When "update-ref -d --no-deref SYM" tried to delete a symbolic ref
SYM, it incorrectly locked the underlying reference pointed by SYM,

refs: lock symref that is to be deleted, not its target
When deleting a ref through a symref (e.g. using 'git update-ref -d HEAD'
to delete refs/heads/master), we would remove the loose ref, but a packed
version of the same ref would remain, the end result being that instead of
deleting refs/heads/master we would appear to reset it to its state as of
the last repack.
This patch fixes the issue, by making sure we pass the correct ref name
when invoking repack_without_ref() from within delete_ref().

When delete_ref is called on a symref then it locks its target and then
either deletes the target or the symref, depending on whether the flag
REF_NODEREF was set in the parameter delopt.
Instead, simply pass the flag to lock_ref_sha1_basic, which will then
either lock the target or the symref, and delete the locked ref.

The point of peel_ref is to dereference tags; if the base
object is not a tag, then we can return early without even
loading the object into memory.
This patch accomplishes that by checking sha1_object_info
for the type. For a packed object, we can get away with just
looking in the pack index. For a loose object, we only need
to inflate the first couple of header bytes.
This is a bit of a gamble; if we do find a tag object, then
we will end up loading the content anyway, and the extra
lookup will have been wasteful. However, if it is not a tag
object, then we save loading the object entirely. Depending
on the ratio of non-tags to tags in the input, this can be a
minor win or minor loss.
However, it does give us one potential major win: if a ref
points to a large blob (e.g., via an unannotated tag), then
we can avoid looking at it entirely.

The idea of the peel_ref function is to dereference tag
objects recursively until we hit a non-tag, and return the
sha1. Conceptually, it should return 0 if it is successful
(and fill in the sha1), or -1 if there was nothing to peel.
However, the current behavior is much more confusing. For a
regular loose ref, the behavior is as described above. But
there is an optimization to reuse the peeled-ref value for a
ref that came from a packed-refs file. If we have such a
ref, we return its peeled value, even if that peeled value
is null (indicating that we know the ref definitely does
_not_ peel).
It might seem like such information is useful to the caller,
who would then know not to bother loading and trying to peel
the object. Except that they should not bother loading and
trying to peel the object _anyway_, because that fallback is
already handled by peel_ref. In other words, the whole point
of calling this function is that it handles those details
internally, and you either get a sha1, or you know that it
is not peel-able.
This patch catches the null sha1 case internally and
converts it into a -1 return value (i.e., there is nothing
to peel). This simplifies callers, which do not need to
bother checking themselves.
Two callers are worth noting:
- in pack-objects, a comment indicates that there is a
difference between non-peelable tags and unannotated
tags. But that is not the case (before or after this
patch). Whether you get a null sha1 has to do with
internal details of how peel_ref operated.
- in show-ref, if peel_ref returns a failure, the caller
tries to decide whether to try peeling manually based on
whether the REF_ISPACKED flag is set. But this doesn't
make any sense. If the flag is set, that does not
necessarily mean the ref came from a packed-refs file
with the "peeled" extension. But it doesn't matter,
because even if it didn't, there's no point in trying to
peel it ourselves, as peel_ref would already have done
so. In other words, the fallback peeling is guaranteed
to fail.

When we are asked to peel a ref to a sha1, we internally call
deref_tag, which will recursively parse each tagged object
until we reach a non-tag. This has the benefit that we will
verify our ability to load and parse the pointed-to object.
However, there is a performance downside: we may not need to
load that object at all (e.g., if we are listing peeled
simply listing peeled refs), or it may be a large object
that should follow a streaming code path (e.g., an annotated
tag of a large blob).
It makes more sense for peel_ref to choose the fast thing
rather than performing the extra check, for two reasons:
1. We will already sometimes short-circuit the tag parsing
in favor of a peeled entry from a packed-refs file. So
we are already favoring speed in some cases, and it is
not wise for a caller to rely on peel_ref to detect
corruption.
2. We already silently ignore much larger corruptions,
like a ref that points to a non-existent object, or a
tag object that exists but is corrupted.
2. peel_ref is not the right place to check for such a
database corruption. It is returning only the sha1
anyway, not the actual object. Any callers which use
that sha1 to load an object will soon discover the
corruption anyway, so we are really just pushing back
the discovery to later in the program.

