2014-06-23builtin/clone.c: detect a clone starting at a tag correctlyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
31b808a0 (clone --single: limit the fetch refspec to fetched branch, 2012-09-20) tried to see if the given "branch" to follow is actually a tag at the remote repository by checking with "refs/tags/" but it incorrectly used strstr(3); it is actively wrong to treat a "branch" "refs/heads/refs/tags/foo" and use the logic for the "refs/tags/" ref hierarchy. What the code really wanted to do is to see if it starts with "refs/tags/". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-12-10clone: use git protocol for cloning shallow repo locallyLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+9
clone_local() does not handle $SRC/shallow. It could be made so, but it's simpler to use fetch-pack/upload-pack instead. This used to be caught by the check in upload-pack, which is triggered by transport_get_remote_refs(), even in local clone case. The check is now gone and check_everything_connected() should catch the result incomplete repo. But check_everything_connected() will soon be skipped in local clone case, opening a door to corrupt repo. This patch should close that door.

2013-12-10clone: support remote shallow repositoryLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+1
Cloning from a shallow repository does not follow the "8 steps for new .git/shallow" because if it does we need to get through step 6 for all refs. That means commit walking down to the bottom. Instead the rule to create .git/shallow is simpler and, more importantly, cheap: if a shallow commit is found in the pack, it's probably used (i.e. reachable from some refs), so we add it. Others are dropped. One may notice this method seems flawed by the word "probably". A shallow commit may not be reachable from any refs at all if it's attached to an object island (a group of objects that are not reachable by any refs). If that object island is not complete, a new fetch request may send more objects to connect it to some ref. At that time, because we incorrectly installed the shallow commit in this island, the user will not see anything after that commit (fsck is still ok). This is not desired. Given that object islands are rare (C Git never sends such islands for security reasons) and do not really harm the repository integrity, a tradeoff is made to surprise the user occasionally but work faster everyday. A new option --strict could be added later that follows exactly the 8 steps. "git prune" can also learn to remove dangling objects _and_ the shallow commits that are attached to them from .git/shallow.

2013-09-18clone: always set transport optionsLibravatar Jeff King1-16/+14
A clone will always create a transport struct, whether we are cloning locally or using an actual protocol. In the local case, we only use the transport to get the list of refs, and then transfer the objects out-of-band. However, there are many options that we do not bother setting up in the local case. For the most part, these are noops, because they only affect the object-fetching stage (e.g., the --depth option). However, some options do have a visible impact. For example, giving the path to upload-pack via "-u" does not currently work for a local clone, even though we need upload-pack to get the ref list. We can just drop the conditional entirely and set these options for both local and non-local clones. Rather than keep track of which options impact the object versus the ref fetching stage, we can simply let the noops be noops (and the cost of setting the options in the first place is not high). The one exception is that we also check that the transport provides both a "get_refs_list" and a "fetch" method. We will now be checking the former for both cases (which is good, since a transport that cannot fetch refs would not work for a local clone), and we tweak the conditional to check for a "fetch" only when we are non-local.

2013-09-18clone: treat "checking connectivity" like other progressLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
When stderr does not point to a tty, we typically suppress "we are now in this phase" progress reporting (e.g., we ask the server not to send us "counting objects" and the like). The new "checking connectivity" message is in the same vein, and should be suppressed. Since clone relies on the transport code to make the decision, we can simply sneak a peek at the "progress" field of the transport struct. That properly takes into account both the verbosity and progress options we were given, as well as the result of isatty(). Note that we do not set up that progress flag for a local clone, as we do not fetch using the transport at all. That's acceptable here, though, because we also do not perform a connectivity check in that case. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-09-18clone: send diagnostic messages to stderrLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+5
Putting messages like "Cloning into.." and "done" on stdout is un-Unix and uselessly clutters the stdout channel. Send them to stderr. We have to tweak two tests to accommodate this: 1. t5601 checks for doubled output due to forking, and doesn't actually care where the output goes; adjust it to check stderr. 2. t5702 is trying to test whether progress output was sent to stderr, but naively does so by checking whether stderr produced any output. Instead, have it look for "%", a token found in progress output but not elsewhere (and which lets us avoid hard-coding the progress text in the test). This should not regress any scripts that try to parse the current output, as the output is already internationalized and therefore unstable.

