2007-09-05git-apply: do not read past the end of bufferLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
When the preimage we are patching is shorter than what the patch text expects, we tried to match the buffer contents at the "original" line with the fragment in full, without checking we have enough data to match in the preimage. This caused the size of a later memmove() to wrap around and attempt to scribble almost the entire address space. Not good. The code that follows the part this patch touches tries to match the fragment with line offsets. Curiously, that code does not have the problem --- it guards against reading past the end of the preimage. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-05-20git-apply: Fix removal of new trailing blank lines.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-33/+15
The earlier code removed one newline too many from the hunk that adds new lines at the end of the file. Also the way the code counted the added blank lines was somewhat roundabout; I think the way updated code does it is more direct and easier to follow: * We keep track of the number of blank lines added; * While processing each line, we notice if it adds a blank line, and increment the counter, or reset it to zero otherwise; * When actually we apply the data, we remove the empty lines we counted earlier if we are applying it at the end of the file.

2007-05-11apply: do not get confused by symlinks in the middleLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+26
HPA noticed that git-rebase fails when changes involve symlinks in the middle of the hierarchy. Consider: * The tree state before the patch is applied has arch/x86_64/boot as a symlink pointing at ../i386/boot/ * The patch tries to remove arch/x86_64/boot symlink, and create bunch of files there: .gitignore, Makefile, etc. git-apply tries to be careful while applying patches; it never touches the working tree until it is convinced that the patch would apply cleanly. One of the check it does is that when it knows a path is going to be created by the patch, it runs lstat() on the path to make sure it does not exist. This leads to a false alarm. Because we do not touch the working tree before all the check passes, when we try to make sure that arch/x86_64/boot/.gitignore does not exist yet, we haven't removed the arch/x86_64/boot symlink. The lstat() check ends up seeing arch/i386/boot/.gitignore through the yet-to-be-removed symlink, and says "Hey, you already have a file there, but what you fed me is a patch to create a new file. I am not going to clobber what you have in the working tree." We have similar checks to see a file we are going to modify does exist and match the preimage of the diff, which is done by directly opening and reading the file. For a file we are going to delete, we make sure that it does exist and matches what is going to be removed (a removal patch records the full preimage, so we check what you have in your working tree matches it in full -- otherwise we would risk losing your local changes), which again is done by directly opening and reading the file. These checks need to be adjusted so that they are not fooled by symlinks in the middle. - To make sure something does not exist, first lstat(). If it does not exist, it does not, so be happy. If it _does_, we might be getting fooled by a symlink in the middle, so break leading paths and see if there are symlinks involved. When we are checking for a path a/b/c/d, if any of a, a/b, a/b/c is a symlink, then a/b/c/d does _NOT_ exist, for the purpose of our test. This would fix this particular case you saw, and would not add extra overhead in the usual case. - To make sure something already exists, first lstat(). If it does not exist, barf (up to this, we already do). Even if it does seem to exist, we might be getting fooled by a symlink in the middle, so make sure leading paths are not symlinks. This would make the normal codepath much more expensive for deep trees, which is a bit worrisome. This patch implements the first side of the check "making sure it does not exist". The latter "making sure it exists" check is not done yet, so applying the patch in reverse would still fail, but we have to start from somewhere. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-04-18Fix overwriting of files when applying contextually independent diffsLibravatar Alex Riesen1-2/+1
Noticed by applying two diffs of different contexts to the same file. The check for existence of a file was wrong: the test assumed it was a directory and reset the errno (twice: directly and by calling lstat). So if an entry existed and was _not_ a directory no attempt was made to rename into it, because the errno (expected by renaming code) was already reset to 0. This resulted in error: fatal: unable to write file file mode 100644 For Linux, removing "errno = 0" is enough, as lstat wont modify errno if it was successful. The behavior should not be depended upon, though, so modify the "if" as well. The test simulates this situation.

