/*
* Resolve a reference, recursively following symbolic refererences.
*
* Return the name of the non-symbolic reference that ultimately pointed
* at the resolved object name. The return value, if not NULL, is a
* pointer into either a static buffer or the input ref.
*
* If oid is non-NULL, store the referred-to object's name in it.
*
* If the reference cannot be resolved to an object, the behavior
* depends on the RESOLVE_REF_READING flag:
*
* - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is set, return NULL.
*
* - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is not set, clear oid and return the name of
* the last reference name in the chain, which will either be a non-symbolic
* reference or an undefined reference. If this is a prelude to
* "writing" to the ref, the return value is the name of the ref
* that will actually be created or changed.
*
* If the RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE flag is passed, only resolves one
* level of symbolic reference. The value stored in oid for a symbolic
* reference will always be null_oid in this case, and the return
* value is the reference that the symref refers to directly.
*
* If flags is non-NULL, set the value that it points to the
* combination of REF_ISPACKED (if the reference was found among the
* packed references), REF_ISSYMREF (if the initial reference was a
* symbolic reference), REF_BAD_NAME (if the reference name is ill
* formed --- see RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME below), and REF_ISBROKEN
* (if the ref is malformed or has a bad name). See refs.h for more detail
* on each flag.
*
* If ref is not a properly-formatted, normalized reference, return
* NULL. If more than MAXDEPTH recursive symbolic lookups are needed,
* give up and return NULL.
*
* RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME allows resolving refs even when their
* name is invalid according to git-check-ref-format(1). If the name
* is bad then the value stored in oid will be null_oid and the two
* flags REF_ISBROKEN and REF_BAD_NAME will be set.
*
* Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, names that escape the refs/
* directory and do not consist of all caps and underscores cannot be
* resolved. The function returns NULL for such ref names.
* Caps and underscores refers to the special refs, such as HEAD,
* FETCH_HEAD and friends, that all live outside of the refs/ directory.

refs: switch peel_ref() to peel_iterated_oid() The peel_ref() interface is confusing and error-prone: - it's typically used by ref iteration callbacks that have both a refname and oid. But since they pass only the refname, we may load the ref value from the filesystem again. This is inefficient, but also means we are open to a race if somebody simultaneously updates the ref. E.g., this: int some_ref_cb(const char *refname, const struct object_id *oid, ...) { if (!peel_ref(refname, &peeled)) printf("%s peels to %s", oid_to_hex(oid), oid_to_hex(&peeled); } could print nonsense. It is correct to say "refname peels to..." (you may see the "before" value or the "after" value, either of which is consistent), but mentioning both oids may be mixing before/after values. Worse, whether this is possible depends on whether the optimization to read from the current iterator value kicks in. So it is actually not possible with: for_each_ref(some_ref_cb); but it _is_ possible with: head_ref(some_ref_cb); which does not use the iterator mechanism (though in practice, HEAD should never peel to anything, so this may not be triggerable). - it must take a fully-qualified refname for the read_ref_full() code path to work. Yet we routinely pass it partial refnames from callbacks to for_each_tag_ref(), etc. This happens to work when iterating because there we do not call read_ref_full() at all, and only use the passed refname to check if it is the same as the iterator. But the requirements for the function parameters are quite unclear. Instead of taking a refname, let's instead take an oid. That fixes both problems. It's a little funny for a "ref" function not to involve refs at all. The key thing is that it's optimizing under the hood based on having access to the ref iterator. So let's change the name to make it clear why you'd want this function versus just peel_object(). There are two other directions I considered but rejected: - we could pass the peel information into the each_ref_fn callback. However, we don't know if the caller actually wants it or not. For packed-refs, providing it is essentially free. But for loose refs, we actually have to peel the object, which would be wasteful in most cases. We could likewise pass in a flag to the callback indicating whether the peeled information is known, but that complicates those callbacks, as they then have to decide whether to manually peel themselves. Plus it requires changing the interface of every callback, whether they care about peeling or not, and there are many of them. - we could make a function to return the peeled value of the current iterated ref (computing it if necessary), and BUG() otherwise. I.e.: int peel_current_iterated_ref(struct object_id *out); Each of the current callers is an each_ref_fn callback, so they'd mostly be happy. But: - we use those callbacks with functions like head_ref(), which do not use the iteration code. So we'd need to handle the fallback case there, anyway. - it's possible that a caller would want to call into generic code that sometimes is used during iteration and sometimes not. This encapsulates the logic to do the fast thing when possible, and fallback when necessary. The implementation is mostly obvious, but I want to call out a few things in the patch: - the test-tool coverage for peel_ref() is now meaningless, as it all collapses to a single peel_object() call (arguably they were pretty uninteresting before; the tricky part of that function is the fast-path we see during iteration, but these calls didn't trigger that). I've just dropped it entirely, though note that some other tests relied on the tags we created; I've moved that creation to the tests where it matters. - we no longer need to take a ref_store parameter, since we'd never look up a ref now. We do still rely on a global "current iterator" variable which _could_ be kept per-ref-store. But in practice this is only useful if there are multiple recursive iterations, at which point the more appropriate solution is probably a stack of iterators. No caller used the actual ref-store parameter anyway (they all call the wrapper that passes the_repository). - the original only kicked in the optimization when the "refname" pointer matched (i.e., not string comparison). We do likewise with the "oid" parameter here, but fall back to doing an actual oideq() call. This in theory lets us kick in the optimization more often, though in practice no current caller cares. It should never be wrong, though (peeling is a property of an object, so two refs pointing to the same object would peel identically). - the original took care not to touch the peeled out-parameter unless we found something to put in it. But no caller cares about this, and anyway, it is enforced by peel_object() itself (and even in the optimized iterator case, that's where we eventually end up).

