2019-10-05trace2: write discard message to sentinel filesLibravatar Josh Steadmon1-2/+14
Add a new "discard" event type for trace2 event destinations. When the trace2 file count check creates a sentinel file, it will include the normal trace2 output in the sentinel, along with this new discard event. Writing this message into the sentinel file is useful for tracking how often the file count check triggers in practice. Bump up the event format version since we've added a new event type.

2019-09-05treewide: rename 'exclude' methods to 'pattern'Libravatar Derrick Stolee1-3/+3
The first consumer of pattern-matching filenames was the .gitignore feature. In that context, storing a list of patterns as a 'struct exclude_list' makes sense. However, the sparse-checkout feature then adopted these structures and methods, but with the opposite meaning: these patterns match the files that should be included! It would be clearer to rename this entire library as a "pattern matching" library, and the callers apply exclusion/inclusion logic accordingly based on their needs. This commit renames several methods defined in dir.h to make more sense with the renamed 'struct exclude_list' to 'struct pattern_list' and 'struct exclude' to 'struct path_pattern': * last_exclude_matching() -> last_matching_pattern() * parse_exclude() -> parse_path_pattern() In addition, the word 'exclude' was replaced with 'pattern' in the methods below: * add_exclude_list() * add_excludes_from_file_to_list() * add_excludes_from_file() * add_excludes_from_blob_to_list() * add_exclude() * clear_exclude_list() A few methods with the word "exclude" remain. These will be handled seperately. In particular, the method "is_excluded()" is concretely about the .gitignore file relative to a specific directory. This is the important boundary between library and consumer: is_excluded() cares about .gitignore, but is_excluded() calls last_matching_pattern() to make that decision.

2019-08-11doc: fix repeated wordsLibravatar Mark Rushakoff2-2/+2
Inspired by 21416f0a07 ("restore: fix typo in docs", 2019-08-03), I ran "git grep -E '(\b[a-zA-Z]+) \1\b' -- Documentation/" to find other cases where words were duplicated, e.g. "the the", and in most cases removed one of the repeated words. There were many false positives by this grep command, including deliberate repeated words like "really really" or valid uses of "that that" which I left alone, of course. I also did not correct any of the legitimate, accidentally repeated words in old RelNotes.

2019-08-05doc: typo: s/can not/cannot/ and s/is does/does/Libravatar Mark Rushakoff1-1/+1
"Can not" suggests one has the option to not do something, whereas "cannot" more strongly suggests something is disallowed or impossible. Noticed "can not", mistakenly used instead of "cannot" in git help glossary, then ran git grep 'can not' and found many other instances. Only files in the Documentation folder were modified. 'Can not' also occurs in some source code comments and some test assertion messages, and there is an error message and translation "can not move directory into itself" which I may fix and submit separately from the documentation change. Also noticed and fixed "is does" in git help fetch, but there are no other occurrences of that typo according to git grep.

2019-08-01tree-walk: add a strbuf wrapper for make_traverse_path()Libravatar Jeff King1-0/+4
All but one of the callers of make_traverse_path() allocate a new heap buffer to store the path. Let's give them an easy way to write to a strbuf, which saves them from computing the length themselves (which is especially tricky when they want to add to the path). It will also make it easier for us to change the make_traverse_path() interface in a future patch to improve its bounds-checking.

2019-07-31setup_traverse_info(): stop copying oidLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+1
We assume that if setup_traverse_info() is passed a non-empty "base" string, that string is pointing into a tree object and we can read the object oid by skipping past the trailing NUL. As it turns out, this is not true for either of the two calls, and we may end up reading garbage bytes: 1. In git-merge-tree, our base string is either empty (in which case we'd never run this code), or it comes from our traverse_path() helper. The latter overallocates a buffer by the_hash_algo->rawsz bytes, but then fills it with only make_traverse_path(), leaving those extra bytes uninitialized (but part of a legitimate heap buffer). 2. In unpack_trees(), we pass o->prefix, which is some arbitrary string from the caller. In "git read-tree --prefix=foo", for instance, it will point to the command-line parameter, and we'll read 20 bytes past the end of the string. Interestingly, tools like ASan do not detect (2) because the process argv is part of a big pre-allocated buffer. So we're reading trash, but it's trash that's probably part of the next argument, or the environment. You can convince it to fail by putting something like this at the beginning of common-main.c's main() function: { int i; for (i = 0; i < argc; i++) argv[i] = xstrdup_or_null(argv[i]); } That puts the arguments into their own heap buffers, so running: make SANITIZE=address test will find problems when "read-tree --prefix" is used (e.g., in t3030). Doubly interesting, even with the hackery above, this does not fail prior to ea82b2a085 (tree-walk: store object_id in a separate member, 2019-01-15). That commit switched setup_traverse_info() to actually copying the hash, rather than simply pointing to it. That pointer was always pointing to garbage memory, but that commit started actually dereferencing the bytes, which is what triggers ASan. That also implies that nobody actually cares about reading these oid bytes anyway (or at least no path covered by our tests). And manual inspection of the code backs that up (I'll follow this patch with some cleanups that show definitively this is the case, but they're quite invasive, so it's worth doing this fix on its own). So let's drop the bogus hashcpy(), along with the confusing oversizing in merge-tree. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2019-06-19commit-graph: expire commit-graph filesLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+15
As we merge commit-graph files in a commit-graph chain, we should clean up the files that are no longer used. This change introduces an 'expiry_window' value to the context, which is always zero (for now). We then check the modified time of each graph-{hash}.graph file in the $OBJDIR/info/commit-graphs folder and unlink the files that are older than the expiry_window. Since this is always zero, this immediately clears all unused graph files. We will update the value to match a config setting in a future change.

