Ever since a64215b6cd ("object.h: stop depending on cache.h; make
cache.h depend on object.h", 2023-02-24), we have a few headers that
could have replaced their include of cache.h with an include of
object.h. Make that change now.
Some C files had to start including cache.h after this change (or some
smaller header it had brought in), because the C files were depending
on things from cache.h but were only formerly implicitly getting
cache.h through one of these headers being modified in this patch.

We had several C files ignoring the rule to include one of the
appropriate headers first; fix that.
While at it, the rule in Documentation/CodingGuidelines about which
header to include has also fallen out of sync, so update the wording to
mention other allowed headers.
Unfortunately, C files in reftable/ don't actually follow the previous
or updated rule. If you follow the #include chain in its C files,
reftable/system.h _tends_ to be first (i.e. record.c first includes
record.h, which first includes basics.h, which first includees
system.h), but not always (e.g. publicbasics.c includes another header
first that does not include system.h). However, I'm going to punt on
making actual changes to the C files in reftable/ since I do not want to
risk bringing it out-of-sync with any version being used externally.

refs: fix corruption by not correctly syncing packed-refs to disk
At GitLab we have recently received a report where a repository was left
with a corrupted `packed-refs` file after the node hard-crashed even
though `core.fsync=reference` was set. This is something that in theory
should not happen if we correctly did the atomic-rename dance to:
1. Write the data into a temporary file.
2. Synchronize the temporary file to disk.
3. Rename the temporary file into place.
So if we crash in the middle of writing the `packed-refs` file we should
only ever see either the old or the new state of the file.
And while we do the dance when writing the `packed-refs` file, there is
indeed one gotcha: we use a `FILE *` stream to write the temporary file,
but don't flush it before synchronizing it to disk. As a consequence any
data that is still buffered will not get synchronized and a crash of the
machine may cause corruption.
Fix this bug by flushing the file stream before we fsync.

The logic to handle worktree refs (worktrees/NAME/REF and
main-worktree/REF) existed in two places:
* ref_type() in refs.c
* parse_worktree_ref() in worktree.c
Collapse this logic together in one function parse_worktree_ref():
this avoids having to cross-check the result of parse_worktree_ref()
and ref_type().
Introduce enum ref_worktree_type, which is slightly different from
enum ref_type. The latter is a misleading name (one would think that
'ref_type' would have the symref option).
Instead, enum ref_worktree_type only makes explicit how a refname
relates to a worktree. From this point of view, HEAD and
refs/bisect/abc are the same: they specify the current worktree
implicitly.
The files-backend must avoid packing refs/bisect/* and friends into
packed-refs, so expose is_per_worktree_ref() separately.

In cd475b3b03 (refs: add ability for backends to special-case reading
of symbolic refs, 2022-03-01) when the "read_symbolic_ref" callback
was added we'd fall back on "refs_read_raw_ref" if there wasn't any
backend implementation of "read_symbolic_ref".
As discussed in the preceding commit this would only happen if we were
running the "debug" backend, e.g. in the "setup for ref completion"
test in t9902-completion.sh with:
GIT_TRACE_REFS=1 git fetch --no-tags other
Let's improve the trace output, but and also eliminate the
now-redundant refs_read_raw_ref() fallback case. As noted in the
preceding commit the "packed" backend will never call
refs_read_symbolic_ref() (nor is it ever going to). For any future
backend such as reftable it's OK to ask that they either implement
this (or a wrapper) themselves.

Remove the stub BUG(...) functions previously used by the "struct
ref_storage_be refs_be_packed" backend.
We never call any functions in the packed backend by using it as a
"normal" primary ref store, instead we'll always initialize a "files"
backend ref-store.
It will then via the "packed_ref_store" member of "struct
files_ref_store" call selected functions in the "packed" backend, and
we'll in addition call others via wrappers in refs.c.
So while these would arguably give us *slightly* more meaningful error
messages we'll NULL the missing members in the initializer anyway, so
we'll reliably get a segfault if we're ever changing the backend and
having it call something it doesn't have.
So there's no need for this verbose boilerplate, and as shown in a
subsequent commit it might even lead to some confusion about the
packed backend being a "real" backend. Let's make it clear that it's
not.

When writing both loose and packed references to disk we first create a
lockfile, write the updated values into that lockfile, and on commit we
rename the file into place. According to filesystem developers, this
behaviour is broken because applications should always sync data to disk
before doing the final rename to ensure data consistency [1][2][3]. If
applications fail to do this correctly, a hard crash of the machine can
easily result in corrupted on-disk data.
This kind of corruption can in fact be easily observed with Git when the
machine hard-resets shortly after writing references to disk. On
machines with ext4, this will likely lead to the "empty files" problem:
the file has been renamed, but its data has not been synced to disk. The
result is that the reference is corrupt, and in the worst case this can
lead to data loss.
Implement a new option to harden references so that users and admins can
avoid this scenario by syncing locked loose and packed references to
disk before we rename them into place.

When reading references via `files_read_raw_ref()` we always consult
both the loose reference, and if that wasn't found, we also consult the
packed-refs file. While this makes sense to read a generic reference, it
is wasteful in the case where we only care about symbolic references:
the packed-refs backend does not support them, and thus it cannot ever
return one for us.
Special-case reading of symbolic references for the files backend such
that we always skip asking the packed-refs backend.
We use `refs_read_symbolic_ref()` extensively to determine whether we
need to skip updating local symbolic references during a fetch, which is
why the change results in a significant speedup when doing fetches in
repositories with huge numbers of references. The following benchmark

Reading of symbolic and non-symbolic references is currently treated the
same in reference backends: we always call `refs_read_raw_ref()` and
then decide based on the returned flags what type it is. This has one
downside though: symbolic references may be treated different from
normal references in a backend from normal references. The packed-refs
backend for example doesn't even know about symbolic references, and as
a result it is pointless to even ask it for one.
There are cases where we really only care about whether a reference is
symbolic or not, but don't care about whether it exists at all or may be
a non-symbolic reference. But it is not possible to optimize for this
case right now, and as a consequence we will always first check for a
loose reference to exist, and if it doesn't, we'll query the packed-refs
backend for a known-to-not-be-symbolic reference. This is inefficient
and requires us to search all packed references even though we know to
not care for the result at all.
Introduce a new function `refs_read_symbolic_ref()` which allows us to
fix this case. This function will only ever return symbolic references
and can thus optimize for the scenario layed out above. By default, if
the backend doesn't provide an implementation for it, we just use the
old code path and fall back to `read_raw_ref()`. But in case the backend
provides its own, more efficient implementation, we will use that one
instead.
Note that this function is explicitly designed to not distinguish
between missing references and non-symbolic references. If it did, we'd
be forced to always search the packed-refs backend to see whether the
symbolic reference the user asked for really doesn't exist, or if it
exists as a non-symbolic reference.

Remove the now-unused "failure_errno" parameter from the
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() signature. In my recent 96f6623ada (Merge
branch 'ab/refs-errno-cleanup', 2021-11-29) series we made all of its
callers explicitly request the errno via an output parameter.
As that series shows all but one caller ended up passing in a
boilerplate "ignore_errno", since they only cared about whether the
return value was NULL or not, i.e. if the ref could be resolved.
There was one small issue with that series fixed with a follow-up in
31e3912369 (Merge branch 'ab/refs-errno-cleanup', 2022-01-14) a small
bug in that series was fixed.
After those two there was one caller left in sequencer.c that used the
"failure_errno', but as of the preceding commit it uses a boilerplate
"ignore_errno" instead.
This leaves the public refs API without any use of "failure_errno" at
all. We could still do with a bit of cleanup and generalization
between refs.c and refs/files-backend.c before the "reftable"
integration lands, but that's all internal to the reference code
itself.
So let's remove this output parameter. Not only isn't it used now, but
it's unlikely that we'll want it again in the future. We'd like to
slowly move the refs API to a more file-backend independent way of
communicating error codes, having it use a "failure_errno" was only
the first step in that direction. If this or any other function needs
to communicate what specifically is wrong with the requested "refname"
it'll be better to have the function set some output enum of
well-defined error states than piggy-backend on "errno".

