Jonathan Tan	e2842b39f4	fetch-pack: unify ref in and out param When a user fetches: - at least one up-to-date ref and at least one non-up-to-date ref, - using HTTP with protocol v0 (or something else that uses the fetch command of a remote helper) some refs might not be updated after the fetch. This bug was introduced in commit `989b8c4452` ("fetch-pack: put shallow info in output parameter", 2018-06-28) which allowed transports to report the refs that they have fetched in a new out-parameter "fetched_refs". If they do so, transport_fetch_refs() makes this information available to its caller. Users of "fetched_refs" rely on the following 3 properties: (1) it is the complete list of refs that was passed to transport_fetch_refs(), (2) it has shallow information (REF_STATUS_REJECT_SHALLOW set if relevant), and (3) it has updated OIDs if ref-in-want was used (introduced after `989b8c4452`). In an effort to satisfy (1), whenever transport_fetch_refs() filters the refs sent to the transport, it re-adds the filtered refs to whatever the transport supplies before returning it to the user. However, the implementation in `989b8c4452` unconditionally re-adds the filtered refs without checking if the transport refrained from reporting anything in "fetched_refs" (which it is allowed to do), resulting in an incomplete list, no longer satisfying (1). An earlier effort to resolve this [1] solved the issue by readding the filtered refs only if the transport did not refrain from reporting in "fetched_refs", but after further discussion, it seems that the better solution is to revert the API change that introduced "fetched_refs". This API change was first suggested as part of a ref-in-want implementation that allowed for ref patterns and, thus, there could be drastic differences between the input refs and the refs actually fetched [2]; we eventually decided to only allow exact ref names, but this API change remained even though its necessity was decreased. Therefore, revert this API change by reverting commit `989b8c4452`, and make receive_wanted_refs() update the OIDs in the sought array (like how update_shallow() updates shallow information in the sought array) instead. A test is also included to show that the user-visible bug discussed at the beginning of this commit message no longer exists.

Brandon Williams	989b8c4452	fetch-pack: put shallow info in output parameter Expand the transport fetch method signature, by adding an output parameter, to allow transports to return information about the refs they have fetched. Then communicate shallow status information through this mechanism instead of by modifying the input list of refs. This does require clients to sometimes generate the ref map twice: once from the list of refs provided by the remote (as is currently done) and potentially once from the new list of refs that the fetch mechanism provides.

Jonathan Tan	c0c578b33c	unpack-trees: batch fetching of missing blobs When running checkout, first prefetch all blobs that are to be updated but are missing. This means that only one pack is downloaded during such operations, instead of one per missing blob. This operates only on the blob level - if a repository has a missing tree, they are still fetched one at a time. This does not use the delayed checkout mechanism introduced in commit `2841e8f` ("convert: add "status=delayed" to filter process protocol", 2017-06-30) due to significant conceptual differences - in particular, for partial clones, we already know what needs to be fetched based on the contents of the local repo alone, whereas for status=delayed, it is the filter process that tells us what needs to be checked in the end.

Jonathan Tan	8b4c0103a9	sha1_file: support lazily fetching missing objects Teach sha1_file to fetch objects from the remote configured in extensions.partialclone whenever an object is requested but missing. The fetching of objects can be suppressed through a global variable. This is used by fsck and index-pack. However, by default, such fetching is not suppressed. This is meant as a temporary measure to ensure that all Git commands work in such a situation. Future patches will update some commands to either tolerate missing objects (without fetching them) or be more efficient in fetching them. In order to determine the code changes in sha1_file.c necessary, I investigated the following: (1) functions in sha1_file.c that take in a hash, without the user regarding how the object is stored (loose or packed) (2) functions in packfile.c (because I need to check callers that know about the loose/packed distinction and operate on both differently, and ensure that they can handle the concept of objects that are neither loose nor packed) (1) is handled by the modification to sha1_object_info_extended(). For (2), I looked at for_each_packed_object and others. For for_each_packed_object, the callers either already work or are fixed in this patch: - reachable - only to find recent objects - builtin/fsck - already knows about missing objects - builtin/cat-file - warning message added in this commit Callers of the other functions do not need to be changed: - parse_pack_index - http - indirectly from http_get_info_packs - find_pack_entry_one - this searches a single pack that is provided as an argument; the caller already knows (through other means) that the sought object is in a specific pack - find_sha1_pack - fast-import - appears to be an optimization to not store a file if it is already in a pack - http-walker - to search through a struct alt_base - http-push - to search through remote packs - has_sha1_pack - builtin/fsck - already knows about promisor objects - builtin/count-objects - informational purposes only (check if loose object is also packed) - builtin/prune-packed - check if object to be pruned is packed (if not, don't prune it) - revision - used to exclude packed objects if requested by user - diff - just for optimization Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	7 years ago
Jonathan Tan	88e2f9ed8e	introduce fetch-object: fetch one promisor object Introduce fetch-object, providing the ability to fetch one object from a promisor remote. This uses fetch-pack. To do this, the transport mechanism has been updated with 2 flags, "from-promisor" to indicate that the resulting pack comes from a promisor remote (and thus should be annotated as such by index-pack), and "no-dependents" to indicate that only the objects themselves need to be fetched (but fetching additional objects is nevertheless safe). Whenever "no-dependents" is used, fetch-pack will refrain from using any object flags, because it is most likely invoked as part of a dynamic object fetch by another Git command (which may itself use object flags). An alternative to this is to leave fetch-pack alone, and instead update the allocation of flags so that fetch-pack's flags never overlap with any others, but this will end up shrinking the number of flags available to nearly every other Git command (that is, every Git command that accesses objects), so the approach in this commit was used instead. This will be tested in a subsequent commit. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	7 years ago