argv-array: rename to strvec 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.

* A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that

*
* Calling sequence
* ----------------
*
* - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
* `ref_transaction_begin()`.
*
* - Specify the intended ref updates by calling one or more of the
* following functions:
* - `ref_transaction_update()`
* - `ref_transaction_create()`
* - `ref_transaction_delete()`
* - `ref_transaction_verify()`
*
* - Then either:
*
* - Optionally call `ref_transaction_prepare()` to prepare the
* transaction. This locks all references, checks preconditions,
* etc. but doesn't finalize anything. If this step fails, the
* transaction has been closed and can only be freed. If this step
* succeeds, then `ref_transaction_commit()` is almost certain to
* succeed. However, you can still call `ref_transaction_abort()`
* if you decide not to commit the transaction after all.
*
* - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction,
* make the changes permanent, and release all locks. If you
* haven't already called `ref_transaction_prepare()`, then
* `ref_transaction_commit()` calls it for you.
*
* Or
*
* - Call `initial_ref_transaction_commit()` if the ref database is
* known to be empty and have no other writers (e.g. during
* clone). This is likely to be much faster than
* `ref_transaction_commit()`. `ref_transaction_prepare()` should
* *not* be called before `initial_ref_transaction_commit()`.
*
* - Then finally, call `ref_transaction_free()` to free the
* `ref_transaction` data structure.
*
* At any time before calling `ref_transaction_commit()`, you can call
* `ref_transaction_abort()` to abort the transaction, rollback any
* locks, and free any associated resources (including the
* `ref_transaction` data structure).
*
* Putting it all together, a complete reference update looks like
*
* struct ref_transaction *transaction;
* struct strbuf err = STRBUF_INIT;
* int ret = 0;
*
* transaction = ref_store_transaction_begin(refs, &err);
* if (!transaction ||
* ref_transaction_update(...) ||
* ref_transaction_create(...) ||
* ...etc... ||
* ref_transaction_commit(transaction, &err)) {
* error("%s", err.buf);
* ret = -1;
* }
* ref_transaction_free(transaction);
* strbuf_release(&err);
* return ret;
*
* Error handling
* --------------
*
* On error, transaction functions append a message about what
* went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
* ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
* can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
*
* The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
* err will not be '\n' terminated.
*
* Caveats
* -------
*
* Note that no locks are taken, and no refs are read, until
* `ref_transaction_prepare()` or `ref_transaction_commit()` is
* called. So, for example, `ref_transaction_verify()` won't report a
* verification failure until the commit is attempted.

