* resolve_gitlink_ref: ignore non-repository pathsjk/ref-cache-non-repository-optimJeff King2016-01-251-14/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we want to look up a submodule ref, we use get_ref_cache(path) to find or auto-create its ref cache. But if we feed a path that isn't actually a git repository, we blindly create the ref cache, and then may die deeper in the code when we try to access it. This is a problem because many callers speculatively feed us a path that looks vaguely like a repository, and expect us to tell them when it is not. This patch teaches resolve_gitlink_ref to reject non-repository paths without creating a ref_cache. This avoids the die(), and also performs better if you have a large number of these faux-submodule directories (because the ref_cache lookup is linear, under the assumption that there won't be a large number of submodules). To accomplish this, we also break get_ref_cache into two pieces: the lookup and auto-creation (the latter is lumped into create_ref_cache). This lets us first cheaply ask our cache "is it a submodule we know about?" If so, we can avoid repeating our filesystem lookup. So lookups of real submodules are not penalized; they examine the submodule's .git directory only once. The test in t3000 demonstrates a case where this improves correctness (we used to just die). The new perf case in p7300 shows off the speed improvement in an admittedly pathological repository: Test HEAD^ HEAD ---------------------------------------------------------------- 7300.4: ls-files -o 66.97(66.15+0.87) 0.33(0.08+0.24) -99.5% Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* refs: break out ref conflict checksdt/refs-backend-pre-vtableDavid Turner2015-11-201-42/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create new function find_descendant_ref, to hold one of the ref conflict checks used in verify_refname_available. Multiple backends will need this function, so move it to the common code. Also move rename_ref_available to the common code, because alternate backends might need it and it has no files-backend-specific code.

* files_log_ref_write: new functionDavid Turner2015-11-201-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because HEAD and stash are per-worktree, every refs backend needs to go through the files backend to write these refs. So create a new function, files_log_ref_write, and add it to refs/refs-internal.h. Later, we will use this to handle reflog updates for per-worktree symbolic refs (HEAD).

* refs: split filesystem-based refs code into a new fileMichael Haggerty2015-11-201-0/+3539
As another step in the move to pluggable reference backends, move the code that is specific to the filesystem-based reference backend (i.e., the current system of storing references as loose and packed files) into a separate file, refs/files-backend.c. Aside from a tiny bit of file header boilerplate, this commit only moves a subset of the code verbatim from refs.c to the new file, as can easily be verified using patience diff: git diff --patience $commit^:refs.c $commit:refs.c git diff --patience $commit^:refs.c $commit:refs/files-backend.c Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
