It will be helpful to add behavior to index operations that might
trigger an object lookup. Since each index belongs to a specific
repository, add a 'repo' pointer to struct index_state that allows
access to this repository.
Add a BUG() statement if the repo already has an index, and the index
already has a repo, but somehow the index points to a different repo.
This will prevent future changes from needing to pass an additional
'struct repository *repo' parameter and instead rely only on the 'struct
index_state *istate' parameter.

At this point, SHA-256 support is experimental and some behavior may
change. To avoid surprising unsuspecting users, require a build flag,
ENABLE_SHA256, to allow use of a non-SHA-1 algorithm. Enable this flag
by default when the DEVELOPER make flag is set so that contributors can
test this case adequately.

The setup code has been cleaned up to avoid leaks around the
repository_format structure.
* ma/clear-repository-format:
setup: fix memory leaks with `struct repository_format`
setup: free old value before setting `work_tree`
|
|
After we set up a `struct repository_format`, it owns various pieces of
allocated memory. We then either use those members, because we decide we
want to use the "candidate" repository format, or we discard the
candidate / scratch space. In the first case, we transfer ownership of
the memory to a few global variables. In the latter case, we just
silently drop the struct and end up leaking memory.
Introduce an initialization macro `REPOSITORY_FORMAT_INIT` and a
function `clear_repository_format()`, to be used on each side of
`read_repository_format()`. To have a clear and simple memory ownership,
let all users of `struct repository_format` duplicate the strings that
they take from it, rather than stealing the pointers.
Call `clear_...()` at the start of `read_...()` instead of just zeroing
the struct, since we sometimes enter the function multiple times. Thus,
it is important to initialize the struct before calling `read_...()`, so
document that. It's also important because we might not even call
`read_...()` before we call `clear_...()`, see, e.g., builtin/init-db.c.
Teach `read_...()` to clear the struct on error, so that it is reset to
a safe state, and document this. (In `setup_git_directory_gently()`, we
look at `repo_fmt.hash_algo` even if `repo_fmt.version` is -1, which we
weren't actually supposed to do per the API. After this commit, that's
ok.)
We inherit the existing code's combining "error" and "no version found".
Both are signalled through `version == -1` and now both cause us to
clear any partial configuration we have picked up. For "extensions.*",
that's fine, since they require a positive version number. For
"core.bare" and "core.worktree", we're already verifying that we have a
non-negative version number before using them.

Create a new unified tracing facility for git. The eventual intent is to
replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a
unified set of git_trace2* routines.
In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level
event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written.
This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools.
Trace2 defines 3 output targets. These are set using the environment
variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT". These may be
set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE).
* GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command
summary data.
* GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE.
It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread,
repo, absolute and relative elapsed times. It reports events for
child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function
nesting.
* GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a
series of JSON records.
Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled
without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance*
routines.

When constructing a struct repository for a submodule for some revision
of the superproject where the submodule is not contained in the index,
it may not be present in the working tree currently either. In that
situation giving a 'path' argument is not useful. Upgrade the
repo_submodule_init function to take a struct submodule instead.
The submodule struct can be obtained via submodule_from_{path, name} or
an artificial submodule struct can be passed in.
While we are at it, rename the repository struct in the repo_submodule_init
function, which is to be initialized, to a name that is not confused with
the struct submodule as easily. Perform such renames in similar functions
as well.
Also move its documentation into the header file.

Our handling of alternate object directories is needlessly different
from the main object directory. As a result, many places in the code
basically look like this:
do_something(r->objects->objdir);
for (odb = r->objects->alt_odb_list; odb; odb = odb->next)
do_something(odb->path);
That gets annoying when do_something() is non-trivial, and we've
resorted to gross hacks like creating fake alternates (see
find_short_object_filename()).
Instead, let's give each raw_object_store a unified list of
object_directory structs. The first will be the main store, and
everything after is an alternate. Very few callers even care about the
distinction, and can just loop over the whole list (and those who care
can just treat the first element differently).
A few observations:
- we don't need r->objects->objectdir anymore, and can just
mechanically convert that to r->objects->odb->path
- object_directory's path field needs to become a real pointer rather
than a FLEX_ARRAY, in order to fill it with expand_base_dir()
- we'll call prepare_alt_odb() earlier in many functions (i.e.,
outside of the loop). This may result in us calling it even when our
function would be satisfied looking only at the main odb.
But this doesn't matter in practice. It's not a very expensive
operation in the first place, and in the majority of cases it will
be a noop. We call it already (and cache its results) in
prepare_packed_git(), and we'll generally check packs before loose
objects. So essentially every program is going to call it
immediately once per program.
Arguably we should just prepare_alt_odb() immediately upon setting
up the repository's object directory, which would save us sprinkling
calls throughout the code base (and forgetting to do so has been a
source of subtle bugs in the past). But I've stopped short of that
here, since there are already a lot of other moving parts in this
patch.
- Most call sites just get shorter. The check_and_freshen() functions
are an exception, because they have entry points to handle local and
nonlocal directories separately.