By Michael Haggerty
* mh/ref-api-lazy-loose:
free_ref_entry(): do not trigger reading of loose refs
The old code allowed many references to be efficiently added to a
single directory, because it just appended the references to the
containing directory unsorted without doing any searching (and
therefore without requiring any intermediate sorting). But the old
code was inefficient when a large number of subdirectories were added
to a directory, because the directory always had to be searched to see
if the new subdirectory already existed, and this search required the
directory to be sorted first. The same was repeated for every new
subdirectory, so the time scaled like O(N^2), where N is the number of
subdirectories within a single directory.
In practice, references are often added to the ref_cache in
lexicographic order, for example when reading the packed-refs file.
So build some intelligence into add_entry_to_dir() to optimize for the
case of references and/or subdirectories being added in lexicographic
order: if the existing entries were already sorted, and the new entry
comes after the last existing entry, then adjust ref_dir::sorted to
reflect the fact that the ref_dir is still sorted.
Thanks to Peff for pointing out the performance regression that
inspired this change.

The search_ref_dir() function is about looking up an existing ref_entry in
a sorted array of ref_entry stored in dir->entries, but it still allocates
a new ref_entry and frees it before returning. This is only because the
call to bsearch(3) was coded in a suboptimal way. Unlike the comparison
function given to qsort(3), the first parameter to its comparison function
does not need to point at an object that is shaped like an element in the
array.
Introduce a new comparison function that takes a counted string as the key
and an element in an array of ref_entry and give it to bsearch(), so that
we do not have to allocate a new ref_entry that we will never return to
the caller anyway.

Store references hierarchically in a tree that matches the
pseudo-directory structure of the reference names. Add a new kind of
ref_entry (with flag REF_DIR) to represent a whole subdirectory of
references. Sort ref_dirs one subdirectory at a time.
NOTE: the dirs can now be sorted as a side-effect of other function
calls. Therefore, it would be problematic to do something from a
each_ref_fn callback that could provoke the sorting of a directory
that is currently being iterated over (i.e., the directory containing
the entry that is being processed or any of its parents).
This is a bit far-fetched, because a directory is always sorted just
before being iterated over. Therefore, read-only accesses cannot
trigger the sorting of a directory whose iteration has already
started. But if a callback function would add a reference to a parent
directory of the reference in the iteration, then try to resolve a
reference under that directory, a re-sort could be triggered and cause
the iteration to work incorrectly.
Nevertheless...add a comment in refs.h warning against modifications
during iteration.

* In sort_ref_array(), sort *only* the unsorted entries, then merge
them with the sorted entries. This should be faster if most of the
entries are already sorted.
* Teach search_ref_array() to do a binary search of any sorted
entries, and if unsuccessful do a linear search of any unsorted
entries. This would avoid the need to sort the list every time that
search_ref_array() is called, and (given some intelligence about how
often to sort) could significantly improve the speed in certain

so the fetch rules table did not include "refs/remotes/%.*s/HEAD".
When the user really wants to, "git fetch $there remotes/frotz/HEAD" would
let her do so anyway, so this is not about safety or security; it merely
is about confusion avoidance and discouraging meaningless usage.
Specifically, it is _not_ about ambiguity avoidance. A name that would

629cd3a (resolve_ref(): emit warnings for improperly-formatted references,
2011-09-15) made resolve_ref() warn against files that are found in the

messages come from a wrong level of the API hierarchy.
Instead record the breakage in "flags" whose purpose is to explain the
result of the function to the caller, who is in a much better position to
make intelligent decision based on the information.
This updates sha1_name.c::dwim_ref() to warn against such a broken
candidate only when it does not appear directly below $GIT_DIR to restore
the traditional behaviour, as we know many files directly underneath
$GIT_DIR/ are not refs.
Warning against "git show config --" with "$GIT_DIR/config does not look
like a well-formed ref" does not make sense, and we may later tweak the
dwimmery not to even consider them as candidates, but that is a longer

Previously most bad characters were indicated by returning 1, but "*"

But it is easier (to document and understand) for bad_ref_char()
simply to return a boolean value, treating "*" like any other bad

get_ref_dir is called recursively for subdirectories, which means that

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

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

influenced the design of the entire series and this commit in
particular.

Since local branch, tags and remote tracking branch namespaces are
most often used, add shortcut notations for globbing those in
manner similar to --glob option.
With this, one can express the "what I have but origin doesn't?"
as:
'git log --branches --not --remotes=origin'

Add --glob=<glob-pattern> option to rev-parse and everything that
accepts its options. This option matches all refs that match given
shell glob pattern (complete with some DWIM logic).
Example:
'git log --branches --not --glob=remotes/origin'
To show what you have that origin doesn't.

Different callers of warn_dangling_symref() may want to control whether its
output goes to stdout or stderr so let it take a FILE argument.
