2008-11-28git add --intent-to-add: fix removal of cached emptinessLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
This uses the extended index flag mechanism introduced earlier to mark the entries added to the index via "git add -N" with CE_INTENT_TO_ADD. The logic to detect an "intent to add" entry for the purpose of allowing "git rm --cached $path" is tightened to check not just for a staged empty blob, but with the CE_INTENT_TO_ADD bit. This protects an empty blob that was explicitly added and then modified in the work tree from being dropped with this sequence: $ >empty $ git add empty $ echo "non empty" >empty $ git rm --cached empty Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-11-14Add cache preload facilityLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+3
This can do the lstat() storm in parallel, giving potentially much improved performance for cold-cache cases or things like NFS that have weak metadata caching. Just use "read_cache_preload()" instead of "read_cache()" to force an optimistic preload of the index stat data. The function takes a pathspec as its argument, allowing us to preload only the relevant portion of the index.

2008-11-12checkout: Fix "initial checkout" detectionLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
Earlier commit 5521883 (checkout: do not lose staged removal, 2008-09-07) tightened the rule to prevent switching branches from losing local changes, so that staged removal of paths can be protected, while attempting to keep a loophole to still allow a special case of switching out of an un-checked-out state. However, the loophole was made a bit too tight, and did not allow switching from one branch (in an un-checked-out state) to check out another branch. The change to builtin-checkout.c in this commit loosens it to allow this, by not insisting the original commit and the new commit to be the same. It also introduces a new function, is_index_unborn (and an associated macro, is_cache_unborn), to check if the repository is truly in an un-checked-out state more reliably, by making sure that $GIT_INDEX_FILE did not exist when populating the in-core index structure. A few places the earlier commit 5521883 added the check for the initial checkout condition are updated to use this function. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-11-02make unpack_object_header() non fatalLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+1
It is possible to have pack corruption in the object header. Currently unpack_object_header() simply die() on them instead of letting the caller deal with that gracefully. So let's have unpack_object_header() return an error instead, and find a better name for unpack_object_header_gently() in that context. All callers of unpack_object_header() are ready for it.

2008-11-02close another possibility for propagating pack corruptionLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-0/+3
Abstract -------- With index v2 we have a per object CRC to allow quick and safe reuse of pack data when repacking. This, however, doesn't currently prevent a stealth corruption from being propagated into a new pack when _not_ reusing pack data as demonstrated by the modification to t5302 included here. The Context ----------- The Git database is all checksummed with SHA1 hashes. Any kind of corruption can be confirmed by verifying this per object hash against corresponding data. However this can be costly to perform systematically and therefore this check is often not performed at run time when accessing the object database. First, the loose object format is entirely compressed with zlib which already provide a CRC verification of its own when inflating data. Any disk corruption would be caught already in this case. Then, packed objects are also compressed with zlib but only for their actual payload. The object headers and delta base references are not deflated for obvious performance reasons, however this leave them vulnerable to potentially undetected disk corruptions. Object types are often validated against the expected type when they're requested, and deflated size must always match the size recorded in the object header, so those cases are pretty much covered as well. Where corruptions could go unnoticed is in the delta base reference. Of course, in the OBJ_REF_DELTA case, the odds for a SHA1 reference to get corrupted so it actually matches the SHA1 of another object with the same size (the delta header stores the expected size of the base object to apply against) are virtually zero. In the OBJ_OFS_DELTA case, the reference is a pack offset which would have to match the start boundary of a different base object but still with the same size, and although this is relatively much more "probable" than in the OBJ_REF_DELTA case, the probability is also about zero in absolute terms. Still, the possibility exists as demonstrated in t5302 and is certainly greater than a SHA1 collision, especially in the OBJ_OFS_DELTA case which is now the default when repacking. Again, repacking by reusing existing pack data is OK since the per object CRC provided by index v2 guards against any such corruptions. What t5302 failed to test is a full repack in such case. The Solution ------------ As unlikely as this kind of stealth corruption can be in practice, it certainly isn't acceptable to propagate it into a freshly created pack. But, because this is so unlikely, we don't want to pay the run time cost associated with extra validation checks all the time either. Furthermore, consequences of such corruption in anything but repacking should be rather visible, and even if it could be quite unpleasant, it still has far less severe consequences than actively creating bad packs. So the best compromize is to check packed object CRC when unpacking objects, and only during the compression/writing phase of a repack, and only when not streaming the result. The cost of this is minimal (less than 1% CPU time), and visible only with a full repack. Someone with a stats background could provide an objective evaluation of this, but I suspect that it's bad RAM that has more potential for data corruptions at this point, even in those cases where this extra check is not performed. Still, it is best to prevent a known hole for corruption when recreating object data into a new pack. What about the streamed pack case? Well, any client receiving a pack must always consider that pack as untrusty and perform full validation anyway, hence no such stealth corruption could be propagated to remote repositoryes already. It is therefore worthless doing local validation in that case. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-10-22rm: loosen safety valve for empty filesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
If a file is different between the working tree copy, the index, and the HEAD, then we do not allow it to be deleted without --force. However, this is overly tight in the face of "git add --intent-to-add": $ git add --intent-to-add file $ : oops, I don't actually want to stage that yet $ git rm --cached file error: 'empty' has staged content different from both the file and the HEAD (use -f to force removal) $ git rm -f --cached file Unfortunately, there is currently no way to distinguish between an empty file that has been added and an "intent to add" file. The ideal behavior would be to disallow the former while allowing the latter. This patch loosens the safety valve to allow the deletion only if we are deleting the cached entry and the cached content is empty. This covers the intent-to-add situation, and assumes there is little harm in not protecting users who have legitimately added an empty file. In many cases, the file will still be empty, in which case the safety valve does not trigger anyway (since the content remains untouched in the working tree). Otherwise, we do remove the fact that no content was staged, but given that the content is by definition empty, it is not terribly difficult for a user to recreate it. However, we still document the desired behavior in the form of two tests. One checks the correct removal of an intent-to-add file. The other checks that we still disallow removal of empty files, but is marked as expect_failure to indicate this compromise. If the intent-to-add feature is ever extended to differentiate between normal empty files and intent-to-add files, then the safety valve can be re-tightened.

