fetch: add configuration for set_head behaviour
In the current implementation, if refs/remotes/$remote/HEAD does not
exist, running fetch will create it, but if it does exist it will not do
anything, which is a somewhat safe and minimal approach. Unfortunately,
for users who wish to NOT have refs/remotes/$remote/HEAD set for any
reason (e.g. so that `git rev-parse origin` doesn't accidentally point
them somewhere they do not want to), there is no way to remove this
behaviour. On the other side of the spectrum, users may want fetch to
automatically update HEAD or at least give them a warning if something
changed on the remote.
Introduce a new setting, remote.$remote.followRemoteHEAD with four
options:
- "never": do not ever do anything, not even create
- "create": the current behaviour, now the default behaviour
- "warn": print a message if remote and local HEAD is different
- "always": silently update HEAD on every change

fetch set_head: handle mirrored bare repositories
When adding a remote to bare repository with "git remote add --mirror",
running fetch will fail to update HEAD to the remote's HEAD, since it
does not know how to handle bare repositories. On the other hand HEAD
already has content, since "git init --bare" has already set HEAD to
whatever is the default branch set for the user. Unless this - by chance
- is the same as the remote's HEAD, HEAD will be pointing to a bad
symref. Teach set_head to handle bare repositories, by overwriting HEAD
so it mirrors the remote's HEAD.
Note, that in this case overriding the local HEAD reference is
necessary, since HEAD will exist before fetch can be run, but this
should not be an issue, since the whole purpose of --mirror is to be an
exact mirror of the remote, so following any changes to HEAD makes
sense.
Also note, that although "git remote set-head" also fails when trying to
update the remote's locally tracked HEAD in a mirrored bare repository,
the usage of the command does not make much sense after this patch:
fetch will update the remote HEAD correctly, and setting it manually to
something else is antithetical to the concept of mirroring.

index-pack: teach --promisor to forbid pack name
Currently,
- Running "index-pack --promisor" outside a repo segfaults.
- It may be confusing to a user that running "index-pack --promisor"
within a repo may make changes to the repo's object DB, especially
since the packs indexed by the index-pack invocation may not even be
related to the repo.
As discussed in [1] and [2], teaching --promisor to forbid a packfile
name solves both these problems. This combination of arguments requires
a repo (since we are writing the resulting .pack and .idx to it) and it
is clear that the files are related to the repo.
Currently, Git uses "index-pack --promisor" only when fetching into
a repo, so it could be argued that we should teach "index-pack" a
new argument (say, "--fetching-mode") instead of tying --promisor to
a generic argument like the packfile name. However, this --promisor
feature could conceivably be used whenever we have a packfile that is
known to come from the promisor remote (whether obtained through Git's
fetch protocol or through other means) so not using a new argument seems
reasonable - one could envision a user-made script obtaining a packfile
and then running "index-pack --promisor --stdin", for example. In fact,
it might be possible to relax the restriction further (say, by also
allowing --promisor when indexing a packfile that is in the object DB),
but relaxing the restriction is backwards-compatible so we can revisit
that later.
One thing to watch out for is the possibility of a future Git feature
that indexes a pack in the context of a repo, but does not necessarily
write the resulting pack to it (and does not necessarily desire to
make any changes to the object DB). One such feature would be fetch
quarantine, which might need the repo context in order to detect
hash collisions, but would also need to ensure that the object DB
is undisturbed in case the fetch fails for whatever reason, even if
the reason occurs only after the indexing is complete. It may not be
obvious to the implementer of such a feature that "index-pack" could
sometimes write packs other than the indexed pack to the object DB,
but there are already other ways that "fetch" could write to the object
DB (in particular, packfile URIs and bundle URIs), so hopefully the
implementation of this future feature would already include a test that
the object DB be undisturbed.
This change requires the change to t5300 by 1f52cdfacb (index-pack:
document and test the --promisor option, 2022-03-09) to be undone.
(--promisor is already tested indirectly, so we don't need the explicit
test here any more.)
and CMD_TO_TWEAK_THE_STREAM undoes the modifications that the
replacement did, then at the end you'd get a replace ref that points to
itself. For example:
Avoid such problems by deleting replace refs that will simply end up
pointing to themselves at the end of our writing. Unless users specify
--quiet, warn them when we delete such a replace ref.
Two notes about this patch:
* We are not ignoring the problematic update of the replace ref
(turning it into a no-op), we are replacing the update with a delete.
The logic here is that if the repository had a value for the replace
ref before fast-import was run, and the replace ref was explicitly
named in the fast-import stream, we don't want the replace ref to be
left with a pre-fast-import value.
* While loops with more than one element (e.g. refs/replace/A points
to B, and refs/replace/B points to A) are possible, they seem much
less plausible. It is pretty easy to create a sequence of
git-filter-repo commands that will trigger a self-referencing replace
ref, but I do not know how to trigger a scenario with a cycle length
greater than 1.

