Modify the 'readdir' loop in 'loose_fill_ref_dir' to, rather than 'stat' a
file to determine whether it is a directory or not, use 'get_dtype'.
Currently, the loop uses 'stat' to determine whether each dirent is a
directory itself or not in order to construct the appropriate ref cache
entry. If 'stat' fails (returning a negative value), the dirent is silently
skipped; otherwise, 'S_ISDIR(st.st_mode)' is used to check whether the entry
is a directory.
On platforms that include an entry's d_type in in the 'dirent' struct, this
extra 'stat' check is redundant. We can use the 'get_dtype' method to
extract this information on platforms that support it (i.e. where
NO_D_TYPE_IN_DIRENT is unset), and derive it with 'stat' on platforms that
don't. Because 'stat' is an expensive call, this confers a
modest-but-noticeable performance improvement when iterating over large
numbers of refs (approximately 20% speedup in 'git for-each-ref' in a 30k
ref repo).
Unlike other existing usage of 'get_dtype', the 'follow_symlinks' arg is set
to 1 to replicate the existing handling of symlink dirents. This
unfortunately requires calling 'stat' on the associated entry regardless of
platform, but symlinks in the loose ref store are highly unlikely since
they'd need to be created manually by a user.
Note that this patch also changes the condition for skipping creation of a
ref entry from "when 'stat' fails" to "when the d_type is anything other
than DT_REG or DT_DIR". If a dirent's d_type is DT_UNKNOWN (either because
the platform doesn't support d_type in dirents or some other reason) or
DT_LNK, 'get_dtype' will try to derive the underlying type with 'stat'. If
the 'stat' fails, the d_type will remain 'DT_UNKNOWN' and dirent will be
skipped. However, it will also be skipped if it is any other valid d_type
(e.g. DT_FIFO for named pipes, DT_LNK for a nested symlink). Git does not
handle these properly anyway, so we can safely constrain accepted types to
directories and regular files.

Allow users to be more selective over which refs to pack by adding an

The existing options allow some measure of selectivity. By default
git-pack-refs packs all tags. --all can be used to include all refs,
and the previous commit added the ability to exclude certain refs with
--exclude.
While these knobs give the user some selection over which refs to pack,
it could be useful to give more control. For instance, a repository may
have a set of branches that are rarely updated and would benefit from
being packed. --include would allow the user to easily include a set of
branches to be packed while leaving everything else unpacked.

hash.h depends upon and includes repository.h, due to the definition and
use of the_hash_algo (defined as the_repository->hash_algo). However,
most headers trying to include hash.h are only interested in the layout
of the structs like object_id. Move the parts of hash.h that do not
depend upon repository.h into a new file hash-ll.h (the "low level"
parts of hash.h), and adjust other files to use this new header where
the convenience inline functions aren't needed.
This allows hash.h and object.h to be fairly small, minimal headers. It
also exposes a lot of hidden dependencies on both path.h (which was
brought in by repository.h) and repository.h (which was previously
implicitly brought in by object.h), so also adjust other files to be

The logic to handle worktree refs (worktrees/NAME/REF and
main-worktree/REF) existed in two places:
* ref_type() in refs.c
* parse_worktree_ref() in worktree.c
Collapse this logic together in one function parse_worktree_ref():
this avoids having to cross-check the result of parse_worktree_ref()
and ref_type().
Introduce enum ref_worktree_type, which is slightly different from
enum ref_type. The latter is a misleading name (one would think that
'ref_type' would have the symref option).
Instead, enum ref_worktree_type only makes explicit how a refname
relates to a worktree. From this point of view, HEAD and
refs/bisect/abc are the same: they specify the current worktree
implicitly.
The files-backend must avoid packing refs/bisect/* and friends into
packed-refs, so expose is_per_worktree_ref() separately.

When writing both loose and packed references to disk we first create a
lockfile, write the updated values into that lockfile, and on commit we
rename the file into place. According to filesystem developers, this
behaviour is broken because applications should always sync data to disk
before doing the final rename to ensure data consistency [1][2][3]. If
applications fail to do this correctly, a hard crash of the machine can
easily result in corrupted on-disk data.
This kind of corruption can in fact be easily observed with Git when the
machine hard-resets shortly after writing references to disk. On
machines with ext4, this will likely lead to the "empty files" problem:
the file has been renamed, but its data has not been synced to disk. The
result is that the reference is corrupt, and in the worst case this can
lead to data loss.
Implement a new option to harden references so that users and admins can
avoid this scenario by syncing locked loose and packed references to
disk before we rename them into place.

When reading references via `files_read_raw_ref()` we always consult
both the loose reference, and if that wasn't found, we also consult the
packed-refs file. While this makes sense to read a generic reference, it
is wasteful in the case where we only care about symbolic references:
the packed-refs backend does not support them, and thus it cannot ever
return one for us.
Special-case reading of symbolic references for the files backend such
that we always skip asking the packed-refs backend.
We use `refs_read_symbolic_ref()` extensively to determine whether we
need to skip updating local symbolic references during a fetch, which is
why the change results in a significant speedup when doing fetches in
repositories with huge numbers of references. The following benchmark
executes a mirror-fetch in a repository with about 2 million references

Reading of symbolic and non-symbolic references is currently treated the
same in reference backends: we always call `refs_read_raw_ref()` and
then decide based on the returned flags what type it is. This has one
downside though: symbolic references may be treated different from
normal references in a backend from normal references. The packed-refs
backend for example doesn't even know about symbolic references, and as
a result it is pointless to even ask it for one.
There are cases where we really only care about whether a reference is
symbolic or not, but don't care about whether it exists at all or may be
a non-symbolic reference. But it is not possible to optimize for this
case right now, and as a consequence we will always first check for a
loose reference to exist, and if it doesn't, we'll query the packed-refs
backend for a known-to-not-be-symbolic reference. This is inefficient
and requires us to search all packed references even though we know to
not care for the result at all.
Introduce a new function `refs_read_symbolic_ref()` which allows us to
fix this case. This function will only ever return symbolic references
and can thus optimize for the scenario layed out above. By default, if
the backend doesn't provide an implementation for it, we just use the
old code path and fall back to `read_raw_ref()`. But in case the backend
provides its own, more efficient implementation, we will use that one
instead.
Note that this function is explicitly designed to not distinguish
between missing references and non-symbolic references. If it did, we'd
be forced to always search the packed-refs backend to see whether the
symbolic reference the user asked for really doesn't exist, or if it
exists as a non-symbolic reference.

