2025-02-04remote: rename query_refspecs functionsMeet Soni
Rename functions related to handling refspecs in preparation for their move from `remote.c` to `refspec.c`. Update their names to better reflect their intent: - `query_refspecs()` -> `refspec_find_match()` for clarity, as it finds a single matching refspec. - `query_refspecs_multiple()` -> `refspec_find_all_matches()` to better reflect that it collects all matching refspecs instead of returning just the first match. - `query_matches_negative_refspec()` -> `refspec_find_negative_match()` for consistency with the updated naming convention, even though this static function didn't strictly require renaming.

2025-02-04refspec: relocate refname_matches_negative_refspec_itemMeet Soni
Move the functions `refname_matches_negative_refspec_item()`, `refspec_match()`, and `match_name_with_pattern()` from `remote.c` to `refspec.c`. These functions focus on refspec matching, so placing them in `refspec.c` aligns with the separation of concerns. Keep refspec-related logic in `refspec.c` and remote-specific logic in `remote.c` for better code organization.

2025-02-04remote: rename function omit_name_by_refspecMeet Soni
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`.

2025-01-24remote: announce removal of "branches/" and "remotes/"Patrick Steinhardt
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 Both mechanisms have eventually been replaced by config-based remotes, and it is very unlikely that anybody still uses these directories to configure their remotes.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.

2024-12-06fetch set_head: add warn-if-not-$branch optionBence Ferdinandy
Currently if we want to have a remote/HEAD locally that is different from the one on the remote, but we still want to get a warning if remote changes HEAD, our only option is to have an indiscriminate warning with "follow_remote_head" set to "warn". Add a new option "warn-if-not-$branch", where $branch is a branch name we do not wish to get a warning about. If the remote HEAD is $branch do not warn, otherwise, behave as "warn". E.g. let's assume, that our remote origin has HEAD set to "master", but locally we have "git remote set-head origin seen". Setting 'remote.origin.followRemoteHEAD = "warn"' will always print a warning, even though the remote has not changed HEAD from "master". Setting 'remote.origin.followRemoteHEAD = "warn-if-not-master" will squelch the warning message, unless the remote changes HEAD from "master". Note, that should the remote change HEAD to "seen" (which we have locally), there will still be no warning. Improve the advice message in report_set_head to also include silencing the warning message with "warn-if-not-$branch".

2024-12-02fetch: add configuration for set_head behaviourBence Ferdinandy
In the current implementation, if refs/remotes/$remote/HEAD does not exist, running fetch will create it, but if it does exist it will not do anything, which is a somewhat safe and minimal approach. Unfortunately, for users who wish to NOT have refs/remotes/$remote/HEAD set for any reason (e.g. so that `git rev-parse origin` doesn't accidentally point them somewhere they do not want to), there is no way to remove this behaviour. On the other side of the spectrum, users may want fetch to automatically update HEAD or at least give them a warning if something changed on the remote. Introduce a new setting, remote.$remote.followRemoteHEAD with four options: - "never": do not ever do anything, not even create - "create": the current behaviour, now the default behaviour - "warn": print a message if remote and local HEAD is different - "always": silently update HEAD on every change Signed-off-by: Bence Ferdinandy <bence@ferdinandy.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2024-10-08remote: introduce remote.<name>.serverOption configurationXing Xin
Currently, server options for Git protocol v2 can only be specified via the command line option "--server-option" or "-o", which is inconvenient when users want to specify a list of default options to send. Therefore, we are introducing a new configuration to hold a list of default server options, akin to the `push.pushOption` configuration for push options. Initially, I named the new configuration `fetch.serverOption` to align with `push.pushOption`. However, after discussing with Patrick, it was renamed to `remote.<name>.serverOption` as suggested, because: 1. Server options are designed to be server-specific, making it more logical to use a per-remote configuration. 2. Using "fetch." prefixed configurations in git-clone or git-ls-remote seems out of place and inconsistent in design. The parsing logic for `remote.<name>.serverOption` also relies on `transport.c:parse_transport_option`, similar to `push.pushOption`, and they follow the same priority design: 1. Server options set in lower-priority configuration files (e.g., /etc/gitconfig or $HOME/.gitconfig) can be overridden or unset in more specific repository configurations using an empty string. 2. Command-line specified server options take precedence over those from the configuration. Server options from configuration are stored to the corresponding `remote.h:remote` as a new field `server_options`. The field will be utilized in the subsequent commit to help initialize the `server_options` of `transport.h:transport`. And documentation have been updated accordingly.

