2026-08-07transport: drop remote object-info fields from transport structJeff King1-4/+3
A remote object-info request needs three things: the transport for contacting the remote, the list of oids to request, and a place to store the output. Rather than take these as function parameters, we take only the transport object, and expect the caller to have placed the other two into special fields in the transport struct. But this doesn't make much sense. The set of oids and results are really only valid for one request. There is no reason the transport would need to hang on to them outside of the single function call. Even though we save a few lines passing the parameters around through the various vtable functions, the result is harder to understand (for example, who is responsible for cleaning up results, and when should it happen?). It also opens up the possibility of a subtle bug. A caller is likely to point those fields to stack variables which could go out of scope, and the transport struct would be left holding invalid pointers. This is mostly harmless now, as we disconnect the transport immediately after the sole caller of transport_fetch_object_info(). But conceptually we could keep the transport open and make multiple fetch calls (and reuse the same connection to the helper, to a remote HTTP server, and so on). So let's pull these out of the struct and pass them as function parameters. It's a little more verbose, but I think more clearly illustrates the intent. I've also tweaked a few function signatures to mark the input oid array as const, since it is purely an input to the function.

2026-08-07fetch-object-info: use dedicated struct for the resultsPablo Sabater1-2/+3
fetch_object_info() collects information about N objects, but it stores the results in an array of object_info. That struct holds the extended parameters of read_object_info() (The optional outputs the caller wants filled). Its pointers tell that function where to write the answers for a single object. object_info is not meant to be the final storage, and since fetch_object_info() does not call read_object_info(), there is no reason to use it. Using it means allocating one scalar per object per attribute just to have those pointers somewhere to point at. Add struct fetch_object_info_results. The caller sets the wants_* flags to say what it is interested in, and fetch_object_info() allocates one array per attribute. A set wants_* flag means "asked for", while a non-NULL array means "available". The caller releases the arrays with free_fetch_object_info_results(). The object_info_options string list is no longer needed. Filtering against the server's advertisement now sets local ask_* flags, and send_object_info_request() turns those into the v2 protocol option strings. remote_atom_map[] existed only to map those strings back into atom names, so drop it and build remote_allowed_atoms from the result arrays. Currently for wants_* and ask_* there is only the 'size' variant but a subsequent commit will add '*_type'. free_object_info_contents() loses its only caller and is dropped. Dropping the allow-list check makes the final else reachable from the wire, so die() instead of BUG(): an unknown attribute is the server's error, not ours.

2026-07-24transport: add client support for object-infoCalvin Wan1-0/+9
Sometimes, it is beneficial to retrieve information about an object without downloading it entirely. The server-side logic for this functionality was implemented in commit "a2ba162cda (object-info: support for retrieving object info, 2021-04-20)." And the wire format is documented at https://git-scm.com/docs/protocol-v2#_object_info. Introduce client-side support for the object-info capability. Add its own function for object-info separate from existing fetch infrastructure. Currently, the client supports requesting a list of OIDs with the size attribute from a v2 server. If the server does not advertise this feature (i.e., transfer.advertiseobjectinfo is set to false), the client returns an error and exits. Note that: 1. The entire request is written into req_buf before being sent to the remote. This approach follows the pattern used in the send_fetch_request() logic within 'fetch-pack.c'. Streaming the request is not addressed in this patch. 2. A new field 'unrecognized' has been added to object_info. This new field is set at fetch_object_info() when the object is unrecognized by the server.

2026-05-20fetch: add --negotiation-include option for negotiationDerrick Stolee1-2/+3
Add a new --negotiation-include option to 'git fetch', which ensures that certain ref tips are always sent as 'have' lines during fetch negotiation, regardless of what the negotiation algorithm selects. This is useful when the repository has a large number of references, so the normal negotiation algorithm truncates the list. This is especially important in repositories with long parallel commit histories. For example, a repo could have a 'dev' branch for development and a 'release' branch for released versions. If the 'dev' branch isn't selected for negotiation, then it's not a big deal because there are many in-progress development branches with a shared history. However, if 'release' is not selected for negotiation, then the server may think that this is the first time the client has asked for that reference, causing a full download of its parallel commit history (and any extra data that may be unique to that branch). This is based on a real example where certain fetches would grow to 60+ GB when a release branch updated. This option is a complement to --negotiation-restrict, which reduces the negotiation ref set to a specific list. In the earlier example, using --negotiation-restrict to focus the negotiation to 'dev' and 'release' would avoid those problematic downloads, but would still not allow advertising potentially-relevant user branches. In this way, the 'include' version solves the problem I mention while allowing negotiation to pick other references opportunistically. The two options can also be combined to allow the best of both worlds. The argument may be an exact ref name or a glob pattern. Non-existent refs are silently ignored. This behavior is also updated in the ref matching logic for the related --negotiation-restrict option to match. The implementation outputs the requested objects as haves before the negotiator performs its own algorithm to choose the next haves. Use the new have_sent() interface to signal these have commits were sent before engaging with the negotiator's next() iterator. Also add --negotiation-include to 'git pull' passthrough options.

