72d0ea0056 ls-refs: introduce ls-refs server command
Introduce the ls-refs server command.  In protocol v2, the ls-refs
command is used to request the ref advertisement from the server.  Since
it is a command which can be requested (as opposed to mandatory in v1),
a client can sent a number of parameters in its request to limit the ref
advertisement based on provided ref-prefixes.

ed10cb952d serve: introduce git-serve
Introduce git-serve, the base server for protocol version 2.

Protocol version 2 is intended to be a replacement for Git's current
wire protocol.  The intention is that it will be a simpler, less
wasteful protocol which can evolve over time.

Protocol version 2 improves upon version 1 by eliminating the initial
ref advertisement.  In its place a server will export a list of
capabilities and commands which it supports in a capability
advertisement.  A client can then request that a particular command be
executed by providing a number of capabilities and command specific
parameters.  At the completion of a command, a client can request that
another command be executed or can terminate the connection by sending a
flush packet.

0aa7a78099 smart-http: document flush after "# service" line
The http-protocol.txt spec fails to mention that a flush packet
comes in the smart server response after sending the "service"
header.

Technically the client code is actually ready to receive an
arbitrary number of headers here, but since we haven't
introduced any other headers in the past decade (and the
client would just throw them away), let's not mention it in
the spec.

This fixes both BNF and the example. While we're fixing the
latter, let's also add the missing flush after the ref list.

fb89888849 dir: hide untracked contents of untracked dirs
When we taught read_directory_recursive() to recurse into untracked
directories in search of ignored files given DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO, that
had the side effect of teaching it to collect the untracked contents of
untracked directories. It doesn't always make sense to return these,
though (we do need them for `clean -d`), so we introduce a flag
(DIR_KEEP_UNTRACKED_CONTENTS) to control whether or not read_directory()
strips dir->entries of the untracked contents of untracked dirs.

We also introduce check_contains() to check if one dir_entry corresponds
to a path which contains the path corresponding to another dir_entry.

This also fixes known breakages in t7061, since status --ignored now
searches untracked directories for ignored files.

cbaf82cc6b receive-pack: verify push options in cert
In commit f6a4e61 ("push: accept push options", 2016-07-14), send-pack
was taught to include push options both within the signed cert (if the
push is a signed push) and outside the signed cert; however,
receive-pack ignores push options within the cert, only handling push
options outside the cert.

Teach receive-pack, in the case that push options are provided for a
signed push, to verify that the push options both within the cert and
outside the cert are consistent.

This sets in stone the requirement that send-pack redundantly send its
push options in 2 places, but I think that this is better than the
alternatives. Sending push options only within the cert is
backwards-incompatible with existing Git servers (which read push
options only from outside the cert), and sending push options only
outside the cert means that the push options are not signed for.

dddbad728c timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps
Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).

So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.

By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.

As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

8e2c7bef03 fetch-pack: show clearer error message upon ERR
Currently, fetch-pack prints a confusing error message ("expected
ACK/NAK") when the server it's communicating with sends a pkt-line
starting with "ERR".  Replace it with a less confusing error message.

Also update the documentation describing the fetch-pack/upload-pack
protocol (pack-protocol.txt) to indicate that "ERR" can be sent in the
place of "ACK" or "NAK". In practice, this has been done for quite some
time by other Git implementations (e.g. JGit sends "want $id not valid")
and by Git itself (since commit bdb31ea: "upload-pack: report "not our
ref" to client", 2017-02-23) whenever a "want" line references an object
that it does not have. (This is uncommon, but can happen if a repository
is garbage-collected during a negotiation.)

Subject: clear_delta_base_cache(): don't modify hashmap while iterating

Removing entries while iterating causes fast-import to
access an already-freed `struct packed_git`, leading to
various confusing errors.

What happens is that clear_delta_base_cache() drops the
whole contents of the cache by iterating over the hashmap,
calling release_delta_base_cache() on each entry. That
function removes the item from the hashmap. The hashmap code
may then shrink the table, but the hashmap_iter struct
retains an offset from the old table.

As a result, the next call to hashmap_iter_next() may claim
that the iteration is done, even though some items haven't
been visited.

The only caller of clear_delta_base_cache() is fast-import,
which wants to clear the cache because it is discarding the
packed_git struct for its temporary pack. So by failing to
remove all of the entries, we still have references to the
freed packed_git.

To make things even more confusing, this doesn't seem to
trigger with the test suite, because it depends on
complexities like the size of the hash table, which entries
got cleared, whether we try to access them before they're
evicted from the cache, etc.

