revision: implement `git log --merge` also for rebase/cherry-pick/revert
'git log' learned in ae3e5e1ef2 (git log -p --merge [[--] paths...],

HEAD...MERGE_HEAD, an addition documented in d249b45547 (Document
rev-list's option --merge, 2006-08-04).
It can be useful to look at the commit history to understand what lead
to merge conflicts also for other mergy operations besides merges, like
cherry-pick, revert and rebase.
For rebases and cherry-picks, an interesting range to look at is
HEAD...{REBASE_HEAD,CHERRY_PICK_HEAD}, since even if all the commits
included in that range are not directly part of the 3-way merge,
conflicts encountered during these operations can indeed be caused by
changes introduced in preceding commits on both sides of the history.
For revert, as we are (most likely) reversing changes from a previous
commit, an appropriate range is REVERT_HEAD..HEAD, which is equivalent
to REVERT_HEAD...HEAD and to HEAD...REVERT_HEAD, if we keep HEAD and its
parents on the left side of the range.
As such, adjust the code in prepare_show_merge so it constructs the
range HEAD...$OTHER for OTHER={MERGE_HEAD, CHERRY_PICK_HEAD, REVERT_HEAD
or REBASE_HEAD}. Note that we try these pseudorefs in order, so keep
REBASE_HEAD last since the three other operations can be performed
during a rebase. Note also that in the uncommon case where $OTHER and
HEAD do not share a common ancestor, this will show the complete
histories of both sides since their root commits, which is the same
behaviour as currently happens in that case for HEAD and MERGE_HEAD.
Adjust the documentation of this option accordingly.

refs/reftable: don't fail empty transactions in repo without HEAD
Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't ever happen that a repository
has no HEAD reference. In fact, git-update-ref(1) would fail any request
to delete the HEAD reference, and a newly initialized repository always
pre-creates it, too.
We have however changed git-clone(1) to partially initialize the
refdb just up to the point where remote helpers can find the
repository. With that change, we are going to run into a situation
where repositories have no refs at all.
Now there is a very particular edge case in this situation: when
preparing an empty ref transacton, we end up returning whatever value
`read_ref_without_reload()` returned to the caller. Under normal
conditions this would be fine: "HEAD" should usually exist, and thus the
function would return `0`. But if "HEAD" doesn't exist, the function
returns a positive value which we end up returning to the caller.
Fix this bug by resetting the return code to `0` and add a test.

builtin/clone: allow remote helpers to detect repo
In 18c9cb7524 (builtin/clone: create the refdb with the correct object
format, 2023-12-12), we have changed git-clone(1) so that it delays
creation of the refdb until after it has learned about the remote's
object format. This change was required for the reftable backend, which
encodes the object format into the tables. So if we pre-initialized the
refdb with the default object format, but the remote uses a different
object format than that, then the resulting tables would have encoded
the wrong object format.
This change unfortunately breaks remote helpers which try to access the
repository that is about to be created. Because the refdb has not yet
been initialized at the point where we spawn the remote helper, we also
don't yet have "HEAD" or "refs/". Consequently, any Git commands ran by
the remote helper which try to access the repository would fail because
it cannot be discovered.
This is essentially a chicken-and-egg problem: we cannot initialize the
refdb because we don't know about the object format. But we cannot learn
about the object format because the remote helper may be unable to
access the partially-initialized repository.
Ideally, we would address this issue via capabilities. But the remote
helper protocol is not structured in a way that guarantees that the
capability announcement happens before the remote helper tries to access
the repository.
Instead, fix this issue by partially initializing the refdb up to the
point where it becomes discoverable by Git commands.

