No callers pass in anything but "0" here. Likewise to our sibling
functions. Note that some of them ferry along the flag, but none of
their callers pass anything but "0" either.
Nor is anybody likely to change that. Callers which really want to see
all of the raw refs use for_each_rawref(). And anybody interested in
iterating a subset of the refs will likely be happy to use the
now-default behavior of showing broken refs, but omitting dangling
symlinks.
So we can get rid of this whole feature.

Of the ref-filter callers, for-each-ref and git-branch both set the
INCLUDE_BROKEN flag (but git-tag does not, which is a weird
inconsistency). But now that GIT_REF_PARANOIA is on by default, that
produces almost the same outcome for all three.
The one exception is that GIT_REF_PARANOIA will omit dangling symrefs.
That's a better behavior for these tools, as they would never include
such a symref in the main output anyway (they can't, as it doesn't point
to an object). Instead they issue a warning to stderr. But that warning
is somewhat useless; a dangling symref is a perfectly reasonable thing
to have in your repository, and is not a sign of corruption. It's much
friendlier to just quietly ignore it.
And in terms of robustness, the warning gains us little. It does not
impact the exit code of either tool. So while the warning _might_ clue
in a user that they have an unexpected broken symref, it would not help
any kind of scripted use.
This patch converts for-each-ref and git-branch to stop using the
INCLUDE_BROKEN flag. That gives them more reasonable behavior, and
harmonizes them with git-tag.
We have to change one test to adapt to the situation. t1430 tries to
trigger all of the REF_ISBROKEN behaviors from the underlying ref code.
It uses for-each-ref to do so (because there isn't any other mechanism).
That will no longer issue a warning about the symref which points to an
invalid name, as it's considered dangling (and we can instead be sure
that it's _not_ mentioned on stderr). Note that we do still complain
about the illegally named "broken..symref"; its problem is not that it's
dangling, but the name of the symref itself is illegal.

Now that GIT_REF_PARANOIA is the default, we don't need to selectively
enable it for destructive operations. In fact, it's harmful to do so,
because it overrides any GIT_REF_PARANOIA=0 setting that the user may
have provided (because they're trying to work around some corruption).
With these uses gone, we can further clean up the ref_paranoia global,
and make it a static variable inside the refs code.

The original point of the GIT_REF_PARANOIA flag was to include broken
refs in iterations, so that possibly-destructive operations would not
silently ignore them (and would generally instead try to operate on the
oids and fail when the objects could not be accessed).
We already turned this on by default for some dangerous operations, like
"repack -ad" (where missing a reachability tip would mean dropping the
associated history). But it was not on for general use, even though it
could easily result in the spreading of corruption (e.g., imagine
cloning a repository which simply omits some of its refs because
their objects are missing; the result quietly succeeds even though you
did not clone everything!).
This patch turns on GIT_REF_PARANOIA by default. So a clone as mentioned
above would actually fail (upload-pack tells us about the broken ref,
and when we ask for the objects, pack-objects fails to deliver them).
This may be inconvenient when working with a corrupted repository, but:
- we are better off to err on the side of complaining about
corruption, and then provide mechanisms for explicitly loosening
safety.
- this is only one type of corruption anyway. If we are missing any
other objects in the history that _aren't_ ref tips, then we'd
behave similarly (happily show the ref, but then barf when we
started traversing).
We retain the GIT_REF_PARANOIA variable, but simply default it to "1"
instead of "0". That gives the user an escape hatch for loosening this
when working with a corrupt repository. It won't work across a remote
connection to upload-pack (because we can't necessarily set environment
variables on the remote), but there the client has other options (e.g.,
choosing which refs to fetch).
As a bonus, this also makes ref iteration faster in general (because we
don't have to call has_object_file() for each ref), though probably not
noticeably so in the general case. In a repo with a million refs, it
shaved a few hundred milliseconds off of upload-pack's advertisement;
that's noticeable, but most repos are not nearly that large.
The possible downside here is that any operation which iterates refs but
doesn't ever open their objects may now quietly claim to have X when the
object is corrupted (e.g., "git rev-list new-branch --not --all" will
treat a broken ref as uninteresting). But again, that's not really any
different than corruption below the ref level. We might have
refs/heads/old-branch as non-corrupt, but we are not actively checking
that we have the entire reachable history. Or the pointed-to object
could even be corrupted on-disk (but our "do we have it" check would
still succeed). In that sense, this is merely bringing ref-corruption in
line with general object corruption.
One alternative implementation would be to actually check for broken
refs, and then _immediately die_ if we see any. That would cause the
"rev-list --not --all" case above to abort immediately. But in many ways
that's the worst of all worlds:
- it still spends time looking up the objects an extra time
- it still doesn't catch corruption below the ref level
- it's even more inconvenient; with the current implementation of
GIT_REF_PARANOIA for something like upload-pack, we can make
the advertisement and let the client choose a non-broken piece of
history. If we bail as soon as we see a broken ref, they cannot even
see the advertisement.
The test changes here show some of the fallout. A non-destructive "git
repack -adk" now fails by default (but we can override it). Deleting a
broken ref now actually tells the hooks the correct "before" state,
rather than a confusing null oid.

