There are basically two categories of update failures for
local refs:
1. problems outside of git, like disk full, bad
permissions, etc.
2. D/F conflicts on tracking branch ref names
In either case, there should already have been an error
message. In case '1', hopefully enough information has
already been given that the user can fix it. In the case of
'2', we can hint that the user can clean up their tracking
branch area by using 'git remote prune'.
Note that we don't actually know _which_ case we have, so
the user will receive the hint in case 1, as well. In this
case the suggestion won't do any good, but hopefully the
user is smart enough to figure out that it's just a hint.

Previously, if there was an error while storing a local
tracking ref, the low-level functions would report an error,
but fetch's status output wouldn't indicate any problem.
E.g., imagine you have an old "refs/remotes/origin/foo/bar" but
upstream has deleted "foo/bar" in favor of a new branch
"foo". You would get output like this:
error: there are still refs under 'refs/remotes/origin/foo'
From $url_of_repo
* [new branch] foo -> origin/foo
With this patch, the output takes into account the status of
updating the local ref:
error: there are still refs under 'refs/remotes/origin/foo'
From $url_of_repo
! [new branch] foo -> origin/foo (unable to update local ref)

There was code in update_local_ref for handling this case,

FETCH_HEAD meant a blank peer_ref name, but we actually have
a NULL peer_ref in this case, so we never even made it to
the update_local_ref function.
On top of that, the display formatting was different from
all of the other cases, probably owing to the fact that
nobody had ever actually seen the output.

We tightened the refspec validation code in an earlier commit ef00d15
(Tighten refspec processing, 2008-03-17) per my suggestion, but the
suggestion was misguided to begin with and it broke this usage:
$ git push origin HEAD~12:master
The syntax of push refspecs and fetch refspecs are similar in that they
are both colon separated LHS and RHS (possibly prefixed with a + to
force), but the similarity ends there. For example, LHS in a push refspec
can be anything that evaluates to a valid object name at runtime (except
when colon and RHS is missing, or it is a glob), while it must be a
valid-looking refname in a fetch refspec. To validate them correctly, the
caller needs to be able to say which kind of refspecs they are. It is
unreasonable to keep a single interface that cannot tell which kind it is
dealing with, and ask it to behave sensibly.
This commit separates the parsing of the two into different functions, and
clarifies the code to implement the parsing proper (i.e. splitting into
two parts, making sure both sides are wildcard or neither side is).
This happens to also allow pushing a commit named with the esoteric "look
for that string" syntax:

Prior to commit 8320199 (Rewrite builtin-fetch option parsing to use

fetch tags from the remote". This patch reinstates behaviour similar,
but not identical to the pre commit 8320199 times.
Back then, -n always overrode --tags, so if both --tags and -n was
given on command-line, no tags were fetched regardless of argument
ordering. Now we use a "last entry wins" strategy, so '-n --tags'
means "fetch tags".
Since it's patently absurd to say both --tags and --no-tags, this
shouldn't matter in practice.

If the remote peer upload-pack process supports the include-tag
protocol extension then we can avoid running a second fetch cycle
on the client side by letting the server send us the annotated tags
along with the objects it is packing for us. In the following graph
we can now fetch both "tag1" and "tag2" on the same connection that
we fetched "master" from the remote when we only have L available
on the local side:
T - tag1 S - tag2
/ /
L - o ------ o ------ B
\ \
\ \
origin/master master
The objects for "tag1" are implicitly downloaded without our direct
knowledge. The existing "quickfetch" optimization within git-fetch

If the situation is the following on the remote and L is the common
base between both sides:
T - tag1 S - tag2
/ /
L - A - O - O - B
\ \
origin/master master
and we have decided to fetch "master" to acquire the range L..B we
can also nab tag S at the same time during the first connection,
as we can clearly see from the refs advertised by upload-pack that
S^{} = B and master = B.
Unfortunately we still cannot nab T at the same time as we are not
able to see that T^{} will also be in the range implied by L..B.
Such computations must be performed on the remote side (not yet
supported) or on the client side as post-processing (the current
behavior).
This optimization is an extension of the previous one in that it
helps on projects which tend to publish both a new commit and a
new tag, then lay idle for a while before publishing anything else.
Most followers are able to download both the new commit and the new
tag in one connection, rather than two. git.git tends to follow
such patterns with its roughly once-daily updates from Junio.
A protocol extension and additional server side logic would be
necessary to also ensure T is grabbed on the first connection.

