Originally update-pre-post-images could assume that any whitespace
fixing will make the result only shorter by unexpanding runs of
leading SPs into HTs and removing trailing whitespaces at the end of
lines. Updating the post-image we read from the patch to match the
actual result can be performed in-place under this assumption.
These days, however, we have tab-in-indent (aka Python) rule whose
result can be longer than the original, and we do need to allocate
a larger buffer than the input and replace the result.
Fortunately the support for lengthening rewrite was already added
when we began supporting "match while ignoring whitespace
differences" mode in 86c91f9179 (git apply: option to ignore
whitespace differences, 2009-08-04). We only need to correctly
count the number of bytes necessary to hold the updated result and
tell the function to allocate a new buffer.

Commit 38a4556 (index-pack: start learning to emulate
"verify-pack -v", 2011-06-03) added a "delta_depth" counter
to each "struct object_entry". Initially, all object entries
have their depth set to 0; in resolve_delta, we then set the
depth of each delta to "base + 1". Base entries never have
their depth touched, and remain at 0.
To ensure that all depths start at 0, that commit changed
calls to xmalloc the object_entry list into calls to
xcalloc. However, it forgot that we grow the list with
xrealloc later. These extra entries are used when we add an
object from elsewhere to complete a thin pack. If we add a
non-delta object, its depth value will just be uninitialized
heap data.
This patch fixes it by zero-initializing entries we add to
the objects list via the xrealloc.

The threaded parts of index-pack increment the number of resolved
deltas in nr_resolved_deltas guarded by counter_mutex. However, the
per-thread outer loop accessed nr_resolved_deltas without any locks.
This is not wrong as such, since it doesn't matter all that much
whether we get an outdated value. However, unless someone proves that
this one lock makes all the performance difference, it would be much
cleaner to guard _all_ accesses to the variable with the lock.
The only such use is display_progress() in the threaded section (all
others are in the conclude_pack() callchain outside the threaded
part). To make it obvious that it cannot deadlock, move it out of

When fast-export wants to export a blob object, it first
calls parse_object to get a "struct object" and check
whether we have already shown the object. If we haven't
shown it, we then use read_sha1_file to pull it from disk
and write it out.
That means we load each blob from disk twice: once for
parse_object to find its type and check its sha1, and a
second time when we actually output it. We can drop this to
a single load by using lookup_object to check the SHOWN
flag, and then checking the signature on and outputting a
single buffer.
This provides modest speedups on git.git (best-of-five, "git

A maildir does not technically record the order in which
items were placed into it. That means that when applying a
patch series from a maildir, we may get the patches in the
wrong order. We try to work around this by sorting the
filenames. Unfortunately, this may or may not work depending
on the naming scheme used by the writer of the maildir.
For instance, mutt will write:
${epoch_seconds}.${pid}_${seq}.${host}
where we have:
- epoch_seconds: timestamp at which entry was written
- pid: PID of writing process
- seq: a sequence number to ensure uniqueness of filenames
- host: hostname
None of the numbers are zero-padded. Therefore, when we sort
the names as byte strings, entries that cross a digit
boundary (e.g., 10) will sort out of order. In the case of
timestamps, it almost never matters (because we do not cross
a digit boundary in the epoch time very often these days).
But for the sequence number, a 10-patch series would be
ordered as 1, 10, 2, 3, etc.
To fix this, we can use a custom sort comparison function
which traverses each string, comparing chunks of digits
numerically, and otherwise doing a byte-for-byte comparison.
That would sort:
123.456_1.bar
123.456_2.bar
...
123.456_10.bar
according to the sequence number. Since maildir does not
define a filename format, this is really just a heuristic.
But it happens to work for mutt, and there is a reasonable
chance that it will work for other writers, too (at least as
well as a straight sort).

