The philosophy of reference locking has been, "if another process is
changing a reference, then whatever I'm trying to do to it will
probably fail anyway because my old-SHA-1 value is probably no longer
current". But this argument falls down if the other process has locked
the reference to do something that doesn't actually change the value
of the reference, such as `pack-refs` or `reflog expire`. There
actually *is* a decent chance that a planned reference update will
still be able to go through after the other process has released the
lock.
So when trying to lock an individual reference (e.g., when creating
"refs/heads/master.lock"), if it is already locked, then retry the
lock acquisition for approximately 100 ms before giving up. This
should eliminate some unnecessary lock conflicts without wasting a lot
of time.
Add a configuration setting, `core.filesRefLockTimeout`, to allow this
setting to be tweaked.
Note: the function `get_files_ref_lock_timeout_ms()` cannot be private
to the files backend because it is also used by `write_pseudoref()`
and `delete_pseudoref()`, which are defined in `refs.c` so that they
can be used by other reference backends.

...
When locking references in preparation for updating them, we need to
check that none of the newly added references D/F conflict with
existing references (e.g., we don't allow `refs/foo` to be added if
`refs/foo/bar` already exists, or vice versa).
Prior to 524a9fdb51 (refs_verify_refname_available(): use function in
more places, 2017-04-16), conflicts with existing loose references
were checked by looking directly in the filesystem, and then conflicts
with existing packed references were checked by running
`verify_refname_available_dir()` against the packed-refs cache.
But that commit changed the final check to call
`refs_verify_refname_available()` against the *whole* files ref-store,
including both loose and packed references, with the following
comment:
> This means that those callsites now check for conflicts with all
> references rather than just packed refs, but the performance cost
> shouldn't be significant (and will be regained later).
That comment turned out to be too sanguine. User s@kazlauskas.me
reported that fetches involving a very large number of references in
neighboring directories were slowed down by that change.
The problem is that when fetching, each reference is updated
individually, within its own reference transaction. This is done
because some reference updates might succeed even though others fail.
But every time a reference update transaction is finished,
`clear_loose_ref_cache()` is called. So when it is time to update the
next reference, part of the loose ref cache has to be repopulated for
the `refs_verify_refname_available()` call. If the references are all
in neighboring directories, then the cost of repopulating the
reference cache increases with the number of references, resulting in
O(N²) effort.
The comment above also claims that the performance cost "will be
regained later". The idea was that once the packed-refs were finished
being split out into a separate ref-store, we could limit the
`refs_verify_refname_available()` call to the packed references again.
That is what we do now.

One of the tricks that `contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir` plays is to
making `packed-refs` in the new workdir a symlink to the `packed-refs`
file in the original repository. Before
42dfa7ecef ("commit_packed_refs(): use a staging file separate from
the lockfile", 2017-06-23), a lockfile was used as the staging file,
and because the `LOCK_NO_DEREF` was not used, the pointed-to file was
locked and modified.
But after that commit, the staging file was created using a tempfile,
with the end result that rewriting the `packed-refs` file in the
workdir overwrote the symlink rather than the original `packed-refs`
file.
Change `commit_packed_refs()` to use `get_locked_file_path()` to find
the path of the file that it should overwrite. Since that path was
properly resolved when the lockfile was created, this restores the
pre-42dfa7ecef behavior.
Also add a test case to document this use case and prevent a
regression like this from recurring.

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.

Commit 28ed9830b1 (get_packed_ref_cache(): assume "packed-refs" won't
change while locked, 2017-05-22) assumes that the "packed-refs" file
cannot change while we hold the lock. That assumption is
justified *if* the lock has been held the whole time since the
"packed-refs" file was last read.
But in `lock_packed_refs()`, we ourselves lock the "packed-refs" file
and then call `get_packed_ref_cache()` to ensure that the cache agrees
with the file. The intent is to guard against the possibility that
another process changed the "packed-refs" file the moment before we
locked it.
This check was defeated because `get_packed_ref_cache()` saw that the
file was locked, and therefore didn't do the `stat_validity_check()`
that we want.
The mistake was compounded with a misleading comment in
`lock_packed_refs()` claiming that it was doing the right thing. That
comment came from an earlier draft of the mh/packed-ref-store-prep
patch series when the commits were in a different order.
So instead:
* Extract a function `validate_packed_ref_cache()` that does the
validity check independent of whether the lock is held.
* Change `get_packed_ref_cache()` to call the new function, but only
if the lock *isn't* held.
* Change `lock_packed_refs()` to call the new function in any case
before calling `get_packed_ref_cache()`.
* Fix the comment in `lock_packed_refs()`.

