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.

Long time ago, we used to punt on a large (read: asking for more
than 256 refs) fetch request and instead sent a full pack, because
we couldn't fit many refs on the command line of rev-list we run
internally to enumerate the objects to be sent. To fix this,
565ebbf (upload-pack: tighten request validation., 2005-10-24),
added a check to count the number of refs in the request and matched
with the number of refs we advertised, and changed the invocation of
rev-list to pass "--all" to it, still keeping us under the command
line argument limit.
However, these days we feed the list of objects requested and the
list of objects the other end is known to have via standard input,
so there is no longer a valid reason to special case a full clone
request. Remove the code associated with "create_full_pack" to
simplify the logic.

We mark the objects pointed at our refs with "OUR_REF" flag in two
functions (mark_our_ref() and send_ref()), but we can just use the
former as a helper for the latter.
Update the way mark_our_ref() prepares in-core object to use
lookup_unknown_object() to delay reading the actual object data,
just like we did in 435c833 (upload-pack: use peel_ref for ref

When upload-pack advertises refs, we attempt to peel tags
and advertise the peeled version. We currently hand-roll the
tag dereferencing, and use as many optimizations as we can
to avoid loading non-tag objects into memory.
Not only has peel_ref recently learned these optimizations,
too, but it also contains an even more important one: it
has access to the "peeled" data from the pack-refs file.
That means we can avoid not only loading annotated tags
entirely, but also avoid doing any kind of object lookup at
all.
This cut the CPU time to advertise refs by 50% in the
linux-2.6 repo, as measured by:
echo 0000 | git-upload-pack . >/dev/null
best-of-five, warm cache, objects and refs fully packed:
[before] [after]
real 0m0.026s real 0m0.013s
user 0m0.024s user 0m0.008s
sys 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s
Those numbers are irrelevantly small compared to an actual
fetch. Here's a larger repo (400K refs, of which 12K are
unique, and of which only 107 are unique annotated tags):
[before] [after]
real 0m0.704s real 0m0.596s
user 0m0.600s user 0m0.496s
sys 0m0.096s sys 0m0.092s
This shows only a 15% speedup (mostly because it has fewer
actual tags to parse), but a larger absolute value (100ms,
which isn't a lot compared to a real fetch, but this
advertisement happens on every fetch, even if the client is
just finding out they are completely up to date).
In truly pathological cases, where you have a large number
of unique annotated tags, it can make an even bigger
difference. Here are the numbers for a linux-2.6 repository
that has had every seventh commit tagged (so about 50K
tags):
[before] [after]
real 0m0.443s real 0m0.097s
user 0m0.416s user 0m0.080s

Instead of having the client advertise a particular version
number in the git protocol, we have managed extensions and
backwards compatibility by having clients and servers
advertise capabilities that they support. This is far more
robust than having each side consult a table of
known versions, and provides sufficient information for the
protocol interaction to complete.
However, it does not allow servers to keep statistics on
which client versions are being used. This information is
not necessary to complete the network request (the
capabilities provide enough information for that), but it
may be helpful to conduct a general survey of client
versions in use.
We already send the client version in the user-agent header
for http requests; adding it here allows us to gather
similar statistics for non-http requests.

We have been carefully choosing feature names used in the protocol
extensions so that the vocabulary does not contain a word that is a
substring of another word, so it is not a real problem, but we have
recently added "quiet" feature word, which would mean we cannot later
add some other word with "quiet" (e.g. "quiet-push"), which is awkward.
Let's make sure that we can eventually be able to do so by teaching the
clients and servers that feature words consist of non whitespace
letters. This parser also allows us to later add features with parameters
e.g. "feature=1.5" (parameter values need to be quoted for whitespaces,
but we will worry about the detauls when we do introduce them).

When upload-pack advertises refs, it dereferences any tags
it sees, and shows the resulting sha1 to the client. It does
this by calling deref_tag. That function must load and parse
each tag object to find the sha1 of the tagged object.
However, it also ends up parsing the tagged object itself,
which is not strictly necessary for upload-pack's use.
Each tag produces two object loads (assuming it is not a
recursive tag), when it could get away with only a single
one. Dropping the second load halves the effort we spend.
The downside is that we are no longer verifying the
resulting object by loading it. In particular:
1. We never cross-check the "type" field given in the tag
object with the type of the pointed-to object. If the
tag says it points to a tag but doesn't, then we will
keep peeling and realize the error. If the tag says it
points to a non-tag but actually points to a tag, we
will stop peeling and just advertise the pointed-to
tag.
2. If we are missing the pointed-to object, we will not
realize (because we never even look it up in the object
db).
However, both of these are errors in the object database,
and both will be detected if a client actually requests the
broken objects in question. So we are simply pushing the
verification away from the advertising stage, and down to
the actual fetching stage.
On my test repo with 120K refs, this drops the time to
advertise the refs from ~3.2s to ~2.0s.

