The first line of the function checks that the remote-name contains a
slash ('/'), and sets the "slash" variable accordingly. The only caller
of read_branches_file() is remote_get_1(); the calling codepath is
guarded by valid_remote_nick(), which checks that the remote does not
contain a slash. Therefore, the "slash" variable can never be set:
remove the dead code that assumes otherwise.

Modernize the style of all tests throughout the file:
- Remove spurious blank lines.
- Indent the test body.
- Make sure that all lines end with &&, to make it easier to spot
breaks in the chain.
- When executing something in a subshell, put the parenthesis on
separate lines and indent the body. Also make sure that the
first statement in the subshell is a 'cd'.
- When redirecting input or output, do not use SP between
redirection operator and the target filename.
- Use the <<-\EOF and <<-EOF forms of heredoc, not <<EOF, when the
command is indented and the heredoc text itself does not have to
have a leading tab.

The on_committer_date helper in t/lib-t6000 is used in t6002 and
t6003 with timestamps on a single day within a single minute
(i.e. 1971-08-16 00:00) and the tests repeat this over and over.
The actual value of the timestamp, however, does not matter very
much; only their relative ordering does.
Introduce another helper to expand only the suffix of the timestamp
to a full timestamp to make the lines shorter, and use it in this
helper. Also, because all the commits in the test are made with
specific GIT_COMMITTER_DATE, stop unsetting it at the end of the
helper.
We'll be specifying the author timestamp to these test commits in a
later patch, which will be helped with this change.

test a commit with the same parent listed twice, which was allowed

Prior to commit 81d340d4, we did not print any error message
if a remote transport helper died unexpectedly. If a helper
did not print any error message (e.g., because it crashed),
the user could be left confused. That commit tried to
rectify the situation by printing a note that the helper
exited unexpectedly.
However, this makes a much more common case worse: when a
helper does die with a useful message, we print the extra
"Reading from 'git-remote-foo failed" message. This can also
end up confusing users, as they may not even know what
remote helpers are (e.g., the fact that http support comes
through git-remote-https is purely an implementation detail
that most users do not know or care about).
Since we do not have a good way of knowing whether the
helper printed a useful error, and since the common failure
mode is for it to do so, let's default to remaining quiet.
Debuggers can dig further by setting GIT_TRANSPORT_HELPER_DEBUG.

The logic for pulling into an unborn branch was originally
designed to be used on a newly-initialized repository
(d09e79c, git-pull: allow pulling into an empty repository,
2006-11-16). It thus did not initially deal with
uncommitted changes in the unborn branch. The case of an
_unstaged_ untracked file was fixed by 4b3ffe5 (pull: do not
clobber untracked files on initial pull, 2011-03-25).
However, it still clobbered existing staged files, both when
the file exists in the merged commit (it will be
overwritten), and when it does not (it will be deleted).
We fix this by doing a two-way merge, where the "current"
side of the merge is an empty tree, and the "target" side is
HEAD (already updated to FETCH_HEAD at this point). This
amounts to claiming that all work in the index was done vs.
an empty tree, and thus all content of the index is
precious.
Note that this use of read-tree just gives us protection
against overwriting index and working tree changes. It will
not actually result in a 3-way merge conflict in the index.
This is fine, as this is a rare situation, and the conflict
would not be interesting anyway (it must, by definition, be
an add/add conflict with the whole content conflicting). And
it makes it simpler for the user to recover, as they have no
HEAD to "git reset" back to.

When commit d09e79c taught git to pull into an unborn
branch, it first updated the unborn branch to point at the
pulled commit, and then used read-tree to update the index
and working tree. That ordering made sense, since any
failure of the latter step would be due to filesystem
errors, and one could then recover with "git reset --hard".
Later, commit 4b3ffe5 added extra safety for existing files
in the working tree by asking read-tree to bail out when it
would overwrite such a file. This error mode is much less
"your pull failed due to random errors" and more like "we
reject this pull because it would lose data". In that case,
it makes sense not to update the HEAD ref, just as a regular
rejected merge would do.
This patch reverses the order of the update-ref and
read-tree calls, so that we do not touch the HEAD ref at all if a
merge is rejected. This also means that we would not update
HEAD in case of a transient filesystem error, but those are
presumably less rare (and one can still recover by repeating
the pull, or by accessing FETCH_HEAD directly).
While we're reorganizing the code, we can drop the "exit 1"
from the end of our command chain. We exit immediately
either way, and just calling exit without an argument will
use the exit code from the last command.

