Make git checkout (and other unpack_tree operations) preserve the
untracked cache. This is valuable for two reasons:
1. Often, an unpack_tree operation will not touch large parts of the
working tree, and thus most of the untracked cache will continue to be
valid.
2. Even if the untracked cache were entirely invalidated by such an
operation, the user has signaled their intention to have such a cache,
and we don't want to throw it away.

Some platforms have ulong that is smaller than time_t, and our

represent some timestamp that the platform allows. Invent a

Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).
So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.
By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.
As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

If setup_git_directory() and friends have not been called,
get_git_dir() (because of includeIf.gitdir:XXX) would lead to
die("BUG: setup_git_env called without repository");
There are two cases when a config file could be read before $GIT_DIR
is located.
The first one is check_repository_format(), where we read just the one
file $GIT_DIR/config to check if we could understand this
repository. This case should be safe. We do not parse include
directives, which can only be triggered from git_config_with_options,
but setup code uses a lower-level function. The concerned variables
should never be hidden away behind includes anyway.
The second one is triggered in check_pager_config() when we're about
to run an external git command. We might be able to find $GIT_DIR in
this case, which is exactly what read_early_config() does (and also is
what check_pager_config() uses). Conditional includes and
get_git_dir() could be triggered by the first
git_config_with_options() call there, before discover_git_directory()
is used as a fallback $GIT_DIR detection.
Detect this special "early reading" case, pass down the $GIT_DIR,
either from previous setup or detected by discover_git_directory(),
and make conditional include use it.

The odb_mkstemp() function expects the caller to provide a
fixed buffer to write the resulting tempfile name into. But
it creates the template using snprintf without checking the
return value. This means we could silently truncate the
filename.
In practice, it's unlikely that the truncation would end in
the template-pattern that mkstemp needs to open the file. So
we'd probably end up failing either way, unless the path was
specially crafted.
The simplest fix would be to notice the truncation and die.
However, we can observe that most callers immediately
xstrdup() the result anyway. So instead, let's switch to
using a strbuf, which is easier for them (and isn't a big
deal for the other 2 callers, who can just strbuf_release
when they're done with it).
Note that many of the callers used static buffers, but this
was purely to avoid putting a large buffer on the stack. We
never passed the static buffers out of the function, so
there's no complicated memory handling we need to change.

The odb_mkstemp function does not return an error; it dies
on failure instead. But many of its callers compare the
resulting descriptor against -1 and die themselves.
Mostly this is just pointless, but it does raise a question
when looking at the callers: if they show the results of the
"template" buffer after a failure, what's in it? The answer
is: it doesn't matter, because it cannot happen.
So let's make that clear by removing the bogus error checks.
In bitmap_writer_finish(), we can drop the error-handling
code entirely. In the other two cases, it's shared with the
open() in another code path; we can just move the
error-check next to that open() call.
And while we're at it, let's flesh out the function's
docstring a bit to make the error behavior clear.

The prefix_filename() function returns a pointer to static
storage, which makes it easy to use dangerously. We already
fixed one buggy caller in hash-object recently, and the
calls in apply.c are suspicious (I didn't dig in enough to
confirm that there is a bug, but we call the function once
in apply_all_patches() and then again indirectly from
parse_chunk()).
Let's make it harder to get wrong by allocating the return
value. For simplicity, we'll do this even when the prefix is
empty (and we could just return the original file pointer).
That will cause us to allocate sometimes when we wouldn't
otherwise need to, but this function isn't called in
performance critical code-paths (and it already _might_
allocate on any given call, so a caller that cares about
performance is questionable anyway).
The downside is that the callers need to remember to free()
the result to avoid leaking. Most of them already used
xstrdup() on the result, so we know they are OK. The
remainder have been converted to use free() as appropriate.
I considered retaining a prefix_filename_unsafe() for cases
where we know the static lifetime is OK (and handling the
cleanup is awkward). This is only a handful of cases,
though, and it's not worth the mental energy in worrying
about whether the "unsafe" variant is OK to use in any
situation.

This function takes the prefix as a ptr/len pair, but in

simplify the interface and just take the string. This saves
callers specifying it (and in some cases handling a NULL
prefix).
In a handful of cases we had the length already without
calling strlen, so this is technically slower. But it's not

The odb_pack_keep() function generates the name of a .keep
file and opens it. This has two problems:
1. It requires a fixed-size buffer to create the filename
and doesn't notice when the result is truncated.
2. Of the two callers, one sometimes wants to open a
filename it already has, which makes things awkward (it
has to do so manually, and skips the leading-directory
creation).

Many developers use functionality in their editors that allows for quick
syntax checks, including warning about questionable constructs. This
functionality allows rapid development with fewer errors. However, such
functionality generally does not allow the specification of
project-specific defines or command-line options.
Since the SHA1_HEADER include is not defined in such a case,
developers see spurious errors when using these tools. Furthermore,
there are known implementations of "cc" whose '#include' is unhappy
with this construct.
Instead of using SHA1_HEADER, create a hash.h header and use #if
and #elif to select the desired header. Have the Makefile pass an
appropriate option to help the header select the right implementation to
use.

strbuf_realpath() with die_on_error = 1 while real_pathdup() calls
it with die_on_error = 0. Meaning that in cases where real_path()
causes Git to die() with an error message, real_pathdup() is silent
and returns NULL instead.
The callers, however, are ill-prepared for that change, as they expect
the return value to be non-NULL (and otherwise the function died
with an appropriate error message).
Fix this by extending real_pathdup()'s signature to accept the
die_on_error flag and simply pass it through to strbuf_realpath(),
and then adjust all callers after a careful audit whether they would
handle NULLs well.

The interpret_branch_name() function converts names like
@{-1} and @{upstream} into branch names. The expanded ref
names are not fully qualified, and may be outside of the
refs/heads/ namespace (e.g., "@" expands to "HEAD", and
"@{upstream}" is likely to be in "refs/remotes/").
This is OK for callers like dwim_ref() which are primarily
interested in resolving the resulting name, no matter where
it is. But callers like "git branch" treat the result as a
branch name in refs/heads/. When we expand to a ref outside
that namespace, the results are very confusing (e.g., "git
branch @" tries to create refs/heads/HEAD, which is
nonsense).
Callers can't know from the returned string how the
expansion happened (e.g., did the user really ask for a
branch named "HEAD", or did we do a bogus expansion?). One
fix would be to return some out-parameters describing the
types of expansion that occurred. This has the benefit that
the caller can generate precise error messages ("I
understood @{upstream} to mean origin/master, but that is a
remote tracking branch, so you cannot create it as a local
name").
However, out-parameters make the function interface somewhat
cumbersome. Instead, let's do the opposite: let the caller
tell us which elements to expand. That's easier to pass in,
and none of the callers give more precise error messages
than "@{upstream} isn't a valid branch name" anyway (which
should be sufficient).
The strbuf_branchname() function needs a similar parameter,
as most of the callers access interpret_branch_name()
through it.
We can break the callers down into two groups:
1. Callers that are happy with any kind of ref in the
result. We pass "0" here, so they continue to work
without restrictions. This includes merge_name(),
the reflog handling in add_pending_object_with_path(),
and substitute_branch_name(). This last is what powers
dwim_ref().
2. Callers that have funny corner cases (mostly in
git-branch and git-checkout). These need to make use of
the new parameter, but I've left them as "0" in this
patch, and will address them individually in follow-on
patches.