When we advertise a ref, the first thing we do is parse the
pointed-to object. This gives us two things:
1. a "struct object" we can use to store flags
2. the type of the object, so we know whether we need to
dereference it as a tag
Instead, we can just use lookup_unknown_object to get an
object struct, and then fill in just the type field using
sha1_object_info (which, in the case of packed files, can
find the information without actually inflating the object
data).
This can save time if you have a large number of refs, and
the client isn't actually going to request those refs (e.g.,
because most of them are already up-to-date).
The downside is that we are no longer verifying objects that
we advertise by fully parsing them (however, we do still
know we actually have them, because sha1_object_info must
find them to get the type). While we might fail to detect a
corrupt object here, if the client actually fetches the
object, we will parse (and verify) it then.
On a repository with 120K refs, the advertisement portion of
upload-pack goes from ~3.4s to 3.2s (the failure to speed up
more is largely due to the fact that most of these refs are
tags, which need dereferenced to find the tag destination
anyway).

Change the skeleton implementation of i18n in Git to one that can show
localized strings to users for our C, Shell and Perl programs using
either GNU libintl or the Solaris gettext implementation.
This new internationalization support is enabled by default. If
gettext isn't available, or if Git is compiled with
NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease, Git falls back on its current behavior of
showing interface messages in English. When using the autoconf script
we'll auto-detect if the gettext libraries are installed and act
appropriately.
This change is somewhat large because as well as adding a C, Shell and
Perl i18n interface we're adding a lot of tests for them, and for
those tests to work we need a skeleton PO file to actually test
translations. A minimal Icelandic translation is included for this
purpose. Icelandic includes multi-byte characters which makes it easy
to test various edge cases, and it's a language I happen to
understand.
The rest of the commit message goes into detail about various
sub-parts of this commit.
= Installation
Gettext .mo files will be installed and looked for in the standard
$(prefix)/share/locale path. GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR can also be set to
override that, but that's only intended to be used to test Git itself.
= Perl
Perl code that's to be localized should use the new Git::I18n
module. It imports a __ function into the caller's package by default.
Instead of using the high level Locale::TextDomain interface I've
opted to use the low-level (equivalent to the C interface)
Locale::Messages module, which Locale::TextDomain itself uses.
Locale::TextDomain does a lot of redundant work we don't need, and
some of it would potentially introduce bugs. It tries to set the
$TEXTDOMAIN based on package of the caller, and has its own
hardcoded paths where it'll search for messages.
I found it easier just to completely avoid it rather than try to
circumvent its behavior. In any case, this is an issue wholly
internal Git::I18N. Its guts can be changed later if that's deemed
necessary.
See <AANLkTilYD_NyIZMyj9dHtVk-ylVBfvyxpCC7982LWnVd@mail.gmail.com> for
a further elaboration on this topic.
= Shell
Shell code that's to be localized should use the git-sh-i18n
library. It's basically just a wrapper for the system's gettext.sh.
If gettext.sh isn't available we'll fall back on gettext(1) if it's
available. The latter is available without the former on Solaris,
which has its own non-GNU gettext implementation. We also need to
emulate eval_gettext() there.
If neither are present we'll use a dumb printf(1) fall-through
wrapper.
= About libcharset.h and langinfo.h
We use libcharset to query the character set of the current locale if
it's available. I.e. we'll use it instead of nl_langinfo if
HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H is set.
The GNU gettext manual recommends using langinfo.h's
nl_langinfo(CODESET) to acquire the current character set, but on
systems that have libcharset.h's locale_charset() using the latter is
either saner, or the only option on those systems.
GNU and Solaris have a nl_langinfo(CODESET), FreeBSD can use either,
but MinGW and some others need to use libcharset.h's locale_charset()
instead.

