The trailer API takes options via a trailer_opts struct. Some of those
options point to data structures which require extra storage. Those
structures aren't actually embedded in the options struct, but rather we
pass pointers, and the caller is responsible for managing them. This is
a little convoluted, but makes sense since some of them are not even
concrete (e.g., you can pass a filter function and a void data pointer,
but the trailer code doesn't even know what's in the pointer).
When for-each-ref, etc, parse the %(trailers) placeholder, they stuff
the extra data into a ref_trailer_buf struct. But we only hold a single
static global instance of this struct. So if a format string has
multiple %(trailer) placeholders, they'll stomp on each other: the "key"
list will end up with entries for all of them, and the separator buffers
will use the values from whichever was parsed last.
Instead, we should have a ref_trailer_buf for each instance of the
placeholder, and store it alongside the trailer_opts in the used_atom
structure.
And that's what this patch does. Note that we also have to add code to
clean them up in ref_array_clear(). The original code did not bother
cleaning them up, but it wasn't technically a "leak" since they were
still reachable from the static global instance.

To expand the "%(trailers)" placeholder, we have to feed the commit or
tag body to the trailer API. But that API doesn't know anything about
signatures, and will be confused by a signed tag like this:
the subject
the body
Some-trailer: foo
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
...etc...
because it will start looking for trailers after the signature, and get
stopped walking backwards by the very non-trailer signature lines. So it
thinks there are no trailers.
This problem has existed since %(trailers) was added to the ref-filter
code, but back then trailers on tags weren't something we really
considered (commits don't have the same problem because their signatures
are embedded in the header). But since 066cef7707 (builtin/tag: add
--trailer option, 2024-05-05), we'd generate an object like the above
for "git tag -s --trailer 'Some-trailer: foo' my-tag".
The implementation here is pretty simple: we just make a NUL-terminated
copy of the non-signature part of the tag (which we've already parsed)
and pass it to the trailer API. There are some alternatives I rejected,
at least for now:
- the trailer code already understands skipping past some cruft at the
end of a commit, such as patch dividers. see find_end_of_log_message().
We could teach it to do the same for signatures. But since this is
the only context where we'd want that feature, and since we've already
parsed the object into subject/body/signature here, it seemed easier
to just pass in the truncated message.
- it would be nice if we could just pass in a pointer/len pair to the
trailer API (rather than a NUL-terminated string) to avoid the extra
copy. I think this is possible, since as noted above, the trailer
code already has to deal with ignoring some cruft at the end of the
input. But after an initial attempt at this, it got pretty messy, as
we have to touch a lot of intermediate functions that are also
called in other contexts.
So I went for the simple and stupid thing, at least for now. I don't
think the extra copy overhead will be all that bad. The previous
patch noted that an extra copy seemed to cause about 1-2% slowdown
for something simple like "%(subject)". But here we are only
triggering it for "%(trailers)" (and only when there is a
signature), and the trailer code is a bit allocation-heavy already.
I couldn't measure any difference formatting "%(trailers)" on
linux.git before and after (even though there are not even any
trailers to find).

When we know we're going to show the subject or body of a tag or commit,
we call find_subpos(), which returns pointers and lengths for the three
parts: subject, body, signature.
Oddly, the function finds the signature twice: once by calling
parse_signature() at the start, which copies the signature into a
separate strbuf, and then again by calling parse_signed_buffer() after
we've parsed past the subject.
This is due to 482c119186 (gpg-interface: improve interface for parsing
tags, 2021-02-11) and 88bce0e24c (ref-filter: hoist signature parsing,
2021-02-11). The idea is that in a multi-hash world, tag signatures may
appear in the header, rather than at the end of the body, in which case
we need to extract them into a separate buffer.
But parse_signature() would never find such a buffer! It only looks for
signature lines (like "-----BEGIN PGP") at the start of each line,
without any header keyword. So this code will never find anything except
the usual in-body signature.
And the extra code has two downsides:
1. We spend time copying the payload and signature into strbufs. That
might even be useful if we ended up with a NUL-terminated copy of
the payload data, but we throw it away immediately. And the
signature, since it comes at the end of the message, is already its
own NUL-terminated buffer.
The overhead isn't huge, but I measured a pretty consistent 1-2%
speedup running "git for-each-ref --format='%(subject)'" with this
patch on a clone of linux.git.
2. The output of find_subpos() is a set of three ptr/len combinations,
but only two of them point into the original buffer. This makes the
interface confusing: you can't do pointer comparisons between them,
and you have to remember to free the signature buffer. Since
there's only one caller, it's not too bad in practice, but it did
bite me while working on the next patch (and simplifying it will
pave the way for that).
In the long run we might have to go back to something like this
approach, if we do have multi-hash header signatures. But I would argue
that the extra buffer should kick in only for a header signature, and be
passed out of find_subpos() separately.