The parse_config_key() function was introduced to make it
easier to match "section.subsection.key" variables. It also
handles the simpler "section.key", and the caller is
responsible for distinguishing the two from its
out-parameters.
Most callers who _only_ want "section.key" would just use a
strcmp(var, "section.key"), since there is no parsing
required. However, they may still use parse_config_key() if
their "section" variable isn't a constant (an example of
this is in parse_hide_refs_config).
Using the parse_config_key is a bit clunky, though:
const char *subsection;
int subsection_len;
const char *key;
if (!parse_config_key(var, section, &subsection, &subsection_len, &key) &&
!subsection) {
/* matched! */
}
Instead, let's treat a NULL subsection as an indication that
the caller does not expect one. That lets us write:
const char *key;
if (!parse_config_key(var, section, NULL, NULL, &key)) {
/* matched! */
}
Existing callers should be unaffected, as passing a NULL
subsection would currently segfault.

When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs
that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we
know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and
that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a
hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old
history immediately).
However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log
for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than
the performance implications of keeping the log around.
This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates
option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless
where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like
ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

It's surprisingly hard to ask the sha1_file code to open a
_specific_ incarnation of a loose object. Most of the
functions take a sha1, and loop over the various object
types (packed versus loose) and locations (local versus
alternates) at a low level.
However, some tools like fsck need to look at a specific
file. This patch gives them a function they can use to open
the loose object at a given path.
The implementation unfortunately ends up repeating bits of
related functions, but there's not a good way around it
without some major refactoring of the whole sha1_file stack.
We need to mmap the specific file, then partially read the
zlib stream to know whether we're streaming or not, and then
finally either stream it or copy the data to a buffer.
We can do that by assembling some of the more arcane
internal sha1_file functions, but we end up having to
essentially reimplement unpack_sha1_file(), along with the
streaming bits of check_sha1_signature().
Still, most of the ugliness is contained in the new
function, and the interface is clean enough that it may be
reusable (though it seems unlikely anything but git-fsck
would care about opening a specific file).

There are three codepaths that use a variable whose name is
pack_compression_level to affect how objects and deltas sent to a
packfile is compressed. Unlike zlib_compression_level that controls
the loose object compression, however, this variable was static to
each of these codepaths. Two of them read the pack.compression
configuration variable, using core.compression as the default, and
one of them also allowed overriding it from the command line.
The other codepath in bulk-checkin did not pay any attention to the
configuration.
Unify the configuration parsing to git_default_config(), where we
implement the parsing of core.loosecompression and core.compression
and make the former override the latter, by moving code to parse
pack.compression and also allow core.compression to give default to

When we open object files, we try to do so with O_NOATIME.
This dates back to 144bde78e9 (Use O_NOATIME when opening
the sha1 files., 2005-04-23), which is an optimization to
avoid creating a bunch of dirty inodes when we're accessing
many objects. But a few things have changed since then:
1. In June 2005, git learned about packfiles, which means
we would do a lot fewer atime updates (rather than one
per object access, we'd generally get one per packfile).
2. In late 2006, Linux learned about "relatime", which is
generally the default on modern installs. So
performance around atimes updates is a non-issue there
these days.
All the world isn't Linux, but as it turns out, Linux
is the only platform to implement O_NOATIME in the
first place.
So it's very unlikely that this code is helping anybody
these days.

Git generally does not explicitly close file descriptors that were

of the time the child does not want to access them. As Windows does
not allow removing or renaming a file that has a file descriptor

The way we structured the fallback/retry mechanism for opening with
O_NOATIME and O_CLOEXEC meant that if we failed due to lack of
support to open the file with O_NOATIME option (i.e. EINVAL), we
would still try to drop O_CLOEXEC first and retry, and then drop
O_NOATIME. A platform on which O_NOATIME is defined in the header
without support from the kernel wouldn't have a chance to open with
O_CLOEXEC option due to this code structure.
Arguably, O_CLOEXEC is more important than O_NOATIME, as the latter
is mostly about performance, while the former can affect correctness.
Instead use O_CLOEXEC to open the file, and then use fcntl(2) to set
O_NOATIME on the resulting file descriptor. open(2) itself does not
cause atime to be updated according to Linus [*1*].
The helper to do the former can be usable in the codepath in
ce_compare_data() that was recently added to open a file descriptor
with O_CLOEXEC; use it while we are at it.

In order for the receiving end of "git push" to inspect the

When we auto-follow tags in a fetch, we look at all of the
tags advertised by the remote and fetch ones where we don't
already have the tag, but we do have the object it peels to.
This involves a lot of calls to has_sha1_file(), some of
which we can reasonably expect to fail. Since 45e8a74
(has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving up,
2013-08-30), this may cause many calls to
reprepare_packed_git(), which is potentially expensive.
This has gone unnoticed for several years because it
requires a fairly unique setup to matter:
1. You need to have a lot of packs on the client side to
make reprepare_packed_git() expensive (the most
expensive part is finding duplicates in an unsorted
list, which is currently quadratic).
2. You need a large number of tag refs on the server side
that are candidates for auto-following (i.e., that the
client doesn't have). Each one triggers a re-read of
the pack directory.
3. Under normal circumstances, the client would
auto-follow those tags and after one large fetch, (2)
would no longer be true. But if those tags point to
history which is disconnected from what the client
otherwise fetches, then it will never auto-follow, and
those candidates will impact it on every fetch.
So when all three are true, each fetch pays an extra
O(nr_tags * nr_packs^2) cost, mostly in string comparisons
on the pack names. This was exacerbated by 47bf4b0
(prepare_packed_git_one: refactor duplicate-pack check,
2014-06-30) which uses a slightly more expensive string
check, under the assumption that the duplicate check doesn't
happen very often (and it shouldn't; the real problem here
is how often we are calling reprepare_packed_git()).
This patch teaches fetch to use HAS_SHA1_QUICK to sacrifice
accuracy for speed, in cases where we might be racy with a
simultaneous repack. This is similar to the fix in 0eeb077
(index-pack: avoid excessive re-reading of pack directory,
2015-06-09). As with that case, it's OK for has_sha1_file()
occasionally say "no I don't have it" when we do, because
the worst case is not a corruption, but simply that we may
fail to auto-follow a tag that points to it.
Here are results from the included perf script, which sets
up a situation similar to the one described above:

We pre-size the scratch buffer to hold a loose object
filename of the form "xx/yyyy...", which leads to allocation
code that is hard to verify. We have to use some magic
numbers during the initial allocation, and then writers must
blindly assume that the buffer is big enough. Using a strbuf
makes it more clear that we cannot overflow.
Unfortunately, we do still need some magic numbers to grow
our strbuf before calling fill_sha1_path(), but the strbuf
growth is much closer to the point of use. This makes it
easier to see that it's correct, and opens the possibility
of pushing it even further down if fill_sha1_path() learns
to work on strbufs.

