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.

When a reference update tries to update a symref, but the ref in
question is actually a regular ref, we raise an error. However the error
raised in this situation is:
verifying symref target: '<ref>': reference is missing but expected <old-target>
which is very generic and doesn't indicate the mismatch of types. Let's
make this error more specific:
cannot lock ref '<ref>': expected symref with target '<old-target>': but is a regular ref
so that users have a clearer understanding.

The files and reftable backend, need to check if a ref must exist, so
that the required validation can be done. A ref must exist only when the
`old_oid` value of the update has been explicitly set and it is not the
`null_oid` value.
Since we also support symrefs now, we need to ensure that even when
`old_target` is set a ref must exist. While this was missed when we
added symref support in transactions, there are no active users of this
path. As we introduce the 'symref-verify' command in the upcoming
commits, it is important to fix this.
So let's export this to a function called
`ref_update_expects_existing_old_ref()` and expose it internally via
'refs-internal.h'.

We're about to introduce logic to migrate ref storages. One part of the
migration will be to delete the files that are part of the old ref

The `add_pseudoref_and_head_entries()` function accepts both the ref
store as well as a directory name as input. This is unnecessary though
as the ref store already uniquely identifies the root directory of the
ref store anyway.
Furthermore, the function is misnamed now that we have clarified the
meaning of pseudorefs as it doesn't add pseudorefs, but root refs.

Ref storages are typically only initialized once for `the_repository`
and then never released. Until now we got away with that without causing
memory leaks because `the_repository` stays reachable, and because the
ref backend is reachable via `the_repository` its memory basically never
leaks.
This is about to change though because of the upcoming migration logic,
which will create a secondary ref storage. In that case, we will either
have to release the old or new ref storage to avoid leaks.
Implement a new `release` callback and expose it via a new
`ref_storage_release()` function.

Root refs are those refs that live in the root of the ref hierarchy.
Our old and venerable "HEAD" reference falls into this category, but we
don't yet classify it as such in `is_root_ref()`.
Adapt the function to also treat "HEAD" as a root ref. This change is
safe to do for all current callers:
- `ref_kind_from_refname()` already handles "HEAD" explicitly before
calling `is_root_ref()`.
- The "files" and "reftable" backends explicitly call both
`is_root_ref()` and `is_headref()` together.
This also aligns behaviour or `is_root_ref()` and `is_headref()` such
that we stop checking for ref existence. This changes semantics for our
backends:
- In the reftable backend we already know that the ref must exist
because `is_headref()` is called as part of the ref iterator. The
existence check is thus redundant, and the change is safe to do.
- In the files backend we use it when populating root refs, where we
would skip adding the "HEAD" file if it was not possible to resolve
it. The new behaviour is to instead mark "HEAD" as broken, which
will cause us to emit warnings in various places.
As there are no callers of `is_headref()` left afer the refactoring, we
can absorb it completely into `is_root_ref()`.

Before this patch series, root refs except for "HEAD" and our special
refs were classified as pseudorefs. Furthermore, our terminology
clarified that pseudorefs must not be symbolic refs. This restriction
is enforced in `is_root_ref()`, which explicitly checks that a supposed
root ref resolves to an object ID without recursing.
This has been extremely confusing right from the start because (in old
terminology) a ref name may sometimes be a pseudoref and sometimes not
depending on whether it is a symbolic or regular ref. This behaviour
does not seem reasonable at all and I very much doubt that it results in
anything sane.
Last but not least, the current behaviour can actually lead to a
segfault when calling `is_root_ref()` with a reference that either does
not exist or that is a symbolic ref because we never initialized `oid`,
but then read it via `is_null_oid()`.
We have now changed terminology to clarify that pseudorefs are really
only "MERGE_HEAD" and "FETCH_HEAD", whereas all the other refs that live
in the root of the ref hierarchy are just plain refs. Thus, we do not
need to check whether the ref is symbolic or not. In fact, we can now
avoid looking up the ref completely as the name is sufficient for us to
figure out whether something would be a root ref or not.
This change of course changes semantics for our callers. As there are
only three of them we can assess each of them individually:
- "ref-filter.c:ref_kind_from_refname()" uses it to classify refs.
It's clear that the intent is to classify based on the ref name,
only.
- "refs/reftable_backend.c:reftable_ref_iterator_advance()" uses it to
filter root refs. Again, using existence checks is pointless here as
the iterator has just surfaced the ref, so we know it does exist.
- "refs/files_backend.c:add_pseudoref_and_head_entries()" uses it to
determine whether it should add a ref to the root directory of its
iterator. This had the effect that we skipped over any files that
are either a symbolic ref, or which are not a ref at all.
The new behaviour is to include symbolic refs know, which aligns us
with the adapted terminology. Furthermore, files which look like
root refs but aren't are now mark those as "broken". As broken refs
are not surfaced by our tooling, this should not lead to a change in
user-visible behaviour, but may cause us to emit warnings. This
feels like the right thing to do as we would otherwise just silently
ignore corrupted root refs completely.
So in all cases the existence check was either superfluous, not in line
with the adapted terminology or masked potential issues. This commit
thus changes the behaviour as proposed and drops the existence check
altogether.
Add a test that verifies that this does not change user-visible
behaviour. Namely, we still don't want to show broken refs to the user
by default in git-for-each-ref(1). What this does allow though is for
internal callers to surface dangling root refs when they pass in the
`DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN` flag.

