2015-06-24introduce "preciousObjects" repository extensionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
If this extension is used in a repository, then no operations should run which may drop objects from the object storage. This can be useful if you are sharing that storage with other repositories whose refs you cannot see. For instance, if you do: $ git clone -s parent child $ git -C parent config extensions.preciousObjects true $ git -C parent config core.repositoryformatversion 1 you now have additional safety when running git in the parent repository. Prunes and repacks will bail with an error, and `git gc` will skip those operations (it will continue to pack refs and do other non-object operations). Older versions of git, when run in the repository, will fail on every operation. Note that we do not set the preciousObjects extension by default when doing a "clone -s", as doing so breaks backwards compatibility. It is a decision the user should make explicitly.

2015-03-31prune --worktrees: fix expire vs worktree existence conditionLibravatar Max Kirillov1-3/+7
`git prune --worktrees` was pruning worktrees which were non-existent OR expired, while it rather should prune those which are orphaned AND expired, as git-checkout documentation describes. Fix it. Add test 'not prune proper checkouts', which uses valid but expired worktree. Modify test 'not prune recent checkouts' to remove the worktree before pruning - link in worktrees still must survive. In older form it is useless because would pass always when the other test passes.

2015-03-20prune: turn on ref_paranoia flagLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
Prune should know about broken objects at the tips of refs, so that we can feed them to our traversal rather than ignoring them. It's better for us to abort the operation on the broken object than it is to start deleting objects with an incomplete view of the reachability namespace. Note that for missing objects, aborting is the best we can do. For a badly-named ref, we technically could use its sha1 as a reachability tip. However, the iteration code just feeds us a null sha1, so there would be a reasonable amount of code involved to pass down our wishes. It's not really worth trying to do better, because this is a case that should happen extremely rarely, and the message we provide: fatal: unable to parse object: refs/heads/bogus:name is probably enough to point the user in the right direction.

The use case is auto fixup after a manual checkout move. - linked checkouts are supposed to update mtime of $R/gitdir. If $R/gitdir's mtime is older than a limit, and it points to nowhere, worktrees/<id> is to be pruned. - If $R/locked exists, worktrees/<id> is not supposed to be pruned. If $R/locked exists and $R/gitdir's mtime is older than a really long limit, warn about old unused repo. - "git checkout --to" is supposed to make a hard link named $R/link pointing to the .git file on supported file systems to help detect the user manually deleting the checkout. If $R/link exists and its link count is greated than 1, the repo is kept.

2014-10-16prune: keep objects reachable from recent objectsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Our current strategy with prune is that an object falls into one of three categories: 1. Reachable (from ref tips, reflogs, index, etc). 2. Not reachable, but recent (based on the --expire time). 3. Not reachable and not recent. We keep objects from (1) and (2), but prune objects in (3). The point of (2) is that these objects may be part of an in-progress operation that has not yet updated any refs. However, it is not always the case that objects for an in-progress operation will have a recent mtime. For example, the object database may have an old copy of a blob (from an abandoned operation, a branch that was deleted, etc). If we create a new tree that points to it, a simultaneous prune will leave our tree, but delete the blob. Referencing that tree with a commit will then work (we check that the tree is in the object database, but not that all of its referred objects are), as will mentioning the commit in a ref. But the resulting repo is corrupt; we are missing the blob reachable from a ref. One way to solve this is to be more thorough when referencing a sha1: make sure that not only do we have that sha1, but that we have objects it refers to, and so forth recursively. The problem is that this is very expensive. Creating a parent link would require traversing the entire object graph! Instead, this patch pushes the extra work onto prune, which runs less frequently (and has to look at the whole object graph anyway). It creates a new category of objects: objects which are not recent, but which are reachable from a recent object. We do not prune these objects, just like the reachable and recent ones. This lets us avoid the recursive check above, because if we have an object, even if it is unreachable, we should have its referent. We can make a simple inductive argument that with this patch, this property holds (that there are no objects with missing referents in the repository): 0. When we have no objects, we have nothing to refer or be referred to, so the property holds. 1. If we add objects to the repository, their direct referents must generally exist (e.g., if you create a tree, the blobs it references must exist; if you create a commit to point at the tree, the tree must exist). This is already the case before this patch. And it is not 100% foolproof (you can make bogus objects using `git hash-object`, for example), but it should be the case for normal usage. Therefore for any sequence of object additions, the property will continue to hold. 2. If we remove objects from the repository, then we will not remove a child object (like a blob) if an object that refers to it is being kept. That is the part implemented by this patch. Note, however, that our reachability check and the actual pruning are not atomic. So it _is_ still possible to violate the property (e.g., an object becomes referenced just as we are deleting it). This patch is shooting for eliminating problems where the mtimes of dependent objects differ by hours or days, and one is dropped without the other. It does nothing to help with short races. Naively, the simplest way to implement this would be to add all recent objects as tips to the reachability traversal. However, this does not perform well. In a recently-packed repository, all reachable objects will also be recent, and therefore we have to look at each object twice. This patch instead performs the reachability traversal, then follows up with a second traversal for recent objects, skipping any that have already been marked.

2014-10-16prune: factor out loose-object directory traversalLibravatar Jeff King1-61/+26
Prune has to walk $GIT_DIR/objects/?? in order to find the set of loose objects to prune. Other parts of the code (e.g., count-objects) want to do the same. Let's factor it out into a reusable for_each-style function. Note that this is not quite a straight code movement. The original code had strange behavior when it found a file of the form "[0-9a-f]{2}/.{38}" that did _not_ contain all hex digits. It executed a "break" from the loop, meaning that we stopped pruning in that directory (but still pruned other directories!). This was probably a bug; we do not want to process the file as an object, but we should keep going otherwise (and that is how the new code handles it). We are also a little more careful with loose object directories which fail to open. The original code silently ignored any failures, but the new code will complain about any problems besides ENOENT.

Commit b60daf0 (Make git-prune-packed a bit more chatty. - 2007-01-12) changes the meaning of prune_packed_objects()'s argument, from "dry run or not dry run" to a bitmap.

It's fine (for a long time!) but there is a risk that someday someone may change the value of DRY_RUN to something else and builtin/prune.c suddenly breaks. Avoid that possibility.

"git prune" reports removal of loose object files that are no longer necessary only under the "-v" option, but unconditionally reports removal of temporary files that are no longer needed. The original thinking was that the presence of a leftover temporary file should be an unusual occurrence that may indicate an earlier failure of some sort, and the user may want to be reminded of it. Removing an unnecessary loose object file, on the other hand, is just part of the normal operation. That is why the former is always printed out and the latter only when -v is used.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off around 100 choices or something. So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.