The alternate_object_database struct uses a single buffer
both for storing the path to the alternate, and as a scratch
buffer for forming object names. This is efficient (since
otherwise we'd end up storing the path twice), but it makes
life hard for callers who just want to know the path to the
alternate. They have to remember to stop reading after
"alt->name - alt->base" bytes, and to subtract one for the
trailing '/'.
It would be much simpler if they could simply access a
NUL-terminated path string. We could encapsulate this in a
function which puts a NUL in the scratch buffer and returns
the string, but that opens up questions about the lifetime
of the result. The first time another caller uses the
alternate, the scratch buffer may get other data tacked onto
it.
Let's instead just store the root path separately from the
scratch buffer. There aren't enough alternates being stored
for the duplicated data to matter for performance, and this
keeps things simple and safe for the callers.

Add a super-prefix environment variable 'GIT_INTERNAL_SUPER_PREFIX'
which can be used to specify a path from above a repository down to its
root. When such a super-prefix is specified, the paths reported by Git
are prefixed with it to make them relative to that directory "above".
The paths given by the user on the command line
(e.g. "git subcmd --output-file=path/to/a/file" and pathspecs) are taken
relative to the directory "above" to match.
The immediate use of this option is by commands which have a
--recurse-submodule option in order to give context to submodules about
how they were invoked. This option is currently only allowed for
builtins which support a super-prefix.

When given an abbreviated object name that is not (or more
realistically, "no longer") unique, we gave a fatal error
"ambiguous argument". This error is now accompanied by hints that
lists the objects that begins with the given prefix. During the
course of development of this new feature, numerous minor bugs were
uncovered and corrected, the most notable one of which is that we
gave "short SHA1 xxxx is ambiguous." twice without good reason.

The get_short_sha1() is only about reading short sha1s; we
do call it in a loop to check "is this long enough" for each
object, but otherwise it should not need to know about
things like our default_abbrev setting.
So instead of asking it to set default_automatic_abbrev as a
side-effect, let's just have find_unique_abbrev() pick the
right place to start its loop. This requires a separate
approximate_object_count() function, but that naturally
belongs with the rest of sha1_file.c.

"git init" tried to record core.worktree in the repository's
'config' file when GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable was set and
it was different from where GIT_DIR appears as ".git" at its top,
but the logic was faulty when .git is a "gitdir:" file that points
at the real place, causing trouble in working trees that are
managed by "git worktree". This has been corrected.

init: do not set unnecessary core.worktree
init: kill set_git_dir_init()
init: call set_git_dir_init() from within init_db()

In fairly early days we somehow decided to abbreviate object names
down to 7-hexdigits, but as projects grow, it is becoming more and
more likely to see such a short object names made in earlier days
and recorded in the log messages no longer unique.
Currently the Linux kernel project needs 11 to 12 hexdigits, while
Git itself needs 10 hexdigits to uniquely identify the objects they
have, while many smaller projects may still be fine with the
original 7-hexdigit default. One-size does not fit all projects.
Introduce a mechanism, where we estimate the number of objects in
the repository upon the first request to abbreviate an object name
with the default setting and come up with a sane default for the
repository. Based on the expectation that we would see collision in
a repository with 2^(2N) objects when using object names shortened
to first N bits, use sufficient number of hexdigits to cover the
number of objects in the repository. Each hexdigit (4-bits) we add
to the shortened name allows us to have four times (2-bits) as many
objects in the repository.

We'll be introducing a new way to decide the default abbreviation
length by initialising DEFAULT_ABBREV to -1 to signal the first call
to "find unique abbreviation" codepath to compute a reasonable value
based on the number of objects we have to avoid collisions.
We have long relied on DEFAULT_ABBREV being a positive concrete
value that is used as the abbreviation length when no extra
configuration or command line option has overridden it. Some
codepaths wants to use such a positive concrete default value
even before making their first request to actually trigger the
computation for the auto sized default.
Introduce FALLBACK_DEFAULT_ABBREV and use it to the code that
attempts to align the report from "git fetch". For now, this
macro is also used to initialize the default_abbrev variable,
but the auto-sizing code will use -1 and then use the value of
FALLBACK_DEFAULT_ABBREV as the starting point of auto-sizing.

When we find ambiguous short sha1s, we may get a
disambiguation rule from our caller's context. But if we
don't, we fall back to treating all sha1s the same, even
though most projects will tend to refer only to commits by
their short sha1s.
This patch introduces a configuration option that lets the
user pick a different fallback (e.g., only commits). It's
possible that we may want to make this the default, but it's
a good idea to start as a config option for two reasons:
1. It lets people experiment with this and see if it's a
good idea (i.e., the "tend to" above is an assumption;
we don't really know if this will break some obscure
cases).
2. Even if we do flip the default, it gives people an
escape hatch if it causes problems (you can sometimes
override it by asking for "1234^{tree}", but not all
combinations are possible).

The get_sha1() family of functions takes a flags field, but
some of the flags are mutually exclusive. In particular, we
can only handle one disambiguating function, and the flags
quietly override each other. Let's instead detect these as
programming bugs.
Technically some of the flags are supersets of the others,
so treating COMMITTISH|TREEISH as just COMMITTISH is not
wrong, but it's a good sign the caller is confused. And
certainly asking for BLOB|TREE does not work.
We can do the check easily with some bit-twiddling, and as a
bonus, the bit-mask of disambiguators will come in handy in
a future patch.

After we copy the templates into place, we re-read the
config in case we copied in a default config file. But since
git_config() is backed by a cache these days, it's possible
that the call will not actually touch the filesystem at all;
we need to tell it that something has changed behind the
scenes.
Note that we also need to reset the shared_repository
config. At first glance, it seems like this should probably
just be folded into git_config_clear(). But unfortunately
that is not quite right. The shared repository value may
come from config, _or_ it may have been set manually. So
only the caller who knows whether or not they set it is the
one who can clear it (and indeed, if you _do_ put it into
git_config_clear(), then many tests fail, as we have to
clear the config cache any time we set a new config
variable).
There are three tests here. The first two actually pass
already, though it's largely luck: they just don't happen to
actually read any config before we enter the new repo.
But the third one does fail without this patch; we look at
core.sharedrepository while creating the directory, but need
to make sure the value from the template config overrides
it.

