The "object-store-ll.h" header has been introduced to keep transitive
header dependendcies and compile times at bay. Now that we have created
a new "object-store.c" file though we can easily move the last remaining
additional bit of "object-store.h", the `odb_path_map`, out of the
header.

Do so. As the "object-store.h" header is now equivalent to its low-level
alternative we drop the latter and inline it into the former.

<title>bundle: fix non-linear performance scaling with refs</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/git/commit/?id=a52d459e72b890c192485002ec518bb9e01c19a6'/>
<id>urn:sha1:a52d459e72b890c192485002ec518bb9e01c19a6</id>
<content type='text'>
The 'git bundle create' command has non-linear performance with the
number of refs in the repository. Benchmarking the command shows that
a large portion of the time (~75%) is spent in the
`object_array_remove_duplicates()` function.

The `object_array_remove_duplicates()` function was added in
b2a6d1c686 (bundle: allow the same ref to be given more than once,
2009-01-17) to skip duplicate refs provided by the user from being
written to the bundle. Since this is an O(N^2) algorithm, in repos with
large number of references, this can take up a large amount of time.

Let's instead use a 'strset' to skip duplicates inside
`write_bundle_refs()`. This improves the performance by around 6 times
when tested against in repository with 100000 refs:

Benchmark 1: bundle (refcount = 100000, revision = master)
  Time (mean ± σ):     14.653 s ±  0.203 s    [User: 13.940 s, System: 0.762 s]
  Range (min … max):   14.237 s … 14.920 s    10 runs

Benchmark 2: bundle (refcount = 100000, revision = HEAD)
  Time (mean ± σ):      2.394 s ±  0.023 s    [User: 1.684 s, System: 0.798 s]
  Range (min … max):    2.364 s …  2.425 s    10 runs

Summary
  bundle (refcount = 100000, revision = HEAD) ran
    6.12 ± 0.10 times faster than bundle (refcount = 100000, revision = master)

Previously, `object_array_remove_duplicates()` ensured that both the
refname and the object it pointed to were checked for duplicates. The
new approach, implemented within `write_bundle_refs()`, eliminates
duplicate refnames without comparing the objects they reference. This
works because, for bundle creation, we only need to prevent duplicate
refs from being written to the bundle header. The `revs-&gt;pending` array
can contain duplicates of multiple types.

First, references which resolve to the same refname. For e.g. "git
bundle create out.bdl master master" or "git bundle create out.bdl
refs/heads/master refs/heads/master" or "git bundle create out.bdl
master refs/heads/master". In these scenarios we want to prevent writing
"refs/heads/master" twice to the bundle header. Since both the refnames
here would point to the same object (unless there is a race), we do not
need to check equality of the object.

Second, refnames which are duplicates but do not point to the same
object. This can happen when we use an exclusion criteria. For e.g. "git
bundle create out.bdl master master^!", Here `revs-&gt;pending` would
contain two elements, both with refname set to "master". However, each
of them would be pointing to an INTERESTING and UNINTERESTING object
respectively. Since we only write refnames with INTERESTING objects to
the bundle header, we perform our duplicate checks only on such objects.

<title>bundle: avoid closing file descriptor twice</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9a84794ad8ad1bc8ec6b2c4e1592a1f63765e753</id>
<content type='text'>
Already when introduced in c7a8a16239 (Add bundle transport,
2007-09-10), the `bundle` transport had a bug where it would open a file
descriptor to the bundle file and then close it _twice_: First, the file
descriptor (`data-&gt;fd`) is passed to `unbundle()`, which would use it as
the `stdin` of the `index-pack` process, which as a consequence would
close it via `start_command()`. However, `data-&gt;fd` would still hold the
numerical value of the file descriptor, and `close_bundle()` would see
that and happily close it again.

This seems not to have caused too many problems in almost two decades,
but I encountered a situation today where it _does_ cause problems: In
i686 variants of Git for Windows, it seems that file descriptors are
reused quickly after they have been closed.

In the particular scenario I faced, `git fetch &lt;bundle&gt; &lt;ref&gt;` gets the
same file descriptor value when opening the bundle file and importing
its embedded packfile (which implicitly closes the file descriptor) and
then when opening a pack file in `fetch_and_consume_refs()` while
looking up an object's header.

