Even though it is in POSIX, we do not have to use it, only to hurt
shells that may lack the support.
The .mailrc test tries to define an alias in .mailrc in the home
directory by shell redirection, and then tries to see ~/.mailrc in
config is tilde-expanded by Git without help from shell. So the
creation should become $HOME/ to be portable for shells that may
lack tilde expansion but the reference should be done as "~/.mailrc".

Fix remaining instances where "pack-file" is used instead of
"packfile". Some places remain where we still use "pack-file",
This is the case when we explicitly refer to a file with a
".pack" extension as opposed to a data source providing a pack
data stream.

There was a commented-out (instead of being marked to expect
failure) test that documented a breakage that was fixed since the

Back when these tests were written, we wanted to make sure that Git
notices it is in a bare repository and "git show -s HEAD" would
refrain from complaining that HEAD might mean a file it sees in its
current working directory (because it does not). But the version of
Git back then didn't behave well, without (doubly) being told that
it is inside a bare repository by exporting "GIT_DIR=.". The form
of the test we originally wanted to have was left commented out as
a reminder.
Nowadays the test as originally intended works, so add it to the
test suite. We'll keep the old test that explicitly sets GIT_DIR=.
to make sure that use case will not regress.

The controlling tty-based heuristics to squelch progress output did
not consider that the process may not be talking to a tty at all
(e.g. sending the progress to sideband #2). This is a finishing
touch to a topic that is already in 'master'.

progress: treat "no terminal" as being in the foreground
Commit 85cb890 (progress: no progress in background,
2015-04-13) avoids sending progress from background
processes by checking that the process group id of the
current process is the same as that of the controlling
terminal.
If we don't have a terminal, however, this check never
succeeds, and we print no progress at all (until the final
"done" message). This can be seen when cloning a large
repository; instead of getting progress updates for
"counting objects", it will appear to hang then print the
final count.
We can fix this by treating an error return from tcgetpgrp()
as a signal to show the progress.

Filter scripts were run with SIGPIPE disabled on the Git side,
expecting that they may not read what Git feeds them to filter.
We however treated a filter that does not read its input fully
before exiting as an error.
This changes semantics, but arguably in a good way. If a filter
can produce its output without consuming its input using whatever
magic, we now let it do so, instead of diagnosing it as a
programming error.

We are explicitly ignoring SIGPIPE, as we fully expect that the
filter program may not read our output fully. Ignore EPIPE that
may come from writing to it as well.
A new test was stolen from Jeff's suggestion.

When copy_fd() function encounters errors, it emits error messages
itself, which makes it impossible for callers to take responsibility
for reporting errors, especially when they want to ignore certain
errors.
Move the error reporting to its callers in preparation.
- copy_file() and copy_file_with_time() by indirection get their
own calls to error().
- hold_lock_file_for_append(), when told to die on error, used to
exit(128) relying on the error message from copy_fd(), but now it
does its own die() instead. Note that the callers that do not
pass LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR need to be adjusted for this change, but
fortunately there is none ;-)
- filter_buffer_or_fd() has its own error() already, in addition to
the message from copy_fd(), so this will change the output but
arguably in a better way.

created transport
Commit 2879bc3 made the progress and verbosity options sent to remote helper
earlier than they previously were. But nothing else after that would send
updates if the value is changed later on with transport_set_verbosity.
While for fetch and push, transport_set_verbosity is the first thing that
is done after creating the transport, it was not the case for clone. So
commit 2879bc3 broke changing progress and verbosity for clone, for urls
requiring a remote helper only (so, not git:// urls, for instance).
Moving transport_set_verbosity to just after the transport is created
works around the issue.

There was a dead code that used to handle "git pull --tags" and

the semantics of the option changed back in Git 1.9 days.

Since 441ed41 ("git pull --tags": error out with a better message.,
2007-12-28), git pull --tags would print a different error message if
git-fetch did not return any merge candidates:
It doesn't make sense to pull all tags; you probably meant:
git fetch --tags
This is because at that time, git-fetch --tags would override any
configured refspecs, and thus there would be no merge candidates. The
error message was thus introduced to prevent confusion.
However, since c5a84e9 (fetch --tags: fetch tags *in addition to*
other stuff, 2013-10-30), git fetch --tags would fetch tags in addition
to any configured refspecs. Hence, if any no merge candidates situation
occurs, it is not because --tags was set. As such, this special error
message is now irrelevant.
To prevent confusion, remove this error message.

