2018-10-11eoie: add End of Index Entry (EOIE) extensionLibravatar Ben Peart1-0/+23
The End of Index Entry (EOIE) is used to locate the end of the variable length index entries and the beginning of the extensions. Code can take advantage of this to quickly locate the index extensions without having to parse through all of the index entries. The EOIE extension is always written out to the index file including to the shared index when using the split index feature. Because it is always written out, the SHA checksums in t/t1700-split-index.sh were updated to reflect its inclusion. It is written as an optional extension to ensure compatibility with other git implementations that do not yet support it. It is always written out to ensure it is available as often as possible to speed up index operations. Because it must be able to be loaded before the variable length cache entries and other index extensions, this extension must be written last. The signature for this extension is { 'E', 'O', 'I', 'E' }. The extension consists of: - 32-bit offset to the end of the index entries - 160-bit SHA-1 over the extension types and their sizes (but not their contents). E.g. if we have "TREE" extension that is N-bytes long, "REUC" extension that is M-bytes long, followed by "EOIE", then the hash would be: SHA-1("TREE" + <binary representation of N> + "REUC" + <binary representation of M>) Signed-off-by: Ben Peart <benpeart@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-09-12update-ref: allow --no-deref with --stdinLibravatar Elijah Newren1-1/+1
If passed both --no-deref and --stdin, update-ref would error out with a general usage message that did not at all suggest these options were incompatible. The manpage for update-ref did suggest through its synopsis line that --no-deref and --stdin were incompatible, but it sadly also incorrectly suggested that -d and --no-deref were incompatible. So the help around the --no-deref option is buggy in a few ways. The --stdin option did provide a different mechanism for avoiding dereferencing symbolic-refs: adding a line reading option no-deref before every other directive in the input. (Technically, if the user wants to do the extra work of first determining which refs they want to update or delete are symbolic, then they only need to put the extra "option no-deref" lines before the updates of those refs. But in some cases, that's more work than just adding the "option no-deref" before every other directive.) It's easier to allow the user to just pass --no-deref along with --stdin in order to tell update-ref that the user doesn't want any symbolic ref to be dereferenced. It also makes the update-ref documentation simpler. Implement that, and update the documentation to match.

We avoid re-creating our temporary worktree if it's already there. But we may run into a situation where the worktree has been deleted, but an entry still exists in $GIT_DIR/worktrees. Older versions of git-worktree would annoyingly create a series of duplicate entries. Recent versions now detect and prevent this, allowing you to override with "-f". Since we know that the worktree in question was just our temporary workspace, it's safe for us to always pass "-f".

2018-08-31fetch: stop clobbering existing tags without --forceLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-4/+11
Change "fetch" to treat "+" in refspecs (aka --force) to mean we should clobber a local tag of the same name. This changes the long-standing behavior of "fetch" added in 853a3697dc ("[PATCH] Multi-head fetch.", 2005-08-20). Before this change, all tag fetches effectively had --force enabled. See the git-fetch-script code in fast_forward_local() with the comment: > Tags need not be pointing at commits so there is no way to > guarantee "fast-forward" anyway. That commit and the rest of the history of "fetch" shows that the "+" (--force) part of refpecs was only conceived for branch updates, while tags have accepted any changes from upstream unconditionally and clobbered the local tag object. Changing this behavior has been discussed as early as 2011[1]. The current behavior doesn't make sense to me, it easily results in local tags accidentally being clobbered. We could namespace our tags per-remote and not locally populate refs/tags/*, but as with my 97716d217c ("fetch: add a --prune-tags option and fetch.pruneTags config", 2018-02-09) it's easier to work around the current implementation than to fix the root cause. So this change implements suggestion #1 from Jeff's 2011 E-Mail[1], "fetch" now only clobbers the tag if either "+" is provided as part of the refspec, or if "--force" is provided on the command-line. This also makes it nicely symmetrical with how "tag" itself works when creating tags. I.e. we refuse to clobber any existing tags unless "--force" is supplied. Now we can refuse all such clobbering, whether it would happen by clobbering a local tag with "tag", or by fetching it from the remote with "fetch". Ref updates outside refs/{tags,heads/* are still still not symmetrical with how "git push" works, as discussed in the recently changed pull-fetch-param.txt documentation. This change brings the two divergent behaviors more into line with one another. I don't think there's any reason "fetch" couldn't fully converge with the behavior used by "push", but that's a topic for another change. One of the tests added in 31b808a032 ("clone --single: limit the fetch refspec to fetched branch", 2012-09-20) is being changed to use --force where a clone would clobber a tag. This changes nothing about the existing behavior of the test. 1. https://public-inbox.org/git/20111123221658.GA22313@sigill.intra.peff.net/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-08-31push doc: correct lies about how push refspecs workLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason2-11/+48
There's complex rules governing whether a push is allowed to take place depending on whether we're pushing to refs/heads/*, refs/tags/* or refs/not-that/*. See is_branch() in refs.c, and the various assertions in refs/files-backend.c. (e.g. "trying to write non-commit object %s to branch '%s'"). This documentation has never been quite correct, but went downhill after dbfeddb12e ("push: require force for refs under refs/tags/", 2012-11-29) when we started claiming that <dst> couldn't be a tag object, which is incorrect. After some of the logic in that patch was changed in 256b9d70a4 ("push: fix "refs/tags/ hierarchy cannot be updated without --force"", 2013-01-16) the docs weren't updated, and we've had some version of documentation that confused whether <src> was a tag or not with whether <dst> would accept either an annotated tag object or the commit it points to. This makes the intro somewhat more verbose & complex, perhaps we should have a shorter description here and split the full complexity into a dedicated section. Very few users will find themselves needing to e.g. push blobs or trees to refs/custom-namespace/* (or blobs or trees at all), and that could be covered separately as an advanced topic.

