Harald Nordgren d1d403ccff branch: add --dry-run for --delete-merged

Harald Nordgren 4ef02bc803 branch: add branch.<name>.deleteMerged opt-out
Setting branch.<name>.deleteMerged=false exempts that branch from
"git branch --delete-merged", which is useful for a topic you want
to keep developing after an early round of it has been merged
upstream. Unless --quiet is given, each skip is reported so the
user knows why their topic was kept.

Explicit deletion with "git branch -d" still uses the normal merge
check and ignores this setting.

Harald Nordgren 75403cb3a4 branch: add --delete-merged <branch>
git branch (--delete-merged <branch>)... [<pattern>...]

deletes local branches matching the optional patterns when their
configured upstream matches one of the --delete-merged arguments and
their tip is reachable from that upstream. The work has already landed
on the upstream they track, so the local copy is no longer needed.

The option can be repeated to widen the upstream match. Keeping the
candidate patterns as positional arguments lets users bound the set of
local branches that may be deleted independently of the upstream
selection.

A branch is not deleted when:

  * it is checked out in any worktree
  * its configured upstream ref no longer exists, since a missing
    upstream is not by itself a sign of integration
  * pushing it by name to the remote configured by
    branch.<name>.remote would update its upstream, as determined by
    mapping the branch ref through that remote's fetch refspec. For
    example, a local "main" that tracks "origin/main" is kept even when
    remote.pushDefault names a fork. Right after a pull it merely looks
    fully merged.

A branch whose work is not yet merged into its upstream is silently
skipped, so one unmerged topic does not abort the whole sweep.

A branch that a surviving branch depends on through a chain of local
upstreams is also kept, so no branch is deleted out from under stacked
work. Collect this transitive set without changing the candidate set
during ref iteration: walk upstream chains from surviving branches,
visit each branch at most once, and remove the collected bases only
after the iteration completes. This makes the result independent of
ref iteration order without repeated full scans.

delete_branches() takes separate force and quiet parameters, while
check_branch_commit() takes force. The next commits would grow this

Harald Nordgren 9be810b2a3 branch: add --forked filter for --list mode
Add a --forked option to "git branch" list mode that lists only
branches whose configured upstream matches <branch>. The argument
can be a ref (e.g. "origin/main", "master"), a remote name like
"origin" for the branch its origin/HEAD points at, or a shell glob
(e.g. "origin/*"), and may be repeated to widen the filter.

It is an ordinary list filter, so it combines with the others:

    git branch --merged origin/main --forked 'origin/*'

lists branches forked from origin that are already merged into
origin/main, and --no-merged inverts the question.

This is the building block for --delete-merged, which deletes the
listed branches once they have landed on their upstream.

Junio C Hamano dcef3bf041 remote: plug memory leaks
The in-core data structure used to keep track of
'url.<real>.{insteadOf,pushInsteadOf} = <alias>' settings is not
properly cleaned up when the process is done with it.

'struct rewrites' is embedded in 'remote_state' and serves as the
top level of the rewrite data.  This holds an array of a variable
number of pointers to 'struct rewrite' allocated individually on the
heap.  Each 'struct rewrite' holds a '.base' string and an array of
'struct counted_string' called '.instead_of', which is allocated
contiguously on the heap.  Each 'struct counted_string' has a
pointer to a string allocated on the heap.

Amid these pointers, rewrites_release() fails to free everything
other than 'struct rewrite''s '.base' member and the 'struct rewrite'
instances themselves.

Fix rewrites_release() to also free the contiguous array storing
'.instead_of', the string pointers within each '.instead_of' element,
and each 'struct rewrite' instance individually allocated on the heap.

Adrian Friedli 1034ad383f builtin/clone: fix segfault when using --revision with protocol v0
Servers supporting protocol v2 do not advertise excess refs and honor
`transport_ls_refs_options.ref_prefixes` when

    $ git clone --revision=refs/heads/main $URL

contacts them, but when talking to a server that does not support
protocol v2 the client segfaults. This can also be observed when v0 is
enforced for example by

    $ git -c protocol.version=0 clone --revision=refs/heads/main $URL

In the protocol v2 case the server honors
`transport_ls_refs_options.ref_prefixes` and in `cmd_clone()` the linked
list `refs` returned by `transport_get_remote_refs()` only contains a
single item, which is the ref requested with the --revision argument.
Both `remote_head` returned by `find_ref_by_name()` and
`remote_head_points_at` returned by `guess_remote_head()` are NULL. The
guard in `update_remote_refs()` skips a the affected code because
`remote_head_points_at` is NULL.

