Currently stash shells out to reflog in order to delete refs. In an
effort to reduce how much we shell out to a subprocess, libify the
functionality that stash needs into reflog.c.
Add a reflog_delete function that is pretty much the logic in the while
loop in builtin/reflog.c cmd_reflog_delete(). This is a function that
builtin/reflog.c and builtin/stash.c can both call.
Also move functions needed by reflog_delete and export them.

Move the handling of the "verbose" flag entirely out of
"refs/files-backend.c" and into "builtin/reflog.c". This allows the
backend to stop knowing about the EXPIRE_REFLOGS_VERBOSE flag.
The expire_reflog_ent() function shouldn't need to deal with the
implementation detail of whether or not we're emitting verbose output,
by doing this the --verbose output becomes backend-agnostic, so
reftable will get the same output.
I think the output is rather bad currently, and should e.g. be
implemented with some better future mode of progress.[ch], but that's
a topic for another improvement.

In the initial implementation of "git reflog" in 4264dc15e1 (git
reflog expire, 2006-12-19) we had this
lookup_commit_reference_gently().
I don't think we've ever found tags that we need to recursively
dereference in reflogs, so this should at least be changed to a
"lookup commit" as I'm doing here, although I can't think of a way
where it mattered in practice.
I also think we'd probably like to just die here if we have a NULL
object, but as this code needs to handle potentially broken
repositories let's just show an "error" but continue, the non-quiet
lookup_commit() will do for us. None of our tests cover the case where
"commit" is NULL after this lookup.

This makes it clear that the "cb" itself is the same memzero'd

The "struct expire_reflog_policy_cb" we pass to reflog_expire() will
have the members that aren't "cmd" modified by the callbacks, but
before we invoke them everything except "cmd" is zero'd out.
This included the "tip_commit", "mark_list" and "tips". It might have

During reflog expiry, the cmd_reflog_expire() function first iterates
over all reflogs in logs/*, and then one-by-one acquires the lock for
each one and expires it. This behavior has been with us since this
command was implemented in 4264dc15e1 ("git reflog expire",
2006-12-19).
Change this to stop calling lock_ref_oid_basic() with the OID we saw
when we looped over the logs, instead have it pass the OID it managed
to lock.
This mostly mitigates a race condition where e.g. "git gc" will fail
in a concurrently updated repository because the branch moved since
"git reflog expire --all" was started. I.e. with:
error: cannot lock ref '<refname>': ref '<refname>' is at <OID-A> but expected <OID-B>
This behavior of passing in an "oid" was needed for an edge-case that
I've untangled in this and preceding commits though, namely that we
needed this OID because we'd:
1. Lookup the reflog name/OID via dwim_log()
2. With that OID, lock the reflog
3. Later in builtin/reflog.c we use the OID we looked as input to
lookup_commit_reference_gently(), assured that it's equal to the
OID we got from dwim_log().
We can be sure that this change is safe to make because between
dwim_log (step #1) and lock_ref_oid_basic (step #2) there was no other
logic relevant to the OID or expiry run in the cmd_reflog_expire()
caller.
We can thus treat that code as a black box, before and after this
change it would get an OID that's been locked, the only difference is
that now we mostly won't be failing to get the lock due to the TOCTOU
race[0]. That failure was purely an implementation detail in how the
"current OID" was looked up, it was divorced from the locking
mechanism.
What do we mean with "mostly"? It mostly mitigates it because we'll
still run into cases where the ref is locked and being updated as we
want to expire it, and other git processes wanting to update the refs
will in turn race with us as we expire the reflog.
That remaining race can in turn be mitigated with the
core.filesRefLockTimeout setting, see 4ff0f01cb7 ("refs: retry
acquiring reference locks for 100ms", 2017-08-21). In practice if that
value is high enough we'll probably never have ref updates or reflog
expiry failing, since the clients involved will retry for far longer
than the time any of those operations could take.
See [1] for an initial report of how this impacted "git gc" and a
large discussion about this change in early 2019. In particular patch
looked good to Michael Haggerty, see his[2]. That message seems to not
have made it to the ML archive, its content is quoted in full in my
[3].
I'm leaving behind now-unused code the refs API etc. that takes the
now-NULL "unused_oid" argument, and other code that can be simplified now
that we never have on OID in that context, that'll be cleaned up in
subsequent commits, but for now let's narrowly focus on fixing the
"git gc" issue. As the modified assert() shows we always pass a NULL
oid to reflog_expire() now.
Unfortunately this sort of probabilistic contention is hard to turn
into a test. I've tested this by running the following three subshells
in concurrent terminals:
(
rm -rf /tmp/git &&
git init /tmp/git &&
while true
do
head -c 10 /dev/urandom | hexdump >/tmp/git/out &&
git -C /tmp/git add out &&
git -C /tmp/git commit -m"out"
done
)
(
rm -rf /tmp/git-clone &&
git clone file:///tmp/git /tmp/git-clone &&
while git -C /tmp/git-clone pull
do
date
done
)
(
while git -C /tmp/git-clone reflog expire --all
do
date
done
)
Before this change the "reflog expire" would fail really quickly with
the "but expected" error noted above.
After this change both the "pull" and "reflog expire" will run for a
while, but eventually fail because I get unlucky with
core.filesRefLockTimeout (the "reflog expire" is in a really tight
loop). As noted above that can in turn be mitigated with higher values
of core.filesRefLockTimeout than the 100ms default.
As noted in the commentary added in the preceding commit there's also
the case of branches being racily deleted, that can be tested by
adding this to the above:
(
while git -C /tmp/git-clone branch topic master &&
git -C /tmp/git-clone branch -D topic
do
date
done
)
With core.filesRefLockTimeout set to 10 seconds (it can probably be a
lot lower) I managed to run all four of these concurrently for about
an hour, and accumulated ~125k commits, auto-gc's and all, and didn't
have a single failure. The loops visibly stall while waiting for the
lock, but that's expected and desired behavior.

