Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force",
by requiring that the overwritten remote ref to be unchanged since
the new history to replace it was prepared.
The machinery is more or less ready. The "--force" option is again
the big red button to override any safety, thanks to J6t's sanity
(the original round allowed --lockref to defeat --force).
The logic to choose the default implemented here is fragile
(e.g. "git fetch" after seeing a failure will update the
remote-tracking branch and will make the next "push" pass,
defeating the safety pretty easily). It is suitable only for the
simplest workflows, and it may hurt users more than it helps them.

The recent "short-cut clone connectivity check" topic broke a

* nd/fetch-pack-shallow-fix:
fetch-pack: do not remove .git/shallow file when --depth is not specified
fetch_pack() can remove .git/shallow file when a shallow repository
becomes a full one again. This behavior is triggered incorrectly when
tags are also fetched because fetch_pack() will be called twice. At
the first fetch_pack() call:
- shallow_lock is set up
- alternate_shallow_file points to shallow_lock.filename, which is
"shallow.lock"
- commit_lock_file is called, which sets shallow_lock.filename to "".
alternate_shallow_file also becomes "" because it points to the
same memory.
At the second call, setup_alternate_shallow() is not called and
alternate_shallow_file remains "". It's mistaken as unshallow case and
.git/shallow is removed. The end result is a broken repository.
Fix this by always initializing alternate_shallow_file when
fetch_pack() is called. As an extra measure, check if args->depth > 0
before commit/rollback shallow file.

The definition of "struct ref" in "cache.h", a header file so
central to the system, always confused me. This structure is not
about the local ref used by sha1-name API to name local objects.
It is what refspecs are expanded into, after finding out what refs
the other side has, to define what refs are updated after object
transfer succeeds to what values. It belongs to "remote.h" together
with "struct refspec".
While we are at it, also move the types and functions related to the
Git transport connection to a new header file connect.h

When we call find_common to start finding common ancestors
with the remote side of a fetch, the first thing we do is
insert the tip of each ref into our rev_list linked list. We
keep the list sorted the whole time with
commit_list_insert_by_date, which means our insertion ends
up doing O(n^2) timestamp comparisons.
We could teach rev_list_push to use an unsorted list, and
then sort it once after we have added each ref. However, in
get_rev, we process the list by popping commits off the
front and adding parents back in timestamp-sorted order. So
that procedure would still operate on the large list.
Instead, we can replace the linked list with a heap-based
priority queue, which can do O(log n) insertion, making the
whole insertion procedure O(n log n).
As a result of switching to the prio_queue struct, we fix
two minor bugs:
1. When we "pop" a commit in get_rev, and when we clear
the rev_list in find_common, we do not take care to
free the "struct commit_list", and just leak its
memory. With the prio_queue implementation, the memory
management is handled for us.
2. In get_rev, we look at the head commit of the list,
possibly push its parents onto the list, and then "pop"
the front of the list off, assuming it is the same
element that we just peeked at. This is typically going
to be the case, but would not be in the face of clock
skew: the parents are inserted by date, and could
potentially be inserted at the head of the list if they
have a timestamp newer than their descendent. In this
case, we would accidentally pop the parent, and never
process it at all.
The new implementation pulls the commit off of the
queue as we examine it, and so does not suffer from
this problem.
With this patch, a fetch of a single commit into a
repository with 50,000 refs went from:
real 0m7.984s
user 0m7.852s
sys 0m0.120s
to:
real 0m2.017s
user 0m1.884s

We insert the commit pointed to by each ref one-by-one into
the "complete" commit_list using insert_by_date. Because
each insertion is O(n), we end up with O(n^2) behavior.
This typically doesn't matter, because the number of refs is
reasonably small. And even if there are a lot of refs, they
often point to a smaller set of objects (in which case the
optimization in commit ea5f220 keeps our "n" small).
However, in pathological repositories (hundreds of thousands
of refs, each pointing to a unique commit), this quadratic
behavior can make a difference. Since we do not care about
the list order until we have finished building it, we can
simply keep it unsorted during the insertion phase, then
sort it afterwards.
On a repository like the one described above, this dropped
the time to do a no-op fetch from 2.0s to 1.7s. On normal
repositories, it probably does not matter at all, but it
does not hurt to protect ourselves from pathological cases.