When iterating over references, reference priming is used to make sure
that loose references are read into the ref-cache before packed
references, to avoid races. It used to be that the prefix passed to
reference iterators almost always ended in `/`, for example
`refs/heads/`. In that case, the priming code would read all loose
references under `find_containing_dir("refs/heads/")`, which is
"refs/heads/". That's just what we want.
But now that `ref-filter` knows how to pass refname prefixes to
`for_each_fullref_in()`, the prefix might come from user input; for
example,
git for-each-ref refs/heads
Since the argument doesn't include a trailing slash, the reference
iteration code would prime all of the loose references under
`find_containing_dir("refs/heads")`, which is "refs/". Thus we would
unnecessarily read tags, remote-tracking references, etc., when the
user is only interested in branches.
It is a bit awkward to get around this problem. We can't just append a
slash to the argument, because we don't know ab initio whether an
argument like `refs/tags/release` corresponds to a single tag or to a
directory containing tags.
Moreover, until now a `prefix_ref_iterator` was used to make the final
decision about which references fall within the prefix (the
`cache_ref_iterator` only did a rough cut). This is also inefficient,
because the `prefix_ref_iterator` can't know, for example, that while
you are in a subdirectory that is completely within the prefix, you
don't have to do the prefix check.
So:
* Move the responsibility for doing the prefix check directly to
`cache_ref_iterator`. This means that `cache_ref_iterator_begin()`
never has to wrap its return value in a `prefix_ref_iterator`.
* Teach `cache_ref_iterator_begin()` (and `prime_ref_dir()`) to be
stricter about what they iterate over and what directories they
prime.
* Teach `cache_ref_iterator` to keep track of whether the current
`cache_ref_iterator_level` is fully within the prefix. If so, skip
the prefix checks entirely.
The main benefit of these optimizations is for loose references, since
packed references are always read all at once.
Note that after this change, `prefix_ref_iterator` is only ever used
for its trimming feature and not for its "prefix" feature. But I'm not
ripping out the latter yet, because it might be useful for another
patch series that I'm working on.

In the future, compound reference stores will sometimes need to modify
references in two different reference stores at the same time, meaning
that a single logical reference transaction might have to be
implemented as two internal sub-transactions. They won't want to call
`ref_transaction_commit()` for the two sub-transactions one after the
other, because that wouldn't be atomic (the first commit could succeed
and the second one fail). Instead, they will want to prepare both
sub-transactions (i.e., obtain any necessary locks and do any
pre-checks), and only if both prepare steps succeed, then commit both
sub-transactions.
Start preparing for that day by adding a new, optional
`ref_transaction_prepare()` step to the reference transaction
sequence, which obtains the locks and does any prechecks, reporting
any errors that occur. Also add a `ref_transaction_abort()` function
that can be used to abort a sub-transaction even if it has already
been prepared.
That is on the side of the public-facing API. On the side of the
`ref_store` VTABLE, get rid of `transaction_commit` and instead add
methods `transaction_prepare`, `transaction_finish`, and
`transaction_abort`. A `ref_transaction_commit()` now basically calls
methods `transaction_prepare` then `transaction_finish`.

The `trim` parameter can be set independently of `prefix`. So if some
caller were to set `trim` to be greater than `strlen(prefix)`, we
could end up pointing the `refname` field of the iterator past the NUL
of the actual reference name string.
That can't happen currently, because `trim` is always set either to
zero or to `strlen(prefix)`. But even the latter could lead to

The iterator returned by this function only includes references whose
names start with the whole prefix, not all of those in
`find_containing_dir(prefix)` as the old docstring claimed. This
docstring was probably copy-pasted from old ref-cache code, which had
the old specification. But now, `cache_ref_iterator_begin()`
(from which the files reference iterator gets its values)
automatically wraps its output using `prefix_ref_iterator_begin()`
when necessary, so it has the stricter behavior.

Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).
So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.
By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.
As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

