78a766ab6e hideRefs: add support for matching full refs
In addition to matching stripped refs, one can now add hideRefs
patterns that the full (unstripped) ref is matched against. To
distinguish between stripped and full matches, those new patterns
must be prefixed with a circumflex (^).

This commit also removes support for the undocumented and unintended
hideRefs settings ".have" (suppressing all "have" lines) and
"capabilities^{}" (suppressing the capabilities line).

5b4f28510f ref-filter: add option to filter out tags, branches and remotes
Add a function called 'for_each_fullref_in()' to refs.{c,h} which
iterates through each ref for the given path without trimming the path
and also accounting for broken refs, if mentioned.

Add 'filter_ref_kind()' in ref-filter.c to check the kind of ref being
handled and return the kind to 'ref_filter_handler()', where we
discard refs which we do not need and assign the kind to needed refs.

Add a function ref_type, which categorizes refs as per-worktree,

cd377f45c9 refs: loosen restriction on wildcard "*" refspecs
Loosen restrictions on refspecs by allowing patterns that have a "*"
within a component instead of only as the whole component.

Remove the logic to accept a single "*" as a whole component from
check_refname_format(), and implement an extended form of that logic
in check_refname_component().  Pass the pointer to the flags argument
to the latter, as it has to clear REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN bit when
it sees "*".

Teach check_refname_component() function to allow an asterisk "*"
only when REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN is set in the flags, and drop the
bit after seeing a "*", to ensure that one side of a refspec
contains at most one asterisk.

This will allow us to accept refspecs such as `for/bar*:foo/baz*`.
Any refspec which functioned before shall continue functioning with
the new logic.

abd0cd3a30 refs: new public ref function: safe_create_reflog
The safe_create_reflog function creates a reflog, if it does not
already exist.

The log_ref_setup function becomes private and gains a force_create
parameter to force the creation of a reflog even if log_all_ref_updates
is false or the refname is not one of the special refnames.

The new parameter also reduces the need to store, modify, and restore
the log_all_ref_updates global before reflog creation.

In a moment, we will use this to add reflog creation commands to
git-reflog.

a4c653dfcd refs.c: add err arguments to reflog functions
Add an err argument to log_ref_setup that can explain the reason
for a failure. This then eliminates the need to manage errno through
this function since we can just add strerror(errno) to the err string
when meaningful. No callers relied on errno from this function for
anything else than the error message.

Also add err arguments to private functions write_ref_to_lockfile,
log_ref_write_1, commit_ref_update. This again eliminates the need to
manage errno in these functions.

Some error messages are slightly reordered.

1c03c4d347 delete_ref(): use the usual convention for old_sha1
The ref_transaction_update() family of functions use the following
convention for their old_sha1 parameters:

* old_sha1 == NULL: Don't check the old value at all.
* is_null_sha1(old_sha1): Ensure that the reference didn't exist
  before the transaction.
* otherwise: Ensure that the reference had the specified value before
  the transaction.

delete_ref() had a different convention, namely treating
is_null_sha1(old_sha1) as "don't care". Change it to adhere to the
standard convention to reduce the scope for confusion.

Please note that it is now a bug to pass old_sha1=NULL_SHA1 to
delete_ref() (because it doesn't make sense to delete a reference that
you already know doesn't exist). This is consistent with the behavior
of ref_transaction_delete().

Most of the callers of delete_ref() never pass old_sha1=NULL_SHA1 to
delete_ref(), and are therefore unaffected by this change. The
two exceptions are:

* The call in cmd_update_ref(), which passed NULL_SHA1 if the old
  value passed in on the command line was 0{40} or the empty string.
  Change that caller to pass NULL in those cases.

  Arguably, it should be an error to call "update-ref -d" with the old
  value set to "does not exist", just as it is for the `--stdin`
  command "delete". But since this usage was accepted until now,
  continue to accept it.

* The call in delete_branches(), which could pass NULL_SHA1 if
  deleting a broken or symbolic ref. Change it to pass NULL in these
  cases.

58f233ce1e initial_ref_transaction_commit(): function for initial ref creation
"git clone" uses shortcuts when creating the initial set of
references:

* It writes them directly to packed-refs.

