When working with paths in strbufs, we frequently want to
ensure that a directory contains a trailing slash before
appending to it. We can shorten this code (and make the
intent more obvious) by calling strbuf_complete.
Most of these cases are trivially identical conversions, but
there are two things to note:
- in a few cases we did not check that the strbuf is
non-empty (which would lead to an out-of-bounds memory
access). These were generally not triggerable in
practice, either from earlier assertions, or typically
because we would have just fed the strbuf to opendir(),
which would choke on an empty path.
- in a few cases we indexed the buffer with "original_len"
or similar, rather than the current sb->len, and it is
not immediately obvious from the diff that they are the
same. In all of these cases, I manually verified that
the strbuf does not change between the assignment and
the strbuf_complete call.
This does not convert cases which look like:
if (sb->len && !is_dir_sep(sb->buf[sb->len - 1]))
strbuf_addch(sb, '/');
as those are obviously semantically different. Some of these
cases arguably should be doing that, but that is out of
scope for this change, which aims purely for cleanup with no
behavior change (and at least it will make such sites easier
to find and examine in the future, as we can grep for
strbuf_complete).

When we are allocating a struct with a FLEX_ARRAY member, we
generally compute the size of the array and then sprintf or
strcpy into it. Normally we could improve a dynamic allocation
like this by using xstrfmt, but it doesn't work here; we
have to account for the size of the rest of the struct.
But we can improve things a bit by storing the length that
we use for the allocation, and then feeding it to xsnprintf
or memcpy, which makes it more obvious that we are not
writing more than the allocated number of bytes.
It would be nice if we had some kind of helper for
allocating generic flex arrays, but it doesn't work that
well:
- the call signature is a little bit unwieldy:
d = flex_struct(sizeof(*d), offsetof(d, path), fmt, ...);
You need offsetof here instead of just writing to the
end of the base size, because we don't know how the
struct is packed (partially this is because FLEX_ARRAY
might not be zero, though we can account for that; but
the size of the struct may actually be rounded up for
alignment, and we can't know that).
- some sites do clever things, like over-allocating because
they know they will write larger things into the buffer
later (e.g., struct packed_git here).
So we're better off to just write out each allocation (or
add type-specific helpers, though many of these are one-off
allocations anyway).

resolve_ref already uses a strbuf internally when generating
pathnames, but it uses fixed-size buffers for storing the
refname and symbolic refs. This means that you cannot
actually point HEAD to a ref that is larger than 256 bytes.
We can lift this limit by using strbufs here, too. Like
sb_path, we pass the the buffers into our helper function,
so that we can easily clean up all output paths. We can also
drop the "unsafe" name from our helper function, as it no
longer uses a single static buffer (but of course
resolve_ref_unsafe is still unsafe, because the static
buffers moved there).
As a bonus, we also get to drop some strcpy calls between
the two fixed buffers (that cannot currently overflow
because the two buffers are sized identically).

We sometimes sprintf into fixed-size buffers when we know
that the buffer is large enough to fit the input (either
because it's a constant, or because it's numeric input that
is bounded in size). Likewise with strcpy of constant
strings.
However, these sites make it hard to audit sprintf and
strcpy calls for buffer overflows, as a reader has to
cross-reference the size of the array with the input. Let's
use xsnprintf instead, which communicates to a reader that
we don't expect this to overflow (and catches the mistake in
case we do).

The first thing we do in this function is copy the input
into a strbuf. Of the 4 callers, 3 of them already have a
strbuf we could use. Let's just take the strbuf, and convert
the remaining caller to use a strbuf, rather than a raw
git_path. This is safer, anyway, as remove_dir_recursively
is a non-trivial function that might use the pathname
buffers itself (this is _probably_ OK, as the likely culprit
would be calling resolve_gitlink_ref, but we do not pass the
proper flags to ask it to avoid blowing away gitlinks).

Commit 1a83c24 (git_snpath(): retire and replace with
strbuf_git_path(), 2014-11-30) taught log_ref_setup and
log_ref_write_1 to take a strbuf parameter, rather than a
bare string. It then makes an alias to the strbuf's "buf"
field under the original name.
This made the original diff much shorter, but the resulting
code is more complicated that it needs to be. Since we've
aliased the pointer, we drop our reference to the strbuf to
ensure we don't accidentally change it. But if we simply
drop our alias and use "logfile.buf" directly, we do not
have to worry about this aliasing. It's a larger diff, but
the resulting code is simpler.

