Version appends a hash ID to the file header, making it slightly larger.
This commit also changes "SHA-1" into "object ID" in many places.

The format allows for some ambiguity, as a lone footer also starts
with a valid file header. However, the current JGit code will barf on
this. This commit codifies this behavior into the standard.

Shawn Pearce explains:
Some repositories contain a lot of references (e.g. android at 866k,
rails at 31k). The reftable format provides:
- Near constant time lookup for any single reference, even when the
repository is cold and not in process or kernel cache.
- Near constant time verification if a SHA-1 is referred to by at least
one reference (for allow-tip-sha1-in-want).
- Efficient lookup of an entire namespace, such as `refs/tags/`.
- Support atomic push `O(size_of_update)` operations.
- Combine reflog storage with ref storage.
This file format spec was originally written in July, 2017 by Shawn
Pearce. Some refinements since then were made by Shawn and by Han-Wen
Nienhuys based on experiences implementing and experimenting with the
format. (All of this was in the context of our work at Google and
Google is happy to contribute the result to the Git project.)
Imported from JGit[1]'s current version (c217d33ff,
"Documentation/technical/reftable: improve repo layout", 2020-02-04)
of Documentation/technical/reftable.md and converted to asciidoc by
running
pandoc -t asciidoc -f markdown reftable.md >reftable.txt
using pandoc 2.2.1. The result required the following additional
minor changes:
- removed the [TOC] directive to add a table of contents, since
asciidoc does not support it
- replaced git-scm.com/docs links with linkgit: directives that link
to other pages within Git's documentation

There are multiple repositories in the wild with random, invalid
timezones. Most notably is a commit from rails.git with a timezone of
"+051800"[1]. A few searches will find other repos with that same
invalid timezone as well. Further, Peff reports that GitHub relaxed
their fsck checks in August 2011 to accept any timezone value[2], and
there have been multiple reports to filter-repo about fast-import
crashing while trying to import their existing repositories since they
had timezone values such as "-7349423" and "-43455309"[3].
The existing check on timezone values inside fast-import may prove
useful for people who are crafting fast-import input by hand or with a
new script. For them, the check may help them avoid accidentally
recording invalid dates. (Note that this check is rather simplistic and
there are still several forms of invalid dates that fast-import does not
check for: dates in the future, timezone values with minutes that are
not divisible by 15, and timezone values with minutes that are 60 or
greater.) While this simple check may have some value for those users,
other users or tools will want to import existing repositories as-is.
Provide a --date-format=raw-permissive format that will not error out on
these otherwise invalid timezones so that such existing repositories can
be imported.

gitfaq: avoid validation error with older asciidoc
|

The explanation of the `--show-pulls` option added in commit 8d049e182e
("revision: --show-pulls adds helpful merges", 2020-04-10) consists of
several paragraphs and we use "+" throughout to tie them together in one
long chain of list continuations. Only thing is, we're not in any kind
of list, so these pluses end up being rendered literally.
The preceding few paragraphs describe `--ancestry-path` and there we
*do* have a list, since we've started one with `--ancestry-path::`. In
fact, we have several such lists for all the various history-simplifying
options we're discussing earlier in this file.
Thus, we're missing a list both from a consistency point of view and
from a practical rendering standpoint.
Let's start a list for `--show-pulls` where we start actually discussing
the option, and keep the paragraphs preceding it out of that list. That
is, drop all those pluses before the new list we're adding here.

Currently, remote-curl acts as a proxy and blindly forwards packets
between an HTTP server and fetch-pack. In the case of a stateless RPC
connection where the connection is terminated before the transaction is
complete, remote-curl will blindly forward the packets before waiting on
more input from fetch-pack. Meanwhile, fetch-pack will read the
transaction and continue reading, expecting more input to continue the
transaction. This results in a deadlock between the two processes.
This can be seen in the following command which does not terminate:
$ git -c protocol.version=2 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012
Cloning into 'git'...
whereas the v1 version does terminate as expected:
$ git -c protocol.version=1 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012
Cloning into 'git'...
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
Instead of blindly forwarding packets, make remote-curl insert a
response end packet after proxying the responses from the remote server
when using stateless_connect(). On the RPC client side, ensure that each
response ends as described.
A separate control packet is chosen because we need to be able to
differentiate between what the remote server sends and remote-curl's
control packets. By ensuring in the remote-curl code that a server
cannot send response end packets, we prevent a malicious server from
being able to perform a denial of service attack in which they spoof a
response end packet and cause the described deadlock to happen.

Git 2.26 used protocol v2 as its default protocol, but soon after
release, users noticed that the protocol v2 negotiation code was prone
to fail when fetching from some remotes that are far ahead of others
(such as linux-next.git versus Linus's linux.git). That has been
fixed by 0b07eecf6ed (Merge branch 'jt/v2-fetch-nego-fix',
2020-05-01), but to be cautious, we are using protocol v0 as the
default in 2.27 to buy some time for any other unanticipated issues to
surface.
To that end, let's ensure that users requesting the bleeding edge
using the feature.experimental flag *do* get protocol v2. This way,
we can gain experience with a wider audience for the new protocol
version and be more confident when it is time to enable it by default
for all users in some future Git version.
Implementation note: this isn't with the rest of the
feature.experimental options in repo-settings.c because those are tied
to a repository object, whereas this code path is used for operations
like "git ls-remote" that do not require a repository.

Since 7c5c9b9c57 (commit-graph: error out on invalid commit oids in
'write --stdin-commits', 2019-08-05), the commit-graph builtin dies on
receiving non-commit OIDs as input to '--stdin-commits'.
This behavior can be cumbersome to work around in, say, the case of
piping 'git for-each-ref' to 'git commit-graph write --stdin-commits' if
the caller does not want to cull out non-commits themselves. In this
situation, it would be ideal if 'git commit-graph write' wrote the graph
containing the inputs that did pertain to commits, and silently ignored
the remainder of the input.
Some options have been proposed to the effect of '--[no-]check-oids'
which would allow callers to have the commit-graph builtin do just that.
After some discussion, it is difficult to imagine a caller who wouldn't
want to pass '--no-check-oids', suggesting that we should get rid of the
behavior of complaining about non-commit inputs altogether.
If callers do wish to retain this behavior, they can easily work around
this change by doing the following:
git for-each-ref --format='%(objectname) %(objecttype) %(*objecttype)' |
awk '
!/commit/ { print "not-a-commit:"$1 }
/commit/ { print $1 }
' |
git commit-graph write --stdin-commits
To make it so that valid OIDs that refer to non-existent objects are
indeed an error after loosening the error handling, perform an extra
lookup to make sure that object indeed exists before sending it to the
commit-graph internals.

Whenever GIT_CURL_VERBOSE is set, teach Git to behave as if
GIT_TRACE_CURL=1 and GIT_TRACE_CURL_NO_DATA=1 is set, instead of setting
CURLOPT_VERBOSE.
This is to prevent inadvertent revelation of sensitive data. In
particular, GIT_CURL_VERBOSE redacts neither the "Authorization" header
nor any cookies specified by GIT_REDACT_COOKIES.
Unifying the tracing mechanism also has the future benefit that any
improvements to the tracing mechanism will benefit both users of
GIT_CURL_VERBOSE and GIT_TRACE_CURL, and we do not need to remember to
implement any improvement twice.
