It's kind of like "git peek-remote", but works only locally (and thus
avoids the whole overhead of git_connect()) and has some extra
verification features.
For example, it allows you to filter the results, and to choose whether
you want the tag dereferencing or not. You can also use it to just test
whether a particular ref exists.
For example:
git show-ref master
will show all references called "master", whether tags or heads or
anything else, and regardless of how deep in the reference naming
hierarchy they are (so it would show "refs/heads/master" but also
"refs/remote/other-repo/master").
When using the "--verify" flag, the command requires an exact ref path:
git show-ref --verify refs/heads/master
will only match the exact branch called "master".
If nothing matches, show-ref will return an error code of 1, and in the
case of verification, it will show an error message.
For scripting, you can ask it to be quiet with the "--quiet" flag, which
allows you to do things like
git-show-ref --quiet --verify -- "refs/heads/$headname" ||
echo "$headname is not a valid branch"
to check whether a particular branch exists or not (notice how we don't
actually want to show any results, and we want to use the full refname for
it in order to not trigger the problem with ambiguous partial matches).
To show only tags, or only proper branch heads, use "--tags" and/or
"--heads" respectively (using both means that it shows tags _and_ heads,
but not other random references under the refs/ subdirectory).
To do automatic tag object dereferencing, use the "-d" or "--dereference"
flag, so you can do
git show-ref --tags --dereference
to get a listing of all tags together with what they dereference.

This allows you to maintain a few filesystem pathnames concurrently, by
simply replacing the single static "pathname" buffer with a LRU of four
buffers.
We did exactly the same thing with sha1_to_hex(), for pretty much exactly

easy enough to xstrdup() them, why not just do the LU buffer thing.

gitweb: Allow for href() to be used for links without project param
Make it possible to use href() subroutine to generate link with
query string which does not include project ('p') parameter.
href() used to add project=$project to its parameters, if it
was not set (to be more exact if $params{'project'} was false).
Now you can pass "project => undef" if you don't want for href()
to add project parameter to query string in the generated link.
Links to "project_list", "project_index" and "opml" (all related
to list of all projects/all git repositories) doesn't need project
parameter. Moreover "project_list" is default view (action) if
project ('p') parameter is not set, just like "summary" is default
view (action) if project is set; project list served as a kind
of "home" page for gitweb instalation, and links to "project_list"
view were done without specyfying it as an action.
Convert remaining links (except $home_link and anchor links)
to use href(); this required adding 'order => "o"' to @mapping
in href(). This finishes consolidation of URL generation.

gitweb: Do not parse refs by hand, use git-peek-remote instead
This is in response to Linus's work on packed refs. Additionally it
makes gitweb work with symrefs, too.
Do not parse refs by hand, using File::Find and reading individual
heads to get hash of reference, but use git-peek-remote output
instead. Assume that the hash for deref (with ^{}) always follows hash
for ref, and that we have derefs only for tag objects; this removes
call to git_get_type (and git-cat-file -t invocation) for tags, which
speeds "summary" and "tags" views generation, but might slow generation
of "heads" view a bit. For now, we do not save and use the deref hash.
Remove git_get_hash_by_ref while at it, as git_get_refs_list was the
only place it was used.

When we are generating packs to update remote repositories we
want to supply as much information as possible about the revisions
that already exist to rev-list in order optimise the pack as much
as possible. We need to pass two revisions for each branch we are

Where the remote repository has numerous branches we can run out
of command line space to pass them.

Teach rev-list an option to read revs from the standard input.
When --stdin option is given, in addition to the <rev>s listed
on the command line, the command can read one rev parameter per
line from the standard input. The list of revs ends at the
first empty line or EOF.
Note that you still have to give all the flags from the command
line; only rev arguments (including A..B, A...B, and A^@ notations)
can be give from the standard input.
revision.c: allow injecting revision parameters after setup_revisions().
setup_revisions() wants to get all the parameters at once and
then postprocesses the resulting revs structure after it is done
with them. This code structure is a bit cumbersome to deal with
efficiently when we want to inject revision parameters from the
side (e.g. read from standard input).
Fortunately, the nature of this postprocessing is not affected by
revision parameters; they are affected only by flags. So it is
Ok to do add_object() after the it returns.
This splits out the code that deals with the revision parameter
out of the main loop of setup_revisions(), so that we can later
call it from elsewhere after it returns.
When build a pack for a push we query the remote copy for existant
heads. These are used to prune unnecessary objects from the pack.
As we receive the remote references in get_remote_heads() we validate
the reference names via check_ref() which includes a length check;
rejecting those >45 characters in size.
This is a miss converted change, it was originally designed to reject
messages which were less than 45 characters in length (a 40 character
sha1 and refs/) to prevent comparing unitialised memory. check_ref()
now gets the raw length so check for at least 5 characters.

If you try to fsck a repository that isn't entirely empty, but that has no
inter-object references (ie all the objects are blobs, and don't refer to
anything else), git-fsck-objects currently fails.
This probably cannot happen in practice, but can be tested with something
like
where the fsck will die by a divide-by-zero when it tries to look up the
references from the one object it found (hash_obj() will do a modulus by
refs_hash_size).
On some other archiectures (ppc, sparc) the divide-by-zero will go
unnoticed, and we'll instead SIGSEGV when we hit the "refs_hash[j]"
access.
So move the test that should protect against this from mark_reachable()
into lookup_object_refs(), which incidentally in the process also fixes
mark_reachable() itself (it used to not mark the one object that _was_
reachable, because it decided that it had no refs too early).

unpack-objects desperately salvages objects from a corrupt pack
The command unpack-objects dies upon the first error. This is
probably considered a feature -- if a pack is corrupt, instead
of trying to extract from it and possibly risking to contaminate
a good repository with objects whose validity is dubious, we
should seek a good copy of the pack and retry. However, we may
not have any good copy anywhere. This implements the last
resort effort to extract what are salvageable from such a
corrupt pack.
This flag might have helped Sergio when recovering from a
corrupt pack. In my test, it managed to salvage 247 objects out
of a pack that had 251 objects but without it the command
stopped after extracting 73 objects.
more lightweight revalidation while reusing deflated stream in packing
When copying from an existing pack and when copying from a loose
object with new style header, the code makes sure that the piece
we are going to copy out inflates well and inflate() consumes
the data in full while doing so.
The check to see if the xdelta really apply is quite expensive
as you described, because you would need to have the image of
the base object which can be represented as a delta against
something else.

the receiving end will do the validation either by unpacking
the stream or by constructing the .idx file.

git-fsck-objects: lacking default references should not be fatal
The comment added says it all: if we have lost all references in a git
archive, git-fsck-objects should still work, so instead of dying it should
just notify the user about that condition.
This change was triggered by me just doing a "git-init-db" and then
populating that empty git archive with a pack/index file to look at it.
Having git-fsck-objects not work just because I didn't have any references
handy was rather irritating, since part of the reason for running
git-fsck-objects in the first place was to _find_ the missing references.
However, "--unreachable" really doesn't make sense in that situation, and
we want to turn it off to protect anybody who uses the old "git prune"
shell-script (rather than the modern built-in). The old pruning script
used to remove all objects that were reported as unreachable, and without
any refs, that obviously means everything - not worth it.