refs: introduce an iterator interface Currently, the API for iterating over references is via a family of for_each_ref()-type functions that invoke a callback function for each selected reference. All of these eventually call do_for_each_ref(), which knows how to do one thing: iterate in parallel through two ref_caches, one for loose and one for packed refs, giving loose references precedence over packed refs. This is rather complicated code, and is quite specialized to the files backend. It also requires callers to encapsulate their work into a callback function, which often means that they have to define and use a "cb_data" struct to manage their context. The current design is already bursting at the seams, and will become even more awkward in the upcoming world of multiple reference storage backends: * Per-worktree vs. shared references are currently handled via a kludge in git_path() rather than iterating over each part of the reference namespace separately and merging the results. This kludge will cease to work when we have multiple reference storage backends. * The current scheme is inflexible. What if we sometimes want to bypass the ref_cache, or use it only for packed or only for loose refs? What if we want to store symbolic refs in one type of storage backend and non-symbolic ones in another? In the future, each reference backend will need to define its own way of iterating over references. The crux of the problem with the current design is that it is impossible to compose for_each_ref()-style iterations, because the flow of control is owned by the for_each_ref() function. There is nothing that a caller can do but iterate through all references in a single burst, so there is no way for it to interleave references from multiple backends and present the result to the rest of the world as a single compound backend. This commit introduces a new iteration primitive for references: a ref_iterator. A ref_iterator is a polymorphic object that a reference storage backend can be asked to instantiate. There are three functions that can be applied to a ref_iterator: * ref_iterator_advance(): move to the next reference in the iteration * ref_iterator_abort(): end the iteration before it is exhausted * ref_iterator_peel(): peel the reference currently being looked at Iterating using a ref_iterator leaves the flow of control in the hands of the caller, which means that ref_iterators from multiple sources (e.g., loose and packed refs) can be composed and presented to the world as a single compound ref_iterator. It also means that the backend code for implementing reference iteration will sometimes be more complicated. For example, the cache_ref_iterator (which iterates over a ref_cache) can't use the C stack to recurse; instead, it must manage its own stack internally as explicit data structures. There is also a lot of boilerplate connected with object-oriented programming in C. Eventually, end-user callers will be able to be written in a more natural way—managing their own flow of control rather than having to work via callbacks. Since there will only be a few reference backends but there are many consumers of this API, this is a good tradeoff. More importantly, we gain composability, and especially the possibility of writing interchangeable parts that can work with any ref_iterator. For example, merge_ref_iterator implements a generic way of merging the contents of any two ref_iterators. It is used to merge loose + packed refs as part of the implementation of the files_ref_iterator. But it will also be possible to use it to merge other pairs of reference sources (e.g., per-worktree vs. shared refs). Another example is prefix_ref_iterator, which can be used to trim a prefix off the front of reference names before presenting them to the caller (e.g., "refs/heads/master" -> "master"). In this patch, we introduce the iterator abstraction and many utilities, and implement a reference iterator for the files ref storage backend. (I've written several other obvious utilities, for example a generic way to filter references being iterated over. These will probably be useful in the future. But they are not needed for this patch series, so I am not including them at this time.) In a moment we will rewrite do_for_each_ref() to work via reference iterators (allowing some special-purpose code to be discarded), and do something similar for reflogs. In future patch series, we will expose the ref_iterator abstraction in the public refs API so that callers can use it directly. Implementation note: I tried abstracting this a layer further to allow generic iterators (over arbitrary types of objects) and generic utilities like a generic merge_iterator. But the implementation in C was very cumbersome, involving (in my opinion) too much boilerplate and too much unsafe casting, some of which would have had to be done on the caller side. However, I did put a few iterator-related constants in a top-level header file, iterator.h, as they will be useful in a moment to implement iteration over directory trees and possibly other types of iterators in the future.

