2025-08-06builtin/remote: only iterate through refs that are to be renamedPatrick Steinhardt1-9/+4
When renaming a remote we also need to rename all references accordingly. But while we only need to rename references that are contained in the "refs/remotes/$OLDNAME/" namespace, we end up using `refs_for_each_rawref()` that iterates through _all_ references. We know to exit early in the callback in case we see an irrelevant reference, but ultimately this is still a waste of compute as we knowingly iterate through references that we won't ever care about. Improve this by using `refs_for_each_rawref_in()`, which knows to only iterate through (potentially broken) references in a given prefix. The following benchmark renames a remote with a single reference in a repository that has 100k unrelated references. This shows a sizeable improvement with the "files" backend: Benchmark 1: rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD~) Time (mean ± σ): 42.6 ms ± 0.9 ms [User: 29.1 ms, System: 8.4 ms] Range (min … max): 40.1 ms … 43.3 ms 10 runs Benchmark 2: rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD) Time (mean ± σ): 31.7 ms ± 4.0 ms [User: 19.6 ms, System: 6.9 ms] Range (min … max): 27.1 ms … 36.0 ms 10 runs Summary rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD) ran 1.35 ± 0.17 times faster than rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD~) The "reftable" backend shows roughly the same absolute improvement, but given that it's already significantly faster than the "files" backend this translates to a much larger relative improvement: Benchmark 1: rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD~) Time (mean ± σ): 18.2 ms ± 0.5 ms [User: 12.7 ms, System: 3.0 ms] Range (min … max): 17.3 ms … 21.4 ms 110 runs Benchmark 2: rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD) Time (mean ± σ): 8.8 ms ± 0.5 ms [User: 3.8 ms, System: 2.9 ms] Range (min … max): 7.5 ms … 9.9 ms 167 runs Summary rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD) ran 2.07 ± 0.12 times faster than rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD~) Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-08-06builtin/remote: rework how remote refs get renamedPatrick Steinhardt1-99/+197
It was recently reported [1] that renaming a remote that has dangling symrefs is broken. This issue can be trivially reproduced: $ git init repo Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/repo/.git/ $ cd repo/ $ git remote add origin /dev/null $ git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/master $ git remote rename origin renamed $ git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/master $ git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/renamed/HEAD fatal: ref refs/remotes/renamed/HEAD is not a symbolic ref As one can see, the "HEAD" reference did not get renamed but stays in the same place. There are two issues here: - We use `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()` to resolve references, but we don't pass the `RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE` flag. Consequently, if the reference does not resolve, the function will fail and we thus ignore this branch. - We use `refs_for_each_ref()` to iterate through the old remote's references, but that function ignores broken references. Both of these issues are easy to fix. But having a closer look at the logic that renames remote references surfaces that it leaves a lot to be desired overall. The problem is that we're using O(|refs| + |symrefs| * 2) many reference transactions to perform the renames. We first delete all symrefs, then individually rename every direct reference and finally we recreate the symrefs. On the one hand this isn't even remotely an atomic operation, so if we hit any error we'll already have deleted all references. But more importantly it is also extremely inefficient. The number of transactions for symrefs doesn't really bother us too much, as there should generally only be a single symref anyway ("HEAD"). But the renames are very expensive: - For the "reftable" backend we perform auto-compaction after every single rename, which does add up. - For the "files" backend we potentially have to rewrite the "packed-refs" file on every single rename in case they are packed. The consequence here is quadratic runtime performance. Renaming a 100k references takes hours to complete. Refactor the code to use a single transaction to perform all the reference updates atomically, which speeds up the transaction quite significantly: Benchmark 1: rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD~) Time (mean ± σ): 238.770 s ± 13.857 s [User: 91.473 s, System: 143.793 s] Range (min … max): 204.863 s … 247.699 s 10 runs Benchmark 2: rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD) Time (mean ± σ): 2.103 s ± 0.036 s [User: 0.360 s, System: 1.313 s] Range (min … max): 2.011 s … 2.141 s 10 runs Summary rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD) ran 113.53 ± 6.87 times faster than rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD~) For the "reftable" backend we see a significant speedup, as well, but given that we don't have quadratic runtime behaviour there it's way less extreme: Benchmark 1: rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD~) Time (mean ± σ): 8.604 s ± 0.539 s [User: 4.985 s, System: 2.368 s] Range (min … max): 7.880 s … 9.556 s 10 runs Benchmark 2: rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD) Time (mean ± σ): 1.177 s ± 0.103 s [User: 0.446 s, System: 0.270 s] Range (min … max): 1.023 s … 1.410 s 10 runs Summary rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD) ran 7.31 ± 0.79 times faster than rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD~) There is one issue though with using atomic transactions: when nesting a remote into itself it can happen that renamed references conflict with the old referencse. For example, when we have a reference "refs/remotes/origin/foo" and we rename "origin" to "origin/foo", then we'll end up with an F/D conflict when we try to create the renamed reference "refs/remotes/origin/foo/foo". This situation is overall quite unlikely to happen: people tend to not use nested remotes, and if they do they must at the same time also have a conflicting refname. But the end result would be that the old remote references stay intact whereas all the other parts of the repository have been adjusted for the new remote name. Address this by queueing and preparing the reference update before we touch any other part of the repository. Like this we can make sure that the reference update will go through before rewriting the configuration. Otherwise, if the transaction fails to prepare we can gracefully abort the whole operation without any changes having been performed in the repository yet. Furthermore, we can detect the conflict and print some helpful advice for how the user can resolve this situation. So overall, the tradeoff is that: - Reference transactions are now all-or-nothing. This is a significant improvement over the previous state where we may have ended up with partially-renamed references. - Rewriting references is now significantly faster. - We only rewrite the configuration in case we know that all references can be updated. - But we may refuse to rename a remote in case references conflict. Overall this seems like an acceptable tradeoff. While at it, fix the handling of symbolic/broken references by using `refs_for_each_rawref()`. Add tests that cover both this reported issue and tests that exercise nesting of remotes. One thing to note: with this change we cannot provide a proper progress monitor anymore as we queue the references into the transactions as we iterate through them. Consequently, as we don't know yet how many refs there are in total, we cannot report how many percent of the operation is done anymore. But that's a small price to pay considering that you now shouldn't need the progress monitor in most situations at all anymore.