the_repository is special. One of the special things about it is that
it does not allocate a new index_state object like submodules but
points to the global the_index variable instead. As a global variable,
the_index cannot be free()'d.
Add an exception for this in repo_clear(). In the future perhaps we
would be able to allocate the_repository's index on heap too. Then we
can revert this.
the_repository->index remains pointed to a clean the_index even after
repo_clear() so that it could still be used next time (e.g. in a crazy
use case where a dev switches repo in the same process).

Convert the existing global cache for parsed objects (obj_hash) into
repository-specific parsed object caches. Existing code that uses
obj_hash are modified to use the parsed object cache of
the_repository; future patches will use the parsed object caches of
other repositories.
Another future use case for a pool of objects is ease of memory management
in revision walking: If we can free the rev-list related memory early in
pack-objects (e.g. part of repack operation) then it could lower memory
pressure significantly when running on large repos. While this has been
discussed on the mailing list lately, this series doesn't implement this.

connect_work_tree_and_git_dir is used to connect a submodule worktree with
its git directory and vice versa after events that require a reconnection
such as moving around the working tree. As submodules can have nested
submodules themselves, we'd also want to fix the nested submodules when
asked to. Add an option to recurse into the nested submodules and connect
them as well.
As submodules are identified by their name (which determines their git
directory in relation to their superproject's git directory) internally
and by their path in the working tree of the superproject, we need to
make sure that the mapping of name <-> path is kept intact. We can do
that in the git-mv command by writing out the gitmodules file first
and then forcing a reload of the submodule config machinery.

The raw object store field will contain any objects needed for access
to objects in a given repository.
This patch introduces the raw object store and populates it with the
`objectdir`, which used to be part of the repository struct.
As the struct gains members, we'll also populate the function to clear
the memory for these members.
In a later step, we'll introduce a struct object_parser, that will
complement the object parsing in a repository struct: The raw object
parser is the layer that will provide access to raw object content,
while the higher level object parser code will parse raw objects and
keeps track of parenthood and other object relationships using 'struct
object'. For now only add the lower level to the repository struct.

This variable was added because the repo_set_gitdir() was created to
cover both submodule and main repos, but these two are initialized a
bit differently so ignore_env == 0 means main repo, while ignore_env
!= 0 is submodules.
Since the difference part (env variables) has been moved out of
repo_set_gitdir(), this function works the same way for both repo
types and ignore_env is not needed anymore.

There are various git subcommands (among them, clone) which don't set up
the repository (that is, they lack RUN_SETUP or RUN_SETUP_GENTLY) but
end up needing to have information about the hash algorithm in use.
Because the hash algorithm is part of struct repository and it's only
initialized in repository setup, we can end up dereferencing a NULL
pointer in some cases if we call one of these subcommands and look up
the empty blob or empty tree values.
A "git clone" of a project that has two paths that differ only in
case suffers from this if it is run on a case insensitive platform.
When the command attempts to check out one of these two paths after
checking out the other one, the checkout codepath needs to see if
the version that is already on the filesystem (which should not
happen if the FS were case sensitive) is dirty, and it needs to
exercise the hashing code at that point.
In the future, we can add a command line option for this or read it
from the configuration, but until we're ready to expose that
functionality to the user, simply initialize the repository
structure to use the current hash algorithm, SHA-1.

