The old code ignored any errors encountered when trying to fopen the
"packed-refs" file, treating all such failures as if the file didn't
exist. But it could be that there is some other error opening the
file (e.g., permissions problems), and we don't want to silently
ignore such problems. So report any failures that are not due to
ENOENT.

In the future, compound reference stores will sometimes need to modify
references in two different reference stores at the same time, meaning
that a single logical reference transaction might have to be
implemented as two internal sub-transactions. They won't want to call
`ref_transaction_commit()` for the two sub-transactions one after the
other, because that wouldn't be atomic (the first commit could succeed
and the second one fail). Instead, they will want to prepare both
sub-transactions (i.e., obtain any necessary locks and do any
pre-checks), and only if both prepare steps succeed, then commit both
sub-transactions.
Start preparing for that day by adding a new, optional
`ref_transaction_prepare()` step to the reference transaction
sequence, which obtains the locks and does any prechecks, reporting
any errors that occur. Also add a `ref_transaction_abort()` function
that can be used to abort a sub-transaction even if it has already
been prepared.
That is on the side of the public-facing API. On the side of the
`ref_store` VTABLE, get rid of `transaction_commit` and instead add
methods `transaction_prepare`, `transaction_finish`, and
`transaction_abort`. A `ref_transaction_commit()` now basically calls
methods `transaction_prepare` then `transaction_finish`.

The `trim` parameter can be set independently of `prefix`. So if some
caller were to set `trim` to be greater than `strlen(prefix)`, we
could end up pointing the `refname` field of the iterator past the NUL
of the actual reference name string.
That can't happen currently, because `trim` is always set either to
zero or to `strlen(prefix)`. But even the latter could lead to
confusion, if a refname is exactly equal to the prefix, because then
we would set the outgoing `refname` to the empty string.
And we're about to decouple the `prefix` and `trim` arguments even
more, so let's be cautious here. Report a bug if ever asked to trim a
reference whose name is not longer than `trim`.

So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation

By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.
As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,

Use reference iteration rather than do_for_each_entry_in_dir() in the
definition of commit_packed_refs().
Note that an internal consistency check that was previously done in
`write_packed_entry_fn()` is not there anymore. This is actually an
improvement:
The old error message was emitted when there is an entry in the
packed-ref cache that is not `REF_KNOWS_PEELED`, and when we attempted
to peel the reference, the result was `PEEL_INVALID`,
`PEEL_IS_SYMREF`, or `PEEL_BROKEN`. Since a packed ref cannot be a
symref, `PEEL_IS_SYMREF` and `PEEL_BROKEN` can be ruled out. So we're
left with `PEEL_INVALID`.
An entry without `REF_KNOWS_PEELED` can get into the packed-refs cache
in the following two ways:
* The reference was read from a `packed-refs` file that didn't have
the `fully-peeled` attribute. In that case, we *don't want* to emit
an error, because the broken value is presumably a stale value of
the reference that is now masked by a loose version of the same
reference (which we just don't happen to be packing this time). This
is a perfectly legitimate situation and doesn't indicate that the
repository is corrupt. The old code incorrectly emits an error
message in this case. (It was probably never reported as a bug
because this scenario is rare.)
* The reference was a loose reference that was just added to the
packed ref cache by `files_packed_refs()` via
`pack_if_possible_fn()` in preparation for being packed. The latter
function refuses to pack a reference for which
`entry_resolves_to_object()` returns false, and otherwise calls
`peel_entry()` itself and checks the return value. So an entry added
this way should always have `REF_KNOWS_PEELED` and shouldn't trigger
the error message in either the old code or the new.

Since references under "refs/bisect/" are per-worktree, they have to
be sought in the worktree rather than in the main repository. But
since loose references are found by traversing directories, the
reference iterator won't even get the idea to look for a
"refs/bisect/" directory in the worktree if there is not a directory
with that name in the main repository. Thus `get_ref_dir()` manually
inserts a dir_entry for "refs/bisect/" whenever it reads the entry for
"refs/".
The current code then immediately calls `read_loose_refs()` on that
directory. But since the dir_entry is created with its `incomplete`
flag set, any traversal that gets to this point will read the
directory automatically. So there is no need to call
`read_loose_refs()` explicitly; the lazy mechanism suffices.
And in fact, the attempt to `read_loose_refs()` was broken anyway.
That function needs its `dirname` argument to have a trailing `/`
character, but the invocation here was passing it "refs/bisect"
without a trailing slash. So `read_loose_refs()` would read
`$GIT_DIR/refs/bisect" correctly, but if it found an entry "foo" in
that directory, it would try to read "$GIT_DIR/refs/bisectfoo".
Normally it wouldn't find anything at that path, but the failure was
canceled out because `get_ref_dir()` *also* forgot to reset the
`REF_INCOMPLETE` bit on the dir_entry. So the read was attempted again
when it was accessed, via the lazy mechanism, and this time the read
was done correctly.
This code has been broken since it was first introduced.

