2b2a5be394 each_ref_fn: change to take an object_id parameter
Change typedef each_ref_fn to take a "const struct object_id *oid"
parameter instead of "const unsigned char *sha1".

To aid this transition, implement an adapter that can be used to wrap
old-style functions matching the old typedef, which is now called
"each_ref_sha1_fn"), and make such functions callable via the new
interface. This requires the old function and its cb_data to be
wrapped in a "struct each_ref_fn_sha1_adapter", and that object to be
used as the cb_data for an adapter function, each_ref_fn_adapter().

This is an enormous diff, but most of it consists of simple,
mechanical changes to the sites that call any of the "for_each_ref"
family of functions. Subsequent to this change, the call sites can be
rewritten one by one to use the new interface.

68ee628932 upload-pack: optionally allow fetching reachable sha1
With uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant configuration option set on the
server side, "git fetch" can make a request with a "want" line that names
an object that has not been advertised (likely to have been obtained out
of band or from a submodule pointer). Only objects reachable from the
branch tips, i.e. the union of advertised branches and branches hidden by
transfer.hideRefs, will be processed. Note that there is an associated
cost of having to walk back the history to check the reachability.

This feature can be used when obtaining the content of a certain commit,
for which the sha1 is known, without the need of cloning the whole
repository, especially if a shallow fetch is used. Useful cases are e.g.
repositories containing large files in the history, fetching only the
needed data for a submodule checkout, when sharing a sha1 without telling
which exact branch it belongs to and in Gerrit, if you think in terms of
commits instead of change numbers. (The Gerrit case has already been
solved through allowTipSHA1InWant as every Gerrit change has a ref.)

9e3751d443 remote.c: drop "remote" pointer from "struct branch"
When we create each branch struct, we fill in the
"remote_name" field from the config, and then fill in the
actual "remote" field (with a "struct remote") based on that
name. However, it turns out that nobody really cares about
the latter field. The only two sites that access it at all
are:

  1. git-merge, which uses it to notice when the branch does
     not have a remote defined. But we can easily replace this
     with looking at remote_name instead.

  2. remote.c itself, when setting up the @{upstream} merge
     config. But we don't need to save the "remote" in the
     "struct branch" for that; we can just look it up for
     the duration of the operation.

So there is no need to have both fields; they are redundant
with each other (the struct remote contains the name, or you
can look up the struct from the name). It would be nice to
simplify this, especially as we are going to add matching
pushremote config in a future patch (and it would be nice to
keep them consistent).

So which one do we keep and which one do we get rid of?

If we had a lot of callers accessing the struct, it would be
more efficient to keep it (since you have to do a lookup to
go from the name to the struct, but not vice versa). But we
don't have a lot of callers; we have exactly one, so
efficiency doesn't matter. We can decide this based on
simplicity and readability.

And the meaning of the struct value is somewhat unclear. Is
it always the remote matching remote_name? If remote_name is
NULL (i.e., no per-branch config), does the struct fall back
to the "origin" remote, or is it also NULL? These questions
will get even more tricky with pushremotes, whose fallback
behavior is more complicated. So let's just store the name,
which pretty clearly represents the branch.*.remote config.
Any lookup or fallback behavior can then be implemented in
helper functions.

1e8fef609e untracked cache: guard and disable on system changes
If the user enables untracked cache, then

 - move worktree to an unsupported filesystem
 - or simply upgrade OS
 - or move the whole (portable) disk from one machine to another
 - or access a shared fs from another machine

there's no guarantee that untracked cache can still function properly.
Record the worktree location and OS footprint in the cache. If it
changes, err on the safe side and disable the cache. The user can
'update-index --untracked-cache' again to make sure all conditions are
met.

This adds a new requirement that setup_git_directory* must be called
before read_cache() because we need worktree location by then, or the
cache is dropped.

This change does not cover all bases, you can fool it if you try
hard. The point is to stop accidents.

bdfdaa4978 strbuf.h: integrate api-strbuf.txt documentation
Some of strbuf is documented as comments above functions,
and some is separate in Documentation/technical/api-strbuf.txt.
This makes it annoying to find the appropriate documentation.
We'd rather have it all in one place, which means all in the
text document, or all in the header.

Let's choose the header as that place. Even though the
formatting is not quite as pretty, this keeps the
documentation close to the related code.  The hope is that
this makes it easier to find what you want (human-readable
comments are right next to the C declarations), and easier
for writers to keep the documentation up to date.

This is more or less a straight import of the text from
api-strbuf.txt into C comments, complete with asciidoc
formatting. The exceptions are:

 1. All comments created in this way are started with "/**"
    to indicate they are part of the API documentation. This
    may help later with extracting the text to pretty-print
    it.

 2. Function descriptions do not repeat the function name,
    as it is available in the context directly below.  So:

      `strbuf_add`::

          Add data of given length to the buffer.

    from api-strbuf.txt becomes:

      /**
       * Add data of given length to the buffer.
       */
      void strbuf_add(struct strbuf *sb, const void *, size_t);

    As a result, any block-continuation required in asciidoc
    for that list item was dropped in favor of straight
    blank-line paragraph (since it is not necessary when we
    are not in a list item).

