Reading of symbolic and non-symbolic references is currently treated the
same in reference backends: we always call `refs_read_raw_ref()` and
then decide based on the returned flags what type it is. This has one
downside though: symbolic references may be treated different from
normal references in a backend from normal references. The packed-refs
backend for example doesn't even know about symbolic references, and as
a result it is pointless to even ask it for one.
There are cases where we really only care about whether a reference is
symbolic or not, but don't care about whether it exists at all or may be
a non-symbolic reference. But it is not possible to optimize for this
case right now, and as a consequence we will always first check for a
loose reference to exist, and if it doesn't, we'll query the packed-refs
backend for a known-to-not-be-symbolic reference. This is inefficient
and requires us to search all packed references even though we know to
not care for the result at all.
Introduce a new function `refs_read_symbolic_ref()` which allows us to
fix this case. This function will only ever return symbolic references
and can thus optimize for the scenario layed out above. By default, if
the backend doesn't provide an implementation for it, we just use the
old code path and fall back to `read_raw_ref()`. But in case the backend
provides its own, more efficient implementation, we will use that one
instead.
Note that this function is explicitly designed to not distinguish
between missing references and non-symbolic references. If it did, we'd
be forced to always search the packed-refs backend to see whether the
symbolic reference the user asked for really doesn't exist, or if it
exists as a non-symbolic reference.

Because a deletion of ref would need to remove it from both the
loose ref store and the packed ref store, a delete-ref operation
that logically removes one ref may end up invoking ref-transaction
hook twice, which has been corrected.

There is no way for a caller to see whether a reference update has
already been queued up for a given reference transaction. There are
multiple alternatives to provide this functionality:
- We may add a function that simply tells us whether a specific
reference has already been queued. If implemented naively then
this would potentially be quadratic in runtime behaviour if this
question is asked repeatedly because we have to iterate over all
references every time. The alternative would be to add a hashmap
of all queued reference updates to speed up the lookup, but this
adds overhead to all callers.
- We may add a flag to `ref_transaction_add_update()` that causes it
to skip duplicates, but this has the same runtime concerns as the
first alternative.
- We may add an interface which lets callers collect all updates
which have already been queued such that he can avoid re-adding
them. This is the most flexible approach and puts the burden on
the caller, but also allows us to not impact any of the existing
callsites which don't need this information.
This commit implements the last approach: it allows us to compute the
map of already-queued updates once up front such that we can then skip
all subsequent references which are already part of this map.

Remove the now-unused "failure_errno" parameter from the
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() signature. In my recent 96f6623ada0 (Merge
branch 'ab/refs-errno-cleanup', 2021-11-29) series we made all of its
callers explicitly request the errno via an output parameter.
As that series shows all but one caller ended up passing in a
boilerplate "ignore_errno", since they only cared about whether the
return value was NULL or not, i.e. if the ref could be resolved.
There was one small issue with that series fixed with a follow-up in
31e39123695 (Merge branch 'ab/refs-errno-cleanup', 2022-01-14) a small
bug in that series was fixed.
After those two there was one caller left in sequencer.c that used the
"failure_errno', but as of the preceding commit it uses a boilerplate
"ignore_errno" instead.
This leaves the public refs API without any use of "failure_errno" at
all. We could still do with a bit of cleanup and generalization
between refs.c and refs/files-backend.c before the "reftable"
integration lands, but that's all internal to the reference code
itself.
So let's remove this output parameter. Not only isn't it used now, but
it's unlikely that we'll want it again in the future. We'd like to
slowly move the refs API to a more file-backend independent way of
communicating error codes, having it use a "failure_errno" was only
the first step in that direction. If this or any other function needs
to communicate what specifically is wrong with the requested "refname"
it'll be better to have the function set some output enum of
well-defined error states than piggy-backend on "errno".

The reference-transaction hook is executing whenever we prepare, commit
or abort a reference transaction. While this is mostly intentional, in
case of the files backend we're leaking the implementation detail that
the store is in fact a composite store with one loose and one packed
backend to the caller. So while we want to execute the hook for all
logical updates, executing it for such implementation details is
unexpected.
Prepare for a fix by adding a new flag which allows to skip execution of
the hook.

