[PATCH v2 3/3] repository: create read_replace_refs setting

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@xxxxxxxxxx>

The 'read_replace_refs' global specifies whether or not we should
respect the references of the form 'refs/replace/<oid>' to replace which
object we look up when asking for '<oid>'. This global has caused issues
when it is not initialized properly, such as in b6551feadfd (merge-tree:
load default git config, 2023-05-10).

To make this more robust, move its config-based initialization out of
git_default_config and into prepare_repo_settings(). This provides a
repository-scoped version of the 'read_replace_refs' global.

The global still has its purpose: it is disabled process-wide by the
GIT_NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS environment variable or by a call to
disable_replace_refs() in some specific Git commands.

Since we already encapsulated the use of the constant inside
replace_refs_enabled(), we can perform the initialization inside that
method, if necessary. This solves the problem of forgetting to check the
config, as we will check it before returning this value.

There is an interesting behavior change possible here: we now have a
repository-scoped understanding of this config value. Thus, if there was
a command that recurses into submodules and might follow replace refs,
then it would now respect the core.useReplaceRefs config value in each
repository.

'git grep --recurse-submodules' is such a command that recurses into
submodules in-process. We can demonstrate the granularity of this config
value via a test in t7814.
