With roughly 800 remotes all fetching into their own
refs/remotes/$REMOTE/* island, the connectivity check[1] gets
expensive for each fetch on systems which lack sufficient RAM to
cache objects.
To do a no-op fetch on one $REMOTE out of hundreds, hideRefs now
allows the no-op fetch to take ~30 seconds instead of ~20 minutes
on a noisy, RAM-constrained machine (localhost, so no network latency):
git -c fetch.hideRefs=refs \
-c fetch.hideRefs='!refs/remotes/$REMOTE/' \
fetch $REMOTE
[1] `git rev-list --objects --stdin --not --all --quiet --alternate-refs'

In a remote with multiple configured URLs, `git remote -v` shows the
correct url that fetch uses. However, `git config remote.<remote>.url`
returns the last defined url instead. This discrepancy can cause
confusion for users with a remote defined as such, since any url
defined after the first essentially acts as a pushurl.
Add documentation to clarify how fetch interacts with multiple urls
and how push interacts with multiple pushurls and urls.

Tests that only need to interact with submodules in a limited capacity
have individual Git commands annotated with the appropriate
configuration via `-c`. Tests that interact with submodules a handful of

The many test_configured_prune tests in t5510-fetch.sh test many
combinations of --prune, --prune-tags, and using 'origin' or an explicit
URL. Some machinery was introduced in e1790f9245 (fetch tests: fetch
<url> <spec> as well as fetch [<remote>], 2018-02-09) to replace
'origin' with this explicit URL. This URL is a "file:///" URL for the
root of the $TRASH_DIRECTORY.
However, if the current build tree has an '@' symbol, the
replacement using perl fails. It drops the '@' as well as anything
else in that directory name. You can observe this locally by
cloning git.git into a "victim@03" directory and running the test
script.
As we are writing in Perl anyway, pass in the shell variables involved
to the script as arguments and perform necessary string transformations
inside it, instead of assuming that it is sufficient to enclose the
$remote_url variable inside a pair of single quotes.

This reverts commit 2a0cafd464,
as it expects a working "a ref deletion must produce a single
transaction, not one for loose and another for packed" topic,
which we do not have.
Add a "test_hook" wrapper similar to the existing "test_config"
wrapper added in d960c47a88 (test-lib: add helper functions for
config, 2011-08-17).
This wrapper:
- Will clean up the hook with "test_when_finished", unless --setup is
provided.
- Will error if we clobber a hook, unless --clobber is provided.
- Takes a name like "update" instead of ".git/hooks/update".
- Accepts -C <dir>, like "test_config" and "test_commit".
By using a wrapper we'll be able to easily change all the hook-related
code that assumes that the template-created ".git/hooks" directory is
created by "init", "clone" etc. once another topic follows-up and
changes the test suite to stop creating trash directories using those
templates.
In addition this will make it easy to have the hooks configured using
the "configuration-based hooks" topic, once we get around to
integrating that. I.e. we'll be able to run the tests in a mode where
we sometimes create a .git/hooks/<name>, and other times create a
script in another location, and point the relevant configuration
snippet to it.

When fetching with the `--prune` flag we will delete any local
references matching the fetch refspec which have disappeared on the
remote. This step is not currently covered by the `--atomic` flag: we
delete branches even though updating of local references has failed,
which means that the fetch is not an all-or-nothing operation.
Fix this bug by passing in the global transaction into `prune_refs()`:
if one is given, then we'll only queue up deletions and not commit them
right away.
This change also improves performance when pruning many branches in a
repository with a big packed-refs file: every references is pruned in
its own transaction, which means that we potentially have to rewrite
the packed-refs files for every single reference we're about to prune.
The following benchmark demonstrates this: it performs a pruning fetch
from a repository with a single reference into a repository with 100k
references, which causes us to prune all but one reference. This is of
course a very artificial setup, but serves to demonstrate the impact of
only having to write the packed-refs file once:
Benchmark 1: git fetch --prune --atomic +refs/*:refs/* (HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 2.366 s ± 0.021 s [User: 0.858 s, System: 1.508 s]
Range (min … max): 2.328 s … 2.407 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: git fetch --prune --atomic +refs/*:refs/* (HEAD)

