Since it doesn't actually touch its argument, this makes
sense.
However, we still want to return a non-const version (which
requires a cast) so that this:
struct ref *a, *b;
a = find_ref_by_name(b);
works. Unfortunately, you can also silently strip the const
from a variable:
struct ref *a;
const struct ref *b;
a = find_ref_by_name(b);
This is a classic C const problem because there is no way to
say "return the type with the same constness that was passed
to us"; we provide the same semantics as standard library
functions like strchr.

If you prune from the remote "frotz" that deleted the ref your tracking
branch remotes/frotz/HEAD points at, the symbolic ref will become
dangling. We used to detect this as an error condition and issued a
message every time refs are enumerated.
This stops the error message, but moves the warning to "remote prune".

This can be used to scan only the last few kilobytes of a reflog, as a

found near the end of it. The caller is expected to fall back to the

Remove unnecessary pack-*.keep file after successful git-clone
make deleting a missing ref more quiet
When the user specifies a ref by a reflog entry older than
one we have (e.g., "HEAD@{20 years ago"}), we issue a
warning and give them the "from" value of the oldest reflog
entry. That is, we say "we don't know what happened before
this entry, but before this we know we had some particular
SHA1".
However, the oldest reflog entry is often a creation event
such as clone or branch creation. In this case, the entry
claims that the ref went from "00000..." (the null sha1) to
the new value, and the reflog lookup returns the null sha1.
While this is technically correct (the entry tells us that
the ref didn't exist at the specified time) it is not
terribly useful to the end user. What they probably want
instead is "the oldest useful sha1 that this ref ever had".
This patch changes the behavior such that if the oldest ref
would return the null sha1, it instead returns the first
value the ref ever had.
We never discovered this problem in the test scripts because
we created "fake" reflogs that had only a specified segment
of history. This patch updates the tests with a creation
event at the beginning of history.

If git attempts to delete a ref, but the unlink of the ref
file fails, we print a message to stderr. This is usually a
good thing, but if the error is ENOENT, then it indicates
that the ref has _already_ been deleted. And since that's
our goal, it doesn't make sense to complain to the user.
This harmonizes the error reporting behavior for the
unpacked and packed cases; the packed case already printed
nothing on ENOENT, but the unpacked printed unconditionally.
Additionally, send-pack would, when deleting the tracking
ref corresponding to a remote delete, print "Failed to
delete" on any failure. This can be a misleading
message, since we actually _did_ delete at the remote side,
but we failed to delete locally. Rather than make the
message more precise, let's just eliminate it entirely; the
delete_ref routine already takes care of printing out a much
more specific message about what went wrong.

Currently the only caller of peel_ref is show-ref, which is using
this function to show the peeled tag information if it is available
from an existing packed-refs file. The call happens during the
for_each_ref callback function, so we have the proper struct ref_list
already on the call stack but it is not easily available to return
the peeled information to the caller.
We now save the current struct ref_list item before calling back
into the callback function so that future calls to peel_ref from
within the callback function can quickly access the current ref.
Doing so will save us an lstat() per ref processed as we no longer
have to check the filesystem to see if the ref exists as a loose
file or is packed. This current ref caching also saves a linear
scan of the cached packed refs list.
As a micro-optimization we test the address of the passed ref name
against the current_ref->name before we go into the much more costly
strcmp(). Nearly any caller of peel_ref will be passing us the same
string do_for_each_ref passed them, which is current_ref->name.

This makes write_ref_sha1() more careful: it actually checks the SHA1 of
the ref it is updating, and refuses to update a ref with an object that it
cannot find.
Perhaps more importantly, it also refuses to update a branch head with a
non-commit object. I don't quite know *how* the stable series maintainers
were able to corrupt their repository to have a HEAD that pointed to a tag
rather than a commit object, but they did. Which results in a totally
broken repository that cannot be cloned or committed on.
So make it harder for people to shoot themselves in the foot like that.
The test t1400-update-ref.sh is fixed at the same time, as it
assumed that the commands involved in the particular test would
not care about corrupted repositories whose refs point at
nonexistant bogus objects. That assumption does not hold true
anymore.