But find_cached_object() also returns a hard-coded empty_tree object.
There we don't care about its oid field and instead compare against

object-file: drop confusing oid initializer of empty_tree struct
We treat the empty tree specially, providing an in-memory "cached" copy,
which allows you to diff against it even if the object doesn't exist in
the repository. This is implemented as part of the larger cached_object
subsystem, but we use a stand-alone empty_tree struct.
We initialize the oid of that struct using EMPTY_TREE_SHA1_BIN_LITERAL.
At first glance, that seems like a bug; how could this ever work for
sha256 repositories?
The answer is that we never look at the oid field! The oid field is used
to look up entries added by pretend_object_file() to the cached_objects
array. But for our stand-alone entry, we look for it independently using
the_hash_algo->empty_tree, which will point to the correct algo struct
for the repository.
This happened in 62ba93eaa9 (sha1_file: convert cached object code to
struct object_id, 2018-05-02), which even mentions that this field is
never used. Let's reduce confusion for anybody reading this code by
replacing the sha1 initializer with a comment. The resulting field will

and then use it to initialize the hash field of an object_id struct.
That hash field is exactly 32 bytes long (the size we need for sha256).
But the string literal above is actually 33 bytes long due to the NUL
terminator. This is legal in C, and the NUL is ignored.
Side note on legality: in general excess initializer elements are
forbidden, and gcc will warn on both of these:
I couldn't find specific language in the standard allowing
initialization from a string literal where _just_ the NUL is ignored,
but C99 section 6.7.8 (Initialization), paragraph 32 shows this exact
case as "example 8".
However, the upcoming gcc 15 will start warning for this case (when
compiled with -Wextra via DEVELOPER=1):
CC object-file.o

object-file.c:79:17: note: in expansion of macro ‘EMPTY_TREE_SHA256_BIN_LITERAL’
which is understandable. Even though this is not a bug for us, since we
do not care about the NUL terminator (and are just using the literal as
a convenient format), it would be easy to accidentally create an array
that was mistakenly unterminated.
We can avoid this warning by switching the initializer to an actual
array of unsigned values. That arguably demonstrates our intent more
clearly anyway.

In 30bf9f0aaa (cmake: set up proper dependencies for generated clar
headers, 2024-10-21), we have deduplicated the logic to generate our
clar headers by reusing the same scripts that our Makefile does. Despite
the deduplication, this refactoring also made us rebuild the headers in
case the source files change, which didn't happen previously.
The commit also introduced an issue though: we execute the scripts
directly, so when the host does not have "/bin/sh" available they will
fail. This is for example the case on Windows when importing the CMake
project into Microsoft Visual Studio.
Address the issue by invoking the scripts with `SH_EXE`, which contains

pack-objects: only perform verbatim reuse on the preferred pack
When reusing objects from source pack(s), write_reused_pack_verbatim()
is responsible for reusing objects whole eword_t's at a time. It works
by taking the longest continuous run of objects from the beginning of
each source pack that the caller wants, and reuses the entirety of that
section from each pack.
This is based on the assumption that we don't have any gaps within the
region. This assumption relieves us from having to patch any
OFS_DELTAs, since we know that there aren't any gaps between any delta
and its base in that region.
To illustrate why this assumption is necessary, suppose we have some
pack P, which has objects X, Y, and Z. If the MIDX's copy of Y was
selected from a pack other than P, then the bit corresponding to object
Y will appear earlier in the bitmap than the bits corresponding to X and
Z.
If pack-objects already has or will use the copy of Y from the pack it
was selected from in the MIDX, then it is an error to reuse all objects
between X and Z in the source pack. Doing so will cause us to reuse Y
from a different pack than the one which represents Y in the MIDX,
causing us to either:
- include the object twice, assuming that the caller wants Y in the
pack, or
- include the object once, resulting in us packing more objects than
necessary.
This regression comes from ca0fd69e37 (pack-objects: prepare
`write_reused_pack_verbatim()` for multi-pack reuse, 2023-12-14), which
incorrectly assumed that there would be no gaps in reusable regions of
non-preferred packs.
Instead, we can only safely perform the whole-word reuse optimization on
the preferred pack, where we know with certainty that no gaps exist in
that region of the bitmap. We can still reuse objects from non-preferred
packs, but we have to inspect them individually in write_reused_pack()
to ensure that any gaps that may exist are accounted for.
This allows us to simplify the implementation of
write_reused_pack_verbatim() back to almost its pre-multi-pack reuse
form, since we can now assume that the beginning of the pack appears at
the beginning of the bitmap, meaning that we don't have to account for
any bits up to the first word boundary (like we had to special case in ca0fd69e37).
The only significant changes from the pre-ca0fd69e37 implementation are:
- that we can no longer inspect words up to the end of
reuse_packfile_bitmap->word_alloc, since we only want to look at
words whose bits all correspond to objects in the given packfile, and
- that we return early when given a reuse_packfile which is not
preferred, making the call a noop.
In the future, it might be possible to restore this optimization if we
could guarantee that some reuse packs don't contain any gaps by
construction (similar to the "disjoint packs" idea in very early
versions of multi-pack reuse).

