2007-07-03Don't smash stack when $GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES is too longLibravatar Jim Meyering1-3/+13
There is no restriction on the length of the name returned by get_object_directory, other than the fact that it must be a stat'able git object directory. That means its name may have length up to PATH_MAX-1 (i.e., often 4095) not counting the trailing NUL. Combine that with the assumption that the concatenation of that name and suffixes like "/info/alternates" and "/pack/---long-name---.idx" will fit in a buffer of length PATH_MAX, and you see the problem. Here's a fix: sha1_file.c (prepare_packed_git_one): Lengthen "path" buffer so we are guaranteed to be able to append "/pack/" without checking. Skip any directory entry that is too long to be appended. (read_info_alternates): Protect against a similar buffer overrun. Before this change, using the following admittedly contrived environment setting would cause many git commands to clobber their stack and segfault on a system with PATH_MAX == 4096: t=$(perl -e '$s=".git/objects";$n=(4096-6-length($s))/2;print "./"x$n . $s') export GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES=$t touch g ./git-update-index --add g If you run the above commands, you'll soon notice that many git commands now segfault, so you'll want to do this: unset GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-07-02Make git-prune submodule aware (and fix a SEGFAULT in the process)Libravatar Andy Parkins1-0/+20
I ran git-prune on a repository and got this: $ git-prune error: Object 228f8065b930120e35fc0c154c237487ab02d64a is a blob, not a commit Segmentation fault (core dumped) This repository was a strange one in that it was being used to provide its own submodule. That is, the repository was cloned into a subdirectory, an independent branch checked out in that subdirectory, and then it was marked as a submodule. git-prune then failed in the above manner. The problem was that git-prune was not submodule aware in two areas. Linus said: > So what happens is that something traverses a tree object, looks at each > entry, sees that it's not a tree, and tries to look it up as a blob. But > subprojects are commits, not blobs, and then when you look at the object > more closely, you get the above kind of object type confusion. and included a patch to add an S_ISGITLINK() test to reachable.c's process_tree() function. That fixed the first git-prune error, and stopped it from trying to process the gitlink entries in trees as if they were pointers to other trees (and of course failing, because gitlinks _aren't_ trees). That part of this patch is his. The second area is add_cache_refs(). This is called before starting the reachability analysis, and was calling lookup_blob() on every object hash found in the index. However, it is no longer true that every hash in the index is a pointer to a blob, some of them are gitlinks, and are not backed by any object at all, they are commits in another repository. Normally this bug was not causing any problems, but in the case of the self-referencing repository described above, it meant that the gitlink hash was being marked as being of type OBJ_BLOB by add_cache_refs() call to lookup_blob(). Then later, because that hash was also pointed to by a ref, add_one_ref() would treat it as a commit; lookup_commit() would return a NULL because that object was already noted as being an OBJ_BLOB, not an OBJ_COMMIT; and parse_commit_buffer() would SEGFAULT on that NULL pointer. The fix made by this patch is to not blindly call lookup_blob() in reachable.c's add_cache_refs(), and instead skip any index entries that are S_ISGITLINK().

2007-06-27git-gui: Don't require a .pvcsrc to create Tools/Migrate menu hackLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-2/+1
The Tools/Migrate menu option is a hack just for me. Yes, that's right, git-gui has a hidden feature that really only works for me, and the users that I support within my day-job's great firewall. The menu option is not supported outside of that environment. In the past we only enabled Tools/Migrate if our special local script 'gui-miga' existed in the proper location, and if there was a special '.pvcsrc' in the top level of the working directory. This latter test for the '.pvcsrc' file is now failing, as the file was removed from all Git repositories due to changes made to other tooling within the great firewall's realm. I have changed the test to only work on Cygwin, and only if the special 'gui-miga' is present. This works around the configuration changes made recently within the great firewall's realm, but really this entire Tools/Migrate thing should be abstracted out into some sort of plugin system so other users can extend git-gui as they need.

2007-06-26Fix zero-object version-2 packsLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+4
A pack-file can get created without any objects in it (to transfer "no data" - which can happen if you use a reference git repo, for example, or just otherwise just end up transferring only branch head information and already have all the objects themselves). And while we probably should never create an index for such a pack, if we do (and we do), the index file size sanity checking was incorrect. This fixes it.

