There are many functions in commit.h that are more related to shallow
repositories than they are to any sort of generic commit machinery.
Likely this began when there were only a few shallow-related functions,
and commit.h seemed a reasonable enough place to put them.
But, now there are a good number of shallow-related functions, and
placing them all in 'commit.h' doesn't make sense.
This patch extracts a 'shallow.h', which takes all of the declarations
from 'commit.h' for functions which already exist in 'shallow.c'. We
will bring the remaining shallow-related functions defined in 'commit.c'
in a subsequent patch.
For now, move only the ones that already are implemented in 'shallow.c',
and update the necessary includes.

In bd0b42aed3 (fetch-pack: do not take shallow lock unnecessarily,
2019-01-10), the author noted that 'is_repository_shallow' produces
visible side-effect(s) by setting 'is_shallow' and 'shallow_stat'.
This is a problem for e.g., fetching with '--update-shallow' in a
shallow repository with 'fetch.writeCommitGraph' enabled, since the
update to '.git/shallow' will cause Git to think that the repository
isn't shallow when it is, thereby circumventing the commit-graph
compatibility check.
This causes problems in shallow repositories with at least shallow refs
that have at least one ancestor (since the client won't have those
objects, and therefore can't take the reachability closure over commits
when writing a commit-graph).
Address this by introducing thin wrappers over 'commit_lock_file' and
'rollback_lock_file' for use specifically when the lock is held over
'.git/shallow'. These wrappers (appropriately called
'commit_shallow_file' and 'rollback_shallow_file') call into their
respective functions in 'lockfile.h', but additionally reset validity
checks used by the shallow machinery.
Replace each instance of 'commit_lock_file' and 'rollback_lock_file'
with 'commit_shallow_file' and 'rollback_shallow_file' when the lock
being held is over the '.git/shallow' file.
As a result, 'prune_shallow' can now only be called once (since
'check_shallow_file_for_update' will die after calling
'reset_repository_shallow'). But, this is OK since we only call
'prune_shallow' at most once per process.

Commit 6462d5eb9a ("fetch: remove fetch_if_missing=0", 2019-11-08)
strove to remove the need for fetch_if_missing=0 from the fetching
mechanism, so it is plausible to attempt removing fetch_if_missing=0
from the lazy-fetching mechanism in promisor-remote as well.
But doing so reveals a bug - when the server does not send an object
pointed to by a tag object, an infinite loop occurs: Git attempts to
fetch the missing object, which causes a deferencing of all refs (for
negotiation), which causes a lazy fetch of that missing object, and so
on. This bug is because of unnecessary use of the fetch negotiator
during lazy fetching - it is not used after initialization, but it is
still initialized (which causes the dereferencing of all refs).
Thus, when the negotiator is not used during fetching, refrain from
initializing it. Then, remove fetch_if_missing from promisor-remote.

Debugging support for lazy cloning has been a bit improved.
* jt/fetch-pack-record-refs-in-the-dot-promisor:
fetch-pack: write fetched refs to .promisor
In fetch_pack() (and all functions it calls), pass
OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT whenever we query an object that could be
a tree or blob that we do not want to be lazy-fetched even if it is
absent. Thus, the only lazy-fetches occurring for trees and blobs are
when resolving deltas.
Thus, we can remove fetch_if_missing=0 from builtin/fetch.c. Remove
this, and also add a test ensuring that such objects are not
lazy-fetched. (We might be able to remove fetch_if_missing=0 from other
places too, but I have limited myself to builtin/fetch.c in this commit
because I have not written tests for the other commands yet.)
Note that commits and tags may still be lazy-fetched. I limited myself
to objects that could be trees or blobs here because Git does not
support creating such commit- and tag-excluding clones yet, and even if
such a clone were manually created, Git does not have good support for
fetching a single commit (when fetching a commit, it and all its
ancestors would be sent).

The specification of promisor packfiles (in partial-clone.txt) states
that the .promisor files that accompany packfiles do not matter (just
like .keep files), so whenever a packfile is fetched from the promisor
remote, Git has been writing empty .promisor files. But these files
could contain more useful information.
So instead of writing empty files, write the refs fetched to these
files. This makes it easier to debug issues with partial clones, as we
can identify what refs (and their associated hashes) were fetched at the
time the packfile was downloaded, and if necessary, compare those hashes
against what the promisor remote reports now.
This is implemented by teaching fetch-pack to write its own non-empty
.promisor file whenever it knows the name of the pack's lockfile. This
covers the case wherein the user runs "git fetch" with an internal
protocol or HTTP protocol v2 (fetch_refs_via_pack() in transport.c sets
lock_pack) and with HTTP protocol v0/v1 (fetch_git() in remote-curl.c
passes "--lock-pack" to "fetch-pack").

