fetch: skip formatting updated refs with `--quiet`
When fetching, Git will by default print a list of all updated refs in a
nicely formatted table. In order to come up with this table, Git needs
to iterate refs twice: first to determine the maximum column width, and
a second time to actually format these changed refs.
While this table will not be printed in case the user passes `--quiet`,
we still go out of our way and do all these steps. In fact, we even do
more work compared to not passing `--quiet`: without the flag, we will
skip all references in the column width computation which have not been
updated, but if it is set we will now compute widths for all refs.
Fix this issue by completely skipping both preparation of the format and
formatting data for display in case the user passes `--quiet`, improving
performance especially with many refs. The following benchmark shows a
nice speedup for a quiet mirror-fetch in a repository with 2.3M refs:
Benchmark #1: HEAD~: git-fetch
Time (mean ± σ): 26.929 s ± 0.145 s [User: 24.194 s, System: 4.656 s]
Range (min … max): 26.692 s … 27.068 s 5 runs
Benchmark #2: HEAD: git-fetch
Time (mean ± σ): 25.189 s ± 0.094 s [User: 22.556 s, System: 4.606 s]
Range (min … max): 25.070 s … 25.314 s 5 runs
Summary
'HEAD: git-fetch' ran
1.07 ± 0.01 times faster than 'HEAD~: git-fetch'
While at it, this patch also fixes `adjust_refcol_width()` such that it
skips unchanged refs in case the user passed `--quiet`, where verbosity
will be negative. While this function won't be called anymore if so,
this brings the comment in line with actual code. Furthermore, needless
`verbosity >= 0` checks are now removed in `store_updated_refs()`: we
never print to the `note` buffer anymore in case `verbosity < 0`, so we
won't end up in that code block anyway.

"git push" learns to discover common ancestor with the receiving
end over protocol v2.
* jt/push-negotiation:
send-pack: support push negotiation
fetch: teach independent negotiation (no packfile)
fetch-pack: refactor command and capability write
fetch-pack: refactor add_haves()
fetch-pack: refactor process_acks()
Currently, the packfile negotiation step within a Git fetch cannot be
done independent of sending the packfile, even though there is at least
one application wherein this is useful. Therefore, make it possible for
this negotiation step to be done independently. A subsequent commit will
use this for one such application - push negotiation.
This feature is for protocol v2 only. (An implementation for protocol v0
would require a separate implementation in the fetch, transport, and
transport helper code.)
In the protocol, the main hindrance towards independent negotiation is
that the server can unilaterally decide to send the packfile. This is
solved by a "wait-for-done" argument: the server will then wait for the
client to say "done". In practice, the client will never say it; instead
it will cease requests once it is satisfied.
In the client, the main change lies in the transport and transport
helper code. fetch_refs_via_pack() performs everything needed - protocol
version and capability checks, and the negotiation itself.
There are 2 code paths that do not go through fetch_refs_via_pack() that
needed to be individually excluded: the bundle transport (excluded
through requiring smart_options, which the bundle transport doesn't
support) and transport helpers that do not support takeover. If or when
we support independent negotiation for protocol v0, we will need to
modify these 2 code paths to support it. But for now, report failure if
independent negotiation is requested in these cases.

The --prefetch option will be used by the 'prefetch' maintenance task
instead of sending refspecs explicitly across the command-line. The
intention is to modify the refspec to place all results in
refs/prefetch/ instead of anywhere else.
Create helper method filter_prefetch_refspec() to modify a given refspec
to fit the rules expected of the prefetch task:
* Negative refspecs are preserved.
* Refspecs without a destination are removed.
* Refspecs whose source starts with "refs/tags/" are removed.
* Other refspecs are placed within "refs/prefetch/".
Finally, we add the 'force' option to ensure that prefetch refs are
replaced as necessary.
There are some interesting cases that are worth testing.
An earlier version of this change dropped the "i--" from the loop that
deletes a refspec item and shifts the remaining entries down. This
allowed some refspecs to not be modified. The subtle part about the
first --prefetch test is that the "refs/tags/*" refspec appears directly
before the "refs/heads/bogus/*" refspec. Without that "i--", this
ordering would remove the "refs/tags/*" refspec and leave the last one
unmodified, placing the result in "refs/heads/*".
It is possible to have an empty refspec. This is typically the case for
remotes other than the origin, where users want to fetch a specific tag
or branch. To correctly test this case, we need to further remove the
upstream remote for the local branch. Thus, we are testing a refspec
that will be deleted, leaving nothing to fetch.