Use reference iteration rather than do_for_each_entry_in_dir() in the
definition of commit_packed_refs().
Note that an internal consistency check that was previously done in
`write_packed_entry_fn()` is not there anymore. This is actually an
improvement:
The old error message was emitted when there is an entry in the
packed-ref cache that is not `REF_KNOWS_PEELED`, and when we attempted
to peel the reference, the result was `PEEL_INVALID`,
`PEEL_IS_SYMREF`, or `PEEL_BROKEN`. Since a packed ref cannot be a
symref, `PEEL_IS_SYMREF` and `PEEL_BROKEN` can be ruled out. So we're
left with `PEEL_INVALID`.
An entry without `REF_KNOWS_PEELED` can get into the packed-refs cache
in the following two ways:
* The reference was read from a `packed-refs` file that didn't have
the `fully-peeled` attribute. In that case, we *don't want* to emit
an error, because the broken value is presumably a stale value of
the reference that is now masked by a loose version of the same
reference (which we just don't happen to be packing this time). This
is a perfectly legitimate situation and doesn't indicate that the
repository is corrupt. The old code incorrectly emits an error
message in this case. (It was probably never reported as a bug
because this scenario is rare.)
* The reference was a loose reference that was just added to the
packed ref cache by `files_packed_refs()` via
`pack_if_possible_fn()` in preparation for being packed. The latter
function refuses to pack a reference for which
`entry_resolves_to_object()` returns false, and otherwise calls
`peel_entry()` itself and checks the return value. So an entry added
this way should always have `REF_KNOWS_PEELED` and shouldn't trigger
the error message in either the old code or the new.

`read_loose_refs` (renamed to `loose_fill_ref_dir`) when creating the

Instead of keeping a pointer to the `ref_store` in every `ref_dir`

This makes it easier to add to the information that is accessible from
a `ref_dir` without increasing the size of every `ref_dir` instance.
Note that previously, every `ref_dir` pointed at the containing
`files_ref_store` regardless of whether it was a part of the loose or
packed reference cache. Now we have to be sure to initialize the
instances to point at the correct containing `ref_cache`. So change
`create_dir_entry()` to take a `ref_cache` parameter, and change its
callers to pass the correct `ref_cache` depending on the purpose of

Since references under "refs/bisect/" are per-worktree, they have to
be sought in the worktree rather than in the main repository. But
since loose references are found by traversing directories, the
reference iterator won't even get the idea to look for a
"refs/bisect/" directory in the worktree if there is not a directory
with that name in the main repository. Thus `get_ref_dir()` manually
inserts a dir_entry for "refs/bisect/" whenever it reads the entry for
"refs/".
The current code then immediately calls `read_loose_refs()` on that
directory. But since the dir_entry is created with its `incomplete`
flag set, any traversal that gets to this point will read the
directory automatically. So there is no need to call
`read_loose_refs()` explicitly; the lazy mechanism suffices.
And in fact, the attempt to `read_loose_refs()` was broken anyway.
That function needs its `dirname` argument to have a trailing `/`
character, but the invocation here was passing it "refs/bisect"
without a trailing slash. So `read_loose_refs()` would read
`$GIT_DIR/refs/bisect" correctly, but if it found an entry "foo" in
that directory, it would try to read "$GIT_DIR/refs/bisectfoo".
Normally it wouldn't find anything at that path, but the failure was
canceled out because `get_ref_dir()` *also* forgot to reset the
`REF_INCOMPLETE` bit on the dir_entry. So the read was attempted again
when it was accessed, via the lazy mechanism, and this time the read
was done correctly.
This code has been broken since it was first introduced.

files-backend.c is unlearning submodules. Instead of having a specific
check for submodules to see what operation is allowed, files backend
now takes a set of flags at init. Each operation will check if the
required flags is present before performing.
For now we have four flags: read, write and odb access. Main ref store
has all flags, obviously, while submodule stores are read-only and have
access to odb (*).
The "main" flag stays because many functions in the backend calls
frontend ones without a ref store, so these functions always target the
main ref store. Ideally the flag should be gone after ref-store-aware
api is in place and used by backends.
(*) Submodule code needs for_each_ref. Try take REF_STORE_ODB flag

2005-12-22). So this code looks like extra adjust_shared_perm calls are
unnecessary.
And they are. But let's see why there are here in the first place.
This code was added in 6fb5acfd8f (refs: add methods to init refs db -

code from init-db.c. But there is a subtle difference:
Between the safe_create_dir() block and adjust_shared_perm() block in
the old init-db.c, we may copy/recreate directories from the repo
template. So it makes sense that adjust_shared_perm() is re-executed
then to fix potential permission screwups.
After 6fb5acfd8f, refs dirs are created after template is copied. Nobody
will change directory permission again. So the extra adjust_shared_perm()
is redudant. Delete them.

