If a remote has the skipFetchAll setting enabled, then that remote is
not intended for frequent fetching. It makes sense to not fetch that
data during the 'prefetch' maintenance task. Skip that remote in the
iteration without error. The skip_default_update member is initialized
in remote.c:handle_config() as part of initializing the 'struct remote'.

The 'prefetch' maintenance task previously forced the following refspec
for each remote:
+refs/heads/*:refs/prefetch/<remote>/*
If a user has specified a more strict refspec for the remote, then this
prefetch task downloads more objects than necessary.
The previous change introduced the '--prefetch' option to 'git fetch'
which manipulates the remote's refspec to place all resulting refs into
refs/prefetch/, with further partitioning based on the destinations of
those refspecs.
Update the documentation to be more generic about the destination refs.
Do not mention custom refspecs explicitly, as that does not need to be
highlighted in this documentation. The important part of placing refs in
refs/prefetch/ remains.

The --prefetch option will be used by the 'prefetch' maintenance task
instead of sending refspecs explicitly across the command-line. The
intention is to modify the refspec to place all results in
refs/prefetch/ instead of anywhere else.
Create helper method filter_prefetch_refspec() to modify a given refspec
to fit the rules expected of the prefetch task:
* Negative refspecs are preserved.
* Refspecs without a destination are removed.
* Refspecs whose source starts with "refs/tags/" are removed.
* Other refspecs are placed within "refs/prefetch/".
Finally, we add the 'force' option to ensure that prefetch refs are
replaced as necessary.
There are some interesting cases that are worth testing.
An earlier version of this change dropped the "i--" from the loop that
deletes a refspec item and shifts the remaining entries down. This
allowed some refspecs to not be modified. The subtle part about the
first --prefetch test is that the "refs/tags/*" refspec appears directly
before the "refs/heads/bogus/*" refspec. Without that "i--", this
ordering would remove the "refs/tags/*" refspec and leave the last one
unmodified, placing the result in "refs/heads/*".
It is possible to have an empty refspec. This is typically the case for
remotes other than the origin, where users want to fetch a specific tag
or branch. To correctly test this case, we need to further remove the
upstream remote for the local branch. Thus, we are testing a refspec
that will be deleted, leaving nothing to fetch.

Side note: it is possible to turn off the "Null device driver" and

On write() errors, packet_write() dies with the same error message that
is already printed by its callee, packet_write_gently(). This produces
an unnecessarily verbose and repetitive output:
error: packet write failed
fatal: packet write failed: <strerror() message>
In addition to that, packet_write_gently() does not always fulfill its
caller expectation that errno will be properly set before a non-zero
return. In particular, that is not the case for a "data exceeds max
packet size" error. So, in this case, packet_write() will call
die_errno() and print an strerror(errno) message that might be totally
unrelated to the actual error.
Fix both those issues by turning packet_write() and
packet_write_gently() into wrappers to a common lower level function
that doesn't print the error message, but instead returns it on a buffer
for the caller to die() or error() as appropriate.

The same "do not capitalize the first word" rule is applied to both

was fuzzy in two aspects.
* For error messages, it was not said that this was only about the
first word that begins the sentence.
* For both, it was not clear when a capital letter there was not an
error. We avoid capitalizing the first word when the only reason
you would capitalize it is because it happens to be the first

in capital letters, happens to come at the beginning of the
sentence, it should be kept in capital letters.

When --exclude-promisor-objects is given, before traversing any objects
we iterate over all of the objects in any promisor packs, marking them
as UNINTERESTING and SEEN. We turn the oid we get from iterating the
pack into an object with parse_object(), but this has two problems:
- it's slow; we are zlib inflating (and reconstructing from deltas)
every byte of every object in the packfile
- it leaves the tree buffers attached to their structs, which means
our heap usage will grow to store every uncompressed tree
simultaneously. This can be gigabytes.
We can obviously fix the second by freeing the tree buffers after we've
parsed them. But we can observe that the function doesn't look at the
object contents at all! The only reason we call parse_object() is that
we need a "struct object" on which to set the flags. There are two
options here:
- we can look up just the object type via oid_object_info(), and then
call the appropriate lookup_foo() function
- we can call lookup_unknown_object(), which gives us an OBJ_NONE
struct (which will get auto-converted later by object_as_type() via
calls to lookup_commit(), etc).
The first one is closer to the current code, but we do pay the price to
look up the type for each object. The latter should be more efficient in
CPU, though it wastes a little bit of memory (the "unknown" object
structs are a union of all object types, so some of the structs are
bigger than they need to be). It also runs the risk of triggering a
latent bug in code that calls lookup_object() directly but isn't ready
to handle OBJ_NONE (such code would already be buggy, but we use
lookup_unknown_object() infrequently enough that it might be hiding).
I went with the second option here. I don't think the risk is high (and
we'd want to find and fix any such bugs anyway), and it should be more
efficient overall.
The new tests in p5600 show off the improvement (this is on git.git):
Test HEAD^ HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5600.5: count commits 0.37(0.37+0.00) 0.38(0.38+0.00) +2.7%
5600.6: count non-promisor commits 11.74(11.37+0.37) 0.04(0.03+0.00) -99.7%
The improvement is particularly big in this script because _every_
object in the newly-cloned partial repo is a promisor object. So after
marking them all, there's nothing left to traverse.

