Various optimization for "git fetch".
* ps/fetch-mirror-optim:
refs/files-backend: optimize reading of symbolic refs
remote: read symbolic refs via `refs_read_symbolic_ref()`
refs: add ability for backends to special-case reading of symbolic refs
fetch: avoid lookup of commits when not appending to FETCH_HEAD
upload-pack: look up "want" lines via commit-graph
"git fetch --recurse-submodules" only considers populated
submodules (i.e. submodules that can be found by iterating the index),
which makes "git fetch" behave differently based on which commit is
checked out. As a result, even if the user has initialized all submodules
correctly, they may not fetch the necessary submodule commits, and
commands like "git checkout --recurse-submodules" might fail.
Teach "git fetch" to fetch cloned, changed submodules regardless of
whether they are populated. This is in addition to the current behavior
of fetching populated submodules (which is always attempted regardless
of what was fetched in the superproject, or even if nothing was fetched
in the superproject).
A submodule may be encountered multiple times (via the list of
populated submodules or via the list of changed submodules). When this
happens, "git fetch" only reads the 'populated copy' and ignores the
'changed copy'. Amend the verify_fetch_result() test helper so that we
can assert on which 'copy' is being read.

"git fetch" can make two separate fetches, but ref updates coming
from them were in two separate ref transactions under "--atomic",
which has been corrected.
* ps/fetch-atomic:
fetch: make `--atomic` flag cover pruning of refs
fetch: make `--atomic` flag cover backfilling of tags
refs: add interface to iterate over queued transactional updates
fetch: report errors when backfilling tags fails
fetch: control lifecycle of FETCH_HEAD in a single place
fetch: backfill tags before setting upstream
fetch: increase test coverage of fetches
When fetching from a remote repository we will by default write what has
been fetched into the special FETCH_HEAD reference. The order in which
references are written depends on whether the reference is for merge or
not, which, despite some other conditions, is also determined based on
whether the old object ID the reference is being updated from actually
exists in the repository.
To write FETCH_HEAD we thus loop through all references thrice: once for
the references that are about to be merged, once for the references that
are not for merge, and finally for all references that are ignored. For
every iteration, we then look up the old object ID to determine whether
the referenced object exists so that we can label it as "not-for-merge"
if it doesn't exist. It goes without saying that this can be expensive
in case where we are fetching a lot of references.
While this is hard to avoid in the case where we're writing FETCH_HEAD,
users can in fact ask us to skip this work via `--no-write-fetch-head`.
In that case, we do not care for the result of those lookups at all
because we don't have to order writes to FETCH_HEAD in the first place.
Skip this busywork in case we're not writing to FETCH_HEAD. The
following benchmark performs a mirror-fetch in a repository with about
two million references via `git fetch --prune --no-write-fetch-head

When fetching with the `--prune` flag we will delete any local
references matching the fetch refspec which have disappeared on the
remote. This step is not currently covered by the `--atomic` flag: we
delete branches even though updating of local references has failed,
which means that the fetch is not an all-or-nothing operation.
Fix this bug by passing in the global transaction into `prune_refs()`:
if one is given, then we'll only queue up deletions and not commit them
right away.
This change also improves performance when pruning many branches in a
repository with a big packed-refs file: every references is pruned in
its own transaction, which means that we potentially have to rewrite
the packed-refs files for every single reference we're about to prune.
The following benchmark demonstrates this: it performs a pruning fetch
from a repository with a single reference into a repository with 100k
references, which causes us to prune all but one reference. This is of
course a very artificial setup, but serves to demonstrate the impact of
only having to write the packed-refs file once:
Benchmark 1: git fetch --prune --atomic +refs/*:refs/* (HEAD~)

When fetching references from a remote we by default also fetch all tags
which point into the history we have fetched. This is a separate step
performed after updating local references because it requires us to walk
over the history on the client-side to determine whether the remote has
announced any tags which point to one of the fetched commits.
This backfilling of tags isn't covered by the `--atomic` flag: right
now, it only applies to the step where we update our local references.
This is an oversight at the time the flag was introduced: its purpose is
to either update all references or none, but right now we happily update
local references even in the case where backfilling failed.
Fix this by pulling up creation of the reference transaction such that
we can pass the same transaction to both the code which updates local
references and to the code which backfills tags. This allows us to only
commit the transaction in case both actions succeed.
Note that we also have to start passing the transaction into
`find_non_local_tags()`: this function is responsible for finding all
tags which we need to backfill. Right now, it will happily return tags
which have already been updated with our local references. But when we
use a single transaction for both local references and backfilling then
it may happen that we try to queue the same reference update twice to
the transaction, which consequently triggers a bug. We thus have to skip
over any tags which have already been queued.

When the backfilling of tags fails we do not report this error to the
caller, but only report it implicitly at a later point when reporting
updated references. This leaves callers unable to act upon the
information of whether the backfilling succeeded or not.
Refactor the function to return an error code and pass it up the
callstack. This causes us to correctly propagate the error back to the
user of git-fetch(1).

