"git checkout [<tree-ish>] path..." learned to report the number of paths that have been checked out of the index or the tree-ish, which gives it the same degree of noisy-ness as the case in which the command checks out a branch. * nd/checkout-noisy: t0027: squelch checkout path run outside test_expect_* block checkout: print something when checking out paths
2018-11-14checkout: print something when checking out pathsLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+4
One of the problems with "git checkout" is that it does so many different things and could confuse people specially when we fail to handle ambiguation correctly. One way to help with that is tell the user what sort of operation is actually carried out. When switching branches, we always print something unless --quiet, either - "HEAD is now at ..." - "Reset branch ..." - "Already on ..." - "Switched to and reset ..." - "Switched to a new branch ..." - "Switched to branch ..." Checking out paths however is silent. Print something so that if we got the user intention wrong, they won't waste too much time to find that out. For the remaining cases of checkout we now print either - "Checked out ... paths out of the index" - "Checked out ... paths out of <abbrev hash>" Since the purpose of printing this is to help disambiguate. Only do it when "--" is missing. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-11-06assert NOARG/NONEG behavior of parse-options callbacksLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
When we define a parse-options callback, the flags we put in the option struct must match what the callback expects. For example, a callback which does not handle the "unset" parameter should only be used with PARSE_OPT_NONEG. But since the callback and the option struct are not defined next to each other, it's easy to get this wrong (as earlier patches in this series show). Fortunately, the compiler can help us here: compiling with -Wunused-parameters can show us which callbacks ignore their "unset" parameters (and likewise, ones that ignore "arg" expect to be triggered with PARSE_OPT_NOARG). But after we've inspected a callback and determined that all of its callers use the right flags, what do we do next? We'd like to silence the compiler warning, but do so in a way that will catch any wrong calls in the future. We can do that by actually checking those variables and asserting that they match our expectations. Because this is such a common pattern, we'll introduce some helper macros. The resulting messages aren't as descriptive as we could make them, but the file/line information from BUG() is enough to identify the problem (and anyway, the point is that these should never be seen). Each of the annotated callbacks in this patch triggers -Wunused-parameters, and was manually inspected to make sure all callers use the correct options (so none of these BUGs should be triggerable).

2017-10-06checkout-index: simplify locking logicLibravatar Martin Ågren1-5/+3
`newfd` starts out negative. If we then take the lock, `newfd` will become non-negative. We later check for exactly that property before calling `write_locked_index()`. That is, we are simply using `newfd` as a boolean to keep track of whether we took the lock or not. (We always use `newfd` and `lock_file` together, so they really are mirroring each other.) Drop `newfd` and check with `is_lock_file_locked()` instead. While at it, move the `static struct lock_file` into `cmd_checkout_index()` and make it non-static. It is only used in this function, and after 076aa2cbd (tempfile: auto-allocate tempfiles on heap, 2017-09-05), we can have lockfiles on the stack.

2016-12-07hold_locked_index(): align error handling with hold_lockfile_for_update()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Callers of the hold_locked_index() function pass 0 when they want to prepare to write a new version of the index file without wishing to die or emit an error message when the request fails (e.g. somebody else already held the lock), and pass 1 when they want the call to die upon failure. This option is called LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR by the underlying lockfile API, and the hold_locked_index() function translates the paramter to LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR when calling the hold_lock_file_for_update(). Replace these hardcoded '1' with LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR and stop translating. Callers other than the ones that are replaced with this change pass '0' to the function; no behaviour change is intended with this patch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> --- Among the callers of hold_locked_index() that passes 0: - diff.c::refresh_index_quietly() at the end of "git diff" is an opportunistic update; it leaks the lockfile structure but it is just before the program exits and nobody should care. - builtin/describe.c::cmd_describe(), builtin/commit.c::cmd_status(), sequencer.c::read_and_refresh_cache() are all opportunistic updates and they are OK. - builtin/update-index.c::cmd_update_index() takes a lock upfront but we may end up not needing to update the index (i.e. the entries may be fully up-to-date), in which case we do not need to issue an error upon failure to acquire the lock. We do diagnose and die if we indeed need to update, so it is OK. - wt-status.c::require_clean_work_tree() IS BUGGY. It asks silence, does not check the returned value. Compare with callsites like cmd_describe() and cmd_status() to notice that it is wrong to call update_index_if_able() unconditionally.

2016-02-01checkout-index: disallow "--no-stage" optionLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
We do not really expect people to use "--no-stage", but if they do, git currently segfaults. We could instead have it undo the effects of a previous "--stage", but this gets tricky around the "to_tempfile" flag. We cannot simply reset it to 0, because we don't know if it was set by a previous "--stage=all" or an explicit "--temp" option. We could solve this by setting a flag and resolving to_tempfile later, but it's not worth the effort. Nobody actually wants to use "--no-stage"; we are just trying to fix a potential segfault here. While we're in the area, let's improve the user-facing messages for this option. The error string should be translatable, and we should give some hint in the "-h" output about what can go in the argument field.

2016-02-01checkout-index: handle "--no-index" optionLibravatar Jeff King1-24/+10
The parsing of "--index" is done in a callback, but it does not handle an "unset" option. We don't necessarily expect anyone to use this, but the current behavior is to treat it exactly like "--index", which would probably be surprising. Instead, let's just turn it into an OPT_BOOL, and handle it after we're done parsing. This makes "--no-index" just work (it cancels a previous "--index"). As a bonus, this makes the logic easier to follow. The old code opened the index during the option parsing, leaving the reader to wonder if there was some timing issue (there isn't; none of the other options care that we've opened it). And then if we found that "--prefix" had been given, we had to rollback the index. Now we can simply avoid opening it in the first place. Note that it might make more sense for checkout-index to complain when "--index --prefix=foo" is given (rather than silently ignoring "--index"), but since it has been that way since 415e96c ([PATCH] Implement git-checkout-cache -u to update stat information in the cache., 2005-05-15), it's safer to leave it as-is.

