2026-01-25update-ref: utilize rejected error details if availableKarthik Nayak
When git-update-ref(1) received the '--update-ref' flag, the error details generated in the refs namespace wasn't propagated with failed updates. Instead only an error code pertaining to the type of rejection was noted. This missed detailed error message which the user can act upon. The previous commits added the required code to propagate these detailed error messages from the refs namespace. Now that additional details are available, let's output this additional details to stderr. This allows users to have additional information over the already present machine parsable output. While we're here, improve the existing tests for the machine parsable output by checking for the entire output string and not just the rejection reason.

2025-09-17refs/files: catch conflicts on case-insensitive file-systemsKarthik Nayak
During the 'prepare' phase of a reference transaction in the files backend, we create the lock files for references to be created. When using batched updates on case-insensitive filesystems, the entire batched updates would be aborted if there are conflicting names such as: refs/heads/Foo refs/heads/foo This affects all commands which were migrated to use batched updates in Git 2.51, including 'git-fetch(1)' and 'git-receive-pack(1)'. Before that, reference updates would be applied serially with one transaction used per update. When users fetched multiple references on case-insensitive systems, subsequent references would simply overwrite any earlier references. So when fetching: refs/heads/foo: 5f34ec0bfeac225b1c854340257a65b106f70ea6 refs/heads/Foo: ec3053b0977e83d9b67fc32c4527a117953994f3 refs/heads/sample: 2eefd1150e06d8fca1ddfa684dec016f36bf4e56 The user would simply end up with: refs/heads/foo: ec3053b0977e83d9b67fc32c4527a117953994f3 refs/heads/sample: 2eefd1150e06d8fca1ddfa684dec016f36bf4e56 This is buggy behavior since the user is never informed about the overrides performed and missing references. Nevertheless, the user is left with a working repository with a subset of the references. Since Git 2.51, in such situations fetches would simply fail without updating any references. Which is also buggy behavior and worse off since the user is left without any references. The error is triggered in `lock_raw_ref()` where the files backend attempts to create a lock file. When a lock file already exists the function returns a 'REF_TRANSACTION_ERROR_GENERIC'. When this happens, the entire batched updates, not individual operation, is aborted as if it were in a transaction. Change this to return 'REF_TRANSACTION_ERROR_CASE_CONFLICT' instead to aid the batched update mechanism to simply reject such errors. The change only affects batched updates since batched updates will reject individual updates with non-generic errors. So specifically this would only affect: 1. git fetch 2. git receive-pack 3. git update-ref --batch-updates This bubbles the error type up to `files_transaction_prepare()` which tries to lock each reference update. So if the locking fails, we check if the rejection type can be ignored, which is done by calling `ref_transaction_maybe_set_rejected()`. As the error type is now 'REF_TRANSACTION_ERROR_CASE_CONFLICT', the specific reference update would simply be rejected, while other updates in the transaction would continue to be applied. This allows partial application of references in case-insensitive filesystems when fetching colliding references. While the earlier implementation allowed the last reference to be applied overriding the initial references, this change would allow the first reference to be applied while rejecting consequent collisions. This should be an okay compromise since with the files backend, there is no scenario possible where we would retain all colliding references. Let's also be more proactive and notify users on case-insensitive filesystems about such problems by providing a brief about the issue while also recommending using the reftable backend, which doesn't have the same issue.