When deleting refs from the loose-files refs backend, then we need to be
careful to also delete the same ref from the packed refs backend, if it
exists. If we don't, then deleting the loose ref would "uncover" the
packed ref. We thus always have to queue up deletions of refs for both
the loose and the packed refs backend. This is done in two separate
transactions, where the end result is that the reference-transaction
hook is executed twice for the deleted refs.
This behaviour is quite misleading: it's exposing implementation details
of how the files backend works to the user, in contrast to the logical
updates that we'd really want to expose via the hook. Worse yet, whether
the hook gets executed once or twice depends on how well-packed the
repository is: if the ref only exists as a loose ref, then we execute it
once, otherwise if it is also packed then we execute it twice.
Fix this behaviour and don't execute the reference-transaction hook at
all when refs in the packed-refs backend if it's driven by the files
backend. This works as expected even in case the refs to be deleted only
exist in the packed-refs backend because the loose-backend always queues
refs in its own transaction even if they don't exist such that they can
be locked for concurrent creation. And it also does the right thing in
case neither of the backends has the ref because that would cause the
transaction to fail completely.

Fix a logic error in refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() introduced in a recent
series of mine to abstract the refs API away from errno. See
96f6623ada (Merge branch 'ab/refs-errno-cleanup', 2021-11-29)for that
series.
In that series introduction of "failure_errno" to
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe came in ef18119dec (refs API: add a version
of refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() with "errno", 2021-10-16). There we'd set
"errno = 0" immediately before refs_read_raw_ref(), and then set
"failure_errno" to "errno" if errno was non-zero afterwards.
Then in the next commit 8b72fea7e9 (refs API: make
refs_read_raw_ref() not set errno, 2021-10-16) we started expecting
"refs_read_raw_ref()" to set "failure_errno". It would do that if
refs_read_raw_ref() failed, but it wouldn't be the same errno.
So we might set the "errno" here to any arbitrary bad value, and end
up e.g. returning NULL when we meant to return the refname from
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe(), or the other way around. Instrumenting this
code will reveal cases where refs_read_raw_ref() will fail, and
"errno" and "failure_errno" will be set to different values.
In practice I haven't found a case where this scary bug changed
anything in practice. The reason for that is that we'll not care about
the actual value of "errno" here per-se, but only whether:
1. We have an errno
2. If it's one of ENOENT, EISDIR or ENOTDIR. See the adjacent code
added in a1c1d8170d (refs_resolve_ref_unsafe: handle d/f
conflicts for writes, 2017-10-06)
I.e. if we clobber "failure_errno" with "errno", but it happened to be
one of those three, and we'll clobber it with another one of the three
we were OK.
Perhaps there are cases where the difference ended up mattering, but I
haven't found them. Instrumenting the test suite to fail if "errno"
and "failure_errno" are different shows a lot of failures, checking if
they're different *and* one is but not the other is outside that list
of three "errno" values yields no failures.
But let's fix the obvious bug. We should just stop paying attention to
"errno" in refs_resolve_ref_unsafe(). In addition let's change the
partial resetting of "errno" in files_read_raw_ref() to happen just
before the "return", to ensure that any such bug will be more easily
spotted in the future.

The expire_reflog_ent() function shouldn't need to deal with the

by doing this the --verbose output becomes backend-agnostic, so
reftable will get the same output.

Rename the transitory refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() function to
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe(), now that all callers of the old function
have learned to pass in a "failure_errno" parameter.
The coccinelle semantic patch added in the preceding commit works, but
I couldn't figure out how to get spatch(1) to re-flow these argument
lists (and sometimes make lines way too long), so this rename was done
with:
perl -pi -e 's/refs_werrres_ref_unsafe/refs_resolve_ref_unsafe/g' \
$(git grep -l refs_werrres_ref_unsafe -- '*.c')
But after that "make contrib/coccinelle/refs.cocci.patch" comes up
empty, so the result would have been the same. Let's remove that
transitory semantic patch file, we won't need to retain it for any
other in-flight changes, refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() only existed within
this patch series.

None of the callers of rename_ref() and copy_ref() care about errno,
and as seen in the context here we already emit our own non-errno
using error() in the case where we'd use it.
So let's have it explicitly ignore errno, and do the same in
commit_ref_update(), which is only used within other code in
files_copy_or_rename_ref() itself which doesn't care about errno
either.
It might actually be sensible to have the callers use errno if the
failure was filesystem-specific, and with the upcoming reftable
backend we don't want to rely on that sort of thing, so let's keep
ignoring that for now.

In lock_ref_oid_basic() we'll happily lock a reference that doesn't
exist yet. That's normal, and is how references are initially born,
but we don't need to retain checks here in lock_ref_oid_basic() about
the state of the ref, when what we're checking is either checked
already, or something we're about to discover by trying to lock the
ref with raceproof_create_file().
The one exception is the caller in files_reflog_expire(), who passes
us a "type" to find out if the reference is a symref or not. We can
move the that logic over to that caller, which can now defer its
discovery of whether or not the ref is a symref until it's needed. In
the preceding commit an exhaustive regression test was added for that
case in a new test in "t1417-reflog-updateref.sh".
The improved diagnostics here were added in
5b2d8d6f21 (lock_ref_sha1_basic(): improve diagnostics for ref D/F
conflicts, 2015-05-11), and then much of the surrounding code went
away recently in my 245fbba46d (refs/files: remove unused "errno ==
EISDIR" code, 2021-08-23).
The refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() code being removed here looks like it
should be tasked with doing that, but it's actually redundant to other
code.
The reason for that is as noted in 245fbba46d this once widely used
function now only has a handful of callers left, which all handle this
case themselves.
To the extent that we're racy between their check and ours removing
this check actually improves the situation, as we'll be doing fewer
things between the not-under-lock initial check and acquiring the
lock.
Why this is OK for all the remaining callers of lock_ref_oid_basic()
is noted below. There are only two of those callers:
* "git branch -[cm] <oldbranch> <newbranch>":
In files_copy_or_rename_ref() we'll call this when we copy or rename
refs via rename_ref() and copy_ref(). but only after we've checked
if the refname exists already via its own call to
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() and refs_rename_ref_available().
As the updated comment to the latter here notes neither of those are
actually needed. If we delete not only this code but also
refs_rename_ref_available() we'll do just fine, we'll just emit a
less friendly error message if e.g. "git branch -m A B/C" would have
a D/F conflict with a "B" file.
Actually we'd probably die before that in case reflogs for the
branch existed, i.e. when the try to rename() or copy_file() the
relevant reflog, since if we've got a D/F conflict with a branch
name we'll probably also have the same with its reflogs (but not
necessarily, we might have reflogs, but it might not).
As some #leftoverbits that code seems buggy to me, i.e. the reflog
"protocol" should be to get a lock on the main ref, and then perform
ref and/or reflog operations. That code dates back to
c976d415e5 (git-branch: add options and tests for branch renaming,
2006-11-28) and probably pre-dated the solidifying of that
convention. But in any case, that edge case is not our bug or
problem right now.
* "git reflog expire <ref>":
In files_reflog_expire() we'll call this without previous ref
existence checking in files-backend.c, but that code is in turn
called by code that's just finished checking if the refname whose
reflog we're expiring exists.
See ae35e16cd4 (reflog expire: don't lock reflogs using previously
seen OID, 2021-08-23) for the current state of that code, and
5e6f003ca8 (reflog_expire(): ignore --updateref for symbolic
references, 2015-03-03) for the code we'd break if we only did a
"update = !!ref" here, which is covered by the aforementioned
regression test in "t1417-reflog-updateref.sh".