When git_config() runs, it looks in the system, user-wide,
and repo-level config files. It gets the latter by calling
git_pathdup(), which in turn calls get_git_dir(). If we
haven't set up the git repository yet, this may simply
return ".git", and we will look at ".git/config". This
seems like it would be helpful (presumably we haven't set up
the repository yet, so it tries to find it), but it turns
out to be a bad idea for a few reasons:
- it's not sufficient, and therefore hides bugs in a
confusing way. Config will be respected if commands are
run from the top-level of the working tree, but not from
a subdirectory.
- it's not always true that we haven't set up the
repository _yet_; we may not want to do it at all. For
instance, if you run "git init /some/path" from inside
another repository, it should not load config from the
existing repository.
- there might be a path ".git/config", but it is not the
actual repository we would find via setup_git_directory().
This may happen, e.g., if you are storing a git
repository inside another git repository, but have
munged one of the files in such a way that the
inner repository is not valid (e.g., by removing HEAD).
We have at least two bugs of the second type in git-init,
introduced by ae5f677 (lazily load core.sharedrepository,
2016-03-11). It causes init to use git_configset(), which
loads all of the config, including values from the current
repo (if any). This shows up in two ways:
1. If we happen to be in an existing repository directory,
we'll read and respect core.sharedrepository from it,
even though it should have no bearing on the new
repository. A new test in t1301 covers this.
2. Similarly, if we're in an existing repo that sets
core.logallrefupdates, that will cause init to fail to
set it in a newly created repository (because it thinks
that the user's templates already did so). A new test
in t0001 covers this.
We also need to adjust an existing test in t1302, which
gives another example of why this patch is an improvement.
That test creates an embedded repository with a bogus
core.repositoryformatversion of "99". It wants to make sure
that we actually stop at the bogus repo rather than
continuing upward to find the outer repo. So it checks that
"git config core.repositoryformatversion" returns 99. But
that only works because we blindly read ".git/config", even
though we _know_ we're in a repository whose vintage we do
not understand.
After this patch, we avoid reading config from the unknown
vintage repository at all, which is a safer choice. But we
need to tweak the test, since core.repositoryformatversion
will not return 99; it will claim that it could not find the
variable at all.

Currently, do_submodule_path will attempt locating the .git directory by
using read_gitfile on <path>/.git. If this fails it just assumes the
<path>/.git is actually a git directory.
This is good because it allows for handling submodules which were cloned
in a regular manner first before being added to the superproject.
Unfortunately this fails if the <path> is not actually checked out any
longer, such as by removing the directory.
Fix this by checking if the directory we found is actually a gitdir. In
the case it is not, attempt to lookup the submodule configuration and
find the name of where it is stored in the .git/modules/ directory of
the superproject.
If we can't locate the submodule configuration, this might occur because
for example a submodule gitlink was added but the corresponding
.gitmodules file was not properly updated. A die() here would not be
pleasant to the users of submodule diff formats, so instead, modify
do_submodule_path() to return an error code:
- git_pathdup_submodule() returns NULL when we fail to find a path.
- strbuf_git_path_submodule() propagates the error code to the caller.
Modify the callers of these functions to check the error code and fail
properly. This ensures we don't attempt to use a bad path that doesn't
match the corresponding submodule.
Because this change fixes add_submodule_odb() to work even if the
submodule is not checked out, update the wording of the submodule log
diff format to correctly display that the submodule is "not initialized"
instead of "not checked out"

Some code may have a pack/offset pair for an object, but
would like to look up more information. Using
sha1_object_info() is too heavy-weight; it starts from the
sha1 and has to find the pack again (so not only does it waste
time, it might not even find the same instance).
In some cases, this problem is solved by helpers like
get_size_from_delta(), which is used by pack-objects to take
a shortcut for objects whose packed representation has
already been found. But there's no similar function for
getting the object type, for instance. Rather than introduce
one, let's just make the whole packed_object_info() available.
It is smart enough to spend effort only on the items the

An all-zero initializer is fine for this struct, but because
the first element is a pointer, call sites need to know to
use "NULL" instead of "0". Otherwise some static checkers
like "sparse" will complain; see d099b71 (Fix some sparse
warnings, 2013-07-18) for example. So let's provide an
initializer to make this easier to get right.
But let's also comment that memset() to zero is explicitly
OK[1]. One of the callers embeds object_info in another
struct which is initialized via memset (expand_data in
builtin/cat-file.c). Since our subset of C doesn't allow
assignment from a compound literal, handling this in any
other way is awkward, so we'd like to keep the ability to
initialize by memset(). By documenting this property, it
should make anybody who wants to change the initializer
think twice before doing so.
There's one other caller of interest. In parse_sha1_header(),
we did not initialize the struct fully in the first place.
This turned out not to be a bug because the sub-function it
calls does not look at any other fields except the ones we
did initialize. But that assumption might not hold in the
future, so it's a dangerous construct. This patch switches
it to initializing the whole struct, which protects us
against unexpected reads of the other fields.
[1] Obviously using memset() to initialize a pointer
violates the C standard, but we long ago decided that it
was an acceptable tradeoff in the real world.

This function has no callers, and is not likely to gain any
because it's confusing to use.
It unconditionally complains to stderr, but _doesn't_ die.
Yet any caller which wants a "gentle" write would generally
want to suppress the error message, because presumably
they're going to write a better one, and/or try the
operation again.
And the check_pipe() call leads to confusing behaviors. It
means we die for EPIPE, but not for other errors, which is
confusing and pointless.
On top of all that, it has unusual error return semantics,
which makes it easy for callers to get it wrong.
Let's drop the function, and if somebody ever needs to
resurrect something like it, they can fix these warts.