2025-08-05remote: bail early from set_head() if missing remote nameJeff King1-4/+7
In "git remote set-head", we can take varying numbers of arguments depending on whether we saw the "-d" or "-a" options. But the first argument is always the remote name. The current code is somewhat awkward in that it conditionally handles the remote name up-front like this: if (argc) remote = ...from argv[0]... and then only later decides to bail if we do not have the right number of arguments for the options we saw. This makes it hard to figure out if "remote" is always set when it needs to be. Both for humans, but also for compilers; with -Og, gcc complains that "remote" can be accessed without being initialized (although this is not true, as we'd always die with a usage message in that case). Let's instead enforce the presence of the remote argument up front, which fixes the compiler warning and is easier to understand. It does mean duplicating the code to print a usage message, but it's a single line.

2025-07-08remote: detect collisions in remote namesJeff King1-0/+17
When two remotes collide in the destinations of their fetch refspecs, the results can be confusing. For example, in this silly example: git config remote.one.url [...] git config remote.one.fetch +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/collide/* git config remote.two.url [...] git config remote.two.fetch +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/collide/* git fetch --all we may try to write to the same ref twice (once for each remote we're fetching). There's also a more subtle version of this. If you have remotes "outer/inner" and "outer", then the ref "inner/branch" on the second remote will conflict with just "branch" on the former (they both want to write to "refs/remotes/outer/inner/branch"). We probably don't want to forbid this kind of overlap completely. While the results can be confusing, there are legitimate reasons to have multiple refs write into the same namespace (e.g., if one is a "backup" of the other that is rarely fetched from). But it may be worth limiting the porcelain "git remote" command to avoid this confusion. The example above cannot be done with "git remote", because it always[1] matches the refspecs to the remote name, and you can only have one instance of each remote name. But you can still trigger the more subtle variant like this: git remote add outer [...] git remote add outer/inner [...] So let's detect that kind of name collision (in both directions) and forbid it. You can still do whatever you like by manipulating the config directly, but this should prevent the most obvious foot-gun. [1] Almost always. With the --mirror option, the resulting refspec will just write into "refs/*"; the remote name does not appear in the ref namespace at all. Our new "names must not overlap" rule is not necessary for that case, but it seems reasonable to enforce it consistently. We already require all remote names to be valid in the ref namespace, even though we won't ever use them in that context for --mirror remotes. Likewise, our new rule doesn't help with overlap here. Any two mirror remotes will always overlap (in fact, any mirror remote along with any other single one, since refs/remotes/ is a subset of the mirrored refs). I'm not sure this is worth worrying about, but if it is, we'd want an additional rule like "mirror remotes must be the only remote".

