Add 'symref-update' command to the '--stdin' mode of 'git-update-ref' to
allow updates of symbolic refs. The 'symref-update' command takes in a
<new-target>, which the <ref> will be updated to. If the <ref> doesn't
exist it will be created.
It also optionally takes either an `ref <old-target>` or `oid
<old-oid>`. If the <old-target> is provided, it checks to see if the
<ref> targets the <old-target> before the update. If <old-oid> is provided
it checks <ref> to ensure that it is a regular ref and <old-oid> is the
OID before the update. This by extension also means that this when a
zero <old-oid> is provided, it ensures that the ref didn't exist before.
The divergence in syntax from the regular `update` command is because if
we don't use a `(ref | oid)` prefix for the old_value, then there is
ambiguity around if the value provided should be treated as an oid or a
reference. This is more so the reason, because we allow anything
committish to be provided as an oid. While 'symref-verify' and
'symref-delete' also take in `<old-target>` we do not have this
divergence there as those commands only work with symrefs. Whereas
'symref-update' also works with regular refs and allows users to convert
regular refs to symrefs.
The command allows users to perform symbolic ref updates within a
transaction. This provides atomicity and allows users to perform a set
of operations together.
This command supports deref mode, to ensure that we can update
dereferenced regular refs to symrefs.

Also, support the 'core.prefersymlinkrefs' config, wherein if the config

Add a new command 'symref-delete' to allow deletions of symbolic refs in
a transaction via the '--stdin' mode of the 'git-update-ref' command.
The 'symref-delete' command can, when given an <old-target>, delete the
provided <ref> only when it points to <old-target>.
This command is only compatible with the 'no-deref' mode because we
optionally want to check the 'old_target' of the ref being deleted.
De-referencing a symbolic ref would provide a regular ref and we already
have the 'delete' command for regular refs.
While users can also use 'git symbolic-ref -d' to delete symbolic refs,
the 'symref-delete' command in 'git-update-ref' allows users to do so
within a transaction, which promises atomicity of the operation and can
be batched with other commands.
When no 'old_target' is provided it can also delete regular refs,
similar to how the 'delete' command can delete symrefs when no 'old_oid'
is provided.

The 'symref-verify' command allows users to verify if a provided <ref>
contains the provided <old-target> without changing the <ref>. If
<old-target> is not provided, the command will verify that the <ref>
doesn't exist.
The command allows users to verify symbolic refs within a transaction,
and this means users can perform a set of changes in a transaction only
when the verification holds good.
Since we're checking for symbolic refs, this command will only work with
the 'no-deref' mode. This is because any dereferenced symbolic ref will
point to an object and not a ref and the regular 'verify' command can be
used in such situations.
Add required tests for symref support in 'verify'. Since we're here,
also add reflog checks for the pre-existing 'verify' tests, there is no
divergence from behavior, but we never tested to ensure that reflog
wasn't affected by the 'verify' command.

The function `ref_transaction_update()` obtains ref information and
flags to create a `ref_update` and add them to the transaction at hand.
To extend symref support in transactions, we need to also accept the
old and new ref targets and process it. This commit adds the required
parameters to the function and modifies all call sites.
The two parameters added are `new_target` and `old_target`. The
`new_target` is used to denote what the reference should point to when
the transaction is applied. Some functions allow this parameter to be
NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed.
The `old_target` denotes the value the reference must have before the
update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL, meaning that the
old value of the reference is not checked.
We also update the internal function `ref_transaction_add_update()`
similarly to take the two new parameters.

hash.h depends upon and includes repository.h, due to the definition and

depend upon repository.h into a new file hash-ll.h (the "low level"
parts of hash.h), and adjust other files to use this new header where
the convenience inline functions aren't needed.
This allows hash.h and object.h to be fairly small, minimal headers. It
also exposes a lot of hidden dependencies on both path.h (which was

When executing git-update-ref(1) with the `--stdin` flag, then the user

The git-update-ref(1) command can only handle queueing transactions
right now via its "--stdin" parameter, but there is no way for users to
handle the transaction itself in a more explicit way. E.g. in a
replicated scenario, one may imagine a coordinator that spawns
git-update-ref(1) for multiple repositories and only if all agree that
an update is possible will the coordinator send a commit. Such a
transactional session could look like
> start
< start: ok
> update refs/heads/master $OLD $NEW
> prepare
< prepare: ok
# All nodes have returned "ok"
> commit
< commit: ok
or
> start
< start: ok
> create refs/heads/master $OLD $NEW
> prepare
< fatal: cannot lock ref 'refs/heads/master': reference already exists
# On all other nodes:
> abort
< abort: ok
In order to allow for such transactional sessions, this commit
introduces four new commands for git-update-ref(1), which matches those
we have internally already with the exception of "start":
- start: start a new transaction
- prepare: prepare the transaction, that is try to lock all
references and verify their current value matches the
expected one
- commit: explicitly commit a session, that is update references to
match their new expected state
- abort: abort a session and roll back all changes
By design, git-update-ref(1) will commit as soon as standard input is
being closed. While fine in a non-transactional world, it is definitely
unexpected in a transactional world. Because of this, as soon as any of
the new transactional commands is used, the default will change to
aborting without an explicit "commit". To avoid a race between queueing
updates and the first "prepare" that starts a transaction, the "start"
command has been added to start an explicit transaction.
Add some tests to exercise this new functionality.