* It doesn't lock the individual references (though it does lock the
  packed-refs file).

* It doesn't check for refname conflicts between two new references or
  between one new reference and any hypothetical old ones.

* It doesn't create reflog entries for the reference creations.

This functionality was implemented in builtin/clone.c. But really that
file shouldn't have such intimate knowledge of how references are
stored. So provide a new function in the refs API,
initial_ref_transaction_commit(), which can be used for initial
reference creation. The new function is based on the ref_transaction
interface.

This means that we can make some other functions private to the refs
module. That will be done in a followup commit.

It would seem to make sense to add a test here that there are no
existing references, because that is how the function *should* be
used. But in fact, the "testgit" remote helper appears to call it
*after* having set up refs/remotes/<name>/HEAD and
refs/remotes/<name>/master, so we can't be so strict. For now, the
function trusts its caller to only call it when it makes sense. Future
commits will add some more limited sanity checks.

2b2a5be394 each_ref_fn: change to take an object_id parameter
Change typedef each_ref_fn to take a "const struct object_id *oid"
parameter instead of "const unsigned char *sha1".

To aid this transition, implement an adapter that can be used to wrap
old-style functions matching the old typedef, which is now called
"each_ref_sha1_fn"), and make such functions callable via the new
interface. This requires the old function and its cb_data to be
wrapped in a "struct each_ref_fn_sha1_adapter", and that object to be
used as the cb_data for an adapter function, each_ref_fn_adapter().

This is an enormous diff, but most of it consists of simple,
mechanical changes to the sites that call any of the "for_each_ref"
family of functions. Subsequent to this change, the call sites can be
rewritten one by one to use the new interface.

1a83c240f2 git_snpath(): retire and replace with strbuf_git_path()
In the previous patch, git_snpath() is modified to allocate a new
strbuf buffer because vsnpath() needs that. But that makes it
awkward because git_snpath() receives a pre-allocated buffer from
outside and has to copy data back. Rename it to strbuf_git_path()
and make it receive strbuf directly.

Using git_path() in update_refs_for_switch() which used to call
git_snpath() is safe because that function and all of its callers do
not keep any pointer to the round-robin buffer pool allocated by
get_pathname().

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_]*).

f3cc52d840 packed-ref cache: forbid dot-components in refnames
Since v1.7.9-rc1~10^2 (write_head_info(): handle "extra refs" locally,
2012-01-06), this trick to keep track of ".have" refs that are only
valid on the wire and not on the filesystem is not needed any more.

Simplify by removing support for the REFNAME_DOT_COMPONENT flag.

This means we'll be slightly stricter with invalid refs found in a
packed-refs file or during clone.  read_loose_refs() already checks
for and skips refnames with .components so it is not affected.

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.

28e6a97e39 refs.c: ref_transaction_commit: distinguish name conflicts from other errors
In _commit, ENOTDIR can happen in the call to lock_ref_sha1_basic, either
when we lstat the new refname or if the name checking function reports that
the same type of conflict happened.  In both cases, it means that we can not
create the new ref due to a name conflict.

Start defining specific return codes for _commit.  TRANSACTION_NAME_CONFLICT
refers to a failure to create a ref due to a name conflict with another ref.
TRANSACTION_GENERIC_ERROR is for all other errors.

When "git fetch" is creating refs, name conflicts differ from other errors in
that they are likely to be resolved by running "git remote prune <remote>".
"git fetch" currently inspects errno to decide whether to give that advice.
Once it switches to the transaction API, it can check for
TRANSACTION_NAME_CONFLICT instead.

db7516ab9f refs.c: pass the ref log message to _create/delete/update instead of _commit
Change the ref transaction API so that we pass the reflog message to the
create/delete/update functions instead of to ref_transaction_commit.
This allows different reflog messages for each ref update in a multi-ref
transaction.

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.

93a644ea9d refs.c: make ref_transaction_begin take an err argument
Add an err argument to _begin so that on non-fatal failures in future ref
backends we can report a nice error back to the caller.
While _begin can currently never fail for other reasons than OOM, in which
case we die() anyway, we may add other types of backends in the future.
For example, a hypothetical MySQL backend could fail in _begin with
"Can not connect to MySQL server. No route to host".
