470e28d4e1 refs.c: remove_empty_directories can take a strbuf
The first thing we do in this function is copy the input
into a strbuf. Of the 4 callers, 3 of them already have a
strbuf we could use. Let's just take the strbuf, and convert
the remaining caller to use a strbuf, rather than a raw
git_path. This is safer, anyway, as remove_dir_recursively
is a non-trivial function that might use the pathname
buffers itself (this is _probably_ OK, as the likely culprit
would be calling resolve_gitlink_ref, but we do not pass the
proper flags to ask it to avoid blowing away gitlinks).

5f8ef5b848 refs.c: avoid git_path assignment in lock_ref_sha1_basic
Assigning the result of git_path is a bad pattern, because
it's not immediately obvious how long you expect the content
to stay valid (and it may be overwritten by subsequent
calls). Let's use a function-local strbuf here instead,
which we know is safe (we just have to remember to free it
in all code paths).

As a bonus, we get rid of a confusing variable-reuse
("ref_file" is used for two distinct purposes).

d6549f3655 refs.c: avoid repeated git_path calls in rename_tmp_log
Because it's not safe to store the static-buffer results of
git_path for a long time, we end up formatting the same
filename over and over. We can fix this by using a
function-local strbuf to store the formatted pathname and
avoid repeating ourselves.

54b418f698 refs.c: simplify strbufs in reflog setup and writing
Commit 1a83c24 (git_snpath(): retire and replace with
strbuf_git_path(), 2014-11-30) taught log_ref_setup and
log_ref_write_1 to take a strbuf parameter, rather than a
bare string. It then makes an alias to the strbuf's "buf"
field under the original name.

This made the original diff much shorter, but the resulting
code is more complicated that it needs to be. Since we've
aliased the pointer, we drop our reference to the strbuf to
ensure we don't accidentally change it. But if we simply
drop our alias and use "logfile.buf" directly, we do not
have to worry about this aliasing. It's a larger diff, but
the resulting code is simpler.

f5b2dec165 refs.c: remove extra git_path calls from read_loose_refs
In iterating over the loose refs in "refs/foo/", we keep a
running strbuf with "refs/foo/one", "refs/foo/two", etc. But
we also need to access these files in the filesystem, as
".git/refs/foo/one", etc. For this latter purpose, we make a
series of independent calls to git_path(). These are safe
(we only use the result to call stat()), but assigning the
result of git_path is a suspicious pattern that we'd rather
avoid.

This patch keeps a running buffer with ".git/refs/foo/", and
we can just append/reset each directory element as we loop.
This matches how we handle the refnames. It should also be
more efficient, as we do not keep formatting the same
".git/refs/foo" prefix (which can be arbitrarily deep).

Technically we are dropping a call to strbuf_cleanup() on
each generated filename, but that's OK; it wasn't doing
anything, as we are putting in single-level names we read
from the filesystem (so it could not possibly be cleaning up
cruft like "./" in this instance).

A clever reader may also note that the running refname
buffer ("refs/foo/") is actually a subset of the filesystem
path buffer (".git/refs/foo/"). We could get by with one
buffer, indexing the length of $GIT_DIR when we want the
refname. However, having tried this, the resulting code
actually ends up a little more confusing, and the efficiency
improvement is tiny (and almost certainly dwarfed by the
system calls we are making).

e3cf230324 prefer mkpathdup to mkpath in assignments
As with the previous commit to git_path, assigning the
result of mkpath is suspicious, since it is not clear
whether we will still depend on the value after it may have
been overwritten by subsequent calls. This patch converts
low-hanging fruit to use mkpathdup instead of mkpath (with
the downside that we must remember to free the result).

fcd12db6af prefer git_pathdup to git_path in some possibly-dangerous cases
Because git_path uses a static buffer that is shared with
calls to git_path, mkpath, etc, it can be dangerous to
assign the result to a variable or pass it to a non-trivial
function. The value may change unexpectedly due to other
calls.

None of the cases changed here has a known bug, but they're
worth converting away from git_path because:

  1. It's easy to use git_pathdup in these cases.

  2. They use constructs (like assignment) that make it
     hard to tell whether they're safe or not.

The extra malloc overhead should be trivial, as an
allocation should be an order of magnitude cheaper than a
system call (which we are clearly about to make, since we
are constructing a filename). The real cost is that we must
remember to free the result.

2bc31d1631 refs: support negative transfer.hideRefs
If you hide a hierarchy of refs using the transfer.hideRefs
config, there is no way to later override that config to
"unhide" it. This patch implements a "negative" hide which
causes matches to immediately be marked as unhidden, even if
another match would hide it. We take care to apply the
matches in reverse-order from how they are fed to us by the
config machinery, as that lets our usual "last one wins"
config precedence work (and entries in .git/config, for
example, will override /etc/gitconfig).

