t3700: remove unwanted leftover files before running new tests
When an earlier test that has prerequisite is skipped, files
used by later tests may be left in the working tree in an
unexpected state. For example, a test runs this sequence:
echo foo >xfoo1 && chmod 755 xfoo1
to create an executable file xfoo1, expecting that xfoo1
does not exist before it runs in the test sequence.
However, the absence of this file depends on "git reset
--hard" done in an earlier test, that is skipped when SANITY
prerequisite is not met, and worse yet, xfoo1 originally is
created as a symbolic link, which means the chmod does not
affect the modes of xfoo1 as this test expects.
Fix this by starting the test with "rm -f xfoo1" to make
sure the file is created from scratch, and do the same to
other similar tests.

merge-recursive: flush output buffer even when erroring out
Ever since 66a155b (Enable output buffering in merge-recursive.,
2007-01-14), we had a problem: When the merge failed in a fatal way, all
regular output was swallowed because we called die() and did not get a
chance to drain the output buffers.
To fix this, several modifications were necessary:
- we needed to stop die()ing, to give callers a chance to do something
when an error occurred (in this case, flush the output buffers),
- we needed to delay printing the error message so that the caller can
print the buffered output before that, and
- we needed to make sure that the output buffers are flushed even when
the return value indicates an error.
The first two changes were introduced through earlier commits in this
patch series, and this commit addresses the third one.

merge_trees(): ensure that the callers release output buffer
The recursive merge machinery accumulates its output in an output
buffer, to be flushed at the end of merge_recursive(). At this point,
we forgot to release the output buffer.
When calling merge_trees() (i.e. the non-recursive part of the recursive
merge) directly, the output buffer is never flushed because the caller
may be merge_recursive() which wants to flush the output itself.
For the same reason, merge_trees() cannot release the output buffer: it
may still be needed.
Forgetting to release the output buffer did not matter much when running
git-checkout, or git-merge-recursive, because we exited after the
operation anyway. Ever since cherry-pick learned to pick a commit range,
however, this memory leak had the potential of becoming a problem.

merge-recursive: offer an option to retain the output in 'obuf'
Since 66a155b (Enable output buffering in merge-recursive., 2007-01-14),
we already accumulate the output in a buffer. The idea was to avoid
interfering with the progress output that goes to stderr, which is
unbuffered, when we write to stdout, which is buffered.
We extend that buffering to allow the caller to handle the output
(possibly suppressing it). This will help us when extending the
sequencer to do rebase -i's brunt work: it does not want the picks to
print anything by default but instead determine itself whether to print
the output or not.
Note that we also redirect the error messages into the output buffer
when the caller asked not to flush the output buffer, for two reasons:
1) to retain the correct output order, and 2) to allow the caller to
suppress *all* output.

In 66a155b (Enable output buffering in merge-recursive., 2007-01-14), we
changed the code such that it prints the output in one go, to avoid
interfering with the progress output.
Let's make sure that the same holds true when outputting the commit
title: previously, we used several printf() statements to stdout and
assumed that stdout's buffer is large enough to hold the entire
commit title.
Apart from making that speculation unnecessary, we change the code to
add the message to the output buffer before flushing for another reason:
the next commit will introduce a new level of output buffering, where
the caller can request the output not to be flushed, but to be retained
for further processing.
This latter feature will be needed when teaching the sequencer to do
rebase -i's brunt work: it wants to control the output of the
cherry-picks (i.e. recursive merges).

merge-recursive: flush output buffer before printing error messages
The data structure passed to the recursive merge machinery has a feature
where the caller can ask for the output to be buffered into a strbuf, by
setting the field 'buffer_output'.
Previously, we died without flushing, losing accumulated output. With
this patch, we show the output first, and only then print the error
message.
Currently, the only user of that buffering is merge_recursive() itself,
to avoid the progress output to interfere.
In the next patches, we will introduce a new buffer_output mode that
forces merge_recursive() to retain the output buffer for further
processing by the caller. If the caller asked for that, we will then
also write the error messages into the output buffer. This is necessary
to give the caller more control not only how to react in case of errors
but also control how/if to display the error messages.