Change the parse_loose_ref_contents() function to stop setting "errno"
and failure, and to instead pass up a "failure_errno" via a
parameter. This requires changing its callers to do the same.
The EINVAL error from parse_loose_ref_contents is used in files-backend
to create a custom error message.
In untangling this we discovered a tricky edge case. The
refs_read_special_head() function was relying on
parse_loose_ref_contents() setting EINVAL.
By converting it to use "saved_errno" we can migrate away from "errno"
in this part of the code entirely, and do away with an existing
"save_errno" pattern, its only purpose was to not clobber the "errno"
we previously needed at the end of files_read_raw_ref().
Let's assert that we can do that by not having files_read_raw_ref()
itself operate on *failure_errno in addition to passing it on. Instead
we'll assert that if we return non-zero we actually do set errno, thus
assuring ourselves and callers that they can trust the resulting
"failure_errno".

When the DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN flag is used, we include both actual
corrupt refs (illegal names, missing objects), but also symrefs that
point to nothing. This latter is not really a corruption, but just
something that may happen normally. For example, the symref at
refs/remotes/origin/HEAD may point to a tracking branch which is later
deleted. (The local HEAD may also be unborn, of course, but we do not
access it through ref iteration).
Most callers of for_each_ref() etc, do not care. They don't pass
INCLUDE_BROKEN, so don't see it at all. But for those which do pass it,
this somewhat-normal state causes extra warnings (e.g., from
for-each-ref) or even aborts operations (destructive repacks with
GIT_REF_PARANOIA set).
This patch just introduces the flag and the mechanism; there are no
callers yet (and hence no tests). Two things to note on the
implementation:
- we actually skip any symref that does not resolve to a ref. This
includes ones which point to an invalidly-named ref. You could argue
this is a more serious breakage than simple dangling. But the
overall effect is the same (we could not follow the symref), as well
as the impact on things like REF_PARANOIA (either way, a symref we
can't follow won't impact reachability, because we'll see the ref
itself during iteration). The underlying resolution function doesn't
distinguish these two cases (they both get REF_ISBROKEN).
- we change the iterator in refs/files-backend.c where we check
INCLUDE_BROKEN. There's a matching spot in refs/packed-backend.c,
but we don't know need to do anything there. The packed backend does
not support symrefs at all.
The resulting set of flags might be a bit easier to follow if we broke
this down into "INCLUDE_CORRUPT_REFS" and "INCLUDE_DANGLING_SYMREFS".
But there are a few reasons not do so:
- adding a new OMIT_DANGLING_SYMREFS flag lets us leave existing
callers intact, without changing their behavior (and some of them
really do want to see the dangling symrefs; e.g., t5505 has a test
which expects us to report when a symref becomes dangling)
- they're not actually independent. You cannot say "include dangling
symrefs" without also including refs whose objects are not
reachable, because dangling symrefs by definition do not have an
object. We could tweak the implementation to distinguish this, but
in practice nobody wants to ask for that. Adding the OMIT flag keeps
the implementation simple and makes sure we don't regress the
current behavior.

The documentation for the DO_FOR_EACH_* flags is sprinkled over the

describe them in more detail far away from there, in the definitions of
refs_ref_iterator_begin() and ref_iterator_advance_fn().
Let's try to organize this a bit better:
- convert the #defines to an enum. This makes it clear that they are
related, and that the enum shows the complete set of flags.
- combine all descriptions for each flag in a single spot, next to the
flag's definition
- use the enum rather than a bare int for functions which take the
flags. This helps readers realize which flags can be used.
- clarify the mention of flags for ref_iterator_advance_fn(). It does
not take flags itself, but is meant to depend on ones set up

This makes it explicit how alternative ref backends should report errors in
read_raw_ref_fn.
read_raw_ref_fn needs to supply a credible errno for a number of cases. These
are primarily:
1) The files backend calls read_raw_ref from lock_raw_ref, and uses the
resulting error codes to create/remove directories as needed.
2) ENOENT should be translated in a zero OID, optionally with REF_ISBROKEN set,
returning the last successfully resolved symref. This is necessary so
read_raw_ref("HEAD") on an empty repo returns refs/heads/main (or the default branch
du-jour), and we know on which branch to create the first commit.
Make this information flow explicit by adding a failure_errno to the signature
of read_raw_ref. All errnos from the files backend are still propagated
unchanged, even though inspection suggests only ENOTDIR, EISDIR and ENOENT are
relevant.

refs/files-backend.c::lock_ref_oid_basic() tries to signal how it failed

It is safe to stop setting errno here, because the callers of this
file-scope static function are
* files_copy_or_rename_ref()
* files_create_symref()
* files_reflog_expire()
None of them looks at errno after seeing a negative return from
lock_ref_oid_basic() to make any decision, and no caller of these three
functions looks at errno after they signal a failure by returning a
negative value. In particular,
* files_copy_or_rename_ref() - here, calls are followed by error()
(which performs I/O) or write_ref_to_lockfile() (which calls
parse_object() which may perform I/O)
* files_create_symref() - here, calls are followed by error() or
create_symref_locked() (which performs I/O and does not inspect
errno)
* files_reflog_expire() - here, calls are followed by error() or
refs_reflog_exists() (which calls a function in a vtable that is not

This commit does not change code; it documents the fact that an alternate ref
backend does not need to return EINVAL from read_raw_ref_fn to function
properly.
This is correct, because refs_read_raw_ref is only called from;
* resolve_ref_unsafe(), which does not care for the EINVAL errno result.
* refs_verify_refname_available(), which does not inspect errno.
* files-backend.c, where errno is overwritten on failure.
* packed-backend.c (is_packed_transaction_needed), which calls it for the
packed ref backend, which never emits EINVAL.
A grep for EINVAL */*c reveals that no code checks errno against EINVAL after
reading references. In addition, the refs.h file does not mention errno at all.
A grep over resolve_ref_unsafe() turned up the following callers that inspect
errno:
* sequencer.c::print_commit_summary, which uses it for die_errno
* lock_ref_oid_basic(), which only treats EISDIR and ENOTDIR specially.
The files ref backend does use EINVAL. The files backend does not call into
the generic API (refs_read_raw), but into the files-specific function
(files_read_raw_ref), which we are not changing in this commit.
As the errno sideband is unintuitive and error-prone, remove EINVAL
value, as a step towards getting rid of the errno sideband altogether.

As a follow-up to the preceding commit where we removed the adjacent
"errno == EISDIR" condition in the same function, remove the

It's not possible for us to hit this condition added in

these in refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() before returning NULL:

errno != EISDIR &&
errno != ENOTDIR)
return NULL;
We'd then always return the refname from refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()
even if we were in a broken state as explained in the preceding
commit. The elided context here is a call to refs_resolve_ref_unsafe().