So you can now do:

  $ git config --system transfer.hideRefs refs/secret
  $ git config transfer.hideRefs '!refs/secret/not-so-secret'

to hide refs/secret in all repos, except for one public bit
in one specific repo. Or you can even do:

  $ git clone \
      -u "git -c transfer.hiderefs="!refs/foo" upload-pack" \
      remote:repo.git

to clone remote:repo.git, overriding any hiding it has
configured.

There are two alternatives that were considered and
rejected:

  1. A generic config mechanism for removing an item from a
     list. E.g.: (e.g., "[transfer] hideRefs -= refs/foo").

     This is nice because it could apply to other
     multi-valued config, as well. But it is not nearly as
     flexible. There is no way to say:

       [transfer]
       hideRefs = refs/secret
       hideRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret

     Having explicit negative specifications means we can
     override previous entries, even if they are not the
     same literal string.

  2. Adding another variable to override some parts of
     hideRefs (e.g., "exposeRefs").

     This solves the problem from alternative (1), but it
     cannot easily obey the normal config precedence,
     because it would use two separate lists. For example:

       [transfer]
       hideRefs = refs/secret
       exposeRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret
       hideRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret/no-really-its-secret

     With two lists, we have to apply the "expose" rules
     first, and only then apply the "hide" rules. But that
     does not match what the above config intends.

     Of course we could internally parse that to a single
     list, respecting the ordering, which saves us having to
     invent the new "!" syntax. But using a single name
     communicates to the user that the ordering _is_
     important. And "!" is well-known for negation, and
     should not appear at the beginning of a ref (it is
     actually valid in a ref-name, but all entries here
     should be fully-qualified, starting with "refs/").

cd377f45c9 refs: loosen restriction on wildcard "*" refspecs
Loosen restrictions on refspecs by allowing patterns that have a "*"
within a component instead of only as the whole component.

Remove the logic to accept a single "*" as a whole component from
check_refname_format(), and implement an extended form of that logic
in check_refname_component().  Pass the pointer to the flags argument
to the latter, as it has to clear REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN bit when
it sees "*".

Teach check_refname_component() function to allow an asterisk "*"
only when REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN is set in the flags, and drop the
bit after seeing a "*", to ensure that one side of a refspec
contains at most one asterisk.

This will allow us to accept refspecs such as `for/bar*:foo/baz*`.
Any refspec which functioned before shall continue functioning with
the new logic.

anything else than the error message.

Also add err arguments to private functions write_ref_to_lockfile,

a5481a6c94 convert "enum date_mode" into a struct
In preparation for adding date modes that may carry extra
information beyond the mode itself, this patch converts the
date_mode enum into a struct.

Most of the conversion is fairly straightforward; we pass
the struct as a pointer and dereference the type field where
necessary. Locations that declare a date_mode can use a "{}"
constructor.  However, the tricky case is where we use the
enum labels as constants, like:

  show_date(t, tz, DATE_NORMAL);

Ideally we could say:

  show_date(t, tz, &{ DATE_NORMAL });

but of course C does not allow that. Likewise, we cannot
cast the constant to a struct, because we need to pass an
actual address. Our options are basically:

  1. Manually add a "struct date_mode d = { DATE_NORMAL }"
     definition to each caller, and pass "&d". This makes
     the callers uglier, because they sometimes do not even
     have their own scope (e.g., they are inside a switch
     statement).

  2. Provide a pre-made global "date_normal" struct that can
     be passed by address. We'd also need "date_rfc2822",
     "date_iso8601", and so forth. But at least the ugliness
     is defined in one place.

  3. Provide a wrapper that generates the correct struct on
     the fly. The big downside is that we end up pointing to
     a single global, which makes our wrapper non-reentrant.
     But show_date is already not reentrant, so it does not
     matter.

This patch implements 3, along with a minor macro to keep
the size of the callers sane.

1c03c4d347 delete_ref(): use the usual convention for old_sha1
The ref_transaction_update() family of functions use the following
convention for their old_sha1 parameters:

* old_sha1 == NULL: Don't check the old value at all.
* is_null_sha1(old_sha1): Ensure that the reference didn't exist
  before the transaction.
* otherwise: Ensure that the reference had the specified value before
  the transaction.

delete_ref() had a different convention, namely treating
is_null_sha1(old_sha1) as "don't care". Change it to adhere to the
standard convention to reduce the scope for confusion.

Please note that it is now a bug to pass old_sha1=NULL_SHA1 to
delete_ref() (because it doesn't make sense to delete a reference that
you already know doesn't exist). This is consistent with the behavior
of ref_transaction_delete().

