"git clone --dissociate" runs a big "git repack" process at the end, and it helps to close file descriptors that are open on the packs and their idx files before doing so on filesystems that cannot remove a file that is still open. * js/clone-dissociate: clone --dissociate: avoid locking pack files sha1_file.c: add a function to release all packs sha1_file: consolidate code to close a pack's file descriptor t5700: demonstrate a Windows file locking issue with `git clone --dissociate`
2015-10-07clone --dissociate: avoid locking pack filesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+3
When `git clone` is asked to dissociate the repository from the reference repository whose objects were used, it is quite possible that the pack files need to be repacked. In that case, the pack files need to be deleted that were originally hard-links to the reference repository's pack files. On platforms where a file cannot be deleted if another process still holds a handle on it, we therefore need to take pains to release all pack files and indexes before dissociating. This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/446 The test case to demonstrate the breakage technically does not need to be run on Linux or MacOSX. It won't hurt, either, though.

2015-08-10get_repo_path: refactor path-allocationLibravatar Jeff King1-14/+29
The get_repo_path function calls mkpath() and then does some non-trivial operations on it, like calling is_git_directory() and read_gitfile(). These are actually OK (they do not use more pathname static buffers themselves), but it takes a fair bit of work to verify. Let's use our own strbuf to store the path, and we can simply reuse it for each iteration of the loop (we can even avoid rewriting the beginning part, since we are trying a series of suffixes). To make the strbuf cleanup easier, we split out a thin wrapper. As a bonus, this wrapper can factor out the canonicalization that happens in all of the early-return code paths.

2015-08-10clone: abort if no dir name could be guessedLibravatar Patrick Steinhardt1-0/+4
Due to various components of the URI being stripped off it may happen that we fail to guess a directory name.

2015-08-10clone: do not use port number as dir nameLibravatar Patrick Steinhardt1-0/+17
If the URI contains a port number and the URI's path component is empty we fail to guess a sensible directory name. E.g. cloning a repository 'ssh://example.com:2222/' we guess a directory name '2222' where we would want the hostname only, e.g. 'example.com'. We need to take care to not drop trailing port-like numbers in certain cases. E.g. when cloning a repository 'foo/bar:2222.git' we want to guess the directory name '2222' instead of 'bar'. Thus, we have to first check the stripped URI for path separators and only strip port numbers if there are path separators present. This heuristic breaks when cloning a repository 'bar:2222.git', though. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-08-10clone: do not include authentication data in guessed dirLibravatar Patrick Steinhardt1-10/+31
If the URI contains authentication data and the URI's path component is empty, we fail to guess a sensible directory name. E.g. cloning a repository 'ssh://user:password@example.com/' we guess a directory name 'password@example.com' where we would want the hostname only, e.g. 'example.com'. The naive way of just adding '@' as a path separator would break cloning repositories like 'foo/bar@baz.git' (which would currently become 'bar@baz' but would then become 'baz' only). Instead fix this by first dropping the scheme and then greedily scanning for an '@' sign until we find the first path separator.

2015-08-10clone: use computed length in guess_dir_nameLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
Commit 7e837c6 (clone: simplify string handling in guess_dir_name(), 2015-07-09) changed clone to use strip_suffix instead of hand-rolled pointer manipulation. However, strip_suffix will strip from the end of a NUL-terminated string, and we may have already stripped some characters (like directory separators, or "/.git"). This leads to commands like: git clone host:foo.git/ failing to strip the ".git". We must instead convert our pointer arithmetic into a computed length and feed that to strip_suffix_mem, which will then reduce the length further for us. It would be nicer if we could drop the pointer manipulation entirely, and just continually strip using strip_suffix. But that doesn't quite work for two reasons: 1. The early suffixes we're stripping are not constant; we need to look for is_dir_sep, which could be one of several characters. 2. Mid-way through the stripping we compute the pointer "start", which shows us the beginning of the pathname. Which really give us two lengths to work with: the offset from the start of the string, and from the start of the path. By using pointers for the early part, we can just compute the length from "start" when we need it.

2015-06-22initial_ref_transaction_commit(): function for initial ref creationLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-4/+14
"git clone" uses shortcuts when creating the initial set of references: * It writes them directly to packed-refs. * It doesn't lock the individual references (though it does lock the packed-refs file). * It doesn't check for refname conflicts between two new references or between one new reference and any hypothetical old ones. * It doesn't create reflog entries for the reference creations. This functionality was implemented in builtin/clone.c. But really that file shouldn't have such intimate knowledge of how references are stored. So provide a new function in the refs API, initial_ref_transaction_commit(), which can be used for initial reference creation. The new function is based on the ref_transaction interface. This means that we can make some other functions private to the refs module. That will be done in a followup commit. It would seem to make sense to add a test here that there are no existing references, because that is how the function *should* be used. But in fact, the "testgit" remote helper appears to call it *after* having set up refs/remotes/<name>/HEAD and refs/remotes/<name>/master, so we can't be so strict. For now, the function trusts its caller to only call it when it makes sense. Future commits will add some more limited sanity checks.

