The function `odb_pack_keep()` creates a file at the passed-in path. If
this fails, then the function re-tries by first creating any potentially
missing leading directories and then trying to create the file once
again. As such, this function doesn't host any kind of logic that is
specific to the object store, but is rather a generic helper function.
Rename the function to `safe_create_file_with_leading_directories()` and
move it into "path.c". While at it, refactor it so that it loses its
dependency on `the_repository`.

The `safe_create_leading_directories()` function and its relatives are
located in "object-file.c", which is not a good fit as they provide
generic functionality not related to objects at all. Move them into
"path.c", which already hosts `safe_create_dir()` and its relative
`safe_create_dir_in_gitdir()`.
"path.c" is free of `the_repository`, but the moved functions depend on
`the_repository` to read the "core.sharedRepository" config. Adapt the
function signature to accept a repository as argument to fix the issue
and adjust callers accordingly.

The `mkdir_in_gitdir()` function is similar to `safe_create_dir()`, but
the former is hosted in "object-file.c" whereas the latter is hosted in
"path.c". The latter code unit makes way more sense though as the logic
has nothing to do with object files in particular.
Move the file into "path.c". While at it, we:
- Rename the function to `safe_create_dir_in_gitdir()` so that the
function names are similar to one another.
- Remove the dependency on `the_repository` by making the callers pass
the repository instead.
Adjust callers accordingly.

With the preceding refactorings we now only have a couple of implicit
users of `the_repository` left in the "path" subsystem, all of which
depend on global state via `calc_shared_perm()`. Make the dependency on
`the_repository` explicit by passing the repo as a parameter instead and
adjust callers accordingly.
Note that this change bubbles up into a couple of subsystems that were
previously declared as free from `the_repository`. Instead of marking
all of them as `the_repository`-dependent again, we instead use the
repository that is available in the calling context. There are three
exceptions though with "copy.c", "pack-write.c" and "tempfile.c".
Adjusting these would require us to adapt callsites all over the place,
so this is left for a future iteration.
Mark "path.c" as free from `the_repository`.

The "core.hooksPath" setting is stored in a global variable and
populated via the `git_default_core_config`. This may cause issues in
the case where one is handling multiple different repositories in a
single process with different values for that config key, as we may or
may not see the correct value in that case. Furthermore, global state
blocks our path towards libification.
Refactor the code so that we instead store the value in `struct
repo_settings`. The value is computed as-needed and cached. The result
should be functionally the same as there aren't ever any code paths
where we'd execute hooks outside the context of a repository.
Note that this requires us to change the passed-in repository in the
`repo_git_path()` family of functions to be non-constant, as we call
`adjust_git_path()` there.

Remove `git_path()` in favor of the `repo_git_path()` family of
functions, which makes the implicit dependency on `the_repository` go
away.
Note that `git_path()` returned a string allocated via `get_pathname()`,
which uses a rotating set of statically allocated buffers. Consequently,
callers didn't have to free the returned string. The same isn't true for
`repo_common_path()`, so we also have to add logic to free the returned
strings.
This refactoring also allows us to remove `repo_common_pathv()` as well
as `get_pathname()` from the public interface.

As explained in an earlier commit, we're refactoring path-related
functions to provide a consistent interface for computing paths into the
commondir, gitdir and worktree. Refactor the "submodule" family of
functions accordingly.
Note that in contrast to the other `repo_*_path()` families, we have to
pass in the repository as a non-constant pointer. This is because we end
up calling `repo_read_gitmodules()` deep down in the callstack, which
may end up modifying the repository.

The functions provided by the "path" subsystem to derive repository
paths for the commondir, gitdir, worktrees and submodules are quite
inconsistent. Some functions have a `strbuf_` prefix, others have
different return values, some don't provide a variant working on top of
`strbuf`s.
We're thus about to refactor all of these family of functions so that
they follow a common pattern:
- `repo_*_path()` returns an allocated string.
- `repo_*_path_append()` appends the path to the caller-provided
buffer while returning a constant pointer to the buffer. This
clarifies whether the buffer is being appended to or rewritten,
which otherwise wasn't immediately obvious.
- `repo_*_path_replace()` replaces contents of the buffer with the
computed path, again returning a pointer to the buffer contents.
The returned constant pointer isn't being used anywhere yet, but it will
be used in subsequent commits. Its intent is to allow calling patterns
like the following somewhat contrived example:
if (!stat(&st, repo_common_path_replace(repo, &buf, ...)) &&
!unlink(repo_common_path_replace(repo, &buf, ...)))
...
Refactor the commondir family of functions accordingly and adapt all
callers.
Note that `repo_common_pathv()` is converted into an internal
implementation detail. It is only used to implement `the_repository`
compatibility shims and will eventually be removed from the public
interface.

