2017-02-20branch: record creation of renamed branch in HEAD's logLibravatar Kyle Meyer1-1/+2
Renaming the current branch adds an event to the current branch's log and to HEAD's log. However, the logged entries differ. The entry in the branch's log represents the entire renaming operation (the old and new hash are identical), whereas the entry in HEAD's log represents the deletion only (the new sha1 is null). Extend replace_each_worktree_head_symref(), whose only caller is branch_rename(), to take a reflog message argument. This allows the creation of the new ref to be recorded in HEAD's log. As a result, the renaming event is represented by two entries (a deletion and a creation entry) in HEAD's log. It's a bit unfortunate that the branch's log and HEAD's log now represent the renaming event in different ways. Given that the renaming operation is not atomic, the two-entry form is a more accurate representation of the operation and is more useful for debugging purposes if a failure occurs between the deletion and creation events. It would make sense to move the branch's log to the two-entry form, but this would involve changes to how the rename is carried out and to how the update flags and reflogs are processed for deletions, so it may not be worth the effort.

2017-02-20delete_ref: accept a reflog message argumentLibravatar Kyle Meyer1-2/+2
When the current branch is renamed with 'git branch -m/-M' or deleted with 'git update-ref -m<msg> -d', the event is recorded in HEAD's log with an empty message. In preparation for adding a more meaningful message to HEAD's log in these cases, update delete_ref() to take a message argument and pass it along to ref_transaction_delete(). Modify all callers to pass NULL for the new message argument; no change in behavior is intended. Note that this is relevant for HEAD's log but not for the deleted ref's log, which is currently deleted along with the ref. Even if it were not, an entry for the deletion wouldn't be present in the deleted ref's log. files_transaction_commit() writes to the log if REF_NEEDS_COMMIT or REF_LOG_ONLY are set, but lock_ref_for_update() doesn't set REF_NEEDS_COMMIT for the deleted ref because REF_DELETING is set. In contrast, the update for HEAD has REF_LOG_ONLY set by split_head_update(), resulting in the deletion being logged.

2017-01-31refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = alwaysLibravatar Cornelius Weig1-0/+2
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).

2016-06-20refs: introduce an iterator interfaceLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+3
Currently, the API for iterating over references is via a family of for_each_ref()-type functions that invoke a callback function for each selected reference. All of these eventually call do_for_each_ref(), which knows how to do one thing: iterate in parallel through two ref_caches, one for loose and one for packed refs, giving loose references precedence over packed refs. This is rather complicated code, and is quite specialized to the files backend. It also requires callers to encapsulate their work into a callback function, which often means that they have to define and use a "cb_data" struct to manage their context. The current design is already bursting at the seams, and will become even more awkward in the upcoming world of multiple reference storage backends: * Per-worktree vs. shared references are currently handled via a kludge in git_path() rather than iterating over each part of the reference namespace separately and merging the results. This kludge will cease to work when we have multiple reference storage backends. * The current scheme is inflexible. What if we sometimes want to bypass the ref_cache, or use it only for packed or only for loose refs? What if we want to store symbolic refs in one type of storage backend and non-symbolic ones in another? In the future, each reference backend will need to define its own way of iterating over references. The crux of the problem with the current design is that it is impossible to compose for_each_ref()-style iterations, because the flow of control is owned by the for_each_ref() function. There is nothing that a caller can do but iterate through all references in a single burst, so there is no way for it to interleave references from multiple backends and present the result to the rest of the world as a single compound backend. This commit introduces a new iteration primitive for references: a ref_iterator. A ref_iterator is a polymorphic object that a reference storage backend can be asked to instantiate. There are three functions that can be applied to a ref_iterator: * ref_iterator_advance(): move to the next reference in the iteration * ref_iterator_abort(): end the iteration before it is exhausted * ref_iterator_peel(): peel the reference currently being looked at Iterating using a ref_iterator leaves the flow of control in the hands of the caller, which means that ref_iterators from multiple sources (e.g., loose and packed refs) can be composed and presented to the world as a single compound ref_iterator. It also means that the backend code for implementing reference iteration will sometimes be more complicated. For example, the cache_ref_iterator (which iterates over a ref_cache) can't use the C stack to recurse; instead, it must manage its own stack internally as explicit data structures. There is also a lot of boilerplate connected with object-oriented programming in C. Eventually, end-user callers will be able to be written in a more natural way—managing their own flow of control rather than having to work via callbacks. Since there will only be a few reference backends but there are many consumers of this API, this is a good tradeoff. More importantly, we gain composability, and especially the possibility of writing interchangeable parts that can work with any ref_iterator. For example, merge_ref_iterator implements a generic way of merging the contents of any two ref_iterators. It is used to merge loose + packed refs as part of the implementation of the files_ref_iterator. But it will also be possible to use it to merge other pairs of reference sources (e.g., per-worktree vs. shared refs). Another example is prefix_ref_iterator, which can be used to trim a prefix off the front of reference names before presenting them to the caller (e.g., "refs/heads/master" -> "master"). In this patch, we introduce the iterator abstraction and many utilities, and implement a reference iterator for the files ref storage backend. (I've written several other obvious utilities, for example a generic way to filter references being iterated over. These will probably be useful in the future. But they are not needed for this patch series, so I am not including them at this time.) In a moment we will rewrite do_for_each_ref() to work via reference iterators (allowing some special-purpose code to be discarded), and do something similar for reflogs. In future patch series, we will expose the ref_iterator abstraction in the public refs API so that callers can use it directly. Implementation note: I tried abstracting this a layer further to allow generic iterators (over arbitrary types of objects) and generic utilities like a generic merge_iterator. But the implementation in C was very cumbersome, involving (in my opinion) too much boilerplate and too much unsafe casting, some of which would have had to be done on the caller side. However, I did put a few iterator-related constants in a top-level header file, iterator.h, as they will be useful in a moment to implement iteration over directory trees and possibly other types of iterators in the future.

