2005-12-21objects/info/packs: work around bug in http-fetch.c::fetch_indices()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
The code to fetch pack index files in deployed clients have a bug that causes it to ignore the pack file on the last line of objects/info/packs file, so append an empty line to work it around. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-12-20Make "git-send-pack" less verbose by defaultLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+9
It used to make sense to have git-send-pack talk about the things it sent when (a) it was a new program and (b) nobody had a lot of tags and branches. These days, it's just distracting to see tons of 'refs/tags/xyz': up-to-date ... when updating a remote repo. So shut it up by default, and add a "--verbose" flag for those who really want to see it. Also, since this makes he case of everything being up-to-date just totally silent, make it say "Everything up-to-date" if no refs needed updating.

2005-12-20Racy GIT (part #2)Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-5/+44
The previous round caught the most trivial case well, but broke down once index file is updated again. Smudge problematic entries (they should be very few if any under normal interactive workflow) before writing a new index file out. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-12-20Racy GITLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-54/+110
This fixes the longstanding "Racy GIT" problem, which was pretty much there from the beginning of time, but was first demonstrated by Pasky in this message on October 24, 2005: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=113014629716878 If you run the following sequence of commands: echo frotz >infocom git update-index --add infocom echo xyzzy >infocom so that the second update to file "infocom" does not change st_mtime, what is recorded as the stat information for the cache entry "infocom" exactly matches what is on the filesystem (owner, group, inum, mtime, ctime, mode, length). After this sequence, we incorrectly think "infocom" file still has string "frotz" in it, and get really confused. E.g. git-diff-files would say there is no change, git-update-index --refresh would not even look at the filesystem to correct the situation. Some ways of working around this issue were already suggested by Linus in the same thread on the same day, including waiting until the next second before returning from update-index if a cache entry written out has the current timestamp, but that means we can make at most one commit per second, and given that the e-mail patch workflow used by Linus needs to process at least 5 commits per second, it is not an acceptable solution. Linus notes that git-apply is primarily used to update the index while processing e-mailed patches, which is true, and git-apply's up-to-date check is fooled by the same problem but luckily in the other direction, so it is not really a big issue, but still it is disturbing. The function ce_match_stat() is called to bypass the comparison against filesystem data when the stat data recorded in the cache entry matches what stat() returns from the filesystem. This patch tackles the problem by changing it to actually go to the filesystem data for cache entries that have the same mtime as the index file itself. This works as long as the index file and working tree files are on the filesystems that share the same monotonic clock. Files on network mounted filesystems sometimes get skewed timestamps compared to "date" output, but as long as working tree files' timestamps are skewed the same way as the index file's, this approach still works. The only problematic files are the ones that have the same timestamp as the index file's, because two file updates that sandwitch the index file update must happen within the same second to trigger the problem.

2005-12-19format-patch: make sure header and body are separated.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
Since log message in a commit object is defined to be binary blob, it could be something without an empty line between the title line and the body text. Be careful to format such into a form suitable for e-mail submission. There must be an empty line between the headers and the body. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-12-18Make "git help" sort git commands in columnsLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-9/+12
This changes "pretty_print_string_list()" to show the git commands alphabetically in column order, which is the normal one. Ie instead of doing git commands available in '/home/torvalds/bin' ---------------------------------------------- add am ... applypatch archimport ... cat-file check-ref-format ... ... it does git commands available in '/home/torvalds/bin' ---------------------------------------------- add diff-tree ... am fetch ... apply fetch-pack ... ... where each column is sorted. This is how "ls" sorts things too, and since visually the columns are much more distinct than the rows, so it _looks_ more sorted. The "ls" command has a "-x" option that lists entries by lines (the way git.c used to): if somebody wants to do that, the new print-out logic could be easily accomodated to that too. Matter of taste and preference, I guess. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Currently the git "show commands" function will react to the environment variable COLUMNS, or just default to a width of 80 characters. That's just soo eighties.

2005-12-17fetch-pack: -k option to keep downloaded pack.Libravatar Junio C Hamano6-173/+206
Split out the functions that deal with the socketpair after finishing git protocol handshake to receive the packed data into a separate file, and use it in fetch-pack to keep/explode the received pack data. We earlier had something like that on clone-pack side once, but the list discussion resulted in the decision that it makes sense to always keep the pack for clone-pack, so unpacking option is not enabled on the clone-pack side, but we later still could do so easily if we wanted to with this change.

2005-12-17Remove misguided branch disambiguation.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-30/+3
This removes the misguided attempt to refuse processing a branch name xyzzy and insist it to be given as either heads/xyzzy or tags/xyzzy when a tag xyzzy exists. There was no reason to do so --- the search order was predictable and well defined, so if the user says xyzzy we should have taken the tag xyzzy in such a case without complaining. This incidentally fixes another subtle bug related to this. If such a duplicate branch/tag name happened to be a unique valid prefix of an existing commit object name (say, "beef"), we did not take the tag "beef" but after complaining used the commit object whose name started with beef. Another problem this fixes while introducing some confusion is that there is no longer a reason to forbid a branch name HEAD anymore. In other words, now "git pull . ref1:HEAD" would work as expected, once we revert "We do not like HEAD branch" patch. It creates "HEAD" branch under ${GIT_DIR-.git}/refs/heads (or fast-forwards if already exists) using the tip of ref1 branch from the current repository, and merges it into the current branch.

2005-12-16Fix git-am --skipLibravatar Jan Harkes1-0/+2
git-am --skip does not unpack the next patch and ends up reapplying the old patch, believing that it is the new patch in the sequence. If the old patch applied successfully it will commit it with the supposedly skipped log message and ends up dropping the following patch. If the patch did not apply the user is left with the conflict he tried to skip and has to unpack the next patch in the sequence by hand to get git-am back on track. By clearing the resume variable whenever skips bumps the sequence counter we correctly unpack the next patch. I also added another resume= in the case a patch file is missing from the sequence to avoid the same problem when a file in the sequence was removed.

2005-12-15get_sha1_basic(): corner case ambiguity fixLibravatar Junio C Hamano3-9/+75
When .git/refs/heads/frotz and .git/refs/tags/frotz existed, and the object name stored in .git/refs/heads/frotz were corrupt, we ended up picking tags/frotz without complaining. Worse yet, if the corrupt .git/refs/heads/frotz was more than 40 bytes and began with hexadecimal characters, it silently overwritten the initial part of the returned result. This commit adds a couple of tests to demonstrate these cases, with a fix. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-12-14clone-pack: make it usable for partial branch cloning.Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-3/+16
clone-pack had some logic to accept subset of remote refs from the command line and clone from there. However, it was never used in practice and its problems were not found out so far. This commit changes the command to output the object names of refs to the standard output instead of making a clone of the remote repository when explicit <head> parameters are given; the output format is the same as fetch-pack. The traditional behaviour of cloning the whole repository by giving no explicit <head> parameters stays the same. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
