If our call to refs_read_raw_ref() fails, we check errno to
see if the ref is simply missing, or if we encountered a
more serious error. If it's just missing, then in "write"
mode (i.e., when RESOLVE_REFS_READING is not set), this is
perfectly fine.
However, checking for ENOENT isn't sufficient to catch all
missing-ref cases. In the filesystem backend, we may also
see EISDIR when we try to resolve "a" and "a/b" exists.
Likewise, we may see ENOTDIR if we try to resolve "a/b" and
"a" exists. In both of those cases, we know that our
resolved ref doesn't exist, but we return an error (rather
than reporting the refname and returning a null sha1).
This has been broken for a long time, but nobody really
noticed because the next step after resolving without the
READING flag is usually to lock the ref and write it. But in
both of those cases, the write will fail with the same
errno due to the directory/file conflict.
There are two cases where we can notice this, though:
1. If we try to write "a" and there's a leftover directory
already at "a", even though there is no ref "a/b". The
actual write is smart enough to move the empty "a" out
of the way.
This is reasonably rare, if only because the writing
code has to do an independent resolution before trying
its write (because the actual update_ref() code handles
this case fine). The notes-merge code does this, and
before the fix in the prior commit t3308 erroneously
expected this case to fail.
2. When resolving symbolic refs, we typically do not use
the READING flag because we want to resolve even
symrefs that point to unborn refs. Even if those unborn
refs could not actually be written because of d/f
conflicts with existing refs.
You can see this by asking "git symbolic-ref" to report
the target of a symref pointing past a d/f conflict.
We can fix the problem by recognizing the other "missing"
errnos and treating them like ENOENT. This should be safe to
do even for callers who are then going to actually write the
ref, because the actual writing process will fail if the d/f
conflict is a real one (and t1404 checks these cases).
Arguably this should be the responsibility of the
files-backend to normalize all "missing ref" errors into
ENOENT (since something like EISDIR may not be meaningful at
all to a database backend). However other callers of
refs_read_raw_ref() may actually care about the distinction;
putting this into resolve_ref() is the minimal fix for now.
The new tests in t1401 use git-symbolic-ref, which is the
most direct way to check the resolution by itself.
Interestingly we actually had a test that setup this case
already, but we only used it to verify that the funny state
could be overwritten, not that it could be resolved.
We also add a new test in t3200, as "branch -m" was the
original motivation for looking into this. What happens is
this:
0. HEAD is pointing to branch "a"
1. The user asks to rename "a" to "a/b".
2. We create "a/b" and delete "a".
3. We then try to update any worktree HEADs that point to
the renamed ref (including the main repo HEAD). To do
that, we have to resolve each HEAD. But now our HEAD is
pointing at "a", and we get EISDIR due to the loose
"a/b". As a result, we think there is no HEAD, and we
do not update it. It now points to the bogus "a".
Interestingly this case used to work, but only accidentally.
Before 31824d180d (branch: fix branch renaming not updating
HEADs correctly, 2017-08-24), we'd update any HEAD which we
couldn't resolve. That was wrong, but it papered over the
fact that we were incorrectly failing to resolve HEAD.
So while the bug demonstrated by the git-symbolic-ref is
quite old, the regression to "branch -m" is recent.

When creating a new branch B by copying the branch A that happens to
be the current branch, it also updates HEAD to point at the new
branch. It probably was made this way because "git branch -c A B"
piggybacked its implementation on "git branch -m A B",
This does not match the usual expectation. If I were sitting on a
blue chair, and somebody comes and repaints it to red, I would
accept ending up sitting on a chair that is now red (I am also OK to
stand, instead, as there no longer is my favourite blue chair). But
if somebody creates a new red chair, modelling it after the blue
chair I am sitting on, I do not expect to be booted off of the blue
chair and ending up on sitting on the new red one.
Let's fix this before it hits 'next'. Those who want to create a
new branch and switch to it can do "git checkout B" after doing a
"git branch -c B", and if that operation is so useful and deserves a
short-hand way to do so, perhaps extend "git checkout -b B" to copy
configurations while creating the new branch B.

