Just like other hints such as "Changes to be committed" we show in
the editor to remind the committer what paths were involved in the
resulting commit to help improving their log message, this section
is merely a reminder.
Traditionally, it was not made into comments primarily because it
has to be generated outside the wt-status infrastructure, and also
because it was meant as a bit stronger reminder than the others
(i.e. explaining how you resolved conflicts is much more important
than mentioning what you did to every paths involved in the commit).
But that still does not make this hint a part of the log message
proper, and not showing it as a comment is inviting mistakes.
Note that we still notice "Conflicts:" followed by list of indented
pathnames as an old-style cruft and insert a new Signed-off-by:
before it. This is so that "commit --amend -s" adds the new S-o-b

a HT indented pathname to avoid false positive, but this logic will
be revamped in a later patch to ignore comments and blanks anyway,

If a pack.packSizeLimit is set, we may split the pack data
across multiple packfiles. This means we cannot generate
.bitmap files, as they require that all of the reachable
objects are in the same pack. We check that condition when
we are generating the list of objects to pack (and disable
bitmaps if we are not packing everything), but we forgot to
update it when we notice that we needed to split (which
doesn't happen until the actual write phase).
The resulting bitmaps are quite bogus (they mention entries
that do not exist in the pack!) and can cause a fetch or

When we are given an expiration time like
--unpack-unreachable=2.weeks.ago, we avoid writing out old,
unreachable loose objects entirely, under the assumption
that running "prune" would simply delete them immediately
anyway. However, this is only valid if we computed the same
set of reachable objects as prune would.
In practice, this is the case, because only git-repack uses
the --unpack-unreachable option with an expiration, and it
always feeds as many objects into the pack as possible. But
we can double-check at runtime just to be sure.

When we pack all objects, we use only the objects reachable
from references and reflogs. This misses any objects which
are reachable from the index, but not yet referenced.
By itself this isn't a big deal; the objects can remain
loose until they are actually used in a commit. However, it
does create a problem when we drop packed but unreachable
objects. We try to optimize out the writing of objects that
we will immediately prune, which means we must follow the
same rules as prune in determining what is reachable. And
prune uses the index for this purpose.
This is rather uncommon in practice, as objects in the index
would not usually have been packed in the first place. But
it could happen in a sequence like:
1. You make a commit on a branch that references blob X.
2. You repack, moving X into the pack.
3. You delete the branch (and its reflog), so that X is
unreferenced.
4. You "git add" blob X so that it is now referenced only
by the index.
5. You repack again with git-gc. The pack-objects we
invoke will see that X is neither referenced nor
recent and not bother loosening it.

When you resolve a sha1, you can optionally keep any context
found during the resolution, including the path and mode of
a tree entry (e.g., when looking up "HEAD:subdir/file.c").
The add_object_array_with_context function lets you then
attach that context to an entry in a list. Unfortunately,
the interface for doing so is horrible. The object_context
structure is large and most object_array users do not use
it. Therefore we keep a pointer to the structure to avoid
burdening other users too much. But that means when we do
use it that we must allocate the struct ourselves. And the
struct contains a fixed PATH_MAX-sized buffer, which makes
this wholly unsuitable for any large arrays.
We can observe that there is only a single user of the
"with_context" variant: builtin/grep.c. And in that use
case, the only element we care about is the path. We can
therefore store only the path as a pointer (the context's
mode field was redundant with the object_array_entry itself,
and nobody actually cared about the surrounding tree). This
still requires a strdup of the pathname, but at least we are
only consuming the minimum amount of memory for each string.
We can also handle the copying ourselves in
add_object_array_*, and free it as appropriate in
object_array_release_entry.

A recent commit taught git-prune to keep non-recent objects
that are reachable from recent ones. However, pack-objects,
when loosening unreachable objects, tries to optimize out
the write in the case that the object will be immediately
pruned. It now gets this wrong, since its rule does not
reflect the new prune code (and this can be seen by running
t6501 with a strategically placed repack).
Let's teach pack-objects similar logic.