A strbuf would seem to be a more natural choice for this object, but it
unfortunately requires initialization besides just zero'ing out the
memory. This results in all container structs, and all containers of
those structs, etc., to also require initialization. Initializing them
all would be more cumbersome that simply using a string_list, which
behaves properly when its contents are zero'd.
For the purposes of code simplification, change behavior in how filter
specs are conveyed over the protocol: do not normalize the tree:<depth>
filter specs since there should be no server in existence that supports

Code clean-up and a fix for "git fetch" by an explicit object name
(as opposed to fetching refs by name).
* jk/fetch-reachability-error-fix:
fetch: do not consider peeled tags as advertised tips
remote.c: make singular free_ref() public
fetch: use free_refs()
pkt-line: prepare buffer before handling ERR packets
upload-pack: send ERR packet for non-tip objects
t5530: check protocol response for "not our ref"
t5516: drop ok=sigpipe from unreachable-want tests
Fix for protocol v2 support in "git fetch-pack" of shallow clones.
* jt/fetch-no-update-shallow-in-proto-v2:
fetch-pack: respect --no-update-shallow in v2
fetch-pack: call prepare_shallow_info only if v0
Our filter_refs() function accidentally considers the target of a peeled
tag to be advertised by the server, even though upload-pack on the
server side does not consider it so. This can result in the client
making a bogus fetch to the server, which will end with the server
complaining "not our ref". Whereas the correct behavior is for the
client to notice that the server will not allow the request and error
out immediately.
So as bugs go, this is not very serious (the outcome is the same either
way -- the fetch fails). But it's worth making the logic here correct
and consistent with other related cases (e.g., fetching an oid that the
server did not mention at all).
The crux of the issue comes from fdb69d33c4 (fetch-pack: always allow
fetching of literal SHA1s, 2017-05-15). After that, the strategy of
filter_refs() is basically:
- for each advertised ref, try to match it with a "sought" ref
provided by the user. Skip any malformed refs (which includes
peeled values like "refs/tags/foo^{}"), and place any unmatched
items onto the unmatched list.
- if there are unmatched sought refs, then put all of the advertised
tips into an oidset, including the unmatched ones.
- for each sought ref, see if it's in the oidset, in which case it's
legal for us to ask the server for it
The problem is in the second step. Our list of unmatched refs includes
the peeled refs, even though upload-pack does not allow them to be
directly fetched. So the simplest fix would be to exclude them during
that step.
However, we can observe that the unmatched list isn't used for anything
else, and is freed at the end. We can just free those malformed refs
immediately. That saves us having to check each ref a second time to see
if it's malformed.
Note that this code only kicks in when "strict" is in effect. I.e., if
we are using the v0 protocol and uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant is
not in effect. With v2, all oids are allowed, and we do not bother
creating or consulting the oidset at all. To future-proof our test
against the upcoming GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION flag, we'll manually mark
it as a v0-only test.

In do_fetch_pack_v2(), the "sought" array is sorted by name, and it is
not subsequently reordered (within the function). Therefore,
receive_wanted_refs() can assume that "sought" is sorted, and can thus
use a binary search when storing wanted-refs retrieved from the server.
Replace the existing linear search with a binary search. This improves
performance significantly when mirror cloning a repository with more
than 1 million refs.

In protocol v0, when sending "shallow" lines, the server distinguishes
between lines caused by the remote repo being shallow and lines caused
by client-specified depth settings. Unless "--update-shallow" is
specified, there is a difference in behavior: refs that reach the former
"shallow" lines, but not the latter, are rejected. But in v2, the server
does not, and the client treats all "shallow" lines like lines caused by
client-specified depth settings.
Full restoration of v0 functionality is not possible without protocol
change, but we can implement a heuristic: if we specify any depth
setting, treat all "shallow" lines like lines caused by client-specified
depth settings (that is, unaffected by "--no-update-shallow"), but
otherwise, treat them like lines caused by the remote repo being shallow
(that is, affected by "--no-update-shallow"). This restores most of v0
behavior, except in the case where a client fetches from a shallow
repository with depth settings.

