The interpret_branch_name() function converts names like
@{-1} and @{upstream} into branch names. The expanded ref
names are not fully qualified, and may be outside of the
refs/heads/ namespace (e.g., "@" expands to "HEAD", and
"@{upstream}" is likely to be in "refs/remotes/").
This is OK for callers like dwim_ref() which are primarily
interested in resolving the resulting name, no matter where
it is. But callers like "git branch" treat the result as a
branch name in refs/heads/. When we expand to a ref outside
that namespace, the results are very confusing (e.g., "git
branch @" tries to create refs/heads/HEAD, which is
nonsense).
Callers can't know from the returned string how the
expansion happened (e.g., did the user really ask for a
branch named "HEAD", or did we do a bogus expansion?). One
fix would be to return some out-parameters describing the
types of expansion that occurred. This has the benefit that
the caller can generate precise error messages ("I
understood @{upstream} to mean origin/master, but that is a
remote tracking branch, so you cannot create it as a local
name").
However, out-parameters make the function interface somewhat
cumbersome. Instead, let's do the opposite: let the caller
tell us which elements to expand. That's easier to pass in,
and none of the callers give more precise error messages
than "@{upstream} isn't a valid branch name" anyway (which
should be sufficient).
The strbuf_branchname() function needs a similar parameter,
as most of the callers access interpret_branch_name()
through it.
We can break the callers down into two groups:
1. Callers that are happy with any kind of ref in the
result. We pass "0" here, so they continue to work
without restrictions. This includes merge_name(),
the reflog handling in add_pending_object_with_path(),
and substitute_branch_name(). This last is what powers
dwim_ref().
2. Callers that have funny corner cases (mostly in
git-branch and git-checkout). These need to make use of
the new parameter, but I've left them as "0" in this
patch, and will address them individually in follow-on
patches.

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.

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).

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.

There are a number of constants, structs, and static functions defined
in refs.c and treated as private to the references module. But we want
to support multiple reference backends within the reference module,
and those backends will need access to some heretofore private
declarations.
We don't want those declarations to be visible to non-refs code, so we
don't want to move them to refs.h. Instead, add a new header file,
refs/refs-internal.h, that is intended to be included only from within
the refs module. Make some functions non-static and move some
declarations (and their corresponding docstrings) from refs.c to this
file.
In a moment we will add more content to the "refs" subdirectory.

When working with paths in strbufs, we frequently want to
ensure that a directory contains a trailing slash before
appending to it. We can shorten this code (and make the
intent more obvious) by calling strbuf_complete.
Most of these cases are trivially identical conversions, but
there are two things to note:
- in a few cases we did not check that the strbuf is
non-empty (which would lead to an out-of-bounds memory
access). These were generally not triggerable in
practice, either from earlier assertions, or typically
because we would have just fed the strbuf to opendir(),
which would choke on an empty path.
- in a few cases we indexed the buffer with "original_len"
or similar, rather than the current sb->len, and it is
not immediately obvious from the diff that they are the
same. In all of these cases, I manually verified that
the strbuf does not change between the assignment and
the strbuf_complete call.
This does not convert cases which look like:
if (sb->len && !is_dir_sep(sb->buf[sb->len - 1]))
strbuf_addch(sb, '/');
as those are obviously semantically different. Some of these
cases arguably should be doing that, but that is out of
scope for this change, which aims purely for cleanup with no
behavior change (and at least it will make such sites easier
to find and examine in the future, as we can grep for
strbuf_complete).

