222368c645 receive-pack.c: move transaction handling in a central place
This moves all code related to transactions into the
execute_commands_non_atomic function. This includes
beginning and committing the transaction as well as
dealing with the errors which may occur during the
begin and commit phase of a transaction.

No functional changes intended.

b6a4788586 receive-pack.c: die instead of error in case of possible future bug
Discussion on the previous patch revealed we rather want to err on the
safe side. To do so we need to stop receive-pack in case of the possible
future bug when connectivity is not checked on a shallow push.

Also while touching that code we considered that removing the reported
refs may be harmful in some situations. Sound the message more like a
"This Cannot Happen, Please Investigate!" instead of giving advice to
remove refs.

a6a8431968 receive-pack.c: shorten the execute_commands loop over all commands
Make the main "execute_commands" loop in receive-pack easier to read
by splitting out some steps into helper functions. The new helper
'should_process_cmd' checks if a ref update is unnecessary, whether
due to an error having occurred or for another reason. The helper
'warn_if_skipped_connectivity_check' warns if we have forgotten to
run a connectivity check on a ref which is shallow for the client
which would be a bug.

This will help us to duplicate less code in a later patch when we make
a second copy of the "execute_commands" loop.

No functional change intended.

b729effbdb expire_reflog(): treat the policy callback data as opaque
Now that expire_reflog() doesn't actually look in the
expire_reflog_policy_cb data structure, we can make it opaque:

* Change the callers of expire_reflog() to pass it a pointer to an
  entire "struct expire_reflog_policy_cb" rather than a pointer to a
  "struct cmd_reflog_expire_cb".

* Change expire_reflog() to accept the argument as a "void *" and
  simply pass it through to the policy functions.

* Change the policy functions, reflog_expiry_prepare(),
  reflog_expiry_cleanup(), and should_expire_reflog_ent(), to accept
  "void *cb_data" arguments and cast them back to "struct
  expire_reflog_policy_cb" internally.

f3b661f766 expire_reflog(): use a lock_file for rewriting the reflog file
We don't actually need the locking functionality, because we already
hold the lock on the reference itself, which is how the reflog file is
locked. But the lock_file code can do some of the bookkeeping for us,
and it is more careful than the old code here was. For example:

* It correctly handles the case that the reflog lock file already
  exists for some reason or cannot be opened.

* It correctly cleans up the lockfile if the program dies.

it was passed to for_each_reflog(). Since then, there has been no

* Remove the "unused" parameter (which took the place of "flags", but
  was really unused).

72549dfd5d fetch: load all default config at startup
When we start the git-fetch program, we call git_config to
load all config, but our callback only processes the
fetch.prune option; we do not chain to git_default_config at
all.

This means that we may not load some core configuration
which will have an effect. For instance, we do not load
core.logAllRefUpdates, which impacts whether or not we
create reflogs in a bare repository.

Note that I said "may" above. It gets even more exciting. If
we have to transfer actual objects as part of the fetch,
then we call fetch_pack as part of the same process. That
function loads its own config, which does chain to
git_default_config, impacting global variables which are
used by the rest of fetch. But if the fetch is a pure ref
update (e.g., a new ref which is a copy of an old one), we
skip fetch_pack entirely. So we get inconsistent results
depending on whether or not we have actual objects to
transfer or not!

Let's just load the core config at the start of fetch, so we
know we have it (we may also load it again as part of
fetch_pack, but that's OK; it's designed to be idempotent).

Our tests check both cases (with and without a pack). We
also check similar behavior for push for good measure, but
it already works as expected.

0f4b6db3ba Handle atexit list internaly for unthreaded builds
Wrap atexit()s calls on unthreaded builds to handle callback list
internally.

This is needed because on unthreaded builds, asyncs inherits parent's
atexit() list, that gets run as soon as the async exit()s (and again at
the end of async's parent process). That led to remove temporary files
too early.

Also remove a by-atexit-callback guard against this kind of issue in
clone.c, as this patch makes it redundant.

Fixes test 5537 (temporary shallow file vanished before unpack-objects
could open it)

BTW remove an unused variable in shallow.c.