doc: clarify the wording on <git-compat-util.h> requirement
The reason why we require the <git-compat-util.h> file to be the
first header file to be included is because it insulates other
header files and source files from platform differences, like which
system header files must be included in what order, and what C
preprocessor feature macros must be defined to trigger certain
features we want out of the system.
We tried to clarify the rule in the coding guidelines document, but
the wording was a bit fuzzy that can lead to misinterpretations like
you can include <xdiff/xinclude.h> only to avoid having to include
<git-compat-util.h> even if you have nothing to do with the xdiff
implementation, for example. "You do not have to include more than
one of these" was also misleading and would have been puzzling if
you _needed_ to depend on more than one of these approved headers
(answer: you are allowed to include them all if you need the
declarations in them for reasons other than that you want to avoid
including compat-util yourself).
Instead of using the phrase "approved headers", enumerate them as
exceptions, each labeled with its intended audiences, to avoid such
misinterpretations. The structure also makes it easier to add new
exceptions, so add the description of "t/unit-tests/test-lib.h"
being an exception only for the unit tests implementation as an

read_ref_at(): special-case ref@{0} for an empty reflog
The previous commit special-cased get_oid_basic()'s handling of ref@{n}
for a reflog with n entries. But its special case doesn't work for
ref@{0} in an empty reflog, because read_ref_at() dies when it notices
the empty reflog!
We can make this work by special-casing this in read_ref_at(). It's
somewhat gross, for two reasons:
1. We have no reflog entry to describe in the "msg" out-parameter. So
we have to leave it uninitialized or make something up.
2. Likewise, we have no oid to put in the "oid" out-parameter. Leaving
it untouched is actually the best thing here, as all of the callers
will have initialized it with the current ref value via
repo_dwim_log(). This is rather subtle, but it is how things worked
in 6436a20284 (refs: allow @{n} to work with n-sized reflog,
2021-01-07) before we reverted it.
The key difference from 6436a20284 here is that we'll return "1" to
indicate that we _didn't_ find the requested reflog entry. Coupled with
the special-casing in get_oid_basic() in the previous commit, that's
enough to make looking up ref@{0} work, and we can flip 6436a20284's
test back to expect_success.
It also means that the call in show-branch which segfaulted with 6436a20284 (and which is now tested in t3202) remains OK. The caller
notices that we could not find any reflog entry, and so it breaks out of
its loop, showing nothing. This is different from the current behavior
of producing an error, but it's just as reasonable (and is exactly what
we'd do if you asked it to walk starting at ref@{1} but there was only 1
entry).
Thus nobody should actually look at the reflog entry info we return. But
we'll still put in some fake values just to be on the safe side, since
this is such a subtle and confusing interface. Likewise, we'll document
what's going on in a comment above the function declaration. If this
were a function with a lot of callers, the footgun would probably not be
worth it. But it has only ever had two callers in its 18-year existence,
and it seems unlikely to grow more. So let's hold our noses and let
users enjoy the convenience of a simulated ref@{0}.

