2026-01-14builtin/pack-objects: exclude promisor objects with "--stdin-packs"Patrick Steinhardt
It is currently not possible to combine "--exclude-promisor-objects" with "--stdin-packs" because both flags want to set up a revision walk to enumerate the objects to pack. In a subsequent commit though we want to extend geometric repacks to support promisor objects, and for that we need to handle the combination of both flags. There are two cases we have to think about here: - "--stdin-packs" asks us to pack exactly the objects part of the specified packfiles. It is somewhat questionable what to do in the case where the user asks us to exclude promisor objects, but at the same time explicitly passes a promisor pack to us. For now, we simply abort the request as it is self-contradicting. As we have also been dying before this commit there is no regression here. - "--stdin-packs=follow" does the same as the first flag, but it also asks us to include all objects transitively reachable from any object in the packs we are about to repack. This is done by doing the revision walk mentioned further up. Luckily, fixing this case is trivial: we only need to modify the revision walk to also set the `exclude_promisor_objects` field. Note that we do not support the "--exclude-promisor-objects-best-effort" flag for now as we don't need it to support geometric repacking with promisor objects.

2026-01-12packfile: drop repository parameter from `packed_object_info()`Patrick Steinhardt
The function `packed_object_info()` takes a packfile and offset and returns the object info for the corresponding object. Despite these two parameters though it also takes a repository pointer. This is redundant information though, as `struct packed_git` already has a repository pointer that is always populated. Drop the redundant parameter.

2026-01-09packfile: move packfile store into object sourcePatrick Steinhardt
The packfile store is a member of `struct object_database`, which means that we have a single store per database. This doesn't really make much sense though: each source connected to the database has its own set of packfiles, so there is a conceptual mismatch here. This hasn't really caused much of a problem in the past, but with the advent of pluggable object databases this is becoming more of a problem because some of the sources may not even use packfiles in the first place. Move the packfile store down by one level from the object database into the object database source. This ensures that each source now has its own packfile store, and we can eventually start to abstract it away entirely so that the caller doesn't even know what kind of store it uses. Note that we only need to adjust a relatively small number of callers, way less than one might expect. This is because most callers are using `repo_for_each_pack()`, which handles enumeration of all packfiles that exist in the repository. So for now, none of these callers need to be adapted. The remaining callers that iterate through the packfiles directly and that need adjustment are those that are a bit more tangled with packfiles. These will be adjusted over time. Note that this patch only moves the packfile store, and there is still a bunch of functions that seemingly operate on a packfile store but that end up iterating over all sources. These will be adjusted in subsequent commits. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-01-09packfile: refactor kept-pack cache to work with packfile storesPatrick Steinhardt
The kept pack cache is a cache of packfiles that are marked as kept either via an accompanying ".kept" file or via an in-memory flag. The cache can be retrieved via `kept_pack_cache()`, where one needs to pass in a repository. Ultimately though the kept-pack cache is a property of the packfile store, and this causes problems in a subsequent commit where we want to move down the packfile store to be a per-object-source entity. Prepare for this and refactor the kept-pack cache to work on top of a packfile store instead. While at it, rename both the function and flags specific to the kept-pack cache so that they can be properly attributed to the respective subsystems.

In the preceding commits we have turned `struct odb_read_stream` into a publicly visible structure.

2025-11-04refs: expose peeled object ID via the iteratorPatrick Steinhardt
Both the "files" and "reftable" backend are able to store peeled values for tags in the respective formats. This allows for a more efficient lookup of the target object of such a tag without having to manually peel via the object database. The infrastructure to access these peeled object IDs is somewhat funky though. When iterating through objects, we store a pointer reference to the current iterator in a global variable. The callbacks invoked by that iterator are then expected to call `peel_iterated_oid()`, which checks whether the globally-stored iterator's current reference refers to the one handed into that function. If so, we ask the iterator to peel the object, otherwise we manually peel the object via the object database. Depending on global state like this is somewhat weird and also quite fragile. Introduce a new `struct reference::peeled_oid` field that can be populated by the reference backends. This field can be accessed via a new function `reference_get_peeled_oid()` that either uses that value, if set, or alternatively peels via the ODB. With this change we don't have to rely on global state anymore, but make the peeled object ID available to the callback functions directly. Adjust trivial callers that already have a `struct reference` available. Remaining callers will be adjusted in subsequent commits.

