2014-06-05fetch: allow explicit --refmap to override configurationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+32
Since the introduction of opportunisitic updates of remote-tracking branches, started at around f2690487 (fetch: opportunistically update tracking refs, 2013-05-11) with a few updates in v1.8.4 era, the remote.*.fetch configuration always kicks in even when a refspec to specify what to fetch is given on the command line, and there is no way to disable or override it per-invocation. Teach the command to pay attention to the --refmap=<lhs>:<rhs> command-line options that can be used to override the use of configured remote.*.fetch as the refmap.

2014-01-03fetch --prune: Run prune before fetchingLibravatar Tom Miller1-5/+5
When we have a remote-tracking branch named "frotz/nitfol" from a previous fetch, and the upstream now has a branch named "frotz", fetch would fail to remove "frotz/nitfol" with a "git fetch --prune" from the upstream. git would inform the user to use "git remote prune" to fix the problem. Change the way "fetch --prune" works by moving the pruning operation before the fetching operation. This way, instead of warning the user of a conflict, it autmatically fixes it.

This patch just put together pieces from the 8 steps patch. We stop at step 7 and reject refs that require new shallow commits. Note that, by rejecting refs that require new shallow commits, we leave dangling objects in the repo, which become "object islands" by the next "git fetch" of the same source. If the first fetch our "ours" set is zero and we do practically nothing at step 7, "ours" is full at the next fetch and we may need to walk through commits for reachability test.

2013-10-30fetch --prune: prune only based on explicit refspecsLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-30/+9
The old behavior of "fetch --prune" was to prune whatever was being fetched. In particular, "fetch --prune --tags" caused tags not only to be fetched, but also to be pruned. This is inappropriate because there is only one tags namespace that is shared among the local repository and all remotes. Therefore, if the user defines a local tag and then runs "git fetch --prune --tags", then the local tag is deleted. Moreover, "--prune" and "--tags" can also be configured via fetch.prune / remote.<name>.prune and remote.<name>.tagopt, making it even less obvious that an invocation of "git fetch" could result in tag lossage. Since the command "git remote update" invokes "git fetch", it had the same problem. The command "git remote prune", on the other hand, disregarded the setting of remote.<name>.tagopt, and so its behavior was inconsistent with that of the other commands. So the old behavior made it too easy to lose tags. To fix this problem, change "fetch --prune" to prune references based only on refspecs specified explicitly by the user, either on the command line or via remote.<name>.fetch. Thus, tags are no longer made subject to pruning by the --tags option or the remote.<name>.tagopt setting. However, tags *are* still subject to pruning if they are fetched as part of a refspec, and that is good. For example: * On the command line, git fetch --prune 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*' causes tags, and only tags, to be fetched and pruned, and is therefore a simple way for the user to get the equivalent of the old behavior of "--prune --tag". * For a remote that was configured with the "--mirror" option, the configuration is set to include [remote "name"] fetch = +refs/*:refs/* , which causes tags to be subject to pruning along with all other references. This is the behavior that will typically be desired for a mirror. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-10-30fetch --tags: fetch tags *in addition to* other stuffLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-24/+35
Previously, fetch's "--tags" option was considered equivalent to specifying the refspec "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" on the command line; in particular, it caused the remote.<name>.refspec configuration to be ignored. But it is not very useful to fetch tags without also fetching other references, whereas it *is* quite useful to be able to fetch tags *in addition to* other references. So change the semantics of this option to do the latter. If a user wants to fetch *only* tags, then it is still possible to specifying an explicit refspec: git fetch <remote> 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*' Please note that the documentation prior to 1.8.0.3 was ambiguous about this aspect of "fetch --tags" behavior. Commit f0cb2f137c 2012-12-14 fetch --tags: clarify documentation made the documentation match the old behavior. This commit changes the documentation to match the new behavior.

