2020-06-19strbuf: remove unreferenced strbuf_write_fd method.Libravatar Randall S. Becker2-6/+0
strbuf_write_fd was only used in bugreport.c. Since that file now uses write_in_full, this method is no longer needed. In addition, strbuf_write_fd did not guard against exceeding MAX_IO_SIZE for the platform, nor provided error handling in the event of a failure if only partial data was written to the file descriptor. Since already write_in_full has this capability and is in general use, it should be used instead. The change impacts strbuf.c and strbuf.h. Signed-off-by: Randall S.

Git has a branch that is the master *for* development, but it is not the master *of* any "slave branch": Git does not have slave branches, and has never had, except for a single testcase that claims otherwise. :) Independent of any future change to the naming of the "master" branch, removing this sole appearance of the term is a strict improvement: it avoids divisive language, and talking about "feature branch" clarifies which developer workflow the test is trying to emulate.

2020-06-17commit-reach: use fast logic in repo_in_merge_baseLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-2/+10
The repo_is_descendant_of() method is aware of the existence of the commit-graph file. It checks for generation_numbers_enabled() before deciding on using can_all_from_reach() or repo_in_merge_bases() depending on the situation. The reason here is that can_all_from_reach() uses a depth-first search that is limited by the minimum generation number of the target commits, and that algorithm can be very slow when generation numbers are not present. The alternative uses paint_down_to_common() which will walk the entire merge-base boundary, which is typically slower. This method is used by commands like "git tag --contains" and "git branch --contains" for very fast results when a commit-graph file exists. Unfortunately, it is _not_ used in commands like "git merge-base --is-ancestor" which is doing an even simpler request. This issue was raised recently [1] with respect to a change to how generation numbers are stored, but was also reported much earlier [2] before commit-reach.c existed to simplify these reachability queries. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/20200607195347.GA8232@szeder.dev/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/git/87608bawoa.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ The root cause is that builtin/merge-base.c has a method handle_is_ancestor() that calls in_merge_bases(), an older version of repo_in_merge_bases(). It would be better if we have every caller to in_merge_bases() use the logic in can_all_from_reach() when possible. This is where things get a little tricky: repo_is_descendant_of() calls repo_in_merge_bases() in the non-generation numbers enabled case! If we simply update repo_in_merge_bases() to call repo_is_descendant_of() instead of repo_in_merge_bases_many(), then we will get a recursive call loop. Thankfully, this is caught by the test suite in the default mode (i.e. GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH=0). The trick, then, is to make the non-generation number case for repo_is_descendant_of() call repo_in_merge_bases_many() directly, skipping the non-_many version. This allows us to take advantage of this faster code path, when possible. The easiest way to measure the performance impact is to test the following command on the Linux kernel repository: git merge-base --is-ancestor <A> <B> | A | B | Time Before | Time After | |------|------|-------------|------------| | v3.0 | v5.7 | 0.459s | 0.028s | | v4.0 | v5.7 | 0.267s | 0.021s | | v5.0 | v5.7 | 0.074s | 0.013s | Note that each of these samples return success. The old code performed the same operation when <A> and <B> are swapped. However, can_all_from_reach() will return immediately if the generation numbers show that <A> has larger generation number than <B>. Thus, the time for the swapped case is universally 0.004s in each case.

2020-06-12clean: optimize and document cases where we recurse into subdirectoriesLibravatar Elijah Newren1-2/+31
Commit 6b1db43109 ("clean: teach clean -d to preserve ignored paths", 2017-05-23) added the following code block (among others) to git-clean: if (remove_directories) dir.flags |= DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO | DIR_KEEP_UNTRACKED_CONTENTS; The reason for these flags is well documented in the commit message, but isn't obvious just from looking at the code. Add some explanations to the code to make it clearer. Further, it appears git-2.26 did not correctly handle this combination of flags from git-clean. With both these flags and without DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO_MODE_MATCHING set, git is supposed to recurse into all untracked AND ignored directories. git-2.26.0 clearly was not doing that. I don't know the full reasons for that or whether git < 2.27.0 had additional unknown bugs because of that misbehavior, because I don't feel it's worth digging into. As per the huge changes and craziness documented in commit 8d92fb2927 ("dir: replace exponential algorithm with a linear one", 2020-04-01), the old algorithm was a mess and was thrown out. What I can say is that git-2.27.0 correctly recurses into untracked AND ignored directories with that combination. However, in clean's case we don't need to recurse into ignored directories; that is just a waste of time. Thus, when git-2.27.0 started correctly handling those flags, we got a performance regression report. Rather than relying on other bugs in fill_directory()'s former logic to provide the behavior of skipping ignored directories, make use of the DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO_MODE_MATCHING value specifically added in commit eec0f7f2b7 ("status: add option to show ignored files differently", 2017-10-30) for this purpose.