pack-objects: compute local/ignore_pack_keep early
In want_object_in_pack(), we can exit early from our loop if
neither "local" nor "ignore_pack_keep" are set. If they are,
however, we must examine each pack to see if it has the
object and is non-local or has a ".keep".
It's quite common for there to be no non-local or .keep
packs at all, in which case we know ahead of time that
looking further will be pointless. We can pre-compute this
by simply iterating over the list of packs ahead of time,
and dropping the flags if there are no packs that could
match.
Another similar strategy would be to modify the loop in
want_object_in_pack() to notice that we have already found
the object once, and that we are looping only to check for
"local" and "keep" attributes. If a pack has neither of
those, we can skip the call to find_pack_entry_one(), which
is the expensive part of the loop.
This has two advantages:
- it isn't all-or-nothing; we still get some improvement
when there's a small number of kept or non-local packs,
and a large number of non-kept local packs
- it eliminates any possible race where we add new
non-local or kept packs after our initial scan. In
practice, I don't think this race matters; we already
cache the packed_git information, so somebody who adds a
new pack or .keep file after we've started will not be
noticed at all, unless we happen to need to call
reprepare_packed_git() because a lookup fails.
In other words, we're already racy, and the race is not
a big deal (losing the race means we might include an
object in the pack that would not otherwise be, which is
an acceptable outcome).
However, it also has a disadvantage: we still loop over the
rest of the packs for each object to check their flags. This
is much less expensive than doing the object lookup, but
still not free. So if we wanted to implement that strategy
to cover the non-all-or-nothing cases, we could do so in
addition to this one (so you get the most speedup in the
all-or-nothing case, and the best we can do in the other
cases). But given that the all-or-nothing case is likely the
most common, it is probably not worth the trouble, and we
can revisit this later if evidence points otherwise.

When pack-objects collects the list of objects to pack
(either from stdin, or via its internal rev-list), it
filters each one through want_object_in_pack().
This function loops through each existing packfile, looking
for the object. When we find it, we mark the pack/offset
combo for later use. However, we can't just return "yes, we
want it" at that point. If --honor-pack-keep is in effect,
we must keep looking to find it in _all_ packs, to make sure
none of them has a .keep. Likewise, if --local is in effect,
we must make sure it is not present in any non-local pack.
As a result, the sum effort of these calls is effectively
O(nr_objects * nr_packs). In an ordinary repository, we have
only a handful of packs, and this doesn't make a big
difference. But in pathological cases, it can slow the
counting phase to a crawl.
This patch notices the case that we have neither "--local"
nor "--honor-pack-keep" in effect and breaks out of the loop
early, after finding the first instance. Note that our worst
case is still "objects * packs" (i.e., we might find each
object in the last pack we look in), but in practice we will
often break out early. On an "average" repo, my git.git with
8 packs, this shows a modest 2% (a few dozen milliseconds)
improvement in the counting-objects phase of "git
pack-objects --all <foo" (hackily instrumented by sticking
exit(0) right after list_objects).
But in a much more pathological case, it makes a bigger
difference. I ran the same command on a real-world example
with ~9 million objects across 1300 packs. The counting time
dropped from 413s to 45s, an improvement of about 89%.
Note that this patch won't do anything by itself for a
normal "git gc", as it uses both --honor-pack-keep and
--local.