When we are loosening unreachable packed objects, we do not
bother to process objects that would simply be pruned
immediately anyway. The "would be pruned" check is a simple
comparison, but is about to get more complicated. Let's pull
it out into a separate function.
Note that this is slightly less efficient than the original,
which avoided even opening old packs, since no object in
them could pass the current check, which cares only about
the pack mtime. But the new rules will depend on the exact
object, so we need to perform the check even for old packs.
Note also that we fix a minor buglet when the pack mtime is
exactly the same as the expiration time. The prune code
considers that worth pruning, whereas our check here
considered it worth keeping. This wasn't a big deal. Besides
being unlikely to happen, the result was simply that the
object was loosened and then pruned, missing the
optimization. Still, we can easily fix it while we are here.

Our current strategy with prune is that an object falls into
one of three categories:
1. Reachable (from ref tips, reflogs, index, etc).
2. Not reachable, but recent (based on the --expire time).
3. Not reachable and not recent.
We keep objects from (1) and (2), but prune objects in (3).
The point of (2) is that these objects may be part of an
in-progress operation that has not yet updated any refs.
However, it is not always the case that objects for an
in-progress operation will have a recent mtime. For example,
the object database may have an old copy of a blob (from an
abandoned operation, a branch that was deleted, etc). If we
create a new tree that points to it, a simultaneous prune
will leave our tree, but delete the blob. Referencing that
tree with a commit will then work (we check that the tree is
in the object database, but not that all of its referred
objects are), as will mentioning the commit in a ref. But
the resulting repo is corrupt; we are missing the blob
reachable from a ref.
One way to solve this is to be more thorough when
referencing a sha1: make sure that not only do we have that
sha1, but that we have objects it refers to, and so forth
recursively. The problem is that this is very expensive.
Creating a parent link would require traversing the entire
object graph!
Instead, this patch pushes the extra work onto prune, which
runs less frequently (and has to look at the whole object
graph anyway). It creates a new category of objects: objects
which are not recent, but which are reachable from a recent
object. We do not prune these objects, just like the
reachable and recent ones.
This lets us avoid the recursive check above, because if we
have an object, even if it is unreachable, we should have
its referent. We can make a simple inductive argument that
with this patch, this property holds (that there are no
objects with missing referents in the repository):
0. When we have no objects, we have nothing to refer or be
referred to, so the property holds.
1. If we add objects to the repository, their direct
referents must generally exist (e.g., if you create a
tree, the blobs it references must exist; if you create
a commit to point at the tree, the tree must exist).
This is already the case before this patch. And it is
not 100% foolproof (you can make bogus objects using
`git hash-object`, for example), but it should be the
case for normal usage.
Therefore for any sequence of object additions, the
property will continue to hold.
2. If we remove objects from the repository, then we will
not remove a child object (like a blob) if an object
that refers to it is being kept. That is the part
implemented by this patch.
Note, however, that our reachability check and the
actual pruning are not atomic. So it _is_ still
possible to violate the property (e.g., an object
becomes referenced just as we are deleting it). This
patch is shooting for eliminating problems where the
mtimes of dependent objects differ by hours or days,
and one is dropped without the other. It does nothing
to help with short races.
Naively, the simplest way to implement this would be to add
all recent objects as tips to the reachability traversal.
However, this does not perform well. In a recently-packed
repository, all reachable objects will also be recent, and
therefore we have to look at each object twice. This patch
instead performs the reachability traversal, then follows up
with a second traversal for recent objects, skipping any
that have already been marked.

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.

While use of the --reference option to borrow objects from an
existing local repository of the same project is an effective way to
reduce traffic when cloning a project over the network, it makes the
resulting "borrowing" repository dependent on the "borrowed"
repository. After running
git clone --reference=P $URL Q
the resulting repository Q will be broken if the borrowed repository
P disappears.
The way to allow the borrowed repository to be removed is to repack
the borrowing repository (i.e. run "git repack -a -d" in Q); while
power users may know it very well, it is not easily discoverable.