The git-update-ref(1) supports a `--stdin` mode that allows it to read
all reference updates from standard input. This is mainly used to allow
for atomic reference updates that are all or nothing, so that either all
references will get updated or none.
Currently, git-update-ref(1) reads all commands as a single block of up
to 1000 characters and only starts processing after stdin gets closed.
This is less flexible than one might wish for, as it doesn't really
allow for longer-lived transactions and doesn't allow any verification
without committing everything. E.g. one may imagine the following
exchange:
> start
< start: ok
> update refs/heads/master $NEWOID1 $OLDOID1
> update refs/heads/branch $NEWOID2 $OLDOID2
> prepare
< prepare: ok
> commit
< commit: ok
When reading all input as a whole block, the above interactive protocol
is obviously impossible to achieve. But by converting the command to
read commands linewise, we can make it more interactive than before.
Obviously, the linewise interface is only a first step in making
git-update-ref(1) work in a more transaction-oriented way. Missing is
most importantly support for transactional commands that manage the
current transaction.

If passed both --no-deref and --stdin, update-ref would error out with a
general usage message that did not at all suggest these options were
incompatible. The manpage for update-ref did suggest through its
synopsis line that --no-deref and --stdin were incompatible, but it sadly
also incorrectly suggested that -d and --no-deref were incompatible. So
the help around the --no-deref option is buggy in a few ways.
The --stdin option did provide a different mechanism for avoiding
dereferencing symbolic-refs: adding a line reading
option no-deref
before every other directive in the input. (Technically, if the user
wants to do the extra work of first determining which refs they want to
update or delete are symbolic, then they only need to put the extra
"option no-deref" lines before the updates of those refs. But in some
cases, that's more work than just adding the "option no-deref" before
every other directive.)
It's easier to allow the user to just pass --no-deref along with --stdin
in order to tell update-ref that the user doesn't want any symbolic ref
to be dereferenced. It also makes the update-ref documentation simpler.
Implement that, and update the documentation to match.

convention for their old_sha1 parameters:
* old_sha1 == NULL: Don't check the old value at all.
* is_null_sha1(old_sha1): Ensure that the reference didn't exist
before the transaction.
* otherwise: Ensure that the reference had the specified value before
the transaction.
delete_ref() had a different convention, namely treating
is_null_sha1(old_sha1) as "don't care". Change it to adhere to the
standard convention to reduce the scope for confusion.
Please note that it is now a bug to pass old_sha1=NULL_SHA1 to
delete_ref() (because it doesn't make sense to delete a reference that
you already know doesn't exist). This is consistent with the behavior
of ref_transaction_delete().
Most of the callers of delete_ref() never pass old_sha1=NULL_SHA1 to
delete_ref(), and are therefore unaffected by this change. The
two exceptions are:
* The call in cmd_update_ref(), which passed NULL_SHA1 if the old
value passed in on the command line was 0{40} or the empty string.
Change that caller to pass NULL in those cases.
Arguably, it should be an error to call "update-ref -d" with the old
value set to "does not exist", just as it is for the `--stdin`
command "delete". But since this usage was accepted until now,
continue to accept it.
* The call in delete_branches(), which could pass NULL_SHA1 if
deleting a broken or symbolic ref. Change it to pass NULL in these
cases.

Restructure the code to avoid clearing oldsha1 when oldval is unset.
It's value is not needed in that case, so this change makes it more
obvious that its initialization is consistent with its later use.

If NULL is passed to ref_transaction_update()'s new_sha1 parameter,
then just verify old_sha1 (under lock) without trying to change the
new value of the reference.
Use this functionality to add a new function ref_transaction_verify(),
which checks the current value of the reference under lock but doesn't
change it.
Use ref_transaction_verify() in the implementation of "git update-ref
--stdin"'s "verify" command to avoid the awkward need to "update" the
reference to its existing value.

Instead, verify the reference's old value if and only if old_sha1 is
non-NULL.
