2020-04-30shallow: use struct 'shallow_lock' for additional safetyLibravatar Taylor Blau1-3/+18
In previous patches, the functions 'commit_shallow_file' and 'rollback_shallow_file' were introduced to reset the shallowness validity checks on a repository after potentially modifying '.git/shallow'. These functions can be made safer by wrapping the 'struct lockfile *' in a new type, 'shallow_lock', so that they cannot be called with a raw lock (and potentially misused by other code that happens to possess a lockfile, but has nothing to do with shallowness). This patch introduces that type as a thin wrapper around 'struct lockfile', and updates the two aforementioned functions and their callers to use it.

2020-04-30shallow.h: document '{commit,rollback}_shallow_file'Libravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+2
When 'commit_shallow_file()' and 'rollback_shallow_file()' were introduced, they did not have a documenting comment, when they could have benefited from one. Add a brief note about what these functions do, and make a special note that they reset stat-validity checks.

2020-04-30shallow: extract a header file for shallow-related functionsLibravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+64
There are many functions in commit.h that are more related to shallow repositories than they are to any sort of generic commit machinery. Likely this began when there were only a few shallow-related functions, and commit.h seemed a reasonable enough place to put them. But, now there are a good number of shallow-related functions, and placing them all in 'commit.h' doesn't make sense. This patch extracts a 'shallow.h', which takes all of the declarations from 'commit.h' for functions which already exist in 'shallow.c'. We will bring the remaining shallow-related functions defined in 'commit.c' in a subsequent patch. For now, move only the ones that already are implemented in 'shallow.c', and update the necessary includes.
