2025-08-06builtin/remote: only iterate through refs that are to be renamedPatrick Steinhardt3-10/+13
When renaming a remote we also need to rename all references accordingly. But while we only need to rename references that are contained in the "refs/remotes/$OLDNAME/" namespace, we end up using `refs_for_each_rawref()` that iterates through _all_ references. We know to exit early in the callback in case we see an irrelevant reference, but ultimately this is still a waste of compute as we knowingly iterate through references that we won't ever care about. Improve this by using `refs_for_each_rawref_in()`, which knows to only iterate through (potentially broken) references in a given prefix. The following benchmark renames a remote with a single reference in a repository that has 100k unrelated references. This shows a sizeable improvement with the "files" backend: Benchmark 1: rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD~) Time (mean ± σ): 42.6 ms ± 0.9 ms [User: 29.1 ms, System: 8.4 ms] Range (min … max): 40.1 ms … 43.3 ms 10 runs Benchmark 2: rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD) Time (mean ± σ): 31.7 ms ± 4.0 ms [User: 19.6 ms, System: 6.9 ms] Range (min … max): 27.1 ms … 36.0 ms 10 runs Summary rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD) ran 1.35 ± 0.17 times faster than rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD~) The "reftable" backend shows roughly the same absolute improvement, but given that it's already significantly faster than the "files" backend this translates to a much larger relative improvement: Benchmark 1: rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD~) Time (mean ± σ): 18.2 ms ± 0.5 ms [User: 12.7 ms, System: 3.0 ms] Range (min … max): 17.3 ms … 21.4 ms 110 runs Benchmark 2: rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD) Time (mean ± σ): 8.8 ms ± 0.5 ms [User: 3.8 ms, System: 2.9 ms] Range (min … max): 7.5 ms … 9.9 ms 167 runs Summary rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD) ran 2.07 ± 0.12 times faster than rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD~) Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-08-06builtin/remote: rework how remote refs get renamedPatrick Steinhardt2-98/+269
It was recently reported [1] that renaming a remote that has dangling symrefs is broken. This issue can be trivially reproduced: $ git init repo Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/repo/.git/ $ cd repo/ $ git remote add origin /dev/null $ git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/master $ git remote rename origin renamed $ git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/master $ git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/renamed/HEAD fatal: ref refs/remotes/renamed/HEAD is not a symbolic ref As one can see, the "HEAD" reference did not get renamed but stays in the same place. There are two issues here: - We use `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()` to resolve references, but we don't pass the `RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE` flag. Consequently, if the reference does not resolve, the function will fail and we thus ignore this branch. - We use `refs_for_each_ref()` to iterate through the old remote's references, but that function ignores broken references. Both of these issues are easy to fix. But having a closer look at the logic that renames remote references surfaces that it leaves a lot to be desired overall. The problem is that we're using O(|refs| + |symrefs| * 2) many reference transactions to perform the renames. We first delete all symrefs, then individually rename every direct reference and finally we recreate the symrefs. On the one hand this isn't even remotely an atomic operation, so if we hit any error we'll already have deleted all references. But more importantly it is also extremely inefficient. The number of transactions for symrefs doesn't really bother us too much, as there should generally only be a single symref anyway ("HEAD"). But the renames are very expensive: - For the "reftable" backend we perform auto-compaction after every single rename, which does add up. - For the "files" backend we potentially have to rewrite the "packed-refs" file on every single rename in case they are packed. The consequence here is quadratic runtime performance. Renaming a 100k references takes hours to complete. Refactor the code to use a single transaction to perform all the reference updates atomically, which speeds up the transaction quite significantly: Benchmark 1: rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD~) Time (mean ± σ): 238.770 s ± 13.857 s [User: 91.473 s, System: 143.793 s] Range (min … max): 204.863 s … 247.699 s 10 runs Benchmark 2: rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD) Time (mean ± σ): 2.103 s ± 0.036 s [User: 0.360 s, System: 1.313 s] Range (min … max): 2.011 s … 2.141 s 10 runs Summary rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD) ran 113.53 ± 6.87 times faster than rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD~) For the "reftable" backend we see a significant speedup, as well, but given that we don't have quadratic runtime behaviour there it's way less extreme: Benchmark 1: rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD~) Time (mean ± σ): 8.604 s ± 0.539 s [User: 4.985 s, System: 2.368 s] Range (min … max): 7.880 s … 9.556 s 10 runs Benchmark 2: rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD) Time (mean ± σ): 1.177 s ± 0.103 s [User: 0.446 s, System: 0.270 s] Range (min … max): 1.023 s … 1.410 s 10 runs Summary rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD) ran 7.31 ± 0.79 times faster than rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD~) There is one issue though with using atomic transactions: when nesting a remote into itself it can happen that renamed references conflict with the old referencse. For example, when we have a reference "refs/remotes/origin/foo" and we rename "origin" to "origin/foo", then we'll end up with an F/D conflict when we try to create the renamed reference "refs/remotes/origin/foo/foo". This situation is overall quite unlikely to happen: people tend to not use nested remotes, and if they do they must at the same time also have a conflicting refname. But the end result would be that the old remote references stay intact whereas all the other parts of the repository have been adjusted for the new remote name. Address this by queueing and preparing the reference update before we touch any other part of the repository. Like this we can make sure that the reference update will go through before rewriting the configuration. Otherwise, if the transaction fails to prepare we can gracefully abort the whole operation without any changes having been performed in the repository yet. Furthermore, we can detect the conflict and print some helpful advice for how the user can resolve this situation. So overall, the tradeoff is that: - Reference transactions are now all-or-nothing. This is a significant improvement over the previous state where we may have ended up with partially-renamed references. - Rewriting references is now significantly faster. - We only rewrite the configuration in case we know that all references can be updated. - But we may refuse to rename a remote in case references conflict. Overall this seems like an acceptable tradeoff. While at it, fix the handling of symbolic/broken references by using `refs_for_each_rawref()`. Add tests that cover both this reported issue and tests that exercise nesting of remotes. One thing to note: with this change we cannot provide a proper progress monitor anymore as we queue the references into the transactions as we iterate through them. Consequently, as we don't know yet how many refs there are in total, we cannot report how many percent of the operation is done anymore. But that's a small price to pay considering that you now shouldn't need the progress monitor in most situations at all anymore.

