A repository may have refs that are only used for its internal
bookkeeping purposes that should not be exposed to the others that
come over the network.
Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from its initial advertisement
by paying attention to the uploadpack.hiderefs multi-valued
configuration variable. Do the same to receive-pack via the
receive.hiderefs variable. As a convenient short-hand, allow using
transfer.hiderefs to set the value to both of these variables.
Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value of these
variable is excluded from responses to requests made by "ls-remote",
"fetch", etc. (for upload-pack) and "push" (for receive-pack).
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.

When pushing to update a branch with a commit that is not a
descendant of the commit at the tip, a wrong message "already
exists" was given, instead of the correct "non-fast-forward", if we
do not have the object sitting in the destination repository at the
tip of the ref we are updating.
The primary cause of the bug is that the check in a new helper
function is_forwardable() assumed both old and new objects are
available and can be checked, which is not always the case.
The way the caller uses the result of this function is also wrong.
If the helper says "we do not want to let this push go through", the
caller unconditionally translates it into "we blocked it because the
destination already exists", which is not true at all in this case.
Fix this by doing these three things:
* Remove unnecessary not_forwardable from "struct ref"; it is only
used inside set_ref_status_for_push();
* Make "refs/tags/" the only hierarchy that cannot be replaced
without --force;
* Remove the misguided attempt to force that everything that
updates an existing ref has to be a commit outside "refs/tags/"
hierarchy.
The policy last one tried to implement may later be resurrected and
extended to ensure fast-forwardness (defined as "not losing
objects", extending from the traditional "not losing commits from
the resulting history") when objects that are not commit are
involved (e.g. an annotated tag in hierarchies outside refs/tags),
but such a logic belongs to "is this a fast-forward?" check that is
done by ref_newer(); is_forwardable(), which is now removed, was not
the right place to do so.

When a push specifies deletion of non-existent refs, the post post-receive and
post-update hooks receive them as input/arguments.
For instance, for the following push, where refs/heads/nonexistent is a ref
which does not exist on the remote side:
git push origin :refs/heads/nonexistent
the post-receive hook receives from standard input:
<null-sha1> SP <null-sha1> SP refs/heads/nonexistent
and the post-update hook receives as arguments:
refs/heads/nonexistent
which does not make sense since it is a no-op.
Teach receive-pack not to pass non-existent refs to the post-receive and
post-update hooks. If the push only attempts to delete non-existent refs,
these hooks are not even called.
The update and pre-receive hooks are still notified about attempted
deletion of non-existent refs to give them a chance to inspect the
situation and act on it.

When pushing to a remote repo the sending side filters out aliased
updates (e.g., foo:baz bar:baz). However, it is not possible for the
sender to know if two refs are aliased on the receiving side via
symrefs. Here is one such scenario:
$ git init origin
$ (cd origin && touch file && git add file && git commit -a -m intial)
$ git clone --bare origin origin.git
$ rm -rf origin
$ git clone origin.git client
$ git clone --mirror client backup.git &&
$ (cd backup.git && git remote set-head origin --auto)
$ (cd client &&
git remote add --mirror backup ../backup.git &&
echo change1 > file && git commit -a -m change1 &&
git push origin &&
git push backup
)
The push to backup fails with:
Counting objects: 5, done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 244 bytes, done.
Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done.
error: Ref refs/remotes/origin/master is at ef3... but expected 262...
remote: error: failed to lock refs/remotes/origin/master

262cd57..ef307ff master -> master
262cd57..ef307ff origin/HEAD -> origin/HEAD
! [remote rejected] origin/master -> origin/master (failed to lock)
error: failed to push some refs to '../backup.git'
The reason is that refs/remotes/origin/HEAD is a symref to
refs/remotes/origin/master, but it is not possible for the sending side
to unambiguously know this.
This commit fixes the issue by having receive-pack ignore any update to
a symref whose target is being identically updated. If a symref and its
target are being updated inconsistently, then the update for both fails
with an error message ("refusing inconsistent update...") to help
diagnose the situation.