There are two different locations where we're appending to FETCH_HEAD:
first when storing updated references, and second when backfilling tags.
Both times we open the file, append to it and then commit it into place,
which is essentially duplicate work.
Improve the lifecycle of updating FETCH_HEAD by opening and committing
it once in `do_fetch()`, where we pass the structure down to the code
which wants to append to it.

The fetch code flow is a bit hard to understand right now:
1. We optionally prune all references which have vanished on the
remote side.
2. We fetch and update all other references locally.
3. We update the upstream branch in the gitconfig.
4. We backfill tags pointing into the history we have just fetched.
It is quite confusing that we fetch objects and update references in
both (2) and (4), which is further stressed by the point that we use a
`skip` goto label to jump from (3) to (4) in case we fail to update the
gitconfig as expected.
Reorder the code to first update all local references, and only after we
have done so update the upstream branch information. This improves the
code flow and furthermore makes it easier to refactor the way we update
references together.

fetch --prune: exit with error if pruning fails
When updating references via git-fetch(1), then by default we report to
the user which references have been changed. This output is formatted in
a nice table such that the different columns are aligned. Because the
first column contains abbreviated object IDs we thus need to iterate
over all refs which have changed and compute the minimum length for
their respective abbreviated hashes. While this effort makes sense in
most cases, it is wasteful when the user passes the `--quiet` flag: we
don't print the summary, but still compute the length.
Skip computing the summary width when the user asked for us to be quiet.
This gives us a speedup of nearly 10% when doing a mirror-fetch in a
repository with thousands of references being updated:

"git fetch --negotiate-only" is an internal command used by "git
push" to figure out which part of our history is missing from the
other side. It should never recurse into submodules even when
fetch.recursesubmodules configuration variable is set, nor it
should trigger "gc". The code has been tightened up to ensure it
only does common ancestry discovery and nothing else.
* gc/fetch-negotiate-only-early-return:
fetch: help translators by reusing the same message template
fetch --negotiate-only: do not update submodules
fetch: skip tasks related to fetching objects
fetch: use goto cleanup in cmd_fetch()
When we taught these commands about the sparse index, we did not account
for the fact that the `cmd_*()` functions _can_ be called without a
gitdir, namely when `-h` is passed to show the usage.
A plausible approach to address this is to move the
`prepare_repo_settings()` calls right after the `parse_options()` calls:
The latter will never return when it handles `-h`, and therefore it is
safe to assume that we have a `gitdir` at that point, as long as the
built-in is marked with the `RUN_SETUP` flag.
However, it is unfortunately not that simple. In `cmd_pack_objects()`,
for example, the repo settings need to be fully populated so that the
command-line options `--sparse`/`--no-sparse` can override them, not the
other way round.
Therefore, we choose to imitate the strategy taken in `cmd_diff()`,
where we simply do not bother to prepare and initialize the repo
settings unless we have a `gitdir`.

`git fetch --negotiate-only` is an implementation detail of push
negotiation and, unlike most `git fetch` invocations, does not actually
update the main repository. Thus it should not update submodules even
if submodule recursion is enabled.
This is not just slow, it is wrong e.g. push negotiation with
"submodule.recurse=true" will cause submodules to be updated because it
invokes `git fetch --negotiate-only`.
Fix this by disabling submodule recursion if --negotiate-only was given.
Since this makes --negotiate-only and --recurse-submodules incompatible,
check for this invalid combination and die.
This does not use the "goto cleanup" introduced in the previous commit
because we want to recurse through submodules whenever a ref is fetched,
and this can happen without introducing new objects.

cmd_fetch() does the following with the assumption that objects are

* Run gc
* Write commit graphs (if enabled by fetch.writeCommitGraph=true)
However, neither of these tasks makes sense if objects are not fetched
e.g. `git fetch --negotiate-only` never fetches objects.
Speed up cmd_fetch() by bailing out early if we know for certain that
objects will not be fetched. cmd_fetch() can bail out early whenever
objects are not fetched, but for now this only considers
--negotiate-only.

When fetching packfiles, we write a bunch of lockfiles for the packfiles
we're writing into the repository. In order to not leave behind any
cruft in case we exit or receive a signal, we register both an exit
handler as well as signal handlers for common signals like SIGINT. These
handlers will then unlink the locks and free the data structure tracking
them. We have observed a deadlock in this logic though:

The process was killed with a signal, which caused the signal handler to
kick in and try free the data structures after we have unlinked the
locks. It then deadlocks while calling free(3P).
The root cause of this is that it is not allowed to call certain
functions in async-signal handlers, as specified by signal-safety(7).
Next to most I/O functions, this list of disallowed functions also
includes memory-handling functions like malloc(3P) and free(3P) because
they may not be reentrant. As a result, if we execute such functions in
the signal handler, then they may operate on inconistent state and fail
in unexpected ways.
Fix this bug by not calling non-async-signal-safe functions when running
in the signal handler. We're about to re-raise the signal anyway and
will thus exit, so it's not much of a problem to keep the string list of
lockfiles untouched. Note that it's fine though to call unlink(2), so
we'll still clean up the lockfiles correctly.

