<id>urn:sha1:bc7f5db896f59275fb0e4093dfd6891bfcece63d</id>
<content type='text'>
Rebase records the oid of HEAD before rebasing and the commit created by
"--autostash" in files in the rebase state directory. This means that
the autostash commit is never reachable from any ref or reflog and when
rebasing a detached HEAD the original HEAD can become unreachable if the
user expires HEAD's the reflog while the rebase is running. Fix this by
reading the relevant files when marking reachable commits.

Note that it is possible for the commit recorded in
.git/rebase-merge/amend to be unreachable but pruning that object does
not affect the operation of "git rebase --continue" as we're only
interested in the object id, not in the object itself.

<title>treewide: remove unnecessary includes in source files</title>

Each of these were checked with
   gcc -E -I. ${SOURCE_FILE} | grep ${HEADER_FILE}
to ensure that removing the direct inclusion of the header actually
resulted in that header no longer being included at all (i.e. that
no other header pulled it in transitively).

...except for a few cases where we verified that although the header
was brought in transitively, nothing from it was directly used in
that source file.  These cases were:
  * builtin/credential-cache.c
  * builtin/pull.c
  * builtin/send-pack.c

The vast majority of files including object-store.h did not need dir.h
nor khash.h.  Split the header into two files, and let most just depend
upon object-store-ll.h, while letting the two callers that need it
depend on the full object-store.h.

After this patch:
    $ git grep -h include..object-store | sort | uniq -c
          2 #include "object-store.h"
        129 #include "object-store-ll.h"

Diff best viewed with `--color-moved`.

<title>gc: introduce `gc.recentObjectsHook`</title>
<updated>2023-06-12T21:12:20Z</updated>
<author>

<published>2023-06-07T22:58:17Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/git/commit/?id=4dc16e2cb05fa467c3ef507679ae625f785770cf'/>
<id>urn:sha1:4dc16e2cb05fa467c3ef507679ae625f785770cf</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces a new multi-valued configuration option,
`gc.recentObjectsHook` as a means to mark certain objects as recent (and
thus exempt from garbage collection), regardless of their age.

When performing a garbage collection operation on a repository with
unreachable objects, Git makes its decision on what to do with those
object(s) based on how recent the objects are or not. Generally speaking,
unreachable-but-recent objects stay in the repository, and older objects
are discarded.

However, we have no convenient way to keep certain precious, unreachable
objects around in the repository, even if they have aged out and would
be pruned. Our options today consist of:

  - Point references at the reachability tips of any objects you
    consider precious, which may be undesirable or infeasible if there
    are many such objects.

  - Track them via the reflog, which may be undesirable since the
    reflog's lifetime is limited to that of the reference it's tracking
    (and callers may want to keep those unreachable objects around for
    longer).

  - Extend the grace period, which may keep around other objects that
    the caller *does* want to discard.

  - Manually modify the mtimes of objects you want to keep. If those
    objects are already loose, this is easy enough to do (you can just
    enumerate and `touch -m` each one).

    But if they are packed, you will either end up modifying the mtimes
    of *all* objects in that pack, or be forced to write out a loose
    copy of that object, both of which may be undesirable. Even worse,
    if they are in a cruft pack, that requires modifying its `*.mtimes`
    file by hand, since there is no exposed plumbing for this.

  - Force the caller to construct the pack of objects they want
    to keep themselves, and then mark the pack as kept by adding a
    ".keep" file. This works, but is burdensome for the caller, and
    having extra packs is awkward as you roll forward your cruft pack.

This patch introduces a new option to the above list via the
`gc.recentObjectsHook` configuration, which allows the caller to
specify a program (or set of programs) whose output is treated as a set
of objects to treat as recent, regardless of their true age.

The implementation is straightforward. Git enumerates recent objects via
`add_unseen_recent_objects_to_traversal()`, which enumerates loose and
packed objects, and eventually calls add_recent_object() on any objects
for which `want_recent_object()`'s conditions are met.

This patch modifies the recency condition from simply "is the mtime of
this object more recent than the cutoff?" to "[...] or, is this object
mentioned by at least one `gc.recentObjectsHook`?".

Depending on whether or not we are generating a cruft pack, this allows
the caller to do one of two things:

  - If generating a cruft pack, the caller is able to retain additional
    objects via the cruft pack, even if they would have otherwise been
    pruned due to their age.

  - If not generating a cruft pack, the caller is likewise able to
    retain additional objects as loose.

A potential alternative here is to introduce a new mode to alter the
contents of the reachable pack instead of the cruft one. One could
imagine a new option to `pack-objects`, say `--extra-reachable-tips`
that does the same thing as above, adding the visited set of objects
along the traversal to the pack.

But this has the unfortunate side-effect of altering the reachability
closure of that pack. If parts of the unreachable object graph mentioned
by one or more of the "extra reachable tips" programs is not closed,
then the resulting pack won't be either. This makes it impossible in the
general case to write out reachability bitmaps for that pack, since
closure is a requirement there.

Instead, keep these unreachable objects in the cruft pack (or set of
unreachable, loose objects) instead, to ensure that we can continue to
have a pack containing just reachable objects, which is always safe to
write a bitmap over.

<title>reachable.c: extract `obj_is_recent()`</title>

<content type='text'>
When enumerating objects in order to add recent ones (i.e. those whose
mtime is strictly newer than the cutoff) as tips of a reachability
traversal, `add_recent_object()` discards objects which do not meet the
recency criteria.

The subsequent commit will make checking whether or not an object is
recent also consult the list of hooks in `pack.recentHook`. Isolate this
check in its own function to keep the additional complexity outside of
`add_recent_object()`.

<title>treewide: be explicit about dependence on gettext.h</title>

<content type='text'>
Dozens of files made use of gettext functions, without explicitly
including gettext.h.  This made it more difficult to find which files
could remove a dependence on cache.h.  Make C files explicitly include
gettext.h if they are using it.

However, while compat/fsmonitor/fsm-ipc-darwin.c should also gain an
include of gettext.h, it was left out to avoid conflicting with an
in-flight topic.
