631b5ef219 push --force-with-lease: tie it all together
This teaches the deepest part of the callchain for "git push" (and
"git send-pack") to enforce "the old value of the ref must be this,
otherwise fail this push" (aka "compare-and-swap" / "--lockref").

4621085b7e add missing "format" function attributes
For most of our functions that take printf-like formats, we
use gcc's __attribute__((format)) to get compiler warnings
when the functions are misused. Let's give a few more
functions the same protection.

In most cases, the annotations do not uncover any actual
bugs; the only code change needed is that we passed a size_t
to transfer_debug, which expected an int. Since we expect
the passed-in value to be a relatively small buffer size
(and cast a similar value to int directly below), we can
just cast away the problem.

266f1fdfa9 transport-helper: be quiet on read errors from helpers
Prior to commit 81d340d4, we did not print any error message
if a remote transport helper died unexpectedly. If a helper
did not print any error message (e.g., because it crashed),
the user could be left confused. That commit tried to
rectify the situation by printing a note that the helper
exited unexpectedly.

However, this makes a much more common case worse: when a
helper does die with a useful message, we print the extra
"Reading from 'git-remote-foo failed" message. This can also
end up confusing users, as they may not even know what
remote helpers are (e.g., the fact that http support comes
through git-remote-https is purely an implementation detail
that most users do not know or care about).

Since we do not have a good way of knowing whether the
helper printed a useful error, and since the common failure
mode is for it to do so, let's default to remaining quiet.
Debuggers can dig further by setting GIT_TRANSPORT_HELPER_DEBUG.

664059fb62 transport-helper: update remote helper namespace
When pushing, the remote namespace is updated correctly
(e.g. refs/origin/master), but not the remote helper's
(e.g. refs/testgit/origin/master), which currently is only
updated while fetching.

Since the remote namespace is used to tell fast-export which commits
to avoid (because they were already imported/exported), it makes
sense to have them in sync so they don't get generated twice. If the
remote helper was implemented properly, they would be ignored, if
not, they probably would end up repeated.

a93b4a09ac transport-helper: warn when refspec is not used
For the modes that need it. In the future we should probably error out,
instead of providing half-assed support.

The reason we want to do this is because if it's not present, the remote
helper might be updating refs/heads/*, or refs/remotes/origin/*,
directly, and in the process fetch will get confused trying to update
refs that are already updated, or older than what they should be. We
shouldn't be messing with the rest of git.

b8bd826f3a transport-helper: pass --signed-tags=warn-strip to fast-export
Currently, attempting to push a signed tag to a remote helper which uses
fast-export results in the remote helper failing because the default
fast-export action for signed tags is "abort".  This is not helpful for
users because there is no way to pass additional arguments to
fast-export here, either from the remote helper or from the command
line.

In general, the signature will be invalidated by whatever transformation
a remote helper performs on a tag to push it to a repository in a
different format so the correct behaviour is to strip the tag.  Doing
this silently may surprise people, so use "warn-strip" to issue a
warning when a signed tag is encountered.

c096955c5b transport-helper: mention helper name when it dies
When we try to read from a remote-helper and get EOF or an
error, we print a message indicating that the helper died.
However, users may not know that a remote helper was in use
(e.g., when using git-over-http), or even what a remote
helper is.

Let's print the name of the helper (e.g., "git-remote-https");
this makes it more obvious what the program is for, and
provides a useful token for reporting bugs or searching for
more information (e.g., in manpages).

81d340d40a transport-helper: report errors properly
If a push fails because the remote-helper died (with fast-export),
the user may not see any error message. We do correctly die with a
failed exit code, as we notice that the helper has died while
reading back the ref status from the helper. However, we don't print
any message. This is OK if the helper itself printed a useful error
message, but we cannot count on that; let's let the user know that
the helper failed.

In the long run, it may make more sense to propagate the error back
up to push, so that it can present the usual status table and give a
nicer message. But this is a much simpler fix that can help
immediately.

While we're adding tests, let's also confirm that the remote-helper
dying is also detected when importing refs. We currently do so
robustly when the helper uses the "done" feature (and that is what
we test).  We cannot do so reliably when the helper does not use the
"done" feature, but it is not even worth testing; the right solution
is for the helper to start using "done".

75e5c0dc55 push: introduce REJECT_FETCH_FIRST and REJECT_NEEDS_FORCE
When we push to update an existing ref, if:

 * the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or
 * the object we are pushing is not a commit,

it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again,
as the old and new objects will not "merge".  We should explain that
the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is
involved in such a case.

If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do
not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be
merged.  In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like
non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in
practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work
to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to
update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work
as a suggestion most of the time.  And if the object at the tip is
not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent
damage.  As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user
will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now
the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved.

In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the
client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the
ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from
there and integrate before pushing again.

Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages
appropriately.

bfc366d931 Connect fast-import to the remote-helper via pipe, adding 'bidi-import' capability
The fast-import commands 'cat-blob' and 'ls' can be used by
remote-helpers to retrieve information about blobs and trees that
already exist in fast-import's memory. This requires a channel from
fast-import to the remote-helper.

remote-helpers that use these features shall advertise the new
'bidi-import' capability to signal that they require the communication
channel.  When forking fast-import in transport-helper.c connect it to
a dup of the remote-helper's stdin-pipe. The additional file
descriptor is passed to fast-import via its command line
(--cat-blob-fd).  It follows that git and fast-import are connected to
the remote-helpers's stdin.

Because git can send multiple commands to the remote-helper on it's
stdin, it is required that helpers that advertise 'bidi-import' buffer
all input commands until the batch of 'import' commands is ended by a
newline before sending data to fast-import.  This is to prevent mixing
commands and fast-import responses on the helper's stdin.

c34fe6304c disconnect from remote helpers more gently
When git spawns a remote helper program (like git-remote-http),
the last thing we do before closing the pipe to the child
process is to send a blank line, telling the helper that we
are done issuing commands. However, the helper may already
have exited, in which case the parent git process will
receive SIGPIPE and die.

In particular, this can happen with the remote-curl helper
when it encounters errors during a push. The helper reports
individual errors for each ref back to git-push, and then
exits with a non-zero exit code. Depending on the exact
timing of the write, the parent process may or may not
receive SIGPIPE.

This causes intermittent test failure in t5541.8, and is a
side effect of 5238cbf (remote-curl: Fix push status report
when all branches fail). Before that commit, remote-curl
would not send the final blank line to indicate that the
list of status lines was complete; it would just exit,
closing the pipe. The parent git-push would notice the
closed pipe while reading the status report and exit
immediately itself, propagating the failing exit code. But
post-5238cbf, remote-curl completes the status list before
exiting, git-push actually runs to completion, and then it
tries to cleanly disconnect the helper, leading to the
SIGPIPE race above.

This patch drops all error-checking when sending the final
"we are about to hang up" blank line to helpers. There is
nothing useful for the parent process to do about errors at
that point anyway, and certainly failing to send our "we are
done with commands" line to a helper that has already exited
is not a problem.

9504bc9d5a transport-helper: change import semantics
Currently the helper must somehow guess how many import statements to
read before it starts outputting its fast-export stream. This is
because the remote helper infrastructure runs fast-import only once,
so the helper is forced to output one stream for all import commands
it will receive. The only reason this worked in the past was because
only one ref was imported at a time.

Change the semantics of the import statement such that it matches
that of the push statement. That is, the import statement is followed
by a series of import statements that are terminated by a '\n'.

1f25c50419 transport-helper: use the new done feature where possible
In other words, use fast-export --use-done-feature to add a 'done'
command at the end of streams passed to remote helpers' "import"
commands, and teach the remote helpers implementing "export" to use
the 'done' command in turn when producing their streams.

The trailing \n in the protocol signals the helper that the
connection is about to close, allowing it to do whatever cleanup
neccesary.

Previously, the connection would already be closed by the
time the trailing \n was to be written. Now that the remote-helper
protocol uses the new done command in its fast-import streams, this
is no longer the case and we can safely write the trailing \n.

d2e73c6f2a transport-helper: factor out push_update_refs_status
The update ref status part of push is useful for the export command
as well, factor it out into it's own function.

Also factor out push_update_ref_status to avoid a long loop without
an explicit condition with a non-trivial body.

e173587252 remote-helpers: export GIT_DIR variable to helpers
The gitdir capability is recognized by git and can be used to tell
the helper where the .git directory is. But it is not mentioned in
the documentation and considered worse than if gitdir was passed
via GIT_DIR environment variable.

Remove support for the gitdir capability and export GIT_DIR instead.
Teach testgit to use env instead of the now-removed gitdir command.

3ea7d09461 transport-helper: don't feed bogus refs to export push
When we want to push to a remote helper that has the
"export" capability, we collect all of the refs we want to
push and then feed them to fast-export.

However, the list of refs is actually a list of remote refs,
not local refs. The mapped local refs are included via the
peer_ref pointer. So when we add an argument to our
fast-export command line, we must be sure to use the local
peer_ref name (and if there is no local name, it is because
we are not actually sending that ref, or we may not even
have the ref at all).

9cba13ca5d standardize brace placement in struct definitions
In a struct definitions, unlike functions, the prevailing style is for
the opening brace to go on the same line as the struct name, like so:

 struct foo {
	int bar;
	char *baz;
 };

Indeed, grepping for 'struct [a-z_]* {$' yields about 5 times as many
matches as 'struct [a-z_]*$'.

d01b3c02e8 transport->progress: use flag authoritatively
Set transport->progress in transport.c::transport_set_verbosity() after
checking for the appropriate conditions (eg. --progress, isatty(2)),
and thereafter use it without having to check again.

