2009-10-09pull: improve advice for unconfigured error caseLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+12
There are several reasons a git-pull invocation might not have anything marked for merge: 1. We're not on a branch, so there is no branch configuration. 2. We're on a branch, but there is no configuration for this branch. 3. We fetched from the configured remote, but the configured branch to merge didn't get fetched (either it doesn't exist, or wasn't part of the fetch refspec). 4. We fetched from the non-default remote, but didn't specify a branch to merge. We can't use the configured one because it applies to the default remote. 5. We fetched from a specified remote, and a refspec was given, but it ended up not fetching anything (this is actually hard to do; if the refspec points to a remote branch and it doesn't exist, then fetch will fail and we never make it to this code path. But if you provide a wildcard refspec like refs/bogus/*:refs/remotes/origin/* then you can see this failure). We have handled (1) and (2) for some time. Recently, commit a6dbf88 added code to handle case (3). This patch handles cases (4) and (5), which previously just fell under other cases, producing a confusing message. While we're at it, let's rewrap the text for case (3), which looks terribly ugly as it is. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-10-08Makefile: add a note about the NO_MMAP setting on IRIX and IRIX64Libravatar Brandon Casey1-0/+12
When git is compiled with the MIPSpro 7.4.4m compiler, and NO_PTHREADS is set, and NO_MMAP is _not_ set, then git segfaults when trying to access the first entry in a reflog. If NO_PTHREADS is not set (which implies that the pthread library is linked in), or NO_MMAP _is_ set, then the segfault is not encountered. The conservative choice has been made to set NO_MMAP in the Makefile to avoid this flaw. The GNU C compiler does not produce this behavior. The segfault happens in refs.c:read_ref_at(). The mmap succeeds, and the loop is executed properly until rec is rewound into the first line (reflog entry) of the file. The segfault is caught by test 28 of t1400-update-ref.sh which fails when 'git rev-parse --verify "master@{May 25 2005}"' is called. So, add a comment in the Makefile to describe why NO_MMAP is set and as a hint to those who may be interested in unsetting it.

2009-10-08ls-files: die instead of fprintf/exit in -i errorLibravatar Ben Walton1-5/+2
When ls-files was called with -i but no exclude pattern, it was calling fprintf(stderr, "...", NULL) and then exiting. On Solaris, passing NULL into fprintf was causing a segfault. On glibc systems, it was simply producing incorrect output (eg: "(null)": ...). The NULL pointer was a result of argv[0] not being preserved by the option parser. Instead of requesting that the option parser preserve argv[0], use die() with a constant string. A trigger for this bug was: `git ls-files -i` Signed-off-by: Ben Walton <bwalton@artsci.utoronto.ca> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-10-08Fix the exit code of MSVC build scripts on cygwinLibravatar Ramsay Jones2-2/+2
During an MSVC build on cygwin, the make program did not notice when the compiler or linker exited with an error. This was caused by the scripts exiting with the value returned by system() directly. On POSIX-like systems, such as cygwin, the return value of system() has the exit code of the executed command encoded in the first byte (ie the value is shifted up by 8 bits). This allows the bottom 7 bits to contain the signal number of a terminated process, while the eighth bit indicates whether a core-dump was produced. (A value of -1 indicates that the command failed to execute.) The make program, however, expects the exit code to be encoded in the bottom byte. Futhermore, it apparently masks off and ignores anything in the upper bytes. However, these scripts are (naturally) intended to be used on the windows platform, where we can not assume POSIX-like semantics from a perl implementation (eg ActiveState). So, in general, we can not assume that shifting the return value right by eight will get us the exit code. In order to improve portability, we assume that a zero return from system() indicates success, whereas anything else indicates failure. Since we don't need to know the exact exit code from the compiler or linker, we simply exit with 0 (success) or 1 (failure).