find_pack_entry: replace last_found_pack with MRU cache
Each pack has an index for looking up entries in O(log n)
time, but if we have multiple packs, we have to scan through
them linearly. This can produce a measurable overhead for
some operations.
We dealt with this long ago in f7c22cc (always start looking
up objects in the last used pack first, 2007-05-30), which
keeps what is essentially a 1-element most-recently-used
cache. In theory, we should be able to do better by keeping
a similar but longer cache, that is the same length as the
pack-list itself.
Since we now have a convenient generic MRU structure, we can
plug it in and measure. Here are the numbers for running
p5303 against linux.git:
The main numbers of interest here are the rev-list ones
(since that is exercising the normal object lookup code
path). The single-pack case shouldn't improve at all; the
260ms speedup there is just part of the run-to-run noise
(but it's important to note that we didn't make anything
worse with the overhead of maintaining our cache). In the
50-pack case, we see similar results. There may be a slight
improvement, but it's mostly within the noise.
The 1000-pack case does show a big improvement, though. That
carries over to the repack case, as well. Even though we
haven't touched its pack-search loop yet, it does still do a
lot of normal object lookups (e.g., for the internal
revision walk), and so improves.
As a point of reference, I also ran the 1000-pack test
against a version of HEAD^ with the last_found_pack
optimization disabled. It takes ~60s, so that gives an
indication of how much even the single-element cache is
helping.
For comparison, here's a smaller repository, git.git:
You can see that the percentage improvement is similar.
That's because the lookup we are optimizing is roughly
O(nr_objects * nr_packs). Since the number of packs is
constant in both tests, we'd expect the improvement to be
linear in the number of objects. But the whole process is
also linear in the number of objects, so the improvement
is a constant factor.
The exact improvement does also depend on the contents of
the packs. In p5303, the extra packs all have 5 first-parent
commits in them, which is a reasonable simulation of a
pushed-to repository. But it also means that only 250
first-parent commits are in those packs (compared to almost
50,000 total in linux.git), and the rest are in the huge
"base" pack. So once we start looking at history in taht big
pack, that's where we'll find most everything, and even the
1-element cache gets close to 100% cache hits. You could
almost certainly show better numbers with a more
pathological case (e.g., distributing the objects more
evenly across the packs). But that's simply not that
realistic a scenario, so it makes more sense to focus on
these numbers.
The implementation itself is a straightforward application
of the MRU code. We provide an MRU-ordered list of packs
that shadows the packed_git list. This is easy to do because
we only create and revise the pack list in one place. The
"reprepare" code path actually drops the whole MRU and
replaces it for simplicity. It would be more efficient to
just add new entries, but there's not much point in
optimizing here; repreparing happens rarely, and only after
doing a lot of other expensive work. The key things to keep
optimized are traversal (which is just a normal linked list,
albeit with one extra level of indirection over the regular
packed_git list), and marking (which is a constant number of
pointer assignments, though slightly more than the old
last_found_pack was; it doesn't seem to create a measurable
slowdown, though).

There are a few places in Git that would benefit from a fast
most-recently-used cache (e.g., the list of packs, which we
search linearly but would like to order based on locality).
This patch introduces a generic list that can be used to
store arbitrary pointers in most-recently-used order.
The implementation is just a doubly-linked list, where
"marking" an item as used moves it to the front of the list.
Insertion and marking are O(1), and iteration is O(n).
There's no lookup support provided; if you need fast
lookups, you are better off with a different data structure
in the first place.
There is also no deletion support. This would not be hard to
do, but it's not necessary for handling pack structs, which
are created and never removed.

The point of this function is to drop an entry from the
"packed_git" cache that points to a file we might be
overwriting, because our contents may not be the same (and
hence the only caller was pack-objects as it moved a
temporary packfile into place).
In older versions of git, this could happen because the
names of packfiles were derived from the set of objects they
contained, not the actual bits on disk. But since 1190a1a
(pack-objects: name pack files after trailer hash,
2013-12-05), the name reflects the actual bits on disk, and
any two packfiles with the same name can be used
interchangeably.
Dropping this function not only saves a few lines of code,
it makes the lifetime of "struct packed_git" much easier to
reason about: namely, we now do not ever free these structs.

Git's pack storage does efficient (log n) lookups in a
single packfile's index, but if we have multiple packfiles,
we have to linearly search each for a given object. This
patch introduces some timing tests for cases where we have a
large number of packs, so that we can measure any
improvements we make in the following patches.
The main thing we want to time is object lookup. To do this,
we measure "git rev-list --objects --all", which does a
fairly large number of object lookups (essentially one per
object in the repository).
However, we also measure the time to do a full repack, which
is interesting for two reasons. One is that in addition to
the usual pack lookup, it has its own linear iteration over
the list of packs. And two is that because it it is the tool
one uses to go from an inefficient many-pack situation back
to a single pack, we care about its performance not only at
marginal numbers of packs, but at the extreme cases (e.g.,
if you somehow end up with 5,000 packs, it is the only way
to get back to 1 pack, so we need to make sure it performs
well).
We measure the performance of each command in three
scenarios: 1 pack, 50 packs, and 1,000 packs.
The 1-pack case is a baseline; any optimizations we do to
handle multiple packs cannot possibly perform better than
this.
The 50-pack case is as far as Git should generally allow
your repository to go, if you have auto-gc enabled with the
default settings. So this represents the maximum performance
improvement we would expect under normal circumstances.
The 1,000-pack case is hopefully rare, though I have seen it
in the wild where automatic maintenance was broken for some
time (and the repository continued to receive pushes). This
represents cases where we care less about general
performance, but want to make sure that a full repack
command does not take excessively long.