files-backend.c is unlearning submodules. Instead of having a specific
check for submodules to see what operation is allowed, files backend
now takes a set of flags at init. Each operation will check if the
required flags is present before performing.
For now we have four flags: read, write and odb access. Main ref store
has all flags, obviously, while submodule stores are read-only and have
access to odb (*).
The "main" flag stays because many functions in the backend calls
frontend ones without a ref store, so these functions always target the
main ref store. Ideally the flag should be gone after ref-store-aware
api is in place and used by backends.
(*) Submodule code needs for_each_ref. Try take REF_STORE_ODB flag
out. At least t3404 would fail. The "have access to odb" in submodule is
a bit hacky since we don't know from he whether add_submodule_odb() has

safe_create_dir() can do adjust_shared_perm() internally, and init-db
has always created 'refs' in shared mode since the beginning,
af6e277c5e (git-init-db: initialize shared repositories with --shared -
2005-12-22). So this code looks like extra adjust_shared_perm calls are
unnecessary.
And they are. But let's see why there are here in the first place.
This code was added in 6fb5acfd8f (refs: add methods to init refs db -
2016-09-04). From the diff alone this looks like a faithful refactored
code from init-db.c. But there is a subtle difference:
Between the safe_create_dir() block and adjust_shared_perm() block in
the old init-db.c, we may copy/recreate directories from the repo
template. So it makes sense that adjust_shared_perm() is re-executed
then to fix potential permission screwups.
After 6fb5acfd8f, refs dirs are created after template is copied. Nobody
will change directory permission again. So the extra adjust_shared_perm()
is redudant. Delete them.

Renaming the current branch adds an event to the current branch's log
and to HEAD's log. However, the logged entries differ. The entry in
the branch's log represents the entire renaming operation (the old and
new hash are identical), whereas the entry in HEAD's log represents
the deletion only (the new sha1 is null).
Extend replace_each_worktree_head_symref(), whose only caller is
branch_rename(), to take a reflog message argument. This allows the
creation of the new ref to be recorded in HEAD's log. As a result,
the renaming event is represented by two entries (a deletion and a
creation entry) in HEAD's log.
It's a bit unfortunate that the branch's log and HEAD's log now
represent the renaming event in different ways. Given that the
renaming operation is not atomic, the two-entry form is a more
accurate representation of the operation and is more useful for
debugging purposes if a failure occurs between the deletion and
creation events. It would make sense to move the branch's log to the
two-entry form, but this would involve changes to how the rename is
carried out and to how the update flags and reflogs are processed for
deletions, so it may not be worth the effort.

When the current branch is renamed with 'git branch -m/-M' or deleted
with 'git update-ref -m<msg> -d', the event is recorded in HEAD's log
with an empty message. In preparation for adding a more meaningful
message to HEAD's log in these cases, update delete_ref() to take a
message argument and pass it along to ref_transaction_delete().
Modify all callers to pass NULL for the new message argument; no
change in behavior is intended.
Note that this is relevant for HEAD's log but not for the deleted
ref's log, which is currently deleted along with the ref. Even if it
were not, an entry for the deletion wouldn't be present in the deleted
ref's log. files_transaction_commit() writes to the log if
REF_NEEDS_COMMIT or REF_LOG_ONLY are set, but lock_ref_for_update()
doesn't set REF_NEEDS_COMMIT for the deleted ref because REF_DELETING
is set. In contrast, the update for HEAD has REF_LOG_ONLY set by
split_head_update(), resulting in the deletion being logged.