When executing a fetch, then git will currently allocate one reference
transaction per reference update and directly commit it. This means that
fetches are non-atomic: even if some of the reference updates fail,
others may still succeed and modify local references.
This is fine in many scenarios, but this strategy has its downsides.
- The view of remote references may be inconsistent and may show a
bastardized state of the remote repository.
- Batching together updates may improve performance in certain
scenarios. While the impact probably isn't as pronounced with loose
references, the upcoming reftable backend may benefit as it needs to
write less files in case the update is batched.
- The reference-update hook is currently being executed twice per
updated reference. While this doesn't matter when there is no such
hook, we have seen severe performance regressions when doing a
git-fetch(1) with reference-transaction hook when the remote
repository has hundreds of thousands of references.
Similar to `git push --atomic`, this commit thus introduces atomic
fetches. Instead of allocating one reference transaction per updated
reference, it causes us to only allocate a single transaction and commit
it as soon as all updates were received. If locking of any reference
fails, then we abort the complete transaction and don't update any
reference, which gives us an all-or-nothing fetch.
Note that this may not completely fix the first of above downsides, as
the consistent view also depends on the server-side. If the server
doesn't have a consistent view of its own references during the
reference negotiation phase, then the client would get the same
inconsistent view the server has. This is a separate problem though and,
if it actually exists, can be fixed at a later point.
This commit also changes the way we write FETCH_HEAD in case `--atomic`
is passed. Instead of writing changes as we go, we need to accumulate
all changes first and only commit them at the end when we know that all
reference updates succeeded. Ideally, we'd just do so via a temporary
file so that we don't need to carry all updates in-memory. This isn't
trivially doable though considering the `--append` mode, where we do not
truncate the file but simply append to it. And given that we support
concurrent processes appending to FETCH_HEAD at the same time without
any loss of data, seeding the temporary file with current contents of
FETCH_HEAD initially and then doing a rename wouldn't work either. So
this commit implements the simple strategy of buffering all changes and
appending them to the file on commit.

The handling of ref updates is completely handled by `s_update_ref()`,
which will manage the complete lifecycle of the reference transaction.
This is fine right now given that git-fetch(1) does not support atomic
fetches, so each reference gets its own transaction. It is quite
inflexible though, as `s_update_ref()` only knows about a single
reference update at a time, so it doesn't allow us to alter the
strategy.
This commit prepares `s_update_ref()` and its only caller
`update_local_ref()` to allow passing an external transaction. If none
is given, then the existing behaviour is triggered which creates a new
transaction and directly commits it. Otherwise, if the caller provides a
transaction, then we only queue the update but don't commit it. This
optionally allows the caller to manage when a transaction will be
committed.
Given that `update_local_ref()` is always called with a `NULL`
transaction for now, no change in behaviour is expected from this
change.

When performing a fetch with the default `--write-fetch-head` option, we
write all updated references to FETCH_HEAD while the updates are
performed. Given that updates are not performed atomically, it means
that we we write to FETCH_HEAD even if some or all of the reference
updates fail.
Given that we simply update FETCH_HEAD ad-hoc with each reference, the
logic is completely contained in `store_update_refs` and thus quite hard
to extend. This can already be seen by the way we skip writing to the
FETCH_HEAD: instead of having a conditional which simply skips writing,
we instead open "/dev/null" and needlessly write all updates there.
We are about to extend git-fetch(1) to accept an `--atomic` flag which
will make the fetch an all-or-nothing operation with regards to the
reference updates. This will also require us to make the updates to
FETCH_HEAD an all-or-nothing operation, but as explained doing so is not
easy with the current layout. This commit thus refactors the wa we write
to FETCH_HEAD and pulls out the logic to open, append to, commit and
close the file. While this may seem rather over-the top at first,
pulling out this logic will make it a lot easier to update the code in a
subsequent commit. It also allows us to easily skip writing completely
in case `--no-write-fetch-head` was passed.