When we are allocating a struct with a FLEX_ARRAY member, we
generally compute the size of the array and then sprintf or
strcpy into it. Normally we could improve a dynamic allocation
like this by using xstrfmt, but it doesn't work here; we
have to account for the size of the rest of the struct.
But we can improve things a bit by storing the length that
we use for the allocation, and then feeding it to xsnprintf
or memcpy, which makes it more obvious that we are not
writing more than the allocated number of bytes.
It would be nice if we had some kind of helper for
allocating generic flex arrays, but it doesn't work that
well:
- the call signature is a little bit unwieldy:
d = flex_struct(sizeof(*d), offsetof(d, path), fmt, ...);
You need offsetof here instead of just writing to the
end of the base size, because we don't know how the
struct is packed (partially this is because FLEX_ARRAY
might not be zero, though we can account for that; but
the size of the struct may actually be rounded up for
alignment, and we can't know that).
- some sites do clever things, like over-allocating because
they know they will write larger things into the buffer
later (e.g., struct packed_git here).
So we're better off to just write out each allocation (or
add type-specific helpers, though many of these are one-off
allocations anyway).

resolve_ref already uses a strbuf internally when generating
pathnames, but it uses fixed-size buffers for storing the
refname and symbolic refs. This means that you cannot
actually point HEAD to a ref that is larger than 256 bytes.
We can lift this limit by using strbufs here, too. Like
sb_path, we pass the the buffers into our helper function,
so that we can easily clean up all output paths. We can also
drop the "unsafe" name from our helper function, as it no
longer uses a single static buffer (but of course
resolve_ref_unsafe is still unsafe, because the static
buffers moved there).
As a bonus, we also get to drop some strcpy calls between
the two fixed buffers (that cannot currently overflow
because the two buffers are sized identically).

We sometimes sprintf into fixed-size buffers when we know
that the buffer is large enough to fit the input (either
because it's a constant, or because it's numeric input that
is bounded in size). Likewise with strcpy of constant
strings.
However, these sites make it hard to audit sprintf and
strcpy calls for buffer overflows, as a reader has to
cross-reference the size of the array with the input. Let's
use xsnprintf instead, which communicates to a reader that
we don't expect this to overflow (and catches the mistake in
case we do).

The first thing we do in this function is copy the input
into a strbuf. Of the 4 callers, 3 of them already have a
strbuf we could use. Let's just take the strbuf, and convert
the remaining caller to use a strbuf, rather than a raw
git_path. This is safer, anyway, as remove_dir_recursively
is a non-trivial function that might use the pathname
buffers itself (this is _probably_ OK, as the likely culprit
would be calling resolve_gitlink_ref, but we do not pass the
proper flags to ask it to avoid blowing away gitlinks).

Commit 1a83c24 (git_snpath(): retire and replace with
strbuf_git_path(), 2014-11-30) taught log_ref_setup and
log_ref_write_1 to take a strbuf parameter, rather than a
bare string. It then makes an alias to the strbuf's "buf"
field under the original name.
This made the original diff much shorter, but the resulting
code is more complicated that it needs to be. Since we've
aliased the pointer, we drop our reference to the strbuf to
ensure we don't accidentally change it. But if we simply
drop our alias and use "logfile.buf" directly, we do not
have to worry about this aliasing. It's a larger diff, but
the resulting code is simpler.

In iterating over the loose refs in "refs/foo/", we keep a
running strbuf with "refs/foo/one", "refs/foo/two", etc. But
we also need to access these files in the filesystem, as
".git/refs/foo/one", etc. For this latter purpose, we make a
series of independent calls to git_path(). These are safe
(we only use the result to call stat()), but assigning the
result of git_path is a suspicious pattern that we'd rather
avoid.
This patch keeps a running buffer with ".git/refs/foo/", and
we can just append/reset each directory element as we loop.
This matches how we handle the refnames. It should also be
more efficient, as we do not keep formatting the same
".git/refs/foo" prefix (which can be arbitrarily deep).
Technically we are dropping a call to strbuf_cleanup() on
each generated filename, but that's OK; it wasn't doing
anything, as we are putting in single-level names we read
from the filesystem (so it could not possibly be cleaning up
cruft like "./" in this instance).
A clever reader may also note that the running refname
buffer ("refs/foo/") is actually a subset of the filesystem
path buffer (".git/refs/foo/"). We could get by with one
buffer, indexing the length of $GIT_DIR when we want the
refname. However, having tried this, the resulting code
actually ends up a little more confusing, and the efficiency
improvement is tiny (and almost certainly dwarfed by the
system calls we are making).