2007-06-22git-gui: Don't require $DISPLAY just to get --versionLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce2-7/+8
Junio asked that we don't force the user to have a valid X11 server configured in $DISPLAY just to obtain the output of `git gui version`. This makes sense, the user may be an automated tool that is running without an X server available to it, such as a build script or other sort of package management system. Or it might just be a user working in a non-GUI environment and wondering "what version of git-gui do I have installed?". Tcl has a lot of warts, but one of its better ones is that a comment can be continued to the next line by escaping the LF that would have ended the comment using a backslash-LF sequence. In the past we have used this trick to escape away the 'exec wish' that is actually a Bourne shell script and keep Tcl from executing it. I'm using that feature here to comment out the Bourne shell script and hide it from the Tcl engine. Except now our Bourne shell script is a few lines long and checks to see if it should print the version, or not. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-06-20git-gui: Bind Tab/Shift-Tab to cycle between panes in blameLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+5
The blame viewer is composed of two different areas, the file area on top and the commit area on the bottom. If users are trying to shift the focus it is probably because they want to shift from one area to the other, so we just setup Tab and Shift-Tab to jump from the one half to the other in a cycle.

2007-06-20git-gui: Correctly install to /usr/bin on CygwinLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+7
Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com> noted that installation on Cygwin to /usr/bin can cause problems with the automatic guessing of our library location. The problem is that installation to /usr/bin means we actually have: /usr/bin = c:\cygwin\bin /usr/share = c:\cygwin\usr\share So git-gui guesses that its library should be found within the c:\cygwin\share directory, as that is where it should be relative to the script itself in c:\cygwin\bin. In my first version of this patch I tried to use `cygpath` to resolve /usr/bin and /usr/share to test that they were in the same relative locations, but that didn't work out correctly as we were actually testing /usr/share against itself, so it always was equal, and we always used relative paths. So my original solution was quite wrong. Mark suggested we just always disable relative behavior on Cygwin, because of the complexity of the mount mapping problem, so that's all I'm doing.

It turns out that the attribute definition we have had for a long time to hide "^" character from AsciiDoc 7 was not honored by AsciiDoc 8 even under "-a asciidoc7compatible" mode. There is a similar breakage with the "compatible" mode with + characters. The double colon at the end of definition list term needs to be attached to the term, without a whitespace. After this minimum fixups, AsciiDoc 8 (I used 8.2.1 on Debian) with compatibility mode seems to produce reasonably good results. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-06-11git-gui: Save geometry before the window layout is damagedLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce6-9/+26
Because Tk does not assure us the order that it will process children in before it destroys the main toplevel we cannot safely save our geometry data during a "bind . <Destroy>" event binding. The geometry may have already changed as a result of a one or more children being removed from the layout. This was pointed out in gitk by Mark Levedahl, and patched over there by commit b6047c5a8166a71e01c6b63ebbb67c6894d95114. So we now also use "wm protocol . WM_DELETE_WINDOW" to detect when the window is closed by the user, and forward that close event to our main do_quit routine. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-06-11git-gui: Give amend precedence to HEAD over MERGE_MSGLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+2
Apparently git-commit.sh (the command line commit user interface in core Git) always gives precedence to the prior commit's message if `commit --amend` is used and a $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MSG file also exists. We actually were doing the same here in git-gui, but the amended message got lost if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MSG already existed because we started a rescan immediately after loading the prior commit's body into the edit buffer. When that happened the rescan found MERGE_MSG existed and replaced the commit message buffer with the contents of that file. This meant the user never saw us pick up the commit message of the prior commit we are about to replace. Johannes Sixt <J.Sixt@eudaptics.com> found this bug in git-gui by running `git cherry-pick -n $someid` and then trying to amend the prior commit in git-gui, thus combining the contents of $someid with the contents of HEAD, and reusing the commit message of HEAD, not $someid. With the recent changes to make cherry-pick use the $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MSG file Johannes saw git-gui pick up the message of $someid, not HEAD. Now we always use HEAD if we are amending.

2007-06-08checkout: do not get confused with ambiguous tag/branch namesLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-1/+42
Although it is not advisable, we have always allowed a branch and a tag to have the same basename (i.e. it is not illegal to have refs/heads/frotz and refs/tags/frotz at the same time). When talking about a specific commit, the interpretation of 'frotz' has always been "use tag and then check branch", although we warn when ambiguities exist. However "git checkout $name" is defined to (1) first see if it matches the branch name, and if so switch to that branch; (2) otherwise it is an instruction to detach HEAD to point at the commit named by $name. We did not follow this definition when $name appeared under both refs/heads/ and refs/tags/ -- we switched to the branch but read the tree from the tagged commit, which was utterly bogus.