In order to make sure the cloned repository is good, we run "rev-list
--objects --not --all $new_refs" on the repository. This is expensive
on large repositories. This patch attempts to mitigate the impact in
this special case.
In the "good" clone case, we only have one pack. If all of the
following are met, we can be sure that all objects reachable from the
new refs exist, which is the intention of running "rev-list ...":
- all refs point to an object in the pack
- there are no dangling pointers in any object in the pack
- no objects in the pack point to objects outside the pack
The second and third checks can be done with the help of index-pack as
a slight variation of --strict check (which introduces a new condition
for the shortcut: pack transfer must be used and the number of objects
large enough to call index-pack). The first is checked in
check_everything_connected after we get an "ok" from index-pack.
"index-pack + new checks" is still faster than the current "index-pack
+ rev-list", which is the whole point of this patch. If any of the
conditions fail, we fall back to the good old but expensive "rev-list
..". In that case it's even more expensive because we have to pay for
the new checks in index-pack. But that should only happen when the
other side is either buggy or malicious.

This shortcut is not applied to shallow clones, partly because shallow
clones should have no more objects than a usual fetch and the cost of
rev-list is acceptable, partly to avoid dealing with corner cases when
grafting is involved.
This shortcut does not apply to unpack-objects code path either

fetch: fetch objects by their exact SHA-1 object names
upload-pack: optionally allow fetching from the tips of hidden refs
fetch: use struct ref to represent refs to be fetched
parse_fetch_refspec(): clarify the codeflow a bit
Most of the callers of packet_read_line just read into a
static 1000-byte buffer (callers which handle arbitrary
binary data already use LARGE_PACKET_MAX). This works fine
in practice, because:
1. The only variable-sized data in these lines is a ref
name, and refs tend to be a lot shorter than 1000
characters.
2. When sending ref lines, git-core always limits itself
to 1000 byte packets.
However, the only limit given in the protocol specification
in Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt is
LARGE_PACKET_MAX; the 1000 byte limit is mentioned only in
pack-protocol.txt, and then only describing what we write,
not as a specific limit for readers.
This patch lets us bump the 1000-byte limit to
LARGE_PACKET_MAX. Even though git-core will never write a
packet where this makes a difference, there are two good
reasons to do this:
1. Other git implementations may have followed
protocol-common.txt and used a larger maximum size. We
don't bump into it in practice because it would involve
very long ref names.
2. We may want to increase the 1000-byte limit one day.
Since packets are transferred before any capabilities,
it's difficult to do this in a backwards-compatible
way. But if we bump the size of buffer the readers can
handle, eventually older versions of git will be
obsolete enough that we can justify bumping the
writers, as well. We don't have plans to do this
anytime soon, but there is no reason not to start the
clock ticking now.
Just bumping all of the reading bufs to LARGE_PACKET_MAX
would waste memory. Instead, since most readers just read
into a temporary buffer anyway, let's provide a single
static buffer that all callers can use. We can further wrap
this detail away by having the packet_read_line wrapper just
use the buffer transparently and return a pointer to the
static storage. That covers most of the cases, and the
remaining ones already read into their own LARGE_PACKET_MAX
buffers.

The packets sent during ref negotiation are all terminated
by newline; even though the code to chomp these newlines is
short, we end up doing it in a lot of places.
This patch teaches packet_read_line to auto-chomp the
trailing newline; this lets us get rid of a lot of inline
chomping code.
As a result, some call-sites which are not reading
line-oriented data (e.g., when reading chunks of packfiles
alongside sideband) transition away from packet_read_line to
the generic packet_read interface. This patch converts all
of the existing callsites.
Since the function signature of packet_read_line does not
change (but its behavior does), there is a possibility of
new callsites being introduced in later commits, silently
introducing an incompatibility. However, since a later
patch in this series will change the signature, such a
commit would have to be merged directly into this commit,
not to the tip of the series; we can therefore ignore the
issue.
This is an internal cleanup and should produce no change of
behavior in the normal case. However, there is one corner
case to note. Callers of packet_read_line have never been
able to tell the difference between a flush packet ("0000")
and an empty packet ("0004"), as both cause packet_read_line
to return a length of 0. Readers treat them identically,
even though Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt says
we must not; it also says that implementations should not
send an empty pkt-line.
By stripping out the newline before the result gets to the
caller, we will now treat the newline-only packet ("0005\n")
the same as an empty packet, which in turn gets treated like
a flush packet. In practice this doesn't matter, as neither
empty nor newline-only packets are part of git's protocols
(at least not for the line-oriented bits, and readers who
are not expecting line-oriented packets will be calling
packet_read directly, anyway). But even if we do decide to
care about the distinction later, it is orthogonal to this
patch. The right place to tighten would be to stop treating
empty packets as flush packets, and this change does not
make doing so any harder.

