2017-03-08real_pathdup(): fix callsites that wanted it to die on errorLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+3
In 4ac9006f832 (real_path: have callers use real_pathdup and strbuf_realpath, 2016-12-12), we changed the xstrdup(real_path()) pattern to use real_pathdup() directly. The problem with this change is that real_path() calls strbuf_realpath() with die_on_error = 1 while real_pathdup() calls it with die_on_error = 0. Meaning that in cases where real_path() causes Git to die() with an error message, real_pathdup() is silent and returns NULL instead. The callers, however, are ill-prepared for that change, as they expect the return value to be non-NULL (and otherwise the function died with an appropriate error message). Fix this by extending real_pathdup()'s signature to accept the die_on_error flag and simply pass it through to strbuf_realpath(), and then adjust all callers after a careful audit whether they would handle NULLs well.

2017-03-02checkout: restrict @-expansions when finding branchLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
When we parse "git checkout $NAME", we try to interpret $NAME as a local branch-name. If it is, then we point HEAD to that branch. Otherwise, we detach the HEAD at whatever commit $NAME points to. We do the interpretation by calling strbuf_branchname(), and then blindly sticking "refs/heads/" on the front. This leads to nonsense results when expansions like "@{upstream}" or "@" point to something besides a local branch. We end up with a local branch name like "refs/heads/origin/master" or "refs/heads/HEAD". Normally this has no user-visible effect because those branches don't exist, and so we fallback to feeding the result to get_sha1(), which resolves them correctly. But as the new test in t3204 shows, there are corner cases where the effect is observable, and we check out the wrong local branch rather than detaching to the correct one.

2017-03-02branch: restrict @-expansions when deletingLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+4
We use strbuf_branchname() to expand the branch name from the command line, so you can delete the branch given by @{-1}, for example. However, we allow other nonsense like "@", and we do not respect our "-r" flag (so we may end up deleting an oddly-named local ref instead of a remote one). We can fix this by passing the appropriate "allowed" flag to strbuf_branchname(). Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-03-02interpret_branch_name: allow callers to restrict expansionsLibravatar Jeff King3-3/+3
The interpret_branch_name() function converts names like @{-1} and @{upstream} into branch names. The expanded ref names are not fully qualified, and may be outside of the refs/heads/ namespace (e.g., "@" expands to "HEAD", and "@{upstream}" is likely to be in "refs/remotes/"). This is OK for callers like dwim_ref() which are primarily interested in resolving the resulting name, no matter where it is. But callers like "git branch" treat the result as a branch name in refs/heads/. When we expand to a ref outside that namespace, the results are very confusing (e.g., "git branch @" tries to create refs/heads/HEAD, which is nonsense). Callers can't know from the returned string how the expansion happened (e.g., did the user really ask for a branch named "HEAD", or did we do a bogus expansion?). One fix would be to return some out-parameters describing the types of expansion that occurred. This has the benefit that the caller can generate precise error messages ("I understood @{upstream} to mean origin/master, but that is a remote tracking branch, so you cannot create it as a local name"). However, out-parameters make the function interface somewhat cumbersome. Instead, let's do the opposite: let the caller tell us which elements to expand. That's easier to pass in, and none of the callers give more precise error messages than "@{upstream} isn't a valid branch name" anyway (which should be sufficient). The strbuf_branchname() function needs a similar parameter, as most of the callers access interpret_branch_name() through it. We can break the callers down into two groups: 1. Callers that are happy with any kind of ref in the result. We pass "0" here, so they continue to work without restrictions. This includes merge_name(), the reflog handling in add_pending_object_with_path(), and substitute_branch_name(). This last is what powers dwim_ref(). 2. Callers that have funny corner cases (mostly in git-branch and git-checkout). These need to make use of the new parameter, but I've left them as "0" in this patch, and will address them individually in follow-on patches.

2017-02-28submodule init: warn about falling back to a local pathLibravatar Stefan Beller1-5/+3
When a submodule is initialized, the config variable 'submodule.<name>.url' is set depending on the value of the same variable in the .gitmodules file. When the URL indicates to be relative, then the url is computed relative to its default remote. The default remote cannot be determined accurately in all cases, such that it falls back to 'origin'. The 'origin' remote may not exist, though. In that case we give up looking for a suitable remote and we'll just assume it to be a local relative path. This can be confusing to users as there is a lot of guessing involved, which is not obvious to the user. So in the corner case of assuming a local autoritative truth, warn the user to lessen the confusion. This behavior was introduced in 4d6893200 (submodule add: allow relative repository path even when no url is set, 2011-06-06), which shared the code with submodule-init and then ported to C in 3604242f080a (submodule: port init from shell to C, 2016-04-15). In case of submodule-add, this behavior makes sense in some use cases[1], however for submodule-init there does not seem to be an immediate obvious use case to fall back to a local submodule. However there might be, so warn instead of die here. While adding the warning, also clarify the behavior of relative URLs in the documentation.

