Karthik Nayak ef73355076 fetch: delay user information post committing of transaction
In Git 2.50 and earlier, we would display failure codes and error
message as part of the status display:

  $ git fetch . v1.0.0:refs/heads/foo
    error: cannot update ref 'refs/heads/foo': trying to write non-commit object f665776185ad074b236c00751d666da7d1977dbe to branch 'refs/heads/foo'
    From .
     ! [new tag]               v1.0.0     -> foo  (unable to update local ref)

With the addition of batched updates, this information is no longer
shown to the user:

  $ git fetch . v1.0.0:refs/heads/foo
    From .
     * [new tag]               v1.0.0     -> foo
    error: cannot update ref 'refs/heads/foo': trying to write non-commit object f665776185ad074b236c00751d666da7d1977dbe to branch 'refs/heads/foo'

Since reference updates are batched and processed together at the end,
information around the outcome is not available during individual
reference parsing.

To overcome this, collate and delay the output to the end. Introduce
`ref_update_display_info` which will hold individual update's
information and also whether the update failed or succeeded. This
finally allows us to iterate over all such updates and print them to the
user. While this brings back the functionality, it does change the order
of the output. Modify the tests to reflect this.

Using an strmap does add some overhead to 'git-fetch(1)', but from
benchmarking this seems to be not too bad:

  Benchmark 1: fetch: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 1000, revision = master)
    Time (mean ± σ):      51.9 ms ±   2.5 ms    [User: 15.6 ms, System: 36.9 ms]
    Range (min … max):    47.4 ms …  58.3 ms    41 runs

  Benchmark 2: fetch: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 1000, revision = HEAD)
    Time (mean ± σ):      53.0 ms ±   1.8 ms    [User: 17.6 ms, System: 36.0 ms]
    Range (min … max):    49.4 ms …  57.6 ms    40 runs

  Summary
    fetch: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 1000, revision = master) ran
      1.02 ± 0.06 times faster than fetch: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 1000, revision = HEAD)

Another approach would be to move the status printing logic to be
handled post the transaction being committed. That however would require
adding an iterator to the ref transaction that tracks both the outcome
(success/failure) and the original refspec information for each update,
which is more involved infrastructure work compared to the strmap
approach here.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.adoc to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.adoc for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.adoc for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.adoc (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