As with the previous commit to git_path, assigning the
result of mkpath is suspicious, since it is not clear
whether we will still depend on the value after it may have
been overwritten by subsequent calls. This patch converts
low-hanging fruit to use mkpathdup instead of mkpath (with
the downside that we must remember to free the result).

Because git_path uses a static buffer that is shared with
calls to git_path, mkpath, etc, it can be dangerous to
assign the result to a variable or pass it to a non-trivial
function. The value may change unexpectedly due to other
calls.
None of the cases changed here has a known bug, but they're
worth converting away from git_path because:
1. It's easy to use git_pathdup in these cases.
2. They use constructs (like assignment) that make it
hard to tell whether they're safe or not.
The extra malloc overhead should be trivial, as an
allocation should be an order of magnitude cheaper than a
system call (which we are clearly about to make, since we
are constructing a filename). The real cost is that we must
remember to free the result.

If you hide a hierarchy of refs using the transfer.hideRefs
config, there is no way to later override that config to
"unhide" it. This patch implements a "negative" hide which
causes matches to immediately be marked as unhidden, even if
another match would hide it. We take care to apply the
matches in reverse-order from how they are fed to us by the
config machinery, as that lets our usual "last one wins"
config precedence work (and entries in .git/config, for
example, will override /etc/gitconfig).
So you can now do:
$ git config --system transfer.hideRefs refs/secret
$ git config transfer.hideRefs '!refs/secret/not-so-secret'
to hide refs/secret in all repos, except for one public bit
in one specific repo. Or you can even do:
$ git clone \
-u "git -c transfer.hiderefs="!refs/foo" upload-pack" \
remote:repo.git
to clone remote:repo.git, overriding any hiding it has
configured.
There are two alternatives that were considered and
rejected:
1. A generic config mechanism for removing an item from a
list. E.g.: (e.g., "[transfer] hideRefs -= refs/foo").
This is nice because it could apply to other
multi-valued config, as well. But it is not nearly as
flexible. There is no way to say:
[transfer]
hideRefs = refs/secret
hideRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret
Having explicit negative specifications means we can
override previous entries, even if they are not the
same literal string.
2. Adding another variable to override some parts of
hideRefs (e.g., "exposeRefs").
This solves the problem from alternative (1), but it
cannot easily obey the normal config precedence,
because it would use two separate lists. For example:
[transfer]
hideRefs = refs/secret
exposeRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret
hideRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret/no-really-its-secret
With two lists, we have to apply the "expose" rules
first, and only then apply the "hide" rules. But that
does not match what the above config intends.
Of course we could internally parse that to a single
list, respecting the ordering, which saves us having to
invent the new "!" syntax. But using a single name
communicates to the user that the ordering _is_
important. And "!" is well-known for negation, and
should not appear at the beginning of a ref (it is
actually valid in a ref-name, but all entries here
should be fully-qualified, starting with "refs/").

only when REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN is set in the flags, and drop the

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.

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

In preparation for adding date modes that may carry extra
information beyond the mode itself, this patch converts the
date_mode enum into a struct.
Most of the conversion is fairly straightforward; we pass
the struct as a pointer and dereference the type field where
necessary. Locations that declare a date_mode can use a "{}"
constructor. However, the tricky case is where we use the
enum labels as constants, like:
show_date(t, tz, DATE_NORMAL);
Ideally we could say:
show_date(t, tz, &{ DATE_NORMAL });
but of course C does not allow that. Likewise, we cannot
cast the constant to a struct, because we need to pass an
actual address. Our options are basically:
1. Manually add a "struct date_mode d = { DATE_NORMAL }"
definition to each caller, and pass "&d". This makes
the callers uglier, because they sometimes do not even
have their own scope (e.g., they are inside a switch
statement).
2. Provide a pre-made global "date_normal" struct that can
be passed by address. We'd also need "date_rfc2822",
"date_iso8601", and so forth. But at least the ugliness
is defined in one place.
3. Provide a wrapper that generates the correct struct on
the fly. The big downside is that we end up pointing to
a single global, which makes our wrapper non-reentrant.
But show_date is already not reentrant, so it does not
matter.
This patch implements 3, along with a minor macro to keep
the size of the callers sane.

t6301: new tests of for-each-ref error handling
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.

