2017-09-24leak_pending: use `object_array_clear()`, not `free()`Libravatar Martin Ågren1-1/+8
Setting `leak_pending = 1` tells `prepare_revision_walk()` not to release the `pending` array, and makes that the caller's responsibility. See 4a43d374f (revision: add leak_pending flag, 2011-10-01) and 353f5657a (bisect: use leak_pending flag, 2011-10-01). Commit 1da1e07c8 (clean up name allocation in prepare_revision_walk, 2014-10-15) fixed a memory leak in `prepare_revision_walk()` by switching from `free()` to `object_array_clear()`. However, where we use the `leak_pending`-mechanism, we're still only calling `free()`. Use `object_array_clear()` instead. Copy some helpful comments from 353f5657a to the other callers that we update to clarify the memory responsibilities, and to highlight that the commits are not affected when we clear the array -- it is indeed correct to both tidy up the commit flags and clear the object array. Document `leak_pending` in revision.h to help future users get this right.

2017-09-22consistently use "fallthrough" comments in switchesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
Gcc 7 adds -Wimplicit-fallthrough, which can warn when a switch case falls through to the next case. The general idea is that the compiler can't tell if this was intentional or not, so you should annotate any intentional fall-throughs as such, leaving it to complain about any unannotated ones. There's a GNU __attribute__ which can be used for annotation, but of course we'd have to #ifdef it away on non-gcc compilers. Gcc will also recognize specially-formatted comments, which matches our current practice. Let's extend that practice to all of the unannotated sites (which I did look over and verify that they were behaving as intended). Ideally in each case we'd actually give some reasons in the comment about why we're falling through, or what we're falling through to. And gcc does support that with -Wimplicit-fallthrough=2, which relaxes the comment pattern matching to anything that contains "fallthrough" (or a variety of spelling variants). However, this isn't the default for -Wimplicit-fallthrough, nor for -Wextra. In the name of simplicity, it's probably better for us to support the default level, which requires "fallthrough" to be the only thing in the comment (modulo some window dressing like "else" and some punctuation; see the gcc manual for the complete set of patterns). This patch suppresses all warnings due to -Wimplicit-fallthrough. We might eventually want to add that to the DEVELOPER Makefile knob, but we should probably wait until gcc 7 is more widely adopted (since earlier versions will complain about the unknown warning type).

2017-08-03unpack-trees: don't respect submodule.updateLibravatar Brandon Williams1-1/+1
The 'submodule.update' config was historically used and respected by the 'submodule update' command because update handled a variety of different ways it updated a submodule. As we begin teaching other commands about submodules it makes more sense for the different settings of 'submodule.update' to be handled by the individual commands themselves (checkout, rebase, merge, etc) so it shouldn't be respected by the native checkout command. Also remove the overlaying of the repository's config (via using 'submodule_config()') from the commands which use the unpack-trees logic (checkout, read-tree, reset).

2017-06-30convert: add "status=delayed" to filter process protocolLibravatar Lars Schneider1-0/+3
Some `clean` / `smudge` filters may require a significant amount of time to process a single blob (e.g. the Git LFS smudge filter might perform network requests). During this process the Git checkout operation is blocked and Git needs to wait until the filter is done to continue with the checkout. Teach the filter process protocol, introduced in edcc8581 ("convert: add filter.<driver>.process option", 2016-10-16), to accept the status "delayed" as response to a filter request. Upon this response Git continues with the checkout operation. After the checkout operation Git calls "finish_delayed_checkout" which queries the filter for remaining blobs. If the filter is still working on the completion, then the filter is expected to block. If the filter has completed all remaining blobs then an empty response is expected. Git has a multiple code paths that checkout a blob. Support delayed checkouts only in `clone` (in unpack-trees.c) and `checkout` operations for now. The optimization is most effective in these code paths as all files of the tree are processed.

2017-05-12usability: don't ask questions if no reply is requiredLibravatar Jean-Noel Avila1-3/+2
There has been a bug report by a corporate user that stated that "spelling mistake of stash followed by a yes prints character 'y' infinite times." This analysis was false. When the spelling of a command contains errors, the git program tries to help the user by providing candidates which are close to the unexisting command. E.g Git prints the following: git: 'stahs' is not a git command. See 'git --help'. Did you mean this? stash and then exits. The problem with this hint is that it is not formally indicated as an hint and the user is in fact encouraged to reply to the question, whereas the Git command is already finished. The user was unlucky enough that it was the command he was looking for, and replied "yes" on the command line, effectively launching the `yes` program. The initial error is that the Git programs, when launched in command-line mode (without interaction) must not ask questions, because these questions would normally require a user input as a reply that they won't handle indeed. That's a source of confusion on UX level. To improve the general usability of the Git suite, the following rule was applied: if the sentence * appears in a non-interactive session * is printed last before exit * is a question addressing the user ("you") the sentence is turned into affirmative and proposes the option. The basic rewording of the question sentences has been extended to other spots found in the source.

2017-05-08Convert lookup_commit* to struct object_idLibravatar brian m. carlson1-3/+3
Convert lookup_commit, lookup_commit_or_die, lookup_commit_reference, and lookup_commit_reference_gently to take struct object_id arguments. Introduce a temporary in parse_object buffer in order to convert this function. This is required since in order to convert parse_object and parse_object_buffer, lookup_commit_reference_gently and lookup_commit_or_die would need to be converted. Not introducing a temporary would therefore require that lookup_commit_or_die take a struct object_id *, but lookup_commit would take unsigned char *, leaving a confusing and hard-to-use interface. parse_object_buffer will lose this temporary in a later patch.