Pushing into the currently checked out branch of a non-bare
repository can be dangerous; the HEAD then loses sync with
the index and working tree, and it looks in the receiving
repo as if the pushed changes have been reverted in the
index (since they were never there in the first place).
This patch adds a safety valve that checks for this
condition and either generates a warning or denies the
update. We trigger the check only on a non-bare repository,
since a bare repo does not have a working tree (and in fact,
pushing to the HEAD branch is a common workflow for
publishing repositories).
The behavior is configurable via receive.denyCurrentBranch,
defaulting to "warn" so as not to break existing setups
(though it may, after a deprecation period, switch to
"refuse" by default). For users who know what they are doing
and want to silence the warning (e.g., because they have a
post-receive hook that reconciles the HEAD and working
tree), they can turn off the warning by setting it to false
or "ignore".

t5516 sets up some utility functions for starting each test

that do not use these functions, but instead make their own
repositories.
Let's bring these in line with the rest of the tests. Not
only do we reduce the number of lines, but these tests will
benefit from any further enhancements to the utility
scripts.
The conversion is pretty straightforward. Most of the tests
created a parent/child clone relationship, for which we now
use 'testrepo' as the parent. One test looked in testrepo,
but relied on previous tests to have set it up; it now sets
up testrepo explicitly, which makes it a bit more robust to

Previously, a push like:
git push remote src:dst
would go through the following steps:
1. check for an unambiguous 'dst' on the remote; if it
exists, then push to that ref
2. otherwise, check if 'dst' begins with 'refs/'; if it
does, create a new ref
3. otherwise, complain because we don't know where in the
refs hierarchy to put 'dst'
However, in some cases, we can guess about the ref type of
'dst' based on the ref type of 'src'. Specifically, before
complaining we now check:
2.5. if 'src' resolves to a ref starting with refs/heads
or refs/tags, then prepend that to 'dst'
So now this creates a new branch on the remote, whereas it
previously failed with an error message:
git push master:newbranch
Note that, by design, we limit this DWIM behavior only to
source refs which resolve exactly (including symrefs which
resolve to existing refs). We still complain on a partial
destination refspec if the source is a raw sha1, or a ref
expression such as 'master~10'.

push: use same rules as git-rev-parse to resolve refspecs

push: support pushing HEAD to real branch name
Occasionally, in some setups (*cough* forks on repo.or.cz *cough*) some
refs go stale, e.g. when the forkee rebased and lost some objects needed
by the fork. The quick & dirty way to deal with those refs is to delete
them and push them again.
However, git-push first would first fetch the current commit name for the
ref, would receive a null sha1 since the ref does not point to a valid
object, then tell receive-pack that it should delete the ref with this
commit name. delete_ref() would be subsequently be called, and check that
resolve_ref() (which does _not_ check for validity of the object) returns
the same commit name. Which would fail.
The proper fix is to avoid corrupting repositories, but in the meantime
this is a good fix in any case.
Incidentally, some instances of "cd .." in the test cases were fixed, so
that subsequent test cases run in t/trash/ irrespective of the outcome of

This commit changes the rules for resolving refspecs to match the

to resolve a short ref to its full name, which are well documented.
The rules for resolving refspecs documented in git-send-pack were
less strict and harder to understand. This commit replaces them by
the rules of git-rev-parse.
The unified rules are easier to understand and better resolve ambiguous
cases. You can now push from a repository containing several branches
ending on the same short name.

Earlier, when the local repository has a branch "frotz" and the

This was because the partial refname matching code was applied

When "git push A:B" is given, and A (or B) is not a full refname
that begins with refs/, we require an unambiguous match with an
existing ref. For this purpose, a match with a local branch or
a tag (i.e. refs/heads/A and refs/tags/A) is called a "strong
match", and any other match is called a "weak match". A partial
refname is unambiguous when there is only one strong match with
any number of weak matches, or when there is only one weak match
and no other match.
However, as reported by Sparse with Ramsay Jones recently,
count_refspec_match() function had a bug where a variable in an
inner block masked a different variable of the same name, which
caused the weak matches to be ignored.
This fixes it, and adds tests for the fix.