Move the handling of the "verbose" flag entirely out of
"refs/files-backend.c" and into "builtin/reflog.c". This allows the
backend to stop knowing about the EXPIRE_REFLOGS_VERBOSE flag.
The expire_reflog_ent() function shouldn't need to deal with the
implementation detail of whether or not we're emitting verbose output,
by doing this the --verbose output becomes backend-agnostic, so
reftable will get the same output.
I think the output is rather bad currently, and should e.g. be
implemented with some better future mode of progress.[ch], but that's
a topic for another improvement.

Rename the transitory refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() function to
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe(), now that all callers of the old function
have learned to pass in a "failure_errno" parameter.
The coccinelle semantic patch added in the preceding commit works, but
I couldn't figure out how to get spatch(1) to re-flow these argument
lists (and sometimes make lines way too long), so this rename was done
with:
perl -pi -e 's/refs_werrres_ref_unsafe/refs_resolve_ref_unsafe/g' \
$(git grep -l refs_werrres_ref_unsafe -- '*.c')
But after that "make contrib/coccinelle/refs.cocci.patch" comes up
empty, so the result would have been the same. Let's remove that
transitory semantic patch file, we won't need to retain it for any
other in-flight changes, refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() only existed within
this patch series.

Add a new refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() function, which is like
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() except that it explicitly saves away the
"errno" to a passed-in parameter, the refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() then
becomes a wrapper for it.
In subsequent commits we'll migrate code over to it, before finally
making "refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()" with an "errno" parameter the
canonical version, so this this function exists only so that we can
incrementally migrate callers, it will be going away in a subsequent
commit.
As the added comment notes has a rather tortured name to be the same
length as "refs_resolve_ref_unsafe", to avoid churn as we won't need
to re-indent the argument lists, similarly the documentation and
structure of it in refs.h is designed to minimize a diff in a
subsequent commit, where that documentation will be added to the new
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe().
At the end of this migration the "meaningful errno" TODO item left in
76d70dc0c63 (refs.c: make resolve_ref_unsafe set errno to something
meaningful on error, 2014-06-20) will be resolved.
As can be seen from the use of refs_read_raw_ref() we'll also need to
convert some functions that the new refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() itself
calls to take this "failure_errno". That will be done in subsequent
commits.

No callers pass in anything but "0" here. Likewise to our sibling
functions. Note that some of them ferry along the flag, but none of
their callers pass anything but "0" either.
Nor is anybody likely to change that. Callers which really want to see
all of the raw refs use for_each_rawref(). And anybody interested in
iterating a subset of the refs will likely be happy to use the
now-default behavior of showing broken refs, but omitting dangling
symlinks.
So we can get rid of this whole feature.