When we lock a reference like "foo" we need to handle the case where
"foo" exists, but is an empty directory. That's what this code added
in bc7127ef0f (ref locking: allow 'foo' when 'foo/bar' used to exist
but not anymore., 2006-09-30) seems like it should be dealing with.
Except it doesn't, and we never take this branch. The reason is that
when bc7127ef0f was written this looked like:
ref = resolve_ref([...]);
if (!ref && errno == EISDIR) {
[...]
And in resolve_ref() we had this code:
fd = open(path, O_RDONLY);
if (fd < 0)
return NULL;
I.e. we would attempt to read "foo" with open(), which would fail with
EISDIR and we'd return NULL. We'd then take this branch, call
remove_empty_directories() and continue.
Since a1c1d8170d (refs_resolve_ref_unsafe: handle d/f conflicts for
writes, 2017-10-06) we don't. E.g. in the case of
files_copy_or_rename_ref() our callstack will look something like:
[...] ->
files_copy_or_rename_ref() ->
lock_ref_oid_basic() ->
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()
At that point the first (now only) refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() call in
lock_ref_oid_basic() would do the equivalent of this in the resulting
call to refs_read_raw_ref() in refs_resolve_ref_unsafe():
/* Via refs_read_raw_ref() */
fd = open(path, O_RDONLY);
if (fd < 0)
/* get errno == EISDIR */
/* later, in refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() */
if ([...] && errno != EISDIR)
return NULL;
[...]
/* returns the refs/heads/foo to the caller, even though it's a directory */
return refname;
I.e. even though we got an "errno == EISDIR" we won't take this
branch, since in cases of EISDIR "resolved" is always
non-NULL. I.e. we pretend at this point as though everything's OK and
there is no "foo" directory.
We then proceed with the entire ref update and don't call
remove_empty_directories() until we call commit_ref_update(). See
5387c0d883 (commit_ref(): if there is an empty dir in the way, delete
it, 2016-05-05) for the addition of that code, and
a1c1d8170d (refs_resolve_ref_unsafe: handle d/f conflicts for writes,
2017-10-06) for the commit that changed the original codepath added in
bc7127ef0f to use this "EISDIR" handling.
Further historical commentary:
Before the two preceding commits the caller in files_reflog_expire()
was the only one out of our 4 callers that would pass non-NULL as an
oid. We would then set a (now gone) "resolve_flags" to
"RESOLVE_REF_READING" and just before that "errno != EISDIR" check do:
if (resolve_flags & RESOLVE_REF_READING)
return NULL;
There may have been some case where this ended up mattering and we
couldn't safely make this change before we removed the "oid"
parameter, but I don't think there was, see [1] for some discussion on
that.
In any case, now that we've removed the "oid" parameter in a preceding
commit we can be sure that this code is redundant, so let's remove it.

In the preceding commit the last caller that passed a non-NULL OID was
changed to pass NULL to lock_ref_oid_basic(). As noted in preceding
commits use of this API has been going away (we should use ref
transactions, or lock_raw_ref()), so we're unlikely to gain new
callers that want to pass the "oid".
So let's remove it, doing so means we can remove the "mustexist"
condition, and therefore anything except the "flags =
RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE" case.
Furthermore, since the verify_lock() function we called did most of
its work when the "oid" was passed (as "old_oid") we can inline the
trivial part of it that remains in its only remaining caller. Without
a NULL "oid" passed it was equivalent to calling refs_read_ref_full()
followed by oidclr().

During reflog expiry, the cmd_reflog_expire() function first iterates
over all reflogs in logs/*, and then one-by-one acquires the lock for
each one and expires it. This behavior has been with us since this
command was implemented in 4264dc15e1 ("git reflog expire",
2006-12-19).
Change this to stop calling lock_ref_oid_basic() with the OID we saw
when we looped over the logs, instead have it pass the OID it managed
to lock.
This mostly mitigates a race condition where e.g. "git gc" will fail
in a concurrently updated repository because the branch moved since
"git reflog expire --all" was started. I.e. with:
error: cannot lock ref '<refname>': ref '<refname>' is at <OID-A> but expected <OID-B>
This behavior of passing in an "oid" was needed for an edge-case that
I've untangled in this and preceding commits though, namely that we
needed this OID because we'd:
1. Lookup the reflog name/OID via dwim_log()
2. With that OID, lock the reflog
3. Later in builtin/reflog.c we use the OID we looked as input to
lookup_commit_reference_gently(), assured that it's equal to the
OID we got from dwim_log().
We can be sure that this change is safe to make because between
dwim_log (step #1) and lock_ref_oid_basic (step #2) there was no other
logic relevant to the OID or expiry run in the cmd_reflog_expire()
caller.
We can thus treat that code as a black box, before and after this
change it would get an OID that's been locked, the only difference is
that now we mostly won't be failing to get the lock due to the TOCTOU
race[0]. That failure was purely an implementation detail in how the
"current OID" was looked up, it was divorced from the locking
mechanism.
What do we mean with "mostly"? It mostly mitigates it because we'll
still run into cases where the ref is locked and being updated as we
want to expire it, and other git processes wanting to update the refs
will in turn race with us as we expire the reflog.
That remaining race can in turn be mitigated with the
core.filesRefLockTimeout setting, see 4ff0f01cb7 ("refs: retry
acquiring reference locks for 100ms", 2017-08-21). In practice if that
value is high enough we'll probably never have ref updates or reflog
expiry failing, since the clients involved will retry for far longer
than the time any of those operations could take.
See [1] for an initial report of how this impacted "git gc" and a
large discussion about this change in early 2019. In particular patch
looked good to Michael Haggerty, see his[2]. That message seems to not
have made it to the ML archive, its content is quoted in full in my
[3].
I'm leaving behind now-unused code the refs API etc. that takes the
now-NULL "unused_oid" argument, and other code that can be simplified now
that we never have on OID in that context, that'll be cleaned up in
subsequent commits, but for now let's narrowly focus on fixing the
"git gc" issue. As the modified assert() shows we always pass a NULL
oid to reflog_expire() now.
Unfortunately this sort of probabilistic contention is hard to turn
into a test. I've tested this by running the following three subshells
in concurrent terminals:
(
rm -rf /tmp/git &&
git init /tmp/git &&
while true
do
head -c 10 /dev/urandom | hexdump >/tmp/git/out &&
git -C /tmp/git add out &&
git -C /tmp/git commit -m"out"
done
)
(
rm -rf /tmp/git-clone &&
git clone file:///tmp/git /tmp/git-clone &&
while git -C /tmp/git-clone pull
do
date
done
)
(
while git -C /tmp/git-clone reflog expire --all
do
date
done
)
Before this change the "reflog expire" would fail really quickly with
the "but expected" error noted above.
After this change both the "pull" and "reflog expire" will run for a
while, but eventually fail because I get unlucky with
core.filesRefLockTimeout (the "reflog expire" is in a really tight
loop). As noted above that can in turn be mitigated with higher values
of core.filesRefLockTimeout than the 100ms default.
As noted in the commentary added in the preceding commit there's also
the case of branches being racily deleted, that can be tested by
adding this to the above:
(
while git -C /tmp/git-clone branch topic master &&
git -C /tmp/git-clone branch -D topic
do
date
done
)
With core.filesRefLockTimeout set to 10 seconds (it can probably be a
lot lower) I managed to run all four of these concurrently for about
an hour, and accumulated ~125k commits, auto-gc's and all, and didn't
have a single failure. The loops visibly stall while waiting for the
lock, but that's expected and desired behavior.

Use -1 as error return value throughout.
This removes spurious differences in the GIT_TRACE_REFS output, depending on the
ref storage backend active.
Before, the cached ref_iterator (but only that iterator!) would return
peel_object() output directly. No callers relied on the peel_status values
beyond success/failure. All calls to these functions go through
peel_iterated_oid(), which returns peel_object() as a fallback, but also
squashing the error values.
The iteration interface already passes REF_ISSYMREF and REF_ISBROKEN through the
flags argument, so the additional error values in enum peel_status provide no
value.
The ref iteration interface provides a separate peel() function because certain
formats (eg. packed-refs and reftable) can store the peeled object next to the
tag SHA1. Passing the peeled SHA1 as an optional argument to each_ref_fn maps
more naturally to the implementation of ref databases. Changing the code in this
way is left for a future refactoring.

refs: cleanup directories when deleting packed ref
When deleting a packed ref via 'update-ref -d', a lockfile is made in
the directory that would contain the loose copy of that ref, creating
any directories in the ref's path that do not exist. When the
transaction completes, the lockfile is deleted, but any empty parent
directories made when creating the lockfile are left in place. These
empty directories are not removed by 'pack-refs' or other housekeeping
tasks and will accumulate over time.
When deleting a loose ref, we remove all empty parent directories at the
end of the transaction.
This commit applies the parent directory cleanup logic used when
deleting loose refs to packed refs as well.

