2025-12-18t0600: fix incomplete prerequisite for a test caseJohannes Schindelin
The 'symref transaction supports symlinks' test case is guarded by the `SYMLINK` prerequisite because `core.prefersymlinkrefs = true` requires symbolic links to be supported. However, the `preferSymlinkRefs` feature is not supported on Windows, therefore this test case needs the `MINGW` prerequisite, too. There's a couple more cases where we set this config key: - In a subsequent test in t0600, but there we explicitly set it to "false". So this would naturally be supported by Windows. - In t7201 we set the value to `yes`, but we never verify that the written reference is a symbolic link in the first place. I guess that we could rather remove setting the configuration value here, as we are about to deprecate support for symrefs via symbolic links in the first place. But that's certainly outside of the scope of this patch. - In t9903 we do the same, but likewise, we don't check whether the written file is a symbolic link. Therefore this seems to be the only instance where the tests actually need to be adapted.

2025-10-15refs/files: deprecate writing symrefs as symbolic linksPatrick Steinhardt
The "files" backend has the ability to store symbolic refs as symbolic links, which can be configured via "core.preferSymlinkRefs". This feature stems back from the early days: the initial implementation of symbolic refs used symlinks exclusively. The symref format was only introduced in 9b143c6e15 (Teach update-ref about a symbolic ref stored in a textfile., 2005-09-25) and made the default in 9f0bb90d16 (core.prefersymlinkrefs: use symlinks for .git/HEAD, 2006-05-02). This is all about 20 years ago, and there are no known reasons nowadays why one would want to use symlinks instead of symrefs. Mark the feature for deprecation in Git 3.0. Note that this only deprecates _writing_ symrefs as symbolic links. Reading such symrefs is still supported for now.

2024-07-10t: convert some here-doc test bodiesJeff King
The t1404 script checks a lot of output from Git which contains single quotes. Because the test snippets are themselves wrapped in the same single-quotes, we have to resort to using $SQ to match them. This is error-prone and makes the tests harder to read. Instead, let's use the new here-doc feature added in the previous commit, which lets us write anything in the test body we want (except the here-doc end marker on a line by itself, of course). Note that we do use "\" in our marker to avoid interpolation (which is the whole point). But we don't use "<<-", as we want to preserve whitespace in the snippet (and running with "-v" before and after shows that we produce the exact same output, except with the ugly $SQ references fixed). I just converted every test here, even though only some of them use $SQ. But it would be equally correct to mix-and-match styles if we don't mind the inconsistency. I've also converted a few tests in t0600 which were moved from t1404 (I had written this patch before they were moved, but it seemed worth porting over the changes rather than losing them).

"git update-ref --stdin" learned to handle transactional updates of symbolic-refs. * kn/update-ref-symref: update-ref: add support for 'symref-update' command reftable: pick either 'oid' or 'target' for new updates update-ref: add support for 'symref-create' command update-ref: add support for 'symref-delete' command update-ref: add support for 'symref-verify' command refs: specify error for regular refs with `old_target` refs: create and use `ref_update_expects_existing_old_ref()`
2024-06-07update-ref: add support for 'symref-create' commandKarthik Nayak
Add 'symref-create' command to the '--stdin' mode 'git-update-ref' to allow creation of symbolic refs in a transaction. The 'symref-create' command takes in a <new-target>, which the created <ref> will point to. Also, support the 'core.prefersymlinkrefs' config, wherein if the config is set and the filesystem supports symlinks, we create the symbolic ref as a symlink. We fallback to creating a regular symref if creating the symlink is unsuccessful.

2024-04-12t06xx: always execute backend-specific testsPatrick Steinhardt
The tests in t06xx exercise specific ref formats. Next to probing some basic functionality, these tests also exercise other low-level details specific to the format. Those tests are only executed though in case `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT` is set to the ref format of the respective backend-under-test. Ideally, we would run the full test matrix for ref formats such that our complete test suite is executed with every supported format on every supported platform. This is quite an expensive undertaking though, and thus we only execute e.g. the "reftable" tests on macOS and Linux. As a result, we basically have no test coverage for the "reftable" format at all on other platforms like Windows. Adapt these tests so that they override `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT`, which means that they'll always execute. This increases test coverage on platforms that don't run the full test matrix, which at least gives us some basic test coverage on those platforms for the "reftable" format. This of course comes at the cost of running those tests multiple times on platforms where we do run the full test matrix. But arguably, this is a good thing because it will also cause us to e.g. run those tests with the address sanitizer and other non-standard parameters.

2024-02-21refs: drop unused params from the reflog iterator callbackPatrick Steinhardt
The ref and reflog iterators share much of the same underlying code to iterate over the corresponding entries. This results in some weird code because the reflog iterator also exposes an object ID as well as a flag to the callback function. Neither of these fields do refer to the reflog though -- they refer to the corresponding ref with the same name. This is quite misleading. In practice at least the object ID cannot really be implemented in any other way as a reflog does not have a specific object ID in the first place. This is further stressed by the fact that none of the callbacks except for our test helper make use of these fields. Split up the infrastucture so that ref and reflog iterators use separate callback signatures. This allows us to drop the nonsensical fields from the reflog iterator. Note that internally, the backends still use the same shared infra to iterate over both types. As the backends should never end up being called directly anyway, this is not much of a problem and thus kept as-is for simplicity's sake.

2024-02-21refs/files: sort reflogs returned by the reflog iteratorPatrick Steinhardt
We use a directory iterator to return reflogs via the reflog iterator. This iterator returns entries in the same order as readdir(3P) would and will thus yield reflogs with no discernible order. Set the new `DIR_ITERATOR_SORTED` flag that was introduced in the preceding commit so that the order is deterministic. While the effect of this can only been observed in a test tool, a subsequent commit will start to expose this functionality to users via a new `git reflog list` subcommand.

2024-02-15t: move tests exercising the "files" backendPatrick Steinhardt
We still have a bunch of tests scattered across our test suites that exercise on-disk files of the "files" backend directly: - t1301 exercises permissions of reflog files when the config "core.sharedRepository" is set. - t1400 exercises whether empty directories in the ref store are handled correctly. - t3200 exercises what happens when there are symlinks in the ref store. - t3400 also exercises what happens when ".git/logs" is a symlink. All of these are inherently low-level tests specific to the "files" backend. Move them into "t0600-reffiles-backend.sh" to reflect this.