During reflog expiry, the cmd_reflog_expire() function first iterates
over all reflogs in logs/*, and then one-by-one acquires the lock for
each one and expires it. This behavior has been with us since this
command was implemented in 4264dc15e1 ("git reflog expire",
2006-12-19).
Change this to stop calling lock_ref_oid_basic() with the OID we saw
when we looped over the logs, instead have it pass the OID it managed
to lock.
This mostly mitigates a race condition where e.g. "git gc" will fail
in a concurrently updated repository because the branch moved since
"git reflog expire --all" was started. I.e. with:
error: cannot lock ref '<refname>': ref '<refname>' is at <OID-A> but expected <OID-B>
This behavior of passing in an "oid" was needed for an edge-case that
I've untangled in this and preceding commits though, namely that we
needed this OID because we'd:
1. Lookup the reflog name/OID via dwim_log()
2. With that OID, lock the reflog
3. Later in builtin/reflog.c we use the OID we looked as input to
lookup_commit_reference_gently(), assured that it's equal to the
OID we got from dwim_log().
We can be sure that this change is safe to make because between
dwim_log (step #1) and lock_ref_oid_basic (step #2) there was no other
logic relevant to the OID or expiry run in the cmd_reflog_expire()
caller.
We can thus treat that code as a black box, before and after this
change it would get an OID that's been locked, the only difference is
that now we mostly won't be failing to get the lock due to the TOCTOU
race[0]. That failure was purely an implementation detail in how the
"current OID" was looked up, it was divorced from the locking
mechanism.
What do we mean with "mostly"? It mostly mitigates it because we'll
still run into cases where the ref is locked and being updated as we
want to expire it, and other git processes wanting to update the refs
will in turn race with us as we expire the reflog.
That remaining race can in turn be mitigated with the
core.filesRefLockTimeout setting, see 4ff0f01cb7 ("refs: retry
acquiring reference locks for 100ms", 2017-08-21). In practice if that
value is high enough we'll probably never have ref updates or reflog
expiry failing, since the clients involved will retry for far longer
than the time any of those operations could take.
See [1] for an initial report of how this impacted "git gc" and a
large discussion about this change in early 2019. In particular patch
looked good to Michael Haggerty, see his[2]. That message seems to not
have made it to the ML archive, its content is quoted in full in my
[3].
I'm leaving behind now-unused code the refs API etc. that takes the
now-NULL "unused_oid" argument, and other code that can be simplified now
that we never have on OID in that context, that'll be cleaned up in
subsequent commits, but for now let's narrowly focus on fixing the
"git gc" issue. As the modified assert() shows we always pass a NULL
oid to reflog_expire() now.
Unfortunately this sort of probabilistic contention is hard to turn
into a test. I've tested this by running the following three subshells
in concurrent terminals:
(
rm -rf /tmp/git &&
git init /tmp/git &&
while true
do
head -c 10 /dev/urandom | hexdump >/tmp/git/out &&
git -C /tmp/git add out &&
git -C /tmp/git commit -m"out"
done
)
(
rm -rf /tmp/git-clone &&
git clone file:///tmp/git /tmp/git-clone &&
while git -C /tmp/git-clone pull
do
date
done
)
(
while git -C /tmp/git-clone reflog expire --all
do
date
done
)
Before this change the "reflog expire" would fail really quickly with
the "but expected" error noted above.
After this change both the "pull" and "reflog expire" will run for a
while, but eventually fail because I get unlucky with
core.filesRefLockTimeout (the "reflog expire" is in a really tight
loop). As noted above that can in turn be mitigated with higher values
of core.filesRefLockTimeout than the 100ms default.
As noted in the commentary added in the preceding commit there's also
the case of branches being racily deleted, that can be tested by
adding this to the above:
(
while git -C /tmp/git-clone branch topic master &&
git -C /tmp/git-clone branch -D topic
do
date
done
)
With core.filesRefLockTimeout set to 10 seconds (it can probably be a
lot lower) I managed to run all four of these concurrently for about
an hour, and accumulated ~125k commits, auto-gc's and all, and didn't
have a single failure. The loops visibly stall while waiting for the
lock, but that's expected and desired behavior.

This function was used in the ref-filter.c code to find the longest

A future patch will want to use that same code from ls-refs.c, so
prepare by exposing and moving it to refs.c. Since there is nothing
specific to the ref-filter code here (other than that it was previously
the only caller of this function), this really belongs in the more