Regarding reflog messages:
- We expect that a reflog message consists of a single line. The
file format used by the files backend may add a LF after the
message as a delimiter, and output by commands like "git log -g"
may complete such an incomplete line by adding a LF at the end,
but philosophically, the terminating LF is not a part of the
message.
- We however allow callers of refs API to supply a random sequence
of NUL terminated bytes. We cleanse caller-supplied message by
squashing a run of whitespaces into a SP, and by trimming trailing
whitespace, before storing the message. This is how we tolerate,
instead of erring out, a message with LF in it (be it at the end,
in the middle, or both).
Currently, the cleansing of the reflog message is done by the files
backend, before the log is written out. This is sufficient with the
current code, as that is the only backend that writes reflogs. But
new backends can be added that write reflogs, and we'd want the
resulting log message we would read out of "log -g" the same no
matter what backend is used, and moving the code to do so to the
generic layer is a way to do so.
An added benefit is that the "cleansing" function could be updated
later, independent from individual backends, to e.g. allow
multi-line log messages if we wanted to, and when that happens, it
would help a lot to ensure we covered all bases if the cleansing
function (which would be updated) is called from the generic layer.
Side note: I am not interested in supporting multi-line reflog
messages right at the moment (nobody is asking for it), but I
envision that instead of the "squash a run of whitespaces into a SP
and rtrim" cleansing, we can %urlencode problematic bytes in the
message *AND* append a SP at the end, when a new version of Git that
supports multi-line and/or verbatim reflog messages writes a reflog
record. The reading side can detect the presense of SP at the end
(which should have been rtrimmed out if it were written by existing
versions of Git) as a signal that decoding %urlencode recovers the
original reflog message.

"git pack-refs" can lose refs that are created while running, which
is getting corrected.
* sc/pack-refs-deletion-racefix:
pack-refs: always refresh after taking the lock file
When a packed ref is deleted, the whole packed-refs file is
rewritten to omit the ref that no longer exists. However if another
gc command is running and calls `pack-refs --all` simultaneously,
there is a chance that a ref that was just updated lose the newly
created commits.
Through these steps, losing commits on newly updated refs can be
demonstrated:
# step 1: compile git without `USE_NSEC` option
Some kernel releases do enable it by default while some do
not. And if we compile git without `USE_NSEC`, it will be easier
demonstrated by the following steps.
# step 2: setup a repository and add the first commit
git init repo &&
(cd repo &&
git config core.logallrefupdates true &&
git commit --allow-empty -m foo)
# step 3: in one terminal, repack the refs repeatedly
cd repo &&
while true
do
git pack-refs --all
done
# step 4: in another terminal, simultaneously update the
# master with update-ref, and create and delete an
# unrelated ref also with update-ref
cd repo &&
while true
do
us=$(git commit-tree -m foo -p HEAD HEAD^{tree}) &&
git update-ref refs/heads/newbranch $us &&
git update-ref refs/heads/master $us &&
git update-ref -d refs/heads/newbranch &&
them=$(git rev-parse master) &&
if test "$them" != "$us"
then
echo >&2 "lost commit: $us"
exit 1
fi
# eye candy
printf .
done
Though we have the packed-refs lock file and loose refs lock
files to avoid updating conflicts, a ref will lost its newly
commits if racy stat-validity of `packed-refs` file happens
(which is quite same as the racy-git described in
`Documentation/technical/racy-git.txt`), the following
specific set of operations demonstrates the problem:
1. Call `pack-refs --all` to pack all the loose refs to
packed-refs, and let say the modify time of the
packed-refs is DATE_M.
2. Call `update-ref` to update a new commit to master while
it is already packed. the old value (let us call it
OID_A) remains in the packed-refs file and write the new
value (let us call it OID_B) to $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master.
3. Call `update-ref -d` within the same DATE_M from the 1th
step to delete a different ref newbranch which is packed
in the packed-refs file. It check newbranch's oid from
packed-refs file without locking it.
Meanwhile it keeps a snapshot of the packed-refs file in
memory and record the file's attributes with the snapshot.
The oid of master in the packed-refs's snapshot is OID_A.
4. Call a new `pack-refs --all` to pack the loose refs, the
oid of master in packe-refs file is OID_B, and the loose
refs $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master is removed. Let's say
the `pack-refs --all` is very quickly done and the new
packed-refs file's modify time is still DATE_M, and it
has the same file size, even the same inode.
5. 3th step now goes on after checking the newbranch, it
begin to rewrite the packed-refs file. After get the
lock file of packed-ref file, it checks it's on-disk
file attributes with the snapshot, suck as the timestamp,
the file size and the inode value. If they are both the
same values, and the snapshot is not refreshed.
Because the loose ref of master is removed by 4th step,
`update-ref -d` will updates the new packed-ref to disk
which contains master with the oid OID_A. So now the
newly commit OID_B of master is lost.
The best path forward is just always refreshing after take
the lock file of `packed-refs` file. Traditionally we avoided
that because refreshing it implied parsing the whole file.
But these days we mmap it, so it really is just an extra
open()/mmap() and a quick read of the header. That doesn't seem
like an outrageous cost to pay when we're already taking the lock.

dir_iterator_advance() is a large function with two nested loops. Let's
improve its readability factoring out three functions and simplifying
its mechanics. The refactored model will no longer depend on
level.initialized and level.dir_state to keep track of the iteration
state and will perform on a single loop.
Also, dir_iterator_begin() currently does not check if the given string
represents a valid directory path. Since the refactored model will have
to stat() the given path at initialization, let's also check for this
kind of error and make dir_iterator_begin() return NULL, on failures,
with errno appropriately set. And add tests for this new behavior.
Improve documentation at dir-iteration.h and code comments at
dir-iterator.c to reflect the changes and eliminate possible
ambiguities.
Finally, adjust refs/files-backend.c to check for now possible
dir_iterator_begin() failures.

A corner case bug in the refs API has been corrected.
* jk/refs-double-abort:
refs/files-backend: don't look at an aborted transaction
refs/files-backend: handle packed transaction prepare failure
"git rebase" uses the refs/rewritten/ hierarchy to store its
intermediate states, which inherently makes the hierarchy per
worktree, but it didn't quite work well.
* nd/rewritten-ref-is-per-worktree:
Make sure refs/rewritten/ is per-worktree
files-backend.c: reduce duplication in add_per_worktree_entries_to_dir()
files-backend.c: factor out per-worktree code in loose_fill_ref_dir()
When deleting refs, we hold packed-refs.lock and prepare a packed
transaction to drop the refs from the packed-refs file. If it turns out
that we don't need to rewrite the packed refs (e.g., because none of the
deletions were present in the file), then we abort the transaction.
If that abort succeeds, then the transaction struct will have been
freed, and we set our local pointer to NULL so we don't look at it
again.
However, if it fails, then the struct will _still_ have been freed
(because ref_transaction_abort() always frees). But we don't clean up
the pointer, and will jump to our cleanup code, which will try to abort
it again, causing a use-after-free.
It's actually impossible for this to trigger in practice, since
packed_transaction_abort() will never return anything but success. But
let's fix it anyway, since that's more than we should assume about the
packed-refs code (after all, we are already bothering to check for an
error result which cannot be triggered).

