92b1551b1d refs: resolve symbolic refs first
Before committing ref updates, split symbolic ref updates into two
parts: an update to the underlying ref, and a log-only update to the
symbolic ref. This ensures that both references are locked correctly
during the transaction, including while their reflogs are updated.

Similarly, if the reference pointed to by HEAD is modified directly, add
a separate log-only update to HEAD, rather than leaving the job of
updating HEAD's reflog to commit_ref_update(). This change ensures that
HEAD is locked correctly while its reflog is being modified, as well as
being cheaper (HEAD only needs to be resolved once).

This makes use of a new function, lock_raw_ref(), which is analogous to
read_raw_ref(), but acquires a lock on the reference before reading it.

This change still has two problems:

* There are redundant read_ref_full() reference lookups.

* It is still possible to get incorrect reflogs for symbolic references
  if there is a concurrent update by another process, since the old_oid
  of a symref is determined before the lock on the pointed-to ref is
  held.

Both problems will soon be fixed.

8a679de6f1 ref_transaction_update(): check refname_is_safe() at a minimum
If the user has asked that a new value be set for a reference, we use
check_refname_format() to verify that the reference name satisfies all
of the rules. But in other cases, at least check that refname_is_safe().

ce414b33ec refs: make refs/bisect/* per-worktree
We need the place we stick refs for bisects in progress to not be
shared between worktrees.  So we make the refs/bisect/ hierarchy
per-worktree.

The is_per_worktree_ref function and associated docs learn that
refs/bisect/ is per-worktree, as does the git_path code in path.c

The ref-packing functions learn that per-worktree refs should not be
packed (since packed-refs is common rather than per-worktree).

Since refs/bisect is per-worktree, logs/refs/bisect should be too.

d0ab058498 tests: remove some direct access to .git/logs
Alternate refs backends might store reflogs somewhere other than
.git/logs.  Change most test code that directly accesses .git/logs to
instead use git reflog commands.

There are still a few tests which need direct access to reflogs: to
check reflog permissions, to manually create reflogs from scratch, to
save/restore reflogs, to check the format of raw reflog data, and to
remove not just reflog contents, but the reflogs themselves. All cases
which don't need direct access have been modified.

144c76fa39 update-ref and tag: add --create-reflog arg
Allow the creation of a ref (e.g. stash) with a reflog already in
place. For most refs (e.g. those under refs/heads), this happens
automatically, but for others, we need this option.

Currently, git does this by pre-creating the reflog, but alternate ref
backends might store reflogs somewhere other than .git/logs.  Code
that now directly manipulates .git/logs should instead use git
plumbing commands.

I also added --create-reflog to git tag, just for completeness.

In a moment, we will use this argument to make git stash work with
alternate ref backends.

cf018ee0cd ref_transaction_commit(): fix atomicity and avoid fd exhaustion
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.

0e729c7ed5 update-ref: fix "verify" command with missing <oldvalue>
If "git update-ref --stdin" was given a "verify" command with no
"<newvalue>" at all (not even zeros), the code was mistakenly setting
have_old=0 (and leaving old_sha1 uninitialized). But this is
incorrect: this command is supposed to verify that the reference
doesn't exist. So in this case we really need old_sha1 to be set to
null_sha1 and have_old to be set to 1.

Moreover, since have_old was being set to zero, *no* check of the old
value was being done, so the new value of the reference was being set
unconditionally to the value in new_sha1. new_sha1, in turn, was set
to null_sha1 in the expectation that that was the old value and it
shouldn't be changed. But because the precondition was not being
checked, the result was that the reference was being deleted
unconditionally.

So, if <oldvalue> is missing, set have_old unconditionally and set
old_sha1 to null_sha1.

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.

4207ed285f refs.c: change read_ref_at to use the reflog iterators
read_ref_at has its own parsing of the reflog file for no really good reason
so lets change this to use the existing reflog iterators. This removes one
instance where we manually unmarshall the reflog file format.

Remove the now redundant ref_msg function.

Log messages for errors are changed slightly. We no longer print the file
name for the reflog, instead we refer to it as 'Log for ref <refname>'.
This might be a minor useability regression, but I don't really think so, since
experienced users would know where the log is anyway and inexperienced users
would not know what to do about/how to repair 'Log ... has gap ...' anyway.

Adapt the t1400 test to handle the change in log messages.