branch: fix branch renaming not updating HEADs correctly

There are two bugs that sort of work together and cause
problems. Let's start with one in replace_each_worktree_head_symref.
Before fa099d2322 (worktree.c: kill parse_ref() in favor of
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() - 2017-04-24), this code looks like this:
if (strcmp(oldref, worktrees[i]->head_ref))
continue;
set_worktree_head_symref(...);
After fa099d2322, it is possible that head_ref can be NULL. However,
the updated code takes the wrong exit. In the error case (NULL
head_ref), we should "continue;" to the next worktree. The updated
code makes us _skip_ "continue;" and update HEAD anyway.
The NULL head_ref is triggered by the second bug in add_head_info (in
the same commit). With the flag RESOLVE_REF_READING, resolve_ref_unsafe()
will abort if it cannot resolve the target ref. For orphan checkouts,
HEAD always points to an unborned branch, resolving target ref will
always fail. Now we have NULL head_ref. Now we always update HEAD.
Correct the logic in replace_ function so that we don't accidentally
update HEAD on error. As it turns out, correcting the logic bug above
breaks branch renaming completely, thanks to the second bug.
"git branch -[Mm]" does two steps (on a normal checkout, no orphan!):
- rename the branch on disk (e.g. refs/heads/abc to refs/heads/def)
- update HEAD if it points to the branch being renamed.
At the second step, since the branch pointed to by HEAD (e.g. "abc") no
longer exists on disk, we run into a temporary orphan checkout situation
that has been just corrected to _not_ update HEAD. But we need to update
HEAD since it's not actually an orphan checkout. We need to update HEAD
to move out of that orphan state.
Correct add_head_info(), remove RESOLVE_REF_READING flag. With the flag
gone, we should always return good "head_ref" in orphan checkouts (either
temporary or permanent). With good head_ref, things start to work again.

The '--set-upstream' option of branch was deprecated in b347d06b
("branch: deprecate --set-upstream and show help if we detect
possible mistaken use", 2012-08-30) and has been planned for removal
ever since.
In order to prevent "--set-upstream" on a command line from being taken as
an abbreviated form of "--set-upstream-to", explicitly catch "--set-upstream"
option and die, instead of just removing it from the list of options.
Before this change, an attempt to use "--set-upstream" resulted in:
$ git branch
* master
$ git branch --set-upstream origin/master
The --set-upstream flag is deprecated and will be removed. Consider using --track or --set-upstream-to
Branch origin/master set up to track local branch master.
$ echo $?
0
$ git branch
* master
origin/master
With this change, the behaviour becomes like this:
$ git branch
* master
$ git branch --set-upstream origin/master
fatal: the '--set-upstream' option is no longer supported. Please use '--track' or '--set-upstream-to' instead.
$ echo $?
128

Avoiding the clean up step of tests may help in some cases but in other
cases they cause the other unrelated tests to fail for unobvious reasons.
It's better to cleanup a few things to keep other tests from failing
as a result of it.
So, cleanup a cruft left behind by an old test in order for the changes that

The reflog-walk system works by putting a ref's tip into the
pending queue, and then "traversing" the reflog by
pretending that the parent of each commit is the previous
reflog entry.
This causes a number of user-visible oddities, as documented
in t1414 (and the commit message which introduced it). We
can fix all of them in one go by replacing the fake-reflog
system with a much simpler one: just keeping a list of
reflogs to show, and walking through them entry by entry.
The implementation is fairly straight-forward, but there are
a few items to note:
1. We obviously must skip calling add_parents_to_list()
when we are traversing reflogs, since we do not want to
walk the original parents at all. As a result, we must call
try_to_simplify_commit() ourselves.
There are other parts of add_parents_to_list() we skip,
as well, but none of them should matter for a reflog
traversal:
- We do not allow UNINTERESTING commits, nor
symmetric ranges (and we bail when these are used
with "-g").
- Using --source makes no sense, since we aren't
traversing. The reflog selector shows the same
information with more detail.
- Using --first-parent is still sensible, since you
may want to see the first-parent diff for each
entry. But since we're not traversing, we don't
need to cull the parent list here.
2. Since we now just walk the reflog entries themselves,
rather than starting with the ref tip, we now look at
the "new" field of each entry rather than the "old"
(i.e., we are showing entries, not faking parents).
This removes all of the tricky logic around skipping
past root commits.
But note that we have no way to show an entry with the
null sha1 in its "new" field (because such a commit
obviously does not exist). Normally this would not
happen, since we delete reflogs along with refs, but
there is one special case. When we rename the currently
checked out branch, we write two reflog entries into
the HEAD log: one where the commit goes away, and
another where it comes back.
Prior to this commit, we show both entries with
identical reflog messages. After this commit, we show
only the "comes back" entry. See the update in t3200
which demonstrates this.
Arguably either is fine, as the whole double-entry
thing is a bit hacky in the first place. And until a
recent fix, we truncated the traversal in such a case
anyway, which was _definitely_ wrong.
3. We show individual reflogs in order, but choose which
reflog to show at each stage based on which has the
most recent timestamp. This interleaves the output
from multiple reflogs based on date order, which is
probably what you'd want with limiting like "-n 30".
Note that the implementation aims for simplicity. It
does a linear walk over the reflog queue for each
commit it pulls, which may perform badly if you
interleave an enormous number of reflogs. That seems
like an unlikely use case; if we did want to handle it,
we could probably keep a priority queue of reflogs,
ordered by the timestamp of their current tip entry.