Loosen overly strict ownership check introduced in the recent past,
to keep the promise "cloning a suspicious repository is a safe
first step to inspect it".
* bc/allow-upload-pack-from-other-people:
Allow cloning from repositories owned by another user
|
|
Historically, Git has allowed users to clone from an untrusted
repository, and we have documented that this is safe to do so:
`upload-pack` tries to avoid any dangerous configuration options or
hooks from the repository it's serving, making it safe to clone an
untrusted directory and run commands on the resulting clone.
However, this was broken by f4aa8c8bb1 ("fetch/clone: detect dubious
ownership of local repositories", 2024-04-10) in an attempt to make
things more secure. That change resulted in a variety of problems when
cloning locally and over SSH, but it did not change the stated security
boundary. Because the security boundary has not changed, it is safe to
adjust part of the code that patch introduced.
To do that and restore the previous functionality, adjust enter_repo to
take two flags instead of one.
The two bits are
- ENTER_REPO_STRICT: callers that require exact paths (as opposed
to allowing known suffixes like ".git", ".git/.git" to be
omitted) can set this bit. Corresponds to the "strict" parameter
that the flags word replaces.
- ENTER_REPO_ANY_OWNER_OK: callers that are willing to run without
ownership check can set this bit.
The former is --strict-paths option of "git daemon". The latter is
set only by upload-pack, which honors the claimed security boundary.
Note that local clones across ownership boundaries require --no-local so
that upload-pack is used. Document this fact in the manual page and
provide an example.
This patch was based on one written by Junio C Hamano.

The path subsystem provides a bunch of legacy functions that compute
paths relative to the "gitdir" and "commondir" directories of the global
`the_repository` variable. Use of those functions is discouraged, and it
is easy to miss the implicit dependency on `the_repository` that calls
to those functions may cause.
With `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE`, we have recently introduced a tool
that allows us to get rid of such functions over time. With this macro,
we can hide away functions that have such implicit dependency such that
other subsystems that want to be free of `the_repository` will not use
them by accident.
Move all path-related functions that use `the_repository` into a block
that gets only conditionally compiled depending on whether or not the
macro has been defined. This also removes all dependencies on that
variable in "path.c", allowing us to remove the definition of said
preprocessor macro.