2025-11-04refs: introduce wrapper struct for `each_ref_fn`Patrick Steinhardt
The `each_ref_fn` callback function type is used across our code base for several different functions that iterate through reference. There's a bunch of callbacks implementing this type, which makes any changes to the callback signature extremely noisy. An example of the required churn is e8207717f1 (refs: add referent to each_ref_fn, 2024-08-09): adding a single argument required us to change 48 files. It was already proposed back then [1] that we might want to introduce a wrapper structure to alleviate the pain going forward. While this of course requires the same kind of global refactoring as just introducing a new parameter, it at least allows us to more change the callback type afterwards by just extending the wrapper structure. One counterargument to this refactoring is that it makes the structure more opaque. While it is obvious which callsites need to be fixed up when we change the function type, it's not obvious anymore once we use a structure. That being said, we only have a handful of sites that actually need to populate this wrapper structure: our ref backends, "refs/iterator.c" as well as very few sites that invoke the iterator callback functions directly. Introduce this wrapper structure so that we can adapt the iterator interfaces more readily.

2025-10-30packfile: track packs via the MRU list exclusivelyPatrick Steinhardt
We track packfiles via two different lists: - `struct packfile_store::packs` is a list that sorts local packs first. In addition, these packs are sorted so that younger packs are sorted towards the front. - `struct packfile_store::mru` is a list that sorts packs so that most-recently used packs are at the front. The reasoning behind the ordering in the `packs` list is that younger objects stored in the local object store tend to be accessed more frequently, and that is certainly true for some cases. But there are going to be lots of cases where that isn't true. Especially when traversing history it is likely that one needs to access many older objects, and due to our housekeeping it is very likely that almost all of those older objects will be contained in one large pack that is oldest. So whether or not the ordering makes sense really depends on the use case at hand. A flexible approach like our MRU list addresses that need, as it will sort packs towards the front that are accessed all the time. Intuitively, this approach is thus able to satisfy more use cases more efficiently. This reasoning casts some doubt on whether or not it really makes sense to track packs via two different lists. It causes confusion, and it is not clear whether there are use cases where the `packs` list really is such an obvious choice. Merge these two lists into one most-recently-used list. Note that there is one important edge case: `for_each_packed_object()` uses the MRU list to iterate through packs, and then it lists each object in those packs. This would have the effect that we now sort the current pack towards the front, thus modifying the list of packfiles we are iterating over, with the consequence that we'll see an infinite loop. This edge case is worked around by introducing a new field that allows us to skip updating the MRU. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-10-30builtin/pack-objects: simplify logic to find kept or nonlocal objectsPatrick Steinhardt
The function `has_sha1_pack_kept_or_nonlocal()` takes an object ID and then searches through packed objects to figure out whether the object exists in a kept or non-local pack. As a performance optimization we remember the packfile that contains a given object ID so that the next call to the function first checks that same packfile again. The way this is written is rather hard to follow though, as the caching mechanism is intertwined with the loop that iterates through the packs. Consequently, we need to do some gymnastics to re-start the iteration if the cached pack does not contain the objects. Refactor this so that we check the cached packfile at the beginning. We don't have to re-verify whether the packfile meets the properties as we have already verified those when storing the pack in `last_found` in the first place. So all we need to do is to use `find_pack_entry_one()` to check whether the pack contains the object ID, and to skip the cached pack in the loop so that we don't search it twice. Furthermore, stop using the `(void *)1` sentinel value and instead use a simple `NULL` pointer to indicate that we don't have a last-found pack yet. This refactoring significantly simplifies the logic and makes it much easier to follow. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-10-30packfile: move the MRU list into the packfile storePatrick Steinhardt
Packfiles have two lists associated to them: - A list that keeps track of packfiles in the order that they were added to a packfile store. - A list that keeps track of packfiles in most-recently-used order so that packfiles that are more likely to contain a specific object are ordered towards the front. Both of these lists are hosted by `struct packed_git` itself, So to identify all packfiles in a repository you simply need to grab the first packfile and then iterate the `->next` pointers or the MRU list. This pattern has the problem that all packfiles are part of the same list, regardless of whether or not they belong to the same object source. With the upcoming pluggable object database effort this needs to change: packfiles should be contained by a single object source, and reading an object from any such packfile should use that source to look up the object. Consequently, we need to break up the global lists of packfiles into per-object-source lists. A first step towards this goal is to move those lists out of `struct packed_git` and into the packfile store. While the packfile store is currently sitting on the `struct object_database` level, the intent is to push it down one level into the `struct odb_source` in a subsequent patch series. Introduce a new `struct packfile_list` that is used to manage lists of packfiles and use it to store the list of most-recently-used packfiles in `struct packfile_store`. For now, the new list type is only used in a single spot, but we'll expand its usage in subsequent patches.

