Jeff King 36a317929b refs: switch peel_ref() to peel_iterated_oid()
The peel_ref() interface is confusing and error-prone:

  - it's typically used by ref iteration callbacks that have both a
    refname and oid. But since they pass only the refname, we may load
    the ref value from the filesystem again. This is inefficient, but
    also means we are open to a race if somebody simultaneously updates
    the ref. E.g., this:

      int some_ref_cb(const char *refname, const struct object_id *oid, ...)
      {
              if (!peel_ref(refname, &peeled))
                      printf("%s peels to %s",
                             oid_to_hex(oid), oid_to_hex(&peeled);
      }

    could print nonsense. It is correct to say "refname peels to..."
    (you may see the "before" value or the "after" value, either of
    which is consistent), but mentioning both oids may be mixing
    before/after values.

    Worse, whether this is possible depends on whether the optimization
    to read from the current iterator value kicks in. So it is actually
    not possible with:

      for_each_ref(some_ref_cb);

    but it _is_ possible with:

      head_ref(some_ref_cb);

    which does not use the iterator mechanism (though in practice, HEAD
    should never peel to anything, so this may not be triggerable).

  - it must take a fully-qualified refname for the read_ref_full() code
    path to work. Yet we routinely pass it partial refnames from
    callbacks to for_each_tag_ref(), etc. This happens to work when
    iterating because there we do not call read_ref_full() at all, and
    only use the passed refname to check if it is the same as the
    iterator. But the requirements for the function parameters are quite
    unclear.

Instead of taking a refname, let's instead take an oid. That fixes both
problems. It's a little funny for a "ref" function not to involve refs
at all. The key thing is that it's optimizing under the hood based on
having access to the ref iterator. So let's change the name to make it
clear why you'd want this function versus just peel_object().

There are two other directions I considered but rejected:

  - we could pass the peel information into the each_ref_fn callback.
    However, we don't know if the caller actually wants it or not. For
    packed-refs, providing it is essentially free. But for loose refs,
    we actually have to peel the object, which would be wasteful in most
    cases. We could likewise pass in a flag to the callback indicating
    whether the peeled information is known, but that complicates those
    callbacks, as they then have to decide whether to manually peel
    themselves. Plus it requires changing the interface of every
    callback, whether they care about peeling or not, and there are many
    of them.

  - we could make a function to return the peeled value of the current
    iterated ref (computing it if necessary), and BUG() otherwise. I.e.:

      int peel_current_iterated_ref(struct object_id *out);

    Each of the current callers is an each_ref_fn callback, so they'd
    mostly be happy. But:

      - we use those callbacks with functions like head_ref(), which do
        not use the iteration code. So we'd need to handle the fallback
        case there, anyway.

      - it's possible that a caller would want to call into generic code
        that sometimes is used during iteration and sometimes not. This
        encapsulates the logic to do the fast thing when possible, and
        fallback when necessary.

The implementation is mostly obvious, but I want to call out a few
things in the patch:

  - the test-tool coverage for peel_ref() is now meaningless, as it all
    collapses to a single peel_object() call (arguably they were pretty
    uninteresting before; the tricky part of that function is the
    fast-path we see during iteration, but these calls didn't trigger
    that). I've just dropped it entirely, though note that some other
    tests relied on the tags we created; I've moved that creation to the
    tests where it matters.

  - we no longer need to take a ref_store parameter, since we'd never
    look up a ref now. We do still rely on a global "current iterator"
    variable which _could_ be kept per-ref-store. But in practice this
    is only useful if there are multiple recursive iterations, at which
    point the more appropriate solution is probably a stack of
    iterators. No caller used the actual ref-store parameter anyway
    (they all call the wrapper that passes the_repository).

  - the original only kicked in the optimization when the "refname"
    pointer matched (i.e., not string comparison). We do likewise with
    the "oid" parameter here, but fall back to doing an actual oideq()
    call. This in theory lets us kick in the optimization more often,
    though in practice no current caller cares. It should never be
    wrong, though (peeling is a property of an object, so two refs
    pointing to the same object would peel identically).

  - the original took care not to touch the peeled out-parameter unless
    we found something to put in it. But no caller cares about this, and
    anyway, it is enforced by peel_object() itself (and even in the
    optimized iterator case, that's where we eventually end up). We can
    shorten the code and avoid an extra copy by just passing the
    out-parameter through the stack.