A request to fetch from a client over smart HTTP protocol is served in
multiple steps. In the first round, the server side shows the set of refs
it has and their values, and the client picks from them and sends "I want
to fetch the history leading to these commits".
When the server tries to respond to this second request, its refs may have
progressed by a push from elsewhere. By design, we do not allow fetching
objects that are not at the tip of an advertised ref, and the server
rejects such a request. The client needs to try again, which is not ideal
especially for a busy server.
Teach upload-pack (which is the workhorse driven by git-daemon and smart
http server interface) that it is OK for a smart-http client to ask for
commits that are not at the tip of any advertised ref, as long as they are
reachable from advertised refs.

Change upload-pack and receive-pack to use the namespace-prefixed refs
when working with the repository, and use the unprefixed refs when
talking to the client, maintaining the masquerade. This allows
clone, pull, fetch, and push to work with a suitably configured
GIT_NAMESPACE.
receive-pack advertises refs outside the current namespace as .have refs
(as it currently does for refs in alternates), so that the client can
use them to minimize data transfer but will otherwise ignore them.
With appropriate configuration, this also allows http-backend to expose
namespaces as multiple repositories with different paths. This only
requires setting GIT_NAMESPACE, which http-backend passes through to
upload-pack and receive-pack.

In a pthread-enabled version of upload-pack, there's a race condition
that can cause a deadlock on the fflush(NULL) we call from run-command.
What happens is this:
1. Upload-pack is informed we are doing a shallow clone.
2. We call start_async() to spawn a thread that will generate rev-list
results to feed to pack-objects. It gets a file descriptor to a
pipe which will eventually hook to pack-objects.
3. The rev-list thread uses fdopen to create a new output stream
around the fd we gave it, called pack_pipe.
4. The thread writes results to pack_pipe. Outside of our control,
libc is doing locking on the stream. We keep writing until the OS
pipe buffer is full, and then we block in write(), still holding
the lock.
5. The main thread now uses start_command to spawn pack-objects.
Before forking, it calls fflush(NULL) to flush every stdio output
buffer. It blocks trying to get the lock on pack_pipe.
And we have a deadlock. The thread will block until somebody starts
reading from the pipe. But nobody will read from the pipe until we
finish flushing to the pipe.
To fix this, we swap the start order: we start the
pack-objects reader first, and then the rev-list writer
after. Thus the problematic fflush(NULL) happens before we
even open the new file descriptor (and even if it didn't,
flushing should no longer block, as the reader at the end of
the pipe is now active).

capability, 2011-03-14) it seems to make the fetch-pack process out of
sync and makes it keep talking long after upload-pack stopped listening to
it, terminating the process with SIGPIPE.
If the client requests both multi_ack_detailed and no-done then
upload-pack is free to immediately send a PACK following its first
'ACK %s ready' message. The upload-pack response actually winds
up being:
ACK %s common
... (maybe more) ...
ACK %s ready
NAK
ACK %s
PACK.... the pack stream ....
For smart HTTP connections this saves one HTTP RPC, reducing
the overall latency for a trivial fetch. For git:// and ssh://
a no-done option slightly reduces latency by removing one
server->client->server round-trip at the end of the common
ancestor negotiation.

If a client is merely following the remote (and has not made any
new commits itself), all "have %s" lines sent by the client will be
common to the server. As all lines are common upload-pack never
calls ok_to_give_up() and does not compute if it has a good cut
point in the commit graph.
Without this computation the following client is going to send all
tagged commits, as these were determined to be COMMON_REF during the
initial advertisement, but the client does not parse their history
to transitively pass the COMMON flag and empty its queue of commits.
For git.git with 339 commit tags, it takes clients 11 rounds of
negotation to fully send all tagged commits and exhaust its queue
of things to send as common. This is pretty slow for a client that
has not done any local development activity.
Force computing ok_to_give_up() and send "ACK %s ready" at the end
of the current round if this round only contained common objects
and ok_to_give_up() was therefore not called. This may allow the
client to break early, avoiding transmission of the COMMON_REFs.