The lazy fetching done internally to make missing objects available
in a partial clone incorrectly made permanent damage to the partial
clone filter in the repository, which has been corrected.
* jt/keep-partial-clone-filter-upon-lazy-fetch:
fetch: do not override partial clone filter
promisor-remote: remove unused variable
Both fetch and push support pattern refspecs which allow fetching or
pushing references that match a specific pattern. Because these patterns
are globs, they have somewhat limited ability to express more complex
situations.
For example, suppose you wish to fetch all branches from a remote except
for a specific one. To allow this, you must setup a set of refspecs
which match only the branches you want. Because refspecs are either
explicit name matches, or simple globs, many patterns cannot be
expressed.
Add support for a new type of refspec, referred to as "negative"
refspecs. These are prefixed with a '^' and mean "exclude any ref
matching this refspec". They can only have one "side" which always
refers to the source. During a fetch, this refers to the name of the ref
on the remote. During a push, this refers to the name of the ref on the
local side.
With negative refspecs, users can express more complex patterns. For
example:
git fetch origin refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* ^refs/heads/dontwant
will fetch all branches on origin into remotes/origin, but will exclude
fetching the branch named dontwant.
Refspecs today are commutative, meaning that order doesn't expressly
matter. Rather than forcing an implied order, negative refspecs will
always be applied last. That is, in order to match, a ref must match at
least one positive refspec, and match none of the negative refspecs.
This is similar to how negative pathspecs work.

When a fetch with the --filter argument is made, the configured default
filter is set even if one already exists. This change was made in
5e46139376 ("builtin/fetch: remove unique promisor remote limitation",
2019-06-25) - in particular, changing from:
* If this is the FIRST partial-fetch request, we enable partial
* on this repo and remember the given filter-spec as the default
* for subsequent fetches to this remote.
to:
* If this is a partial-fetch request, we enable partial on
* this repo if not already enabled and remember the given
* filter-spec as the default for subsequent fetches to this
* remote.
(The given filter-spec is "remembered" even if there is already an
existing one.)
This is problematic whenever a lazy fetch is made, because lazy fetches
are made using "git fetch --filter=blob:none", but this will also happen
if the user invokes "git fetch --filter=<filter>" manually. Therefore,
restore the behavior prior to 5e46139376, which writes a filter-spec
only if the current fetch request is the first partial-fetch one (for
that remote).

slightly.
Since 'git fetch' already allows disabling the 'git gc --auto'

When fetching recursively with submodules, for each ref in the
superproject, we call check_for_new_submodule_commits() which collects all
the objects that have to be checked for submodule changes on
calculate_changed_submodule_paths(). On the first call, it also collects all
the existing refs for excluding them from the scan.
calculate_changed_submodule_paths() creates an argument array with all the
collected new objects, followed by --not and all the old objects. This argv
is passed to setup_revisions, which parses each argument, converts it back
to an oid and resolves the object. The parsing itself also does redundant
work, because it is treated like user input, while in fact it is a full
oid. So it needlessly attempts to look it up as ref (checks if it has ^, ~
etc.), checks if it is a file name etc.
For a repository with many refs, all of this is expensive. But if the fetch
in the superproject did not update the ref (i.e. the objects that are
required to exist in the submodule did not change), there is no need to
include it in the list.
Before commit be76c212 (fetch: ensure submodule objects fetched,
2018-12-06), submodule reference changes were only detected for refs that
were changed, but not for new refs. This commit covered also this case, but
what it did was to just include every ref.
This change should reduce the number of scanned refs by about half (except
the case of a no-op fetch, which will not scan any ref), because all the
existing refs will still be listed after --not.
The regression was reported here:

