It's unclear how run-command's use_shell option should impact the
arguments fed to a command. Plausibly it could mean that we glue all of
the arguments together into a string to pass to the shell, in which case
that opens the question of whether the caller needs to quote them.
But in fact we don't implement it that way (and even if we did, we'd
probably auto-quote the arguments as part of the glue step). And we must
not receive quoted arguments, because we might actually optimize out the
shell entirely (i.e., the caller does not even know if a shell will be
involved in the end or not).
Since this ambiguity may have been the cause of a recent bug, let's
document the option a bit.

The peel_ref() interface is confusing and error-prone:
- it's typically used by ref iteration callbacks that have both a
refname and oid. But since they pass only the refname, we may load
the ref value from the filesystem again. This is inefficient, but
also means we are open to a race if somebody simultaneously updates
the ref. E.g., this:
int some_ref_cb(const char *refname, const struct object_id *oid, ...)
{
if (!peel_ref(refname, &peeled))
printf("%s peels to %s",
oid_to_hex(oid), oid_to_hex(&peeled);
}
could print nonsense. It is correct to say "refname peels to..."
(you may see the "before" value or the "after" value, either of
which is consistent), but mentioning both oids may be mixing
before/after values.
Worse, whether this is possible depends on whether the optimization
to read from the current iterator value kicks in. So it is actually
not possible with:
for_each_ref(some_ref_cb);
but it _is_ possible with:
head_ref(some_ref_cb);
which does not use the iterator mechanism (though in practice, HEAD
should never peel to anything, so this may not be triggerable).
- it must take a fully-qualified refname for the read_ref_full() code
path to work. Yet we routinely pass it partial refnames from
callbacks to for_each_tag_ref(), etc. This happens to work when
iterating because there we do not call read_ref_full() at all, and
only use the passed refname to check if it is the same as the
iterator. But the requirements for the function parameters are quite
unclear.
Instead of taking a refname, let's instead take an oid. That fixes both
problems. It's a little funny for a "ref" function not to involve refs
at all. The key thing is that it's optimizing under the hood based on
having access to the ref iterator. So let's change the name to make it
clear why you'd want this function versus just peel_object().
There are two other directions I considered but rejected:
- we could pass the peel information into the each_ref_fn callback.
However, we don't know if the caller actually wants it or not. For
packed-refs, providing it is essentially free. But for loose refs,
we actually have to peel the object, which would be wasteful in most
cases. We could likewise pass in a flag to the callback indicating
whether the peeled information is known, but that complicates those
callbacks, as they then have to decide whether to manually peel
themselves. Plus it requires changing the interface of every
callback, whether they care about peeling or not, and there are many
of them.
- we could make a function to return the peeled value of the current
iterated ref (computing it if necessary), and BUG() otherwise. I.e.:
int peel_current_iterated_ref(struct object_id *out);
Each of the current callers is an each_ref_fn callback, so they'd
mostly be happy. But:
- we use those callbacks with functions like head_ref(), which do
not use the iteration code. So we'd need to handle the fallback
case there, anyway.
- it's possible that a caller would want to call into generic code
that sometimes is used during iteration and sometimes not. This
encapsulates the logic to do the fast thing when possible, and
fallback when necessary.
The implementation is mostly obvious, but I want to call out a few
things in the patch:
- the test-tool coverage for peel_ref() is now meaningless, as it all
collapses to a single peel_object() call (arguably they were pretty
uninteresting before; the tricky part of that function is the
fast-path we see during iteration, but these calls didn't trigger
that). I've just dropped it entirely, though note that some other
tests relied on the tags we created; I've moved that creation to the
tests where it matters.
- we no longer need to take a ref_store parameter, since we'd never
look up a ref now. We do still rely on a global "current iterator"
variable which _could_ be kept per-ref-store. But in practice this
is only useful if there are multiple recursive iterations, at which
point the more appropriate solution is probably a stack of
iterators. No caller used the actual ref-store parameter anyway
(they all call the wrapper that passes the_repository).
- the original only kicked in the optimization when the "refname"
pointer matched (i.e., not string comparison). We do likewise with
the "oid" parameter here, but fall back to doing an actual oideq()
call. This in theory lets us kick in the optimization more often,
though in practice no current caller cares. It should never be
wrong, though (peeling is a property of an object, so two refs
pointing to the same object would peel identically).
- the original took care not to touch the peeled out-parameter unless
we found something to put in it. But no caller cares about this, and
anyway, it is enforced by peel_object() itself (and even in the
optimized iterator case, that's where we eventually end up). We can
shorten the code and avoid an extra copy by just passing the
out-parameter through the stack.

The tests for the 'prefetch' task create remotes and fetch refs into
'refs/prefetch/<remote>/' and tags into 'refs/tags/'. These tests use
the remotes to create objects not intended to be seen by the "local"
repository.
In that sense, the incrmental-repack tasks did not have these objects
and refs in mind. That test replaces the object directory with a
specific pack-file layout for testing the batch-size logic. However,
this causes some operations to start showing warnings such as:
error: refs/prefetch/remote1/one does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/tags/one does not point to a valid object!
This only shows up if you run the tests verbosely and watch the output.
It caught my eye and I _thought_ that there was a bug where 'git gc' or
'git repack' wouldn't check 'refs/prefetch/' before pruning objects.
That is incorrect. Those commands do handle 'refs/prefetch/' correctly.
All that is left is to clean up the tests in t7900-maintenance.sh to
remove these tags and refs that are not being repacked for the
incremental-repack tests. Use update-ref to ensure this works with all
ref backends.

The 'prefetch' task fetches refs from all remotes and places them in the
refs/prefetch/<remote>/ refspace. As this task is intended to run in the
background, this allows users to keep their local data very close to the
remote servers' data while not updating the users' understanding of the
remote refs in refs/remotes/<remote>/.
However, this can clutter 'git log' decorations with copies of the refs
with the full name 'refs/prefetch/<remote>/<branch>'.
The log.excludeDecoration config option was added in a6be5e67 (log: add
log.excludeDecoration config option, 2020-05-16) for exactly this
purpose.
Ensure we set this only for users that would benefit from it by
assigning it at the beginning of the prefetch task. Other alternatives
would be during 'git maintenance register' or 'git maintenance start',
but those might assign the config even when the prefetch task is
disabled by existing config. Further, users could run 'git maintenance
run --task=prefetch' using their own scripting or scheduling. This
provides the best coverage to automatically update the config when
valuable.
It is improbable, but possible, that users might want to run the
prefetch task _and_ see these refs in their log decorations. This seems
incredibly unlikely to me, but users can always opt-in on a
command-by-command basis using --decorate-refs=refs/prefetch/.
Test that this works in a few cases. In particular, ensure that our
assignment of log.excludeDecoration=refs/prefetch/ is additive to other
existing exclusions. Further, ensure we do not add multiple copies in
multiple runs.
