61e704e38a sha1_name: avoid unnecessary sha1 lookup in find_unique_abbrev
An example where this happens is when doing an ls-tree on a tree that
contains a commit link. In that case, find_unique_abbrev is called
to get a non-abbreviated hex sha1, but still, a lookup is done as
to whether the sha1 is in the repository (which ends up looking for
a loose object in .git/objects), while the result of that lookup is
not used when returning a non-abbreviated hex sha1.

2ce406ccb8 get_merge_bases(): always clean-up object flags
The callers of get_merge_bases() can choose to leave object flags
used during the merge-base traversal by passing cleanup=0 as a
parameter, but in practice a very few callers can afford to do so
(namely, "git merge-base"), as they need to compute merge base in
preparation for other processing of their own and they need to see
the object without contaminate flags.

Change the function signature of get_merge_bases_many() and
get_merge_bases() to drop the cleanup parameter, so that the
majority of the callers do not have to say ", 1" at the end.

Give a new get_merge_bases_many_dirty() API to support only a few
callers that know they do not need to spend cycles cleaning up the
object flags.

c41a87dd80 refs: make rev-parse --quiet actually quiet
When a reflog is deleted, e.g. when "git stash" clears its stashes,
"git rev-parse --verify --quiet" dies:

	fatal: Log for refs/stash is empty.

The reason is that the get_sha1() code path does not allow us
to suppress this message.

Pass the flags bitfield through get_sha1_with_context() so that
read_ref_at() can suppress the message.

Use get_sha1_with_context1() instead of get_sha1() in rev-parse
so that the --quiet flag is honored.

A call to "dwim_ref(name, len, flags, &ref)" will allocate a
new string in "ref" to return the exact ref we found. We do
not consistently free it in all code paths, leading to small

relatively unlikely, as it only triggers on a bogus reflog

95b567c7c3 use skip_prefix to avoid repeating strings
It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it
with strlen, like:

  if (starts_with(foo, "bar"))
	  foo += strlen("bar");

This avoids magic numbers, but means we have to repeat the
string (and there is no compiler check that we didn't make a
typo in one of the strings).

We can use skip_prefix to handle this case without repeating
ourselves.

8597ea3afe commit: record buffer length in cache
Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the
cached version attached to the commit, rather than
re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides
only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no
indication of the original length.

For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put
NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to
treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code
paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we
want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to
avoid malicious trickery.

This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to
get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass
NULL (there did not seem to be any obvious sites where we
could avoid an immediate strlen() call, though perhaps with
some further refactoring we could).

ba41c1c93f use get_commit_buffer to avoid duplicate code
For both of these sites, we already do the "fallback to
read_sha1_file" trick. But we can shorten the code by just
using get_commit_buffer.

Note that the error cases are slightly different when
read_sha1_file fails. get_commit_buffer will die() if the
object cannot be loaded, or is a non-commit.

For get_sha1_oneline, this will almost certainly never
happen, as we will have just called parse_object (and if it
does, it's probably worth complaining about).

For record_author_date, the new behavior is probably better;
we notify the user of the error instead of silently ignoring
it. And because it's used only for sorting by author-date,
somebody examining a corrupt repo can fallback to the
regular traversal order.

9892d5d454 interpret_branch_name: find all possible @-marks
When we parse a string like "foo@{upstream}", we look for
the first "@"-sign, and check to see if it is an upstream
mark. However, since branch names can contain an @, we may
also see "@foo@{upstream}". In this case, we check only the
first @, and ignore the second. As a result, we do not find
the upstream.

We can solve this by iterating through all @-marks in the
string, and seeing if any is a legitimate upstream or
empty-at mark.

Another strategy would be to parse from the right-hand side
of the string. However, that does not work for the
"empty_at" case, which allows "@@{upstream}". We need to
find the left-most one in this case (and we then recurse as
"HEAD@{upstream}").