When we compute the date to go in author/committer lines of
commits, or tagger lines of tags, we get the current date
once and then cache it for the rest of the program. This is
a good thing in some cases, like "git commit", because it
means we do not racily assign different times to the
author/committer fields of a single commit object.
But as more programs start to make many commits in a single
process (e.g., the recently builtin "git am"), it means that
you'll get long strings of commits with identical committer
timestamps (whereas before, we invoked "git commit" many
times and got true timestamps).
This patch addresses it by letting callers reset the cached
time, which means they'll get a fresh time on their next
call to git_committer_info() or git_author_info(). The first
caller to do so is "git am", which resets the time for each
patch it applies.
It would be nice if we could just do this automatically
before filling in the ident fields of commit and tag
objects. Unfortunately, it's hard to know where a particular
logical operation begins and ends.
For instance, if commit_tree_extended() were to call
reset_ident_date() before getting the committer/author
ident, that doesn't quite work; sometimes the author info is
passed in to us as a parameter, and it may or may not have
come from a previous call to ident_default_date(). So in
those cases, we lose the property that the committer and the
author timestamp always match.
You could similarly put a date-reset at the end of
commit_tree_extended(). That actually works in the current
code base, but it's fragile. It makes the assumption that
after commit_tree_extended() finishes, the caller has no
other operations that would logically want to fall into the
same timestamp.
So instead we provide the tool to easily do the reset, and
let the high-level callers use it to annotate their own
logical operations.
There's no automated test, because it would be inherently
racy (it depends on whether the program takes multiple
seconds to run). But you can see the effect with something
like:
# make a fake 100-patch series
top=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
bottom=$(git rev-list --first-parent -100 HEAD | tail -n 1)
git log --format=email --reverse --first-parent \
--binary -m -p $bottom..$top >patch
# now apply it; this presumably takes multiple seconds
git checkout --detach $bottom
git am <patch
# now count the number of distinct committer times;
# prior to this patch, there would only be one, but
# now we'd typically see several.
git log --format=%ct $bottom.. | sort -u

Each pack has an index for looking up entries in O(log n)
time, but if we have multiple packs, we have to scan through
them linearly. This can produce a measurable overhead for
some operations.
We dealt with this long ago in f7c22cc (always start looking
up objects in the last used pack first, 2007-05-30), which
keeps what is essentially a 1-element most-recently-used
cache. In theory, we should be able to do better by keeping
a similar but longer cache, that is the same length as the
pack-list itself.
Since we now have a convenient generic MRU structure, we can
plug it in and measure. Here are the numbers for running
p5303 against linux.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5303.3: rev-list (1) 31.56(31.28+0.27) 31.30(31.08+0.20) -0.8%
5303.4: repack (1) 40.62(39.35+2.36) 40.60(39.27+2.44) -0.0%
5303.6: rev-list (50) 31.31(31.06+0.23) 31.23(31.00+0.22) -0.3%
5303.7: repack (50) 58.65(69.12+1.94) 58.27(68.64+2.05) -0.6%
5303.9: rev-list (1000) 38.74(38.40+0.33) 31.87(31.62+0.24) -17.7%
5303.10: repack (1000) 367.20(441.80+4.62) 342.00(414.04+3.72) -6.9%
The main numbers of interest here are the rev-list ones
(since that is exercising the normal object lookup code
path). The single-pack case shouldn't improve at all; the
260ms speedup there is just part of the run-to-run noise
(but it's important to note that we didn't make anything
worse with the overhead of maintaining our cache). In the
50-pack case, we see similar results. There may be a slight
improvement, but it's mostly within the noise.
The 1000-pack case does show a big improvement, though. That
carries over to the repack case, as well. Even though we
haven't touched its pack-search loop yet, it does still do a
lot of normal object lookups (e.g., for the internal
revision walk), and so improves.
As a point of reference, I also ran the 1000-pack test
against a version of HEAD^ with the last_found_pack
optimization disabled. It takes ~60s, so that gives an
indication of how much even the single-element cache is
helping.
For comparison, here's a smaller repository, git.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
---------------------------------------------------------------------
5303.3: rev-list (1) 1.56(1.54+0.01) 1.54(1.51+0.02) -1.3%
5303.4: repack (1) 1.84(1.80+0.10) 1.82(1.80+0.09) -1.1%
5303.6: rev-list (50) 1.58(1.55+0.02) 1.59(1.57+0.01) +0.6%
5303.7: repack (50) 2.50(3.18+0.04) 2.50(3.14+0.04) +0.0%
5303.9: rev-list (1000) 2.76(2.71+0.04) 2.24(2.21+0.02) -18.8%
5303.10: repack (1000) 13.21(19.56+0.25) 11.66(18.01+0.21) -11.7%
You can see that the percentage improvement is similar.
That's because the lookup we are optimizing is roughly
O(nr_objects * nr_packs). Since the number of packs is
constant in both tests, we'd expect the improvement to be
linear in the number of objects. But the whole process is
also linear in the number of objects, so the improvement
is a constant factor.
The exact improvement does also depend on the contents of
the packs. In p5303, the extra packs all have 5 first-parent
commits in them, which is a reasonable simulation of a
pushed-to repository. But it also means that only 250
first-parent commits are in those packs (compared to almost
50,000 total in linux.git), and the rest are in the huge
"base" pack. So once we start looking at history in taht big
pack, that's where we'll find most everything, and even the
1-element cache gets close to 100% cache hits. You could
almost certainly show better numbers with a more
pathological case (e.g., distributing the objects more
evenly across the packs). But that's simply not that
realistic a scenario, so it makes more sense to focus on
these numbers.
The implementation itself is a straightforward application
of the MRU code. We provide an MRU-ordered list of packs
that shadows the packed_git list. This is easy to do because
we only create and revise the pack list in one place. The
"reprepare" code path actually drops the whole MRU and
replaces it for simplicity. It would be more efficient to
just add new entries, but there's not much point in
optimizing here; repreparing happens rarely, and only after
doing a lot of other expensive work. The key things to keep
optimized are traversal (which is just a normal linked list,
albeit with one extra level of indirection over the regular
packed_git list), and marking (which is a constant number of
pointer assignments, though slightly more than the old
last_found_pack was; it doesn't seem to create a measurable
slowdown, though).

The point of this function is to drop an entry from the
"packed_git" cache that points to a file we might be
overwriting, because our contents may not be the same (and
hence the only caller was pack-objects as it moved a
temporary packfile into place).
In older versions of git, this could happen because the
names of packfiles were derived from the set of objects they
contained, not the actual bits on disk. But since 1190a1a
(pack-objects: name pack files after trailer hash,
2013-12-05), the name reflects the actual bits on disk, and
any two packfiles with the same name can be used
interchangeably.
Dropping this function not only saves a few lines of code,
it makes the lifetime of "struct packed_git" much easier to
reason about: namely, we now do not ever free these structs.

