The repo setup procedure is updated to detect $GIT_DIR/commondir and
set $GIT_COMMON_DIR properly.
The core.worktree is ignored when $GIT_COMMON_DIR is set. This is
because the config file is shared in multi-checkout setup, but
checkout directories _are_ different. Making core.worktree effective
in all checkouts mean it's back to a single checkout.

This variable is intended to support multiple working directories
attached to a repository. Such a repository may have a main working
directory, created by either "git init" or "git clone" and one or more
linked working directories. These working directories and the main
repository share the same repository directory.
In linked working directories, $GIT_COMMON_DIR must be defined to point
to the real repository directory and $GIT_DIR points to an unused
subdirectory inside $GIT_COMMON_DIR. File locations inside the
repository are reorganized from the linked worktree view point:
- worktree-specific such as HEAD, logs/HEAD, index, other top-level
refs and unrecognized files are from $GIT_DIR.
- the rest like objects, refs, info, hooks, packed-refs, shallow...
are from $GIT_COMMON_DIR (except info/sparse-checkout, but that's
a separate patch)
Scripts are supposed to retrieve paths in $GIT_DIR with "git rev-parse
--git-path", which will take care of "$GIT_DIR vs $GIT_COMMON_DIR"
business.
The redirection is done by git_path(), git_pathdup() and
strbuf_git_path(). The selected list of paths goes to $GIT_COMMON_DIR,
not the other way around in case a developer adds a new
worktree-specific file and it's accidentally promoted to be shared
across repositories (this includes unknown files added by third party
commands)
The list of known files that belong to $GIT_DIR are:
ADD_EDIT.patch BISECT_ANCESTORS_OK BISECT_EXPECTED_REV BISECT_LOG
BISECT_NAMES CHERRY_PICK_HEAD COMMIT_MSG FETCH_HEAD HEAD MERGE_HEAD
MERGE_MODE MERGE_RR NOTES_EDITMSG NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE ORIG_HEAD

next-index-* rebase-apply rebase-merge rsync-refs-* sequencer/*

Path mapping is NOT done for git_path_submodule(). Multi-checkouts are
not supported as submodules.

We allow the user to relocate certain paths out of $GIT_DIR via
environment variables, e.g. GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY, GIT_INDEX_FILE and
GIT_GRAFT_FILE. Callers are not supposed to use git_path() or
git_pathdup() to get those paths. Instead they must use
get_object_directory(), get_index_file() and get_graft_file()
respectively. This is inconvenient and could be missed in review (for
example, there's git_path("objects/info/alternates") somewhere in
sha1_file.c).
This patch makes git_path() and git_pathdup() understand those
environment variables. So if you set GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY to /foo/bar,
git_path("objects/abc") should return /foo/bar/abc. The same is done
for the two remaining env variables.
"git rev-parse --git-path" is the wrapper for script use.
This patch kinda reverts a0279e1 (setup_git_env: use git_pathdup
instead of xmalloc + sprintf - 2014-06-19) because using git_pathdup
here would result in infinite recursion:
setup_git_env() -> git_pathdup("objects") -> .. -> adjust_git_path()
-> get_object_directory() -> oops, git_object_directory is NOT set
yet -> setup_git_env()
I wanted to make git_pathdup_literal() that skips adjust_git_path().
But that won't work because later on when $GIT_COMMON_DIR is
introduced, git_pathdup_literal("objects") needs adjust_git_path() to
replace $GIT_DIR with $GIT_COMMON_DIR.

In the previous patch, git_snpath() is modified to allocate a new
strbuf buffer because vsnpath() needs that. But that makes it
awkward because git_snpath() receives a pre-allocated buffer from
outside and has to copy data back. Rename it to strbuf_git_path()
and make it receive strbuf directly.
Using git_path() in update_refs_for_switch() which used to call
git_snpath() is safe because that function and all of its callers do
not keep any pointer to the round-robin buffer pool allocated by
get_pathname().

Before the previous commit, get_pathname returns an array of PATH_MAX
length. Even if git_path() and similar functions does not use the
whole array, git_path() caller can, in theory.
After the commit, get_pathname() may return a buffer that has just
enough room for the returned string and git_path() caller should never
write beyond that.
Make git_path(), mkpath() and git_path_submodule() return a const
buffer to make sure callers do not write in it at all.
This could have been part of the previous commit, but the "const"

Prune has to walk $GIT_DIR/objects/?? in order to find the
set of loose objects to prune. Other parts of the code
(e.g., count-objects) want to do the same. Let's factor it
out into a reusable for_each-style function.
Note that this is not quite a straight code movement. The
original code had strange behavior when it found a file of
the form "[0-9a-f]{2}/.{38}" that did _not_ contain all hex
digits. It executed a "break" from the loop, meaning that we
stopped pruning in that directory (but still pruned other
directories!). This was probably a bug; we do not want to
process the file as an object, but we should keep going
otherwise (and that is how the new code handles it).
We are also a little more careful with loose object
directories which fail to open. The original code silently
ignored any failures, but the new code will complain about
any problems besides ENOENT.

