2012-07-26t7502: test early quit from commit with bad identLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+17
In commit f20f387, "git commit" notices and dies much earlier when we have a bogus commit identity. That commit did not add a test because we cannot do so reliably (namely, we can only trigger the behavior on a system where the automatically generated identity is bogus). However, now that we have a prerequisite check for this feature, we can add a test that will at least run on systems that produce such a bogus identity.

2012-07-26t7502: handle systems where auto-identity is brokenLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+10
Test t7502.21 checks whether we write the committer name into COMMIT_EDITMSG when it has been automatically determined. However, not all systems can produce valid automatic identities. Prior to f20f387 (commit: check committer identity more strictly), this test worked even when we did not have a valid automatic identity, since it did not run the strict test until after we had generated the template. That commit tightened the check to fail early (since we would fail later, anyway), meaning that systems without a valid GECOS name or hostname would fail the test. We cannot just work around this, because it depends on configuration outside the control of the test script. Therefore we introduce a new test_prerequisite to run this test only on systems where automatic ident works at all. As a result, we can drop the confusing test_must_fail bit from the test. The intent was that by giving "git commit" invalid input (namely, nothing to commit), that it would stop at a predictable point, whether we had a valid identity or not, from which we could view the contents of COMMIT_EDITMSG. Since that assumption no longer holds, and we can only run the test when we have a valid identity, there is no reason not to let commit run to completion. That lets us be more robust to other unforeseen failures. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-07-26t7502: drop confusing test_might_fail callLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
In t7502.20, we run "git commit" and check that it warns us that the author and committer identity are not the same (this is always the case in the test environment, since we set up the idents differently). Instead of actually making a commit, we have a clean index, so the "git commit" we run will fail. This is marked as might_fail, which is not really correct; it will always fail since there is nothing to commit. However, the only reason not to do a complete commit would be to see the intermediate state of the COMMIT_EDITMSG file when the commit is not completed. We don't need to care about this, though; even a complete commit will leave COMMIT_EDITMSG for us to view. By doing a real commit and dropping the might_fail, we are more robust against other unforeseen failures of "git commit" that might influence our test result. It might seem less robust to depend on the fact that "git commit" leaves COMMIT_EDITMSG in place after a successful commit. However, that brings this test in line with others parts of the script, which make the same assumption. Furthermore, if that ever does change, the right solution is not to prevent commit from completing, but to set EDITOR to a script that will record the contents we see. After all, the point of these tests is to check what the user sees in their EDITOR, so that would be the most direct test. For now, though, we can continue to use the "shortcut" that COMMIT_EDITMSG is left intact. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

t7502.20 and t7502.21 check that the author and committer name are mentioned in the commit message template under certain circumstances. However, they end up checking a much larger and unnecessary portion of the template. Let's narrow their checks to the specific lines.

2012-07-26t7502: properly quote GIT_EDITORLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
One of the tests tries to ensure that editor is not run due to an early failure. However, it needs to quote the pathname of the trash directory used in $GIT_EDITOR, since git will pass it along to the shell. In other words, the test would pass whether the code was correct or not, since the unquoted editor specification would never run. We never noticed the problem because the code is indeed correct, so git-commit never even tried to run the editor.

2012-07-26t7502: clean up fake_editor testsLibravatar Jeff King1-13/+7
Using write_script saves us a few lines of code, and means we consistently use $SHELL_PATH. We can also drop the setting of the $pwd variable from $(pwd). In the first instance, there is no reason to use it (we can just use $(pwd) directly two lines later, since we are interpolating the here-document). In the second instance, it is totally pointless and probably just a cut-and-paste from the first instance. Finally, we can use a non-interpolating here document for the final script, which saves some quoting. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-07-25checkout: don't confuse ref and object flagsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
When we are leaving a detached HEAD, we do a revision traversal to check whether we are orphaning any commits, marking the commit we're leaving as the start of the traversal, and all existing refs as uninteresting. Prior to commit 468224e5, we did so by calling for_each_ref, and feeding each resulting refname to setup_revisions. Commit 468224e5 refactored this to simply mark the pending objects, saving an extra lookup. However, it confused the "flags" parameter to the each_ref_fn clalback, which is about the flags we found while looking up the ref with the object flag. Because REF_ISSYMREF ("this ref is a symbolic ref, e.g. refs/remotes/origin/HEAD") happens to be the same bit pattern as SEEN ("we have picked this object up from the pending list and moved it to revs.commits list"), we incorrectly reported that a commit previously at the detached HEAD will become unreachable if the only ref that can reach the commit happens to be pointed at by a symbolic ref.

