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.

This call to parse_tree() was flagged by Coverity for ignoring the
return value. But if we look a little further up the function, we can
see that there is already a call to parse_tree_gently(), and we'll
return early if that fails. So by this point the tree will always be
parsed, and the call is redundant.

In 246cebe320 (refs: add support for migrating reflogs, 2024-12-16) we
have added support to git-refs(1) to migrate reflogs between reference
backends. It was reported [1] though that not we don't migrate reflogs
for a subset of references, most importantly "refs/stash".
This issue is caused by us still honoring "core.logAllRefUpdates" when
trying to migrate reflogs: we do queue the updates, but depending on the
value of that config we may decide to just skip writing the reflog entry
altogether. And given that:
- The default for "core.logAllRefUpdates" is to only create reflogs
for branches, remotes, note refs and "HEAD"
- "refs/stash" is neither of these ref types.
We end up skipping the reflog creation for that particular reference.
Fix the bug by setting `REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG`, which instructs the
ref backends to create the reflog entry regardless of the config or any
preexisting state.

The `block_source_read_block()` function and its implementations return
an integer as a result that reflects either the number of bytes read, or
an error. As such its return type, a signed integer, isn't wrong, but it
doesn't give the reader a good hint what it actually returns.
Refactor the function to return an `ssize_t` instead, which is typical
for functions similar to read(3p) and should thus give readers a better
signal what they can expect as a result.
Adjust callers to better handle the returned value to avoid warnings
with -Wsign-compare. One of these callers is `reader_get_block()`, whose
return value is only ever used by its callers to figure out whether or
not the read was successful. So instead of bubbling up the `ssize_t`
there, too, we adapt it to only indicate success or errors.

The functions `header_size()` and `footer_size()` return a positive
integer representing the size of the header and footer, respectively,
dependent on the version of the reftable format. Similar to the

negative.

The `hash_size()` function returns the number of bytes used by the hash
function. Weirdly enough though, it returns a signed integer for its
size even though the size obviously cannot ever be negative. The only
case where it could be negative is if the function returned an error
when asked for an unknown hash, but we assert(3p) instead.
Adjust the type of `hash_size()` to be `uint32_t` and adapt all places
that use signed integers for the hash size to follow suit. This also
allows us to get rid of a couple asserts that we had which verified that
the size was indeed positive, which further stresses the point that this
refactoring makes sense.

The `common_prefix_size()` function computes the length of the common

couple of -Wsign-compare warnings all over the place.

The logic to decode varints isn't able to detect integer overflows: as
long as the buffer still has more data available, and as long as the
current byte has its 0x80 bit set, we'll continue to add up these values
to the result. This will eventually cause the `uint64_t` to overflow, at
which point we'll return an invalid result.
Refactor the function so that it is able to detect such overflows. The
implementation is basically copied from Git's own `decode_varint()`,
which already knows to handle overflows. The only adjustment is that we
also take into account the string view's length in order to not overrun
it. The reftable documentation explicitly notes that those two encoding
schemas are supposed to be the same:
Varint encoding
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Varint encoding is identical to the ofs-delta encoding method used
within pack files.
Decoder works as follows:
....
val = buf[ptr] & 0x7f
while (buf[ptr] & 0x80) {
ptr++
val = ((val + 1) << 7) | (buf[ptr] & 0x7f)
}
....
While at it, refactor `put_var_int()` in the same way by copying over
the implementation of `encode_varint()`. While `put_var_int()` doesn't
have an issue with overflows, it generates warnings with -Wsign-compare.
The implementation of `encode_varint()` doesn't, is battle-tested and at
the same time way simpler than what we currently have.

expect a certain amount of padding. This padding is generated via
printf using the "%0.s" conversion specification. That directive is
ambiguous because it might be interpreted as field width (most shells)
or 0-padding flag for numeric fields (coreutils).
Fix this issue by using "%${N}s" instead, which is already being
used in other tests (i.e. t5300, t0450) and is unambiguous.

verify_ref_format() parses a ref-filter format string and stores
recognized items in the static array "used_atom". For
"ahead-behind:<committish>" it stores the committish part in a
string_list member "bases" of struct ref_format.
ref_sorting_options() also parses bare ref-filter format items and
stores stores recognized ones in "used_atom" as well. The committish
parts go to a dummy struct ref_format in parse_sorting_atom(), though,
and are leaked and forgotten.
If verify_ref_format() is called before ref_sorting_options(), like in
git for-each-ref, then all works well if the sort key is included in the
format string. If it isn't then sorting cannot work as the committishes
are missing.
If ref_sorting_options() is called first, like in git branch, then we
have the additional issue that if the sort key is included in the format
string then filter_ahead_behind() can't see its committish, will not
generate any results for it and thus it will be expanded to an empty
string.
Fix those issues by replacing the string_list with a field in used_atom
for storing the committish. This way it can be shared for handling both
ref-filter format strings and sorting options in the same command.
