2008-10-26git-archive: work in bare reposLibravatar Charles Bailey1-2/+0
This moves the call to git_config to a place where it doesn't break the logic for using git archive in a bare repository but retains the fix to make git archive respect core.autocrlf. Tests are by René Scharfe. Signed-off-by: Charles Bailey <charles@hashpling.org> Tested-by: Deskin Miller <deskinm@umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-09-18Make git archive respect core.autocrlf when creating zip format archivesLibravatar Charles Bailey1-0/+2
There is currently no call to git_config at the start of cmd_archive. When creating tar archives the core config is read as a side-effect of reading the tar specific config, but this doesn't happen for zip archives. The consequence is that in a configuration with core.autocrlf set, although files in a tar archive are created with crlf line endings, files in a zip archive retain unix line endings.

2008-07-19archive: make zip compression level independent from core gitLibravatar René Scharfe1-1/+2
zlib_compression_level is the compression level used for git's object store. It's 1 by default, which is the fastest setting. This variable is also used as the default compression level for ZIP archives created by git archive. For archives, however, zlib's own default of 6 is more appropriate, as it's favouring small size over speed -- archive creation is not that performance critical most of the time. This patch makes git archive independent from git's internal compression level setting. It affects invocations of git archive without explicitly specified compression level option, only.

2008-07-15archive: remove extra arguments parsing codeLibravatar René Scharfe1-13/+16
Replace the code that calls backend specific argument parsers by a simple flag mechanism. This reduces code size and complexity. We can add back such a mechanism (based on incremental parse_opt(), perhaps) when we need it. The compression level parameter, though, is going to be shared by future compressing backends like tgz.

2008-07-13Make usage strings dash-lessLibravatar Stephan Beyer1-1/+1
When you misuse a git command, you are shown the usage string. But this is currently shown in the dashed form. So if you just copy what you see, it will not work, when the dashed form is no longer supported. This patch makes git commands show the dash-less version. For shell scripts that do not specify OPTIONS_SPEC, git-sh-setup.sh generates a dash-less usage string now.

2008-01-18Move sha1_file_to_archive into libgitLibravatar Lars Hjemli1-80/+0
When the specfile (export-subst) attribute was introduced, it added a dependency from archive-{tar|zip}.c to builtin-archive.c. This broke the support for archive-operations in libgit.a since builtin-archive.o doesn't belong in libgit.a. This patch moves the functions required by libgit.a from builtin-archive.c to the new file archive.c (which becomes part of libgit.a).

2007-10-21Change git_connect() to return a struct child_process instead of a pid_t.Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-5/+3
This prepares the API of git_connect() and finish_connect() to operate on a struct child_process. Currently, we just use that object as a placeholder for the pid that we used to return. A follow-up patch will change the implementation of git_connect() and finish_connect() to make full use of the object. Old code had early-return-on-error checks at the calling sites of git_connect(), but since git_connect() dies on errors anyway, these checks were removed.

2007-09-29strbuf change: be sure ->buf is never ever NULL.Libravatar Pierre Habouzit1-3/+2
For that purpose, the ->buf is always initialized with a char * buf living in the strbuf module. It is made a char * so that we can sloppily accept things that perform: sb->buf[0] = '\0', and because you can't pass "" as an initializer for ->buf without making gcc unhappy for very good reasons. strbuf_init/_detach/_grow have been fixed to trust ->alloc and not ->buf anymore. as a consequence strbuf_detach is _mandatory_ to detach a buffer, copying ->buf isn't an option anymore, if ->buf is going to escape from the scope, and eventually be free'd. API changes: * strbuf_setlen now always works, so just make strbuf_reset a convenience macro. * strbuf_detatch takes a size_t* optional argument (meaning it can be NULL) to copy the buffer's len, as it was needed for this refactor to make the code more readable, and working like the callers.

2007-09-16Rewrite convert_to_{git,working_tree} to use strbuf's.Libravatar Pierre Habouzit1-42/+36
* Now, those functions take an "out" strbuf argument, where they store their result if any. In that case, it also returns 1, else it returns 0. * those functions support "in place" editing, in the sense that it's OK to call them this way: convert_to_git(path, sb->buf, sb->len, sb); When doable, conversions are done in place for real, else the strbuf content is just replaced with the new one, transparentely for the caller. If you want to create a new filter working this way, being the accumulation of filter1, filter2, ... filtern, then your meta_filter would be: int meta_filter(..., const char *src, size_t len, struct strbuf *sb) { int ret = 0; ret |= filter1(...., src, len, sb); if (ret) { src = sb->buf; len = sb->len; } ret |= filter2(...., src, len, sb); if (ret) { src = sb->buf; len = sb->len; } .... return ret | filtern(..., src, len, sb); } That's why subfilters the convert_to_* functions called were also rewritten to work this way.