In the protocol v0 case in `cmd_clone()` the linked list `refs` returned
by `transport_get_remote_refs()` contains many items, amongst others
"HEAD". `remote_head` returned by `find_ref_by_name()` is not NULL and
`remote_head_points_at` returned by `guess_remote_head()` is not NULL
but its field `peer_ref` is NULL. Because `remote_head_points_at` is not
NULL the guard in `update_remote_refs()` does not skip the affected code
and `remote_head_points_at->peer_ref->name` is accessed, which causes a
segfault later on.

Pablo Sabater dd1968bf84 cat-file: make remote-object-info allow-list adapt to the server
The static allow-list in expand_atom() is hardcoded to allow only
"objectname" and "objectsize" for remote queries. This works because,
up to this point, servers will either support object-info with name
and size or they do not support them at all.

As object-info gains new capabilities, we cannot expect different
servers with different Git versions to have the same object-info
capabilities. Therefore, the client needs to adapt its allow-list to
what the server advertises.

The client now:

1. Requests the protocol option that the placeholder refers to (i.e.
   "size" for "%(objectsize)").

2. Drops any requested option that the server does not advertise in
   fetch_object_info().

3. Maps the remaining advertised options back to their placeholders and
   populates remote_allowed_atoms.

4. Uses remote_allowed_atoms in expand_atom(), preserving the previous
   behavior for supported placeholders.

For example, if the client requests "%(objectsize) %(objecttype)" and
the server only supports 'size', then the client only requests 'size'.
The server returns the size (i.e "42") "%(objectsize)" is expanded
normally while "%(objecttype)" expands to an empty string:

	"42 "

Note that the empty string expansion is only for known but unsupported
placeholders. "%(objectcolor)" which doesn't exist would die().

This honors what for-each-ref does for known but inapplicable atoms
(placeholders).

Move object_info_options out of get_remote_info() so the caller which
has data can select what options will be requested instead of requesting
always size.

Move batch_object_write() out so output is always produced.
If there are no supported attributes, the output is a blank line.

Include "type" in the object_info_options even though the client does
not yet know how to parse the server's "type" capability.

As a result, "type" is always filtered out, allowing the tests to verify
that known but unsupported placeholders expand to an empty string.

Since the filter removes options by swapping with the last element,
the list is no longer kept sorted. Drop the pre-sort in
fetch_object_info_via_pack() and use the unsorted string_list lookup
for the response header. This has no effect in performance as the list
can only be two entries long ('size' and 'type').

Eric Ju 0ae93f56ec cat-file: add remote-object-info to batch-command
Since the info command in cat-file --batch-command prints object
info for a given object, it is natural to add another command in
cat-file --batch-command to print object info for a given object
from a remote.

Add remote-object-info command to cat-file --batch-command.

While info takes object ids one at a time, this creates overhead when
making requests to a server. So remote-object-info instead can take
multiple object ids at once.

The cat-file --batch-command command is generally implemented in the
following manner:

 - Receive and parse input from user
 - Call respective function attached to command
 - Get object info, print object info

In --buffer mode, this changes to:

 - Receive and parse input from user
 - Store respective function attached to command in a queue
 - After flush, loop through commands in queue
    - Call respective function attached to command
    - Get object info, print object info

Notice how the getting and printing of object info is accomplished one
at a time. As described above, this creates a problem for making
requests to a server. Therefore, remote-object-info is implemented in
the following manner:

 - Receive and parse input from user
 If command is remote-object-info:
    - Get object info from remote
    - Loop through and print each object info
 Else:
    - Call respective function attached to command
    - Parse input, get object info, print object info

And finally for --buffer mode remote-object-info:
 - Receive and parse input from user
 - Store respective function attached to command in a queue
 - After flush, loop through commands in queue:
    If command is remote-object-info:
        - Get object info from remote
        - Loop through and print each object info
    Else:
        - Call respective function attached to command
        - Get object info, print object info

To summarize, remote-object-info gets object info from the remote and
then loops through the object info passed in, printing the info.

In order for remote-object-info to avoid remote communication
overhead in the non-buffer mode, the objects are passed in as such:

remote-object-info <remote> <oid> <oid> ... <oid>

rather than

remote-object-info <remote> <oid>
remote-object-info <remote> <oid>
...
remote-object-info <remote> <oid>

Placeholders in the format are validated against an allow-list of the
atoms the remote path supports: "objectname" and "objectsize".
Unsupported atoms expand to an empty string, honoring how for-each-ref
handles known but inapplicable atoms.
Without this, atoms like %(objecttype) would mark data->info.typep and
because the server only sends size, type_name() would later crash.
As extra safety, even outside of the remote path, initialize
expand_data's type to OBJ_BAD and handle type_name() returning NULL.