2017-02-20branch: record creation of renamed branch in HEAD's logLibravatar Kyle Meyer1-2/+3
Renaming the current branch adds an event to the current branch's log and to HEAD's log. However, the logged entries differ. The entry in the branch's log represents the entire renaming operation (the old and new hash are identical), whereas the entry in HEAD's log represents the deletion only (the new sha1 is null). Extend replace_each_worktree_head_symref(), whose only caller is branch_rename(), to take a reflog message argument. This allows the creation of the new ref to be recorded in HEAD's log. As a result, the renaming event is represented by two entries (a deletion and a creation entry) in HEAD's log. It's a bit unfortunate that the branch's log and HEAD's log now represent the renaming event in different ways. Given that the renaming operation is not atomic, the two-entry form is a more accurate representation of the operation and is more useful for debugging purposes if a failure occurs between the deletion and creation events. It would make sense to move the branch's log to the two-entry form, but this would involve changes to how the rename is carried out and to how the update flags and reflogs are processed for deletions, so it may not be worth the effort.

When the current branch is renamed with 'git branch -m/-M' or deleted with 'git update-ref -m<msg> -d', the event is recorded in HEAD's log with an empty message. In preparation for adding a more meaningful message to HEAD's log in these cases, update delete_ref() to take a message argument and pass it along to ref_transaction_delete(). Modify all callers to pass NULL for the new message argument; no change in behavior is intended. Note that this is relevant for HEAD's log but not for the deleted ref's log, which is currently deleted along with the ref. Even if it were not, an entry for the deletion wouldn't be present in the deleted ref's log. files_transaction_commit() writes to the log if REF_NEEDS_COMMIT or REF_LOG_ONLY are set, but lock_ref_for_update() doesn't set REF_NEEDS_COMMIT for the deleted ref because REF_DELETING is set. In contrast, the update for HEAD has REF_LOG_ONLY set by split_head_update(), resulting in the deletion being logged.

2017-02-17rev-parse: fix several options when running in a subdirectoryLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-4/+11
In addition to making git_path() aware of certain file names that need to be handled differently e.g. when running in worktrees, the commit 557bd833bb (git_path(): be aware of file relocation in $GIT_DIR, 2014-11-30) also snuck in a new option for `git rev-parse`: `--git-path`. On the face of it, there is no obvious bug in that commit's diff: it faithfully calls git_path() on the argument and prints it out, i.e. `git rev-parse --git-path <filename>` has the same precise behavior as calling `git_path("<filename>")` in C. The problem lies deeper, much deeper. In hindsight (which is always unfair), implementing the .git/ directory discovery in `setup_git_directory()` by changing the working directory may have allowed us to avoid passing around a struct that contains information about the current repository, but it bought us many, many problems. In this case, when being called in a subdirectory, `git rev-parse` changes the working directory to the top-level directory before calling `git_path()`. In the new working directory, the result is correct. But in the working directory of the calling script, it is incorrect. Example: when calling `git rev-parse --git-path HEAD` in, say, the Documentation/ subdirectory of Git's own source code, the string `.git/HEAD` is printed. Side note: that bug is hidden when running in a subdirectory of a worktree that was added by the `git worktree` command: in that case, the (correct) absolute path of the `HEAD` file is printed. In the interest of time, this patch does not go the "correct" route to introduce a struct with repository information (and removing global state in the process), instead this patch chooses to detect when the command was called in a subdirectory and forces the result to be an absolute path. While at it, we are also fixing the output of --git-common-dir and --shared-index-path. Lastly, please note that we reuse the same strbuf for all of the relative_path() calls; this avoids frequent allocation (and duplicated code), and it does not risk memory leaks, for two reasons: 1) the cmd_rev_parse() function does not return anywhere between the use of the new strbuf instance and its final release, and 2) git-rev-parse is one of these "one-shot" programs in Git, i.e. it exits after running for a very short time, meaning that all allocated memory is released with the exit() call anyway.

2017-02-14grep: treat revs the same for --untracked as for --no-indexLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+5
git-grep has always disallowed grepping in a tree (as opposed to the working directory) with both --untracked and --no-index. But we traditionally did so by first collecting the revs, and then complaining when any were provided. The --no-index option recently learned to detect revs much earlier. This has two user-visible effects: - we don't bother to resolve revision names at all. So when there's a rev/path ambiguity, we always choose to treat it as a path. - likewise, when you do specify a revision without "--", the error you get is "no such path" and not "--untracked cannot be used with revs". The rationale for doing this with --no-index is that it is meant to be used outside a repository, and so parsing revs at all does not make sense. This patch gives --untracked the same treatment. While it _is_ meant to be used in a repository, it is explicitly about grepping the non-repository contents. Telling the user "we found a rev, but you are not allowed to use revs" is not really helpful compared to "we treated your argument as a path, and could not find it".

