read_packed_sha1 expectes its caller to free the buffer it returns, which

This leak is eventually triggered by "git gc", when it is manually invoked
or there are too many packs around, making gc totally unusable when there
are lots of unreachable objects.

Many call sites use strbuf_init(&foo, 0) to initialize local
strbuf variable "foo" which has not been accessed since its
declaration. These can be replaced with a static initialization
using the STRBUF_INIT macro which is just as readable, saves a
function call, and takes up fewer lines.

This is because openssl header files are always included in
git-compat-util.h since commit 684ec6c63c whenever NO_OPENSSL is not
set, which somehow brings in <openssl/sha1.h> clashing with the custom
ARM version. Compilation of git is probably broken on PPC too for the
same reason.
Turns out that the only file requiring openssl/ssl.h and openssl/err.h
is imap-send.c. But only moving those problematic includes there
doesn't solve the issue as it also includes cache.h which brings in the
conflicting local SHA1 header file.
As suggested by Jeff King, the best solution is to rename our references
to SHA1 functions and structure to something git specific, and define those
according to the implementation used.

Earlier, when pushing into a repository that borrows from alternate object
stores, we followed the longstanding design decision not to trust refs in
the alternate repository that houses the object store we are borrowing
from. If your public repository is borrowing from Linus's public
repository, you pushed into it long time ago, and now when you try to push
your updated history that is in sync with more recent history from Linus,
you will end up sending not just your own development, but also the
changes you acquired through Linus's tree, even though the objects needed
for the latter already exists at the receiving end. This is because the
receiving end does not advertise that the objects only reachable from the
borrowed repository (i.e. Linus's) are already available there.
This solves the issue by making the receiving end advertise refs from
borrowed repositories. They are not sent with their true names but with a
phoney name ".have" to make sure that the old senders will safely ignore
them (otherwise, the old senders will misbehave, trying to push matching
refs, and mirror push that deletes refs that only exist at the receiving
end).

We used to allow callers to pass "foo/bar/" to make sure both "foo" and
"foo/bar" exist and have good permissions, but this interface is too error
prone. If a caller mistakenly passes a path with trailing slashes
(perhaps it forgot to verify the user input) even when it wants to later
mkdir "bar" itself, it will find that it cannot mkdir "bar". If such a
caller does not bother to check the error for EEXIST, it may even
errorneously die().
Because we have no existing callers to use that obscure feature, this
patch removes it to avoid confusion.

When dealing with a repository with lots of loose objects, sha1_object_info
would rescan the packs directory every time an unpacked object was referenced
before finally giving up and looking for the loose object. This caused a lot

Since commit 8eca0b47ff1598a6d163df9358c0e0c9bd92d4c8, it is possible
for read_sha1_file() to return NULL even with existing objects when they
are corrupted. Previously a corrupted object would have terminated the
program immediately, effectively making read_sha1_file() return NULL
only when specified object is not found.

When recursing to unpack a delta base we must unuse_pack() so that
the pack window for the current object does not remain pinned in
memory while the delta base is itself being unpacked and materialized
for our use.
On a long delta chain of 50 objects we may need to access 6 different
windows from a very large (>3G) pack file in order to obtain all
of the delta base content. If the process ulimit permits us to
map/allocate only 1.5G we must release windows during this recursion
to ensure we stay within the ulimit and transition memory from pack
cache to standard malloc, or other mmap needs.
Inserting an unuse_pack() call prior to the recursion allows us to
avoid pinning the current window, making it available for garbage
collection if memory runs low.
This has been broken since at least before 1.5.1-rc1, and very
likely earlier than that. Its fixed now. :)

We should be able to fall back to loose objects or alternative packs when
a pack becomes corrupted. This is especially true when an object exists
in one pack only as a delta but its base object is corrupted. Currently
there is no way to retrieve the former object even if the later is
available in another pack or loose.
This patch allows for a delta to be resolved (with a performance cost)
using a base object from a source other than the pack where that delta
is located. Same thing for non-delta objects: rather than failing
outright, a search is made in other packs or used loose when the
currently active pack has it but corrupted.
Of course git will become extremely noisy with error messages when that
happens. However, if the operation succeeds nevertheless, a simple
'git repack -a -f -d' will "fix" the corrupted repository given that all
corrupted objects have a good duplicate somewhere in the object store,
possibly manually copied from another source.