2025-08-29Merge branch 'jk/no-clobber-dangling-symref-with-fetch'Junio C Hamano
"git fetch" can clobber a symref that is dangling when the remote-tracking HEAD is set to auto update, which has been corrected. * jk/no-clobber-dangling-symref-with-fetch: refs: do not clobber dangling symrefs t5510: prefer "git -C" to subshell for followRemoteHEAD tests t5510: stop changing top-level working directory t5510: make confusing config cleanup more explicit
2025-08-19refs: do not clobber dangling symrefsJeff King
When given an expected "before" state, the ref-writing code will avoid overwriting any ref that does not match that expected state. We use the null oid as a sentinel value for "nothing should exist", and likewise that is the sentinel value we get when trying to read a ref that does not exist. But there's one corner case where this is ambiguous: dangling symrefs. Trying to read them will yield the null oid, but there is potentially something of value there: the dangling symref itself. For a normal recursive write, this is OK. Imagine we have a symref "FOO_HEAD" that points to a ref "refs/heads/bar" that does not exist, and we try to write to it with a create operation like: oid=$(git rev-parse HEAD) ;# or whatever git symbolic-ref FOO_HEAD refs/heads/bar echo "create FOO_HEAD $oid" | git update-ref --stdin The attempt to resolve FOO_HEAD will actually resolve "bar", yielding the null oid. That matches our expectation, and the write proceeds. This is correct, because we are not writing FOO_HEAD at all, but writing its destination "bar", which in fact does not exist. But what if the operation asked not to dereference symrefs? Like this: echo "create FOO_HEAD $oid" | git update-ref --no-deref --stdin Resolving FOO_HEAD would still result in a null oid, and the write will proceed. But it will overwrite FOO_HEAD itself, removing the fact that it ever pointed to "bar". This case is a little esoteric; we are clobbering a symref with a no-deref write of a regular ref value. But the same problem occurs when writing symrefs. For example: echo "symref-create FOO_HEAD refs/heads/other" | git update-ref --no-deref --stdin The "create" operation asked us to create FOO_HEAD only if it did not exist. But we silently overwrite the existing value. You can trigger this without using update-ref via the fetch followRemoteHEAD code. In "create" mode, it should not overwrite an existing value. But if you manually create a symref pointing to a value that does not yet exist (either via symbolic-ref or with "remote add -m"), create mode will happily overwrite it. Instead, we should detect this case and refuse to write. The correct specification to overwrite FOO_HEAD in this case is to provide an expected target ref value, like: echo "symref-update FOO_HEAD refs/heads/other ref refs/heads/bar" | git update-ref --no-deref --stdin Note that the non-symref "update" directive does not allow you to do this (you can only specify an oid). This is a weakness in the update-ref interface, and you'd have to overwrite unconditionally, like: echo "update FOO_HEAD $oid" | git update-ref --no-deref --stdin Likewise other symref operations like symref-delete do not accept the "ref" keyword. You should be able to do: echo "symref-delete FOO_HEAD ref refs/heads/bar" but cannot (and can only delete unconditionally). This patch doesn't address those gaps. We may want to do so in a future patch for completeness, but it's not clear if anybody actually wants to perform those operations. The symref update case (specifically, via followRemoteHEAD) is what I ran into in the wild. The code for the fix is relatively straight-forward given the discussion above. But note that we have to implement it independently for the files and reftable backends. The "old oid" checks happen as part of the locking process, which is implemented separately for each system. We may want to factor this out somehow, but it's beyond the scope of this patch. (Another curiosity is that the messages in the reftable code are marked for translation, but the ones in the files backend are not. I followed local convention in each case, but we may want to harmonize this at some point). Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2025-07-08refs/files: remove empty parent dirs when ref creation failsPatrick Steinhardt
When creating a new reference in the "files" backend we first create the directory hierarchy for that reference, then create the lockfile for that reference, and finally rename the lockfile into place. When the transaction gets aborted we prune the lockfile, but we don't clean up the directory hierarchy that we may have created for the lockfile. In some egde cases this can lead to lots of empty directories being cluttered in the ".git/refs" directory that really serve no purpose at all. We know to prune such empty directories when packing refs, but that only patches over the issue. Improve this by removing empty parents when cleaning up still-locked references in `files_transaction_cleanup()`. This function is also called when preparing or committing the transaction, so this change also helps when not explicitly aborting the transaction.

