1b374ad71f (add-interactive: stop using `the_repository`, 2024-12-17)
replaced explicit uses of the_repository. parse_tree_indirect() uses it
internally, though, so call repo_parse_tree_indirect() instead and hand
it the correct repository.

The config setting core.maxTreeDepth is stored in a global variable and
populated by the function git_default_core_config. This won't work if
we need to access multiple repositories with different values of that
setting in the same process. Store the setting in struct repo_settings
instead and track it separately for each repository.

In https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/2637, we fixed a bug
where symbolic links' target path sizes were recorded incorrectly in the
index. The downside of this fix was that every user with tracked
symbolic links in their checkouts would see them as modified in `git
status`, but not in `git diff`, and only a `git add <path>` (or `git add
-u`) would "fix" this.
Let's do better than that: we can detect that situation and simply
pretend that a symbolic link with a known bad size (or a size that just
happens to be that bad size, a _very_ unlikely scenario because it would
overflow our buffers due to the trailing NUL byte) means that it needs
to be re-checked as if we had just checked it out.

When creating directories via `safe_create_leading_directories()`, we
might encounter an already-existing directory which is not
readable by the current user. To handle that situation, Git's code calls
`stat()` to determine whether we're looking at a directory.
In such a case, `CreateFile()` will fail, though, no matter what, and
consequently `mingw_stat()` will fail, too. But POSIX semantics seem to
still allow `stat()` to go forward.
So let's call `mingw_lstat()` to the rescue if we fail to get a file
handle due to denied permission in `mingw_stat()`, and fill the stat
info that way.
We need to be careful to not allow this to go forward in case that we're
looking at a symbolic link: to resolve the link, we would still have to
create a file handle, and we just found out that we cannot. Therefore,
`stat()` still needs to fail with `EACCES` in that case.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2531.

As of Windows 10 Build 14972 in Developer Mode, a new flag is supported
by `CreateSymbolicLink()` to create symbolic links even when running
outside of an elevated session (which was previously required).
This new flag is called `SYMBOLIC_LINK_FLAG_ALLOW_UNPRIVILEGED_CREATE`
and has the numeric value 0x02.
Previous Windows 10 versions will not understand that flag and return
an `ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER`, therefore we have to be careful to try
passing that flag only when the build number indicates that it is
supported.
For more information about the new flag, see this blog post:

Symlinks on Windows have a flag that indicates whether the target is a
file or a directory. Symlinks of wrong type simply don't work. This even
affects core Win32 APIs (e.g. `DeleteFile()` refuses to delete directory
symlinks).
However, `CreateFile()` with FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS does work. Check
the target type by first creating a tentative file symlink, opening it,
and checking the type of the resulting handle. If it is a directory,
recreate the symlink with the directory flag set.
It is possible to create symlinks before the target exists (or in case
of symlinks to symlinks: before the target type is known). If this
happens, create a tentative file symlink and postpone the directory
decision: keep a list of phantom symlinks to be processed whenever a new
directory is created in `mingw_mkdir()`.
Limitations: This algorithm may fail if a link target changes from file
to directory or vice versa, or if the target directory is created in
another process. It's the best Git can do, though.

Implement `symlink()`. This implementation always creates _file_
symlinks (remember: Windows discerns between symlinks pointing to
directories and those pointing to files). Support for directory symlinks
will be added in a subseqeuent commit.
This implementation fails with `ENOSYS` if symlinks are disabled or
unsupported.

If symlinks are enabled, resolve all symlinks when changing directories,
as required by POSIX.
Note: Git's `real_path()` function bases its link resolution algorithm
on this property of `chdir()`. Unfortunately, the current directory on
Windows is limited to only MAX_PATH (260) characters. Therefore using
symlinks and long paths in combination may be problematic.

Older MSVCRT's `_wrename()` function cannot rename symlinks over
existing files: it returns success without doing anything. Newer
MSVCR*.dll versions probably do not share this problem: according to CRT
sources, they just call `MoveFileEx()` with the `MOVEFILE_COPY_ALLOWED`
flag.
Avoid the `_wrename()` call, and go with directly calling
`MoveFileEx()`, with proper error handling of course.

