Add a check to verify if the remote-tracking ref of the local branch
is reachable from one of its "reflog" entries.
The check iterates through the local ref's reflog to see if there
is an entry for the remote-tracking ref and collecting any commits
that are seen, into a list; the iteration stops if an entry in the
reflog matches the remote ref or if the entry timestamp is older
the latest entry of the remote ref's "reflog". If there wasn't an
entry found for the remote ref, "in_merge_bases_many()" is called
to check if it is reachable from the list of collected commits.
When a local branch that is based on a remote ref, has been rewound
and is to be force pushed on the remote, "--force-if-includes" runs
a check that ensures any updates to the remote-tracking ref that may
have happened (by push from another repository) in-between the time
of the last update to the local branch (via "git-pull", for instance)
and right before the time of push, have been integrated locally
before allowing a forced update.
If the new option is passed without specifying "--force-with-lease",
or specified along with "--force-with-lease=<refname>:<expect>" it
is a "no-op".

The new introduced "proc-receive" hook may handle a command for a
pseudo-reference with a zero-old as its old-oid, while the hook may
create or update a reference with different name, different new-oid,
and different old-oid (the reference may exist already with a non-zero
old-oid). Current "report-status" protocol cannot report the status for
such reference rewrite.
Add new capability "report-status-v2" and new report protocol which is
not backward compatible for report of git-push.
If a user pushes to a pseudo-reference "refs/for/master/topic", and
"receive-pack" creates two new references "refs/changes/23/123/1" and
"refs/changes/24/124/1", for client without the knowledge of
"report-status-v2", "receive-pack" will only send "ok/ng" directives in
the report, such as:
ok ref/for/master/topic
But for client which has the knowledge of "report-status-v2",
"receive-pack" will use "option" directives to report more attributes
for the reference given by the above "ok/ng" directive.
ok refs/for/master/topic
option refname refs/changes/23/123/1
option new-oid <new-oid>
ok refs/for/master/topic

Whenever a fetch results in a packfile being downloaded, a .keep file is
generated, so that the packfile can be preserved (from, say, a running
"git repack") until refs are written referring to the contents of the
packfile.
In a subsequent patch, a successful fetch using protocol v2 may result
in more than one .keep file being generated. Therefore, teach
fetch_pack() and the transport mechanism to support multiple .keep
files.
Implementation notes:
- builtin/fetch-pack.c normally does not generate .keep files, and thus
is unaffected by this or future changes. However, it has an
undocumented "--lock-pack" feature, used by remote-curl.c when
implementing the "fetch" remote helper command. In keeping with the
remote helper protocol, only one "lock" line will ever be written;
the rest will result in warnings to stderr. However, in practice,
warnings will never be written because the remote-curl.c "fetch" is
only used for protocol v0/v1 (which will not generate multiple .keep
files). (Protocol v2 uses the "stateless-connect" command, not the
"fetch" command.)
- connected.c has an optimization in that connectivity checks on a ref
need not be done if the target object is in a pack known to be
self-contained and connected. If there are multiple packfiles, this
optimization can no longer be done.

Currently, remote-curl acts as a proxy and blindly forwards packets
between an HTTP server and fetch-pack. In the case of a stateless RPC
connection where the connection is terminated before the transaction is
complete, remote-curl will blindly forward the packets before waiting on
more input from fetch-pack. Meanwhile, fetch-pack will read the
transaction and continue reading, expecting more input to continue the
transaction. This results in a deadlock between the two processes.
This can be seen in the following command which does not terminate:
$ git -c protocol.version=2 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012
Cloning into 'git'...
whereas the v1 version does terminate as expected:
$ git -c protocol.version=1 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012
Cloning into 'git'...
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
Instead of blindly forwarding packets, make remote-curl insert a
response end packet after proxying the responses from the remote server
when using stateless_connect(). On the RPC client side, ensure that each
response ends as described.
A separate control packet is chosen because we need to be able to
differentiate between what the remote server sends and remote-curl's
control packets. By ensuring in the remote-curl code that a server
cannot send response end packets, we prevent a malicious server from
being able to perform a denial of service attack in which they spoof a
response end packet and cause the described deadlock to happen.

