If our call to refs_read_raw_ref() fails, we check errno to
see if the ref is simply missing, or if we encountered a
more serious error. If it's just missing, then in "write"
mode (i.e., when RESOLVE_REFS_READING is not set), this is
perfectly fine.
However, checking for ENOENT isn't sufficient to catch all
missing-ref cases. In the filesystem backend, we may also
see EISDIR when we try to resolve "a" and "a/b" exists.
Likewise, we may see ENOTDIR if we try to resolve "a/b" and
"a" exists. In both of those cases, we know that our
resolved ref doesn't exist, but we return an error (rather
than reporting the refname and returning a null sha1).
This has been broken for a long time, but nobody really
noticed because the next step after resolving without the
READING flag is usually to lock the ref and write it. But in
both of those cases, the write will fail with the same
errno due to the directory/file conflict.
There are two cases where we can notice this, though:
1. If we try to write "a" and there's a leftover directory
already at "a", even though there is no ref "a/b". The
actual write is smart enough to move the empty "a" out
of the way.
This is reasonably rare, if only because the writing
code has to do an independent resolution before trying
its write (because the actual update_ref() code handles
this case fine). The notes-merge code does this, and
before the fix in the prior commit t3308 erroneously
expected this case to fail.
2. When resolving symbolic refs, we typically do not use
the READING flag because we want to resolve even
symrefs that point to unborn refs. Even if those unborn
refs could not actually be written because of d/f
conflicts with existing refs.
You can see this by asking "git symbolic-ref" to report
the target of a symref pointing past a d/f conflict.
We can fix the problem by recognizing the other "missing"
errnos and treating them like ENOENT. This should be safe to
do even for callers who are then going to actually write the
ref, because the actual writing process will fail if the d/f
conflict is a real one (and t1404 checks these cases).
Arguably this should be the responsibility of the
files-backend to normalize all "missing ref" errors into
ENOENT (since something like EISDIR may not be meaningful at
all to a database backend). However other callers of
refs_read_raw_ref() may actually care about the distinction;
putting this into resolve_ref() is the minimal fix for now.
The new tests in t1401 use git-symbolic-ref, which is the
most direct way to check the resolution by itself.
Interestingly we actually had a test that setup this case
already, but we only used it to verify that the funny state
could be overwritten, not that it could be resolved.
We also add a new test in t3200, as "branch -m" was the
original motivation for looking into this. What happens is
this:
0. HEAD is pointing to branch "a"
1. The user asks to rename "a" to "a/b".
2. We create "a/b" and delete "a".
3. We then try to update any worktree HEADs that point to
the renamed ref (including the main repo HEAD). To do
that, we have to resolve each HEAD. But now our HEAD is
pointing at "a", and we get EISDIR due to the loose
"a/b". As a result, we think there is no HEAD, and we
do not update it. It now points to the bogus "a".
Interestingly this case used to work, but only accidentally.
Before 31824d180d (branch: fix branch renaming not updating
HEADs correctly, 2017-08-24), we'd update any HEAD which we
couldn't resolve. That was wrong, but it papered over the
fact that we were incorrectly failing to resolve HEAD.
So while the bug demonstrated by the git-symbolic-ref is
quite old, the regression to "branch -m" is recent.

A test in t3308 wants to make sure that we don't
accidentally merge into "refs/notes/dir" when it exists as a
directory, so it does:
mkdir .git/refs/notes/dir
git -c core.notesRef=refs/notes/dir merge ...
and expects the second command to fail. But that
understimates the refs code, which is smart enough to remove
useless directories in the refs hierarchy. The test
succeeded only because of a bug which prevented resolving
refs/notes/dir for writing, even though an actual ref update
would succeed.
In preparation for fixing that bug, let's switch to creating
a real ref in refs/notes/dir, which is a more realistic
situation.

Commit 03b866477 (read-cache: new API write_locked_index instead of

Reintroduce the rollback and document this behavior. While at it, move

If the original version of `write_locked_index()` returned with an
error, it didn't roll back the lockfile unless the error occured at the
very end, during closing/committing. See commit 03b866477 (read-cache:
new API write_locked_index instead of write_index/write_cache,
2014-06-13).
In commit 9f41c7a6b (read-cache: close index.lock in do_write_index,
2017-04-26), we learned to close the lock slightly earlier in the
callstack. That was mostly a side-effect of lockfiles being implemented
using temporary files, but didn't cause any real harm.
Recently, commit 076aa2cbd (tempfile: auto-allocate tempfiles on heap,
2017-09-05) introduced a subtle bug. If the temporary file is deleted
(i.e., the lockfile is rolled back), the tempfile-pointer in the `struct
lock_file` will be left dangling. Thus, an attempt to reuse the
lockfile, or even just to roll it back, will induce undefined behavior
-- most likely a crash.
Besides not crashing, we clearly want to make things consistent. The
guarantees which the lockfile-machinery itself provides is A) if we ask
to commit and it fails, roll back, and B) if we ask to close and it
fails, do _not_ roll back. Let's do the same for consistency.
Do not delete the temporary file in `do_write_index()`. One of its
callers, `write_locked_index()` will thereby avoid rolling back the
lock. The other caller, `write_shared_index()`, will delete its
temporary file anyway. Both of these callers will avoid undefined
behavior (crashing).
Teach `write_locked_index(..., COMMIT_LOCK)` to roll back the lock
before returning. If we have already succeeded and committed, it will be
a noop. Simplify the existing callers where we now have a superfluous
call to `rollback_lockfile()`. That should keep future readers from
wondering why the callers are inconsistent.

