2019-08-22transport: teach all vtables to allow fetch firstLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-6/+0
The only transport that does not allow fetch() to be called before get_refs_list() is the bundle transport. Clean up the code by teaching the bundle transport the ability to do this, and removing support for transports that don't support this order of invocation.

2018-10-07transport: list refs before fetch if necessaryLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-0/+6
The built-in bundle transport and the transport helper interface do not work when transport_fetch_refs() is called immediately after transport creation. This will be needed in a subsequent patch, so fix this. Evidence: fetch_refs_from_bundle() relies on data->header being initialized in get_refs_from_bundle(), and fetch() in transport-helper.c relies on either data->fetch or data->import being set by get_helper(), but neither transport_helper_init() nor fetch() calls get_helper(). Up until the introduction of the partial clone feature, this has not been a problem, because transport_fetch_refs() is always called after transport_get_remote_refs(). With the introduction of the partial clone feature, which involves calling transport_fetch_refs() (to fetch objects by their OIDs) without transport_get_remote_refs(), this is still not a problem, but only coincidentally - we do not support partially cloning a bundle, and as for cloning using a transport-helper-using protocol, it so happens that before transport_fetch_refs() is called, fetch_refs() in fetch-object.c calls transport_set_option(), which means that the aforementioned get_helper() is invoked through set_helper_option() in transport-helper.c. This could be fixed by fixing the transports themselves, but it doesn't seem like a good idea to me to open up previously untested code paths; also, there may be transport helpers in the wild that assume that "list" is always called before "fetch". Instead, fix this by having transport_fetch_refs() call transport_get_remote_refs() to ensure that the latter is always called at least once, unless the transport explicitly states that it supports fetching without listing refs.

2018-08-01fetch-pack: unify ref in and out paramLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-8/+1
When a user fetches: - at least one up-to-date ref and at least one non-up-to-date ref, - using HTTP with protocol v0 (or something else that uses the fetch command of a remote helper) some refs might not be updated after the fetch. This bug was introduced in commit 989b8c4452 ("fetch-pack: put shallow info in output parameter", 2018-06-28) which allowed transports to report the refs that they have fetched in a new out-parameter "fetched_refs". If they do so, transport_fetch_refs() makes this information available to its caller. Users of "fetched_refs" rely on the following 3 properties: (1) it is the complete list of refs that was passed to transport_fetch_refs(), (2) it has shallow information (REF_STATUS_REJECT_SHALLOW set if relevant), and (3) it has updated OIDs if ref-in-want was used (introduced after 989b8c4452). In an effort to satisfy (1), whenever transport_fetch_refs() filters the refs sent to the transport, it re-adds the filtered refs to whatever the transport supplies before returning it to the user. However, the implementation in 989b8c4452 unconditionally re-adds the filtered refs without checking if the transport refrained from reporting anything in "fetched_refs" (which it is allowed to do), resulting in an incomplete list, no longer satisfying (1). An earlier effort to resolve this [1] solved the issue by readding the filtered refs only if the transport did not refrain from reporting in "fetched_refs", but after further discussion, it seems that the better solution is to revert the API change that introduced "fetched_refs". This API change was first suggested as part of a ref-in-want implementation that allowed for ref patterns and, thus, there could be drastic differences between the input refs and the refs actually fetched [2]; we eventually decided to only allow exact ref names, but this API change remained even though its necessity was decreased. Therefore, revert this API change by reverting commit 989b8c4452, and make receive_wanted_refs() update the OIDs in the sought array (like how update_shallow() updates shallow information in the sought array) instead. A test is also included to show that the user-visible bug discussed at the beginning of this commit message no longer exists.

2018-06-28fetch-pack: put shallow info in output parameterLibravatar Brandon Williams1-1/+8
Expand the transport fetch method signature, by adding an output parameter, to allow transports to return information about the refs they have fetched. Then communicate shallow status information through this mechanism instead of by modifying the input list of refs. This does require clients to sometimes generate the ref map twice: once from the list of refs provided by the remote (as is currently done) and potentially once from the new list of refs that the fetch mechanism provides.

2018-03-15transport: convert get_refs_list to take a list of ref prefixesLibravatar Brandon Williams1-1/+10
Convert the 'struct transport' virtual function 'get_refs_list()' to optionally take an argv_array of ref prefixes. When communicating with a server using protocol v2 these ref prefixes can be sent when requesting a listing of their refs allowing the server to filter the refs it sends based on the sent prefixes. This list will be ignored when not using protocol v2. Signed-off-by: Brandon Williams <bmwill@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-12-14transport: make transport vtable more privateLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-0/+61
Move the definition of the transport-specific functions provided by transports, whether declared in transport.c or transport-helper.c, into an internal header. This means that transport-using code (as opposed to transport-declaring code) can no longer access these functions (without importing the internal header themselves), making it clear that they should use the transport_*() functions instead, and also allowing the interface between the transport mechanism and an individual transport to independently evolve. This is superficially a reversal of commit 824d5776c3f2 ("Refactor struct transport_ops inlined into struct transport", 2007-09-19). However, the scope of the involved variables was neither affected nor discussed in that commit, and I think that the advantages in making those functions more private outweigh the advantages described in that commit's commit message. A minor additional point is that the code has gotten more complicated since then, in that the function-pointer variables are potentially mutated twice (once initially and once if transport_take_over() is invoked), increasing the value of corralling them into their own struct.
