After a client has sent us the complete pack, we may spend
some time processing the data and running hooks. If the
client asked us to be quiet, receive-pack won't send any
progress data during the index-pack or connectivity-check
steps. And hooks may or may not produce their own progress
output. In these cases, the network connection is totally
silent from both ends.
Git itself doesn't care about this (it will wait forever),
but other parts of the system (e.g., firewalls,
load-balancers, etc) might hang up the connection. So we'd
like to send some sort of keepalive to let the network and
the client side know that we're still alive and processing.
We can use the same trick we did in 05e9515 (upload-pack:
send keepalive packets during pack computation, 2013-09-08).
Namely, we will send an empty sideband data packet every `N`
seconds that we do not relay any stderr data over the
sideband channel. As with 05e9515, this means that we won't
bother sending keepalives when there's actual progress data,
but will kick in when it has been disabled (or if there is a
lull in the progress data).
The concept is simple, but the details are subtle enough
that they need discussing here.
Before the client sends us the pack, we don't want to do any
keepalives. We'll have sent our ref advertisement, and we're
waiting for them to send us the pack (and tell us that they
support sidebands at all).
While we're receiving the pack from the client (or waiting
for it to start), there's no need for keepalives; it's up to
them to keep the connection active by sending data.
Moreover, it would be wrong for us to do so. When we are the
server in the smart-http protocol, we must treat our
connection as half-duplex. So any keepalives we send while
receiving the pack would potentially be buffered by the
webserver. Not only does this make them useless (since they
would not be delivered in a timely manner), but it could
actually cause a deadlock if we fill up the buffer with
keepalives. (It wouldn't be wrong to send keepalives in this
phase for a full-duplex connection like ssh; it's simply
pointless, as it is the client's responsibility to speak).
As soon as we've gotten all of the pack data, then the
client is waiting for us to speak, and we should start
keepalives immediately. From here until the end of the
connection, we send one any time we are not otherwise
sending data.
But there's a catch. Receive-pack doesn't know the moment
we've gotten all the data. It passes the descriptor to
index-pack, who reads all of the data, and then starts
resolving the deltas. We have to communicate that back.
To make this work, we instruct the sideband muxer to enable
keepalives in three phases:
1. In the beginning, not at all.
2. While reading from index-pack, wait for a signal
indicating end-of-input, and then start them.
3. Afterwards, always.
The signal from index-pack in phase 2 has to come over the
stderr channel which the muxer is reading. We can't use an
extra pipe because the portable run-command interface only
gives us stderr and stdout.
Stdout is already used to pass the .keep filename back to
receive-pack. We could also send a signal there, but then we
would find out about it in the main thread. And the
keepalive needs to be done by the async muxer thread (since
it's the one writing sideband data back to the client). And
we can't reliably signal the async thread from the main
thread, because the async code sometimes uses threads and
sometimes uses forked processes.
Therefore the signal must come over the stderr channel,
where it may be interspersed with other random
human-readable messages from index-pack. This patch makes
the signal a single NUL byte. This is easy to parse, should
not appear in any normal stderr output, and we don't have to
worry about any timing issues (like seeing half the signal
bytes in one read(), and half in a subsequent one).
This is a bit ugly, but it's simple to code and should work
reliably.
Another option would be to stop using an async thread for
muxing entirely, and just poll() both stderr and stdout of
index-pack from the main thread. This would work for
index-pack (because we aren't doing anything useful in the
main thread while it runs anyway). But it would make the
connectivity check and the hook muxers much more
complicated, as they need to simultaneously feed the
sub-programs while reading their stderr.
The index-pack phase is the only one that needs this
signaling, so it could simply behave differently than the
other two. That would mean having two separate
implementations of copy_to_sideband (and the keepalive
code), though. And it still doesn't get rid of the
signaling; it just means we can write a nicer message like
"END_OF_INPUT" or something on stdout, since we don't have
to worry about separating it from the stderr cruft.
One final note: this signaling trick is only done with
index-pack, not with unpack-objects. There's no point in
doing it for the latter, because by definition it only kicks
in for a small number of objects, where keepalives are not
as useful (and this conveniently lets us avoid duplicating
the implementation).