2025-08-06refs: simplify logic when migrating reflog entriesPatrick Steinhardt1-26/+10
When migrating reflog entries between two storage formats we have to do so via two callback-driven functions: - `migrate_one_reflog()` gets invoked via `refs_for_each_reflog()` to first list all available reflogs. - `migrate_one_reflog_entry()` gets invoked via `refs_for_each_reflog_ent()` in `migrate_one_reflog()`. Before the preceding commit we didn't have the refname available in `migrate_one_reflog_entry()`, which made it necessary to have a separate structure that we pass to the second callback so that we can propagate the refname. Now that `refs_for_each_reflog_ent()` knows to pass the refname to the callback though that indirection isn't necessary anymore. There's one catch though: we do have an update index that is also stored in the entry-specific callback data. This update index is required so that we can tell the ref backend in which order it should persist the reflog entries to disk. But that purpose can be trivially achieved by just converting it into a global counter that is used for all reflog entries, regardless of which reference they are for. The ordering will remain the same as both the update index and the refname is considered when sorting the entries. Move the index into `struct migration_data` and drop the now-unused `struct reflog_migration_data` to simplify the code a bit.

2025-08-06refs: pass refname when invoking reflog entry callbackPatrick Steinhardt17-45/+63
With `refs_for_each_reflog_ent()` callers can iterate through all the reflog entries for a given reference. The callback that is being invoked for each such entry does not receive the name of the reference that we are currently iterating through. This isn't really a limiting factor, as callers can simply pass the name via the callback data. But this layout sometimes does make for a bit of an awkward calling pattern. One example: when iterating through all reflogs, and for each reflog we iterate through all refnames, we have to do some extra book keeping to track which reference name we are currently yielding reflog entries for. Change the signature of the callback function so that the reference name of the reflog gets passed through to it. Adapt callers accordingly and start using the new parameter in trivial cases. The next commit will refactor the reference migration logic to make use of this parameter so that we can simplify its logic a bit.

2025-08-06refs: fix invalid old object IDs when migrating reflogsPatrick Steinhardt6-13/+55
When migrating reflog entries between different storage formats we end up with invalid old object IDs for the migrated entries: instead of writing the old object ID of the to-be-migrated entry, we end up with the all-zeroes object ID. The root cause of this issue is that we don't know to use the old object ID provided by the caller. Instead, we manually resolve the old object ID by resolving the current value of its matching reference. But as that reference does not yet exist in the target ref storage we always end up resolving it to all-zeroes. This issue got unnoticed as there is no user-facing command that would even show the old object ID. While `git log -g` knows to show the new object ID, we don't have any formatting directive to show the old object ID. Fix the bug by introducing a new flag `REF_LOG_USE_PROVIDED_OIDS`. If set, backends are instructed to use the old and new object IDs provided by the caller, without doing any manual resolving. Set this flag in `ref_transaction_update_reflog()`. Amend our tests in t1460-refs-migrate to use our test tool to read reflog entries. This test tool prints out both old and new object ID of each reflog entry, which fixes the test gap. Furthermore it also prints the full identity used to write the reflog, which provides test coverage for the previous commit in this patch series that fixed the identity for migrated reflogs.

2025-08-06refs: stop unsetting REF_HAVE_OLD for log-only updatesPatrick Steinhardt4-19/+13
The `REF_HAVE_OLD` flag indicates whether a given ref update has its old object ID set. If so, the value of that field is used to verify whether the current state of the reference matches this expected state. It is thus an important part of mitigating races with a concurrent process that updates the same set of references. When writing reflogs though we explicitly unset that flag. This is a sensible thing to do: the old state of reflog entry updates may not necessarily match the current on-disk state of its accompanying ref, but it's only intended to signal what old object ID we want to write into the new reflog entry. For example when migrating refs we end up writing many reflog entries for a single reference, and most likely those reflog entries will have many different old object IDs. But unsetting this flag also removes a useful signal, namely that the caller _did_ provide an old object ID for a given reflog entry. This signal will become useful in a subsequent commit, where we add a new flag that tells the transaction to use the provided old and new object IDs to write a reflog entry. The `REF_HAVE_OLD` flag is then used as a signal to verify that the caller really did provide an old object ID. Stop unsetting the flag so that we can use it as this described signal in a subsequent commit. Skip checking the old object ID for log-only updates so that we don't expect it to match the current on-disk state.

