Update the hashmap API so that data to customize the behaviour of the comparison function can be specified at the time a hashmap is initialized. * sb/hashmap-customize-comparison: hashmap: migrate documentation from Documentation/technical into header patch-ids.c: use hashmap correctly hashmap.h: compare function has access to a data field

2017-06-30hashmap.h: compare function has access to a data fieldLibravatar Stefan Beller1-3/+5
When using the hashmap a common need is to have access to caller provided data in the compare function. A couple of times we abuse the keydata field to pass in the data needed. This happens for example in patch-ids.c. This patch changes the function signature of the compare function to have one more void pointer available. The pointer given for each invocation of the compare function must be defined in the init function of the hashmap and is just passed through. Documentation of this new feature is deferred to a later patch. This is a rather mechanical conversion, just adding the new pass-through parameter. However while at it improve the naming of the fields of all compare functions used by hashmaps by ensuring unused parameters are prefixed with 'unused_' and naming the parameters what they are (instead of 'unused' make it 'unused_keydata').

Remove the unused wildopts placeholder struct from being passed to all wildmatch() invocations, or rather remove all the boilerplate NULL parameters. This parameter was added back in commit 9b3497cab9 ("wildmatch: rename constants and update prototype", 2013-01-01) as a placeholder for future use. Over 4 years later nothing has made use of it, let's just remove it. It can be added in the future if we find some reason to start using such a parameter.

2017-05-08Convert lookup_commit* to struct object_idLibravatar brian m. carlson1-2/+2
Convert lookup_commit, lookup_commit_or_die, lookup_commit_reference, and lookup_commit_reference_gently to take struct object_id arguments. Introduce a temporary in parse_object buffer in order to convert this function. This is required since in order to convert parse_object and parse_object_buffer, lookup_commit_reference_gently and lookup_commit_or_die would need to be converted. Not introducing a temporary would therefore require that lookup_commit_or_die take a struct object_id *, but lookup_commit would take unsigned char *, leaving a confusing and hard-to-use interface. parse_object_buffer will lose this temporary in a later patch.

git-describe tells you the version number you're at, or errors out, e.g. when you run it outside of a repository, which may happen when downloading a tar ball instead of using git to obtain the source code. To keep this property of only erroring out, when not in a repository, severe (submodule) errors must be downgraded to reporting them gently instead of having git-describe error out completely. To achieve that a flag '--broken' is introduced, which is in the same vein as '--dirty' but uses an actual child process to check for dirtiness.

2017-01-23describe: teach describe negative pattern matchesLibravatar Jacob Keller1-0/+21
Teach git-describe the `--exclude` option which will allow specifying a glob pattern of tags to ignore. This can be combined with the `--match` patterns to enable more flexibility in determining which tags to consider. For example, suppose you wish to find the first official release tag that contains a certain commit. If we assume that official release tags are of the form "v*" and pre-release candidates include "*rc*" in their name, we can now find the first release tag that introduces the commit abcdef: git describe --contains --match="v*" --exclude="*rc*" abcdef Add documentation, tests, and completion for this change.

2015-08-31Merge branch 'sg/describe-contains'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+4
"git describe" without argument defaulted to describe the HEAD commit, but "git describe --contains" didn't. Arguably, in a repository used for active development, such defaulting would not be very useful as the tip of branch is typically not tagged, but it is better to be consistent. * sg/describe-contains: describe --contains: default to HEAD when no commit-ish is given
2015-08-25describe --contains: default to HEAD when no commit-ish is givenLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-4/+4
'git describe --contains' doesn't default to HEAD when no commit is given, and it doesn't produce any output, not even an error: ~/src/git ((v2.5.0))$ ./git describe --contains ~/src/git ((v2.5.0))$ ./git describe --contains HEAD v2.5.0^0 Unlike other 'git describe' options, the '--contains' code path is implemented by calling 'name-rev' with a bunch of options plus all the commit-ishes that were passed to 'git describe'. If no commit-ish was present, then 'name-rev' got invoked with none, which then leads to the behavior illustrated above. Porcelain commands usually default to HEAD when no commit-ish is given, and 'git describe' already does so in all other cases, so it should do so with '--contains' as well. Pass HEAD to 'name-rev' when no commit-ish is given on the command line to make '--contains' behave consistently with other 'git describe' options. While at it, use argv_array_pushv() instead of the loop to pass commit-ishes to 'git name-rev'. 'git describe's short help already indicates that the commit-ish is optional, but the synopsis in the man page doesn't, so update it accordingly as well.