The refs API has been taught to give symref target information to
the users of ref iterators, allowing for-each-ref and friends to
avoid an extra ref_resolve_* API call per a symbolic ref.
* jc/refs-symref-referent:
ref-filter: populate symref from iterator
refs: add referent to each_ref_fn
refs: keep track of unresolved reference value in iterators
The previous change introduced the get_branch_base_for_tip() method in
commit-reach.c. The motivation of that change was about using a heuristic to
deteremine the base branch for a source commit from a list of candidate
commit tips. This change makes that algorithm visible to users via a new
atom in the 'git for-each-ref' format. This change is very similar to the
chang in 49abcd21da (for-each-ref: add ahead-behind format atom,
2023-03-20).
Introduce the 'is-base:<source>' atom, which will indicate that the
algorithm should be computed and the result of the algorithm is reported
using an indicator of the form '(<source>)'. For example, using
'%(is-base:HEAD)' would result in one line having the token '(HEAD)'.
Use the sorted order of refs included in the ref filter to break ties in the
algorithm's heuristic. In the previous change, the motivating examples
include using an L0 trunk, long-lived L1 branches, and temporary release
branches. A caller could communicate the ordered preference among these
categories using the input refpecs and avoiding a different sort mechanism.
This sorting behavior is tested in the test scripts.
It is important to include this atom as a special case to
can_do_iterative_format() to match the expectations created in bd98f9774e
(ref-filter.c: filter & format refs in the same callback, 2023-11-14). The
ahead-behind atom was one of the special cases, and this similarly requires
using an algorithm across all input refs before starting the format of any
single ref.
In the test script, the format tokens use colons or lack whitespace to avoid
Git complaining about trailing whitespace errors.

Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we
slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead,
callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters.
It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this
variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there
is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during
code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the
patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces
that implicitly rely on `the_repository`.
Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code
units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is
to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable
anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes,
be it explicit or implicit
For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as
`the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an
implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at
the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add
guards as required (or even better, just remove them).
Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our
code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins
rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to
their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the
required changes at least a little bit more contained.

The ref-filter interfaces currently define root refs as either a
detached HEAD or a pseudo ref. Pseudo refs aren't root refs though, so
let's properly distinguish those ref types.