2025-08-06refs/files: detect race when generating reflog entry for HEADPatrick Steinhardt1-2/+38
When updating a reference that is being pointed to HEAD we don't only write a reflog message for that particular reference, but also generate one for HEAD. This logic is handled by `split_head_update()`, where we: 1. Verify that the condition actually triggered. This is done by reading HEAD at the start of the transaction so that we can then check whether a given reference update refers to its target. 2. Queue a new log-only update for HEAD in case it did. But the logic is unfortunately not free of races, as we do not lock the HEAD reference after we have read its target. This can lead to the following two scenarios: - HEAD gets concurrently updated to point to one of the references we have already processed. This causes us not writing a reflog message even though we should have done so. - HEAD gets concurrently updated to no longer point to a reference anymore that we have already processed. This causes us to write a reflog message even though we should _not_ have done so. Improve the situation by introducing a new `REF_LOG_VIA_SPLIT` flag that is specific to the "files" backend. If set, we will double check that the HEAD reference still points to the reference that we are creating the reflog entry for after we have locked HEAD. Furthermore, instead of manually resolving the old object ID of that entry, we now use the same old state as for the parent update. If we detect such a racy update we abort the transaction. This is a bit heavy-handed: the user didn't even ask us to write a reflog update for "HEAD", so it might be surprising if we abort the transaction. That being said: - Normal users wouldn't typically hit this case as we only hit the relevant code when committing to a branch that is being pointed to by "HEAD" directly. Commands like git-commit(1) typically commit to "HEAD" itself though. - Scripted users that use git-update-ref(1) and related plumbing commands are unlikely to hit this case either, as they would have to update the pointed-to-branch at the same as "HEAD" is being updated, which is an exceedingly rare event. The alternative would be to instead drop the log-only update completely, but that would require more logic that is hard to verify without adding infrastructure specific for such a test. So we rather do the pragmatic thing and don't worry too much about an edge case that is very unlikely to happen. Unfortunately, this change only helps with the second race. We cannot reliably plug the first race without locking the HEAD reference at the start of the transaction. Locking HEAD unconditionally would effectively serialize all writes though, and that doesn't seem like an option. Also, double checking its value at the end of the transaction is not an option either, as its target may have flip-flopped during the transaction.

2025-08-06refs: fix identity for migrated reflogsPatrick Steinhardt1-4/+18
When migrating reflog entries between different storage formats we must reconstruct the identity of reflog entries. This is done by passing the committer passed to the `migrate_one_reflog_entry()` callback function to `fmt_ident()`. This results in an invalid identity though: `fmt_ident()` expects the caller to provide both name and mail of the author, but we pass the full identity as mail. This leads to an identity like: pks <Patrick Steinhardt ps@pks.im> Fix the bug by splitting the identity line first. This allows us to extract both the name and mail so that we can pass them to `fmt_ident()` separately. This commit does not yet add any tests as there is another bug in the reflog migration that will be fixed in a subsequent commit. Once that bug is fixed we'll make the reflog verification in t1450 stricter, and that will catch both this bug here and the other bug. Note that we also add two new `name` and `mail` string buffers to the callback structures and splice them through to the callbacks. This is done so that we can avoid allocating a new buffer every time we compute the committer information.

2025-08-06ident: fix type of string length parameterPatrick Steinhardt2-2/+2
The last parameter in `split_ident_line()` is the length of the line passed in by the caller. As such, most callers pass in either the result of `strlen()`, `struct strbuf::len` or a pointer diff, all of which are expected to be positive numbers. Regardless of that, the function accepts a signed integer, which is somewhat confusing. Fix the function signature to instead accept a `size_t`.

2025-08-06builtin/reflog: implement subcommand to write new entriesPatrick Steinhardt4-0/+201
While we provide a couple of subcommands in git-reflog(1) to remove reflog entries, we don't provide any to write new entries. Obviously this is not an operation that really would be needed for many use cases out there, or otherwise people would have complained that such a command does not exist yet. But the introduction of the "reftable" backend changes the picture a bit, as it is now basically impossible to manually append a reflog entry if one wanted to do so due to the binary format. Plug this gap by introducing a simple "write" subcommand. For now, all this command does is to append a single new reflog entry with the given object IDs and message to the reflog. More specifically, it is not yet possible to: - Write multiple reflog entries at once. - Insert reflog entries at arbitrary indices. - Specify the date of the reflog entry. - Insert reflog entries that refer to nonexistent objects. If required, those features can be added at a future point in time. For now though, the new command aims to fulfill the most basic use cases while being as strict as possible when it comes to verifying parameters.

Git's reference management is distributed across multiple commands.

Implement `cmd_refs_list` by having it call the `for_each_ref_core()` helper function. This helper was factored out of the original `cmd_for_each_ref` in a preceding commit, allowing both commands to share the same core logic as independent peers. Add documentation for the new command. The man page leverages the shared options file, created in a previous commit, by using the AsciiDoc `include::` macro to ensure consistency with git-for-each-ref(1).

