2017-05-16Merge branch 'js/larger-timestamps'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+4
Some platforms have ulong that is smaller than time_t, and our historical use of ulong for timestamp would mean they cannot represent some timestamp that the platform allows. Invent a separate and dedicated timestamp_t (so that we can distingiuish timestamps and a vanilla ulongs, which along is already a good move), and then declare uintmax_t is the type to be used as the timestamp_t. * js/larger-timestamps: archive-tar: fix a sparse 'constant too large' warning use uintmax_t for timestamps date.c: abort if the system time cannot handle one of our timestamps timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps PRItime: introduce a new "printf format" for timestamps parse_timestamp(): specify explicitly where we parse timestamps t0006 & t5000: skip "far in the future" test when time_t is too limited t0006 & t5000: prepare for 64-bit timestamps ref-filter: avoid using `unsigned long` for catch-all data type

2017-05-10receive-pack: verify push options in certLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-6/+26
In commit f6a4e61 ("push: accept push options", 2016-07-14), send-pack was taught to include push options both within the signed cert (if the push is a signed push) and outside the signed cert; however, receive-pack ignores push options within the cert, only handling push options outside the cert. Teach receive-pack, in the case that push options are provided for a signed push, to verify that the push options both within the cert and outside the cert are consistent. This sets in stone the requirement that send-pack redundantly send its push options in 2 places, but I think that this is better than the alternatives. Sending push options only within the cert is backwards-incompatible with existing Git servers (which read push options only from outside the cert), and sending push options only outside the cert means that the push options are not signed for.

2017-05-09docs: correct receive.advertisePushOptions defaultLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-3/+2
In commit c714e45 ("receive-pack: implement advertising and receiving push options", 2016-07-14), receive-pack was taught to (among other things) advertise that it understood push options, depending on configuration. It was documented that it advertised such ability by default; however, it actually does not. (In that commit, notice that advertise_push_options defaults to 0, unlike advertise_atomic_push which defaults to 1.) Update the documentation to state that it does not advertise the ability by default. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-05-02credential doc: make multiple-helper behavior more prominentLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-10/+10
Git's configuration system works by reading multiple configuration files in order, from general to specific: - first, the system configuration /etc/gitconfig - then the user's configuration (~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git/config) - then the repository configuration (.git/config) For single-valued configuration items, the latest value wins. For multi-valued configuration items, values accumulate in that order. For example, this allows setting a credential helper globally in ~/.gitconfig that git will try to use in all repositories, regardless of whether they additionally provide another helper. This is usually a nice thing --- e.g. I can install helpers to use my OS keychain and to cache credentials for a short period of time globally. Sometimes people want to be able to override an inherited setting. For the credential.helper setting, this is done by setting the configuration item to empty before giving it a new value. This is already documented but the documentation is hard to find --- git-config(1) says to look at gitcredentials(7) and the config reference in gitcredentials(7) doesn't mention this issue. Move the documentation to the config reference to make it easier to find. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-05-01clone: add a --no-tags option to clone without tagsLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+13
Add a --no-tags option to clone without fetching any tags. Without this change there's no easy way to clone a repository without also fetching its tags. When supplying --single-branch the primary remote branch will be cloned, but in addition tags will be followed & retrieved. Now --no-tags can be added --single-branch to clone a repository without tags, and which only tracks a single upstream branch. This option works without --single-branch as well, and will do a normal clone but not fetch any tags. Many git commands pay some fixed overhead as a function of the number of references. E.g. creating ~40k tags in linux.git will cause a command like `git log -1 >/dev/null` to run in over a second instead of in a matter of milliseconds, in addition numerous other things will slow down, e.g. "git log <TAB>" with the bash completion will slowly show ~40k references instead of 1. The user might want to avoid all of that overhead to simply use a repository like that to browse the "master" branch, or something like a CI tool might want to keep that one branch up-to-date without caring about any other references. Without this change the only way of accomplishing this was either by manually tweaking the config in a fresh repository: git init git && cat >git/.git/config <<EOF && [remote "origin"] url = git@github.com:git/git.git tagOpt = --no-tags fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master EOF cd git && git pull Which requires hardcoding the "master" name, which may not be the main --single-branch would have retrieved, or alternatively by setting tagOpt=--no-tags right after cloning & deleting any existing tags: git clone --single-branch git@github.com:git/git.git && cd git && git config remote.origin.tagOpt --no-tags && git tag -l | xargs git tag -d Which of course was also subtly buggy if --branch was pointed at a tag, leaving the user in a detached head: git clone --single-branch --branch v2.12.0 git@github.com:git/git.git && cd git && git config remote.origin.tagOpt --no-tags && git tag -l | xargs git tag -d Now all this complexity becomes the much simpler: git clone --single-branch --no-tags git@github.com:git/git.git Or in the case of cloning a single tag "branch": git clone --single-branch --branch v2.12.0 --no-tags git@github.com:git/git.git Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-04-27timestamp_t: a new data type for timestampsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-4/+4
Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit versions). So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type. By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all timestamps' data type in one go. As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`, we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.
