2012-04-11add mergesort() for linked listsLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+3
This adds a generic bottom-up mergesort implementation for singly linked lists. It was inspired by Simon Tatham's webpage on the topic[1], but not so much by his implementation -- for no good reason, really, just a case of NIH.

2012-04-10var doc: advertise current DEFAULT_PAGER and DEFAULT_EDITOR settingsLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+2
Document the default pager and editor chosen at compile time in the git-var(1) manpage so users curious about what command _this_ copy of git will fall back to when EDITOR, VISUAL, and PAGER are unset can find the answer quickly. In builds leaving those settings uncustomized, this patch makes the manpage continue to say "usually vi" and "usually less" so the formatted documentation is usable for a wide audience including users of custom builds that change those settings. If you would like your copy of the docs to be less noncommittal, you will need to set DEFAULT_PAGER=less and DEFAULT_EDITOR=vi explicitly.

2012-04-03Use SHELL_PATH from build system in run_command.c:prepare_shell_cmdLibravatar Ben Walton1-0/+7
During the testing of the 1.7.10 rc series on Solaris for OpenCSW, it was discovered that t7006-pager was failing due to finding a bad "sh" in PATH after a call to execvp("sh", ...). This call was setup by run_command.c:prepare_shell_cmd. The PATH in use at the time saw /opt/csw/bin given precedence to traditional Solaris paths such as /usr/bin and /usr/xpg4/bin. A package named schilyutils (Joerg Schilling's utilities) was installed on the build system and it delivered a modified version of the traditional Solaris /usr/bin/sh as /opt/csw/bin/sh. This version of sh suffers from many of the same problems as /usr/bin/sh. The command-specific pager test failed due to the broken "sh" handling ^ as a pipe character. It tried to fork two processes when it encountered "sed s/^/foo:/" as the pager command. This problem was entirely dependent on the PATH of the user at runtime. Possible fixes for this issue are: 1. Use the standard system() or popen() which both launch a POSIX shell on Solaris as long as _POSIX_SOURCE is defined. 2. The git wrapper could prepend SANE_TOOL_PATH to PATH thus forcing all unqualified commands run to use the known good tools on the system. 3. The run_command.c:prepare_shell_command() could use the same SHELL_PATH that is in the #! line of all all scripts and not rely on PATH to find the sh to run. Option 1 would preclude opening a bidirectional pipe to a filter script and would also break git for Windows as cmd.exe is spawned from system() (cf. v1.7.5-rc0~144^2, "alias: use run_command api to execute aliases, 2011-01-07). Option 2 is not friendly to users as it would negate their ability to use tools of their choice in many cases. Alternately, injecting SANE_TOOL_PATH such that it takes precedence over /bin and /usr/bin (and anything with lower precedence than those paths) as git-sh-setup.sh does would not solve the problem either as the user environment could still allow a bad sh to be found. (Many OpenCSW users will have /opt/csw/bin leading their PATH and some subset would have schilyutils installed.) Option 3 allows us to use a known good shell while still honouring the users' PATH for the utilities being run. Thus, it solves the problem while not negatively impacting either users or git's ability to run external commands in convenient ways. Essentially, the shell is a special case of tool that should not rely on SANE_TOOL_PATH and must be called explicitly. With this patch applied, any code path leading to run_command.c:prepare_shell_cmd can count on using the same sane shell that all shell scripts in the git suite use. Both the build system and run_command.c will default this shell to /bin/sh unless overridden.

2012-03-30Teach revision walking machinery to walk multiple times sequenciallyLibravatar Heiko Voigt1-0/+1
Previously it was not possible to iterate revisions twice using the revision walking api. We add a reset_revision_walk() which clears the used flags. This allows us to do multiple sequencial revision walks. We add the appropriate calls to the existing submodule machinery doing revision walks. This is done to avoid surprises if future code wants to call these functions more than once during the processes lifetime.