The "core.logAllRefUpdates" that used to be boolean has been
enhanced to take 'always' as well, to record ref updates to refs
other than the ones that are expected to be updated (i.e. branches,
remote-tracking branches and notes).
* cw/log-updates-for-all-refs-really:
doc: add note about ignoring '--no-create-reflog'
update-ref: add test cases for bare repository
refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = always
config: add markup to core.logAllRefUpdates doc
When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs
that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we
know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and
that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a
hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old
history immediately).
However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log
for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than
the performance implications of keeping the log around.
This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates
option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless
where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like
ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

When deleting/pruning references, remove any directories that are made
empty by the deletion of loose references or of reflogs. Otherwise such
empty directories can survive forever and accumulate over time. (Even
'pack-refs', which is smart enough to remove the parent directories of
loose references that it prunes, leaves directories that were already
empty.)
And now that files_transaction_commit() takes care of deleting the
parent directories of loose references that it prunes, we don't have to
do that in prune_ref() anymore.
This change would be unwise if the *creation* of these directories could
race with our deletion of them. But the earlier changes in this patch
series made the creation paths robust against races, so now it is safe
to tidy them up more aggressively.

Our ref resolution first runs lstat() on any path we try to
look up, because we want to treat symlinks specially (by
resolving them manually and considering them symrefs). But
if the results of `readlink` do _not_ look like a ref, we
fall through to treating it like a normal file, and just
read the contents of the linked path.
Since fcb7c76 (resolve_ref_unsafe(): close race condition
reading loose refs, 2013-06-19), that "normal file" code
path will stat() the file and if we see ENOENT, will jump
back to the lstat(), thinking we've seen inconsistent
results between the two calls. But for a symbolic ref, this
isn't a race: the lstat() found the symlink, and the stat()
is looking at the path it points to. We end up in an
infinite loop calling lstat() and stat().
We can fix this by avoiding the retry-on-inconsistent jump
when we know that we found a symlink. While we're at it,
let's add a comment explaining why the symlink case gets to
this code in the first place; without that, it is not
obvious that the correct solution isn't to avoid the stat()
code path entirely.

The greater goal of this patch series is to develop the concept of a
reference store, which is a place that references, their values, and
their reflogs are stored, and to virtualize the reference interface so
that different types of ref_stores can be implemented. We will then, for
example, use ref_store instances to access submodule references and
worktree references.
Currently, we keep a ref_cache for each submodule that has had its
references iterated over. It is a far cry from a ref_store, but they are
stored the way we will want to store ref_stores, and ref_stores will
eventually have to hold the reference caches. So let's treat ref_caches
as embryo ref_stores, and build them out from there.
As the first step, simply rename `ref_cache` to `files_ref_store`, and
rename some functions and attributes correspondingly.

Currently, do_submodule_path will attempt locating the .git directory by
using read_gitfile on <path>/.git. If this fails it just assumes the
<path>/.git is actually a git directory.
This is good because it allows for handling submodules which were cloned
in a regular manner first before being added to the superproject.
Unfortunately this fails if the <path> is not actually checked out any
longer, such as by removing the directory.
Fix this by checking if the directory we found is actually a gitdir. In
the case it is not, attempt to lookup the submodule configuration and
find the name of where it is stored in the .git/modules/ directory of
the superproject.
If we can't locate the submodule configuration, this might occur because
for example a submodule gitlink was added but the corresponding
.gitmodules file was not properly updated. A die() here would not be
pleasant to the users of submodule diff formats, so instead, modify
do_submodule_path() to return an error code:
- git_pathdup_submodule() returns NULL when we fail to find a path.
- strbuf_git_path_submodule() propagates the error code to the caller.
Modify the callers of these functions to check the error code and fail
properly. This ensures we don't attempt to use a bad path that doesn't
match the corresponding submodule.
Because this change fixes add_submodule_odb() to work even if the
submodule is not checked out, update the wording of the submodule log
diff format to correctly display that the submodule is "not initialized"
instead of "not checked out"
Add tests to ensure this change works as expected.

