See [1] for the v1 summary. There was a regression there with "git reflog"'s "--updateref" option, which had no meaningful tests in the test suite (only one test in "t1503-rev-parse-verify.sh"). Test for it, and address Eric's comment about "t3200-branch.sh" by re-structuring that test away from a for-loop. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-00.20-00000000000-20211013T235900Z-avarab@xxxxxxxxx/ Han-Wen Nienhuys (3): branch tests: test for errno propagating on failing read refs API: make refs_read_raw_ref() not set errno refs API: make parse_loose_ref_contents() not set errno Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (18): refs API: add a version of refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() with "errno" refs API: make refs_rename_ref_available() static reflog tests: add --updateref tests refs/files: remove "name exist?" check in lock_ref_oid_basic() refs API: remove refs_read_ref_full() wrapper refs API: make resolve_gitlink_ref() not set errno refs API: make loose_fill_ref_dir() not set errno refs API: make files_copy_or_rename_ref() et al not set errno refs API: ignore errno in worktree.c's add_head_info() refs API: ignore errno in worktree.c's find_shared_symref() refs tests: ignore ignore errno in test-ref-store helper refs API: make refs_resolve_refdup() not set errno refs API: make refs_ref_exists() not set errno refs API: make resolve_ref_unsafe() not set errno refs API: make expand_ref() & repo_dwim_log() not set errno refs API: don't expose "errno" in run_transaction_hook() refs API: post-migration API renaming [1/2] refs API: post-migration API renaming [2/2] refs.c | 124 +++++++++++++++-------------- refs.h | 10 ++- refs/files-backend.c | 153 ++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ refs/packed-backend.c | 7 +- refs/refs-internal.h | 26 ++---- sequencer.c | 10 ++- t/helper/test-ref-store.c | 3 +- t/t1417-reflog-updateref.sh | 65 +++++++++++++++ t/t3200-branch.sh | 22 ++++++ worktree.c | 17 ++-- 10 files changed, 294 insertions(+), 143 deletions(-) create mode 100755 t/t1417-reflog-updateref.sh Range-diff against v1: 1: bea88e382c0 ! 1: 1863c597c98 branch tests: test for errno propagating on failing read @@ t/t3200-branch.sh: test_expect_success SYMLINKS 'git branch -m u v should fail w +test_expect_success SYMLINKS 'git branch -m with symlinked .git/refs' ' + test_when_finished "rm -rf subdir" && -+ git init subdir && ++ git init --bare subdir && + -+ ( -+ cd subdir && -+ for d in refs objects packed-refs -+ do -+ rm -rf .git/$d && -+ ln -s ../../.git/$d .git/$d -+ done -+ ) && -+ git --git-dir subdir/.git/ branch rename-src && ++ rm -rfv subdir/refs subdir/objects subdir/packed-refs && ++ ln -s ../.git/refs subdir/refs && ++ ln -s ../.git/objects subdir/objects && ++ ln -s ../.git/packed-refs subdir/packed-refs && ++ ++ git -C subdir rev-parse --absolute-git-dir >subdir.dir && ++ git rev-parse --absolute-git-dir >our.dir && ++ ! test_cmp subdir.dir our.dir && ++ ++ git -C subdir log && ++ git -C subdir branch rename-src && + git rev-parse rename-src >expect && -+ git --git-dir subdir/.git/ branch -m rename-src rename-dest && ++ git -C subdir branch -m rename-src rename-dest && + git rev-parse rename-dest >actual && + test_cmp expect actual && + git branch -D rename-dest 2: 46641111885 = 2: f6d784b4979 refs API: add a version of refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() with "errno" 3: a1a80715ffe = 3: 8932b109087 refs API: make refs_read_raw_ref() not set errno 4: 758c761abcf ! 4: 988bf62b3f2 refs API: make parse_loose_ref_contents() not set errno @@ refs/refs-internal.h: struct ref_store { /* * Fill in the generic part of refs and add it to our collection of - - ## t/t3200-branch.sh ## -@@ t/t3200-branch.sh: test_expect_success SYMLINKS 'git branch -m with symlinked .git/refs' ' - ) && - git --git-dir subdir/.git/ branch rename-src && - git rev-parse rename-src >expect && -+ # Tests a BUG() assertion in files_read_raw_ref() - git --git-dir subdir/.git/ branch -m rename-src rename-dest && - git rev-parse rename-dest >actual && - test_cmp expect actual && 5: cdf17fa34a4 = 5: 8073f93a904 refs API: make refs_rename_ref_available() static -: ----------- > 6: d3242f5f687 reflog tests: add --updateref tests 6: 3162bf28505 ! 7: 7db3b446632 refs/files: remove "name exist?" check in lock_ref_oid_basic() @@ Commit message already, or something we're about to discover by trying to lock the ref with raceproof_create_file(). + The one exception is the caller in files_reflog_expire(), who passes + us a "type" to find out if the reference is a symref or not.