2024-09-25send-pack: free cas options before exitJeff King
The send-pack --force-with-lease option populates a push_cas_option struct with allocated strings. Exiting without cleaning this up will cause leak-checkers to complain. We can fix this by calling clear_cas_option(), after making it publicly available. Previously it was used only for resetting the list when we saw --no-force-with-lease. The git-push command has the same "leak", though in this case it won't trigger a leak-checker since it stores the push_cas_option struct as a global rather than on the stack (and is thus reachable even after main() exits). I've added cleanup for it here anyway, though, as future-proofing. The leak is triggered by t5541 (it tests --force-with-lease over http, which requires a separate send-pack process under the hood), but we can't mark it as leak-free yet.

2024-09-09ref-filter: fix leak when formatting %(push:remoteref)Jeff King
When we expand the %(upstream) or %(push) placeholders, we rely on remote.c's remote_ref_for_branch() to fill in the ":refname" argument. But that function has confusing memory ownership semantics: it may or may not return an allocated string, depending on whether we are in "upstream" mode or "push" mode. The caller in ref-filter.c always duplicates the result, meaning that we leak the original in the case of %(push:refname). To solve this, let's make the return value from remote_ref_for_branch() consistent, by always returning an allocated pointer. Note that the switch to returning a non-const pointer has a ripple effect inside the function, too. We were storing the "dst" result as a const pointer, too, even though it is always allocated! It is the return value from apply_refspecs(), which is always a non-const allocated string. And then on the caller side in ref-filter.c (and this is the only caller at all), we just need to avoid the extra duplication when the return value is non-NULL. This clears up one case that LSan finds in t6300, but there are more. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

When expanding remote refs via the refspec in `get_expanded_map()`, we first copy the remote ref and then override its peer ref with the expanded name.

2024-08-22remote: fix leaks when matching refspecsPatrick Steinhardt
In `match_explicit()`, we try to match a source ref with a destination ref according to a refspec item. This matching sometimes requires us to allocate a new source spec so that it looks like we expect. And while we in some end up assigning this allocated ref as `peer_ref`, which hands over ownership of it to the caller, in other cases we don't. We neither free it though, causing a memory leak.

2024-08-14remote: plug memory leak when aliasing URLsPatrick Steinhardt
When we have a `url.*.insteadOf` configuration, then we end up aliasing URLs when populating remotes. One place where this happens is in `alias_all_urls()`, where we loop through all remotes and then alias each of their URLs. The actual aliasing logic is then contained in `alias_url()`, which returns an allocated string that contains the new URL. This URL replaces the old URL that we have in the strvec that contains all remote URLs. We replace the remote URLs via `strvec_replace()`, which does not hand over ownership of the new string to the vector. Still, we didn't free the aliased URL and thus have a memory leak here.

2024-06-14global: introduce `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macroPatrick Steinhardt
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.