To update HEAD of a linked working tree, create_symref("worktrees/$work_tree/HEAD", "refs/heads/$branch", msg) could be used. However when it comes to updating HEAD of the main working tree, it is unusable because it uses $GIT_DIR for worktree-specific symrefs (HEAD).

2015-12-29create_symref: modernize variable namesLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Once upon a time, create_symref() was used only to point HEAD at a branch name, and the variable names reflect that (e.g., calling the path git_HEAD). However, it is much more generic these days (and has been for some time). Let's update the variable names to make it easier to follow: - `ref_target` is now just `refname`. This is closer to the `ref` that is already in `cache.h`, but with the extra twist that "name" makes it clear this is the name and not a ref struct. Dropping "target" hopefully makes it clear that we are talking about the symref itself, not what it points to. - `git_HEAD` is now `ref_path`; the on-disk path corresponding to `ref`. - `refs_heads_master` is now just `target`; i.e., what the symref points at. This term also matches what is in the symlink(2) manpage (at least on Linux). - the buffer to hold the symref file's contents was simply called `ref`. It's now `buf` (admittedly also generic, but at least not actively introducing confusion with the other variable holding the refname).

2015-06-22delete_ref(): use the usual convention for old_sha1Libravatar Michael Haggerty1-5/+5
The ref_transaction_update() family of functions use the following convention for their old_sha1 parameters: * old_sha1 == NULL: Don't check the old value at all. * is_null_sha1(old_sha1): Ensure that the reference didn't exist before the transaction. * otherwise: Ensure that the reference had the specified value before the transaction. delete_ref() had a different convention, namely treating is_null_sha1(old_sha1) as "don't care". Change it to adhere to the standard convention to reduce the scope for confusion. Please note that it is now a bug to pass old_sha1=NULL_SHA1 to delete_ref() (because it doesn't make sense to delete a reference that you already know doesn't exist). This is consistent with the behavior of ref_transaction_delete(). Most of the callers of delete_ref() never pass old_sha1=NULL_SHA1 to delete_ref(), and are therefore unaffected by this change. The two exceptions are: * The call in cmd_update_ref(), which passed NULL_SHA1 if the old value passed in on the command line was 0{40} or the empty string. Change that caller to pass NULL in those cases. Arguably, it should be an error to call "update-ref -d" with the old value set to "does not exist", just as it is for the `--stdin` command "delete". But since this usage was accepted until now, continue to accept it. * The call in delete_branches(), which could pass NULL_SHA1 if deleting a broken or symbolic ref. Change it to pass NULL in these cases. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-06-22refs: remove some functions from the module's public interfaceLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-30/+0
The following functions are no longer used from outside the refs module: * lock_packed_refs() * add_packed_ref() * commit_packed_refs() * rollback_packed_refs() So make these functions private. This is an important step, because it means that nobody outside of the refs module needs to know the difference between loose and packed references.

2015-06-22initial_ref_transaction_commit(): function for initial ref creationLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+14
"git clone" uses shortcuts when creating the initial set of references: * It writes them directly to packed-refs. * It doesn't lock the individual references (though it does lock the packed-refs file). * It doesn't check for refname conflicts between two new references or between one new reference and any hypothetical old ones. * It doesn't create reflog entries for the reference creations. This functionality was implemented in builtin/clone.c. But really that file shouldn't have such intimate knowledge of how references are stored. So provide a new function in the refs API, initial_ref_transaction_commit(), which can be used for initial reference creation. The new function is based on the ref_transaction interface. This means that we can make some other functions private to the refs module. That will be done in a followup commit. It would seem to make sense to add a test here that there are no existing references, because that is how the function *should* be used. But in fact, the "testgit" remote helper appears to call it *after* having set up refs/remotes/<name>/HEAD and refs/remotes/<name>/master, so we can't be so strict. For now, the function trusts its caller to only call it when it makes sense. Future commits will add some more limited sanity checks.

2015-05-25each_ref_fn: change to take an object_id parameterLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+12
Change typedef each_ref_fn to take a "const struct object_id *oid" parameter instead of "const unsigned char *sha1". To aid this transition, implement an adapter that can be used to wrap old-style functions matching the old typedef, which is now called "each_ref_sha1_fn"), and make such functions callable via the new interface. This requires the old function and its cb_data to be wrapped in a "struct each_ref_fn_sha1_adapter", and that object to be used as the cb_data for an adapter function, each_ref_fn_adapter(). This is an enormous diff, but most of it consists of simple, mechanical changes to the sites that call any of the "for_each_ref" family of functions. Subsequent to this change, the call sites can be rewritten one by one to use the new interface.

2015-02-17ref_transaction_verify(): new function to check a reference's valueLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-8/+26
If NULL is passed to ref_transaction_update()'s new_sha1 parameter, then just verify old_sha1 (under lock) without trying to change the new value of the reference. Use this functionality to add a new function ref_transaction_verify(), which checks the current value of the reference under lock but doesn't change it. Use ref_transaction_verify() in the implementation of "git update-ref --stdin"'s "verify" command to avoid the awkward need to "update" the reference to its existing value.