The rules used are as follows (processing aborts when a rule is
satisfied):

  1. Report progress, if force_progress is 1 (ie. --progress).
  2. Don't report progress, if verbosity < 0 (ie. -q/--quiet).
  3. Report progress if isatty(2) is 1.

This changes progress reporting behaviour such that if both --progress
and --quiet are specified, progress is reported.

In two areas, the logic to determine whether to *not* show progress is
changed to simply use the negation of transport->progress. This changes
behaviour in some ways (see previous paragraph for details).

If the status of a ref is REF_STATUS_NONE, the remote helper will not
be told to push the ref (via a 'push' command).

However, the remote helper may still act on these refs.

If the helper does act on the ref, and prints a status for it, ignore
the report (ie. don't overwrite the status of the ref with it, nor the
message in the remote_status member) if the reported status is 'no
match'.

This allows the user to be alerted to more "interesting" ref statuses,
like REF_STATUS_NONFASTFORWARD.

20e8b465a5 refactor ref status logic for pushing
Move the logic that detects up-to-date and non-fast-forward refs to a
new function in remote.[ch], set_ref_status_for_push().

Make transport_push() invoke set_ref_status_for_push() before invoking
the push_refs() implementation. (As a side-effect, the push_refs()
implementation in transport-helper.c now knows of non-fast-forward
pushes.)

Removed logic for detecting up-to-date refs from the push_refs()
implementation in transport-helper.c, as transport_push() has already
done so for it.

Make cmd_send_pack() invoke set_ref_status_for_push() before invoking
send_pack(), as transport_push() can't do it for send_pack() here.

Mark the test on the return status of non-fast-forward push to fail.
Git now exits with success, as transport.c::transport_push() does not
check for refs with status REF_STATUS_REJECT_NONFASTFORWARD nor does it
indicate rejected pushes with its return value.

Mark the test for ref status to succeed. As mentioned earlier, refs
might be marked as non-fast-forwards, triggering the push status
printing mechanism in transport.c.

should do and how they should interpret arguments.

f2a37151d4 Fix memory leak in helper method for disconnect
Since some cases may need to disconnect from the helper and reconnect,
wrap the function that just disconnects in a function that also frees
transport->data.

ae4efe1957 Move WebDAV HTTP push under remote-curl
The remote helper interface now supports the push capability,
which can be used to ask the implementation to push one or more
specs to the remote repository.  For remote-curl we implement this
by calling the existing WebDAV based git-http-push executable.

Internally the helper interface uses the push_refs transport hook
so that the complexity of the refspec parsing and matching can be
reused between remote implementations.  When possible however the
helper protocol uses source ref name rather than the source SHA-1,
thereby allowing the helper to access this name if it is useful.

>From Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at>:
 update http tests according to remote-curl capabilities

 o Pushing packed refs is now fixed.

 o The transport helper fails if refs are already up-to-date. Add
   a test for that.

 o The transport helper will notice if refs are already
   up-to-date. We therefore need to update server info in the
   unpacked-refs test.

 o The transport helper will purge deleted branches automatically.

 o Use a variable ($ORIG_HEAD) instead of full SHA-1 name.

ef08ef9ea0 remote-helpers: Support custom transport options
Some transports, like the native pack transport implemented by
fetch-pack, support useful features like depth or include tags.
These should be exposed if the underlying helper knows how to
use them.

292ce46b60 remote-helpers: Fetch more than one ref in a batch
Some network protocols (e.g. native git://) are able to fetch more
than one ref at a time and reduce the overall transfer cost by
combining the requests into a single exchange.  Instead of feeding
each fetch request one at a time to the helper, feed all of them
at once so the helper can decide whether or not it should batch them.

the same style to issue all commands, and it's useful to avoid

c9e388bb48 Make the "traditionally-supported" URLs a special case
Instead of trying to make http://, https://, and ftp:// URLs
indicative of some sort of pattern of transport helper usage, make
them a special case which runs the "curl" helper, and leave the
mechanism by which arbitrary helpers will be chosen entirely to future
work.

1088261f6f git-http-fetch: not a builtin
This splits up git-http-fetch so that it isn't built-in.

It also removes the general dependency on curl, because it is no
longer used by any built-in code. Because they are no longer LIB_OBJS,
add LIB_H to the dependencies of http-related object files, and remove
http.h from the dependencies of transport.o

6eb996b570 Add support for external programs for handling native fetches
transport_get() can call transport_native_helper_init() to have list and
fetch-ref operations handled by running a separate program as:

 git remote-<something> <remote> [<url>]

This program then accepts, on its stdin, "list" and "fetch <hex>
<name>" commands; the former prints out a list of available refs and
either their hashes or what they are symrefs to, while the latter
fetches them into the local object database and prints a newline when done.