2026-05-20transport: rename negotiation_tipsDerrick Stolee1-2/+2
The previous change added the --negotiation-restrict synonym for the --negotiation-tip option for 'git fetch'. In anticipation of adding a new option that behaves similarly but with distinct changes to its behavior, rename the internal representation of this data from 'negotiation_tips' to 'negotiation_restrict_tips'. The 'tips' part is kept because this is an oid_array in the transport layer. This requires the builtin to handle parsing refs into collections of oids so the transport layer can handle this cleaner form of the data. Also update the string_list used to store the inputs from command-line options.

2026-05-19connect: use "service" enum for "name" argumentJeff King1-1/+3
The git_connect() function takes a "name" argument which is a bit confusing. It is _not_ the program to run on the remote repo, which is specified by the "prog" argument. It should instead be one of a few well-known strings specifying the type of operation (e.g., "git-upload-pack"). But to add to the confusion, unless otherwise configured, those well-known strings will also be the same as the programs we run, making it easy to mistake which variable is which. This confusion comes from eaa0fd6584 (git_connect(): fix corner cases in downgrading v2 to v0, 2023-03-17), though in its defense, the term "name" and the use of a string are found in other connect code, going all the way back to b236752a87 (Support remote archive from all smart transports, 2009-12-09). But let's see if we can clean things up a bit. The term "name" is overly vague. We use "service" in other places, including in the smart-http protocol, so let's use it here, too. Using a string invites the notion that it can be anything, not one of a defined set. Let's instead introduce an enum, which has the added bonus that the compiler can catch typos for us, rather than quietly choosing the wrong service from an unexpected strcmp() result. We do still have to turn our enum into those well-known strings to pass along in the remote-helper protocol (e.g., for a stateless-connect directive). But now we do so explicitly and in a way that I think is much more obvious to follow. This is a pure cleanup; there should be no behavior change.

2022-12-25clone: request the 'bundle-uri' command when availableÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+19
Set up all the needed client parts of the 'bundle-uri' protocol v2 command, without actually doing anything with the bundle URIs. If the server says it supports 'bundle-uri' teach Git to issue the 'bundle-uri' command after the 'ls-refs' during 'git clone'. The returned key=value pairs are passed to the bundle list code which is tested using a different ingest mechanism in t5750-bundle-uri-parse.sh. At this point, Git does nothing with that bundle list. It will not download any of the bundles. That will come in a later change after these protocol bits are finalized. The no-op client is initially used only by 'git clone' to test the basic functionality, and eventually will bootstrap the initial download of Git objects during a fresh clone. The bundle URI client will not be integrated into other fetches until a mechanism is created to select a subset of bundles for download.

2022-04-29push: new config option "push.autoSetupRemote" supports "simple" pushTao Klerks1-0/+1
In some "simple" centralized workflows, users expect remote tracking branch names to match local branch names. "git push" pushes to the remote version/instance of the branch, and "git pull" pulls any changes to the remote branch (changes made by the same user in another place, or by other users). This expectation is supported by the push.default default option "simple" which refuses a default push for a mismatching tracking branch name, and by the new branch.autosetupmerge option, "simple", which only sets up remote tracking for same-name remote branches. When a new branch has been created by the user and has not yet been pushed (and push.default is not set to "current"), the user is prompted with a "The current branch %s has no upstream branch" error, and instructions on how to push and add tracking. This error is helpful in that following the advice once per branch "resolves" the issue for that branch forever, but inconvenient in that for the "simple" centralized workflow, this is always the right thing to do, so it would be better to just do it. Support this workflow with a new config setting, push.autoSetupRemote, which will cause a default push, when there is no remote tracking branch configured, to push to the same-name on the remote and --set-upstream. Also add a hint offering this new option when the "The current branch %s has no upstream branch" error is encountered, and add corresponding tests.

