2013-06-18builtin/checkout.c: don't leak memory in check_tracking_nameLibravatar Brandon Casey1-2/+5
remote_find_tracking() populates the query struct with an allocated string in the dst member. So, we do not need to xstrdup() the string, since we can transfer ownership from the query struct (which will go out of scope at the end of this function) to our callback struct, but we must free the string if it will not be used so we will not leak memory. Let's do so. Signed-off-by: Brandon Casey <drafnel@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-04-21checkout: Use remote refspecs when DWIMming tracking branchesLibravatar Johan Herland1-20/+22
The DWIM mode of checkout allows you to run "git checkout foo" when there is no existing local ref or path called "foo", and there is exactly _one_ remote with a remote-tracking branch called "foo". Git will automatically create a new local branch called "foo" using the remote-tracking "foo" as its starting point and configured upstream. For example, consider the following unconventional (but perfectly valid) remote setup: [remote "origin"] fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* [remote "frotz"] fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/* Case 1: Assume both "origin" and "frotz" have remote-tracking branches called "foo", at "refs/remotes/origin/foo" and "refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/foo" respectively. In this case "git checkout foo" should fail, because there is more than one remote with a "foo" branch. Case 2: Assume only "frotz" have a remote-tracking branch called "foo". In this case "git checkout foo" should succeed, and create a local branch "foo" from "refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/foo", using remote branch "foo" from "frotz" as its upstream. The current code hardcodes the assumption that all remote-tracking branches must match the "refs/remotes/$remote/*" pattern (which is true for remotes with "conventional" refspecs, but not true for the "frotz" remote above). When running "git checkout foo", the current code looks for exactly one ref matching "refs/remotes/*/foo", hence in the above example, it fails to find "refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/foo", which causes it to fail both case #1 and #2. The better way to handle the above example is to actually study the fetch refspecs to deduce the candidate remote-tracking branches for "foo"; i.e. assume "foo" is a remote branch being fetched, and then map "refs/heads/foo" through the refspecs in order to get the corresponding remote-tracking branches "refs/remotes/origin/foo" and "refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/foo". Finally we check which of these happens to exist in the local repo, and if there is exactly one, we have an unambiguous match for "git checkout foo", and may proceed. This fixes most of the failing tests introduced in the previous patch. Signed-off-by: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

"git checkout -- <paths>" is usually used to restore all modified files in <paths>. In sparse checkout mode, this command is overloaded with another meaning: to add back all files in <paths> that are excluded by sparse patterns. As the former makes more sense for day-to-day use.

2013-03-27checkout: avoid unnecessary match_pathspec callsLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-7/+36
In checkout_paths() we do this - for all updated items, call match_pathspec - for all items, call match_pathspec (inside unmerge_cache) - for all items, call match_pathspec (for showing "path .. is unmerged) - for updated items, call match_pathspec and update paths That's a lot of duplicate match_pathspec(s) and the function is not exactly cheap to be called so many times, especially on large indexes. This patch makes it call match_pathspec once per updated index entry, save the result in ce_flags and reuse the results in the following loops. The changes in 0a1283b (checkout $tree $path: do not clobber local changes in $path not in $tree - 2011-09-30) limit the affected paths to ones we read from $tree. We do not do anything to other modified entries in this case, so the "for all items" above could be modified to "for all updated items". But.. The command's behavior now is modified slightly: unmerged entries that match $path, but not updated by $tree, are now NOT touched. Although this should be considered a bug fix, not a regression. A new test is added for this change. And while at there, free ps_matched after use. The following command is tested on webkit, 215k entries. The pattern is chosen mainly to make match_pathspec sweat: git checkout -- "*[a-zA-Z]*[a-zA-Z]*[a-zA-Z]*" before after real 0m3.493s 0m2.737s user 0m2.239s 0m1.586s sys 0m1.252s 0m1.151s Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-11-15checkout: print a message when switching unborn branchesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
When we switch to a new branch using checkout, we usually output a message indicating what happened. However, when we switch from an unborn branch to a new branch, we do not print anything, which may leave the user wondering what happened. The reason is that the unborn branch is a special case (see abe1998), and does not follow the usual switch_branches code path. Let's add a similar informational message to the special case to match the usual code path. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-09-11checkout: reorder option handlingLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-77/+112
checkout operates in three different modes. On top of that it tries to be smart by guessing the branch name for switching. This results in messy option handling code. This patch reorders it so that - cmd_checkout() is responsible for parsing, preparing input and determining mode - Code of each mode is in checkout_paths() and checkout_branch(), where sanity checks are performed Another slight improvement is always print branch name (or commit name) when printing errors related ot them. This helps catch the case where an option is mistaken as branch/commit. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-07-25checkout: don't confuse ref and object flagsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
When we are leaving a detached HEAD, we do a revision traversal to check whether we are orphaning any commits, marking the commit we're leaving as the start of the traversal, and all existing refs as uninteresting. Prior to commit 468224e5, we did so by calling for_each_ref, and feeding each resulting refname to setup_revisions. Commit 468224e5 refactored this to simply mark the pending objects, saving an extra lookup. However, it confused the "flags" parameter to the each_ref_fn clalback, which is about the flags we found while looking up the ref with the object flag. Because REF_ISSYMREF ("this ref is a symbolic ref, e.g. refs/remotes/origin/HEAD") happens to be the same bit pattern as SEEN ("we have picked this object up from the pending list and moved it to revs.commits list"), we incorrectly reported that a commit previously at the detached HEAD will become unreachable if the only ref that can reach the commit happens to be pointed at by a symbolic ref.

2012-07-11Strip namelen out of ce_flags into a ce_namelen fieldLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-1/+2
Strip the name length from the ce_flags field and move it into its own ce_namelen field in struct cache_entry. This will both give us a tiny bit of a performance enhancement when working with long pathnames and is a refactoring for more readability of the code. It enhances readability, by making it more clear what is a flag, and where the length is stored and make it clear which functions use stages in comparisions and which only use the length. It also makes CE_NAMEMASK private, so that users don't mistakenly write the name length in the flags.

In abe1998 ("git checkout -b: allow switching out of an unborn branch"), a code-path overly-optimisticly assumed that a branch-name was specified. This is not always the case, and as a result a NULL-pointer was attempted printed to .git/HEAD. This could lead to at least two different failure modes: 1) vsnprintf formated the NULL-string as something useful (e.g "(null)") 2) vsnprintf crashed Neither were very convenient for formatting a new HEAD-reference. To fix this, reintroduce some strictness so we only take this new codepath if a banch-name was specified.
