Since much of the infrastructure does not work correctly with

Similarly, change "git check-ref-format" to reject unnormalized
refnames by default. But add an option --normalize, which causes "git

and print the normalized refname. This is exactly the behavior of the

Previously most bad characters were indicated by returning 1, but "*"
was special-cased to return 2 instead of 1. One caller examined the
return value to see whether the special case occurred.
But it is easier (to document and understand) for bad_ref_char()
simply to return a boolean value, treating "*" like any other bad
character. Special-case the handling of "*" (which only occurs in
very specific circumstances) at the caller. The resulting calling
code thereby also becomes more transparent.

Currently we linearly search through lists of refs when we need to
find a specific ref. This can be very slow if we need to lookup a
large number of refs. By changing to a binary search we can make this
faster.
In order to be able to use a binary search we need to change from
using linked lists to arrays, which we can manage using ALLOC_GROW.
We can now also use the standard library qsort function to sort the
refs arrays.

get_ref_dir is called recursively for subdirectories, which means that
we were calling sort_ref_list for each directory of refs instead of
once for all the refs. This is a massive wast of processing, so now
just call sort_ref_list on the result of the top-level get_ref_dir, so
that the sort is only done once.
In the common case of only a few different directories of refs the
difference isn't very noticable, but it becomes very noticeable when
you have a large number of direcotries containing refs (e.g. as
created by Gerrit).

Add support for dividing the refs of a single repository into multiple
namespaces, each of which can have its own branches, tags, and HEAD.
Git can expose each namespace as an independent repository to pull from
and push to, while sharing the object store, and exposing all the refs
to operations such as git-gc.
Storing multiple repositories as namespaces of a single repository
avoids storing duplicate copies of the same objects, such as when
storing multiple branches of the same source. The alternates mechanism
provides similar support for avoiding duplicates, but alternates do not
prevent duplication between new objects added to the repositories
without ongoing maintenance, while namespaces do.
To specify a namespace, set the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable to
the namespace. For each ref namespace, git stores the corresponding
refs in a directory under refs/namespaces/. For example,
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/. You can
also specify namespaces via the --namespace option to git.
Note that namespaces which include a / will expand to a hierarchy of
namespaces; for example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar will store refs under
refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/. This makes paths in
GIT_NAMESPACE behave hierarchically, so that cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar produces the same result as cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo and cloning from that repo with GIT_NAMESPACE=bar. It
also avoids ambiguity with strange namespace paths such as
foo/refs/heads/, which could otherwise generate directory/file conflicts
within the refs directory.
Add the infrastructure for ref namespaces: handle the GIT_NAMESPACE
environment variable and --namespace option, and support iterating over
refs in a namespace.

The do_for_each_ref iteration function accepts a prefix and a trim, and
checks for the prefix on each ref before passing in that ref; it also
supports trimming off part of the ref before passing it. However,
do_for_each_ref used trim as the length of the prefix to check, ignoring
the actual length of the prefix. Switch to using prefixcmp, checking
the entire length of the prefix string, to properly support a trim value
different than the length of the prefix.
Several callers passed a prefix of "refs/" to filter out everything
outside of refs/, but a trim of 0 to avoid trimming off the "refs/"; the
trim of 0 meant that the filter of "refs/" no longer applied. Change
these callers to pass an empty prefix instead, to avoid changing the
existing behavior. Various callers count on this lack of filtering,
such as receive-pack which uses add_extra_ref to add alternates as refs
named ".have"; adding filtering would break that, causing
t5501-fetch-push-alternates.sh to fail. That lack of filtering doesn't
currently have any other effect, since the loose ref functions can never
supply refs outside of "refs/", and packed-refs will not normally
include such refs unless manually edited.

When create a new branch, we fed "refs/heads/<proposed name>" as a string
to get_sha1() and expected it to fail when a branch already exists.
The right way to check if a ref exists is to check with resolve_ref().
A naïve solution that might appear attractive but does not work is to
forbid slashes in get_describe_name() but that will not work. A describe
name is is in the form of "ANYTHING-g<short sha1>", and that ANYTHING part
comes from a original tag name used in the repository the user ran the
describe command. A sick user could have a confusing hierarchical tag
whose name is "refs/heads/foobar" (stored as refs/tags/refs/heads/foobar")
to generate a describe name "refs/heads/foobar-6-g02ac983", and we should
be able to use that name to refer to the object whose name is 02ac983.

Brandon Casey noticed that t5505 had accidentally broken its && chain,
hiding inconsistency between the code that writes the warning to the
standard output and the test that expects to see the warning on the
standard error, which was introduced by f8948e2 (remote prune: warn
dangling symrefs, 2009-02-08).
It turns out that the issue is deeper than that. After f8948e2, a symref
that is dangling is marked with a NULL sha1, and the idea of using NULL
sha1 to mean a deleted ref was scrapped, but somehow a follow-up eafb452
(do_one_ref(): null_sha1 check is not about broken ref, 2009-07-22)
incorrectly reorganized do_one_ref(), still thinking NULL sha1 is never
used in the code.
Fix this by:
- adopt Brandon's fix to t5505 test;
- introduce REF_BROKEN flag to mark a ref that fails to resolve (dangling
symref);
- move the check for broken ref back inside the "if we are skipping
dangling refs" code block.

