* refs: remove the extra_refs APImh/war-on-extra-refsMichael Haggerty2012-02-121-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | The extra_refs provided a kludgy way to create fake references at a global level in the hope that they would only affect some particular code path. The last user of this API been rewritten, so strip this stuff out before somebody else gets the bad idea of using it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make invalidate_ref_cache() an official part of the refs API. It is currently a fact of life that code outside of refs.c mucks about with references.

* | add_ref(): verify that the refname is formatted correctlyMichael Haggerty2011-10-051-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In add_ref(), verify that the refname is formatted correctly before adding it to the ref_list. Here we have to allow refname components that start with ".", since (for example) the remote protocol uses synthetic reference name ".have". So add a new REFNAME_DOT_COMPONENT flag that can be passed to check_refname_format() to allow leading dots.

* | Change check_refname_format() to reject unnormalized refnamesMichael Haggerty2011-10-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since much of the infrastructure does not work correctly with unnormalized refnames, change check_refname_format() to reject them. Similarly, change "git check-ref-format" to reject unnormalized refnames by default. But add an option --normalize, which causes "git check-ref-format" to normalize the refname before checking its format, and print the normalized refname. This is exactly the behavior of the old --print option, which is retained but deprecated. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* | Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argumentMichael Haggerty2011-10-051-5/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument that indicates what is acceptable in the reference name (analogous to "git check-ref-format"'s "--allow-onelevel" and "--refspec-pattern"). This is more convenient for callers and also fixes a failure in the test suite (and likely elsewhere in the code) by enabling "onelevel" and "refspec-pattern" to be allowed independently of each other. Also rename check_ref_format() to check_refname_format() to make it obvious that it deals with refnames rather than references themselves.

Git can expose each namespace as an independent repository to pull from and push to, while sharing the object store, and exposing all the refs to operations such as git-gc. Storing multiple repositories as namespaces of a single repository avoids storing duplicate copies of the same objects, such as when storing multiple branches of the same source. The alternates mechanism provides similar support for avoiding duplicates, but alternates do not prevent duplication between new objects added to the repositories without ongoing maintenance, while namespaces do. To specify a namespace, set the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable to the namespace. For each ref namespace, git stores the corresponding refs in a directory under refs/namespaces/. For example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/. You can also specify namespaces via the --namespace option to git. Note that namespaces which include a / will expand to a hierarchy of namespaces; for example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/. This makes paths in GIT_NAMESPACE behave hierarchically, so that cloning with GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar produces the same result as cloning with GIT_NAMESPACE=foo and cloning from that repo with GIT_NAMESPACE=bar. It also avoids ambiguity with strange namespace paths such as foo/refs/heads/, which could otherwise generate directory/file conflicts within the refs directory. Add the infrastructure for ref namespaces: handle the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable and --namespace option, and support iterating over refs in a namespace.

| * checkout -b <name>: correctly detect existing branchJunio C Hamano2011-06-051-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When create a new branch, we fed "refs/heads/<proposed name>" as a string to get_sha1() and expected it to fail when a branch already exists. The right way to check if a ref exists is to check with resolve_ref(). A naïve solution that might appear attractive but does not work is to forbid slashes in get_describe_name() but that will not work. A describe name is is in the form of "ANYTHING-g<short sha1>", and that ANYTHING part comes from a original tag name used in the repository the user ran the describe command. A sick user could have a confusing hierarchical tag whose name is "refs/heads/foobar" (stored as refs/tags/refs/heads/foobar") to generate a describe name "refs/heads/foobar-6-g02ac983", and we should be able to use that name to refer to the object whose name is 02ac983.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Often we want to shorten a full ref name to something "prettier" to show a user. For example, "refs/heads/master" is often shown simply as "master", or "refs/remotes/origin/master" is shown as "origin/master". Many places in the code use a very simple formula: skip common prefixes like refs/heads, refs/remotes, etc. This is codified in the prettify_ref function. for-each-ref has a more correct (but more expensive) approach: consider the ref lookup rules, and try shortening as much as possible while remaining unambiguous. This patch makes the latter strategy globally available as shorten_unambiguous_ref. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* Store peeled refs in packed-refs (take 2).Junio C Hamano2006-11-211-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes the previous implementation which failed to optimize repositories with tons of lightweight tags. The updated packed-refs format begins with "# packed-refs with:" line that lists the kind of extended data the file records. Currently, there is only one such extension defined, "peeled". This stores the "peeled tag" on a line that immediately follows a line for a tag object itself in the format "^<sha-1>". The header line itself and any extended data are ignored by older implementation, so packed-refs file generated with this version can still be used by older git. packed-refs made by older git can of course be used with this version.