Recent check_ref_format() returns -3 as well as -1 (general
error) and -2 (less than two levels). The caller was explicitly
checking for -1, to allow "HEAD" but still needed to disallow
bogus refs.
This introduces symbolic constants for the return values from
check_ref_format() to make them read better and more
meaningful. Normal ref creation codepath can still treat
non-zero return values as errors.

An earlier fix to the said commit was incomplete; it mixed up the
meaning of the flag parameter passed to the internal fmt_ident()
function, so this corrects it.
git_author_info() and git_committer_info() can be told to issue a
warning when no usable user information is found, and optionally can be
told to error out. Operations that actually use the information to
record a new commit or a tag will still error out, but the caller to
leave reflog record will just silently use bogus user information.
Not warning on misconfigured user information while writing a reflog
entry is somewhat debatable, but it is probably nicer to the users to
silently let it pass, because the only information you are losing is who
checked out the branch.
* git_author_info() and git_committer_info() used to take 1 (positive
int) to error out with a warning on misconfiguration; this is now
signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME.
* These functions used to take -1 (negative int) to warn but continue;
this is now signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_WARN_ON_NO_NAME.
* fmt_ident() function implements the above error reporting behaviour
common to git_author_info() and git_committer_info(). A symbolic
constant IDENT_NO_DATE can be or'ed in to the flag parameter to make
it return only the "Name <email@address.xz>".
* fmt_name() is a thin wrapper around fmt_ident() that always passes
IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME and IDENT_NO_DATE.

The old rules used by fetch were coded as a series of ifs. The old
rules are:
1) match full refname if it starts with "refs/" or matches "HEAD"
2) verify that full refname starts with "refs/"
3) match abbreviated name in "refs/" if it starts with "heads/",
"tags/", or "remotes/".
4) match abbreviated name in "refs/heads/"
This is replaced by the new rules
a) match full refname
b) match abbreviated name prefixed with "refs/"
c) match abbreviated name prefixed with "refs/heads/"
The details of the new rules are different from the old rules. We no
longer verify that the full refname starts with "refs/". The new rule
(a) matches any full string. The old rules (1) and (2) were stricter.
Now, the caller is responsible for using sensible full refnames. This
should be the case for the current code. The new rule (b) is less
strict than old rule (3). The new rule accepts abbreviated names that
start with a non-standard prefix below "refs/".
Despite this modifications the new rules should handle all cases as
expected. Two tests are added to verify that fetch does not resolve
short tags or HEAD in remotes.
We may even think about loosening the rules a bit more and unify them
with the rev-parse rules. This would be done by replacing
ref_ref_fetch_rules with ref_ref_parse_rules. Note, the two new test
would break.

We use at least two rulesets for matching abbreviated refnames with
full refnames (starting with 'refs/'). git-rev-parse and git-fetch
use slightly different rules.
This commit introduces a new function refname_match
(const char *abbrev_name, const char *full_name, const char **rules).
abbrev_name is expanded using the rules and matched against full_name.
If a match is found the function returns true. rules is a NULL-terminate
list of format patterns with "%.*s", for example:
const char *ref_rev_parse_rules[] = {
"%.*s",
"refs/%.*s",
"refs/tags/%.*s",
"refs/heads/%.*s",
"refs/remotes/%.*s",
"refs/remotes/%.*s/HEAD",
NULL
};
Asterisks are included in the format strings because this is the form
required in sha1_name.c. Sharing the list with the functions there is
a good idea to avoid duplicating the rules. Hopefully this
facilitates unified matching rules in the future.
This commit makes the rules used by rev-parse for resolving refs to
sha1s available for string comparison. Before this change, the rules
were buried in get_sha1*() and dwim_ref().
A follow-up commit will refactor the rules used by fetch.
refname_match() will be used for matching refspecs in git-send-pack.
Thanks to Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org> for pointing
out that ref_matches_abbrev in remote.c solves a similar problem
and care should be taken to avoid confusion.