The 'git fetch' and 'git pull' commands parse the index in order to

this will expand a sparse index, causing slow performance even when
there is no new data to fetch.
The .gitmodules file will never be inside a sparse directory entry, and
even if it was, the index_name_pos() method would expand the sparse

The code added there did not do the same checking we do for "git

I'm fixing now in "git branch --set-upstream-to", see

The warning message I'm adding here is an amalgamation of the error
added for "git branch" in 8efb8899cf, and the error output
install_branch_config() itself emits, i.e. it trims "refs/heads/" from

remote".
I think it would make more sense to simply die() here, but in the
other checks for --set-upstream added in 24bc1a1292 we issue a
warning() instead. Let's do the same here for consistency for now.
There was an earlier submitted alternate way of fixing this in [1],
due to that patch breaking threading with the original report at [2] I

Before spawning the auto maintenance, we need to make sure that we
release all open file handles to all the `.pack` files (and MIDX files
and commit-graph files and...) so that the maintenance process has the
freedom to delete those files.
So far, we did this manually every time before calling
`run_auto_maintenance()`. With the new `close_object_store` flag, we can
do that implicitly in that function, which is more robust because future
callers won't be able to forget to close the object store.
Note: this changes behavior slightly, as we previously _always_ closed
the object store, but now we only close the object store when actually
running the auto maintenance. In practice, this should not matter (if
anything, it might speed up operations where auto maintenance is
disabled).

When fetching refs, we are doing two connectivity checks:
- The first one is done such that we can skip fetching refs in the
case where we already have all objects referenced by the updated
set of refs.
- The second one verifies that we have all objects after we have
fetched objects.
We always execute both connectivity checks, but this is wasteful in case
the first connectivity check already notices that we have all objects
locally available.
Skip the second connectivity check in case we already had all objects
available. This gives us a nice speedup when doing a mirror-fetch in a
repository with about 2.3M refs where the fetching repo already has all
objects:

further require that `fetch_refs()` must always be called before
`consume_refs()` such that it can correctly assert that we have all

The object ID iterator used by the connectivity checks returns the next
object ID via an out-parameter and then uses a return code to indicate
whether an item was found. This is a bit roundabout: instead of a
separate error code, we can just return the next object ID directly and
use `NULL` pointers as indicator that the iterator got no items left.
Furthermore, this avoids a copy of the object ID.
Refactor the iterator and all its implementations to return object IDs
directly. This brings a tiny performance improvement when doing a mirror-fetch of a repository with about 2.3M refs:

When updating local refs after the fetch has transferred all objects, we
do an object existence test as a safety guard to avoid updating a ref to
an object which we don't have. We do so via `oid_object_info()`: if it
returns an error, then we know the object does not exist.
One side effect of `oid_object_info()` is that it parses the object's
type, and to do so it must unpack the object header. This is completely
pointless: we don't care for the type, but only want to assert that the
object exists.
Refactor the code to use `repo_has_object_file()`, which both makes the
code's intent clearer and is also faster because it does not unpack
object headers. In a real-world repo with 2.3M refs, this results in a
small speedup when doing a mirror-fetch:

When updating our local refs based on the refs fetched from the remote,
we need to iterate through all requested refs and load their respective
commits such that we can determine whether they need to be appended to
FETCH_HEAD or not. In cases where we're fetching from a remote with
exceedingly many refs, resolving these refs can be quite expensive given
that we repeatedly need to unpack object headers for each of the
referenced objects.
Speed this up by opportunistically trying to resolve object IDs via the
commit graph. We only do so for any refs which are not in "refs/tags":
more likely than not, these are going to be a commit anyway, and this
lets us avoid having to unpack object headers completely in case the
object is a commit that is part of the commit-graph. This significantly
speeds up mirror-fetches in a real-world repository with
2.3M refs:

When fetching, Git will by default print a list of all updated refs in a
nicely formatted table. In order to come up with this table, Git needs
to iterate refs twice: first to determine the maximum column width, and
a second time to actually format these changed refs.
While this table will not be printed in case the user passes `--quiet`,
we still go out of our way and do all these steps. In fact, we even do
more work compared to not passing `--quiet`: without the flag, we will
skip all references in the column width computation which have not been
updated, but if it is set we will now compute widths for all refs.
Fix this issue by completely skipping both preparation of the format and
formatting data for display in case the user passes `--quiet`, improving
performance especially with many refs. The following benchmark shows a
nice speedup for a quiet mirror-fetch in a repository with 2.3M refs:

While at it, this patch also fixes `adjust_refcol_width()` such that it
skips unchanged refs in case the user passed `--quiet`, where verbosity
will be negative. While this function won't be called anymore if so,
this brings the comment in line with actual code. Furthermore, needless
`verbosity >= 0` checks are now removed in `store_updated_refs()`: we
never print to the `note` buffer anymore in case `verbosity < 0`, so we
won't end up in that code block anyway.