If autofollowing of tags is enabled, we see a new tag on the remote
that we don't have, and we already have the SHA-1 object that the
tag is peeled to, then we can fetch the tag while we are fetching
the other objects on the first connection.
This is a slight optimization for projects that have a habit of
tagging a release commit after most users have already seen and
downloaded that commit object through a prior fetch session. In
such cases the users may still find new objects in branch heads,
but the new tag will now also be part of the first pack transfer
and the subsequent connection to autofollow tags is not required.
Currently git.git does not benefit from this optimization as any
release usually gets a new commit at the same time that it gets a
new release tag, however git-gui.git and many other projects are
in the habit of tagging fairly old commits.
Users who did not already have the tagged commit still require
opening a second connection to autofollow the tag, as we are unable
to determine on the client side if $tag^{} will be sent to the
client during the first transfer or not. Such computation must be
performed on the remote side of the connection and is deferred to
another series of changes.

Back in e3c6f240fd9c5bdeb33f2d47adc859f37935e2df Junio taught
git-fetch to avoid copying objects when we are fetching from
a repository that is already registered as an alternate object
database. In such a case there is no reason to copy any objects
as we can already obtain them through the alternate.
However we need to ensure the objects are all reachable, so we
run `git rev-list --objects $theirs --not --all` to verify this.
If any object is missing or unreadable then we need to fetch/copy
the objects from the remote. When a missing object is detected
the git-rev-list process will exit with a non-zero exit status,
making this condition quite easy to detect.
Although git-fetch is currently a builtin (and so is rev-list)
we cannot invoke the traverse_objects() API at this point in the
transport code. The object walker within traverse_objects() calls
die() as soon as it finds an object it cannot read. If that happens
we want to resume the fetch process by calling do_fetch_pack().
To get around this we spawn git-rev-list into a background process
to prevent a die() from killing the foreground fetch process,
thus allowing the fetch process to resume into do_fetch_pack()
if copying is necessary.
We aren't interested in the output of rev-list (a list of SHA-1
object names that are reachable) or its errors (a "spurious" error
about an object not being found as we need to copy it) so we redirect
both stdout and stderr to /dev/null.
We run this git-rev-list based check before any fetch as we may
already have the necessary objects local from a prior fetch. If we
don't then its very likely the first $theirs object listed on the
command line won't exist locally and git-rev-list will die very
quickly, allowing us to start the network transfer. This test even
on remote URLs may save bandwidth if someone runs `git pull origin`,
sees a merge conflict, resets out, then redoes the same pull just
a short time later. If the remote hasn't changed between the two
pulls and the local repository hasn't had git-gc run in it then
there is probably no need to perform network transfer as all of
the objects are local.
Documentation for the new quickfetch function was suggested and
written by Junio, based on his original comment in git-fetch.sh.
Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Previously git-fetch.sh used `git cat-file -t` to determine if an
object referenced by a tag exists, and if so fetch that tag locally.
This was subtly broken during the port to C based builtin-fetch as
lookup_object() only works to locate an object if it was previously
accessed by the transport. Not all transports will access all
objects in this way, so tags were not always being fetched.
The rsync transport never loads objects into the internal object
table so automated tag following didn't work if rsync was used.
Automated tag following also didn't work on the native transport
if the new tag was behind the common point(s) negotiated between
the two ends of the connection as the tag's referrant would not
be loaded into the internal object table. Further the automated
tag following was broken with the HTTP commit walker if the new
tag's referrant was behind an existing ref, as the walker would
stop before loading the tag's referrant into the object table.
Switching to has_sha1_file() restores the original behavior from
the shell script by checking if the object exists in the ODB,
without relying on the state left behind by a transport.

