2016-05-05parse-options.c: make OPTION_COUNTUP respect "unspecified" valuesLibravatar Pranit Bauva1-2/+6
OPT_COUNTUP() merely increments the counter upon --option, and resets it to 0 upon --no-option, which means that there is no "unspecified" value with which a client can initialize the counter to determine whether or not --[no]-option was seen at all. Make OPT_COUNTUP() treat any negative number as an "unspecified" value to address this shortcoming. In particular, if a client initializes the counter to -1, then if it is still -1 after parse_options(), then neither --option nor --no-option was seen; if it is 0, then --no-option was seen last, and if it is 1 or greater, than --option was seen last. This change does not affect the behavior of existing clients because they all use the initial value of 0 (or more). Note that builtin/clean.c initializes the variable used with OPT__FORCE (which uses OPT_COUNTUP()) to a negative value, but it is set to either 0 or 1 by reading the configuration before the code calls parse_options(), i.e. as far as parse_options() is concerned, the initial value of the variable is not negative. To test this behavior, in test-parse-options.c, "verbose" is set to "unspecified" while quiet is set to 0 which will test the new behavior with all sets of values.

2015-10-22Documentation: AsciiDoc spells em-dash as double-dashes, not tripleLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Again, we do not usually process release notes with AsciiDoc, but it is better to be consistent. This incidentally reveals breakages left by an ancient 5e00439f (Documentation: build html for all files in technical and howto, 2012-10-23). The index-format documentation was originally written to be read as straight text without formatting and when the commit forced everything in Documentation/ to go through AsciiDoc, it did not do any adjustment--hence the double-dashes will be seen in the resulting text that is rendered as preformatted fixed-width without converted into em-dashes.

2015-09-03pack-protocol: clarify LF-handling in PKT-LINE()Libravatar Jeff King2-21/+30
The spec is very inconsistent about which PKT-LINE() parts of the grammar include a LF. On top of that, the code is not consistent, either (e.g., send-pack does not put newlines into the ref-update commands it sends). Let's make explicit the long-standing expectation that we generally expect pkt-lines to end in a newline, but that receivers should be lenient. This makes the spec consistent, and matches what git already does (though it does not always fulfill the SHOULD). We do make an exception for the push-cert, where the receiving code is currently a bit pickier. This is a reasonable way to be, as the data needs to be byte-for-byte compatible with what was signed. We _could_ make up some rules about signing a canonicalized version including newlines, but that would require a code change, and is out of scope for this patch.

2015-08-19submodule: implement a config API for lookup of .gitmodules valuesLibravatar Heiko Voigt1-0/+45
In a superproject some commands need to interact with submodules. They need to query values from the .gitmodules file either from the worktree of from certain revisions. At the moment this is quite hard since a caller would need to read the .gitmodules file from the history and then parse the values. We want to provide an API for this so we have one place to get values from .gitmodules from any revision (including the worktree). The API is realized as a cache which allows us to lazily read .gitmodules configurations by commit into a runtime cache which can then be used to easily lookup values from it. Currently only the values for path or name are stored but it can be extended for any value needed. It is expected that .gitmodules files do not change often between commits. Thats why we lookup the .gitmodules sha1 from a commit and then either lookup an already parsed configuration or parse and cache an unknown one for each sha1. The cache is lazily build on demand for each requested commit. This cache can be used for all purposes which need knowledge about submodule configurations. Example use cases are: * Recursive submodule checkout needs to lookup a submodule name from its path when a submodule first appears. This needs be done before this configuration exists in the worktree. * The implementation of submodule support for 'git archive' needs to lookup the submodule name to generate the archive when given a revision that is not checked out. * 'git fetch' when given the --recurse-submodules=on-demand option (or configuration) needs to lookup submodule names by path from the database rather than reading from the worktree. For new submodule it needs to lookup the name from its path to allow cloning new submodules into the .git folder so they can be checked out without any network interaction when the user does a checkout of that revision.

2015-06-24introduce "preciousObjects" repository extensionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+7
If this extension is used in a repository, then no operations should run which may drop objects from the object storage. This can be useful if you are sharing that storage with other repositories whose refs you cannot see. For instance, if you do: $ git clone -s parent child $ git -C parent config extensions.preciousObjects true $ git -C parent config core.repositoryformatversion 1 you now have additional safety when running git in the parent repository. Prunes and repacks will bail with an error, and `git gc` will skip those operations (it will continue to pack refs and do other non-object operations). Older versions of git, when run in the repository, will fail on every operation. Note that we do not set the preciousObjects extension by default when doing a "clone -s", as doing so breaks backwards compatibility. It is a decision the user should make explicitly.

2015-06-24introduce "extensions" form of core.repositoryformatversionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+81
Normally we try to avoid bumps of the whole-repository core.repositoryformatversion field. However, it is unavoidable if we want to safely change certain aspects of git in a backwards-incompatible way (e.g., modifying the set of ref tips that we must traverse to generate a list of unreachable, safe-to-prune objects). If we were to bump the repository version for every such change, then any implementation understanding version `X` would also have to understand `X-1`, `X-2`, and so forth, even though the incompatibilities may be in orthogonal parts of the system, and there is otherwise no reason we cannot implement one without the other (or more importantly, that the user cannot choose to use one feature without the other, weighing the tradeoff in compatibility only for that particular feature). This patch documents the existing repositoryformatversion strategy and introduces a new format, "1", which lets a repository specify that it must run with an arbitrary set of extensions. This can be used, for example: - to inform git that the objects should not be pruned based only on the reachability of the ref tips (e.g, because it has "clone --shared" children) - that the refs are stored in a format besides the usual "refs" and "packed-refs" directories Because we bump to format "1", and because format "1" requires that a running git knows about any extensions mentioned, we know that older versions of the code will not do something dangerous when confronted with these new formats. For example, if the user chooses to use database storage for refs, they may set the "extensions.refbackend" config to "db". Older versions of git will not understand format "1" and bail. Versions of git which understand "1" but do not know about "refbackend", or which know about "refbackend" but not about the "db" backend, will refuse to run. This is annoying, of course, but much better than the alternative of claiming that there are no refs in the repository, or writing to a location that other implementations will not read. Note that we are only defining the rules for format 1 here. We do not ever write format 1 ourselves; it is a tool that is meant to be used by users and future extensions to provide safety with older implementations.

The unsigned long option parsing (including 'k'/'m'/'g' suffix parsing) is more widely applicable. Add support for OPT_MAGNITUDE to parse-options.h and change pack-objects.c use this support. The error behavior on parse errors follows that of OPT_INTEGER. The name of the option that failed to parse is reported with a brief message describing the expect format for the option argument and then the full usage message for the command invoked. This differs from the previous behavior for OPT_ULONG used in pack-objects for --max-pack-size and --window-memory which used to display the value supplied in the error message and did not display the full usage message.