When we read acks from the remote, we expect either:
ACK <sha1>
or
ACK <sha1> <multi-ack-flag>
We parse the "ACK <sha1>" bit from the line, and then start
looking for the flag strings at "line+45"; if we don't have
them, we assume it's of the first type. But if we do have
the first type, then line+45 is not necessarily inside our
string at all!
It turns out that this works most of the time due to the way
we parse the packets. They should come in with a newline,
and packet_read puts an extra NUL into the buffer, so we end
up with:
ACK <sha1>\n\0
with the newline at offset 44 and the NUL at offset 45. We
then strip the newline, putting a NUL at offset 44. So
when we look at "line+45", we are looking past the end of
our string; but it's OK, because we hit the terminator from
the original string.
This breaks down, however, if the other side does not
terminate their packets with a newline. In that case, our
packet is one character shorter, and we start looking
through uninitialized memory for the flag. No known
implementation sends such a packet, so it has never come up
in practice.
This patch tightens the check by looking for a short,
flagless ACK before trying to parse the flag.

The intent of the commit 'fetch & clone: do not output progress when
not on a tty' was to make fetching and cloning less chatty when
output was not redirected (such as in a cron job).
However, there was a serious thinko in that commit. It assumed that
the client _and_ the server got this update at the same time. But
this is obviously not the case, and therefore upload-pack died on
seeing the option "--no-progress".
This patch fixes that issue by making it a protocol option. So, until
your server is updated, you still see the progress, but once the
server has this patch, it will be quiet.
A minor issue was also fixed: when cloning, the checkout did not

A repository containing shallow commits is called shallow.
The advantage of a shallow repository is that even if the upstream

One new thing is that the (abscence of) --thin also enforce it on

The -k or --keep, when provided twice, now causes the fetched pack

Now that index-pack can be streamed with a pack, it is probably a good
idea to use it directly instead of creating a temporary file and running
index-pack afterwards. This way index-pack can abort early whenever a
corruption is encountered even if the pack has not been fully
downloaded, it can display a progress percentage as it knows how much to
expects, and it is a bit faster since the pack indexing is partially
done as data is received. Using fetch -k doesn't need to disable thin
pack generation on the remote end either.

There is no reason not to always do this when both ends agree.
Therefore a client that can accept offsets to delta base always sends
the "ofs-delta" flag. The server will stream a pack with or without
offset to delta base depending on whether that flag is provided or not
with no additional cost.

This is a long overdue fix to the API for for_each_ref() family
of functions. It allows the callers to specify a callback data
pointer, so that the caller does not have to use static
variables to communicate with the callback funciton.
The updated for_each_ref() family takes a function of type
int (*fn)(const char *, const unsigned char *, void *)
and a void pointer as parameters, and calls the function with
the name of the ref and its SHA-1 with the caller-supplied void
pointer as parameters.
The commit updates two callers, builtin-name-rev.c and
builtin-pack-refs.c as an example.

This abstracts away the size of the hash values when copying them
from memory location to memory location, much as the introduction
of hashcmp abstracted away hash value comparsion.
A few call sites were using char* rather than unsigned char* so
I added the cast rather than open hashcpy to be void*. This is a
reasonable tradeoff as most call sites already use unsigned char*
and the existing hashcmp is also declared to be unsigned char*.

This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the
"struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead.
In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which
incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object
when in 64-bit mode.
Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less
obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is
not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually
discarded.
This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the
kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla
archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a
64-bit platform.
There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example,
probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious.
Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer
from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx
small integer constant.