"git push --atomic" used to show failures for refs that weren't

* jx/atomic-push:
transport-helper: new method reject_atomic_push()
transport-helper: mark failure for atomic push
send-pack: mark failure of atomic push properly
t5543: never report what we do not push
send-pack: fix inconsistent porcelain output
When pushing with SSH or other smart protocol, references are validated
by function `check_to_send_update()` before they are sent in commands
to `send_pack()` of "receve-pack". For atomic push, if a reference is
rejected after the validation, only references pushed by user should be
marked as failure, instead of report failure on all remote references.
Commit v2.22.0-1-g3bca1e7f9f (transport-helper: enforce atomic in
push_refs_with_push, 2019-07-11) wanted to fix report issue of HTTP
protocol, but marked all remote references failure for atomic push.
In order to fix the issue of status report for SSH or other built-in
smart protocol, revert part of that commit and add additional status
for function `atomic_push_failure()`. The additional status for it
except the "REF_STATUS_EXPECTING_REPORT" status are:
- REF_STATUS_NONE : Not marked as "REF_STATUS_EXPECTING_REPORT" yet.
- REF_STATUS_OK : Assume OK for dryrun or status_report is disabled.
This fix won't resolve the issue of status report in transport-helper

it in additional commit.

The porcelain output of a failed `git-push` command is inconsistent for
different protocols. For example, the following `git-push` command
may fail due to the failure of the `pre-receive` hook.
git push --porcelain origin HEAD:refs/heads/master
For SSH protocol, the porcelain output does not end with a "Done"
message:
To <URL/of/upstream.git>
! HEAD:refs/heads/master [remote rejected] (pre-receive hook declined)
While for HTTP protocol, the porcelain output does end with a "Done"
message:
To <URL/of/upstream.git>
! HEAD:refs/heads/master [remote rejected] (pre-receive hook declined)
Done
The following code at the end of function `send_pack()` indicates that
`send_pack()` should not return an error if some references are rejected
in porcelain mode.
int send_pack(...)
... ...
if (args->porcelain)
return 0;
for (ref = remote_refs; ref; ref = ref->next) {
switch (ref->status) {
case REF_STATUS_NONE:
case REF_STATUS_UPTODATE:
case REF_STATUS_OK:
break;
default:
return -1;
}
}
return 0;
}
So if atomic push failed, must check the porcelain mode before return
an error. And `receive_status()` should not return an error for a
failed updated reference, because `send_pack()` will check them instead.

We renamed the actual data structure in 910650d2f8 (Rename sha1_array to

being slightly confusing, it makes it more annoying to grep for leftover
occurrences of "sha1" in various files, because the header is included
in so many places.
Let's complete the transition by renaming the source and header files
(and fixing up a few comment references).
I kept the "-" in the name, as that seems to be our style; cf.
fc1395f4a4 (sha1_file.c: rename to use dash in file name, 2018-04-10).
We also have oidmap.h and oidset.h without any punctuation, but those
are "struct oidmap" and "struct oidset" in the code. We _could_ make
this "oidarray" to match, but somehow it looks uglier to me because of
the length of "array" (plus it would be a very invasive patch for little

Reduce unnecessary round-trip when running "ls-remote" over the
stateless RPC mechanism.
* jk/no-flush-upon-disconnecting-slrpc-transport:
transport: don't flush when disconnecting stateless-rpc helper
Since ba227857d2 (Reduce the number of connects when fetching,
2008-02-04), when we disconnect a git transport, we send a final flush
packet. This cleanly tells the other side that we're done, and avoids
the other side complaining "the remote end hung up unexpectedly" (though
we'd only see that for transports that pass along the server stderr,
like ssh or local-host).
But when we've initiated a v2 stateless-connect session over a transport
helper, there's no point in sending this flush packet. Each operation
we've performed is self-contained, and the other side is fine with us
hanging up between operations.
But much worse, by sending the flush packet we may cause the helper to
issue an entirely new request _just_ to send the flush packet. So we can
incur an extra network request just to say "by the way, we have nothing
more to send".
Let's drop this extra flush packet. As the test shows, this reduces the
number of POSTs required for a v2 ls-remote over http from 2 to 1.

