2026-08-17odb: eagerly initialize alternatesPatrick Steinhardt1-1/+0
When creating the object database we initialize the main object database source, but we don't yet initialize its alternates. Instead, we have many calls to `odb_prepare_alternates()` cluttered around the code base whenever we are about to iterate through the sources. This lazy loading doesn't really add much value: the moment where we read any object we _have_ to load the alternates anyway. So given that most of our commands would access the object database this optimization is not really buying us much in the first place. Quite on the contrary, it makes the code harder to understand and is a potential source of bugs in case any callsite forgot to prepare alternates before we iterate through the sources. Historically though there was a reason why we deferred lazy-loading: it may happen that the repository has "core.ignoreCase" configured, and we use that to deduplicate the list of alternates in case we had the same alternate configured multiple times, but with different casing. We used to initialize the object database before we had fully configured the owning repository though, and consequently we couldn't access that configuration yet. This has changed in the preceding commit though where we started to parse "core.ignoreCase" manually. Eagerly prepare alternates both when creating the object database and when flushing its caches. Drop the now-unneeded calls to prepare the alternates that are scattered across the code base. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2026-08-06setup: detangle loading of loose object mapsPatrick Steinhardt1-6/+5
When a repository is configured to use a compatibility hash function then we load the loose object map when we initialize the repository. This object map provides the mappings between the canonical object hash and the compatibility object hash. Loading the object map happens in `repo_set_compat_hash_algo()`, which calls `repo_read_loose_object_map()` in case the compatibility object hash is non-zero. This setup sequence has two major downsides: - We assume that the primary object database is the "files" object database and unconditionally downcast it. This will cause us to BUG in case a different object database type was used together with a compat hash algorithm. - We require the object database to already have been initialized when configuring the object database. This means that we must intermix configuration of the repository and initialization of its sub-structures in a weird way. Refactor the logic so that we instead load the loose object map via the "loose" backend, which fixes both of the above issues.

2026-08-06loose: load loose object map for the correct sourcePatrick Steinhardt1-8/+10
When loading the loose object map via `load_one_loose_object_map()` we pass in both a repository and the corresponding source. We ultimately don't really respect the passed-in source though as we instead always load the map via the common directory. This doesn't make any sense though, as the function is called in a loop through all sources, and as such the expectation is that we'll load the map that belongs to the given source. The consequence is that we'll ignore loose object maps of any configured alternates. Fix this bug by instead loading the map via the loose source's path.

2026-07-05loose: avoid closing invalid fd on error pathJohannes Schindelin1-1/+2
`write_one_object()` opens a file at line 186 and jumps to the errout label on failure. The errout cleanup unconditionally calls `close(fd)`, but when `open()` itself failed, fd is -1. Calling `close(-1)` is harmless on most platforms (returns EBADF) but is undefined behavior per POSIX and can confuse fd tracking in sanitizer builds. Guard the close with fd >= 0.

2026-06-01loose: refactor object map to operate on `struct odb_source_loose`Patrick Steinhardt1-23/+22
While the loose object map functions in "loose.c" accept a generic `struct odb_source *`, they always expect this to be the "files" backend. Furthermore, the subsystem doesn't even care about the "files" backend, but only uses it as a stepping stone to get to the "loose" backend. This assumption is implicit and thus not immediately obvious. Refactor the interfaces to instead operate on a `struct odb_source_loose` instead, which eliminates the implicit dependency and unnecessary detour via the "files" source.

2026-05-15oidtree: add ability to store dataPatrick Steinhardt1-1/+1
The oidtree data structure is currently only used to store object IDs, without any associated data. So consequently, it can only really be used to track which object IDs exist, and we can use the tree structure to efficiently operate on OID prefixes. But there are valid use cases where we want to both: - Store object IDs in a sorted order. - Associated arbitrary data with them. Refactor the oidtree interface so that it allows us to store arbitrary payloads within the respective nodes. This will be used in the next commit.

2026-03-05odb: embed base source in the "files" backendPatrick Steinhardt1-9/+14
The "files" backend is implemented as a pointer in the `struct odb_source`. This contradicts our typical pattern for pluggable backends like we use it for example in the ref store or for object database streams, where we typically embed the generic base structure in the specialized implementation. This pattern has a couple of small benefits: - We avoid an extra allocation. - We hide implementation details in the generic structure. - We can easily downcast from a generic backend to the specialized structure and vice versa because the offsets are known at compile time. - It becomes trivial to identify locations where we depend on backend specific logic because the cast needs to be explicit. Refactor our "files" object database source to do the same and embed the `struct odb_source` in the `struct odb_source_files`. There are still a bunch of sites in our code base where we do have to access internals of the "files" backend. The intent is that those will go away over time, but this will certainly take a while. Meanwhile, provide a `odb_source_files_downcast()` function that can convert a generic source into a "files" source. As we only have a single source the downcast succeeds unconditionally for now. Eventually though the intent is to make the cast `BUG()` in case the caller requests to downcast a non-"files" backend to a "files" backend.