$ git branch -D master.....@\*@\\.

Users cannot recover from a badly named ref without manually finding

Making that easier will make it easier to tweak the ref naming rules

So allow "branch --list" to show these refs and allow "branch -d/-D"

In resolving functions, refuse to resolve refs that don't pass the

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_]*).

When "git branch -d" reads the branch it is about to delete, it used
to avoid passing the RESOLVE_REF_READING ('treat missing ref as

if a ref is actually missing, we then check
- is it a symref?
- if not, did it resolve to null_sha1?

Originally the color-parsing function was used only for
config variables. It made sense to pass the variable name so
that the die() message could be something like:
$ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch
fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'color.branch.plain'
These days we call it in other contexts, and the resulting
error messages are a little confusing:
$ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)'
fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable '--pretty format'
$ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus
fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'command line'
This patch teaches color_parse to complain only about the
value, and then return an error code. Config callers can
then propagate that up to the config parser, which mentions
the variable name. Other callers can provide a custom
message. After this patch these three cases now look like:
$ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch

$ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)'

Many config-parsing helpers, like parse_branch_color_slot,
take the name of a config variable and an offset to the
"slot" name (e.g., "color.branch.plain" is passed along with
"13" to effectively pass "plain"). This is leftover from the
time that these functions would die() on error, and would
want the full variable name for error reporting.
These days they do not use the full variable name at all.
Passing a single pointer to the slot name is more natural,
and lets us more easily adjust the callers to use skip_prefix
to avoid manually writing offset numbers.
This is effectively a continuation of 9e1a5eb, which did the

For now, we still make sure to allocate at least PATH_MAX characters

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 we run `branch --merged`, we use prepare_revision_walk
with the merge-filter marked as UNINTERESTING. Any branch
tips that are marked UNINTERESTING after it returns must be
ancestors of that commit. As we iterate through the list of
refs to show, we check item->commit->object.flags to see
whether it was marked.
This interacts badly with --verbose, which will do a
separate walk to find the ahead/behind information for each
branch. There are two bad things that can happen:
1. The ahead/behind walk may get the wrong results,
because it can see a bogus UNINTERESTING flag leftover
from the merge-filter walk.
2. We may omit some branches if their tips are involved in
the ahead/behind traversal of a branch shown earlier.
The ahead/behind walk carefully cleans up its commit
flags, meaning it may also erase the UNINTERESTING
flag that we expect to check later.
We can solve this by moving the merge-filter state for each
ref into its "struct ref_item" as soon as we finish the
merge-filter walk. That fixes (2). Then we are free to clear
the commit flags we used in the walk, fixing (1).
Note that we actually do away with the matches_merge_filter
helper entirely here, and inline it between the revision
walk and the flag-clearing. This ensures that nobody
accidentally calls it at the wrong time (it is only safe to
check in that instant between the setting and clearing of
the global flag).

When operating with the stateless RPC mode, we will receive a nonce
issued by another instance of us that advertised our capability and
refs some time ago. Update the logic to check received nonce to
detect this case, compute how much time has passed since the nonce
was issued and report the status with a new environment variable
GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP to the hooks.
GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS will report "SLOP" in such a case. The
hooks are free to decide how large a slop it is willing to accept.
Strictly speaking, the "nonce" is not really a "nonce" anymore in
the stateless RPC mode, as it will happily take any "nonce" issued
by it (which is protected by HMAC and its secret key) as long as it
is fresh enough. The degree of this security degradation, relative
to the native protocol, is about the same as the "we make sure that
the 'git push' decided to update our refs with new objects based on
the freshest observation of our refs by making sure the values they
claim the original value of the refs they ask us to update exactly
match the current state" security is loosened to accomodate the
stateless RPC mode in the existing code without this series, so
there is no need for those who are already using smart HTTP to push
to their repositories to be alarmed any more than they already are.
In addition, the server operator can set receive.certnonceslop
configuration variable to specify how stale a nonce can be (in
seconds). When this variable is set, and if the nonce received in
the certificate that passes the HMAC check was less than that many
seconds old, hooks are given "OK" in GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS
(instead of "SLOP") and the received nonce value is given in
GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE, which makes it easier for a simple-minded
hook to check if the certificate we received is recent enough.