2025-08-05builtin/for-each-ref: factor out core logic into a helperMeet Soni2-22/+45
The implementation of `git for-each-ref` is monolithic within `cmd_for_each_ref()`, making it impossible to share its logic with other commands. To enable code reuse for the upcoming `git refs list` subcommand, refactor the core logic into a shared helper function. Introduce a new `for-each-ref.h` header to define the public interface for this shared logic. It contains the declaration for a new helper function, `for_each_ref_core()`, and a macro for the common usage options. Move the option parsing, filtering, and formatting logic from `cmd_for_each_ref()` into a new helper function named `for_each_ref_core()`. This helper is made generic by accepting the command's usage string as a parameter. The original `cmd_for_each_ref()` is simplified to a thin wrapper that is only responsible for defining its specific usage array and calling the shared helper.

2025-08-05builtin/for-each-ref: align usage string with the man pageMeet Soni2-6/+10
Usage string for `git for-each-ref` was out of sync with its official documentation. The test `t0450-txt-doc-vs-help.sh` was marked as broken due to this. Update the usage string to match the documentation. This allows the test to pass, so remove the corresponding 'known breakage' marker from the test file.

2025-08-05doc: factor out common optionMeet Soni2-88/+89
In preparation for adding documentation for `git refs list`, factor out the common options from the `git-for-each-ref` man page into a shareable file `for-each-ref-options.adoc` and update `git-for-each-ref.adoc` to use an `include::` macro. This change is a pure refactoring and results in no change to the final rendered documentation for `for-each-ref`.

2025-08-05t/unit-tests/clar: fix -Wmaybe-uninitialized with -OgDenton Liu1-1/+1
When building with -Og on gcc 15.1.1, the build produces a warning. In practice, though, this cannot be hit because `exact` acts as a guard and that variable can only be set after `matchlen` is already initialized Assign a default value to `matchlen` so that the warning is silenced.

2025-08-05remote: bail early from set_head() if missing remote nameJeff King1-4/+7
In "git remote set-head", we can take varying numbers of arguments depending on whether we saw the "-d" or "-a" options. But the first argument is always the remote name. The current code is somewhat awkward in that it conditionally handles the remote name up-front like this: if (argc) remote = ...from argv[0]... and then only later decides to bail if we do not have the right number of arguments for the options we saw. This makes it hard to figure out if "remote" is always set when it needs to be. Both for humans, but also for compilers; with -Og, gcc complains that "remote" can be accessed without being initialized (although this is not true, as we'd always die with a usage message in that case). Let's instead enforce the presence of the remote argument up front, which fixes the compiler warning and is easier to understand. It does mean duplicating the code to print a usage message, but it's a single line.

2025-08-04archive: flush deflate stream until Z_STREAM_ENDJustin Tobler1-6/+14
In `archive-zip.c:write_zip_entry()` when using a stream as input for deflating a file, the call to `git_deflate()` with Z_FINISH always expects Z_STREAM_END to be returned. Per zlib documentation[1]: If the parameter flush is set to Z_FINISH, pending input is processed, pending output is flushed and deflate returns with Z_STREAM_END if there was enough output space. If deflate returns with Z_OK or Z_BUF_ERROR, this function must be called again with Z_FINISH and more output space (updated avail_out) but no more input data, until it returns with Z_STREAM_END or an error. After deflate has returned Z_STREAM_END, the only possible operations on the stream are deflateReset or deflateEnd. In scenarios where the output buffer is not large enough to write all the compressed data, it is perfectly valid for the underlying `deflate()` to return Z_OK. Thus, expecting a single pass of `deflate()` here to always return Z_STREAM_END is a bug. Update the code to flush the deflate stream until Z_STREAM_END is returned.

When finding a location for the askpass helper, git will be asked for its exec path, but if that git is not the same that called git-gui then we might mistakenly point to its helper instead. Assume that git-gui and the helper are colocated to derive its path instead. This is specially useful in macOS where a broken version of that helper is provided by the system git.
