In a repository with many refs, check_refname_component can be a major
contributor to the runtime of some git commands. One such command is
git rev-parse HEAD
Timings for one particular repo, with about 60k refs, almost all
packed, are:
Old: 35 ms
New: 29 ms
Many other commands which read refs are also sped up.

Build out the API for dealing with a bunch of reference checks and
changes within a transaction. Define an opaque ref_transaction type
that is managed entirely within refs.c. Introduce functions for
beginning a transaction, adding updates to a transaction, and
committing/rolling back a transaction.
This API will soon replace update_refs().

The old signature of update_refs() required a
(const struct ref_update **) for its updates_orig argument. The
"const" is presumably there to promise that the function will not
modify the contents of the structures.
But this declaration does not permit the function to be called with a
(struct ref_update **), which is perfectly legitimate. C's type
system is not powerful enough to express what we'd like. So remove
the first "const" from the declaration.
On the other hand, the function *can* promise not to modify the
pointers within the array that is passed to it without inconveniencing
its callers. So add a "const" that has that effect, making the final
declaration
(struct ref_update * const *).

We invented hashcpy() to keep the abstraction of "object name"
behind it. Use it instead of calling memcpy() with hard-coded
20-byte length when moving object names between pieces of memory.
Leave ppc/sha1.c as-is, because the function is about the SHA-1 hash
algorithm whose output is and will always be 20 bytes.

This doesn't seem to be a likely error, but we've got the counter
anyway, so we might as well use it for an added bit of safety.
Please note that the first call to rename() is optimistic, and it is
normal for it to fail if there is a directory in the way. So bump the
total number of allowed attempts to 4, to be sure that we can still
have at least 3 retries in the case of a race.

If a directory vanishes while renaming the temporary reflog file,
retry (up to 3 times). This could happen if another process deletes
the directory created by safe_create_leading_directories() just before
we rename the file into the directory.
As far as I can tell, this race could not occur internal to git. The
only time that a directory under $GIT_DIR/logs is deleted is if room
has to be made for a log file for a reference with the same name;
for example, in the following sequence:
git branch foo/bar # Creates file .git/logs/refs/heads/foo/bar
git branch -d foo/bar # Deletes file but leaves .git/logs/refs/heads/foo/
git branch foo # Deletes .git/logs/refs/heads/foo/
But the only reason the last command deletes the directory is because
it wants to create a file with the same name. So if another process
(e.g.,
git branch foo/baz
) wants to create that directory, one of the two is doomed to failure
anyway because of a D/F conflict.

If safe_create_leading_directories() fails because a file along the
path unexpectedly vanished, try again (up to 3 times).
This can occur if another process is deleting directories at the same
time as we are trying to make them. For example, "git pack-refs
--all" tries to delete the loose refs and any empty directories that
are left behind. If a pack-refs process is running, then it might
delete a directory that we need to put a new loose reference in.
If safe_create_leading_directories() thinks this might have happened,
then take its advice and try again (maximum three attempts).

We used to use two separate rules for the normal ref resolution
dwimming and dwimming done to decide which remote ref to grab. The
third parameter to refname_match() selected which rules to use.
When these two rules were harmonized in
2011-11-04 dd621df9cd refs DWIMmery: use the same rule for both "git fetch" and others
, ref_fetch_rules was #defined to avoid potential breakages for
in-flight topics.
It is now safe to remove the backwards-compatibility code, so remove
refname_match()'s third parameter, make ref_rev_parse_rules private to
refs.c, and remove ref_fetch_rules entirely.

In shorten_unambiguous_ref, we build and cache a reverse-map of the
rev-parse rules like this:
static char **scanf_fmts;
static int nr_rules;
if (!nr_rules) {
for (; ref_rev_parse_rules[nr_rules]; nr_rules++)
... generate scanf_fmts ...
}
where ref_rev_parse_rules is terminated with a NULL pointer.
Compiling with "gcc -O2 -Wall" does not cause any problems, but
compiling with "-O3 -Wall" generates:
$ make CFLAGS='-O3 -Wall' refs.o
refs.c: In function ‘shorten_unambiguous_ref’:
refs.c:3379:29: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds]
for (; ref_rev_parse_rules[nr_rules]; nr_rules++)
Curiously, we can silence this by explicitly nr_rules to 0
in the beginning of the loop, even though the compiler
should be able to tell that we follow this code path only
when nr_rules is already 0.