2020-06-12dir, clean: avoid disallowed behaviorLibravatar Elijah Newren2-1/+5
dir.h documented quite clearly that DIR_SHOW_IGNORED and DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO are mutually exclusive, with a big comment to this effect by the definition of both enum values. However, a command like git clean -fx $DIR would set both values for dir.flags. I _think_ it happened to work because: * As dir.h points out, DIR_KEEP_UNTRACKED_CONTENTS only takes effect if DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO is set. * As coded, I believe DIR_SHOW_IGNORED would just happen to take precedence over DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO in the code as currently constructed. Which is a long way of saying "we just got lucky". Fix clean.c to avoid setting these mutually exclusive values at the same time, and add a check to dir.c that will throw a BUG() to prevent anyone else from making this mistake.

2020-06-12git-sparse-checkout: clarify interactions with submodulesLibravatar Elijah Newren1-4/+26
Ignoring the sparse-checkout feature momentarily, if one has a submodule and creates local branches within it with unpushed changes and maybe adds some untracked files to it, then we would want to avoid accidentally removing such a submodule. So, for example with git.git, if you run git checkout v2.13.0 then the sha1collisiondetection/ submodule is NOT removed even though it did not exist as a submodule until v2.14.0. Similarly, if you only had v2.13.0 checked out previously and ran git checkout v2.14.0 the sha1collisiondetection/ submodule would NOT be automatically initialized despite being part of v2.14.0. In both cases, git requires submodules to be initialized or deinitialized separately. Further, we also have special handling for submodules in other commands such as clean, which requires two --force flags to delete untracked submodules, and some commands have a --recurse-submodules flag. sparse-checkout is very similar to checkout, as evidenced by the similar name -- it adds and removes files from the working copy. However, for the same avoid-data-loss reasons we do not want to remove a submodule from the working copy with checkout, we do not want to do it with sparse-checkout either. So submodules need to be separately initialized or deinitialized; changing sparse-checkout rules should not automatically trigger the removal or vivification of submodules. I believe the previous wording in git-sparse-checkout.txt about submodules was only about this particular issue. Unfortunately, the previous wording could be interpreted to imply that submodules should be considered active regardless of sparsity patterns. Update the wording to avoid making such an implication. It may be helpful to consider two example situations where the differences in wording become important: In the future, we want users to be able to run commands like git clone --sparse=moduleA --recurse-submodules $REPO_URL and have sparsity paths automatically set up and have submodules *within the sparsity paths* be automatically initialized. We do not want all submodules in any path to be automatically initialized with that command. Similarly, we want to be able to do things like git -c sparse.restrictCmds grep --recurse-submodules $REV $PATTERN and search through $REV for $PATTERN within the recorded sparsity patterns. We want it to recurse into submodules within those sparsity patterns, but do not want to recurse into directories that do not match the sparsity patterns in search of a possible submodule.

2020-06-12git diff: improve range handlingLibravatar Chris Torek2-13/+202
When git diff is given a symmetric difference A...B, it chooses some merge base from the two specified commits (as documented). This fails, however, if there is *no* merge base: instead, you see the differences between A and B, which is certainly not what is expected. Moreover, if additional revisions are specified on the command line ("git diff A...B C"), the results get a bit weird: * If there is a symmetric difference merge base, this is used as the left side of the diff. The last final ref is used as the right side. * If there is no merge base, the symmetric status is completely lost. We will produce a combined diff instead. Similar weirdness occurs if you use, e.g., "git diff C A...B D". Likewise, using multiple two-dot ranges, or tossing extra revision specifiers into the command line with two-dot ranges, or mixing two and three dot ranges, all produce nonsense. To avoid all this, add a routine to catch the range cases and verify that that the arguments make sense. As a side effect, produce a warning showing *which* merge base is being used when there are multiple choices; die if there is no merge base.