2013-10-30fetch: only opportunistically update references based on command lineLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-12/+32
The old code processed (tags == TAGS_SET) before adding the entries used to opportunistically update references mentioned on the command line. The result was that all tags were also considered candidates for opportunistic updating. This is harmless for two reasons: (a) because it would only add entries if there is a configured refspec that covers tags *and* both --tags and another refspec appear on the command-line; (b) because any extra entries would be deleted later by the call to ref_remove_duplicates() anyway. But, to avoid extra work and extra memory usage, and to make the implementation better match the intention, change the algorithm slightly: compute the opportunistic refspecs based only on the command-line arguments, storing the results into a separate temporary list. Then add the tags (which have to come earlier in the list so that they are not de-duped in favor of an opportunistic entry). Then concatenate the temporary list onto the main list. This change will also make later changes easier. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-08-07fetch: work around "transport-take-over" hackLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+13
A Git-aware "connect" transport allows the "transport_take_over" to redirect generic transport requests like fetch(), push_refs() and get_refs_list() to the native Git transport handling methods. The take-over process replaces transport->data with a fake data that these method implementations understand. While this hack works OK for a single request, it breaks when the transport needs to make more than one requests. transport->data that used to hold necessary information for the specific helper to work correctly is destroyed during the take-over process. One codepath that this matters is "git fetch" in auto-follow mode; when it does not get all the tags that ought to point at the history it got (which can be determined by looking at the peeled tags in the initial advertisement) from the primary transfer, it internally makes a second request to complete the fetch. Because "take-over" hack has already destroyed the data necessary to talk to the transport helper by the time this happens, the second request cannot make a request to the helper to make another connection to fetch these additional tags. Mark such a transport as "cannot_reuse", and use a separate transport to perform the backfill fetch in order to work around this breakage. Note that this problem does not manifest itself when running t5802, because our upload-pack gives you all the necessary auto-followed tags during the primary transfer. You would need to step through "git fetch" in a debugger, stop immediately after the primary transfer finishes and writes these auto-followed tags, remove the tag references and repack/prune the repository to convince the "find-non-local-tags" procedure that the primary transfer failed to give us all the necessary tags, and then let it continue, in order to trigger the bug in the secondary transfer this patch fixes.

2013-08-07fetch: refactor code that fetches leftover tagsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+9
Usually the upload-pack process running on the other side will give us all the reachable tags we need during the primary object transfer in do_fetch().

2013-07-18fetch: make --prune configurableLibravatar Michael Schubert1-5/+34
Without "git fetch --prune", remote-tracking branches for a branch the other side already has removed will stay forever. Some people want to always run "git fetch --prune". To accommodate users who want to either prune always or when fetching from a particular remote, add two new configuration variables "fetch.prune" and "remote.<name>.prune": - "fetch.prune" allows to enable prune for all fetch operations. - "remote.<name>.prune" allows to change the behaviour per remote. The latter will naturally override the former, and the --[no-]prune option from the command line will override the configured default. Since --prune is a potentially destructive operation (Git doesn't keep reflogs for deleted references yet), we don't want to prune without users consent, so this configuration will not be on by default.

2013-05-12fetch: opportunistically update tracking refsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+16
When we run a regular "git fetch" without arguments, we update the tracking refs according to the configured refspec. However, when we run "git fetch origin master" (or "git pull origin master"), we do not look at the configured refspecs at all, and just update FETCH_HEAD. We miss an opportunity to update "refs/remotes/origin/master" (or whatever the user has configured). Some users find this confusing, because they would want to do further comparisons against the old state of the remote master, like: $ git pull origin master $ git log HEAD...origin/master In the currnet code, they are comparing against whatever commit happened to be in origin/master from the last time they did a complete "git fetch". This patch will update a ref from the RHS of a configured refspec whenever we happen to be fetching its LHS. That makes the case above work. The downside is that any users who really care about whether and when their tracking branches are updated may be surprised.

2013-05-12refactor "ref->merge" flagLibravatar Jeff King1-22/+35
Each "struct ref" has a boolean flag that is set by the fetch code to determine whether the ref should be marked as "not-for-merge" or not when we write it out to FETCH_HEAD. It would be useful to turn this boolean into a tri-state, with the third state meaning "do not bother writing it out to FETCH_HEAD at all". That would let us add extra refs to the set of refs to be stored (e.g., to store copies of things we fetched) without impacting FETCH_HEAD. This patch turns it into an enum that covers the tri-state case, and hopefully makes the code more explicit and easier to read.