So I've been able to identify the problem with large
imports like freebsd's svn import, or a fast-export of
linux.git. But nothing that would be reasonable to run as
part of the normal test suite.

We can fix this easily by iterating over the lru linked list
instead of the hashmap. They both contain the same entries,
and we can use the "safe" variant of the list iterator,
which exists for exactly this case.

Let's also add a warning to the hashmap API documentation to
reduce the chances of getting bit by this again.

Now that all callers of the old 'get_pathspec' interface have been
migrated to use the new pathspec struct interface it can be removed
from the codebase.

Since there are no more users of the '_raw' field in the pathspec struct
it can also be removed.  This patch also removes the old functionality
of modifying the const char **argv array that was passed into
parse_pathspec.  Instead the constructed 'match' string (which is a
pathspec element with the prefix prepended) is only stored in its
corresponding pathspec_item entry.

to external resources such as allocated memory or an open file
descriptor, merely free(3)ing the containing structure (when the
caller's structure is on the heap) or letting it go out of scope
(when it is on the stack) would end up leaking the external
resource.

cccf74e2da fetch, upload-pack: --deepen=N extends shallow boundary by N commits
In git-fetch, --depth argument is always relative with the latest
remote refs. This makes it a bit difficult to cover this use case,
where the user wants to make the shallow history, say 3 levels
deeper. It would work if remote refs have not moved yet, but nobody
can guarantee that, especially when that use case is performed a
couple months after the last clone or "git fetch --depth". Also,
modifying shallow boundary using --depth does not work well with
clones created by --since or --not.

This patch fixes that. A new argument --deepen=<N> will add <N> more (*)
parent commits to the current history regardless of where remote refs
are.

Have/Want negotiation is still respected. So if remote refs move, the
server will send two chunks: one between "have" and "want" and another
to extend shallow history. In theory, the client could send no "want"s
in order to get the second chunk only. But the protocol does not allow
that. Either you send no want lines, which means ls-remote; or you
have to send at least one want line that carries deep-relative to the
server..

The main work was done by Dongcan Jiang. I fixed it up here and there.
And of course all the bugs belong to me.

(*) We could even support --deepen=<N> where <N> is negative. In that
case we can cut some history from the shallow clone. This operation
(and --depth=<shorter depth>) does not require interaction with remote
side (and more complicated to implement as a result).

269a7a8316 upload-pack: support define shallow boundary by excluding revisions
This should allow the user to say "create a shallow clone of this branch
after version <some-tag>".

Short refs are accepted and expanded at the server side with expand_ref()
because we cannot expand (unknown) refs from the client side.

Like deepen-since, deepen-not cannot be used with deepen. But deepen-not
can be mixed with deepen-since. The result is exactly how you do the
command "git rev-list --since=... --not ref".

569e554be9 upload-pack: add deepen-since to cut shallow repos based on time
This should allow the user to say "create a shallow clone containing the
work from last year" (once the client side is fixed up, of course).

In theory deepen-since and deepen (aka --depth) can be used together to
draw the shallow boundary (whether it's intersection or union is up to
discussion, but if rev-list is used, it's likely intersection). However,
because deepen goes with a custom commit walker, we can't mix the two
yet.

e0070e8bd5 parse-options.c: make OPTION_COUNTUP respect "unspecified" values
OPT_COUNTUP() merely increments the counter upon --option, and resets it
to 0 upon --no-option, which means that there is no "unspecified" value
with which a client can initialize the counter to determine whether or
not --[no]-option was seen at all.

Make OPT_COUNTUP() treat any negative number as an "unspecified" value
to address this shortcoming. In particular, if a client initializes the
counter to -1, then if it is still -1 after parse_options(), then
neither --option nor --no-option was seen; if it is 0, then --no-option
was seen last, and if it is 1 or greater, than --option was seen last.

This change does not affect the behavior of existing clients because
they all use the initial value of 0 (or more).

Note that builtin/clean.c initializes the variable used with
OPT__FORCE (which uses OPT_COUNTUP()) to a negative value, but it is set
to either 0 or 1 by reading the configuration before the code calls
parse_options(), i.e. as far as parse_options() is concerned, the
initial value of the variable is not negative.

To test this behavior, in test-parse-options.c, "verbose" is set to
"unspecified" while quiet is set to 0 which will test the new behavior
with all sets of values.

to be read as straight text without formatting and when the commit
forced everything in Documentation/ to go through AsciiDoc, it did
not do any adjustment--hence the double-dashes will be seen in the
resulting text that is rendered as preformatted fixed-width without
converted into em-dashes.

