2014-03-18Merge branch 'jc/check-attr-honor-working-tree' into maintLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
"git check-attr" when working on a repository with a working tree did not work well when the working tree was specified via the --work-tree (and obviously with --git-dir) option. * jc/check-attr-honor-working-tree: check-attr: move to the top of working tree when in non-bare repository t0003: do not chdir the whole test process

Allow "git cmd path/", when the 'path' is where a submodule is bound to the top-level working tree, to match 'path', despite the extra and unnecessary trailing slash (such a slash is often given by command line completion). * nd/submodule-pathspec-ending-with-slash: clean: use cache_name_is_other() clean: replace match_pathspec() with dir_path_match() pathspec: pass directory indicator to match_pathspec_item() match_pathspec: match pathspec "foo/" against directory "foo" dir.c: prepare match_pathspec_item for taking more flags pathspec: rename match_pathspec_depth() to match_pathspec() pathspec: convert some match_pathspec_depth() to dir_path_match() pathspec: convert some match_pathspec_depth() to ce_path_match()

2014-02-24clean: replace match_pathspec() with dir_path_match()Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+1
This instance was left out when many match_pathspec() call sites that take input from dir_entry were converted to dir_path_match() because it passed a path with the trailing slash stripped out to match_pathspec() while the others did not. Stripping for all call sites back then would be a regression because match_pathspec() did not know how to match pathspec foo/ against _directory_ foo (the stripped version of path "foo/"). match_pathspec() knows how to do it now. And dir_path_match() strips the trailing slash also. Use the new function, because the stripping code is removed in the next patch.

2014-02-24pathspec: pass directory indicator to match_pathspec_item()Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2-3/+4
This patch activates the DO_MATCH_DIRECTORY code in m_p_i(), which makes "git diff HEAD submodule/" and "git diff HEAD submodule" produce the same output. Previously only the version without trailing slash returns the difference (if any). That's the effect of new ce_path_match(). dir_path_match() is not executed by the new tests. And it should not introduce regressions. Previously if path "dir/" is passed in with pathspec "dir/", they obviously match. With new dir_path_match(), the path becomes _directory_ "dir" vs pathspec "dir/", which is not executed by the old code path in m_p_i(). The new code path is executed and produces the same result. The other case is pathspec "dir" and path "dir/" is now turned to "dir" (with DO_MATCH_DIRECTORY). Still the same result before or after the patch. So why change? Because of the next patch about clean.c. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-02-24pathspec: rename match_pathspec_depth() to match_pathspec()Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy3-5/+7
A long time ago, for some reason I was not happy with match_pathspec(). I created a better version, match_pathspec_depth() that was suppose to replace match_pathspec() eventually. match_pathspec() has finally been gone since 6 months ago.

This helps reduce the number of match_pathspec_depth() call sites and show how m_p_d() is used. And it usage is: - match against an index entry (ce_path_match or match_pathspec_depth in ls-files) - match against a dir_entry from read_directory (dir_path_match and match_pathspec_depth in clean.c, which will be converted later) - resolve-undo (rerere.c and ls-files.c) Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-02-06check-attr: move to the top of working tree when in non-bare repositoryLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
Lasse Makholm noticed that running "git check-attr" from a place totally unrelated to $GIT_DIR and $GIT_WORK_TREE does not give expected results. I think it is because the command does not say it wants to call setup_work_tree(). We still need to support use cases where only a bare repository is involved, so unconditionally requiring a working tree would not work well. Instead, make a call only in a non-bare repository. We may want to see if we want to do a similar fix in the opposite direction to check-ignore. The command unconditionally requires a working tree, but it should be usable in a bare repository just like check-attr attempts to be. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Finishing touches to the "rewrite repack in C" series. * 'tb/repack-fix-renames' (early part): repack.c: rename and unlink pack file if it exists
2014-02-05repack.c: rename and unlink pack file if it existsLibravatar Torsten Bögershausen1-2/+2
When a repo was fully repacked, and is repacked again, we may run into the situation that "new" packfiles have the same name as already existing ones (traditionally packfiles have been named after the list of names of objects in them, so repacking all the objects in a single pack would have produced a packfile with the same name). The logic is to rename the existing ones into filename like "old-XXX", create the new ones and then remove the "old-" ones. When something went wrong in the middle, this sequence is rolled back by renaming the "old-" files back. The renaming into "old-" did not work as intended, because file_exists() was done on "XXX", not "pack-XXX". Also when rolling back the change, the code tried to rename "old-pack-XXX" but the saved ones are named "old-XXX", so this couldn't have worked.

2014-01-23repack: propagate pack-objects options as stringsLibravatar Jeff King1-11/+11
In the original shell version of git-repack, any options destined for pack-objects were left as strings, and passed as a whole. Since the C rewrite in commit a1bbc6c (repack: rewrite the shell script in C, 2013-09-15), we now parse these values to integers internally, then reformat the integers when passing the option to pack-objects. This has the advantage that we catch format errors earlier (i.e., when repack is invoked, rather than when pack-objects is invoked). It has three disadvantages, though: 1. Our internal data types may not be the right size. In the case of "--window-memory" and "--max-pack-size", these are "unsigned long" in pack-objects, but we can only represent a regular "int". 2. Our parsing routines might not be the same as those of pack-objects. For the two options above, pack-objects understands "100m" to mean "100 megabytes", but repack does not. 3. We have to keep a sentinel value to know whether it is worth passing the option along. In the case of "--window-memory", we currently do not pass it if the value is "0". But that is a meaningful value to pack-objects, where it overrides any configured value. We can fix all of these by simply passing the strings from the user along to pack-objects verbatim. This does not actually fix anything for "--depth" or "--window", but these are converted, too, for consistency.

The previous commit c57f628 (mv: let 'git mv file no-such-dir/' error out) relies on that rename("file", "no-such-dir/") fails if the directory does not exist (note the trailing slash).

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).
