2016-04-01submodule--helper: do not borrow absolute_path() result for too longLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+4
absolute_path() is designed to allow its callers to take a brief peek of the result (typically, to be fed to functions like strbuf_add() and relative_path() as a parameter) without having to worry about freeing it, but the other side of the coin of that memory model is that the caller shouldn't rely too much on the result living forever--there may be a helper function the caller subsequently calls that makes its own call to absolute_path(), invalidating the earlier result. Use xstrdup() to make our own copy, and free(3) it when we are done. While at it, remove an unnecessary sm_gitdir_rel variable that was only used to as a parameter to call absolute_path() and never used again. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-03-31recursive submodules: test for relative pathsLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+41
"git submodule update --init --recursive" uses full path to refer to the true location of the repository in the "gitdir:" pointer for nested submodules; the command used to use relative paths. This was reported by Norio Nomura in $gmane/290280. The root cause for that bug is in using recursive submodules as their relative path handling was broken in ee8838d (2015-09-08, submodule: rewrite `module_clone` shell function in C).

2015-09-03submodule: rewrite `module_list` shell function in CLibravatar Stefan Beller6-48/+138
Most of the submodule operations work on a set of submodules. Calculating and using this set is usually done via: module_list "$@" | { while read mode sha1 stage sm_path do # the actual operation done } Currently the function `module_list` is implemented in the git-submodule.sh as a shell script wrapping a perl script. The rewrite is in C, such that it is faster and can later be easily adapted when other functions are rewritten in C. git-submodule.sh, similar to the builtin commands, will navigate to the top-most directory of the repository and keep the subdirectory as a variable. As the helper is called from within the git-submodule.sh script, we are already navigated to the root level, but the path arguments are still relative to the subdirectory we were in when calling git-submodule.sh. That's why there is a `--prefix` option pointing to an alternative path which to anchor relative path arguments.

2015-08-19submodule: implement a config API for lookup of .gitmodules valuesLibravatar Heiko Voigt9-0/+671
In a superproject some commands need to interact with submodules. They need to query values from the .gitmodules file either from the worktree of from certain revisions. At the moment this is quite hard since a caller would need to read the .gitmodules file from the history and then parse the values. We want to provide an API for this so we have one place to get values from .gitmodules from any revision (including the worktree). The API is realized as a cache which allows us to lazily read .gitmodules configurations by commit into a runtime cache which can then be used to easily lookup values from it. Currently only the values for path or name are stored but it can be extended for any value needed. It is expected that .gitmodules files do not change often between commits. Thats why we lookup the .gitmodules sha1 from a commit and then either lookup an already parsed configuration or parse and cache an unknown one for each sha1. The cache is lazily build on demand for each requested commit. This cache can be used for all purposes which need knowledge about submodule configurations. Example use cases are: * Recursive submodule checkout needs to lookup a submodule name from its path when a submodule first appears. This needs be done before this configuration exists in the worktree. * The implementation of submodule support for 'git archive' needs to lookup the submodule name to generate the archive when given a revision that is not checked out. * 'git fetch' when given the --recurse-submodules=on-demand option (or configuration) needs to lookup submodule names by path from the database rather than reading from the worktree. For new submodule it needs to lookup the name from its path to allow cloning new submodules into the .git folder so they can be checked out without any network interaction when the user does a checkout of that revision.

2015-08-10memoize common git-path "constant" filesLibravatar Jeff King17-119/+151
One of the most common uses of git_path() is to pass a constant, like git_path("MERGE_MSG"). This has two drawbacks: 1. The return value is a static buffer, and the lifetime is dependent on other calls to git_path, etc. 2. There's no compile-time checking of the pathname. This is OK for a one-off (after all, we have to spell it correctly at least once), but many of these constant strings appear throughout the code. This patch introduces a series of functions to "memoize" these strings, which are essentially globals for the lifetime of the program. We compute the value once, take ownership of the buffer, and return the cached value for subsequent calls. cache.h provides a helper macro for defining these functions as one-liners, and defines a few common ones for global use. Using a macro is a little bit gross, but it does nicely document the purpose of the functions. If we need to touch them all later (e.g., because we learned how to change the git_dir variable at runtime, and need to invalidate all of the stored values), it will be much easier to have the complete list. Note that the shared-global functions have separate, manual declarations. We could do something clever with the macros (e.g., expand it to a declaration in some places, and a declaration _and_ a definition in path.c). But there aren't that many, and it's probably better to stay away from too-magical macros. Likewise, if we abandon the C preprocessor in favor of generating these with a script, we could get much fancier. E.g., normalizing "FOO/BAR-BAZ" into "git_path_foo_bar_baz". But the small amount of saved typing is probably not worth the resulting confusion to readers who want to grep for the function's definition.