2016-02-01checkout-index: handle "--no-prefix" optionLibravatar Jeff King1-12/+6
We use a custom callback to parse "--prefix", but it does not handle the "unset" case. As a result, passing "--no-prefix" will cause a segfault. We can fix this by switching it to an OPT_STRING, which makes "--no-prefix" counteract a previous "--prefix". Note that this assigns NULL, so we bump our default-case initialization to lower in the main function. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-02-01give "nbuf" strbuf a more meaningful nameLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+6
It's a common pattern in our code to read paths from stdin, separated either by newlines or NULs, and unquote as necessary. In each of these five cases we use "nbuf" to temporarily store the unquoted value. Let's give it the more meaningful name "unquoted", which makes it easier to understand the purpose of the variable. While we're at it, let's also static-initialize all of our strbufs. It's not wrong to call strbuf_init, but it increases the cognitive load on the reader, who might wonder "do we sometimes avoid initializing them? why?".

"git checkout-index --temp=$target $path" did not work correctly for paths outside the current subdirectory in the project. * es/checkout-index-temp: checkout-index: fix --temp relative path mangling t2004: demonstrate broken relative path printing t2004: standardize file naming in symlink test t2004: drop unnecessary write-tree/read-tree t2004: modernize style
2014-12-29checkout-index: fix --temp relative path manglingLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-8/+8
checkout-index --temp only properly prints relative paths which are descendants of the current directory. Paths in ancestor or sibling directories (or their children) are often printed in mangled form. For example: mkdir a bbb && >file && >bbb/file && git update-index --add file bbb/file && cd a && git checkout-index --temp ../file ../bbb/file prints: .merge_file_ooblek le .merge_file_igloo0 b/file rather than the correct: .merge_file_ooblek ../file .merge_file_igloo0 ../bbb/file Internally, given the above example, checkout-index prefixes each input argument with the name of the current directory ("a/", in this case), and then assumes that it can simply skip forward by strlen("a/") bytes to recover the original name. This works for files in the current directory or its descendants, but fails for files in ancestors or siblings (or their children) due to path normalization. For instance, given "../file", "a/" is prepended, giving "a/../file". Path normalization folds out "a/../", resulting in "file". Attempting to recover the original name by skipping strlen("a/") bytes gives the incorrect "le" rather than the desired "../file". Fix this by taking advantage of write_name_quoted_relative() to recover the original name properly, rather than assuming that it can be recovered by skipping strlen(prefix) bytes. As a bonus, this also fixes a bug in which checkout-index --temp accessed and printed memory beyond the end-of-string. For instance, within a subdirectory named "subdirectory", and given argument "../file", prefixing would give "subdirectory/../file", which would become "file" after normalization. checkout-index would then attempt to recover the original name by skipping strlen("subdirectory/") bytes of "file", which placed it well beyond end-of-string. Despite this error, it often appeared to give the correct result, but only due to an accident of implementation which left an apparently correct copy of the path in memory following the normalized value. In particular, handed "subdirectory/../file", in-place processing by normalize_path_copy_len() resulted in "file\0rectory/../file". When checkout-index skipped strlen("subdirectory/") bytes, it ended up back at "../file" and thus appeared to give the correct answer, despite being past end-of-string.

2013-10-24checkout_entry(): clarify the use of topath[] parameterLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The said function has this signature: extern int checkout_entry(struct cache_entry *ce, const struct checkout *state, char *topath); At first glance, it might appear that the caller of checkout_entry() can specify to which path the contents are written out by the last parameter, and it is tempting to add "const" in front of its type. In reality, however, topath[] is to point at a buffer to store the temporary path generated by the callchain originating from this function, and the temporary path is always short, much shorter than the buffer prepared by its only caller in builtin/checkout-index.c. Document the code a bit to clarify so that future callers know how to use the function better. Noticed-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-08-07checkout-index: fix negations of even numbers of -nLibravatar Stefan Beller1-1/+1
The --no-create was parsed with OPT_BOOLEAN, which has a counting up logic implemented. Since b04ba2bb (parse-options: deprecate OPT_BOOLEAN, 2011-09-27) the OPT_BOOLEAN is deprecated and is only a define: /* Deprecated synonym */ #define OPTION_BOOLEAN OPTION_COUNTUP However the variable not_new, which can be counted up by giving --no-create multiple times, is used to set a bit in the struct checkout bitfield (defined in cache.h:969, declared at builtin/checkout-index.c:19): state.not_new = not_new; When assigning a value other than 0 or 1 to a bit, all leading digits but the last are ignored and only the last bit is used for setting the bit variable. Hence the following: # in git.git: $ git status # working directory clean rm COPYING $ git status # deleted: COPYING $ git checkout-index -a -n $ git status # deleted: COPYING # which is expected as we're telling git to not restore or create # files, however: $ git checkout-index -a -n -n $ git status # working directory clean, COPYING is restored again! # That's the bug, we're fixing here. By restraining the variable not_new to a value being definitely 0 or 1 by the macro OPT_BOOL the bug is fixed.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off around 100 choices or something. So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.