Instead of dying immediately upon failing to obtain a lock, retry
after a short while with backoff.

Currently, there is only one attempt to acquire any lockfile, and if
the lock is held by another process, the locking attempt fails
immediately.
This is not such a limitation for loose reference files. First, they
don't take long to rewrite. Second, most reference updates have a
known "old" value, so if another process is updating a reference at
the same moment that we are trying to lock it, then probably the
expected "old" value will not longer be valid, and the update will
fail anyway.
But these arguments do not hold for packed-refs:
* The packed-refs file can be large and take significant time to
rewrite.
* Many references are stored in a single packed-refs file, so it could
be that the other process was changing a different reference than
the one that we are interested in.
Therefore, it is much more likely for there to be spurious lock
conflicts in connection to the packed-refs file, resulting in
unnecessary command failures.
So, if the first attempt to lock the packed-refs file fails, continue
retrying for a configurable length of time before giving up. The
default timeout is 1 second.

Currently, there is only one attempt to lock a file. If it fails, the
whole operation fails.
But it might sometimes be advantageous to try acquiring a file lock a
few times before giving up. So add a new function,
hold_lock_file_for_update_timeout(), that allows a timeout to be
specified. Make hold_lock_file_for_update() a thin wrapper around the
new function.
If timeout_ms is positive, then retry for at least that many
milliseconds to acquire the lock. On each failed attempt, use select()
to wait for a backoff time that increases quadratically (capped at 1
second) and has a random component to prevent two processes from
getting synchronized. If timeout_ms is negative, retry indefinitely.
In a moment we will switch to using the new function when locking
packed-refs.

When running "add -e", if launching the editor fails, we do

to throw away those that though contain but don't start with the given
section.
Modify the regex to match only at the beginning, so the case statement
becomes unnecessary and we can get rid of it. Add a test to check that a
match in the middle doesn't fool us.

Currently there are a few completion functions that perform similar 'git
config' queries and filtering to get config variable names: the completion
of pretty aliases, aliases, and remote groups for 'git remote update'.
Unify those 'git config' queries in a helper function to eliminate code
duplication.
Though the helper functions to get pretty aliases and alieses are reduced
to mere one-liner wrappers around the newly added function, keep these
helpers still, because users' completion functions out there might depend
on them. And they keep their callers a tad easier to read, too.
Add tests for the pretty alias and alias helper to show that they work
as before; not for the remote groups query, though, because that's not
extracted into a helper function and it's not worth the effort to do so
for a sole callsite.

If there is a failure to lock a reference that is likely caused by a
D/F conflict (e.g., trying to lock "refs/foo/bar" when reference
"refs/foo" already exists), invoke verify_refname_available() to try
to generate a more helpful error message.
That function might not detect an error. For example, some
non-reference file might be blocking the deletion of an
otherwise-empty directory tree, or there might be a race with another
process that just deleted the offending reference. In such cases,
generate the strerror-based error message like before.

Rename is_refname_available() to verify_refname_available() and change
its return value from 1 for success to 0 for success, to be consistent
with our error-handling convention. In a moment it will also get a
"struct strbuf *err" parameter.

If two references that D/F conflict (e.g., "refs/foo" and
"refs/foo/bar") are created in a single transaction, the old code
discovered the problem only after the "commit" phase of
ref_transaction_commit() had already begun. This could leave some
references updated and others not, which violates the promise of
atomicity.
Instead, check for such conflicts during the "locking" phase:
* Teach is_refname_available() to take an "extras" parameter that can
contain extra reference names with which the specified refname must
not conflict.
* Change lock_ref_sha1_basic() to take an "extras" parameter, which it
passes through to is_refname_available().
* Change ref_transaction_commit() to pass "affected_refnames" to
lock_ref_sha1_basic() as its "extras" argument.
This change fixes a test case in t1404.
This code is a bit stricter than it needs to be. We could conceivably
allow reference "refs/foo/bar" to be created in the same transaction
as "refs/foo" is deleted (or vice versa). But that would be
complicated to implement, because it is not possible to lock
"refs/foo/bar" while "refs/foo" exists as a loose reference, but on
the other hand we don't want to delete some references before adding
others (because that could leave a gap during which required objects
are unreachable). There is also a complication that reflog files'
paths can conflict.
Any less-strict implementation would probably require tricks like the
packing of all references before the start of the real transaction, or
the use of temporary intermediate reference names.
So for now let's accept too-strict checks. Some reference update
transactions will be rejected unnecessarily, but they will be rejected
in their entirety rather than leaving the repository in an
intermediate state, as would happen now.
Please note that there is still one kind of D/F conflict that is *not*
handled correctly. If two processes are running at the same time, and
one tries to create "refs/foo" at the same time that the other tries
to create "refs/foo/bar", then they can race with each other. Both
processes can obtain their respective locks ("refs/foo.lock" and
"refs/foo/bar.lock"), proceed to the "commit" phase of
ref_transaction_commit(), and then the slower process will discover
that it cannot rename its lockfile into place (after possibly having
committed changes to other references). There appears to be no way to
fix this race without changing the locking policy, which in turn would
require a change to *all* Git clients.