rebase-interactive: trim leading whitespace from progress count
Interactive rebase uses 'wc -l' to write the current patch number
in a progress report. Some implementations of 'wc -l' produce spaces
before the number, leading to ugly output such as
Rebasing ( 3/8)
Remove the spaces using a trivial arithmetic evaluation.
Before 9588c52 (i18n: rebase-interactive: mark strings for

generate the text. Since that commit, the count is interpolated
directly from a shell variable into the text, where the spaces
remain. The total number of patches does not have this problem
even though it is interpolated from a shell variable in the same
manner, because the variable is set by an arithmetic evaluation.
Later in the script, there is a virtually identical case where
leading spaces are trimmed, but it uses a pattern substitution:
I did not choose this idiom because it adds a line of code, and
there is already an arithmetic evaluation in the vicinity of the
line that is changed here.

configuration origin types (blob, file, etc). Previously origin type
was considered from command line if cf->origin_type == NULL, i.e.,
uninitialized. Now we set origin_type to CONFIG_ORIGIN_CMDLINE in
git_config_from_parameters() and configset_add_value().
For error message in git_parse_source(), use xstrfmt() function to
prepare the message string, instead of doing something like it's done
for die_bad_number(), because intelligibility and code conciseness are
improved for that instance.

We already have "--date=raw", which is a Unix epoch
timestamp plus a contextual timezone (either the author's or
the local). But one may not care about the timezone and just
want the epoch timestamp by itself. It's not hard to parse
the two apart, but if you are using a pretty-print format,
you may want git to show the "finished" form that the user
will see.
We can accomodate this by adding a new date format, "unix",
which is basically "raw" without the timezone.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The "raw" format shows a Unix epoch timestamp, but with a
timezone tacked on. The timestamp is not _in_ that zone, but
it is extra information about the time (by default, the zone
the author was in).
The documentation claims that "raw-local" does not work. It
does, but the end result is rather subtle. Let's describe it
in better detail, and test to make sure it works (namely,
the epoch time doesn't change, but the zone does).
While we are rewording the documentation in this area, let's
not use the phrase "does not work" for the remaining option,
"--date=relative". It's vague; do we accept it or not? We do
accept it, but it has no effect (which is a reasonable
outcome). We should also refer to the option not as
"--relative" (which is the historical synonym, and does not
take "-local" at all), but as "--date=relative".

Our usual style in the test scripts is to indent here
documents with tabs, and use "<<-" to strip the tabs. The
result is easier to read.
This old test script did not do so in its inception, and
further tests added onto it followed the local style. Let's
bring it in line with our usual style.
Some of the tests actually care quite a bit about
whitespace, but none of them do so at the beginning of the
line (because they use things like qz_to_tab_space to avoid
depending on the literal whitespace), so we can do a fairly
mechanical conversion.
Most of the here-docs also use interpolation, so they have
been left as "<<-EOF". In a few cases, though, where
interpolation was not in use, I've converted them to
"<<-\EOF" to match our usual "don't interpolate unless you
need to" style.

We generally avoid performing actions at the top-level of
the script (outside of a test_expect block) for two reasons:
1. The test harness is not checking and reporting if they
fail.
2. Their output is not handled correctly (not hidden by
default, nor shown with "-v").
Using &&-chains seems like it should help with (1), but it
doesn't. If either of the commands fails, we simply skip
running the follow-on test entirely, and the test harness
has no idea.
We can fix this by pushing that setup into its own block.
It _could_ go into the following test block, but since the
result in this case is used by multiple tests, it's more
clear to mark it explicitly as a distinct setup step.

"git merge" in v2.9 prevents merging unrelated histories.
"git subtree split --rejoin" creates unrelated histories when
creating a split repo from a raw sub-directory that did not
originate from an invocation of "git subtree add".
Restore the original behavior by passing --allow-unrelated-histories
when merging subtrees. This ensures that the synthetic history
created by "git subtree split" can be merged.

push: allow pushing new branches with --force-with-lease
If there is no upstream information for a branch, it is likely that it
is newly created and can safely be pushed under the normal fast-forward
rules. Relax the --force-with-lease check so that we do not reject
these branches immediately but rather attempt to push them as new
branches, using the null SHA-1 as the expected value.
In fact, it is already possible to push new branches using the explicit
--force-with-lease=<branch>:<expect> syntax, so all we do here is make
this behaviour the default if no explicit "expect" value is specified.