Calvin Wan 12a19eec1d transport: add client support for object-info
Sometimes, it is beneficial to retrieve information about an object
without downloading it entirely. The server-side logic for this
functionality was implemented in commit "a2ba162cda (object-info:
support for retrieving object info, 2021-04-20)." And the wire
format is documented at
https://git-scm.com/docs/protocol-v2#_object_info.

Introduce client-side support for the object-info capability.

Add its own function for object-info separate from existing fetch
infrastructure.

Currently, the client supports requesting a list of OIDs with the size
attribute from a v2 server. If the server does not advertise this
feature (i.e., transfer.advertiseobjectinfo is set to false), the client
returns an error and exits.

Note that:

1. The entire request is written into req_buf before being sent to the
   remote. This approach follows the pattern used in the
   send_fetch_request() logic within 'fetch-pack.c'. Streaming the
   request is not addressed in this patch.

2. A new field 'unrecognized' has been added to object_info. This new
   field is set at fetch_object_info() when the object is unrecognized
   by the server.

Calvin Wan 7dcbd35a12 serve: advertise object-info feature
In order for a client to know what object-info components a server can
provide, advertise supported object-info features. This allows a client
to decide whether to query the server for object-info or fetch as a
fallback.

Pablo Sabater e44aca6145 protocol-caps: check object existence regardless of the attributes requested
Currently, send_info() only checks for existence when the attribute
'size' is also requested. Requesting a bare OID, without attributes only
echoes back the OID.

Extract the existence check to be done regardless of the number of
attributes requested.

While at it, introduce a wrapper called get_object_info() similar to
odb_read_object_info() that returns OBJ_BAD on fail and adds
OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT and OBJECT_INFO_QUICK flags.
OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT is so a server with a partial clone
doesn't trigger fetching objects when it gets an object-info request
with an OID that is not available locally. A server should only report
what it has locally.

Tighten the condition used to determine whether an object is
recognized. get_object_info() returns OBJ_BAD for unknown objects,
but OBJ_NONE (0) can also mean "not found". Change the check from '< 0'
to '<= OBJ_NONE' to cover both as unrecognized.

With this patch, a bare OID has two possible responses:

1. Recognized OID: the server answers with "<OID>"

2. Unrecognized OID: the server answers with "<OID> SP"

Update the object-info section in 'gitprotocol-v2.adoc':
- Require full obj-oid explicitly.
- Fix parentheses.
- Define obj-size explicitly.
- Make obj-size optional in obj-info and document the behavior
  for unrecognized object IDs.
- Describe the attr header as zero or more pkt-lines, one per attribute,
  matching what the server implements. A request with no attributes gets
  no header.

Calvin Wan 24f082e6f4 fetch-pack: move fetch initialization
There are some variables initialized at the start of the
do_fetch_pack_v2() state machine. Currently, they are initialized in
FETCH_CHECK_LOCAL, which is the initial state set at the beginning
of the function.

However, a subsequent patch will allow for another initial state,
while still requiring these initialized variables.
Move the initialization to be before the state machine,
so that they are set regardless of the initial state.

Note that there is no change in behavior, because we're moving code
from the beginning of the first state to just before the execution of
the state machine.

Pablo Sabater eb1fbc64b7 connect: make write_fetch_command_and_capabilities() more generic
Refactor write_fetch_command_and_capabilities(), enabling it to serve
both fetch and additional commands.

In this context, "command" refers to the "operations" supported by
Git's wire protocol Documentation/gitprotocol-v2.adoc, such as a Git
subcommand (e.g., git-fetch(1)) or a server-side operation like
"object-info" as implemented in commit a2ba162cda
(object-info: support for retrieving object info, 2021-04-20).

Refactor the function signature to accept a command instead of the
hardcoded "fetch".

Pablo Sabater 40865f70d4 fetch-pack: move write_fetch_command_and_capabilities() to connect.c
In a subsequent commit write_fetch_command_and_capabilities() will be
refactored to a more general-purpose function, making it more accessible
to additional commands in the future.

Move write_fetch_command_and_capabilities() to 'connect.c', where
there are similar purpose functions.

Because string_list is only used as a pointer, use a forward
declaration [1].