does not have that branch (e.g. it used to exist, but got

The situation however will be noticed if git-fetch was called by

Aside from reducing the code by 20 lines this refactoring removes
a level of indirection when trying to access the operations of a
given transport "instance", making the code clearer and easier to
follow.
It also has the nice effect of giving us the benefits of C99 style
struct initialization (namely ".fetch = X") without requiring that
level of language support from our compiler. We don't need to worry
about new operation methods being added as they will now be NULL'd
out automatically by the xcalloc() we use to create the new struct
transport we supply to the caller.
This pattern already exists in struct walker, so we already have
a precedent for it in Git. We also don't really need to worry
about any sort of performance decreases that may occur as a result
of filling out 4-8 op pointers when we make a "struct transport".
The extra few CPU cycles this requires over filling in the "struct
transport_ops" is killed by the time it will take Git to actually
*use* one of those functions, as most transport operations are
going over the wire or will be copying object data locally between
two directories.

If a transport doesn't support an option we already are telling
the higher level application (fetch or push) that the option is not
valid by sending back a >0 return value from transport_set_option
so there's not a strong motivation to have the function perform the
output itself. Instead we should let the higher level application
do the output if it is necessary. This avoids always telling the
user that depth isn't supported on HTTP urls even when they did
not pass a --depth option to git-fetch.
If the user passes an option and the option value is invalid we now
properly die in git-fetch instead of just spitting out a message
and running anyway. This mimics prior behavior better where
incorrect/malformed options are not accepted by the process.

merge = refs/heads/master
as remote "." did not have a "remote...fetch" configuration entry to
offer up refs/heads/master as a possible candidate available to be
fetched and merged. In shell script git-fetch and prior to the above
mentioned commit this was hardcoded for a url of "." to be the set of
local branches.
Chasing down this bug led me to the conclusion that our prior behavior
with regards to branch.$name.merge was incorrect. In the shell script
based git-fetch implementation we only fetched and merged a branch if
it appeared both in branch.$name.merge *and* in remote.$r.fetch, where
$r = branch.$name.remote. In other words in the following config file:
[remote "origin"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
fetch = refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
[branch "pu"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/pu
Attempting to run `git pull` while on branch "pu" would always give
the user "Already up-to-date" as git-fetch did not fetch pu and thus
did not mark it for merge in .git/FETCH_HEAD. The configured merge
would always be ignored and the user would be left scratching her
confused head wondering why merge did not work on "pu" but worked
fine on "master".
If we are using the "default fetch" specification for the current
branch and the current branch has a branch.$name.merge configured
we now union it with the list of refs in remote.$r.fetch. This
way the above configuration does what the user expects it to do,
which is to fetch only "master" by default but when on "pu" to
fetch both "master" and "pu".
This uncovered some breakage in the test suite where old-style Cogito
branches (.git/branches/$r) did not fetch the branches listed in
.git/config for merging and thus did not actually merge them if the
user tried to use `git pull` on that branch. Junio and I discussed
it on list and felt that the union approach here makes more sense to
DWIM for the end-user than silently ignoring their configured request
so the test vectors for t5515 have been updated to include for-merge
lines in .git/FETCH_HEAD where they have been configured for-merge
in .git/config.
Since we are now performing a union of the fetch specification and
the merge specification and we cannot allow a branch to be listed
twice (otherwise it comes out twice in .git/FETCH_HEAD) we need to
perform a double loop here over all of the branch.$name.merge lines
and try to set their merge flag if we have already schedule that
branch for fetching by remote.$r.fetch. If no match is found then
we must add new specifications to fetch the branch but not store it
as no local tracking branch has been designated.

Older git-fetch.sh doesn't print "ref: X" when invoked as
`git fetch $url X" so we shouldn't do that now in the new
builtin version.