2009-10-08Fix MSVC build on cygwinLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-1/+1
In the MSVC section of the Makefile, BASIC_CFLAGS is set to a value which contains the string "-DWIN32-D_CONSOLE". This results in a (single) malformed -Define being passed to the compiler. At least on my cygwin installation, the msvc compiler seems to ignore this parameter, without issuing an error or warning, and results in the WIN32 and _CONSOLE macros being undefined. This breaks the build. In order to fix the build, we simply insert a space between the two -Define parameters, "-DWIN32" and "-D_CONSOLE", as originally intended.

Back when a74b170 (git-pull: disallow implicit merging to detached HEAD, 2007-01-15) added this check, $? referred to the error status of reading HEAD as a symbolic-ref; but cd67e4d (Teach 'git pull' about --rebase, 2007-11-28) moved the command away from where the check is, and nobody noticed the breakage. Ever since, $? has always been 0 (tr at the end of the pipe to find merge_head never fails) and other case arms were never reached. These days, error_on_no_merge_candidates function is prepared to handle a detached HEAD case, which was what the code this patch removes used to handle.

2009-10-04show-branch: fix segfault when showbranch.default existsLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-3/+19
When running "git show-branch" without any parameter in a repository that has showbranch.default defined, we used to rely on the fact that our handcrafted option parsing loop never looked at av[0]. The array of default strings had the first real command line argument in default_arg[0], but the option parser wanted to look at the array starting at av[1], so we assigned the address of -1th element to av to force the loop start working from default_arg[0]. This no longer worked since 5734365 (show-branch: migrate to parse-options API, 2009-05-21), as parse_options_start() saved the incoming &av[0] in its ctx->out and later in parse_options_end() it did memmove to ctx->out (with ctx->cpidx == 0), overwriting the memory before default_arg[] array. I am not sure if this is a bug in parse_options(), or a bug in the caller, and tonight I do not have enough concentration to figure out which. In any case, this patch works the issue around.

2009-10-02Fix some printf format warningsLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-2/+2
commit 51ea551 ("make sure byte swapping is optimal for git" 2009-08-18) introduced a "sane definition for ntohl()/htonl()" for use on some GNU C platforms. Unfortunately, for some of these platforms, this results in the introduction of a problem which is essentially the reverse of a problem that commit 6e1c234 ("Fix some warnings (on cygwin) to allow -Werror" 2008-07-3) was intended to fix. In particular, on platforms where the uint32_t type is defined to be unsigned long, the return type of the new ntohl()/htonl() is causing gcc to issue printf format warnings, such as: warning: long unsigned int format, unsigned int arg (arg 3) (nine such warnings, covering six different files). The earlier commit (6e1c234) needed to suppress these same warnings, except that the types were in the opposite direction; namely the format specifier ("%u") was 'unsigned int' and the argument type (ie the return type of ntohl()) was 'long unsigned int' (aka uint32_t). In order to suppress these warnings, the earlier commit used the (C99) PRIu32 format specifier, since the definition of this macro is suitable for use with the uint32_t type on that platform. This worked because the return type of the (original) platform ntohl()/htonl() functions was uint32_t. In order to suppress these warnings, we change the return type of the new byte swapping functions in the compat/bswap.h header file from 'unsigned int' to uint32_t.

The format of the generated MSVC solution file is fixed in a way that just opening it in Visual Studio and immediately closing it again without performing any modifications does not trigger a prompt to save the solution file. This behavior was caused by several minor incompatibilities between the generated file and what Visual Studio 2008 expected, so Visual Studio transparently fixed the file format, marking it internally as modified.

2009-09-26make 'git clone' ask the remote only for objects it cares aboutLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-10/+17
Current behavior of 'git clone' when not using --mirror is to fetch everything from the peer, and then filter out unwanted refs just before writing them out to the cloned repository. This may become highly inefficient if the peer has an unusual ref namespace, or if it simply has "remotes" refs of its own, and those locally unwanted refs are connecting to a large set of objects which becomes unreferenced as soon as they are fetched. Let's filter out those unwanted refs from the peer _before_ asking it what refs we want to fetch instead, which is the most logical thing to do anyway.
