A new configuration variable remote.<name>.serverOption makes the
transport layer act as if the --serverOption=<value> option is
given from the command line.
* xx/remote-server-option-config:
ls-remote: leakfix for not clearing server_options
fetch: respect --server-option when fetching multiple remotes
transport.c:🤝 make use of server options from remote
remote: introduce remote.<name>.serverOption configuration
transport: introduce parse_transport_option() method
Currently, server options for Git protocol v2 can only be specified via
the command line option "--server-option" or "-o", which is inconvenient
when users want to specify a list of default options to send. Therefore,
we are introducing a new configuration to hold a list of default server
options, akin to the `push.pushOption` configuration for push options.
Initially, I named the new configuration `fetch.serverOption` to align
with `push.pushOption`. However, after discussing with Patrick, it was
renamed to `remote.<name>.serverOption` as suggested, because:
1. Server options are designed to be server-specific, making it more
logical to use a per-remote configuration.
2. Using "fetch." prefixed configurations in git-clone or git-ls-remote
seems out of place and inconsistent in design.
The parsing logic for `remote.<name>.serverOption` also relies on
`transport.c:parse_transport_option`, similar to `push.pushOption`, and
they follow the same priority design:
1. Server options set in lower-priority configuration files (e.g.,
/etc/gitconfig or $HOME/.gitconfig) can be overridden or unset in
more specific repository configurations using an empty string.
2. Command-line specified server options take precedence over those from
the configuration.
Server options from configuration are stored to the corresponding
`remote.h:remote` as a new field `server_options`. The field will be
utilized in the subsequent commit to help initialize the
`server_options` of `transport.h:transport`.
And documentation have been updated accordingly.

The send-pack --force-with-lease option populates a push_cas_option
struct with allocated strings. Exiting without cleaning this up will
cause leak-checkers to complain.
We can fix this by calling clear_cas_option(), after making it publicly
available. Previously it was used only for resetting the list when we
saw --no-force-with-lease.
The git-push command has the same "leak", though in this case it won't
trigger a leak-checker since it stores the push_cas_option struct as a
global rather than on the stack (and is thus reachable even after main()
exits). I've added cleanup for it here anyway, though, as
future-proofing.
The leak is triggered by t5541 (it tests --force-with-lease over http,
which requires a separate send-pack process under the hood), but we
can't mark it as leak-free yet.

When we expand the %(upstream) or %(push) placeholders, we rely on
remote.c's remote_ref_for_branch() to fill in the ":refname" argument.
But that function has confusing memory ownership semantics: it may or
may not return an allocated string, depending on whether we are in
"upstream" mode or "push" mode. The caller in ref-filter.c always
duplicates the result, meaning that we leak the original in the case of
%(push:refname).
To solve this, let's make the return value from remote_ref_for_branch()
consistent, by always returning an allocated pointer. Note that the
switch to returning a non-const pointer has a ripple effect inside the
function, too. We were storing the "dst" result as a const pointer, too,
even though it is always allocated! It is the return value from
apply_refspecs(), which is always a non-const allocated string.
And then on the caller side in ref-filter.c (and this is the only caller
at all), we just need to avoid the extra duplication when the return
value is non-NULL.
This clears up one case that LSan finds in t6300, but there are more.

When we want to know the push urls for a remote, there is some simple
logic:
- if the user configured any remote.*.pushurl keys, then those make
the complete set of push urls
- otherwise we push to all urls in remote.*.url
Many spots implement this with a level of indirection, assigning to a
local url/url_nr pair. But since both arrays are now strvecs, we can
just use a pointer to select the appropriate strvec, shortening the code
a bit.
Even though this is now a one-liner, since it is application logic that
is present in so many places, it's worth abstracting a helper function.
In fact, we already have such a function, but it's local to
builtin/push.c. So we'll just make it available everywhere via remote.h.
There are two spots to pay special attention to here:
1. in builtin/remote.c's get_url(), we are selecting first based on
push_mode and then falling back to "url" when we're in push_mode
but no pushurl is defined. The updated code makes that much more
clear, compared to the original which had an "else" fall-through.
2. likewise in that file's set_url(), we _only_ respect push_mode,
sine the point is that we are adding to pushurl in that case
(whether it is empty or not). And thus it does not use our helper
function.

