2019-07-31repack: simplify handling of auto-bitmaps and .keep filesLibravatar Jeff King1-15/+2
Commit 7328482253 (repack: disable bitmaps-by-default if .keep files exist, 2019-06-29) taught repack to prefer disabling bitmaps to duplicating objects (unless bitmaps were asked for explicitly). But there's an easier way to do this: if we keep passing the --honor-pack-keep flag to pack-objects when auto-enabling bitmaps, then pack-objects already makes the same decision (it will disable bitmaps rather than duplicate). Better still, pack-objects can actually decide to do so based not just on the presence of a .keep file, but on whether that .keep file actually impacts the new pack we're making (so if we're racing with a push or fetch, for example, their temporary .keep file will not block us from generating bitmaps if they haven't yet updated their refs). And because repack uses the --write-bitmap-index-quiet flag, we don't have to worry about pack-objects generating confusing warnings when it does see a .keep file. We can confirm this by tweaking the .keep test to check repack's stderr. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-07-31repack: silence warnings when auto-enabled bitmaps cannot be builtLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+9
Depending on various config options, a full repack may not be able to build a reachability bitmap index (e.g., if pack.packSizeLimit forces us to write multiple packs). In these cases pack-objects may write a warning to stderr. Since 36eba0323d (repack: enable bitmaps by default on bare repos, 2019-03-14), we may generate these warnings even when the user did not explicitly ask for bitmaps. This has two downsides: - it can be confusing, if they don't know what bitmaps are - a daemonized auto-gc will write this to its log file, and the presence of the warning may suppress further auto-gc (until gc.logExpiry has elapsed) Let's have repack communicate to pack-objects that the choice to turn on bitmaps was not made explicitly by the user, which in turn allows pack-objects to suppress these warnings.

2019-07-01repack: disable bitmaps-by-default if .keep files existLibravatar Eric Wong1-2/+16
Bitmaps aren't useful with multiple packs, and users with .keep files ended up with redundant packs when bitmaps got enabled by default in bare repos. So detect when .keep files exist and stop enabling bitmaps by default in that case. Wasteful (but otherwise harmless) race conditions with .keep files documented by Jeff King still apply and there's a chance we'd still end up with redundant data on the FS: https://public-inbox.org/git/20190623224244.GB1100@sigill.intra.peff.net/ v2: avoid subshell in test case, be multi-index aware Fixes: 36eba0323d3288a8 ("repack: enable bitmaps by default on bare repos") Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <e@80x24.org> Helped-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Reported-by: Janos Farkas <chexum@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

On Windows, files cannot be removed nor renamed if there are still handles held by a process. To remedy that, we introduced the close_all_packs() function. Earlier, we made sure that the packs are released just before `git gc` is spawned, in case that gc wants to remove no-longer needed packs. But this developer forgot that gc itself also needs to let go of packs, e.g. when consolidating all packs via the --aggressive option. Likewise, `git repack -d` wants to delete obsolete packs and therefore needs to close all pack handles, too.

2018-10-25repack -ad: prune the list of shallow commitsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+6
`git repack` can drop unreachable commits without further warning, making the corresponding entries in `.git/shallow` invalid, which causes serious problems when deepening the branches. One scenario where unreachable commits are dropped by `git repack` is when a `git fetch --prune` (or even a `git fetch` when a ref was force-pushed in the meantime) can make a commit unreachable that was reachable before. Therefore it is not safe to assume that a `git repack -adlf` will keep unreachable commits alone (under the assumption that they had not been packed in the first place, which is an assumption at least some of Git's code seems to make). This is particularly important to keep in mind when looking at the `.git/shallow` file: if any commits listed in that file become unreachable, it is not a problem, but if they go missing, it *is* a problem. One symptom of this problem is that a deepening fetch may now fail with fatal: error in object: unshallow <commit-hash> To avoid this problem, let's prune the shallow list in `git repack` when the `-d` option is passed, unless `-A` is passed, too (which would force the now-unreachable objects to be turned into loose objects instead of being deleted). Additionally, we also need to take `--keep-reachable` and `--unpack-unreachable=<date>` into account. Note: an alternative solution discussed during the review of this patch was to teach `git fetch` to simply ignore entries in .git/shallow if the corresponding commits do not exist locally. A quick test, however, revealed that the .git/shallow file is written during a shallow *clone*, in which case the commits do not exist, either, but the "shallow" line *does* need to be sent. Therefore, this approach would be a lot more finicky than the approach presented by the this patch.

2018-10-22multi-pack-index: define GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEXLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+4
The multi-pack-index feature is tested in isolation by t5319-multi-pack-index.sh, but there are many more interesting scenarios in the test suite surrounding pack-file data shapes and interactions. Since the multi-pack-index is an optional data structure, it does not make sense to include it by default in those tests. Instead, add a new GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX environment variable that enables core.multiPackIndex and writes a multi-pack-index after each 'git repack' command. This adds extra test coverage when needed. There are a few spots in the test suite that need to react to this change: * t5319-multi-pack-index.sh: there is a test that checks that 'git repack' deletes the multi-pack-index. Disable the environment variable to ensure this still happens. * t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh: One test moves a pack-file from the object directory to an alternate. This breaks the multi-pack-index, so delete the multi-pack-index at this point, if it exists. * t9300-fast-import.sh: One test verifies the number of files in the .git/objects/pack directory is exactly 8. Exclude the multi-pack-index from this count so it is still 8 in all cases. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Therefore, repack all promisor objects if invoked with -a or -A.