Use the reference iterator interface to implement do_for_each_ref().
Delete a bunch of code supporting the old for_each_ref() implementation.
And now that do_for_each_ref() is generic code (it is no longer tied to
the files backend), move it to refs.c.
The implementation is via a new function, do_for_each_ref_iterator(),
which takes a reference iterator as argument and calls a callback
function for each of the references in the iterator.
This change requires the current_ref performance hack for peel_ref() to
be implemented via ref_iterator_peel() rather than peel_entry() because
we don't have a ref_entry handy (it is hidden under three layers:
file_ref_iterator, merge_ref_iterator, and cache_ref_iterator). So:
* do_for_each_ref_iterator() records the active iterator in
current_ref_iter while it is running.
* peel_ref() checks whether current_ref_iter is pointing at the
requested reference. If so, it asks the iterator to peel the
reference (which it can do efficiently via its "peel" virtual
function). For extra safety, we do the optimization only if the
refname *addresses* are the same, not only if the refname *strings*
are the same, to forestall possible mixups between refnames that come
from different ref_iterators.
Please note that this optimization of peel_ref() is only available when
iterating via do_for_each_ref_iterator() (including all of the
for_each_ref() functions, which call it indirectly). It would be
complicated to implement a similar optimization when iterating directly
using a reference iterator, because multiple reference iterators can be
in use at the same time, with interleaved calls to
ref_iterator_advance(). (In fact we do exactly that in
merge_ref_iterator.)
But that is not necessary. peel_ref() is only called while iterating
over references. Callers who iterate using the for_each_ref() functions
benefit from the optimization described above. Callers who iterate using
reference iterators directly have access to the ref_iterator, so they
can call ref_iterator_peel() themselves to get an analogous optimization
in a more straightforward manner.
If we rewrite all callers to use the reference iteration API, then we
can remove the current_ref_iter hack permanently.

Currently, the API for iterating over references is via a family of
for_each_ref()-type functions that invoke a callback function for each
selected reference. All of these eventually call do_for_each_ref(),
which knows how to do one thing: iterate in parallel through two
ref_caches, one for loose and one for packed refs, giving loose
references precedence over packed refs. This is rather complicated code,
and is quite specialized to the files backend. It also requires callers
to encapsulate their work into a callback function, which often means
that they have to define and use a "cb_data" struct to manage their
context.
The current design is already bursting at the seams, and will become
even more awkward in the upcoming world of multiple reference storage
backends:
* Per-worktree vs. shared references are currently handled via a kludge
in git_path() rather than iterating over each part of the reference
namespace separately and merging the results. This kludge will cease
to work when we have multiple reference storage backends.
* The current scheme is inflexible. What if we sometimes want to bypass
the ref_cache, or use it only for packed or only for loose refs? What
if we want to store symbolic refs in one type of storage backend and
non-symbolic ones in another?
In the future, each reference backend will need to define its own way of
iterating over references. The crux of the problem with the current
design is that it is impossible to compose for_each_ref()-style
iterations, because the flow of control is owned by the for_each_ref()
function. There is nothing that a caller can do but iterate through all
references in a single burst, so there is no way for it to interleave
references from multiple backends and present the result to the rest of
the world as a single compound backend.
This commit introduces a new iteration primitive for references: a
ref_iterator. A ref_iterator is a polymorphic object that a reference
storage backend can be asked to instantiate. There are three functions
that can be applied to a ref_iterator:
* ref_iterator_advance(): move to the next reference in the iteration
* ref_iterator_abort(): end the iteration before it is exhausted
* ref_iterator_peel(): peel the reference currently being looked at
Iterating using a ref_iterator leaves the flow of control in the hands
of the caller, which means that ref_iterators from multiple
sources (e.g., loose and packed refs) can be composed and presented to
the world as a single compound ref_iterator.
It also means that the backend code for implementing reference iteration
will sometimes be more complicated. For example, the
cache_ref_iterator (which iterates over a ref_cache) can't use the C
stack to recurse; instead, it must manage its own stack internally as
explicit data structures. There is also a lot of boilerplate connected
with object-oriented programming in C.
Eventually, end-user callers will be able to be written in a more
natural way—managing their own flow of control rather than having to
work via callbacks. Since there will only be a few reference backends
but there are many consumers of this API, this is a good tradeoff.
More importantly, we gain composability, and especially the possibility
of writing interchangeable parts that can work with any ref_iterator.
For example, merge_ref_iterator implements a generic way of merging the
contents of any two ref_iterators. It is used to merge loose + packed
refs as part of the implementation of the files_ref_iterator. But it
will also be possible to use it to merge other pairs of reference
sources (e.g., per-worktree vs. shared refs).
Another example is prefix_ref_iterator, which can be used to trim a
prefix off the front of reference names before presenting them to the
caller (e.g., "refs/heads/master" -> "master").
In this patch, we introduce the iterator abstraction and many utilities,
and implement a reference iterator for the files ref storage backend.
(I've written several other obvious utilities, for example a generic way
to filter references being iterated over. These will probably be useful
in the future. But they are not needed for this patch series, so I am
not including them at this time.)
In a moment we will rewrite do_for_each_ref() to work via reference
iterators (allowing some special-purpose code to be discarded), and do
something similar for reflogs. In future patch series, we will expose
the ref_iterator abstraction in the public refs API so that callers can
use it directly.
Implementation note: I tried abstracting this a layer further to allow
generic iterators (over arbitrary types of objects) and generic
utilities like a generic merge_iterator. But the implementation in C was
very cumbersome, involving (in my opinion) too much boilerplate and too
much unsafe casting, some of which would have had to be done on the
caller side. However, I did put a few iterator-related constants in a
top-level header file, iterator.h, as they will be useful in a moment to
implement iteration over directory trees and possibly other types of
iterators in the future.

