ls-refs: report unborn targets of symrefs When cloning, we choose the default branch based on the remote HEAD. But if there is no remote HEAD reported (which could happen if the target of the remote HEAD is unborn), we'll fall back to using our local init.defaultBranch. Traditionally this hasn't been a big deal, because most repos used "master" as the default. But these days it is likely to cause confusion if the server and client implementations choose different values (e.g., if the remote started with "main", we may choose "master" locally, create commits there, and then the user is surprised when they push to "master" and not "main"). To solve this, the remote needs to communicate the target of the HEAD symref, even if it is unborn, and "git clone" needs to use this information. Currently, symrefs that have unborn targets (such as in this case) are not communicated by the protocol. Teach Git to advertise and support the "unborn" feature in "ls-refs" (by default, this is advertised, but server administrators may turn this off through the lsrefs.unborn config). This feature indicates that "ls-refs" supports the "unborn" argument; when it is specified, "ls-refs" will send the HEAD symref with the name of its unborn target. This change is only for protocol v2. A similar change for protocol v0 would require independent protocol design (there being no analogous position to signal support for "unborn") and client-side plumbing of the data required, so the scope of this patch set is limited to protocol v2. The client side will be updated to use this in a subsequent commit. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

upload-pack: strip namespace from symref data Since 7171d8c15f (upload-pack: send symbolic ref information as capability, 2013-09-17), we've sent cloning and fetching clients special information about which branch HEAD is pointing to, so that they don't have to guess based on matching up commit ids. However, this feature has never worked properly with the GIT_NAMESPACE feature. Because upload-pack uses head_ref_namespaced(find_symref), we do find and report on refs/namespaces/foo/HEAD instead of the actual HEAD of the repo. This makes sense, since the branch pointed to by the top-level HEAD may not be advertised at all. But we do two things wrong: 1. We report the full name refs/namespaces/foo/HEAD, instead of just HEAD. Meaning no client is going to bother doing anything with that symref, since we're not otherwise advertising it. 2. We report the symref destination using its full name (e.g., refs/namespaces/foo/refs/heads/master). That's similarly useless to the client, who only saw "refs/heads/master" in the advertisement. We should be stripping the namespace prefix off of both places (which this patch fixes). Likely nobody noticed because we tend to do the right thing anyway. Bug (1) means that we said nothing about HEAD (just refs/namespace/foo/HEAD). And so the client half of the code, from a45b5f0552 (connect: annotate refs with their symref information in get_remote_head(), 2013-09-17), does not annotate HEAD, and we use the fallback in guess_remote_head(), matching refs by object id. Which is usually right. It only falls down in ambiguous cases, like the one laid out in the included test. This also means that we don't have to worry about breaking anybody who was putting pre-stripped names into their namespace symrefs when we fix bug (2). Because of bug (1), nobody would have been using the symref we advertised in the first place (not to mention that those symrefs would have appeared broken for any non-namespaced access). Note that we have separate fixes here for the v0 and v2 protocols. The symref advertisement moved in v2 to be a part of the ls-refs command. This actually gets part (1) right, since the symref annotation piggy-backs on the existing ref advertisement, which is properly stripped. But it still needs a fix for part (2). The included tests cover both protocols. Reported-by: Bryan Turner <bturner@atlassian.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