In "fetch", get_ref_map() iterates over all refs to populate

only literal hashes (i.e. no refs by name) are fetched.
Iterating over refs causes the targets of those refs to be checked for
existence. Avoiding this is especially important when we use "git fetch"

ref may need to be itself lazy-fetched (and otherwise causing an
infinite loop).
Therefore, avoid populating "existing_refs" until necessary. With this

In "fetch", there are two parameters submodule_fetch_jobs_config and
recurse_submodules that can be set in a variety of ways: through
.gitmodules, through .git/config, and through the command line.
Currently "fetch" handles this by first reading .gitmodules, then
reading .git/config (allowing it to overwrite existing values), then
reading the command line (allowing it to overwrite existing values).
Notice that we can avoid reading .gitmodules if .git/config and/or the
command line already provides us with what we need. In addition, if
recurse_submodules is found to be "no", we do not need the value of
submodule_fetch_jobs_config.
Avoiding reading .gitmodules is especially important when we use "git
fetch" to perform lazy fetches in a partial clone because the
.gitmodules file itself might need to be lazy fetched (and otherwise
causing an infinite loop).
In light of all this, avoid reading .gitmodules until necessary. When
reading it, we may only need one of the two parameters it provides, so
teach fetch_config_from_gitmodules() to support NULL arguments. With
this patch, users (including Git itself when invoking "git fetch" to
lazy-fetch) will be able to guarantee avoiding reading .gitmodules by
passing --recurse-submodules=no.

If you run fetch but record the result in remote-tracking branches,
and either if you do nothing with the fetched refs (e.g. you are
merely mirroring) or if you always work from the remote-tracking
refs (e.g. you fetch and then merge origin/branchname separately),
you can get away with having no FETCH_HEAD at all.
Teach "git fetch" a command line option "--[no-]write-fetch-head".
The default is to write FETCH_HEAD, and the option is primarily
meant to be used with the "--no-" prefix to override this default,
because there is no matching fetch.writeFetchHEAD configuration
variable to flip the default to off (in which case, the positive
form may become necessary to defeat it).
Note that under "--dry-run" mode, FETCH_HEAD is never written;
otherwise you'd see list of objects in the file that you do not
actually have. Passing `--write-fetch-head` does not force `git
fetch` to write the file.

There are two functions to get a single config string:
- git_config_get_string()
- git_config_get_string_const()
One might naively think that the first one allocates a new string and
the second one just points us to the internal configset storage. But
in fact they both allocate a new copy; the second one exists only to
avoid having to cast when using it with a const global which we never
intend to free.
The documentation for the function explains that clearly, but it seems
I'm not alone in being surprised by this. Of 17 calls to the function,
13 of them leak the resulting value.
We could obviously fix these by adding the appropriate free(). But it
would be simpler still if we actually had a non-allocating way to get
the string. There's git_config_get_value() but that doesn't quite do
what we want. If the config key is present but is a boolean with no
value (e.g., "[foo]bar" in the file), then we'll get NULL (whereas the
string versions will print an error and die).
So let's introduce a new variant, git_config_get_string_tmp(), that
behaves as these callers expect. We need a new name because we have new
semantics but the same function signature (so even if we converted the
four remaining callers, topics in flight might be surprised). The "tmp"
is because this value should only be held onto for a short time. In
practice it's rare for us to clear and refresh the configset,
invalidating the pointer, but hopefully the "tmp" makes callers think
about the lifetime. In each of the converted cases here the value only
needs to last within the local function or its immediate caller.