2113471478 pack-objects: turn off bitmaps when we split packs
If a pack.packSizeLimit is set, we may split the pack data
across multiple packfiles. This means we cannot generate
.bitmap files, as they require that all of the reachable
objects are in the same pack. We check that condition when
we are generating the list of objects to pack (and disable
bitmaps if we are not packing everything), but we forgot to
update it when we notice that we needed to split (which
doesn't happen until the actual write phase).

The resulting bitmaps are quite bogus (they mention entries
that do not exist in the pack!) and can cause a fetch or
push to send insufficient objects.

b1e757f363 pack-objects: double-check options before discarding objects
When we are given an expiration time like
--unpack-unreachable=2.weeks.ago, we avoid writing out old,
unreachable loose objects entirely, under the assumption
that running "prune" would simply delete them immediately
anyway. However, this is only valid if we computed the same
set of reachable objects as prune would.

In practice, this is the case, because only git-repack uses
the --unpack-unreachable option with an expiration, and it
always feeds as many objects into the pack as possible. But
we can double-check at runtime just to be sure.

c90f9e13ab repack: pack objects mentioned by the index
When we pack all objects, we use only the objects reachable
from references and reflogs. This misses any objects which
are reachable from the index, but not yet referenced.

By itself this isn't a big deal; the objects can remain
loose until they are actually used in a commit. However, it
does create a problem when we drop packed but unreachable
objects. We try to optimize out the writing of objects that
we will immediately prune, which means we must follow the
same rules as prune in determining what is reachable. And
prune uses the index for this purpose.

This is rather uncommon in practice, as objects in the index
would not usually have been packed in the first place. But
it could happen in a sequence like:

  1. You make a commit on a branch that references blob X.

  2. You repack, moving X into the pack.

  3. You delete the branch (and its reflog), so that X is
     unreferenced.

  4. You "git add" blob X so that it is now referenced only
     by the index.

  5. You repack again with git-gc. The pack-objects we
     invoke will see that X is neither referenced nor
     recent and not bother loosening it.

9e0c3c4fcd make add_object_array_with_context interface more sane
When you resolve a sha1, you can optionally keep any context
found during the resolution, including the path and mode of
a tree entry (e.g., when looking up "HEAD:subdir/file.c").

The add_object_array_with_context function lets you then
attach that context to an entry in a list. Unfortunately,
the interface for doing so is horrible. The object_context
structure is large and most object_array users do not use
it. Therefore we keep a pointer to the structure to avoid
burdening other users too much. But that means when we do
use it that we must allocate the struct ourselves. And the
struct contains a fixed PATH_MAX-sized buffer, which makes
this wholly unsuitable for any large arrays.

We can observe that there is only a single user of the
"with_context" variant: builtin/grep.c. And in that use
case, the only element we care about is the path. We can
therefore store only the path as a pointer (the context's
mode field was redundant with the object_array_entry itself,
and nobody actually cared about the surrounding tree). This
still requires a strdup of the pathname, but at least we are
only consuming the minimum amount of memory for each string.

We can also handle the copying ourselves in
add_object_array_*, and free it as appropriate in
object_array_release_entry.

abcb86553d pack-objects: match prune logic for discarding objects
A recent commit taught git-prune to keep non-recent objects
that are reachable from recent ones. However, pack-objects,
when loosening unreachable objects, tries to optimize out
the write in the case that the object will be immediately
pruned. It now gets this wrong, since its rule does not
reflect the new prune code (and this can be seen by running
t6501 with a strategically placed repack).

Let's teach pack-objects similar logic.

d0d46abc16 pack-objects: refactor unpack-unreachable expiration check
When we are loosening unreachable packed objects, we do not
bother to process objects that would simply be pruned
immediately anyway. The "would be pruned" check is a simple
comparison, but is about to get more complicated. Let's pull
it out into a separate function.

Note that this is slightly less efficient than the original,
which avoided even opening old packs, since no object in
them could pass the current check, which cares only about
the pack mtime.  But the new rules will depend on the exact
object, so we need to perform the check even for old packs.