"git push" learns to discover common ancestor with the receiving
end over protocol v2.
* jt/push-negotiation:
send-pack: support push negotiation
fetch: teach independent negotiation (no packfile)
fetch-pack: refactor command and capability write
fetch-pack: refactor add_haves()
fetch-pack: refactor process_acks()
Currently, the packfile negotiation step within a Git fetch cannot be
done independent of sending the packfile, even though there is at least
one application wherein this is useful. Therefore, make it possible for
this negotiation step to be done independently. A subsequent commit will
use this for one such application - push negotiation.
This feature is for protocol v2 only. (An implementation for protocol v0
would require a separate implementation in the fetch, transport, and
transport helper code.)
In the protocol, the main hindrance towards independent negotiation is
that the server can unilaterally decide to send the packfile. This is
solved by a "wait-for-done" argument: the server will then wait for the
client to say "done". In practice, the client will never say it; instead
it will cease requests once it is satisfied.
In the client, the main change lies in the transport and transport
helper code. fetch_refs_via_pack() performs everything needed - protocol
version and capability checks, and the negotiation itself.
There are 2 code paths that do not go through fetch_refs_via_pack() that
needed to be individually excluded: the bundle transport (excluded
through requiring smart_options, which the bundle transport doesn't
support) and transport helpers that do not support takeover. If or when
we support independent negotiation for protocol v0, we will need to
modify these 2 code paths to support it. But for now, report failure if
independent negotiation is requested in these cases.

The --prefetch option will be used by the 'prefetch' maintenance task
instead of sending refspecs explicitly across the command-line. The
intention is to modify the refspec to place all results in
refs/prefetch/ instead of anywhere else.
Create helper method filter_prefetch_refspec() to modify a given refspec
to fit the rules expected of the prefetch task:
* Negative refspecs are preserved.
* Refspecs without a destination are removed.
* Refspecs whose source starts with "refs/tags/" are removed.
* Other refspecs are placed within "refs/prefetch/".
Finally, we add the 'force' option to ensure that prefetch refs are
replaced as necessary.
There are some interesting cases that are worth testing.
An earlier version of this change dropped the "i--" from the loop that
deletes a refspec item and shifts the remaining entries down. This
allowed some refspecs to not be modified. The subtle part about the
first --prefetch test is that the "refs/tags/*" refspec appears directly
before the "refs/heads/bogus/*" refspec. Without that "i--", this
ordering would remove the "refs/tags/*" refspec and leave the last one
unmodified, placing the result in "refs/heads/*".
It is possible to have an empty refspec. This is typically the case for
remotes other than the origin, where users want to fetch a specific tag
or branch. To correctly test this case, we need to further remove the
upstream remote for the local branch. Thus, we are testing a refspec
that will be deleted, leaving nothing to fetch.

When executing a fetch, then git will currently allocate one reference
transaction per reference update and directly commit it. This means that
fetches are non-atomic: even if some of the reference updates fail,
others may still succeed and modify local references.
This is fine in many scenarios, but this strategy has its downsides.
- The view of remote references may be inconsistent and may show a
bastardized state of the remote repository.
- Batching together updates may improve performance in certain
scenarios. While the impact probably isn't as pronounced with loose
references, the upcoming reftable backend may benefit as it needs to
write less files in case the update is batched.
- The reference-update hook is currently being executed twice per
updated reference. While this doesn't matter when there is no such
hook, we have seen severe performance regressions when doing a
git-fetch(1) with reference-transaction hook when the remote
repository has hundreds of thousands of references.
Similar to `git push --atomic`, this commit thus introduces atomic
fetches. Instead of allocating one reference transaction per updated
reference, it causes us to only allocate a single transaction and commit
it as soon as all updates were received. If locking of any reference
fails, then we abort the complete transaction and don't update any
reference, which gives us an all-or-nothing fetch.
Note that this may not completely fix the first of above downsides, as
the consistent view also depends on the server-side. If the server
doesn't have a consistent view of its own references during the
reference negotiation phase, then the client would get the same
inconsistent view the server has. This is a separate problem though and,
if it actually exists, can be fixed at a later point.
This commit also changes the way we write FETCH_HEAD in case `--atomic`
is passed. Instead of writing changes as we go, we need to accumulate
all changes first and only commit them at the end when we know that all
reference updates succeeded. Ideally, we'd just do so via a temporary
file so that we don't need to carry all updates in-memory. This isn't
trivially doable though considering the `--append` mode, where we do not
truncate the file but simply append to it. And given that we support
concurrent processes appending to FETCH_HEAD at the same time without
any loss of data, seeding the temporary file with current contents of
FETCH_HEAD initially and then doing a rename wouldn't work either. So
this commit implements the simple strategy of buffering all changes and
appending them to the file on commit.

The handling of ref updates is completely handled by `s_update_ref()`,
which will manage the complete lifecycle of the reference transaction.
This is fine right now given that git-fetch(1) does not support atomic
fetches, so each reference gets its own transaction. It is quite
inflexible though, as `s_update_ref()` only knows about a single
reference update at a time, so it doesn't allow us to alter the
strategy.
This commit prepares `s_update_ref()` and its only caller
`update_local_ref()` to allow passing an external transaction. If none
is given, then the existing behaviour is triggered which creates a new
transaction and directly commits it. Otherwise, if the caller provides a
transaction, then we only queue the update but don't commit it. This
optionally allows the caller to manage when a transaction will be
committed.
Given that `update_local_ref()` is always called with a `NULL`
transaction for now, no change in behaviour is expected from this
change.