This phrase was originally added in 149f6ddfb3 ("Docs: Expand explanation of the use of + in git push refspecs.", 2009-02-19), as can be seen in that change the point of the example being cited was to show that force pushing can leave unreferenced commits on the remote.

As part of its operation, doc-diff creates a bunch of temporary working files and holds onto them in order to speed up subsequent invocations. These files are never deleted. Moreover, it creates a temporary working tree (via git-wortkree) which likewise never gets removed. Without knowing the implementation details of the tool, a user may not know how to clean up manually afterward. Worse, the user may find it surprising and alarming to discover a working tree which s/he did not create explicitly. To address these issues, add a --clean mode which removes the temporary working tree and deletes all generated files.

2018-08-31doc-diff: fix non-portable 'man' invocationLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-1/+1
doc-diff invokes 'man' with the -l option to force "local" mode, however, neither MacOS nor FreeBSD recognize this option. On those platforms, if the argument to 'man' contains a slash, it is automatically interpreted as a file specification, so a "local"-like mode is not needed. And, it turns out, 'man' which does support -l falls back to enabling -l automatically if it can't otherwise find a manual entry corresponding to the argument. Since doc-diff always passes an absolute path of the nroff source file to 'man', the -l option kicks in anyhow, despite not being specified explicitly. Therefore, make the invocation portable to the various platforms by simply dropping -l. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-08-30doc-diff: always use oids inside worktreeLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+4
The doc-diff script immediately resolves its two endpoints to actual object ids, so that we can reuse cached results even if they appear under a different name. But we still use the original name the user fed us when running "git checkout" in our temporary worktree. This can lead to confusing results: - the namespace inside the worktree is different than the one outside. In particular, "./doc-diff origin HEAD" will resolve HEAD inside the worktree, whose detached HEAD will be pointing at origin! As a result, such a diff would always be empty. - worse, we will store this result under the oid we got by resolving HEAD in the main worktree, thus polluting our cache - we didn't pass --detach, which meant that using a branch name would cause us to actually check out that branch, making it unavailable to other worktrees. We can solve this by feeding the already-resolved object id to git-checkout. That naturally forces a detached HEAD, but just to make clear our expectation, let's explicitly pass --detach.

2018-08-30worktree: teach 'add' to respect --force for registered but missing pathLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-2/+6
For safety, "git worktree add <path>" will refuse to add a new worktree at <path> if <path> is already associated with a worktree entry, even if <path> is missing (for instance, has been deleted or resides on non-mounted removable media or network share). The typical way to re-create a worktree at <path> in such a situation is either to prune all "broken" entries ("git worktree prune") or to selectively remove the worktree entry manually ("git worktree remove <path>"). However, neither of these approaches ("prune" nor "remove") is especially convenient, and they may be unsuitable for scripting when a tool merely wants to re-use a worktree if it exists or create it from scratch if it doesn't (much as a tool might use "mkdir -p" to re-use or create a directory). Therefore, teach 'add' to respect --force as a convenient way to re-use a path already associated with a worktree entry if the path is non-existent. For a locked worktree, require --force to be specified twice. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Emphasize that in the man page, and mention a possible workaround for the issue.

2018-08-29rerere: mention caveat about unmatched conflict markersLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-0/+4
4af3220 ("rerere: teach rerere to handle nested conflicts", 2018-08-05) introduced slightly better behaviour if the user commits conflict markers and then gets another conflict in 'git rerere'. However this is just a heuristic to punt on such conflicts better, and doesn't deal with any unmatched conflict markers. Make that clearer in the documentation.