Later on, after the bundle has been imported (and the `close_bundle()`
function erroneously closes the file descriptor that has _already_ been
closed when using it as `stdin` for `git index-pack`), the same file
descriptor value has now been reused via `use_pack()`. Now, when either
the recursive fetch (which defaults to "on", unfortunately) or a
commit-graph update needs to `mmap()` the packfile, it fails due to a
now-invalid file descriptor that _should_ point to the pack file but
doesn't anymore.

To fix that, let's invalidate `data-&gt;fd` after calling `unbundle()`.
That way, `close_bundle()` does not close a file descriptor that may
have been reused for something different. While at it, document that
`unbundle()` closes the file descriptor, and ensure that it also does
that when failing to verify the bundle.

Luckily, this bug does not affect the bundle URI feature, it only
affects the `git fetch &lt;bundle&gt;` code path.

Note that this patch does not _completely_ clarifies who is responsible
to close that file descriptor, as `run_command()` may fail _without_
closing `cmd-&gt;in`. Addressing this issue thoroughly, however, would
require a rather thorough re-design of the `start_command()` and
`finish_command()` functionality to make it a lot less murky who is
responsible for what file descriptors.

At least this here patch is relatively easy to reason about, and
addresses a hard failure (`fatal: mmap: could not determine filesize`)
at the expense of leaking a file descriptor under very rare
circumstances in which `git fetch` would error out anyway.

<id>urn:sha1:dd1072dfa8bb3ab3e4fc300403b2bb2f3c68e6ed</id>
<content type='text'>
The changes in commit c06793a4ed (allow git-bundle to create bottomless
bundle, 2007-08-08) ensure annotated tags are properly preserved when
creating a bundle using a revision range operation.

At the time the range notation would peel the ends to their
corresponding commit, meaning ref v2.0 would point to the v2.0^0 commit.
So the above workaround was introduced. This code looks up the ref
before it's written to the bundle, and if the ref doesn't point to the
object we expect (for tags this would be a tag object), we skip the ref
from the bundle. Instead, when the ref is a tag that's the positive end
of the range (e.g. v2.0 from the range "v1.0..v2.0"), then that ref is
written to the bundle instead.

Later, in 895c5ba3c1 (revision: do not peel tags used in range notation,
2013-09-19), the behavior of parsing ranges was changed and the problem
was fixed at the cause. But the workaround in bundle.c was not reverted.

Now it seems this workaround can cause a race condition. git-bundle(1)
uses setup_revisions() to parse the input into `struct rev_info`. Later,
in write_bundle_refs(), it uses this info to write refs to the bundle.
As mentioned at this point each ref is looked up again and checked
whether it points to the object we expect. If not, the ref is not
written to the bundle. But, when creating a bundle in a heavy traffic
repository (a repo with many references, and frequent ref updates) it's
possible a branch ref was updated between setup_revisions() and
write_bundle_refs() and thus the extra check causes the ref to be
skipped.

The workaround was originally added to deal with tags, but the code path
also gets hit by non-tag refs, causing this race condition. Because it's
no longer needed, remove it and fix the possible race condition.

<title>bundle: support fsck message configuration</title>

<content type='text'>
If the `VERIFY_BUNDLE_FLAG` is set during `unbundle()`, the
git-index-pack(1) spawned is configured with the `--fsck-options` flag
to perform fsck verification. With this flag enabled, there is not a way
to configure fsck message severity though.

Extend the `unbundle_opts` type to store fsck message severity
configuration and update `unbundle()` to conditionally append it to the
`--fsck-objects` flag if provided. This enables `unbundle()` call sites
to support optionally setting the severity for specific fsck messages.

<content type='text'>
When `unbundle()` is invoked, fsck verification may be configured by
passing the `VERIFY_BUNDLE_FSCK` flag. This mechanism allows fsck checks
on the bundle to be enabled or disabled entirely. To facilitate more
fine-grained fsck configuration, additional context must be provided to
`unbundle()`.

Introduce the `unbundle_opts` type, which wraps the existing
`verify_bundle_flags`, to facilitate future extension of `unbundle()`
configuration. Also update `unbundle()` and its call sites to accept
this new options type instead of the flags directly. The end behavior is
functionally the same, but allows for the set of configurable options to
be extended. This is leveraged in a subsequent commit to enable fsck
message severity configuration.
