* jc/warn-pathless-add-finishing-touches: git add: avoid "-u/-A without pathspec" warning on stat-dirty paths
2013-04-26git add: avoid "-u/-A without pathspec" warning on stat-dirty pathsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
In preparation for Git 2.0, "git add -u/-A" without pathspec checks all the working tree (not limited to the current directory) and issues a warning when it finds any path that we might add in Git 2.0, because that would mean the users' fingers need to be trained to explicitly say "." if they want to keep the current behaviour. However, the check was incomplete, because "git add" usually does not refresh the index, considers a path that is stat-dirty but has contents that is otherwise up-to-date in the index as "we might add", and relies on that it is a no-op to add the same thing again via the add_file_to_index() API (which also knows not to say "added" in verbose mode when this happens). We do not want to trigger the warning for a path that is outside the current directory is merely stat-dirty, as it won't be added in Git 2.0, either.

2013-04-19receive-pack: close sideband fd on early pack errorsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+4
Since commit a22e6f8 (receive-pack: send pack-processing stderr over sideband, 2012-09-21), receive-pack will start an async sideband thread to copy the stderr from our index-pack or unpack-objects child to the client. We hand the thread's input descriptor to unpack(), which puts it in the "err" member of the "struct child_process". After unpack() returns, we use finish_async() to reap the sideband thread. The thread is only ready to die when it gets EOF on its pipe, which is connected to the err descriptor. So we expect all of the write ends of that pipe to be closed as part of unpack(). Normally, this works fine. After start_command forks, it closes the parent copy of the descriptor. Then once the child exits (whether it was successful or not), that closes the only remaining writer. However, there is one code-path in unpack() that does not handle this. Before we decide which of unpack-objects or index-pack to use, we read the pack header ourselves to see how many objects it contains. If there is an error here, we exit without running either sub-command, the pipe descriptor remains open, and we are in a deadlock, waiting for the sideband thread to die (which is in turn waiting for us to close the pipe). We can fix this by making sure that unpack() always closes the pipe before returning. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-04-17git add: rework the logic to warn "git add <pathspec>..." default changeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-26/+38
The earlier logic to warn against "git add subdir" that is run without "-A" or "--no-all" was only to check any <pathspec> given exactly spells a directory name that (still) exists on the filesystem. This had number of problems: * "git add '*dir'" (note that the wildcard is hidden from the shell) would not trigger the warning. * "git add '*.py'" would behave differently between the current version of Git and Git 2.0 for the same reason as "subdir", but would not trigger the warning. * "git add dir" for a submodule "dir" would just update the index entry for the submodule "dir" without ever recursing into it, and use of "-A" or "--no-all" would matter. But the logic only checks the directory-ness of "dir" and gives an unnecessary warning. Rework the logic to detect the case where the behaviour will be different in Git 2.0, and issue a warning only when it matters. Even with the code before this warning, "git add subdir" will have to traverse the directory in order to find _new_ files the index does not know about _anyway_, so we can do this check without adding an extra pass to find if <pathspec> matches any removed file. This essentially updates the "add_files_to_cache()" public API to "update_files_in_cache()" API that is internal to "git add", because with the "--all" option, the function is no longer about "adding" paths to the cache, but is also used to remove them. There are other callers of the former from "checkout" (used when "checkout -m" prepares the temporary tree that represents the local modifications to be merged) and "commit" ("commit --include" that picks up local changes in addition to what is in the index). Since ADD_CACHE_IGNORE_ERRORS (aka "--no-all") is not used by either of them, once dust settles after Git 2.0 and the warning becomes unnecessary, we may want to unify these two functions again.

2013-04-17cat-file: print tags raw for "cat-file -p"Libravatar Jeff King1-71/+0
When "cat-file -p" prints commits, it shows them in their raw format, since git's format is already human-readable. For tags, however, we print the whole thing raw except for one thing: we convert the timestamp on the tagger line into a human-readable date. This dates all the way back to a0f15fa (Pretty-print tagger dates, 2006-03-01). At that time there was no other way to pretty-print a tag. These days, however, neither of those matters much. The normal way to pretty-print a tag is with "git show", which is much more flexible than "cat-file -p". Commit a0f15fa also built "verify-tag --verbose" (and subsequently "tag -v") around the "cat-file -p" output. However, that behavior was lost in commit 62e09ce (Make git tag a builtin, 2007-07-20), and we went back to printing the raw tag contents. Nobody seems to have noticed the bug since then (and it is arguably a saner behavior anyway, as it shows the actual bytes for which we verified the signature). Let's drop the tagger-date formatting for "cat-file -p". It makes us more consistent with cat-file's commit pretty-printer, and as a bonus, we can drop the hand-rolled tag parsing code in cat-file (which happened to behave inconsistently with the tag pretty-printing code elsewhere). This is a change of output format, so it's possible that some callers could considered this a regression. However, the original behavior was arguably a bug (due to the inconsistency with commits), likely nobody was relying on it (even we do not use it ourselves these days), and anyone relying on the "-p" pretty-printer should be able to expect a change in the output format (i.e., while "cat-file" is plumbing, the output format of "-p" was never guaranteed to be stable).

2013-04-15dir.c: git-status --ignored: don't scan the work tree twiceLibravatar Karsten Blees1-1/+0
'git-status --ignored' still scans the work tree twice to collect untracked and ignored files, respectively. fill_directory / read_directory already supports collecting untracked and ignored files in a single directory scan. However, the DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED flag to enable this has some git-add specific side-effects (e.g. it doesn't recurse into ignored directories, so listing ignored files with --untracked=all doesn't work). The DIR_SHOW_IGNORED flag doesn't list untracked files and returns ignored files in dir_struct.entries[] (instead of dir_struct.ignored[] as DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED). DIR_SHOW_IGNORED is used all throughout git. We don't want to break the existing API, so lets introduce a new flag DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO that lists untracked as well as ignored files similar to DIR_COLLECT_FILES, but will recurse into sub-directories based on the other flags as DIR_SHOW_IGNORED does. In dir.c::read_directory_recursive, add ignored files to either dir_struct.entries[] or dir_struct.ignored[] based on the flags. Also move the DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED case here so that filling result lists is in a common place. In wt-status.c::wt_status_collect_untracked, use the new flag and read results from dir_struct.ignored[]. Remove the extra fill_directory call. builtin/check-ignore.c doesn't call fill_directory, setting the git-add specific DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED flag has no effect here. Remove for clarity. Update API documentation to reflect the changes. Performance: with this patch, 'git-status --ignored' is typically as fast as 'git-status'.

2013-04-08clone: Fix error message for reference repositoryLibravatar Aaron Schrab1-1/+1
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.