The "--signed" option received by "git push" is first passed to the
transport layer, which the native transport directly uses to notice
that a push certificate needs to be sent. When the transport-helper
is involved, however, the option needs to be told to the helper with
set_helper_option(), and the helper needs to take necessary action.
For the smart-HTTP helper, the "necessary action" involves spawning
the "git send-pack" subprocess with the "--signed" option.
Once the above all gets wired in, the smart-HTTP transport now can
use the push certificate mechanism to authenticate its pushes.
Add a test that is modeled after tests for the native transport in
t5534-push-signed.sh to t5541-http-push-smart.sh. Update the test
Apache configuration to pass GNUPGHOME environment variable through.
As PassEnv would trigger warnings for an environment variable that
is not set, export it from test-lib.sh set to a harmless value when
GnuPG is not being used in the tests.
Note that the added test is deliberately loose and does not check
the nonce in this step. This is because the stateless RPC mode is
inevitably flaky and a nonce that comes back in the actual push
processing is one issued by a different process; if the two
interactions with the server crossed a second boundary, the nonces
will not match and such a check will fail. A later patch in the
series will work around this shortcoming.

In order to prevent a valid push certificate for pushing into an
repository from getting replayed in a different push operation, send
a nonce string from the receive-pack process and have the signer
include it in the push certificate. The receiving end uses an HMAC
hash of the path to the repository it serves and the current time
stamp, hashed with a secret seed (the secret seed does not have to
be per-repository but can be defined in /etc/gitconfig) to generate
the nonce, in order to ensure that a random third party cannot forge
a nonce that looks like it originated from it.
The original nonce is exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE for the hooks
to examine and match against the value on the "nonce" header in the
certificate to notice a replay, but returned "nonce" header in the
push certificate is examined by receive-pack and the result is
exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS, whose value would be "OK"
if the nonce recorded in the certificate matches what we expect, so
that the hooks can more easily check.

The pre-receive and post-receive hooks were designed to be an
improvement over old style update and post-update hooks, which take
the update information on their command line and are limited by the
command line length limit. The same information is fed from the
standard input to pre/post-receive hooks instead to lift this
limitation. It has been mandatory for these new style hooks to
consume the update information fully from the standard input stream.
Otherwise, they would risk killing the receive-pack process via
SIGPIPE.
If a hook does not want to look at all the information, it is easy
to send its standard input to /dev/null (perhaps a niche use of hook
might need to know only the fact that a push was made, without
having to know what objects have been pushed to update which refs),
and this has already been done by existing hooks that are written
carefully.
However, because there is no good way to consistently fail hooks
that do not consume the input fully (a small push may result in a
short update record that may fit within the pipe buffer, to which
the receive-pack process may manage to write before the hook has a
chance to exit without reading anything, which will not result in a
death-by-SIGPIPE of receive-pack), it can lead to a hard to diagnose
"once in a blue moon" phantom failure.
Lift this "hooks must consume their input fully" mandate. A mandate
that is not enforced strictly is not helping us to catch mistakes in
hooks. If a hook has a good reason to decide the outcome of its
operation without reading the information we feed it, let it do so
as it pleases.

Since commit 81c5cf7 (mailinfo: skip bogus UNIX From line inside

"From" as ">From", as otherwise we would actually mailsplit on the

However, this has false positives if somebody actually has a commit
body that starts with "From "; in this case we erroneously remove
the line entirely from the commit message. We can make this check
more robust by making sure the line actually looks like a real mbox
"From" line.

With the interim protocol, we used to send the update commands even
though we already send a signed copy of the same information when
push certificate is in use. Update the send-pack/receive-pack pair
not to do so.
The notable thing on the receive-pack side is that it makes sure
that there is no command sent over the traditional protocol packet
outside the push certificate. Otherwise a pusher can claim to be
pushing one set of ref updates in the signed certificate while
issuing commands to update unrelated refs, and such an update will
evade later audits.