read_index_from() takes a path argument for the location of the index
file. For reading the shared index in split index mode however it just
ignores that path argument, and reads it from the gitdir of the current
repository.
This works as long as an index in the_repository is read. Once that
changes, such as when we read the index of a submodule, or of a
different working tree than the current one, the gitdir of
the_repository will no longer contain the appropriate shared index,
and git will fail to read it.
For example t3007-ls-files-recurse-submodules.sh was broken with
GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX set in 188dce131f ("ls-files: use repository
object", 2017-06-22), and t7814-grep-recurse-submodules.sh was also
broken in a similar manner, probably by introducing struct repository
there, although I didn't track down the exact commit for that.
be489d02d2 ("revision.c: --indexed-objects add objects from all
worktrees", 2017-08-23) breaks with split index mode in a similar
manner, not erroring out when it can't read the index, but instead
carrying on with pruning, without taking the index of the worktree into
account.
Fix this by passing an additional gitdir parameter to read_index_from,
to indicate where it should look for and read the shared index from.
read_cache_from() defaults to using the gitdir of the_repository. As it
is mostly a convenience macro, having to pass get_git_dir() for every
call seems overkill, and if necessary users can have more control by
using read_index_from().

In future versions of Git, we plan to support an additional hash
algorithm. Integrate the enumeration of hash algorithms with repository
setup, and store a pointer to the enumerated data in struct repository.
Of course, we currently only support SHA-1, so hard-code this value in
read_repository_format. In the future, we'll enumerate this value from
the configuration.
Add a constant, the_hash_algo, which points to the hash_algo structure
pointer in the repository global. Note that this is the hash which is
used to serialize data to disk, not the hash which is used to display
items to the user. The transition plan anticipates that these may be
different. We can add an additional element in the future (say,
ui_hash_algo) to provide for this case.
Include repository.h in cache.h since we now need to have access to
these struct and variable definitions.

Ideally we'd free the existing gitdir field before assigning
the new one, to avoid a memory leak. But we can't do so
safely because some callers do the equivalent of:
set_git_dir(get_git_dir());
We can detect that case as a noop, but there are even more
complicated cases like:
set_git_dir(remove_leading_path(worktree, get_git_dir());
where we really do need to do some work, but the original
string must remain valid.
Rather than put the burden on callers to make a copy of the
string (only to free it later, since we'll make a copy of it
ourselves), let's solve the problem inside set_git_dir(). We
can make a copy of the pointer for the old gitdir, and then
avoid freeing it until after we've made our new copy.

It's possible that the repository data may be initialized
twice (e.g., after doing a chdir() to the top of the
worktree we may have to adjust a relative git_dir path). We
should free() any existing fields before assigning to them
to avoid leaks.
This should be safe, as the fields are set based on the
environment or on other strings like the gitdir or
commondir. That makes it impossible that we are feeding an

Introduce 'repo_submodule_init()' which performs initialization of a
'struct repository' as a submodule of another 'struct repository'.
The resulting submodule 'struct repository' can be in one of three states:
1. The submodule is initialized and has a worktree.
2. The submodule is initialized but does not have a worktree. This
would occur when the submodule's gitdir is present in the
superproject's 'gitdir/modules/' directory yet the submodule has not
been checked out in superproject's worktree.
3. The submodule remains uninitialized due to an error in the
initialization process or there is no matching submodule at the

Teach the config machinery to read config information from a repository
object. This involves storing a 'struct config_set' inside the
repository object and adding a number of functions (repo_config*) to be
able to query a repository's config.
The current config API enables lazy-loading of the config. This means
that when 'git_config_get_int()' is called, if the_config_set hasn't
been populated yet, then it will be populated and properly initialized by
reading the necessary config files (system wide .gitconfig, user's home
.gitconfig, and the repository's config). To maintain this paradigm,
the new API to read from a repository object's config will also perform
this lazy-initialization.
Since both APIs (git_config_get* and repo_config_get*) have the same
semantics we can migrate the default config to be stored within
'the_repository' and just have the 'git_config_get*' family of functions
redirect to the 'repo_config_get*' functions.

Introduce the repository object 'struct repository' which can be used to
hold all state pertaining to a git repository.
Some of the benefits of object-ifying a repository are:
1. Make the code base more readable and easier to reason about.
2. Allow for working on multiple repositories, specifically
submodules, within the same process. Currently the process for
working on a submodule involves setting up an argv_array of options
for a particular command and then launching a child process to
execute the command in the context of the submodule. This is
clunky and can require lots of little hacks in order to ensure
correctness. Ideally it would be nice to simply pass a repository