2026-03-05odb: introduce "files" sourcePatrick Steinhardt1-9/+9
Introduce a new "files" object database source. This source encapsulates access to both loose object files and the packfile store, similar to how the "files" backend for refs encapsulates access to loose refs and the packed-refs file. Note that for now the "files" source is still a direct member of a `struct odb_source`. This architecture will be reversed in the next commit so that the files source contains a `struct odb_source`.

2025-11-03object-file: move loose object map into loose sourcePatrick Steinhardt1-5/+5
The loose object map is used to map from the repository's canonical object hash to the compatibility hash. As the name indicates, this map is only used for loose objects, and as such it is tied to a specific loose object source. Same as with preceding commits, move this map into the loose object source accordingly. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-11-03object-file: move loose object cache into loose sourcePatrick Steinhardt1-4/+5
Our loose objects use a cache that (optionally) stores all objects for each of the opened sharding directories. This cache is located in the `struct odb_source`, but now that we have `struct odb_source_loose` it makes sense to move it into the latter structure so that all state that relates to loose objects is entirely self-contained. Do so. While at it, rename corresponding functions to have a prefix that relates to `struct odb_source_loose`. Note that despite this prefix, the functions still accept a `struct odb_source` as input. This is done intentionally: once we introduce pluggable object databases, we will continue to accept this struct but then do a cast inside these functions to `struct odb_source_loose`. This design is similar to how we do it for our ref backends. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-07-16loose: write loose objects map via their sourcePatrick Steinhardt1-7/+9
When a repository is configured to have a compatibility hash algorithm we keep track of object ID mappings for loose objects via the loose object map. This map simply maps an object ID of the actual hash to the object ID of the compatibility hash. This loose object map is an inherent property of the loose files backend and thus of one specific object source. Refactor the interfaces to reflect this by requiring a `struct odb_source` as input instead of a repository. This prepares for subsequent commits where we will refactor writing of loose objects to work on a `struct odb_source`, as well.

2025-07-01odb: get rid of `the_repository` when handling alternatesPatrick Steinhardt1-1/+1
The functions to manage alternates all depend on `the_repository`. Refactor them to accept an object database as a parameter and adjust all callers. The functions are renamed accordingly. Note that right now the situation is still somewhat weird because we end up using the object store path provided by the object store's repository anyway. Consequently, we could have instead passed in a pointer to the repository instead of passing in the pointer to the object store. This will be addressed in subsequent commits though, where we will start to use the path owned by the object store itself.

2025-07-01object-store: rename files to "odb.{c,h}"Patrick Steinhardt1-1/+1
In the preceding commits we have renamed the structures contained in "object-store.h" to `struct object_database` and `struct odb_backend`.

2025-07-01object-store: rename `object_directory` to `odb_source`Patrick Steinhardt1-21/+21
The `object_directory` structure is used as an access point for a single object directory like ".git/objects". While the structure isn't yet fully self-contained, the intent is for it to eventually contain all information required to access objects in one specific location. While the name "object directory" is a good fit for now, this will change over time as we continue with the agenda to make pluggable object databases a thing. Eventually, objects may not be accessed via any kind of directory at all anymore, but they could instead be backed by any kind of durable storage mechanism. While it seems quite far-fetched for now, it is thinkable that eventually this might even be some form of a database, for example. As such, the current name of this structure will become worse over time as we evolve into the direction of pluggable ODBs. Immediate next steps will start to carve out proper self-contained object directories, which requires us to pass in these object directories as parameters. Based on our modern naming schema this means that those functions should then be named after their subsystem, which means that we would start to bake the current name into the codebase more and more. Let's preempt this by renaming the structure. There have been a couple alternatives that were discussed: - `odb_backend` was discarded because it led to the association that one object database has a single backend, but the model is that one alternate has one backend. Furthermore, "backend" is more about the actual backing implementation and less about the high-level concept. - `odb_alternate` was discarded because it is a bit of a stretch to also call the main object directory an "alternate". Instead, pick `odb_source` as the new name. It makes it sufficiently clear that there can be multiple sources and does not cause confusion when mixed with the already-existing "alternate" terminology. In the future, this change allows us to easily introduce for example a `odb_files_source` and other format-specific implementations.

2025-02-28path: adjust last remaining users of `the_repository`Patrick Steinhardt1-1/+1
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`. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-02-07path: refactor `repo_common_path()` family of functionsPatrick Steinhardt1-3/+3
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.

2024-09-05drop trailing newline from warning/error/die messagesJeff King1-2/+2
Our error reporting routines append a trailing newline, and the strings we pass to them should not include them (otherwise we get an extra blank line after the message). These cases were all found by looking at the results of: git grep -P '[^_](error|error_errno|warning|die|die_errno)\(.*\\n"[,)]' '*.c' Note that we _do_ sometimes include a newline in the middle of such messages, to create multiline output (hence our grep matching "," or ")" after we see the newline, so we know we're at the end of the string). It's possible that one or more of these cases could intentionally be including a blank line at the end, but having looked at them all manually, I think these are all just mistakes.

2024-06-14global: introduce `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macroPatrick Steinhardt1-0/+2
Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead, callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters. It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces that implicitly rely on `the_repository`. Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes, be it explicit or implicit For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as `the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add guards as required (or even better, just remove them). Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the required changes at least a little bit more contained.
