95b567c7c3 use skip_prefix to avoid repeating strings
It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it
with strlen, like:

  if (starts_with(foo, "bar"))
	  foo += strlen("bar");

This avoids magic numbers, but means we have to repeat the
string (and there is no compiler check that we didn't make a
typo in one of the strings).

We can use skip_prefix to handle this case without repeating
ourselves.

fa3f60b783 use xstrfmt in favor of manual size calculations
In many parts of the code, we do an ugly and error-prone
malloc like:

  const char *fmt = "something %s";
  buf = xmalloc(strlen(foo) + 10 + 1);
  sprintf(buf, fmt, foo);

This makes the code brittle, and if we ever get the
allocation wrong, is a potential heap overflow. Let's
instead favor xstrfmt, which handles the allocation
automatically, and makes the code shorter and more readable.

e6f637122e fetch: handle overlaping refspecs on --prune
We need to consider that a remote-tracking branch may match more than
one rhs of a fetch refspec. In such a case, it is not enough to stop at
the first match but look at all of the matches in order to determine
whether a head is stale.

To this goal, introduce a variant of query_refspecs which returns all of
the matching refspecs and loop over those answers to check for
staleness.

ba928c13d7 push: detect local refspec errors early
When pushing, we do not even look at our push refspecs until
after we have made contact with the remote receive-pack and
gotten its list of refs. This means that we may go to some
work, including asking the user to log in, before realizing
we have simple errors like "git push origin matser".

We cannot catch all refspec problems, since fully evaluating
the refspecs requires knowing what the remote side has. But
we can do a quick sanity check of the local side and catch a
few simple error cases.

471fd3fe41 match_explicit_lhs: allow a "verify only" mode
The match_explicit_lhs function has all of the logic
necessary to verify the refspecs without actually doing any
work. This patch lets callers pass a NULL "match" pointer to
indicate they want a "verify only" operation.

For the most part, we just need to avoid writing to the NULL
pointer. However, we also have to refactor the
try_explicit_object_name sub-function; it indicates success by
allocating and returning a new ref. Instead, we give it an
"out" parameter for the match and return a numeric status.

98b406f3ad remote: handle pushremote config in any order
The remote we push can be defined either by
remote.pushdefault or by branch.*.pushremote for the current
branch. The order in which they appear in the config file
should not matter to precedence (which should be to prefer
the branch-specific config).

The current code parses the config linearly and uses a
single string to store both values, overwriting any
previous value. Thus, config like:

  [branch "master"]
  pushremote = foo
  [remote]
  pushdefault = bar

erroneously ends up pushing to "bar" from the master branch.

We can fix this by storing both values and resolving the
correct value after all config is read.

54457fe509 refname_match(): always use the rules in ref_rev_parse_rules
We used to use two separate rules for the normal ref resolution
dwimming and dwimming done to decide which remote ref to grab.  The
third parameter to refname_match() selected which rules to use.

When these two rules were harmonized in

    2011-11-04 dd621df9cd refs DWIMmery: use the same rule for both "git fetch" and others

, ref_fetch_rules was #defined to avoid potential breakages for
in-flight topics.

It is now safe to remove the backwards-compatibility code, so remove
refname_match()'s third parameter, make ref_rev_parse_rules private to
refs.c, and remove ref_fetch_rules entirely.

e66ef7ae6f Merge branch 'mh/fetch-tags-in-addition-to-normal-refs'
The "--tags" option to "git fetch" used to be literally a synonym to
a "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" refspec, which meant that (1) as an
explicit refspec given from the command line, it silenced the lazy
"git fetch" default that is configured, and (2) also as an explicit
refspec given from the command line, it interacted with "--prune"
to remove any tag that the remote we are fetching from does not
have.