Introduced in 473166b ("config: add 'origin_type' to config_source
struct", 2016-02-19), Git can inform the user about the origin of a
config error, but the implementation does not allow translators to
translate the keywords 'file', 'blob, 'standard input', and
'submodule-blob'. Moreover, for the second message, a reason for the
error is appended to the message, not allowing translators to translate
that reason either.
Unfold the message into several templates for each known origin_type.
That would result in better translation at the expense of code
verbosity.
Add enum config_oringin_type to ease management of the various
configuration origin types (blob, file, etc). Previously origin type
was considered from command line if cf->origin_type == NULL, i.e.,
uninitialized. Now we set origin_type to CONFIG_ORIGIN_CMDLINE in
git_config_from_parameters() and configset_add_value().
For error message in git_parse_source(), use xstrfmt() function to
prepare the message string, instead of doing something like it's done
for die_bad_number(), because intelligibility and code conciseness are

want the epoch timestamp by itself. It's not hard to parse
the two apart, but if you are using a pretty-print format,
you may want git to show the "finished" form that the user

When merge_recursive() decides what the correct blob object merge
result for a path should be, it uses update_file_flags() helper
function to write it out to a working tree file and then calls
add_cacheinfo(). The add_cacheinfo() function in turn calls
make_cache_entry() to create a new cache entry to replace the
higher-stage entries for the path that represents the conflict.
The make_cache_entry() function calls refresh_cache_entry() to fill
in the cached stat information. To mark a cache entry as
up-to-date, the data is re-read from the file in the working tree,
and goes through convert_to_git() conversion to be compared with the
blob object name the new cache entry records.
It is important to note that this happens while the higher-stage
entries, which are going to be replaced with the new entry, are
still in the index. Unfortunately, the convert_to_git() conversion
has a misguided "safer crlf" mechanism baked in, and looks at the
existing cache entry for the path to decide how to convert the
contents in the working tree file. If our side (i.e. stage#2)
records a text blob with CRLF in it, even when the system is
configured to record LF in blobs and convert them to CRLF upon
checkout (and back to LF upon checkin), the "safer crlf" mechanism
stops us doing so.
This especially poses a problem during a renormalizing merge, where
the merge result for the path is computed by first "normalizing" the
blobs involved in the merge by using convert_to_working_tree()
followed by convert_to_git() with "safer crlf" disabled. The merge
result that is computed correctly and fed to add_cacheinfo() via
update_file_flags() does _not_ match what refresh_cache_entry() sees
by converting the working tree file via convert_to_git().
We can work this around by not refreshing the new cache entry in
make_cache_entry() called by add_cacheinfo(). After add_cacheinfo()
adds the new entry, we can call refresh_cache_entry() on that,
knowing that addition of this new cache entry would have removed the
stale cache entries that had CRLF in stage #2 that were carried over
before the renormalizing merge started and will not interfere with
the correct recording of the result.

This gives us compile-time checking of our format strings,
which is a good thing.
I had also hoped it would help with confusing write_file()
and write_file_buf(), since the former's "..." can make it
match the signature of the latter. But given that the buffer
for write_file_buf() is generally not a string literal, the
compiler won't complain unless -Wformat-nonliteral is on,

code base.

There are many callsites which could use write_file, but for
which it is a little awkward because they have a strbuf or
other pointer/len combo. Specifically:
1. write_file() takes a format string, so we have to use
"%s" or "%.*s", which are ugly.
2. Using any form of "%s" does not handle embedded NULs in
the output. That probably doesn't matter for our
call-sites, but it's nicer not to have to worry.
3. It's less efficient; we format into another strbuf
just to do the write. That's probably not measurably
slow for our uses, but it's simply inelegant.
We can fix this by providing a helper to write out the
formatted buffer, and just calling it from write_file().
Note that we don't do the usual "complete with a newline"
that write_file does. If the caller has their own buffer,
there's a reasonable chance they're doing something more
complicated than a single line, and they can call
strbuf_complete_line() themselves.
We could go even further and add strbuf_write_file(), but it
doesn't save much:
- write_file_buf(path, sb.buf, sb.len);
+ strbuf_write_file(&sb, path);
It would also be somewhat asymmetric with strbuf_read_file,
which actually returns errors rather than dying (and the
error handling is most of the benefit of write_file() in the
first place).

A config callback passed to git_config() doesn't know very
much about the context in which it sees a variable. It can
ask whether the variable comes from a file, and get the file
name. But without analyzing the filename (which is hard to
do accurately), it cannot tell whether it is in system-level
config, user-level config, or repo-specific config.
Generally this doesn't matter; the point of not passing this
to the callback is that it should treat the config the same
no matter where it comes from. But some programs, like
upload-pack, are a special case: we should be able to run
them in an untrusted repository, which means we cannot use
any "dangerous" config from the repository config file (but
it is OK to use it from system or user config).
This patch teaches the config code to record the "scope" of
each variable, and make it available inside config
callbacks, similar to how we give access to the filename.
The scope is the starting source for a particular parsing
operation, and remains the same even if we include other
files (so a .git/config which includes another file will
remain CONFIG_SCOPE_REPO, as it would be similarly
untrusted).

When 473166b (config: add 'origin_type' to config_source
struct, 2016-02-19) added accessor functions for the origin
type and name, it taught them only to look at the "cf"
struct that is filled in while we are parsing the config.
This is sufficient to make it work with git-config, which
uses git_config_with_options() under the hood. That function
freshly parses the config files and triggers the callback
when it parses each key.
Most git programs, however, use git_config(). This interface
will populate a cache during the actual parse, and then
serve values from the cache. Calling current_config_filename()
in a callback here will find a NULL cf and produce an error.
There are no such callers right now, but let's prepare for
adding some by making this work.
We already record source information in a struct attached to
each value. We just need to make it globally available and
then consult it from the accessor functions.

On Unix (and Linux), files and directories whose names start with a dot
are usually not shown by default. This convention is used by Git: the
.git/ directory should be left alone by regular users, and only accessed
through Git itself.
On Windows, no such convention exists. Instead, there is an explicit flag
to mark files or directories as hidden.
In the early days, Git for Windows did not mark the .git/ directory (or
for that matter, any file or directory whose name starts with a dot)
hidden. This lead to quite a bit of confusion, and even loss of data.
Consequently, Git for Windows introduced the core.hideDotFiles setting,
with three possible values: true, false, and dotGitOnly, defaulting to
marking only the .git/ directory as hidden.
The rationale: users do not need to access .git/ directly, and indeed (as
was demonstrated) should not really see that directory, either. However,
not all dot files should be hidden by default, as e.g. Eclipse does not
show them (and the user would therefore be unable to see, say, a
.gitattributes file).
In over five years since the last attempt to bring this patch into core
Git, a slightly buggy version of this patch has served Git for Windows'
users well: no single report indicated problems with the hidden .git/
directory, and the stream of problems caused by the previously non-hidden
.git/ directory simply stopped. The bugs have been fixed during the
process of getting this patch upstream.
Note that there is a funny quirk we have to pay attention to when
creating hidden files: we use Win32's _wopen() function which
transmogrifies its arguments and hands off to Win32's CreateFile()
function. That latter function errors out with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (the
equivalent of EACCES) when the equivalent of the O_CREAT flag was passed
and the file attributes (including the hidden flag) do not match an
existing file's. And _wopen() accepts no parameter that would be
transmogrified into said hidden flag. Therefore, we simply try again
without O_CREAT.
A slightly different method is required for our fopen()/freopen()
function as we cannot even *remove* the implicit O_CREAT flag.
Therefore, we briefly mark existing files as unhidden when opening them
via fopen()/freopen().
The ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error can also be triggered by opening a file
that is marked as a system file (which is unlikely to be tracked in
Git), and by trying to create a file that has *just* been deleted and is
awaiting the last open handles to be released (which would be handled
better by the "Try again?" logic, a story for a different patch series,
though). In both cases, it does not matter much if we try again without
the O_CREAT flag, read: it does not hurt, either.