2013-08-05Remove deprecated OPTION_BOOLEAN for parsing argumentsLibravatar Stefan Beller1-4/+3
As of b04ba2bb4 OPTION_BOOLEAN was deprecated. This commit removes all occurrences of OPTION_BOOLEAN. In b04ba2bb4 Junio suggested to replace it with either OPTION_SET_INT or OPTION_COUNTUP instead. However a pattern, which occurred often with the OPTION_BOOLEAN was a hidden boolean parameter. So I defined OPT_HIDDEN_BOOL as an additional possible parse option in parse-options.h to make life easy. The OPT_HIDDEN_BOOL was used in checkout, clone, commit, show-ref. The only exception, where there was need to fiddle with OPTION_SET_INT was log and notes. However in these two files there is also a pattern, so we could think of introducing OPT_NONEG_BOOL.

2013-07-08clone: drop connectivity check for local clonesLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+7
Commit 0433ad1 (clone: run check_everything_connected, 2013-03-25) added the same connectivity check to clone that we use for fetching. The intent was to provide enough safety checks that "git clone git://..." could be counted on to detect bit errors and other repo corruption, and not silently propagate them to the clone. For local clones, this turns out to be a bad idea, for two reasons: 1. Local clones use hard linking (or even shared object stores), and so complete far more quickly. The time spent on the connectivity check is therefore proportionally much more painful. 2. Local clones do not actually meet our safety guarantee anyway. The connectivity check makes sure we have all of the objects we claim to, but it does not check for bit errors. We will notice bit errors in commits and trees, but we do not load blob objects at all. Whereas over the pack transport, we actually recompute the sha1 of each object in the incoming packfile; bit errors change the sha1 of the object, which is then caught by the connectivity check. This patch drops the connectivity check in the local case. Note that we have to revert the changes from 0433ad1 to t5710, as we no longer notice the corruption during clone. We could go a step further and provide a "verify even local clones" option, but it is probably not worthwhile. You can already spell that as "cd foo.git && git fsck && git clone ." or as "git clone --no-local foo.git". Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-05-28clone: open a shortcut for connectivity checkLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-3/+8
In order to make sure the cloned repository is good, we run "rev-list --objects --not --all $new_refs" on the repository. This is expensive on large repositories. This patch attempts to mitigate the impact in this special case. In the "good" clone case, we only have one pack. If all of the following are met, we can be sure that all objects reachable from the new refs exist, which is the intention of running "rev-list ...": - all refs point to an object in the pack - there are no dangling pointers in any object in the pack - no objects in the pack point to objects outside the pack The second and third checks can be done with the help of index-pack as a slight variation of --strict check (which introduces a new condition for the shortcut: pack transfer must be used and the number of objects large enough to call index-pack). The first is checked in check_everything_connected after we get an "ok" from index-pack. "index-pack + new checks" is still faster than the current "index-pack + rev-list", which is the whole point of this patch. If any of the conditions fail, we fall back to the good old but expensive "rev-list ..". In that case it's even more expensive because we have to pay for the new checks in index-pack. But that should only happen when the other side is either buggy or malicious.

Nothing checks for the existence or type of the path as supplied by the user; checks are only done for particular contents of the supposed directory, so we have no way to know the status of the supplied path. Telling the user that a directory doesn't exist when that isn't actually known may lead him or her on the wrong path to finding the problem. Instead just state that the entered path is not a local repository which is really all that is known about it. It could be more helpful to state the actual paths which were checked, but I believe that giving a good description of that would be too verbose for a simple error message and would be too dependent on implementation details.