So allow "branch --list" to show these refs and allow "branch -d/-D" and "update-ref -d" to delete them. Other commands (for example to rename refs) will continue to not handle these refs but can be changed in later patches. Details: In resolving functions, refuse to resolve refs that don't pass the git-check-ref-format(1) check unless the new RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME flag is passed. Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, refuse to resolve refs that escape the refs/ directory and do not match the pattern [A-Z_]* (think "HEAD" and "MERGE_HEAD"). In locking functions, refuse to act on badly named refs unless they are being deleted and either are in the refs/ directory or match [A-Z_]*. Just like other invalid refs, flag resolved, badly named refs with the REF_ISBROKEN flag, treat them as resolving to null_sha1, and skip them in all iteration functions except for for_each_rawref. Flag badly named refs (but not symrefs pointing to badly named refs) with a REF_BAD_NAME flag to make it easier for future callers to notice and handle them specially. For example, in a later patch for-each-ref will use this flag to detect refs whose names can confuse callers parsing for-each-ref output. In the transaction API, refuse to create or update badly named refs, but allow deleting them (unless they try to escape refs/ and don't match [A-Z_]*).

Making that easier will make it easier to tweak the ref naming rules in the future, for example to forbid shell metacharacters like '`' and '"', without putting people in a state that is hard to get out of. So allow "branch --list" to show these refs and allow "branch -d/-D" and "update-ref -d" to delete them. Other commands (for example to rename refs) will continue to not handle these refs but can be changed in later patches. Details: In resolving functions, refuse to resolve refs that don't pass the git-check-ref-format(1) check unless the new RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME flag is passed. Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, refuse to resolve refs that escape the refs/ directory and do not match the pattern [A-Z_]* (think "HEAD" and "MERGE_HEAD"). In locking functions, refuse to act on badly named refs unless they are being deleted and either are in the refs/ directory or match [A-Z_]*. Just like other invalid refs, flag resolved, badly named refs with the REF_ISBROKEN flag, treat them as resolving to null_sha1, and skip them in all iteration functions except for for_each_rawref. Flag badly named refs (but not symrefs pointing to badly named refs) with a REF_BAD_NAME flag to make it easier for future callers to notice and handle them specially. For example, in a later patch for-each-ref will use this flag to detect refs whose names can confuse callers parsing for-each-ref output. In the transaction API, refuse to create or update badly named refs, but allow deleting them (unless they try to escape refs/ and don't match [A-Z_]*).

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.

log: add option to choose which refs to decorate When `log --decorate` is used, git will decorate commits with all available refs. While in most cases this may give the desired effect, under some conditions it can lead to excessively verbose output. Introduce two command line options, `--decorate-refs=<pattern>` and `--decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>` to allow the user to select which refs are used in decoration. When "--decorate-refs=<pattern>" is given, only the refs that match the pattern are used in decoration. The refs that match the pattern when "--decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>" is given, are never used in decoration. These options follow the same convention for mixing negative and positive patterns across the system, assuming that the inclusive default is to match all refs available. (1) if there is no positive pattern given, pretend as if an inclusive default positive pattern was given; (2) for each candidate, reject it if it matches no positive pattern, or if it matches any one of the negative patterns. The rules for what is considered a match are slightly different from the rules used elsewhere. Commands like `log --glob` assume a trailing '/*' when glob chars are not present in the pattern. This makes it difficult to specify a single ref. On the other hand, commands like `describe --match --all` allow specifying exact refs, but do not have the convenience of allowing "shorthand refs" like 'refs/heads' or 'heads' to refer to 'refs/heads/*'. The commands introduced in this patch consider a match if: (a) the pattern contains globs chars, and regular pattern matching returns a match. (b) the pattern does not contain glob chars, and ref '<pattern>' exists, or if ref exists under '<pattern>/' This allows both behaviours (allowing single refs and shorthand refs) yet remaining compatible with existent commands.