Change the hardcoded lookup for .git/hooks/* to optionally lookup in
$(git config core.hooksPath)/* instead.
This is essentially a more intrusive version of the git-init ability to
specify hooks on init time via init templates.
The difference between that facility and this feature is that this can
be set up after the fact via e.g. ~/.gitconfig or /etc/gitconfig to
apply for all your personal repositories, or all repositories on the
system.
I plan on using this on a centralized Git server where users can create
arbitrary repositories under /gitroot, but I'd like to manage all the
hooks that should be run centrally via a unified dispatch mechanism.

Once upon a time, check_repository_format_gently would parse
the config with a single callback, and that callback would
set up a bunch of global variables. But now that we have
separate workdirs, we have to be more careful. Commit
31e26eb (setup.c: support multi-checkout repo setup,
2014-11-30) introduced a reduced callback which omits some
values like core.worktree. In the "main" callback we call
the reduced one, and then add back in the missing variables.
Now that we have split the config-parsing from the munging
of the global variables, we can do it all with a single
callback, and keep all of the "are we in a separate workdir"
logic together.

When we want to know if we're in a git repository of
reasonable vintage, we can call check_repository_format_gently(),
which does three things:
1. Reads the config from the .git/config file.
2. Verifies that the version info we read is sane.
3. Writes some global variables based on this.
There are a few things we could improve here.
One is that steps 1 and 3 happen together. So if the
verification in step 2 fails, we still clobber the global
variables. This is especially bad if we go on to try another
repository directory; we may end up with a state of mixed
config variables.
The second is there's no way to ask about the repository
version for anything besides the main repository we're in.
git-init wants to do this, and it's possible that we would
want to start doing so for submodules (e.g., to find out
which ref backend they're using).
We can improve both by splitting the first two steps into
separate functions. Now check_repository_format_gently()
calls out to steps 1 and 2, and does 3 only if step 2
succeeds.
Note that the public interface for read_repository_format()
and what check_repository_format_gently() needs from it are
not quite the same, leading us to have an extra
read_repository_format_1() helper. The extra needs from
check_repository_format_gently() will go away in a future
patch, and we can simplify this then to just the public
interface.

Commit a60645f (setup: remember whether repository was
found, 2010-08-05) introduced the startup_info structure,
which records some parts of the setup_git_directory()
process (notably, whether we actually found a repository or
not).
One of the uses of this data is for functions to behave
appropriately based on whether we are in a repo. But the
startup_info struct is just a pointer to storage provided by
the main program, and the only program that sets it up is
the git.c wrapper. Thus builtins have access to
startup_info, but externally linked programs do not.
Worse, library code which is accessible from both has to be
careful about accessing startup_info. This can be used to
trigger a die("BUG") via get_sha1():
$ git fast-import <<-\EOF
tag foo
from HEAD:./whatever
EOF
fatal: BUG: startup_info struct is not initialized.
Obviously that's fairly nonsensical input to feed to
fast-import, but we should never hit a die("BUG"). And there
may be other ways to trigger it if other non-builtins
resolve sha1s.
So let's point the storage for startup_info to a static
variable in setup.c, making it available to all users of the
library code. We _could_ turn startup_info into a regular
extern struct, but doing so would mean tweaking all of the
existing use sites. So let's leave the pointer indirection
in place. We can, however, drop any checks for NULL, as
they will always be false (and likewise, we can drop the
test covering this case, which was a rather artificial
situation using one of the test-* programs).

If a pack .idx file has a corrupted offset for an object, we
may try to access an offset in the .idx or .pack file that
is larger than the file's size. For the .pack case, we have
use_pack() to protect us, which realizes the access is out
of bounds. But if the corrupted value asks us to look in the
.idx file's secondary 64-bit offset table, we blindly add it
to the mmap'd index data and access arbitrary memory.
We can fix this with a simple bounds-check compared to the
size we found when we opened the .idx file.
Note that there's similar code in index-pack that is
triggered only during "index-pack --verify". To support
both, we pull the bounds-check into a separate function,
which dies when it sees a corrupted file.
It would be nice if we could return an error, so that the
pack code could try to find a good copy of the object
elsewhere. Currently nth_packed_object_offset doesn't have
any way to return an error, but it could probably use "0" as
a sentinel value (since no object can start there). This is
the minimal fix, and we can improve the resilience later on
top.

When we know that mtime on directory as given by the environment
is usable for the purpose of untracked cache, we may want the
untracked cache to be always used without any mtime test or
kernel name check being performed.
Also when we know that mtime is not usable for the purpose of
untracked cache, for example because the repo is shared over a
network file system, we may want the untracked-cache to be
automatically removed from the index.
Allow the user to express such preference by setting the
'core.untrackedCache' configuration variable, which can take
'keep', 'false', or 'true' and default to 'keep'.
When read_index_from() is called, it now adds or removes the
untracked cache in the index to respect the value of this
variable. So it does nothing if the value is `keep` or if the
variable is unset; it adds the untracked cache if the value is
`true`; and it removes the cache if the value is `false`.
`git update-index --[no-|force-]untracked-cache` still adds the
untracked cache to, or removes it, from the index, but this
shows a warning if it goes against the value of
core.untrackedCache, because the next time the index is read
the untracked cache will be added or removed if the
configuration is set to do so.
Also `--untracked-cache` used to check that the underlying
operating system and file system change `st_mtime` field of a
directory if files are added or deleted in that directory. But
because those tests take a long time, `--untracked-cache` no
longer performs them. Instead, there is now
`--test-untracked-cache` to perform the tests. This change
makes `--untracked-cache` the same as `--force-untracked-cache`.
This last change is backward incompatible and should be
mentioned in the release notes.