get_oid_basic(): special-case ref@{n} for oldest reflog entry
The goal of 6436a20284 (refs: allow @{n} to work with n-sized reflog,
2021-01-07) was that if we have "n" entries in a reflog, we should still
be able to resolve ref@{n} by looking at the "old" value of the oldest
entry.
Commit 6436a20284 tried to put the logic into read_ref_at() by shifting
its idea of "n" by one. But we reverted that in the previous commit,
since it led to bugs in other callers which cared about the details of
the reflog entry we found. Instead, let's put the special case into the
caller that resolves @{n}, as it cares only about the oid.
read_ref_at() is even kind enough to return the "old" value from the
final reflog; it just returns "1" to signal to us that we ran off the
end of the reflog. But we can notice in the caller that we read just
enough records for that "old" value to be the one we're looking for, and
use it.
Note that read_ref_at() could notice this case, too, and just return 0.
But we don't want to do that, because the caller must be made aware that
we only found the oid, not an actual reflog entry (and the call sites in
show-branch do care about this).
There is one complication, though. When read_ref_at() hits a truncated
reflog, it will return the "old" value of the oldest entry only if it is
not the null oid. Otherwise, it actually returns the "new" value from
that entry! This bit of fudging is due to d1a4489a56 (avoid null SHA1 in
oldest reflog, 2008-07-08), where asking for "ref@{20.years.ago}" for a
ref created recently will produce the initial value as a convenience
(even though technically it did not exist 20 years ago).
But this convenience is only useful for time-based cutoffs. For
count-based cutoffs, get_oid_basic() has always simply complained about
going too far back:
$ git rev-parse HEAD@{20}
fatal: log for 'HEAD' only has 16 entries
and we should continue to do so, rather than returning a nonsense value
(there's even a test in t1508 already which covers this). So let's have
the d1a4489a56 code kick in only when doing timestamp-based cutoffs.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The idea of that commit is that if read_ref_at() is counting back to the
Nth reflog but the reflog is short by one entry (e.g., because it was
pruned), we can find the oid of the missing entry by looking at the
"before" oid value of the entry that comes after it (whereas before, we
looked at the "after" value of each entry and complained that we
couldn't find the one from before the truncation).
This works fine for resolving the oid of ref@{n}, as it is used by
get_oid_basic(), which does not look at any other aspect of the reflog
we found (e.g., its timestamp or message). But there's another caller of
read_ref_at(): in show-branch we use it to walk over the reflog, and we
do care about the reflog entry. And so that commit broke "show-branch
--reflog"; it shows the reflog message for ref@{0} as ref@{1}, ref@{1}
as ref@{2}, and so on.
For example, in the new test in t3202 we produce:
! [branch@{0}] (0 seconds ago) commit: three
! [branch@{1}] (0 seconds ago) commit: three
! [branch@{2}] (60 seconds ago) commit: two
! [branch@{3}] (2 minutes ago) reset: moving to HEAD^
instead of the correct:
! [branch@{0}] (0 seconds ago) commit: three
! [branch@{1}] (60 seconds ago) commit: two
! [branch@{2}] (2 minutes ago) reset: moving to HEAD^
! [branch@{3}] (2 minutes ago) commit: one
But there's another bug, too: because it is looking at the "old" value
of the reflog after the one we're interested in, it has to special-case
ref@{0} (since there isn't anything after it). That's why it doesn't
show the offset bug in the output above. But this special-case code
fails to handle the situation where the reflog is empty or missing; it
returns success even though the reflog message out-parameter has been
left uninitialized. You can't trigger this through get_oid_basic(), but
"show-branch --reflog" will pretty reliably segfault as it tries to
access the garbage pointer.
Fixing the segfault would be pretty easy. But the off-by-one problem is
inherent in this approach. So let's start by reverting the commit to
give us a clean slate to work with.
This isn't a pure revert; all of the code changes are reverted, but for
the tests:
1. We'll flip the cases in t1508 to expect_failure; making these work
was the goal of 6436a2028, and we'll want to use them for our
replacement approach.
2. There's a test in t3202 for "show-branch --reflog", but it expects
the broken output! It was added by f2463490c4 (show-branch: show
reflog message, 2021-12-02) which was fixing another bug, and I
think the author simply didn't notice that the second line showed
the wrong reflog.
Rather than fixing that test, let's replace it with one that is
more thorough (while still covering the reflog message fix from
that commit). We'll use a longer reflog, which lets us see more
entries (thus making the "off by one" pattern much more clear). And
we'll use a more recent timestamp for "now" so that our relative
dates have more resolution. That lets us see that the reflog dates
are correct (whereas when you are 4 years away, two entries that
are 60 seconds apart will have the same "4 years ago" relative
date). Because we're adjusting the repository state, I've moved
this new test to the end of the script, leaving the other tests
undisturbed.
We'll also add a new test which covers the missing reflog case;
previously it segfaulted, but now it reports the empty reflog).

upload-pack: don't send null character in abort message to the client
Since 583b7ea31b (upload-pack/fetch-pack: support side-band
communication, 2006-06-21) the abort message sent by upload-pack in
case of possible repository corruption ends with a null character.
This can be seen in several test cases in 't5530-upload-pack-error.sh'
where 'grep <pattern> output.err' often reports "Binary file
output.err matches" because of that null character.
The reason for this is that the abort message is defined as a string
literal, and we pass its size to the send function as
sizeof(abort_msg), which also counts the terminating null character.
Use strlen() instead to avoid sending that terminating null character.

userdiff: skip textconv caching when not in a repository
The textconv caching system uses git-notes to store its cache entries.
But if you're using "diff --no-index" outside of a repository, then
obviously that isn't going to work.
Since caching is just an optimization, it's OK for us to skip it.
However, the current behavior is much worse: we call notes_cache_init()

killing the program. Instead, we should notice before setting up the

name-rev: use mem_pool_strfmt()

we also parse the contents of the pseudoref to ensure that it conforms

We cannot directly add the new syntax checks to `is_pseudoref_syntax()`

making it stricter to match only known pseudorefs might have unintended
consequences due to files like 'BISECT_START' which isn't a pseudoref
but sometimes contains object ID.
Keeping this in mind, we leave `is_pseudoref_syntax()` as is and create
`is_pseudoref()` which is stricter. Ideally we'd want to move the new
syntax checks to `is_pseudoref_syntax()` but a prerequisite for this
would be to actually remove the exception list by converting those
pseudorefs to also contain a '_HEAD' suffix and perhaps move bisect
related files like 'BISECT_START' to a new directory similar to the

provide other means for callers to discern between error conditions).