Most of the callers of packet_read_line just read into a
static 1000-byte buffer (callers which handle arbitrary
binary data already use LARGE_PACKET_MAX). This works fine
in practice, because:
1. The only variable-sized data in these lines is a ref
name, and refs tend to be a lot shorter than 1000
characters.
2. When sending ref lines, git-core always limits itself
to 1000 byte packets.
However, the only limit given in the protocol specification
in Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt is
LARGE_PACKET_MAX; the 1000 byte limit is mentioned only in
pack-protocol.txt, and then only describing what we write,
not as a specific limit for readers.
This patch lets us bump the 1000-byte limit to
LARGE_PACKET_MAX. Even though git-core will never write a
packet where this makes a difference, there are two good
reasons to do this:
1. Other git implementations may have followed
protocol-common.txt and used a larger maximum size. We
don't bump into it in practice because it would involve
very long ref names.
2. We may want to increase the 1000-byte limit one day.
Since packets are transferred before any capabilities,
it's difficult to do this in a backwards-compatible
way. But if we bump the size of buffer the readers can
handle, eventually older versions of git will be
obsolete enough that we can justify bumping the
writers, as well. We don't have plans to do this
anytime soon, but there is no reason not to start the
clock ticking now.
Just bumping all of the reading bufs to LARGE_PACKET_MAX
would waste memory. Instead, since most readers just read
into a temporary buffer anyway, let's provide a single
static buffer that all callers can use. We can further wrap
this detail away by having the packet_read_line wrapper just
use the buffer transparently and return a pointer to the
static storage. That covers most of the cases, and the
remaining ones already read into their own LARGE_PACKET_MAX
buffers.

The packets sent during ref negotiation are all terminated
by newline; even though the code to chomp these newlines is
short, we end up doing it in a lot of places.
This patch teaches packet_read_line to auto-chomp the
trailing newline; this lets us get rid of a lot of inline
chomping code.
As a result, some call-sites which are not reading
line-oriented data (e.g., when reading chunks of packfiles
alongside sideband) transition away from packet_read_line to
the generic packet_read interface. This patch converts all
of the existing callsites.
Since the function signature of packet_read_line does not
change (but its behavior does), there is a possibility of
new callsites being introduced in later commits, silently
introducing an incompatibility. However, since a later
patch in this series will change the signature, such a
commit would have to be merged directly into this commit,
not to the tip of the series; we can therefore ignore the
issue.
This is an internal cleanup and should produce no change of
behavior in the normal case. However, there is one corner
case to note. Callers of packet_read_line have never been
able to tell the difference between a flush packet ("0000")
and an empty packet ("0004"), as both cause packet_read_line
to return a length of 0. Readers treat them identically,
even though Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt says
we must not; it also says that implementations should not
send an empty pkt-line.
By stripping out the newline before the result gets to the
caller, we will now treat the newline-only packet ("0005\n")
the same as an empty packet, which in turn gets treated like
a flush packet. In practice this doesn't matter, as neither
empty nor newline-only packets are part of git's protocols
(at least not for the line-oriented bits, and readers who
are not expecting line-oriented packets will be calling
packet_read directly, anyway). But even if we do decide to
care about the distinction later, it is orthogonal to this
patch. The right place to tighten would be to stop treating
empty packets as flush packets, and this change does not
make doing so any harder.

The current parsing scheme for upload-archive is to pack
arguments into a fixed-size buffer, separated by NULs, and
put a pointer to each argument in the buffer into a
fixed-size argv array.
This works fine, and the limits are high enough that nobody
reasonable is going to hit them, but it makes the code hard
to follow. Instead, let's just stuff the arguments into an
argv_array, which is much simpler. That lifts the "all
arguments must fit inside 4K together" limit.
We could also trivially lift the MAX_ARGS limitation (in
fact, we have to keep extra code to enforce it). But that
would mean a client could force us to allocate an arbitrary
amount of memory simply by sending us "argument" lines. By
limiting the MAX_ARGS, we limit an attacker to about 4
megabytes (64 times a maximum 64K packet buffer). That may
sound like a lot compared to the 4K limit, but it's not a
big deal compared to what git-archive will actually allocate
while working (e.g., to load blobs into memory). The
important thing is that it is bounded.

