Code clean-up and a bugfix in the logic used to tell worktree local
and repository global refs apart.
* sg/dir-trie-fixes:
path.c: don't call the match function without value in trie_find()
path.c: clarify two field names in 'struct common_dir'
path.c: mark 'logs/HEAD' in 'common_list' as file
path.c: clarify trie_find()'s in-code comment
Documentation: mention more worktree-specific exceptions
|
|
If a directory in $GIT_DIR is overridden when $GIT_COMMON_DIR is set,
then usually all paths within that directory are overridden as well.
There are a couple of exceptions, though, and two of them, namely
'refs/rewritten' and 'logs/HEAD' are not mentioned in
'gitrepository-layout'. Document them as well.

All config extensions are described in technical/repository-version.txt.
I made a mistake of adding it in config.txt instead. This patch moves
it back to where it belongs.
Since repository-version.txt is not part of officially generated
documents (it's not even part of DOC_HTML target), it's only visible
to developers who read plain .txt files. Let's include it in
gitrepository-layout.5 for more visibility. Some minor asciidoc fixes
are required in repository-version.txt to make this happen.

The code to traverse objects for reachability, used to decide what
objects are unreferenced and expendable, have been taught to also
consider per-worktree refs of other worktrees as starting points to
prevent data loss.
* nd/per-worktree-ref-iteration:
git-worktree.txt: correct linkgit command name
reflog expire: cover reflog from all worktrees
fsck: check HEAD and reflog from other worktrees
fsck: move fsck_head_link() to get_default_heads() to avoid some globals
revision.c: better error reporting on ref from different worktrees
revision.c: correct a parameter name
refs: new ref types to make per-worktree refs visible to all worktrees
Add a place for (not) sharing stuff between worktrees
refs.c: indent with tabs, not spaces

A new repo extension is added, worktreeConfig. When it is present:
- Repository config reading by default includes $GIT_DIR/config _and_
$GIT_DIR/config.worktree. "config" file remains shared in multiple
worktree setup.
- The special treatment for core.bare and core.worktree, to stay
effective only in main worktree, is gone. These config settings are
supposed to be in config.worktree.
This extension is most useful in multiple worktree setup because you
now have an option to store per-worktree config (which is either
.git/config.worktree for main worktree, or
.git/worktrees/xx/config.worktree for linked ones).
This extension can be used in single worktree mode, even though it's
pretty much useless (but this can happen after you remove all linked
worktrees and move back to single worktree).
"git config" reads from both "config" and "config.worktree" by default
(i.e. without either --user, --file...) when this extension is
present. Default writes still go to "config", not "config.worktree". A
new option --worktree is added for that (*).
Since a new repo extension is introduced, existing git binaries should
refuse to access to the repo (both from main and linked worktrees). So
they will not misread the config file (i.e. skip the config.worktree
part). They may still accidentally write to the config file anyway if
they use with "git config --file <path>".
This design places a bet on the assumption that the majority of config
variables are shared so it is the default mode. A safer move would be
default writes go to per-worktree file, so that accidental changes are
isolated.
(*) "git config --worktree" points back to "config" file when this
extension is not present and there is only one worktree so that it
works in any both single and multiple worktree setups.

When multiple worktrees are used, we need rules to determine if
something belongs to one worktree or all of them. Instead of keeping
adding rules when new stuff comes (*), have a generic rule:
- Inside $GIT_DIR, which is per-worktree by default, add
$GIT_DIR/common which is always shared. New features that want to
share stuff should put stuff under this directory.
- Inside refs/, which is shared by default except refs/bisect, add
refs/worktree/ which is per-worktree. We may eventually move
refs/bisect to this new location and remove the exception in refs
code.
(*) And it may also include stuff from external commands which will
have no way to modify common/per-worktree rules.

This "link" was a feature in early iterations of multiple worktree
functionality for some reason it was dropped [1]. Since nobody creates
this "link", there's no need to check it.
This is mostly used to let the user moves a worktree manually [2]. If
you move a worktree within the same file system, this hard link count
lets us know the worktree is still there even if we don't know where it
is.
We support 'worktree move' now and don't need this anymore.

Follow the Oxford style, which says to use "up-to-date" before the noun,
but "up to date" after it. Don't change plumbing (specifically
send-pack.c, but transport.c (git push) also has the same string).
This was produced by grepping for "up-to-date" and "up to date". It

repository layout manual was changed to reflect the location for
many files in case the variable is set. While adding the new
locations, one typo snuck in regarding the location of the

"$GIT_COMMON_DIR/index".

