The git_odb_exists_prefix API was not dealing correctly when a
later backend returned GIT_ENOTFOUND even if an earlier backend
had found the object.
Additionally, the unit tests were not properly exercising the API
and had a couple mistakes in checking the results.
Lastly, since the backends are not expected to behavior correctly
unless all bytes of the short id are zero except for the prefix,
this makes the ODB prefix APIs explicitly clear out the extra
bytes so the user doesn't have to be as careful.
When given an ODB from which to read objects, the indexer will attempt
to inject the missing bases at the end of the pack and update the
header and trailer to reflect the new contents.
This makes the git_buf struct that was used internally into an
externally available structure and eliminates the git_buffer.
As part of that, some of the special cases that arose with the
externally used git_buffer were blended into the git_buf, such as
being careful about git_buf objects that may have a NULL ptr and
allowing for bufs with a valid ptr and size but zero asize as a
way of referring to externally owned data.
This moves the git_filter_list into the public API so that users
can create, apply, and dispose of filter lists. This allows more
granular application of filters to user data outside of libgit2
internals.
This also converts all the internal usage of filters to the public
APIs along with a few small tweaks to make it easier to use the
public git_buffer stuff alongside the internal git_buf.
This creates include/sys/filter.h with a basic definition of a
git_filter and then converts the internal code to use it. There
are related internal objects (git_filter_list) that we will want
to publish at some point, but this is a first step.
Now that #1785 is merged, git_odb_stream_finalize_write() calculates the object id before invoking the odb backend.
This commit gives a chance to the backend to check if it already knows this object.
Previously, `git_object_read()`, `git_object_read_prefix()` and
`git_object_exists()` were implementing an auto refresh logic. When the
expected object couldn't be found in any backend, a call to
`git_odb_refresh()` was triggered and the lookup was once again performed
against all backends.
This commit removes this auto-refresh logic from the odb layer and pushes
it down into the pack-backend (as it's the only one currently exposing
a `refresh()` endpoint).
If none of the backends support direct writes and we must stream the
whole file, we already know what the object's id should be; so use the
stream's functions directly, bypassing the frontend's hashing and
overwriting of our existing id.
The frontend is in charge of calculating the id of the objects. Thus
the backends should treat it as a read-only value. The positioning in
the function signature made it seem as though it was an output
parameter.
Make the id const and move it from the front to behind the subject
(backend or stream).
Hash the data as it's coming into the stream and tell the backend what
its name is when finalizing the write. This makes it consistent with
the way a plain git_odb_write() performs the write.
This is in preparation for moving the hashing to the frontend, which
requires us to handle the incoming data before passing it to the
backend's stream.
By zeroing out the memory when we free larger objects (i.e. those
that serve as collections of other data, such as repos, odb, refdb),
I'm hoping that it will be easier for libgit2 bindings to find
errors in their object management code.
There are some cases, particularly where no loaded ODB backends
support a particular operation, where we would return an error
code without having set an error. This catches those cases and
reports that no ODB backends support the operation in question.
This adds create and free callback to the git_objects_table so
that more of the creation and destruction of objects can be table
driven instead of using switch statements. This also makes the
semantics of certain object creation functions consistent so that
we can make better use of function pointers. This also fixes a
theoretical error case where an object allocation fails and we
end up storing NULL into the cache.
This moves some of the odb_backend stuff that is related to the
internals of an odb_backend implementation into include/git2/sys.
Some of the stuff related to streaming I left in include/git2
because it seemed like it would be reasonably needed by a normal
user who wanted to stream objects into and out of the ODB.
Also, I added APIs for traversing the list of backends so that
some of the tests would not need to access ODB internals.
Currently, the odb cache has a fixed size of 128 slots as defined by
GIT_DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE. Allow users to set the size of the cache via
git_libgit2_opts().
Fixes#1035.

All the ODB backends have a specific refresh interface. When reading an
object, first we attempt every single backend: if the read fails, then
we refresh all the backends and retry the read one more time to see if
the object has appeared.
