6d17dc1dd3 refs.c: handle REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN at end of page
When a ref crosses a memory page boundary, we restart the parsing
at the beginning with the bytewise code.  Pass the original flags
to that code, rather than the current flags.

745224e04a refs.c: SSE2 optimizations for check_refname_component
Optimize check_refname_component using SSE2 on x86_64.

git rev-parse HEAD is a good test-case for this, since it does almost
nothing except parse refs.  For one particular repo with about 60k
refs, almost all packed, the timings are:

Look up table: 29 ms
SSE2:          23 ms

This cuts about 20% off of the runtime.

Ondřej Bílka <neleai@seznam.cz> suggested an SSE2 approach to the
substring searches, which netted a speed boost over the SSE4.2 code I
had initially written.

4207ed285f refs.c: change read_ref_at to use the reflog iterators
read_ref_at has its own parsing of the reflog file for no really good reason
so lets change this to use the existing reflog iterators. This removes one
instance where we manually unmarshall the reflog file format.

Remove the now redundant ref_msg function.

Log messages for errors are changed slightly. We no longer print the file
name for the reflog, instead we refer to it as 'Log for ref <refname>'.
This might be a minor useability regression, but I don't really think so, since
experienced users would know where the log is anyway and inexperienced users
would not know what to do about/how to repair 'Log ... has gap ...' anyway.

Adapt the t1400 test to handle the change in log messages.

e6bea66db6 remote prune: optimize "dangling symref" check/warning
When 'git remote prune' was used to delete many refs in a repository
with many refs, a lot of time was spent checking for (now) dangling
symbolic refs pointing to the deleted ref, since warn_dangling_symref()
was once per deleted ref to check all other refs in the repository.

Avoid this using the new warn_dangling_symrefs() function which
makes one pass over all refs and checks for all the deleted refs in
one go, after they have all been deleted.

c9e768bb77 remote: repack packed-refs once when deleting multiple refs
When 'git remote rm' or 'git remote prune' were used in a repository
with many refs, and needed to delete many remote-tracking refs, a lot
of time was spent deleting those refs since for each deleted ref,
repack_without_refs() was called to rewrite packed-refs without just
that deleted ref.

To avoid this, call repack_without_refs() first to repack without all
the refs that will be deleted, before calling delete_ref() to delete
each one completely.  The call to repack_without_ref() in delete_ref()
then becomes a no-op, since packed-refs already won't contain any of
the deleted refs.

4da588357a refs.c: add new functions reflog_exists and delete_reflog
Add two new functions, reflog_exists and delete_reflog, to hide the internal
reflog implementation (that they are files under .git/logs/...) from callers.
Update checkout.c to use these functions in update_refs_for_switch instead of
building pathnames and calling out to file access functions. Update reflog.c
to use these to check if the reflog exists. Now there are still many places
in reflog.c where we are still leaking the reflog storage implementation but
this at least reduces the number of such dependencies by one. Finally
change two places in refs.c itself to use the new function to check if a ref
exists or not isntead of build-path-and-stat(). Now, this is strictly not all
that important since these are in parts of refs that are implementing the
actual file storage backend but on the other hand it will not hurt either.

595deb8da6 update_refs(): fix constness
The old signature of update_refs() required a
(const struct ref_update **) for its updates_orig argument.  The
"const" is presumably there to promise that the function will not
modify the contents of the structures.

But this declaration does not permit the function to be called with a
(struct ref_update **), which is perfectly legitimate.  C's type
system is not powerful enough to express what we'd like.  So remove
the first "const" from the declaration.

On the other hand, the function *can* promise not to modify the
pointers within the array that is passed to it without inconveniencing
its callers.  So add a "const" that has that effect, making the final
declaration
(struct ref_update * const *).

f1e9e9a4db rename_tmp_log(): limit the number of remote_empty_directories() attempts
This doesn't seem to be a likely error, but we've got the counter
anyway, so we might as well use it for an added bit of safety.

Please note that the first call to rename() is optimistic, and it is
normal for it to fail if there is a directory in the way.  So bump the
total number of allowed attempts to 4, to be sure that we can still
have at least 3 retries in the case of a race.

ae4a283e3b rename_tmp_log(): handle a possible mkdir/rmdir race
If a directory vanishes while renaming the temporary reflog file,
retry (up to 3 times).  This could happen if another process deletes
the directory created by safe_create_leading_directories() just before
we rename the file into the directory.