1c9b659d98 pack-protocol: clarify LF-handling in PKT-LINE()
The spec is very inconsistent about which PKT-LINE() parts
of the grammar include a LF. On top of that, the code is not
consistent, either (e.g., send-pack does not put newlines
into the ref-update commands it sends).

Let's make explicit the long-standing expectation that we
generally expect pkt-lines to end in a newline, but that
receivers should be lenient. This makes the spec consistent,
and matches what git already does (though it does not always
fulfill the SHOULD).

We do make an exception for the push-cert, where the
receiving code is currently a bit pickier. This is a
reasonable way to be, as the data needs to be byte-for-byte
compatible with what was signed. We _could_ make up some
rules about signing a canonicalized version including
newlines, but that would require a code change, and is out
of scope for this patch.

959b5455d0 submodule: implement a config API for lookup of .gitmodules values
In a superproject some commands need to interact with submodules. They
need to query values from the .gitmodules file either from the worktree
of from certain revisions. At the moment this is quite hard since a
caller would need to read the .gitmodules file from the history and then
parse the values. We want to provide an API for this so we have one
place to get values from .gitmodules from any revision (including the
worktree).

The API is realized as a cache which allows us to lazily read
.gitmodules configurations by commit into a runtime cache which can then
be used to easily lookup values from it. Currently only the values for
path or name are stored but it can be extended for any value needed.

It is expected that .gitmodules files do not change often between
commits. Thats why we lookup the .gitmodules sha1 from a commit and then
either lookup an already parsed configuration or parse and cache an
unknown one for each sha1. The cache is lazily build on demand for each
requested commit.

This cache can be used for all purposes which need knowledge about
submodule configurations. Example use cases are:

 * Recursive submodule checkout needs to lookup a submodule name from
   its path when a submodule first appears. This needs be done before
   this configuration exists in the worktree.

 * The implementation of submodule support for 'git archive' needs to
   lookup the submodule name to generate the archive when given a
   revision that is not checked out.

 * 'git fetch' when given the --recurse-submodules=on-demand option (or
   configuration) needs to lookup submodule names by path from the
   database rather than reading from the worktree. For new submodule it
   needs to lookup the name from its path to allow cloning new
   submodules into the .git folder so they can be checked out without
   any network interaction when the user does a checkout of that
   revision.

067fbd4105 introduce "preciousObjects" repository extension
If this extension is used in a repository, then no
operations should run which may drop objects from the object
storage. This can be useful if you are sharing that storage
with other repositories whose refs you cannot see.

For instance, if you do:

  $ git clone -s parent child
  $ git -C parent config extensions.preciousObjects true
  $ git -C parent config core.repositoryformatversion 1

you now have additional safety when running git in the
parent repository. Prunes and repacks will bail with an
error, and `git gc` will skip those operations (it will
continue to pack refs and do other non-object operations).
Older versions of git, when run in the repository, will
fail on every operation.

Note that we do not set the preciousObjects extension by
default when doing a "clone -s", as doing so breaks
backwards compatibility. It is a decision the user should
make explicitly.

00a09d57eb introduce "extensions" form of core.repositoryformatversion
Normally we try to avoid bumps of the whole-repository
core.repositoryformatversion field. However, it is
unavoidable if we want to safely change certain aspects of
git in a backwards-incompatible way (e.g., modifying the set
of ref tips that we must traverse to generate a list of
unreachable, safe-to-prune objects).

If we were to bump the repository version for every such
change, then any implementation understanding version `X`
would also have to understand `X-1`, `X-2`, and so forth,
even though the incompatibilities may be in orthogonal parts
of the system, and there is otherwise no reason we cannot
implement one without the other (or more importantly, that
the user cannot choose to use one feature without the other,
weighing the tradeoff in compatibility only for that
particular feature).

This patch documents the existing repositoryformatversion
strategy and introduces a new format, "1", which lets a
repository specify that it must run with an arbitrary set of
extensions. This can be used, for example:

 - to inform git that the objects should not be pruned based
   only on the reachability of the ref tips (e.g, because it
   has "clone --shared" children)

 - that the refs are stored in a format besides the usual
   "refs" and "packed-refs" directories

Because we bump to format "1", and because format "1"
requires that a running git knows about any extensions
mentioned, we know that older versions of the code will not
do something dangerous when confronted with these new
formats.

For example, if the user chooses to use database storage for
refs, they may set the "extensions.refbackend" config to
"db". Older versions of git will not understand format "1"
and bail. Versions of git which understand "1" but do not
know about "refbackend", or which know about "refbackend"
but not about the "db" backend, will refuse to run. This is
annoying, of course, but much better than the alternative of
claiming that there are no refs in the repository, or
writing to a location that other implementations will not
read.