Usually we do not pass an empty string to the function hash_name()
because we almost always ask for hash values for a path that is a
candidate to be added to the index. However, check-ignore (and most
likely check-attr, but I didn't check) apparently has a callchain
to ask the hash value for an empty path when it was given a "." from

Make sure that hash_name() does not overrun the end of the given
pathname even when it is empty.
Remove a sweep-the-issue-under-the-rug conditional in check-ignore

It is a valid question to ask for check-ignore if the top-level is
set to be ignored by default, even though the answer is most likely
no, if only because there is currently no way to specify such an
entry in the .gitignore file. But it is an unusual thing to ask and

A repository may have refs that are only used for its internal

Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value of these
variable is excluded from responses to requests made by "ls-remote",

Because these hidden refs do not count as OUR_REF, an attempt to
fetch objects at the tip of them will be rejected, and because these
refs do not get advertised, "git push :" will not see local branches
that have the same name as them as "matching" ones to be sent.
An attempt to update/delete these hidden refs with an explicit
refspec, e.g. "git push origin :refs/hidden/22", is rejected. This
is not a new restriction. To the pusher, it would appear that there
is no such ref, so its push request will conclude with "Now that I
sent you all the data, it is time for you to update the refs. I saw
that the ref did not exist when I started pushing, and I want the
result to point at this commit". The receiving end will apply the
compare-and-swap rule to this request and rejects the push with
"Well, your update request conflicts with somebody else; I see there
is such a ref.", which is the right thing to do. Otherwise a push to
a hidden ref will always be "the last one wins", which is not a good
default.

"git am -3" uses this function to build a tree that records how the
preimage the patch was created from would have looked like. An
abbreviated object name on the index line is ordinarily sufficient
for us to figure out the object name the preimage tree would have
contained, but a change to a submodule by definition shows an object
name of a submodule commit which our repository should not have, and
get_sha1_blob() is not an appropriate way to read it (or get_sha1()
for that matter).
Use get_sha1_hex() and complain if we do not find a full object name
there.
We could read from the payload part of the patch to learn the full
object name of the commit, but the primary user "git rebase" has
been fixed to give us a full object name, so this should suffice
for now.

Currently, a branch filter like `--contains`, `--merged`, or
`--no-merged` is ignored when we are not in listing mode.
For example:
git branch --contains=foo bar
will create the branch "bar" from the current HEAD, ignoring
the `--contains` argument entirely. This is not very
helpful. There are two reasonable behaviors for git here:
1. Flag an error; the arguments do not make sense.
2. Implicitly go into `--list` mode
This patch chooses the latter, as it is more convenient, and
there should not be any ambiguity with attempting to create
a branch; using `--contains` and not wanting to list is
nonsensical.
That leaves the case where an explicit modification option
like `-d` is given. We already catch the case where
`--list` is given alongside `-d` and flag an error. With
this patch, we will also catch the use of `--contains` and
other filter options alongside `-d`.

Most Git commands that can be used with or without pathspec operate
tree-wide by default, the pathspec being used to restrict their
scope. A few exceptions are: 'git grep', 'git clean', 'git add -u'
and 'git add -A'. When run in a subdirectory without pathspec, they
operate only on paths in the current directory.
The inconsistency of 'git add -u' and 'git add -A' is particularly
problematic since other 'git add' subcommands (namely 'git add -p'
and 'git add -e') are tree-wide by default. It also means that "git
add -u && git commit" will record a state that is different from
what is recorded with "git commit -a".
Flipping the default now is unacceptable, so let's start training
users to type 'git add -u|-A :/' or 'git add -u|-A .' explicitly, to
prepare for the next steps:
* forbid 'git add -u|-A' without pathspec (like 'git add' without
option)
* much later, maybe, re-allow 'git add -u|-A' without pathspec, that
will add all tracked and modified files, or all files, tree-wide.
A nice side effect of this patch is that it makes the :/ magic
pathspec easier to discover for users.
When the command is called from the root of the tree, there is no
ambiguity and no need to change the behavior, hence no need to warn.

When we look up a sha1 object for reading via parse_object() =>
read_sha1_file() => read_object() callpath, we first check
packfiles, and then loose objects. If we still haven't found it, we
re-scan the list of packfiles in `objects/pack`. This final step
ensures that we can co-exist with a simultaneous repack process
which creates a new pack and then prunes the old object.
This extra re-scan usually does not have a performance impact for
two reasons:
1. If an object is missing, then typically the re-scan will find a
new pack, then no more misses will occur. Or if it truly is
missing, then our next step is usually to die().
2. Re-scanning is cheap enough that we do not even notice.
However, these do not always hold. The assumption in (1) is that the
caller is expecting to find the object. This is usually the case,
but the call to `parse_object` in `everything_local` does not follow
this pattern. It is looking to see whether we have objects that the
remote side is advertising, not something we expect to
have. Therefore if we are fetching from a remote which has many refs
pointing to objects we do not have, we may end up re-scanning the
pack directory many times.
Even with this extra re-scanning, the impact is often not noticeable
due to (2); we just readdir() the packs directory and skip any packs
that are already loaded. However, if there are a large number of
packs, even enumerating the directory can be expensive, especially
if we do it repeatedly.
Having this many packs is a good sign the user should run `git gc`,
but it would still be nice to avoid having to scan the directory at
all.

