odb: handle changing a repository's commondir
The function `repo_set_gitdir()` is called in two situations:
- To initialize the repository with its discovered location. As part
of this we also set up the new object database.
- To update the repository's discovered location in case the process
changes its working directory so that we update relative paths. This
means we also have to update any relative paths that are potentially
used in the object database.
In the context of the object database we ideally wouldn't ever have to
worry about the second case: if all paths used by our object database
sources were absolute, then we wouldn't have to update them. But
unfortunately, the paths aren't only used to locate files owned by the
given source, but we also use them for reporting purposes. One such
example is `repo_get_object_directory()`, where we cannot just change
semantics to always return absolute paths, as that is likely to break
tooling out there.
One solution to this would be to have both a "display path" and an
"internal path". This would allow us to use internal paths for all
internal matters, but continue to use the potentially-relative display
paths so that we don't break compatibility. But converting the codebase
to honor this split is quite a messy endeavour, and it wouldn't even
help us with the goal to get rid of the need to update the display path
on chdir(3p).
Another solution would be to rework "setup.c" so that we never have to
update paths in the first place. In that case, we'd only initialize the
repository once we have figured out final locations for all directories.
This would be a significant simplification of that subsystem indeed, but
the current logic is so messy that it would take significant investments
to get there.
Meanwhile though, while object sources may still use relative paths, the
best thing we can do is to handle the reparenting of the object source
paths in the object database itself. This can be done by registering one
callback for each object database so that we get notified whenever the
current working directory changes, and we then perform the reparenting
ourselves.
Ideally, this wouldn't even happen on the object database level, but
instead handled by each object database source. But we don't yet have
proper pluggable object database sources, so this will need to be
handled at a later point in time.
The logic itself is rather simple:
- We register the callback when creating the object database.
- We unregister the callback when releasing it again.
- We split up `set_git_dir_1()` so that it becomes possible to skip
recreating the object database. This is required because the
function is called both when the current working directory changes,
but also when we set up the repository. Calling this function
without skipping creation of the ODB will result in a bug in case
it's already created.