This demotes it to an option; with it, we fetch all tags in
addition to what would be fetched without the option, and it does
not interact with the decision "--prune" makes to see what
remote-tracking refs the local has are missing the remote
counterpart.

      xargs perl -pi -e '

ca02465b41 push: use remote.$name.push as a refmap
Since f2690487 (fetch: opportunistically update tracking refs,
2013-05-11), we stopped taking a non-storing refspec given on the
command line of "git fetch" literally, and instead started mapping
it via remote.$name.fetch refspecs.  This allows

    $ git fetch origin master

from the 'origin' repository, which is configured with

    [remote "origin"]
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

to update refs/remotes/origin/master with the result, as if the
command line were

    $ git fetch origin +master:refs/remotes/origin/master

to reduce surprises and improve usability.  Before that change, a
refspec on the command line without a colon was only to fetch the
history and leave the result in FETCH_HEAD, without updating the
remote-tracking branches.

When you are simulating a fetch from you by your mothership with a
push by you into your mothership, instead of having:

    [remote "satellite"]
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/*

on the mothership repository and running:

    mothership$ git fetch satellite

you would have:

    [remote "mothership"]
        push = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/*

on your satellite machine, and run:

    satellite$ git push mothership

Because we so far did not make the corresponding change to the push
side, this command:

    satellite$ git push mothership master

does _not_ allow you on the satellite to only push 'master' out but
still to the usual destination (i.e. refs/remotes/satellite/master).

Implement the logic to map an unqualified refspec given on the
command line via the remote.$name.push refspec.  This will bring a
bit more symmetry between "fetch" and "push".

emit an error message that is more informative based on whether one of
the conflicting refspecs is an opportunistic update during a fetch

opportunistic reference update conflicts with an express wish of the
user; rather, just emit a warning and skip the opportunistic reference
update.

09ea1f8e0e ref_remove_duplicates(): avoid redundant bisection
The old code called string_list_lookup(), and if that failed called
string_list_insert(), thus doing the bisection search through the
string list twice in the latter code path.

Instead, just call string_list_insert() right away.  If an entry for
that peer reference name already existed, then its util pointer is
always non-NULL.

Of course this doesn't change the fact that the repeated
string_list_insert() calls make the function scale like O(N^2) if the
input reference list is not already approximately sorted.

11a6ba1c01 remote: do not copy "origin" string literal
Our default_remote_name starts at "origin", but may be
overridden by the config file. In the former case, we
allocate a new string, but in the latter case, we point to
the remote name in an existing "struct branch".

This gives the variable inconsistent free() semantics (we
are sometimes responsible for freeing the string and
sometimes pointing to somebody else's storage), and causes a
small leak when the allocated string is overridden by
config.

We can fix both by simply dropping the extra copy and
pointing to the string literal.

Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force",

The machinery is more or less ready.  The "--force" option is again
the big red button to override any safety, thanks to J6t's sanity
(the original round allowed --lockref to defeat --force).

The logic to choose the default implemented here is fragile
(e.g. "git fetch" after seeing a failure will update the
remote-tracking branch and will make the next "push" pass,
defeating the safety pretty easily).  It is suitable only for the
simplest workflows, and it may hurt users more than it helps them.

f223459bec status: always show tracking branch even no change
In order to see what the current branch is tracking, one way is using
"git branch -v -v", but branches other than the current are also
reported. Another way is using "git status", such as:

    $ git status
    # On branch master
    # Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
    ...

But this will not work if there is no change between the current
branch and its upstream. Always report upstream tracking info
even if there is no difference, so that "git status" is consistent
for checking tracking info for current branch. E.g.

    $ git status
    # On branch feature1
    # Your branch is up-to-date with 'github/feature1'.
    ...

    $ git status -bs
    ## feature1...github/feature1
    ...

    $ git checkout feature1
    Already on 'feature1'
    Your branch is up-to-date with 'github/feature1'.
    ...

f2e087395b branch: report invalid tracking branch as gone
Command "git branch -vv" will report tracking branches, but invalid
tracking branches are also reported. This is because the function
stat_tracking_info() can not distinguish invalid tracking branch

there is no upstream settings at all, or nothing is changed between
one branch and its upstream.