In iterating over the loose refs in "refs/foo/", we keep a
running strbuf with "refs/foo/one", "refs/foo/two", etc. But
we also need to access these files in the filesystem, as
".git/refs/foo/one", etc. For this latter purpose, we make a
series of independent calls to git_path(). These are safe
(we only use the result to call stat()), but assigning the
result of git_path is a suspicious pattern that we'd rather
avoid.
This patch keeps a running buffer with ".git/refs/foo/", and
we can just append/reset each directory element as we loop.
This matches how we handle the refnames. It should also be
more efficient, as we do not keep formatting the same
".git/refs/foo" prefix (which can be arbitrarily deep).
Technically we are dropping a call to strbuf_cleanup() on
each generated filename, but that's OK; it wasn't doing
anything, as we are putting in single-level names we read
from the filesystem (so it could not possibly be cleaning up
cruft like "./" in this instance).
A clever reader may also note that the running refname
buffer ("refs/foo/") is actually a subset of the filesystem
path buffer (".git/refs/foo/"). We could get by with one
buffer, indexing the length of $GIT_DIR when we want the
refname. However, having tried this, the resulting code
actually ends up a little more confusing, and the efficiency
improvement is tiny (and almost certainly dwarfed by the
system calls we are making).

As with the previous commit to git_path, assigning the
result of mkpath is suspicious, since it is not clear

low-hanging fruit to use mkpathdup instead of mkpath (with
the downside that we must remember to free the result).

Because git_path uses a static buffer that is shared with
calls to git_path, mkpath, etc, it can be dangerous to
assign the result to a variable or pass it to a non-trivial
function. The value may change unexpectedly due to other
calls.
None of the cases changed here has a known bug, but they're
worth converting away from git_path because:
1. It's easy to use git_pathdup in these cases.
2. They use constructs (like assignment) that make it
hard to tell whether they're safe or not.
The extra malloc overhead should be trivial, as an
allocation should be an order of magnitude cheaper than a
system call (which we are clearly about to make, since we
are constructing a filename). The real cost is that we must
remember to free the result.

If you hide a hierarchy of refs using the transfer.hideRefs
config, there is no way to later override that config to
"unhide" it. This patch implements a "negative" hide which
causes matches to immediately be marked as unhidden, even if
another match would hide it. We take care to apply the
matches in reverse-order from how they are fed to us by the
config machinery, as that lets our usual "last one wins"
config precedence work (and entries in .git/config, for
example, will override /etc/gitconfig).
So you can now do:
$ git config --system transfer.hideRefs refs/secret
$ git config transfer.hideRefs '!refs/secret/not-so-secret'
to hide refs/secret in all repos, except for one public bit
in one specific repo. Or you can even do:
$ git clone \
-u "git -c transfer.hiderefs="!refs/foo" upload-pack" \
remote:repo.git
to clone remote:repo.git, overriding any hiding it has
configured.
There are two alternatives that were considered and
rejected:
1. A generic config mechanism for removing an item from a
list. E.g.: (e.g., "[transfer] hideRefs -= refs/foo").
This is nice because it could apply to other
multi-valued config, as well. But it is not nearly as
flexible. There is no way to say:
[transfer]
hideRefs = refs/secret
hideRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret
Having explicit negative specifications means we can
override previous entries, even if they are not the
same literal string.
2. Adding another variable to override some parts of
hideRefs (e.g., "exposeRefs").
This solves the problem from alternative (1), but it
cannot easily obey the normal config precedence,
because it would use two separate lists. For example:
[transfer]
hideRefs = refs/secret
exposeRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret
hideRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret/no-really-its-secret
With two lists, we have to apply the "expose" rules
first, and only then apply the "hide" rules. But that
does not match what the above config intends.
Of course we could internally parse that to a single
list, respecting the ordering, which saves us having to
invent the new "!" syntax. But using a single name
communicates to the user that the ordering _is_
important. And "!" is well-known for negation, and
should not appear at the beginning of a ref (it is
actually valid in a ref-name, but all entries here
should be fully-qualified, starting with "refs/").

In preparation for adding date modes that may carry extra
information beyond the mode itself, this patch converts the
date_mode enum into a struct.
Most of the conversion is fairly straightforward; we pass
the struct as a pointer and dereference the type field where
necessary. Locations that declare a date_mode can use a "{}"
constructor. However, the tricky case is where we use the
enum labels as constants, like:
show_date(t, tz, DATE_NORMAL);
Ideally we could say:
show_date(t, tz, &{ DATE_NORMAL });
but of course C does not allow that. Likewise, we cannot
cast the constant to a struct, because we need to pass an
actual address. Our options are basically:
1. Manually add a "struct date_mode d = { DATE_NORMAL }"
definition to each caller, and pass "&d". This makes
the callers uglier, because they sometimes do not even
have their own scope (e.g., they are inside a switch
statement).
2. Provide a pre-made global "date_normal" struct that can
be passed by address. We'd also need "date_rfc2822",
"date_iso8601", and so forth. But at least the ugliness
is defined in one place.
3. Provide a wrapper that generates the correct struct on
the fly. The big downside is that we end up pointing to
a single global, which makes our wrapper non-reentrant.
But show_date is already not reentrant, so it does not
matter.
This patch implements 3, along with a minor macro to keep
the size of the callers sane.

