If you delete the symbolic-ref HEAD from a repository, Git no longer
considers the repository valid, and even "git symbolic-ref HEAD
refs/heads/master" would not be able to recover from that state
(although "git init" can, but that is a sure sign that you are
talking about a "broken" repository).
In the spirit similar to afe5d3d5 ("symbolic ref: refuse non-ref
targets in HEAD", 2009-01-29), forbid removal of HEAD to avoid
corrupting a repository.

If a repository contains more than one root commit, then its HEAD
reflog may contain multiple "creation events", i.e. entries whose
"from" value is the null sha1. Listing such a reflog currently stops
prematurely at the first such entry, even when the reflog still
contains older entries. This can scare users into thinking that their
reflog got truncated after 'git checkout --orphan'.
Continue walking the reflog past such creation events based on the
preceeding reflog entry's "new" value.
The test 'symbolic-ref writes reflog entry' in t1401-symbolic-ref
implicitly relies on the current behavior of the reflog walker to stop
at a root commit and thus to list only the reflog entries that are
relevant for that test. Adjust the test to explicitly specify the
number of relevant reflog entries to be listed.

The low-level code that is used to create symbolic references has
been updated to share more code with the code that deals with
normal references.
* jk/symbolic-ref:
lock_ref_sha1_basic: handle REF_NODEREF with invalid refs
lock_ref_sha1_basic: always fill old_oid while holding lock
checkout,clone: check return value of create_symref
create_symref: write reflog while holding lock
create_symref: use existing ref-lock code
create_symref: modernize variable names

We sometimes call lock_ref_sha1_basic with REF_NODEREF
to operate directly on a symbolic ref. This is used, for
example, to move to a detached HEAD, or when updating
the contents of HEAD via checkout or symbolic-ref.
However, the first step of the function is to resolve the
refname to get the "old" sha1, and we do so without telling
resolve_ref_unsafe() that we are only interested in the
symref. As a result, we may detect a problem there not with
the symref itself, but with something it points to.
The real-world example I found (and what is used in the test
suite) is a HEAD pointing to a ref that cannot exist,
because it would cause a directory/file conflict with other
existing refs. This situation is somewhat broken, of
course, as trying to _commit_ on that HEAD would fail. But
it's not explicitly forbidden, and we should be able to move
away from it. However, neither "git checkout" nor "git
symbolic-ref" can do so. We try to take the lock on HEAD,
which is pointing to a non-existent ref. We bail from
resolve_ref_unsafe() with errno set to EISDIR, and the lock
code thinks we are attempting to create a d/f conflict.
Of course we're not. The problem is that the lock code has
no idea what level we were at when we got EISDIR, so trying
to diagnose or remove empty directories for HEAD is not
useful.
To make things even more complicated, we only get EISDIR in
the loose-ref case. If the refs are packed, the resolution
may "succeed", giving us the pointed-to ref in "refname",
but a null oid. Later, we say "ah, the null oid means we are
creating; let's make sure there is room for it", but
mistakenly check against the _resolved_ refname, not the
original.
We can fix this by making two tweaks:
1. Call resolve_ref_unsafe() with RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE
when REF_NODEREF is set. This means any errors
we get will be from the orig_refname, and we can act
accordingly.
We already do this in the REF_DELETING case, but we
should do it for update, too.
2. If we do get a "refname" return from
resolve_ref_unsafe(), even with RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE
it may be the name of the ref pointed-to by a symref.
We already normalize this back to orig_refname before
taking the lockfile, but we need to do so before the
null_oid check.
While we're rearranging the REF_NODEREF handling, we can
also bump the initialization of lflags to the top of the
function, where we are setting up other flags. This saves us
from having yet another conditional block on REF_NODEREF
just to set it later.