When using git-fetch(1) with the `--atomic` flag the expectation is that
either all of the references are updated, or alternatively none are in
case the fetch fails. While we already have tests for this, we do not
have any tests which exercise atomicity either when pruning deleted refs
or when backfilling tags. This gap in test coverage hides that we indeed
don't handle atomicity correctly for both of these cases.
Add test cases which cover these testing gaps to demonstrate the broken
behaviour. Note that tests are not marked as `test_expect_failure`: this
is done to explicitly demonstrate the current known-wrong behaviour, and
they will be fixed up as soon as we fix the underlying bugs.
While at it this commit also adds another test case which demonstrates
that backfilling of tags does not return an error code in case the
backfill fails. This bug will also be fixed by a subsequent commit.

When pruning refs fails, we print an error to stderr, but still
exit 0 from 'git fetch'. Since this is a genuine error, fetch
should be exiting with some non-zero exit code. Make it so.
The --prune option was introduced in f360d844de ("builtin-fetch: add

contained command fails, nor will a failure necessarily be detected when
the loop finishes since the loop returns the exit code of the last
command it ran on the final iteration, which may not be the command
which failed. Therefore, detect and signal failures manually within
loops using the idiom `|| return 1` (or `|| exit 1` within subshells).

When executing a fetch, then git will currently allocate one reference
transaction per reference update and directly commit it. This means that
fetches are non-atomic: even if some of the reference updates fail,
others may still succeed and modify local references.
This is fine in many scenarios, but this strategy has its downsides.
- The view of remote references may be inconsistent and may show a
bastardized state of the remote repository.
- Batching together updates may improve performance in certain
scenarios. While the impact probably isn't as pronounced with loose
references, the upcoming reftable backend may benefit as it needs to
write less files in case the update is batched.
- The reference-update hook is currently being executed twice per
updated reference. While this doesn't matter when there is no such
hook, we have seen severe performance regressions when doing a
git-fetch(1) with reference-transaction hook when the remote
repository has hundreds of thousands of references.
Similar to `git push --atomic`, this commit thus introduces atomic
fetches. Instead of allocating one reference transaction per updated
reference, it causes us to only allocate a single transaction and commit
it as soon as all updates were received. If locking of any reference
fails, then we abort the complete transaction and don't update any
reference, which gives us an all-or-nothing fetch.
Note that this may not completely fix the first of above downsides, as
the consistent view also depends on the server-side. If the server
doesn't have a consistent view of its own references during the
reference negotiation phase, then the client would get the same
inconsistent view the server has. This is a separate problem though and,
if it actually exists, can be fixed at a later point.
This commit also changes the way we write FETCH_HEAD in case `--atomic`
is passed. Instead of writing changes as we go, we need to accumulate
all changes first and only commit them at the end when we know that all
reference updates succeeded. Ideally, we'd just do so via a temporary
file so that we don't need to carry all updates in-memory. This isn't
trivially doable though considering the `--append` mode, where we do not
truncate the file but simply append to it. And given that we support
concurrent processes appending to FETCH_HEAD at the same time without
any loss of data, seeding the temporary file with current contents of
FETCH_HEAD initially and then doing a rename wouldn't work either. So
this commit implements the simple strategy of buffering all changes and
appending them to the file on commit.

In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run
the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure
that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts
that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default.
To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to
force-set the default branch name to `master` in
- all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`,
- t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to
initialize the default branch,
- t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`,
- t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also
uses `master`)
This trick was performed by this command:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \
t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh
After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test
scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a
specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a
comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not
actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the
aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly:
$ git checkout HEAD -- \

We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range
of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote
branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the
default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests
actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were
modified thusly:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/lib-git-p4\.sh$/i\

In some tests, the default branch name is part of aligned output. As we
want to change the default branch name to `main`, which is two
characters shorter than the old default branch name, we will have to
adjust those tests.
Since we use the original default branch name until the entire test
suite has been adjusted accordingly, the touched test cases need to be
guarded by a prereq (that is so far disabled so that they are skipped
for now).
The test cases that depend on those test cases that are newly guarded by
that prereq naturally have to be guarded, too.