1fbd504942 update-ref --stdin -z: deprecate interpreting the empty string as zeros
In the original version of this command, for the single case of the
"update" command's <newvalue>, the empty string was interpreted as
being equivalent to 40 "0"s.  This shorthand is unnecessary (binary
input will usually be generated programmatically anyway), and it
complicates the parser and the documentation.

So gently deprecate this usage: remove its description from the
documentation and emit a warning if it is found.  But for reasons of
backwards compatibility, continue to accept it.

3afcc46374 update-ref.c: extract a new function, parse_next_sha1()
Replace three functions, update_store_new_sha1(),
update_store_old_sha1(), and parse_next_arg(), with a single function,
parse_next_sha1().  The new function takes care of a whole argument,
including checking whether it is there, converting it to an SHA-1, and
emitting errors on EOF or for invalid values.  The return value
indicates whether the argument was present or absent, which requires
a bit of intelligence because absent values are represented
differently depending on whether "-z" was used.

The new interface means that the calling functions, parse_cmd_*(),
don't have to interpret the result differently based on the
line_termination mode that is in effect.  It also means that
parse_cmd_create() can distinguish unambiguously between an empty new
value and a zeros new value, which fixes a failure in t1400.

697a41519b parse_arg(): really test that argument is properly terminated
The old parse_arg(), when fed an argument

    "refs/heads/a"master

parsed 'refs/heads/a' off of the front of the argument and considered
itself successful.  It was only when parse_next_arg() tried to parse
the *next* argument that a problem was noticed.  But in fact, the
definition of the input format requires arguments to be terminated by
SP or NUL, so *this* argument is already erroneous and parse_arg()
should diagnose the problem.

So teach parse_arg() to verify that C-quoted arguments are terminated
correctly.  If not, emit a more specific error message.

There is no corresponding error case of a non-C-quoted argument that
is not terminated correctly, because the end of a non-quoted argument
is *by definition* a space or NUL, so there is no way to insert other
junk between the "end" of the argument and the argument terminator.

Adjust the tests to expect the new error message.  Add a docstring to
the function, incorporating the comments that were formerly within the
function plus some added information.

b274a7146c Fix failure to delete a packed ref through a symref
When deleting a ref through a symref (e.g. using 'git update-ref -d HEAD'
to delete refs/heads/master), we would remove the loose ref, but a packed
version of the same ref would remain, the end result being that instead of
deleting refs/heads/master we would appear to reset it to its state as of
the last repack.

This patch fixes the issue, by making sure we pass the correct ref name
when invoking repack_without_ref() from within delete_ref().

598f0877aa t1400 (update-ref): use test_must_fail
As t/README explains:

	When a gitcommand dies due to a segfault, test_must_fail
	diagnoses it as an error; "! git <command>" treats it as
	just another expected failure, which would let such a bug
	go unnoticed.

Several old tests were written before test_cmp was introduced, convert
these to test_cmp.

If were are at it, fix the order of the arguments where necessary to
make expected come first, so the command shows how the test result
deviates from the correct output.

045a476f91 update-ref --no-deref -d: handle the case when the pointed ref is packed
In this case we did nothing in the past, but we should delete the
reference in fact.

The problem was that when the symref is not packed but the referenced
ref is packed, then we assumed that the symref is packed as well, but
symrefs are never packed.

d492b31caf t/: Use "test_must_fail git" instead of "! git"
This patch changes every occurrence of "! git" -- with the meaning
that a git call has to gracefully fail -- into "test_must_fail git".

This is useful to

 - make sure the test does not fail because of a signal,
   e.g. SIGSEGV, and

 - advertise the use of "test_must_fail" for new tests.

d1a4489a56 avoid null SHA1 in oldest reflog
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.

41ac414ea2 Sane use of test_expect_failure
Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite
of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision.  Most tests
run a series of commands that leads to the single command that
needs to be tested, like this:

    test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' '
	setup1 &&
        setup2 &&
        setup3 &&
        what is to be tested
    '

And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the
point of writing tests.  Your setup$N that are supposed to
succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are
trying to test.  The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to
check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which
is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands.

This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to
use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is
tested, like this:

    test_expect_success 'test title' '
	setup1 &&
        setup2 &&
        setup3 &&
        ! this command should fail
    '

test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that
that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it
currently does not pass.  So if git-foo command should create a
file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can
write a test like this:

    test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' '
        rm -f bar &&
        git foo &&
        test -f bar
    '

This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead
of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the
outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".