The reference backends currently support transactional reference
updates. While this is exposed to users via 'git-update-ref' and its
'--stdin' mode, it is also used internally within various commands.
However, we do not support transactional updates of symrefs. This commit
adds support for symrefs in both the 'files' and the 'reftable' backend.
Here, we add and use `ref_update_has_null_new_value()`, a helper
function which is used to check if there is a new_value in a reference
update. The new value could either be a symref target `new_target` or a
OID `new_oid`.
We also add another common function `ref_update_check_old_target` which
will be used to check if the update's old_target corresponds to a
reference's current target.
Now transactional updates (verify, create, delete, update) can be used
for:
- regular refs
- symbolic refs
- conversion of regular to symbolic refs and vice versa
This also allows us to expose this to users via new commands in
'git-update-ref' in the future.
Note that a dangling symref update does not record a new reflog entry,
which is unchanged before and after this commit.

The function `create_symref_locked()` creates a symref by creating a
'<symref>.lock' file and then committing the symref lock, which creates
the final symref.
Extract the early half of `create_symref_locked()` into a new helper
function `create_symref_lock()`. Because the name of the new function is
too similar to the original, rename the original to
`create_and_commit_symref()` to avoid confusion.
The new function `create_symref_locked()` can be used to create the
symref lock in a separate step from that of committing it. This allows
to add transactional support for symrefs, where the lock would be
created in the preparation step and the lock would be committed in the
finish step.

The function `ref_transaction_update()` obtains ref information and
flags to create a `ref_update` and add them to the transaction at hand.
To extend symref support in transactions, we need to also accept the
old and new ref targets and process it. This commit adds the required
parameters to the function and modifies all call sites.
The two parameters added are `new_target` and `old_target`. The
`new_target` is used to denote what the reference should point to when
the transaction is applied. Some functions allow this parameter to be
NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed.
The `old_target` denotes the value the reference must have before the
update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL, meaning that the
old value of the reference is not checked.
We also update the internal function `ref_transaction_add_update()`
similarly to take the two new parameters.

The TRANSACTION_NAME_CONFLICT error code refers to a failure to create a
ref due to a name conflict with another ref. An example of this is a
directory/file conflict such as ref names A/B and A.
"git fetch" uses this error code to more accurately describe the error
by recommending to the user that they try running "git remote prune" to
remove any old refs that are deleted by the remote which would clear up
any directory/file conflicts.
This helpful error message is not displayed when the conflicted ref is
stored in packed refs. This change fixes this by ensuring error return
code consistency in `lock_raw_ref`.

The reflog iterator tries to resolve the corresponding ref for every
reflog that it is about to yield. Historically, this was done due to
multiple reasons:
- It ensures that the refname is safe because we end up calling
`check_refname_format()`. Also, non-conformant refnames are skipped
altogether.
- The iterator used to yield the resolved object ID as well as its
flags to the callback. This info was never used though, and the
corresponding parameters were dropped in the preceding commit.
- When a ref is corrupt then the reflog is not emitted at all.
We're about to introduce a new `git reflog list` subcommand that will
print all reflogs that the refdb knows about. Skipping over reflogs
whose refs are corrupted would be quite counterproductive in this case
as the user would have no way to learn about reflogs which may still
exist in their repository to help and rescue such a corrupted ref. Thus,
the only remaining reason for why we'd want to resolve the ref is to
verify its refname.
Refactor the code to call `check_refname_format()` directly instead of
trying to resolve the ref. This is significantly more efficient given
that we don't have to hit the object database anymore to list reflogs.
And second, it ensures that we end up showing reflogs of broken refs,
which will help to make the reflog more useful.
Note that this really only impacts the case where the corresponding ref
is corrupt. Reflogs for nonexistent refs would have been returned to the
caller beforehand already as we did not pass `RESOLVE_REF_READING` to
the function, and thus `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()` would have returned
successfully in that case.

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.