- exclude these long lines smarter

When upload-pack serves a client request, it turns to
pack-objects to do the heavy lifting of creating a
packfile. There's no easy way to intercept the call to
pack-objects, but there are a few good reasons to want to do
so:
1. If you're debugging a client or server issue with
fetching, you may want to store a copy of the generated
packfile.
2. If you're gathering data from real-world fetches for
performance analysis or debugging, storing a copy of
the arguments and stdin lets you replay the pack
generation at your leisure.
3. You may want to insert a caching layer around
pack-objects; it is the most CPU- and memory-intensive
part of serving a fetch, and its output is a pure
function[1] of its input, making it an ideal place to
consolidate identical requests.
This patch adds a simple "hook" interface to intercept calls
to pack-objects. The new test demonstrates how it can be
used for debugging (using it for caching is a
straightforward extension; the tricky part is writing the
actual caching layer).
This hook is unlike the normal hook scripts found in the
"hooks/" directory of a repository. Because we promise that
upload-pack is safe to run in an untrusted repository, we
cannot execute arbitrary code or commands found in the
repository (neither in hooks/, nor in the config). So
instead, this hook is triggered from a config variable that
is explicitly ignored in the per-repo config.
The config variable holds the actual shell command to run as
the hook. Another approach would be to simply treat it as a
boolean: "should I respect the upload-pack hooks in this
repo?", and then run the script from "hooks/" as we usually
do. However, that isn't as flexible; there's no way to run a
hook approved by the site administrator (e.g., in
"/etc/gitconfig") on a repository whose contents are not
trusted. The approach taken by this patch is more
fine-grained, if a little less conventional for git hooks
(it does behave similar to other configured commands like
diff.external, etc).
[1] Pack-objects isn't _actually_ a pure function. Its
output depends on the exact packing of the object
database, and if multi-threading is used for delta
compression, can even differ racily. But for the
purposes of caching, that's OK; of the many possible
outputs for a given input, it is sufficient only that we
output one of them.

With many incremental imports, small packs become highly
inefficient due to the need to readdir scan and load many
indices to locate even a single object. Frequent repacking and
consolidation may be prohibitively expensive in terms of disk
I/O, especially in large repositories where the initial packs
were aggressively optimized and marked with .keep files.
In those cases, users may be better served with loose objects
and relying on "git gc --auto".

On Unix (and Linux), files and directories whose names start with a dot
are usually not shown by default. This convention is used by Git: the
.git/ directory should be left alone by regular users, and only accessed
through Git itself.
On Windows, no such convention exists. Instead, there is an explicit flag
to mark files or directories as hidden.
In the early days, Git for Windows did not mark the .git/ directory (or
for that matter, any file or directory whose name starts with a dot)
hidden. This lead to quite a bit of confusion, and even loss of data.
Consequently, Git for Windows introduced the core.hideDotFiles setting,
with three possible values: true, false, and dotGitOnly, defaulting to
marking only the .git/ directory as hidden.
The rationale: users do not need to access .git/ directly, and indeed (as
was demonstrated) should not really see that directory, either. However,
not all dot files should be hidden by default, as e.g. Eclipse does not
show them (and the user would therefore be unable to see, say, a
.gitattributes file).
In over five years since the last attempt to bring this patch into core
Git, a slightly buggy version of this patch has served Git for Windows'
users well: no single report indicated problems with the hidden .git/
directory, and the stream of problems caused by the previously non-hidden
.git/ directory simply stopped. The bugs have been fixed during the
process of getting this patch upstream.
Note that there is a funny quirk we have to pay attention to when
creating hidden files: we use Win32's _wopen() function which
transmogrifies its arguments and hands off to Win32's CreateFile()
function. That latter function errors out with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (the
equivalent of EACCES) when the equivalent of the O_CREAT flag was passed
and the file attributes (including the hidden flag) do not match an
existing file's. And _wopen() accepts no parameter that would be
transmogrified into said hidden flag. Therefore, we simply try again
without O_CREAT.
A slightly different method is required for our fopen()/freopen()
function as we cannot even *remove* the implicit O_CREAT flag.
Therefore, we briefly mark existing files as unhidden when opening them
via fopen()/freopen().
The ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error can also be triggered by opening a file
that is marked as a system file (which is unlikely to be tracked in
Git), and by trying to create a file that has *just* been deleted and is
awaiting the last open handles to be released (which would be handled
better by the "Try again?" logic, a story for a different patch series,
though). In both cases, it does not matter much if we try again without
the O_CREAT flag, read: it does not hurt, either.
For details how ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED can be triggered, see