2012-02-17Introduce a performance testing frameworkLibravatar Thomas Rast1-1/+21
This introduces a performance testing framework under t/perf/. It tries to be as close to the test-lib.sh infrastructure as possible, and thus should be easy to get used to for git developers. The following points were considered for the implementation: 1. You usually want to compare arbitrary revisions/build trees against each other. They may not have the performance test under consideration, or even the perf-lib.sh infrastructure. To cope with this, the 'run' script lets you specify arbitrary build dirs and revisions. It even automatically builds the revisions if it doesn't have them at hand yet. 2. Usually you would not want to run all tests. It would take too long anyway. The 'run' script lets you specify which tests to run; or you can also do it manually. There is a Makefile for discoverability and 'make clean', but it is not meant for real-world use. 3. Creating test repos from scratch in every test is extremely time-consuming, and shipping or downloading such large/weird repos is out of the question. We leave this decision to the user. Two different sizes of test repos can be configured, and the scripts just copy one or more of those (using hardlinks for the object store). By default it tries to use the build tree's git.git repository. This is fairly fast and versatile. Using a copy instead of a clone preserves many properties that the user may want to test for, such as lots of loose objects, unpacked refs, etc. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-02-13Makefile: Change the default compiler from "gcc" to "cc"Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
Ever since the very first commit to git.git we've been setting CC to "gcc". Presumably this is behavior that Linus copied from the Linux Makefile. However unlike Linux Git is written in ANSI C and supports a multitude of compilers, including Clang, Sun Studio, xlc etc. On my Linux box "cc" is a symlink to clang, and on a Solaris box I have access to "cc" is Sun Studio's CC. Both of these are perfectly capable of compiling Git, and it's annoying to have to specify CC=cc on the command-line when compiling Git when that's the default behavior of most other portable programs. So change the default to "cc". Users who want to compile with GCC can still add "CC=gcc" to the make(1) command-line, but those users who don't have GCC as their "cc" will see expected behavior, and as a bonus we'll be more likely to smoke out new compilation warnings from our distributors since they'll me using a more varied set of compilers by default.

2012-02-06Fix build problems related to profile-directed optimizationLibravatar Theodore Ts'o1-18/+35
There was a number of problems I ran into when trying the profile-directed optimizations added by Andi Kleen in git commit 7ddc2710b9. (This was using gcc 4.4 found on many enterprise distros.) 1) The -fprofile-generate and -fprofile-use commands are incompatible with ccache; the code ends up looking in the wrong place for the gcda files based on the ccache object names. 2) If the makefile notices that CFLAGS are different, it will rebuild all of the binaries. Hence the recipe originally specified by the INSTALL file ("make profile-all" followed by "make install") doesn't work. It will appear to work, but the binaries will end up getting built with no optimization. This patch fixes this by using an explicit set of options passed via the PROFILE variable then using this to directly manipulate CFLAGS and EXTLIBS. The developer can run "make PROFILE=BUILD all ; sudo make PROFILE=BUILD install" automatically run a two-pass build with the test suite run in between as the sample workload for the purpose of recording profiling information to do the profile-directed optimization. Alternatively, the profiling version of binaries can be built using: make PROFILE=GEN PROFILE_DIR=/var/cache/profile all make PROFILE=GEN install and then after git has been used for a while, the optimized version of the binary can be built as follows: make PROFILE=USE PROFILE_DIR=/var/cache/profile all make PROFILE=USE install Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This simplifies svn-fe a great deal and fulfills a longstanding wish: support for dumps with deltas in them, and incremental imports. The cost is that commandline usage of the svn-fe tool becomes a little more complicated since it no longer keeps state itself but instead reads blobs back from fast-import in order to copy them between revisions and apply deltas to them.

2011-12-12add generic terminal prompt functionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+9
When we need to prompt the user for input interactively, we want to access their terminal directly. We can't rely on stdio because it may be connected to pipes or files, rather than the terminal. Instead, we use "getpass()", because it abstracts the idea of prompting and reading from the terminal. However, it has some problems: 1. It never echoes the typed characters, which makes it OK for passwords but annoying for other input (like usernames). 2. Some implementations of getpass() have an extremely small input buffer (e.g., Solaris 8 is reported to support only 8 characters). 3. Some implementations of getpass() will fall back to reading from stdin (e.g., glibc). We explicitly don't want this, because our stdin may be connected to a pipe speaking a particular protocol, and reading will disrupt the protocol flow (e.g., the remote-curl helper). 4. Some implementations of getpass() turn off signals, so that hitting "^C" on the terminal does not break out of the password prompt. This can be a mild annoyance. Instead, let's provide an abstract "git_terminal_prompt" function that addresses these concerns. This patch includes an implementation based on /dev/tty, enabled by setting HAVE_DEV_TTY. The fallback is to use getpass() as before. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-12-11introduce credentials APILibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
There are a few places in git that need to get a username and password credential from the user; the most notable one is HTTP authentication for smart-http pushing. Right now the only choices for providing credentials are to put them plaintext into your ~/.netrc, or to have git prompt you (either on the terminal or via an askpass program). The former is not very secure, and the latter is not very convenient. Unfortunately, there is no "always best" solution for password management. The details will depend on the tradeoff you want between security and convenience, as well as how git can integrate with other security systems (e.g., many operating systems provide a keychain or password wallet for single sign-on). This patch provides an abstract notion of credentials as a data item, and provides three basic operations: - fill (i.e., acquire from external storage or from the user) - approve (mark a credential as "working" for further storage) - reject (mark a credential as "not working", so it can be removed from storage) These operations can be backed by external helper processes that interact with system- or user-specific secure storage.