Detect duplicates by storing the reference names in a string_list and
sorting that, instead of sorting the ref_updates directly.
* In a moment the string_list will be used for another purpose, too.
* This removes the need for the custom comparison function
ref_update_compare().
* This means that we can carry out the updates in the order that the
user specified them instead of reordering them. This might be handy
someday if, we want to permit multiple updates to a single reference
as long as they are compatible with each other.
Note: we can't use string_list_remove_duplicates() to check for
duplicates, because we need to know the name of the reference that
appeared multiple times, to be used in the error message.

Add some tests of reference D/F conflicts (by which I mean the fact
that references like "refs/foo" and "refs/foo/bar" are not allowed to
coexist) in the context of reference transactions.
The test of creating two conflicting references in the same
transaction fails, leaving the transaction half-completed. This will
be fixed later in this patch series.
Please note that the error messages emitted in the case of conflicts
are not very user-friendly. In particular, when the conflicts involve
loose references, then the errors are reported as
error: there are still refs under 'refs/foo'
fatal: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/foo'.
or
error: unable to resolve reference refs/foo/bar: Not a directory
fatal: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/foo/bar'.
This is because lock_ref_sha1_basic() fails while trying to lock the
new reference, before it even gets to the is_refname_available()
check. This situation will also be improved later in this patch
series.

The old code was roughly
for update in updates:
acquire locks and check old_sha
for update in updates:
if changing value:
write_ref_to_lockfile()
commit_ref_update()
for update in updates:
if deleting value:
unlink()
rewrite packed-refs file
for update in updates:
if reference still locked:
unlock_ref()
This has two problems.
Non-atomic updates
==================
The atomicity of the reference transaction depends on all pre-checks
being done in the first loop, before any changes have started being
committed in the second loop. The problem is that
write_ref_to_lockfile() (previously part of write_ref_sha1()), which
is called from the second loop, contains two more checks:
* It verifies that new_sha1 is a valid object
* If the reference being updated is a branch, it verifies that
new_sha1 points at a commit object (as opposed to a tag, tree, or
blob).
If either of these checks fails, the "transaction" is aborted during
the second loop. But this might happen after some reference updates
have already been permanently committed. In other words, the
all-or-nothing promise of "git update-ref --stdin" could be violated.
So these checks have to be moved to the first loop.
File descriptor exhaustion
==========================
The old code locked all of the references in the first loop, leaving
all of the lockfiles open until later loops. Since we might be
updating a lot of references, this could result in file descriptor
exhaustion.
The solution
============
After this patch, the code looks like
for update in updates:
acquire locks and check old_sha
if changing value:
write_ref_to_lockfile()
else:
close_ref()
for update in updates:
if changing value:
commit_ref_update()
for update in updates:
if deleting value:
unlink()
rewrite packed-refs file
for update in updates:
if reference still locked:
unlock_ref()
This fixes both problems:
1. The pre-checks in write_ref_to_lockfile() are now done in the first
loop, before any changes have been committed. If any of the checks
fails, the whole transaction can now be rolled back correctly.
2. All lockfiles are closed in the first loop immediately after they
are created (either by write_ref_to_lockfile() or by close_ref()).
This means that there is never more than one open lockfile at a
time, preventing file descriptor exhaustion.
To simplify the bookkeeping across loops, add a new REF_NEEDS_COMMIT
bit to update->flags, which keeps track of whether the corresponding
lockfile needs to be committed, as opposed to just unlocked. (Since
"struct ref_update" is internal to the refs module, this change is not
visible to external callers.)
This change fixes two tests in t1400.
