2009-11-04http-backend: add GIT_PROJECT_ROOT environment varLibravatar Mark Lodato2-25/+39
Add a new environment variable, GIT_PROJECT_ROOT, to override the method of using PATH_TRANSLATED to find the git repository on disk. This makes it much easier to configure the web server, especially when the web server's DocumentRoot does not contain the git repositories, which is the usual case.

2009-11-04Smart fetch and push over HTTP: server sideLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce2-4/+359
Requests for $GIT_URL/git-receive-pack and $GIT_URL/git-upload-pack are forwarded to the corresponding backend process by directly executing it and leaving stdin and stdout connected to the invoking web server. Prior to starting the backend process the HTTP response headers are sent, thereby freeing the backend from needing to know about the HTTP protocol. Requests that are encoded with Content-Encoding: gzip are automatically inflated before being streamed into the backend. This is primarily useful for the git-upload-pack backend, which receives highly repetitive text data from clients that easily compresses to 50% of its original size. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2009-11-04Add stateless RPC options to upload-pack, receive-packLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce2-10/+56
When --stateless-rpc is passed as a command line parameter to upload-pack or receive-pack the programs now assume they may perform only a single read-write cycle with stdin and stdout. This fits with the HTTP POST request processing model where a program may read the request, write a response, and must exit. When --advertise-refs is passed as a command line parameter only the initial ref advertisement is output, and the program exits immediately. This fits with the HTTP GET request model, where no request content is received but a response must be produced. HTTP headers and/or environment are not processed here, but instead are assumed to be handled by the program invoking either service backend. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2009-11-04Git-aware CGI to provide dumb HTTP transportLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce4-0/+396
The git-http-backend CGI can be configured into any Apache server using ScriptAlias, such as with the following configuration: LoadModule cgi_module /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_cgi.so LoadModule alias_module /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_alias.so ScriptAlias /git/ /usr/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend/ Repositories are accessed via the translated PATH_INFO.

2009-10-30Move WebDAV HTTP push under remote-curlLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce6-54/+287
The remote helper interface now supports the push capability, which can be used to ask the implementation to push one or more specs to the remote repository. For remote-curl we implement this by calling the existing WebDAV based git-http-push executable. Internally the helper interface uses the push_refs transport hook so that the complexity of the refspec parsing and matching can be reused between remote implementations. When possible however the helper protocol uses source ref name rather than the source SHA-1, thereby allowing the helper to access this name if it is useful. >From Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at>: update http tests according to remote-curl capabilities o Pushing packed refs is now fixed. o The transport helper fails if refs are already up-to-date. Add a test for that. o The transport helper will notice if refs are already up-to-date. We therefore need to update server info in the unpacked-refs test. o The transport helper will purge deleted branches automatically. o Use a variable ($ORIG_HEAD) instead of full SHA-1 name.

2009-10-30remote-helpers: Fetch more than one ref in a batchLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce3-26/+115
Some network protocols (e.g. native git://) are able to fetch more than one ref at a time and reduce the overall transfer cost by combining the requests into a single exchange. Instead of feeding each fetch request one at a time to the helper, feed all of them at once so the helper can decide whether or not it should batch them. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2009-10-30Add multi_ack_detailed capability to fetch-pack/upload-packLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce2-22/+50
When multi_ack_detailed is enabled the ACK continue messages returned by the remote upload-pack are broken out to describe the different states within the peer. This permits the client to better understand the server's in-memory state. The fetch-pack/upload-pack protocol now looks like: NAK --------------------------------- Always sent in response to "done" if there was no common base selected from the "have" lines (or no have lines were sent). * no multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed: Sent when the client has sent a pkt-line flush ("0000") and the server has not yet found a common base object. * either multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed: Always sent in response to a pkt-line flush. ACK %s ----------------------------------- * no multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed: Sent in response to "have" when the object exists on the remote side and is therefore an object in common between the peers. The argument is the SHA-1 of the common object. * either multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed: Sent in response to "done" if there are common objects. The argument is the last SHA-1 determined to be common. ACK %s continue ----------------------------------- * multi_ack only: Sent in response to "have". The remote side wants the client to consider this object as common, and immediately stop transmitting additional "have" lines for objects that are reachable from it. The reason the client should stop is not given, but is one of the two cases below available under multi_ack_detailed. ACK %s common ----------------------------------- * multi_ack_detailed only: Sent in response to "have". Both sides have this object. Like with "ACK %s continue" above the client should stop sending have lines reachable for objects from the argument. ACK %s ready ----------------------------------- * multi_ack_detailed only: Sent in response to "have". The client should stop transmitting objects which are reachable from the argument, and send "done" soon to get the objects. If the remote side has the specified object, it should first send an "ACK %s common" message prior to sending "ACK %s ready". Clients may still submit additional "have" lines if there are more side branches for the client to explore that might be added to the common set and reduce the number of objects to transfer.

