d318027932 run-command: introduce CHILD_PROCESS_INIT
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.).

def0697167 transport: fix leaks in refs_from_alternate_cb
The function starts by creating a copy of the static buffer
returned by real_path, but forgets to free it in the error
code paths. We can solve this by jumping to the cleanup code
that is already there.

f93d7c6fa0 replace memset with string-list initializers
Using memset and then manually setting values of the string-list
members is not future proof as the internal representation of
string-list may change any time.
Use `string_list_init()` or STRING_LIST_INIT_* macros instead of
memset.

cf4fff579e refactor skip_prefix to return a boolean
The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content
past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While
this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use
for two reasons:

  1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string
     as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable.
     For example:

       tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo");
       if (tmp)
	       buf = tmp;

  2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as
     you need extra parentheses to silence compiler
     warnings. For example:

       if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"))
	       /* do something with cp */

Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and
we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line
of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past
the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra
strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but
means we are repeating ourselves).

This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean,
and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the
prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This
lets you write:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg))
	  do_foo(arg);
  else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg))
	  do_bar(arg);

ba928c13d7 push: detect local refspec errors early
When pushing, we do not even look at our push refspecs until
after we have made contact with the remote receive-pack and
gotten its list of refs. This means that we may go to some
work, including asking the user to log in, before realizing
we have simple errors like "git push origin matser".

We cannot catch all refspec problems, since fully evaluating
the refspecs requires knowing what the remote side has. But
we can do a quick sanity check of the local side and catch a
few simple error cases.

4820a33baa fetch: support fetching from a shallow repository
This patch just put together pieces from the 8 steps patch. We stop at
step 7 and reject refs that require new shallow commits.

Note that, by rejecting refs that require new shallow commits, we
leave dangling objects in the repo, which become "object islands" by
the next "git fetch" of the same source.

If the first fetch our "ours" set is zero and we do practically
nothing at step 7, "ours" is full at the next fetch and we may need to
walk through commits for reachability test. Room for improvement.

beea4152d9 clone: support remote shallow repository
Cloning from a shallow repository does not follow the "8 steps for new
.git/shallow" because if it does we need to get through step 6 for all
refs. That means commit walking down to the bottom.

Instead the rule to create .git/shallow is simpler and, more
importantly, cheap: if a shallow commit is found in the pack, it's
probably used (i.e. reachable from some refs), so we add it. Others
are dropped.

One may notice this method seems flawed by the word "probably". A
shallow commit may not be reachable from any refs at all if it's
attached to an object island (a group of objects that are not
reachable by any refs).

If that object island is not complete, a new fetch request may send
more objects to connect it to some ref. At that time, because we
incorrectly installed the shallow commit in this island, the user will
not see anything after that commit (fsck is still ok). This is not
desired.

Given that object islands are rare (C Git never sends such islands for
security reasons) and do not really harm the repository integrity, a
tradeoff is made to surprise the user occasionally but work faster
everyday.

A new option --strict could be added later that follows exactly the 8
steps. "git prune" can also learn to remove dangling objects _and_ the
shallow commits that are attached to them from .git/shallow.

Make the function is_local() in transport.c public, rename it into
url_is_local_not_ssh() and use it in both transport.c and connect.c

Use a protocol "local" for URLs for the local file system.

One note about using file:// under Windows:

The (absolute) path on Unix like system typically starts with "/".
When the host is empty, it can be omitted, so that a shell scriptlet
url=file://$pwd
will give a URL like "file:///home/user/repo".

Windows does not have the same concept of a root directory located in "/".
When parsing the URL allow "file://C:/user/repo"
(even if RFC1738 indicates that "file:///C:/user/repo" should be used).

b26ed4305f fetch: work around "transport-take-over" hack
A Git-aware "connect" transport allows the "transport_take_over" to
redirect generic transport requests like fetch(), push_refs() and
get_refs_list() to the native Git transport handling methods.  The
take-over process replaces transport->data with a fake data that
these method implementations understand.

While this hack works OK for a single request, it breaks when the
transport needs to make more than one requests.  transport->data
that used to hold necessary information for the specific helper to
work correctly is destroyed during the take-over process.

One codepath that this matters is "git fetch" in auto-follow mode;
when it does not get all the tags that ought to point at the history
it got (which can be determined by looking at the peeled tags in the
initial advertisement) from the primary transfer, it internally
makes a second request to complete the fetch.  Because "take-over"
hack has already destroyed the data necessary to talk to the
transport helper by the time this happens, the second request cannot
make a request to the helper to make another connection to fetch
these additional tags.

Mark such a transport as "cannot_reuse", and use a separate
transport to perform the backfill fetch in order to work around
this breakage.

Note that this problem does not manifest itself when running t5802,
because our upload-pack gives you all the necessary auto-followed
tags during the primary transfer.  You would need to step through
"git fetch" in a debugger, stop immediately after the primary
transfer finishes and writes these auto-followed tags, remove the
tag references and repack/prune the repository to convince the
"find-non-local-tags" procedure that the primary transfer failed to
give us all the necessary tags, and then let it continue, in order
to trigger the bug in the secondary transfer this patch fixes.

91048a9537 push --force-with-lease: implement logic to populate old_sha1_expect[]
This plugs the push_cas_option data collected by the command line
option parser to the transport system with a new function
apply_push_cas(), which is called after match_push_refs() has
already been called.

