2013-07-18Merge branch 'jk/maint-clone-shared-no-connectivity-validation'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+12
"git clone -s/-l" is a filesystem level copy and does not offer any protection against source repository being corrupt. While the connectivity validation checks commits and trees being readable, it made the otherwise instantaneous local modes of clone much more expensive, without protecting blob data from bitflips. * jk/maint-clone-shared-no-connectivity-validation: clone: drop connectivity check for local clones

* ms/remote-tracking-branches-in-doc: Change "remote tracking" to "remote-tracking"
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.

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.

Do not report that an argument to clone's --reference option is not a local directory. 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.

2013-03-27clone: run check_everything_connectedLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+26
When we fetch from a remote, we do a revision walk to make sure that what we received is connected to our existing history. We do not do the same check for clone, which should be able to check that we received an intact history graph. The upside of this patch is that it will make clone more resilient against propagating repository corruption. The downside is that we will now traverse "rev-list --objects --all" down to the roots, which may take some time (it is especially noticeable for a "--local --bare" clone). Note that we need to adjust t5710, which tries to make such a bogus clone. Rather than checking after the fact that our clone is bogus, we can simplify it to just make sure "git clone" reports failure.

2013-03-27clone: die on errors from unpack_treesLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
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. By using "--bare", we can avoid it actually touching any objects. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

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.

2013-01-05clone: 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).

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.

2012-02-02standardize 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.