 3. There is minor re-wording to integrate existing comments
    and api-strbuf text. In each case, I took whichever
    version was more descriptive, and eliminated any
    redundancies. In one case, for strbuf_addstr, the api
    documentation gave its inline definition; I eliminated
    this as redundant with the actual definition, which can
    be seen directly below the comment.

 4. The functions in the header file are re-ordered to match
    the ordering of the API documentation, under the
    assumption that more thought went into the grouping
    there.

59b386526a credential: let helpers tell us to quit
When we are trying to fill a credential, we loop over the
set of defined credential-helpers, then fall back to running
askpass, and then finally prompt on the terminal. Helpers
which cannot find a credential are free to tell us nothing,
but they cannot currently ask us to stop prompting.

This patch lets them provide a "quit" attribute, which asks
us to stop the process entirely (avoiding running more
helpers, as well as the askpass/terminal prompt).

This has a few possible uses:

  1. A helper which prompts the user itself (e.g., in a
     dialog) can provide a "cancel" button to the user to
     stop further prompts.

  2. Some helpers may know that prompting cannot possibly
     work. For example, if their role is to broker a ticket
     from an external auth system and that auth system
     cannot be contacted, there is no point in continuing
     (we need a ticket to authenticate, and the user cannot
     provide one by typing it in).

751bacedaa commit_lock_file_to(): refactor a helper out of commit_lock_file()
commit_locked_index(), when writing to an alternate index file,
duplicates (poorly) the code in commit_lock_file(). And anyway, it
shouldn't have to know so much about the internal workings of lockfile
objects. So extract a new function commit_lock_file_to() that does the
work common to the two functions, and call it from both
commit_lock_file() and commit_locked_index().

d75145acf6 api-lockfile: document edge cases
* Document the behavior of commit_lock_file() when it fails, namely
  that it rolls back the lock_file object and sets errno
  appropriately.

* Document the behavior of rollback_lock_file() when called for a
  lock_file object that has already been committed or rolled back,
  namely that it is a NOOP.

8e86c155d2 close_lock_file(): if close fails, roll back
If closing an open lockfile fails, then we cannot be sure of the
contents of the lockfile, so there is nothing sensible to do but
delete it. This change also insures that the lock_file object is left
in a defined state in this error path (namely, unlocked).

The only caller that is ultimately affected by this change is
try_merge_strategy() -> write_locked_index(), which can call
close_lock_file() via various execution paths. This caller uses a
static lock_file object which previously could have been reused after
a failed close_lock_file() even though it was still in locked state.
This change causes the lock_file object to be unlocked on failure,
thus fixing this error-handling path.

8a1c7533e2 commit_lock_file(): die() if called for unlocked lockfile object
It was previously a bug to call commit_lock_file() with a lock_file
object that was not active (an illegal access would happen within the
function).  It was presumably never done, but this would be an easy
programming error to overlook.  So before continuing, do a consistency
check that the lock_file object really is locked.

3ac22f82ed add macro REALLOC_ARRAY
The macro ALLOC_GROW manages several aspects of dynamic memory
allocations for arrays: It performs overprovisioning in order to avoid
reallocations in future calls, updates the allocation size variable,
multiplies the item size and thus allows users to simply specify the
item count, performs the reallocation and updates the array pointer.

Sometimes this is too much.  Add the macro REALLOC_ARRAY, which only
takes care of the latter three points and allows users to specfiy the
number of items the array can store.  It can increase and also decrease
the size.  Using the macro avoid duplicating the variable name and
takes care of the item sizes automatically.

b89363e4a5 signed push: fortify against replay attacks
In order to prevent a valid push certificate for pushing into an
repository from getting replayed in a different push operation, send
a nonce string from the receive-pack process and have the signer
include it in the push certificate.  The receiving end uses an HMAC
hash of the path to the repository it serves and the current time
stamp, hashed with a secret seed (the secret seed does not have to
be per-repository but can be defined in /etc/gitconfig) to generate
the nonce, in order to ensure that a random third party cannot forge
a nonce that looks like it originated from it.

The original nonce is exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE for the hooks
to examine and match against the value on the "nonce" header in the
certificate to notice a replay, but returned "nonce" header in the
push certificate is examined by receive-pack and the result is
exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS, whose value would be "OK"
if the nonce recorded in the certificate matches what we expect, so
that the hooks can more easily check.

9be89160e7 signed push: add "pushee" header to push certificate
Record the URL of the intended recipient for a push (after
anonymizing it if it has authentication material) on a new "pushee
URL" header.  Because the networking configuration (SSH-tunnels,
proxies, etc.) on the pushing user's side varies, the receiving
repository may not know the single canonical URL all the pushing
users would refer it as (besides, many sites allow pushing over
ssh://host/path and https://host/path protocols to the same
repository but with different local part of the path).  So this
value may not be reliably used for replay-attack prevention
purposes, but this will still serve as a human readable hint to
identify the repository the certificate refers to.

4adf569dea signed push: remove duplicated protocol info
With the interim protocol, we used to send the update commands even
though we already send a signed copy of the same information when
push certificate is in use.  Update the send-pack/receive-pack pair
not to do so.

The notable thing on the receive-pack side is that it makes sure
that there is no command sent over the traditional protocol packet
outside the push certificate.  Otherwise a pusher can claim to be
pushing one set of ref updates in the signed certificate while
issuing commands to update unrelated refs, and such an update will
evade later audits.

Finally, start documenting the protocol.