Since 39ee4c6c2f (branch: record creation of renamed branch
in HEAD's log, 2017-02-20), a rename on the currently
checked out branch will create two entries in the HEAD
reflog: one where the branch goes away (switching to the
null oid), and one where it comes back (switching away from
the null oid).
This confuses the reflog-walk code. When walking backwards,
it first sees the null oid in the "old" field of the second
entry. Thanks to the "root commit" logic added by 71abeb753f
(reflog: continue walking the reflog past root commits,
2016-06-03), we keep looking for the next entry by scanning
the "new" field from the previous entry. But that field is
also null! We need to go just a tiny bit further, and look
at its "old" field. But with the current code, we decide the
reflog has nothing else to show and just give up. To the
user this looks like the reflog was truncated by the rename
operation, when in fact those entries are still there.
This patch does the absolute minimal fix, which is to look
back that one extra level and keep traversing.
The resulting behavior may not be the _best_ thing to do in
the long run (for example, we show both reflog entries each
with the same commit id), but it's a simple way to fix the
problem without risking further regressions.

Add the ability to --copy a branch and its reflog and configuration,
this uses the same underlying machinery as the --move (-m) option
except the reflog and configuration is copied instead of being moved.
This is useful for e.g. copying a topic branch to a new version,
e.g. work to work-2 after submitting the work topic to the list, while
preserving all the tracking info and other configuration that goes
with the branch, and unlike --move keeping the other already-submitted
branch around for reference.
Like --move, when the source branch is the currently checked out
branch the HEAD is moved to the destination branch. In the case of
--move we don't really have a choice (other than remaining on a
detached HEAD) and in order to keep the functionality consistent, we
are doing it in similar way for --copy too.
The most common usage of this feature is expected to be moving to a
new topic branch which is a copy of the current one, in that case
moving to the target branch is what the user wants, and doesn't
unexpectedly behave differently than --move would.
One outstanding caveat of this implementation is that:
git checkout maint &&
git checkout master &&
git branch -c topic &&
git checkout -
Will check out 'maint' instead of 'master'. This is because the @{-N}
feature (or its -1 shorthand "-") relies on HEAD reflogs created by
the checkout command, so in this case we'll checkout maint instead of
master, as the user might expect. What to do about that is left to a
future change.

Add a test for the case when only one parameter is passed to '-m'
(move/rename) option.
For example - if 'git branch -m bbb' is run while checked out on aaa
branch, it should rename the currently checked out branch to bbb.
There was no test for this particular case with only one parameter
for -m option. However, there's one similar test case for -M option.
Add test for making sure HEAD points to the bbb (new branch name). Also
add a test for making sure the reflog that is moved to 'bbb' retains
entries created for the currently checked out branch. Note that since
the topmost entry on reflog for bbb will be about branch creation, we
compare bbb@{1} (instead of bbb@{0}) with aaa@{0} to make sure the
reflog for bbb retains entries from aaa.

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.

When the current branch is renamed, the deletion of the old ref is
recorded in HEAD's log with an empty message. Now that delete_ref()
accepts a reflog message, provide a more descriptive message by
passing along the log message that is given to rename_ref().
The next step will be to extend HEAD's log to also include the second
part of the rename, the creation of the new branch.

