In the Git pack protocol definition, an error packet may appear only in
a certain context. However, servers can face a runtime error (e.g. I/O
error) at an arbitrary timing. This patch changes the protocol to allow
an error packet to be sent instead of any packet.
Without this protocol spec change, when a server cannot process a
request, there's no way to tell that to a client. Since the server
cannot produce a valid response, it would be forced to cut a connection
without telling why. With this protocol spec change, the server can be
more gentle in this situation. An old client may see these error packets
as an unexpected packet, but this is not worse than having an unexpected
EOF.
Following this protocol spec change, the error packet handling code is
moved to pkt-line.c. Implementation wise, this implementation uses
pkt-line to communicate with a subprocess. Since this is not a part of
Git protocol, it's possible that a packet that is not supposed to be an
error packet is mistakenly parsed as an error packet. This error packet
handling is enabled only for the Git pack protocol parsing code
considering this.

By using and sharing a packet_reader while handling a Git pack protocol
request, the same reader option is used throughout the code. This makes
it easy to set a reader option to the request parsing code.

The receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead codepath kicked in even
when the push should have been rejected due to other reasons, such
as it does not fast-forward or the update-hook rejects it, which
has been corrected.
* jc/receive-deny-current-branch-fix:
receive: denyCurrentBranch=updateinstead should not blindly update
|
|
The handling of receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead was added to
a switch statement that handles other values of the variable, but
all the other case arms only checked a condition to reject the
attempted push, or let later logic in the same function to still
intervene, so that a push that does not fast-forward (which is
checked after the switch statement in question) is still rejected.
But the handling of updateInstead incorrectly took immediate effect,
without giving other checks a chance to intervene.
Instead of calling update_worktree() that causes the side effect
immediately, just note the fact that we will need to call the
function later, and first give other checks a chance to reject the
request. After the update-hook gets a chance to reject the push
(which happens as the last step in a series of checks), call
update_worktree() when we earlier detected the need to.

When pushing into a repository that borrows its objects from an
alternate object store, "git receive-pack" that responds to the
push request on the other side lists the tips of refs in the
alternate to reduce the amount of objects transferred. This
sometimes is detrimental when the number of refs in the alternate
is absurdly large, in which case the bandwidth saved in potentially
fewer objects transferred is wasted in excessively large ref
advertisement. The alternate refs that are advertised are now
configurable with a pair of configuration variables.
* tb/filter-alternate-refs:
transport.c: introduce core.alternateRefsPrefixes

None of the current callers use the refname parameter we pass to their
callbacks. In theory somebody _could_ do so, but it's actually quite
weird if you think about it: it's a ref in somebody else's repository.
So the name has no meaning locally, and in fact there may be duplicates
if there are multiple alternates.
The users of this interface really only care about seeing some ref tips,
since that promises that the alternate has the full commit graph
reachable from there. So let's keep the information we pass back to the
bare minimum.

Using the more restrictive oideq() should, in the long run,
give the compiler more opportunities to optimize these
callsites. For now, this conversion should be a complete
noop with respect to the generated code.
The result is also perhaps a little more readable, as it
avoids the "zero is equal" idiom. Since it's so prevalent in
C, I think seasoned programmers tend not to even notice it
anymore, but it can sometimes make for awkward double
negations (e.g., we can drop a few !!oidcmp() instances
here).
This patch was generated almost entirely by the included
coccinelle patch. This mechanical conversion should be
completely safe, because we check explicitly for cases where
oidcmp() is compared to 0, which is what oideq() is doing
under the hood. Note that we don't have to catch "!oidcmp()"
separately; coccinelle's standard isomorphisms make sure the
two are treated equivalently.
I say "almost" because I did hand-edit the coccinelle output
to fix up a few style violations (it mostly keeps the
original formatting, but sometimes unwraps long lines).

This should make these functions easier to find and cache.h less
overwhelming to read.
In particular, this moves:
- read_object_file
- oid_object_info
- write_object_file
As a result, most of the codebase needs to #include object-store.h.
In this patch the #include is only added to files that would fail to
compile otherwise. It would be better to #include wherever
identifiers from the header are used. That can happen later
when we have better tooling for it.

