Michael Haggerty 524a9fdb51 refs_verify_refname_available(): use function in more places
Change `lock_raw_ref()` and `lock_ref_sha1_basic()` to use
`refs_verify_refname_available()` instead of
`verify_refname_available_dir()`. This means that those callsites now
check for conflicts with all references rather than just packed refs,
but the performance cost shouldn't be significant (and will be
regained later).

These were the last callers of `verify_refname_available_dir()`, so
also delete that (very complicated) function.

Michael Haggerty b05855b5bc refs_verify_refname_available(): implement once for all backends
It turns out that we can now implement
`refs_verify_refname_available()` based on the other virtual
functions, so there is no need for it to be defined at the backend
level. Instead, define it once in `refs.c` and remove the
`files_backend` definition.

Michael Haggerty 68fb02e40d get_ref_dir(): don't call read_loose_refs() for "refs/bisect"
Since references under "refs/bisect/" are per-worktree, they have to
be sought in the worktree rather than in the main repository. But
since loose references are found by traversing directories, the
reference iterator won't even get the idea to look for a
"refs/bisect/" directory in the worktree if there is not a directory
with that name in the main repository. Thus `get_ref_dir()` manually
inserts a dir_entry for "refs/bisect/" whenever it reads the entry for
"refs/".

The current code then immediately calls `read_loose_refs()` on that
directory. But since the dir_entry is created with its `incomplete`
flag set, any traversal that gets to this point will read the
directory automatically. So there is no need to call
`read_loose_refs()` explicitly; the lazy mechanism suffices.

And in fact, the attempt to `read_loose_refs()` was broken anyway.
That function needs its `dirname` argument to have a trailing `/`
character, but the invocation here was passing it "refs/bisect"
without a trailing slash. So `read_loose_refs()` would read
`$GIT_DIR/refs/bisect" correctly, but if it found an entry "foo" in
that directory, it would try to read "$GIT_DIR/refs/bisectfoo".
Normally it wouldn't find anything at that path, but the failure was
canceled out because `get_ref_dir()` *also* forgot to reset the
`REF_INCOMPLETE` bit on the dir_entry. So the read was attempted again
when it was accessed, via the lazy mechanism, and this time the read
was done correctly.

This code has been broken since it was first introduced.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 2f40e95472 files-backend: avoid ref api targeting main ref store
A small step towards making files-backend work as a non-main ref store
using the newly added store-aware API.

For the record, `join` and `nm` on refs.o and files-backend.o tell me
that files-backend no longer uses functions that default to
get_main_ref_store().

I'm not yet comfortable at the idea of removing
files_assert_main_repository() (or converting REF_STORE_MAIN to
REF_STORE_WRITE). More staring and testing is required before that can
happen. Well, except peel_ref(). I'm pretty sure that function is safe.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 9e7ec634a1 files-backend: replace submodule_allowed check in files_downcast()
files-backend.c is unlearning submodules. Instead of having a specific
check for submodules to see what operation is allowed, files backend
now takes a set of flags at init. Each operation will check if the
required flags is present before performing.

For now we have four flags: read, write and odb access. Main ref store
has all flags, obviously, while submodule stores are read-only and have
access to odb (*).

The "main" flag stays because many functions in the backend calls
frontend ones without a ref store, so these functions always target the
main ref store. Ideally the flag should be gone after ref-store-aware
api is in place and used by backends.

(*) Submodule code needs for_each_ref. Try take REF_STORE_ODB flag
out. At least t3404 would fail. The "have access to odb" in submodule is
a bit hacky since we don't know from he whether add_submodule_odb() has
been called.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 5d0bc90e5d refs: move submodule code out of files-backend.c
files-backend is now initialized with a $GIT_DIR. Converting a submodule
path to where real submodule gitdir is located is done in get_ref_store().

This gives a slight performance improvement for submodules since we
don't convert submodule path to gitdir at every backend call like
before. We pay that once at ref-store creation.

More cleanup in files_downcast() and files_assert_main_repository()
follows shortly. It's separate to keep noises from this patch.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy f57f37e2e1 files-backend: remove the use of git_path()
Given $GIT_DIR and $GIT_COMMON_DIR, files-backend is now in charge of
deciding what goes where (*). The end goal is to pass $GIT_DIR only. A
refs "view" of a linked worktree is a logical ref store that combines
two files backends together.

(*) Not entirely true since strbuf_git_path_submodule() still does path
translation underneath. But that's for another patch.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 1eab194bf0 files-backend: delete dead code in files_init_db()
safe_create_dir() can do adjust_shared_perm() internally, and init-db
has always created 'refs' in shared mode since the beginning,
af6e277c5e (git-init-db: initialize shared repositories with --shared -
2005-12-22). So this code looks like extra adjust_shared_perm calls are
unnecessary.

And they are. But let's see why there are here in the first place.

This code was added in 6fb5acfd8f (refs: add methods to init refs db -
2016-09-04). From the diff alone this looks like a faithful refactored
code from init-db.c. But there is a subtle difference:

Between the safe_create_dir() block and adjust_shared_perm() block in
the old init-db.c, we may copy/recreate directories from the repo
template. So it makes sense that adjust_shared_perm() is re-executed
then to fix potential permission screwups.