If we are iterating through the refs using for_each_ref (or
any of its sister functions), we can get into a race
condition with a simultaneous "pack-refs --prune" that looks
like this:
0. We have a large number of loose refs, and a few packed
refs. refs/heads/z/foo is loose, with no matching entry
in the packed-refs file.
1. Process A starts iterating through the refs. It loads
the packed-refs file from disk, then starts lazily
traversing through the loose ref directories.
2. Process B, running "pack-refs --prune", writes out the
new packed-refs file. It then deletes the newly packed
refs, including refs/heads/z/foo.
3. Meanwhile, process A has finally gotten to
refs/heads/z (it traverses alphabetically). It
descends, but finds nothing there. It checks its
cached view of the packed-refs file, but it does not
mention anything in "refs/heads/z/" at all (it predates
the new file written by B in step 2).
The traversal completes successfully without mentioning
refs/heads/z/foo at all (the name, of course, isn't
important; but the more refs you have and the farther down
the alphabetical list a ref is, the more likely it is to hit
the race). If refs/heads/z/foo did exist in the packed refs
file at state 0, we would see an entry for it, but it would
show whatever sha1 the ref had the last time it was packed
(which could be an arbitrarily long time ago).
This can be especially dangerous when process A is "git
prune", as it means our set of reachable tips will be
incomplete, and we may erroneously prune objects reachable
from that tip (the same thing can happen if "repack -ad" is
used, as it simply drops unreachable objects that are
packed).
This patch solves it by loading all of the loose refs for
our traversal into our in-memory cache, and then refreshing
the packed-refs cache. Because a pack-refs writer will
always put the new packed-refs file into place before
starting the prune, we know that any loose refs we fail to
see will either truly be missing, or will have already been
put in the packed-refs file by the time we refresh.

Once we read the packed-refs file into memory, we cache it
to save work on future ref lookups. However, our cache may
be out of date with respect to what is on disk if another
process is simultaneously packing the refs. Normally it
is acceptable for us to be a little out of date, since there
is no guarantee whether we read the file before or after the
simultaneous update. However, there is an important special
case: our packed-refs file must be up to date with respect
to any loose refs we read. Otherwise, we risk the following
race condition:
0. There exists a loose ref refs/heads/master.
1. Process A starts and looks up the ref "master". It
first checks $GIT_DIR/master, which does not exist. It
then loads (and caches) the packed-refs file to see if
"master" exists in it, which it does not.
2. Meanwhile, process B runs "pack-refs --all --prune". It
creates a new packed-refs file which contains
refs/heads/master, and removes the loose copy at
$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master.
3. Process A continues its lookup, and eventually tries
$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master. It sees that the loose ref
is missing, and falls back to the packed-refs file. But
it examines its cached version, which does not have
refs/heads/master. After trying a few other prefixes,
it reports master as a non-existent ref.
There are many variants (e.g., step 1 may involve process A
looking up another ref entirely, so even a fully qualified
refname can fail). One of the most interesting ones is if
"refs/heads/master" is already packed. In that case process
A will not see it as missing, but rather will report
whatever value happened to be in the packed-refs file before
process B repacked (which might be an arbitrarily old
value).
We can fix this by making sure we reload the packed-refs
file from disk after looking at any loose refs. That's
unacceptably slow, so we can check its stat()-validity as a
proxy, and read it only when it appears to have changed.
Reading the packed-refs file after performing any loose-ref
system calls is sufficient because we know the ordering of
the pack-refs process: it always makes sure the newly
written packed-refs file is installed into place before
pruning any loose refs. As long as those operations by B
appear in their executed order to process A, by the time A
sees the missing loose ref, the new packed-refs file must be
in place.

It can sometimes be useful to know whether a path in the
filesystem has been updated without going to the work of
opening and re-reading its content. We trust the stat()
information on disk already to handle index updates, and we

This patch introduces a "stat_validity" struct which
