2016-03-03index-pack: add a helper function to derive .idx/.keep filenameLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-18/+17
These are automatically named by replacing .pack suffix in the name of the packfile. Add a small helper to do so, as I'll be adding another one soonish. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-03-03index-pack: correct --keep[=<msg>]Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-1/+7
When 592ce208 (index-pack: use strip_suffix to avoid magic numbers, 2014-06-30) refactored the code to derive names of .idx and .keep files from the name of .pack file, a copy-and-paste typo crept in, mistakingly attempting to create and store the keep message file in the .idx file we just created, instead of .keep file. As we create the .keep file with O_CREAT|O_EXCL, and we do so after we write the .idx file, we luckily do not clobber the .idx file, but because we deliberately ignored EEXIST when creating .keep file (which is justifiable because only the existence of .keep file matters), nobody noticed this mistake so far.

2016-02-25t5504: handle expected output from SIGPIPE deathLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+4
Commit 8bf4bec (add "ok=sigpipe" to test_must_fail and use it to fix flaky tests, 2015-11-27) taught t5504 to handle "git push" racily exiting with SIGPIPE rather than failing. However, one of the tests checks the output of the command, as well. In the SIGPIPE case, we will not have produced any output. If we want the test to be truly non-flaky, we have to accept either output. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-02-25fetch-pack: ignore SIGPIPE in sideband demuxerLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+5
If the other side feeds us a bogus pack, index-pack (or unpack-objects) may die early, before consuming all of its input. As a result, the sideband demuxer may get SIGPIPE (racily, depending on whether our data made it into the pipe buffer or not). If this happens and we are compiled with pthread support, it will take down the main thread, too. This isn't the end of the world, as the main process will just die() anyway when it sees index-pack failed. But it does mean we don't get a chance to say "fatal: index-pack failed" or similar. And it also means that we racily fail t5504, as we sometimes die() and sometimes are killed by SIGPIPE. So let's ignore SIGPIPE while demuxing the sideband. We are already careful to check the return value of write(), so we won't waste time writing to a broken pipe. The caller will notice the error return from the async thread, though in practice we don't even get that far, as we die() as soon as we see that index-pack failed. The non-sideband case is already fine; we let index-pack read straight from the socket, so there is no SIGPIPE at all. Technically the non-threaded async case is also OK without this (the forked async process gets SIGPIPE), but it's not worth distinguishing from the threaded case here.

2016-02-25write_or_die: handle EPIPE in async threadsLibravatar Jeff King3-0/+15
When write_or_die() sees EPIPE, it treats it specially by converting it into a SIGPIPE death. We obviously cannot ignore it, as the write has failed and the caller expects us to die. But likewise, we cannot just call die(), because printing any message at all would be a nuisance during normal operations. However, this is a problem if write_or_die() is called from a thread. Our raised signal ends up killing the whole process, when logically we just need to kill the thread (after all, if we are ignoring SIGPIPE, there is good reason to think that the main thread is expecting to handle it). Inside an async thread, the die() code already does the right thing, because we use our custom die_async() routine, which calls pthread_join(). So ideally we would piggy-back on that, and simply call: die_quietly_with_code(141); or similar. But refactoring the die code to do this is surprisingly non-trivial. The die_routines themselves handle both printing and the decision of the exit code. Every one of them would have to be modified to take new parameters for the code, and to tell us to be quiet. Instead, we can just teach write_or_die() to check for the async case and handle it specially. We do have to build an interface to abstract the async exit, but it's simple and self-contained. If we had many call-sites that wanted to do this die_quietly_with_code(), this approach wouldn't scale as well, but we don't. This is the only place where do this weird exit trick.

2016-02-25push: remove "push.default is unset" warning messageLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-34/+0
The warning was important before the 2.0 transition, and remained important for a while after, so that new users get push.default explicitly in their configuration and do not experience inconsistent behavior if they ever used an older version of Git. The warning has been there since version 1.8.0 (Oct 2012), hence we can expect the vast majority of current Git users to have been exposed to it, and most of them have already set push.default explicitly. The switch from 'matching' to 'simple' was planned for 2.0 (May 2014), but actually happened only for 2.3 (Feb 2015). Today, the warning is mostly seen by beginners, who have not set their push.default configuration (yet). For many of them, the warning is confusing because it talks about concepts that they have not learned and asks them a choice that they are not able to make yet. See for example http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13148066/warning-push-default-is-unset-its-implicit-value-is-changing-in-git-2-0 (1260 votes for the question, 1824 for the answer as of writing) Remove the warning completely to avoid disturbing beginners. People who still occasionally use an older version of Git will be exposed to the warning through this old version. Eventually, versions of Git without the warning will be deployed enough and tutorials will not need to advise setting push.default anymore.

2016-02-24submodule: try harder to fetch needed sha1 by direct fetching sha1Libravatar Stefan Beller1-3/+26
When reviewing a change that also updates a submodule in Gerrit, a common review practice is to download and cherry-pick the patch locally to test it. However when testing it locally, the 'git submodule update' may fail fetching the correct submodule sha1 as the corresponding commit in the submodule is not yet part of the project history, but also just a proposed change. If $sha1 was not part of the default fetch, we try to fetch the $sha1 directly. Some servers however do not support direct fetch by sha1, which leads git-fetch to fail quickly. We can fail ourselves here as the still missing sha1 would lead to a failure later in the checkout stage anyway, so failing here is as good as we can get.