Since the introduction of the struct in 39835409d10 (connect, transport: encapsulate arg in struct, 2021-02-05) the caller has been responsible for freeing it. That commit in turn migrated code originally added in 402c47d9391 (clone: send ref-prefixes when using protocol v2, 2018-07-20) and b4be74105fe (ls-remote: pass ref prefixes when requesting a remote's refs, 2018-03-15).

2022-01-07fetch: fix deadlock when cleaning up lockfiles in async signalsPatrick Steinhardt1-1/+13
When fetching packfiles, we write a bunch of lockfiles for the packfiles we're writing into the repository. In order to not leave behind any cruft in case we exit or receive a signal, we register both an exit handler as well as signal handlers for common signals like SIGINT. These handlers will then unlink the locks and free the data structure tracking them. We have observed a deadlock in this logic though: (gdb) bt #0 __lll_lock_wait_private () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/lowlevellock.S:95 #1 0x00007f4932bea2cd in _int_free (av=0x7f4932f2eb20 <main_arena>, p=0x3e3e4200, have_lock=0) at malloc.c:3969 #2 0x00007f4932bee58c in __GI___libc_free (mem=<optimized out>) at malloc.c:2975 #3 0x0000000000662ab1 in string_list_clear () #4 0x000000000044f5bc in unlock_pack_on_signal () #5 <signal handler called> #6 _int_free (av=0x7f4932f2eb20 <main_arena>, p=<optimized out>, have_lock=0) at malloc.c:4024 #7 0x00007f4932bee58c in __GI___libc_free (mem=<optimized out>) at malloc.c:2975 #8 0x000000000065afd5 in strbuf_release () #9 0x000000000066ddb9 in delete_tempfile () #10 0x0000000000610d0b in files_transaction_cleanup.isra () #11 0x0000000000611718 in files_transaction_abort () #12 0x000000000060d2ef in ref_transaction_abort () #13 0x000000000060d441 in ref_transaction_prepare () #14 0x000000000060e0b5 in ref_transaction_commit () #15 0x00000000004511c2 in fetch_and_consume_refs () #16 0x000000000045279a in cmd_fetch () #17 0x0000000000407c48 in handle_builtin () #18 0x0000000000408df2 in cmd_main () #19 0x00000000004078b5 in main () The process was killed with a signal, which caused the signal handler to kick in and try free the data structures after we have unlinked the locks. It then deadlocks while calling free(3P). The root cause of this is that it is not allowed to call certain functions in async-signal handlers, as specified by signal-safety(7). Next to most I/O functions, this list of disallowed functions also includes memory-handling functions like malloc(3P) and free(3P) because they may not be reentrant. As a result, if we execute such functions in the signal handler, then they may operate on inconistent state and fail in unexpected ways. Fix this bug by not calling non-async-signal-safe functions when running in the signal handler. We're about to re-raise the signal anyway and will thus exit, so it's not much of a problem to keep the string list of lockfiles untouched. Note that it's fine though to call unlink(2), so we'll still clean up the lockfiles correctly.

2021-05-05fetch: teach independent negotiation (no packfile)Jonathan Tan1-0/+6
Currently, the packfile negotiation step within a Git fetch cannot be done independent of sending the packfile, even though there is at least one application wherein this is useful. Therefore, make it possible for this negotiation step to be done independently. A subsequent commit will use this for one such application - push negotiation. This feature is for protocol v2 only. (An implementation for protocol v0 would require a separate implementation in the fetch, transport, and transport helper code.) In the protocol, the main hindrance towards independent negotiation is that the server can unilaterally decide to send the packfile. This is solved by a "wait-for-done" argument: the server will then wait for the client to say "done". In practice, the client will never say it; instead it will cease requests once it is satisfied. In the client, the main change lies in the transport and transport helper code. fetch_refs_via_pack() performs everything needed - protocol version and capability checks, and the negotiation itself. There are 2 code paths that do not go through fetch_refs_via_pack() that needed to be individually excluded: the bundle transport (excluded through requiring smart_options, which the bundle transport doesn't support) and transport helpers that do not support takeover. If or when we support independent negotiation for protocol v0, we will need to modify these 2 code paths to support it. But for now, report failure if independent negotiation is requested in these cases. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

But because users don't know it is a shallow repository until they download it to local, we may want to refuse to clone this kind of repository, without creating any unnecessary files.

