eaeefc3276 odb_pack_keep(): stop generating keepfile name
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).

Instead, let's have odb_pack_keep() just open the file.
Generating the name isn't hard, and a future patch will
switch callers over to odb_pack_name() anyway.

1cec8c634f sha1_file.c: make pack-name helper globally accessible
We provide sha1_pack_name() and sha1_pack_index_name(), but
the more generic form (which takes its own strbuf and an
arbitrary extension) is only used to implement the other
two.  Let's make it available, but clean up a few things:

  1. Name it odb_pack_name(), as the original
     sha1_get_pack_name() is long but not all that
     descriptive.

  2. Switch the strbuf argument to the beginning, so that it
     matches similar path-building functions like
     git_path_buf().

  3. Clean up the out-dated docstring and move it to the
     public declaration.

82c9d6614b move odb_* declarations out of git-compat-util.h
These functions were originally conceived as wrapper
functions similar to xmkstemp(). They were later moved by
463db9b10 (wrapper: move odb_* to environment.c,
2010-11-06). The more appropriate place for a declaration is
in cache.h.

While we're at it, let's add some basic docstrings.

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).

f6371f9210 sha1_file: add read_loose_object() function
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).

34305f7753 pathspec: remove the deprecated get_pathspec function
Now that all callers of the old 'get_pathspec' interface have been
migrated to use the new pathspec struct interface it can be removed
from the codebase.

Since there are no more users of the '_raw' field in the pathspec struct
it can also be removed.  This patch also removes the old functionality
of modifying the const char **argv array that was passed into
parse_pathspec.  Instead the constructed 'match' string (which is a
pathspec element with the prefix prepended) is only stored in its
corresponding pathspec_item entry.

8de7eeb54b compression: unify pack.compression configuration parsing
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
this variable.

b4d065df03 sha1_file: stop opening files with O_NOATIME
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.

1b8ac5ead5 git_open(): untangle possible NOATIME and CLOEXEC interactions
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.

ef2ed5013c find_unique_abbrev: use 4-buffer ring
Some code paths want to format multiple abbreviated sha1s in
the same output line. Because we use a single static buffer
for our return value, they have to either break their output
into several calls or allocate their own arrays and use
find_unique_abbrev_r().

Intead, let's mimic sha1_to_hex() and use a ring of several
buffers, so that the return value stays valid through
multiple calls. This shortens some of the callers, and makes
it harder to for them to make a silly mistake.

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:

Test            HEAD^               HEAD
----------------------------------------------------------
5550.4: fetch   11.21(10.42+0.78)   0.08(0.04+0.02) -99.3%

38dbe5f078 alternates: store scratch buffer as strbuf
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.

597f9134de alternates: use a separate scratch space
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.

7f0fa2c02a alternates: provide helper for allocating alternate
Allocating a struct alternate_object_database is tricky, as
we must over-allocate the buffer to provide scratch space,
and then put in particular '/' and NUL markers.

Let's encapsulate this in a function so that the complexity
doesn't leak into callers (and so that we can modify it
later).

object store to our in-memory alt_odb list, but does it
manually. Let's provide a helper so it can reuse the code in
link_alt_odb_entry().

74866d7579 git: make super-prefix option
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.

66c22ba6fb Merge branch 'jk/ambiguous-short-object-names'
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.

8e3f52d778 find_unique_abbrev: move logic out of get_short_sha1()
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.
