Junio C Hamano ea100b6dcb Merge branch 'js/shallow-and-fetch-prune'
"git repack" in a shallow clone did not correctly update the

Johannes Schindelin 5dcfbf564c repack -ad: prune the list of shallow commits
`git repack` can drop unreachable commits without further warning,
making the corresponding entries in `.git/shallow` invalid, which causes
serious problems when deepening the branches.

One scenario where unreachable commits are dropped by `git repack` is
when a `git fetch --prune` (or even a `git fetch` when a ref was
force-pushed in the meantime) can make a commit unreachable that was
reachable before.

Therefore it is not safe to assume that a `git repack -adlf` will keep
unreachable commits alone (under the assumption that they had not been
packed in the first place, which is an assumption at least some of Git's
code seems to make).

This is particularly important to keep in mind when looking at the
`.git/shallow` file: if any commits listed in that file become
unreachable, it is not a problem, but if they go missing, it *is* a
problem. One symptom of this problem is that a deepening fetch may now
fail with

	fatal: error in object: unshallow <commit-hash>

To avoid this problem, let's prune the shallow list in `git repack` when
the `-d` option is passed, unless `-A` is passed, too (which would force
the now-unreachable objects to be turned into loose objects instead of
being deleted). Additionally, we also need to take `--keep-reachable`
and `--unpack-unreachable=<date>` into account.

Note: an alternative solution discussed during the review of this patch
was to teach `git fetch` to simply ignore entries in .git/shallow if the
corresponding commits do not exist locally. A quick test, however,
revealed that the .git/shallow file is written during a shallow *clone*,
in which case the commits do not exist, either, but the "shallow" line
*does* need to be sent. Therefore, this approach would be a lot more
finicky than the approach presented by the this patch.

Derrick Stolee 0465a50506 multi-pack-index: define GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX
The multi-pack-index feature is tested in isolation by
t5319-multi-pack-index.sh, but there are many more interesting
scenarios in the test suite surrounding pack-file data shapes
and interactions. Since the multi-pack-index is an optional
data structure, it does not make sense to include it by default
in those tests.

Instead, add a new GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX environment variable
that enables core.multiPackIndex and writes a multi-pack-index
after each 'git repack' command. This adds extra test coverage
when needed.

There are a few spots in the test suite that need to react to this
change:

* t5319-multi-pack-index.sh: there is a test that checks that
  'git repack' deletes the multi-pack-index. Disable the environment
  variable to ensure this still happens.

* t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh: One test moves a pack-file from the object
  directory to an alternate. This breaks the multi-pack-index, so
  delete the multi-pack-index at this point, if it exists.

* t9300-fast-import.sh: One test verifies the number of files in
  the .git/objects/pack directory is exactly 8. Exclude the
  multi-pack-index from this count so it is still 8 in all cases.

Derrick Stolee 1dcd9f2043 midx: close multi-pack-index on repack
When repacking, we may remove pack-files. This invalidates the
multi-pack-index (if it exists). Previously, we removed the
multi-pack-index file before removing any pack-file. In some cases,
the repack command may load the multi-pack-index into memory. This
may lead to later in-memory references to the non-existent pack-
files.

Jonathan Tan 5d19e8138d repack: repack promisor objects if -a or -A is set
Currently, repack does not touch promisor packfiles at all, potentially
causing the performance of repositories that have many such packfiles to
drop. Therefore, repack all promisor objects if invoked with -a or -A.

This is done by an additional invocation of pack-objects on all promisor
objects individually given, which takes care of deduplication and allows
the resulting packfiles to respect flags such as --max-pack-size.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy ed7e5fc3a2 repack: add --keep-pack option
We allow to keep existing packs by having companion .keep files. This
is helpful when a pack is permanently kept. In the next patch, git-gc
just wants to keep a pack temporarily, for one pack-objects
run. git-gc can use --keep-pack for this use case.

A note about why the pack_keep field cannot be reused and
pack_keep_in_core has to be added. This is about the case when
--keep-pack is specified together with either --keep-unreachable or
--unpack-unreachable, but --honor-pack-keep is NOT specified.

In this case, we want to exclude objects from the packs specified on
command line, not from ones with .keep files. If only one bit flag is
used, we have to clear pack_keep on pack files with the .keep file.

But we can't make any assumption about unreachable objects in .keep
packs. If "pack_keep" field is false for .keep packs, we could
potentially pull lots of unreachable objects into the new pack, or
unpack them loose. The safer approach is ignore all packs with either
.keep file or --keep-pack.