Instead of typing four capital letters "HEAD", you can say "@" now,
e.g. "git log @".
* fc/at-head:
Add new @ shortcut for HEAD
sha1-name: pass len argument to interpret_branch_name()
Give "update-refs" a "--stdin" option to read multiple update
requests and perform them in an all-or-none fashion.
* bk/refs-multi-update:
update-ref: add test cases covering --stdin signature
update-ref: support multiple simultaneous updates
refs: add update_refs for multiple simultaneous updates
refs: add function to repack without multiple refs
refs: factor delete_ref loose ref step into a helper
refs: factor update_ref steps into helpers
refs: report ref type from lock_any_ref_for_update
reset: rename update_refs to reset_refs
Typing 'HEAD' is tedious, especially when we can use '@' instead.
The reason for choosing '@' is that it follows naturally from the
ref@op syntax (e.g. HEAD@{u}), except we have no ref, and no
operation, and when we don't have those, it makes sens to assume
'HEAD'.
So now we can use 'git show @~1', and all that goody goodness.
Until now '@' was a valid name, but it conflicts with this idea, so
let's make it invalid. Probably very few people, if any, used this name.

Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force",
by requiring that the overwritten remote ref to be unchanged since
the new history to replace it was prepared.
The machinery is more or less ready. The "--force" option is again
the big red button to override any safety, thanks to J6t's sanity
(the original round allowed --lockref to defeat --force).
The logic to choose the default implemented here is fragile
(e.g. "git fetch" after seeing a failure will update the
remote-tracking branch and will make the next "push" pass,
defeating the safety pretty easily). It is suitable only for the
simplest workflows, and it may hurt users more than it helps them.

cache.h: move remote/connect API out of it
Add 'struct ref_update' to encode the information needed to update or
delete a ref (name, new sha1, optional old sha1, no-deref flag). Add
function 'update_refs' accepting an array of updates to perform. First
sort the input array to order locks consistently everywhere and reject
multiple updates to the same ref. Then acquire locks on all refs with
verified old values. Then update or delete all refs accordingly. Fail
if any one lock cannot be obtained or any one old value does not match.
Though the refs themselves cannot be modified together in a single
atomic transaction, this function does enable some useful semantics.
For example, a caller may create a new branch starting from the head of
another branch and rewind the original branch at the same time. This
transfers ownership of commits between branches without risk of losing
commits added to the original branch by a concurrent process, or risk of
a concurrent process creating the new branch first.

Fix a NULL-pointer dereference during nested iterations over

* mh/packed-refs-do-one-ref-recursion:
do_one_ref(): save and restore value of current_ref
If do_one_ref() is called recursively, then the inner call should not
permanently overwrite the value stored in current_ref by the outer
call. Aside from the tiny optimization loss, peel_ref() expects the
value of current_ref not to change across a call to peel_entry(). But
in the presence of replace references that assumption could be
violated by a recursive call to do_one_ref:
do_for_each_entry()
do_one_ref()
builtin/describe.c:get_name()
peel_ref()
peel_entry()
peel_object ()
deref_tag_noverify()
parse_object()
lookup_replace_object()
do_lookup_replace_object()
prepare_replace_object()
do_for_each_ref()
do_for_each_entry()
do_for_each_entry_in_dir()
do_one_ref()
The inner call to do_one_ref() was unconditionally setting current_ref
to NULL when it was done, causing peel_ref() to perform an invalid
memory access.
So change do_one_ref() to save the old value of current_ref before
overwriting it, and restore the old value afterward rather than
setting it to NULL.

The definition of "struct ref" in "cache.h", a header file so
central to the system, always confused me. This structure is not
about the local ref used by sha1-name API to name local objects.
It is what refspecs are expanded into, after finding out what refs
the other side has, to define what refs are updated after object
transfer succeeds to what values. It belongs to "remote.h" together
with "struct refspec".
While we are at it, also move the types and functions related to the

"git pack-refs" that races with new ref creation or deletion have
been susceptible to lossage of refs under right conditions, which
has been tightened up.
* mh/ref-races:
for_each_ref: load all loose refs before packed refs
get_packed_ref_cache: reload packed-refs file when it changes
add a stat_validity struct
Extract a struct stat_data from cache_entry
packed_ref_cache: increment refcount when locked
do_for_each_entry(): increment the packed refs cache refcount
refs: manage lifetime of packed refs cache via reference counting
refs: implement simple transactions for the packed-refs file
refs: wrap the packed refs cache in a level of indirection
pack_refs(): split creation of packed refs and entry writing
repack_without_ref(): split list curation and entry writing
Now that we keep track of the packed-refs file metadata, we can detect
when the packed-refs file has been modified since we last read it, and
we do so automatically every time that get_packed_ref_cache() is
called. So there is no need to invalidate the cache automatically
when lock_packed_refs() is called; usually the old copy will still be
