Older versions of pack-refs did not write peel lines for
refs outside of refs/tags. This meant that on reading the
pack-refs file, we might set the REF_KNOWS_PEELED flag for
such a ref, even though we do not know anything about its
peeled value.
The previous commit updated the writer to always peel, no
matter what the ref is. That means that packed-refs files
written by newer versions of git are fine to be read by both
old and new versions of git. However, we still have the
problem of reading packed-refs files written by older
versions of git, or by other implementations which have not
yet learned the same trick.
The simplest fix would be to always unset the
REF_KNOWS_PEELED flag for refs outside of refs/tags that do
not have a peel line (if it has a peel line, we know it is
valid, but we cannot assume a missing peel line means
anything). But that loses an important optimization, as
upload-pack should not need to load the object pointed to by
refs/heads/foo to determine that it is not a tag.
Instead, we add a "fully-peeled" trait to the packed-refs
file. If it is set, we know that we can trust a missing peel
line to mean that a ref cannot be peeled. Otherwise, we fall
back to assuming nothing.

"git checkout -" is a short-hand for "git checkout @{-1}" and the
"@{nth}" notation for a negative number is to find nth previous
checkout in the reflog of the HEAD to determine the name of the
branch the user was on. We would want to find the nth most recent
reflog entry that matches "checkout: moving from X to Y" for this.
Unfortunately, reflog is implemented as an append-only file, and the
API to iterate over its entries, for_each_reflog_ent(), reads the
file in order, giving the entries from the oldest to newer. For the
purpose of finding nth most recent one, this API forces us to record
the last n entries in a rotating buffer and give the result out only
after we read everything. To optimize for a common case of finding
the nth most recent one for a small value of n, we also have a side
API for_each_recent_reflog_ent() that starts reading near the end of
the file, but it still has to read the entries in the "wrong" order.
The implementation of understanding @{-1} uses this interface.
This all becomes unnecessary if we add an API to let us iterate over
reflog entries in the reverse order, from the newest to older.

upload/receive-pack: allow hiding ref hierarchies
upload-pack: simplify request validation
upload-pack: share more code
A repository may have refs that are only used for its internal
bookkeeping purposes that should not be exposed to the others that
come over the network.
Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from its initial advertisement
by paying attention to the uploadpack.hiderefs multi-valued
configuration variable. Do the same to receive-pack via the
receive.hiderefs variable. As a convenient short-hand, allow using
transfer.hiderefs to set the value to both of these variables.
Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value of these
variable is excluded from responses to requests made by "ls-remote",
"fetch", etc. (for upload-pack) and "push" (for receive-pack).
Because these hidden refs do not count as OUR_REF, an attempt to
fetch objects at the tip of them will be rejected, and because these
refs do not get advertised, "git push :" will not see local branches
that have the same name as them as "matching" ones to be sent.
An attempt to update/delete these hidden refs with an explicit
refspec, e.g. "git push origin :refs/hidden/22", is rejected. This
is not a new restriction. To the pusher, it would appear that there
is no such ref, so its push request will conclude with "Now that I
sent you all the data, it is time for you to update the refs. I saw
that the ref did not exist when I started pushing, and I want the
result to point at this commit". The receiving end will apply the
compare-and-swap rule to this request and rejects the push with
"Well, your update request conflicts with somebody else; I see there
is such a ref.", which is the right thing to do. Otherwise a push to
a hidden ref will always be "the last one wins", which is not a good
default.