While signed tags and commits assert that the objects thusly signed
came from you, who signed these objects, there is not a good way to
assert that you wanted to have a particular object at the tip of a
particular branch. My signing v2.0.1 tag only means I want to call
the version v2.0.1, and it does not mean I want to push it out to my
'master' branch---it is likely that I only want it in 'maint', so
the signature on the object alone is insufficient.
The only assurance to you that 'maint' points at what I wanted to
place there comes from your trust on the hosting site and my
authentication with it, which cannot easily audited later.
Introduce a mechanism that allows you to sign a "push certificate"
(for the lack of better name) every time you push, asserting that
what object you are pushing to update which ref that used to point
at what other object. Think of it as a cryptographic protection for
ref updates, similar to signed tags/commits but working on an
orthogonal axis.
The basic flow based on this mechanism goes like this:
1. You push out your work with "git push --signed".
2. The sending side learns where the remote refs are as usual,
together with what protocol extension the receiving end
supports. If the receiving end does not advertise the protocol
extension "push-cert", an attempt to "git push --signed" fails.
Otherwise, a text file, that looks like the following, is
prepared in core:
certificate version 0.1
pusher Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 1315427886 -0700
7339ca65... 21580ecb... refs/heads/master
3793ac56... 12850bec... refs/heads/next
The file begins with a few header lines, which may grow as we
gain more experience. The 'pusher' header records the name of
the signer (the value of user.signingkey configuration variable,
falling back to GIT_COMMITTER_{NAME|EMAIL}) and the time of the
certificate generation. After the header, a blank line follows,
followed by a copy of the protocol message lines.
Each line shows the old and the new object name at the tip of
the ref this push tries to update, in the way identical to how
the underlying "git push" protocol exchange tells the ref
updates to the receiving end (by recording the "old" object
name, the push certificate also protects against replaying). It
is expected that new command packet types other than the
old-new-refname kind will be included in push certificate in the
same way as would appear in the plain vanilla command packets in
unsigned pushes.
The user then is asked to sign this push certificate using GPG,
formatted in a way similar to how signed tag objects are signed,
and the result is sent to the other side (i.e. receive-pack).
In the protocol exchange, this step comes immediately before the
sender tells what the result of the push should be, which in
turn comes before it sends the pack data.
3. When the receiving end sees a push certificate, the certificate
is written out as a blob. The pre-receive hook can learn about
the certificate by checking GIT_PUSH_CERT environment variable,
which, if present, tells the object name of this blob, and make
the decision to allow or reject this push. Additionally, the
post-receive hook can also look at the certificate, which may be
a good place to log all the received certificates for later
audits.
Because a push certificate carry the same information as the usual
command packets in the protocol exchange, we can omit the latter
when a push certificate is in use and reduce the protocol overhead.
This however is not included in this patch to make it easier to
review (in other words, the series at this step should never be
released without the remainder of the series, as it implements an
interim protocol that will be incompatible with the final one).
As such, the documentation update for the protocol is left out of
this step.

Fsck tries hard to detect missing objects, and will complain
(and exit non-zero) about any inter-object links that are
missing. However, it will not exit non-zero for any missing
ref tips, meaning that a severely broken repository may
still pass "git fsck && echo ok".
The problem is that we use for_each_ref to iterate over the
ref tips, which hides broken tips. It does at least print an
error from the refs.c code, but fsck does not ever see the
ref and cannot note the problem in its exit code. We can solve
this by using for_each_rawref and noting the error ourselves.
In addition to adding tests for this case, we add tests for
all types of missing-object links (all of which worked, but
which we were not testing).

This allows "hash-object --stdin" to just hash any garbage into a
"loose object" that may not pass the standard object parsing check
or fsck, so that different kind of corrupt objects we may encounter
in the field can be imitated in our test suite. That would in turn
allow us to test features that catch these corrupt objects.
Note that "cat-file" may need to learn "--literally" option to allow
us peek into a truly broken object.