In files_transaction_prepare(), if we have to delete some refs, we use a
subordinate packed_transaction to do so. It's rare for that
sub-transaction's prepare step to fail, since we hold the packed-refs
lock. But if it does, we trigger a BUG() due to these steps:
- we've attached the packed transaction to the files transaction as
backend_data->packed_transaction
- when the prepare step fails, the packed transaction cleans itself
up, putting itself into the CLOSED state
- the error value from preparing the packed transaction lets us know
in files_transaction_prepare() that we should also clean up and
return an error. We call files_transaction_cleanup(), which tries to
abort backend_data->packed_transaction. Since it's already CLOSED,
that triggers an assertion in ref_transaction_abort().
We can fix that by disconnecting the packed transaction from the outer
files transaction, and then free-ing (not aborting!) it ourselves.
A few other options/alternatives I considered:
- we could just make it a noop to abort a CLOSED transaction. But that
seems less safe, since clearly this code expects (and enforces) a
particular set of state transitions.
- we could have files_transaction_cleanup() selectively call abort()
vs free() based on the state of the on the packed transaction.
That's basically a more restricted version of the above, but also
potentially unsafe.
- instead of disconnecting backend_data->packed_transaction on error,
we could wait to install it until we successfully prepare. That
might make the flow a little simpler, but it introduces a hassle.
Earlier parts of files_transaction_prepare() that encounter an error
will jump to the cleanup label, and expect that cleaning up the
outer transaction will clean up the packed transaction, too. We'd
have to adjust those sites to clean up the packed transaction.

a9be29c981 (sequencer: make refs generated by the `label` command
worktree-local, 2018-04-25) adds refs/rewritten/ as per-worktree
reference space. Unfortunately (my bad) there are a couple places that
need update to make sure it's really per-worktree.
- add_per_worktree_entries_to_dir() is updated to make sure ref listing
look at per-worktree refs/rewritten/ instead of per-repo one [1]
- common_list[] is updated so that git_path() returns the correct
location. This includes "rev-parse --git-path".
This mess is created by me. I started trying to fix it with the
introduction of refs/worktree, where all refs will be per-worktree
without special treatments. Unfortunate refs/rewritten came before
refs/worktree so this is all we can do.
This also fixes logs/refs/worktree not being per-worktree.
[1] note that ref listing still works sometimes. For example, if you
have .git/worktrees/foo/refs/rewritten/bar AND the directory
.git/worktrees/refs/rewritten, refs/rewritten/bar will show up.
add_per_worktree_entries_to_dir() is only needed when the directory
.git/worktrees/refs/rewritten is missing.

One of the problems with multiple worktree is accessing per-worktree
refs of one worktree from another worktree. This was sort of solved by
multiple ref store, where the code can open the ref store of another
worktree and has access to the ref space of that worktree.
The problem with this is reporting. "HEAD" in another ref space is
also called "HEAD" like in the current ref space. In order to
differentiate them, all the code must somehow carry the ref store
around and print something like "HEAD from this ref store".
But that is not feasible (or possible with a _lot_ of work). With the
current design, we pass a reference around as a string (so called
"refname"). Extending this design to pass a string _and_ a ref store
is a nightmare, especially when handling extended SHA-1 syntax.
So we do it another way. Instead of entering a separate ref space, we
make refs from other worktrees available in the current ref space. So
"HEAD" is always HEAD of the current worktree, but then we can have
"worktrees/blah/HEAD" to denote HEAD from a worktree named
"blah". This syntax coincidentally matches the underlying directory
structure which makes implementation a bit easier.
The main worktree has to be treated specially because well... it's
special from the beginning. So HEAD from the main worktree is
acccessible via the name "main-worktree/HEAD" instead of
"worktrees/main/HEAD" because "main" could be just another secondary
worktree.
This patch also makes it possible to specify refs from one worktree in
another one, e.g.
git log worktrees/foo/HEAD

adding rules when new stuff comes (*), have a generic rule:

$GIT_DIR/common which is always shared. New features that want to
share stuff should put stuff under this directory.
- Inside refs/, which is shared by default except refs/bisect, add
refs/worktree/ which is per-worktree. We may eventually move

This is the flip side of the previous two patches: checking
for a non-zero oidcmp() can be more strictly expressed as
inequality. Like those patches, we write "!= 0" in the
coccinelle transformation, which covers by isomorphism the
more common:
if (oidcmp(E1, E2))
As with the previous two patches, this patch can be achieved
almost entirely by running "make coccicheck"; the only
differences are manual line-wrap fixes to match the original
code.
There is one thing to note for anybody replicating this,
though: coccinelle 1.0.4 seems to miss the case in
builtin/tag.c, even though it's basically the same as all
the others. Running with 1.0.7 does catch this, so
presumably it's just a coccinelle bug that was fixed in the

Using the more restrictive oideq() should, in the long run,
give the compiler more opportunities to optimize these
callsites. For now, this conversion should be a complete
noop with respect to the generated code.
The result is also perhaps a little more readable, as it
avoids the "zero is equal" idiom. Since it's so prevalent in
C, I think seasoned programmers tend not to even notice it
anymore, but it can sometimes make for awkward double
negations (e.g., we can drop a few !!oidcmp() instances
here).
This patch was generated almost entirely by the included
coccinelle patch. This mechanical conversion should be
completely safe, because we check explicitly for cases where
oidcmp() is compared to 0, which is what oideq() is doing
under the hood. Note that we don't have to catch "!oidcmp()"
separately; coccinelle's standard isomorphisms make sure the
two are treated equivalently.
I say "almost" because I did hand-edit the coccinelle output
to fix up a few style violations (it mostly keeps the
original formatting, but sometimes unwraps long lines).

New attempts in the object store conversion have shown that it is useful

To achieve this goal we will need to add a repository argument to

such a patch would be too large.

When we initially added the strbuf_readlink() function in
b11b7e13f4 (Add generic 'strbuf_readlink()' helper function,
2008-12-17), the point was that we generally have a _guess_
as to the correct size based on the stat information, but we
can't necessarily trust it.
Over the years, a few callers have grown up that simply pass
in 0, even though they have the stat information. Let's have
them pass in their hint for consistency (and in theory
efficiency, since it may avoid an extra resize/syscall loop,
but neither location is probably performance critical).
Note that st.st_size is actually an off_t, so in theory we
need xsize_t() here. But none of the other callsites use it,
and since this is just a hint, it doesn't matter either way
(if we wrap we'll simply start with a too-small hint and
then eventually complain when we cannot allocate the
memory).

can drop their staticness.
For good measure, I have inspected these sites and come to believe that
they always release the lock, with the possible exception of bailing out
using `die()` or `exit()` or by returning from a `cmd_foo()`.
As pointed out by Jeff King, it would be bad if someone held on to a

Commit f57f37e2e1 (files-backend: remove the use of
git_path(), 2017-03-26) introduced a regression when a
relative $GIT_DIR is used in a working tree:
- when we initialize the ref backend, we make a copy of
get_git_dir(), which may be relative
- later, we may call setup_work_tree() and chdir to the
root of the working tree
- further calls to the ref code will use the stored git
directory, but relative paths will now point to the
wrong place
The new test in t1501 demonstrates one such instance (the
bug causes us to write the ref update to the nonsense
"relative/relative/.git").
Since setup_work_tree() now uses chdir_notify, we can just
ask it update our relative paths when necessary.

We don't actually create zero-length `packed-refs` files, but they are
valid and we should handle them correctly. The old code `xmmap()`ed
such files, which led to an error when `munmap()` was called. So, if
the `packed-refs` file is empty, leave the snapshot at its zero values
and return 0 without trying to read or mmap the file.
Returning 0 also makes `create_snapshot()` exit early, which avoids
the technically undefined comparison `NULL < NULL`.