Dangling symrefs aren't actually a corruption problem. It's perfectly
fine for refs/remotes/origin/HEAD to point to an unborn branch. And in
particular, if you are trying to establish reachability, a symref that
points nowhere doesn't matter either way. Any ref it could point to will
be examined during the rest of the traversal.
It's possible that a symref pointing nowhere _could_ be a sign that the
ref it was meant to point to was deleted accidentally (e.g., via
corruption). But there is no particular reason to think that is true for
any given case, and in the meantime, GIT_REF_PARANOIA kicking in
automatically for some operations means they'll fail unnecessarily.
So let's loosen it just a bit. The new test in t5312 shows off an
example that is safe, but currently fails (and no longer does after this
patch).
Note that we don't do anything if the caller explicitly asked for
DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN. In that case they may be looking for
dangling symrefs themselves, and setting GIT_REF_PARANOIA should not
_loosen_ things from what the caller asked for.

When the DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN flag is used, we include both actual
corrupt refs (illegal names, missing objects), but also symrefs that
point to nothing. This latter is not really a corruption, but just
something that may happen normally. For example, the symref at
refs/remotes/origin/HEAD may point to a tracking branch which is later
deleted. (The local HEAD may also be unborn, of course, but we do not
access it through ref iteration).
Most callers of for_each_ref() etc, do not care. They don't pass
INCLUDE_BROKEN, so don't see it at all. But for those which do pass it,
this somewhat-normal state causes extra warnings (e.g., from
for-each-ref) or even aborts operations (destructive repacks with
GIT_REF_PARANOIA set).
This patch just introduces the flag and the mechanism; there are no
callers yet (and hence no tests). Two things to note on the
implementation:
- we actually skip any symref that does not resolve to a ref. This
includes ones which point to an invalidly-named ref. You could argue
this is a more serious breakage than simple dangling. But the
overall effect is the same (we could not follow the symref), as well
as the impact on things like REF_PARANOIA (either way, a symref we
can't follow won't impact reachability, because we'll see the ref
itself during iteration). The underlying resolution function doesn't
distinguish these two cases (they both get REF_ISBROKEN).
- we change the iterator in refs/files-backend.c where we check
INCLUDE_BROKEN. There's a matching spot in refs/packed-backend.c,
but we don't know need to do anything there. The packed backend does
not support symrefs at all.
The resulting set of flags might be a bit easier to follow if we broke
this down into "INCLUDE_CORRUPT_REFS" and "INCLUDE_DANGLING_SYMREFS".
But there are a few reasons not do so:
- adding a new OMIT_DANGLING_SYMREFS flag lets us leave existing
callers intact, without changing their behavior (and some of them
really do want to see the dangling symrefs; e.g., t5505 has a test
which expects us to report when a symref becomes dangling)
- they're not actually independent. You cannot say "include dangling
symrefs" without also including refs whose objects are not
reachable, because dangling symrefs by definition do not have an
object. We could tweak the implementation to distinguish this, but
in practice nobody wants to ask for that. Adding the OMIT flag keeps
the implementation simple and makes sure we don't regress the
current behavior.