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Before this patch series, root refs except for "HEAD" and our special
refs were classified as pseudorefs. Furthermore, our terminology
clarified that pseudorefs must not be symbolic refs. This restriction
is enforced in `is_root_ref()`, which explicitly checks that a supposed
root ref resolves to an object ID without recursing.
This has been extremely confusing right from the start because (in old
terminology) a ref name may sometimes be a pseudoref and sometimes not
depending on whether it is a symbolic or regular ref. This behaviour
does not seem reasonable at all and I very much doubt that it results in
anything sane.
Last but not least, the current behaviour can actually lead to a
segfault when calling `is_root_ref()` with a reference that either does
not exist or that is a symbolic ref because we never initialized `oid`,
but then read it via `is_null_oid()`.
We have now changed terminology to clarify that pseudorefs are really
only "MERGE_HEAD" and "FETCH_HEAD", whereas all the other refs that live
in the root of the ref hierarchy are just plain refs. Thus, we do not
need to check whether the ref is symbolic or not. In fact, we can now
avoid looking up the ref completely as the name is sufficient for us to
figure out whether something would be a root ref or not.
This change of course changes semantics for our callers. As there are
only three of them we can assess each of them individually:
- "ref-filter.c:ref_kind_from_refname()" uses it to classify refs.
It's clear that the intent is to classify based on the ref name,
only.
- "refs/reftable_backend.c:reftable_ref_iterator_advance()" uses it to
filter root refs. Again, using existence checks is pointless here as
the iterator has just surfaced the ref, so we know it does exist.
- "refs/files_backend.c:add_pseudoref_and_head_entries()" uses it to
determine whether it should add a ref to the root directory of its
iterator. This had the effect that we skipped over any files that
are either a symbolic ref, or which are not a ref at all.
The new behaviour is to include symbolic refs know, which aligns us
with the adapted terminology. Furthermore, files which look like
root refs but aren't are now mark those as "broken". As broken refs
are not surfaced by our tooling, this should not lead to a change in
user-visible behaviour, but may cause us to emit warnings. This
feels like the right thing to do as we would otherwise just silently
ignore corrupted root refs completely.
So in all cases the existence check was either superfluous, not in line
with the adapted terminology or masked potential issues. This commit
thus changes the behaviour as proposed and drops the existence check
altogether.
Add a test that verifies that this does not change user-visible
behaviour. Namely, we still don't want to show broken refs to the user
by default in git-for-each-ref(1). What this does allow though is for
internal callers to surface dangling root refs when they pass in the
`DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN` flag.

date_mode_from_type() modifies a static variable and returns a pointer
to it. This is not thread-safe. Most callers of date_mode_from_type()
use it via the macro DATE_MODE and pass its result on to functions like
show_date(), which take a const pointer and don't modify the struct.
Avoid the static storage by putting the variable on the stack and
returning the whole struct date_mode. Change functions that take a
constant pointer to expect the whole struct instead.
Reduce the cost of passing struct date_mode around on 64-bit systems
by reordering its members to close the hole between the 32-bit wide

void format_trailers_from_commit(struct strbuf *out, const char *msg,
const struct process_trailer_options *opts);
and although they are similar enough (even taking the same
process_trailer_options struct pointer) they are used quite differently.
One might intuitively think that format_trailers_from_commit() builds on
top of format_trailers(), but this is not the case. Instead
format_trailers_from_commit() calls format_trailer_info() and
format_trailers() is never called in that codepath.
This is a preparatory refactor to help us deprecate format_trailers() in
favor of format_trailer_info() (at which point we can rename the latter
to the former). When the deprecation is complete, both
format_trailers_from_commit(), and the interpret-trailers builtin will
be able to call into the same helper function (instead of
format_trailers() and format_trailer_info(), respectively). Unifying the
formatters is desirable because it simplifies the API.
Reorder parameters for format_trailers_from_commit() to prefer
const struct process_trailer_options *opts
as the first parameter, because these options are intimately tied to
formatting trailers. And take
struct strbuf *out
last, because it's an "out parameter" (something that the caller wants
to use as the output of this function).
Similarly, reorder parameters for format_trailer_info(), because later
on we will unify the two together.

value rather than by the underlying numeric timestamp. Currently, date
fields are always sorted by timestamp, regardless of whether formatting
information is included in the '--sort' key.
Leaving the default (unformatted) date sorting unchanged, sorting by the
formatted date string adds some flexibility to 'for-each-ref' by allowing
for behavior like "sort by year, then by refname within each year" or "sort
by time of day". Because the inclusion of a format string previously had no
effect on sort behavior, this change likely will not affect existing usage