Jeff King e26a8c4721 repack: extend --keep-unreachable to loose objects
If you use "repack -adk" currently, we will pack all objects
that are already packed into the new pack, and then drop the
old packs. However, loose unreachable objects will be left
as-is. In theory these are meant to expire eventually with
"git prune". But if you are using "repack -k", you probably
want to keep things forever and therefore do not run "git
prune" at all. Meaning those loose objects may build up over
time and end up fooling any object-count heuristics (such as
the one done by "gc --auto", though since git-gc does not
support "repack -k", this really applies to whatever custom
scripts people might have driving "repack -k").

With this patch, we instead stuff any loose unreachable
objects into the pack along with the already-packed
unreachable objects. This may seem wasteful, but it is
really no more so than using "repack -k" in the first place.
We are at a slight disadvantage, in that we have no useful
ordering for the result, or names to hand to the delta code.
However, this is again no worse than what "repack -k" is
already doing for the packed objects. The packing of these
objects doesn't matter much because they should not be
accessed frequently (unless they actually _do_ become
referenced, but then they would get moved to a different
part of the packfile during the next repack).

Jeff King 905f27b86a repack: add --keep-unreachable option
The usual way to do a full repack (and what is done by
git-gc) is to run "repack -Ad --unpack-unreachable=<when>",
which will loosen any unreachable objects newer than
"<when>", and drop any older ones.

This is a safer alternative to "repack -ad", because
"<when>" becomes a grace period during which we will not
drop any new objects that are about to be referenced.
However, it isn't perfectly safe. It's always possible that
a process is about to reference an old object. Even if that
process were to take care to update the timestamp on the
object, there is no atomicity with a simultaneously running
"repack" process.

So while unlikely, there is a small race wherein we may drop
an object that is in the process of being referenced. If you
do automated repacking on a large number of active
repositories, you may hit it eventually, and the result is a
corrupted repository.

It would be nice to fix that race in the long run, but it's
complicated.  In the meantime, there is a much simpler
strategy for automated repository maintenance: do not drop
objects at all. We already have a "--keep-unreachable"
option in pack-objects; we just need to plumb it through
from git-repack.

Note that this _isn't_ plumbed through from git-gc, so at
this point it's strictly a tool for people doing their own
advanced repository maintenance strategy.

Junio C Hamano 8f309aeb82 strbuf: introduce strbuf_getline_{lf,nul}()
The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as
the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these
codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL
and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long
time ago.  No useful caller that uses other value has emerged.

By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a
good reason.  Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read
either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and
then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter.

This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(),
namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and
mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of
them.  The changes contained in this patch are:

 * introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch]

 * mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with
   either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the
   respective thin wrapper.

After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would
become a lot smaller.  An interim goal of this series is to make
this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take
over the shorter name strbuf_getline().

Jeff King 067fbd4105 introduce "preciousObjects" repository extension
If this extension is used in a repository, then no
operations should run which may drop objects from the object
storage. This can be useful if you are sharing that storage
with other repositories whose refs you cannot see.

For instance, if you do:

  $ git clone -s parent child
  $ git -C parent config extensions.preciousObjects true
  $ git -C parent config core.repositoryformatversion 1

you now have additional safety when running git in the
parent repository. Prunes and repacks will bail with an
error, and `git gc` will skip those operations (it will
continue to pack refs and do other non-object operations).
Older versions of git, when run in the repository, will
fail on every operation.

Note that we do not set the preciousObjects extension by
default when doing a "clone -s", as doing so breaks
backwards compatibility. It is a decision the user should
make explicitly.

Jeff King c90f9e13ab repack: pack objects mentioned by the index
When we pack all objects, we use only the objects reachable
from references and reflogs. This misses any objects which
are reachable from the index, but not yet referenced.

By itself this isn't a big deal; the objects can remain
loose until they are actually used in a commit. However, it
does create a problem when we drop packed but unreachable
objects. We try to optimize out the writing of objects that
we will immediately prune, which means we must follow the
same rules as prune in determining what is reachable. And
prune uses the index for this purpose.

This is rather uncommon in practice, as objects in the index
would not usually have been packed in the first place. But
it could happen in a sequence like:

  1. You make a commit on a branch that references blob X.

  2. You repack, moving X into the pack.

  3. You delete the branch (and its reflog), so that X is
     unreferenced.

  4. You "git add" blob X so that it is now referenced only
     by the index.

  5. You repack again with git-gc. The pack-objects we
     invoke will see that X is neither referenced nor
     recent and not bother loosening it.

