"git rebase" has learned to use the merge backend (i.e. the machinery that drives "rebase -i") by default, while allowing "--apply" option to use the "apply" backend (e.g. the moral equivalent of "format-patch piped to am").

The object reachability bitmap machinery and the partial cloning machinery were not prepared to work well together, because some object-filtering criteria that partial clones use inherently rely on object traversal, but the bitmap machinery is an optimization to bypass that object traversal.

2020-02-22partial-clone: avoid fetching when looking for objectsLibravatar Derrick Stolee2-6/+6
When using partial clone, find_non_local_tags() in builtin/fetch.c checks each remote tag to see if its object also exists locally. There is no expectation that the object exist locally, but this function nevertheless triggers a lazy fetch if the object does not exist. This can be extremely expensive when asking for a commit, as we are completely removed from the context of the non-existent object and thus supply no "haves" in the request. 6462d5eb9a (fetch: remove fetch_if_missing=0, 2019-11-05) removed a global variable that prevented these fetches in favor of a bitflag. However, some object existence checks were not updated to use this flag. Update find_non_local_tags() to use OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT in addition to OBJECT_INFO_QUICK. The _QUICK option only prevents repreparing the pack-file structures. We need to be extremely careful about supplying _SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT when we expect an object to not exist due to updated refs. This resolves a broken test in t5616-partial-clone.sh. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-02-22partial-clone: demonstrate bugs in partial fetchLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+31
While testing partial clone, I noticed some odd behavior. I was testing a way of running 'git init', followed by manually configuring the remote for partial clone, and then running 'git fetch'. Astonishingly, I saw the 'git fetch' process start asking the server for multiple rounds of pack-file downloads! When tweaking the situation a little more, I discovered that I could cause the remote to hang up with an error. Add two tests that demonstrate these two issues. In the first test, we find that when fetching with blob filters from a repository that previously did not have any tags, the 'git fetch --tags origin' command fails because the server sends "multiple filter-specs cannot be combined". This only happens when using protocol v2. In the second test, we see that a 'git fetch origin' request with several ref updates results in multiple pack-file downloads. This must be due to Git trying to fault-in the objects pointed by the refs. What makes this matter particularly nasty is that this goes through the do_oid_object_info_extended() method, so there are no "haves" in the negotiation. This leads the remote to send every reachable commit and tree from each new ref, providing a quadratic amount of data transfer! This test is fixed if we revert 6462d5eb9a (fetch: remove fetch_if_missing=0, 2019-11-05), but that revert causes other test failures. The real fix will need more care. The tests are ordered in this way because if I swap the test order the tag test will succeed instead of fail. I believe this is because somehow we need the srv.bare repo to not have any tags when we clone, but then have tags in our next fetch.

2020-02-19merge-recursive: fix the refresh logic in update_file_flagsLibravatar Elijah Newren2-3/+6
If we need to delete a higher stage entry in the index to place the file at stage 0, then we'll lose that file's stat information. In such situations we may still be able to detect that the file on disk is the version we want (as noted by our comment in the code: /* do not overwrite file if already present */ ), but we do still need to update the mtime since we are creating a new cache_entry for that file. Update the logic used to determine whether we refresh a file's mtime. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-02-19t3433: new rebase testcase documenting a stat-dirty-like failureLibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+48
A user discovered a case where they had a stack of 20 simple commits to rebase, and the rebase would succeed in picking the first commit and then error out with a pair of "Could not execute the todo command" and "Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge" messages. Their steps actually made use of the -i flag, but I switched it over to -m to make it simpler to trigger the bug. With that flag, it bisects back to commit 68aa495b590d (rebase: implement --merge via the interactive machinery, 2018-12-11), but that's misleading. If you change the -m flag to --keep-empty, then the problem persists and will bisect back to 356ee4659bb5 (sequencer: try to commit without forking 'git commit', 2017-11-24) After playing with the testcase for a bit, I discovered that added --exec "sleep 1" to the command line makes the rebase succeed, making me suspect there is some kind of discard and reloading of caches that lead us to believe that something is stat dirty, but I didn't succeed in digging any further than that.

2020-02-18check-ignore: fix documentation and implementation to matchLibravatar Elijah Newren3-19/+35
check-ignore has two different modes, and neither of these modes has an implementation that matches the documentation. These modes differ in whether they just print paths or whether they also print the final pattern matched by the path. The fix is different for both modes, so I'll discuss both separately. === First (default) mode === The first mode is documented as: For each pathname given via the command-line or from a file via --stdin, check whether the file is excluded by .gitignore (or other input files to the exclude mechanism) and output the path if it is excluded. However, it fails to do this because it did not account for negated patterns. Commands other than check-ignore verify exclusion rules via calling ... -> treat_one_path() -> is_excluded() -> last_matching_pattern() while check-ignore has a call path of the form: ... -> check_ignore() -> last_matching_pattern() The fact that the latter does not include the call to is_excluded() means that it is susceptible to to messing up negated patterns (since that is the only significant thing is_excluded() adds over last_matching_pattern()). Unfortunately, we can't make it just call is_excluded(), because the same codepath is used by the verbose mode which needs to know the matched pattern in question. This brings us to... === Second (verbose) mode === The second mode, known as verbose mode, references the first in the documentation and says: Also output details about the matching pattern (if any) for each given pathname. For precedence rules within and between exclude sources, see gitignore(5). The "Also" means it will print patterns that match the exclude rules as noted for the first mode, and also print which pattern matches. Unless more information is printed than just pathname and pattern (which is not done), this definition is somewhat ill-defined and perhaps even self-contradictory for negated patterns: A path which matches a negated exclude pattern is NOT excluded and thus shouldn't be printed by the former logic, while it certainly does match one of the explicit patterns and thus should be printed by the latter logic. === Resolution == Since the second mode exists to find out which pattern matches given paths, and showing the user a pattern that begins with a '!' is sufficient for them to figure out whether the pattern is excluded, the existing behavior is desirable -- we just need to update the documentation to match the implementation (i.e. it is about printing which pattern is matched by paths, not about showing which paths are excluded). For the first or default mode, users just want to know whether a pattern is excluded. As such, the existing documentation is desirable; change the implementation to match the documented behavior. Finally, also adjust a few tests in t0008 that were caught up by this discrepancy in how negated paths were handled.

