2017-03-02interpret_branch_name: allow callers to restrict expansionsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The interpret_branch_name() function converts names like @{-1} and @{upstream} into branch names. The expanded ref names are not fully qualified, and may be outside of the refs/heads/ namespace (e.g., "@" expands to "HEAD", and "@{upstream}" is likely to be in "refs/remotes/"). This is OK for callers like dwim_ref() which are primarily interested in resolving the resulting name, no matter where it is. But callers like "git branch" treat the result as a branch name in refs/heads/. When we expand to a ref outside that namespace, the results are very confusing (e.g., "git branch @" tries to create refs/heads/HEAD, which is nonsense). Callers can't know from the returned string how the expansion happened (e.g., did the user really ask for a branch named "HEAD", or did we do a bogus expansion?). One fix would be to return some out-parameters describing the types of expansion that occurred. This has the benefit that the caller can generate precise error messages ("I understood @{upstream} to mean origin/master, but that is a remote tracking branch, so you cannot create it as a local name"). However, out-parameters make the function interface somewhat cumbersome. Instead, let's do the opposite: let the caller tell us which elements to expand. That's easier to pass in, and none of the callers give more precise error messages than "@{upstream} isn't a valid branch name" anyway (which should be sufficient). The strbuf_branchname() function needs a similar parameter, as most of the callers access interpret_branch_name() through it. We can break the callers down into two groups: 1. Callers that are happy with any kind of ref in the result. We pass "0" here, so they continue to work without restrictions. This includes merge_name(), the reflog handling in add_pending_object_with_path(), and substitute_branch_name(). This last is what powers dwim_ref(). 2. Callers that have funny corner cases (mostly in git-branch and git-checkout). These need to make use of the new parameter, but I've left them as "0" in this patch, and will address them individually in follow-on patches.

2017-02-24refs: parse_hide_refs_config to use parse_config_keyLibravatar Stefan Beller1-3/+4
parse_config_key was introduced in 1b86bbb0ade (config: add helper function for parsing key names, 2013-01-22), the NEEDSWORK that is removed in this patch was introduced at daebaa7813 (upload/receive-pack: allow hiding ref hierarchies, 2013-01-18), which is only a couple days apart, so presumably the code replaced in this patch was only introduced due to not wanting to wait on the proper helper function being available.

2017-01-31refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = alwaysLibravatar Cornelius Weig1-5/+10
When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old history immediately). However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than the performance implications of keeping the log around. This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

Aside from removing redundant code, this allows submodule lookups to benefit from the much more robust code that we use for reading non-submodule references. And, since the code is now agnostic about reference backends, it will work for any future references backend (so move its definition to refs.c).

2016-06-20do_for_each_ref(): reimplement using reference iterationLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+20
Use the reference iterator interface to implement do_for_each_ref(). Delete a bunch of code supporting the old for_each_ref() implementation. And now that do_for_each_ref() is generic code (it is no longer tied to the files backend), move it to refs.c. The implementation is via a new function, do_for_each_ref_iterator(), which takes a reference iterator as argument and calls a callback function for each of the references in the iterator. This change requires the current_ref performance hack for peel_ref() to be implemented via ref_iterator_peel() rather than peel_entry() because we don't have a ref_entry handy (it is hidden under three layers: file_ref_iterator, merge_ref_iterator, and cache_ref_iterator). So: * do_for_each_ref_iterator() records the active iterator in current_ref_iter while it is running. * peel_ref() checks whether current_ref_iter is pointing at the requested reference. If so, it asks the iterator to peel the reference (which it can do efficiently via its "peel" virtual function). For extra safety, we do the optimization only if the refname *addresses* are the same, not only if the refname *strings* are the same, to forestall possible mixups between refnames that come from different ref_iterators. Please note that this optimization of peel_ref() is only available when iterating via do_for_each_ref_iterator() (including all of the for_each_ref() functions, which call it indirectly). It would be complicated to implement a similar optimization when iterating directly using a reference iterator, because multiple reference iterators can be in use at the same time, with interleaved calls to ref_iterator_advance(). (In fact we do exactly that in merge_ref_iterator.) But that is not necessary. peel_ref() is only called while iterating over references. Callers who iterate using the for_each_ref() functions benefit from the optimization described above. Callers who iterate using reference iterators directly have access to the ref_iterator, so they can call ref_iterator_peel() themselves to get an analogous optimization in a more straightforward manner. If we rewrite all callers to use the reference iteration API, then we can remove the current_ref_iter hack permanently.

2016-02-22use xmallocz to avoid size arithmeticLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
We frequently allocate strings as xmalloc(len + 1), where the extra 1 is for the NUL terminator. This can be done more simply with xmallocz, which also checks for integer overflow. There's no case where switching xmalloc(n+1) to xmallocz(n) is wrong; the result is the same length, and malloc made no guarantees about what was in the buffer anyway. But in some cases, we can stop manually placing NUL at the end of the allocated buffer. But that's only safe if it's clear that the contents will always fill the buffer. In each case where this patch does so, I manually examined the control flow, and I tried to err on the side of caution.