Whenever a user runs `git reflog expire --stale-fix`, the most likely
reason is that their repository is at least _somewhat_ corrupt. Which
means that it is more than just possible that some objects are missing.
If that is the case, that can currently let the command abort through
the phase where it tries to mark all reachable objects.
Instead of adding insult to injury, let's be gentle and continue as best
as we can in such a scenario, simply by ignoring the missing objects and

We return the length to a subset of a string using an "int *"
out-parameter. This is fine most of the time, as we'd expect config keys
to be relatively short, but it could behave oddly if we had a gigantic
config key. A more appropriate type is size_t.
Let's switch over, which lets our callers use size_t as appropriate
(they are bound by our type because they must pass the out-parameter as
a pointer). This is mostly just a cleanup to make it clear this code
handles long strings correctly. In practice, our config parser already
chokes on long key names (because of a similar int/size_t mixup!).
When doing an int/size_t conversion, we have to be careful that nobody
was trying to assign a negative value to the variable. I manually
confirmed that for each case here. They tend to just feed the result to
xmemdupz() or similar; in a few cases I adjusted the parameter types for
helper functions to make sure the size_t is preserved.

but with this change, we say
'nonsense.timestamp' is not a valid timestamp

When parsing a tree, we read the object ID directly out of the tree
buffer. This is normally fine, but such an object ID cannot be used with
oidcpy, which copies GIT_MAX_RAWSZ bytes, because if we are using SHA-1,
there may not be that many bytes to copy.
Instead, store the object ID in a separate struct member. Since we can
no longer efficiently compute the path length, store that information as
well in struct name_entry. Ensure we only copy the object ID into the
new buffer if the path length is nonzero, as some callers will pass us
an empty path with no object ID following it, and we will not want to
read past the end of the buffer.

In a couple of places, we pop objects off an object array `foo` by
decreasing `foo.nr`. We access `foo.nr` in many places, but most if not
all other times we do so read-only, e.g., as we iterate over the array.
But when we change `foo.nr` behind the array's back, it feels a bit
nasty and looks like it might leak memory.
Leaks happen if the popped element has an allocated `name` or `path`.
At the moment, that is not the case. Still, 1) the object array might
gain more fields that want to be freed, 2) a code path where we pop
might start using names or paths, 3) one of these code paths might be
copied to somewhere where we do, and 4) using a dedicated function for
popping is conceptually cleaner.
Introduce and use `object_array_pop()` instead. Release memory in the
new function. Document that popping an object leaves the associated
elements in limbo.
The converted places were identified by grepping for "\.nr\>" and
looking for "--".
Make the new function return NULL on an empty array. This is consistent
with `pop_commit()` and allows the following:
while ((o = object_array_pop(&foo)) != NULL) {
// do something
}
But as noted above, we don't need to go out of our way to avoid reading
`foo.nr`. This is probably more readable:
while (foo.nr) {
... o = object_array_pop(&foo);
// do something
}
The name of `object_array_pop()` does not quite align with
`add_object_array()`. That is unfortunate. On the other hand, it matches
`object_array_clear()`. Arguably it's `add_...` that is the odd one out,
since it reads like it's used to "add" an "object array". For that
reason, side with `object_array_clear()`.

Instead of freeing `foo.objects` for an object array `foo` (sometimes
conditionally), call `object_array_clear(&foo)`. This means we don't
poke as much into the implementation, which is already a good thing, but
also that we release the individual entries as well, thereby fixing at
least one memory-leak (in diff-lib.c).
If someone is holding on to a pointer to an element's `name` or `path`,
that is now a dangling pointer, i.e., we'd be turning an unpleasant
situation into an outright bug. To the best of my understanding no such
long-term pointers are being taken.
The way we handle `study` in builting/reflog.c still looks like it might
leak. That will be addressed in the next commit.

Fix configuration codepath to pay proper attention to commondir
that is used in multi-worktree situation, and isolate config API
into its own header file.
* bw/config-h:
config: don't implicitly use gitdir or commondir
config: respect commondir
setup: teach discover_git_directory to respect the commondir
config: don't include config.h by default
config: remove git_config_iter
config: create config.h