Now that the url/pushurl fields of "struct remote" own their strings, we
can switch from bare arrays to strvecs. This has a few advantages:
- push/clear are now one-liners
- likewise the free+assigns in alias_all_urls() can use
strvec_replace()
- we now use size_t for storage, avoiding possible overflow
- this will enable some further cleanups in future patches
There's quite a bit of fallout in the code that reads these fields, as
it tends to access these arrays directly. But it's mostly a mechanical
replacement of "url_nr" with "url.nr", and "url[i]" with "url.v[i]",
with a few variations (e.g. "*url" could become "*url.v", but I used
"url.v[0]" for consistency).

After we have set up the remote configuration in git-clone(1) we'll call

next to reading the on-disk configuration, `remote_get()` will also

oidhash() was used by both hashmap and khash, which makes sense.

khash think that it was built upon hashmap. (Or at least, I personally

Move this function to hash-ll, so that khash.h can stop depending upon

This has another benefit as well: it allows us to remove hashmap.h's

'list-objects-filter-options.h' and 'ref-filter.h' also define some

By default, the git remote show command will query data from remotes to
show data about what might be done on a future git fetch. This process
currently does not handle negative refspecs. This can be confusing,
because the show command will list refs as if they would be fetched. For
example if the fetch refspec "^refs/heads/pr/*", it still displays the
following:
* remote jdk19
Fetch URL: git@github.com:openjdk/jdk19.git
Push URL: git@github.com:openjdk/jdk19.git
HEAD branch: master
Remote branches:
master tracked
pr/1 new (next fetch will store in remotes/jdk19)
pr/2 new (next fetch will store in remotes/jdk19)
pr/3 new (next fetch will store in remotes/jdk19)
Local ref configured for 'git push':
master pushes to master (fast-forwardable)
Fix this by adding an additional check inside of get_ref_states. If a
ref matches one of the negative refspecs, mark it as skipped instead of
marking it as new or tracked.
With this change, we now report remote branches that are skipped due to
negative refspecs properly:
* remote jdk19
Fetch URL: git@github.com:openjdk/jdk19.git
Push URL: git@github.com:openjdk/jdk19.git
HEAD branch: master
Remote branches:
master tracked
pr/1 skipped
pr/2 skipped
pr/3 skipped
Local ref configured for 'git push':
master pushes to master (fast-forwardable)
By showing the refs as skipped, it helps clarify that these references
won't actually be fetched.
This does not properly handle refs going stale due to a newly added
negative refspec. In addition, git remote prune doesn't handle that
negative refspec case either. Fixing that requires digging into
get_stale_heads and handling the case of a ref which exists on the
remote but is omitted due to a negative refspec locally.
Add a new test case which covers the functionality above, as well as a
new expected failure indicating the poor overlap with stale refs.

However, a caller may supply an unrelated repository and branch, which

To prevent misuse, add a die_on_missing_branch() helper function that
dies if a given branch is not from a given repository. Speed up the
existence check by replacing the branches list with a branches_hash
hashmap.
Like read_config(), die_on_missing_branch() is only called from

When performing a fetch with the default `--write-fetch-head` option, we
write all updated references to FETCH_HEAD while the updates are
performed. Given that updates are not performed atomically, it means
that we we write to FETCH_HEAD even if some or all of the reference
updates fail.
Given that we simply update FETCH_HEAD ad-hoc with each reference, the
logic is completely contained in `store_update_refs` and thus quite hard
to extend. This can already be seen by the way we skip writing to the
FETCH_HEAD: instead of having a conditional which simply skips writing,
we instead open "/dev/null" and needlessly write all updates there.
We are about to extend git-fetch(1) to accept an `--atomic` flag which
will make the fetch an all-or-nothing operation with regards to the
reference updates. This will also require us to make the updates to
FETCH_HEAD an all-or-nothing operation, but as explained doing so is not
easy with the current layout. This commit thus refactors the wa we write
to FETCH_HEAD and pulls out the logic to open, append to, commit and
close the file. While this may seem rather over-the top at first,
pulling out this logic will make it a lot easier to update the code in a
subsequent commit. It also allows us to easily skip writing completely
in case `--no-write-fetch-head` was passed.

