One of the tricks that `contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir` plays is to
making `packed-refs` in the new workdir a symlink to the `packed-refs`
file in the original repository. Before
42dfa7ecef ("commit_packed_refs(): use a staging file separate from
the lockfile", 2017-06-23), a lockfile was used as the staging file,
and because the `LOCK_NO_DEREF` was not used, the pointed-to file was
locked and modified.
But after that commit, the staging file was created using a tempfile,
with the end result that rewriting the `packed-refs` file in the
workdir overwrote the symlink rather than the original `packed-refs`
file.
Change `commit_packed_refs()` to use `get_locked_file_path()` to find
the path of the file that it should overwrite. Since that path was
properly resolved when the lockfile was created, this restores the
pre-42dfa7ecef behavior.
Also add a test case to document this use case and prevent a
regression like this from recurring.

The old code ignored any lines that it didn't understand, including
unterminated lines. This is dangerous. Instead, `die()` if the
`packed-refs` file contains any unterminated lines or lines that we
don't know how to handle.
This fixes the tests added in the last commit.

If `packed-refs` contains indecipherable lines, we should emit an
error and quit rather than just skipping the lines. Unfortunately, we
currently do the latter. Add some failing tests demonstrating the
problem.
This will be fixed in the next commit.

The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.
The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.
The patch was generated by:
for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh")
do
perl -i -pe 'BEGIN{undef $/;} s/`(.+?)`/\$(\1)/smg' "${_f}"
done
and then carefully proof-read.

We need the place we stick refs for bisects in progress to not be
shared between worktrees. So we make the refs/bisect/ hierarchy
per-worktree.
The is_per_worktree_ref function and associated docs learn that
refs/bisect/ is per-worktree, as does the git_path code in path.c
The ref-packing functions learn that per-worktree refs should not be
packed (since packed-refs is common rather than per-worktree).
Since refs/bisect is per-worktree, logs/refs/bisect should be too.

Tests that assume how reflogs are represented on the filesystem too
much have been corrected.
* dt/reflog-tests:
tests: remove some direct access to .git/logs
t/t7509: remove unnecessary manipulation of reflog
|
|
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
remove not just reflog contents, but the reflogs themselves. All cases
which don't need direct access have been modified.

Currently, there is only one attempt to acquire any lockfile, and if
the lock is held by another process, the locking attempt fails
immediately.
This is not such a limitation for loose reference files. First, they
don't take long to rewrite. Second, most reference updates have a
known "old" value, so if another process is updating a reference at
the same moment that we are trying to lock it, then probably the
expected "old" value will not longer be valid, and the update will
fail anyway.
But these arguments do not hold for packed-refs:
* The packed-refs file can be large and take significant time to
rewrite.
* Many references are stored in a single packed-refs file, so it could
be that the other process was changing a different reference than
the one that we are interested in.
Therefore, it is much more likely for there to be spurious lock
conflicts in connection to the packed-refs file, resulting in
unnecessary command failures.
So, if the first attempt to lock the packed-refs file fails, continue
retrying for a configurable length of time before giving up. The
default timeout is 1 second.

Optimize the check to see if a ref $F can be created by making sure
no existing ref has $F/ as its prefix, which especially matters in
a repository with a large number of existing refs.
* jk/faster-name-conflicts:
refs: speed up is_refname_available
|

Our filesystem ref storage does not allow D/F conflicts; so
if "refs/heads/a/b" exists, we do not allow "refs/heads/a"
to exist (and vice versa). This falls out naturally for
loose refs, where the filesystem enforces the condition. But
for packed-refs, we have to make the check ourselves.
We do so by iterating over the entire packed-refs namespace
and checking whether each name creates a conflict. If you
have a very large number of refs, this is quite inefficient,
as you end up doing a large number of comparisons with
uninteresting bits of the ref tree (e.g., we know that all
of "refs/tags" is uninteresting in the example above, yet we
check each entry in it).
Instead, let's take advantage of the fact that we have the
packed refs stored as a trie of ref_entry structs. We can
find each component of the proposed refname as we walk
through the trie, checking for D/F conflicts as we go. For a
refname of depth N (i.e., 4 in the above example), we only
have to visit N nodes. And at each visit, we can binary
search the M names at that level, for a total complexity of
O(N lg M). ("M" is different at each level, of course, but
we can take the worst-case "M" as a bound).
In a pathological case of fetching 30,000 fresh refs into a
repository with 8.5 million refs, this dropped the time to
run "git fetch" from tens of minutes to ~30s.
This may also help smaller cases in which we check against
loose refs (which we do when renaming a ref), as we may
avoid a disk access for unrelated loose directories.
Note that the tests we add appear at first glance to be
redundant with what is already in t3210. However, the early
tests are not robust; they are run with reflogs turned on,
meaning that we are not actually testing
is_refname_available at all! The operations will still fail
because the reflogs will hit D/F conflicts in the
filesystem. To get a true test, we must turn off reflogs
(but we don't want to do so for the entire script, because
the point of turning them on was to cover some other cases).