If your repository have more roots than the remote repository
you ask an object for, the remote upload-pack keeps responding
"ack continue" until it fills up its received-have buffer
(currently 256 entries). Usually this is not a problem because
the requester stops traversing the ancestry chain from the commit
it gets "ack continue" for, but this mechanism does not work as
a roadblock when it traverses down the path to the root the
other side does not have.

happened to send them. This changes the order to match the

This does two things.
* A new flag --reference can be used to name a local repository
that is to be used as an alternate. This is in response to
an inquiry by James Cloos in the message on the list
<m3r74ykue7.fsf@lugabout.cloos.reno.nv.us>.
* A new flag --use-separate-remote stops contaminating local
branch namespace by upstream branch names. The upstream
branch heads are copied in .git/refs/remotes/ instead of
.git/refs/heads/ and .git/remotes/origin file is set up to
reflect this as well. It requires to have fetch/pull update
to understand .git/refs/remotes by Eric Wong to further
update the repository cloned this way.
For the former change, git-fetch-pack is taught a new flag --all
to fetch from all the remote heads. Nobody uses the git-clone-pack
with this change, so we could deprecate the command, but removal
of the command will be left to a separate round.

It used to be that "git-unpack-objects" would give nice percentages, but
now that we don't unpack the initial clone pack any more, it doesn't. And
I'd love to do that nice percentage view in the pack objects downloader
too, but the thing doesn't even read the pack header, much less know how
much it's going to get, so I was lazy and didn't.
Instead, it at least prints out how much data it's gotten, and what the
packing speed is. Which makes the user realize that it's actually doing
something useful instead of sitting there silently (and if the recipient
knows how large the final result is, he can at least make a guess about
when it migt be done).
So with this patch, I get something like this on my DSL line:
[torvalds@g5 ~]$ time git clone master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6 clone-test
Packing 188543 objects
48.398MB (154 kB/s)
where even the speed approximation seems to be roughtly correct (even
though my algorithm is a truly stupid one, and only really gives "speed in
the last half second or so").
Anyway, _something_ like this is definitely needed. It could certainly be
better (if it showed the same kind of thing that git-unpack-objects did,
that would be much nicer, but would require parsing the object stream as
it comes in). But this is big step forward, I think.

'git-fetch remote no-such-ref' succeeded without fetching any
ref from the remote. Detect such case and report an error.
Note that this makes 'git-fetch remote master master' to fail,
because the remote branch 'master' matches the first refspec,
and the second refspec is left unmatched, which is detected by
the error checking logic. This is somewhat unintuitive, but
giving the same refspec more than once to git-fetch is useless
in any case so it should not be much of a problem. I'd accept a
patch to change this if somebody cares enough, though.

It was all good and well to check if all remote refs are complete (local
refs or descendants thereof), but we can just as easily use the same
information to avoid sending "want" lines just for the complete objects in
the case that not all remote refs are complete (or their names differ).
Also, git-fetch-pack does not have to ask for descendants of remote refs
which are complete (for now, git-rev-list is told to ignore only the first
parent). That change also eliminates a code path where a popen()ed handle
was not pclose()ed.

If everything is up-to-date locally, we don't need to even ask for a
pack-file from the remote, or try to unpack it.
This is especially important for tags - since the pack-file common commit
logic is based purely on the commit history, it will never be able to find
a common tag, and will thus always end up re-fetching them.
Especially notably, if the tag points to a non-commit (eg a tagged tree),
the pack-file would be unnecessarily big, just because it cannot any most
recent common point between commits for pruning.
Short-circuiting the case where we already have that reference means that
we avoid a lot of these in the common case.
NOTE! This only matches remote ref names against the same local name,
which works well for tags, but is not as generic as it could be. If we
ever need to, we could match against _any_ local ref (if we have it, we
have it), but this "match against same name" is simpler and more
efficient, and covers the common case.
Renaming of refs is common for branch heads, but since those are always
commits, the pack-file generation can optimize that case.
In some cases we might still end up fetching pack-files unnecessarily, but
this at least avoids the re-fetching of tags over and over if you use a
regular
git fetch --tags ...
which was the main reason behind the change.

Oh, well.. FC4 has UTF-8 as the default environment, and I applaud
that, but then it sometimes results in these characters that aren't
actually visible as a problem.
"git_path()" returns a static pathname pointer into the git directory
using a printf-like format specifier.
"head_ref()" works like "for_each_ref()", except for just the HEAD.
It returns the result SHA1 on stdout, so you can do
remote=$(git-fetch-pack host:dir branchname)
and it will unpack the objects and "remote" will be the SHA1 name of the
branch on the other side. You can then save that off, or merge it, or
whatever.
It's meant to be used by "git fetch" for the local and ssh case.
It doesn't actually do the fetching now, but it does discover the common
commit point.
