Jeff King 03afcbee9b read_packed_refs: avoid double-checking sane refs
Prior to d0f810f (refs.c: allow listing and deleting badly
named refs, 2014-09-03), read_packed_refs would barf on any
malformed refnames by virtue of calling create_ref_entry
with the "check" parameter set to 1. That commit loosened
our reading so that we call check_refname_format ourselves
and just set a REF_BAD_NAME flag.

We then call create_ref_entry with the check parameter set
to 0. That function learned to do an extra safety check even
when the check parameter is 0, so that we don't load any
dangerous refnames (like "../../../etc/passwd"). This is
implemented by calling refname_is_safe() in
create_ref_entry().

However, we can observe that refname_is_safe() can only be
true if check_refname_format() also failed. So in the common
case of a sanely named ref, we perform _both_ checks, even
though we know that the latter will never trigger. This has
a noticeable performance impact when the packed-refs file is
large.

Let's drop the refname_is_safe check from create_ref_entry(),
and make it the responsibility of the caller.  Of the three
callers that pass a check parameter of "0", two will have
just called check_refname_format(), and can check the
refname-safety only when it fails. The third case,
pack_if_possible_fn, is copying from an existing ref entry,
which must have previously passed our safety check.

With this patch, running "git rev-parse refs/heads/does-not-exist"
on a repo with a large (1.6GB) packed-refs file went from:

  real    0m6.768s
  user    0m6.340s
  sys     0m0.432s

to:

  real    0m5.703s
  user    0m5.276s
  sys     0m0.432s

for a wall-clock speedup of 15%.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	Git - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list.  The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