Placing `struct lock_file`s on the stack used to be a bad idea, because
the temp- and lockfile-machinery would keep a pointer into the struct.
But after 076aa2cbd (tempfile: auto-allocate tempfiles on heap,
2017-09-05), we can safely have lockfiles on the stack. (This applies
even if a user returns early, leaving a locked lock behind.)
These `struct lock_file`s are local to their respective functions and we
can drop their staticness.
For good measure, I have inspected these sites and come to believe that
they always release the lock, with the possible exception of bailing out
using `die()` or `exit()` or by returning from a `cmd_foo()`.
As pointed out by Jeff King, it would be bad if someone held on to a
`struct lock_file *` for some reason. After some grepping, I agree with
his findings: no-one appears to be doing that.

In d8193743e08 (usage.c: add BUG() function, 2017-05-12), a new macro
was introduced to use for reporting bugs instead of die(). It was then
subsequently used to convert one single caller in 588a538ae55
(setup_git_env: convert die("BUG") to BUG(), 2017-05-12).
The cover letter of the patch series containing this patch
(cf 20170513032414.mfrwabt4hovujde2@sigill.intra.peff.net) is not
terribly clear why only one call site was converted, or what the plan
is for other, similar calls to die() to report bugs.
Let's just convert all remaining ones in one fell swoop.
This trick was performed by this invocation:

Use the GIT_SHA1_RAWSZ and GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ macros instead of hard-coding
the constants 20 and 40. Switch one use of 20 with a format specifier
for a hex value to use the hex constant instead, as the original appears
to have been a typo.
At this point, avoid converting the hard-coded use of SHA-1 to use
the_hash_algo. SHA-1, even if not collision resistant, is secure in the
context in which it is used here, and the hash algorithm of the repo
need not match what is used here. When we adopt a new hash algorithm,
we can simply adopt the new algorithm wholesale here, as the nonce is
opaque and its length and validity are entirely controlled by the
server. Consequently, defer updating this code until that point.

The return value of write_in_full() is either "-1", or the
requested number of bytes[1]. If we make a partial write
before seeing an error, we still return -1, not a partial
value. This goes back to f6aa66cb95 (write_in_full: really
write in full or return error on disk full., 2007-01-11).
So checking anything except "was the return value negative"
is pointless. And there are a couple of reasons not to do
so:
1. It can do a funny signed/unsigned comparison. If your
"len" is signed (e.g., a size_t) then the compiler will
promote the "-1" to its unsigned variant.
This works out for "!= len" (unless you really were
trying to write the maximum size_t bytes), but is a
bug if you check "< len" (an example of which was fixed
recently in config.c).
We should avoid promoting the mental model that you
need to check the length at all, so that new sites are
not tempted to copy us.
2. Checking for a negative value is shorter to type,
especially when the length is an expression.
3. Linus says so. In d34cf19b89 (Clean up write_in_full()
users, 2007-01-11), right after the write_in_full()
semantics were changed, he wrote:
I really wish every "write_in_full()" user would just
check against "<0" now, but this fixes the nasty and
stupid ones.
Appeals to authority aside, this makes it clear that
writing it this way does not have an intentional
benefit. It's a historical curiosity that we never
bothered to clean up (and which was undoubtedly
cargo-culted into new sites).
So let's convert these obviously-correct cases (this
includes write_str_in_full(), which is just a wrapper for
write_in_full()).
[1] A careful reader may notice there is one way that
write_in_full() can return a different value. If we ask
write() to write N bytes and get a return value that is
_larger_ than N, we could return a larger total. But
besides the fact that this would imply a totally broken
version of write(), it would already invoke undefined
behavior. Our internal remaining counter is an unsigned
size_t, which means that subtracting too many byte will
wrap it around to a very large number. So we'll instantly
begin reading off the end of the buffer, trying to write
gigabytes (or petabytes) of data.

The function close_pack_fd() needs to be temporarily made global. Its
scope will be restored to static in a subsequent commit.