Junio suggested missing upstream should be reported [1] like:

    $ git branch -v -v
      master    e67ac84 initial
    * topic     3fc0f2a [topicbase: gone] topic

    $ git status
    # On branch topic
    # Your branch is based on 'topicbase', but the upstream is gone.
    #   (use "git branch --unset-upstream" to fixup)
    ...

    $ git status -b -s
    ## topic...topicbase [gone]
    ...

In order to do like that, we need to distinguish these three cases
(i.e. no tracking, with configured but no longer valid tracking, and
with tracking) in function stat_tracking_info(). So the refactored
function stat_tracking_info() has three return values: -1 (with "gone"
base), 0 (no base), and 1 (with base).

If the caller does not like to report tracking info when nothing
changed between the branch and its upstream, simply checks if
num_theirs and num_ours are both 0.

631b5ef219 push --force-with-lease: tie it all together
This teaches the deepest part of the callchain for "git push" (and
"git send-pack") to enforce "the old value of the ref must be this,
otherwise fail this push" (aka "compare-and-swap" / "--lockref").

91048a9537 push --force-with-lease: implement logic to populate old_sha1_expect[]
This plugs the push_cas_option data collected by the command line
option parser to the transport system with a new function
apply_push_cas(), which is called after match_push_refs() has
already been called.

At this point, we know which remote we are talking to, and what
remote refs we are going to update, so we can fill in the details
that may have been missing from the command line, such as

 (1) what abbreviated refname the user gave us matches the actual
     refname at the remote; and

 (2) which remote-tracking branch in our local repository to read
     the value of the object to expect at the remote.

to populate the old_sha1_expect[] field of each of the remote ref.
As stated in the documentation, the use of remote-tracking branch
as the default is a tentative one, and we may come up with a better
logic as we gain experience.

Still nobody uses this information, which is the topic of the next
patch.

28f5d17611 remote.c: add command line option parser for "--force-with-lease"
Update "git push" and "git send-pack" to parse this commnd line
option.

The intended sematics is:

 * "--force-with-lease" alone, without specifying the details, will
   protect _all_ remote refs that are going to be updated by
   requiring their current value to be the same as some reasonable
   default, unless otherwise specified;

 * "--force-with-lease=refname", without specifying the expected
   value, will protect that refname, if it is going to be updated,
   by requiring its current value to be the same as some reasonable
   default.

 * "--force-with-lease=refname:value" will protect that refname, if
   it is going to be updated, by requiring its current value to be
   the same as the specified value; and

 * "--no-force-with-lease" will cancel all the previous --force-with-lease on the
   command line.

For now, "some reasonable default" is tentatively defined as "the
value of the remote-tracking branch we have for the ref of the
remote being updated", and it is an error if we do not have such a
remote-tracking branch.  But this is known to be fragile, its use is
not yet recommended, and hopefully we will find more reasonable
default as we gain experience with this feature.  The manual marks
the feature as experimental unless the expected value is specified
explicitly for this reason.

Because the command line options are parsed _before_ we know which
remote we are pushing to, there needs further processing to the
parsed data after we instantiate the transport object to:

 * expand "refname" given by the user to a full refname to be
   matched with the list of "struct ref" used in match_push_refs()
   and set_ref_status_for_push(); and

 * learning the actual local ref that is the remote-tracking branch
   for the specified remote ref.

Further, some processing need to be deferred until we find the set
of remote refs and match_push_refs() returns in order to find the
ones that need to be checked after explicit ones have been processed
for "--force-with-lease" (no specific details).

These post-processing will be the topic of the next patch.

This option was originally called "cas" (for "compare and swap"),
the name which nobody liked because it was too technical.  The
second attempt called it "lockref" (because it is conceptually like
pushing after taking a lock) but the word "lock" was hated because
it implied that it may reject push by others, which is not the way
this option works.  This round calls it "force-with-lease".  You
assume you took the lease on the ref when you fetched to decide what
the rebased history should be, and you can push back only if the
lease has not been broken.

