2021-12-15Merge branch 'es/worktree-chatty-to-stderr'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
"git worktree add" showed "Preparing worktree" message to the standard output stream, but when it failed, the message from die() went to the standard error stream. Depending on the order the stdio streams are flushed at the program end, this resulted in confusing output. It has been corrected by sending all the chatty messages to the standard error stream. * es/worktree-chatty-to-stderr: git-worktree.txt: add missing `-v` to synopsis for `worktree list` worktree: send "chatty" messages to stderr

2021-12-04CodingGuidelines: document which output goes to stdout vs. stderrLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-0/+27
It has long been practice on this project for a command to emit its primary output to stdout so that it can be captured to a file or sent down a pipe, and to emit "chatty" messages (such as those reporting progress) to stderr so that they don't interfere with the primary output. However, this practice is not necessarily universal; another common practice is to send only error messages to stderr, and all other messages to stdout. Therefore, help newcomers out by documenting how stdout and stderr are used on this project.

2021-11-18midx: fix a formatting issue in "multi-pack-index.txt"Libravatar Teng Long1-6/+6
There is a formatting issue in "multi-pack-index.html", corresponding to the nesting bulleted list of a wrong usage in "multi-pack-index.txt" and this commit fix the problem. In ASCIIDOC, it doesn't treat an indented character as the beginning of a sub-list. If we want to write a nested bulleted list, we could just use ASTERISK without any DASH like: " * Level 1 list item ** Level 2 list item *** Level 3 list item ** Level 2 list item * Level 1 list item ** Level 2 list item * Level 1 list item " The DASH can be used for bulleted list too, But the DASH is suggested only to be used as the marker for the first level because the DASH doesn’t work well or a best practice for nested lists, like (dash is as level 2 below): " * Level 1 list item - Level 2 list item * Level 1 list item " ASTERISK is recommanded to use because it works intuitively and clearly ("marker length = nesting level") in nested lists, but the DASH can't. However, when you want to write a non-nested bulleted lists, DASH works too, like: " - Level 1 list item - Level 1 list item - Level 1 list item " Reviewed-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Reviewed-by: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Teng Long <dyroneteng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2021-11-11protocol-v2.txt: align delim-pkt spec with usageLibravatar Calvin Wan1-3/+3
The current protocol EBNF allows command-request to end with the capability list, if no command specific arguments follow, but the protocol requires that after the capability list, there must be a delim-pkt regardless of the number of command specific arguments. Fixed the EBNF to match. Both JGit and libgit2's implementation has the delim-pkt as mandatory. JGit's code is not publicly linkable, but libgit2 is linked below[1]. As for currently implemented commands on v2 (ls-ref and fetch), the delim packet is already being passed through [1]: https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/blob/main/src/transports/git.c Reported-by: Ivan Frade <ifrade@google.com> Signed-off-by: Calvin Wan <calvinwan@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2021-11-11fetch-pack: redact packfile urls in tracesLibravatar Ivan Frade1-2/+3
In some setups, packfile uris act as bearer token. It is not recommended to expose them plainly in logs, although in special circunstances (e.g. debug) it makes sense to write them. Redact the packfile URL paths by default, unless the GIT_TRACE_REDACT variable is set to false. This mimics the redacting of the Authorization header in HTTP.

2021-11-04strbuf_addftime(): handle "%s" manuallyLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The strftime() function has a non-standard "%s" extension, which prints the number of seconds since the epoch. But the "struct tm" we get has already been adjusted for a particular time zone; going back to an epoch time requires knowing that zone offset. Since strftime() doesn't take such an argument, round-tripping to a "struct tm" and back to the "%s" format may produce the wrong value (off by tz_offset seconds). Since we're already passing in the zone offset courtesy of c3fbf81a85 (strbuf: let strbuf_addftime handle %z and %Z itself, 2017-06-15), we can use that same value to adjust our epoch seconds accordingly. Note that the description above makes it sound like strftime()'s "%s" is useless (and really, the issue is shared by mktime(), which is what strftime() would use under the hood). But it gets the two cases for which it's designed correct: - the result of gmtime() will have a zero offset, so no adjustment is necessary - the result of localtime() will be offset by the local zone offset, and mktime() and strftime() are defined to assume this offset when converting back (there's actually some magic here; some implementations record this in the "struct tm", but we can't portably access or manipulate it. But they somehow "know" whether a "struct tm" is from gmtime() or localtime()). This latter point means that "format-local:%s" actually works correctly already, because in that case we rely on the system routines due to 6eced3ec5e (date: use localtime() for "-local" time formats, 2017-06-15). Our problem comes when trying to show times in the author's zone, as the system routines provide no mechanism for converting in non-local zones. So in those cases we have a "struct tm" that came from gmtime(), but has been manipulated according to our offset. The tests cover the broken round-trip by formatting "%s" for a time in a non-system timezone. We use the made-up "+1234" here, which has two advantages. One, we know it won't ever be the real system zone (and so we're actually testing a case that would break). And two, since it has a minute component, we're testing the full decoding of the +HHMM zone into a number of seconds. Likewise, we test the "-1234" variant to make sure there aren't any sign mistakes. There's one final test, which covers "format-local:%s". As noted, this already passes, but it's important to check that we didn't regress this case. In particular, the caller in show_date() is relying on localtime() to have done the zone adjustment, independent of any tz_offset we compute ourselves. These should match up, since our local_tzoffset() is likewise built around localtime(). But it would be easy for a caller to forget to pass in a correct tz_offset to strbuf_addftime(). Fortunately show_date() does this correctly (it has to because of the existing handling of %z), and the test continues to pass. So this one is just future-proofing against a change in our assumptions. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