2015-08-10get_repo_path: refactor path-allocationLibravatar Jeff King1-14/+29
The get_repo_path function calls mkpath() and then does some non-trivial operations on it, like calling is_git_directory() and read_gitfile(). These are actually OK (they do not use more pathname static buffers themselves), but it takes a fair bit of work to verify. Let's use our own strbuf to store the path, and we can simply reuse it for each iteration of the loop (we can even avoid rewriting the beginning part, since we are trying a series of suffixes). To make the strbuf cleanup easier, we split out a thin wrapper. As a bonus, this wrapper can factor out the canonicalization that happens in all of the early-return code paths.

2015-08-10find_hook: keep our own static bufferLibravatar Jeff King2-4/+11
The find_hook function returns the results of git_path, which is a static buffer shared by other path-related calls. Returning such a buffer is slightly dangerous, because it can be overwritten by seemingly unrelated functions. Let's at least keep our _own_ static buffer, so you can only get in trouble by calling find_hook in quick succession, which is less likely to happen and more obvious to notice. While we're at it, let's add some documentation of the function's limitations. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-08-10refs.c: remove_empty_directories can take a strbufLibravatar Jeff King1-19/+15
The first thing we do in this function is copy the input into a strbuf. Of the 4 callers, 3 of them already have a strbuf we could use. Let's just take the strbuf, and convert the remaining caller to use a strbuf, rather than a raw git_path. This is safer, anyway, as remove_dir_recursively is a non-trivial function that might use the pathname buffers itself (this is _probably_ OK, as the likely culprit would be calling resolve_gitlink_ref, but we do not pass the proper flags to ask it to avoid blowing away gitlinks).

2015-08-10refs.c: avoid git_path assignment in lock_ref_sha1_basicLibravatar Jeff King1-13/+19
Assigning the result of git_path is a bad pattern, because it's not immediately obvious how long you expect the content to stay valid (and it may be overwritten by subsequent calls). Let's use a function-local strbuf here instead, which we know is safe (we just have to remember to free it in all code paths).

2015-08-10refs.c: avoid repeated git_path calls in rename_tmp_logLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+14

2015-08-10refs.c: simplify strbufs in reflog setup and writingLibravatar Jeff King1-23/+15
Commit 1a83c24 (git_snpath(): retire and replace with strbuf_git_path(), 2014-11-30) taught log_ref_setup and log_ref_write_1 to take a strbuf parameter, rather than a bare string. It then makes an alias to the strbuf's "buf" field under the original name. This made the original diff much shorter, but the resulting code is more complicated that it needs to be. Since we've aliased the pointer, we drop our reference to the strbuf to ensure we don't accidentally change it. But if we simply drop our alias and use "logfile.buf" directly, we do not have to worry about this aliasing. It's a larger diff, but the resulting code is simpler.

2015-08-10refs.c: remove extra git_path calls from read_loose_refsLibravatar Jeff King1-10/+13
In iterating over the loose refs in "refs/foo/", we keep a running strbuf with "refs/foo/one", "refs/foo/two", etc. But we also need to access these files in the filesystem, as ".git/refs/foo/one", etc. For this latter purpose, we make a series of independent calls to git_path(). These are safe (we only use the result to call stat()), but assigning the result of git_path is a suspicious pattern that we'd rather avoid. This patch keeps a running buffer with ".git/refs/foo/", and we can just append/reset each directory element as we loop. This matches how we handle the refnames. It should also be more efficient, as we do not keep formatting the same ".git/refs/foo" prefix (which can be arbitrarily deep). Technically we are dropping a call to strbuf_cleanup() on each generated filename, but that's OK; it wasn't doing anything, as we are putting in single-level names we read from the filesystem (so it could not possibly be cleaning up cruft like "./" in this instance). A clever reader may also note that the running refname buffer ("refs/foo/") is actually a subset of the filesystem path buffer (".git/refs/foo/"). We could get by with one buffer, indexing the length of $GIT_DIR when we want the refname. However, having tried this, the resulting code actually ends up a little more confusing, and the efficiency improvement is tiny (and almost certainly dwarfed by the system calls we are making).

