2007-09-14Simplify cache APILibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
Earlier, add_file_to_index() invalidated the path in the cache-tree but remove_file_from_cache() did not, and the user of the latter needed to invalidate the entry himself. This led to a few bugs due to missed invalidate calls already. This patch makes the management of cache-tree less error prone by making more invalidate calls from lower level cache API functions. The rules are: - If you are going to write the index, you should either maintain cache_tree correctly. - If you cannot, alternatively you can remove the entire cache_tree by calling cache_tree_free() before you call write_cache(). - When you modify the index, cache_tree_invalidate_path() should be called with the path you are modifying, to discard the entry from the cache-tree structure. - The following cache API functions exported from read-cache.c (and the macro whose names have "cache" instead of "index") automatically call cache_tree_invalidate_path() for you: - remove_file_from_index(); - add_file_to_index(); - add_index_entry(); You can modify the index bypassing the above API functions (e.g. find an existing cache entry from the index and modify it in place). You need to call cache_tree_invalidate_path() yourself in such a case. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-07-13More permissive "git-rm --cached" behavior without -f.Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-6/+26
In the previous behavior, "git-rm --cached" (without -f) had the same restriction as "git-rm". This forced the user to use the -f flag in situations which weren't actually dangerous, like: $ git add foo # oops, I didn't want this $ git rm --cached foo # back to initial situation Previously, the index had to match the file *and* the HEAD. With --cached, the index must now match the file *or* the HEAD. The behavior without --cached is unchanged, but provides better error messages.

2007-04-03_GIT_INDEX_OUTPUT: allow plumbing to output to an alternative index file.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
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>
2007-03-27git-rm: don't remove newly added file without -fLibravatar Jeff King1-14/+4
Given this set of commands: $ echo "newly added file" >new $ git add new $ git rm new the file "new" was previously removed from the working directory and the index. Because it was not in HEAD, it is available only by searching for unreachable objects. Instead, we now err on the safe side and refuse to remove a file which is not referenced by HEAD.

2007-01-11git-rm: do not fail on already removed file.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+5
Often the user would do "/bin/rm foo" before telling git, but then want to tell git about it. "git rm foo" however would fail because it cannot unlink(2) foo. Treat ENOENT error return from unlink(2) as if a successful removal happened. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-25git-rm: update to saner semanticsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-20/+103
This updates the "git rm" command with saner semantics suggested on the list earlier with: Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0612020919400.3476@woody.osdl.org> Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0612040737120.3476@woody.osdl.org> The command still validates that the given paths all talk about sensible paths to avoid mistakes (e.g. "git rm fiel" when file "fiel" does not exist would error out -- user meant to remove "file"), and it has further safety checks described next. The biggest difference is that the paths are removed from both index and from the working tree (if you have an exotic need to remove paths only from the index, you can use the --cached option). The command refuses to remove if the copy on the working tree does not match the index, or if the index and the HEAD does not match. You can defeat this check with -f option. This safety check has two exceptions: if the working tree file does not exist to begin with, that technically does not match the index but it is allowed. This is to allow this CVS style command sequence: rm <path> && git rm <path> Also if the index is unmerged at the <path>, you can use "git rm <path>" to declare that the result of the merge loses that path, and the above safety check does not trigger; requiring the file to match the index in this case forces the user to do "git update-index file && git rm file", which is just crazy. To recursively remove all contents from a directory, you need to pass -r option, not just the directory name as the <path>. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-09-02Replace uses of strdup with xstrdup.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-1/+1
Like xmalloc and xrealloc xstrdup dies with a useful message if the native strdup() implementation returns NULL rather than a valid pointer. I just tried to use xstrdup in new code and found it to be missing. However I expected it to be present as xmalloc and xrealloc are already commonly used throughout the code. [jc: removed the part that deals with last_XXX, which I am finding more and more dubious these days.] Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-08-12Better error message when we are unable to lock the index fileLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+1
Most of the callers except the one in refs.c use the function to update the index file. Among the index writers, everybody except write-tree dies if they cannot open it for writing. This gives the function an extra argument, to tell it to die when it cannot create a new file as the lockfile. The only caller that does not have to die is write-tree, because updating the index for the cache-tree part is optional and not being able to do so does not affect the correctness. I think we do not have to be so careful and make the failure into die() the same way as other callers, but that would be a different patch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-05-19Add builtin "git rm" commandLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+150
This changes semantics very subtly, because it adds a new atomicity guarantee. In particular, if you "git rm" several files, it will now do all or nothing. The old shell-script really looped over the removed files one by one, and would basically randomly fail in the middle if "-f" was used and one of the files didn't exist in the working directory. This C builtin one will not re-write the index after each remove, but instead remove all files at once. However, that means that if "-f" is used (to also force removal of the file from the working directory), and some files have already been removed from the workspace, it won't stop in the middle in some half-way state like the old one did. So what happens is that if the _first_ file fails to be removed with "-f", we abort the whole "git rm". But once we've started removing, we don't leave anything half done. If some of the other files don't exist, we'll just ignore errors of removal from the working tree. This is only an issue with "-f", of course. I think the new behaviour is strictly an improvement, but perhaps more importantly, it is _different_. As a special case, the semantics are identical for the single-file case (which is the only one our test-suite seems to test). The other question is what to do with leading directories. The old "git rm" script didn't do anything, which is somewhat inconsistent. This one will actually clean up directories that have become empty as a result of removing the last file, but maybe we want to have a flag to decide the behaviour?