3f6eb30f1d interpret_branch_name: avoid @{upstream} past colon
get_sha1() cannot currently parse a valid object name like
"HEAD:@{upstream}" (assuming that such an oddly named file
exists in the HEAD commit). It takes two passes to parse the
string:

  1. It first considers the whole thing as a ref, which
     results in looking for the upstream of "HEAD:".

  2. It finds the colon, parses "HEAD" as a tree-ish, and then
     finds the path "@{upstream}" in the tree.

For a path that looks like a normal reflog (e.g.,
"HEAD:@{yesterday}"), the first pass is a no-op. We try to
dwim_ref("HEAD:"), that returns zero refs, and we proceed
with colon-parsing.

For "HEAD:@{upstream}", though, the first pass ends up in
interpret_upstream_mark, which tries to find the branch
"HEAD:". When it sees that the branch does not exist, it
actually dies rather than returning an error to the caller.
As a result, we never make it to the second pass.

One obvious way of fixing this would be to teach
interpret_upstream_mark to simply report "no, this isn't an
upstream" in such a case. However, that would make the
error-reporting for legitimate upstream cases significantly
worse. Something like "bogus@{upstream}" would simply report
"unknown revision: bogus@{upstream}", while the current code
diagnoses a wide variety of possible misconfigurations (no
such branch, branch exists but does not have upstream, etc).

However, we can take advantage of the fact that a branch
name cannot contain a colon. Therefore even if we find an
upstream mark, any prefix with a colon must mean that
the upstream mark we found is actually a pathname, and
should be disregarded completely. This patch implements that
logic.

8cd4249c4c interpret_branch_name: always respect "namelen" parameter
interpret_branch_name gets passed a "name" buffer to parse,
along with a "namelen" parameter representing its length. If
"namelen" is zero, we fallback to the NUL-terminated
string-length of "name".

However, it does not necessarily follow that if we have
gotten a non-zero "namelen", it is the NUL-terminated
string-length of "name". E.g., when get_sha1() is parsing
"foo:bar", we will be asked to operate only on the first
three characters.

Yet in interpret_branch_name and its helpers, we use string
functions like strchr() to operate on "name", looking past
the length we were given.  This can result in us mis-parsing
object names.  We should instead be limiting our search to
"namelen" bytes.

There are three distinct types of object names this patch
addresses:

  - The intrepret_empty_at helper uses strchr to find the
    next @-expression after our potential empty-at.  In an
    expression like "@:foo@bar", it erroneously thinks that
    the second "@" is relevant, even if we were asked only
    to look at the first character. This case is easy to
    trigger (and we test it in this patch).

  - When finding the initial @-mark for @{upstream}, we use
    strchr.  This means we might treat "foo:@{upstream}" as
    the upstream for "foo:", even though we were asked only
    to look at "foo". We cannot test this one in practice,
    because it is masked by another bug (which is fixed in
    the next patch).

  - The interpret_nth_prior_checkout helper did not receive
    the name length at all. This turns out not to be a
    problem in practice, though, because its parsing is so
    limited: it always starts from the far-left of the
    string, and will not tolerate a colon (which is
    currently the only way to get a smaller-than-strlen
    "namelen"). However, it's still worth fixing to make the
    code more obviously correct, and to future-proof us
    against callers with more exotic buffers.

This function checks a few different @{}-constructs. The
early part checks for and dispatches us to helpers for each
construct, but the code for handling @{upstream} is inline.

Let's factor this out into its own function. This makes
interpret_branch_name more readable, and will make it much
simpler to further refactor the function in future patches.

While we're at it, let's also break apart the refactored
code into a few helper functions. These will be useful if we
eventually implement similar @{upstream}-like constructs.

Omitting this unnecessary ref resolution provides a substantial

set to false.  The check incurs 6 stat()s for every hash supplied,

9ba89f484e Add new @ shortcut for HEAD
Typing 'HEAD' is tedious, especially when we can use '@' instead.

The reason for choosing '@' is that it follows naturally from the
ref@op syntax (e.g. HEAD@{u}), except we have no ref, and no
operation, and when we don't have those, it makes sens to assume
'HEAD'.

So now we can use 'git show @~1', and all that goody goodness.