If a transaction includes a non-NODEREF update to a symbolic reference,
we don't have to look it up in lock_ref_for_update(). The reference will
be dereferenced anyway when the split-off update is processed.
This change requires that we store a backpointer from the split-off
update to its parent update, for two reasons:
* We still want to report the original reference name in error messages.
So if an error occurs when checking the split-off update's old_sha1,
walk the parent_update pointers back to find the original reference
name, and report that one.
* We still need to write the old_sha1 of the symref to its reflog. So
after we read the split-off update's reference value, walk the
parent_update pointers back and fill in their old_sha1 fields.
Aside from eliminating unnecessary reads, this change fixes a
subtle (though not very serious) race condition: in the old code, the
old_sha1 of the symref was resolved before the reference that it pointed
at was locked. So it was possible that the old_sha1 value logged to the
symref's reflog could be wrong if another process changed the downstream
reference before it was locked.

Before the previous patch, our first read of the reference happened
before the reference was locked, so we couldn't trust its value and had
to read it again. But now that our first read of the reference happens
after acquiring the lock, there is no need to read it a second time. So
move the read_ref_full() call into the (update->type & REF_ISSYMREF)
block.

Before committing ref updates, split symbolic ref updates into two
parts: an update to the underlying ref, and a log-only update to the
symbolic ref. This ensures that both references are locked correctly
during the transaction, including while their reflogs are updated.
Similarly, if the reference pointed to by HEAD is modified directly, add
a separate log-only update to HEAD, rather than leaving the job of
updating HEAD's reflog to commit_ref_update(). This change ensures that
HEAD is locked correctly while its reflog is being modified, as well as
being cheaper (HEAD only needs to be resolved once).
This makes use of a new function, lock_raw_ref(), which is analogous to
read_raw_ref(), but acquires a lock on the reference before reading it.
This change still has two problems:
* There are redundant read_ref_full() reference lookups.
* It is still possible to get incorrect reflogs for symbolic references
if there is a concurrent update by another process, since the old_oid
of a symref is determined before the lock on the pointed-to ref is
held.
Both problems will soon be fixed.

Part of the bug revealed in the last commit is that resolve_ref_unsafe()
incorrectly returns EISDIR if it finds a directory in the place where it
is looking for a loose reference, even if the corresponding packed
reference exists. lock_ref_sha1_basic() notices the bogus EISDIR, and
use it as an indication that it should call remove_empty_directories()
and call resolve_ref_unsafe() again.
But resolve_ref_unsafe() shouldn't report EISDIR in this case. If we
would simply make that change, then remove_empty_directories() wouldn't
get called anymore, and the empty directory would get in the way when
commit_ref() calls commit_lock_file() to rename the lockfile into place.
So instead of relying on lock_ref_sha1_basic() to delete empty
directories, teach commit_ref(), just before calling commit_lock_file(),
to check whether a directory is in the way, and if so, try to delete it.

read_raw_ref() is going to be part of the vtable for reference backends,
so clean up its interface to use "unsigned int flags" rather than "int
flags". Its caller still uses signed int for its flags arguments. But
changing that would touch a lot of code, so leave it for now.

