2012-02-17config: stop using config_exclusive_filenameLibravatar Jeff King2-24/+60
The git-config command sometimes operates on the default set of config files (either reading from all, or writing to repo config), and sometimes operates on a specific file. In the latter case, we set the magic global config_exclusive_filename, and the code in config.c does the right thing. Instead, let's have git-config use the "advanced" variants of config.c's functions which let it specify an individual filename (or NULL for the default). This makes the code a lot more obvious, and fixes two small bugs: 1. A relative path specified by GIT_CONFIG=foo will look in the wrong directory if we have to chdir as part of repository setup. We already handle this properly for "git config -f foo", but the GIT_CONFIG lookup used config_exclusive_filename directly. By dropping to a single magic variable, the GIT_CONFIG case now just works. 2. Calling "git config -f foo --edit" would not respect core.editor. This is because just before editing, we called git_config, which would respect the config_exclusive_filename setting, even though this particular git_config call was not about looking in the user's specified file, but rather about loading actual git config, just as any other git program would.

2012-02-17config: provide a version of git_config with more optionsLibravatar Jeff King3-4/+27
Callers may want to provide a specific version of a file in which to look for config. Right now this can be done by setting the magic global config_exclusive_filename variable. By providing a version of git_config that takes a filename, we can take a step towards making this magic global go away. Furthermore, by providing a more "advanced" interface, we now have a a natural place to add new options for callers like git-config, which care about tweaking the specifics of config lookup, without disturbing the large number of "simple" users (i.e., every other part of git). The astute reader of this patch may notice that the logic for handling config_exclusive_filename was taken out of git_config_early, but added into git_config. This means that git_config_early will no longer respect config_exclusive_filename. That's OK, because the only other caller of git_config_early is check_repository_format_gently, but the only function which sets config_exclusive_filename is cmd_config, which does not call check_repository_format_gently (and if it did, it would have been a bug, anyway, as we would be checking the repository format in the wrong file).

2012-02-17config: teach git_config_rename_section a file argumentLibravatar Jeff King2-7/+14
The other config-writing functions (git_config_set and git_config_set_multivar) each have an -"in_file" version to write a specific file. Let's add one for rename_section, with the eventual goal of moving away from the magic config_exclusive_filename global.

2012-02-17config: teach git_config_set_multivar_in_file a default pathLibravatar Jeff King1-13/+7
The git_config_set_multivar_in_file function takes a filename argument to specify the file into which the values should be written. Currently, this value must be non-NULL. Callers which want to write to the default location must use the regular, non-"in_file" version, which will either write to config_exclusive_filename, or to the repo config if the exclusive filename is NULL. Let's migrate the "default to using repo config" logic into the "in_file" form. That will let callers get the same default-if-NULL behavior as one gets with config_exclusive_filename, but without having to use the global variable.

2012-02-17config: copy the return value of prefix_filenameLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+4
The prefix_filename function returns a pointer to a static buffer which may be overwritten by subsequent calls. Since we are going to keep the result around for a while, let's be sure to duplicate it for safety. I don't think this can be triggered as a bug in the current code, but it's a good idea to be defensive, as any resulting bug would be quite subtle.

2012-01-26git-completion: workaround zsh COMPREPLY bugLibravatar Felipe Contreras1-0/+8
zsh adds a backslash (foo\ ) for each item in the COMPREPLY array if IFS doesn't contain spaces. This issue has been reported[1], but there is no solution yet. This wasn't a problem due to another bug[2], which was fixed in zsh version 4.3.12. After this change, 'git checkout ma<tab>' would resolve to 'git checkout master\ '. Aditionally, the introduction of __gitcomp_nl in commit a31e626 (completion: optimize refs completion) in git also made the problem apparent, as Matthieu Moy reported. The simplest and most generic solution is to hide all the changes we do to IFS, so that "foo \nbar " is recognized by zsh as "foo bar". This works on versions of git before and after the introduction of __gitcomp_nl (a31e626), and versions of zsh before and after 4.3.12. Once zsh is fixed, we should conditionally disable this workaround to have the same benefits as bash users.