Renaming the current branch adds an event to the current branch's log
and to HEAD's log. However, the logged entries differ. The entry in
the branch's log represents the entire renaming operation (the old and
new hash are identical), whereas the entry in HEAD's log represents
the deletion only (the new sha1 is null).
Extend replace_each_worktree_head_symref(), whose only caller is
branch_rename(), to take a reflog message argument. This allows the
creation of the new ref to be recorded in HEAD's log. As a result,
the renaming event is represented by two entries (a deletion and a
creation entry) in HEAD's log.
It's a bit unfortunate that the branch's log and HEAD's log now
represent the renaming event in different ways. Given that the
renaming operation is not atomic, the two-entry form is a more
accurate representation of the operation and is more useful for
debugging purposes if a failure occurs between the deletion and
creation events. It would make sense to move the branch's log to the
two-entry form, but this would involve changes to how the rename is
carried out and to how the update flags and reflogs are processed for
deletions, so it may not be worth the effort.

When the current branch is renamed, the deletion of the old ref is
recorded in HEAD's log with an empty message. Now that delete_ref()
accepts a reflog message, provide a more descriptive message by
passing along the log message that is given to rename_ref().
The next step will be to extend HEAD's log to also include the second
part of the rename, the creation of the new branch.

When the current branch is renamed with 'git branch -m/-M' or deleted
with 'git update-ref -m<msg> -d', the event is recorded in HEAD's log
with an empty message. In preparation for adding a more meaningful
message to HEAD's log in these cases, update delete_ref() to take a
message argument and pass it along to ref_transaction_delete().
Modify all callers to pass NULL for the new message argument; no
change in behavior is intended.
Note that this is relevant for HEAD's log but not for the deleted
ref's log, which is currently deleted along with the ref. Even if it
were not, an entry for the deletion wouldn't be present in the deleted
ref's log. files_transaction_commit() writes to the log if
REF_NEEDS_COMMIT or REF_LOG_ONLY are set, but lock_ref_for_update()
doesn't set REF_NEEDS_COMMIT for the deleted ref because REF_DELETING
is set. In contrast, the update for HEAD has REF_LOG_ONLY set by
split_head_update(), resulting in the deletion being logged.

There is no need to call read_ref_full() or resolve_gitlink_ref() from
read_loose_refs(), because we already have a ref_store object in hand.
So we can call resolve_ref_recursively() ourselves. Happily, this
unifies the code for the submodule vs. non-submodule cases.
This requires resolve_ref_recursively() to be exposed to the refs
subsystem, though not to non-refs code.

The "core.logAllRefUpdates" that used to be boolean has been
enhanced to take 'always' as well, to record ref updates to refs
other than the ones that are expected to be updated (i.e. branches,
remote-tracking branches and notes).
* cw/log-updates-for-all-refs-really:
doc: add note about ignoring '--no-create-reflog'
update-ref: add test cases for bare repository
refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = always
config: add markup to core.logAllRefUpdates doc
When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs
that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we
know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and
that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a
hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old
history immediately).
However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log
for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than
the performance implications of keeping the log around.
This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates
option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless
where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like
ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

When deleting/pruning references, remove any directories that are made
empty by the deletion of loose references or of reflogs. Otherwise such
empty directories can survive forever and accumulate over time. (Even
'pack-refs', which is smart enough to remove the parent directories of
loose references that it prunes, leaves directories that were already
empty.)
And now that files_transaction_commit() takes care of deleting the
parent directories of loose references that it prunes, we don't have to
do that in prune_ref() anymore.
This change would be unwise if the *creation* of these directories could
race with our deletion of them. But the earlier changes in this patch
series made the creation paths robust against races, so now it is safe
to tidy them up more aggressively.

Change log_ref_setup() to use raceproof_create_file() to create the new

process that might be trying to clean up empty directories while we are
trying to create a new logfile.
This also means that it will only call create_leading_directories() if
open() fails, which should be a net win. Even in the cases where we are
willing to create a new logfile, it will usually be the case that the
logfile already exists, or if not then that the directory containing the
logfile already exists. In such cases, we will save some work that was

Our ref resolution first runs lstat() on any path we try to
look up, because we want to treat symlinks specially (by
resolving them manually and considering them symrefs). But
if the results of `readlink` do _not_ look like a ref, we
fall through to treating it like a normal file, and just
read the contents of the linked path.
Since fcb7c76 (resolve_ref_unsafe(): close race condition
reading loose refs, 2013-06-19), that "normal file" code
path will stat() the file and if we see ENOENT, will jump
back to the lstat(), thinking we've seen inconsistent
results between the two calls. But for a symbolic ref, this
isn't a race: the lstat() found the symlink, and the stat()
is looking at the path it points to. We end up in an
infinite loop calling lstat() and stat().
We can fix this by avoiding the retry-on-inconsistent jump
when we know that we found a symlink. While we're at it,
let's add a comment explaining why the symlink case gets to
this code in the first place; without that, it is not
obvious that the correct solution isn't to avoid the stat()
code path entirely.