2009-10-30Move "get_ack()" back to fetch-packLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce3-22/+21
In 41cb7488 Linus moved this function to connect.c for reuse inside of the git-clone-pack command. That was 2005, but in 2006 Junio retired git-clone-pack in commit efc7fa53. Since then the only caller has been fetch-pack. Since this ACK/NAK exchange is only used by the fetch-pack/upload-pack protocol we should move it back to be a private detail of fetch-pack.

2009-10-30fetch-pack: Use a strbuf to compose the want listLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce3-25/+39
This change is being offered as a refactoring to make later commits in the smart HTTP series easier. By changing the enabled capabilities to be formatted in a strbuf it is easier to add a new capability to the set of supported capabilities. By formatting the want portion of the request into a strbuf and writing it as a whole block we can later decide to hold onto the req_buf (instead of releasing it) to recycle in stateless communications.

2009-10-14sha1_file: Fix infinite loop when pack is corruptedLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce2-0/+13
Some types of corruption to a pack may confuse the deflate stream which stores an object. In Andy's reported case a 36 byte region of the pack was overwritten, leading to what appeared to be a valid deflate stream that was trying to produce a result larger than our allocated output buffer could accept. Z_BUF_ERROR is returned from inflate() if either the input buffer needs more input bytes, or the output buffer has run out of space. Previously we only considered the former case, as it meant we needed to move the stream's input buffer to the next window in the pack. We now abort the loop if inflate() returns Z_BUF_ERROR without consuming the entire input buffer it was given, or has filled the entire output buffer but has not yet returned Z_STREAM_END. Either state is a clear indicator that this loop is not working as expected, and should not continue. This problem cannot occur with loose objects as we open the entire loose object as a single buffer and treat Z_BUF_ERROR as an error.

2009-10-14clone: Supply the right commit hash to post-checkout when -b is usedLibravatar Björn Steinbrink2-1/+3
When we use -b <branch>, we may checkout something else than what the remote's HEAD references, but we still used remote_head to supply the new ref value to the post-checkout hook, which is wrong. So instead of using remote_head to find the value to be passed to the post-checkout hook, we have to use our_head_points_at, which is always correctly setup, even if -b is not used. This also fixes a segfault when "clone -b <branch>" is used with a remote repo that doesn't have a valid HEAD, as in such a case remote_head is NULL, but we still tried to access it.

Before the --, always attempt ref completion. This helps with entering the <treeish> arguments to git-grep. As a bonus, you can work around git-grep's current lack of --all by hitting M-*, ugly as the resulting command line may be. Strictly speaking, completing the regular expression argument (or option argument) makes no sense. However, we cannot prevent _all_ completion (it will fall back to filenames), so we dispense with any additional complication to detect whether the user still has to enter a regular expression.

When saying the initial branch is equal to the currently active remote branch, it is probably intended that the branch heads point to the same commit. Maybe it would be more useful to a new user to emphasize that the tree contents and history are the same. More important, probably, is that this new branch is set up so that "git pull" merges changes from the corresponding remote branch. The next paragraph addresses that directly. What the reader needs to know to begin with is that (1) the initial branch is your own; if you do not pull, it won't get updated, and that (2) the initial branch starts out at the same commit as the upstream.

Aliases with newlines have been a problem since commit 56fc25f (Bash completion support for remotes in .git/config., 2006-11-05). The chance of the problem occurring has been slim at best, until commit 518ef8f (completion: Replace config --list with --get-regexp, 2009-09-11) removed the case statement introduced by commit 56fc25f. Before removing the case statement, most aliases with newlines would work unless they were specially crafted as follows [alias] foo = "log -1 --pretty='format:%s\nalias.error=broken'" After removing the case statement, a more benign alias like [alias] whowhat = "log -1 --pretty='format:%an <%ae>\n%s'" wont-complete = ... would cause the completion to break badly.
