2013-01-21Merge branch 'nd/clone-no-separate-git-dir-with-bare'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
Forbid a useless combination of options to "git clone". * nd/clone-no-separate-git-dir-with-bare: clone: forbid --bare --separate-git-dir <dir>
2013-01-10clone: forbid --bare --separate-git-dir <dir>Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+2
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.

2013-01-10Merge branch 'jl/interrupt-clone-remove-separate-git-dir'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+3
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.

2012-07-09Restore umasks influence on the permissions of work tree created by cloneLibravatar Alex Riesen1-1/+1
The original version of the git-clone just used mkdir(1) to create the working directories. The version rewritten in C creates all directories inside the working tree by using the mode argument of 0777 when calling mkdir(2) to let the umask take effect. But the top-level directory of the working tree is created by passing the mode argument of 0755 to mkdir(2), which results in an overly tight restriction if the user wants to make directories group writable with a looser umask like 002.

By default, progress output is disabled if stderr is not a terminal. The --progress option can be used to force progress output anyways. Conversely, --no-progress does not force progress output.

2012-02-02standardize and improve lookup rules for external local reposLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
When you specify a local repository on the command line of clone, ls-remote, upload-pack, receive-pack, or upload-archive, or in a request to git-daemon, we perform a little bit of lookup magic, doing things like looking in working trees for .git directories and appending ".git" for bare repos. For clone, this magic happens in get_repo_path. For everything else, it happens in enter_repo. In both cases, there are some ambiguous or confusing cases that aren't handled well, and there is one case that is not handled the same by both methods. This patch tries to provide (and test!) standard, sensible lookup rules for both code paths. The intended changes are: 1. When looking up "foo", we have always preferred a working tree "foo" (containing "foo/.git" over the bare "foo.git". But we did not prefer a bare "foo" over "foo.git". With this patch, we do so. 2. We would select directories that existed but didn't actually look like git repositories. With this patch, we make sure a selected directory looks like a git repo. Not only is this more sensible in general, but it will help anybody who is negatively affected by change (1) negatively (e.g., if they had "foo.git" next to its separate work tree "foo", and expect to keep finding "foo.git" when they reference "foo"). 3. The enter_repo code path would, given "foo", look for "foo.git/.git" (i.e., do the ".git" append magic even for a repo with working tree). The clone code path did not; with this patch, they now behave the same. In the unlikely case of a working tree overlaying a bare repo (i.e., a ".git" directory _inside_ a bare repo), we continue to treat it as a working tree (prefering the "inner" .git over the bare repo). This is mainly because the combination seems nonsensical, and I'd rather stick with existing behavior on the off chance that somebody is relying on it.

2012-01-24clone: fix up delay cloning conditionsLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-6/+14
6f48d39 (clone: delay cloning until after remote HEAD checking - 2012-01-16) allows us to perform some checks on remote refs before the actual cloning happens. But not all transport types support this. Remote helper with "import" capability will not return complete ref information until fetch is performed and therefore the clone cannot be delayed. foreign_vcs field in struct remote was used to detect this kind of transport and save the result. This is a mistake because foreign_vcs is designed to override url-based transport detection. As a result, if the same "struct transport *" object is used on many different urls and one of them attached remote transport, the following urls will be mistakenly attached to the same transport. This fault is worked around by dad0b3d (push: do not let configured foreign-vcs permanently clobbered - 2012-01-23) To fix this, detect incomplete refs from transport_get_remote_refs() by SHA-1. Incomplete ones must have null SHA-1 (*). Then revert changes related to foreign_cvs field in 6f48d39 and dad0b3d. A good thing from this change is that cloning smart http transport can also be delayed. Earlier it falls into the same category "remote transport, no delay". (*) Theoretically if one of the remote refs happens to have null SHA-1, it will trigger false alarm and the clone will not be delayed. But that chance may be too small for us to pay attention to.

2012-01-17write_remote_refs(): create packed (rather than extra) refsLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-2/+1
write_remote_refs() creates new packed refs from references obtained from the remote repository, which is "out of thin air" as far as the local repository is concerned. Previously it did this by creating "extra" refs, then calling pack_refs() to bake them into the packed-refs file. Instead, create packed refs (in the packed reference cache) directly, then call pack_refs(). Aside from being more logical, this is another step towards removing extra refs entirely.

2011-08-23clone: clone from a repository with relative alternatesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-23/+68
Cloning from a local repository blindly copies or hardlinks all the files under objects/ hierarchy. This results in two issues: - If the repository cloned has an "objects/info/alternates" file, and the command line of clone specifies --reference, the ones specified on the command line get overwritten by the copy from the original repository. - An entry in a "objects/info/alternates" file can specify the object stores it borrows objects from as a path relative to the "objects/" directory. When cloning a repository with such an alternates file, if the new repository is not sitting next to the original repository, such relative paths needs to be adjusted so that they can be used in the new repository. This updates add_to_alternates_file() to take the path to the alternate object store, including the "/objects" part at the end (earlier, it was taking the path to $GIT_DIR and was adding "/objects" itself), as it is technically possible to specify in objects/info/alternates file the path of a directory whose name does not end with "/objects".

2011-06-22clone: accept config options on the command lineLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+20
Clone does all of init, "remote add", fetch, and checkout without giving the user a chance to intervene and set any configuration. This patch allows you to set config options in the newly created repository after the clone, but before we do any other operations. In many cases, this is a minor convenience over something like: git clone git://... git config core.whatever true But in some cases, it can bring extra efficiency by changing how the fetch or checkout work. For example, setting line-ending config before the checkout avoids having to re-checkout all of the contents with the correct line endings. It also provides a mechanism for passing information to remote helpers during a clone; the helpers may read the git config to influence how they operate.