2015-03-19clone: initialize atexit cleanup handler earlierLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+5
If clone fails, we generally try to clean up any directories we've created. We do this by installing an atexit handler, so that we don't have to manually trigger cleanup. However, since we install this after touching the filesystem, any errors between our initial mkdir() and our atexit() call will result in us leaving a crufty directory around. We can fix this by moving our atexit() call earlier. It's OK to do it before the junk_work_tree variable is set, because remove_junk makes sure the variable is initialized. This means we "activate" the handler by assigning to the junk_work_tree variable, which we now bump down to just after we call mkdir(). We probably do not want to do it before, because a plausible reason for mkdir() to fail is EEXIST (i.e., we are racing with another "git init"), and we would not want to remove their work. OTOH, this is probably not that big a deal; we will allow cloning into an empty directory (and skip the mkdir), which is already racy (i.e., one clone may see the other's empty dir and start writing into it). Still, it does not hurt to err on the side of caution here. Note that writing into junk_work_tree and junk_git_dir after installing the handler is also technically racy, as we call our handler on an async signal. Depending on the platform, we could see a sheared write to the variables. Traditionally we have not worried about this, and indeed we already do this later in the function. If we want to address that, it can come as a separate topic. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-12-01path.c: make get_pathname() call sites return const char *Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-4/+5
Before the previous commit, get_pathname returns an array of PATH_MAX length. Even if git_path() and similar functions does not use the whole array, git_path() caller can, in theory. After the commit, get_pathname() may return a buffer that has just enough room for the returned string and git_path() caller should never write beyond that. Make git_path(), mkpath() and git_path_submodule() return a const buffer to make sure callers do not write in it at all. This could have been part of the previous commit, but the "const" conversion is too much distraction from the core changes in path.c.

2014-10-15clone: --dissociate option to mark that reference is only temporaryLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+20
While use of the --reference option to borrow objects from an existing local repository of the same project is an effective way to reduce traffic when cloning a project over the network, it makes the resulting "borrowing" repository dependent on the "borrowed" repository. After running git clone --reference=P $URL Q the resulting repository Q will be broken if the borrowed repository P disappears. The way to allow the borrowed repository to be removed is to repack the borrowing repository (i.e. run "git repack -a -d" in Q); while power users may know it very well, it is not easily discoverable.

2014-06-20refactor skip_prefix to return a booleanLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+7
The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use for two reasons: 1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable. For example: tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"); if (tmp) buf = tmp; 2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as you need extra parentheses to silence compiler warnings. For example: if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo")) /* do something with cp */ Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but means we are repeating ourselves). This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean, and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This lets you write: if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg)) do_foo(arg); else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg)) do_bar(arg); Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-04-07refs.h: rename the action_on_err constantsLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-4/+5
Given that these constants are only being used when updating references, it is inappropriate to give them such generic names as "DIE_ON_ERR". So prefix their names with "UPDATE_REFS_". Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Fetching from a shallow-cloned repository used to be forbidden, primarily because the codepaths involved were not carefully vetted and we did not bother supporting such usage. This attempts to allow object transfer out of a shallow-cloned repository in a controlled way (i.e. the receiver become a shallow repository with truncated history). * nd/shallow-clone: (31 commits) t5537: fix incorrect expectation in test case 10 shallow: remove unused code send-pack.c: mark a file-local function static git-clone.txt: remove shallow clone limitations prune: clean .git/shallow after pruning objects clone: use git protocol for cloning shallow repo locally send-pack: support pushing from a shallow clone via http receive-pack: support pushing to a shallow clone via http smart-http: support shallow fetch/clone remote-curl: pass ref SHA-1 to fetch-pack as well send-pack: support pushing to a shallow clone receive-pack: allow pushes that update .git/shallow connected.c: add new variant that runs with --shallow-file add GIT_SHALLOW_FILE to propagate --shallow-file to subprocesses receive/send-pack: support pushing from a shallow clone receive-pack: reorder some code in unpack() fetch: add --update-shallow to accept refs that update .git/shallow upload-pack: make sure deepening preserves shallow roots fetch: support fetching from a shallow repository clone: support remote shallow repository ...
