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.

fetch-pack: unify ref in and out param When a user fetches: - at least one up-to-date ref and at least one non-up-to-date ref, - using HTTP with protocol v0 (or something else that uses the fetch command of a remote helper) some refs might not be updated after the fetch. This bug was introduced in commit 989b8c4452 ("fetch-pack: put shallow info in output parameter", 2018-06-28) which allowed transports to report the refs that they have fetched in a new out-parameter "fetched_refs". If they do so, transport_fetch_refs() makes this information available to its caller. Users of "fetched_refs" rely on the following 3 properties: (1) it is the complete list of refs that was passed to transport_fetch_refs(), (2) it has shallow information (REF_STATUS_REJECT_SHALLOW set if relevant), and (3) it has updated OIDs if ref-in-want was used (introduced after 989b8c4452). In an effort to satisfy (1), whenever transport_fetch_refs() filters the refs sent to the transport, it re-adds the filtered refs to whatever the transport supplies before returning it to the user. However, the implementation in 989b8c4452 unconditionally re-adds the filtered refs without checking if the transport refrained from reporting anything in "fetched_refs" (which it is allowed to do), resulting in an incomplete list, no longer satisfying (1). An earlier effort to resolve this [1] solved the issue by readding the filtered refs only if the transport did not refrain from reporting in "fetched_refs", but after further discussion, it seems that the better solution is to revert the API change that introduced "fetched_refs". This API change was first suggested as part of a ref-in-want implementation that allowed for ref patterns and, thus, there could be drastic differences between the input refs and the refs actually fetched [2]; we eventually decided to only allow exact ref names, but this API change remained even though its necessity was decreased. Therefore, revert this API change by reverting commit 989b8c4452, and make receive_wanted_refs() update the OIDs in the sought array (like how update_shallow() updates shallow information in the sought array) instead. A test is also included to show that the user-visible bug discussed at the beginning of this commit message no longer exists.