2025-06-25refs/files: skip updates with errors in batched updatesKarthik Nayak
The commit 23fc8e4f61 (refs: implement batch reference update support, 2025-04-08) introduced support for batched reference updates. This allows users to batch updates together, while allowing some of the updates to fail. Under the hood, batched updates use the reference transaction mechanism. Each update which fails is marked as such. Any failed updates must be skipped over in the rest of the code, as they wouldn't apply any more. In two of the loops within 'files_transaction_finish()' of the files backend, the failed updates aren't skipped over. This can cause a SEGFAULT otherwise. Add the missing skips and a test to validate the same. Signed-off-by: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-06-24test-lib: teach test_seq the -f optionJeff King
The "seq" tool has a "-f" option to produce printf-style formatted lines. Let's teach our test_seq helper the same trick. This lets us get rid of some shell loops in test snippets (which are particularly verbose in our test suite because we have to "|| return 1" to keep the &&-chain going). This converts a few call-sites I found by grepping around the test suite. A few notes on these: - In "seq", the format specifier is a "%g" float. Since test_seq only supports integers, I've kept the more natural "%d" (which is what these call sites were using already). - Like "seq", test_seq automatically adds a newline to the specified format. This is what all callers are doing already except for t0021, but there we do not care about the exact format. We are just trying to printf a large number of bytes to a file. It's not worth complicating other callers or adding an option to avoid the newline in that caller. - Most conversions are just replacing a shell loop (which does get rid of an extra fork, since $() requires a subshell). In t0612 we can replace an awk invocation, which I think makes the end result more readable, as there's less quoting. - In t7422 we can replace one loop, but sadly we have to leave the loop directly above it. This is because that earlier loop wants to include the seq value twice in the output, which test_seq does not support (nor does regular seq). If you run: test_seq -f "foo-%d %d" 10 the second "%d" will always be the empty string. You might naively think that test_seq could add some extra arguments, like: # 3 ought to be enough for anyone... printf "$fmt\n" "$i "$i" $i" but that just triggers printf to format multiple lines, one per extra set of arguments. So we'd have to actually parse the format string, figure out how many "%" placeholders are there, and then feed it that many instances of the sequence number. The complexity isn't worth it.

2025-04-08update-ref: add --batch-updates flag for stdin modeKarthik Nayak
When updating multiple references through stdin, Git's update-ref command normally aborts the entire transaction if any single update fails. This atomic behavior prevents partial updates. Introduce a new batch update system, where the updates the performed together similar but individual updates are allowed to fail. Add a new `--batch-updates` flag that allows the transaction to continue even when individual reference updates fail. This flag can only be used in `--stdin` mode and builds upon the batch update support added to the refs subsystem in the previous commits. When enabled, failed updates are reported in the following format: rejected SP (<old-oid> | <old-target>) SP (<new-oid> | <new-target>) SP <rejection-reason> LF Update the documentation to reflect this change and also tests to cover different scenarios where an update could be rejected.

2025-01-23refs: fix creation of reflog entries for symrefsKarthik Nayak
The commit 297c09eabb (refs: allow multiple reflog entries for the same refname, 2024-12-16) added logic to exit early in `lock_ref_for_update()` after obtaining the required lock. This was added as a performance optimization on a false assumption that no further processing was required for reflog-only updates. However the assumption was wrong. For a symref's reflog entry, the update needs to be populated with the old_oid value, but the early exit skipped this necessary step. This caused a bug in Git 2.48 in the files backend where target references of symrefs being updated would create a corrupted reflog entry for the symref since the old_oid is not populated. Everything the early exit skipped in the code path is necessary for both regular and symbolic ref, so eliminate the mistaken optimization, and also add a test to ensure that such an issue doesn't arise in the future.

2024-06-07update-ref: add support for 'symref-update' commandKarthik Nayak
Add 'symref-update' command to the '--stdin' mode of 'git-update-ref' to allow updates of symbolic refs. The 'symref-update' command takes in a <new-target>, which the <ref> will be updated to. If the <ref> doesn't exist it will be created. It also optionally takes either an `ref <old-target>` or `oid <old-oid>`. If the <old-target> is provided, it checks to see if the <ref> targets the <old-target> before the update. If <old-oid> is provided it checks <ref> to ensure that it is a regular ref and <old-oid> is the OID before the update. This by extension also means that this when a zero <old-oid> is provided, it ensures that the ref didn't exist before. The divergence in syntax from the regular `update` command is because if we don't use a `(ref | oid)` prefix for the old_value, then there is ambiguity around if the value provided should be treated as an oid or a reference. This is more so the reason, because we allow anything committish to be provided as an oid. While 'symref-verify' and 'symref-delete' also take in `<old-target>` we do not have this divergence there as those commands only work with symrefs. Whereas 'symref-update' also works with regular refs and allows users to convert regular refs to symrefs. The command allows users to perform symbolic ref updates within a transaction. This provides atomicity and allows users to perform a set of operations together. This command supports deref mode, to ensure that we can update dereferenced regular refs to symrefs.

Add a new command 'symref-delete' to allow deletions of symbolic refs in a transaction via the '--stdin' mode of the 'git-update-ref' command. The 'symref-delete' command can, when given an <old-target>, delete the provided <ref> only when it points to <old-target>. This command is only compatible with the 'no-deref' mode because we optionally want to check the 'old_target' of the ref being deleted. De-referencing a symbolic ref would provide a regular ref and we already have the 'delete' command for regular refs. While users can also use 'git symbolic-ref -d' to delete symbolic refs, the 'symref-delete' command in 'git-update-ref' allows users to do so within a transaction, which promises atomicity of the operation and can be batched with other commands. When no 'old_target' is provided it can also delete regular refs, similar to how the 'delete' command can delete symrefs when no 'old_oid' is provided.