The former is responsible for copying the bytes for a single object out
of an existing source pack. The latter does the same but for a region of
objects aligned at eword_t boundaries.
Demonstrate a bug whereby write_reused_pack_verbatim() can be tricked
into writing out objects from some source pack, even when those objects
were selected from a different source pack in the MIDX bitmap.
When the caller wants at least one of the objects in that region,
pack-objects will write the same object twice as a result of this bug.
In the other case where the caller doesn't want any of the objects in
the region of interest, we will write out objects that weren't
requested.
Demonstrate this bug by creating two packs, where the preferred one of
those packs contains a single object which also appears in the main
(non-preferred) pack. A separate bug[^1] prevents us from triggering the
main bug when the duplicated object is the last one in the main pack,
but any earlier object will suffice.
We could fix that separate bug, but the following commit will simplify
write_reused_pack_verbatim() and only call it on the preferred pack, so
doing so would have little point.
[^1]: Because write_reused_pack_verbatim() only reuses bits in the range
/* We're recording one chunk, not one object. */
record_reused_object(pack_start_off,
pack_start_off - (hashfile_total(out) - pack_start));
, or in other words excluding the object beginning at position 'pos -
reuse_packfile->bitmap_pos' in the source pack. But since
reuse_packfile->bitmap_pos is '1' in the non-preferred pack
(accounting for the single-object pack which is preferred), we don't
actually copy the bytes from the last object.

refs: don't invoke reference-transaction hook for reflogs
The reference-transaction hook is invoked whenever there is a reference
update being performed. For each state of the transaction, we iterate
over the updates present and pass this information to the hook.
The `ref_update` structure is used to hold these updates within a
`transaction`. We use the same structure for holding reflog updates too.
Which means that the reference transaction hook is also obtaining
information about a reflog update. This is a bug, since:
- The hook is designed to work with reference updates and reflogs
updates are different.
- The hook doesn't have the required information to distinguish
reference updates from reflog updates.
This is particularly evident when the default branch (pointed by HEAD)
is updated, we see that the hook also receives information about HEAD
being changed. In reality, we only add a reflog update for HEAD, while
HEAD's values remains the same.

test-lib: move malloc-debug setup after $PATH setup
Originally, the conditional definition of the setup/teardown functions
for malloc checking could be run at any time, because they depended only
on command-line options and the system getconf function.
But since 02d900361c (test-lib: check malloc debug LD_PRELOAD before
using, 2024-11-11), we probe the system by running "git version". Since
this code runs before we've set $PATH to point to the version of Git we
intend to test, we actually run the system version of git.
This mostly works, since what we really care about is whether the
LD_PRELOAD works, and it should work the same with any program. But
there are some corner cases:
1. You might not have a system git at all, in which case the preload
will appear to fail, even though it could work with the actual
built version of git.
2. Your system git could be linked in a different way. For example, if
it was built statically, then it will ignore LD_PRELOAD entirely,
and we might assume that the preload works, even though it might
not when used with a dynamic build.
We could give a more complete path to the version of Git we intend to
test, but features like GIT_TEST_INSTALLED make that not entirely
trivial. So instead, let's just bump the setup until after we've set up
the $PATH. There's no need for us to do it early, as long as it is done

refspec: store raw refspecs inside refspec_item
The refspec struct keeps two matched arrays: one for the refspec_item
structs and one for the original raw refspec strings. The main reason
for this is that there are other users of refspec_item that do not care
about the raw strings. But it does make managing the refspec struct
awkward, as we must keep the two arrays in sync. This has led to bugs in
the past (both leaks and double-frees).
Let's just store a copy of the raw refspec string directly in each
refspec_item struct. This simplifies the handling at a small cost:
1. Direct callers of refspec_item_init() will now get an extra copy of
the refspec string, even if they don't need it. This should be
negligible, as the struct is already allocating two strings for the
parsed src/dst values (and we tend to only do it sparingly anyway
for things like the TAG_REFSPEC literal).
2. Users of refspec_appendf() will now generate a temporary string,
copy it, and then free the result (versus handing off ownership of
the temporary string). We could get around this by having a "nodup"
variant of refspec_item_init(), but it doesn't seem worth the extra
complexity for something that is not remotely a hot code path.
Code which accesses refspec->raw now needs to look at refspec->item.raw.
Other callers which just use refspec_item directly can remain the same.
We'll free the allocated string in refspec_item_clear(), which they
should be calling anyway to free src/dst.
One subtle note: refspec_item_init() can return an error, in which case
we'll still have set its "raw" field. But that is also true of the "src"
and "dst" fields, so any caller which does not _clear() the failed item
is already potentially leaking. In practice most code just calls die()
on an error anyway, but you can see the exception in valid_fetch_refspec(),
which does correctly call _clear() even on error.

