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.

2014-10-19Handle atexit list internaly for unthreaded buildsLibravatar Etienne Buira1-5/+0
Wrap atexit()s calls on unthreaded builds to handle callback list internally. This is needed because on unthreaded builds, asyncs inherits parent's atexit() list, that gets run as soon as the async exit()s (and again at the end of async's parent process). That led to remove temporary files too early. Also remove a by-atexit-callback guard against this kind of issue in clone.c, as this patch makes it redundant. Fixes test 5537 (temporary shallow file vanished before unpack-objects could open it) BTW remove an unused variable in shallow.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. Teach a new "--dissociate" option to "git clone" to run this repacking for the user. Helped-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-10-15refs.c: change resolve_ref_unsafe reading argument to be a flags fieldLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-1/+1
resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref resolves successfully for writing but not for reading). Change this to be a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when we want this behaviour. While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output arguments at the end. As a nice side effect, this ensures that we can catch callers that were unaware of the new API so they can be audited. Give the wrapper functions resolve_refdup and read_ref_full the same treatment for consistency.

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>

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.

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.

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>
2013-07-03Change "remote tracking" to "remote-tracking"Libravatar Michael Schubert1-1/+1
Fix a typo ("remote remote-tracking") going back to the big cleanup in 2010 (8b3f3f84 etc). Also, remove some more occurrences of "tracking" and "remote tracking" in favor of "remote-tracking".

2013-06-20refs: implement simple transactions for the packed-refs fileLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+4
Handle simple transactions for the packed-refs file at the packed_ref_cache level via new functions lock_packed_refs(), commit_packed_refs(), and rollback_packed_refs(). Only allow the packed ref cache to be modified (via add_packed_ref()) while the packed refs file is locked. Change clone to add the new references within a transaction.

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.

This shortcut does not apply to unpack-objects code path either because the number of objects must be small in order to trigger that code path.