737c5a9cde fetch: make --prune configurable
Without "git fetch --prune", remote-tracking branches for a branch
the other side already has removed will stay forever.  Some people
want to always run "git fetch --prune".

To accommodate users who want to either prune always or when fetching
from a particular remote, add two new configuration variables
"fetch.prune" and "remote.<name>.prune":

 - "fetch.prune" allows to enable prune for all fetch operations.

 - "remote.<name>.prune" allows to change the behaviour per remote.

The latter will naturally override the former, and the --[no-]prune
option from the command line will override the configured default.

Since --prune is a potentially destructive operation (Git doesn't
keep reflogs for deleted references yet), we don't want to prune
without users consent, so this configuration will not be on by
default.

47a5918536 cache.h: move remote/connect API out of it
The definition of "struct ref" in "cache.h", a header file so
central to the system, always confused me.  This structure is not
about the local ref used by sha1-name API to name local objects.

It is what refspecs are expanded into, after finding out what refs
the other side has, to define what refs are updated after object
transfer succeeds to what values.  It belongs to "remote.h" together
with "struct refspec".

While we are at it, also move the types and functions related to the
Git transport connection to a new header file connect.h

f1bd15ab15 remote.c: avoid O(m*n) behavior in match_push_refs
When pushing using a matching refspec or a pattern refspec, each ref
in the local repository must be paired with a ref advertised by the
remote server.  This is accomplished by using the refspec to transform
the name of the local ref into the name it should have in the remote
repository, and then performing a linear search through the list of
remote refs to see if the remote ref was advertised by the remote
system.

Each of these lookups has O(n) complexity and makes match_push_refs()
be an O(m*n) operation, where m is the number of local refs and n is
the number of remote refs.  If there are many refs 100,000+, then this
ref matching can take a significant amount of time.  Let's prepare an
index of the remote refs to allow searching in O(log n) time and
reduce the complexity of match_push_refs() to O(m log n).

We prepare the index lazily so that it is only created when necessary.
So, there should be no impact when _not_ using a matching or pattern
refspec, i.e. when pushing using only explicit refspecs.

Dry-run push of a repository with 121,913 local and remote refs:

        before     after
real    1m40.582s  0m0.804s
user    1m39.914s  0m0.515s
sys     0m0.125s   0m0.106s

The creation of the index has overhead.  So, if there are very few
local refs, then it could take longer to create the index than it
would have taken to just perform n linear lookups into the remote
ref space.  Using the index should provide some improvement when
the number of local refs is roughly greater than the log of the
number of remote refs (i.e. m >= log n).  The pathological case is
when there is a single local ref and very many remote refs.

Dry-run push of a repository with 121,913 remote refs and a single
local ref:

        before    after
real    0m0.525s  0m0.566s
user    0m0.243s  0m0.279s
sys     0m0.075s  0m0.099s

Using an index takes 41 ms longer, or roughly 7.8% longer.

Jeff King measured a no-op push of a single ref into a remote repo
with 370,000 refs:

        before    after
real    0m1.087s  0m1.156s
user    0m1.344s  0m1.412s
sys     0m0.288s  0m0.284s

Using an index takes 69 ms longer, or roughly 6.3% longer.

None of the measurements above required transferring any objects to
the remote repository.  If the push required transferring objects and
updating the refs in the remote repository, the impact of preparing
the search index would be even smaller.

A similar operation is performed in the reverse direction when pruning
using a matching or pattern refspec.  Let's avoid O(m*n) behavior in
the same way by lazily preparing an index on the local refs.

55cfde251b remote: remove dead code in read_branches_file()
The first line of the function checks that the remote-name contains a
slash ('/'), and sets the "slash" variable accordingly.  The only caller
of read_branches_file() is remote_get_1(); the calling codepath is
guarded by valid_remote_nick(), which checks that the remote does not
contain a slash.  Therefore, the "slash" variable can never be set:
remove the dead code that assumes otherwise.