builtin/reflog: introduce subcommand to list reflogs
While the git-reflog(1) command has subcommands to show reflog entries
or check for reflog existence, it does not have any subcommands that
would allow the user to enumerate all existing reflogs. This makes it
quite hard to discover which reflogs a repository has. While this can
be worked around with the "files" backend by enumerating files in the
".git/logs" directory, users of the "reftable" backend don't enjoy such
a luxury.
Introduce a new subcommand `git reflog list` that lists all reflogs the
repository knows of to fill this gap.
Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The reflog iterator tries to resolve the corresponding ref for every
reflog that it is about to yield. Historically, this was done due to
multiple reasons:
- It ensures that the refname is safe because we end up calling
`check_refname_format()`. Also, non-conformant refnames are skipped
altogether.
- The iterator used to yield the resolved object ID as well as its
flags to the callback. This info was never used though, and the
corresponding parameters were dropped in the preceding commit.
- When a ref is corrupt then the reflog is not emitted at all.
We're about to introduce a new `git reflog list` subcommand that will
print all reflogs that the refdb knows about. Skipping over reflogs
whose refs are corrupted would be quite counterproductive in this case
as the user would have no way to learn about reflogs which may still
exist in their repository to help and rescue such a corrupted ref. Thus,
the only remaining reason for why we'd want to resolve the ref is to
verify its refname.
Refactor the code to call `check_refname_format()` directly instead of
trying to resolve the ref. This is significantly more efficient given
that we don't have to hit the object database anymore to list reflogs.
And second, it ensures that we end up showing reflogs of broken refs,
which will help to make the reflog more useful.
Note that this really only impacts the case where the corresponding ref
is corrupt. Reflogs for nonexistent refs would have been returned to the
caller beforehand already as we did not pass `RESOLVE_REF_READING` to
the function, and thus `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()` would have returned
successfully in that case.

refs: drop unused params from the reflog iterator callback
The ref and reflog iterators share much of the same underlying code to
iterate over the corresponding entries. This results in some weird code
because the reflog iterator also exposes an object ID as well as a flag
to the callback function. Neither of these fields do refer to the reflog
though -- they refer to the corresponding ref with the same name. This
is quite misleading. In practice at least the object ID cannot really be
implemented in any other way as a reflog does not have a specific object
ID in the first place. This is further stressed by the fact that none of
the callbacks except for our test helper make use of these fields.
Split up the infrastucture so that ref and reflog iterators use separate
callback signatures. This allows us to drop the nonsensical fields from
the reflog iterator.
Note that internally, the backends still use the same shared infra to
iterate over both types. As the backends should never end up being
called directly anyway, this is not much of a problem and thus kept
as-is for simplicity's sake.

refs/files: sort merged worktree and common reflogs
When iterating through reflogs in a worktree we create a merged iterator
that merges reflogs from both refdbs. The resulting refs are ordered so
that instead we first return all worktree reflogs before we return all
common refs.
This is the only remaining case where a ref iterator returns entries in
a non-lexicographic order. The result would look something like the
following (listed with a command we introduce in a subsequent commit):
```
$ git reflog list
HEAD
refs/worktree/per-worktree
refs/heads/main
refs/heads/wt
```
So we first print the per-worktree reflogs in lexicographic order, then
the common reflogs in lexicographic order. This is confusing and not
consistent with how we print per-worktree refs, which are exclusively
sorted lexicographically.
Sort reflogs lexicographically in the same way as we sort normal refs.
As this is already implemented properly by the "reftable" backend via a
separate selection function, we simply pull out that logic and reuse it
for the "files" backend. As logs are properly sorted now, mark the
merged reflog iterator as sorted.
Tests will be added in a subsequent commit.