When performing a fetch with the default `--write-fetch-head` option, we
write all updated references to FETCH_HEAD while the updates are
performed. Given that updates are not performed atomically, it means
that we we write to FETCH_HEAD even if some or all of the reference
updates fail.
Given that we simply update FETCH_HEAD ad-hoc with each reference, the
logic is completely contained in `store_update_refs` and thus quite hard
to extend. This can already be seen by the way we skip writing to the
FETCH_HEAD: instead of having a conditional which simply skips writing,
we instead open "/dev/null" and needlessly write all updates there.
We are about to extend git-fetch(1) to accept an `--atomic` flag which
will make the fetch an all-or-nothing operation with regards to the
reference updates. This will also require us to make the updates to
FETCH_HEAD an all-or-nothing operation, but as explained doing so is not
easy with the current layout. This commit thus refactors the wa we write
to FETCH_HEAD and pulls out the logic to open, append to, commit and
close the file. While this may seem rather over-the top at first,
pulling out this logic will make it a lot easier to update the code in a
subsequent commit. It also allows us to easily skip writing completely
in case `--no-write-fetch-head` was passed.

The lazy fetching done internally to make missing objects available
in a partial clone incorrectly made permanent damage to the partial
clone filter in the repository, which has been corrected.
* jt/keep-partial-clone-filter-upon-lazy-fetch:
fetch: do not override partial clone filter
promisor-remote: remove unused variable
Both fetch and push support pattern refspecs which allow fetching or
pushing references that match a specific pattern. Because these patterns
are globs, they have somewhat limited ability to express more complex
situations.
For example, suppose you wish to fetch all branches from a remote except
for a specific one. To allow this, you must setup a set of refspecs
which match only the branches you want. Because refspecs are either
explicit name matches, or simple globs, many patterns cannot be
expressed.
Add support for a new type of refspec, referred to as "negative"
refspecs. These are prefixed with a '^' and mean "exclude any ref
matching this refspec". They can only have one "side" which always
refers to the source. During a fetch, this refers to the name of the ref
on the remote. During a push, this refers to the name of the ref on the
local side.
With negative refspecs, users can express more complex patterns. For
example:
git fetch origin refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* ^refs/heads/dontwant
will fetch all branches on origin into remotes/origin, but will exclude
fetching the branch named dontwant.
Refspecs today are commutative, meaning that order doesn't expressly
matter. Rather than forcing an implied order, negative refspecs will
always be applied last. That is, in order to match, a ref must match at
least one positive refspec, and match none of the negative refspecs.
This is similar to how negative pathspecs work.

When a fetch with the --filter argument is made, the configured default
filter is set even if one already exists. This change was made in
5e46139376 ("builtin/fetch: remove unique promisor remote limitation",
2019-06-25) - in particular, changing from:
* If this is the FIRST partial-fetch request, we enable partial
* on this repo and remember the given filter-spec as the default
* for subsequent fetches to this remote.
to:
* If this is a partial-fetch request, we enable partial on
* this repo if not already enabled and remember the given
* filter-spec as the default for subsequent fetches to this
* remote.
(The given filter-spec is "remembered" even if there is already an
existing one.)
This is problematic whenever a lazy fetch is made, because lazy fetches
are made using "git fetch --filter=blob:none", but this will also happen
if the user invokes "git fetch --filter=<filter>" manually. Therefore,
restore the behavior prior to 5e46139376, which writes a filter-spec
only if the current fetch request is the first partial-fetch one (for
that remote).

The run_auto_gc() method is used in several places to trigger a check

To allow for extra customization of this maintenance activity, replace

Rename run_auto_gc() to run_auto_maintenance() to be clearer what is
happening on this call, and to expose all callers in the current diff.
Rewrite the method to use a struct child_process to simplify the calls
slightly.
Since 'git fetch' already allows disabling the 'git gc --auto'
subprocess, add an equivalent option with a different name to be more

When fetching recursively with submodules, for each ref in the
superproject, we call check_for_new_submodule_commits() which collects all
the objects that have to be checked for submodule changes on
calculate_changed_submodule_paths(). On the first call, it also collects all
the existing refs for excluding them from the scan.
calculate_changed_submodule_paths() creates an argument array with all the
collected new objects, followed by --not and all the old objects. This argv
is passed to setup_revisions, which parses each argument, converts it back
to an oid and resolves the object. The parsing itself also does redundant
work, because it is treated like user input, while in fact it is a full
oid. So it needlessly attempts to look it up as ref (checks if it has ^, ~
etc.), checks if it is a file name etc.
For a repository with many refs, all of this is expensive. But if the fetch
in the superproject did not update the ref (i.e. the objects that are
required to exist in the submodule did not change), there is no need to
include it in the list.
Before commit be76c212 (fetch: ensure submodule objects fetched,
2018-12-06), submodule reference changes were only detected for refs that
were changed, but not for new refs. This commit covered also this case, but
what it did was to just include every ref.
This change should reduce the number of scanned refs by about half (except
the case of a no-op fetch, which will not scan any ref), because all the
existing refs will still be listed after --not.
The regression was reported here:

potentially numerous.
Therefore, suppress this message when --no-write-fetch-head is passed