"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.

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,

The refs API uses ref_lock struct which had its own "int fd", even
though the same file descriptor was in the lock struct it contains.
Clean-up the code to lose this redundant field.
* sb/ref-lock-lose-lock-fd:
refs.c: remove lock_fd from struct ref_lock
Currently, there is only one attempt to acquire any lockfile, and if
the lock is held by another process, the locking attempt fails
immediately.
This is not such a limitation for loose reference files. First, they
don't take long to rewrite. Second, most reference updates have a
known "old" value, so if another process is updating a reference at
the same moment that we are trying to lock it, then probably the
expected "old" value will not longer be valid, and the update will
fail anyway.
But these arguments do not hold for packed-refs:
* The packed-refs file can be large and take significant time to
rewrite.
* Many references are stored in a single packed-refs file, so it could
be that the other process was changing a different reference than
the one that we are interested in.
Therefore, it is much more likely for there to be spurious lock
conflicts in connection to the packed-refs file, resulting in
unnecessary command failures.
So, if the first attempt to lock the packed-refs file fails, continue
retrying for a configurable length of time before giving up. The
default timeout is 1 second.

The old code was roughly
for update in updates:
acquire locks and check old_sha
for update in updates:
if changing value:
write_ref_to_lockfile()
commit_ref_update()
for update in updates:
if deleting value:
unlink()
rewrite packed-refs file
for update in updates:
if reference still locked:
unlock_ref()
This has two problems.
Non-atomic updates
==================
The atomicity of the reference transaction depends on all pre-checks
being done in the first loop, before any changes have started being
committed in the second loop. The problem is that
write_ref_to_lockfile() (previously part of write_ref_sha1()), which
is called from the second loop, contains two more checks:
* It verifies that new_sha1 is a valid object
* If the reference being updated is a branch, it verifies that
new_sha1 points at a commit object (as opposed to a tag, tree, or
blob).
If either of these checks fails, the "transaction" is aborted during
the second loop. But this might happen after some reference updates
have already been permanently committed. In other words, the
all-or-nothing promise of "git update-ref --stdin" could be violated.
So these checks have to be moved to the first loop.
File descriptor exhaustion
==========================
The old code locked all of the references in the first loop, leaving
all of the lockfiles open until later loops. Since we might be
updating a lot of references, this could result in file descriptor
exhaustion.
The solution
============
After this patch, the code looks like
for update in updates:
acquire locks and check old_sha
if changing value:
write_ref_to_lockfile()
else:
close_ref()
for update in updates:
if changing value:
commit_ref_update()
for update in updates:
if deleting value:
unlink()
rewrite packed-refs file
for update in updates:
if reference still locked:
unlock_ref()
This fixes both problems:
1. The pre-checks in write_ref_to_lockfile() are now done in the first
loop, before any changes have been committed. If any of the checks
fails, the whole transaction can now be rolled back correctly.
2. All lockfiles are closed in the first loop immediately after they
are created (either by write_ref_to_lockfile() or by close_ref()).
This means that there is never more than one open lockfile at a
time, preventing file descriptor exhaustion.
To simplify the bookkeeping across loops, add a new REF_NEEDS_COMMIT
bit to update->flags, which keeps track of whether the corresponding
lockfile needs to be committed, as opposed to just unlocked. (Since
"struct ref_update" is internal to the refs module, this change is not
visible to external callers.)
This change fixes two tests in t1400.
