Kyle Meyer de922669ab update-ref: pass reflog message to delete_ref()
Now that delete_ref() accepts a reflog message, pass the user-provided
message to delete_ref() rather than silently dropping it.

Kyle Meyer 755b49ae96 delete_ref: accept a reflog message argument
When the current branch is renamed with 'git branch -m/-M' or deleted
with 'git update-ref -m<msg> -d', the event is recorded in HEAD's log
with an empty message.  In preparation for adding a more meaningful
message to HEAD's log in these cases, update delete_ref() to take a
message argument and pass it along to ref_transaction_delete().
Modify all callers to pass NULL for the new message argument; no
change in behavior is intended.

Note that this is relevant for HEAD's log but not for the deleted
ref's log, which is currently deleted along with the ref.  Even if it
were not, an entry for the deletion wouldn't be present in the deleted
ref's log.  files_transaction_commit() writes to the log if
REF_NEEDS_COMMIT or REF_LOG_ONLY are set, but lock_ref_for_update()
doesn't set REF_NEEDS_COMMIT for the deleted ref because REF_DELETING
is set.  In contrast, the update for HEAD has REF_LOG_ONLY set by
split_head_update(), resulting in the deletion being logged.

This change was done before in deb8e15a (rm: reuse strbuf for all

René Scharfe 96f6d3f61a ls-files: move only kept cache entries in prune_cache()
prune_cache() first identifies those entries at the start of the sorted
array that can be discarded.  Then it moves the rest of the entries up.
Last it identifies the unwanted trailing entries among the moved ones
and cuts them off.

Change the order: Identify both start *and* end of the range to keep
first and then move only those entries to the top.  The resulting code
is slightly shorter and a bit more efficient.

Elia Pinto 4a5281917b builtin/commit.c: switch to strbuf, instead of snprintf()
Switch to dynamic allocation with strbuf, so we can avoid dealing
with magic numbers in the code and reduce the cognitive burden from
the programmers.  The original code is correct, but programmers no
longer have to count bytes needed for static allocation to know that.

As a side effect of this change, we also reduce the snprintf()
calls, that may silently truncate results if the programmer is not
careful.

Cornelius Weig 341fb28621 refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = always
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).

Jeff King a2b22854bd fsck: lazily load types under --connectivity-only
The recent fixes to "fsck --connectivity-only" load all of
the objects with their correct types. This keeps the
connectivity-only code path close to the regular one, but it
also introduces some unnecessary inefficiency. While getting
the type of an object is cheap compared to actually opening
and parsing the object (as the non-connectivity-only case
would do), it's still not free.

For reachable non-blob objects, we end up having to parse
them later anyway (to see what they point to), making our
type lookup here redundant.

For unreachable objects, we might never hit them at all in
the reachability traversal, making the lookup completely
wasted. And in some cases, we might have quite a few
unreachable objects (e.g., when alternates are used for
shared object storage between repositories, it's normal for
there to be objects reachable from other repositories but
not the one running fsck).

The comment in mark_object_for_connectivity() claims two
benefits to getting the type up front:

  1. We need to know the types during fsck_walk(). (And not
     explicitly mentioned, but we also need them when
     printing the types of broken or dangling commits).

     We can address this by lazy-loading the types as
     necessary. Most objects never need this lazy-load at
     all, because they fall into one of these categories:

       a. Reachable from our tips, and are coerced into the
	  correct type as we traverse (e.g., a parent link
	  will call lookup_commit(), which converts OBJ_NONE
	  to OBJ_COMMIT).

       b. Unreachable, but not at the tip of a chunk of
          unreachable history. We only mention the tips as
	  "dangling", so an unreachable commit which links
	  to hundreds of other objects needs only report the
	  type of the tip commit.

  2. It serves as a cross-check that the coercion in (1a) is
     correct (i.e., we'll complain about a parent link that
     points to a blob). But we get most of this for free
     already, because right after coercing, we'll parse any
     non-blob objects. So we'd notice then if we expected a
     commit and got a blob.

     The one exception is when we expect a blob, in which
     case we never actually read the object contents.

     So this is a slight weakening, but given that the whole
     point of --connectivity-only is to sacrifice some data
     integrity checks for speed, this seems like an
     acceptable tradeoff.