Most of the knobs that affect helper functions called from
cmd_hash_object() were passed to them as parameters already, and the
only effect of having them as file-scope statics was to make the
reader wonder if the parameters are hiding the file-scope global
values by accident. Adjust their initialisation and make them
function-local variables.
The only exception was no_filters hash_stdin_paths() peeked from the
file-scope global, which was converted to a parameter to the helper
function.

When fsck'ing an incoming pack, we need to fsck objects that cannot be
read via read_sha1_file() because they are not local yet (and might even
be rejected if transfer.fsckobjects is set to 'true').
For commits, there is a hack in place: we basically cache commit
objects' buffers anyway, but the same is not true, say, for tag objects.
By refactoring fsck_object() to take the object buffer and size as
optional arguments -- optional, because we still fall back to the
previous method to look at the cached commit objects if the caller
passes NULL -- we prepare the machinery for the upcoming handling of tag
objects.
The assumption that such buffers are inherently NUL terminated is now
wrong, of course, hence we pass the size of the buffer so that we can
add a sanity check later, to prevent running past the end of the buffer.

saves the reader from having to think about action at a distance,
such as

them
* errors unhandled in one function, to be later handled in another
* concurrency issues, if this code starts using threads some day

Wrap all the ref updates inside a transaction.
In the new API there is no distinction between failure to lock and
failure to write a ref. Both can be permanent (e.g., a ref
"refs/heads/topic" is blocking creation of the lock file
"refs/heads/topic/1.lock") or transient (e.g., file system full) and
there's no clear difference in how the client should respond, so
replace the two statuses "failed to lock" and "failed to write" with
a single status "failed to update ref". In both cases a more
detailed message is sent by sideband to diagnose the problem.
Example, before:
error: there are still refs under 'refs/heads/topic'
remote: error: failed to lock refs/heads/topic
To foo
! [remote rejected] HEAD -> topic (failed to lock)
After:
error: there are still refs under 'refs/heads/topic'
remote: error: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/heads/topic'.
To foo
! [remote rejected] HEAD -> topic (failed to update ref)

Add an err argument to _begin so that on non-fatal failures in future ref
backends we can report a nice error back to the caller.
While _begin can currently never fail for other reasons than OOM, in which
case we die() anyway, we may add other types of backends in the future.
For example, a hypothetical MySQL backend could fail in _begin with
"Can not connect to MySQL server. No route to host".

When we are resolving deltas in an indexed pack, we do it by
first selecting a potential base (either one stored in full
in the pack, or one created by resolving another delta), and
then resolving any deltas that use that base. When we
resolve a particular delta, we flip its "real_type" field
from OBJ_{REF,OFS}_DELTA to whatever the real type is.
We assume that traversing the objects this way will visit
each delta only once. This is correct for most packs; we
visit the delta only when we process its base, and each
object (and thus each base) appears only once. However, if a
base object appears multiple times in the pack, we will try
to resolve any deltas based on it once for each instance.
We can detect this case by noting that a delta we are about
to resolve has already had its real_type field flipped, and
we already do so with an assert(). However, if multiple
threads are in use, we may race with another thread on
comparing and flipping the field. We need to synchronize the
access.
The right mechanism for doing this is a compare-and-swap (we
atomically "claim" the delta for our own and find out
whether our claim was successful). We can implement this
in C by using a pthread mutex to protect the operation. This
is not the fastest way of doing a compare-and-swap; many
processors provide instructions for this, and gcc and other
compilers provide builtins to access them. However, some
experiments showed that lock contention does not cause a
significant slowdown here. Adding c-a-s support for many
compilers would increase the maintenance burden (and we
would still end up including the pthread version as a
fallback).
Note that we only need to touch the OBJ_REF_DELTA codepath
here. An OBJ_OFS_DELTA object points to its base using an
offset, and therefore has only one base, even if another
copy of that base object appears in the pack (we do still
touch it briefly because the setting of real_type is
factored out of resolve_data).
