"git status" has trouble showing where it came from by interpreting reflog entries that recordcertain events, e.g. "checkout @{u}", and gives a hard/fatal error. Even though it inherently is impossible to give a correct answer because the reflog entries lose some information (e.g. "@{u}" does not record what branch the user was on hence which branch 'the upstream' needs to be computed, and even if the record were available, the relationship between branches may have changed), at least hide the error to allow "status" show its output. * jt/interpret-branch-name-fallback: wt-status: tolerate dangling marks refs: move dwim_ref() to header file sha1-name: replace unsigned int with option struct

2020-09-08index-pack: make quantum of work smallerLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-148/+200
Currently, when index-pack resolves deltas, it does not split up delta trees into threads: each delta base root (an object that is not a REF_DELTA or OFS_DELTA) can go into its own thread, but all deltas on that root (direct or indirect) are processed in the same thread. This is a problem when a repository contains a large text file (thus, delta-able) that is modified many times - delta resolution time during fetching is dominated by processing the deltas corresponding to that text file. This patch contains a solution to that. When cloning using git -c core.deltabasecachelimit=1g clone \ https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/third_party/vulkan-cts on my laptop, clone time improved from 3m2s to 2m5s (using 3 threads, which is the default). The solution is to have a global work stack. This stack contains delta bases (objects, whether appearing directly in the packfile or generated by delta resolution, that themselves have delta children) that need to be processed; whenever a thread needs work, it peeks at the top of the stack and processes its next unprocessed child. If a thread finds the stack empty, it will look for more delta base roots to push on the stack instead. The main weakness of having a global work stack is that more time is spent in the mutex, but profiling has shown that most time is spent in the resolution of the deltas themselves, so this shouldn't be an issue in practice. In any case, experimentation (as described in the clone command above) shows that this patch is a net improvement.

2020-09-08format-patch: use 'origin' as start of current-series-range when knownLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-7/+11
When formatting a patch series over `origin..HEAD`, one would expect that range to be used as the current-series-range when computing a range-diff between the previous and current versions of a patch series. However, infer_range_diff_ranges() ignores `origin..HEAD` when --range-diff=<prev> specifies a single revision rather than a range, and instead unexpectedly computes the current-series-range based upon <prev>. Address this anomaly by unconditionally using `origin..HEAD` as the current-series-range regardless of <prev> as long as `origin` is known, and only fall back to basing current-series-range on <prev> when `origin` is not known.

2020-09-08diff-lib: tighten show_interdiff()'s interfaceLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-1/+2
To compute and show an interdiff, show_interdiff() needs only the two OID's to compare and a diffopts, yet it expects callers to supply an entire rev_info. The demand for rev_info is not only overkill, but also places unnecessary burden on potential future callers which might not otherwise have a rev_info at hand. Address this by tightening its signature to require only the items it needs instead of a full rev_info.

Like `git switch` and `git checkout`, `git worktree add` can check out a branch or set up a detached HEAD. However, unlike those other commands, `git worktree add` does not understand -d as shorthand for --detach, which may confound users accustomed to using -d for this purpose.

2020-09-06push: release strbufs used for refspec formattingLibravatar René Scharfe1-12/+22
map_refspec() either returns the passed in ref string or a detached strbuf. This makes it hard for callers to release the possibly allocated memory, and set_refspecs() consequently leaks it. Let map_refspec() append any refspecs directly and release its own strbufs after use. Rename it to refspec_append_mapped() and don't return anything to reflect its increased responsibility. set_refspecs() also leaks its strbufs. Do the same here and directly call refspec_append() in each if branch instead of holding onto a detached strbuf, then dispose of the allocated memory after use. We need to add an else branch for the final call because all the other conditional branches already add their formatted refspec now. setup_push_upstream() and setup_push_current() forgot to release their strbufs as well; plug these leaks, too, while at it. None of these leaks were likely to impact users, because the number and sizes of refspecs are usually small and the allocations are only done once per program run. Clean them up nevertheless, as another step on the long road towards zero memory leaks. Signed-off-by: René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-09-06fetch: do not look for submodule changes in unchanged refsLibravatar Orgad Shaneh1-1/+3
When fetching recursively with submodules, for each ref in the superproject, we call check_for_new_submodule_commits() which collects all the objects that have to be checked for submodule changes on calculate_changed_submodule_paths(). On the first call, it also collects all the existing refs for excluding them from the scan. calculate_changed_submodule_paths() creates an argument array with all the collected new objects, followed by --not and all the old objects. This argv is passed to setup_revisions, which parses each argument, converts it back to an oid and resolves the object. The parsing itself also does redundant work, because it is treated like user input, while in fact it is a full oid. So it needlessly attempts to look it up as ref (checks if it has ^, ~ etc.), checks if it is a file name etc. For a repository with many refs, all of this is expensive. But if the fetch in the superproject did not update the ref (i.e. the objects that are required to exist in the submodule did not change), there is no need to include it in the list. Before commit be76c212 (fetch: ensure submodule objects fetched, 2018-12-06), submodule reference changes were only detected for refs that were changed, but not for new refs. This commit covered also this case, but what it did was to just include every ref. This change should reduce the number of scanned refs by about half (except the case of a no-op fetch, which will not scan any ref), because all the existing refs will still be listed after --not.

