2010-03-29refs.c: Write reflogs for notes just like for branch headsLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-0/+1
The notes code intends to write reflog entries, but currently they are not written because log_ref_write() checks for the refname path explicitly. Add refs/notes to the list of allowed paths so that notes references are treated just like branch heads, i.e. according to core.logAllRefUpdates and core.bare.

* jc/maint-refs-dangling: refs: ref entry with NULL sha1 is can be a dangling symref
2010-03-15refs: ref entry with NULL sha1 is can be a dangling symrefLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+7
Brandon Casey noticed that t5505 had accidentally broken its && chain, hiding inconsistency between the code that writes the warning to the standard output and the test that expects to see the warning on the standard error, which was introduced by f8948e2 (remote prune: warn dangling symrefs, 2009-02-08). It turns out that the issue is deeper than that. After f8948e2, a symref that is dangling is marked with a NULL sha1, and the idea of using NULL sha1 to mean a deleted ref was scrapped, but somehow a follow-up eafb452 (do_one_ref(): null_sha1 check is not about broken ref, 2009-07-22) incorrectly reorganized do_one_ref(), still thinking NULL sha1 is never used in the code. Fix this by: - adopt Brandon's fix to t5505 test; - introduce REF_BROKEN flag to mark a ref that fails to resolve (dangling symref); - move the check for broken ref back inside the "if we are skipping dangling refs" code block.

2010-03-13for_each_recent_reflog_ent(): use strbuf, fix offset handlingLibravatar René Scharfe1-10/+12
As Vladimir reported, "git log -g refs/stash" surprisingly showed the reflog of HEAD if the message in the reflog file was too long. To fix this, convert for_each_recent_reflog_ent() to use strbuf_getwholeline() instead of fgets(), for safety and to avoid any size limits for reflog entries. Also reverse the logic of the part of the function that only looks at file tails. It used to close the file if fgets() succeeded. The following fgets() call in the while loop was likely to fail in this case, too, so passing an offset to for_each_recent_reflog_ent() never worked. Change it to error out if strbuf_getwholeline() fails instead.

f8948e2 (remote prune: warn dangling symrefs, 2009-02-08) introduced a more dangerous variant of for_each_ref() family that skips the check for dangling refs, but it also made another unrelated check optional by mistake. The check to see if a ref points at 0{40} is not about brokenness, but is about a possible future plan to represent a deleted ref by writing 40 "0" in a loose ref when there is a stale version of the same ref already in .git/packed-refs, so that we can implement deletion of a ref without having to rewrite the packed refs file excluding the ref being deleted. This check has to live outside of the conditional. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-05-25lock_ref: inform callers of unavailable refLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
One of the ways that locking might fail is that there is a DF conflict between two refs (e.g., you want to lock "foo/bar" but "foo" already exists). In this case, we return an error, but there is no way for the caller to know the specific problem. This patch sets errno to ENOTDIR, which is the most sensible code. It's what we would see if the refs were stored purely in the filesystem (but these days we must check the namespace manually due to packed refs).

2009-04-07make get_short_ref a public functionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+99
Often we want to shorten a full ref name to something "prettier" to show a user. For example, "refs/heads/master" is often shown simply as "master", or "refs/remotes/origin/master" is shown as "origin/master". Many places in the code use a very simple formula: skip common prefixes like refs/heads, refs/remotes, etc. This is codified in the prettify_ref function. for-each-ref has a more correct (but more expensive) approach: consider the ref lookup rules, and try shortening as much as possible while remaining unambiguous.

2009-03-24Don't permit ref/branch names to end with ".lock"Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+3
We already skip over loose refs under $GIT_DIR/refs if the name ends with ".lock", so creating a branch named "foo.lock" will not appear in the output of "git branch", "git for-each-ref", nor will its commit be considered reachable by "git rev-list --all". In the latter case this is especially evil, as it may cause repository corruption when objects reachable only through such a ref are deleted by "git prune". It should be reasonably safe to deny use of ".lock" as a ref suffix. In prior versions of Git such branches would be "phantom branches"; you can create it, but you can't see it in "git branch" output. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2009-03-24check_ref_format(): tighten refname rulesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+9
This changes the rules for refnames to forbid: (1) a refname that contains "@{" in it. Some people and foreign SCM converter may have named their branches as frotz@24 and we still want to keep supporting it. However, "git branch frotz@{24}" is a disaster. It cannot even checked out because "git checkout frotz@{24}" will interpret it as "detach the HEAD at twenty-fourth reflog entry of the frotz branch". (2) a refname that ends with a dot. We already reject a path component that begins with a dot, primarily to avoid ambiguous range interpretation. If we allowed ".B" as a valid ref, it is unclear if "A...B" means "in dot-B but not in A" or "either in A or B but not in both". But for this to be complete, we need also to forbid "A." to avoid "in B but not in A-dot". This was not a problem in the original range notation, but we should have added this restriction when three-dot notation was introduced. Unlike "no dot at the beginning of any path component" rule, this rule does not have to be "no dot at the end of any path component", because you cannot abbreviate the tail end away, similar to you can say "dot-B" to mean "refs/heads/dot-B". For these reasons, it is not likely people created branches with these names on purpose, but we have allowed such names to be used for quite some time, and it is possible that people created such branches by mistake or by accident. To help people with branches with such unfortunate names to recover, we still allow "branch -d 'bad.'" to delete such branches, and also allow "branch -m bad. good" to rename them.

Since it doesn't actually touch its argument, this makes sense. However, we still want to return a non-const version (which requires a cast) so that this: struct ref *a, *b; a = find_ref_by_name(b); works. Unfortunately, you can also silently strip the const from a variable: struct ref *a; const struct ref *b; a = find_ref_by_name(b); This is a classic C const problem because there is no way to say "return the type with the same constness that was passed to us"; we provide the same semantics as standard library functions like strchr.