2019-06-19commit-graph: allow cross-alternate chainsLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+40
In an environment like a fork network, it is helpful to have a commit-graph chain that spans both the base repo and the fork repo. The fork is usually a small set of data on top of the large repo, but sometimes the fork is much larger. For example, git-for-windows/git has almost double the number of commits as git/git because it rebases its commits on every major version update. To allow cross-alternate commit-graph chains, we need a few pieces: 1. When looking for a graph-{hash}.graph file, check all alternates. 2. When merging commit-graph chains, do not merge across alternates. 3. When writing a new commit-graph chain based on a commit-graph file in another object directory, do not allow success if the base file has of the name "commit-graph" instead of "commit-graphs/graph-{hash}.graph".

2019-06-19commit-graph: merge commit-graph chainsLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+80
When searching for a commit in a commit-graph chain of G graphs with N commits, the search takes O(G log N) time. If we always add a new tip graph with every write, the linear G term will start to dominate and slow the lookup process. To keep lookups fast, but also keep most incremental writes fast, create a strategy for merging levels of the commit-graph chain. The strategy is detailed in the commit-graph design document, but is summarized by these two conditions: 1. If the number of commits we are adding is more than half the number of commits in the graph below, then merge with that graph. 2. If we are writing more than 64,000 commits into a single graph, then merge with all lower graphs. The numeric values in the conditions above are currently constant, but can become config options in a future update. As we merge levels of the commit-graph chain, check that the commits still exist in the repository. A garbage-collection operation may have removed those commits from the object store and we do not want to persist them in the commit-graph chain. This is a non-issue if the 'git gc' process wrote a new, single-level commit-graph file. After we merge levels, the old graph-{hash}.graph files are no longer referenced by the commit-graph-chain file. We will expire these files in a future change.

2019-06-19commit-graph: add base graphs chunkLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-2/+9
To quickly verify a commit-graph chain is valid on load, we will read from the new "Base Graphs Chunk" of each file in the chain. This will prevent accidentally loading incorrect data from manually editing the commit-graph-chain file or renaming graph-{hash}.graph files. The commit_graph struct already had an object_id struct "oid", but it was never initialized or used. Add a line to read the hash from the end of the commit-graph file and into the oid member.

2019-06-12commit-graph: remove Future Work sectionLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-17/+0
The commit-graph feature began with a long list of planned benefits, most of which are now complete. The future work section has only a few items left. As for making more algorithms aware of generation numbers, some are only waiting for generation number v2 to ensure the performance matches the existing behavior using commit date. It is unlikely that we will ever send a commit-graph file as part of the protocol, since we would need to verify the data, and that is expensive. If we want to start trusting remote content, then that item can be investigated again. While there is more work to be done on the feature, having a section of the docs devoted to a TODO list is wasteful and hard to keep up-to-date.

2019-05-28trace2: rename environment variables to GIT_TRACE2*Libravatar SZEDER Gábor1-23/+23
For an environment variable that is supposed to be set by users, the GIT_TR2* env vars are just too unclear, inconsistent, and ugly. Most of the established GIT_* environment variables don't use abbreviations, and in case of the few that do (GIT_DIR, GIT_COMMON_DIR, GIT_DIFF_OPTS) it's quite obvious what the abbreviations (DIR and OPTS) stand for. But what does TR stand for? Track, traditional, trailer, transaction, transfer, transformation, transition, translation, transplant, transport, traversal, tree, trigger, truncate, trust, or ...?! The trace2 facility, as the '2' suffix in its name suggests, is supposed to eventually supercede Git's original trace facility. It's reasonable to expect that the corresponding environment variables follow suit, and after the original GIT_TRACE variables they are called GIT_TRACE2; there is no such thing is 'GIT_TR'. All trace2-specific config variables are, very sensibly, in the 'trace2' section, not in 'tr2'. OTOH, we don't gain anything at all by omitting the last three characters of "trace" from the names of these environment variables. So let's rename all GIT_TR2* environment variables to GIT_TRACE2*, before they make their way into a stable release.

`OPT_ARGUMENT()` is intended to keep the specified long option in `argv` and not to do anything else. However, it would make a lot of sense for the caller to know whether this option was seen at all or not. For example, we want to teach `git difftool` to work outside of any Git worktree, but only when `--no-index` was specified. Note: nothing in Git uses OPT_ARGUMENT(). Even worse, looking through the commit history, one can easily see that nothing even ever used it, apart from the regression test. So not only do we make `OPT_ARGUMENT()` more useful, we are also about to introduce its first real user!

2019-02-21protocol-capabilities.txt: document symrefLibravatar Josh Steadmon1-0/+18
In 7171d8c15f ("upload-pack: send symbolic ref information as capability"), we added a symref capability to the pack protocol, but it was never documented. Adapt the patch notes from that commit and add them to the capabilities documentation. While we're at it, add a disclaimer to the top of protocol-capabilities.txt noting that the doc only applies to v0/v1 of the wire protocol.