In "fetch", get_ref_map() iterates over all refs to populate
"existing_refs" in order to populate peer_ref->old_oid in the returned
refmap, even if the refmap has no peer_ref set - which is the case when
only literal hashes (i.e. no refs by name) are fetched.
Iterating over refs causes the targets of those refs to be checked for
existence. Avoiding this is especially important when we use "git fetch"
to perform lazy fetches in a partial clone because a target of such a
ref may need to be itself lazy-fetched (and otherwise causing an
infinite loop).
Therefore, avoid populating "existing_refs" until necessary. With this
patch, because Git lazy-fetches objects by literal hashes (to be done in
a subsequent commit), it will then be able to guarantee avoiding reading
targets of refs.

In "fetch", there are two parameters submodule_fetch_jobs_config and
recurse_submodules that can be set in a variety of ways: through
.gitmodules, through .git/config, and through the command line.
Currently "fetch" handles this by first reading .gitmodules, then
reading .git/config (allowing it to overwrite existing values), then
reading the command line (allowing it to overwrite existing values).
Notice that we can avoid reading .gitmodules if .git/config and/or the
command line already provides us with what we need. In addition, if
recurse_submodules is found to be "no", we do not need the value of
submodule_fetch_jobs_config.
Avoiding reading .gitmodules is especially important when we use "git
fetch" to perform lazy fetches in a partial clone because the
.gitmodules file itself might need to be lazy fetched (and otherwise
causing an infinite loop).
In light of all this, avoid reading .gitmodules until necessary. When
reading it, we may only need one of the two parameters it provides, so
teach fetch_config_from_gitmodules() to support NULL arguments. With
this patch, users (including Git itself when invoking "git fetch" to
lazy-fetch) will be able to guarantee avoiding reading .gitmodules by
passing --recurse-submodules=no.

If you run fetch but record the result in remote-tracking branches,
and either if you do nothing with the fetched refs (e.g. you are
merely mirroring) or if you always work from the remote-tracking
refs (e.g. you fetch and then merge origin/branchname separately),
you can get away with having no FETCH_HEAD at all.
Teach "git fetch" a command line option "--[no-]write-fetch-head".
The default is to write FETCH_HEAD, and the option is primarily
meant to be used with the "--no-" prefix to override this default,
because there is no matching fetch.writeFetchHEAD configuration
variable to flip the default to off (in which case, the positive
form may become necessary to defeat it).
Note that under "--dry-run" mode, FETCH_HEAD is never written;
otherwise you'd see list of objects in the file that you do not
actually have. Passing `--write-fetch-head` does not force `git
fetch` to write the file.

There are two functions to get a single config string:
- git_config_get_string()
- git_config_get_string_const()
One might naively think that the first one allocates a new string and
the second one just points us to the internal configset storage. But
in fact they both allocate a new copy; the second one exists only to
avoid having to cast when using it with a const global which we never
intend to free.
The documentation for the function explains that clearly, but it seems
I'm not alone in being surprised by this. Of 17 calls to the function,
13 of them leak the resulting value.
We could obviously fix these by adding the appropriate free(). But it
would be simpler still if we actually had a non-allocating way to get
the string. There's git_config_get_value() but that doesn't quite do
what we want. If the config key is present but is a boolean with no
value (e.g., "[foo]bar" in the file), then we'll get NULL (whereas the
string versions will print an error and die).
So let's introduce a new variant, git_config_get_string_tmp(), that
behaves as these callers expect. We need a new name because we have new
semantics but the same function signature (so even if we converted the
four remaining callers, topics in flight might be surprised). The "tmp"
is because this value should only be held onto for a short time. In
practice it's rare for us to clear and refresh the configset,
invalidating the pointer, but hopefully the "tmp" makes callers think
about the lifetime. In each of the converted cases here the value only
needs to last within the local function or its immediate caller.

Code which split an argv_array call across multiple lines, like:
argv_array_pushl(&args, "one argument",
"another argument", "and more",
NULL);
was recently mechanically renamed to use strvec, which results in
mis-matched indentation like:
strvec_pushl(&args, "one argument",
"another argument", "and more",
NULL);
Let's fix these up to align the arguments with the opening paren. I did
this manually by sifting through the results of:
git jump grep 'strvec_.*,$'
and liberally applying my editor's auto-format. Most of the changes are
of the form shown above, though I also normalized a few that had
originally used a single-tab indentation (rather than our usual style of
aligning with the open paren). I also rewrapped a couple of obvious
cases (e.g., where previously too-long lines became short enough to fit
on one), but I wasn't aggressive about it. In cases broken to three or
more lines, the grouping of arguments is sometimes meaningful, and it
wasn't worth my time or reviewer time to ponder each case individually.

We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec
consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once,
or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits.
Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable
to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different
names is OK).
This patch converts all of the files in builtin/ to keep the diff to a
manageable size.
The conversion was done purely mechanically with:
git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
xargs perl -i -pe '

git config extensions.partialClone origin
git fetch --unshallow --filter=blob:none origin
Since the hard part of making this work is already in place and such

change automatically instead.