On platforms where "git fetch" is killed with SIGPIPE (e.g. OSX),
the upload-pack that runs on the other end that hangs up after
detecting an error could cause "git fetch" to die with a signal,
which led to a flakey test. "git fetch" now ignores SIGPIPE during
the network portion of its operation (this is not a problem as we
check the return status from our write(2)s).
* jk/no-sigpipe-during-network-transport:
fetch: ignore SIGPIPE during network operation
fetch: avoid calling write_or_die()
The write_or_die() function has one quirk that a caller might not
expect: when it sees EPIPE from the write() call, it translates that
into a death by SIGPIPE. This doesn't change the overall behavior (the
program exits either way), but it does potentially confuse test scripts
looking for a non-signal exit code.
Let's switch away from using write_or_die() in a few code paths, which
will give us more consistent exit codes. It also gives us the
opportunity to write more descriptive error messages, since we have
context that write_or_die() does not.
Note that this won't do much by itself, since we'd typically be killed
by SIGPIPE before write_or_die() even gets a chance to do its thing.
That will be addressed in the next patch.

When fetching using protocol v2, the remote may send a "shallow-info"
section if the client is shallow. If so, Git as the client currently
takes the shallow file lock, even if the "shallow-info" section is
empty.
This is not a problem except that Git does not support taking the
shallow file lock after modifying the shallow file, because
is_repository_shallow() stores information that is never cleared. And
this take-after-modify occurs when Git does a tag-following fetch from a
shallow repository on a transport that does not support tag following
(since in this case, 2 fetches are performed).
To solve this issue, take the shallow file lock (and perform all other
shallow processing) only if the "shallow-info" section is non-empty;
otherwise, behave as if it were empty.
A full solution (probably, ensuring that any action of committing
shallow file locks also includes clearing the information stored by
is_repository_shallow()) would solve the issue without need for this
patch, but this patch is independently useful (as an optimization to
prevent writing a file in an unnecessary case), hence why I wrote it. I
have included a NEEDSWORK outlining the full solution.

In the Git pack protocol definition, an error packet may appear only in
a certain context. However, servers can face a runtime error (e.g. I/O
error) at an arbitrary timing. This patch changes the protocol to allow
an error packet to be sent instead of any packet.
Without this protocol spec change, when a server cannot process a
request, there's no way to tell that to a client. Since the server
cannot produce a valid response, it would be forced to cut a connection
without telling why. With this protocol spec change, the server can be
more gentle in this situation. An old client may see these error packets
as an unexpected packet, but this is not worse than having an unexpected
EOF.
Following this protocol spec change, the error packet handling code is
moved to pkt-line.c. Implementation wise, this implementation uses
pkt-line to communicate with a subprocess. Since this is not a part of
Git protocol, it's possible that a packet that is not supposed to be an
error packet is mistakenly parsed as an error packet. This error packet
handling is enabled only for the Git pack protocol parsing code
considering this.

object, 2018-03-14) added a cache to avoid calling stat() for a bunch of
loose objects we don't have.
Now that OBJECT_INFO_QUICK handles this caching itself, we can drop the
custom solution.
Note that this might perform slightly differently, as the original code
stopped calling readdir() when we saw more loose objects than there were
refs. So:
1. The old code might have spent work on readdir() to fill the cache,
but then decided there were too many loose objects, wasting that
effort.
2. The new code might spend a lot of time on readdir() if you have a
lot of loose objects, even though there are very few objects to
ask about.
In practice it probably won't matter either way; see the previous commit
for some discussion of the tradeoff.

Each section in a protocol v2 response is followed by either a DELIM
packet (indicating more sections to follow) or a FLUSH packet
(indicating none to follow). But when parsing the "acknowledgments"
section, do_fetch_pack_v2() is liberal in accepting both, but determines
whether to continue reading or not based solely on the contents of the
"acknowledgments" section, not on whether DELIM or FLUSH was read.
There is no issue with a protocol-compliant server, but can result in
confusing error messages when communicating with a server that
serves unexpected additional sections. Consider a server that sends
"new-section" after "acknowledgments":
- client writes request
- client reads the "acknowledgments" section which contains no "ready",
then DELIM
- since there was no "ready", client needs to continue negotiation, and
writes request
- client reads "new-section", and reports to the end user "expected
'acknowledgments', received 'new-section'"
For the person debugging the involved Git implementation(s), the error
message is confusing in that "new-section" was not received in response
to the latest request, but to the first one.
One solution is to always continue reading after DELIM, but in this
case, we can do better. We know from the protocol that "ready" means at
least the packfile section is coming (hence, DELIM) and that no "ready"
means that no sections are to follow (hence, FLUSH). So teach
process_acks() to enforce this.
