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.

2014-01-02gc: notice gc processes run by other usersLibravatar Kyle J. McKay1-1/+1
Since 64a99eb4 git gc refuses to run without the --force option if another gc process on the same repository is already running. However, if the repository is shared and user A runs git gc on the repository and while that gc is still running user B runs git gc on the same repository the gc process run by user A will not be noticed and the gc run by user B will go ahead and run. The problem is that the kill(pid, 0) test fails with an EPERM error since user B is not allowed to signal processes owned by user A (unless user B is root). Update the test to recognize an EPERM error as meaning the process exists and another gc should not be run (unless --force is given). Signed-off-by: Kyle J.

2013-12-27Remove the line length limit for graft filesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-4/+4
Support for grafts predates Git's strbuf, and hence it is understandable that there was a hard-coded line length limit of 1023 characters (which was chosen a bit awkwardly, given that it is *exactly* one byte short of aligning with the 41 bytes occupied by a commit name and the following space or new-line character). While regular commit histories hardly win comprehensibility in general if they merge more than twenty-two branches in one go, it is not Git's business to limit grafts in such a way. In this particular developer's case, the use case that requires substantially longer graft lines to be supported is the visualization of the commits' order implied by their changes: commits are considered to have an implicit relationship iff exchanging them in an interactive rebase would result in merge conflicts. Thusly implied branches tend to be very shallow in general, and the resulting thicket of implied branches is usually very wide; It is actually quite common that *most* of the commits in a topic branch have not even one implied parent, so that a final merge commit has about as many implied parents as there are commits in said branch.

The sha1write function returns an int, but it will always be "0". The failure-prone parts of the function happen in the "flush" callback, which cannot pass an error back to us. So we just end up calling die() during the flush. Let's just drop the return value altogether, as it only confuses callers into thinking that it might be useful. Only one call site actually checked the return value. We can drop that check, since it just led to a die() anyway.

git diff --no-index ... currently reads the index, during setup, when calling gitmodules_config(). This results in worse performance when the index is not actually needed. This patch avoids calling gitmodules_config() when the --no-index option is given.

To improve the possible usage as investigation tool for broken repositories, setup_git_directory_gently() is also not called when the --no-index option is given.

2013-12-12builtin/replace: unset read_replace_refsLibravatar Christian Couder1-0/+2
When checking to see if some objects are of the same type and when displaying the type of objects, git replace uses the sha1_object_info() function. Unfortunately this function by default respects replace refs, so instead of the type of a replaced object, it gives the type of the replacement object which might be different.

In many cases, it is much nicer to be able to list all the sha1 of the replaced objects along with the sha1 of the replacment objects.

This patch introduce a new --format=<fmt> option where <fmt> can be any of the following: 'short': this is the same as when no --format option is used, that is only the sha1 of the replaced objects are shown 'medium': this also lists the sha1 of the replacement objects 'full': this shows the sha1 and the type of both the replaced and the replacement objects Some documentation and some tests will follow.

2013-12-12cat-file: handle --batch format with missing type/sizeLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+10
Commit 98e2092 taught cat-file to stream blobs with --batch, which requires that we look up the object type before loading it into memory. As a result, we now print the object header from information in sha1_object_info, and the actual contents from the read_sha1_file. We double-check that the information we printed in the header matches the content we are about to show. Later, commit 93d2a60 allowed custom header lines for --batch, and commit 5b08640 made type lookups optional. As a result, specifying a header line without the type or size means that we will not look up those items at all. This causes our double-checking to erroneously die with an error; we think the type or size has changed, when in fact it was simply left at "0". For the size, we can fix this by only doing the consistency double-check when we have retrieved the size via sha1_object_info. In the case that we have not retrieved the value, that means we also did not print it, so there is nothing for us to check that we are consistent with. We could do the same for the type. However, besides our consistency check, we also care about the type in deciding whether to stream or not. So instead of handling the case where we do not know the type, this patch instead makes sure that we always trigger a type lookup when we are printing, so that even a format without the type will stream as we would in the normal case.

We currently individually pass the sha1, type, and size fields calculated by sha1_object_info. However, if we pass the whole struct, the called function can make more intelligent decisions about which fields were actually filled by sha1_object_info. This patch takes that first refactoring step, passing the whole struct, so further patches can make those decisions with less noise in their diffs. There should be no functional change to this patch (aside from a minor typo fix in the error message). As a side effect, we can rename the local variables in the function to "type" and "size", since the names are no longer taken.

2013-12-09rev-parse: be more careful with munging argumentsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+5
When rev-parse looks at whether an argument like "foo..bar" or "foobar^@" is a difference or parent-shorthand, it internally munges the arguments so that it can pass the individual rev arguments to get_sha1(). However, we do not consistently un-munge the result. For cases where we do not match (e.g., "doesnotexist..HEAD"), we would then want to try to treat the argument as a filename. try_difference gets() this right, and always unmunges in this case. However, try_parent_shorthand() never unmunges, leading to incorrect error messages, or even incorrect results: $ git rev-parse foobar^@ foobar fatal: ambiguous argument 'foobar': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this: 'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]' $ >foobar $ git rev-parse foobar^@ foobar For cases where we do match, neither function unmunges. This does not currently matter, since we are done with the argument. However, a future patch will do further processing, and this prepares for it. In addition, it's simply a confusing interface for some cases to modify the const argument, and others not to.
