object-file: get rid of `the_repository` in `finalize_object_file()`

2025-07-17T05:16:14Z

We implicitly depend on `the_repository` when moving an object file into place in `finalize_object_file()`. Get rid of this global dependency by passing in a repository. Note that one might be pressed to inject an object database instead of a repository. But the function doesn't really care about the ODB at all. All it does is to move a file into place while checking whether there is any collision. As such, the functionality it provides is independent of the object database and only needs the repository as parameter so that it can adjust permissions of the file we are about to finalize.

odb: get rid of `the_repository` when handling the primary source

2025-07-01T21:46:36Z

The functions `set_temporary_primary_odb()` and `restore_primary_odb()` are responsible for managing a temporary primary source for the database. Both of these functions implicitly rely on `the_repository`. Refactor them to instead take an explicit object database parameter as argument and adjust callers. Rename the functions accordingly.

odb: get rid of `the_repository` when handling alternates

2025-07-01T21:46:36Z

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. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

object-store: rename files to "odb.{c,h}"

2025-07-01T21:46:34Z

In the preceding commits we have renamed the structures contained in "object-store.h" to `struct object_database` and `struct odb_backend`. As such, the code files "object-store.{c,h}" are confusingly named now. Rename them to "odb.{c,h}" accordingly. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

object-store: rename `object_directory` to `odb_source`

2025-07-01T21:46:34Z

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. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

object-store: merge "object-store-ll.h" and "object-store.h"

2025-04-15T15:24:37Z

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. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

path: adjust last remaining users of `the_repository`

2025-02-28T21:54:11Z

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 Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

tmp-objdir: stop using `the_repository`

2024-12-18T18:44:31Z

Stop using `the_repository` in the "tmp-objdir" subsystem by passing in the repostiroy when creating a new temporary object directory. While we could trivially update the caller to pass in the hash algorithm used by the index itself, we instead pass in `the_hash_algo`. This is mostly done to stay consistent with the rest of the code in that file, which isn't prepared to handle arbitrary repositories, either.

global: trivial conversions to fix `-Wsign-compare` warnings

2024-12-06T11:20:04Z

We have a bunch of loops which iterate up to an unsigned boundary using a signed index, which generates warnigs because we compare a signed and unsigned value in the loop condition. Address these sites for trivial cases and enable `-Wsign-compare` warnings for these code units. This patch only adapts those code units where we can drop the `DISABLE_SIGN_COMPARE_WARNINGS` macro in the same step. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

global: mark code units that generate warnings with `-Wsign-compare`

2024-12-06T11:20:02Z

Mark code units that generate warnings with `-Wsign-compare`. This allows for a structured approach to get rid of all such warnings over time in a way that can be easily measured. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