The documentation for the DO_FOR_EACH_* flags is sprinkled over the
refs-internal.h file. We define the two flags in one spot, and then
describe them in more detail far away from there, in the definitions of
refs_ref_iterator_begin() and ref_iterator_advance_fn().
Let's try to organize this a bit better:
- convert the #defines to an enum. This makes it clear that they are
related, and that the enum shows the complete set of flags.
- combine all descriptions for each flag in a single spot, next to the
flag's definition
- use the enum rather than a bare int for functions which take the
flags. This helps readers realize which flags can be used.
- clarify the mention of flags for ref_iterator_advance_fn(). It does
not take flags itself, but is meant to depend on ones set up

When repacking or pruning in a corrupted repository, our tests in t5312
argue that it is OK to complete the operation or bail, as long as we
don't actually delete the objects pointed to by the corruption.
This isn't a wrong line of reasoning, but the tests are a bit permissive
by using test_might_fail. The fact is that we _do_ bail currently, and
if we ever stopped doing so, that would be worthy of a human
investigating. So let's switch these to test_must_fail.

In t5312, we create a state with a broken ref, and then make sure that
destructive repacks don't silently ignore the breakage (where a
destructive repack is one that might drop objects). But we don't check
the behavior of non-destructive repacks at all (i.e., ones where we'd
keep unreachable objects).
So let's add a test to confirm the current behavior, which is that
they are allowed (i.e., ignoring the breakage and considering any
objects it points to as unreachable). This may change in the future, but
we'd like for the test suite to alert us to that fact.

Some tests in t5312 create an illegally-named ref, and then see how
various operations handle it. But between those operations, we also do
some more setup (e.g., repacking), and we are subtly depending on how
those setup steps react to the illegal ref.
To future-proof us against those behaviors changing, let's instead
create and clean up our bogus ref on demand in the tests that need it.
This has two small extra advantages:
- the tests are more stand-alone; we do not need an extra test to clean
up the ref before moving on to other parts of the script
- the creation and cleanup is together in one helper function. Because
these depend on touching the refs in the filesystem directly, they
may need to be tweaked for a world with alternate backends (they have
not been noticed so far in the reftable work because with a non-file
backend the tests don't fail; they simply become uninteresting noops
because the broken ref isn't read at all).

When checking how git-clone behaves when it fails, we stimulate some
failures by trying to do a clone from a local repository whose objects
have been removed. Because these clones use local optimizations, there's
a subtle dependency in how the corruption is handled on the sending
side.
If upload-pack does not show us the broken refs (which it does not
currently), then we see only HEAD (which is itself broken), and clone
that as a detached HEAD. When we try to write the ref, we notice that we
never got the object and bail.
But if upload-pack _does_ show us the broken refs (which it may in a
future patch), then we'll realize that HEAD is a symref and just write
that. You'd think we'd fail when writing out the refs themselves, but we
don't; we do a bulk write and skip the connectivity check because of our
--local optimizations. For the non-bare case, we do notice the problem
when we try to checkout. But for a bare repository, we unexpectedly
complete the clone successfully!
At first glance this may seem like a bug. But the whole point of those
local optimizations is to give up some safety for speed. If you want to
be careful, you should be using "--no-local", which would notice that
the pack did not transfer sufficient objects. We could do that in these
tests, but part of the point is for them to fail at specific moments
(and indeed, we have a later test that checks for transport failure).
However, we can make this less subtle and future-proof it against
changes on the upload-pack side by just having an explicit detached
HEAD in the corrupted repo. Now we'll fail as expected during the ref
write if any ref _or_ HEAD is corrupt, whether we're --bare or not.

A few tests in t5516 want to assert that we can delete a corrupted ref
whose pointed-to object is missing. They do so by using the "main"
branch, which is also pointed to by HEAD.
This does work, but only because of a subtle assumption about the
implementation. We do not block the deletion because of the invalid ref,
but we _also_ do not notice that the deleted branch is pointed to by
HEAD. And so the safety rule of "do not allow HEAD to be deleted in a
non-bare repository" does not kick in, and the test passes.
Let's instead use a non-HEAD branch. That still tests what we care about
here (deleting a corrupt ref), but without implicitly depending on our
failure to notice that we're deleting HEAD. That will future proof the
test against that behavior changing.

The "incremental-repack task" test replaces the object directory with a