"git push --force-with-lease[=<ref>]" can easily be misused to lose

Add a check to verify if the remote-tracking ref of the local branch
is reachable from one of its "reflog" entries.
The check iterates through the local ref's reflog to see if there
is an entry for the remote-tracking ref and collecting any commits
that are seen, into a list; the iteration stops if an entry in the
reflog matches the remote ref or if the entry timestamp is older
the latest entry of the remote ref's "reflog". If there wasn't an
entry found for the remote ref, "in_merge_bases_many()" is called
to check if it is reachable from the list of collected commits.
When a local branch that is based on a remote ref, has been rewound
and is to be force pushed on the remote, "--force-if-includes" runs
a check that ensures any updates to the remote-tracking ref that may
have happened (by push from another repository) in-between the time
of the last update to the local branch (via "git-pull", for instance)
and right before the time of push, have been integrated locally
before allowing a forced update.
If the new option is passed without specifying "--force-with-lease",

Both fetch and push support pattern refspecs which allow fetching or
pushing references that match a specific pattern. Because these patterns
are globs, they have somewhat limited ability to express more complex
situations.
For example, suppose you wish to fetch all branches from a remote except
for a specific one. To allow this, you must setup a set of refspecs
which match only the branches you want. Because refspecs are either
explicit name matches, or simple globs, many patterns cannot be
expressed.
Add support for a new type of refspec, referred to as "negative"
refspecs. These are prefixed with a '^' and mean "exclude any ref
matching this refspec". They can only have one "side" which always
refers to the source. During a fetch, this refers to the name of the ref
on the remote. During a push, this refers to the name of the ref on the
local side.
With negative refspecs, users can express more complex patterns. For
example:
git fetch origin refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* ^refs/heads/dontwant
will fetch all branches on origin into remotes/origin, but will exclude
fetching the branch named dontwant.
Refspecs today are commutative, meaning that order doesn't expressly
matter. Rather than forcing an implied order, negative refspecs will
always be applied last. That is, in order to match, a ref must match at
least one positive refspec, and match none of the negative refspecs.
This is similar to how negative pathspecs work.

"git receive-pack" that accepts requests by "git push" learned to
outsource most of the ref updates to the new "proc-receive" hook.
* jx/proc-receive-hook:
doc: add documentation for the proc-receive hook
transport: parse report options for tracking refs
t5411: test updates of remote-tracking branches
receive-pack: new config receive.procReceiveRefs
doc: add document for capability report-status-v2
New capability "report-status-v2" for git-push
receive-pack: feed report options to post-receive
receive-pack: add new proc-receive hook
t5411: add basic test cases for proc-receive hook
transport: not report a non-head push as a branch
The new introduced "proc-receive" hook may handle a command for a
pseudo-reference with a zero-old as its old-oid, while the hook may
create or update a reference with different name, different new-oid,
and different old-oid (the reference may exist already with a non-zero
old-oid). Current "report-status" protocol cannot report the status for
such reference rewrite.
Add new capability "report-status-v2" and new report protocol which is
not backward compatible for report of git-push.
If a user pushes to a pseudo-reference "refs/for/master/topic", and
"receive-pack" creates two new references "refs/changes/23/123/1" and
"refs/changes/24/124/1", for client without the knowledge of
"report-status-v2", "receive-pack" will only send "ok/ng" directives in
the report, such as:
ok ref/for/master/topic
But for client which has the knowledge of "report-status-v2",
"receive-pack" will use "option" directives to report more attributes
for the reference given by the above "ok/ng" directive.
ok refs/for/master/topic
option refname refs/changes/23/123/1
option new-oid <new-oid>
ok refs/for/master/topic
option refname refs/changes/24/124/1
option new-oid <new-oid>
The client will report two new created references to the end user.

