2007-07-18Force listingblocks to be monospaced in manpagesLibravatar Julian Phillips1-0/+6
For the html output we can use a stylesheet to make sure that the listingblocks are presented in a monospaced font. For the manpages do it manually by inserting a ".ft C" before and ".ft" after the block in question. In order for these roff commands to get through to the manpage they have to be element encoded to prevent quoting.

2007-07-18Do not expect unlink(2) to fail on a directory.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+30
When "git checkout-index" checks out path A/B/C, it makes sure A and A/B are truly directories; if there is a regular file or symlink at A, we prefer to remove it. We used to do this by catching an error return from mkdir(2), and on EEXIST did unlink(2), and when it succeeded, tried another mkdir(2). Thomas Glanzmann found out the above does not work on Solaris for a root user, as unlink(2) was so old fashioned there that it allowed to unlink a directory. As pointed out, this still doesn't guarantee that git won't call "unlink()" on a directory (race conditions etc), but that's fundamentally true (there is no "funlink()" like there is "fstat()"), and besides, that is in no way git-specific (ie it's true of any application that gets run as root).

2007-07-12Teach read-tree 2-way merge to ignore intermediate symlinksLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-0/+53
Earlier in 16a4c61, we taught "read-tree -m -u" not to be confused when switching from a branch that has a path frotz/filfre to another branch that has a symlink frotz that points at xyzzy/ directory. The fix was incomplete in that it was still confused when coming back (i.e. switching from a branch with frotz -> xyzzy/ to another branch with frotz/filfre). This fix is rather expensive in that for a path that is created we would need to see if any of the leading component of that path exists as a symbolic link in the filesystem (in which case, we know that path itself does not exist, and the fact we already decided to check it out tells us that in the index we already know that symbolic link is going away as there is no D/F conflict).

2007-07-12git-gui: Work around bad interaction between Tcl and cmd.exe on ^{tree}Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+12
From Johannes Sixt <J.Sixt@eudaptics.com>: > It seems that MSYS's wish does some quoting for Bourne shells, > in particular, escape the first '{' of the "^{tree}" suffix, but > then it uses cmd.exe to run "git rev-parse". However, cmd.exe does > not remove the backslash, so that the resulting rev expression > ends up in git's guts as unrecognizable garbage: rev-parse fails, > and git-gui hickups in a way that it must be restarted. Johannes originally submitted a patch to this section of commit.tcl to use `git rev-parse $PARENT:`, but not all versions of Git will accept that format. So I'm just taking the really simple approach here of scanning the first line of the commit to grab its tree. About the same cost, but works everywhere. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Our file browser was showing bad output as it did not properly buffer a partial record when read from `ls-tree -z`. This did not show up on my Mac OS X system as most trees are small, the pipe buffers generally big and `ls-tree -z` was generally fast enough that all data was ready before Tcl started to read. However on my Cygwin system one of my production repositories had a large enough tree and packfile that it took a couple of pipe buffers for `ls-tree -z` to complete its dump. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-07-08git-gui: Skip nicknames when selecting author initialsLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+4
Our blame viewer only grabbed the first initial of the git.git author string "Simon 'corecode' Schubert". Here the problem was we looked at Simon, pulled the S into the author initials, then saw the single quote as the start of the next name and did not like this character as it was not an uppercase letter. We now skip over single quoted nicknames placed within the author name field and grab the initials following it. So the above name will get the initials SS, rather than just S.

Apparently under some setups on Windows Tk is hiding our file extension recommendation of ".bat" from the user and that is allowing the user to create a shortcut file which has no file extension. Double clicking on such a file in Windows Explorer brings up the associate file dialog, as Windows does not know what application to launch.

2007-07-06git-gui: Include a Push action on the left toolbarLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+4
Pushing changes to a remote system is a very common action for many users of git-gui, so much so that in some workflows a user is supposed to push immediately after they make a local commit so that their change(s) are immediately available for their teammates to view and build on top of.