Until now '@' was a valid name, but it conflicts with this idea, so
let's make it invalid. Probably very few people, if any, used this name.

c969b6a18d peel_onion: do not assume length of x_type globals
When we are parsing "rev^{foo}", we check "foo" against the
various global type strings, like "commit_type",
"tree_type", etc. This is nicely abstracted, but then we
destroy the abstraction completely by using magic numbers
that must match the length of the type strings.

We could avoid these magic numbers by using skip_prefix. But
taking a step back, we can realize that using the
"commit_type" global is not really buying us anything. It is
not ever going to change from being "commit" without causing
severe breakage to existing uses. And even if it did change
for some crazy reason, we would want to evaluate its effects
on the "rev^{}" syntax, anyway.

Let's just switch these to using a custom string literal, as
we do for "rev^{object}". The resulting code is more robust
to changes in the type strings, and is more readable.

75aa26d34c peel_onion(): add support for <rev>^{tag}
Complete the <rev>^{<type>} family of object descriptors by having
<rev>^{tag} dereference <rev> until a tag object is found (or fail if
unable).

At first glance this may not seem very useful, as commits, trees, and
blobs cannot be peeled to a tag, and a tag would just peel to itself.
However, this can be used to ensure that <rev> names a tag object:

    $ git rev-parse --verify v1.8.4^{tag}
    04f013dc38d7512eadb915eba22efc414f18b869
    $ git rev-parse --verify master^{tag}
    error: master^{tag}: expected tag type, but the object dereferences to tree type
    fatal: Needed a single revision

Users can already ensure that <rev> is a tag object by checking the
output of 'git cat-file -t <rev>', but:
  * users may expect <rev>^{tag} to exist given that <rev>^{commit},
    <rev>^{tree}, and <rev>^{blob} all exist
  * this syntax is more convenient/natural in some circumstances

cf99a761d3 sha1-name: pass len argument to interpret_branch_name()
This is useful to make sure we don't step outside the boundaries of what
we are interpreting at the moment. For example while interpreting
foobar@{u}~1, the job of interpret_branch_name() ends right before ~1,
but there's no way to figure that out inside the function, unless the
len argument is passed.

So let's do that.

2c2b6646c2 Revert "Add new @ shortcut for HEAD"
This reverts commit cdfd94837b, as it
does not just apply to "@" (and forms with modifiers like @{u}
applied to it), but also affects e.g. "refs/heads/@/foo", which it
shouldn't.

The basic idea of giving a short-hand might be good, and the topic
can be retried later, but let's revert to avoid affecting existing
use cases for now for the upcoming release.

25fba78d36 cat-file: disable object/refname ambiguity check for batch mode
A common use of "cat-file --batch-check" is to feed a list
of objects from "rev-list --objects" or a similar command.
In this instance, all of our input objects are 40-byte sha1
ids. However, cat-file has always allowed arbitrary revision
specifiers, and feeds the result to get_sha1().

Fortunately, get_sha1() recognizes a 40-byte sha1 before
doing any hard work trying to look up refs, meaning this
scenario should end up spending very little time converting
the input into an object sha1. However, since 798c35f
(get_sha1: warn about full or short object names that look
like refs, 2013-05-29), when we encounter this case, we
spend the extra effort to do a refname lookup anyway, just
to print a warning. This is further exacerbated by ca91993
(get_packed_ref_cache: reload packed-refs file when it
changes, 2013-06-20), which makes individual ref lookup more
expensive by requiring a stat() of the packed-refs file for
each missing ref.

With no patches, this is the time it takes to run:

  $ git rev-list --objects --all >objects
  $ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname)' <objects

on the linux.git repository:

  real    1m13.494s
  user    0m25.924s
  sys     0m47.532s

If we revert ca91993, the packed-refs up-to-date check, it
gets a little better:

  real    0m54.697s
  user    0m21.692s
  sys     0m32.916s

but we are still spending quite a bit of time on ref lookup
(and we would not want to revert that patch, anyway, which
has correctness issues).  If we revert 798c35f, disabling
the warning entirely, we get a much more reasonable time:

  real    0m7.452s
  user    0m6.836s
  sys     0m0.608s

This patch does the moral equivalent of this final case (and
gets similar speedups). We introduce a global flag that
callers of get_sha1() can use to avoid paying the price for
the warning.