2024-06-07update-ref: add support for 'symref-verify' commandKarthik Nayak
The 'symref-verify' command allows users to verify if a provided <ref> contains the provided <old-target> without changing the <ref>. If <old-target> is not provided, the command will verify that the <ref> doesn't exist. The command allows users to verify symbolic refs within a transaction, and this means users can perform a set of changes in a transaction only when the verification holds good. Since we're checking for symbolic refs, this command will only work with the 'no-deref' mode. This is because any dereferenced symbolic ref will point to an object and not a ref and the regular 'verify' command can be used in such situations. Add required tests for symref support in 'verify'. Since we're here, also add reflog checks for the pre-existing 'verify' tests, there is no divergence from behavior, but we never tested to ensure that reflog wasn't affected by the 'verify' command.

Refactor these tests to either use git-reflog(1) or the ref-store test helper. Note that the refactoring to use git-reflog(1) also requires us to adapt our expectations in some cases where we previously verified the exact on-disk log entries. This seems like an acceptable tradeoff though to ensure that different backends have the same user-visible behaviour as any user would typically use git-reflog(1) anyway to access the logs. Any backend-specific verification of the written on-disk format should be implemented in a separate, backend-specific test.

2023-11-03t: convert tests to not access symrefs via the filesystemPatrick Steinhardt
Some of our tests access symbolic references via the filesystem directly. While this works with the current files reference backend, it this will break once we have a second reference backend in our codebase. Refactor these tests to instead use git-symbolic-ref(1) or our `ref-store` test tool. The latter is required in some cases where safety checks of git-symbolic-ref(1) would otherwise reject writing a symbolic reference.

2023-11-03t: convert tests to not write references via the filesystemPatrick Steinhardt
Some of our tests manually create, update or delete references by writing the respective new values into the filesystem directly. While this works with the current files reference backend, this will break once we have a second reference backend implementation in our codebase. Refactor these tests to instead use git-update-ref(1) or our `ref-store` test tool. The latter is required in some cases where safety checks of git-update-ref(1) would otherwise reject a reference update. While at it, refactor some of the tests to schedule the cleanup command via `test_when_finished` before modifying the repository.

2023-11-02tests: teach callers of test_i18ngrep to use test_grepJunio C Hamano
They are equivalents and the former still exists, so as long as the only change this commit makes are to rewrite test_i18ngrep to test_grep, there won't be any new bug, even if there still are callers of test_i18ngrep remaining in the tree, or when merged to other topics that add new uses of test_i18ngrep. This patch was produced more or less with git grep -l -e 'test_i18ngrep ' 't/t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh' | xargs perl -p -i -e 's/test_i18ngrep /test_grep /' and a good way to sanity check the result yourself is to run the above in a checkout of c4603c1c (test framework: further deprecate test_i18ngrep, 2023-10-31) and compare the resulting working tree contents with the result of applying this patch to the same commit. You'll see that test_i18ngrep in a few t/lib-*.sh files corrected, in addition to the manual reproduction. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2021-12-13t0000-t3999: detect and signal failure within loopEric Sunshine
Failures within `for` and `while` loops can go unnoticed if not detected and signaled manually since the loop itself does not abort when a contained command fails, nor will a failure necessarily be detected when the loop finishes since the loop returns the exit code of the last command it ran on the final iteration, which may not be the command which failed. Therefore, detect and signal failures manually within loops using the idiom `|| return 1` (or `|| exit 1` within subshells).

2021-12-02test-ref-store: tweaks to for-each-reflog-ent formatHan-Wen Nienhuys
We have some tests that read from files in .git/logs/ hierarchy when checking if correct reflog entries are created, but that is too specific to the files backend. Other backends like reftable may not store its reflog entries in such a "one line per entry" format. Update for-each-reflog-ent test helper to produce output that is identical to lines in a reflog file files backend uses. That way, (1) the current tests can be updated to use the test helper to read the reflog entries instead of (parts of) reflog files, and perform the same inspection for correctness, and (2) when the ref backend is swapped to another backend, the updated test can be used as-is to check the correctness.