Johannes Schindelin 675704c74d init: provide useful advice about init.defaultBranch
To give ample warning for users wishing to override Git's the fall-back
for an unconfigured `init.defaultBranch` (in case we decide to change it
in a future Git version), let's introduce some advice that is shown upon
`git init` when that value is not set.

Note: two test cases in Git's test suite want to verify that the
`stderr` output of `git init` is empty. It is now necessary to suppress
the advice, we now do that via the `init.defaultBranch` setting. While
not strictly necessary, we also set this to `false` in
`test_create_repo()`.

We are about to introduce a message giving users running `git init` some
advice about `init.defaultBranch`. This will necessarily be done in
`repo_default_branch_name()`.

Not all code paths want to show that advice, though. In particular, the
`git clone` codepath _specifically_ asks for `init_db()` to be quiet,
via the `INIT_DB_QUIET` flag.

In preparation for showing users above-mentioned advice, let's change
the function signature of `get_default_branch_name()` to accept the
parameter `quiet`.

Johannes Schindelin 704fed9ea2 tests: start moving to a different default main branch name
To allow for an incremental conversion to a new default main branch
name, let's introduce `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_MAIN_BRANCH_NAME`. This
environment variable can be set at the top of each converted test
script, overriding the default main branch name to use when initializing
new repositories (or cloning empty repositories).

Note: the `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_MAIN_BRANCH_NAME` is _not_ intended to be
used manually; many tests require a specific main branch name and cannot
simply work with another one. This `GIT_TEST_*` variable is meant purely
for the transitional period while the entire test suite is converted to
use `main` as the initial branch name by default.

We also introduce the `PREPARE_FOR_MAIN_BRANCH` prereq that determines
whether the default main branch name is `main`, and adjust a couple of
test functions to use it. This prereq will be used to temporarily
disable a couple test cases to allow for adjusting the test script
incrementally. Once an entire test is adjusted, we will adjust the test
so that it is run with `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_MAIN_BRANCH_NAME=main`.

Jonathan Tan f24c30e0b6 wt-status: tolerate dangling marks
When a user checks out the upstream branch of HEAD, the upstream branch
not being a local branch, and then runs "git status", like this:

  git clone $URL client
  cd client
  git checkout @{u}
  git status

no status is printed, but instead an error message:

  fatal: HEAD does not point to a branch

(This error message when running "git branch" persists even after
checking out other things - it only stops after checking out a branch.)

This is because "git status" reads the reflog when determining the "HEAD
detached" message, and thus attempts to DWIM "@{u}", but that doesn't
work because HEAD no longer points to a branch.

Therefore, when calculating the status of a worktree, tolerate dangling
marks. This is done by adding an additional parameter to
dwim_ref() and repo_dwim_ref().

Patrick Steinhardt 0a0fbbe3ff refs: remove lookup cache for reference-transaction hook
When adding the reference-transaction hook, there were concerns about
the performance impact it may have on setups which do not make use of
the new hook at all. After all, it gets executed every time a reftx is
prepared, committed or aborted, which linearly scales with the number of
reference-transactions created per session. And as there are code paths
like `git push` which create a new transaction for each reference to be
updated, this may translate to calling `find_hook()` quite a lot.

To address this concern, a cache was added with the intention to not
repeatedly do negative hook lookups. Turns out this cache caused a
regression, which was fixed via e5256c82e5 (refs: fix interleaving hook
calls with reference-transaction hook, 2020-08-07). In the process of
discussing the fix, we realized that the cache doesn't really help even
in the negative-lookup case. While performance tests added to benchmark
this did show a slight improvement in the 1% range, this really doesn't
warrent having a cache. Furthermore, it's quite flaky, too. E.g. running
it twice in succession produces the following results:

Test                         master            pks-reftx-hook-remove-cache
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1400.2: update-ref           2.79(2.16+0.74)   2.73(2.12+0.71) -2.2%
1400.3: update-ref --stdin   0.22(0.08+0.14)   0.21(0.08+0.12) -4.5%

Test                         master            pks-reftx-hook-remove-cache
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1400.2: update-ref           2.70(2.09+0.72)   2.74(2.13+0.71) +1.5%
1400.3: update-ref --stdin   0.21(0.10+0.10)   0.21(0.08+0.13) +0.0%

One case notably absent from those benchmarks is a single executable
searching for the hook hundreds of times, which is exactly the case for
which the negative cache was added. p1400.2 will spawn a new update-ref
for each transaction and p1400.3 only has a single reference-transaction
for all reference updates. So this commit adds a third benchmark, which
performs an non-atomic push of a thousand references. This will create a
new reference transaction per reference. But even for this case, the
negative cache doesn't consistently improve performance:

Test                         master            pks-reftx-hook-remove-cache
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1400.4: nonatomic push       6.63(6.50+0.13)   6.81(6.67+0.14) +2.7%
1400.4: nonatomic push       6.35(6.21+0.14)   6.39(6.23+0.16) +0.6%
1400.4: nonatomic push       6.43(6.31+0.13)   6.42(6.28+0.15) -0.2%

So let's just remove the cache altogether to simplify the code.