Due to scalability issues, Shawn Pearce has originally proposed a new
"reftable" format more than six years ago [1]. Initially, this new
format was implemented in JGit with promising results. Around two years
ago, we have then added the "reftable" library to the Git codebase via
a4bbd13be3 (Merge branch 'hn/reftable', 2021-12-15). With this we have
landed all the low-level code to read and write reftables. Notably
missing though was the integration of this low-level code into the Git
code base in the form of a new ref backend that ties all of this
together.
This gap is now finally closed by introducing a new "reftable" backend
into the Git codebase. This new backend promises to bring some notable
improvements to Git repositories:
- It becomes possible to do truly atomic writes where either all refs
are committed to disk or none are. This was not possible with the
"files" backend because ref updates were split across multiple loose
files.
- The disk space required to store many refs is reduced, both compared
to loose refs and packed-refs. This is enabled both by the reftable
format being a binary format, which is more compact, and by prefix
compression.
- We can ignore filesystem-specific behaviour as ref names are not
encoded via paths anymore. This means there is no need to handle
case sensitivity on Windows systems or Unicode precomposition on
macOS.
- There is no need to rewrite the complete refdb anymore every time a
ref is being deleted like it was the case for packed-refs. This
means that ref deletions are now constant time instead of scaling
linearly with the number of refs.
- We can ignore file/directory conflicts so that it becomes possible
to store both "refs/heads/foo" and "refs/heads/foo/bar".
- Due to this property we can retain reflogs for deleted refs. We have
previously been deleting reflogs together with their refs to avoid
file/directory conflicts, which is not necessary anymore.
- We can properly enumerate all refs. With the "files" backend it is
not easily possible to distinguish between refs and non-refs because
they may live side by side in the gitdir.
Not all of these improvements are realized with the current "reftable"
backend implementation. At this point, the new backend is supposed to be
a drop-in replacement for the "files" backend that is used by basically
all Git repositories nowadays. It strives for 1:1 compatibility, which
means that a user can expect the same behaviour regardless of whether
they use the "reftable" backend or the "files" backend for most of the
part.
Most notably, this means we artificially limit the capabilities of the
"reftable" backend to match the limits of the "files" backend. It is not
possible to create refs that would end up with file/directory conflicts,
we do not retain reflogs, we perform stricter-than-necessary checks.
This is done intentionally due to two main reasons:
- It makes it significantly easier to land the "reftable" backend as
tests behave the same. It would be tough to argue for each and every
single test that doesn't pass with the "reftable" backend.
- It ensures compatibility between repositories that use the "files"
backend and repositories that use the "reftable" backend. Like this,
hosters can migrate their repositories to use the "reftable" backend
without causing issues for clients that use the "files" backend in
their clones.
It is expected that these artificial limitations may eventually go away
in the long term.
Performance-wise things very much depend on the actual workload. The
following benchmarks compare the "files" and "reftable" backends in the
current version:
- Creating N refs in separate transactions shows that the "files"
backend is ~50% faster. This is not surprising given that creating a
ref only requires us to create a single loose ref. The "reftable"
backend will also perform auto compaction on updates. In real-world
workloads we would likely also want to perform pack loose refs,
which would likely change the picture.

- Listing all refs shows no significant advantage for either of the
backends. The "files" backend is a bit faster, but not by a
significant margin. When repositories are not packed the "reftable"
backend outperforms the "files" backend because the "reftable"
backend performs auto-compaction.

So overall, performance depends on the usecases. Except for many
sequential writes the "reftable" backend is roughly on par or
significantly faster than the "files" backend though. Given that the
"files" backend has received 18 years of optimizations by now this can
be seen as a win. Furthermore, we can expect that the "reftable" backend
will grow faster over time when attention turns more towards
optimizations.
The complete test suite passes, except for those tests explicitly marked
to require the REFFILES prerequisite. Some tests in t0610 are marked as
failing because they depend on still-in-flight bug fixes. Tests can be
run with the new backend by setting the GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT
environment variable to "reftable".
There is a single known conceptual incompatibility with the dumb HTTP
transport. As "info/refs" SHOULD NOT contain the HEAD reference, and
because the "HEAD" file is not valid anymore, it is impossible for the
remote client to figure out the default branch without changing the
protocol. This shortcoming needs to be handled in a subsequent patch
series.
As the reftable library has already been introduced a while ago, this
commit message will not go into the details of how exactly the on-disk
format works. Please refer to our preexisting technical documentation at
Documentation/technical/reftable for this.

In 70c70de616 (refs: complete list of special refs, 2023-12-14) we have
inrtoduced a new `is_special_ref()` function that classifies some refs
as being special. The rule is that special refs are exclusively read and
written via the filesystem directly, whereas normal refs exclucsively go
via the refs API.
The intent of that commit was to record the status quo so that we know
to route reads of such special refs consistently. Eventually, the list
should be reduced to its bare minimum of refs which really are special,
namely FETCH_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD.
Follow up on this promise and convert the AUTO_MERGE ref to become a
normal pseudo-ref by using the refs API to both read and write it
instead of accessing the filesystem directly.

The "struct path_cache" added in 102de880d24 (path.c: migrate global
git_path_* to take a repository argument, 2018-05-17) is only used
directly by code in repository.[ch] (but populated in path.[ch]).
Let's move this code to repository.[ch], and stop leaking this memory
when we run repo_clear(). To avoid the cast change it from a "const
char *" to a "char *".
This also removes the "PATH_CACHE_INIT" macro, which has never been
used for anything. For the "struct repository" we already make a hard
assumption that it (and "the_repository") can be identically
initialized by making it a "static" variable, so making use of a
"PATH_CACHE_INIT" somewhere would have been confusing.