The run_auto_gc() method is used in several places to trigger a check
for repo maintenance after some Git commands, such as 'git commit' or
'git fetch'.
To allow for extra customization of this maintenance activity, replace
the 'git gc --auto [--quiet]' call with one to 'git maintenance run
--auto [--quiet]'. As we extend the maintenance builtin with other
steps, users will be able to select different maintenance activities.
Rename run_auto_gc() to run_auto_maintenance() to be clearer what is
happening on this call, and to expose all callers in the current diff.
Rewrite the method to use a struct child_process to simplify the calls
slightly.
Since 'git fetch' already allows disabling the 'git gc --auto'
subprocess, add an equivalent option with a different name to be more
descriptive of the new behavior: '--[no-]maintenance'. Update the

If you run fetch but record the result in remote-tracking branches,
and either if you do nothing with the fetched refs (e.g. you are
merely mirroring) or if you always work from the remote-tracking
refs (e.g. you fetch and then merge origin/branchname separately),
you can get away with having no FETCH_HEAD at all.
Teach "git fetch" a command line option "--[no-]write-fetch-head".
The default is to write FETCH_HEAD, and the option is primarily
meant to be used with the "--no-" prefix to override this default,
because there is no matching fetch.writeFetchHEAD configuration
variable to flip the default to off (in which case, the positive
form may become necessary to defeat it).
Note that under "--dry-run" mode, FETCH_HEAD is never written;
otherwise you'd see list of objects in the file that you do not
actually have. Passing `--write-fetch-head` does not force `git
fetch` to write the file.

In the test scripts, the recommended style is, e.g.:
test_expect_success 'name' '
do-something somehow &&
do-some-more testing
'
When using this style, any single quote in the multi-line test section
is actually closing the lone single quotes that surround it.
It can be a non-issue in practice:
test_expect_success 'sed a little' '
sed -e 's/hi/lo/' in >out # "ok": no whitespace in s/hi/lo/
'
Or it can be a bug in the test, e.g., because variable interpolation
happens before the test even begins executing:
v=abc
test_expect_success 'variable interpolation' '
v=def &&
echo '"$v"' # abc
'
Change several such in-test single quotes to use double quotes instead
or, in a few cases, drop them altogether. These were identified using
some crude grepping. We're not fixing any test bugs here, but we're
hopefully making these tests slightly easier to grok and to maintain.
There are legitimate use cases for closing a quote and opening a new
one, e.g., both '\'' and '"'"' can be used to produce a literal single
quote. I'm not touching any of those here.
In t9401, tuck the redirecting ">" to the filename while we're touching
those lines.

Currently we detect the hash algorithm in use by the length of the
object ID. This is inelegant and prevents us from using a different
hash algorithm that is also 256 bits in length.
Since we cannot extend the v2 format in a backward-compatible way, let's
add a v3 format, which is identical, except for the addition of
capabilities, which are prefixed by an at sign. We add "object-format"
as the only capability and reject unknown capabilities, since we do not
have a network connection and therefore cannot negotiate with the other
side.
For compatibility, default to the v2 format for SHA-1 and require v3
for SHA-256.
In t5510, always use format v3 so we can be sure we produce consistent
results across hash algorithms. Since head -n N lists the top N lines
instead of the Nth line, let's run our output through sed to normalize
it and compare it against a fixed value, which will make sure we get
exactly what we're expecting.

We `cat` files, but don't inspect or grab the contents in any way.
Unlike in an earlier commit, there is no reason to suspect that these
files could be missing, so `cat`-ing them is just wasted effort.