2025-09-22treewide: pass strvecs around for setup_revisions_from_strvec()Jeff King
The previous commit converted callers of setup_revisions() with a strvec to use the safer and easier _from_strvec() variant. Let's now convert spots that don't directly have a strvec, but receive an argc/argv pair that eventually comes from one. We'll instead pass the strvec down to the point where we call setup_revisions(). That makes these functions slightly less flexible if they were to grow other callers that don't use strvecs, but this rigidity is buying us some safety. It is only safe to pass the free_removed_argv_elements option to setup_revisions() if we know the elements of argv/argc are allocated on the heap. That isn't communicated in the type system when we are passed the bare elements. But if we get a strvec, we know that the elements are allocated strings. And at any rate, each of these modified functions has only a single caller (that has a strvec), so the loss of flexibility is unlikely to ever matter.

2025-08-11midx: drop redundant `struct repository` parameterPatrick Steinhardt
There are a couple of functions that take both a `struct repository` and a `struct multi_pack_index`. This provides redundant information though without much benefit given that the multi-pack index already has a pointer to its owning repository. Drop the `struct repository` parameter from such functions. While at it, reorder the list of parameters of `fill_midx_entry()` so that the MIDX comes first to better align with our coding guidelines.

2025-07-23config: drop `git_config()` wrapperPatrick Steinhardt
In 036876a1067 (config: hide functions using `the_repository` by default, 2024-08-13) we have moved around a bunch of functions in the config subsystem that depend on `the_repository`. Those function have been converted into mere wrappers around their equivalent function that takes in a repository as parameter, and the intent was that we'll eventually remove those wrappers to make the dependency on the global repository variable explicit at the callsite. Follow through with that intent and remove `git_config()`. All callsites are adjusted so that they use `repo_config(the_repository, ...)` instead. While some callsites might already have a repository available, this mechanical conversion is the exact same as the current situation and thus cannot cause any regression. Those sites should eventually be cleaned up in a later patch series. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-07-16object-file: get rid of `the_repository` in `force_object_loose()`Patrick Steinhardt
The function `force_object_loose()` forces an object to become a loose object in case it only exists in its packed form. To do so it implicitly relies on `the_repository`. Refactor the function by passing a `struct odb_source` as parameter. While the check whether any such loose object exists already acts on the whole object database, writing the loose object happens in one specific source.

2025-07-16object-file: get rid of `the_repository` in loose object iteratorsPatrick Steinhardt
The iterators for loose objects still rely on `the_repository`. Refactor them: - `for_each_loose_file_in_objdir()` is refactored so that the caller is now expected to pass an `odb_source` as parameter instead of the path to that source. Furthermore, it is renamed accordingly to `for_each_loose_file_in_source()`. - `for_each_loose_object()` is refactored to take in an object database now and calls the above function in a loop. This allows us to get rid of the global dependency. Adjust callers accordingly. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-07-16object-file: get rid of `the_repository` in `finalize_object_file()`Patrick Steinhardt
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.

2025-07-16object-file: get rid of `the_repository` in `has_loose_object()`Patrick Steinhardt
We implicitly depend on `the_repository` in `has_loose_object()`. Refactor the function to accept an `odb_source` as input that should be checked for such a loose object. This refactoring changes semantics of the function to not check the whole object database for such a loose object anymore, but instead we now only check that single source. Existing callers thus need to loop through all sources manually now. While this change may seem illogical at first, whether or not an object exists in a specific format should be answered by the source using that format. As such, we can eventually convert this into a generic function `odb_source_has_object()` that simply checks whether a given object exists in an object source. And as we will know about the format that any given source uses it allows us to derive whether the object exists in a given format. This change also makes `has_loose_object_nonlocal()` obsolete. The only caller of this function is adapted so that it skips the primary object source. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2025-07-15packfile: refactor `get_multi_pack_index()` to work on sourcesPatrick Steinhardt
The function `get_multi_pack_index()` loads multi-pack indices via `prepare_packed_git()` and then returns the linked list of multi-pack indices that is stored in `struct object_database`. That list is in the process of being removed though in favor of storing the MIDX as part of the object database source it belongs to. Refactor `get_multi_pack_index()` so that it returns the multi-pack index for a single object source. Callers are now expected to call this function for each source they are interested in. This requires them to iterate through alternates, so we have to prepare alternate object sources before doing so.

2025-07-01odb: rename `read_object_with_reference()`Patrick Steinhardt
Rename `read_object_with_reference()` to `odb_read_object_peeled()` to match other functions related to the object database and our modern coding guidelines. Furthermore though, the old name didn't really describe very well what this function actually does, which is to walk down any commit and tag objects until an object of the required type has been found. This is generally referred to as "peeling", so the new name should be way more descriptive. No compatibility wrapper is introduced as the function is not used a lot throughout our codebase.