"git pack-refs" that ran in parallel to another process that created
new refs had a nasty race.
* jk/repack-ref-racefix:
refs: do not use cached refs in repack_without_ref
When we delete a ref that is packed, we rewrite the whole
packed-refs file and simply omit the ref that no longer
exists. However, we base the rewrite on whatever happens to
be in our refs cache, not what is necessarily on disk. That
opens us up to a race condition if another process is
simultaneously packing the refs, as we will overwrite their
newly-made pack-refs file with our potentially stale data,
losing commits.
You can demonstrate the race like this:
# setup some repositories
git init --bare parent &&
(cd parent && git config core.logallrefupdates true) &&
git clone parent child &&
(cd child && git commit --allow-empty -m base)
# in one terminal, repack the refs repeatedly
cd parent &&
while true; do
git pack-refs --all
done
# in another terminal, simultaneously push updates to
# master, and create and delete an unrelated ref
cd child &&
while true; do
git push origin HEAD:newbranch &&
git commit --allow-empty -m foo
us=`git rev-parse master` &&
git push origin master &&
git push origin :newbranch &&
them=`git --git-dir=../parent rev-parse master` &&
if test "$them" != "$us"; then
echo >&2 "$them" != "$us"
exit 1
fi
done
In many cases the two processes will conflict over locking
the packed-refs file, and the deletion of newbranch will
simply fail. But eventually you will hit the race, which
happens like this:
1. We push a new commit to master. It is already packed
(from the looping pack-refs call). We write the new
value (let us call it B) to $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master,
but the old value (call it A) remains in the
packed-refs file.
2. We push the deletion of newbranch, spawning a
receive-pack process. Receive-pack advertises all refs
to the client, causing it to iterate over each ref; it
caches the packed refs in memory, which points at the
stale value A.
3. Meanwhile, a separate pack-refs process is running. It
runs to completion, updating the packed-refs file to
point master at B, and deleting $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master
which also pointed at B.
4. Back in the receive-pack process, we get the
instruction to delete :newbranch. We take a lock on
packed-refs (which works, as the other pack-refs
process has already finished). We then rewrite the
contents using the cached refs, which contain the stale
value A.
The resulting packed-refs file points master once again at
A. The loose ref which would override it to point at B was
deleted (rightfully) in step 3. As a result, master now
points at A. The only trace that B ever existed in the
parent is in the reflog: the final entry will show master
moving from A to B, even though the ref still points at A
(so you can detect this race after the fact, because the
next reflog entry will move from A to C).
We can fix this by invalidating the packed-refs cache after
we have taken the lock. This means that we will re-read the
packed-refs file, and since we have the lock, we will be
sure that what we read will be atomically up-to-date when we
write (it may be out of date with respect to loose refs, but
that is OK, as loose refs take precedence).

The point of peel_ref is to dereference tags; if the base
object is not a tag, then we can return early without even
loading the object into memory.
This patch accomplishes that by checking sha1_object_info
for the type. For a packed object, we can get away with just
looking in the pack index. For a loose object, we only need
to inflate the first couple of header bytes.
This is a bit of a gamble; if we do find a tag object, then
we will end up loading the content anyway, and the extra
lookup will have been wasteful. However, if it is not a tag
object, then we save loading the object entirely. Depending
on the ratio of non-tags to tags in the input, this can be a
minor win or minor loss.
However, it does give us one potential major win: if a ref
points to a large blob (e.g., via an unannotated tag), then
we can avoid looking at it entirely.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The idea of the peel_ref function is to dereference tag
objects recursively until we hit a non-tag, and return the
sha1. Conceptually, it should return 0 if it is successful
(and fill in the sha1), or -1 if there was nothing to peel.
However, the current behavior is much more confusing. For a
regular loose ref, the behavior is as described above. But
there is an optimization to reuse the peeled-ref value for a
ref that came from a packed-refs file. If we have such a
ref, we return its peeled value, even if that peeled value
is null (indicating that we know the ref definitely does
_not_ peel).
It might seem like such information is useful to the caller,
who would then know not to bother loading and trying to peel
the object. Except that they should not bother loading and
trying to peel the object _anyway_, because that fallback is
already handled by peel_ref. In other words, the whole point
of calling this function is that it handles those details
internally, and you either get a sha1, or you know that it
is not peel-able.
This patch catches the null sha1 case internally and
converts it into a -1 return value (i.e., there is nothing
to peel). This simplifies callers, which do not need to
bother checking themselves.
Two callers are worth noting:
- in pack-objects, a comment indicates that there is a
difference between non-peelable tags and unannotated
tags. But that is not the case (before or after this
patch). Whether you get a null sha1 has to do with
internal details of how peel_ref operated.
- in show-ref, if peel_ref returns a failure, the caller
tries to decide whether to try peeling manually based on
whether the REF_ISPACKED flag is set. But this doesn't
make any sense. If the flag is set, that does not
necessarily mean the ref came from a packed-refs file
with the "peeled" extension. But it doesn't matter,
because even if it didn't, there's no point in trying to
peel it ourselves, as peel_ref would already have done
so. In other words, the fallback peeling is guaranteed
to fail.

When we are asked to peel a ref to a sha1, we internally call
deref_tag, which will recursively parse each tagged object
until we reach a non-tag. This has the benefit that we will
verify our ability to load and parse the pointed-to object.
However, there is a performance downside: we may not need to
load that object at all (e.g., if we are listing peeled
simply listing peeled refs), or it may be a large object
that should follow a streaming code path (e.g., an annotated
tag of a large blob).
It makes more sense for peel_ref to choose the fast thing
rather than performing the extra check, for two reasons:
1. We will already sometimes short-circuit the tag parsing
in favor of a peeled entry from a packed-refs file. So
we are already favoring speed in some cases, and it is
not wise for a caller to rely on peel_ref to detect
corruption.
2. We already silently ignore much larger corruptions,
like a ref that points to a non-existent object, or a
tag object that exists but is corrupted.
2. peel_ref is not the right place to check for such a
database corruption. It is returning only the sha1
anyway, not the actual object. Any callers which use
that sha1 to load an object will soon discover the
corruption anyway, so we are really just pushing back
the discovery to later in the program.