2020-06-10fetch-pack: support more than one pack lockfileJonathan Tan1-3/+3
Whenever a fetch results in a packfile being downloaded, a .keep file is generated, so that the packfile can be preserved (from, say, a running "git repack") until refs are written referring to the contents of the packfile. In a subsequent patch, a successful fetch using protocol v2 may result in more than one .keep file being generated. Therefore, teach fetch_pack() and the transport mechanism to support multiple .keep files. Implementation notes: - builtin/fetch-pack.c normally does not generate .keep files, and thus is unaffected by this or future changes. However, it has an undocumented "--lock-pack" feature, used by remote-curl.c when implementing the "fetch" remote helper command. In keeping with the remote helper protocol, only one "lock" line will ever be written; the rest will result in warnings to stderr. However, in practice, warnings will never be written because the remote-curl.c "fetch" is only used for protocol v0/v1 (which will not generate multiple .keep files). (Protocol v2 uses the "stateless-connect" command, not the "fetch" command.) - connected.c has an optimization in that connectivity checks on a ref need not be done if the target object is in a pack known to be self-contained and connected. If there are multiple packfiles, this optimization can no longer be done. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2019-10-17remote-curl: pass on atomic capability to remote sidebrian m. carlson1-0/+3
When pushing more than one reference with the --atomic option, the server is supposed to perform a single atomic transaction to update the references, leaving them either all to succeed or all to fail. This works fine when pushing locally or over SSH, but when pushing over HTTP, we fail to pass the atomic capability to the remote side. In fact, we have not reported this capability to any remote helpers during the life of the feature. Now normally, things happen to work nevertheless, since we actually check for most types of failures, such as non-fast-forward updates, on the client side, and just abort the entire attempt. However, if the server side reports a problem, such as the inability to lock a ref, the transaction isn't atomic, because we haven't passed the appropriate capability over and the remote side has no way of knowing that we wanted atomic behavior. Fix this by passing the option from the transport code through to remote helpers, and from the HTTP remote helper down to send-pack. With this change, we can detect if the server side rejects the push and report back appropriately. Note the difference in the messages: the remote side reports "atomic transaction failed", while our own checking rejects pushes with the message "atomic push failed". Document the atomic option in the remote helper documentation, so other implementers can implement it if they like.

2019-07-01object-store.h: move for_each_alternate_ref() from transport.hJeff King1-2/+0
There's nothing inherently transport-related about enumerating the alternate ref tips. The code has lived in transport.[ch] because the only use so far had been advertising available tips during transport. But it could be used for more, and a future patch will teach rev-list to access these refs. Let's move it alongside the other alt-odb code, declaring it in object-store.h with the implementation in sha1-file.c. This lets us drop the inclusion of transport.h from receive-pack, which perhaps shows how it was misplaced (though receive-pack is about transporting objects, transport.h is mostly about the client side).

There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations. Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern` declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch. This was the Coccinelle patch used: @@ type T; identifier f; @@ - extern T f(...); and it was run with: $ git ls-files \*.{c,h} | grep -v ^compat/ | xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much as possible.

None of the current callers use the refname parameter we pass to their callbacks. In theory somebody _could_ do so, but it's actually quite weird if you think about it: it's a ref in somebody else's repository. So the name has no meaning locally, and in fact there may be duplicates if there are multiple alternates. The users of this interface really only care about seeing some ref tips, since that promises that the alternate has the full commit graph reachable from there. So let's keep the information we pass back to the bare minimum.