* is_null_sha1(old_sha1): Ensure that the reference didn't exist
before the transaction.
* otherwise: Ensure that the reference had the specified value before
the transaction.
delete_ref() had a different convention, namely treating
is_null_sha1(old_sha1) as "don't care". Change it to adhere to the
standard convention to reduce the scope for confusion.
Please note that it is now a bug to pass old_sha1=NULL_SHA1 to
delete_ref() (because it doesn't make sense to delete a reference that
you already know doesn't exist). This is consistent with the behavior
of ref_transaction_delete().
Most of the callers of delete_ref() never pass old_sha1=NULL_SHA1 to
delete_ref(), and are therefore unaffected by this change. The
two exceptions are:
* The call in cmd_update_ref(), which passed NULL_SHA1 if the old
value passed in on the command line was 0{40} or the empty string.
Change that caller to pass NULL in those cases.
Arguably, it should be an error to call "update-ref -d" with the old
value set to "does not exist", just as it is for the `--stdin`
command "delete". But since this usage was accepted until now,
continue to accept it.
* The call in delete_branches(), which could pass NULL_SHA1 if
deleting a broken or symbolic ref. Change it to pass NULL in these
cases.

"refs/foo/bar") among the references being created and between the
references being created and any hypothetical existing references.
Ideally, there shouldn't *be* any existing references when this
function is called. But, at least in the case of the "testgit" remote
helper, "clone" can be called after the remote-tracking "HEAD" and
"master" branches have already been created. So let's just do the
full-blown check.

The following functions are no longer used from outside the refs
module:
* lock_packed_refs()
* add_packed_ref()
* commit_packed_refs()
* rollback_packed_refs()
So make these functions private.
This is an important step, because it means that nobody outside of the
refs module needs to know the difference between loose and packed
references.

"git clone" uses shortcuts when creating the initial set of
references:
* It writes them directly to packed-refs.
* It doesn't lock the individual references (though it does lock the
packed-refs file).
* It doesn't check for refname conflicts between two new references or
between one new reference and any hypothetical old ones.
* It doesn't create reflog entries for the reference creations.
This functionality was implemented in builtin/clone.c. But really that
file shouldn't have such intimate knowledge of how references are
stored. So provide a new function in the refs API,
initial_ref_transaction_commit(), which can be used for initial
reference creation. The new function is based on the ref_transaction
interface.
This means that we can make some other functions private to the refs
module. That will be done in a followup commit.
It would seem to make sense to add a test here that there are no
existing references, because that is how the function *should* be
used. But in fact, the "testgit" remote helper appears to call it
*after* having set up refs/remotes/<name>/HEAD and
refs/remotes/<name>/master, so we can't be so strict. For now, the
function trusts its caller to only call it when it makes sense. Future
commits will add some more limited sanity checks.

docstring and change it to imperative voice.

If we fail to delete the doomed references from the packed-refs file,
then it is unsafe to delete their loose references, because doing so
might expose a value from the packed-refs file that is obsolete and
perhaps even points at an object that has been garbage collected.
So if repack_without_refs() fails, emit a more explicit error message
and bail.

Change the error message from
Could not remove branch %s
to
could not remove reference %s
First of all, the old error message referred to "branch
refs/remotes/origin/foo", which was awkward even for the existing
caller. Normally we would refer to a reference like that as either
"remote-tracking branch origin/foo" or "reference
refs/remotes/origin/foo". Here I take the lazier alternative.
Moreover, now that this function is part of the refs API, it might be
called for refs that are neither branches nor remote-tracking
branches.
While we're at it, convert the error message to lower case, as per our
usual convention.

delete_ref() uses a different convention for its old_sha1 parameter
than, say, ref_transaction_delete(): NULL_SHA1 means not to check the
old value. Make this fact a little bit clearer in the code by handling
it in explicit, commented code rather than burying it in a conditional
expression.

* Add a docstring
* Rename the second parameter to "old_sha1", to be consistent with the
convention used elsewhere in the refs module