2018-04-16repack: add --keep-pack optionLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-3/+18
We allow to keep existing packs by having companion .keep files. This is helpful when a pack is permanently kept. In the next patch, git-gc just wants to keep a pack temporarily, for one pack-objects run. git-gc can use --keep-pack for this use case. A note about why the pack_keep field cannot be reused and pack_keep_in_core has to be added. This is about the case when --keep-pack is specified together with either --keep-unreachable or --unpack-unreachable, but --honor-pack-keep is NOT specified. In this case, we want to exclude objects from the packs specified on command line, not from ones with .keep files. If only one bit flag is used, we have to clear pack_keep on pack files with the .keep file. But we can't make any assumption about unreachable objects in .keep packs. If "pack_keep" field is false for .keep packs, we could potentially pull lots of unreachable objects into the new pack, or unpack them loose. The safer approach is ignore all packs with either .keep file or --keep-pack. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-06-14repack: extend --keep-unreachable to loose objectsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
If you use "repack -adk" currently, we will pack all objects that are already packed into the new pack, and then drop the old packs. However, loose unreachable objects will be left as-is. In theory these are meant to expire eventually with "git prune". But if you are using "repack -k", you probably want to keep things forever and therefore do not run "git prune" at all. Meaning those loose objects may build up over time and end up fooling any object-count heuristics (such as the one done by "gc --auto", though since git-gc does not support "repack -k", this really applies to whatever custom scripts people might have driving "repack -k"). With this patch, we instead stuff any loose unreachable objects into the pack along with the already-packed unreachable objects. This may seem wasteful, but it is really no more so than using "repack -k" in the first place. We are at a slight disadvantage, in that we have no useful ordering for the result, or names to hand to the delta code. However, this is again no worse than what "repack -k" is already doing for the packed objects. The packing of these objects doesn't matter much because they should not be accessed frequently (unless they actually _do_ become referenced, but then they would get moved to a different part of the packfile during the next repack).

2016-06-14repack: add --keep-unreachable optionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+9
The usual way to do a full repack (and what is done by git-gc) is to run "repack -Ad --unpack-unreachable=<when>", which will loosen any unreachable objects newer than "<when>", and drop any older ones. This is a safer alternative to "repack -ad", because "<when>" becomes a grace period during which we will not drop any new objects that are about to be referenced. However, it isn't perfectly safe. It's always possible that a process is about to reference an old object. Even if that process were to take care to update the timestamp on the object, there is no atomicity with a simultaneously running "repack" process. So while unlikely, there is a small race wherein we may drop an object that is in the process of being referenced. If you do automated repacking on a large number of active repositories, you may hit it eventually, and the result is a corrupted repository. It would be nice to fix that race in the long run, but it's complicated. In the meantime, there is a much simpler strategy for automated repository maintenance: do not drop objects at all. We already have a "--keep-unreachable" option in pack-objects; we just need to plumb it through from git-repack. Note that this _isn't_ plumbed through from git-gc, so at this point it's strictly a tool for people doing their own advanced repository maintenance strategy.

2016-01-15strbuf: introduce strbuf_getline_{lf,nul}()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged. By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter. This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(), namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of them. The changes contained in this patch are: * introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch] * mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the respective thin wrapper. After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take over the shorter name strbuf_getline(). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

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.

2015-03-20repack: turn on "ref paranoia" when doing a destructive repackLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+6
If we are repacking with "-ad", we will drop any unreachable objects. Likewise, using "-Ad --unpack-unreachable=<time>" will drop any old, unreachable objects. In these cases, we want to make sure the reachability we compute with "--all" is complete. We can do this by passing GIT_REF_PARANOIA=1 in the environment to pack-objects. Note that "-Ad" is safe already, because it only loosens unreachable objects. It is up to "git prune" to avoid deleting them.

2015-01-14standardize usage info string formatLibravatar Alex Henrie1-1/+1
This patch puts the usage info strings that were not already in docopt- like format into docopt-like format, which will be a litle easier for end users and a lot easier for translators. Changes include: - Placing angle brackets around fill-in-the-blank parameters - Putting dashes in multiword parameter names - Adding spaces to [-f|--foobar] to make [-f | --foobar] - Replacing <foobar>* with [<foobar>...] Signed-off-by: Alex Henrie <alexhenrie24@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> 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 Duy1-3/+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.

2014-11-10use args member of struct child_processLibravatar René Scharfe1-25/+22
Convert users of struct child_process to using the managed argv_array args instead of providing their own. This shortens the code a bit and ensures that the allocated memory is released automatically after use.

2014-10-19repack: pack objects mentioned by the indexLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
When we pack all objects, we use only the objects reachable from references and reflogs. This misses any objects which are reachable from the index, but not yet referenced. By itself this isn't a big deal; the objects can remain loose until they are actually used in a commit. However, it does create a problem when we drop packed but unreachable objects. We try to optimize out the writing of objects that we will immediately prune, which means we must follow the same rules as prune in determining what is reachable. And prune uses the index for this purpose. This is rather uncommon in practice, as objects in the index would not usually have been packed in the first place. But it could happen in a sequence like: 1. You make a commit on a branch that references blob X. 2. You repack, moving X into the pack. 3. You delete the branch (and its reflog), so that X is unreferenced. 4. You "git add" blob X so that it is now referenced only by the index. 5. You repack again with git-gc. The pack-objects we invoke will see that X is neither referenced nor recent and not bother loosening it. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