In most builtins ('rev-parse <revision>^{}', 'show-ref --dereference'),
"dereferencing" a tag refers to a recursive peel of the tag object. Unlike
these cases, the dereferencing prefix ('*') in 'for-each-ref' format
specifiers triggers only a single, non-recursive dereference of a given tag
object. For most annotated tags, a single dereference is all that is needed
to access the tag's associated commit or tree; "recursive" and
"non-recursive" dereferencing are functionally equivalent in these cases.
However, nested tags (annotated tags whose target is another annotated tag)
dereferenced once return another tag, where a recursive dereference would
return the commit or tree.
Currently, if a user wants to filter & format refs and include information
about a recursively-dereferenced tag, they can do so with something like
'cat-file --batch-check':
git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname)^{} %(refname)" <pattern> |
git cat-file --batch-check="%(objectname) %(rest)"
But the combination of commands is inefficient. So, to improve the
performance of this use case and align the defererencing behavior of
'for-each-ref' with that of other commands, update the ref formatting code
to use the peeled tag (from 'peel_iterated_oid()') to populate '*' fields
rather than the tag's immediate target object (from 'get_tagged_oid()').
Additionally, add a test to 't6300-for-each-ref' to verify new nested tag
behavior and update 't6302-for-each-ref-filter.sh' to print the correct
value for nested dereferenced fields.

Update 'filter_and_format_refs()' to try to perform ref filtering &
formatting in a single ref iteration, without an intermediate 'struct
ref_array'. This can only be done if no operations need to be performed on a
pre-filtered array; specifically, if the refs are
- filtered on reachability,
- sorted, or
- formatted with ahead-behind information
they cannot be filtered & formatted in the same iteration. In that case,
fall back on the current filter-then-sort-then-format flow.
This optimization substantially improves memory usage due to no longer
storing a ref array in memory. In some cases, it also dramatically reduces
runtime (e.g. 'git for-each-ref --no-sort --count=1', which no longer loads
all refs into a 'struct ref_array' to printing only the first ref).

* Extract the code to filter a given ref by refname & object ID then create
a new 'struct ref_array_item *' from 'filter_one()' into
'apply_ref_filter()'.
* Extract the code for filter pre-processing, contains cache creation, and
ref iteration from 'filter_refs()' into 'do_filter_refs()'.
In later patches, these helpers will be used by new ref-filter API
functions. This patch does not result in any user-facing behavior changes or
changes to callers outside of 'ref-filter.c'.

Rename 'ref_filter_handler()' to 'filter_one()' to more clearly distinguish
it from other ref filtering callbacks that will be added in later patches.
The "*_one()" naming convention is common throughout the codebase for
iteration callbacks.

Add two new public methods to 'ref-filter.h':
* 'print_formatted_ref_array()' which, given a format specification & array
of ref items, formats and prints the items to stdout.
* 'filter_and_format_refs()' which combines 'filter_refs()',
'ref_array_sort()', and 'print_formatted_ref_array()' into a single
function.
This consolidates much of the code used to filter and format refs in
'builtin/for-each-ref.c', 'builtin/tag.c', and 'builtin/branch.c', reducing
duplication and simplifying the future changes needed to optimize the filter
& format process.

Move the 'contains_cache' and 'no_contains_cache' used in filter_refs into
an 'internal' struct of the 'struct ref_filter'. In later patches, the
'struct ref_filter *' will be a common data structure across multiple
filtering functions. These caches are part of the common functionality the
filter struct will support, so they are updated to be internally accessible
wherever the filter is used.
The design used here mirrors what was introduced in 576de3d956
(unpack_trees: start splitting internal fields from public API, 2023-02-27)
for 'unpack_trees_options'.

