Now that all 'find_revindex_position()' callers have been removed (and
converted to the more descriptive 'offset_to_pack_pos()'), it is almost
safe to get rid of 'find_revindex_position()' entirely. Almost, except
for the fact that 'offset_to_pack_pos()' calls
'find_revindex_position()'.
Inline 'find_revindex_position()' into 'offset_to_pack_pos()', and
then remove 'find_revindex_position()' entirely.
This is a straightforward refactoring with one minor snag.
'offset_to_pack_pos()' used to load the index before calling
'find_revindex_position()'. That means that by the time
'find_revindex_position()' starts executing, 'p->num_objects' can be
safely read. After inlining, be careful to not read 'p->num_objects'
until _after_ 'load_pack_revindex()' (which loads the index as a
side-effect) has been called.
Another small fix that is included is converting the upper- and
lower-bounds to be unsigned's instead of ints. This dates back to
92e5c77c37 (revindex: export new APIs, 2013-10-24)--ironically, the last
time we introduced new APIs here--but this unifies the types.

'estimate_repack_memory()' takes into account the amount of memory
required to load the reverse index in memory by multiplying the assumed
number of objects by the size of the 'revindex_entry' struct.
Prepare for hiding the definition of 'struct revindex_entry' by removing
a 'sizeof()' of that type from outside of pack-revindex.c. Instead,
guess that one off_t and one uint32_t are required per object. Strictly
speaking, this is a worse guess than asking for 'sizeof(struct
revindex_entry)' directly, since the true size of this struct is 16
bytes with padding on the end of the struct in order to align the offset
field.
But, this is an approximation anyway, and it does remove a use of the
'struct revindex_entry' from outside of pack-revindex internals.

Convert another call of 'find_pack_revindex()' to its replacement
'pack_pos_to_offset()'. Likewise:
- Avoid manipulating `struct packed_git`'s `revindex` pointer directly
by removing the pointer-as-array indexing.
- Add an additional guard to check that the offset 'obj_offset()'
points to a real object. This should be the case with well-behaved
callers to 'packed_object_info()', but isn't guarenteed.
Other blocks that fill in various other values from the 'struct
object_info' request handle bad inputs by setting the type to
'OBJ_BAD' and jumping to 'out'. Do the same when given a bad offset
here.
The previous code would have segfaulted when given a bad
'obj_offset' value, since 'find_pack_revindex()' would return
'NULL', and then the line that fills 'oi->disk_sizep' would try to
access 'NULL[1]' with a stride of 16 bytes (the width of 'struct

In the next several patches, we will prepare for loading a reverse index
either in memory (mapping the inverse of the .idx's contents in-core),
or directly from a yet-to-be-introduced on-disk format. To prepare for
that, we'll introduce an API that avoids the caller explicitly indexing
the revindex pointer in the packed_git structure.
There are four ways to interact with the reverse index. Accordingly,
four functions will be exported from 'pack-revindex.h' by the time that
the existing API is removed. A caller may:
1. Load the pack's reverse index. This involves opening up the index,
generating an array, and then sorting it. Since opening the index
can fail, this function ('load_pack_revindex()') returns an int.
Accordingly, it takes only a single argument: the 'struct
packed_git' the caller wants to build a reverse index for.
This function is well-suited for both the current and new API.
Callers will have to continue to open the reverse index explicitly,
but this function will eventually learn how to detect and load a
reverse index from the on-disk format, if one exists. Otherwise, it
will fallback to generating one in memory from scratch.
2. Convert a pack position into an offset. This operation is now
called `pack_pos_to_offset()`. It takes a pack and a position, and
returns the corresponding off_t.
Any error simply calls BUG(), since the callers are not well-suited
to handle a failure and keep going.
3. Convert a pack position into an index position. Same as above; this
takes a pack and a position, and returns a uint32_t. This operation
is known as `pack_pos_to_index()`. The same thinking about error
conditions applies here as well.
4. Find the pack position for a given offset. This operation is now
known as `offset_to_pack_pos()`. It takes a pack, an offset, and a
pointer to a uint32_t where the position is written, if an object
exists at that offset. Otherwise, -1 is returned to indicate
failure.
Unlike some of the callers that used to access '->offset' and '->nr'
directly, the error checking around this call is somewhat more
robust. This is important since callers should always pass an offset
which points at the boundary of two objects. The API, unlike direct
access, enforces that that is the case.
This will become important in a subsequent patch where a caller
which does not but could check the return value treats the signed
`-1` from `find_revindex_position()` as an index into the 'revindex'
array.
Two design warts are carried over into the new API:
- Asking for the index position of an out-of-bounds object will result
in a BUG() (since no such object exists), but asking for the offset
of the non-existent object at the end of the pack returns the total
size of the pack.
This makes it convenient for callers who always want to take the
difference of two adjacent object's offsets (to compute the on-disk
size) but don't want to worry about boundaries at the end of the
pack.
- offset_to_pack_pos() lazily loads the reverse index, but
pack_pos_to_index() doesn't (callers of the former are well-suited
to handle errors, but callers of the latter are not).