The constants used for `ref_update::flags` were rather disorganized:

* Maybe constants were defined in `refs-internal.h`, making them
visible to the whole refs module, when in fact they only made sense
for the files backend.
* Their documentation wasn't very consistent and partly still referred

`prune_ref()` needs to use the `REF_ISPRUNING` flag, but we want to

shouldn't allow the `REF_ISPRUNING` flag, change `prune_ref()` to call
`ref_transaction_add_update()`, which is private to the refs
module. (Note that we don't need any of the other services provided by
`ref_transaction_delete()`.)
This allows us to change `ref_transaction_update()` to reject the
`REF_ISPRUNING` flag. Do so by adjusting
`REF_TRANSACTION_UPDATE_ALLOWED_FLAGS`. Also add parentheses to its

The files backend uses `ref_update::flags` for several internal flags.
But those flags have no meaning to the packed backend. So when adding
updates for the packed-refs transaction, only use flags that make
sense to the packed backend.
`REF_NODEREF` is part of the public interface, and it's logically what
we want, so include it. In fact it is actually ignored by the packed
backend (which doesn't support symbolic references), but that's its
own business.

Even when we are deleting references, we needn't overwrite the
`packed-refs` file if the references that we are deleting only exist
as loose references. Implement this optimization as follows:
* Add a function `is_packed_transaction_needed()`, which checks
whether a given packed-refs transaction actually needs to be carried
out (i.e., it returns false if the transaction obviously wouldn't
have any effect). This function must be called while holding the
`packed-refs` lock to avoid races.
* Change `files_transaction_prepare()` to check whether the
packed-refs transaction is actually needed. If not, squelch it, but
continue holding the `packed-refs` lock until the end of the
transaction to avoid races.
This fixes a mild regression caused by dc39e09942 (files_ref_store:
use a transaction to update packed refs, 2017-09-08). Before that
commit, unnecessary rewrites of `packed-refs` were suppressed by
`repack_without_refs()`. But the transaction-based writing introduced
by that commit didn't perform that optimization.
Note that the pre-dc39e09942 code still had to *read* the whole
`packed-refs` file to determine that the rewrite could be skipped, so
the performance for the cases that the write could be elided was
`O(N)` in the number of packed references both before and after
dc39e09942. But after that commit the constant factor increased.
This commit reimplements the optimization of eliding unnecessary
`packed-refs` rewrites. That, plus the fact that since
cfa2e29c34 (packed_ref_store: get rid of the `ref_cache` entirely,
2017-03-17) we don't necessarily have to read the whole `packed-refs`
file at all, means that deletes of one or a few loose references can
now be done with `O(n lg N)` effort, where `n` is the number of loose
references being deleted and `N` is the total number of packed
references.
This commit fixes two tests in t1409.

Transactions to update multiple references that involves a deletion
was quite broken in an error codepath and did not abort everything
correctly.
* mh/ref-locking-fix:
files_transaction_prepare(): fix handling of ref lock failure
t1404: add a bunch of tests of D/F conflicts
Since dc39e09942 (files_ref_store: use a transaction to update packed
refs, 2017-09-08), failure to lock a reference has been handled
incorrectly by `files_transaction_prepare()`. If
`lock_ref_for_update()` fails in the lock-acquisition loop of that
function, it sets `ret` then breaks out of that loop. Prior to
dc39e09942, that was OK, because the only thing following the loop was
the cleanup code. But dc39e09942 added another blurb of code between
the loop and the cleanup. That blurb sometimes resets `ret` to zero,
making the cleanup code think that the locking was successful.
Specifically, whenever
* One or more reference deletions have been processed successfully in
the lock-acquisition loop. (Processing the first such reference
causes a packed-ref transaction to be initialized.)
* Then `lock_ref_for_update()` fails for a subsequent reference. Such
a failure can happen for a number of reasons, such as the old SHA-1
not being correct, lock contention, etc. This causes a `break` out
of the lock-acquisition loop.
* The `packed-refs` lock is acquired successfully and
`ref_transaction_prepare()` succeeds for the packed-ref transaction.
This has the effect of resetting `ret` back to 0, and making the
cleanup code think that lock acquisition was successful.
In that case, any reference updates that were processed prior to
breaking out of the loop would be carried out (loose and packed), but
the reference that couldn't be locked and any subsequent references
would silently be ignored.
This can easily cause data loss if, for example, the user was trying
to push a new name for an existing branch while deleting the old name.
After the push, the branch could be left unreachable, and could even
subsequently be garbage-collected.
This problem was noticed in the context of deleting one reference and
creating another in a single transaction, when the two references D/F
conflict with each other, like
git update-ref --stdin <<EOF
delete refs/foo
create refs/foo/bar HEAD
EOF
This triggers the above bug because the deletion is processed
successfully for `refs/foo`, then the D/F conflict causes
`lock_ref_for_update()` to fail when `refs/foo/bar` is processed. In
this case the transaction *should* fail, but instead it causes
`refs/foo` to be deleted without creating `refs/foo`. This could
easily result in data loss.
The fix is simple: instead of just breaking out of the loop, jump
directly to the cleanup code. This fixes some tests in t1404 that were
added in the previous commit.

Now that everything has been changed to read what it needs directly
out of the `packed-refs` file, `packed_ref_store` doesn't need to
maintain a `ref_cache` at all. So get rid of it.
First of all, this will save a lot of memory and lots of little
allocations. Instead of needing to store complicated parsed data
structures in memory, we just mmap the file (potentially sharing
memory with other processes) and parse only what we need.
Moreover, since the mmapped access to the file reads only the parts of
the file that it needs, this might save reading all of the data from
disk at all (at least if the file starts out sorted).

We're about to stop storing packed refs in a `ref_cache`. That means
that the only way we have left to optimize `peel_ref()` is by checking
whether the reference being peeled is the one currently being iterated
over (in `current_ref_iter`), and if so, using `ref_iterator_peel()`.
But this can be done generically; it doesn't have to be implemented
per-backend.
So implement `refs_peel_ref()` in `refs.c` and remove the `peel_ref()`
method from the refs API.
This removes the last callers of a couple of functions, so delete
them. More cleanup to come...

It doesn't actually matter now, because the references are only
iterated over to fill the associated `ref_cache`, which itself puts
them in the correct order. But we want to get rid of the `ref_cache`,
so we want to be able to iterate directly over the `packed-refs`
buffer, and then the iteration will need to be ordered correctly.
In fact, we already write the `packed-refs` file sorted, but it is
possible that other Git clients don't get it right. So let's not
assume that a `packed-refs` file is sorted unless it is explicitly
declared to be so via a `sorted` trait in its header line.
If it is *not* declared to be sorted, then scan quickly through the
file to check. If it is found to be out of order, then sort the
records into a new memory-only copy. This checking and sorting is done
quickly, without parsing the full file contents. However, it needs a
little bit of care to avoid reading past the end of the buffer even if
the `packed-refs` file is corrupt.
Since *we* always write the file correctly sorted, include that trait
when we write or rewrite a `packed-refs` file. This means that the
scan described in the previous paragraph should only have to be done
for `packed-refs` files that were written by older versions of the Git
command-line client, or by other clients that haven't yet learned to
write the `sorted` trait.
If `packed-refs` was already sorted, then (if the system allows it) we
can use the mmapped file contents directly. But if the system doesn't
allow a file that is currently mmapped to be replaced using
`rename()`, then it would be bad for us to keep the file mmapped for
any longer than necessary. So, on such systems, always make a copy of
the file contents, either as part of the sorting process, or
afterwards.