A pack_revindex struct has two elements: the revindex
entries themselves, and a pointer to the packed_git. We need
both to do lookups, because only the latter knows things
like the number of objects in the pack.
Now that packed_git contains the pack_revindex struct it's
just as easy to pass around the packed_git itself, and we do
not need the extra back-pointer.
We can instead just store the entries directly in the pack.
All functions which took a pack_revindex now just take a
packed_git. We still lazy-load in find_pack_revindex, so
most callers are unaffected.
The exception is the bitmap code, which computes the
revindex and caches the pointer when we load the bitmaps. We
can continue to load, drop the extra cache pointer, and just
access bitmap_git.pack.revindex directly.

The main entry point to the pack-revindex code is
find_pack_revindex(). This calls revindex_for_pack(), which
lazily computes and caches the revindex for the pack.
We store the cache in a very simple hash table. It's created
by init_pack_revindex(), which inserts an entry for every
packfile we know about, and we never grow or shrink the
hash. If we ever need the revindex for a pack that isn't in
the hash, we die() with an internal error.
This can lead to a race, because we may load more packs
after having called init_pack_revindex(). For example,
imagine we have one process which needs to look at the
revindex for a variety of objects (e.g., cat-file's
"%(objectsize:disk)" format). Simultaneously, git-gc is
running, which is doing a `git repack -ad`. We might hit a
sequence like:
1. We need the revidx for some packed object. We call
find_pack_revindex() and end up in init_pack_revindex()
to create the hash table for all packs we know about.
2. We look up another object and can't find it, because
the repack has removed the pack it's in. We re-scan the
pack directory and find a new pack containing the
object. It gets added to our packed_git list.
3. We call find_pack_revindex() for the new object, which
hits revindex_for_pack() for our new pack. It can't
find the packed_git in the revindex hash, and dies.
You could also replace the `repack` above with a push or
fetch to create a new pack, though these are less likely
(you would have to somehow learn about the new objects to
look them up).
Prior to 1a6d8b9 (do not discard revindex when re-preparing
packfiles, 2014-01-15), this was safe, as we threw away the
revindex whenever we re-scanned the pack directory (and thus
re-created the revindex hash on the fly). However, we don't
want to simply revert that commit, as it was solving a
different race.
So we have a few options:
- We can fix the race in 1a6d8b9 differently, by having
the bitmap code look in the revindex hash instead of
caching the pointer. But this would introduce a lot of
extra hash lookups for common bitmap operations.
- We could teach the revindex to dynamically add new packs
to the hash table. This would perform the same, but
would mean adding extra code to the revindex hash (which
currently cannot be resized at all).
- We can get rid of the hash table entirely. There is
exactly one revindex per pack, so we can just store it
in the packed_git struct. Since it's initialized lazily,
it does not add to the startup cost.
This is the best of both worlds: less code and fewer
hash table lookups. The original code likely avoided
this in the name of encapsulation. But the packed_git
and reverse_index code are fairly intimate already, so
it's not much of a loss.
This patch implements the final option. It's a minimal
conversion that retains the pack_revindex struct. No callers
need to change, and we can do further cleanup in a follow-on
patch.

More transition from "unsigned char[40]" to "struct object_id".
This needed a few merge fixups, but is mostly disentangled from other
topics.
* bc/object-id:
remote: convert functions to struct object_id
Remove get_object_hash.
Convert struct object to object_id
Add several uses of get_object_hash.
object: introduce get_object_hash macro.

push_refs_with_export: convert to struct object_id
get_remote_heads: convert to struct object_id
parse_fetch: convert to use struct object_id
add_sought_entry_mem: convert to struct object_id
Convert struct ref to use object_id.
sha1_file: introduce has_object_file helper.
Code preparation for pluggable ref backends.
* dt/refs-backend-pre-vtable:
refs: break out ref conflict checks

initdb: make safe_create_dir public
refs: split filesystem-based refs code into a new file
refs/refs-internal.h: new header file
refname_is_safe(): improve docstring
pack_if_possible_fn(): use ref_type() instead of is_per_worktree_ref()
copy_msg(): rename to copy_reflog_msg()
verify_refname_available(): new function
verify_refname_available(): rename function
Apple's common crypto implementation of SHA1_Update() does not take
more than 4GB at a time, and we now have a compile-time workaround
for it.

Soon we will want to create initdb functions for ref backends, and
code from initdb that calls this function needs to move into the files
backend. So this function needs to be public.

Using the previous commit's inredirection mechanism for SHA1,
support a chunked implementation of SHA1_Update() that limits the
amount of data in the chunk passed to SHA1_Update().
This is enabled by using the Makefile variable SHA1_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE
to specify chunk size. When using Apple's CommonCrypto library this
is set to 1GiB (the implementation cannot handle more 4GiB).

The git source uses git_SHA1_Update() and friends to call into the
code that computes the hashes. Traditionally, we used to map these
directly to underlying implementation of the SHA-1 hash (e.g.
SHA1_Update() from OpenSSL or blk_SHA1_Update() from block-sha1/).
This arrangement however makes it hard to tweak behaviour of the
underlying implementation without fully replacing. If we want to
introduce a tweaked_SHA1_Update() wrapper to implement the "Update"
in a slightly different way, for example, the implementation of the
wrapper still would want to call into the underlying implementation,
but tweaked_SHA1_Update() cannot call git_SHA1_Update() to get to
the underlying implementation (often but not always SHA1_Update()).
Add another level of indirection that maps platform_SHA1_Update()
and friends to their underlying implementations, and by default make
git_SHA1_Update() and friends map to platform_SHA1_* functions.
Doing it this way will later allow us to map git_SHA1_Update() to
tweaked_SHA1_Update(), and the latter can use platform_SHA1_Update()
in its implementation.

The name-hash subsystem that is used to cope with case insensitive
filesystems keeps track of directories and their on-filesystem
cases for all the paths in the index by holding a pointer to a
randomly chosen cache entry that is inside the directory (for its
ce->ce_name component). This pointer was not updated even when the
cache entry was removed from the index, leading to use after free.
This was fixed by recording the path for each directory instead of
borrowing cache entries and restructuring the API somewhat.

Stop reusing cache_entry in dir_entry; doing so causes a
use-after-free bug.
During merges, we free entries that we no longer need in the
destination index. But those entries might have also been stored in
the dir_entry cache, and when a later call to add_to_index found them,
they would be used after being freed.
To prevent this, change dir_entry to store a copy of the name instead
of a pointer to a cache_entry. This entails some refactoring of code
that expects the cache_entry.

On Windows, files that are in use cannot be removed or renamed. That
means that we have to release pack files when we are about to, say,
repack them. Let's introduce a convenient function to close all the
pack files and their idx files.
While at it, we consolidate the close windows/close fd/close index
stanza in `free_pack_by_name()` into the `close_pack()` function that
is used by the new `close_all_packs()` function to avoid repeated code.
