9f69d29770 refs: implement simple transactions for the packed-refs file
Handle simple transactions for the packed-refs file at the
packed_ref_cache level via new functions lock_packed_refs(),
commit_packed_refs(), and rollback_packed_refs().

Only allow the packed ref cache to be modified (via add_packed_ref())
while the packed refs file is locked.

Change clone to add the new references within a transaction.

4f78c24c63 refs: document the lifetime of the args passed to each_ref_fn
The lifetime of the memory pointed to by the refname and sha1
arguments to each_ref_fn was never documented, but some callers used
to assume that it was essentially permanent.  In fact the API does
*not* guarantee that these objects live beyond a single callback
invocation.

In the current code, the lifetimes are bound together with the
lifetimes of the ref_caches.  Since these are usually long, the
callers usually got away with their sloppiness.  But even today, if a
ref_cache is invalidated the memory can be freed.  And planned changes
to reference caching, needed to eliminate race conditions, will
probably need to shorten the lifetimes of these objects.

The commits leading up to this have (hopefully) fixed all of the
callers of the for_each_ref()-like functions.  This commit does the
last step: documents what each_ref_fn callbacks can assume about
object lifetimes.

32d462cea8 pack-refs: merge code from pack-refs.{c,h} into refs.{c,h}
pack-refs.c doesn't contain much code, and the code it does contain is
closely related to reference handling.  Moreover, there is some
duplication between pack_refs() and repack_without_ref().  Therefore,
merge pack-refs.c into refs.c and pack-refs.h into refs.h.

The code duplication will be addressed in future commits.

2312a79320 peel_ref(): fix return value for non-peelable, not-current reference
The old version was inconsistent: when a reference was
REF_KNOWS_PEELED but with a null peeled value, it returned non-zero
for the current reference but zero for other references.  Change the
behavior for non-current references to match that of current_ref,
which is what callers expect.  Document the behavior.

Current callers only call peel_ref() from within a for_each_ref-style
iteration and only for the current ref; therefore, the buggy code path
was never reached.

98f85ff4b6 reflog: add for_each_reflog_ent_reverse() API
"git checkout -" is a short-hand for "git checkout @{-1}" and the
"@{nth}" notation for a negative number is to find nth previous
checkout in the reflog of the HEAD to determine the name of the
branch the user was on.  We would want to find the nth most recent
reflog entry that matches "checkout: moving from X to Y" for this.

Unfortunately, reflog is implemented as an append-only file, and the
API to iterate over its entries, for_each_reflog_ent(), reads the
file in order, giving the entries from the oldest to newer.  For the
purpose of finding nth most recent one, this API forces us to record
the last n entries in a rotating buffer and give the result out only
after we read everything.  To optimize for a common case of finding
the nth most recent one for a small value of n, we also have a side
API for_each_recent_reflog_ent() that starts reading near the end of
the file, but it still has to read the entries in the "wrong" order.
The implementation of understanding @{-1} uses this interface.

This all becomes unnecessary if we add an API to let us iterate over
reflog entries in the reverse order, from the newest to older.

daebaa7813 upload/receive-pack: allow hiding ref hierarchies
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.

432ad41e60 refs: store references hierarchically
Store references hierarchically in a tree that matches the
pseudo-directory structure of the reference names.  Add a new kind of
ref_entry (with flag REF_DIR) to represent a whole subdirectory of
references.  Sort ref_dirs one subdirectory at a time.

NOTE: the dirs can now be sorted as a side-effect of other function
calls.  Therefore, it would be problematic to do something from a
each_ref_fn callback that could provoke the sorting of a directory
that is currently being iterated over (i.e., the directory containing
the entry that is being processed or any of its parents).

This is a bit far-fetched, because a directory is always sorted just
before being iterated over.  Therefore, read-only accesses cannot
trigger the sorting of a directory whose iteration has already
started.  But if a callback function would add a reference to a parent
directory of the reference in the iteration, then try to resolve a
reference under that directory, a re-sort could be triggered and cause
the iteration to work incorrectly.

