If the server supports allow_tip_sha1_in_want, then
fetch-pack's filter_refs function tries to check whether a
ref is a request for a straight sha1 by running:
if (get_sha1_hex(ref->name, ref->old_sha1))
...
I.e., we are using get_sha1_hex to ask "is this ref name a
sha1?". If it is true, then the contents of ref->old_sha1
will end up unchanged. But if it is false, then get_sha1_hex
makes no guarantees about what it has written. With a ref
name like "abcdefoo", we would overwrite 3 bytes of
ref->old_sha1 before realizing that it was not a sha1.
This is likely not a problem in practice, as anything in
refs->name (besides a sha1) will start with "refs/", meaning
that we would notice on the first character that there is a
problem. Still, we are making assumptions about the state
left in the output when get_sha1_hex returns an error (e.g.,
it could start from the end of the string, or error check
the values only once they were placed in the output). It's
better to be defensive.
We could just check that we have exactly 40 characters of
sha1. But let's be even more careful and make sure that we
have a 40-char hex refname that matches what is in old_sha1.
This is perhaps overly defensive, but spells out our
assumptions clearly.

If clone fails, we generally try to clean up any directories
we've created. We do this by installing an atexit handler,
so that we don't have to manually trigger cleanup. However,
since we install this after touching the filesystem, any
errors between our initial mkdir() and our atexit() call
will result in us leaving a crufty directory around.
We can fix this by moving our atexit() call earlier. It's OK
to do it before the junk_work_tree variable is set, because
remove_junk makes sure the variable is initialized. This
means we "activate" the handler by assigning to the
junk_work_tree variable, which we now bump down to just
after we call mkdir(). We probably do not want to do it
before, because a plausible reason for mkdir() to fail is
EEXIST (i.e., we are racing with another "git init"), and we
would not want to remove their work.
OTOH, this is probably not that big a deal; we will allow
cloning into an empty directory (and skip the mkdir), which
is already racy (i.e., one clone may see the other's empty
dir and start writing into it). Still, it does not hurt to
err on the side of caution here.
Note that writing into junk_work_tree and junk_git_dir after
installing the handler is also technically racy, as we call
our handler on an async signal. Depending on the platform,
we could see a sheared write to the variables. Traditionally
we have not worried about this, and indeed we already do
this later in the function. If we want to address that, it
can come as a separate topic.

Right now we return a NULL "struct sha1file" if we encounter
an error. However, the sole caller (write_idx_file) does not
check the return value, and will segfault if we hit this
case.
One option would be to handle the error in the caller.
However, there's really nothing for it to do but die. This
code path is hit during "git index-pack --verify"; after we
verify the packfile, we check that the ".idx" we would
generate from it is byte-wise identical to what is on disk.
We hit the error (and segfault) if we can't open the .idx
file (a likely cause of this is that somebody else ran "git
repack -ad" while we were verifying). Since we can't
complete the requested verification, we really have no
choice but to die.
Furthermore, the rest of the sha1fd_* functions simply die
on errors. So if were to open the file successfully, for
example, and then hit a read error, sha1write would call
die() for us. So pushing the die() down into sha1fd_check
keeps the interface consistent.

When grep is called with the --quiet option, the pager is initialized
despite not being used. When the pager is "less", anything output by
previous commands and not ended with a newline is overwritten:
$ echo -n aaa; echo bbb
aaabbb
$ echo -n aaa; git grep -q foo; echo bbb
bbb
This can be worked around, for example, by making sure STDOUT is not a
TTY or more directly by setting git's pager to "cat":
$ echo -n aaa; git grep -q foo > /dev/null; echo bbb
aaabbb
$ echo -n aaa; PAGER=cat git grep -q foo; echo bbb
aaabbb
But prevent calling the pager in the first place, which would also
save an unnecessary fork().

The current definition results in an incorrect expansion of the term under zsh.
For instance "/^${1////\\/}/" under zsh with the argument "hi" results in:
/^/\/h/\/i/
This results in an output similar to this when trying to complete `git grep
chartab` under zsh:
:: git grep chartabawk: cmd. line:1: /^/\/c/\/h/\/a/\/r/\/t/\/a/\/b/ { print $1 }
awk: cmd. line:1: ^ backslash not last character on line
awk: cmd. line:1: /^/\/c/\/h/\/a/\/r/\/t/\/a/\/b/ { print $1 }
awk: cmd. line:1: ^ syntax error
Leaving the prompt in a goofy state until the user hits a key.
Escaping the literal / in the parameter expansion (using "/^${1//\//\\/}/")
results in:
/^chartab/
allowing the completion to work correctly.
This formulation also works under bash.

We check whether the return value of lookup_unknown_object

object struct if it does not find an existing one. So the
code here is not wrong, it is just confusing. Let's just

When upload-pack advertises the refs (either for a normal,
non-stateless request, or for the initial contact in a
stateless one), we call for_each_ref with the send_ref
function as its callback. send_ref, in turn, calls
mark_our_ref, which checks whether the ref is hidden, and
sets OUR_REF or HIDDEN_REF on the object as appropriate. If
it is hidden, mark_our_ref also returns "1" to signal
send_ref that the ref should not be advertised.
If we are not advertising refs, (i.e., the follow-up
invocation by an http client to send its "want" lines), we
use mark_our_ref directly as a callback to for_each_ref. Its
marking does the right thing, but when it then returns "1"
to for_each_ref, the latter interprets this as an error and
stops iterating. As a result, we skip marking all of the
refs that come lexicographically after it. Any "want" lines
from the client asking for those objects will fail, as they
were not properly marked with OUR_REF.
To solve this, we introduce a wrapper callback around
mark_our_ref which always returns 0 (even if the ref is
hidden, we want to keep iterating). We also tweak the
signature of mark_our_ref to exclude unnecessary parameters
that were present only to conform to the callback interface.
This should make it less likely for somebody to accidentally
use it as a callback in the future.
