2007-11-10git-add: make the entry stat-clean after re-adding the same contentsLibravatar Junio C Hamano4-3/+8
Earlier in commit 0781b8a9b2fe760fc4ed519a3a26e4b9bd6ccffe (add_file_to_index: skip rehashing if the cached stat already matches), add_file_to_index() were taught not to re-add the path if it already matches the index. The change meant well, but was not executed quite right. It used ie_modified() to see if the file on the work tree is really different from the index, and skipped adding the contents if the function says "not modified". This was wrong. There are three possible comparison results between the index and the file in the work tree: - with lstat(2) we _know_ they are different. E.g. if the length or the owner in the cached stat information is different from the length we just obtained from lstat(2), we can tell the file is modified without looking at the actual contents. - with lstat(2) we _know_ they are the same. The same length, the same owner, the same everything (but this has a twist, as described below). - we cannot tell from lstat(2) information alone and need to go to the filesystem to actually compare. The last case arises from what we call 'racy git' situation, that can be caused with this sequence: $ echo hello >file $ git add file $ echo aeiou >file ;# the same length If the second "echo" is done within the same filesystem timestamp granularity as the first "echo", then the timestamp recorded by "git add" and the timestamp we get from lstat(2) will be the same, and we can mistakenly say the file is not modified. The path is called 'racily clean'. We need to reliably detect racily clean paths are in fact modified. To solve this problem, when we write out the index, we mark the index entry that has the same timestamp as the index file itself (that is the time from the point of view of the filesystem) to tell any later code that does the lstat(2) comparison not to trust the cached stat info, and ie_modified() then actually goes to the filesystem to compare the contents for such a path. That's all good, but it should not be used for this "git add" optimization, as the goal of "git add" is to actually update the path in the index and make it stat-clean. With the false optimization, we did _not_ cause any data loss (after all, what we failed to do was only to update the cached stat information), but it made the following sequence leave the file stat dirty: $ echo hello >file $ git add file $ echo hello >file ;# the same contents $ git add file The solution is not to use ie_modified() which goes to the filesystem to see if it is really clean, but instead use ie_match_stat() with "assume racily clean paths are dirty" option, to force re-adding of such a path. There was another problem with "git add -u". The codepath shares the same issue when adding the paths that are found to be modified, but in addition, it asked "git diff-files" machinery run_diff_files() function (which is "git diff-files") to list the paths that are modified. But "git diff-files" machinery uses the same ie_modified() call so that it does not report racily clean _and_ actually clean paths as modified, which is not what we want. The patch allows the callers of run_diff_files() to pass the same "assume racily clean paths are dirty" option, and makes "git-add -u" codepath to use that option, to discover and re-add racily clean _and_ actually clean paths. We could further optimize on top of this patch to differentiate the case where the path really needs re-adding (i.e. the content of the racily clean entry was indeed different) and the case where only the cached stat information needs to be refreshed (i.e. the racily clean entry was actually clean), but I do not think it is worth it. This patch applies to maint and all the way up. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-11-10ce_match_stat, run_diff_files: use symbolic constants for readabilityLibravatar Junio C Hamano8-34/+57
ce_match_stat() can be told: (1) to ignore CE_VALID bit (used under "assume unchanged" mode) and perform the stat comparison anyway; (2) not to perform the contents comparison for racily clean entries and report mismatch of cached stat information; using its "option" parameter. Give them symbolic constants. Similarly, run_diff_files() can be told not to report anything on removed paths. Also give it a symbolic constant for that.

2007-11-08refresh_index_quietly(): express "optional" nature of index writing betterLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+5
The point of the part of the code this patch touches is that if we modified the active_cache, we try to write it out and make it the index file for later users to use by calling "commit_locked_index", but we do not really care about the failure from this sequence because it is done purely as an optimization. The original code called three functions primarily for their side effects but as condition of an if statement, which is admittedly a bad style. Incidentally, it squelches an "empty if body" warning from gcc. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-11-05git-svn: fix dcommit clobbering when committing a series of diffsLibravatar Eric Wong2-4/+100
Our revision number sent to SVN is set to the last revision we committed if we've made any previous commits in a dcommit invocation. Although our SVN Editor code uses the delta of two (old) trees to generate information to send upstream, it'll still send complete resultant files upstream; even if the tree they're based against is out-of-date. The combination of sending a file that does not include the latest changes, but set with a revision number of a commit we just made will cause SVN to accept the resultant file even if it was generated against an old tree. More trouble was caused when fixing this because we were rebasing uncessarily at times. We used git-diff-tree to check the imported SVN revision against our HEAD, not the last tree we committed to SVN. The unnecessary rebasing caused merge commits upstream to SVN to fail.

2007-10-30git-rebase--interactive.sh: Make 3-way merge strategies work for -p.Libravatar Björn Steinbrink1-0/+2
git-rebase--interactive.sh used to pass all parents of a merge commit to git-merge, which means that we have at least 3 heads to merge: HEAD, first parent and second parent. So 3-way merge strategies like recursive wouldn't work. Fortunately, we have checked out the first parent right before the merge anyway, so that is HEAD. Therefore we can drop simply it from the list of parents, making 3-way strategies work for merge commits with only two parents.

This means that --strategy for interactive rebases is a no-op for anything but merge commits, but that's still better than being broken.

2007-10-30Make merge-recursive honor diff.renamelimitLibravatar Lars Hjemli1-0/+6
It might be a sign of source code management gone bad, but when two branches has diverged almost beyond recognition and time has come for the branches to merge, the user is going to need all the help his tool can give him. Honoring diff.renamelimit has great potential as a painkiller in such situations. The painkiller effect could have been achieved by e.g. 'merge.renamelimit', but the flexibility gained by a separate option is questionable: our user would probably expect git to detect renames equally good when merging as when diffing (I known I did).