Most struct child_process variables are cleared using memset first after
declaration.  Provide a macro, CHILD_PROCESS_INIT, that can be used to
initialize them statically instead.  That's shorter, doesn't require a
function call and is slightly more readable (especially given that we
already have STRBUF_INIT, ARGV_ARRAY_INIT etc.).

Jeff King 26936bfd9b use strip_suffix instead of ends_with in simple cases
When stripping a suffix like:

  if (ends_with(str, "foo"))
	buf = xmemdupz(str, strlen(str) - 3);

we can instead use strip_suffix to avoid the constant 3,
which must match the literal "foo" (we sometimes use
strlen("foo") instead, but that means we are repeating
ourselves). The example above becomes:

  if (strip_suffix(str, "foo", &len))
	buf = xmemdupz(str, len);

This also saves a strlen(), since we calculate the string
length when detecting the suffix.

Note that in some cases we also switch from xstrndup to
xmemdupz, which saves a further strlen call.

Jeff King 2bed2d47b4 repack: simplify handling of --write-bitmap-index
We previously needed to pass --no-write-bitmap-index
explicitly to pack-objects to override its reading of
pack.writebitmaps from the config. Now that it no longer
does so, we can assume that bitmaps are off by default, and
only turn them on when necessary. This also lets us avoid a
confusing tri-state flag for write_bitmaps.

Jeff King 3198b89fb2 repack: respect pack.writebitmaps
The config option to turn on bitmaps is read all the way
down in the plumbing of pack-objects. This makes it hard for
other options in the porcelain of repack to make decisions
based on the bitmap setting. For example,
repack.packKeptObjects tries to kick in by default only when
bitmaps are turned on. But it can't do so reliably because
it doesn't yet know whether we are using bitmaps.

This patch teaches repack to respect pack.writebitmaps. It
means we pass a redundant command-line flag to pack-objects,
but that's OK; it shouldn't affect the outcome.

Jeff King 64d3dc9468 repack: do not accidentally pack kept objects by default
Commit ee34a2b (repack: add `repack.packKeptObjects` config
var, 2014-03-03) added a flag which could duplicate kept
objects, but did not mean to turn it on by default. Instead,
the option is tied by default to the decision to write
bitmaps, like:

  if (pack_kept_objects < 0)
	  pack_kept_objects = write_bitmap;

after which we expect pack_kept_objects to be a boolean 0 or
1.  However, that assignment neglects that write_bitmap is
_also_ a tri-state with "-1" as the default, and with
neither option given, we accidentally turn the option on.

This patch is the minimal fix to restore the desired
behavior for the default state. Further patches will fix the
more complicated cases.

Note the update to t7700. It failed to turn on bitmaps,
meaning we were actually confirming the wrong behavior!

Jeff King ee34a2bead repack: add repack.packKeptObjects config var
The git-repack command always passes `--honor-pack-keep`
to pack-objects. This has traditionally been a good thing,
as we do not want to duplicate those objects in a new pack,
and we are not going to delete the old pack.

However, when bitmaps are in use, it is important for a full
repack to include all reachable objects, even if they may be
duplicated in a .keep pack. Otherwise, we cannot generate
the bitmaps, as the on-disk format requires the set of
objects in the pack to be fully closed.

Even if the repository does not generally have .keep files,
a simultaneous push could cause a race condition in which a
.keep file exists at the moment of a repack. The repack may
try to include those objects in one of two situations:

  1. The pushed .keep pack contains objects that were
     already in the repository (e.g., blobs due to a revert of
     an old commit).

  2. Receive-pack updates the refs, making the objects
     reachable, but before it removes the .keep file, the
     repack runs.

In either case, we may prefer to duplicate some objects in
the new, full pack, and let the next repack (after the .keep
file is cleaned up) take care of removing them.

This patch introduces both a command-line and config option
to disable the `--honor-pack-keep` option.  By default, it
is triggered when pack.writeBitmaps (or `--write-bitmap-index`
is turned on), but specifying it explicitly can override the
behavior (e.g., in cases where you prefer .keep files to
bitmaps, but only when they are present).

Note that this option just disables the pack-objects
behavior. We still leave packs with a .keep in place, as we
do not necessarily know that we have duplicated all of their
objects.
