2016-09-08Merge branch 'bw/mingw-avoid-inheriting-fd-to-lockfile' into maintLibravatar Junio C Hamano6-1/+35
The tempfile (hence its user lockfile) API lets the caller to open a file descriptor to a temporary file, write into it and then finalize it by first closing the filehandle and then either removing or renaming the temporary file. When the process spawns a subprocess after obtaining the file descriptor, and if the subprocess has not exited when the attempt to remove or rename is made, the last step fails on Windows, because the subprocess has the file descriptor still open. Open tempfile with O_CLOEXEC flag to avoid this (on Windows, this is mapped to O_NOINHERIT). * bw/mingw-avoid-inheriting-fd-to-lockfile: mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited by child processes t6026-merge-attr: child processes must not inherit index.lock handles

"git difftool" by default ignores the error exit from the backend commands it spawns, because often they signal that they found differences by exiting with a non-zero status code just like "diff" does; the exit status codes 126 and above however are special in that they are used to signal that the command is not executable, does not exist, or killed by a signal.

2016-08-23mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited by child processesLibravatar Ben Wijen6-2/+23
When the index is locked and child processes inherit the handle to said lock and the parent process wants to remove the lock before the child process exits, on Windows there is a problem: it won't work because files cannot be deleted if a process holds a handle on them. The symptom: Rename from 'xxx/.git/index.lock' to 'xxx/.git/index' failed. Should I try again? (y/n) Spawning child processes with bInheritHandles==FALSE would not work because no file handles would be inherited, not even the hStdXxx handles in STARTUPINFO (stdin/stdout/stderr). Opening every file with O_NOINHERIT does not work, either, as e.g. git-upload-pack expects inherited file handles. This leaves us with the only way out: creating temp files with the O_NOINHERIT flag. This flag is Windows-specific, however. For our purposes, it is equivalent to O_CLOEXEC (which does not exist on Windows), so let's just open temporary files with the O_CLOEXEC flag and map that flag to O_NOINHERIT on Windows. As Eric Wong pointed out, we need to be careful to handle the case where the Linux headers used to compile Git support O_CLOEXEC but the Linux kernel used to run Git does not: it returns an EINVAL. This fixes the test that we just introduced to demonstrate the problem.

2016-08-19Revert "display HTML in default browser using Windows' shell API"Libravatar Johannes Schindelin3-52/+0
Since 4804aab (help (Windows): Display HTML in default browser using Windows' shell API, 2008-07-13), Git for Windows used to call `ShellExecute()` to launch the default Windows handler for `.html` files. The idea was to avoid going through a shell script, for performance reasons. However, this change ignores the `help.browser` config setting. Together with browsing help not being a performance-critical operation, let's just revert that patch.

2016-08-18t6026-merge-attr: child processes must not inherit index.lock handlesLibravatar Ben Wijen1-0/+13
On Windows, a file cannot be removed unless all file handles to it have been released. Hence it is particularly important to close handles when spawning children (which would probably not even know that they hold on to those handles). The example chosen for this test is a custom merge driver that indeed has no idea that it blocks the deletion of index.lock. The full use case is a daemon that lives on after the merge, with subsequent invocations handing off to the daemon, thereby avoiding hefty start-up costs. We simulate this behavior by simply sleeping one second. Note that the test only fails on Windows, due to the file locking issue. Since we have no way to say "expect failure with MINGW, success otherwise", we simply skip this test on Windows for now.

2016-08-16t/Makefile: ensure that paths are valid on platforms we careLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+10
Some pathnames that are okay on ext4 and on HFS+ cannot be checked out on Windows. Tests that want to see operations on such paths on filesystems that support them must do so behind appropriate test prerequisites, and must not include them in the source tree (instead they should create them when they run). Otherwise, the source tree cannot even be checked out. Make sure that double-quotes, asterisk, colon, greater/less-than, question-mark, backslash, tab, vertical-bar, as well as any non-ASCII characters never appear in the pathnames with a new test-lint-* target as part of a `make test`. To that end, we call `git ls-files` (ensuring that the paths are quoted properly), relying on the fact that paths containing non-ASCII characters are quoted within double-quotes. In case that the source code does not actually live in a Git repository (e.g. when extracted from a .zip file), or that the `git` executable cannot be executed, we simply ignore the error for now; In that case, our trusty Continuous Integration will be the last line of defense and catch any problematic file name. Noticed when a topic wanted to add a pathname with '>' in it. A check like this will prevent a similar problems from happening in the future.

2016-08-15difftool: always honor fatal error exit codesLibravatar John Keeping2-0/+13
At the moment difftool's "trust exit code" logic always suppresses the exit status of the diff utility we invoke. This is useful because we don't want to exit just because diff returned "1" because the files differ, but it's confusing if the shell returns an error because the selected diff utility is not found. POSIX specifies 127 as the exit status for "command not found", 126 for "command found but is not executable" and values greater than 128 if the command terminated because it received a signal [1] and at least bash and dash follow this specification, while diff utilities generally use "1" for the exit status we want to ignore. Handle any value of 126 or greater as a special value indicating that some form of fatal error occurred.

2016-08-13merge-recursive: fix verbose output for multiple base treesLibravatar René Scharfe2-4/+19
One of the indirect callers of make_virtual_commit() passes the result of oid_to_hex() as the name, i.e. a pointer to a static buffer. Since the function uses that string pointer directly in building a struct merge_remote_desc, multiple entries can end up sharing the same name inadvertently. Fix that by calling set_merge_remote_desc(), which creates a copy of the string, instead of building the struct by hand.