branch: add a --copy (-c) option to go with --move (-m) Add the ability to --copy a branch and its reflog and configuration, this uses the same underlying machinery as the --move (-m) option except the reflog and configuration is copied instead of being moved. This is useful for e.g. copying a topic branch to a new version, e.g. work to work-2 after submitting the work topic to the list, while preserving all the tracking info and other configuration that goes with the branch, and unlike --move keeping the other already-submitted branch around for reference. Like --move, when the source branch is the currently checked out branch the HEAD is moved to the destination branch. In the case of --move we don't really have a choice (other than remaining on a detached HEAD) and in order to keep the functionality consistent, we are doing it in similar way for --copy too. The most common usage of this feature is expected to be moving to a new topic branch which is a copy of the current one, in that case moving to the target branch is what the user wants, and doesn't unexpectedly behave differently than --move would. One outstanding caveat of this implementation is that: git checkout maint && git checkout master && git branch -c topic && git checkout - Will check out 'maint' instead of 'master'. This is because the @{-N} feature (or its -1 shorthand "-") relies on HEAD reflogs created by the checkout command, so in this case we'll checkout maint instead of master, as the user might expect. What to do about that is left to a future change.

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. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

enum ref_type {
refs: new ref types to make per-worktree refs visible to all worktrees One of the problems with multiple worktree is accessing per-worktree refs of one worktree from another worktree. This was sort of solved by multiple ref store, where the code can open the ref store of another worktree and has access to the ref space of that worktree. The problem with this is reporting. "HEAD" in another ref space is also called "HEAD" like in the current ref space. In order to differentiate them, all the code must somehow carry the ref store around and print something like "HEAD from this ref store". But that is not feasible (or possible with a _lot_ of work). With the current design, we pass a reference around as a string (so called "refname"). Extending this design to pass a string _and_ a ref store is a nightmare, especially when handling extended SHA-1 syntax. So we do it another way. Instead of entering a separate ref space, we make refs from other worktrees available in the current ref space. So "HEAD" is always HEAD of the current worktree, but then we can have "worktrees/blah/HEAD" to denote HEAD from a worktree named "blah". This syntax coincidentally matches the underlying directory structure which makes implementation a bit easier. The main worktree has to be treated specially because well... it's special from the beginning. So HEAD from the main worktree is acccessible via the name "main-worktree/HEAD" instead of "worktrees/main/HEAD" because "main" could be just another secondary worktree. This patch also makes it possible to specify refs from one worktree in another one, e.g. git log worktrees/foo/HEAD Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

/**
* Submodules
* ----------
*
* If you want to iterate the refs of a submodule you first need to add the
* submodules object database. You can do this by a code-snippet like
* this:
*
* const char *path = "path/to/submodule"
* if (add_submodule_odb(path))
* die("Error submodule '%s' not populated.", path);
*
* `add_submodule_odb()` will return zero on success. If you
* do not do this you will get an error for each ref that it does not point
* to a valid object.
*
* Note: As a side-effect of this you cannot safely assume that all
* objects you lookup are available in superproject. All submodule objects
* will be available the same way as the superprojects objects.
*
* Example:
* --------
*
* ----
* static int handle_remote_ref(const char *refname,
* const unsigned char *sha1, int flags, void *cb_data)
* {
* struct strbuf *output = cb_data;
* strbuf_addf(output, "%s\n", refname);
* return 0;
* }
*
