2010-02-03make --max-pack-size argument to 'git pack-object' count in bytesLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-4/+7
The value passed to --max-pack-size used to count in MiB which was inconsistent with the corresponding configuration variable as well as other command arguments which are defined to count in bytes with an optional unit suffix. This brings --max-pack-size in line with the rest of Git. Also, in order not to cause havoc with people used to the previous megabyte scale, and because this is a sane thing to do anyway, a minimum size of 1 MiB is enforced to avoid an explosion of pack files. Adjust and extend test suite accordingly. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-02-01fast-import: Stream very large blobs directly to packLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+14
If a blob is larger than the configured big-file-threshold, instead of reading it into a single buffer obtained from malloc, stream it onto the end of the current pack file. Streaming the larger objects into the pack avoids the 4+ GiB memory footprint that occurs when fast-import is processing 2+ GiB blobs. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

We now nag the user with a giant warning when their identity was pulled from the username, hostname, and gecos information, in case it is not correct. Most users will suppress this by simply setting up their information correctly. However, there may be some users who consciously want to use that information, because having the value change from host to host contains useful information.

2010-01-12Be more user-friendly when refusing to do something because of conflict.Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+4
Various commands refuse to run in the presence of conflicts (commit, merge, pull, cherry-pick/revert). They all used to provide rough, and inconsistant error messages. A new variable advice.resolveconflict is introduced, and allows more verbose messages, pointing the user to the appropriate solution. For commit, the error message used to look like this: $ git commit foo.txt: needs merge foo.txt: unmerged (c34a92682e0394bc0d6f4d4a67a8e2d32395c169) foo.txt: unmerged (3afcd75de8de0bb5076942fcb17446be50451030) foo.txt: unmerged (c9785d77b76dfe4fb038bf927ee518f6ae45ede4) error: Error building trees The "need merge" line is given by refresh_cache. We add the IN_PORCELAIN option to make the output more consistant with the other porcelain commands, and catch the error in return, to stop with a clean error message. The next lines were displayed by a call to cache_tree_update(), which is not reached anymore if we noticed the conflict. The new output looks like: U foo.txt fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files. Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use 'git commit -a'. Pull is slightly modified to abort immediately if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD exists instead of waiting for merge to complain. The behavior of merge and the test-case are slightly modified to reflect the usual flow: start with conflicts, fix them, and afterwards get rid of MERGE_HEAD, with different error messages at each stage.

2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutLibravatar Thomas Rast1-36/+36
The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax: both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist. The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands., 2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants. Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell, git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the $PATH.

Try to make this more clear in the git-config manual.

2009-12-29Remove http.authAnyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+0
Back when the feature to use different HTTP authentication methods was originally written, it needed an extra HTTP request for everything when the feature was in effect, because we didn't reuse curl sessions. However, b8ac923 (Add an option for using any HTTP authentication scheme, not only basic, 2009-11-27) builds on top of an updated codebase that does reuse curl sessions; there is no need to manually avoid the extra overhead by making this configurable anymore.

2009-11-27Add an option for using any HTTP authentication scheme, not only basicLibravatar Martin Storsjö1-0/+7
This adds the configuration option http.authAny (overridable with the environment variable GIT_HTTP_AUTH_ANY), for instructing curl to allow any HTTP authentication scheme, not only basic (which sends the password in plaintext). When this is enabled, curl has to do double requests most of the time, in order to discover which HTTP authentication method to use, which lowers the performance slightly. Therefore this isn't enabled by default. One example of another authentication scheme to use is digest, which doesn't send the password in plaintext, but uses a challenge-response mechanism instead. Using digest authentication in practice requires at least curl 7.18.1, due to bugs in the digest handling in earlier versions of curl.

It is a separate configuration option in order to allow a sensible configuration for foreign systems which either have no meaningful urls for repositories or which require urls that do not specify the system used by the repository at that location. However, this only affects how the name of the helper is determined, not anything about the interaction with the helper, and the contruction is such that, if the foreign scm does happen to use a co-named url method, a url with that method may be used directly.

2009-11-04Smart push over HTTP: client sideLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+8
The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports the git-receive-pack service, and if so, runs git-send-pack in a pipe to dump the command and pack data as a single POST request. The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request starts. This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified. For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server. The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas created by human authors against text sources with the occasional small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image). The configuration option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this buffer if the default is not sufficient. For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked". This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack file locally. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2009-10-19Introduce commit notesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+13
Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit message. These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF. The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1). The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes, maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we want to store them efficiently together with the other objects. This patch has been improved by the following contributions: - Thomas Rast: fix core.notesRef documentation - Tor Arne Vestbø: fix printing of multi-line notes - Alex Riesen: Using char array instead of char pointer costs less BSS - Johan Herland: Plug leak when msg is good, but msglen or type causes return Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Tor Arne Vestbø <tavestbo@trolltech.com> Signed-off-by: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> get_commit_notes(): Plug memory leak when 'if' triggers, but not because of read_sha1_file() failure