The `_wunlink()` and `DeleteFileW()` functions refuse to delete symlinks
to directories on Windows; The error code would be `ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED`
in that case. Take that error code as an indicator that we need to try
`_wrmdir()` as well. In the best case, it will remove a symlink. In the
worst case, it will fail with the same error code again.

The Win32 API calls do not set `errno`; Instead, error codes for failed
operations must be obtained via the `GetLastError()` function. Git would
not know what to do with those error values, though, which is why Git's
Windows compatibility layer translates them to `errno` values.
Let's handle a couple of symlink-related error codes that will become
relevant with the upcoming support for symlinks on Windows.

Symlinks on Windows don't work the same way as on Unix systems. For
example, there are different types of symlinks for directories and
files, and unless using a recent-ish Windows version in Developer Mode,
creating symlinks requires administrative privileges.
By default, disable symlink support on Windows. That is, users
explicitly have to enable it with `git config [--system|--global]
core.symlinks true`; For convenience, `git init` (and `git clone`)
will perform a test whether the current setup allows creating symlinks
and will configure that setting in the repository config.
The test suite ignores system / global config files. Allow
testing *with* symlink support by checking if native symlinks are
enabled in MSYS2 (via setting the special environment variable
`MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict` to ask the MSYS2 runtime to enable
creating symlinks).
Note: This assumes that Git's test suite is run in MSYS2's Bash, which
is true for the time being (an experiment to switch to BusyBox-w32
failed due to the experimental nature of BusyBox-w32).

In several places, Git's Windows-specific code follows the pattern where
it tries to perform an operation, and retries several times when that
operation fails, sleeping an increasing amount of time, before finally
giving up and asking the user whether to rety (after, say, closing an
editor that held a handle to a file, preventing the operation from
succeeding).
This logic is a bit hard to use, and inconsistent:
`mingw_unlink()` and `mingw_rmdir()` duplicate the code to retry,
and both of them do so incompletely. They also do not restore `errno` if the
user answers 'no'.
Introduce a `retry_ask_yes_no()` helper function that handles retry with
small delay, asking the user, and restoring `errno`.
Note that in `mingw_unlink()`, we include the `_wchmod()` call in the
retry loop (which may fail if the file is locked exclusively).
In `mingw_rmdir()`, we include special error handling in the retry loop.

POSIX specifies that upon successful return from `lstat()`: "the
value of the st_size member shall be set to the length of the pathname
contained in the symbolic link not including any terminating null byte".
Git typically doesn't trust the `stat.st_size` member of symlinks (e.g.
see `strbuf_readlink()`). Therefore, it is tempting to save on the extra
overhead of opening and reading the reparse point merely to calculate
the exact size of the link target.
This is, in fact, what Git for Windows did, from May 2015 to May 2020.
At least almost: some functions take shortcuts if `st_size` is 0 (e.g.
`diff_populate_filespec()`), hence Git for Windows hard-coded the length
of all symlinks to MAX_PATH.
This did cause problems, though, specifically in Git repositories
that were also accessed by Git for Cygwin or Git for WSL. For example,
doing `git reset --hard` using Git for Windows would update the size of
symlinks in the index to be MAX_PATH; at a later time Git for Cygwin
or Git for WSL would find that symlinks have changed size during `git
status` and update the index. And then Git for Windows would think that
the index needs to be updated. Even if the symlinks did not, in fact,
change. To avoid that, the correct size must be determined.

When obtaining lstat information for reparse points, we need to call
`FindFirstFile()` in addition to `GetFileInformationEx()` to obtain
the type of the reparse point (symlink, mount point etc.). However,
currently there is no error handling whatsoever if `FindFirstFile()`
fails.
Call `FindFirstFile()` before modifying the `stat *buf` output parameter
and error out if the call fails.
Note: The `FindFirstFile()` return value includes all the data
that we get from `GetFileAttributesEx()`, so we could replace
`GetFileAttributesEx()` with `FindFirstFile()`. We don't do that because
`GetFileAttributesEx()` is about twice as fast for single files. I.e.
we only pay the extra cost of calling `FindFirstFile()` in the rare case
that we encounter a reparse point.
Please also note that the indentation the remaining reparse point
code changed, and hence the best way to look at this diff is with
`--color-moved -w`. That code was _not_ moved because a subsequent
commit will move it to an altogether different function, anyway.