The peel_ref() interface is confusing and error-prone:
- it's typically used by ref iteration callbacks that have both a
refname and oid. But since they pass only the refname, we may load
the ref value from the filesystem again. This is inefficient, but
also means we are open to a race if somebody simultaneously updates
the ref. E.g., this:
int some_ref_cb(const char *refname, const struct object_id *oid, ...)
{
if (!peel_ref(refname, &peeled))
printf("%s peels to %s",
oid_to_hex(oid), oid_to_hex(&peeled);
}
could print nonsense. It is correct to say "refname peels to..."
(you may see the "before" value or the "after" value, either of
which is consistent), but mentioning both oids may be mixing
before/after values.
Worse, whether this is possible depends on whether the optimization
to read from the current iterator value kicks in. So it is actually
not possible with:
for_each_ref(some_ref_cb);
but it _is_ possible with:
head_ref(some_ref_cb);
which does not use the iterator mechanism (though in practice, HEAD
should never peel to anything, so this may not be triggerable).
- it must take a fully-qualified refname for the read_ref_full() code
path to work. Yet we routinely pass it partial refnames from
callbacks to for_each_tag_ref(), etc. This happens to work when
iterating because there we do not call read_ref_full() at all, and
only use the passed refname to check if it is the same as the
iterator. But the requirements for the function parameters are quite
unclear.
Instead of taking a refname, let's instead take an oid. That fixes both
problems. It's a little funny for a "ref" function not to involve refs
at all. The key thing is that it's optimizing under the hood based on
having access to the ref iterator. So let's change the name to make it
clear why you'd want this function versus just peel_object().
There are two other directions I considered but rejected:
- we could pass the peel information into the each_ref_fn callback.
However, we don't know if the caller actually wants it or not. For
packed-refs, providing it is essentially free. But for loose refs,
we actually have to peel the object, which would be wasteful in most
cases. We could likewise pass in a flag to the callback indicating
whether the peeled information is known, but that complicates those
callbacks, as they then have to decide whether to manually peel
themselves. Plus it requires changing the interface of every
callback, whether they care about peeling or not, and there are many
of them.
- we could make a function to return the peeled value of the current
iterated ref (computing it if necessary), and BUG() otherwise. I.e.:
int peel_current_iterated_ref(struct object_id *out);
Each of the current callers is an each_ref_fn callback, so they'd
mostly be happy. But:
- we use those callbacks with functions like head_ref(), which do
not use the iteration code. So we'd need to handle the fallback
case there, anyway.
- it's possible that a caller would want to call into generic code
that sometimes is used during iteration and sometimes not. This
encapsulates the logic to do the fast thing when possible, and
fallback when necessary.
The implementation is mostly obvious, but I want to call out a few
things in the patch:
- the test-tool coverage for peel_ref() is now meaningless, as it all
collapses to a single peel_object() call (arguably they were pretty
uninteresting before; the tricky part of that function is the
fast-path we see during iteration, but these calls didn't trigger
that). I've just dropped it entirely, though note that some other
tests relied on the tags we created; I've moved that creation to the
tests where it matters.
- we no longer need to take a ref_store parameter, since we'd never
look up a ref now. We do still rely on a global "current iterator"
variable which _could_ be kept per-ref-store. But in practice this
is only useful if there are multiple recursive iterations, at which
point the more appropriate solution is probably a stack of
iterators. No caller used the actual ref-store parameter anyway
(they all call the wrapper that passes the_repository).
- the original only kicked in the optimization when the "refname"
pointer matched (i.e., not string comparison). We do likewise with
the "oid" parameter here, but fall back to doing an actual oideq()
call. This in theory lets us kick in the optimization more often,
though in practice no current caller cares. It should never be
wrong, though (peeling is a property of an object, so two refs
pointing to the same object would peel identically).
- the original took care not to touch the peeled out-parameter unless
we found something to put in it. But no caller cares about this, and
anyway, it is enforced by peel_object() itself (and even in the
optimized iterator case, that's where we eventually end up). We can
shorten the code and avoid an extra copy by just passing the
out-parameter through the stack.

"git status" has trouble showing where it came from by interpreting
reflog entries that recordcertain events, e.g. "checkout @{u}", and
gives a hard/fatal error. Even though it inherently is impossible
to give a correct answer because the reflog entries lose some
information (e.g. "@{u}" does not record what branch the user was
on hence which branch 'the upstream' needs to be computed, and even
if the record were available, the relationship between branches may
have changed), at least hide the error to allow "status" show its
output.
* jt/interpret-branch-name-fallback:
wt-status: tolerate dangling marks
refs: move dwim_ref() to header file
sha1-name: replace unsigned int with option struct

When a user checks out the upstream branch of HEAD, the upstream branch
not being a local branch, and then runs "git status", like this:
git clone $URL client
cd client
git checkout @{u}
git status
no status is printed, but instead an error message:
fatal: HEAD does not point to a branch
(This error message when running "git branch" persists even after
checking out other things - it only stops after checking out a branch.)
This is because "git status" reads the reflog when determining the "HEAD
detached" message, and thus attempts to DWIM "@{u}", but that doesn't
work because HEAD no longer points to a branch.
Therefore, when calculating the status of a worktree, tolerate dangling
marks. This is done by adding an additional parameter to
dwim_ref() and repo_dwim_ref().

This makes it clear that dwim_ref() is just repo_dwim_ref() without the
first parameter.

The name "argv-array" isn't very good, because it describes what the
data type can be used for (program argument arrays), not what it
actually is (a dynamically-growing string array that maintains a
NULL-terminator invariant). This leads to people being hesitant to use
it for other cases where it would actually be a good fit. The existing
name is also clunky to use. It's overly long, and the name often leads
to saying things like "argv.argv" (i.e., the field names overlap with
variable names, since they're describing the use, not the type). Let's
give it a more neutral name.
I settled on "strvec" because "vector" is the name for a dynamic array
type in many programming languages. "strarray" would work, too, but it's
longer and a bit more awkward to say (and don't we all say these things
in our mind as we type them?).
A more extreme direction would be a generic data structure which stores
a NULL-terminated of _any_ type. That would be easy to do with void
pointers, but we'd lose some type safety for the existing cases. Plus it
raises questions about memory allocation and ownership. So I limited
myself here to changing names only, and not semantics. If we do find a
use for that more generic data type, we could perhaps implement it at a
lower level and then provide type-safe wrappers around it for strings.
But that can come later.
This patch does the minimum to convert the struct and function names in
the header and implementation, leaving a few things for follow-on
patches:
- files retain their original names for now
- struct field names are retained for now
- there's a preprocessor compat layer that lets most users remain the
same for now. The exception is headers which made a manual forward
declaration of the struct. I've converted them (and their dependent
function declarations) here.