At this point, we know which remote we are talking to, and what
remote refs we are going to update, so we can fill in the details
that may have been missing from the command line, such as

 (1) what abbreviated refname the user gave us matches the actual
     refname at the remote; and

 (2) which remote-tracking branch in our local repository to read
     the value of the object to expect at the remote.

to populate the old_sha1_expect[] field of each of the remote ref.
As stated in the documentation, the use of remote-tracking branch
as the default is a tentative one, and we may come up with a better
logic as we gain experience.

Still nobody uses this information, which is the topic of the next
patch.

47a5918536 cache.h: move remote/connect API out of it

about the local ref used by sha1-name API to name local objects.

It is what refspecs are expanded into, after finding out what refs
the other side has, to define what refs are updated after object
transfer succeeds to what values.  It belongs to "remote.h" together
with "struct refspec".

While we are at it, also move the types and functions related to the

c6807a40dc clone: open a shortcut for connectivity check
In order to make sure the cloned repository is good, we run "rev-list
--objects --not --all $new_refs" on the repository. This is expensive
on large repositories. This patch attempts to mitigate the impact in
this special case.

In the "good" clone case, we only have one pack. If all of the
following are met, we can be sure that all objects reachable from the
new refs exist, which is the intention of running "rev-list ...":

 - all refs point to an object in the pack
 - there are no dangling pointers in any object in the pack
 - no objects in the pack point to objects outside the pack

The second and third checks can be done with the help of index-pack as
a slight variation of --strict check (which introduces a new condition
for the shortcut: pack transfer must be used and the number of objects
large enough to call index-pack). The first is checked in
check_everything_connected after we get an "ok" from index-pack.

"index-pack + new checks" is still faster than the current "index-pack
+ rev-list", which is the whole point of this patch. If any of the
conditions fail, we fall back to the good old but expensive "rev-list
..". In that case it's even more expensive because we have to pay for
the new checks in index-pack. But that should only happen when the
other side is either buggy or malicious.

Cloning linux-2.6 over file://

        before         after
real    3m25.693s      2m53.050s
user    5m2.037s       4m42.396s

sys     0m35.812s      0m37.630s

This shortcut is not applied to shallow clones, partly because shallow
clones should have no more objects than a usual fetch and the cost of
rev-list is acceptable, partly to avoid dealing with corner cases when
grafting is involved.

This shortcut does not apply to unpack-objects code path either
because the number of objects must be small in order to trigger that
code path.

f2db854d24 fetch: use struct ref to represent refs to be fetched
Even though "git fetch" has full infrastructure to parse refspecs to
be fetched and match them against the list of refs to come up with
the final list of refs to be fetched, the list of refs that are
requested to be fetched were internally converted to a plain list of
strings at the transport layer and then passed to the underlying
fetch-pack driver.

Stop this conversion and instead pass around an array of refs.

1d2c14df16 push: fix segfault when HEAD points nowhere
After a push of a branch other than the current branch fails in
a no-ff error and if you are still on an unborn branch, the code
recently added to report the failure dereferenced a null pointer
while checking the name of the current branch.

75e5c0dc55 push: introduce REJECT_FETCH_FIRST and REJECT_NEEDS_FORCE
When we push to update an existing ref, if:

 * the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or
 * the object we are pushing is not a commit,

it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again,
as the old and new objects will not "merge".  We should explain that
the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is
involved in such a case.

If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do
not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be
merged.  In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like
non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in
practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work
to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to
update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work
as a suggestion most of the time.  And if the object at the tip is
not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent
damage.  As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user
will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now
the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved.

In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the
client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the
ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from
there and integrate before pushing again.

Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages
appropriately.

5ece083fc7 push: further clean up fields of "struct ref"
The "nonfastforward" and "update" fields are only used while
deciding what value to assign to the "status" locally in a single
function.  Remove them from the "struct ref".

The "requires_force" field is not used to decide if the proposed
update requires a --force option to succeed, or to record such a
decision made elsewhere.  It is used by status reporting code that
the particular update was "forced".  Rename it to "forced_update",
and move the code to assign to it around to further clarify how it
is used and what it is used for.

ec55559f93 push: Add support for pre-push hooks
Add support for a pre-push hook which can be used to determine if the
set of refs to be pushed is suitable for the target repository.  The
hook is run with two arguments specifying the name and location of the
destination repository.

Information about what is to be pushed is provided by sending lines of
the following form to the hook's standard input:

  <local ref> SP <local sha1> SP <remote ref> SP <remote sha1> LF

If the hook exits with a non-zero status, the push will be aborted.

This will allow the script to determine if the push is acceptable based
on the target repository and branch(es), the commits which are to be
pushed, and even the source branches in some cases.

dbfeddb12e push: require force for refs under refs/tags/
References are allowed to update from one commit-ish to another if the
former is an ancestor of the latter.  This behavior is oriented to
branches which are expected to move with commits.  Tag references are
expected to be static in a repository, though, thus an update to
something under refs/tags/ should be rejected unless the update is
forced.

4ba159996f filter_refs(): delete matched refs from sought list
Remove any references that are available from the remote from the
sought list (rather than overwriting their names with NUL characters,
as previously).  Mark matching entries by writing a non-NULL pointer
to string_list_item::util during the iteration, then use
filter_string_list() later to filter out the entries that have been
marked.

Document this aspect of fetch_pack() in a comment in the header file.
(More documentation is obviously still needed.)