With respect to symlinks, the current `mingw_stat()` implementation is
almost identical to `mingw_lstat()`: except for the file type (`st_mode
& S_IFMT`), it returns information about the link rather than the target.
Implement `mingw_stat()` by opening the file handle requesting minimal
permissions, and then calling `GetFileInformationByHandle()` on it. This
way, all links are resolved by the Windows file system layer.

The Win32 API function `GetFileAttributes()` cannot handle paths with
trailing dir separators. The current `mingw_stat()`/`mingw_lstat()`
implementation calls `GetFileAttributes()` twice if the path has
trailing slashes (first with the original path that was passed as
function parameter, and and a second time with a path copy with trailing
'/' removed).
With the conversion to wide Unicode, we get the length of the path for
free, and also have a (wide char) buffer that can be modified. This
makes it easy to avoid that extraneous Win32 API call.

Currently, this function hard-codes the directory separator as the
forward slash.
However, on Windows the backslash character is valid, too. And we want
to call this function in the upcoming support for symlinks on Windows
with the symlink targets (which naturally use the canonical directory
separator on Windows, which is _not_ the forward slash).
Prepare that function to be useful also in that context.

The `strbuf_readlink()` function refuses to read link targets that
exceed 2*PATH_MAX (even if a sufficient size was specified by the
caller).
The reason that that limit is 2*PATH_MAX instead of PATH_MAX is that
the symlink targets do not need to be normalized. After running
`ln -s a/../a/../a/../a/../b c`, the target of the symlink `c` will not
be normalized to `b` but instead be much longer. As such, symlink
targets' lengths can far exceed PATH_MAX.
They are frequently much longer than 2*PATH_MAX on Windows, which
actually supports paths up to 32,767 characters, but sets PATH_MAX to
260 for backwards compatibility. For full details, see
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation
Let's just hard-code the limit used by `strbuf_readlink()` to 32,767 and
make it independent of the current platform's PATH_MAX.

The `strbuf_readlink()` function calls `readlink()`` twice if the hint
argument specifies the exact size of the link target (e.g. by passing
stat.st_size as returned by `lstat()`). This is necessary because
`readlink(..., hint) == hint` could mean that the buffer was too small.
Use `hint + 1` as buffer size to prevent this.

In Git for Windows, `has_symlinks` is set to 0 by default. Therefore, we
need to parse the config setting `core.symlinks` to know if it has been
set to `true`. In `git init`, we must do that before copying the
templates because they might contain symbolic links.
Even if the support for symbolic links on Windows has not made it to
upstream Git yet, we really should make sure that all the `core.*`
settings are parsed before proceeding, as they might very well change
the behavior of `git init` in a way the user intended.

As pointed out in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1676,
the `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree` command currently fails when
the current directory's path contains symbolic links.
The underlying reason for this bug is that `getcwd()` is supposed to
resolve symbolic links, but our `mingw_getcwd()` implementation did not.
We do have all the building blocks for that, though: the
`GetFinalPathByHandleW()` function will resolve symbolic links. However,
we only called that function if `GetLongPathNameW()` failed, for
historical reasons: the latter function was supported for a long time,
but the former API function was introduced only with Windows Vista, and
we used to support also Windows XP. With that support having been
dropped, we are free to call the symbolic link-resolving function right
away.

Fsck has a race when operating on live repositories; consider the
following simple script that writes new commits as fsck runs:
#!/bin/bash
git fsck &
PID=$!
while ps -p $PID >/dev/null; do
sleep 3
git commit -q --allow-empty -m "Another commit"
done
Since fsck walks objects for connectivity and then reads the refs at the
end to check, this can cause fsck to get confused and think that the new
refs refer to missing commits and that new reflog entries are invalid.