Remove the now-unused "failure_errno" parameter from the
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() signature. In my recent 96f6623ada (Merge
branch 'ab/refs-errno-cleanup', 2021-11-29) series we made all of its
callers explicitly request the errno via an output parameter.
As that series shows all but one caller ended up passing in a
boilerplate "ignore_errno", since they only cared about whether the
return value was NULL or not, i.e. if the ref could be resolved.
There was one small issue with that series fixed with a follow-up in
31e3912369 (Merge branch 'ab/refs-errno-cleanup', 2022-01-14) a small
bug in that series was fixed.
After those two there was one caller left in sequencer.c that used the
"failure_errno', but as of the preceding commit it uses a boilerplate
"ignore_errno" instead.
This leaves the public refs API without any use of "failure_errno" at
all. We could still do with a bit of cleanup and generalization
between refs.c and refs/files-backend.c before the "reftable"
integration lands, but that's all internal to the reference code
itself.
So let's remove this output parameter. Not only isn't it used now, but
it's unlikely that we'll want it again in the future. We'd like to
slowly move the refs API to a more file-backend independent way of
communicating error codes, having it use a "failure_errno" was only
the first step in that direction. If this or any other function needs
to communicate what specifically is wrong with the requested "refname"
it'll be better to have the function set some output enum of
well-defined error states than piggy-backend on "errno".

When deleting refs from the loose-files refs backend, then we need to be
careful to also delete the same ref from the packed refs backend, if it
exists. If we don't, then deleting the loose ref would "uncover" the
packed ref. We thus always have to queue up deletions of refs for both
the loose and the packed refs backend. This is done in two separate
transactions, where the end result is that the reference-transaction
hook is executed twice for the deleted refs.
This behaviour is quite misleading: it's exposing implementation details
of how the files backend works to the user, in contrast to the logical
updates that we'd really want to expose via the hook. Worse yet, whether
the hook gets executed once or twice depends on how well-packed the
repository is: if the ref only exists as a loose ref, then we execute it
once, otherwise if it is also packed then we execute it twice.
Fix this behaviour and don't execute the reference-transaction hook at
all when refs in the packed-refs backend if it's driven by the files
backend. This works as expected even in case the refs to be deleted only
exist in the packed-refs backend because the loose-backend always queues
refs in its own transaction even if they don't exist such that they can
be locked for concurrent creation. And it also does the right thing in
case neither of the backends has the ref because that would cause the
transaction to fail completely.

Fix a logic error in refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() introduced in a recent
series of mine to abstract the refs API away from errno. See
96f6623ada (Merge branch 'ab/refs-errno-cleanup', 2021-11-29)for that
series.
In that series introduction of "failure_errno" to
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe came in ef18119dec (refs API: add a version
of refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() with "errno", 2021-10-16). There we'd set
"errno = 0" immediately before refs_read_raw_ref(), and then set
"failure_errno" to "errno" if errno was non-zero afterwards.
Then in the next commit 8b72fea7e9 (refs API: make
refs_read_raw_ref() not set errno, 2021-10-16) we started expecting
"refs_read_raw_ref()" to set "failure_errno". It would do that if
refs_read_raw_ref() failed, but it wouldn't be the same errno.
So we might set the "errno" here to any arbitrary bad value, and end
up e.g. returning NULL when we meant to return the refname from
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe(), or the other way around. Instrumenting this
code will reveal cases where refs_read_raw_ref() will fail, and
"errno" and "failure_errno" will be set to different values.
In practice I haven't found a case where this scary bug changed
anything in practice. The reason for that is that we'll not care about
the actual value of "errno" here per-se, but only whether:
1. We have an errno
2. If it's one of ENOENT, EISDIR or ENOTDIR. See the adjacent code
added in a1c1d8170d (refs_resolve_ref_unsafe: handle d/f
conflicts for writes, 2017-10-06)
I.e. if we clobber "failure_errno" with "errno", but it happened to be
one of those three, and we'll clobber it with another one of the three
we were OK.
Perhaps there are cases where the difference ended up mattering, but I
haven't found them. Instrumenting the test suite to fail if "errno"
and "failure_errno" are different shows a lot of failures, checking if
they're different *and* one is but not the other is outside that list
of three "errno" values yields no failures.
But let's fix the obvious bug. We should just stop paying attention to
"errno" in refs_resolve_ref_unsafe(). In addition let's change the
partial resetting of "errno" in files_read_raw_ref() to happen just
before the "return", to ensure that any such bug will be more easily
spotted in the future.

The expire_reflog_ent() function shouldn't need to deal with the
implementation detail of whether or not we're emitting verbose output,
by doing this the --verbose output becomes backend-agnostic, so
reftable will get the same output.

Follow through the work to use the repo interface to access
submodule objects in-process, instead of abusing the alternate

submodule: pass repo to check_has_commit()
object-file: only register submodule ODB if needed
merge-{ort,recursive}: remove add_submodule_odb()