The name of the primary branch in existing repositories, and the
default name used for the first branch in newly created
repositories, is made configurable, so that we can eventually wean
ourselves off of the hardcoded 'master'.
* js/default-branch-name:
contrib: subtree: adjust test to change in fmt-merge-msg
testsvn: respect `init.defaultBranch`
remote: use the configured default branch name when appropriate
clone: use configured default branch name when appropriate
init: allow setting the default for the initial branch name via the config
init: allow specifying the initial branch name for the new repository
docs: add missing diamond brackets
submodule: fall back to remote's HEAD for missing remote.<name>.branch
send-pack/transport-helper: avoid mentioning a particular branch
fmt-merge-msg: stop treating `master` specially
|
|
We just introduced the command-line option
`--initial-branch=<branch-name>` to allow initializing a new repository
with a different initial branch than the hard-coded one.
To allow users to override the initial branch name more permanently
(i.e. without having to specify the name manually for each and every
`git init` invocation), let's introduce the `init.defaultBranch` config
setting.

The ref_filter_match() method is defined in refs.h and implemented
in refs.c, but is only used by add_ref_decoration() in log-tree.c.
Move it into that file as a static helper method. The
match_ref_pattern() comes along for the ride.
While moving the code, also make a slight adjustment to have
ref_filter_match() take a struct decoration_filter pointer instead
of multiple string lists. This is non-functional, but will make a
later change be much cleaner.
The diff is easier to parse when using the --color-moved option.

Move the documentation from Documentation/technical/api-ref-iteration.txt
to refs.h as it's easier for the developers to find the usage
information beside the code instead of looking for it in another doc file.
Also documentation/technical/api-ref-iteration.txt is removed because the
information it has is now redundant and it'll be hard to keep it up to
date and synchronized with the documentation in the header file.

In recent versions of Git, per-worktree refs are exposed in
refs/worktrees/<wtname>/ hierarchy, which means that worktree names
must be a valid refname component. The code now sanitizes the names
given to worktrees, to make sure these refs are well-formed.
* nd/worktree-name-sanitization:
worktree add: sanitize worktree names
|
|
Worktree names are based on $(basename $GIT_WORK_TREE). They aren't
significant until 3a3b9d8cde (refs: new ref types to make per-worktree
refs visible to all worktrees - 2018-10-21), where worktree name could
be part of a refname and must follow refname rules.
Update 'worktree add' code to remove special characters to follow
these rules. In the future the user will be able to specify the
worktree name by themselves if they're not happy with this dumb
character substitution.

Mechanically and systematically drop "extern" from function
declarlation.
* dl/no-extern-in-func-decl:
*.[ch]: manually align parameter lists
*.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using sed
*.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using spatch
|

There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations.
Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are
caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with
processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern`
declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch.
This was the Coccinelle patch used:
@@
type T;
identifier f;
@@
- extern
T f(...);
and it was run with:
$ git ls-files \*.{c,h} |
grep -v ^compat/ |
xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place
Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly
copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much
as possible.

The code to traverse objects for reachability, used to decide what
objects are unreferenced and expendable, have been taught to also
consider per-worktree refs of other worktrees as starting points to
prevent data loss.
* nd/per-worktree-ref-iteration:
git-worktree.txt: correct linkgit command name
reflog expire: cover reflog from all worktrees
fsck: check HEAD and reflog from other worktrees
fsck: move fsck_head_link() to get_default_heads() to avoid some globals
revision.c: better error reporting on ref from different worktrees
revision.c: correct a parameter name
refs: new ref types to make per-worktree refs visible to all worktrees
Add a place for (not) sharing stuff between worktrees
refs.c: indent with tabs, not spaces