Simplify the commit ancestry connectedness check in a partial clone
repository in which "promised" objects are assumed to be obtainable
lazily on-demand from promisor remote repositories.
* jt/connectivity-check-optim-in-partial-clone:
connected: always use partial clone optimization
With 50033772d5 ("connected: verify promisor-ness of partial clone",
2020-01-30), the fast path (checking promisor packs) in
check_connected() now passes a subset of the slow path (rev-list) - if
all objects to be checked are found in promisor packs, both the fast
path and the slow path will pass; otherwise, the fast path will
definitely not pass. This means that we can always attempt the fast path
whenever we need to do the slow path.
The fast path is currently guarded by a flag; therefore, remove that
flag. Also, make the fast path fallback to the slow path - if the fast
path fails, the failing OID and all remaining OIDs will be passed to
rev-list.
The main user-visible benefit is the performance of fetch from a partial
clone - specifically, the speedup of the connectivity check done before
the fetch. In particular, a no-op fetch into a partial clone on my
computer was sped up from 7 seconds to 0.01 seconds. This is a
complement to the work in 2df1aa239c ("fetch: forgo full
connectivity check if --filter", 2020-01-30), which is the child of the
aforementioned 50033772d5. In that commit, the connectivity check
*after* the fetch was sped up.
The addition of the fast path might cause performance reductions in
these cases:
- If a partial clone or a fetch into a partial clone fails, Git will
fruitlessly run rev-list (it is expected that everything fetched
would go into promisor packs, so if that didn't happen, it is most
likely that rev-list will fail too).
- Any connectivity checks done by receive-pack, in the (in my opinion,
unlikely) event that a partial clone serves receive-pack.
I think that these cases are rare enough, and the performance reduction
in this case minor enough (additional object DB access), that the
benefit of avoiding a flag outweighs these.

partial-clone: avoid fetching when looking for objects
partial-clone: demonstrate bugs in partial fetch
When using partial clone, find_non_local_tags() in builtin/fetch.c
checks each remote tag to see if its object also exists locally. There
is no expectation that the object exist locally, but this function
nevertheless triggers a lazy fetch if the object does not exist. This
can be extremely expensive when asking for a commit, as we are
completely removed from the context of the non-existent object and
thus supply no "haves" in the request.
6462d5eb9a (fetch: remove fetch_if_missing=0, 2019-11-05) removed a
global variable that prevented these fetches in favor of a bitflag.
However, some object existence checks were not updated to use this flag.
Update find_non_local_tags() to use OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT in
addition to OBJECT_INFO_QUICK. The _QUICK option only prevents
repreparing the pack-file structures. We need to be extremely careful
about supplying _SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT when we expect an object to not exist

t5318: don't pass non-object directory to '--object-dir'
There are lots of places in 'commit-graph.h' where a function either has
(or almost has) a full 'struct object_directory *', accesses '->path',
and then throws away the rest of the struct.
This can cause headaches when comparing the locations of object
directories across alternates (e.g., in the case of deciding if two
commit-graph layers can be merged). These paths are normalized with
'normalize_path_copy()' which mitigates some comparison issues, but not
all [1].
Replace usage of 'char *object_dir' with 'odb->path' by storing a
'struct object_directory *' in the 'write_commit_graph_context'
structure. This is an intermediate step towards getting rid of all path
normalization in 'commit-graph.c'.
Resolving a user-provided '--object-dir' argument now requires that we
compare it to the known alternates for equality. Prior to this patch,
an unknown '--object-dir' argument would silently exit with status zero.
This can clearly lead to unintended behavior, such as verifying
commit-graphs that aren't in a repository's own object store (or one of
its alternates), or causing a typo to mask a legitimate commit-graph
verification failure. Make this error non-silent by 'die()'-ing when the
given '--object-dir' does not match any known alternate object store.
[1]: In my testing, for example, I can get one side of the commit-graph
code to fill object_dir with "./objects" and the other with just
"objects".

commit-graph: prefer default size_mult when given zero
In 50f26bd ("fetch: add fetch.writeCommitGraph config setting",

commit-graph using the "--split" feature. This feature creates
multiple commit-graph files, and those can merge based on a set
of "split options" including a size multiple. The default size
multiple is 2, which intends to provide a log_2 N depth of the
commit-graph chain where N is the number of commits.
However, I noticed during dogfooding that my commit-graph chains
were becoming quite large when left only to builds by 'git fetch'.
It turns out that in split_graph_merge_strategy(), we default the
size_mult variable to 2 except we override it with the context's
split_opts if they exist. In builtin/fetch.c, we create such a
split_opts, but do not populate it with values.
This problem is due to two failures:
1. It is unclear that we can add the flag COMMIT_GRAPH_WRITE_SPLIT
with a NULL split_opts.
2. If we have a non-NULL split_opts, then we override the default
values even if a zero value is given.