We generally try to run "gc --auto" after any commands that
might introduce a large number of new objects. An obvious
place to do so is after running "fetch", which may introduce
new loose objects or packs (depending on the size of the
fetch).
While an active developer repository will probably
eventually trigger a "gc --auto" on another action (e.g.,
git-rebase), there are two good reasons why it is nicer to
do it at fetch time:
1. Read-only repositories which track an upstream (e.g., a
continuous integration server which fetches and builds,
but never makes new commits) will accrue loose objects
and small packs, but never coalesce them into a more
efficient larger pack.
2. Fetching is often already perceived to be slow to the
user, since they have to wait on the network. It's much
more pleasant to include a potentially slow auto-gc as
part of the already-long network fetch than in the
middle of productive work with git-rebase or similar.

Usually a commit that makes it to logmsg_reencode will have
been parsed, and the commit->buffer struct member will be
valid. However, some code paths will free commit buffers
after having used them (for example, the log traversal
machinery will do so to keep memory usage down).
Most of the time this is fine; log should only show a commit
once, and then exits. However, there are some code paths
where this does not work. At least two are known:
1. A commit may be shown as part of a regular ref, and
then it may be shown again as part of a submodule diff
(e.g., if a repo contains refs to both the superproject
and subproject).
2. A notes-cache commit may be shown during "log --all",
and then later used to access a textconv cache during a
diff.
Lazily loading in logmsg_reencode does not necessarily catch
all such cases, but it should catch most of them. Users of
the commit buffer tend to be either parsing for structure
(in which they will call parse_commit, and either we will
already have parsed, or we will load commit->buffer lazily
there), or outputting (either to the user, or fetching a
part of the commit message via format_commit_message). In
the latter case, we should always be using logmsg_reencode
anyway (and typically we do so via the pretty-print
machinery).
If there are any cases that this misses, we can fix them up
to use logmsg_reencode (or handle them on a case-by-case
basis if that is inappropriate).

The logmsg_reencode function will return the reencoded
commit buffer, or NULL if reencoding failed or no reencoding
was necessary. Since every caller then ends up checking for NULL
and just using the commit's original buffer, anyway, we can
be a bit more helpful and just return that buffer when we
would have returned NULL.
Since the resulting string may or may not need to be freed,
we introduce a logmsg_free, which checks whether the buffer
came from the commit object or not (callers either
implemented the same check already, or kept two separate
pointers, one to mark the buffer to be used, and one for the
to-be-freed string).
Pushing this logic into logmsg_* simplifies the callers, and
will let future patches lazily load the commit buffer in a
single place.

When git-commit is asked to reuse a commit message via "-c",
we call read_commit_message, which looks up the commit and
hands back either the re-encoded result, or a copy of the
original. We make a copy in the latter case so that the
ownership semantics of the return value are clear (in either
case, it can be freed).
However, since we return a "const char *", and since the
resulting buffer's lifetime is the same as that of the whole
program, we never bother to free it at all.
Let's just drop the copy. That saves us a copy in the common
case. While it does mean we leak in the re-encode case, it
doesn't matter, since we are relying on program exit to free
the memory anyway.

Now that "already exists" errors are given only when a push tries to

When we push to update an existing ref, if:
* the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or
* the object we are pushing is not a commit,
it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again,
as the old and new objects will not "merge". We should explain that
the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is
involved in such a case.
If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do
not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be
merged. In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like
non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in
practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work
to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to
update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work
as a suggestion most of the time. And if the object at the tip is
not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent
damage. As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user
will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now
the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved.
In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the
client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the
ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from
there and integrate before pushing again.
Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages
appropriately.