2024-06-14remote: always require at least one url in a remoteJeff King
When we return a struct from remote_get(), the result _almost_ always has at least one url. In remotes_remote_get_1(), we do this: if (name_given && !valid_remote(ret)) add_url_alias(remote_state, ret, name); if (!valid_remote(ret)) return NULL; So if the remote doesn't have a url, we give it one based on the name (this is how unconfigured urls are used as remotes). And if that doesn't work, we return NULL. But there's a catch: valid_remote() checks that we have at least one url _unless_ the remote.*.vcs field is set. This comes from c578f51d52 (Add a config option for remotes to specify a foreign vcs, 2009-11-18), and the whole idea was to support remote helpers that don't have their own url. However, that mode has been broken since 25d5cc488a (Pass unknown protocols to external protocol handlers, 2009-12-09)! That commit unconditionally looks at the url in get_helper(), causing a segfault with something like: git -c remote.foo.vcs=bar fetch foo We could fix that now, of course. But given that it has been broken for almost 15 years and nobody noticed, there's a better option. This weird "there might not be a url" special case requires checks all over the code base, and it's not clear if there are other similar segfaults lurking. It would be nice if we could drop that special case. So instead, let's let the "the remote name is the url" code kick in. If you have "remote.foo.vcs", then your url (unless otherwise configured) is "foo". This does have a visible effect compared to what 25d5cc488a was trying to do. The idea back then is that for a remote without a url, we'd run: # only one command-line option! git-remote-bar foo whereas with our default url, now we'll run: git-remote-bar foo foo Again, in practice nobody can be relying on this because it has been segfaulting for 15 years. We should consider just removing this "vcs" config option entirely, but that would be a user-visible breakage. So by fixing it this way, we can keep things working that have been working, and simplify away one special case inside our code. This fixes the segfault from 25d5cc488a (demonstrated by the test), and we can build further cleanups on top.

2024-06-14remote: allow resetting url listJeff King
Because remote.*.url is treated as a multi-valued key, there is no way to override previous config. So for example if you have remote.origin.url set to some wrong value, doing: git -c remote.origin.url=right fetch would not work. It would append "right" to the list, which means we'd still fetch from "wrong" (since subsequent values are used only as push urls). Let's provide a mechanism to reset the list, like we do for other multi-valued keys (e.g., credential.helper, http.extraheaders, and merge.suppressDest all use this "empty string means reset" pattern).

2024-06-14remote: simplify url/pushurl selectionJeff King
When we want to know the push urls for a remote, there is some simple logic: - if the user configured any remote.*.pushurl keys, then those make the complete set of push urls - otherwise we push to all urls in remote.*.url Many spots implement this with a level of indirection, assigning to a local url/url_nr pair. But since both arrays are now strvecs, we can just use a pointer to select the appropriate strvec, shortening the code a bit. Even though this is now a one-liner, since it is application logic that is present in so many places, it's worth abstracting a helper function. In fact, we already have such a function, but it's local to builtin/push.c. So we'll just make it available everywhere via remote.h. There are two spots to pay special attention to here: 1. in builtin/remote.c's get_url(), we are selecting first based on push_mode and then falling back to "url" when we're in push_mode but no pushurl is defined. The updated code makes that much more clear, compared to the original which had an "else" fall-through. 2. likewise in that file's set_url(), we _only_ respect push_mode, sine the point is that we are adding to pushurl in that case (whether it is empty or not). And thus it does not use our helper function. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-06-14remote: use strvecs to store remote url/pushurlJeff King
Now that the url/pushurl fields of "struct remote" own their strings, we can switch from bare arrays to strvecs. This has a few advantages: - push/clear are now one-liners - likewise the free+assigns in alias_all_urls() can use strvec_replace() - we now use size_t for storage, avoiding possible overflow - this will enable some further cleanups in future patches There's quite a bit of fallout in the code that reads these fields, as it tends to access these arrays directly. But it's mostly a mechanical replacement of "url_nr" with "url.nr", and "url[i]" with "url.v[i]", with a few variations (e.g. "*url" could become "*url.v", but I used "url.v[0]" for consistency).