refs: switch peel_ref() to peel_iterated_oid() The peel_ref() interface is confusing and error-prone: - it's typically used by ref iteration callbacks that have both a refname and oid. But since they pass only the refname, we may load the ref value from the filesystem again. This is inefficient, but also means we are open to a race if somebody simultaneously updates the ref. E.g., this: int some_ref_cb(const char *refname, const struct object_id *oid, ...) { if (!peel_ref(refname, &peeled)) printf("%s peels to %s", oid_to_hex(oid), oid_to_hex(&peeled); } could print nonsense. It is correct to say "refname peels to..." (you may see the "before" value or the "after" value, either of which is consistent), but mentioning both oids may be mixing before/after values. Worse, whether this is possible depends on whether the optimization to read from the current iterator value kicks in. So it is actually not possible with: for_each_ref(some_ref_cb); but it _is_ possible with: head_ref(some_ref_cb); which does not use the iterator mechanism (though in practice, HEAD should never peel to anything, so this may not be triggerable). - it must take a fully-qualified refname for the read_ref_full() code path to work. Yet we routinely pass it partial refnames from callbacks to for_each_tag_ref(), etc. This happens to work when iterating because there we do not call read_ref_full() at all, and only use the passed refname to check if it is the same as the iterator. But the requirements for the function parameters are quite unclear. Instead of taking a refname, let's instead take an oid. That fixes both problems. It's a little funny for a "ref" function not to involve refs at all. The key thing is that it's optimizing under the hood based on having access to the ref iterator. So let's change the name to make it clear why you'd want this function versus just peel_object(). There are two other directions I considered but rejected: - we could pass the peel information into the each_ref_fn callback. However, we don't know if the caller actually wants it or not. For packed-refs, providing it is essentially free. But for loose refs, we actually have to peel the object, which would be wasteful in most cases. We could likewise pass in a flag to the callback indicating whether the peeled information is known, but that complicates those callbacks, as they then have to decide whether to manually peel themselves. Plus it requires changing the interface of every callback, whether they care about peeling or not, and there are many of them. - we could make a function to return the peeled value of the current iterated ref (computing it if necessary), and BUG() otherwise. I.e.: int peel_current_iterated_ref(struct object_id *out); Each of the current callers is an each_ref_fn callback, so they'd mostly be happy. But: - we use those callbacks with functions like head_ref(), which do not use the iteration code. So we'd need to handle the fallback case there, anyway. - it's possible that a caller would want to call into generic code that sometimes is used during iteration and sometimes not. This encapsulates the logic to do the fast thing when possible, and fallback when necessary. The implementation is mostly obvious, but I want to call out a few things in the patch: - the test-tool coverage for peel_ref() is now meaningless, as it all collapses to a single peel_object() call (arguably they were pretty uninteresting before; the tricky part of that function is the fast-path we see during iteration, but these calls didn't trigger that). I've just dropped it entirely, though note that some other tests relied on the tags we created; I've moved that creation to the tests where it matters. - we no longer need to take a ref_store parameter, since we'd never look up a ref now. We do still rely on a global "current iterator" variable which _could_ be kept per-ref-store. But in practice this is only useful if there are multiple recursive iterations, at which point the more appropriate solution is probably a stack of iterators. No caller used the actual ref-store parameter anyway (they all call the wrapper that passes the_repository). - the original only kicked in the optimization when the "refname" pointer matched (i.e., not string comparison). We do likewise with the "oid" parameter here, but fall back to doing an actual oideq() call. This in theory lets us kick in the optimization more often, though in practice no current caller cares. It should never be wrong, though (peeling is a property of an object, so two refs pointing to the same object would peel identically). - the original took care not to touch the peeled out-parameter unless we found something to put in it. But no caller cares about this, and anyway, it is enforced by peel_object() itself (and even in the optimized iterator case, that's where we eventually end up). We can shorten the code and avoid an extra copy by just passing the out-parameter through the stack.

ls-refs.c: traverse prefixes of disjoint "ref-prefix" sets ls-refs performs a single revision walk over the whole ref namespace, and sends ones that match with one of the given ref prefixes down to the user. This can be expensive if there are many refs overall, but the portion of them covered by the given prefixes is small by comparison. To attempt to reduce the difference between the number of refs traversed, and the number of refs sent, only traverse references which are in the longest common prefix of the given prefixes. This is very reminiscent of the approach taken in b31e2680c4 (ref-filter.c: find disjoint pattern prefixes, 2019-06-26) which does an analogous thing for multi-patterned 'git for-each-ref' invocations. The callback 'send_ref' is resilient to ignore extra patterns by discarding any arguments which do not begin with at least one of the specified prefixes. Similarly, the code introduced in b31e2680c4 is resilient to stop early at metacharacters, but we only pass strict prefixes here. At worst we would return too many results, but the double checking done by send_ref will throw away anything that doesn't start with something in the prefix list. Finally, if no prefixes were provided, then implicitly add the empty string (which will match all references) since this matches the existing behavior (see the "no restrictions" comment in "ls-refs.c:ref_match()").
