Store references hierarchically in a tree that matches the
pseudo-directory structure of the reference names. Add a new kind of
ref_entry (with flag REF_DIR) to represent a whole subdirectory of
references. Sort ref_dirs one subdirectory at a time.
NOTE: the dirs can now be sorted as a side-effect of other function
calls. Therefore, it would be problematic to do something from a
each_ref_fn callback that could provoke the sorting of a directory
that is currently being iterated over (i.e., the directory containing
the entry that is being processed or any of its parents).
This is a bit far-fetched, because a directory is always sorted just
before being iterated over. Therefore, read-only accesses cannot
trigger the sorting of a directory whose iteration has already
started. But if a callback function would add a reference to a parent
directory of the reference in the iteration, then try to resolve a
reference under that directory, a re-sort could be triggered and cause
the iteration to work incorrectly.
Nevertheless...add a comment in refs.h warning against modifications
during iteration.

Since much of the infrastructure does not work correctly with

Similarly, change "git check-ref-format" to reject unnormalized
refnames by default. But add an option --normalize, which causes "git
check-ref-format" to normalize the refname before checking its format,
and print the normalized refname. This is exactly the behavior of the
old --print option, which is retained but deprecated.

Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument that indicates what
is acceptable in the reference name (analogous to "git

is more convenient for callers and also fixes a failure in the test
suite (and likely elsewhere in the code) by enabling "onelevel" and
"refspec-pattern" to be allowed independently of each other.
Also rename check_ref_format() to check_refname_format() to make it
obvious that it deals with refnames rather than references themselves.

Add support for dividing the refs of a single repository into multiple
namespaces, each of which can have its own branches, tags, and HEAD.
Git can expose each namespace as an independent repository to pull from
and push to, while sharing the object store, and exposing all the refs
to operations such as git-gc.
Storing multiple repositories as namespaces of a single repository
avoids storing duplicate copies of the same objects, such as when
storing multiple branches of the same source. The alternates mechanism
provides similar support for avoiding duplicates, but alternates do not
prevent duplication between new objects added to the repositories
without ongoing maintenance, while namespaces do.
To specify a namespace, set the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable to
the namespace. For each ref namespace, git stores the corresponding
refs in a directory under refs/namespaces/. For example,
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/. You can
also specify namespaces via the --namespace option to git.
Note that namespaces which include a / will expand to a hierarchy of
namespaces; for example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar will store refs under
refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/. This makes paths in
GIT_NAMESPACE behave hierarchically, so that cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar produces the same result as cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo and cloning from that repo with GIT_NAMESPACE=bar. It
also avoids ambiguity with strange namespace paths such as
foo/refs/heads/, which could otherwise generate directory/file conflicts
within the refs directory.
Add the infrastructure for ref namespaces: handle the GIT_NAMESPACE
environment variable and --namespace option, and support iterating over
refs in a namespace.

When create a new branch, we fed "refs/heads/<proposed name>" as a string
to get_sha1() and expected it to fail when a branch already exists.
The right way to check if a ref exists is to check with resolve_ref().
A naïve solution that might appear attractive but does not work is to
forbid slashes in get_describe_name() but that will not work. A describe
name is is in the form of "ANYTHING-g<short sha1>", and that ANYTHING part
comes from a original tag name used in the repository the user ran the
describe command. A sick user could have a confusing hierarchical tag
whose name is "refs/heads/foobar" (stored as refs/tags/refs/heads/foobar")
to generate a describe name "refs/heads/foobar-6-g02ac983", and we should
be able to use that name to refer to the object whose name is 02ac983.

make get_short_ref a public function
for-each-ref: add "upstream" format field
for-each-ref: refactor refname handling
for-each-ref: refactor get_short_ref function
Often we want to shorten a full ref name to something "prettier"
to show a user. For example, "refs/heads/master" is often shown
simply as "master", or "refs/remotes/origin/master" is shown as
"origin/master".
Many places in the code use a very simple formula: skip common
prefixes like refs/heads, refs/remotes, etc. This is codified in
the prettify_ref function.
for-each-ref has a more correct (but more expensive) approach:
consider the ref lookup rules, and try shortening as much as
possible while remaining unambiguous.
This patch makes the latter strategy globally available as
shorten_unambiguous_ref.

This fixes the previous implementation which failed to optimize

lists the kind of extended data the file records. Currently,
there is only one such extension defined, "peeled". This stores
the "peeled tag" on a line that immediately follows a line for a
tag object itself in the format "^<sha-1>".
The header line itself and any extended data are ignored by

version can still be used by older git. packed-refs made by
older git can of course be used with this version.