Instead of creating scratch space in resolve_ref_unsafe() and passing
it down through resolve_ref_1 to read_raw_ref(), teach read_raw_ref()
to manage its own scratch space. This reduces coupling across the
functions at the cost of some extra allocations.
Also, when read_raw_ref() is implemented for different reference
backends, the other implementations might have different scratch
space requirements.
Note that we now preserve errno across the calls to strbuf_release(),
which calls free() and can thus theoretically overwrite errno.

The underlying machinery used by "ls-files -o" and other commands
have been taught not to create empty submodule ref cache for a
directory that is not a submodule. This removes a ton of wasted
CPU cycles.
* jk/ref-cache-non-repository-optim:
resolve_gitlink_ref: ignore non-repository paths
clean: make is_git_repository a public function
When we want to look up a submodule ref, we use
get_ref_cache(path) to find or auto-create its ref cache.
But if we feed a path that isn't actually a git repository,
we blindly create the ref cache, and then may die deeper in
the code when we try to access it. This is a problem because
many callers speculatively feed us a path that looks vaguely
like a repository, and expect us to tell them when it is
not.
This patch teaches resolve_gitlink_ref to reject
non-repository paths without creating a ref_cache. This
avoids the die(), and also performs better if you have a
large number of these faux-submodule directories (because
the ref_cache lookup is linear, under the assumption that
there won't be a large number of submodules).
To accomplish this, we also break get_ref_cache into two
pieces: the lookup and auto-creation (the latter is lumped
into create_ref_cache). This lets us first cheaply ask our
cache "is it a submodule we know about?" If so, we can avoid
repeating our filesystem lookup. So lookups of real
submodules are not penalized; they examine the submodule's
.git directory only once.
The test in t3000 demonstrates a case where this improves
correctness (we used to just die). The new perf case in
p7300 shows off the speed improvement in an admittedly
pathological repository:
Test HEAD^ HEAD

We sometimes call lock_ref_sha1_basic with REF_NODEREF
to operate directly on a symbolic ref. This is used, for
example, to move to a detached HEAD, or when updating
the contents of HEAD via checkout or symbolic-ref.
However, the first step of the function is to resolve the
refname to get the "old" sha1, and we do so without telling
resolve_ref_unsafe() that we are only interested in the
symref. As a result, we may detect a problem there not with
the symref itself, but with something it points to.
The real-world example I found (and what is used in the test
suite) is a HEAD pointing to a ref that cannot exist,
because it would cause a directory/file conflict with other
existing refs. This situation is somewhat broken, of
course, as trying to _commit_ on that HEAD would fail. But
it's not explicitly forbidden, and we should be able to move
away from it. However, neither "git checkout" nor "git
symbolic-ref" can do so. We try to take the lock on HEAD,
which is pointing to a non-existent ref. We bail from
resolve_ref_unsafe() with errno set to EISDIR, and the lock
code thinks we are attempting to create a d/f conflict.
Of course we're not. The problem is that the lock code has
no idea what level we were at when we got EISDIR, so trying
to diagnose or remove empty directories for HEAD is not
useful.
To make things even more complicated, we only get EISDIR in
the loose-ref case. If the refs are packed, the resolution
may "succeed", giving us the pointed-to ref in "refname",
but a null oid. Later, we say "ah, the null oid means we are
creating; let's make sure there is room for it", but
mistakenly check against the _resolved_ refname, not the
original.
We can fix this by making two tweaks:
1. Call resolve_ref_unsafe() with RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE
when REF_NODEREF is set. This means any errors
we get will be from the orig_refname, and we can act
accordingly.
We already do this in the REF_DELETING case, but we
should do it for update, too.
2. If we do get a "refname" return from
resolve_ref_unsafe(), even with RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE
it may be the name of the ref pointed-to by a symref.
We already normalize this back to orig_refname before
taking the lockfile, but we need to do so before the
null_oid check.
While we're rearranging the REF_NODEREF handling, we can
also bump the initialization of lflags to the top of the
function, where we are setting up other flags. This saves us
from having yet another conditional block on REF_NODEREF
just to set it later.