We can minimize the race opportunities by taking a snapshot of refs at
program invocation, doing the connectivity check, and then checking the
snapshotted refs afterward. This avoids races with regular refs between
fsck and adding objects to the database, though it still leaves a race
between a gc and fsck. We are less concerned about folks simultaneously
running gc with fsck; though, if it becomes an issue, we could lock fsck
during gc. We definitely do not want to lock fsck during operations
that may add objects to the object store; that would be problematic for
forges.
Note that refs aren't the only problem, though; reflog entries and index
entries could be problematic as well. For now we punt on index entries
just leaving a TODO comment, and for reflogs we use a coarse solution of
taking the time at the beginning of the program and ignoring reflog
entries newer than that time. That may be imperfect if dealing with a
network filesystem, so we leave TODO comment for those that want to
improve that handling as well.
As a high level overview:
* In addition to fsck_handle_ref(), which now is only a few lines long
to process a ref, there's also a snapshot_ref() which is called
early in the program for each ref and takes all the error checking
logic.
* The iterating over refs that used to be in get_default_heads() plus
a loop over the arguments now appears in shapshot_refs().
* There's a new process_refs() as well that kind of looks like the old
get_default_heads() though it is streamlined due to the work done by
snapshot_refs().
This combination of changes modifies the output of running the script
(from the beginning of this commit message) to:
$ ./fsck-while-writing.sh
Checking ref database: 100% (1/1), done.
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.

While worries about live updates while running fsck is likely of most
interest for forge operators, it may also benefit those with
automated jobs (such as git maintenance) or even casual users who want
to do other work in their clone while fsck is running.

The function `find_pack_entry()` doesn't work on a specific packfile
store, but instead works on the whole repository. This causes a bit of a
conceptual mismatch in its callers:
- `packfile_store_freshen_object()` supposedly acts on a store, and
its callers know to iterate through all sources already.
- `packfile_store_read_object_info()` behaves likewise.
The only exception that doesn't know to handle iteration through sources
is `has_object_pack()`, but that function is trivial to adapt.
Refactor the code so that `find_pack_entry()` works on the packfile
store level instead.

The `find_kept_pack_entry()` function is only used in
`has_object_kept_pack()`, which is only a trivial wrapper itself. Inline
the latter into the former.
Furthermore, reorder the code so that we can drop the declaration of the
function in "packfile.h". This allows us to make the function file-local.

When calling `packfile_store_prepare()` we prepare not only the provided
packfile store, but also all those of all other sources part of the same
object database. This was required when the store was still sitting on
the object database level. But now that it sits on the source level it's
not anymore.
Refactor the code so that we only prepare the single packfile store
passed by the caller. Adapt callers accordingly.

The packfile store is a member of `struct object_database`, which means
that we have a single store per database. This doesn't really make much
sense though: each source connected to the database has its own set of
packfiles, so there is a conceptual mismatch here. This hasn't really
caused much of a problem in the past, but with the advent of pluggable
object databases this is becoming more of a problem because some of the
sources may not even use packfiles in the first place.
Move the packfile store down by one level from the object database into
the object database source. This ensures that each source now has its
own packfile store, and we can eventually start to abstract it away
entirely so that the caller doesn't even know what kind of store it
uses.
Note that we only need to adjust a relatively small number of callers,
way less than one might expect. This is because most callers are using
`repo_for_each_pack()`, which handles enumeration of all packfiles that
exist in the repository. So for now, none of these callers need to be
adapted. The remaining callers that iterate through the packfiles
directly and that need adjustment are those that are a bit more tangled
with packfiles. These will be adjusted over time.
Note that this patch only moves the packfile store, and there is still a
bunch of functions that seemingly operate on a packfile store but that
end up iterating over all sources. These will be adjusted in subsequent
commits.