2015-05-25each_ref_fn: change to take an object_id parameterLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+3
Change typedef each_ref_fn to take a "const struct object_id *oid" parameter instead of "const unsigned char *sha1". To aid this transition, implement an adapter that can be used to wrap old-style functions matching the old typedef, which is now called "each_ref_sha1_fn"), and make such functions callable via the new interface. This requires the old function and its cb_data to be wrapped in a "struct each_ref_fn_sha1_adapter", and that object to be used as the cb_data for an adapter function, each_ref_fn_adapter(). This is an enormous diff, but most of it consists of simple, mechanical changes to the sites that call any of the "for_each_ref" family of functions. Subsequent to this change, the call sites can be rewritten one by one to use the new interface.

2014-07-07hashmap: add simplified hashmap_get_from_hash() APILibravatar Karsten Blees1-3/+1
Hashmap entries are typically looked up by just a key. The hashmap_get() API expects an initialized entry structure instead, to support compound keys. This flexibility is currently only needed by find_dir_entry() in name-hash.c (and compat/win32/fscache.c in the msysgit fork). All other (currently five) call sites of hashmap_get() have to set up a near emtpy entry structure, resulting in duplicate code like this: struct hashmap_entry keyentry; hashmap_entry_init(&keyentry, hash(key)); return hashmap_get(map, &keyentry, key); Add a hashmap_get_from_hash() API that allows hashmap lookups by just specifying the key and its hash code, i.e.: return hashmap_get_from_hash(map, hash(key), key); Signed-off-by: Karsten Blees <blees@dcon.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

"git describe" takes a commit and gives it a name based on tags in its neighbourhood. The command does take a commit-ish but when given a tag that points at a commit, it should dereference the tag before computing the name for the commit. As the whole processing is internally delegated to name-rev, if we unwrap tags down to the underlying commit when invoking name-rev, it will make the name-rev issue an error message based on the unwrapped object name (i.e. either 40-hex object name, or "$tag^0") that is different from what the end-user gave to the command when the commit cannot be described.

The logic to limit the refs used for describing with a matching pattern with --match=<pattern> parameter was implemented incorrectly when --all is in effect. It just demoted a ref that did not match the pattern to lower priority---if there aren't other refs with higher priority that describe the given commit, such an unmatching ref was still used. When --match is used, reject refs that do not match the given criteria, so that with or without --all, the output will only use refs that match the pattern.

2012-10-04peel_ref: do not return a null sha1Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The idea of the peel_ref function is to dereference tag objects recursively until we hit a non-tag, and return the sha1. Conceptually, it should return 0 if it is successful (and fill in the sha1), or -1 if there was nothing to peel. However, the current behavior is much more confusing. For a regular loose ref, the behavior is as described above. But there is an optimization to reuse the peeled-ref value for a ref that came from a packed-refs file. If we have such a ref, we return its peeled value, even if that peeled value is null (indicating that we know the ref definitely does _not_ peel). It might seem like such information is useful to the caller, who would then know not to bother loading and trying to peel the object. Except that they should not bother loading and trying to peel the object _anyway_, because that fallback is already handled by peel_ref. In other words, the whole point of calling this function is that it handles those details internally, and you either get a sha1, or you know that it is not peel-able. This patch catches the null sha1 case internally and converts it into a -1 return value (i.e., there is nothing to peel). This simplifies callers, which do not need to bother checking themselves. Two callers are worth noting: - in pack-objects, a comment indicates that there is a difference between non-peelable tags and unannotated tags. But that is not the case (before or after this patch). Whether you get a null sha1 has to do with internal details of how peel_ref operated. - in show-ref, if peel_ref returns a failure, the caller tries to decide whether to try peeling manually based on whether the REF_ISPACKED flag is set. But this doesn't make any sense. If the flag is set, that does not necessarily mean the ref came from a packed-refs file with the "peeled" extension. But it doesn't matter, because even if it didn't, there's no point in trying to peel it ourselves, as peel_ref would already have done so. In other words, the fallback peeling is guaranteed to fail.

When running git describe --dirty the index should be refreshed. Previously the cached index would cause describe to think that the index was dirty when, in reality, it was just stale. The issue was exposed by python setuptools which hardlinks files into another directory when building a distribution. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* lt/default-abbrev: Rename core.abbrevlength back to core.abbrev Make the default abbrev length configurable
2011-03-11Make the default abbrev length configurableLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+5
The default of 7 comes from fairly early in git development, when seven hex digits was a lot (it covers about 250+ million hash values). Back then I thought that 65k revisions was a lot (it was what we were about to hit in BK), and each revision tends to be about 5-10 new objects or so, so a million objects was a big number. These days, the kernel isn't even the largest git project, and even the kernel has about 220k revisions (_much_ bigger than the BK tree ever was) and we are approaching two million objects. At that point, seven hex digits is still unique for a lot of them, but when we're talking about just two orders of magnitude difference between number of objects and the hash size, there _will_ be collisions in truncated hash values. It's no longer even close to unrealistic - it happens all the time. We should both increase the default abbrev that was unrealistically small, _and_ add a way for people to set their own default per-project in the git config file. This is the first step to first make it configurable; the default of 7 is not raised yet. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