As Vladimir reported, "git log -g refs/stash" surprisingly showed the reflog
of HEAD if the message in the reflog file was too long. To fix this, convert
for_each_recent_reflog_ent() to use strbuf_getwholeline() instead of fgets(),
for safety and to avoid any size limits for reflog entries.
Also reverse the logic of the part of the function that only looks at file
tails. It used to close the file if fgets() succeeded. The following
fgets() call in the while loop was likely to fail in this case, too, so
passing an offset to for_each_recent_reflog_ent() never worked. Change it to
error out if strbuf_getwholeline() fails instead.

The "for_each_{tag,branch,remote,replace,}_ref" functions are
redefined in terms of "for_each_ref_in" so that we can lose the
hardcoded length of prefix strings from the code.

We already skip over loose refs under $GIT_DIR/refs if the name
ends with ".lock", so creating a branch named "foo.lock" will not
appear in the output of "git branch", "git for-each-ref", nor will
its commit be considered reachable by "git rev-list --all".
In the latter case this is especially evil, as it may cause
repository corruption when objects reachable only through such a
ref are deleted by "git prune".
It should be reasonably safe to deny use of ".lock" as a ref suffix.
In prior versions of Git such branches would be "phantom branches";
you can create it, but you can't see it in "git branch" output.

This changes the rules for refnames to forbid:
(1) a refname that contains "@{" in it.
Some people and foreign SCM converter may have named their branches
as frotz@24 and we still want to keep supporting it.
However, "git branch frotz@{24}" is a disaster. It cannot even
checked out because "git checkout frotz@{24}" will interpret it as
"detach the HEAD at twenty-fourth reflog entry of the frotz branch".
(2) a refname that ends with a dot.
We already reject a path component that begins with a dot, primarily
to avoid ambiguous range interpretation. If we allowed ".B" as a
valid ref, it is unclear if "A...B" means "in dot-B but not in A" or
"either in A or B but not in both".
But for this to be complete, we need also to forbid "A." to avoid "in
B but not in A-dot". This was not a problem in the original range
notation, but we should have added this restriction when three-dot
notation was introduced.
Unlike "no dot at the beginning of any path component" rule, this
rule does not have to be "no dot at the end of any path component",
because you cannot abbreviate the tail end away, similar to you can
say "dot-B" to mean "refs/heads/dot-B".
For these reasons, it is not likely people created branches with these
names on purpose, but we have allowed such names to be used for quite some
time, and it is possible that people created such branches by mistake or
by accident.
To help people with branches with such unfortunate names to recover,
we still allow "branch -d 'bad.'" to delete such branches, and also allow
"branch -m bad. good" to rename them.

The result should be consistent between fetch and push, so we ought to
use the same code in both cases, even though it's short.

The latter topic changes the definition of how refspec's src and dst side
is stored in-core; it used to be that the asterisk for pattern was
omitted, but now it is included. The former topic handcrafts an old style
refspec to feed the refspec matching machinery that lacks the asterisk and
triggers an error.
This resolves the semantic clash between the two topics early before they
need to be merged to integration branches.

In order to keep the requirements strict, each * has to be a full path
component, and there may only be one * per side. This requirement is
enforced entirely by check_ref_format(); the matching implementation
will substitute the whatever matches the * in the lhs for the * in the
rhs.

In order to do anything more capable with refspecs, the first step is
to keep the entire input. Additionally, validate patterns by checking
for the ref matching the rules for a pattern as given by
check_ref_format(). This requires a slight change to
check_ref_format() to make it enforce the requirement that the '*'
immediately follow a '/'.

Since it doesn't actually touch its argument, this makes
sense.
However, we still want to return a non-const version (which
requires a cast) so that this:
struct ref *a, *b;
a = find_ref_by_name(b);
works. Unfortunately, you can also silently strip the const
from a variable:
struct ref *a;
const struct ref *b;
a = find_ref_by_name(b);
This is a classic C const problem because there is no way to
say "return the type with the same constness that was passed
to us"; we provide the same semantics as standard library
functions like strchr.

If you prune from the remote "frotz" that deleted the ref your tracking
branch remotes/frotz/HEAD points at, the symbolic ref will become
dangling. We used to detect this as an error condition and issued a
message every time refs are enumerated.
This stops the error message, but moves the warning to "remote prune".

This can be used to scan only the last few kilobytes of a reflog, as a
cheap optimization when the data you are looking for is likely to be
found near the end of it. The caller is expected to fall back to the
full scan if that is not the case.

We force writing a ref if it does not exist. Originally, we only had to look
for the ref file to check if it existed. Now we have to look for a packed ref
as well. Luckily, resolve_ref already does all the work for us.

In this case we did nothing in the past, but we should delete the
reference in fact.
The problem was that when the symref is not packed but the referenced
ref is packed, then we assumed that the symref is packed as well, but
symrefs are never packed.