Nevertheless...add a comment in refs.h warning against modifications
during iteration.

a40e6fb67a Change check_refname_format() to reject unnormalized refnames
Since much of the infrastructure does not work correctly with
unnormalized refnames, change check_refname_format() to reject them.

Similarly, change "git check-ref-format" to reject unnormalized
refnames by default.  But add an option --normalize, which causes "git
check-ref-format" to normalize the refname before checking its format,
and print the normalized refname.  This is exactly the behavior of the
old --print option, which is retained but deprecated.

suite (and likely elsewhere in the code) by enabling "onelevel" and
"refspec-pattern" to be allowed independently of each other.

a1bea2c1fc ref namespaces: infrastructure
Add support for dividing the refs of a single repository into multiple
namespaces, each of which can have its own branches, tags, and HEAD.
Git can expose each namespace as an independent repository to pull from
and push to, while sharing the object store, and exposing all the refs
to operations such as git-gc.

Storing multiple repositories as namespaces of a single repository
avoids storing duplicate copies of the same objects, such as when
storing multiple branches of the same source.  The alternates mechanism
provides similar support for avoiding duplicates, but alternates do not
prevent duplication between new objects added to the repositories
without ongoing maintenance, while namespaces do.

To specify a namespace, set the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable to
the namespace.  For each ref namespace, git stores the corresponding
refs in a directory under refs/namespaces/.  For example,
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/.  You can
also specify namespaces via the --namespace option to git.

Note that namespaces which include a / will expand to a hierarchy of
namespaces; for example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar will store refs under
refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/.  This makes paths in
GIT_NAMESPACE behave hierarchically, so that cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar produces the same result as cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo and cloning from that repo with GIT_NAMESPACE=bar.  It
also avoids ambiguity with strange namespace paths such as
foo/refs/heads/, which could otherwise generate directory/file conflicts
within the refs directory.

Add the infrastructure for ref namespaces: handle the GIT_NAMESPACE
environment variable and --namespace option, and support iterating over
refs in a namespace.

c17b229454 checkout -b <name>: correctly detect existing branch
When create a new branch, we fed "refs/heads/<proposed name>" as a string
to get_sha1() and expected it to fail when a branch already exists.

The right way to check if a ref exists is to check with resolve_ref().

A naïve solution that might appear attractive but does not work is to
forbid slashes in get_describe_name() but that will not work. A describe
name is is in the form of "ANYTHING-g<short sha1>", and that ANYTHING part
comes from a original tag name used in the repository the user ran the
describe command. A sick user could have a confusing hierarchical tag
whose name is "refs/heads/foobar" (stored as refs/tags/refs/heads/foobar")
to generate a describe name "refs/heads/foobar-6-g02ac983", and we should
be able to use that name to refer to the object whose name is 02ac983.

7c2b3029df make get_short_ref a public function
Often we want to shorten a full ref name to something "prettier"
to show a user. For example, "refs/heads/master" is often shown
simply as "master", or "refs/remotes/origin/master" is shown as
"origin/master".

Many places in the code use a very simple formula: skip common
prefixes like refs/heads, refs/remotes, etc. This is codified in
the prettify_ref function.

for-each-ref has a more correct (but more expensive) approach:
consider the ref lookup rules, and try shortening as much as
possible while remaining unambiguous.

This patch makes the latter strategy globally available as
shorten_unambiguous_ref.

f8948e2fbc remote prune: warn dangling symrefs
If you prune from the remote "frotz" that deleted the ref your tracking
branch remotes/frotz/HEAD points at, the symbolic ref will become
dangling.  We used to detect this as an error condition and issued a
message every time refs are enumerated.

This stops the error message, but moves the warning to "remote prune".

even though we don't have refs in our newly-created repository for

5f7b202a7f lock_any_ref_for_update(): reject wildcard return from check_ref_format
Recent check_ref_format() returns -3 as well as -1 (general
error) and -2 (less than two levels).  The caller was explicitly
checking for -1, to allow "HEAD" but still needed to disallow
bogus refs.

