| * refs.c: make prune_ref use a transaction to delete the refRonnie Sahlberg2014-09-031-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change prune_ref to delete the ref using a ref transaction. To do this we also need to add a new flag REF_ISPRUNING that will tell the transaction that we do not want to delete this ref from the packed refs. This flag is private to refs.c and not exposed to external callers.

While _begin can currently never fail for other reasons than OOM, in which case we die() anyway, we may add other types of backends in the future. For example, a hypothetical MySQL backend could fail in _begin with "Can not connect to MySQL server. No route to host".

To avoid this, call repack_without_refs() first to repack without all the refs that will be deleted, before calling delete_ref() to delete each one completely. The call to repack_without_ref() in delete_ref() then becomes a no-op, since packed-refs already won't contain any of the deleted refs.

Finally change two places in refs.c itself to use the new function to check if a ref exists or not isntead of build-path-and-stat(). Now, this is strictly not all that important since these are in parts of refs that are implementing the actual file storage backend but on the other hand it will not hurt either.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old signature of update_refs() required a (const struct ref_update **) for its updates_orig argument. The "const" is presumably there to promise that the function will not modify the contents of the structures. But this declaration does not permit the function to be called with a (struct ref_update **), which is perfectly legitimate. C's type system is not powerful enough to express what we'd like. So remove the first "const" from the declaration. On the other hand, the function *can* promise not to modify the pointers within the array that is passed to it without inconveniencing its callers. So add a "const" that has that effect, making the final declaration (struct ref_update * const *).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add 'struct ref_update' to encode the information needed to update or delete a ref (name, new sha1, optional old sha1, no-deref flag). Add function 'update_refs' accepting an array of updates to perform. First sort the input array to order locks consistently everywhere and reject multiple updates to the same ref. Then acquire locks on all refs with verified old values. Then update or delete all refs accordingly. Fail if any one lock cannot be obtained or any one old value does not match. Though the refs themselves cannot be modified together in a single atomic transaction, this function does enable some useful semantics. For example, a caller may create a new branch starting from the head of another branch and rewind the original branch at the same time. This transfers ownership of commits between branches without risk of losing commits added to the original branch by a concurrent process, or risk of a concurrent process creating the new branch first.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The lifetime of the memory pointed to by the refname and sha1 arguments to each_ref_fn was never documented, but some callers used to assume that it was essentially permanent. In fact the API does *not* guarantee that these objects live beyond a single callback invocation. In the current code, the lifetimes are bound together with the lifetimes of the ref_caches. Since these are usually long, the callers usually got away with their sloppiness. But even today, if a ref_cache is invalidated the memory can be freed. And planned changes to reference caching, needed to eliminate race conditions, will probably need to shorten the lifetimes of these objects. The commits leading up to this have (hopefully) fixed all of the callers of the for_each_ref()-like functions. This commit does the last step: documents what each_ref_fn callbacks can assume about object lifetimes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old version was inconsistent: when a reference was REF_KNOWS_PEELED but with a null peeled value, it returned non-zero for the current reference but zero for other references. Change the behavior for non-current references to match that of current_ref, which is what callers expect. Document the behavior. Current callers only call peel_ref() from within a for_each_ref-style iteration and only for the current ref; therefore, the buggy code path was never reached.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "git checkout -" is a short-hand for "git checkout @{-1}" and the "@{nth}" notation for a negative number is to find nth previous checkout in the reflog of the HEAD to determine the name of the branch the user was on. We would want to find the nth most recent reflog entry that matches "checkout: moving from X to Y" for this. Unfortunately, reflog is implemented as an append-only file, and the API to iterate over its entries, for_each_reflog_ent(), reads the file in order, giving the entries from the oldest to newer. For the purpose of finding nth most recent one, this API forces us to record the last n entries in a rotating buffer and give the result out only after we read everything. To optimize for a common case of finding the nth most recent one for a small value of n, we also have a side API for_each_recent_reflog_ent() that starts reading near the end of the file, but it still has to read the entries in the "wrong" order. The implementation of understanding @{-1} uses this interface. This all becomes unnecessary if we add an API to let us iterate over reflog entries in the reverse order, from the newest to older.

* | upload/receive-pack: allow hiding ref hierarchiesJunio C Hamano2013-02-071-0/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A repository may have refs that are only used for its internal bookkeeping purposes that should not be exposed to the others that come over the network. Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from its initial advertisement by paying attention to the uploadpack.hiderefs multi-valued configuration variable. Do the same to receive-pack via the receive.hiderefs variable. As a convenient short-hand, allow using transfer.hiderefs to set the value to both of these variables. Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value of these variable is excluded from responses to requests made by "ls-remote", "fetch", etc. (for upload-pack) and "push" (for receive-pack). Because these hidden refs do not count as OUR_REF, an attempt to fetch objects at the tip of them will be rejected, and because these refs do not get advertised, "git push :" will not see local branches that have the same name as them as "matching" ones to be sent. An attempt to update/delete these hidden refs with an explicit refspec, e.g. "git push origin :refs/hidden/22", is rejected. This is not a new restriction. To the pusher, it would appear that there is no such ref, so its push request will conclude with "Now that I sent you all the data, it is time for you to update the refs. I saw that the ref did not exist when I started pushing, and I want the result to point at this commit". The receiving end will apply the compare-and-swap rule to this request and rejects the push with "Well, your update request conflicts with somebody else; I see there is such a ref.", which is the right thing to do. Otherwise a push to a hidden ref will always be "the last one wins", which is not a good default. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* refs: store references hierarchicallyMichael Haggerty2012-04-101-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Store references hierarchically in a tree that matches the pseudo-directory structure of the reference names. Add a new kind of ref_entry (with flag REF_DIR) to represent a whole subdirectory of references. Sort ref_dirs one subdirectory at a time. NOTE: the dirs can now be sorted as a side-effect of other function calls. Therefore, it would be problematic to do something from a each_ref_fn callback that could provoke the sorting of a directory that is currently being iterated over (i.e., the directory containing the entry that is being processed or any of its parents). This is a bit far-fetched, because a directory is always sorted just before being iterated over. Therefore, read-only accesses cannot trigger the sorting of a directory whose iteration has already started. But if a callback function would add a reference to a parent directory of the reference in the iteration, then try to resolve a reference under that directory, a re-sort could be triggered and cause the iteration to work incorrectly. Nevertheless...add a comment in refs.h warning against modifications during iteration. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