Last October, we had to change this code to run `git merge-recursive`
in a child process: git-am wants to print some helpful advice when the
merge failed, but the code in question was not prepared to return, it
die()d instead.
We are finally at a point when the code *is* prepared to return errors,
and can avoid the child process again.
This reverts commit c63d4b2 (am -3: do not let failed merge from
completing the error codepath, 2015-10-09), with the necessary changes
to adjust for the fact that Git's source code changed in the meantime
(such as: using OIDs instead of hashes in the recursive merge, and a
removed gender bias).
Note: the code now calls merge_recursive_generic() again. Unlike
merge_trees() and merge_recursive(), this function returns 0 upon success,
as most of Git's functions. Therefore, the error value -1 naturally is
handled correctly, and we do not have to take care of it specifically.

merge-recursive: switch to returning errors instead of dying
The recursive merge machinery is supposed to be a library function, i.e.
it should return an error when it fails. Originally the functions were
part of the builtin "merge-recursive", though, where it was simpler to
call die() and be done with error handling.
The existing callers were already prepared to detect negative return
values to indicate errors and to behave as previously: exit with code 128
(which is the same thing that die() does, after printing the message).

We are about to libify the recursive merge machinery, where we only
die() in case of a bug or memory contention. To that end, we must heed
negative return values as indicating errors.
This requires our functions to be careful to pass through error
conditions in call chains, and for quite a few functions this means
that they have to return values to begin with.
The next step will be to convert the places where we currently die() to
return negative values (read: -1) instead.
Note that we ignore errors reported by make_room_for_path(), consistent
with the previous behavior (update_file_flags() used the return value of
make_room_for_path() only to indicate an early return, but not a fatal
error): if the error is really a fatal error, we will notice later; If
not, it was not that serious a problem to begin with. (Witnesses in
favor of this reasoning are t4151-am-abort and t7610-mergetool, which
would start failing if we stopped on errors reported by
make_room_for_path()).
Also note: while this patch makes the code slightly less readable in
update_file_flags() (we introduce a new "goto free_buf;" instead of
an explicit "free(buf); return;"), it is a preparatory change for
the next patch where we will convert all of the die() calls in the same
function to go through the free_buf return path instead.

merge-recursive: avoid returning a wholesale struct
It is technically allowed, as per C89, for functions' return type to
be complete structs (i.e. *not* just pointers to structs).
However, it was just an oversight of this developer when converting
Python code to C code in 6d297f8 (Status update on merge-recursive in
C, 2006-07-08) which introduced such a return type.
Besides, by converting this construct to pass in the struct, we can now
start returning a value that can indicate errors in future patches. This
will help the current effort to libify merge-recursive.c.

prepare the builtins for a libified merge_recursive()
Previously, callers of merge_trees() or merge_recursive() expected that
code to die() with an error message. This used to be okay because we
called those commands from scripts, and had a chance to print out a
message in case the command failed fatally (read: with exit code 128).
As scripting incurs its own set of problems (portability, speed,
idiosyncrasies of different shells, limited data structures leading to
inefficient code), we are converting more and more of these scripts into
builtins, using library functions directly.
We already tried to use merge_recursive() directly in the builtin
git-am, for example. Unfortunately, we had to roll it back temporarily
because some of the code in merge-recursive.c still deemed it okay to
call die(), when the builtin am code really wanted to print out a useful
advice after the merge failed fatally. In the next commits, we want to
fix that.
The code touched by this commit expected merge_trees() to die() with
some useful message when there is an error condition, but merge_trees()
is going to be improved by converting all die() calls to return error()
instead (i.e. return value -1 after printing out the message as before),
so that the caller can react more flexibly.
This is a step to prepare for the version of merge_trees() that no
longer dies, even if we just imitate the previous behavior by calling
exit(128): this is what callers of e.g. `git merge` have come to expect.
Note that the callers of the sequencer (revert and cherry-pick) already
fail fast even for the return value -1; The only difference is that they
now get a chance to say "<command> failed".
A caller of merge_trees() might want handle error messages themselves
(or even suppress them). As this patch is already complex enough, we
leave that change for a later patch.