Patrick Steinhardt e5256c82e5 refs: fix interleaving hook calls with reference-transaction hook
In order to not repeatedly search for the reference-transaction hook in
case it's getting called multiple times, we use a caching mechanism to
only call `find_hook()` once. What was missed though is that the return
value of `find_hook()` actually comes from a static strbuf, which means
it will get overwritten when calling `find_hook()` again. As a result,
we may call the wrong hook with parameters of the reference-transaction
hook.

This scenario was spotted in the wild when executing a git-push(1) with
multiple references, where there are interleaving calls to both the
update and the reference-transaction hook. While initial calls to the
reference-transaction hook work as expected, it will stop working after
the next invocation of the update hook. The result is that we now start
calling the update hook with parameters and stdin of the
reference-transaction hook.

This commit fixes the issue by storing a copy of `find_hook()`'s return
value in the cache.

Jeff King c972bf4cf5 strvec: convert remaining callers away from argv_array name
We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec
consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once,
or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits.
Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable
to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different
names is OK).

This patch converts all of the remaining files, as the resulting diff is
reasonably sized.

The conversion was done purely mechanically with:

  git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
  xargs perl -i -pe '
    s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g;
    s/argv_array/strvec/g;

The previous behavior was introduced in commit 74ec19d4be
("pseudorefs: create and use pseudoref update and delete functions",
Jul 31, 2015), with the justification "alternate ref backends still
need to store pseudorefs in GIT_DIR".

Refs such as REBASE_HEAD are read through the ref backend. This can
only work consistently if they are written through the ref backend as
well. Tooling that works directly on files under .git should be
updated to use git commands to read refs instead.

The following behaviors change:

* Updates to pseudorefs (eg. ORIG_HEAD) with
  core.logAllRefUpdates=always will create reflogs for the pseudoref.

* non-HEAD pseudoref symrefs are also dereferenced on deletion. Update
  t1405 accordingly.

Junio C Hamano 523fa69c36 reflog: cleanse messages in the refs.c layer
Regarding reflog messages:

 - We expect that a reflog message consists of a single line.  The
   file format used by the files backend may add a LF after the
   message as a delimiter, and output by commands like "git log -g"
   may complete such an incomplete line by adding a LF at the end,
   but philosophically, the terminating LF is not a part of the
   message.

 - We however allow callers of refs API to supply a random sequence
   of NUL terminated bytes.  We cleanse caller-supplied message by
   squashing a run of whitespaces into a SP, and by trimming trailing
   whitespace, before storing the message.  This is how we tolerate,
   instead of erring out, a message with LF in it (be it at the end,
   in the middle, or both).

Currently, the cleansing of the reflog message is done by the files
backend, before the log is written out.  This is sufficient with the
current code, as that is the only backend that writes reflogs.  But
new backends can be added that write reflogs, and we'd want the
resulting log message we would read out of "log -g" the same no
matter what backend is used, and moving the code to do so to the
generic layer is a way to do so.

An added benefit is that the "cleansing" function could be updated
later, independent from individual backends, to e.g. allow
multi-line log messages if we wanted to, and when that happens, it
would help a lot to ensure we covered all bases if the cleansing
function (which would be updated) is called from the generic layer.

Side note: I am not interested in supporting multi-line reflog
messages right at the moment (nobody is asking for it), but I
envision that instead of the "squash a run of whitespaces into a SP
and rtrim" cleansing, we can %urlencode problematic bytes in the
message *AND* append a SP at the end, when a new version of Git that
supports multi-line and/or verbatim reflog messages writes a reflog
record.  The reading side can detect the presense of SP at the end
(which should have been rtrimmed out if it were written by existing
versions of Git) as a signal that decoding %urlencode recovers the
original reflog message.

We just introduced the command-line option
`--initial-branch=<branch-name>` to allow initializing a new repository
with a different initial branch than the hard-coded one.

To allow users to override the initial branch name more permanently
(i.e. without having to specify the name manually for each and every

setting.