We currently do not handle badly named refs well:
$ cp .git/refs/heads/master .git/refs/heads/master.....@\*@\\.
$ git branch
fatal: Reference has invalid format: 'refs/heads/master.....@*@\.'
$ git branch -D master.....@\*@\\.
error: branch 'master.....@*@\.' not found.
Users cannot recover from a badly named ref without manually finding
and deleting the loose ref file or appropriate line in packed-refs.
Making that easier will make it easier to tweak the ref naming rules
in the future, for example to forbid shell metacharacters like '`'
and '"', without putting people in a state that is hard to get out of.
So allow "branch --list" to show these refs and allow "branch -d/-D"
and "update-ref -d" to delete them. Other commands (for example to
rename refs) will continue to not handle these refs but can be changed
in later patches.
Details:
In resolving functions, refuse to resolve refs that don't pass the
git-check-ref-format(1) check unless the new RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME
flag is passed. Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, refuse to
resolve refs that escape the refs/ directory and do not match the
pattern [A-Z_]* (think "HEAD" and "MERGE_HEAD").
In locking functions, refuse to act on badly named refs unless they
are being deleted and either are in the refs/ directory or match [A-Z_]*.
Just like other invalid refs, flag resolved, badly named refs with the
REF_ISBROKEN flag, treat them as resolving to null_sha1, and skip them
in all iteration functions except for for_each_rawref.
Flag badly named refs (but not symrefs pointing to badly named refs)
with a REF_BAD_NAME flag to make it easier for future callers to
notice and handle them specially. For example, in a later patch
for-each-ref will use this flag to detect refs whose names can confuse
callers parsing for-each-ref output.
In the transaction API, refuse to create or update badly named refs,
but allow deleting them (unless they try to escape refs/ and don't match
[A-Z_]*).

For now, we still make sure to allocate at least PATH_MAX characters
for the strbuf because resolve_symlink() doesn't know how to expand

Another alternative would be to just use a strbuf as scratch space in
lock_file() but then store a pointer to the naked string in struct
lock_file. But lock_file objects are often reused. By reusing the
same strbuf, we can avoid having to reallocate the string most times
when a lock_file object is reused.

The function remove_lock_file_on_signal() is used as a signal handler.
It is not realistic to make the signal handler conform strictly to the
C standard, which is very restrictive about what a signal handler is
allowed to do. But let's increase the likelihood that it will work:
The lock_file_list global variable and several fields from struct
lock_file are used by the signal handler. Declare those values
"volatile" to (1) force the main process to write the values to RAM
promptly, and (2) prevent updates to these fields from being reordered
in a way that leaves an opportunity for a jump to the signal handler
while the object is in an inconsistent state.
We don't mark the filename field volatile because that would prevent
the use of strcpy(), and it is anyway unlikely that a compiler
re-orders a strcpy() call across other expressions. So in practice it
should be possible to get away without "volatile" in the "filename"
case.

Because remove_lock_file() can be called any time by the signal
handler, it is important that any lock_file objects that are in the
lock_file_list are always in a valid state. And since lock_file
objects are often reused (but are never removed from lock_file_list),
that means we have to be careful whenever mutating a lock_file object
to always keep it in a well-defined state.
This was formerly not the case, because part of the state was encoded
by setting lk->filename to the empty string vs. a valid filename. It
is wrong to assume that this string can be updated atomically; for
example, even
strcpy(lk->filename, value)
is unsafe. But the old code was even more reckless; for example,
strcpy(lk->filename, path);
if (!(flags & LOCK_NODEREF))
resolve_symlink(lk->filename, max_path_len);
strcat(lk->filename, ".lock");
During the call to resolve_symlink(), lk->filename contained the name
of the file that was being locked, not the name of the lockfile. If a
signal were raised during that interval, then the signal handler would
have deleted the valuable file!
We could probably continue to use the filename field to encode the
state by being careful to write characters 1..N-1 of the filename
first, and then overwrite the NUL at filename[0] with the first
character of the filename, but that would be awkward and error-prone.
So, instead of using the filename field to determine whether the
lock_file object is active, add a new field "lock_file::active" for
this purpose. Be careful to set this field only when filename really
contains the name of a file that should be deleted on cleanup.

Let's instead teach parse_date, datestamp, etc to write to a

required are:

Currently `git_config()` returns an integer signifying an error code.
During rewrites of the function most of the code was shifted to
`git_config_with_options()`. `git_config_with_options()` normally
returns positive values if its `config_source` parameter is set as NULL,
as most errors are fatal, and non-fatal potential errors are guarded
by "if" statements that are entered only when no error is possible.
Still a negative value can be returned in case of race condition between
`access_or_die()` & `git_config_from_file()`. Also, all callers of
`git_config()` ignore the return value except for one case in branch.c.

`~/.gitconfig` etc.). Add two external functions `git_configset_get_value`
and `git_configset_get_value_multi` for querying from the config sets.
`git_configset_get_value` follows `last one wins` semantic (i.e. if there
are multiple matches for the queried key in the files of the configset the
value returned will be the last entry in `value_list`).
`git_configset_get_value_multi` returns a list of values sorted in order of
increasing priority (i.e. last match will be at the end of the list). Add
type specific query functions like `git_configset_get_bool` and similar.
Add a default `config_set`, `the_config_set` to cache all key-value pairs
read from usual config files (repo specific .git/config, user wide
~/.gitconfig, XDG config and the global /etc/gitconfig). `the_config_set`
is populated using `git_config()`.
Add two external functions `git_config_get_value` and
`git_config_get_value_multi` for querying in a non-callback manner from
`the_config_set`. Also, add type specific query functions that are
implemented as a thin wrapper around the `config_set` API.

We keep a static counter to set the commit index on newly
allocated objects. However, since we also need to set the
index on any_objects which are converted to commits, let's
make the counter available as a public function.
While we're moving it, let's make sure the counter is
allocated as an unsigned integer to match the index field in
"struct commit".

When the user has no ~/.gitconfig file, git config --global --edit used
to launch an editor on an nonexistant file name.
Instead, create a file with a default content before launching the
editor. The template contains only commented-out entries, to save a few
keystrokes for the user. If the values are guessed properly, the user
will only have to uncomment the entries.
Advanced users teaching newbies can create a minimalistic configuration
faster for newbies. Beginners reading a tutorial advising to run "git
config --global --edit" as a first step will be slightly more guided for
their first contact with Git.