Teach transport-helper how to notice if skipping a ref during push would
violate atomicity on the client side. We notice that a ref would be
rejected, and choose not to send it, but don't notice that if the client
has asked for --atomic we are violating atomicity if all the other
pushes we are sending would succeed. Asking the server end to uphold
atomicity wouldn't work here as the server doesn't have any idea that we
tried to update a ref that's broken.

Allow combining of multiple filters by simply repeating the --filter

somewhat awkwardly (e.g. --filter=combine:FOO+BAR), including
URL-encoding the individual filters.
To make this work, in the --filter flag parsing callback, rather than
error out when we detect that the filter_options struct is already
populated, we modify it in-place to contain the added sub-filter. The
existing sub-filter becomes the lhs of the combined filter, and the
next sub-filter becomes the rhs. We also have to URL-encode the LHS and
RHS sub-filters.
We can simplify the operation if the LHS is already a combine: filter.
In that case, we just append the URL-encoded RHS sub-filter to the LHS
spec to get the new spec.

In the Git pack protocol definition, an error packet may appear only in
a certain context. However, servers can face a runtime error (e.g. I/O
error) at an arbitrary timing. This patch changes the protocol to allow
an error packet to be sent instead of any packet.
Without this protocol spec change, when a server cannot process a
request, there's no way to tell that to a client. Since the server
cannot produce a valid response, it would be forced to cut a connection
without telling why. With this protocol spec change, the server can be
more gentle in this situation. An old client may see these error packets
as an unexpected packet, but this is not worse than having an unexpected
EOF.
Following this protocol spec change, the error packet handling code is
moved to pkt-line.c. Implementation wise, this implementation uses
pkt-line to communicate with a subprocess. Since this is not a part of
Git protocol, it's possible that a packet that is not supposed to be an
error packet is mistakenly parsed as an error packet. This error packet
handling is enabled only for the Git pack protocol parsing code
considering this.

When pushing into a repository that borrows its objects from an
alternate object store, "git receive-pack" that responds to the
push request on the other side lists the tips of refs in the
alternate to reduce the amount of objects transferred. This
sometimes is detrimental when the number of refs in the alternate
is absurdly large, in which case the bandwidth saved in potentially
fewer objects transferred is wasted in excessively large ref
advertisement. The alternate refs that are advertised are now

name can be done without first seeing the ref advertisements. The

Use parse_oid_hex to compute a pointer instead of using GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ.
This simplifies the code and makes it independent of the hash length.

The recently-introduced "core.alternateRefsCommand" allows callers to
specify with high flexibility the tips that they wish to advertise from
alternates. This flexibility comes at the cost of some inconvenience
when the caller only wishes to limit the advertisement to one or more
prefixes.
For example, to advertise only tags, a caller using
'core.alternateRefsCommand' would have to do:
$ git config core.alternateRefsCommand ' \
f() { git -C "$1" for-each-ref \
refs/tags --format="%(objectname)" }; f "$@"'
The above is cumbersome to write, so let's introduce a
"core.alternateRefsPrefixes" to address this common case. Instead, the
caller can run:
$ git config core.alternateRefsPrefixes 'refs/tags'
Which will behave identically to the longer example using
"core.alternateRefsCommand".
Since the value of "core.alternateRefsPrefixes" is appended to 'git
for-each-ref' and then executed, include a "--" before taking the
configured value to avoid misinterpreting arguments as flags to 'git
for-each-ref'.
In the case that the caller wishes to specify multiple prefixes, they
may separate them by whitespace. If "core.alternateRefsCommand" is set,
it will take precedence over "core.alternateRefsPrefixes".
