Jeff King 370e5ad65e create_symref: use existing ref-lock code
The create_symref() function predates the existence of
"struct lock_file", let alone the more recent "struct
ref_lock". Instead, it just does its own manual dot-locking.
Besides being more code, this has a few downsides:

 - if git is interrupted while holding the lock, we don't
   clean up the lockfile

 - we don't do the usual directory/filename conflict check.
   So you can sometimes create a symref "refs/heads/foo/bar",
   even if "refs/heads/foo" exists (namely, if the refs are
   packed and we do not hit the d/f conflict in the
   filesystem).

This patch refactors create_symref() to use the "struct
ref_lock" interface, which handles both of these things.
There are a few bonus cleanups that come along with it:

 - we leaked ref_path in some error cases

 - the symref contents were stored in a fixed-size buffer,
   putting an artificial (albeit large) limitation on the
   length of the refname. We now write through fprintf, and
   handle refnames of any size.

 - we called adjust_shared_perm only after the file was
   renamed into place, creating a potential race with
   readers in a shared repository. The lockfile code now
   handles this when creating the lockfile, making it
   atomic.

 - the legacy prefer_symlink_refs path did not do any
   locking at all. Admittedly, it is not atomic from a
   reader's perspective (as it unlinks and re-creates the
   symlink to overwrite), but at least it cannot conflict
   with other writers now.

 - the result of this patch is hopefully more readable. It
   eliminates three goto labels. Two were for error checking
   that is now simplified, and the third was to reach shared
   code that has been pulled into its own function.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	Git - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list.  The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