2025-07-01clean up interface for refs_warn_dangling_symrefsPhil Hord1-4/+1
The refs_warn_dangling_symrefs interface is a bit fragile as it passes in printf-formatting strings with expectations about the number of arguments. This patch series made it worse by adding a 2nd positional argument. But there are only two call sites, and they both use almost identical display options. Make this safer by moving the format strings into the function that uses them to make it easier to see when the arguments don't match. Pass a prefix string and a dry_run flag so the decision logic can be handled where needed. Signed-off-by: Phil Hord <phil.hord@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-07-01fetch-prune: optimize dangling-ref reportingPhil Hord1-2/+2
When pruning during `git fetch` we check each pruned ref against the ref_store one at a time to decide whether to report it as dangling. This causes every local ref to be scanned for each ref being pruned. If there are N refs in the repo and M refs being pruned, this code is O(M*N). However, `git remote prune` uses a very similar function that is only O(N*log(M)). Remove the wasteful ref scanning for each pruned ref and use the faster version already available in refs_warn_dangling_symrefs. Change the message to include the original refname since the message is no longer printed immediately after the line that did just print the refname. In a repo with 126,000 refs, where I was pruning 28,000 refs, this code made about 3.6 billion calls to strcmp and consumed 410 seconds of CPU. (Invariably in that time, my remote would timeout and the fetch would fail anyway.) After this change, the same operation completes in under a second.

2025-04-29treewide: convert users of `repo_has_object_file()` to `has_object()`Patrick Steinhardt1-1/+2
As the comment of `repo_has_object_file()` and its `_with_flags()` variant tells us, these functions are considered to be deprecated in favor of `has_object()`. There are a couple of slight benefits in favor of the replacement: - The new function has a short-and-sweet name. - More explicit defaults: `has_object()` doesn't fetch missing objects via promisor remotes, and neither does it reload packfiles if an object wasn't found by default. This ensures that it becomes immediately obvious when a simple object existence check may result in expensive actions. Most importantly though, it is confusing that we have two sets of functions that ultimately do the same thing, but with different defaults. Start sunsetting `repo_has_object_file()` and its `_with_flags()` sibling by replacing all callsites with `has_object()`: - `repo_has_object_file(...)` is equivalent to `has_object(..., HAS_OBJECT_RECHECK_PACKED | HAS_OBJECT_FETCH_PROMISOR)`. - `repo_has_object_file_with_flags(..., OBJECT_INFO_QUICK | OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT)` is equivalent to `has_object(..., 0)`. - `repo_has_object_file_with_flags(..., OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT)` is equivalent to `has_object(..., HAS_OBJECT_RECHECK_PACKED)`. - `repo_has_object_file_with_flags(..., OBJECT_INFO_QUICK)` is equivalent to `has_object(..., HAS_OBJECT_FETCH_PROMISOR)`.

Note that `git_path()` returned a string allocated via `get_pathname()`, which uses a rotating set of statically allocated buffers. Consequently, callers didn't have to free the returned string. The same isn't true for `repo_common_path()`, so we also have to add logic to free the returned strings. This refactoring also allows us to remove `repo_common_pathv()` as well as `get_pathname()` from the public interface.

Rename the function `omit_name_by_refspec()` to `refname_matches_negative_refspec_item()` to provide clearer intent. The previous function name was vague and did not accurately describe its purpose. By using `refname_matches_negative_refspec_item`, make the function's purpose more intuitive, clarifying that it checks if a reference name matches any negative refspec. Rename function parameters for consistency with existing naming conventions. Use `refname` instead of `name` to align with terminology in `refs.h`. Remove the redundant doc comment since the function name is now self-explanatory. Signed-off-by: Meet Soni <meetsoni3017@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2025-01-24remote: announce removal of "branches/" and "remotes/"Patrick Steinhardt1-0/+2
Back when Git was in its infancy, remotes were configured via separate files in "branches/" (back in 2005). This mechanism was replaced later that year with the "remotes/" directory. Both mechanisms have eventually been replaced by config-based remotes, and it is very unlikely that anybody still uses these directories to configure their remotes. Both of these directories have been marked as deprecated, one in 2005 and the other one in 2011. Follow through with the deprecation and finally announce the removal of these features in Git 3.0.