refspec: drop separate raw_nr count
A refspec struct contains zero or more refspec_item structs, along with
matching "raw" strings. The items and raw strings are kept in separate
arrays, but those arrays will always have the same length (because we
write them only via refspec_append_nodup(), which grows both). This can
lead to bugs when manipulating the array, since the arrays and lengths
must be modified in lockstep. For example, the bug fixed in the previous
commit, which forgot to decrement raw_nr.
So let's get rid of "raw_nr" and have only "nr", making this kind of bug
impossible (and also making it clear that the two are always matched,
something that existing code already assumed but was not guaranteed by
the interface).
Even though we'd expect "alloc" and "raw_alloc" to likewise move in
lockstep, we still need to keep separate counts there if we want to
continue to use ALLOC_GROW() for both.
Conceptually this would all be simpler if refspec_item just held onto
its own raw string, and we had a single array. But there are callers
which use refspec_item outside of "struct refspec" (and so don't hold on
to a matching "raw" string at all), which we'd possibly need to adjust.
So let's not worry about refactoring that for now, and just get rid of
the redundant count variable. That is the first step on the road to
combining them anyway.

fetch: adjust refspec->raw_nr when filtering prefetch refspecs
In filter_prefetch_refspecs(), we may remove one or more refspecs if
they point into refs/tags/. When we do, we remove the item from the
refspec->items array, shifting subsequent items down, and then decrement
the refspec->nr count.
We also remove the item from the refspec->raw array, but fail to
decrement refspec->raw_nr. This leaves us with a count that is too high,
and anybody looking at the "raw" array will erroneously see either:
1. The removed entry, if there were no subsequent items to shift down.
2. A duplicate of the final entry, as everything is shifted down but
there was nothing to overwrite the final item.
The obvious culprit to run into this is calling refspec_clear(), which
will try to free the removed entry (case 1) or double-free the final
entry (case 2). But even though the bug has existed since the function
was added in 2e03115d0c (fetch: add --prefetch option, 2021-04-16), we
did not trigger it in the test suite. The --prefetch option is normally
only used with configured refspecs, and we never bother to call
refspec_clear() on those (they are stored as part of a struct remote,
which is held in a global variable).
Ironically you couldn't trigger case 1, because the code accidentally
leaked the string in the raw array, and the two bugs (the leak and the
double-free) cancelled out. But when we fixed the leak in ea4780307c
(fetch: free "raw" string when shrinking refspec, 2024-09-24), it became
possible to trigger that, too, with a single item:
git fetch --prefetch . refs/tags/foo
We can fix both cases by just correctly decrementing "raw_nr" when we
shrink the array. Even though we don't expect people to use --prefetch
with command-line refspecs, we'll add a test to make sure it behaves
well (like the test just before it, we're just confirming that the
filtered prefetch succeeds at all).

index-pack: repack local links into promisor packs
Teach index-pack to, when processing the objects in a pack with
--promisor specified on the CLI, repack local objects (and the local
objects that they refer to, recursively) referenced by these objects
into promisor packs.
This prevents the situation in which, when fetching from a promisor
remote, we end up with promisor objects (newly fetched) referring
to non-promisor objects (locally created prior to the fetch). This
situation may arise if the client had previously pushed objects to the
remote, for example. One issue that arises in this situation is that,
if the non-promisor objects become inaccessible except through promisor
objects (for example, if the branch pointing to them has moved to
point to the promisor object that refers to them), then GC will garbage
collect them. There are other ways to solve this, but the simplest
seems to be to enforce the invariant that we don't have promisor objects
referring to non-promisor objects.
This repacking is done from index-pack to minimize the performance
impact. During a fetch, the only time most objects are fully inflated
in memory is when their object ID is computed, so we also scan the
objects (to see which objects they refer to) during this time.
Also to minimize the performance impact, an object is calculated to be
local if it's a loose object or present in a non-promisor pack. (If it's
also in a promisor pack or referred to by an object in a promisor pack,
it is technically already a promisor object. But a misidentification
of a promisor object as a non-promisor object is relatively benign
here - we will thus repack that promisor object into a promisor pack,
duplicating it in the object store, but there is no correctness issue,
just an issue of inefficiency.)

do that when we detect glibc, but it's possible to have glibc but not
the malloc debug library. In that case LD_PRELOAD will complain to
stderr, and tests which check for an empty stderr will fail.
You can work around this by setting TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK, which disables