2012-07-25git-submodule: work with GIT_DIR/GIT_WORK_TREELibravatar Daniel Graña2-2/+66
The combination of GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE can be used to manage files in one directory hierarchy while keeping the repository that keeps track of them outside the directory hierarchy. For example: git init --bare /path/to/there alias dotfiles="GIT_DIR=/path/to/there GIT_WORK_TREE=/path/to/here git" cd /path/to/here dotfiles add file dotfiles commit -a -m "add /path/to/here/file" ... lets you manage files under /path/to/here/ in the repository located at /path/to/there. git-submodule however fails to add submodules, as it is confused by GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE environment variables when it tries to work in the submodule, like so: dotfiles submodule add http://path.to/submodule fatal: working tree '/path/to/here' already exists. Simply unsetting the environment where the command works on the submodule is sufficient to fix this, as it has set things up so that GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE do not even have to point at the repository and the working tree of the submodule.

2012-07-24t/lib-httpd: handle running under --valgrindLibravatar Jeff King2-1/+8
Running the http tests with valgrind does not work for two reasons: 1. Apache complains about following the symbolic link from git-http-backend to valgrind.sh. 2. Apache does not pass through the GIT_VALGRIND variable to the backend CGI. This patch fixes both problems. Unfortunately, there is a slight hack we need to handle passing environment variables through Apache. If we just tell it: PassEnv GIT_VALGRIND then Apache will complain when GIT_VALGRIND is not set. If we try: SetEnv GIT_VALGRIND ${GIT_VALGRIND} then when GIT_VALGRIND is not set, it will pass through the literal "${GIT_VALGRIND}". Instead, we now unconditionally pass through GIT_VALGRIND from lib-httpd.sh into apache, even if it is empty.

2012-07-23commit: check committer identity more strictlyLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The identity of the committer will ultimately be pulled from the ident code by commit_tree(). However, we make an attempt to check the author and committer identity early, before the user has done any manual work like inputting a commit message. That lets us abort without them having to worry about salvaging the work from .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG. The early check for committer ident does not use the IDENT_STRICT flag, meaning that it would not find an empty name field. The motivation was presumably because we did not want to be too restrictive, as later calls might be more lax (for example, when we create the reflog entry, we do not care too much about a real name). However, because commit_tree will always get a strict identity to put in the commit object itself, there is no point in being lax only to die later (and in fact it is harmful, because the user will have wasted time typing their commit message). Incidentally, this bug was masked prior to 060d4bb, as the initial loose call would taint the later strict call. So the commit would succeed (albeit with a bogus committer line in the commit object), and nobody noticed that our early check did not match the later one.

Now it uses those on some arches but the default behavior is byte-at-a-time access for the sake of arches like ARM, Alpha, and their kin and it is still pretty fast on these arches (fast enough to supersede the mozilla SHA1 implementation and the hand-written ARM assembler implementation that were bundled before).

2012-07-22block-sha1: avoid pointer conversion that violates alignment constraintsLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-3/+3
With 660231aa (block-sha1: support for architectures with memory alignment restrictions, 2009-08-12), blk_SHA1_Update was modified to access 32-bit chunks of memory one byte at a time on arches that prefer that: #define get_be32(p) ( \ (*((unsigned char *)(p) + 0) << 24) | \ (*((unsigned char *)(p) + 1) << 16) | \ (*((unsigned char *)(p) + 2) << 8) | \ (*((unsigned char *)(p) + 3) << 0) ) The code previously accessed these values by just using htonl(*p). Unfortunately, Michael noticed on an Alpha machine that git was using plain 32-bit reads anyway. As soon as we convert a pointer to int *, the compiler can assume that the object pointed to is correctly aligned as an int (C99 section 6.3.2.3 "pointer conversions" paragraph 7), and gcc takes full advantage by using a single 32-bit load, resulting in a whole bunch of unaligned access traps. So we need to obey the alignment constraints even when only dealing with pointers instead of actual values. Do so by changing the type of 'data' to void *. This patch renames 'data' to 'block' at the same time to make sure all references are updated to reflect the new type.