It can be puzzling to see that was_tracked() asks to get an index entry
by name, but does not take a negative return value for an answer.
The reason we have to do this is that cache_name_pos() only looks for
entries in stage 0, even if nobody asked for any stage in particular.
Let's rewrite the logic a little bit, to handle the easy case early: if
cache_name_pos() returned a non-negative position, we know it is a match,
and we do not even have to compare the name again (cache_name_pos() did
that for us already). We can say right away: yes, this file was tracked.
Only if there was no exact match do we need to look harder for any
matching entry in stage 2.

While working on the patch series that avoids die()ing in recursive
merges, the issue came up that bug reports (i.e. die("BUG: ...")
constructs) should never be translated, as the target audience is the
Git developer community, not necessarily the current user, and hence
a translated message would make it *harder* to address the problem.
So let's stop translating the obvious ones. As it is really, really
outside the purview of this patch series to see whether there are more
die() statements that report bugs and are currently translated, that
task is left for another day and patch.

t5520: verify that `pull --rebase` shows the helpful advice when failing
It was noticed by Brendan Forster last October that the builtin `git am`
regressed on that. Our hot fix reverted to spawning the recursive merge
instead of using it as a library function.
As we are about to revert that hot fix, after making the recursive merge a
true library function (i.e. a function that does not die() in case of
"normal" errors), let's add a test that verifies that we do not regress on
the same problem which made the hot fix necessary in the first place.

Existing autoconf generated test for the need to link with pthread
library did not check all the functions from pthread libraries;
recent FreeBSD has some functions in libc but not others, and we
mistakenly thought linking with libc is enough when it is not.
* ew/autoconf-pthread:
configure.ac: stronger test for pthread linkage
"git blame file" allowed the lineage of lines in the uncommitted,
unadded contents of "file" to be inspected, but it refused when
"file" did not appear in the current commit. When "file" was
created by renaming an existing file (but the change has not been
committed), this restriction was unnecessarily tight.
* mh/blame-worktree:
t/t8003-blame-corner-cases.sh: Use here documents
blame: allow to blame paths freshly added to the index
When "git fsck" reports a broken link (e.g. a tree object contains
a blob that does not exist), both containing object and the object
that is referred to were reported with their 40-hex object names.
The command learned the "--name-objects" option to show the path to
the containing object from existing refs (e.g. "HEAD~24^2:file.txt").
* js/fsck-name-object:
fsck: optionally show more helpful info for broken links
fsck: give the error function a chance to see the fsck_options
fsck_walk(): optionally name objects on the go
fsck: refactor how to describe objects
"git add -N dir/file && git write-tree" produced an incorrect tree
when there are other paths in the same directory that sorts after
"file".
* nd/cache-tree-ita:
cache-tree: do not generate empty trees as a result of all i-t-a subentries
cache-tree.c: fix i-t-a entry skipping directory updates sometimes
test-lib.sh: introduce and use $EMPTY_BLOB
test-lib.sh: introduce and use $EMPTY_TREE
* nd/test-helpers:
t/test-lib.sh: fix running tests with --valgrind
Makefile: use VCSSVN_LIB to refer to svn library
Makefile: drop extra dependencies for test helpers
Makefile assumed that -lrt is always available on platforms that
want to use clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, which is not a
case for recent Mac OS X. The necessary symbols are often found in
libc on many modern systems and having -lrt on the command line, as
long as the library exists, had no effect, but when the platform
removes librt.a that is a different matter--having -lrt will break
the linkage.
This change could be seen as a regression for those who do need to
specify -lrt, as they now specifically ask for NEEDS_LIBRT when
building. Hopefully they are in the minority these days.
* rw/make-needs-librt:
config.mak.uname: define NEEDS_LIBRT under Linux, for now
Makefile: add NEEDS_LIBRT to optionally link with librt
The API to iterate over all the refs (i.e. for_each_ref(), etc.)

for_each_reflog(): don't abort for bad references
do_for_each_ref(): reimplement using reference iteration
refs: introduce an iterator interface
ref_resolves_to_object(): new function
entry_resolves_to_object(): rename function from ref_resolves_to_object()
get_ref_cache(): only create an instance if there is a submodule

refs: use name "prefix" consistently
do_for_each_ref(): move docstring to the header file
