2014-01-15interpret_branch_name: avoid @{upstream} past colonLibravatar Jeff King2-0/+19
get_sha1() cannot currently parse a valid object name like "HEAD:@{upstream}" (assuming that such an oddly named file exists in the HEAD commit). It takes two passes to parse the string: 1. It first considers the whole thing as a ref, which results in looking for the upstream of "HEAD:". 2. It finds the colon, parses "HEAD" as a tree-ish, and then finds the path "@{upstream}" in the tree. For a path that looks like a normal reflog (e.g., "HEAD:@{yesterday}"), the first pass is a no-op. We try to dwim_ref("HEAD:"), that returns zero refs, and we proceed with colon-parsing. For "HEAD:@{upstream}", though, the first pass ends up in interpret_upstream_mark, which tries to find the branch "HEAD:". When it sees that the branch does not exist, it actually dies rather than returning an error to the caller. As a result, we never make it to the second pass. One obvious way of fixing this would be to teach interpret_upstream_mark to simply report "no, this isn't an upstream" in such a case. However, that would make the error-reporting for legitimate upstream cases significantly worse. Something like "bogus@{upstream}" would simply report "unknown revision: bogus@{upstream}", while the current code diagnoses a wide variety of possible misconfigurations (no such branch, branch exists but does not have upstream, etc). However, we can take advantage of the fact that a branch name cannot contain a colon. Therefore even if we find an upstream mark, any prefix with a colon must mean that the upstream mark we found is actually a pathname, and should be disregarded completely. This patch implements that logic. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-01-15interpret_branch_name: always respect "namelen" parameterLibravatar Jeff King2-8/+24
interpret_branch_name gets passed a "name" buffer to parse, along with a "namelen" parameter representing its length. If "namelen" is zero, we fallback to the NUL-terminated string-length of "name". However, it does not necessarily follow that if we have gotten a non-zero "namelen", it is the NUL-terminated string-length of "name". E.g., when get_sha1() is parsing "foo:bar", we will be asked to operate only on the first three characters. Yet in interpret_branch_name and its helpers, we use string functions like strchr() to operate on "name", looking past the length we were given. This can result in us mis-parsing object names. We should instead be limiting our search to "namelen" bytes. There are three distinct types of object names this patch addresses: - The intrepret_empty_at helper uses strchr to find the next @-expression after our potential empty-at. In an expression like "@:foo@bar", it erroneously thinks that the second "@" is relevant, even if we were asked only to look at the first character. This case is easy to trigger (and we test it in this patch). - When finding the initial @-mark for @{upstream}, we use strchr. This means we might treat "foo:@{upstream}" as the upstream for "foo:", even though we were asked only to look at "foo". We cannot test this one in practice, because it is masked by another bug (which is fixed in the next patch). - The interpret_nth_prior_checkout helper did not receive the name length at all. This turns out not to be a problem in practice, though, because its parsing is so limited: it always starts from the far-left of the string, and will not tolerate a colon (which is currently the only way to get a smaller-than-strlen "namelen"). However, it's still worth fixing to make the code more obviously correct, and to future-proof us against callers with more exotic buffers.

2014-01-15interpret_branch_name: factor out upstream handlingLibravatar Jeff King1-31/+52
This function checks a few different @{}-constructs. The early part checks for and dispatches us to helpers for each construct, but the code for handling @{upstream} is inline. Let's factor this out into its own function. This makes interpret_branch_name more readable, and will make it much simpler to further refactor the function in future patches. While we're at it, let's also break apart the refactored code into a few helper functions. These will be useful if we eventually implement similar @{upstream}-like constructs.

2014-01-02gc: notice gc processes run by other usersLibravatar Kyle J. McKay1-1/+1
Since 64a99eb4 git gc refuses to run without the --force option if another gc process on the same repository is already running. However, if the repository is shared and user A runs git gc on the repository and while that gc is still running user B runs git gc on the same repository the gc process run by user A will not be noticed and the gc run by user B will go ahead and run. The problem is that the kill(pid, 0) test fails with an EPERM error since user B is not allowed to signal processes owned by user A (unless user B is root). Update the test to recognize an EPERM error as meaning the process exists and another gc should not be run (unless --force is given). Signed-off-by: Kyle J.