To prevent long blocking time during a 'git fetch' call, a user
may want to set up a schedule for background 'git fetch' processes.
However, these runs will update the refs/remotes branches due to
the default refspec set in the config when Git adds a remote.
Hence the user will not notice when remote refs are updated during
their foreground fetches. In fact, they may _want_ those refs to
stay put so they can work with the refs from their last foreground
fetch call.
This can be accomplished by overriding the configured refspec using
'--refmap=' along with a custom refspec:
git fetch --refmap='' <remote> +refs/heads/*:refs/hidden/<remote>/*
to populate a custom ref space and download a pack of the new
reachable objects. This kind of call allows a few things to happen:
1. We download a new pack if refs have updated.
2. Since the refs/hidden branches exist, GC will not remove the
newly-downloaded data.
3. With fetch.writeCommitGraph enabled, the refs/hidden refs are
used to update the commit-graph file.
To avoid the refs/hidden directory from filling without bound, the
--prune option can be included. When providing a refspec like this,
the --prune option does not delete remote refs and instead only
deletes refs in the target refspace.
Update the documentation to clarify how '--refmap=""' works and
create tests to guarantee this behavior remains in the future.

The previous commit includes a failing test for an issue around
fetch.writeCommitGraph and fetching in a repo with a submodule. Here, we
fix that bug and set the test to "test_expect_success".
The problem arises with this set of commands when the remote repo at
<url> has a submodule. Note that --recurse-submodules is not needed to
demonstrate the bug.
$ git clone <url> test
$ cd test
$ git -c fetch.writeCommitGraph=true fetch origin
Computing commit graph generation numbers: 100% (12/12), done.
BUG: commit-graph.c:886: missing parent <hash1> for commit <hash2>
Aborted (core dumped)
As an initial fix, I converted the code in builtin/fetch.c that calls
write_commit_graph_reachable() to instead launch a "git commit-graph
write --reachable --split" process. That code worked, but is not how we
want the feature to work long-term.
That test did demonstrate that the issue must be something to do with
internal state of the 'git fetch' process.
The write_commit_graph() method in commit-graph.c ensures the commits we
plan to write are "closed under reachability" using close_reachable().
This method walks from the input commits, and uses the UNINTERESTING
flag to mark which commits have already been visited. This allows the
walk to take O(N) time, where N is the number of commits, instead of
O(P) time, where P is the number of paths. (The number of paths can be
exponential in the number of commits.)
However, the UNINTERESTING flag is used in lots of places in the
codebase. This flag usually means some barrier to stop a commit walk,
such as in revision-walking to compare histories. It is not often
cleared after the walk completes because the starting points of those
walks do not have the UNINTERESTING flag, and clear_commit_marks() would
stop immediately.
This is happening during a 'git fetch' call with a remote. The fetch
negotiation is comparing the remote refs with the local refs and marking
some commits as UNINTERESTING.
I tested running clear_commit_marks_many() to clear the UNINTERESTING
flag inside close_reachable(), but the tips did not have the flag, so
that did nothing.
It turns out that the calculate_changed_submodule_paths() method is at
fault. Thanks, Peff, for pointing out this detail! More specifically,
for each submodule, the collect_changed_submodules() runs a revision
walk to essentially do file-history on the list of submodules. That
revision walk marks commits UNININTERESTING if they are simplified away
by not changing the submodule.
Instead, I finally arrived on the conclusion that I should use a flag
that is not used in any other part of the code. In commit-reach.c, a
number of flags were defined for commit walk algorithms. The REACHABLE
flag seemed like it made the most sense, and it seems it was not
actually used in the file. The REACHABLE flag was used in early versions
of commit-reach.c, but was removed by 4fbcca4 (commit-reach: make
can_all_from_reach... linear, 2018-07-20).
Add the REACHABLE flag to commit-graph.c and use it instead of
UNINTERESTING in close_reachable(). This fixes the bug in manual
testing.