As far as I can tell, this race could not occur internal to git.  The
only time that a directory under $GIT_DIR/logs is deleted is if room
has to be made for a log file for a reference with the same name;
for example, in the following sequence:

    git branch foo/bar    # Creates file .git/logs/refs/heads/foo/bar
    git branch -d foo/bar # Deletes file but leaves .git/logs/refs/heads/foo/
    git branch foo        # Deletes .git/logs/refs/heads/foo/

But the only reason the last command deletes the directory is because
it wants to create a file with the same name.  So if another process
(e.g.,

    git branch foo/baz

) wants to create that directory, one of the two is doomed to failure
anyway because of a D/F conflict.

If safe_create_leading_directories() fails because a file along the

This can occur if another process is deleting directories at the same
time as we are trying to make them.  For example, "git pack-refs
--all" tries to delete the loose refs and any empty directories that
are left behind.  If a pack-refs process is running, then it might
delete a directory that we need to put a new loose reference in.

If safe_create_leading_directories() thinks this might have happened,
then take its advice and try again (maximum three attempts).

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.

a4165851e7 silence gcc array-bounds warning
In shorten_unambiguous_ref, we build and cache a reverse-map of the
rev-parse rules like this:

  static char **scanf_fmts;
  static int nr_rules;
  if (!nr_rules) {
	  for (; ref_rev_parse_rules[nr_rules]; nr_rules++)
		  ... generate scanf_fmts ...
  }

where ref_rev_parse_rules is terminated with a NULL pointer.
Compiling with "gcc -O2 -Wall" does not cause any problems, but
compiling with "-O3 -Wall" generates:

  $ make CFLAGS='-O3 -Wall' refs.o
  refs.c: In function ‘shorten_unambiguous_ref’:
  refs.c:3379:29: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds]
     for (; ref_rev_parse_rules[nr_rules]; nr_rules++)

Curiously, we can silence this by explicitly nr_rules to 0
in the beginning of the loop, even though the compiler
should be able to tell that we follow this code path only
when nr_rules is already 0.

A call to update_ref_lock() passes '0' to the 'int *type_p' parameter.
Noticed by sparse.  ("Using plain integer as NULL pointer")

Instead of typing four capital letters "HEAD", you can say "@" now,
e.g. "git log @".

* fc/at-head:
  Add new @ shortcut for HEAD
  sha1-name: pass len argument to interpret_branch_name()

9ba89f484e Add new @ shortcut for HEAD
Typing 'HEAD' is tedious, especially when we can use '@' instead.

The reason for choosing '@' is that it follows naturally from the
ref@op syntax (e.g. HEAD@{u}), except we have no ref, and no
operation, and when we don't have those, it makes sens to assume
'HEAD'.

So now we can use 'git show @~1', and all that goody goodness.

Until now '@' was a valid name, but it conflicts with this idea, so
let's make it invalid. Probably very few people, if any, used this name.

2233ad4534 Merge branch 'jc/push-cas'
Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force",
by requiring that the overwritten remote ref to be unchanged since
the new history to replace it was prepared.

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.

* jc/push-cas:
  push: teach --force-with-lease to smart-http transport
  send-pack: fix parsing of --force-with-lease option
  t5540/5541: smart-http does not support "--force-with-lease"
  t5533: test "push --force-with-lease"
  push --force-with-lease: tie it all together

  cache.h: move remote/connect API out of it

98aee92d5c refs: add update_refs for multiple simultaneous updates
Add 'struct ref_update' to encode the information needed to update or
delete a ref (name, new sha1, optional old sha1, no-deref flag).  Add
function 'update_refs' accepting an array of updates to perform.  First
sort the input array to order locks consistently everywhere and reject
multiple updates to the same ref.  Then acquire locks on all refs with
verified old values.  Then update or delete all refs accordingly.  Fail
if any one lock cannot be obtained or any one old value does not match.

Though the refs themselves cannot be modified together in a single
atomic transaction, this function does enable some useful semantics.
For example, a caller may create a new branch starting from the head of
another branch and rewind the original branch at the same time.  This
transfers ownership of commits between branches without risk of losing
commits added to the original branch by a concurrent process, or risk of
a concurrent process creating the new branch first.