2015-08-10remote.c: drop extraneous local variable from migrate_fileLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+2
It's an anti-pattern to assign the result of git_path to a variable, since other calls may reuse our buffer. In this case, we feed the result to unlink_or_warn immediately afterwards, so it's OK. However, it's nice to avoid assignment entirely, which makes it more obvious that there's no bug. We can just pass the result directly to unlink_or_warn, which is a known-simple function. As a bonus, the code flow is a little more obvious, as we eliminate an extra conditional (a reader does not have to wonder any more "under which circumstances is 'path' set?").

2015-08-10prefer mkpathdup to mkpath in assignmentsLibravatar Jeff King2-13/+17
As with the previous commit to git_path, assigning the result of mkpath is suspicious, since it is not clear whether we will still depend on the value after it may have been overwritten by subsequent calls. This patch converts low-hanging fruit to use mkpathdup instead of mkpath (with the downside that we must remember to free the result).

2015-08-10prefer git_pathdup to git_path in some possibly-dangerous casesLibravatar Jeff King6-11/+21
Because git_path uses a static buffer that is shared with calls to git_path, mkpath, etc, it can be dangerous to assign the result to a variable or pass it to a non-trivial function. The value may change unexpectedly due to other calls. None of the cases changed here has a known bug, but they're worth converting away from git_path because: 1. It's easy to use git_pathdup in these cases. 2. They use constructs (like assignment) that make it hard to tell whether they're safe or not. The extra malloc overhead should be trivial, as an allocation should be an order of magnitude cheaper than a system call (which we are clearly about to make, since we are constructing a filename). The real cost is that we must remember to free the result. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-08-10add_to_alternates_file: don't add duplicate entriesLibravatar Jeff King2-7/+45
The add_to_alternates_file function blindly uses hold_lock_file_for_append to copy the existing contents, and then adds the new line to it. This has two minor problems: 1. We might add duplicate entries, which are ugly and inefficient. 2. We do not check that the file ends with a newline, in which case we would bogusly append to the final line. This is quite unlikely in practice, though, as we call this function only from git-clone, so presumably we are the only writers of the file (and we always add a newline). Instead of using hold_lock_file_for_append, let's copy the file line by line, which ensures all records are properly terminated. If we see an extra line, we can simply abort the update (there is no point in even copying the rest, as we know that it would be identical to the original). As a bonus, we also get rid of some calls to the static-buffer mkpath and git_path functions. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The git_path function has "git_pathdup" and "strbuf_git_path" variants, but git_submodule_path only comes in the dangerous, static-buffer variant.

Let's also make sure to point out their safer alternatives (and move those alternatives below, which makes more sense when reading the file). Note that we do not need to move the existing comment to sha1_file_name.

This caused fast-import to forget the tree of the previous commit and then re-read it from scratch, which was inefficient. Optimize for this common case. * mh/fast-import-optimize-current-from: fast-import: do less work when given "from" matches current branch head
2015-08-03Merge branch 'kn/tag-doc-fix'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
* kn/tag-doc-fix: Documentation/tag: remove double occurance of "<pattern>"
2015-08-03Merge branch 'mh/fast-import-get-mark'Libravatar Junio C Hamano3-10/+75
"git fast-import" learned to respond to the get-mark command via its cat-blob-fd interface. * mh/fast-import-get-mark: fast-import: add a get-mark command
2015-08-03Merge branch 'gr/rebase-i-drop-warn'Libravatar Junio C Hamano5-6/+338
Add "drop commit-object-name subject" command as another way to skip replaying of a commit in "rebase -i", and then punish those who do not use it (and instead just remove the lines) by throwing a warning. * gr/rebase-i-drop-warn: git rebase -i: add static check for commands and SHA-1 git rebase -i: warn about removed commits git-rebase -i: add command "drop" to remove a commit