Our basic strategy for taking a ref lock is:
1. Create $ref.lock to take the lock
2. Read the ref again while holding the lock (during which
time we know that nobody else can be updating it).
3. Compare the value we read to the expected "old_sha1"
The value we read in step (2) is returned to the caller via
the lock->old_oid field, who may use it for other purposes
(such as writing a reflog).
If we have no "old_sha1" (i.e., we are unconditionally
taking the lock), then we obviously must omit step 3. But we
_also_ omit step 2. This seems like a nice optimization, but
it means that the caller sees only whatever was left in
lock->old_oid from previous calls to resolve_ref_unsafe(),
which happened outside of the lock.
We can demonstrate this race pretty easily. Imagine you have
three commits, $one, $two, and $three. One script just flips
between $one and $two, without providing an old-sha1:
while true; do
git update-ref -m one refs/heads/foo $one
git update-ref -m two refs/heads/foo $two
done
Meanwhile, another script tries to set the value to $three,
also not using an old-sha1:
while true; do
git update-ref -m three refs/heads/foo $three
done
If these run simultaneously, we'll see a lot of lock
contention, but each of the writes will succeed some of the
time. The reflog may record movements between any of the
three refs, but we would expect it to provide a consistent
log: the "from" field of each log entry should be the same
as the "to" field of the previous one.
But if we check this:
perl -alne '
print "mismatch on line $."
if defined $last && $F[0] ne $last;
$last = $F[1];
' .git/logs/refs/heads/foo
we'll see many mismatches. Why?
Because sometimes, in the time between lock_ref_sha1_basic
filling lock->old_oid via resolve_ref_unsafe() and it taking
the lock, there may be a complete write by another process.
And the "from" field in our reflog entry will be wrong, and
will refer to an older value.
This is probably quite rare in practice. It requires writers
which do not provide an old-sha1 value, and it is a very
quick race. However, it is easy to fix: we simply perform
step (2), the read-under-lock, whether we have an old-sha1
or not. Then the value we hand back to the caller is always
atomic.

We generally hold a lock on the matching ref while writing
to its reflog; this prevents two simultaneous writers from
clobbering each other's reflog lines (it does not even have
to be two symref updates; because we don't hold the lock, we
could race with somebody writing to the pointed-to ref via
HEAD, for example).
We can fix this by writing the reflog before we commit the
lockfile. This runs the risk of writing the reflog but
failing the final rename(), but at least we now err on the
same side as the rest of the ref code.

The create_symref() function predates the existence of
"struct lock_file", let alone the more recent "struct
ref_lock". Instead, it just does its own manual dot-locking.
Besides being more code, this has a few downsides:
- if git is interrupted while holding the lock, we don't
clean up the lockfile
- we don't do the usual directory/filename conflict check.
So you can sometimes create a symref "refs/heads/foo/bar",
even if "refs/heads/foo" exists (namely, if the refs are
packed and we do not hit the d/f conflict in the
filesystem).
This patch refactors create_symref() to use the "struct
ref_lock" interface, which handles both of these things.
There are a few bonus cleanups that come along with it:
- we leaked ref_path in some error cases
- the symref contents were stored in a fixed-size buffer,
putting an artificial (albeit large) limitation on the
length of the refname. We now write through fprintf, and
handle refnames of any size.
- we called adjust_shared_perm only after the file was
renamed into place, creating a potential race with
readers in a shared repository. The lockfile code now
handles this when creating the lockfile, making it
atomic.
- the legacy prefer_symlink_refs path did not do any
locking at all. Admittedly, it is not atomic from a
reader's perspective (as it unlinks and re-creates the
symlink to overwrite), but at least it cannot conflict
with other writers now.
- the result of this patch is hopefully more readable. It
eliminates three goto labels. Two were for error checking
that is now simplified, and the third was to reach shared
code that has been pulled into its own function.

Once upon a time, create_symref() was used only to point
HEAD at a branch name, and the variable names reflect that
(e.g., calling the path git_HEAD). However, it is much more
generic these days (and has been for some time). Let's
update the variable names to make it easier to follow:
- `ref_target` is now just `refname`. This is closer to
the `ref` that is already in `cache.h`, but with the
extra twist that "name" makes it clear this is the name
and not a ref struct. Dropping "target" hopefully makes
it clear that we are talking about the symref itself,
not what it points to.
- `git_HEAD` is now `ref_path`; the on-disk path
corresponding to `ref`.
- `refs_heads_master` is now just `target`; i.e., what the
symref points at. This term also matches what is in
the symlink(2) manpage (at least on Linux).
- the buffer to hold the symref file's contents was simply
called `ref`. It's now `buf` (admittedly also generic,
but at least not actively introducing confusion with the
other variable holding the refname).