Stop using `the_repository` in the "progress" subsystem by passing in a repository when initializing `struct progress`. Furthermore, store a pointer to the repository in that struct so that we can pass it to the trace2 API when logging information. Adjust callers accordingly by using `the_repository`. While there may be some callers that have a repository available in their context, this trivial conversion allows for easier verification and bubbles up the use of `the_repository` by one level.

In 9b1cb5070f (builtin: add a repository parameter for builtin functions, 2024-09-13) the repository was passed down to all builtin commands. This allowed the repository to be passed down to lower layers without depending on the global `the_repository` variable. Continue this work by also passing down the repository parameter from the command to sub-commands. This will help pass down the repository to other subsystems and cleanup usage of global variables like 'the_repository' and 'the_hash_algo'.

Currently, set-head --auto will print a message saying "remote/HEAD set to branch", which implies something was changed. Change the output of --auto, so the output actually reflects what was done: a) set a previously unset HEAD, b) change HEAD because remote changed or c) no updates. As edge cases, if HEAD is changed from a previous symbolic reference that was not a remote branch, explicitly call attention to this fact, and also notify the user if the previous reference was not a symbolic reference.

2024-11-12refspec: store raw refspecs inside refspec_itemJeff King1-4/+4
The refspec struct keeps two matched arrays: one for the refspec_item structs and one for the original raw refspec strings. The main reason for this is that there are other users of refspec_item that do not care about the raw strings. But it does make managing the refspec struct awkward, as we must keep the two arrays in sync. This has led to bugs in the past (both leaks and double-frees). Let's just store a copy of the raw refspec string directly in each refspec_item struct. This simplifies the handling at a small cost: 1. Direct callers of refspec_item_init() will now get an extra copy of the refspec string, even if they don't need it. This should be negligible, as the struct is already allocating two strings for the parsed src/dst values (and we tend to only do it sparingly anyway for things like the TAG_REFSPEC literal). 2. Users of refspec_appendf() will now generate a temporary string, copy it, and then free the result (versus handing off ownership of the temporary string). We could get around this by having a "nodup" variant of refspec_item_init(), but it doesn't seem worth the extra complexity for something that is not remotely a hot code path. Code which accesses refspec->raw now needs to look at refspec->item.raw. Other callers which just use refspec_item directly can remain the same. We'll free the allocated string in refspec_item_clear(), which they should be calling anyway to free src/dst. One subtle note: refspec_item_init() can return an error, in which case we'll still have set its "raw" field. But that is also true of the "src" and "dst" fields, so any caller which does not _clear() the failed item is already potentially leaking. In practice most code just calls die() on an error anyway, but you can see the exception in valid_fetch_refspec(), which does correctly call _clear() even on error.

2024-11-12refspec: drop separate raw_nr countJeff King1-4/+4
A refspec struct contains zero or more refspec_item structs, along with matching "raw" strings. The items and raw strings are kept in separate arrays, but those arrays will always have the same length (because we write them only via refspec_append_nodup(), which grows both). This can lead to bugs when manipulating the array, since the arrays and lengths must be modified in lockstep. For example, the bug fixed in the previous commit, which forgot to decrement raw_nr. So let's get rid of "raw_nr" and have only "nr", making this kind of bug impossible (and also making it clear that the two are always matched, something that existing code already assumed but was not guaranteed by the interface). Even though we'd expect "alloc" and "raw_alloc" to likewise move in lockstep, we still need to keep separate counts there if we want to continue to use ALLOC_GROW() for both. Conceptually this would all be simpler if refspec_item just held onto its own raw string, and we had a single array. But there are callers which use refspec_item outside of "struct refspec" (and so don't hold on to a matching "raw" string at all), which we'd possibly need to adjust. So let's not worry about refactoring that for now, and just get rid of the redundant count variable. That is the first step on the road to combining them anyway.