The test functions test_i18ncmp and test_i18ngrep pretend success if run

correctly marked as translatable, enables one to detect if the strings
newly marked for translation are from plumbing output. If they are
indeed from plumbing, the test would fail, and the string should be

Thus, it is productive to not have false positives when running the test

their i18n aware variants in use-cases know to be correctly marked for

Alternate refs backends might store reflogs somewhere other than
.git/logs. Change most test code that directly accesses .git/logs to
instead use git reflog commands.
There are still a few tests which need direct access to reflogs: to
check reflog permissions, to manually create reflogs from scratch, to
save/restore reflogs, to check the format of raw reflog data, and to

"git branch -d" (delete) and "git branch -m" (move) learned to
honor "-f" (force) flag; unlike many other subcommands, the way to
force these have been with separate "-D/-M" options, which was
inconsistent.
* mg/branch-d-m-f:
branch: allow -f with -m and -d
t3200-branch: test -M

-f/--force is the standard way to force an action, and is used by branch
for the recreation of existing branches, but not for deleting unmerged
branches nor for renaming to an existing branch.
Make "-m -f" equivalent to "-M" and "-d -f" equivalent to" -D", i.e.
allow -f/--force to be used with -m/-d also.
For the list modes, "-f" is simply ignored.

If a repository gets in a broken state with too much symref nesting,
it cannot be repaired with "git branch -d":
$ git symbolic-ref refs/heads/nonsense refs/heads/nonsense
$ git branch -d nonsense
error: branch 'nonsense' not found.
Worse, "git update-ref --no-deref -d" doesn't work for such repairs
either:
$ git update-ref -d refs/heads/nonsense
error: unable to resolve reference refs/heads/nonsense: Too many levels of symbolic links
Fix both by teaching resolve_ref_unsafe a new RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE
flag and passing it when appropriate.
Callers can still read the value of a symref (for example to print a
message about it) with that flag set --- resolve_ref_unsafe will
resolve one level of symrefs and stop there.

* dt/tests-with-env-not-subshell:
tests: use "env" to run commands with temporary env-var settings
|
|
Ordinarily, we would say "VAR=VAL command" to execute a tested
command with environment variable(s) set only for that command.
This however does not work if 'command' is a shell function (most
notably 'test_must_fail'); the result of the assignment is retained
and affects later commands.
To avoid this, we used to assign and export environment variables
and run such a test in a subshell, like so:
(
VAR=VAL && export VAR &&
test_must_fail git command to be tested
)
But with "env" utility, we should be able to say:
test_must_fail env VAR=VAL git command to be tested
which is much shorter and easier to read.

t3200: do not open a HTML manual page when DEFAULT_MAN_FORMAT is html
|
|
We have the build configuration option DEFAULT_MAN_FORMAT to choose a
format different from man pages to be used by 'git help' when no format
is requested explicitly. Since 65db0443 (Set the default help format to
html for msys builds, 2013-06-04) we use html on Windows by default.
There is one test in t3200-branch.sh that invokes a help page. The
intent of the redirections applied to the command invocation is to avoid
that the man page viewer interferes with the automated test. But when
the default format is not "man", this does not have the intended effect,
and the HTML manual page is opened during the test run. Request "man"
format explicitly to keep the test silent.

When creating an upstream relationship, we use the configured remotes and
their refspecs to determine the upstream configuration settings
branch.<name>.remote and branch.<name>.merge. However, if the matching
refspec does not have refs/heads/<something> on the remote side, we end
up rejecting the match, and failing the upstream configuration.
It could be argued that when we set up an branch's upstream, we want that
upstream to also be a proper branch in the remote repo. Although this is
typically the common case, there are cases (as demonstrated by the previous
patch in this series) where this requirement prevents a useful upstream
relationship from being formed. Furthermore:
- We have fundamentally no say in how the remote repo have organized its
branches. The remote repo may put branches (or branch-like constructs
that are insteresting for downstreams to track) outside refs/heads/*.
- The user may intentionally want to track a non-branch from a remote
repo, by using a branch and configured upstream in the local repo.
Relaxing the checking to only require a matching remote/refspec allows the
testcase introduced in the previous patch to succeed, and has no negative
effect on the rest of the test suite.
This patch fixes a behavior (arguably a regression) first introduced in
41c21f2 (branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of
refs/remotes/*) on 2013-04-21 (released in >= v1.8.3.2).