2024-06-14remote: transfer ownership of memory in add_url(), etcJeff King
Many of the internal functions in remote.c take const strings and store them forever in instances of "struct remote". Since the functions are internal and callers are aware of the convention, this seems to mostly work and not cause leaks. But there are some issues: - it's impossible to clear any of the arrays, because the data dependencies between them are too muddled (if you free() a string, it might also be referenced from another array, causing a user-after-free; but if you don't, that might be the last reference, causing a leak). This is mostly of interest for further refactoring and features, but there's at least one spot that's already a problem. In alias_all_urls(), we replace elements of remote->url and remote->pushurl with their aliased forms, dropping references to the original. - sometimes strings from outside callers make their way in. For example, calling remote_get("foo") when there is no configured "foo" remote will create a remote struct with the single url "foo". But we'll do so by holding on to the string passed to remote_get() forever. In practice I think this works out because we'd usually pass in a string that lasts the length of the program (a string literal, or argv reference, or other data structure allocated in the main function). But it's a rather subtle requirement. Instead, let's have remote->url and remote->pushurl own their string memory. They'll copy the const strings that are passed in, and callers can stop making their own copies. Likewise, when we overwrite an entry, we can free the memory it points to, fixing the leak mentioned above. We'll leave the struct members as "const" since they are visible to the outside world, and shouldn't usually be touched. This requires casting on free() for now, but we'll clean that further in a future patch. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-06-14remote: refactor alias_url() memory ownershipJeff King
The alias_url() function may return either a newly allocated string (which the caller must take ownership of), or the original const "url" parameter that was passed in. This often works OK because callers are generally passing in a "url" that they expect to retain ownership of anyway. So whether we got back the original or a new string, we're always interested in storing it forever. But I suspect there are some possible leaks here (e.g., add_url_alias() may end up discarding the original "url"). Whether there are active leaks or not, this is a confusing setup that makes further refactoring of memory ownership harder. So instead of returning the original string, return NULL, forcing callers to decide what to do with it explicitly. We can then build further cleanups on top of that.

When "git push" notices that the commit at the tip of the ref on the other side it is about to overwrite does not exist locally, it used to first try fetching it if the local repository is a partial clone.

2024-05-27config: clarify memory ownership in `git_config_string()`Patrick Steinhardt
The out parameter of `git_config_string()` is a `const char **` even though we transfer ownership of memory to the caller. This is quite misleading and has led to many memory leaks all over the place. Adapt the parameter to instead be `char **`.

2024-05-22push: don't fetch commit object when checking existenceTom Hughes
If we're checking to see whether to tell the user to do a fetch before pushing there's no need for us to actually fetch the object from the remote if the clone is partial. Because the promisor doesn't do negotiation actually trying to do the fetch of the new head can be very expensive as it will try and include history that we already have and it just results in rejecting the push with a different message, and in behavior that is different to a clone that is not partial.

2024-05-17refs: drop `git_default_branch_name()`Patrick Steinhardt
The `git_default_branch_name()` function is a thin wrapper around `repo_default_branch_name()` with two differences: - We implicitly rely on `the_repository`. - We cache the default branch name. None of the callsites of `git_default_branch_name()` are hot code paths though, so the caching of the branch name is not really required. Refactor the callsites to use `repo_default_branch_name()` instead and drop `git_default_branch_name()`, thus getting rid of one more case where we rely on `the_repository`.

2024-02-28commit-reach(repo_in_merge_bases_many): optionally expect missing commitsJohannes Schindelin
Currently this function treats unrelated commit histories the same way as commit histories with missing commit objects. Typically, missing commit objects constitute a corrupt repository, though, and should be reported as such. The next commits will make it so, but there is one exception: In `git fetch --update-shallow` we _expect_ commit objects to be missing, and we do want to treat the now-incomplete commit histories as unrelated. To allow for that, let's introduce an additional parameter that is passed to `repo_in_merge_bases_many()` to trigger this behavior, and use it in the two callers in `shallow.c`. This commit changes behavior slightly: unless called from the `shallow.c` functions that set the `ignore_missing_commits` bit, any non-existing tip commit that is passed to `repo_in_merge_bases_many()` will now result in an error. Note: When encountering missing commits while traversing the commit history in search for merge bases, with this commit there won't be a change in behavior just yet, their children will still be interpreted as root commits. This bug will get fixed by follow-up commits. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2023-12-12builtin/clone: skip reading HEAD when retrieving remotePatrick Steinhardt
After we have set up the remote configuration in git-clone(1) we'll call `remote_get()` to read the remote from the on-disk configuration. But next to reading the on-disk configuration, `remote_get()` will also cause us to try and read the repository's HEAD reference so that we can figure out the current branch. Besides being pointless in git-clone(1) because we're operating in an empty repository anyway, this will also break once we move creation of the reference database to a later point in time. Refactor the code to introduce a new `remote_get_early()` function that will skip reading the HEAD reference to address this issue.