2013-03-29clone: leave repo in place after checkout errorsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+24
If we manage to clone a remote repository but run into an error in the checkout, it is probably sane to leave the repo directory in place. That lets the user examine the situation without spending time to re-clone from the remote (which may be a lengthy process). Rather than try to convert each die() from the checkout code path into an error(), we simply set a flag that tells the "remove_junk" atexit function to print a helpful message and leave the repo in place. Note that the test added in this patch actually passes without the code change. The reason is that the cleanup code is buggy; we chdir into the working tree for the checkout, but still may use relative paths to remove the directories (which means if you cloned into "foo", we would accidentally remove "foo" from the working tree!). There's no point in fixing it now, since this patch means we will never try to remove anything after the chdir, anyway.

When clone is populating the working tree, it ignores the return status from unpack_trees; this means we may report a successful clone, even when the checkout fails. When checkout fails, we may want to leave the $GIT_DIR in place, as it might be possible to recover the data through further use of "git checkout" (e.g., if the checkout failed due to a transient error, disk full, etc). However, we already die on a number of other checkout-related errors, so this patch follows that pattern. In addition to marking a now-passing test, we need to adjust t5710, which blindly assumed it could make bogus clones of very deep alternates hierarchies.

The --separate-git-dir option was introduced to make it simple to put the git directory somewhere outside the worktree, for example when cloning a repository for use as a submodule. It was not intended for use when creating a bare repository. In that case there is no worktree and it is more natural to directly clone the repository and create a .git file as separate steps: git clone --bare /path/to/repo.git bar.git printf 'gitdir: bar.git\n' >foo.git Forbid the combination, making the command easier to explain.

When "git clone --separate-git-dir" is interrupted, we failed to remove the real location we created the repository. * jl/interrupt-clone-remove-separate-git-dir: clone: support atomic operation with --separate-git-dir
2013-01-05clone: support atomic operation with --separate-git-dirLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-1/+3
Since b57fb80a7d (init, clone: support --separate-git-dir for .git file) git clone supports the --separate-git-dir option to create the git dir outside the work tree. But when that option is used, the git dir won't be deleted in case the clone fails like it would be without this option. This makes clone lose its atomicity as in case of a failure a partly set up git dir is left behind. A real world example where this leads to problems is when "git submodule update" fails to clone a submodule and later calls to "git submodule update" stumble over the partially set up git dir and try to revive the submodule from there, which then fails with a not very user friendly error message. Fix that by updating the junk_git_dir variable (used to remember if and what git dir should be removed in case of failure) to the new value given with the --seperate-git-dir option. Also add a test for this to t5600 (and while at it fix the former last test to not cd into a directory to test for its existence but use "test -d" instead).

2012-10-08Merge branch 'rt/maint-clone-single' into maintLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-14/+51
A repository created with "git clone --single" had its fetch refspecs set up just like a clone without "--single", leading the subsequent "git fetch" to slurp all the other branches, defeating the whole point of specifying "only this branch". * rt/maint-clone-single: clone --single: limit the fetch refspec to fetched branch
2012-10-01Merge branch 'rt/maint-clone-single'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-14/+51
Running "git fetch" in a repository made with "git clone --single" slurps all the branches, defeating the point of "--single". * rt/maint-clone-single: clone --single: limit the fetch refspec to fetched branch
2012-09-20clone --single: limit the fetch refspec to fetched branchLibravatar Ralf Thielow1-14/+51
After running "git clone --single", the resulting repository has the usual default "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*" wildcard fetch refspec installed, which means that a subsequent "git fetch" will end up grabbing all the other branches. Update the fetch refspec to cover only the singly cloned ref instead to correct this. That means: If "--single" is used without "--branch" or "--mirror", the fetch refspec covers the branch on which remote's HEAD points to. If "--single" is used with "--branch", it'll cover only the branch specified in the "--branch" option. If "--single" is combined with "--mirror", then it'll cover all refs of the cloned repository. If "--single" is used with "--branch" that specifies a tag, then it'll cover only the ref for this tag.