Here are before and after timings for an extreme case with
~5M reachable objects and another ~12M unreachable (it's the
torvalds/linux repository on GitHub, connected to shared
storage for all of the other kernel forks):

  [before]
  $ time git fsck --no-dangling --connectivity-only
  real	3m4.323s
  user	1m25.121s
  sys	1m38.710s

  [after]
  $ time git fsck --no-dangling --connectivity-only
  real	0m51.497s

Jeff King 97ca7ca8ba fsck: move typename() printing to its own function
When an object has a problem, we mention its type. But we do
so by feeding the result of typename() directly to
fprintf(). This is potentially dangerous because typename()
can return NULL for some type values (like OBJ_NONE).

It's doubtful that this can be triggered in practice with
the current code, so this is probably not fixing a bug. But
it future-proofs us against modifications that make things
like OBJ_NONE more likely (and gives future patches a
central point to handle them).

did not work as expected.

Instead of insisting that the input begins with "refs/", allow "HEAD"

full refnames including HEAD are passed to the same output machinery.

Johannes Schindelin e459b073fb remote rename: more carefully determine whether a remote is configured
One of the really nice features of the ~/.gitconfig file is that users
can override defaults by their own preferred settings for all of their
repositories.

One such default that some users like to override is whether the
"origin" remote gets auto-pruned or not. The user would simply call

	git config --global remote.origin.prune true

and from now on all "origin" remotes would be pruned automatically when
fetching into the local repository.

There is just one catch: now Git thinks that the "origin" remote is
configured, even if the repository config has no [remote "origin"]
section at all, as it does not realize that the "prune" setting was
configured globally and that there really is no "origin" remote
configured in this repository.

That is a problem e.g. when renaming a remote to a new name, when Git
may be fooled into thinking that there is already a remote of that new
name.

Let's fix this by paying more attention to *where* the remote settings
came from: if they are configured in the local repository config, we
must not overwrite them. If they were configured elsewhere, we cannot
overwrite them to begin with, as we only write the repository config.

There is only one caller of remote_is_configured() (in `git fetch`) that
may want to take remotes into account even if they were configured
outside the repository config; all other callers essentially try to
prevent the Git command from overwriting settings in the repository
config.

To accommodate that fact, the remote_is_configured() function now
requires a parameter that states whether the caller is interested in all
remotes, or only in those that were configured in the repository config.

Many thanks to Jeff King whose tireless review helped with settling for
nothing less than the current strategy.

Johannes Schindelin 019678d6b1 difftool: retire the scripted version
It served its purpose, but now we have a builtin difftool. Time for the
Perl script to enjoy Florida.

Johannes Schindelin 03831ef7b5 difftool: implement the functionality in the builtin
This patch gives life to the skeleton added in the previous patch.

The motivation for converting the difftool is that Perl scripts are not at
all native on Windows, and that `git difftool` therefore is pretty slow on
that platform, when there is no good reason for it to be slow.

In addition, Perl does not really have access to Git's internals. That
means that any script will always have to jump through unnecessary
hoops, and it will often need to perform unnecessary work (e.g. when
reading the entire config every time `git config` is called to query a
single config value).

The current version of the builtin difftool does not, however, make full
use of the internals but instead chooses to spawn a couple of Git
processes, still, to make for an easier conversion. There remains a lot
of room for improvement, left later.

Note: to play it safe, the original difftool is still called unless the
config setting difftool.useBuiltin is set to true.

The reason: this new, experimental, builtin difftool was shipped as part
of Git for Windows v2.11.0, to allow for easier large-scale testing, but
of course as an opt-in feature.

The speedup is actually more noticable on Linux than on Windows: a quick
test shows that t7800-difftool.sh runs in (2.183s/0.052s/0.108s)
(real/user/sys) in a Linux VM, down from  (6.529s/3.112s/0.644s), while on
Windows, it is (36.064s/2.730s/7.194s), down from (47.637s/2.407s/6.863s).
The culprit is most likely the overhead incurred from *still* having to
shell out to mergetool-lib.sh and difftool--helper.sh.

Still, it is an improvement.