The create_symref() function predates the existence of
"struct lock_file", let alone the more recent "struct
ref_lock". Instead, it just does its own manual dot-locking.
Besides being more code, this has a few downsides:
- if git is interrupted while holding the lock, we don't
clean up the lockfile
- we don't do the usual directory/filename conflict check.
So you can sometimes create a symref "refs/heads/foo/bar",
even if "refs/heads/foo" exists (namely, if the refs are
packed and we do not hit the d/f conflict in the
filesystem).
This patch refactors create_symref() to use the "struct
ref_lock" interface, which handles both of these things.
There are a few bonus cleanups that come along with it:
- we leaked ref_path in some error cases
- the symref contents were stored in a fixed-size buffer,
putting an artificial (albeit large) limitation on the
length of the refname. We now write through fprintf, and
handle refnames of any size.
- we called adjust_shared_perm only after the file was
renamed into place, creating a potential race with
readers in a shared repository. The lockfile code now
handles this when creating the lockfile, making it
atomic.
- the legacy prefer_symlink_refs path did not do any
locking at all. Admittedly, it is not atomic from a
reader's perspective (as it unlinks and re-creates the
symlink to overwrite), but at least it cannot conflict
with other writers now.
- the result of this patch is hopefully more readable. It
eliminates three goto labels. Two were for error checking
that is now simplified, and the third was to reach shared
code that has been pulled into its own function.

The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.
The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.
The patch was generated by:
for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh")
do
perl -i -pe 'BEGIN{undef $/;} s/`(.+?)`/\$(\1)/smg' "${_f}"
done
and then carefully proof-read.

If create_symref() fails, git-symbolic-ref will still exit
with code 0, and our caller has no idea that the command did
nothing.
This appears to have been broken since the beginning of time
(e.g., it is not a regression where create_symref() stopped
calling die() or something similar).

resolve_ref already uses a strbuf internally when generating
pathnames, but it uses fixed-size buffers for storing the
refname and symbolic refs. This means that you cannot
actually point HEAD to a ref that is larger than 256 bytes.
We can lift this limit by using strbufs here, too. Like
sb_path, we pass the the buffers into our helper function,
so that we can easily clean up all output paths. We can also
drop the "unsafe" name from our helper function, as it no
longer uses a single static buffer (but of course
resolve_ref_unsafe is still unsafe, because the static
buffers moved there).
As a bonus, we also get to drop some strcpy calls between
the two fixed buffers (that cannot currently overflow
because the two buffers are sized identically).

Teach symbolic-ref to delete symrefs by adding the -d/--delete option to
git-symbolic-ref. Both proper and dangling symrefs are deleted by this
option, but other refs - or anything else that is not a symref - is not.
The symref deletion is performed by first verifying that we are given a
proper symref, and then invoking delete_ref() on it with the REF_NODEREF
flag.

Commit afe5d3d5 introduced a safety valve to symbolic-ref to
disallow installing an invalid HEAD. It was accompanied by
b229d18a, which changed validate_headref to require that
HEAD contain a pointer to refs/heads/ instead of just refs/.
Therefore, the safety valve also checked for refs/heads/.
As it turns out, topgit is using refs/top-bases/ in HEAD,
leading us to re-loosen (at least temporarily) the
validate_headref check made in b229d18a. This patch does the
corresponding loosening for the symbolic-ref safety valve,
so that the two are in agreement once more.

When calling "git symbolic-ref" it is easy to forget that
the target must be a fully qualified ref. E.g., you might
accidentally do:
$ git symbolic-ref HEAD master
Unfortunately, this is very difficult to recover from,
because the bogus contents of HEAD make git believe we are
no longer in a git repository (as is_git_dir explicitly
checks for "^refs/heads/" in the HEAD target). So
immediately trying to fix the situation doesn't work:
$ git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/master
fatal: Not a git repository
and one is left editing the .git/HEAD file manually.
Furthermore, one might be tempted to use symbolic-ref to set
up a detached HEAD:
$ git symbolic-ref HEAD `git rev-parse HEAD`
which sets up an even more bogus HEAD:
$ cat .git/HEAD
ref: 1a9ace4f2ad4176148e61b5a85cd63d5604aac6d
This patch introduces a small safety valve to prevent the
specific case of anything not starting with refs/heads/ to
go into HEAD. The scope of the safety valve is intentionally
very limited, to make sure that we are not preventing any
behavior that would otherwise be valid (like pointing a
different symref than HEAD outside of refs/heads/).