2012-01-18diff-index: enable recursive pathspec matching in unpack_treesLibravatar Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy2-0/+10
The pathspec structure has a few bits of data to drive various operation modes after we unified the pathspec matching logic in various codepaths. For example, max_depth field is there so that "git grep" can limit the output for files found in limited depth of tree traversal. Also in order to show just the surface level differences in "git diff-tree", recursive field stops us from descending into deeper level of the tree structure when it is set to false, and this also affects pathspec matching when we have wildcards in the pathspec. The diff-index has always wanted the recursive behaviour, and wanted to match pathspecs without any depth limit. But we forgot to do so when we updated tree_entry_interesting() logic to unify the pathspec matching logic.

2012-01-16credential-cache: ignore "connection refused" errorsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The credential-cache helper will try to connect to its daemon over a unix socket. Originally, a failure to do so was silently ignored, and we would either give up (if performing a "get" or "erase" operation), or spawn a new daemon (for a "store" operation). But since 8ec6c8d, we try to report more errors. We detect a missing daemon by checking for ENOENT on our connection attempt. If the daemon is missing, we continue as before (giving up or spawning a new daemon). For any other error, we die and report the problem. However, checking for ENOENT is not sufficient for a missing daemon. We might also get ECONNREFUSED if a dead daemon process left a stale socket. This generally shouldn't happen, as the daemon cleans up after itself, but the daemon may not always be given a chance to do so (e.g., power loss, "kill -9"). The resulting state is annoying not just because the helper outputs an extra useless message, but because it actually blocks the helper from spawning a new daemon to replace the stale socket. Fix it by checking for ECONNREFUSED. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Two "^" characters were incorrectly being interpreted as markup for superscripting. Fix them by writing them as attribute references "{caret}". Although a single "^" character in a paragraph cannot be misinterpreted in this way, also write other "^" characters as "{caret}" in the interest of good hygiene (unless they are in literal paragraphs, of course, in which context attribute references are not recognized). Spell "{}" consistently, namely *not* quoted as "\{\}". Since the braces are empty, they cannot be interpreted as an attribute reference, and either spelling is OK. So arbitrarily choose one variation and use it consistently. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-01-12thin-pack: try harder to use preferred base objects as baseLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+7
When creating a pack using objects that reside in existing packs, we try to avoid recomputing futile delta between an object (trg) and a candidate for its base object (src) if they are stored in the same packfile, and trg is not recorded as a delta already. This heuristics makes sense because it is likely that we tried to express trg as a delta based on src but it did not produce a good delta when we created the existing pack. As the pack heuristics prefer producing delta to remove data, and Linus's law dictates that the size of a file grows over time, we tend to record the newest version of the file as inflated, and older ones as delta against it. When creating a thin-pack to transfer recent history, it is likely that we will try to send an object that is recorded in full, as it is newer. But the heuristics to avoid recomputing futile delta effectively forbids us from attempting to express such an object as a delta based on another object. Sending an object in full is often more expensive than sending a suboptimal delta based on other objects, and it is even more so if we could use an object we know the receiving end already has (i.e. preferred base object) as the delta base. Tweak the recomputation avoidance logic, so that we do not punt on computing delta against a preferred base object. The effect of this change can be seen on two simulated upload-pack workloads. The first is based on 44 reflog entries from my git.git origin/master reflog, and represents the packs that kernel.org sent me git updates for the past month or two. The second workload represents much larger fetches, going from git's v1.0.0 tag to v1.1.0, then v1.1.0 to v1.2.0, and so on. The table below shows the average generated pack size and the average CPU time consumed for each dataset, both before and after the patch: dataset | reflog | tags --------------------------------- before | 53358 | 2750977 size after | 32398 | 2668479 change | -39% | -3% --------------------------------- before | 0.18 | 1.12 CPU after | 0.18 | 1.15 change | +0% | +3% This patch makes a much bigger difference for packs with a shorter slice of history (since its effect is seen at the boundaries of the pack) though it has some benefit even for larger packs.

A proper fix would defer such markers until the end of the hunk. However, word-diff is inherently whitespace-ignoring, so as a cheap fix simply ignore the marker (and hide it from the output). We use a prefix match for '\ ' to parallel the logic in apply.c:parse_fragment(). We currently do not localize this string (just accept other variants of it in git-apply), but this should be future-proof.
