99474b6340 difftool: honor --trust-exit-code for builtin tools
run_merge_tool() was not setting $status, which prevented the
exit code for builtin tools from being forwarded to the caller.

Capture the exit status and add a test to guarantee the behavior.

f904f6603a t5705: the file:// URL should be absolute
The test misused a URL "file://." to mean "relative to here",
which we no longer accept.

In a file:// URL, typically there is no host, and RFC1738 says that
file:///<path> should be used.

Update t5705 to use a working URL.

aae828b911 t1410: fix breakage on case-insensitive filesystems
Two tests recently added to t1410 create branches "a" and
"a/b" to test d/f conflicts on reflogs. Earlier, unrelated
tests in that script create the path "A/B" in the working
tree.  There's no conflict on a case-sensitive filesystem,
but on a case-insensitive one, "git log" will complain that
"a/b" is both a revision and a working tree path.

We could fix this by using a "--" to disambiguate, but we
are probably better off using names that are less confusing
to make it more clear that they are unrelated to the working
tree files.  This patch turns "a/b" into "one/two".

9233887cce ignore stale directories when checking reflog existence
When we update a ref, we have two rules for whether or not
we actually update the reflog:

  1. If the reflog already exists, we will always append to
     it.

  2. If log_all_ref_updates is set, we will create a new
     reflog file if necessary.

We do the existence check by trying to open the reflog file,
either with or without O_CREAT (depending on log_all_ref_updates).
If it fails, then we check errno to see what happened.

If we were not using O_CREAT and we got ENOENT, the file
doesn't exist, and we return success (there isn't a reflog
already, and we were not told to make a new one).

If we get EISDIR, then there is likely a stale directory
that needs to be removed (e.g., there used to be "foo/bar",
it was deleted, and the directory "foo" was left. Now we
want to create the ref "foo"). If O_CREAT is set, then we
catch this case, try to remove the directory, and retry our
open. So far so good.

But if we get EISDIR and O_CREAT is not set, then we treat
this as any other error, which is not right. Like ENOENT,
EISDIR is an indication that we do not have a reflog, and we
should silently return success (we were not told to create
it). Instead, the current code reports this as an error, and
we fail to update the ref at all.

Note that this is relatively unlikely to happen, as you
would have to have had reflogs turned on, and then later
turned them off (it could also happen due to a bug in fetch,
but that was fixed in the previous commit). However, it's
quite easy to fix: we just need to treat EISDIR like ENOENT
for the non-O_CREAT case, and silently return (note that
this early return means we can also simplify the O_CREAT
case).

Our new tests cover both cases (O_CREAT and non-O_CREAT).
The first one already worked, of course.

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.

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.

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.

It's not unreasonable to have a tag that points to a blob
that is not part of the normal history. We do this in
git.git to distribute gpg keys. However, we never explicitly
checked in our test suite that this actually works (i.e.,
that pack-objects actually sends the blob because of the tag
mentioning it).

It does in fact work fine, but a recent patch under
discussion broke this, and the test suite didn't notice.
Let's make the test suite more complete.

33d4221c79 write_sha1_file: freshen existing objects
When we try to write a loose object file, we first check
whether that object already exists. If so, we skip the
write as an optimization. However, this can interfere with
prune's strategy of using mtimes to mark files in progress.

For example, if a branch contains a particular tree object
and is deleted, that tree object may become unreachable, and
have an old mtime. If a new operation then tries to write
the same tree, this ends up as a noop; we notice we
already have the object and do nothing. A prune running
simultaneously with this operation will see the object as
old, and may delete it.

We can solve this by "freshening" objects that we avoid
writing by updating their mtime. The algorithm for doing so
is essentially the same as that of has_sha1_file. Therefore
we provide a new (static) interface "check_and_freshen",
which finds and optionally freshens the object. It's trivial
to implement freshening and simple checking by tweaking a
single parameter.

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.

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.

d0f810f0bc refs.c: allow listing and deleting badly named refs
We currently do not handle badly named refs well:

  $ cp .git/refs/heads/master .git/refs/heads/master.....@\*@\\.
  $ git branch
    fatal: Reference has invalid format: 'refs/heads/master.....@*@\.'
  $ git branch -D master.....@\*@\\.
    error: branch 'master.....@*@\.' not found.

Users cannot recover from a badly named ref without manually finding
and deleting the loose ref file or appropriate line in packed-refs.
Making that easier will make it easier to tweak the ref naming rules
in the future, for example to forbid shell metacharacters like '`'
and '"', without putting people in a state that is hard to get out of.

So allow "branch --list" to show these refs and allow "branch -d/-D"
and "update-ref -d" to delete them.  Other commands (for example to
rename refs) will continue to not handle these refs but can be changed
in later patches.

Details:

In resolving functions, refuse to resolve refs that don't pass the
git-check-ref-format(1) check unless the new RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME
flag is passed.  Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, refuse to
resolve refs that escape the refs/ directory and do not match the
pattern [A-Z_]* (think "HEAD" and "MERGE_HEAD").

In locking functions, refuse to act on badly named refs unless they
are being deleted and either are in the refs/ directory or match [A-Z_]*.

Just like other invalid refs, flag resolved, badly named refs with the
REF_ISBROKEN flag, treat them as resolving to null_sha1, and skip them
in all iteration functions except for for_each_rawref.

Flag badly named refs (but not symrefs pointing to badly named refs)
with a REF_BAD_NAME flag to make it easier for future callers to
notice and handle them specially.  For example, in a later patch
for-each-ref will use this flag to detect refs whose names can confuse
callers parsing for-each-ref output.

In the transaction API, refuse to create or update badly named refs,
but allow deleting them (unless they try to escape refs/ and don't match
[A-Z_]*).

62a2d52514 branch -d: avoid repeated symref resolution
If a repository gets in a broken state with too much symref nesting,
it cannot be repaired with "git branch -d":

 $ git symbolic-ref refs/heads/nonsense refs/heads/nonsense
 $ git branch -d nonsense
 error: branch 'nonsense' not found.

Worse, "git update-ref --no-deref -d" doesn't work for such repairs
either:

 $ git update-ref -d refs/heads/nonsense
 error: unable to resolve reference refs/heads/nonsense: Too many levels of symbolic links

Fix both by teaching resolve_ref_unsafe a new RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE
flag and passing it when appropriate.

Callers can still read the value of a symref (for example to print a
message about it) with that flag set --- resolve_ref_unsafe will
resolve one level of symrefs and stop there.
