2013-04-25prune: introduce OPT_EXPIRY_DATE() and use itLibravatar Junio C Hamano4-2/+16
Earlier we added support for --expire=all (or --expire=now) that considers all crufts, regardless of their age, as eligible for garbage collection by turning command argument parsers that use approxidate() to use parse_expiry_date(), but "git prune" used a built-in parse-options facility OPT_DATE() and did not benefit from the new function.

2013-04-17date.c: add parse_expiry_date()Libravatar Junio C Hamano3-7/+30
"git reflog --expire=all" tries to expire reflog entries up to the current second, because the approxidate() parser gives the current timestamp for anything it does not understand (and it does not know what time "all" means). When the user tells us to expire "all" (or set the expiration time to "now"), the user wants to remove all the reflog entries (no reflog entry should record future time). Just set it to ULONG_MAX and to let everything that is older that timestamp expire. While at it, allow "now" to be treated the same way for callers that parse expiry date timestamp with this function. Also use an error reporting version of approxidate() to report misspelled date. When the user says e.g. "--expire=mnoday" to delete entries two days or older on Wednesday, we wouldn't want the "unknown, default to now" logic to kick in.

2013-03-28t: check that a pattern without trailing slash matches a directoryLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+27
Prior to v1.8.1.1, with: git init echo content >foo && mkdir subdir && echo content >subdir/bar && echo "subdir export-ignore" >.gitattributes git add . && git commit -m one && git archive HEAD | tar tf - the resulting archive would contain only "foo" and ".gitattributes", not subdir. This was broken with a recent change that intended to allow "subdir/ export-ignore" to also exclude the directory, but instead ended up _requiring_ the trailing slash by mistake. A pattern "subdir" should match any path "subdir", whether it is a directory or a non-directory. A pattern "subdir/" insists that a path "subdir" must be a directory for it to match. This patch adds test not just for this simple case, but also for deeper cross-directory cases, as well as cases with wildcards.

2013-03-28dir.c::match_pathname(): pay attention to the length of string parametersLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+12
This function takes two counted strings: a <pattern, patternlen> pair and a <pathname, pathlen> pair. But we end up feeding the result to fnmatch, which expects NUL-terminated strings. We can fix this by calling the fnmatch_icase_mem function, which handles re-allocating into a NUL-terminated string if necessary. While we're at it, we can avoid even calling fnmatch in some cases. In addition to patternlen, we get "prefix", the size of the pattern that contains no wildcard characters. We do a straight match of the prefix part first, and then use fnmatch to cover the rest. But if there are no wildcards in the pattern at all, we do not even need to call fnmatch; we would simply be comparing two empty strings.

2013-03-28dir.c::match_pathname(): adjust patternlen when shifting patternLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
If we receive a pattern that starts with "/", we shift it forward to avoid looking at the "/" part. Since the prefix and patternlen parameters are counts of what is in the pattern, we must decrement them as we increment the pointer. We remembered to handle prefix, but not patternlen. This didn't cause any bugs, though, because the patternlen parameter is not actually used. Since it will be used in future patches, let's correct this oversight.

2013-03-28dir.c::match_basename(): pay attention to the length of string parametersLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+36
The function takes two counted strings (<basename, basenamelen> and <pattern, patternlen>) as parameters, together with prefix (the length of the prefix in pattern that is to be matched literally without globbing against the basename) and EXC_* flags that tells it how to match the pattern against the basename. However, it did not pay attention to the length of these counted strings. Update them to do the following: * When the entire pattern is to be matched literally, the pattern matches the basename only when the lengths of them are the same, and they match up to that length. * When the pattern is "*" followed by a string to be matched literally, make sure that the basenamelen is equal or longer than the "literal" part of the pattern, and the tail of the basename string matches that literal part. * Otherwise, use the new fnmatch_icase_mem helper to make sure we only lookmake sure we use only look at the counted part of the strings. Because these counted strings are full strings most of the time, we check for termination to avoid unnecessary allocation.