2017-03-30avoid using fixed PATH_MAX buffers for refsLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+2
Many functions which handle refs use a PATH_MAX-sized buffer to do so. This is mostly reasonable as we have to write loose refs into the filesystem, and at least on Linux the 4K PATH_MAX is big enough that nobody would care. But: 1. The static PATH_MAX is not always the filesystem limit. 2. On other platforms, PATH_MAX may be much smaller. 3. As we move to alternate ref storage, we won't be bound by filesystem limits. Let's convert these to heap buffers so we don't have to worry about truncation or size limits. We may want to eventually constrain ref lengths for sanity and to prevent malicious names, but we should do so consistently across all platforms, and in a central place (like the ref code).

2017-03-02checkout: restrict @-expansions when finding branchLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
When we parse "git checkout $NAME", we try to interpret $NAME as a local branch-name. If it is, then we point HEAD to that branch. Otherwise, we detach the HEAD at whatever commit $NAME points to. We do the interpretation by calling strbuf_branchname(), and then blindly sticking "refs/heads/" on the front. This leads to nonsense results when expansions like "@{upstream}" or "@" point to something besides a local branch. We end up with a local branch name like "refs/heads/origin/master" or "refs/heads/HEAD". Normally this has no user-visible effect because those branches don't exist, and so we fallback to feeding the result to get_sha1(), which resolves them correctly. But as the new test in t3204 shows, there are corner cases where the effect is observable, and we check out the wrong local branch rather than detaching to the correct one.

2017-03-02interpret_branch_name: allow callers to restrict expansionsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The interpret_branch_name() function converts names like @{-1} and @{upstream} into branch names. The expanded ref names are not fully qualified, and may be outside of the refs/heads/ namespace (e.g., "@" expands to "HEAD", and "@{upstream}" is likely to be in "refs/remotes/"). This is OK for callers like dwim_ref() which are primarily interested in resolving the resulting name, no matter where it is. But callers like "git branch" treat the result as a branch name in refs/heads/. When we expand to a ref outside that namespace, the results are very confusing (e.g., "git branch @" tries to create refs/heads/HEAD, which is nonsense). Callers can't know from the returned string how the expansion happened (e.g., did the user really ask for a branch named "HEAD", or did we do a bogus expansion?). One fix would be to return some out-parameters describing the types of expansion that occurred. This has the benefit that the caller can generate precise error messages ("I understood @{upstream} to mean origin/master, but that is a remote tracking branch, so you cannot create it as a local name"). However, out-parameters make the function interface somewhat cumbersome. Instead, let's do the opposite: let the caller tell us which elements to expand. That's easier to pass in, and none of the callers give more precise error messages than "@{upstream} isn't a valid branch name" anyway (which should be sufficient). The strbuf_branchname() function needs a similar parameter, as most of the callers access interpret_branch_name() through it. We can break the callers down into two groups: 1. Callers that are happy with any kind of ref in the result. We pass "0" here, so they continue to work without restrictions. This includes merge_name(), the reflog handling in add_pending_object_with_path(), and substitute_branch_name(). This last is what powers dwim_ref(). 2. Callers that have funny corner cases (mostly in git-branch and git-checkout). These need to make use of the new parameter, but I've left them as "0" in this patch, and will address them individually in follow-on patches.

The "core.logAllRefUpdates" that used to be boolean has been enhanced to take 'always' as well, to record ref updates to refs other than the ones that are expected to be updated (i.e. branches, remote-tracking branches and notes). * cw/log-updates-for-all-refs-really: doc: add note about ignoring '--no-create-reflog' update-ref: add test cases for bare repository refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = always config: add markup to core.logAllRefUpdates doc

When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old history immediately). However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than the performance implications of keeping the log around. This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

2016-12-07hold_locked_index(): align error handling with hold_lockfile_for_update()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
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.

Code clean-up. * jk/create-branch-remove-unused-param: create_branch: drop unused "head" parameter
2016-11-09create_branch: drop unused "head" parameterLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
This function used to have the caller pass in the current value of HEAD, in order to make sure we didn't clobber HEAD. In 55c4a6730, that logic moved to validate_new_branchname(), which just resolves HEAD itself. The parameter to create_branch is now unused. Since we have to update and re-wrap the docstring describing the parameters anyway, let's take this opportunity to break it out into a list, which makes it easier to find the parameters.

"git checkout <word>" does not follow the usual disambiguation rules when the <word> can be both a rev and a path, to allow checking out a branch 'foo' in a project that happens to have a file 'foo' in the working tree without having to disambiguate. This was poorly documented and the check was incorrect when the command was run from a subdirectory. * nd/checkout-disambiguation: checkout: fix ambiguity check in subdir checkout.txt: document a common case that ignores ambiguation rules checkout: add some spaces between code and comment

2016-09-15add: modify already added files when --chmod is givenLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-1/+1
When the chmod option was added to git add, it was hooked up to the diff machinery, meaning that it only works when the version in the index differs from the version on disk. As the option was supposed to mirror the chmod option in update-index, which always changes the mode in the index, regardless of the status of the file, make sure the option behaves the same way in git add.
