029cdb4ab2 refs.c: make prune_ref use a transaction to delete the ref
Change prune_ref to delete the ref using a ref transaction. To do this we also
need to add a new flag REF_ISPRUNING that will tell the transaction that we
do not want to delete this ref from the packed refs. This flag is private to
refs.c and not exposed to external callers.

93a644ea9d refs.c: make ref_transaction_begin take an err argument
Add an err argument to _begin so that on non-fatal failures in future ref
backends we can report a nice error back to the caller.
While _begin can currently never fail for other reasons than OOM, in which
case we die() anyway, we may add other types of backends in the future.
For example, a hypothetical MySQL backend could fail in _begin with
"Can not connect to MySQL server. No route to host".

e6bea66db6 remote prune: optimize "dangling symref" check/warning
When 'git remote prune' was used to delete many refs in a repository
with many refs, a lot of time was spent checking for (now) dangling
symbolic refs pointing to the deleted ref, since warn_dangling_symref()
was once per deleted ref to check all other refs in the repository.

Avoid this using the new warn_dangling_symrefs() function which
makes one pass over all refs and checks for all the deleted refs in
one go, after they have all been deleted.

c9e768bb77 remote: repack packed-refs once when deleting multiple refs
When 'git remote rm' or 'git remote prune' were used in a repository
with many refs, and needed to delete many remote-tracking refs, a lot
of time was spent deleting those refs since for each deleted ref,
repack_without_refs() was called to rewrite packed-refs without just
that deleted ref.

To avoid this, call repack_without_refs() first to repack without all
the refs that will be deleted, before calling delete_ref() to delete
each one completely.  The call to repack_without_ref() in delete_ref()
then becomes a no-op, since packed-refs already won't contain any of
the deleted refs.

4da588357a refs.c: add new functions reflog_exists and delete_reflog
Add two new functions, reflog_exists and delete_reflog, to hide the internal
reflog implementation (that they are files under .git/logs/...) from callers.
Update checkout.c to use these functions in update_refs_for_switch instead of
building pathnames and calling out to file access functions. Update reflog.c
to use these to check if the reflog exists. Now there are still many places
in reflog.c where we are still leaking the reflog storage implementation but
this at least reduces the number of such dependencies by one. Finally
change two places in refs.c itself to use the new function to check if a ref
exists or not isntead of build-path-and-stat(). Now, this is strictly not all
that important since these are in parts of refs that are implementing the
actual file storage backend but on the other hand it will not hurt either.

595deb8da6 update_refs(): fix constness
The old signature of update_refs() required a
(const struct ref_update **) for its updates_orig argument.  The
"const" is presumably there to promise that the function will not
modify the contents of the structures.

But this declaration does not permit the function to be called with a
(struct ref_update **), which is perfectly legitimate.  C's type
system is not powerful enough to express what we'd like.  So remove
the first "const" from the declaration.

On the other hand, the function *can* promise not to modify the
pointers within the array that is passed to it without inconveniencing
its callers.  So add a "const" that has that effect, making the final
declaration
(struct ref_update * const *).

98aee92d5c refs: add update_refs for multiple simultaneous updates
Add 'struct ref_update' to encode the information needed to update or
delete a ref (name, new sha1, optional old sha1, no-deref flag).  Add
function 'update_refs' accepting an array of updates to perform.  First
sort the input array to order locks consistently everywhere and reject
multiple updates to the same ref.  Then acquire locks on all refs with
verified old values.  Then update or delete all refs accordingly.  Fail
if any one lock cannot be obtained or any one old value does not match.

Though the refs themselves cannot be modified together in a single
atomic transaction, this function does enable some useful semantics.
For example, a caller may create a new branch starting from the head of
another branch and rewind the original branch at the same time.  This
transfers ownership of commits between branches without risk of losing
commits added to the original branch by a concurrent process, or risk of
a concurrent process creating the new branch first.

4f78c24c63 refs: document the lifetime of the args passed to each_ref_fn
The lifetime of the memory pointed to by the refname and sha1
arguments to each_ref_fn was never documented, but some callers used
to assume that it was essentially permanent.  In fact the API does
*not* guarantee that these objects live beyond a single callback
invocation.

In the current code, the lifetimes are bound together with the
lifetimes of the ref_caches.  Since these are usually long, the
callers usually got away with their sloppiness.  But even today, if a
ref_cache is invalidated the memory can be freed.  And planned changes
to reference caching, needed to eliminate race conditions, will
probably need to shorten the lifetimes of these objects.

The commits leading up to this have (hopefully) fixed all of the
callers of the for_each_ref()-like functions.  This commit does the
last step: documents what each_ref_fn callbacks can assume about
object lifetimes.

32d462cea8 pack-refs: merge code from pack-refs.{c,h} into refs.{c,h}
pack-refs.c doesn't contain much code, and the code it does contain is
closely related to reference handling.  Moreover, there is some
duplication between pack_refs() and repack_without_ref().  Therefore,
merge pack-refs.c into refs.c and pack-refs.h into refs.h.

The code duplication will be addressed in future commits.

2312a79320 peel_ref(): fix return value for non-peelable, not-current reference
The old version was inconsistent: when a reference was
REF_KNOWS_PEELED but with a null peeled value, it returned non-zero
for the current reference but zero for other references.  Change the
behavior for non-current references to match that of current_ref,
which is what callers expect.  Document the behavior.

Current callers only call peel_ref() from within a for_each_ref-style
iteration and only for the current ref; therefore, the buggy code path
was never reached.

98f85ff4b6 reflog: add for_each_reflog_ent_reverse() API
"git checkout -" is a short-hand for "git checkout @{-1}" and the
"@{nth}" notation for a negative number is to find nth previous
checkout in the reflog of the HEAD to determine the name of the
branch the user was on.  We would want to find the nth most recent
reflog entry that matches "checkout: moving from X to Y" for this.

Unfortunately, reflog is implemented as an append-only file, and the
API to iterate over its entries, for_each_reflog_ent(), reads the
file in order, giving the entries from the oldest to newer.  For the
purpose of finding nth most recent one, this API forces us to record
the last n entries in a rotating buffer and give the result out only
after we read everything.  To optimize for a common case of finding
the nth most recent one for a small value of n, we also have a side
API for_each_recent_reflog_ent() that starts reading near the end of
the file, but it still has to read the entries in the "wrong" order.
The implementation of understanding @{-1} uses this interface.

This all becomes unnecessary if we add an API to let us iterate over
reflog entries in the reverse order, from the newest to older.

daebaa7813 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.

432ad41e60 refs: store references hierarchically
Store references hierarchically in a tree that matches the
pseudo-directory structure of the reference names.  Add a new kind of
ref_entry (with flag REF_DIR) to represent a whole subdirectory of
references.  Sort ref_dirs one subdirectory at a time.

NOTE: the dirs can now be sorted as a side-effect of other function
calls.  Therefore, it would be problematic to do something from a
each_ref_fn callback that could provoke the sorting of a directory
that is currently being iterated over (i.e., the directory containing
the entry that is being processed or any of its parents).

This is a bit far-fetched, because a directory is always sorted just
before being iterated over.  Therefore, read-only accesses cannot
trigger the sorting of a directory whose iteration has already
started.  But if a callback function would add a reference to a parent
directory of the reference in the iteration, then try to resolve a
reference under that directory, a re-sort could be triggered and cause
the iteration to work incorrectly.

Nevertheless...add a comment in refs.h warning against modifications
during iteration.