The "argc" and "argv" names made sense when the struct was argv_array,
but now they're just confusing. Let's rename them to "nr" (which we use
for counts elsewhere) and "v" (which is rather terse, but reads well
when combined with typical variable names like "args.v").
Note that we have to update all of the callers immediately. Playing
tricks with the preprocessor is hard here, because we wouldn't want to
rewrite unrelated tokens.

Code which split an argv_array call across multiple lines, like:
argv_array_pushl(&args, "one argument",
"another argument", "and more",
NULL);
was recently mechanically renamed to use strvec, which results in
mis-matched indentation like:
strvec_pushl(&args, "one argument",
"another argument", "and more",
NULL);
Let's fix these up to align the arguments with the opening paren. I did
this manually by sifting through the results of:
git jump grep 'strvec_.*,$'
and liberally applying my editor's auto-format. Most of the changes are
of the form shown above, though I also normalized a few that had
originally used a single-tab indentation (rather than our usual style of
aligning with the open paren). I also rewrapped a couple of obvious
cases (e.g., where previously too-long lines became short enough to fit
on one), but I wasn't aggressive about it. In cases broken to three or
more lines, the grouping of arguments is sometimes meaningful, and it
wasn't worth my time or reviewer time to ponder each case individually.

We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec
consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once,
or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits.
Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable
to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different
names is OK).
This patch converts all of the files in builtin/ to keep the diff to a
manageable size.
The conversion was done purely mechanically with:
git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
xargs perl -i -pe '
s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g;
s/argv_array/strvec/g;
'
and then selectively staging files with "git add builtin/". We'll deal
with any indentation/style fallouts separately.

This requires updating #include lines across the code-base, but that's
all fairly mechanical, and was done with:
git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
xargs perl -i -pe 's/argv-array.h/strvec.h/'

Allow runtime upgrade of the repository format version, which needs
to be done carefully.
There is a rather unpleasant backward compatibility worry with the
last step of this series, but it is the right thing to do in the
longer term.
* xl/upgrade-repo-format:
check_repository_format_gently(): refuse extensions for old repositories
sparse-checkout: upgrade repository to version 1 when enabling extension
fetch: allow adding a filter after initial clone
repository: add a helper function to perform repository format upgrade
The reflog entries for "git clone" and "git fetch" did not
anonymize the URL they operated on.
* js/reflog-anonymize-for-clone-and-fetch:
clone/fetch: anonymize URLs in the reflog
Retroactively adding a filter can be useful for existing shallow clones as
they allow users to see earlier change histories without downloading all
git objects in a regular --unshallow fetch.
Without this patch, users can make a clone partial by editing the
repository configuration to convert the remote into a promisor, like:
git config core.repositoryFormatVersion 1
git config extensions.partialClone origin
git fetch --unshallow --filter=blob:none origin
Since the hard part of making this work is already in place and such
edits can be error-prone, teach Git to perform the required configuration
change automatically instead.
Note that this change does not modify the existing git behavior which
recognizes setting extensions.partialClone without changing
repositoryFormatVersion.

Even if we strongly discourage putting credentials into the URLs passed
via the command-line, there _is_ support for that, and users _do_ do
that.
Let's scrub them before writing them to the reflog.

Teach "am", "commit", "merge" and "rebase", when they are run with
the "--quiet" option, to pass "--quiet" down to "gc --auto".
* jc/auto-gc-quiet:
auto-gc: pass --quiet down from am, commit, merge and rebase
auto-gc: extract a reusable helper from "git fetch"
Back in 1991006c (fetch: convert argv_gc_auto to struct argv_array,
2014-08-16), we taught "git fetch --quiet" to pass the "--quiet"
option down to "gc --auto". This issue, however, is not limited to
"fetch":
$ git grep -e 'gc.*--auto' \*.c
finds hits in "am", "commit", "merge", and "rebase" and these
commands do not pass "--quiet" down to "gc --auto" when they
themselves are told to be quiet.
As a preparatory step, let's introduce a helper function
run_auto_gc(), that the caller can pass a boolean "quiet",
and redo the fix to "git fetch" using the helper.