This shows a trace of all packets coming in or out of a given
program. This can help with debugging object negotiation or
other protocol issues.
To keep the code changes simple, we operate at the lowest
level, meaning we don't necessarily understand what's in the
packets. The one exception is a packet starting with "PACK",
which causes us to skip that packet and turn off tracing
(since the gigantic pack data will not be interesting to
read, at least not in the trace format).
We show both written and read packets. In the local case,
this may mean you will see packets twice (written by the
sender and read by the receiver). However, for cases where
the other end is remote, this allows you to see the full

This patch adds the possibility to supply a set of non-0 file

Additionally, we now support bi-directional communiction with the
async procedure, by giving the async function both read and write
file descriptors.
To retain compatiblity and similar "API feel" with start_command,
we require start_async callers to set .out = -1 to get a readable
file descriptor. If either of .in or .out is 0, we supply no file
descriptor to the async process.

In theory it is possible for sideband channel #2 to be delayed if
pack data is quick to come up for sideband channel #1. And because
data for channel #2 is read only 128 bytes at a time while pack data
is read 8192 bytes at a time, it is possible for many pack blocks to
be sent to the client before the progress message fifo is emptied,
making the situation even worse. This would result in totally garbled
progress display on the client's console as local progress gets mixed
with partial remote progress lines.
Let's prevent such situations by giving transmission priority to
progress messages over pack data at all times.

This fits with the HTTP POST request processing model where a

When --advertise-refs is passed as a command line parameter only
the initial ref advertisement is output, and the program exits

When multi_ack_detailed is enabled the ACK continue messages returned
by the remote upload-pack are broken out to describe the different
states within the peer. This permits the client to better understand
the server's in-memory state.
The fetch-pack/upload-pack protocol now looks like:
NAK
---------------------------------
Always sent in response to "done" if there was no common base
selected from the "have" lines (or no have lines were sent).
* no multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed:
Sent when the client has sent a pkt-line flush ("0000") and
the server has not yet found a common base object.
* either multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed:
Always sent in response to a pkt-line flush.
ACK %s
-----------------------------------
* no multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed:
Sent in response to "have" when the object exists on the remote
side and is therefore an object in common between the peers.
The argument is the SHA-1 of the common object.
* either multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed:
Sent in response to "done" if there are common objects.
The argument is the last SHA-1 determined to be common.
ACK %s continue
-----------------------------------
* multi_ack only:
Sent in response to "have".
The remote side wants the client to consider this object as
common, and immediately stop transmitting additional "have"
lines for objects that are reachable from it. The reason
the client should stop is not given, but is one of the two
cases below available under multi_ack_detailed.
ACK %s common
-----------------------------------
* multi_ack_detailed only:
Sent in response to "have". Both sides have this object.
Like with "ACK %s continue" above the client should stop
sending have lines reachable for objects from the argument.
ACK %s ready
-----------------------------------
* multi_ack_detailed only:
Sent in response to "have".
The client should stop transmitting objects which are reachable
from the argument, and send "done" soon to get the objects.
If the remote side has the specified object, it should
first send an "ACK %s common" message prior to sending
"ACK %s ready".
Clients may still submit additional "have" lines if there are
more side branches for the client to explore that might be added
to the common set and reduce the number of objects to transfer.

In 2d14d65 (Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers,
2009-09-03) I happened to notice two changes like this:
- write_in_full(helper->in, "list\n", 5);
+
+ strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
+ write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
+ strbuf_reset(&buf);
IMHO, it would be better to define a new function,
static inline ssize_t write_str_in_full(int fd, const char *str)
{
return write_in_full(fd, str, strlen(str));
}
and then use it like this:
- strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
- write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
- strbuf_reset(&buf);
+ write_str_in_full(helper->in, "list\n");
Thus not requiring the added allocation, and still avoiding
the maintenance risk of literal string lengths.
These days, compilers are good enough that strlen("literal")
imposes no run-time cost.
Transformed via this:
perl -pi -e \
's/write_in_full\((.*?), (".*?"), \d+\)/write_str_in_full($1, $2)/'\
$(git grep -l 'write_in_full.*"')

First of all, I can't find any reason why thin pack generation is
explicitly disabled when dealing with a shallow repository. The
possible delta base objects are collected from the edge commits which
are always obtained through history walking with the same shallow refs
as the client, Therefore the client is always going to have those base
objects available. So let's remove that restriction.
Then we can make shallow repository deepening much more efficient by
using the remote's unshallowed commits as edge commits to get preferred
base objects for thin pack generation. On git.git, this makes the data
transfer for the deepening of a shallow repository from depth 1 to depth 2
around 134 KB instead of 3.68 MB.