* mh/ref-api-lazy-loose:
free_ref_entry(): do not trigger reading of loose refs
The old code allowed many references to be efficiently added to a
single directory, because it just appended the references to the
containing directory unsorted without doing any searching (and
therefore without requiring any intermediate sorting). But the old
code was inefficient when a large number of subdirectories were added
to a directory, because the directory always had to be searched to see
if the new subdirectory already existed, and this search required the
directory to be sorted first. The same was repeated for every new
subdirectory, so the time scaled like O(N^2), where N is the number of
subdirectories within a single directory.
In practice, references are often added to the ref_cache in
lexicographic order, for example when reading the packed-refs file.
So build some intelligence into add_entry_to_dir() to optimize for the
case of references and/or subdirectories being added in lexicographic
order: if the existing entries were already sorted, and the new entry
comes after the last existing entry, then adjust ref_dir::sorted to
reflect the fact that the ref_dir is still sorted.
Thanks to Peff for pointing out the performance regression that
inspired this change.

The search_ref_dir() function is about looking up an existing ref_entry in
a sorted array of ref_entry stored in dir->entries, but it still allocates
a new ref_entry and frees it before returning. This is only because the
call to bsearch(3) was coded in a suboptimal way. Unlike the comparison
function given to qsort(3), the first parameter to its comparison function
does not need to point at an object that is shaped like an element in the
array.
Introduce a new comparison function that takes a counted string as the key
and an element in an array of ref_entry and give it to bsearch(), so that
we do not have to allocate a new ref_entry that we will never return to
the caller anyway.

Store references hierarchically in a tree that matches the

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.

Keep track of how many entries at the beginning of a ref_array are already
sorted. In sort_ref_array(), return early if the the array is already
sorted (i.e., if no new references has been appended to the end of the
list since the last call to sort_ref_array()).
Sort ref_arrays only when needed, namely in search_ref_array() and in
do_for_each_ref(). However, never call sort_ref_array() on the
extra_refs, because extra_refs can contain multiple entries with the same
name and because sort_ref_array() not only sorts, but de-dups its
contents.
This change is currently not useful, because entries are not added to
ref_arrays after they are created. But in a moment they will be...
Implementation note: we could store a binary "sorted" value instead of
an integer, but storing the number of sorted entries leaves the way
open for a couple of possible future optimizations:
* In sort_ref_array(), sort *only* the unsorted entries, then merge
them with the sorted entries. This should be faster if most of the
entries are already sorted.
* Teach search_ref_array() to do a binary search of any sorted
entries, and if unsuccessful do a linear search of any unsorted
entries. This would avoid the need to sort the list every time that
search_ref_array() is called, and (given some intelligence about how
often to sort) could significantly improve the speed in certain
hypothetical usage patterns.

The add_extra_ref() interface is used to add an extra-ref that is _not_

object transfer from remote repository, and they are typically formatted
as a tagname followed by ^{} to make sure no valid refs match that

"git log frotz" can DWIM to "refs/remotes/frotz/HEAD", but in the remote
access context, "git fetch frotz" to fetch what the other side happened to
have fetched from what it calls 'frotz' (which may not have any relation
to what we consider is 'frotz') the last time would not make much sense,
so the fetch rules table did not include "refs/remotes/%.*s/HEAD".
When the user really wants to, "git fetch $there remotes/frotz/HEAD" would
let her do so anyway, so this is not about safety or security; it merely
is about confusion avoidance and discouraging meaningless usage.
Specifically, it is _not_ about ambiguity avoidance. A name that would
become ambiguous if we use the same rules table for both fetch and local
rev-parse would be ambiguous locally at the remote side.
So for the same reason as we added rule to allow "git fetch $there v1.0"
instead of "git fetch $there tags/v1.0" in the previous commit, here is a
bit longer rope for the users, which incidentally simplifies our code.

But it is easier (to document and understand) for bad_ref_char()

just call sort_ref_list on the result of the top-level get_ref_dir, so
that the sort is only done once.
In the common case of only a few different directories of refs the
difference isn't very noticable, but it becomes very noticeable when
you have a large number of direcotries containing refs (e.g. as

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.