This introduces symbolic constants for the return values from
check_ref_format() to make them read better and more
meaningful.  Normal ref creation codepath can still treat
non-zero return values as errors.

It used to ignore the return value of the helper function; now, it
expects it to return 0, and stops iteration upon non-zero return
values; this value is then passed on as the return value of
for_each_reflog_ent().

Further, it makes no sense to force the parsing upon the helper

c976d415e5 git-branch: add options and tests for branch renaming
Extend git-branch with the following options:

  git-branch -m|-M [<oldbranch>] newbranch

The -M variation is required to force renaming over an exsisting
branchname.

This also indroduces $GIT_DIR/RENAME_REF which is a "metabranch"
used when renaming branches. It will always hold the original sha1
for the latest renamed branch.

Additionally, if $GIT_DIR/logs/RENAME_REF exists, all branch rename
events are logged there.

Finally, some testcases are added to verify the new options.

f4204ab9f6 Store peeled refs in packed-refs (take 2).
This fixes the previous implementation which failed to optimize
repositories with tons of lightweight tags.  The updated
packed-refs format begins with "# packed-refs with:" line that
lists the kind of extended data the file records.  Currently,
there is only one such extension defined, "peeled".  This stores
the "peeled tag" on a line that immediately follows a line for a
tag object itself in the format "^<sha-1>".

The header line itself and any extended data are ignored by
older implementation, so packed-refs file generated with this
version can still be used by older git.  packed-refs made by
older git can of course be used with this version.

cb5d709ff8 Add callback data to for_each_ref() family.
This is a long overdue fix to the API for for_each_ref() family
of functions.  It allows the callers to specify a callback data
pointer, so that the caller does not have to use static
variables to communicate with the callback funciton.

The updated for_each_ref() family takes a function of type

	int (*fn)(const char *, const unsigned char *, void *)

and a void pointer as parameters, and calls the function with
the name of the ref and its SHA-1 with the caller-supplied void
pointer as parameters.

The commit updates two callers, builtin-name-rev.c and

434cd0cd30 Enable the packed refs file format
This actually "turns on" the packed ref file format, now that the
infrastructure to do so sanely exists (ie notably the change to make the
reference reading logic take refnames rather than pathnames to the loose
objects that no longer necessarily even exist).

In particular, when the ref lookup hits a refname that has no loose file
associated with it, it falls back on the packed-ref information. Also, the
ref-locking code, while still using a loose file for the locking itself
(and _creating_ a loose file for the new ref) no longer requires that the
old ref be in such an unpacked state.

Finally, this does a minimal hack to git-checkout.sh to rather than check
the ref-file directly, do a "git-rev-parse" on the "heads/$refname".
That's not really wonderful - we should rather really have a special
routine to verify the names as proper branch head names, but it is a
workable solution for now.

With this, I can literally do something like

	git pack-refs
	find .git/refs -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f --

and the end result is a largely working repository (ie I've done two
commits - which creates _one_ unpacked ref file - done things like run
"gitk" and "git log" etc, and it all looks ok).

There are probably things missing, but I'm hoping that the missing things
are now of the "small and obvious" kind, and that somebody else might want
to start looking at this too. Hint hint ;)

e5f38ec3c5 ref-log: style fixes.
A few style fixes to get the code in line with the rest.

 - asterisk to make a type a pointer to something goes in front
   of the variable, not at the end of the base type.
   E.g. a pointer to an integer is "int *ip", not "int* ip".

 - open parenthesis for function parameter list, unlike
   syntactic constructs, comes immediately after the function
   name.  E.g. "if (foo) bar();" not "if(foo) bar ();".

 - "else" does not come on the same line as the closing brace of
   corresponding "if".

The style is mostly a matter of personal taste, and people may
disagree, but consistency is important.