2021-09-15t1400: avoid SIGPIPE race condition on fifoJeff King
t1400.190 sometimes fails or even hangs because of the way it uses fifos. Our goal is to interactively read and write lines from update-ref, so we have two fifos, in and out. We open a descriptor connected to "in" and redirect output to that, so that update-ref does not see EOF as it would if we opened and closed it for each "echo" call. But we don't do the same for the output. This leads to a race where our "read response <out" has not yet opened the fifo, but update-ref tries to write to it and gets SIGPIPE. This can result in the test failing, or worse, hanging as we wait forever for somebody to write to the pipe. This is the same proble we fixed in 4783e7ea83 (t0008: avoid SIGPIPE race condition on fifo, 2013-07-12), and we can fix it the same way, by opening a second long-running descriptor. Before this patch, running: ./t1400-update-ref.sh --run=1,190 --stress failed or hung within a few dozen iterations. After it, I ran it for several hundred without problems.

2021-09-03update-ref: fix streaming of status updatesPatrick Steinhardt
When executing git-update-ref(1) with the `--stdin` flag, then the user can queue updates and, since e48cf33b61 (update-ref: implement interactive transaction handling, 2020-04-02), interactively drive the transaction's state via a set of transactional verbs. This interactivity is somewhat broken though: while the caller can use these verbs to drive the transaction's state, the status messages which confirm that a verb has been processed is not flushed. The caller may thus be left hanging waiting for the acknowledgement. Fix the bug by flushing stdout after writing the status update. Add a test which catches this bug.

2021-05-11refs: cleanup directories when deleting packed refWill Chandler
When deleting a packed ref via 'update-ref -d', a lockfile is made in the directory that would contain the loose copy of that ref, creating any directories in the ref's path that do not exist. When the transaction completes, the lockfile is deleted, but any empty parent directories made when creating the lockfile are left in place. These empty directories are not removed by 'pack-refs' or other housekeeping tasks and will accumulate over time. When deleting a loose ref, we remove all empty parent directories at the end of the transaction. This commit applies the parent directory cleanup logic used when deleting loose refs to packed refs as well.

2020-11-19tests: drop prereq `PREPARE_FOR_MAIN_BRANCH` where no longer neededJohannes Schindelin
We introduced the `PREPARE_FOR_MAIN_BRANCH` prereq for the sole purpose of allowing us to perform the non-trivial adjustments regarding the `master` -> `main` rename before the automatable ones. Now that the transition is almost complete, we can stop using it in most instances. The only two exceptions are t5526 and t9902: at the time of writing, there are other patches in flight that touch these test scripts, therefore their transition to `main` is postponed to a later date.

2020-11-19tests: mark tests relying on the current default for `init.defaultBranch`Johannes Schindelin
In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default. To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to force-set the default branch name to `master` in - all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`, - t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to initialize the default branch, - t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`, - t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also uses `master`) This trick was performed by this command: $ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\ GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\ export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\ ' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \ t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly: $ git checkout HEAD -- \ t/t0027-auto-crlf.sh t/t0060-path-utils.sh \ t/t1011-read-tree-sparse-checkout.sh \ t/t1305-config-include.sh t/t1309-early-config.sh \ t/t1402-check-ref-format.sh t/t1450-fsck.sh \ t/t2024-checkout-dwim.sh \ t/t2106-update-index-assume-unchanged.sh \ t/t3040-subprojects-basic.sh t/t3301-notes.sh \ t/t3308-notes-merge.sh t/t3423-rebase-reword.sh \ t/t3436-rebase-more-options.sh \ t/t4015-diff-whitespace.sh t/t4257-am-interactive.sh \ t/t5323-pack-redundant.sh t/t5401-update-hooks.sh \ t/t5511-refspec.sh t/t5526-fetch-submodules.sh \ t/t5529-push-errors.sh t/t5530-upload-pack-error.sh \ t/t5548-push-porcelain.sh \ t/t5552-skipping-fetch-negotiator.sh \ t/t5572-pull-submodule.sh t/t5608-clone-2gb.sh \ t/t5614-clone-submodules-shallow.sh \ t/t7508-status.sh t/t7606-merge-custom.sh \ t/t9302-fast-import-unpack-limit.sh We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were modified thusly: $ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/lib-git-p4\.sh$/i\ GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\ export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\ ' t/t980[0167]*.sh t/t9811*.sh Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