After 6fb5acfd8f, refs dirs are created after template is copied. Nobody
will change directory permission again. So the extra adjust_shared_perm()
is redudant. Delete them.

Kyle Meyer 39ee4c6c2f branch: record creation of renamed branch in HEAD's log
Renaming the current branch adds an event to the current branch's log
and to HEAD's log.  However, the logged entries differ.  The entry in
the branch's log represents the entire renaming operation (the old and
new hash are identical), whereas the entry in HEAD's log represents
the deletion only (the new sha1 is null).

Extend replace_each_worktree_head_symref(), whose only caller is
branch_rename(), to take a reflog message argument.  This allows the
creation of the new ref to be recorded in HEAD's log.  As a result,
the renaming event is represented by two entries (a deletion and a
creation entry) in HEAD's log.

It's a bit unfortunate that the branch's log and HEAD's log now
represent the renaming event in different ways.  Given that the
renaming operation is not atomic, the two-entry form is a more
accurate representation of the operation and is more useful for
debugging purposes if a failure occurs between the deletion and
creation events.  It would make sense to move the branch's log to the
two-entry form, but this would involve changes to how the rename is
carried out and to how the update flags and reflogs are processed for
deletions, so it may not be worth the effort.

recorded in HEAD's log with an empty message.  Now that delete_ref()

The next step will be to extend HEAD's log to also include the second

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.

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).

Michael Haggerty 446397774a files_transaction_commit(): clean up empty directories
When deleting/pruning references, remove any directories that are made
empty by the deletion of loose references or of reflogs. Otherwise such
empty directories can survive forever and accumulate over time. (Even
'pack-refs', which is smart enough to remove the parent directories of
loose references that it prunes, leaves directories that were already
empty.)

And now that files_transaction_commit() takes care of deleting the
parent directories of loose references that it prunes, we don't have to
do that in prune_ref() anymore.

This change would be unwise if the *creation* of these directories could
race with our deletion of them. But the earlier changes in this patch
series made the creation paths robust against races, so now it is safe
to tidy them up more aggressively.

Michael Haggerty 1fb0c80985 log_ref_setup(): improve robustness against races
Change log_ref_setup() to use raceproof_create_file() to create the new
logfile. This makes it more robust against a race against another
process that might be trying to clean up empty directories while we are
trying to create a new logfile.

This also means that it will only call create_leading_directories() if
open() fails, which should be a net win. Even in the cases where we are
willing to create a new logfile, it will usually be the case that the
logfile already exists, or if not then that the directory containing the
logfile already exists. In such cases, we will save some work that was
previously done unconditionally.

Jeff King 3f7bd767ed files_read_raw_ref: avoid infinite loop on broken symlinks
Our ref resolution first runs lstat() on any path we try to
look up, because we want to treat symlinks specially (by
resolving them manually and considering them symrefs). But
if the results of `readlink` do _not_ look like a ref, we
fall through to treating it like a normal file, and just
read the contents of the linked path.

Since fcb7c76 (resolve_ref_unsafe(): close race condition
reading loose refs, 2013-06-19), that "normal file" code
path will stat() the file and if we see ENOENT, will jump
back to the lstat(), thinking we've seen inconsistent
results between the two calls. But for a symbolic ref, this
isn't a race: the lstat() found the symlink, and the stat()
is looking at the path it points to. We end up in an
infinite loop calling lstat() and stat().

We can fix this by avoiding the retry-on-inconsistent jump
when we know that we found a symlink. While we're at it,
let's add a comment explaining why the symlink case gets to
this code in the first place; without that, it is not
obvious that the correct solution isn't to avoid the stat()
code path entirely.

Michael Haggerty 00eebe351c refs: create a base class "ref_store" for files_ref_store
We want ref_stores to be polymorphic, so invent a base class of which
files_ref_store is a derived class. For now there is exactly one
ref_store for the main repository and one for any submodules whose
references have been accessed.

Ronnie Sahlberg 3dce444f17 refs: add a backend method structure
Add a `struct ref_storage_be` to represent types of reference stores. In
OO notation, this is the class, and will soon hold some class
methods (e.g., a factory to create new ref_store instances) and will
also serve as the vtable for ref_store instances of that type.

As yet, the backends cannot do anything.

Michael Haggerty 65a0a8e5fa refs: rename struct ref_cache to files_ref_store
The greater goal of this patch series is to develop the concept of a
reference store, which is a place that references, their values, and
their reflogs are stored, and to virtualize the reference interface so
that different types of ref_stores can be implemented. We will then, for
example, use ref_store instances to access submodule references and
worktree references.

Currently, we keep a ref_cache for each submodule that has had its
references iterated over. It is a far cry from a ref_store, but they are
stored the way we will want to store ref_stores, and ref_stores will
eventually have to hold the reference caches. So let's treat ref_caches
as embryo ref_stores, and build them out from there.

As the first step, simply rename `ref_cache` to `files_ref_store`, and
rename some functions and attributes correspondingly.

Jacob Keller 99b43a61f2 allow do_submodule_path to work even if submodule isn't checked out
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"

Add tests to ensure this change works as expected.