2018-08-01fetch-pack: unify ref in and out paramJonathan Tan1-2/+1
When a user fetches: - at least one up-to-date ref and at least one non-up-to-date ref, - using HTTP with protocol v0 (or something else that uses the fetch command of a remote helper) some refs might not be updated after the fetch. This bug was introduced in commit 989b8c4452 ("fetch-pack: put shallow info in output parameter", 2018-06-28) which allowed transports to report the refs that they have fetched in a new out-parameter "fetched_refs". If they do so, transport_fetch_refs() makes this information available to its caller. Users of "fetched_refs" rely on the following 3 properties: (1) it is the complete list of refs that was passed to transport_fetch_refs(), (2) it has shallow information (REF_STATUS_REJECT_SHALLOW set if relevant), and (3) it has updated OIDs if ref-in-want was used (introduced after 989b8c4452). In an effort to satisfy (1), whenever transport_fetch_refs() filters the refs sent to the transport, it re-adds the filtered refs to whatever the transport supplies before returning it to the user. However, the implementation in 989b8c4452 unconditionally re-adds the filtered refs without checking if the transport refrained from reporting anything in "fetched_refs" (which it is allowed to do), resulting in an incomplete list, no longer satisfying (1). An earlier effort to resolve this [1] solved the issue by readding the filtered refs only if the transport did not refrain from reporting in "fetched_refs", but after further discussion, it seems that the better solution is to revert the API change that introduced "fetched_refs". This API change was first suggested as part of a ref-in-want implementation that allowed for ref patterns and, thus, there could be drastic differences between the input refs and the refs actually fetched [2]; we eventually decided to only allow exact ref names, but this API change remained even though its necessity was decreased. Therefore, revert this API change by reverting commit 989b8c4452, and make receive_wanted_refs() update the OIDs in the sought array (like how update_shallow() updates shallow information in the sought array) instead. A test is also included to show that the user-visible bug discussed at the beginning of this commit message no longer exists.

2018-07-03fetch-pack: support negotiation tip whitelistJonathan Tan1-0/+10
During negotiation, fetch-pack eventually reports as "have" lines all commits reachable from all refs. Allow the user to restrict the commits sent in this way by providing a whitelist of tips; only the tips themselves and their ancestors will be sent. Both globs and single objects are supported. This feature is only supported for protocols that support connect or stateless-connect (such as HTTP with protocol v2). This will speed up negotiation when the repository has multiple relatively independent branches (for example, when a repository interacts with multiple repositories, such as with linux-next [1] and torvalds/linux [2]), and the user knows which local branch is likely to have commits in common with the upstream branch they are fetching.

2018-07-03fetch-pack: write shallow, then check connectivityJonathan Tan1-0/+11
When fetching, connectivity is checked after the shallow file is updated. There are 2 issues with this: (1) the connectivity check is only performed up to ancestors of existing refs (which is not thorough enough if we were deepening an existing ref in the first place), and (2) there is no rollback of the shallow file if the connectivity check fails. To solve (1), update the connectivity check to check the ancestry chain completely in the case of a deepening fetch by refraining from passing "--not --all" when invoking rev-list in connected.c. To solve (2), have fetch_pack() perform its own connectivity check before updating the shallow file. To support existing use cases in which "git fetch-pack" is used to download objects without much regard as to the connectivity of the resulting objects with respect to the existing repository, the connectivity check is only done if necessary (that is, the fetch is not a clone, and the fetch involves shallow/deepen functionality). "git fetch" still performs its own connectivity check, preserving correctness but sometimes performing redundant work. This redundancy is mitigated by the fact that fetch_pack() reports if it has performed a connectivity check itself, and if the transport supports connect or stateless-connect, it will bubble up that report so that "git fetch" knows not to perform the connectivity check in such a case. This was noticed when a user tried to deepen an existing repository by fetching with --no-shallow from a server that did not send all necessary objects - the connectivity check as run by "git fetch" succeeded, but a subsequent "git fsck" failed.

Expand the transport fetch method signature, by adding an output parameter, to allow transports to return information about the refs they have fetched. Then communicate shallow status information through this mechanism instead of by modifying the input list of refs. This does require clients to sometimes generate the ref map twice: once from the list of refs provided by the remote (as is currently done) and potentially once from the new list of refs that the fetch mechanism provides.

2018-03-15transport-helper: introduce stateless-connectBrandon Williams1-0/+6
Introduce the transport-helper capability 'stateless-connect'. This capability indicates that the transport-helper can be requested to run the 'stateless-connect' command which should attempt to make a stateless connection with a remote end. Once established, the connection can be used by the git client to communicate with the remote end natively in a stateless-rpc manner as supported by protocol v2. This means that the client must send everything the server needs in a single request as the client must not assume any state-storing on the part of the server or transport. If a stateless connection cannot be established then the remote-helper will respond in the same manner as the 'connect' command indicating that the client should fallback to using the dumb remote-helper commands. A future patch will implement the 'stateless-connect' capability in our http remote-helper (remote-curl) so that protocol v2 can be used using the http transport.