`write_locked_index()` takes two flags: `COMMIT_LOCK` and `CLOSE_LOCK`.
At most one is allowed. But it is also possible to use no flag, i.e.,
`0`. But when `write_locked_index()` calls `do_write_index()`, the
temporary file, a.k.a. the lockfile, will be closed. So passing `0` is
effectively the same as `CLOSE_LOCK`, which seems like a bug.
We might feel tempted to restructure the code in order to close the file
later, or conditionally. It also feels a bit unfortunate that we simply
"happen" to close the lock by way of an implementation detail of
lockfiles. But note that we need to close the temporary file before
`stat`-ing it, at least on Windows. See 9f41c7a6b (read-cache: close
index.lock in do_write_index, 2017-04-26).
Drop `CLOSE_LOCK` and make it explicit that `write_locked_index()`
always closes the lock. Whether it is also committed is governed by the
remaining flag, `COMMIT_LOCK`.
This means we neither have nor suggest that we have a mode to write the
index and leave the file open. Whatever extra contents we might
eventually want to write, we should probably write it from within
`write_locked_index()` itself anyway.

When a caller of sha1_object_info_extended() sets the
"contentp" field in object_info, we call unpack_sha1_rest()
but do not check whether it signaled an error.
This causes two problems:
1. We pass back NULL to the caller via the contentp field,
but the function returns "0" for success. A caller
might reasonably expect after a successful return that
it can access contentp without a NULL check and
segfault.
As it happens, this is impossible to trigger in the
current code. There is exactly one caller which uses
contentp, read_object(). And the only thing it does
after a successful call is to return the content
pointer to its caller, using NULL as a sentinel for
errors. So in effect it converts the success code from
sha1_object_info_extended() back into an error!
But this is still worth addressing avoid problems for
future users of "contentp".
2. Callers of unpack_sha1_rest() are expected to close the
zlib stream themselves on error. Which means that we're
leaking the stream.
The problem in (1) comes from from c84a1f3ed4 (sha1_file:
refactor read_object, 2017-06-21), which added the contentp
field. Before that, we called unpack_sha1_rest() via
unpack_sha1_file(), which directly used the NULL to signal
an error.
But note that the leak in (2) is actually older than that.
The original unpack_sha1_file() directly returned the result
of unpack_sha1_rest() to its caller, when it should have
been closing the zlib stream itself on error.

We have two users of `struct apply_state` and the related functionality
in apply.c. Each user sets up its `apply_state` by handing over a
pointer to its static `lock_file`. (Before 076aa2cbd (tempfile:
auto-allocate tempfiles on heap, 2017-09-05), we could never free
lockfiles, so making them static was a reasonable approach.)
Other than that, they never directly access their `lock_file`s, which
are instead handled by the functionality in apply.c.
To make life easier for the caller and to make it less tempting for a
future caller to mess with the lock, make apply.c fully responsible for
setting up the `lock_file`. As mentioned above, it is now safe to free a
`lock_file`, so we can make the `struct apply_state` contain an actual
`struct lock_file` instead of a pointer to one.
The user in builtin/apply.c is rather simple. For builtin/am.c, we might
worry that the lock state is actually meant to be inherited across
calls. But the lock is only taken as `apply_all_patches()` executes, and
code inspection shows that it will always be released.
Alternatively, we can observe that the lock itself is never queried
directly. When we decide whether we should lock, we check a related
variable `newfd`. That variable is not inherited, so from the point of
view of apply.c, the state machine really is reset with each call to
`init_apply_state()`. (It would be a bug if `newfd` and the lock status
were not in sync. The duplication of information in `newfd` and the lock
will be addressed in the next patch.)

After we have taken the lock using `LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR`, we know that

before calling `write_locked_index()`, the outcome is guaranteed.
If we write and commit successfully, we set `newfd = -1`, so that we can
later avoid calling `rollback_lock_file` on an already-committed lock.
But we might just as well unconditionally call `rollback_lock_file()` --
it will be a no-op if we have already committed.
All in all, we use `newfd` as a bool and the only benefit we get from it
is that we can avoid calling a no-op. Remove `newfd` so that we have one

Bump `found` to the scope of the whole function and rearrange the "roll

That means an external filter might answer in the first write_entry()
call on a file that requires filtering "I got your request, but I
can't answer right now. Ask again later!". As Git got no answer, we do
not write anything to the filesystem. Consequently, the lstat() call in
the finish block of the function writes garbage to the cache entry.
The garbage is eventually overwritten when the filter answers with
the final file content in a subsequent write_entry() call.
Fix the brief time window of garbage in the cache entry by adding a
special finish block that does nothing for delayed responses. The cache
entry is written properly in a subsequent write_entry() call where
the filter responds with the final file content.