2020-09-02wt-status: tolerate dangling marksLibravatar Jonathan Tan8-9/+9
When a user checks out the upstream branch of HEAD, the upstream branch not being a local branch, and then runs "git status", like this: git clone $URL client cd client git checkout @{u} git status no status is printed, but instead an error message: fatal: HEAD does not point to a branch (This error message when running "git branch" persists even after checking out other things - it only stops after checking out a branch.) This is because "git status" reads the reflog when determining the "HEAD detached" message, and thus attempts to DWIM "@{u}", but that doesn't work because HEAD no longer points to a branch. Therefore, when calculating the status of a worktree, tolerate dangling marks. This is done by adding an additional parameter to dwim_ref() and repo_dwim_ref().

This message is misleading in this case, because FETCH_HEAD is not written. Also, because "fetch" is used to lazy-fetch missing objects in a partial clone, this significantly clutters up the output in that case since the objects to be fetched are potentially numerous.

2020-08-31init: make --separate-git-dir work from within linked worktreeLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-0/+24
The intention of `git init --separate-work-dir=<path>` is to move the .git/ directory to a location outside of the main worktree. When used within a linked worktree, however, rather than moving the .git/ directory as intended, it instead incorrectly moves the worktree's .git/worktrees/<id> directory to <path>, thus disconnecting the linked worktree from its parent repository and breaking the worktree in the process since its local .git file no longer points at a location at which it can find the object database. Fix this broken behavior. An intentional side-effect of this change is that it also closes a loophole not caught by ccf236a23a (init: disallow --separate-git-dir with bare repository, 2020-08-09) in which the check to prevent --separate-git-dir being used in conjunction with a bare repository was unable to detect the invalid combination when invoked from within a linked worktree. Therefore, add a test to verify that this loophole is closed, as well.

2020-08-31init: teach --separate-git-dir to repair linked worktreesLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-0/+2
A linked worktree's .git file is a "gitfile" pointing at the .git/worktrees/<id> directory within the repository. When `git init --separate-git-dir=<path>` is used on an existing repository to relocate the repository's .git/ directory to a different location, it neglects to update the .git files of linked worktrees, thus breaking the worktrees by making it impossible for them to locate the repository.

2020-08-31worktree: teach "repair" to fix outgoing links to worktreesLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-2/+5
The .git/worktrees/<id>/gitdir file points at the location of a linked worktree's .git file. Its content must be of the form /path/to/worktree/.git (from which the location of the worktree itself can be derived by stripping the "/.git" suffix). If the gitdir file is deleted or becomes corrupted or outdated, then Git will be unable to find the linked worktree. An easy way for the gitdir file to become outdated is for the user to move the worktree manually (without using "git worktree move"). Although it is possible to manually update the gitdir file to reflect the new linked worktree location, doing so requires a level of knowledge about worktree internals beyond what a user should be expected to know offhand. Therefore, teach "git worktree repair" how to repair broken or outdated .git/worktrees/<id>/gitdir files automatically. (For this to work, the command must either be invoked from within the worktree whose gitdir file requires repair, or from within the main or any linked worktree by providing the path of the broken worktree as an argument to "git worktree repair".)