All of the other lookup_foo() functions take a repository argument, but
lookup_unknown_object() was never converted, and it uses the_repository
internally. Let's fix that.
We could leave a wrapper that uses the_repository, but there aren't that
many calls, so we'll just convert them all. I looked briefly at each
site to see if we had a repository struct (besides the_repository) we
could pass, but none of them do (so this conversion to pass
the_repository is a pure noop in each case, though it does take us one
step closer to eventually getting rid of the_repository).

To get the list of all promisor objects, we not only include all objects
in promisor packs, but also parse each of those objects to see which
objects they reference. After parsing a tree object, the tree->buffer
field will remain populated until we explicitly free it. So in a partial
clone of blob:none, for example, we are essentially reading every tree
in the repository (since they're all in the initial promisor pack), and
keeping all of their uncompressed contents in memory at once.
This patch frees the tree buffers after we've finished marking all of
their reachable objects. We shouldn't need to do this for any other
object type. While we are using some extra memory to store the structs,
no other object type stores the whole contents in its parsed form (we do
sometimes hold on to commit buffers, but less so these days due to
commit graphs, plus most commands which care about promisor objects turn
off the save_commit_buffer global).
Even for a moderate-sized repository like git.git, this patch drops the
peak heap (as measured by massif) for git-fsck from ~1.7GB to ~138MB.
Fsck is a good candidate for measuring here because it doesn't interact
with the promisor code except to call is_promisor_object(), so we can
isolate just this problem.
The added perf test shows only a tiny improvement on my machine for
git.git, since 1.7GB isn't enough to cause any real memory pressure:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5600.4: fsck 21.26(20.90+0.35) 20.84(20.79+0.04) -2.0%
With linux.git the absolute change is a bit bigger, though still a small
percentage:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5600.4: fsck 262.26(259.13+3.12) 254.92(254.62+0.29) -2.8%
I didn't have the patience to run it under massif with linux.git, but
it's probably on the order of about 14GB improvement, since that's the
sum of the sizes of all of the uncompressed trees (but still isn't
enough to create memory pressure on this particular machine, which has
64GB of RAM). Smaller machines would probably see a bigger effect on
runtime (and sadly our perf suite does not measure peak heap).

When serving a clone or fetch with bitmaps, after deciding which objects
need to be sent our "pack reuse" mechanism kicks in: we try to send
more-or-less verbatim a bunch of objects from the beginning of the
bitmapped packfile without even adding them to the to_pack.objects
array.
After deciding which objects will be in the "reused" portion, we update
nr_result to account for those, and then trigger display_progress() to
show the user (who is undoubtedly dazzled that we managed to enumerate
so many objects so quickly).
But then something confusing happens: the "Enumerating objects" progress
meter jumps _backwards_, counting up from zero the number of objects we
actually add into to_pack.objects.
This worked correctly once upon a time, but was broken in 5af050437a
(pack-objects: show some progress when counting kept objects,
2018-04-15), when the latter half of that progress meter switched to
using a separate nr_seen counter, rather than nr_result. Nobody noticed
for two reasons:
- prior to the pack-reuse fixes from a14aebeac3 (Merge branch
'jk/packfile-reuse-cleanup', 2020-02-14), the reuse code almost
never kicked in anyway
- the output looks _kind of_ correct. The "backwards" moment is hard
to catch, because we overwrite the old progress number with the new
one, and the larger number is displayed only for a second. So unless
you look at that exact second, you just see the much smaller value,
counting up to the number of non-reused objects (though of course if
you catch it in stderr, or look at GIT_TRACE_PACKET from a server
with bitmaps, you can see both values).
This smaller output isn't wrong per se, but isn't counting what we ever
intended to. We should give the user the whole number of objects we
considered (which, as per 5af050437a's original purpose, is already
_not_ a count of what goes into to_pack.objects). The follow-on
"Counting objects" meter shows the actual number of objects we feed into
that array.
We can easily fix this by bumping (and showing) nr_seen for the
pack-reused objects. When the included test is run without this patch,
the second pack-objects invocation produces "Enumerating objects: 1" to
show the one loose object, even though the resulting pack has hundreds
of objects in it. With it, we jump to "Enumerating objects: 674" after
deciding on reuse, and then "675" when we add in the loose object.