Note that we are only defining the rules for format 1 here.
We do not ever write format 1 ourselves; it is a tool that
is meant to be used by users and future extensions to
provide safety with older implementations.

2a514ed805 parse-options: move unsigned long option parsing out of pack-objects.c
The unsigned long option parsing (including 'k'/'m'/'g' suffix
parsing) is more widely applicable.  Add support for OPT_MAGNITUDE
to parse-options.h and change pack-objects.c use this support.

The error behavior on parse errors follows that of OPT_INTEGER.  The
name of the option that failed to parse is reported with a brief
message describing the expect format for the option argument and
then the full usage message for the command invoked.

This differs from the previous behavior for OPT_ULONG used in
pack-objects for --max-pack-size and --window-memory which used to
display the value supplied in the error message and did not display
the full usage message.

ffad85c599 parse-options-cb: implement parse_opt_passthru_argv()
Certain git commands, such as git-pull, are simply wrappers around other

options of the commands they wrap.

Implement the parse_opt_passthru_argv() parse-options callback, which

useful for passing command-line options that can be specified multiple

2b2a5be394 each_ref_fn: change to take an object_id parameter
Change typedef each_ref_fn to take a "const struct object_id *oid"
parameter instead of "const unsigned char *sha1".

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,
mechanical changes to the sites that call any of the "for_each_ref"
family of functions. Subsequent to this change, the call sites can be
rewritten one by one to use the new interface.

68ee628932 upload-pack: optionally allow fetching reachable sha1
With uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant configuration option set on the
server side, "git fetch" can make a request with a "want" line that names
an object that has not been advertised (likely to have been obtained out
of band or from a submodule pointer). Only objects reachable from the
branch tips, i.e. the union of advertised branches and branches hidden by
transfer.hideRefs, will be processed. Note that there is an associated
cost of having to walk back the history to check the reachability.

This feature can be used when obtaining the content of a certain commit,
for which the sha1 is known, without the need of cloning the whole
repository, especially if a shallow fetch is used. Useful cases are e.g.
repositories containing large files in the history, fetching only the
needed data for a submodule checkout, when sharing a sha1 without telling
which exact branch it belongs to and in Gerrit, if you think in terms of
commits instead of change numbers. (The Gerrit case has already been
solved through allowTipSHA1InWant as every Gerrit change has a ref.)

9e3751d443 remote.c: drop "remote" pointer from "struct branch"
When we create each branch struct, we fill in the
"remote_name" field from the config, and then fill in the
actual "remote" field (with a "struct remote") based on that
name. However, it turns out that nobody really cares about
the latter field. The only two sites that access it at all
are:

  1. git-merge, which uses it to notice when the branch does
     not have a remote defined. But we can easily replace this
     with looking at remote_name instead.

  2. remote.c itself, when setting up the @{upstream} merge
     config. But we don't need to save the "remote" in the
     "struct branch" for that; we can just look it up for
     the duration of the operation.

So there is no need to have both fields; they are redundant
with each other (the struct remote contains the name, or you
can look up the struct from the name). It would be nice to
simplify this, especially as we are going to add matching
pushremote config in a future patch (and it would be nice to
keep them consistent).

So which one do we keep and which one do we get rid of?

If we had a lot of callers accessing the struct, it would be
more efficient to keep it (since you have to do a lookup to
go from the name to the struct, but not vice versa). But we
don't have a lot of callers; we have exactly one, so
efficiency doesn't matter. We can decide this based on
simplicity and readability.

And the meaning of the struct value is somewhat unclear. Is
it always the remote matching remote_name? If remote_name is
NULL (i.e., no per-branch config), does the struct fall back
to the "origin" remote, or is it also NULL? These questions
will get even more tricky with pushremotes, whose fallback
behavior is more complicated. So let's just store the name,
which pretty clearly represents the branch.*.remote config.
Any lookup or fallback behavior can then be implemented in
helper functions.

1e8fef609e untracked cache: guard and disable on system changes
If the user enables untracked cache, then

 - move worktree to an unsupported filesystem
 - or simply upgrade OS
 - or move the whole (portable) disk from one machine to another
 - or access a shared fs from another machine

there's no guarantee that untracked cache can still function properly.
Record the worktree location and OS footprint in the cache. If it
changes, err on the safe side and disable the cache. The user can
'update-index --untracked-cache' again to make sure all conditions are
met.

This adds a new requirement that setup_git_directory* must be called
before read_cache() because we need worktree location by then, or the
cache is dropped.

This change does not cover all bases, you can fool it if you try
hard. The point is to stop accidents.