Note also that we fix a minor buglet when the pack mtime is
exactly the same as the expiration time. The prune code
considers that worth pruning, whereas our check here
considered it worth keeping. This wasn't a big deal. Besides
being unlikely to happen, the result was simply that the
object was loosened and then pruned, missing the
optimization. Still, we can easily fix it while we are here.

d3038d22f9 prune: keep objects reachable from recent objects
Our current strategy with prune is that an object falls into
one of three categories:

  1. Reachable (from ref tips, reflogs, index, etc).

  2. Not reachable, but recent (based on the --expire time).

  3. Not reachable and not recent.

We keep objects from (1) and (2), but prune objects in (3).
The point of (2) is that these objects may be part of an
in-progress operation that has not yet updated any refs.

However, it is not always the case that objects for an
in-progress operation will have a recent mtime. For example,
the object database may have an old copy of a blob (from an
abandoned operation, a branch that was deleted, etc). If we
create a new tree that points to it, a simultaneous prune
will leave our tree, but delete the blob. Referencing that
tree with a commit will then work (we check that the tree is
in the object database, but not that all of its referred
objects are), as will mentioning the commit in a ref. But
the resulting repo is corrupt; we are missing the blob
reachable from a ref.

One way to solve this is to be more thorough when
referencing a sha1: make sure that not only do we have that
sha1, but that we have objects it refers to, and so forth
recursively. The problem is that this is very expensive.
Creating a parent link would require traversing the entire
object graph!

Instead, this patch pushes the extra work onto prune, which
runs less frequently (and has to look at the whole object
graph anyway). It creates a new category of objects: objects
which are not recent, but which are reachable from a recent
object. We do not prune these objects, just like the
reachable and recent ones.

This lets us avoid the recursive check above, because if we
have an object, even if it is unreachable, we should have
its referent. We can make a simple inductive argument that
with this patch, this property holds (that there are no
objects with missing referents in the repository):

  0. When we have no objects, we have nothing to refer or be
     referred to, so the property holds.

  1. If we add objects to the repository, their direct
     referents must generally exist (e.g., if you create a
     tree, the blobs it references must exist; if you create
     a commit to point at the tree, the tree must exist).
     This is already the case before this patch. And it is
     not 100% foolproof (you can make bogus objects using
     `git hash-object`, for example), but it should be the
     case for normal usage.

     Therefore for any sequence of object additions, the
     property will continue to hold.

  2. If we remove objects from the repository, then we will
     not remove a child object (like a blob) if an object
     that refers to it is being kept. That is the part
     implemented by this patch.

     Note, however, that our reachability check and the
     actual pruning are not atomic. So it _is_ still
     possible to violate the property (e.g., an object
     becomes referenced just as we are deleting it). This
     patch is shooting for eliminating problems where the
     mtimes of dependent objects differ by hours or days,
     and one is dropped without the other. It does nothing
     to help with short races.

Naively, the simplest way to implement this would be to add
all recent objects as tips to the reachability traversal.
However, this does not perform well. In a recently-packed
repository, all reachable objects will also be recent, and
therefore we have to look at each object twice. This patch
instead performs the reachability traversal, then follows up
with a second traversal for recent objects, skipping any
that have already been marked.

cac05d4dfd count-objects: do not use xsize_t when counting object size
The point of xsize_t is to safely cast an off_t into a size_t
(because we are about to mmap). But in count-objects, we are
summing the sizes in an off_t. Using xsize_t means that
count-objects could fail on a 32-bit system with a 4G
object (not likely, as other parts of git would fail, but
we should at least be correct here).

27e1e22d5e prune: factor out loose-object directory traversal
Prune has to walk $GIT_DIR/objects/?? in order to find the
set of loose objects to prune. Other parts of the code
(e.g., count-objects) want to do the same. Let's factor it
out into a reusable for_each-style function.

Note that this is not quite a straight code movement. The
original code had strange behavior when it found a file of
the form "[0-9a-f]{2}/.{38}" that did _not_ contain all hex
digits. It executed a "break" from the loop, meaning that we
stopped pruning in that directory (but still pruned other
directories!). This was probably a bug; we do not want to
process the file as an object, but we should keep going
otherwise (and that is how the new code handles it).

We are also a little more careful with loose object
directories which fail to open. The original code silently
ignored any failures, but the new code will complain about
any problems besides ENOENT.