In C it isn't required to specify that all members of a struct are
zero'd out to 0, NULL or '\0', just providing a "{ 0 }" will
accomplish that.
Let's also change code that provided N zero'd fields to just
provide one, and change e.g. "{ NULL }" to "{ 0 }" for
consistency. I.e. even if the first member is a pointer let's use "0"
instead of "NULL". The point of using "0" consistently is to pick one,
and to not have the reader wonder why we're not using the same pattern
everywhere.

There are a variety of questions users might ask while resolving
conflicts:
* What changes have been made since the previous (first) parent?
* What changes are staged?
* What is still unstaged? (or what is still conflicted?)
* What changes did I make to resolve conflicts so far?
The first three of these have simple answers:
* git diff HEAD
* git diff --cached
* git diff
There was no way to answer the final question previously. Adding one
is trivial in merge-ort, since it works by creating a tree representing
what should be written to the working copy complete with conflict
markers. Simply write that tree to .git/AUTO_MERGE, allowing users to
answer the fourth question with
* git diff AUTO_MERGE
I avoided using a name like "MERGE_AUTO", because that would be
merge-specific (much like MERGE_HEAD, REBASE_HEAD, REVERT_HEAD,
CHERRY_PICK_HEAD) and I wanted a name that didn't change depending on
which type of operation the merge was part of.
Ensure that paths which clean out other temporary operation-specific
files (e.g. CHERRY_PICK_HEAD, MERGE_MSG, rebase-merge/ state directory)
also clean out this AUTO_MERGE file.

In rebase, one can pass the `--autostash` option to cause the worktree
to be automatically stashed before continuing with the rebase. This
option is missing in merge, however.
Implement the `--autostash` option and corresponding `merge.autoStash`
option in merge which stashes before merging and then pops after.
This option is useful when a developer has some local changes on a topic
branch but they realize that their work depends on another branch.
Previously, they had to run something like
git fetch ...
git stash push
git merge FETCH_HEAD
git stash pop
but now, that is reduced to
git fetch ...
git merge --autostash FETCH_HEAD
When an autostash is generated, it is automatically reapplied to the
worktree only in three explicit situations:
1. An incomplete merge is commit using `git commit`.
2. A merge completes successfully.
3. A merge is aborted using `git merge --abort`.
In all other situations where the merge state is removed using
remove_merge_branch_state() such as aborting a merge via
`git reset --hard`, the autostash is saved into the stash reflog
instead keeping the worktree clean.

We have a function to strip the path suffix from a commit, but we don't
have one to check for a path suffix. For a plain filename, we can use
basename, but that requires an allocation, since POSIX allows it to
modify its argument. Refactor strip_path_suffix into a helper function
and a new function, ends_with_path_components, to meet this need.

There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations.
Finish the job by removing all instances of "extern" for function
declarations in headers using sed.
This was done by running the following on my system with sed 4.2.2:
$ git ls-files \*.{c,h} |
grep -v ^compat/ |
xargs sed -i'' -e 's/^\(\s*\)extern \([^(]*([^*]\)/\1\2/'
Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly
copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much
as possible.
Then, leftover instances of extern were found by running
$ git grep -w -C3 extern \*.{c,h}
and manually checking the output. No other instances were found.
Note that the regex used specifically excludes function variables which
_should_ be left as extern.
Not the most elegant way to do it but it gets the job done.

There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations.
Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are
caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with
processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern`
declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch.
This was the Coccinelle patch used:
@@
type T;
identifier f;
@@
- extern
T f(...);
and it was run with:
$ git ls-files \*.{c,h} |
grep -v ^compat/ |
xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place
Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly

Migrate all git_path_* functions that are defined in path.c to take a
repository argument. Unlike other patches in this series, do not use the
#define trick, as we rewrite the whole function, which is rather small.
This doesn't migrate all the functions, as other builtins have their own
local path functions defined using GIT_PATH_FUNC. So keep that macro
around to serve the other locations.