2020-02-18doc-diff: use single-colon rule in rendering MakefileLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
When rendering the troff manpages to text via "man", we create an ad-hoc Makefile and feed it to "make". The purpose here is two-fold: - reuse results from a prior interrupted render of the same tree - use make's -j option to build in parallel But the second part doesn't seem to work (at least with my version of GNU make, 4.2.1). It just runs one render at a time. We use a double-colon "all" rule for each file, like: all:: foo foo: ...actual render recipe... all:: bar bar: ...actual render recipe... ...and so on... And it's this double-colon that seems to inhibit the parallelism. We can just switch to a regular single-colon rule. Even though we do have multiple rules for "all" here, we don't have any recipe to execute for "all" (we only care about triggering its dependencies), so the distinction is irrelevant.

2020-02-16rebase: rename the two primary rebase backendsLibravatar Elijah Newren18-168/+166
Two related changes, with separate rationale for each: Rename the 'interactive' backend to 'merge' because: * 'interactive' as a name caused confusion; this backend has been used for many kinds of non-interactive rebases, and will probably be used in the future for more non-interactive rebases than interactive ones given that we are making it the default. * 'interactive' is not the underlying strategy; merging is. * the directory where state is stored is not called .git/rebase-interactive but .git/rebase-merge. Rename the 'am' backend to 'apply' because: * Few users are familiar with git-am as a reference point. * Related to the above, the name 'am' makes sentences in the documentation harder for users to read and comprehend (they may read it as the verb from "I am"); avoiding this difficult places a large burden on anyone writing documentation about this backend to be very careful with quoting and sentence structure and often forces annoying redundancy to try to avoid such problems. * Users stumble over pronunciation ("am" as in "I am a person not a backend" or "am" as in "the first and thirteenth letters in the alphabet in order are "A-M"); this may drive confusion when one user tries to explain to another what they are doing. * While "am" is the tool driving this backend, the tool driving git-am is git-apply, and since we are driving towards lower-level tools for the naming of the merge backend we may as well do so here too. * The directory where state is stored has never been called .git/rebase-am, it was always called .git/rebase-apply. For all the reasons listed above: * Modify the documentation to refer to the backends with the new names * Provide a brief note in the documentation connecting the new names to the old names in case users run across the old names anywhere (e.g. in old release notes or older versions of the documentation) * Change the (new) --am command line flag to --apply * Rename some enums, variables, and functions to reinforce the new backend names for us as well.

2020-02-16rebase: change the default backend from "am" to "merge"Libravatar Elijah Newren4-8/+22
The am-backend drops information and thus limits what we can do: * lack of full tree information from the original commits means we cannot do directory rename detection and warn users that they might want to move some of their new files that they placed in old directories to prevent their becoming orphaned.[1] * reduction in context from only having a few lines beyond those changed means that when context lines are non-unique we can apply patches incorrectly.[2] * lack of access to original commits means that conflict marker annotation has less information available. * the am backend has safety problems with an ill-timed interrupt. Also, the merge/interactive backend have far more abilities, appear to currently have a slight performance advantage[3] and have room for more optimizations than the am backend[4] (and work is underway to take advantage of some of those possibilities).

Perhaps there was a useful purpose back then, but there have been some changes: * The merge backend was deleted after being implemented on top of the interactive backend, causing the prompt for merge-based rebases to change from REBASE-m to REBASE-i. * The interactive backend is used for multiple different types of non-interactive rebases, so the "-i" part of the prompt doesn't really mean what it used to. * Rebase backends have gained more abilities and have a great deal of overlap, sometimes making it hard to distinguish them. * Behavioral differences between the backends have also been ironed out. * We want to change the default backend from am to interactive, which means people would get "REBASE-i" by default if we didn't change the prompt, and only if they specified --am or --whitespace or -C would they get the "REBASE" prompt. * In the future, we plan to have "--whitespace", "-C", and even "--am" run the interactive backend once it can handle everything the am-backend can. For all these reasons, make the prompt for any type of rebase just be "REBASE". Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-02-16rebase: add an --am optionLibravatar Elijah Newren2-2/+27
Currently, this option doesn't do anything except error out if any options requiring the interactive-backend are also passed. However, when we make the default backend configurable later in this series, this flag will provide a way to override the config setting.
