2010-06-02git-compat-util.h: use apparently more common __sgi macro to detect SGI IRIXLibravatar Gary V. Vaughan1-1/+1
IRIX 6.5.26m does not define the 'sgi' macro, but it does define an '__sgi' macro. Since later IRIX versions (6.5.29m) define both macros, and since an underscore prefixed macro is preferred anyway, use '__sgi' to detect compilation on SGI IRIX.

2010-05-20Fix checkout of large files to network shares on Windows XPLibravatar René Scharfe3-3/+29
Bigger writes to network drives on Windows XP fail. Cap them at 31MB to allow them to succeed. Callers need to be prepared for write() calls that do less work than requested anyway. On local drives, write() calls are translated to WriteFile() calls with a cap of 64KB on Windows XP and 256KB on Vista. Thus a cap of 31MB won't affect the number of WriteFile() calls which do the actual work. There's still room for some other version of Windows to use a chunk size of 1MB without increasing the number of system calls.

2010-05-20start_command: close cmd->err descriptor when fork/spawn failsLibravatar bert Dvornik2-1/+3
Fix the problem where the cmd->err passed into start_command wasn't being properly closed when certain types of errors occurr. (Compare the affected code with the clean shutdown code later in the function.) On Windows, this problem would be triggered if mingw_spawnvpe() failed, which would happen if the command to be executed was malformed (e.g. a text file that didn't start with a #! line). If cmd->err was a pipe, the failure to close it could result in a hang while the other side was waiting (forever) for either input or pipe close, e.g. while trying to shove the output into the side band. On msysGit, this problem was causing a hang in t5516-fetch-push.

2010-05-10handle "git --bare init <dir>" properlyLibravatar Jeff King2-1/+15
If we know we are creating a bare repository, we use setenv to set the GIT_DIR directory to the current directory (either where we already were, or one we created and chdir'd into with "git init --bare <dir>"). However, with "git --bare init <dir>" (note the --bare as a git wrapper option), the setup code actually sets GIT_DIR for us, but it uses the wrong, original cwd when a directory is given. Because our setenv does not use the overwrite flag, it is ignored. We need to set the overwrite flag, but only when we are given a directory on the command line. That still allows: GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare to work. The behavior is changed for: GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare bar.git which used to create the repository in foo.git, but now will use bar.git. This is more sane, as command line options should generally override the environment. Noticed by Oliver Hoffmann.

2010-05-08cherry-pick: do not dump core when iconv failsLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+7
When cherry-picking, usually the new and old commit encodings are both UTF-8. Most old iconv implementations do not support this trivial conversion, so on old platforms, out->message remains NULL, and later attempts to read it segfault. Fix this by noticing the input and output encodings match and skipping the iconv step, like the other reencode_string() call sites already do. Also stop segfaulting on other iconv failures: if iconv fails for some other reason, the best we can do is to pass the old message through. This fixes a regression introduced in v1.7.1-rc0~15^2~2 (revert: clarify label on conflict hunks, 2010-03-20).

2010-05-06test-lib: some shells do not let $? propagate into an evalLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-3/+25
In 3bf7886 (test-lib: Let tests specify commands to be run at end of test, 2010-05-02), the git test harness learned to run cleanup commands unconditionally at the end of a test. During each test, the intended cleanup actions are collected in the test_cleanup variable and evaluated. That variable looks something like this: eval_ret=$?; clean_something && (exit "$eval_ret") eval_ret=$?; clean_something_else && (exit "$eval_ret") eval_ret=$?; final_cleanup && (exit "$eval_ret") eval_ret=$? All cleanup actions are run unconditionally but if one of them fails it is properly reported through $eval_ret. On FreeBSD, unfortunately, $? is set at the beginning of an ‘eval’ to 0 instead of the exit status of the previous command. This results in tests using test_expect_code appearing to fail and all others appearing to pass, unless their cleanup fails. Avoid the problem by setting eval_ret before the ‘eval’ begins. Thanks to Jeff King for the explanation.

2010-05-04test-lib: Let tests specify commands to be run at end of testLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+27
Certain actions can imply that if the test fails early, recovery from within other tests is too much to expect: - creating unwritable directories, like the EACCESS test in t0001-init - setting unusual configuration, like user.signingkey in t7004-tag - crashing and leaving the index lock held, like t3600-rm once did Some test scripts work around this by running cleanup actions outside the supervision of the test harness, with the unfortunate consequence that those commands are not appropriately echoed and their output not suppressed. Others explicitly save exit status, clean up, and then reset the exit status within the tests, which has excellent behavior but makes the tests hard to read. Still others ignore the problem. Allow tests a fourth option: by calling this function, tests can stack up commands they would like to be run to clean up. Commands passed to test_when_finished during a test are unconditionally run in the test environment immediately before the test is completed, in last-in-first-out order. If some cleanup command fails, then the other cleanup commands are still run before the failure is reported and the test script allowed to continue.

2010-05-04remove ecb parameter from xdi_diff_outf()Libravatar René Scharfe4-19/+13
xdi_diff_outf() overrides the structure members of its last parameter, ignoring any value that callers pass in. It's no surprise then that all callers pass a pointer to an uninitialized structure. They also don't read it after the call, so the parameter is neither used for input nor for output. Turn it into a local variable of xdi_diff_outf().

2010-05-04test-lib.sh: Add explicit license detail, with change from GPLv2 to GPLv2+.Libravatar Michal Sojka1-0/+12
Dear Junio, this is a resend of relicensing patch for test suite library, which was initially sent by Carl Worth. Since the time you sent me acks for this patch collected by you, I collected 8 additional acks as is documented at https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Test-lib_reclicensing. There are still three contributors missing: Bert Wesarg, Stephan Beyer and Bryan Donlan. The contributions of first two are clearly not copyrightable. I'm not sure about the copyrightability of Bryan Donlan's contributions (git log -p --author='Bryan Donlan' t/test-lib.sh). Carl told me that in your ack collection process you missed only three acks. So I wonder whether you already did some analysis of which contributions are copyrightable. If so, are the missing acks in the list bellow? Thanks Michal 8<--------8<--------8<-------- This file has had no explicit license information noted in it, but has clearly been created and modified according to the terms of GPLv2 as with the rest of the git code base. The purpose of relicensing is to allow other GPLv3+ projects (in particular, the notmuch project: http://notmuchmail.org) to use this same test-suite structure and to contribute changes back as well.