2013-01-26fetch: run gc --auto after fetchingLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+5
We generally try to run "gc --auto" after any commands that might introduce a large number of new objects. An obvious place to do so is after running "fetch", which may introduce new loose objects or packs (depending on the size of the fetch). While an active developer repository will probably eventually trigger a "gc --auto" on another action (e.g., git-rebase), there are two good reasons why it is nicer to do it at fetch time: 1. Read-only repositories which track an upstream (e.g., a continuous integration server which fetches and builds, but never makes new commits) will accrue loose objects and small packs, but never coalesce them into a more efficient larger pack. 2. Fetching is often already perceived to be slow to the user, since they have to wait on the network. It's much more pleasant to include a potentially slow auto-gc as part of the already-long network fetch than in the middle of productive work with git-rebase or similar.

2013-01-11fetch: add --unshallow for turning shallow repo into complete oneLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+16
The user can do --depth=2147483647 (*) for restoring complete repo now. But it's hard to remember. Any other numbers larger than the longest commit chain in the repository would also do, but some guessing may be involved. Make easy-to-remember --unshallow an alias for --depth=2147483647. Make upload-pack recognize this special number as infinite depth. The effect is essentially the same as before, except that upload-pack is more efficient because it does not have to traverse to the bottom anymore. The chance of a user actually wanting exactly 2147483647 commits depth, not infinite, on a repository with a history that long, is probably too small to consider. The client can learn to add or subtract one commit to avoid the special treatment when that actually happens. (*) This is the largest positive number a 32-bit signed integer can contain. JGit and older C Git store depth as "int" so both are OK with this number. Dulwich does not support shallow clone.

fetch does printf("%-*s", width, "foo") where "foo" can be a utf-8 string, but width is in bytes, not columns. For ASCII it's fine as one byte takes one column. For utf-8, this may result in misaligned ref summary table. Introduce gettext_width() function that returns the string length in columns (currently only supports utf-8 locales). Make the code use TRANSPORT_SUMMARY(x) where the length is compensated properly in non-English locales.

2012-09-14Merge branch 'dj/fetch-all-tags'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+4
"git fetch --all", when passed "--no-tags", did not honor the "--no-tags" option while fetching from individual remotes (the same issue existed with "--tags", but combination "--all --tags" makes much less sense than "--all --no-tags"). * dj/fetch-all-tags: fetch --all: pass --tags/--no-tags through to each remote
2012-09-11Merge branch 'jk/argv-array'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-22/+25
Use argv-array API in "git fetch" implementation. * jk/argv-array: submodule: use argv_array instead of hand-building arrays fetch: use argv_array instead of hand-building arrays argv-array: fix bogus cast when freeing array argv-array: add pop function
2012-09-11Merge branch 'jc/merge-bases'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Optimise the "merge-base" computation a bit, and also update its users that do not need the full merge-base information to call a cheaper subset. * jc/merge-bases: reduce_heads(): reimplement on top of remove_redundant() merge-base: "--is-ancestor A B" get_merge_bases_many(): walk from many tips in parallel in_merge_bases(): use paint_down_to_common() merge_bases_many(): split out the logic to paint history in_merge_bases(): omit unnecessary redundant common ancestor reduction http-push: use in_merge_bases() for fast-forward check receive-pack: use in_merge_bases() for fast-forward check in_merge_bases(): support only one "other" commit
2012-09-07fetch --all: pass --tags/--no-tags through to each remoteLibravatar Dan Johnson1-0/+4
When fetch is invoked with --all, we need to pass the tag-following preference to each individual fetch; without this, we will always auto-follow tags, preventing us from fetching the remote tags into a remote-specific namespace, for example.

2012-09-02submodule: use argv_array instead of hand-building arraysLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-1/+1
fetch_populated_submodules() allocates the full argv array it uses to recurse into the submodules from the number of given options plus the six argv values it is going to add. It then initializes it with those values which won't change during the iteration and copies the given options into it. Inside the loop the two argv values different for each submodule get replaced with those currently valid. However, this technique is brittle and error-prone (as the comment to explain the magic number 6 indicates), so let's replace it with an argv_array. Instead of replacing the argv values, push them to the argv_array just before the run_command() call (including the option separating them) and pop them from the argv_array right after that.
