[PATCH] http-push: fix webdav lock leak.

From: Grégoire Barbier <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:44:06
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Releasing webdav lock even if push fails because of bad (or no) reference
on command line.

To reproduce the issue that this patch fixes, you need a test git repository
availlable over http+webdav, let's say at http://myhost/myrepo.git/
Then, you do this:
$ git clone http://myhost/myrepo.git/
$ cd myrepo
$ git push http
Fetching remote heads...
  refs/
  refs/heads/
  refs/tags/
No refs in common and none specified; doing nothing.
$ git push http
Fetching remote heads...
  refs/
  refs/heads/
  refs/tags/
No refs in common and none specified; doing nothing.
$

Finally, you look at the web server logs, and will find one LOCK query and no
UNLOCK query, of course the second one will be in 423 return code instead of
200:
1.2.3.4 - gb [19/Jan/2008:14:24:56 +0100] "LOCK /myrepo.git/info/refs HTTP/1.1" 200 465
(...)
1.2.3.4 - gb [19/Jan/2008:14:25:10 +0100] "LOCK /myrepo.git/info/refs HTTP/1.1" 423 363

With this patch, there would have be two UNLOCKs in addition of the LOCKs

From the user point of view:
- If you realize that you should have typed e.g. "git push http master"
instead of "git push http", you will have to wait for 10 minutes for the lock
to expire by its own.
- Furthermore, if somebody else is dumb enough to type "git push http" while
you need to push "master" branch, then you'll need too to wait for 10 minutes
too.