In 41c21f2 (branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of
refs/remotes/*), we changed the rules for what is considered a valid tracking
branch (a.k.a. upstream branch). We now use the configured remotes and their
refspecs to determine whether a proposed tracking branch is in fact within
the domain of a remote, and we then use that information to deduce the
upstream configuration (branch.<name>.remote and branch.<name>.merge).
However, with that change, we also check that - in addition to a matching
refspec - the result of mapping the tracking branch through that refspec
(i.e. the corresponding ref name in the remote repo) happens to start with
"refs/heads/". In other words, we require that a tracking branch refers to
a _branch_ in the remote repo.
Now, consider that you are e.g. setting up an automated building/testing
infrastructure for a group of similar "source" repositories. The build/test
infrastructure consists of a central scheduler, and a number of build/test
"slave" machines that perform the actual build/test work. The scheduler
monitors the group of similar repos for changes (e.g. with a periodic
"git fetch"), and triggers builds/tests to be run on one or more slaves.
Graphically the changes flow between the repos like this:
Source #1 -------v ----> Slave #1
/
Source #2 -----> Scheduler -----> Slave #2
\
Source #3 -------^ ----> Slave #3
... ...
The scheduler maintains a single Git repo with each of the source repos set
up as distinct remotes. The slaves also need access to all the changes from
all of the source repos, so they pull from the scheduler repo, but using the
following custom refspec:
remote.origin.fetch = "+refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/*"
This makes all of the scheduler's remote-tracking branches automatically
available as identical remote-tracking branches in each of the slaves.
Now, consider what happens if a slave tries to create a local branch with
one of the remote-tracking branches as upstream:
git branch local_branch --track refs/remotes/source-1/some_branch
Git now looks at the configured remotes (in this case there is only "origin",
pointing to the scheduler's repo) and sees refs/remotes/source-1/some_branch
matching origin's refspec. Mapping through that refspec we find that the
corresponding remote ref name is "refs/remotes/source-1/some_branch".
However, since this remote ref name does not start with "refs/heads/", we
discard it as a suitable upstream, and the whole command fails.
This patch adds a testcase demonstrating this failure by creating two
source repos ("a" and "b") that are forwarded through a scheduler ("c")
to a slave repo ("d"), that then tries create a local branch with an
upstream. See the next patch in this series for the exciting conclusion
to this story...

We're testing that trying to --track a ref that is not covered by any remote
refspec should fail. For that, we want to have refs/remotes/local/master
present, but we also want the remote.local.fetch refspec to NOT match
refs/remotes/local/master (so that the tracking setup will fail, as intended).
However, when doing "git fetch local" to ensure the existence of
refs/remotes/local/master, we must not already have changed remote.local.fetch
so as to cause refs/remotes/local/master not to be fetched. Therefore, set
remote.local.fetch to refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/local/* BEFORE we fetch, and
then reset it to refs/heads/s:refs/remotes/local/s AFTER we have fetched
(but before we test --track).

The current code for validating tracking branches (e.g. the argument to
the -t/--track option) hardcodes refs/heads/* and refs/remotes/* as the
potential locations for tracking branches. This works with the refspecs
created by "git clone" or "git remote add", but is suboptimal in other
cases:
- If "refs/remotes/foo/bar" exists without any association to a remote
(i.e. there is no remote named "foo", or no remote with a refspec
that matches "refs/remotes/foo/bar"), then it is impossible to set up
a valid upstream config that tracks it. Currently, the code defaults
to using "refs/remotes/foo/bar" from repo "." as the upstream, which
works, but is probably not what the user had in mind when running
"git branch baz --track foo/bar".
- If the user has tweaked the fetch refspec for a remote to put its
remote-tracking branches outside of refs/remotes/*, e.g. by running
git config remote.foo.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/foo_stuff/*"
then the current code will refuse to use its remote-tracking branches
as --track arguments, since they do not match refs/remotes/*.
This patch removes the "refs/remotes/*" requirement for upstream branches,
and replaces it with explicit checking of the refspecs for each remote to
determine whether a given --track argument is a valid remote-tracking
branch. This solves both of the above problems, since the matching refspec
guarantees that there is a both a remote name and a remote branch name
that can be used for the upstream config.
However, this means that refs located within refs/remotes/* without a
corresponding remote/refspec will no longer be usable as upstreams.
The few existing tests which depended on this behavioral quirk has
already been fixed in the preceding patches.
This patch fixes the last remaining test failure in t2024-checkout-dwim.