When iterating through reflogs in a worktree we create a merged iterator
that merges reflogs from both refdbs. The resulting refs are ordered so
that instead we first return all worktree reflogs before we return all
common refs.
This is the only remaining case where a ref iterator returns entries in
a non-lexicographic order. The result would look something like the
following (listed with a command we introduce in a subsequent commit):
```
$ git reflog list
HEAD
refs/worktree/per-worktree
refs/heads/main
refs/heads/wt
```
So we first print the per-worktree reflogs in lexicographic order, then
the common reflogs in lexicographic order. This is confusing and not
consistent with how we print per-worktree refs, which are exclusively
sorted lexicographically.
Sort reflogs lexicographically in the same way as we sort normal refs.
As this is already implemented properly by the "reftable" backend via a
separate selection function, we simply pull out that logic and reuse it
for the "files" backend. As logs are properly sorted now, mark the
merged reflog iterator as sorted.
Tests will be added in a subsequent commit.

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.

The files ref backend will create both "refs/heads" and "refs/tags" in
the Git directory. While this logic makes sense for normal repositories,
it does not for worktrees because those refs are "common" refs that
would always be contained in the main repository's ref database.
Introduce a new flag telling the backend that it is expected to create a
per-worktree ref database and skip creation of these dirs in the files
backend when the flag is set. No other backends (currently) need
worktree-specific logic, so this is the only required change to start
creating per-worktree ref databases via `refs_init_db()`.

When creating the ref database we unconditionally create the "refs/"
directory in "setup.c". This is a mandatory prerequisite for all Git
repositories regardless of the ref backend in use, because Git will be
unable to detect the directory as a repository if "refs/" doesn't exist.
We are about to add another new caller that will want to create a ref
database when creating worktrees. We would require the same logic to
create the "refs/" directory even though the caller really should not
care about such low-level details. Ideally, the ref database should be
fully initialized after calling `refs_init_db()`.
Move the code to create the directory into the files backend itself to
make it so. This means that future ref backends will also need to have
equivalent logic around to ensure that the directory exists, but it
seems a lot more sensible to have it this way round than to require
callers to create the directory themselves.
An alternative to this would be to create "refs/" in `refs_init_db()`
directly. This feels conceptually unclean though as the creation of the
refdb is now cluttered across different callsites. Furthermore, both the
"files" and the upcoming "reftable" backend write backend-specific data
into the "refs/" directory anyway, so splitting up this logic would only
make it harder to reason about.

The purpose of `refs_init_db()` is to initialize the on-disk files of a
new ref database. The function is quite inflexible right now though, as
callers can neither specify the `struct ref_store` nor can they pass any
flags.
Refactor the interface to accept both of these. This will be required so
that we can start initializing per-worktree ref databases via the ref
backend instead of open-coding the initialization in "worktree.c".

In order to look up ref storage backends, we're currently using a linked
list of backends, where each backend is expected to set up its `next`
pointer to the next ref storage backend. This is kind of a weird setup
as backends need to be aware of other backends without much of a reason.
Refactor the code so that the array of backends is centrally defined in
"refs.c", where each backend is now identified by an integer constant.
Expose functions to translate from those integer constants to the name
and vice versa, which will be required by subsequent patches.

Each of these were checked with
gcc -E -I. ${SOURCE_FILE} | grep ${HEADER_FILE}
to ensure that removing the direct inclusion of the header actually
resulted in that header no longer being included at all (i.e. that
no other header pulled it in transitively).
...except for a few cases where we verified that although the header
was brought in transitively, nothing from it was directly used in
that source file. These cases were:
* builtin/credential-cache.c
* builtin/pull.c
* builtin/send-pack.c

Both the files and the packed-refs reference backends now use the same
generic transactions-based code to delete references. Let's pull these
implementations up into `refs_delete_refs()` to deduplicate the code.

In the `files_delete_refs()` callback function of the files backend we
implement deletion of references. This is done in two steps:
1. We lock the packed-refs file and delete all references from it in
a single transaction.
2. We delete all loose references via separate calls to
`refs_delete_ref()`.
These steps essentially duplicate the logic around locking and deletion
order that we already have in the transactional interfaces, where we do
know to lock and evict references from the packed-refs file. Despite the
fact that we duplicate the logic, it's also less efficient than if we
used a single generic transaction:
- The transactional interface knows to skip locking of the packed
refs in case they don't contain any of the refs which are about to
be deleted.
- We end up creating N+1 separate reference transactions, one for
the packed-refs file and N for the individual loose references.
Refactor the code to instead delete references via a single transaction.
As we don't assert the expected old object ID this is equivalent to the
previous behaviour, and we already do the same in the packed-refs
backend.
Despite the fact that the result is simpler to reason about, this change
also results in improved performance. The following benchmarks have been
executed in linux.git:
```

```
Especially in the case where we have many references we can see a clear
performance speedup of nearly 30%.
This is in contrast to the stated objecive in a27dcf89b68 (refs: make
delete_refs() virtual, 2016-09-04), where the virtual `delete_refs()`
function was introduced with the intent to speed things up rather than
making things slower. So it seems like we have outlived the need for a
virtual function.
