refs: speed up is_refname_available
Our filesystem ref storage does not allow D/F conflicts; so
if "refs/heads/a/b" exists, we do not allow "refs/heads/a"
to exist (and vice versa). This falls out naturally for
loose refs, where the filesystem enforces the condition. But
for packed-refs, we have to make the check ourselves.
We do so by iterating over the entire packed-refs namespace
and checking whether each name creates a conflict. If you
have a very large number of refs, this is quite inefficient,
as you end up doing a large number of comparisons with
uninteresting bits of the ref tree (e.g., we know that all
of "refs/tags" is uninteresting in the example above, yet we
check each entry in it).
Instead, let's take advantage of the fact that we have the
packed refs stored as a trie of ref_entry structs. We can
find each component of the proposed refname as we walk
through the trie, checking for D/F conflicts as we go. For a
refname of depth N (i.e., 4 in the above example), we only
have to visit N nodes. And at each visit, we can binary
search the M names at that level, for a total complexity of
O(N lg M). ("M" is different at each level, of course, but
we can take the worst-case "M" as a bound).
In a pathological case of fetching 30,000 fresh refs into a
repository with 8.5 million refs, this dropped the time to
run "git fetch" from tens of minutes to ~30s.
This may also help smaller cases in which we check against
loose refs (which we do when renaming a ref), as we may
avoid a disk access for unrelated loose directories.
Note that the tests we add appear at first glance to be
redundant with what is already in t3210. However, the early
tests are not robust; they are run with reflogs turned on,
meaning that we are not actually testing
is_refname_available at all! The operations will still fail
because the reflogs will hit D/F conflicts in the
filesystem. To get a true test, we must turn off reflogs
(but we don't want to do so for the entire script, because
the point of turning them on was to cover some other cases).