Patrick Steinhardt 6754159767 refs: implement reference transaction hook
The low-level reference transactions used to update references are
currently completely opaque to the user. While certainly desirable in
most usecases, there are some which might want to hook into the
transaction to observe all queued reference updates as well as observing
the abortion or commit of a prepared transaction.

One such usecase would be to have a set of replicas of a given Git
repository, where we perform Git operations on all of the repositories
at once and expect the outcome to be the same in all of them. While
there exist hooks already for a certain subset of Git commands that
could be used to implement a voting mechanism for this, many others
currently don't have any mechanism for this.

The above scenario is the motivation for the new "reference-transaction"
hook that reaches directly into Git's reference transaction mechanism.
The hook receives as parameter the current state the transaction was
moved to ("prepared", "committed" or "aborted") and gets via its
standard input all queued reference updates. While the exit code gets
ignored in the "committed" and "aborted" states, a non-zero exit code in
the "prepared" state will cause the transaction to be aborted
prematurely.

Given the usecase described above, a voting mechanism can now be
implemented via this hook: as soon as it gets called, it will take all
of stdin and use it to cast a vote to a central service. When all
replicas of the repository agree, the hook will exit with zero,
otherwise it will abort the transaction by returning non-zero. The most
important upside is that this will catch _all_ commands writing
references at once, allowing to implement strong consistency for
reference updates via a single mechanism.

In order to test the impact on the case where we don't have any
"reference-transaction" hook installed in the repository, this commit
introduce two new performance tests for git-update-refs(1). Run against
an empty repository, it produces the following results:

  Test                         origin/master     HEAD
  --------------------------------------------------------------------
  1400.2: update-ref           2.70(2.10+0.71)   2.71(2.10+0.73) +0.4%
  1400.3: update-ref --stdin   0.21(0.09+0.11)   0.21(0.07+0.14) +0.0%

The performance test p1400.2 creates, updates and deletes a branch a
thousand times, thus averaging runtime of git-update-refs over 3000
invocations. p1400.3 instead calls `git-update-refs --stdin` three times
and queues a thousand creations, updates and deletes respectively.

As expected, p1400.3 consistently shows no noticeable impact, as for
each batch of updates there's a single call to access(3P) for the
negative hook lookup. On the other hand, for p1400.2, one can see an
impact caused by this patchset. But doing five runs of the performance
tests where each one was run with GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=10, the overhead
ranged from -1.5% to +1.1%. These inconsistent performance numbers can
be explained by the overhead of spawning 3000 processes. This shows that
the overhead of assembling the hook path and executing access(3P) once
to check if it's there is mostly outweighed by the operating system's
overhead.

Abhishek Kumar 6da43d937c object: drop parsed_object_pool->commit_count
14ba97f8 (alloc: allow arbitrary repositories for alloc functions,
2018-05-15) introduced parsed_object_pool->commit_count to keep count of
commits per repository and was used to assign commit->index.

However, commit-slab code requires commit->index values to be unique
and a global count would be correct, rather than a per-repo count.

Let's introduce a static counter variable, `parsed_commits_count` to
keep track of parsed commits so far.

As commit_count has no use anymore, let's also drop it from the struct.

Derrick Stolee c9f7a793e8 log-tree: make ref_filter_match() a helper method
The ref_filter_match() method is defined in refs.h and implemented
in refs.c, but is only used by add_ref_decoration() in log-tree.c.
Move it into that file as a static helper method. The
match_ref_pattern() comes along for the ride.

While moving the code, also make a slight adjustment to have
ref_filter_match() take a struct decoration_filter pointer instead
of multiple string lists. This is non-functional, but will make a
later change be much cleaner.

The diff is easier to parse when using the --color-moved option.

Jeff King 0220461071 repository: mark the "refs" pointer as private
The "refs" pointer in a struct repository starts life as NULL, but then
is lazily initialized when it is accessed via get_main_ref_store().
However, it's easy for calling code to forget this and access it
directly, leading to code which works _some_ of the time, but fails if
it is called before anybody else accesses the refs.

This was the cause of the bug fixed by 5ff4b920eb (sha1-name: do not
assume that the ref store is initialized, 2020-04-09). In order to
prevent similar bugs, let's more clearly mark the "refs" field as
private.

In addition to helping future code, the name change will help us audit
any existing direct uses. Besides get_main_ref_store() itself, it turns
out there is only one. But we know it's OK as it is on the line directly
after the fix from 5ff4b920eb, which will have initialized the pointer.
However it's still a good idea for it to model the proper use of the
accessing function, so we'll convert it.