If we are using --no-index, then our arguments cannot be revs in the first place. Not only is it pointless to diagnose them, but if we are not in a repository, we should not be trying to resolve any names. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-02-14grep: avoid resolving revision names in --no-index caseLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+6
We disallow the use of revisions with --no-index, but we don't actually check and complain until well after we've parsed the revisions. This is the cause of a few problems: 1. We shouldn't be calling get_sha1() at all when we aren't in a repository, as it might access the ref or object databases. For now, this should generally just return failure, but eventually it will become a BUG(). 2. When there's a "--" disambiguator and you're outside a repository, we'll complain early with "unable to resolve revision". But we can give a much more specific error. 3. When there isn't a "--" disambiguator, we still do the normal rev/path checks. This is silly, as we know we cannot have any revs with --no-index. Everything we see must be a path. Outside of a repository this doesn't matter (since we know it won't resolve), but inside one, we may complain unnecessarily if a filename happens to also match a refname. This patch skips the get_sha1() call entirely in the no-index case, and behaves as if it failed (with the exception of giving a better error message).

2017-02-14grep: fix "--" rev/pathspec disambiguationLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+24
If we see "git grep pattern rev -- file" then we apply the usual rev/pathspec disambiguation rules: any "rev" before the "--" must be a revision, and we do not need to apply the verify_non_filename() check. But there are two bugs here: 1. We keep a seen_dashdash flag to handle this case, but we set it in the same left-to-right pass over the arguments in which we parse "rev". So when we see "rev", we do not yet know that there is a "--", and we mistakenly complain if there is a matching file. We can fix this by making a preliminary pass over the arguments to find the "--", and only then checking the rev arguments. 2. If we can't resolve "rev" but there isn't a dashdash, that's OK. We treat it like a path, and complain later if it doesn't exist. But if there _is_ a dashdash, then we know it must be a rev, and should treat it as such, complaining if it does not resolve. The current code instead ignores it and tries to treat it like a path. This patch fixes both bugs, and tries to comment the parsing flow a bit better. It adds tests that cover the two bugs, but also some related situations (which already worked, but this confirms that our fixes did not break anything).

2017-02-14grep: re-order rev-parsing loopLibravatar Jeff King1-9/+11
We loop over the arguments, but every branch of the loop hits either a "continue" or a "break". Surely we can make this simpler. The final conditional is: if (arg is a rev) { ... handle rev ... continue; } break; We can rewrite this as: if (arg is not a rev) break; ... handle rev ... That makes the flow a little bit simpler, and will make things much easier to follow when we add more logic in future patches.

2017-02-14grep: do not unnecessarily query repo for "--"Libravatar Jonathan Tan1-4/+5
When running a command of the form git grep --no-index pattern -- path in the absence of a Git repository, an error message will be printed: fatal: BUG: setup_git_env called without repository This is because "git grep" tries to interpret "--" as a rev. "git grep" has always tried to first interpret "--" as a rev for at least a few years, but this issue was upgraded from a pessimization to a bug in commit 59332d1 ("Resurrect "git grep --no-index"", 2010-02-06), which calls get_sha1 regardless of whether --no-index was specified. This bug appeared to be benign until commit b1ef400 ("setup_git_env: avoid blind fall-back to ".git"", 2016-10-20) when Git was taught to die in this situation. (This "git grep" bug appears to be one of the bugs that commit b1ef400 is meant to flush out.) Therefore, always interpret "--" as signaling the end of options, instead of trying to interpret it as a rev first.

2017-02-14grep: move thread initialization a little lowerLibravatar Jeff King1-14/+14
Originally, we set up the threads for grep before parsing the non-option arguments. In 53b8d931b (grep: disable threading in non-worktree case, 2011-12-12), the thread code got bumped lower in the function because it now needed to know whether we got any revision arguments. That put a big block of code in between the parsing of revs and the parsing of pathspecs, both of which share some loop variables. That makes it harder to read the code than the original, where the shared loops were right next to each other. Let's bump the thread initialization until after all of the parsing is done.

2017-02-13gc: ignore old gc.log filesLibravatar David Turner1-7/+50
A server can end up in a state where there are lots of unreferenced loose objects (say, because many users are doing a bunch of rebasing and pushing their rebased branches). Running "git gc --auto" in this state would cause a gc.log file to be created, preventing future auto gcs, causing pack files to pile up. Since many git operations are O(n) in the number of pack files, this would lead to poor performance. Git should never get itself into a state where it refuses to do any maintenance, just because at some point some piece of the maintenance didn't make progress. Teach Git to ignore gc.log files which are older than (by default) one day old, which can be tweaked via the gc.logExpiry configuration variable. That way, these pack files will get cleaned up, if necessary, at least once per day. And operators who find a need for more-frequent gcs can adjust gc.logExpiry to meet their needs. There is also some cleanup: a successful manual gc, or a warning-free auto gc with an old log file, will remove any old gc.log files. It might still happen that manual intervention is required (e.g. because the repo is corrupt), but at the very least it won't be because Git is too dumb to try again.

2017-02-13ls-files: move only kept cache entries in prune_cache()Libravatar René Scharfe1-5/+4
prune_cache() first identifies those entries at the start of the sorted array that can be discarded. Then it moves the rest of the entries up. Last it identifies the unwanted trailing entries among the moved ones and cuts them off. Change the order: Identify both start *and* end of the range to keep first and then move only those entries to the top. The resulting code is slightly shorter and a bit more efficient.