2007-07-03Don't smash stack when $GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES is too longLibravatar Jim Meyering1-3/+13
There is no restriction on the length of the name returned by get_object_directory, other than the fact that it must be a stat'able git object directory. That means its name may have length up to PATH_MAX-1 (i.e., often 4095) not counting the trailing NUL. Combine that with the assumption that the concatenation of that name and suffixes like "/info/alternates" and "/pack/---long-name---.idx" will fit in a buffer of length PATH_MAX, and you see the problem. Here's a fix: sha1_file.c (prepare_packed_git_one): Lengthen "path" buffer so we are guaranteed to be able to append "/pack/" without checking. Skip any directory entry that is too long to be appended. (read_info_alternates): Protect against a similar buffer overrun. Before this change, using the following admittedly contrived environment setting would cause many git commands to clobber their stack and segfault on a system with PATH_MAX == 4096: t=$(perl -e '$s=".git/objects";$n=(4096-6-length($s))/2;print "./"x$n . $s') export GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES=$t touch g ./git-update-index --add g If you run the above commands, you'll soon notice that many git commands now segfault, so you'll want to do this: unset GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-07-02Make git-prune submodule aware (and fix a SEGFAULT in the process)Libravatar Andy Parkins1-0/+20
I ran git-prune on a repository and got this: $ git-prune error: Object 228f8065b930120e35fc0c154c237487ab02d64a is a blob, not a commit Segmentation fault (core dumped) This repository was a strange one in that it was being used to provide its own submodule. That is, the repository was cloned into a subdirectory, an independent branch checked out in that subdirectory, and then it was marked as a submodule. git-prune then failed in the above manner. The problem was that git-prune was not submodule aware in two areas. Linus said: > So what happens is that something traverses a tree object, looks at each > entry, sees that it's not a tree, and tries to look it up as a blob. But > subprojects are commits, not blobs, and then when you look at the object > more closely, you get the above kind of object type confusion. and included a patch to add an S_ISGITLINK() test to reachable.c's process_tree() function. That fixed the first git-prune error, and stopped it from trying to process the gitlink entries in trees as if they were pointers to other trees (and of course failing, because gitlinks _aren't_ trees). That part of this patch is his. The second area is add_cache_refs(). This is called before starting the reachability analysis, and was calling lookup_blob() on every object hash found in the index. However, it is no longer true that every hash in the index is a pointer to a blob, some of them are gitlinks, and are not backed by any object at all, they are commits in another repository. Normally this bug was not causing any problems, but in the case of the self-referencing repository described above, it meant that the gitlink hash was being marked as being of type OBJ_BLOB by add_cache_refs() call to lookup_blob(). Then later, because that hash was also pointed to by a ref, add_one_ref() would treat it as a commit; lookup_commit() would return a NULL because that object was already noted as being an OBJ_BLOB, not an OBJ_COMMIT; and parse_commit_buffer() would SEGFAULT on that NULL pointer. The fix made by this patch is to not blindly call lookup_blob() in reachable.c's add_cache_refs(), and instead skip any index entries that are S_ISGITLINK().

2007-06-27git-gui: Don't require a .pvcsrc to create Tools/Migrate menu hackLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-2/+1
The Tools/Migrate menu option is a hack just for me. Yes, that's right, git-gui has a hidden feature that really only works for me, and the users that I support within my day-job's great firewall. The menu option is not supported outside of that environment. In the past we only enabled Tools/Migrate if our special local script 'gui-miga' existed in the proper location, and if there was a special '.pvcsrc' in the top level of the working directory. This latter test for the '.pvcsrc' file is now failing, as the file was removed from all Git repositories due to changes made to other tooling within the great firewall's realm. I have changed the test to only work on Cygwin, and only if the special 'gui-miga' is present. This works around the configuration changes made recently within the great firewall's realm, but really this entire Tools/Migrate thing should be abstracted out into some sort of plugin system so other users can extend git-gui as they need.

Junio asked that we don't force the user to have a valid X11 server configured in $DISPLAY just to obtain the output of `git gui version`. This makes sense, the user may be an automated tool that is running without an X server available to it, such as a build script or other sort of package management system. Or it might just be a user working in a non-GUI environment and wondering "what version of git-gui do I have installed?". Tcl has a lot of warts, but one of its better ones is that a comment can be continued to the next line by escaping the LF that would have ended the comment using a backslash-LF sequence. In the past we have used this trick to escape away the 'exec wish' that is actually a Bourne shell script and keep Tcl from executing it. I'm using that feature here to comment out the Bourne shell script and hide it from the Tcl engine. Except now our Bourne shell script is a few lines long and checks to see if it should print the version, or not. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

2007-06-20git-gui: Correctly install to /usr/bin on CygwinLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+7
Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com> noted that installation on Cygwin to /usr/bin can cause problems with the automatic guessing of our library location. The problem is that installation to /usr/bin means we actually have: /usr/bin = c:\cygwin\bin /usr/share = c:\cygwin\usr\share So git-gui guesses that its library should be found within the c:\cygwin\share directory, as that is where it should be relative to the script itself in c:\cygwin\bin. In my first version of this patch I tried to use `cygpath` to resolve /usr/bin and /usr/share to test that they were in the same relative locations, but that didn't work out correctly as we were actually testing /usr/share against itself, so it always was equal, and we always used relative paths. So my original solution was quite wrong. Mark suggested we just always disable relative behavior on Cygwin, because of the complexity of the mount mapping problem, so that's all I'm doing.