2014-01-02Revert "prompt: clean up strbuf usage"Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
This reverts commit 31b49d9b653803e7c7fd18b21c8bdd86e3421668. That commit taught do_askpass to hand ownership of our buffer back to the caller rather than simply return a pointer into our internal strbuf. What it failed to notice, though, was that our internal strbuf is static, because we are trying to emulate the getpass() interface. By handing off ownership, we created a memory leak that cannot be solved. Sometimes git_prompt returns a static buffer from getpass() (or our smarter git_terminal_prompt wrapper), and sometimes it returns an allocated string from do_askpass.

2013-12-12cat-file: handle --batch format with missing type/sizeLibravatar Jeff King2-1/+32
Commit 98e2092 taught cat-file to stream blobs with --batch, which requires that we look up the object type before loading it into memory. As a result, we now print the object header from information in sha1_object_info, and the actual contents from the read_sha1_file. We double-check that the information we printed in the header matches the content we are about to show. Later, commit 93d2a60 allowed custom header lines for --batch, and commit 5b08640 made type lookups optional. As a result, specifying a header line without the type or size means that we will not look up those items at all. This causes our double-checking to erroneously die with an error; we think the type or size has changed, when in fact it was simply left at "0". For the size, we can fix this by only doing the consistency double-check when we have retrieved the size via sha1_object_info. In the case that we have not retrieved the value, that means we also did not print it, so there is nothing for us to check that we are consistent with. We could do the same for the type. However, besides our consistency check, we also care about the type in deciding whether to stream or not. So instead of handling the case where we do not know the type, this patch instead makes sure that we always trigger a type lookup when we are printing, so that even a format without the type will stream as we would in the normal case.

2013-12-12cat-file: pass expand_data to print_object_or_dieLibravatar Jeff King1-10/+11
We currently individually pass the sha1, type, and size fields calculated by sha1_object_info. However, if we pass the whole struct, the called function can make more intelligent decisions about which fields were actually filled by sha1_object_info. This patch takes that first refactoring step, passing the whole struct, so further patches can make those decisions with less noise in their diffs. There should be no functional change to this patch (aside from a minor typo fix in the error message). As a side effect, we can rename the local variables in the function to "type" and "size", since the names are no longer taken.

2013-12-09rev-parse: be more careful with munging argumentsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+5
When rev-parse looks at whether an argument like "foo..bar" or "foobar^@" is a difference or parent-shorthand, it internally munges the arguments so that it can pass the individual rev arguments to get_sha1(). However, we do not consistently un-munge the result. For cases where we do not match (e.g., "doesnotexist..HEAD"), we would then want to try to treat the argument as a filename. try_difference gets() this right, and always unmunges in this case. However, try_parent_shorthand() never unmunges, leading to incorrect error messages, or even incorrect results: $ git rev-parse foobar^@ foobar fatal: ambiguous argument 'foobar': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this: 'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]' $ >foobar $ git rev-parse foobar^@ foobar For cases where we do match, neither function unmunges. This does not currently matter, since we are done with the argument. However, a future patch will do further processing, and this prepares for it. In addition, it's simply a confusing interface for some cases to modify the const argument, and others not to.

2013-12-09rev-parse: correctly diagnose revision errors before "--"Libravatar Jeff King2-0/+34
Rev-parse understands that a "--" may separate revisions and filenames, and that anything after the "--" is taken as-is. However, it does not understand that anything before the token must be a revision (which is the usual rule implemented by the setup_revisions parser). Since rev-parse prefers revisions to files when parsing before the "--", we end up with the correct result (if such an argument is a revision, we parse it as one, and if it is not, it is an error either way). However, we misdiagnose the errors: $ git rev-parse foobar -- >/dev/null fatal: ambiguous argument 'foobar': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this: 'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]' $ >foobar $ git rev-parse foobar -- >/dev/null fatal: bad flag '--' used after filename In both cases, we should know that the real error is that "foobar" is meant to be a revision, but could not be resolved.

git-cherry(1)'s "description" section has never really managed to explain to me what the command does. It contains too much explanation of the algorithm instead of simply saying what goals it achieves, and too much terminology that we otherwise do not use (fork-point instead of merge-base). Try a much more concise approach: state what it finds out, why this is neat, and how the output is formatted, in a few short paragraphs. In return, provide much longer examples of how it fits into a "format-patch | am" based workflow, and how it compares to reading the same from git-log. Also carefully avoid using "merge" in a context where it does not mean something that comes from git-merge(1). Instead, say "apply" in an attempt to further link to patch workflow concepts. While there, also omit the language about _which_ upstream branch we treat as the default.
