2016-01-25resolve_gitlink_ref: ignore non-repository pathsLibravatar Jeff King1-14/+32
When we want to look up a submodule ref, we use get_ref_cache(path) to find or auto-create its ref cache. But if we feed a path that isn't actually a git repository, we blindly create the ref cache, and then may die deeper in the code when we try to access it. This is a problem because many callers speculatively feed us a path that looks vaguely like a repository, and expect us to tell them when it is not. This patch teaches resolve_gitlink_ref to reject non-repository paths without creating a ref_cache. This avoids the die(), and also performs better if you have a large number of these faux-submodule directories (because the ref_cache lookup is linear, under the assumption that there won't be a large number of submodules). To accomplish this, we also break get_ref_cache into two pieces: the lookup and auto-creation (the latter is lumped into create_ref_cache). This lets us first cheaply ask our cache "is it a submodule we know about?" If so, we can avoid repeating our filesystem lookup. So lookups of real submodules are not penalized; they examine the submodule's .git directory only once. The test in t3000 demonstrates a case where this improves correctness (we used to just die). The new perf case in p7300 shows off the speed improvement in an admittedly pathological repository: Test HEAD^ HEAD ---------------------------------------------------------------- 7300.4: ls-files -o 66.97(66.15+0.87) 0.33(0.08+0.24) -99.5% Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-11-20refs: break out ref conflict checksLibravatar David Turner2-42/+23
Create new function find_descendant_ref, to hold one of the ref conflict checks used in verify_refname_available. Multiple backends will need this function, so move it to the common code. Also move rename_ref_available to the common code, because alternate backends might need it and it has no files-backend-specific code.

2015-11-20files_log_ref_write: new functionLibravatar David Turner2-0/+12
Because HEAD and stash are per-worktree, every refs backend needs to go through the files backend to write these refs. So create a new function, files_log_ref_write, and add it to refs/refs-internal.h. Later, we will use this to handle reflog updates for per-worktree symbolic refs (HEAD).

2015-11-20refs: split filesystem-based refs code into a new fileLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+3539
As another step in the move to pluggable reference backends, move the code that is specific to the filesystem-based reference backend (i.e., the current system of storing references as loose and packed files) into a separate file, refs/files-backend.c. Aside from a tiny bit of file header boilerplate, this commit only moves a subset of the code verbatim from refs.c to the new file, as can easily be verified using patience diff: git diff --patience $commit^:refs.c $commit:refs.c git diff --patience $commit^:refs.c $commit:refs/files-backend.c Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
2015-11-20refs/refs-internal.h: new header fileLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+180
There are a number of constants, structs, and static functions defined in refs.c and treated as private to the references module. But we want to support multiple reference backends within the reference module, and those backends will need access to some heretofore private declarations. We don't want those declarations to be visible to non-refs code, so we don't want to move them to refs.h. Instead, add a new header file, refs/refs-internal.h, that is intended to be included only from within the refs module. Make some functions non-static and move some declarations (and their corresponding docstrings) from refs.c to this file. In a moment we will add more content to the "refs" subdirectory.
