refs: allow passing flags when setting up a transaction

2024-11-20T22:59:14Z

Allow passing flags when setting up a transaction such that the behaviour of the transaction itself can be altered. This functionality will be used in a subsequent patch. Adapt callers accordingly. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

http-walker: use object_id instead of bare hash

2024-10-25T21:35:46Z

We long ago switched most code to using object_id structs instead of bare "unsigned char *" hashes. This gives us more type safety from the compiler, and generally makes it easier to understand what we expect in each parameter. But the dumb-http code has lagged behind. And indeed, the whole "walker" subsystem interface has the same problem, though http-walker is the only user left. So let's update the walker interface to pass object_id structs (which we already have anyway at all call sites!), and likewise use those within the http-walker methods that it calls. This cleans up the dumb-http code a bit, but will also let us fix a few more commonly used helper functions. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau

refs: add referent to each_ref_fn

2024-08-09T15:47:34Z

Add a parameter to each_ref_fn so that callers to the ref APIs that use this function as a callback can have acess to the unresolved value of a symbolic ref. Signed-off-by: John Cai Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

global: introduce `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro

2024-06-14T17:26:33Z

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

cocci: apply rules to rewrite callers of "refs" interfaces

Apply the rules that rewrite callers of "refs" interfaces to explicitly pass `struct ref_store`. The resulting patch has been applied with the `--whitespace=fix` option. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

refs: accept symref values in `ref_transaction_update()`

2024-05-07T15:51:49Z

The function `ref_transaction_update()` obtains ref information and flags to create a `ref_update` and add them to the transaction at hand. To extend symref support in transactions, we need to also accept the old and new ref targets and process it. This commit adds the required parameters to the function and modifies all call sites. The two parameters added are `new_target` and `old_target`. The `new_target` is used to denote what the reference should point to when the transaction is applied. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed. The `old_target` denotes the value the reference must have before the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL, meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked. We also update the internal function `ref_transaction_add_update()` similarly to take the two new parameters. Signed-off-by: Karthik Nayak Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

tree-walk: init_tree_desc take an oid to get the hash algorithm

2023-10-02T21:57:40Z

To make it possible for git ls-tree to display the tree encoded in the hash algorithm of the oid specified to git ls-tree, update init_tree_desc to take as a parameter the oid of the tree object. Update all callers of init_tree_desc and init_tree_desc_gently to pass the oid of the tree object. Use the oid of the tree object to discover the hash algorithm of the oid and store that hash algorithm in struct tree_desc. Use the hash algorithm in decode_tree_entry and update_tree_entry_internal to handle reading a tree object encoded in a hash algorithm that differs from the repositories hash algorithm.

object-store-ll.h: split this header out of object-store.h

2023-06-21T20:39:54Z

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`.