Each working directory of main repository has its own working directory
of submodule, and in most cases they should be checked out to different
revisions. So they should be separated.
It looks logical to make submodule instances in different working
directories to reuse the submodule directory in the common dir of
the main repository, and probably this is how "checkout --to" should
initialize them called on the main repository, but they also should work
fine being completely separated clones.
Testfile t7410-submodule-checkout-to.sh demostrates the behavior.

(alias R=$GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/<id>)
- linked checkouts are supposed to keep its location in $R/gitdir up
to date. The use case is auto fixup after a manual checkout move.
- linked checkouts are supposed to update mtime of $R/gitdir. If
$R/gitdir's mtime is older than a limit, and it points to nowhere,
worktrees/<id> is to be pruned.
- If $R/locked exists, worktrees/<id> is not supposed to be pruned. If
$R/locked exists and $R/gitdir's mtime is older than a really long
limit, warn about old unused repo.
- "git checkout --to" is supposed to make a hard link named $R/link
pointing to the .git file on supported file systems to help detect
the user manually deleting the checkout. If $R/link exists and its
link count is greated than 1, the repo is kept.

"git checkout --to" sets up a new working directory with a .git file
pointing to $GIT_DIR/worktrees/<id>. It then executes "git checkout"
again on the new worktree with the same arguments except "--to" is
taken out. The second checkout execution, which is not contaminated
with any info from the current repository, will actually check out and
everything that normal "git checkout" does.

This variable is intended to support multiple working directories
attached to a repository. Such a repository may have a main working
directory, created by either "git init" or "git clone" and one or more
linked working directories. These working directories and the main
repository share the same repository directory.
In linked working directories, $GIT_COMMON_DIR must be defined to point
to the real repository directory and $GIT_DIR points to an unused
subdirectory inside $GIT_COMMON_DIR. File locations inside the
repository are reorganized from the linked worktree view point:
- worktree-specific such as HEAD, logs/HEAD, index, other top-level
refs and unrecognized files are from $GIT_DIR.
- the rest like objects, refs, info, hooks, packed-refs, shallow...
are from $GIT_COMMON_DIR (except info/sparse-checkout, but that's
a separate patch)
Scripts are supposed to retrieve paths in $GIT_DIR with "git rev-parse
--git-path", which will take care of "$GIT_DIR vs $GIT_COMMON_DIR"
business.
The redirection is done by git_path(), git_pathdup() and
strbuf_git_path(). The selected list of paths goes to $GIT_COMMON_DIR,
not the other way around in case a developer adds a new
worktree-specific file and it's accidentally promoted to be shared
across repositories (this includes unknown files added by third party
commands)
The list of known files that belong to $GIT_DIR are:
ADD_EDIT.patch BISECT_ANCESTORS_OK BISECT_EXPECTED_REV BISECT_LOG
BISECT_NAMES CHERRY_PICK_HEAD COMMIT_MSG FETCH_HEAD HEAD MERGE_HEAD
MERGE_MODE MERGE_RR NOTES_EDITMSG NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE ORIG_HEAD
REVERT_HEAD SQUASH_MSG TAG_EDITMSG fast_import_crash_* logs/HEAD
next-index-* rebase-apply rebase-merge rsync-refs-* sequencer/*
shallow_*
Path mapping is NOT done for git_path_submodule(). Multi-checkouts are
not supported as submodules.

This split-index mode is designed to keep write cost proportional to
the number of changes the user has made, not the size of the work
tree. (Read cost is another matter, to be dealt separately.)
This mode stores index info in a pair of $GIT_DIR/index and
$GIT_DIR/sharedindex.<SHA-1>. sharedindex is large and unchanged over
time while "index" is smaller and updated often. Format details are in
index-format.txt, although not everything is implemented in this
patch.
Shared indexes are not automatically removed, because it's unclear if
the shared index is needed by any (even temporary) indexes by just
looking at it. After a while you'll collect stale shared indexes. The
good news is one shared index is useable for long, until
$GIT_DIR/index becomes too big and sluggish that the new shared index
must be created.
The safest way to clean shared indexes is to turn off split index
mode, so shared files are all garbage, delete them all, then turn on
split index mode again.

"git checkout -- <paths>" is usually used to restore all modified
files in <paths>. In sparse checkout mode, this command is overloaded
with another meaning: to add back all files in <paths> that are
excluded by sparse patterns.
As the former makes more sense for day-to-day use. Switch it to the
default and the latter enabled with --ignore-skip-worktree-bits.

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.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

With the dashed forms of git commands not in $(bindir), we have
to change many instances of "git-command" to "git command". Also,
for consistency it is at times appropriate to make the opposite
change. In some cases, the change is not so simple as changing one
character.
This patch gets rid of some of those cases by rewrapping lines.