Remove support for the magical "repo-abbrev" comment in .mailmap
files. This was added to .mailmap parsing in [1], as a generalized
feature of the git-shortlog Perl script added earlier in [2].
There was no documentation or tests for this feature, and I don't
think it's used in practice anymore.
What it did was to allow you to specify a single string to be
search-replaced with "/.../" in the .mailmap file. E.g. for
linux.git's current .mailmap:
git archive --remote=git@gitlab.com:linux-kernel/linux.git \
HEAD -- .mailmap | grep -a repo-abbrev
# repo-abbrev: /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/
Then when running e.g.:
git shortlog --merges --author=Linus -1 v5.10-rc7..v5.10 | grep Merge
We'd emit (the [...] is mine):
Merge tag [...]git://git.kernel.org/.../tip/tip
But will now emit:
Merge tag [...]git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
I think at this point this is just a historical artifact we can get
rid of. It was initially meant for Linus's own use when we integrated
the Perl script[2], but since then it seems he's stopped using it.
Digging through Linus's release announcements on the LKML[3] the last
release I can find that made use of this output is Linux 2.6.25-rc6
back in March 2008[4]. Later on Linus started using --no-merges[5],
and nowadays seems to prefer some custom not-quite-shortlog format of
merges from lieutenants[6].
You will still see it on linux.git if you run "git shortlog" manually
yourself with --merges, with this removed you can still get the same
output with:
git log --pretty=fuller v5.10-rc7..v5.10 |
sed 's!/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/!/.../!g' |
git shortlog
Arguably we should do the same for the search-replacing of "[PATCH]"
at the beginning with "". That seems to be another relic of a bygone
era when linux.git patches would have their E-Mail subject lines
applied as-is by "git am" or whatever. But we documented that feature
in "git-shortlog(1)", and it seems more widely applicable than
something purely kernel-specific.

"check-mailmap", "blame" and "shortlog" documentation including the
description of the format we link to one canonical place.
This makes things easier for readers, since in our manpage or
web-based[1] output it's not clear that the "MAPPING AUTHORS" sections
aren't subtly different, as opposed to just included.

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.

The cleanup code in `s_update_ref()` is currently duplicated for both
succesful and erroneous exit paths. This commit refactors the function
to have a shared exit path for both cases to remove the duplication.

This commit refactors `append_fetch_head()` to use a `struct strbuf` for
formatting the update which we're about to append to the FETCH_HEAD
file. While the refactoring doesn't have much of a benefit right now, it
serves as a preparatory step to implement atomic fetches where we need
to buffer all updates to FETCH_HEAD and only flush them out if all
reference updates succeeded.
No change in behaviour is expected from this commit.

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 function `git_config_parse_parameter` is responsible for parsing a
`foo.bar=baz`-formatted configuration key, sanitizing the key and then
processing it via the given callback function. Given that we're about to
add a second user which is going to process keys which already has keys
and values separated, this commit extracts a function
`config_parse_pair` which only does the sanitization and processing
part as a preparatory step.
