save-push-signatures: use refs/meta/push-certs instead of refs/push-certs
Historically, this hook put the certs in a ref named refs/push-certs. However, git does *NOT* replicate single-level refs, and this meant that gitolite mirroring did not replicate the push-certs! Trying to push them explicitly causes this error: ``` remote: error: refusing to create funny ref 'refs/push-certs' remotely ``` Upstream Git has good reasons as to why not to replicate single-level refs: https://lore.kernel.org/git/robbat2-20211115T063838-612792475Z@orbis-terrarum.net/ As a good-enough solution, use the namespace of meta/ for the refs. This is already used in other systems: - kernel.org refs/meta/cgit - gerrit refs/meta/config - GitBlit reflog: refs/meta/gitblit https://www.gitblit.com/administration.html#H12 - cc-utils refs/meta/ci - JGit refs/meta/push-certs https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/radfws/9.6.1?topic=SSRTLW_9.6.1/org.eclipse.egit.doc/help/JGit/New_and_Noteworthy/4.1/4.1.htm To migrate from old to new, for each repo, you must explicitly run: git update-ref refs/meta/push-certs refs/push-certs Then the hook will populate both refs. You can remove the old ref after that: git update-ref -d refs/push-certs Signed-off-by: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org>