2013-03-28attr.c::path_matches(): special case paths that end with a slashLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+4
The function is given a string that ends with a slash to signal that the path is a directory to make sure that a pattern that ends with a slash (i.e. MUSTBEDIR) can tell directories and non-directories apart. However, the pattern itself (pat->pattern and pat->patternlen) that came from such a MUSTBEDIR pattern is represented as a string that ends with a slash, but patternlen does not count that trailing slash. A MUSTBEDIR pattern "element/" is represented as a counted string <"element/", 7> and this must match match pathname "element/". Because match_basename() and match_pathname() want to see pathname "element" to match against the pattern <"element/", 7>, reduce the length of the path to exclude the trailing slash when calling these functions.

2013-03-22Fix revision walk for commits with the same datesLibravatar Kacper Kornet2-1/+14
Logic in still_interesting function allows to stop the commits traversing if the oldest processed commit is not older then the youngest commit on the list to process and the list contains only commits marked as not interesting ones. It can be premature when dealing with a set of coequal commits. For example git rev-list A^! --not B provides wrong answer if all commits in the range A..B had the same commit time and there are more then 7 of them. To fix this problem the relevant part of the logic in still_interesting is changed to: the walk can be stopped if the oldest processed commit is younger then the youngest commit on the list to processed.

2013-03-18pack-refs: add fully-peeled traitLibravatar Michael Haggerty3-6/+67
Older versions of pack-refs did not write peel lines for refs outside of refs/tags. This meant that on reading the pack-refs file, we might set the REF_KNOWS_PEELED flag for such a ref, even though we do not know anything about its peeled value. The previous commit updated the writer to always peel, no matter what the ref is. That means that packed-refs files written by newer versions of git are fine to be read by both old and new versions of git. However, we still have the problem of reading packed-refs files written by older versions of git, or by other implementations which have not yet learned the same trick. The simplest fix would be to always unset the REF_KNOWS_PEELED flag for refs outside of refs/tags that do not have a peel line (if it has a peel line, we know it is valid, but we cannot assume a missing peel line means anything). But that loses an important optimization, as upload-pack should not need to load the object pointed to by refs/heads/foo to determine that it is not a tag. Instead, we add a "fully-peeled" trait to the packed-refs file. If it is set, we know that we can trust a missing peel line to mean that a ref cannot be peeled. Otherwise, we fall back to assuming nothing.

2013-03-17pack-refs: write peeled entry for non-tagsLibravatar Jeff King2-8/+50
When we pack an annotated tag ref, we write not only the sha1 of the tag object along with the ref, but also the sha1 obtained by peeling the tag. This lets readers of the pack-refs file know the peeled value without having to actually load the object, speeding up upload-pack's ref advertisement. The writer marks a packed-refs file with peeled refs using the "peeled" trait at the top of the file. When the reader sees this trait, it knows that each ref is either followed by its peeled value, or it is not an annotated tag. However, there is a mismatch between the assumptions of the reader and writer. The writer will only peel refs under refs/tags, but the reader does not know this; it will assume a ref without a peeled value must not be a tag object. Thus an annotated tag object placed outside of the refs/tags hierarchy will not have its peeled value printed by upload-pack. The simplest way to fix this is to start writing peel values for all refs. This matches what the reader expects for both new and old versions of git.

Some call-sites do: o = parse_object(sha1); if (!o) die("bad object %s", some_name); We can now handle that as a one-liner, and get more consistent output. In the third case of this patch, it looks like we are losing information, as the existing message also outputs the sha1 hex; however, parse_object will already have written a more specific complaint about the sha1, so there is no point in repeating it here.

2013-03-17avoid segfaults on parse_object failureLibravatar Jeff King4-5/+26
Many call-sites of parse_object assume that they will get a non-NULL return value; this is not the case if we encounter an error while parsing the object. This patch adds a wrapper function around parse_object that handles dying automatically, and uses it anywhere we immediately try to access the return value as a non-NULL pointer (i.e., anywhere that we would currently segfault). This wrapper may also be useful in other places. The most obvious one is code like: o = parse_object(sha1); if (!o) die(...); However, these should not be mechanically converted to parse_object_or_die, as the die message is sometimes customized. Later patches can address these sites on a case-by-case basis. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