Git calls an internal `execute_commands` function to handle commands
sent from client to `git-receive-pack`. Regardless of what references
the user pushes, git creates or updates the corresponding references if
the user has write-permission. A contributor who has no
write-permission, cannot push to the repository directly. So, the
contributor has to write commits to an alternate location, and sends
pull request by emails or by other ways. We call this workflow as a
distributed workflow.
It would be more convenient to work in a centralized workflow like what
Gerrit provided for some cases. For example, a read-only user who
cannot push to a branch directly can run the following `git push`
command to push commits to a pseudo reference (has a prefix "refs/for/",
not "refs/heads/") to create a code review.
git push origin \
HEAD:refs/for/<branch-name>/<session>
The `<branch-name>` in the above example can be as simple as "master",
or a more complicated branch name like "foo/bar". The `<session>` in
the above example command can be the local branch name of the client
side, such as "my/topic".
We cannot implement a centralized workflow elegantly by using
"pre-receive" + "post-receive", because Git will call the internal
function "execute_commands" to create references (even the special
pseudo reference) between these two hooks. Even though we can delete
the temporarily created pseudo reference via the "post-receive" hook,
having a temporary reference is not safe for concurrent pushes.
So, add a filter and a new handler to support this kind of workflow.
The filter will check the prefix of the reference name, and if the
command has a special reference name, the filter will turn a specific
field (`run_proc_receive`) on for the command. Commands with this filed
turned on will be executed by a new handler (a hook named
"proc-receive") instead of the internal `execute_commands` function.
We can use this "proc-receive" command to create pull requests or send
emails for code review.
Suggested by Junio, this "proc-receive" hook reads the commands,
push-options (optional), and send result using a protocol in pkt-line
format. In the following example, the letter "S" stands for
"receive-pack" and letter "H" stands for the hook.
# Version and features negotiation.
S: PKT-LINE(version=1\0push-options atomic...)
S: flush-pkt
H: PKT-LINE(version=1\0push-options...)
H: flush-pkt
# Send commands from server to the hook.
S: PKT-LINE(<old-oid> <new-oid> <ref>)
S: ... ...
S: flush-pkt
# Send push-options only if the 'push-options' feature is enabled.
S: PKT-LINE(push-option)
S: ... ...
S: flush-pkt
# Receive result from the hook.
# OK, run this command successfully.
H: PKT-LINE(ok <ref>)
# NO, I reject it.
H: PKT-LINE(ng <ref> <reason>)
# Fall through, let 'receive-pack' to execute it.
H: PKT-LINE(ok <ref>)
H: PKT-LINE(option fall-through)
# OK, but has an alternate reference. The alternate reference name
# and other status can be given in options
H: PKT-LINE(ok <ref>)
H: PKT-LINE(option refname <refname>)
H: PKT-LINE(option old-oid <old-oid>)
H: PKT-LINE(option new-oid <new-oid>)
H: PKT-LINE(option forced-update)
H: ... ...
H: flush-pkt
After receiving a command, the hook will execute the command, and may
create/update different reference. For example, a command for a pseudo
reference "refs/for/master/topic" may create/update different reference
such as "refs/pull/123/head". The alternate reference name and other
status are given in option lines.
The list of commands returned from "proc-receive" will replace the
relevant commands that are sent from user to "receive-pack", and
"receive-pack" will continue to run the "execute_commands" function and
other routines. Finally, the result of the execution of these commands
will be reported to end user.
The reporting function from "receive-pack" to "send-pack" will be
extended in latter commit just like what the "proc-receive" hook reports
to "receive-pack".

The name "argv-array" isn't very good, because it describes what the
data type can be used for (program argument arrays), not what it
actually is (a dynamically-growing string array that maintains a
NULL-terminator invariant). This leads to people being hesitant to use
it for other cases where it would actually be a good fit. The existing
name is also clunky to use. It's overly long, and the name often leads
to saying things like "argv.argv" (i.e., the field names overlap with
variable names, since they're describing the use, not the type). Let's
give it a more neutral name.
I settled on "strvec" because "vector" is the name for a dynamic array
type in many programming languages. "strarray" would work, too, but it's
longer and a bit more awkward to say (and don't we all say these things
in our mind as we type them?).
A more extreme direction would be a generic data structure which stores
a NULL-terminated of _any_ type. That would be easy to do with void
pointers, but we'd lose some type safety for the existing cases. Plus it
raises questions about memory allocation and ownership. So I limited
myself here to changing names only, and not semantics. If we do find a
use for that more generic data type, we could perhaps implement it at a
lower level and then provide type-safe wrappers around it for strings.
But that can come later.
This patch does the minimum to convert the struct and function names in
the header and implementation, leaving a few things for follow-on
patches:
- files retain their original names for now
- struct field names are retained for now
- there's a preprocessor compat layer that lets most users remain the
same for now. The exception is headers which made a manual forward
declaration of the struct. I've converted them (and their dependent
function declarations) here.