Suppose, from a repository that has ".gitmodules", we clone with
--filter=blob:none:
git clone --filter=blob:none --no-checkout \
https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git
Then we fetch:
git -C git fetch
This will cause a "unable to load config blob object", because the
fetch_config_from_gitmodules() invocation in cmd_fetch() will attempt to
load ".gitmodules" (which Git knows to exist because the client has the
tree of HEAD) while fetch_if_missing is set to 0.
fetch_if_missing is set to 0 too early - ".gitmodules" here should be
lazily fetched. Git must set fetch_if_missing to 0 before the fetch
because as part of the fetch, packfile negotiation happens (and we do
not want to fetch any missing objects when checking existence of
objects), but we do not need to set it so early. Move the setting of
fetch_if_missing to the earliest possible point in cmd_fetch(), right
before any fetching happens.

`hashmap_free_entries' behaves like `container_of' and passes
the offset of the hashmap_entry struct to the internal
`hashmap_free_' function, allowing the function to free any
struct pointer regardless of where the hashmap_entry field
is located.
`hashmap_free' no longer takes any arguments aside from
the hashmap itself.

So far, `--jobs=<n>` only parallelizes submodule fetches/clones, not
`--multiple` fetches, which is unintuitive, given that the option's name
does not say anything about submodules in particular.
Let's change that. With this patch, also fetches from multiple remotes
are parallelized.
For backwards-compatibility (and to prepare for a use case where
submodule and multiple-remote fetches may need different parallelization
limits), the config setting `submodule.fetchJobs` still only controls
the submodule part of `git fetch`, while the newly-introduced setting
`fetch.parallel` controls both (but can be overridden for submodules
with `submodule.fetchJobs`).

The commit-graph feature is now on by default, and is being
written during 'git gc' by default. Typically, Git only writes
a commit-graph when a 'git gc --auto' command passes the gc.auto
setting to actualy do work. This means that a commit-graph will
typically fall behind the commits that are being used every day.
To stay updated with the latest commits, add a step to 'git
fetch' to write a commit-graph after fetching new objects. The
fetch.writeCommitGraph config setting enables writing a split
commit-graph, so on average the cost of writing this file is
very small. Occasionally, the commit-graph chain will collapse
to a single level, and this could be slow for very large repos.
For additional use, adjust the default to be true when
feature.experimental is enabled.

Add the --set-upstream option to git pull/fetch
which lets the user set the upstream configuration
(branch.<current-branch-name>.merge and
branch.<current-branch-name>.remote) for the current branch.
A typical use-case is:
git clone http://example.com/my-public-fork
git remote add main http://example.com/project-main-repo
git pull --set-upstream main master
or, instead of the last line:
git fetch --set-upstream main master
git merge # or git rebase
This is mostly equivalent to cloning project-main-repo (which sets
upsteam) and then "git remote add" my-public-fork, but may feel more
natural for people using a hosting system which allows forking from
the web UI.
This functionality is analog to "git push --set-upstream".

may keep open file descriptors on, all of which would need to be

new instance to replace it.

Make the filter_spec string a string_list rather than a raw C string.
The list of strings must be concatted together to make a complete
filter_spec. A future patch will use this capability to build "combine:"
filter specs gradually.
A strbuf would seem to be a more natural choice for this object, but it
unfortunately requires initialization besides just zero'ing out the
memory. This results in all container structs, and all containers of
those structs, etc., to also require initialization. Initializing them
all would be more cumbersome that simply using a string_list, which
behaves properly when its contents are zero'd.
For the purposes of code simplification, change behavior in how filter
specs are conveyed over the protocol: do not normalize the tree:<depth>
filter specs since there should be no server in existence that supports
tree:# but not tree:#k etc.

Also when cloning or fetching using a partial clone filter,

After updating a set of remove refs during a 'git fetch', we walk the
commits in the new ref value and not in the old ref value to discover
if the update was a forced update. This results in two things happening
during the command:
1. The line including the ref update has an additional "(forced-update)"
marker at the end.
2. The ref log for that remote branch includes a bit saying that update
is a forced update.
For many situations, this forced-update message happens infrequently, or
is a small bit of information among many ref updates. Many users ignore
these messages, but the calculation required here slows down their fetches
significantly. Keep in mind that they do not have the opportunity to
calculate a commit-graph file containing the newly-fetched commits, so
these comparisons can be very slow.
Add a '--[no-]show-forced-updates' option that allows a user to skip this
calculation. The only permanent result is dropping the forced-update bit
in the reflog.
Include a new fetch.showForcedUpdates config setting that allows this
behavior without including the argument in every command. The config
setting is overridden by the command-line arguments.

In multiple remotes mode, git-fetch is launched for n-1 remotes and the
last remote is handled by the current process. Each of these processes
will in turn run 'gc' at the end.
This is not really a problem because even if multiple 'gc --auto' is run
at the same time we still handle it correctly. It does show multiple
"auto packing in the background" messages though. And we may waste some
resources when gc actually runs because we still do some stuff before
checking the lock and moving it to background.
So let's try to avoid that. We should only need one 'gc' run after all
objects and references are added anyway. Add a new option --no-auto-gc
that will be used by those n-1 processes. 'gc --auto' will always run on
the main fetch process (*).
(*) even if we fetch remotes in parallel at some point in future, this
should still be fine because we should "join" all those processes
before this step.