Most of the callers of delete_ref() never pass old_sha1=NULL_SHA1 to
delete_ref(), and are therefore unaffected by this change. The
two exceptions are:

* The call in cmd_update_ref(), which passed NULL_SHA1 if the old
  value passed in on the command line was 0{40} or the empty string.
  Change that caller to pass NULL in those cases.

  Arguably, it should be an error to call "update-ref -d" with the old
  value set to "does not exist", just as it is for the `--stdin`
  command "delete". But since this usage was accepted until now,
  continue to accept it.

* The call in delete_branches(), which could pass NULL_SHA1 if
  deleting a broken or symbolic ref. Change it to pass NULL in these
  cases.

In initial_ref_transaction_commit(), check for D/F conflicts (i.e.,
the type of conflict that exists between "refs/foo" and
"refs/foo/bar") among the references being created and between the
references being created and any hypothetical existing references.

Ideally, there shouldn't *be* any existing references when this
function is called. But, at least in the case of the "testgit" remote
helper, "clone" can be called after the remote-tracking "HEAD" and
"master" branches have already been created. So let's just do the
full-blown check.

0a4b24ff14 refs: remove some functions from the module's public interface
The following functions are no longer used from outside the refs
module:

* lock_packed_refs()
* add_packed_ref()
* commit_packed_refs()
* rollback_packed_refs()

So make these functions private.

This is an important step, because it means that nobody outside of the
refs module needs to know the difference between loose and packed
references.

58f233ce1e initial_ref_transaction_commit(): function for initial ref creation
"git clone" uses shortcuts when creating the initial set of
references:

* It writes them directly to packed-refs.

* It doesn't lock the individual references (though it does lock the
  packed-refs file).

* It doesn't check for refname conflicts between two new references or
  between one new reference and any hypothetical old ones.

* It doesn't create reflog entries for the reference creations.

This functionality was implemented in builtin/clone.c. But really that
file shouldn't have such intimate knowledge of how references are
stored. So provide a new function in the refs API,
initial_ref_transaction_commit(), which can be used for initial
reference creation. The new function is based on the ref_transaction
interface.

This means that we can make some other functions private to the refs
module. That will be done in a followup commit.

It would seem to make sense to add a test here that there are no
existing references, because that is how the function *should* be
used. But in fact, the "testgit" remote helper appears to call it
*after* having set up refs/remotes/<name>/HEAD and
refs/remotes/<name>/master, so we can't be so strict. For now, the
function trusts its caller to only call it when it makes sense. Future
commits will add some more limited sanity checks.

7fa7dc8904 delete_refs(): bail early if the packed-refs file cannot be rewritten
If we fail to delete the doomed references from the packed-refs file,
then it is unsafe to delete their loose references, because doing so
might expose a value from the packed-refs file that is obsolete and
perhaps even points at an object that has been garbage collected.

So if repack_without_refs() fails, emit a more explicit error message
and bail.

5d97861b9b delete_refs(): make error message more generic
Change the error message from

    Could not remove branch %s

to

    could not remove reference %s

First of all, the old error message referred to "branch
refs/remotes/origin/foo", which was awkward even for the existing
caller. Normally we would refer to a reference like that as either
"remote-tracking branch origin/foo" or "reference
refs/remotes/origin/foo". Here I take the lazier alternative.

Moreover, now that this function is part of the refs API, it might be
called for refs that are neither branches nor remote-tracking
branches.

While we're at it, convert the error message to lower case, as per our
usual convention.

fc67a0825c delete_ref(): handle special case more explicitly
delete_ref() uses a different convention for its old_sha1 parameter
than, say, ref_transaction_delete(): NULL_SHA1 means not to check the
old value. Make this fact a little bit clearer in the code by handling
it in explicit, commented code rather than burying it in a conditional
expression.

58d121b22b Allow to control where the replace refs are looked for
It can be useful to have grafts or replace refs for specific use-cases while
keeping the default "view" of the repository pristine (or with a different
set of grafts/replace refs).

It is possible to use a different graft file with GIT_GRAFT_FILE, but while
replace refs are more powerful, they don't have an equivalent override.

Add a GIT_REPLACE_REF_BASE environment variable to control where git is
going to look for replace refs.

501cf47cdd read_loose_refs(): treat NULL_SHA1 loose references as broken
NULL_SHA1 is used to indicate an "invalid object name" throughout our
code (and the code of other git implementations), so it is vastly more
likely that an on-disk reference was set to this value due to a
software bug than that NULL_SHA1 is the legitimate SHA-1 of an actual
object.  Therefore, if a loose reference has the value NULL_SHA1,
consider it to be broken.