Currently, remote-curl acts as a proxy and blindly forwards packets
between an HTTP server and fetch-pack. In the case of a stateless RPC
connection where the connection is terminated before the transaction is
complete, remote-curl will blindly forward the packets before waiting on
more input from fetch-pack. Meanwhile, fetch-pack will read the
transaction and continue reading, expecting more input to continue the
transaction. This results in a deadlock between the two processes.
This can be seen in the following command which does not terminate:
$ git -c protocol.version=2 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012
Cloning into 'git'...
whereas the v1 version does terminate as expected:
$ git -c protocol.version=1 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012
Cloning into 'git'...
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
Instead of blindly forwarding packets, make remote-curl insert a
response end packet after proxying the responses from the remote server
when using stateless_connect(). On the RPC client side, ensure that each
response ends as described.
A separate control packet is chosen because we need to be able to
differentiate between what the remote server sends and remote-curl's
control packets. By ensuring in the remote-curl code that a server
cannot send response end packets, we prevent a malicious server from
being able to perform a denial of service attack in which they spoof a
response end packet and cause the described deadlock to happen.

Commit 9700fae5ee (for-each-ref: let upstream/push report the remote
ref name, 2017-11-07) added a remote_ref_for_branch() helper, which
is modeled after remote_for_branch(). This includes providing an
"explicit" out-parameter that tells the caller whether the remote
was configured by the user, or whether we picked a default name like
"origin".
But unlike remote names, there is no default name when the user
didn't configure one. The only way the "explicit" parameter is used
by the caller is to use the value returned from the helper when it
is set, and use an empty string otherwise, ignoring the returned
value from the helper.
Let's drop the "explicit" out-parameter, and return NULL when the
returned value from the helper should be ignored, to simplify the
function interface.

Move the documentation from Documentation/technical/api-remote.txt to
remote.h and refspec.h as it's easier for the developers to find the usage
information beside the code instead of looking for it in another doc file.
N.B. The doc for both push and fetch members of the remote struct aren't
moved because they are out of date, as the members were changed from arrays
of rspecs to struct refspec 2 years ago.
Also documentation/technical/api-remote.txt is removed because the
information it has is now redundant and it'll be hard to keep it up to
date and synchronized with the documentation in the header file.

Mechanically and systematically drop "extern" from function

* dr/ref-filter-push-track-fix:
ref-filter: use correct branch for %(push:track)
In previous patches, extern was mechanically removed from function
declarations without care to formatting, causing parameter lists to be
misaligned. Manually format changed sections such that the parameter
lists should be realigned.
Viewing this patch with 'git diff -w' should produce no output.

There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations.
Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are
caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with
processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern`
declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch.
This was the Coccinelle patch used:
@@
type T;
identifier f;
@@
- extern
T f(...);
and it was run with:
$ git ls-files \*.{c,h} |
grep -v ^compat/ |
xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place
Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly
copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much
as possible.

In ref-filter.c, when processing the atom %(push:track), the
ahead/behind values are computed using `stat_tracking_info` which refers
to the upstream branch.
Fix that by introducing a new flag `for_push` in `stat_tracking_info`
in remote.c, which does the same thing but for the push branch.
Update the few callers of `stat_tracking_info` to handle this flag. This
ensure that whenever we use this function in the future, we are careful
to specify is this should apply to the upstream or the push branch.
This bug was not detected in t/t6300-for-each-ref.sh because in the test
for push:track, both the upstream and the push branches were behind by 1
from the local branch. Change the test so that the upstream branch is
behind by 1 while the push branch is ahead by 1. This allows us to test
that %(push:track) refers to the correct branch.
This changes the expected value of some following tests (by introducing
new references), so update them too.