When '--no-sort' is passed to 'for-each-ref', 'tag', and 'branch', the
printed refs are still sorted by ascending refname. Change the handling of
sort options in these commands so that '--no-sort' to truly disables
sorting.
'--no-sort' does not disable sorting in these commands is because their
option parsing does not distinguish between "the absence of '--sort'"
(and/or values for tag.sort & branch.sort) and '--no-sort'. Both result in
an empty 'sorting_options' string list, which is parsed by
'ref_sorting_options()' to create the 'struct ref_sorting *' for the
command. If the string list is empty, 'ref_sorting_options()' interprets
that as "the absence of '--sort'" and returns the default ref sorting
structure (equivalent to "refname" sort).
To handle '--no-sort' properly while preserving the "refname" sort in the
"absence of --sort'" case, first explicitly add "refname" to the string list
*before* parsing options. This alone doesn't actually change any behavior,
since 'compare_refs()' already falls back on comparing refnames if two refs
are equal w.r.t all other sort keys.
Now that the string list is populated by default, '--no-sort' is the only
way to empty the 'sorting_options' string list. Update
'ref_sorting_options()' to return a NULL 'struct ref_sorting *' if the
string list is empty, and add a condition to 'ref_array_sort()' to skip the
sort altogether if the sort structure is NULL. Note that other functions
using 'struct ref_sorting *' do not need any changes because they already
ignore NULL values.
Finally, remove the condition around sorting in 'ls-remote', since it's no
longer necessary. Unlike 'for-each-ref' et. al., it does *not* do any
sorting by default. This default is preserved by simply leaving its sort key
string list empty before parsing options; if no additional sort keys are
set, 'struct ref_sorting *' is NULL and sorting is skipped.

In 83c750acde (wt-status.*: better advice for git status added,
2012-06-05), git-status received new informative messages to describe
the ongoing work in a worktree.
These messages were enhanced in 0722c805d6 (status: show the branch name
if possible in in-progress info, 2013-02-03), to show, if possible, the
branch where the operation was initiated.
Since then, we show incorrect information when several operations are in
progress and one of them is bisect:
$ git checkout -b foo
$ GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR='echo break >' git rebase -i HEAD~
$ git checkout -b bar
$ git bisect start
$ git status
...
You are currently editing a commit while rebasing branch 'bar' on '...'.
You are currently bisecting, started from branch 'bar'.
...
Note that we erroneously say "while rebasing branch 'bar'" when we
should be referring to "foo".
This must have gone unnoticed for so long because it must be unusual to
start a bisection while another operation is in progress. And even less
usual to involve different branches.
It caught my attention reviewing a leak introduced in 8b87cfd000
(wt-status: move strbuf into read_and_strip_branch(), 2013-03-16).
A simple change to deal with this situation can be to record in struct
wt_status_state, the branch where the bisect starts separately from the
branch related to other operations.
Let's do it and so we'll be able to display correct information and
we'll avoid the leak as well.

Add mailmap support to ref-filter formats which are similar in
pretty. This support is such that the following pretty placeholders are
equivalent to the new ref-filter atoms:
%aN = authorname:mailmap
%cN = committername:mailmap
%aE = authoremail:mailmap
%aL = authoremail:mailmap,localpart
%cE = committeremail:mailmap
%cL = committeremail:mailmap,localpart
Additionally, mailmap can also be used with ":trim" option for email by
doing something like "authoremail:mailmap,trim".
The above also applies for the "tagger" atom, that is,
"taggername:mailmap", "taggeremail:mailmap", "taggeremail:mailmap,trim"
and "taggername:mailmap,localpart".
The functionality of ":trim" and ":localpart" remains the same. That is,
":trim" gives the email, but without the angle brackets and ":localpart"
gives the part of the email before the '@' character (if such a
character is not found then we directly grab everything between the
angle brackets).

"git for-each-ref --sort='contents:size'" sorts the refs according
to size numerically, giving a ref that points at a blob twelve-byte
(12) long before showing a blob hundred-byte (100) long.
* ks/ref-filter-sort-numerically:
ref-filter: sort numerically when ":size" is used
Atoms like "raw" and "contents" have a ":size" option which can be used
to know the size of the data. Since these atoms have the cmp_type
FIELD_STR, they are sorted alphabetically from 'a' to 'z' and '0' to
'9'. Meaning, even when the ":size" option is used and what we
ultimatlely have is numbers, we still sort alphabetically.
For example, consider the the following case in a repo
refname contents:size raw:size
======= ============= ========
refs/heads/branch1 1130 1210
refs/heads/master 300 410
refs/tags/v1.0 140 260
Sorting with "--format="%(refname) %(contents:size) --sort=contents:size"
would give
refs/heads/branch1 1130
refs/tags/v1.0.0 140
refs/heads/master 300
which is an alphabetic sort, while what one might really expect is
refs/tags/v1.0.0 140
refs/heads/master 300
refs/heads/branch1 1130
which is a numeric sort (that is, a "$ sort -n file" as opposed to a
"$ sort file", where "file" contains only the "contents:size" or
"raw:size" info, each of which is on a newline).
Same is the case with "--sort=raw:size".
So, sort numerically whenever the sort is done with "contents:size" or
"raw:size" and do it the normal alphabetic way when "contents" or "raw"
are used with some other option (they are FIELD_STR anyways).