2007-09-13archive: fix subst file generationLibravatar René Scharfe1-3/+1
Before the strbuf conversion, result was a char pointer. The if statement checked for it being not NULL, which meant that no "$Format:...$" string had been found and no replacement had to be made. format_subst() returned NULL in that case -- the caller then simply kept the original file content, as it was unaffected by the expansion. The length of the string being 0 is not the same as the string being NULL (expansion to an empty string vs. no expansion at all), so checking result.len != 0 is not a full replacement for the old NULL check. However, I doubt the subtle optimization explained above resulted in a notable speed-up anyway. Simplify the code and add the tail of the file to the expanded string unconditionally.

2007-09-10Rework pretty_print_commit to use strbufs instead of custom buffers.Libravatar Pierre Habouzit1-23/+16
Also remove the "len" parameter, as: (1) it was used as a max boundary, and every caller used ~0u (2) we check for final NUL no matter what, so it doesn't help for speed. As a result most of the pp_* function takes 3 arguments less, and we need a lot less local variables, this makes the code way more readable, and easier to extend if needed. This patch also fixes some spacing and cosmetic issues.

2007-09-03archive: specfile support (--pretty=format: in archive files)Libravatar René Scharfe1-1/+54
Add support for a new attribute, specfile. Files marked as being specfiles are expanded by git-archive when they are written to an archive. It has no effect on worktree files. The same placeholders as those for the option --pretty=format: of git-log et al. can be used. The attribute is useful for creating auto-updating specfiles. It is limited by the underlying function format_commit_message(), though. E.g. currently there is no placeholder for git-describe like output, and expanded specfiles can't contain NUL bytes. That can be fixed in format_commit_message() later and will then benefit users of git-log, too.

Previous step converted use of strncmp() with literal string mechanically even when the result is only used as a boolean: if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3)) ==> if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo"))) This step manually cleans them up to read: if (!prefixcmp(arg, "foo")) Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-02-20Mechanical conversion to use prefixcmp()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+5
This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including idiotic conversions like if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3)) => if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo"))) This was done by using this script in px.perl #!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) { s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|; } if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) { s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|; } and running: $ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-21Make sure git_connect() always give two file descriptors.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
Earlier, git_connect() returned the same fd twice or two separate fds, depending on the way the connection was made (when we are talking to the other end over a single socket, we used the same fd twice, and when our end is connected to a pipepair we used two). This forced callers who do close() and dup() to really care which was which, and most of the existing callers got this wrong, although without much visible ill effect. Many were closing the same fd twice when we are talking over a single socket, and one was leaking a fd. This fixes it to uniformly use two separate fds, so if somebody wants to close only reader side can just do close() on it without worrying about it accidentally also closing the writer side or vice versa.

2006-09-09Add git-archiveLibravatar Franck Bui-Huu1-0/+228
git-archive is a command to make TAR and ZIP archives of a git tree. It helps prevent a proliferation of git-{format}-tree commands. Instead of directly calling git-{tar,zip}-tree command, it defines a very simple API, that archiver should implement and register in "git-archive.c". This API is made up by 2 functions whose prototype is defined in "archive.h" file. - The first one is used to parse 'extra' parameters which have signification only for the specific archiver. That would allow different archive backends to have different kind of options. - The second one is used to ask to an archive backend to build the archive given some already resolved parameters. The main reason for making this API is to avoid using git-{tar,zip}-tree commands, hence making them useless. Maybe it's time for them to die ? It also implements remote operations by defining a very simple protocol: it first sends the name of the specific uploader followed the repository name (git-upload-tar git://example.org/repo.git). Then it sends options. It's done by sending a sequence of one argument per packet, with prefix "argument ", followed by a flush. The remote protocol is implemented in "git-archive.c" for client side and is triggered by "--remote=<repo>" option. For example, to fetch a TAR archive in a remote repo, you can issue: $ git archive --format=tar --remote=git://xxx/yyy/zzz.git HEAD We choose to not make a new command "git-fetch-archive" for example, avoind one more GIT command which should be nice for users (less commands to remember, keeps existing --remote option).