The function `unuse_one_window()` is responsible for unmapping one of
the packfile windows, which is done when we have exceeded the allowed
number of window.
The function receives a `struct packed_git` as input, which serves as an
additional packfile that should be considered to be closed. If not
given, we seemingly skip that and instead go through all of the
repository's packfiles. The conditional that checks whether we have a
packfile though does not make much sense anymore, as we dereference the
packfile regardless of whether or not it is a `NULL` pointer to derive
the repository's packfile store.
The function was originally introduced via f0e17e86e1 (pack: move
release_pack_memory(), 2017-08-18), and here we indeed had a caller that
passed a `NULL` pointer. That caller was later removed via 9827d4c185
(packfile: drop release_pack_memory(), 2019-08-12), so starting with
that commit we always pass a `struct packed_git`. In 9c5ce06d74
(packfile: use `repository` from `packed_git` directly, 2024-12-03) we
then inadvertently started to rely on the fact that the pointer is never
`NULL` because we use it now to identify the repository.
Arguably, it didn't really make sense in the first place that the caller
provides a packfile, as the selected window would have been overridden
anyway by the subsequent loop over all packfiles if there was an older
window. So the overall logic is quite misleading overall. The only case
where it _could_ make a difference is when there were two packfiles with
the same `last_used` value, but that case doesn't ever happen because
the `pack_used_ctr` is strictly increasing.
Refactor the code so that we instead pass in the object database to
help make the code less misleading.

The kept pack cache is a cache of packfiles that are marked as kept
either via an accompanying ".kept" file or via an in-memory flag. The
cache can be retrieved via `kept_pack_cache()`, where one needs to pass
in a repository.
Ultimately though the kept-pack cache is a property of the packfile
store, and this causes problems in a subsequent commit where we want to
move down the packfile store to be a per-object-source entity.
Prepare for this and refactor the kept-pack cache to work on top of a
packfile store instead. While at it, rename both the function and flags
specific to the kept-pack cache so that they can be properly attributed
to the respective subsystems.

When preparing a packfile we pass various pieces attached to the pack's
object database source via the `struct prepare_pack_data`. Refactor this
code to instead pass in the source directly. This reduces the number of
variables we need to pass and allows for a subsequent refactoring where
we start to prepare the pack via the source.

In subsequent patches we're about to move the packfile store from the
object database layer into the object database source layer. Once done,
we'll have one packfile store per source, where the source is owning the
store.
Prepare for this future and refactor `packfile_store_new()` to be
initialized via an object database source instead of via the object
database itself.
This refactoring leads to a weird in-between state where the store is
owned by the object database but created via the source. But this makes
subsequent refactorings easier because we can now start to access the
owning source of a given store.

The documentation for the builtin API was moved from the technical
documentation and into a comment in builtin.h by ec14d4ecb5 (builtin.h: take
over documentation from api-builtin.txt, 2017-08-02). This documentation
wasn't updated as part of the major overhaul to include a repository struct
in 9b1cb5070f (builtin: add a repository parameter for builtin functions,
2024-09-13).
There was a brief update regarding the move from *.txt to *.adoc by
e8015223c7 (builtin.h: *.txt -> *.adoc fixes, 2025-03-03).
I noticed that there was quite a bit missing from the old documentation,
which is still visible on git-scm.com [1].
[1] https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/issues/2124
This change updates the documentation in the following ways:
1. Updates the cmd_foo() prototype to include a repository.
2. Adds some newlines to have uniformity in the list of flags.
3. Adds a description of the NO_PARSEOPT flag.
4. Describes the tests that perform checks on all builtins, which may trip
up a contributor working on a new builtin.
I double-checked these instructions against a toy example in my local branch
to be sure that it was complete.

Replace old-style `test -[df]` and `! test -[df]` assertions with
the modern `test_path_is_file`, `test_path_is_dir`, and
`test_path_is_missing` helpers.
These helpers provide more informative error messages in case of
failure (e.g., "File 'foo' is missing" instead of just exit code 1).
While at it, fix a typo and an incorrect path
reference in one of the test descriptions.

When a user is interactively deciding which hunks to use or skip for
staging, unstaging, stashing etc, there is no way to know the
decision previously chosen for a hunk when navigating through the
previous and next hunks using K/J respectively.
Improve the UI to explicitly show if a user has previously decided to
use a hunk (by pressing 'y') or skip the hunk (by pressing 'n').
This will improve clarity when and aid the navigation process for the
user.

The default `--unstable` is a legacy format that predates `--stable`.
That’s why 2871f4d4 (builtin: patch-id: add --verbatim as a command mode,
2022-10-24) made `--verbatim` lock in[1] `--stable`:
Users of --unstable mainly care about compatibility with old git
versions, which unstripping the whitespace would break. Thus there
isn't a usecase for the combination of --verbatim and --unstable,
and we don't expose this so as to not add maintainence burden.