Keep a copy of the `packed-refs` file contents in memory for as long
as a `packed_ref_cache` object is in use:
* If the system allows it, keep the `packed-refs` file mmapped.
* If not (either because the system doesn't support `mmap()` at all,
or because a file that is currently mmapped cannot be replaced via
`rename()`), then make a copy of the file's contents in
heap-allocated space, and keep that around instead.
We base the choice of behavior on a new build-time switch,
`MMAP_PREVENTS_DELETE`. By default, this switch is set for Windows
variants.
After this commit, `MMAP_NONE` and `MMAP_TEMPORARY` are still handled
identically. But the next commit will introduce a difference.
This whole change is still pointless, because we only read the
`packed-refs` file contents immediately after instantiating the
`packed_ref_cache`. But that will soon change.

The old code parsed the traits in the `packed-refs` header by looking
for the string " trait " (i.e., the name of the trait with a space on
either side) in the header line. This is fragile, because if any other
implementation of Git forgets to write the trailing space, the last
trait would silently be ignored (and the error might never be
noticed).
So instead, use `string_list_split_in_place()` to split the traits
into tokens then use `unsorted_string_list_has_string()` to look for
the tokens we are interested in. This means that we can read the
traits correctly even if the header line is missing a trailing
space (or indeed, if it is missing the space after the colon, or if it
has multiple spaces somewhere).
However, older Git clients (and perhaps other Git implementations)
still require the surrounding spaces, so we still have to output the
header with a trailing space.

Extract some helper functions for reporting errors. While we're at it,
prevent them from spewing unlimited output to the terminal. These
functions will soon have more callers.
These functions accept the problematic line as a `(ptr, len)` pair
rather than a NUL-terminated string, and `die_invalid_line()` checks
for an EOL itself, because these calling conventions will be
convenient for future callers. (Efficiency is not a concern here
because these functions are only ever called if the `packed-refs` file
is corrupt.)

If the underlying iterator is ordered, then `prefix_ref_iterator` can
stop as soon as it sees a refname that comes after the prefix. This
will rarely make a big difference now, because `ref_cache_iterator`
only iterates over the directory containing the prefix (and usually
the prefix will span a whole directory anyway). But if *hint, hint* a
future reference backend doesn't itself know where to stop the
iteration, then this optimization will be a big win.
Note that there is no guarantee that the underlying iterator doesn't
include output preceding the prefix, so we have to skip over any
unwanted references before we get to the ones that we want.

References are iterated over in order by refname, but reflogs are not.
Some consumers of reference iteration care about the difference. Teach
each `ref_iterator` to keep track of whether its output is ordered.
`overlay_ref_iterator` is one of the picky consumers. Add a sanity
check in `overlay_ref_iterator_begin()` to verify that its inputs are
ordered.

The prior commit converted many sites to check the return
value of write_in_full() for negativity, rather than a
mismatch with the input length. This patch covers similar
cases, but where the return value is stored in an
intermediate variable. These should get the same treatment,
but they need to be reviewed more carefully since it would
be a bug if the return value is stored in an unsigned type
(which indeed, it is in one of the cases).

The return value of write_in_full() is either "-1", or the
requested number of bytes[1]. If we make a partial write
before seeing an error, we still return -1, not a partial
value. This goes back to f6aa66cb95 (write_in_full: really
write in full or return error on disk full., 2007-01-11).
So checking anything except "was the return value negative"
is pointless. And there are a couple of reasons not to do
so:
1. It can do a funny signed/unsigned comparison. If your
"len" is signed (e.g., a size_t) then the compiler will
promote the "-1" to its unsigned variant.
This works out for "!= len" (unless you really were
trying to write the maximum size_t bytes), but is a
bug if you check "< len" (an example of which was fixed
recently in config.c).
We should avoid promoting the mental model that you
need to check the length at all, so that new sites are
not tempted to copy us.
2. Checking for a negative value is shorter to type,
especially when the length is an expression.
3. Linus says so. In d34cf19b89 (Clean up write_in_full()
users, 2007-01-11), right after the write_in_full()
semantics were changed, he wrote:
I really wish every "write_in_full()" user would just
check against "<0" now, but this fixes the nasty and
stupid ones.
Appeals to authority aside, this makes it clear that
writing it this way does not have an intentional
benefit. It's a historical curiosity that we never
bothered to clean up (and which was undoubtedly
cargo-culted into new sites).
So let's convert these obviously-correct cases (this
includes write_str_in_full(), which is just a wrapper for
write_in_full()).
[1] A careful reader may notice there is one way that
write_in_full() can return a different value. If we ask
write() to write N bytes and get a return value that is
_larger_ than N, we could return a larger total. But
besides the fact that this would imply a totally broken
version of write(), it would already invoke undefined
behavior. Our internal remaining counter is an unsigned
size_t, which means that subtracting too many byte will
wrap it around to a very large number. So we'll instantly
begin reading off the end of the buffer, trying to write
gigabytes (or petabytes) of data.

An earlier patch rewrote `split_symref_update()` to add a copy of a
string to a string list instead of adding the original string. That was
so that the original string could be freed in a later patch, but it is
also conceptually cleaner, since now all calls to `string_list_insert()`
and `string_list_append()` add `update->refname`. --- Except a literal
"HEAD" is added in `split_head_update()`.
Restructure `split_head_update()` in the same way as the earlier patch
did for `split_symref_update()`. This does not correct any practical
problem, but makes things conceptually cleaner. The downside is a call
to `string_list_has_string()`, which should be relatively cheap.

split_symref_update() receives a string-pointer `referent` and adds it
to the list of `affected_refnames`. The list simply holds on to the
pointers it is given, it does not copy the strings and it does not ever
free them. The `referent` string in split_symref_update() belongs to a
string buffer in the caller. After we return, the string will be leaked.
In the next patch, we want to properly release the string buffer in the
caller, but we can't safely do so until we've made sure that
`affected_refnames` will not be holding on to a pointer to the string.
We could configure the list to handle its own resources, but it would
mean some alloc/free-churning. The list is already handling other
strings (through other code paths) which we do not need to worry about,
and we'd be memory-churning those strings too, completely unnecessary.
Observe that split_symref_update() creates a `new_update`-object through
ref_transaction_add_update(), after which `new_update->refname` is a
copy of `referent`. The difference is, this copy will be freed, and it
will be freed *after* `affected_refnames` has been cleared.
Rearrange the handling of `referent`, so that we don't add it directly
to `affected_refnames`. Instead, first just check whether `referent`
exists in the string list, and later add `new_update->refname`.

When processing a `files_ref_store` transaction, it is sometimes
necessary to delete some references from the "packed-refs" file. Do
that using a reference transaction conducted against the
`packed_ref_store`.
This change further decouples `files_ref_store` from
`packed_ref_store`. It also fixes multiple problems, including the two
revealed by test cases added in the previous commit.
First, the old code didn't obtain the `packed-refs` lock until
`files_transaction_finish()`. This means that a failure to acquire the
`packed-refs` lock (e.g., due to contention with another process)
wasn't detected until it was too late (problems like this are supposed
to be detected in the "prepare" phase). The new code acquires the
`packed-refs` lock in `files_transaction_prepare()`, the same stage of
the processing when the loose reference locks are being acquired,
removing another reason why the "prepare" phase might succeed and the
"finish" phase might nevertheless fail.
Second, the old code deleted the loose version of a reference before
deleting any packed version of the same reference. This left a moment
when another process might think that the packed version of the
reference is current, which is incorrect. (Even worse, the packed
version of the reference can be arbitrarily old, and might even point
at an object that has since been garbage-collected.)
Third, if a reference deletion fails to acquire the `packed-refs` lock
altogether, then the old code might leave the repository in the
incorrect state (possibly corrupt) described in the previous
paragraph.
Now we activate the new "packed-refs" file (sans any references that
are being deleted) *before* deleting the corresponding loose
references. But we hold the "packed-refs" lock until after the loose
references have been finalized, thus preventing a simultaneous
"pack-refs" process from packing the loose version of the reference in
the time gap, which would otherwise defeat our attempt to delete it.