2007-04-05Honor -p<n> when applying git diffsLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-2/+2
If the user is trying to apply a Git generated diff file and they have specified a -p<n> option, where <n> is not 1, the user probably has a good reason for doing this. Such as they are me, trying to apply a patch generated in git.git for the git-gui subdirectory to the git-gui.git repository, where there is no git-gui subdirectory present. Users shouldn't supply -p2 unless they mean it. But if they are supplying it, they probably have thought about how to make this patch apply to their working directory, and want to risk whatever results may come from that. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-04-03_GIT_INDEX_OUTPUT: allow plumbing to output to an alternative index file.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+3
When defined, this allows plumbing commands that update the index (add, apply, checkout-index, merge-recursive, mv, read-tree, rm, update-index, and write-tree) to write their resulting index to an alternative index file while holding a lock to the original index file. With this, git-commit that jumps the index does not have to make an extra copy of the index file, and more importantly, it can do the update while holding the lock on the index. However, I think the interface to let an environment variable specify the output is a mistake, as shown in the documentation. If a curious user has the environment variable set to something other than the file GIT_INDEX_FILE points at, almost everything will break. This should instead be a command line parameter to tell these plumbing commands to write the result in the named file, to prevent stupid mistakes. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-03-22git-apply: Do not free the wrong buffer when we convert the data for writeoutLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+10
When we write out the result of patch application, we sometimes need to munge the data (e.g. under core.autocrlf). After doing so, what we should free is the temporary buffer that holds the converted data returned from convert_to_working_tree(), not the original one. This patch also moves the call to open() up in the function, as the caller expects us to fail cheaply if leading directories need to be created (and then the caller creates them and calls us again). For that calling pattern, attempting conversion before opening the file adds unnecessary overhead.

2007-03-07Cast 64 bit off_t to 32 bit size_tLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+1
Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4. This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory. On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior. Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the -Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t(). In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms detect the wrapping and die if such a file is accessed. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-03-02Add core.symlinks to mark filesystems that do not support symbolic links.Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-1/+1
Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic link, it is impossible to check out the working copy. This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in the database (as long as an entry exists in the index). Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

2007-02-27convert object type handling from a string to a numberLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-4/+4
We currently have two parallel notation for dealing with object types in the code: a string and a numerical value. One of them is obviously redundent, and the most used one requires more stack space and a bunch of strcmp() all over the place. This is an initial step for the removal of the version using a char array found in object reading code paths. The patch is unfortunately large but there is no sane way to split it in smaller parts without breaking the system.

Internal function apply_line() is called to copy both context lines and added lines to the output buffer, while possibly fixing the whitespace breakages depending on --whitespace=strip settings.

(2) However, the lines actually shown were limited to the added lines that had whitespace breakages. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-02-21git-apply: notice "diff --git" patch againLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+16
Earlier one that tried to be too consistent with GNU patch by not stripping the leading path when we _know_ we are in a subdirectory and the patch is relative to the toplevel was a mistake. This fixes it. - No change to behaviour when it is run from the toplevel of the repository. - When run from a subdirectory to apply a git-generated patch, it uses the right -p<n> value automatically, with or without --index nor --cached option. - When run from a subdirectory to apply a randomly generated patch, it wants the right -p<n> value to be given by the user. The second one is a pure improvement to correct inconsistency between --index and non --index case, compared with 1.5.0. The third point could be further improved to guess what the right value for -p<n> should be by looking at the patch, but should be a topic of a separate patch.

2007-02-19git-apply: require -p<n> when working in a subdirectory.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-14/+28
git-apply running inside a subdirectory, with or without --index, used to always assume that the patch is formatted in such a way to apply with -p1 from the toplevel, but it is more useful and consistent with the use of "GNU patch -p1" if it defaulted to assume that its input is meant to apply at the level it is invoked in. This changes the behaviour. It used to be that the patch generated this way would apply without any trick: edit Documentation/Makefile git diff >patch.file cd Documentation git apply ../patch.file You need to give an explicit -p2 to git-apply now. On the other hand, if you got a patch from somebody else who did not follow "patch is to apply from the top with -p1" convention, the input patch would start with: diff -u Makefile.old Makefile --- Makefile.old +++ Makefile and in such a case, you can apply it with: git apply -p0 patch.file Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

This fixes it to call the setup function but still allow the command to be run in a directory not controlled by git. The bug probably meant that 'git apply', not moving up to the toplevel, did not apply properly formatted diffs from the toplevel when you are inside a subdirectory, even though 'git apply --index' would.