These are similar to the cases annotated in 5fe9e1ce2f (ref-filter: mark
unused callback parameters, 2023-02-24), but were added after that
commit.
Note that the ahead/behind callback ignores its "atom" parameter, which
is a little unusual, since that struct usually stores the result. But in
this case, the data is stored centrally in ref_array->counts, since we
want to compute all ahead/behinds at once, not per ref.

"git branch --list --format=<format>" and friends are taught
a new "%(describe)" placeholder.
* ks/ref-filter-describe:
ref-filter: add new "describe" atom
ref-filter: add multiple-option parsing functions
"git tag --list --points-at X" showed tags that directly refers to
object X, but did not list a tag that points at such a tag, which
has been corrected.
* jk/nested-points-at:
ref-filter: simplify return type of match_points_at
ref-filter: avoid parsing non-tags in match_points_at()
ref-filter: avoid parsing tagged objects in match_points_at()
ref-filter: handle nested tags in --points-at option
Duplicate the logic of %(describe) and friends from pretty to
ref-filter. In the future, this change helps in unifying both the
formats as ref-filter will be able to do everything that pretty is doing
and we can have a single interface.
The new atom "describe" and its friends are equivalent to the existing
pretty formats with the same name.

The functions
match_placeholder_arg_value()
match_placeholder_bool_arg()
were added in pretty 4f732e0fd7 (pretty: allow %(trailers) options
with explicit value, 2019-01-29) to parse multiple options in an
argument to --pretty. For example,
git log --pretty="%(trailers:key=Signed-Off-By,separator=%x2C )"
will output all the trailers matching the key and seperates them by
a comma followed by a space per commit.
Add similar functions,
match_atom_arg_value()
match_atom_bool_arg()
in ref-filter.
There is no atom yet that can use these functions in ref-filter, but we
are going to add a new %(describe) atom in a subsequent commit where we
parse options like tags=<bool-value> or match=<pattern> given to it.

Enumerating refs in the packed-refs file, while excluding refs that
match certain patterns, has been optimized.
* tb/refs-exclusion-and-packed-refs:
ls-refs.c: avoid enumerating hidden refs where possible
upload-pack.c: avoid enumerating hidden refs where possible
builtin/receive-pack.c: avoid enumerating hidden references
refs.h: implement `hidden_refs_to_excludes()`
refs.h: let `for_each_namespaced_ref()` take excluded patterns
revision.h: store hidden refs in a `strvec`
refs/packed-backend.c: add trace2 counters for jump list
refs/packed-backend.c: implement jump lists to avoid excluded pattern(s)
refs/packed-backend.c: refactor `find_reference_location()`
refs: plumb `exclude_patterns` argument throughout
builtin/for-each-ref.c: add `--exclude` option
ref-filter.c: parameterize match functions over patterns
ref-filter: add `ref_filter_clear()`
ref-filter: clear reachable list pointers after freeing
ref-filter.h: provide `REF_FILTER_INIT`
refs.c: rename `ref_filter`
We return the oid that matched, but the sole caller only cares whether
we matched anything at all. This is mostly academic, since there's only
one caller, but the lifetime of the returned pointer is not immediately
clear. Sometimes it points to an oid in a tag struct, which should live
forever. And sometimes to the oid passed in, which only lives as long as
the each_ref_fn callback we're called from.
Simplify this to a boolean return which is more direct and obvious. As a
bonus, this lets us avoid the weird pattern of overwriting our "oid"
parameter in the loop (since we now only refer to the tagged oid one
time, and can just inline the call to get it).