Now that we've made the loose SHA1 file reading more careful and
streamlined, we only use the old find_sha1_file() function for checking
whether a loose object file exists at all.
As such, the whole 'return stat information' part of it was just
pointless (nobody cares any more), and the naming of the function is not
really all that relevant either.
So simplify it to not do a 'stat()', but just an existence check (which
is what the callers want), and rename it to 'has_loose_object()' which
matches the use.

We used to do 'stat()+open()+mmap()+close()' to read the loose object
file data, which does work fine, but has a couple of problems:
- it unnecessarily walks the filename twice (at 'stat()' time and then
again to open it)
- NFS generally has open-close consistency guarantees, which means that
the initial 'stat()' was technically done outside of the normal
consistency rules.
So change it to do 'open()+fstat()+mmap()+close()' instead, which avoids
both these issues.

Instead of creating new temporary objects in the top-level git object
directory, create them in the same directory they will finally end up in
anyway. This avoids making the final atomic "rename to stable name"
operation be a cross-directory event, which makes it a lot easier for
various filesystems.
Several filesystems do things like change the inode number when moving
files across directories (or refuse to do it entirely).
In particular, it can also cause problems for NFS implementations that
change the filehandle of a file when it moves to a different directory,
like the old user-space NFS server did, and like the Linux knfsd still
does if you don't export your filesystems with 'no_subtree_check' or if
you export a filesystem that doesn't have stable inode numbers across
renames).
This change also obviously implies creating the object fan-out
subdirectory at tempfile creation time, rather than at the final
move_temp_to_file() time. Which actually accounts for most of the size
of the patch.

This consolidates the common operations for closing the new temporary file
that we have written, before we move it into place with the final name.
There's some common code there (make it read-only and check for errors on
close), but more importantly, this also gives a single place to add an
fsync_or_die() call if we want to add a safe mode.

Currently, when looking for a packed object from the pack idx, a
simple binary search is used.
A conventional binary search loop looks like this:
unsigned lo, hi;
do {
unsigned mi = (lo + hi) / 2;
int cmp = "entry pointed at by mi" minus "target";
if (!cmp)
return mi; "mi is the wanted one"
if (cmp > 0)
hi = mi; "mi is larger than target"
else
lo = mi+1; "mi is smaller than target"
} while (lo < hi);
"did not find what we wanted"
The invariants are:
- When entering the loop, 'lo' points at a slot that is never
above the target (it could be at the target), 'hi' points at
a slot that is guaranteed to be above the target (it can
never be at the target).
- We find a point 'mi' between 'lo' and 'hi' ('mi' could be
the same as 'lo', but never can be as high as 'hi'), and
check if 'mi' hits the target. There are three cases:
- if it is a hit, we have found what we are looking for;
- if it is strictly higher than the target, we set it to
'hi', and repeat the search.
- if it is strictly lower than the target, we update 'lo'
to one slot after it, because we allow 'lo' to be at the
target and 'mi' is known to be below the target.
If the loop exits, there is no matching entry.
When choosing 'mi', we do not have to take the "middle" but
anywhere in between 'lo' and 'hi', as long as lo <= mi < hi is
satisfied. When we somehow know that the distance between the
target and 'lo' is much shorter than the target and 'hi', we
could pick 'mi' that is much closer to 'lo' than (hi+lo)/2,
which a conventional binary search would pick.
This patch takes advantage of the fact that the SHA-1 is a good
hash function, and as long as there are enough entries in the
table, we can expect uniform distribution. An entry that begins
with for example "deadbeef..." is much likely to appear much
later than in the midway of a reasonably populated table. In
fact, it can be expected to be near 87% (222/256) from the top
of the table.
This is a work-in-progress and has switches to allow easier
experiments and debugging. Exporting GIT_USE_LOOKUP environment
variable enables this code.

repository (3.0G pack with 95M idx):