After we have packed all refs, we prune any loose refs that
correspond to what we packed. We do so by first taking a
lock with lock_ref_sha1, and then deleting the loose ref
file.
However, lock_ref_sha1 will refuse to take a lock on any
refs that exist at the top-level of the "refs/" directory,
and we skip pruning the ref. This is almost certainly not
what we want to happen here. The criteria to be pruned
should not differ from that to be packed; if a ref makes it
to prune_ref, it's because we want it both packed and
pruned (if there are refs you do not want to be packed, they
should be omitted much earlier by pack_ref_is_possible,
which we do in this case if --all is not given).
We can fix this by switching to lock_any_ref_for_update.
This behaves exactly the same with the exception of this
top-level check.

Stop emitting an error message when deleting a packed reference if we
find another dangling packed reference that is overridden by a loose
reference. See the previous commit for a longer explanation of the
issue.
We have to be careful to make sure that the invalid packed reference
really *is* overridden by a loose reference; otherwise what we have
found is repository corruption, which we *should* report.
Please note that this approach is vulnerable to a race condition
similar to the race conditions already known to affect packed
references [1]:
* Process 1 tries to peel packed reference X as part of deleting
another packed reference. It discovers that X does not refer to a
valid object (because the object that it referred to has been
garbage collected).
* Process 2 tries to delete reference X. It starts by deleting the
loose reference X.
* Process 1 checks whether there is a loose reference X. There is not
(it has just been deleted by process 2), so process 1 reports a
spurious error "X does not point to a valid object!"
The worst case seems relatively harmless, and the fix is identical to
the fix that will be needed for the other race conditions (namely
holding a lock on the packed-refs file during *all* reference
deletions), so we leave the cleaning up of all of them as a future
project.

A packed reference can be overridden by a loose reference, in which
case the packed reference is obsolete and is never used. The object
pointed to by such a reference can be garbage collected. Since
d66da478f2, this could lead to the emission of a spurious error
message:
error: refs/heads/master does not point to a valid object!
The error is generated by repack_without_ref() if there is an obsolete
dangling packed reference in packed-refs when the packed-refs file has
to be rewritten due to the deletion of another packed reference. Add
a failing test demonstrating this problem and some passing tests of
related scenarios.

In tests, call test_cmp rather than raw diff where possible (i.e. if
the output does not go to a pipe), to allow the use of, say, 'cmp'
when the default 'diff -u' is not compatible with a vendor diff.
When that is not possible, use $DIFF, as set in GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS.

This patch changes every occurrence of "! git" -- with the meaning
that a git call has to gracefully fail -- into "test_must_fail git".
This is useful to
- make sure the test does not fail because of a signal,
e.g. SIGSEGV, and
- advertise the use of "test_must_fail" for new tests.

Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite
of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision. Most tests
run a series of commands that leads to the single command that
needs to be tested, like this:
test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
what is to be tested
'
And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the
point of writing tests. Your setup$N that are supposed to
succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are
trying to test. The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to
check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which
is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands.
This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to
use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is
tested, like this:
test_expect_success 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
! this command should fail
'
test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that
that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it
currently does not pass. So if git-foo command should create a
file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can
write a test like this:
test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' '
rm -f bar &&
git foo &&
test -f bar
'
This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead
of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the
outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

Do *NOT* try this on a repository you care about:
git pack-refs --all --prune
git pack-refs
because while the first "pack-refs" does the right thing, the second
pack-refs will totally screw you over.
This is because the second one tries to pack only tags; we should
also pack what are already packed -- otherwise we would lose them.

This changes 'git-pack-refs' to pack only tags by default.
Branches are meant to be updated, either by committing onto it
yourself or tracking remote branches, and packed entries can
become stale easily, but tags are usually "create once and live
forever" and benefit more from packing.