2008-10-17refactor handling of "other" files in ls-files and statusLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
When the "git status" display code was originally converted to C, we copied the code from ls-files to discover whether a pathname returned by read_directory was an "other", or untracked, file. Much later, 5698454e updated the code in ls-files to handle some new cases caused by gitlinks. This left the code in wt-status.c broken: it would display submodule directories as untracked directories. Nobody noticed until now, however, because unless status.showUntrackedFiles was set to "all", submodule directories were not actually reported by read_directory. So the bug was only triggered in the presence of a submodule _and_ this config option. This patch pulls the ls-files code into a new function, cache_name_is_other, and uses it in both places. This should leave the ls-files functionality the same and fix the bug in status. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The on-disk format of index only saves 16 bit flags, nearly all have been used. The last bit (CE_EXTENDED) is used to for future extension. This patch extends index entry format to save more flags in future. The new entry format will be used when CE_EXTENDED bit is 1. Because older implementation may not understand CE_EXTENDED bit and misread the new format, if there is any extended entry in index, index header version will turn 3, which makes it incompatible for older git. If there is none, header version will return to 2 again. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

Compilation of git is probably broken on PPC too for the same reason. Turns out that the only file requiring openssl/ssl.h and openssl/err.h is imap-send.c. But only moving those problematic includes there doesn't solve the issue as it also includes cache.h which brings in the conflicting local SHA1 header file. As suggested by Jeff King, the best solution is to rename our references to SHA1 functions and structure to something git specific, and define those according to the implementation used.

2008-09-09push: receiver end advertises refs from alternate repositoriesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
Earlier, when pushing into a repository that borrows from alternate object stores, we followed the longstanding design decision not to trust refs in the alternate repository that houses the object store we are borrowing from. If your public repository is borrowing from Linus's public repository, you pushed into it long time ago, and now when you try to push your updated history that is in sync with more recent history from Linus, you will end up sending not just your own development, but also the changes you acquired through Linus's tree, even though the objects needed for the latter already exists at the receiving end. This is because the receiving end does not advertise that the objects only reachable from the borrowed repository (i.e. Linus's) are already available there. This solves the issue by making the receiving end advertise refs from borrowed repositories. They are not sent with their true names but with a phoney name ".have" to make sure that the old senders will safely ignore them (otherwise, the old senders will misbehave, trying to push matching refs, and mirror push that deletes refs that only exist at the receiving end).

2008-09-09push: prepare sender to receive extended ref information from the receiverLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+5
"git push" enhancement allows the receiving end to report not only its own refs but refs in repositories it borrows from via the alternate object store mechanism. By telling the sender that objects reachable from these extra refs are already complete in the receiving end, the number of objects that need to be transfered can be cut down. These entries are sent over the wire with string ".have", instead of the actual names of the refs. This string was chosen so that they are ignored by older programs at the sending end. If we sent some random but valid looking refnames for these entries, "matching refs" rule (triggered when running "git push" without explicit refspecs, where the sender learns what refs the receiver has, and updates only the ones with the names of the refs the sender also has) and "delete missing" rule (triggered when "git push --mirror" is used, where the sender tells the receiver to delete the refs it itself does not have) would try to update/delete them, which is not what we want. This prepares the send-pack (and "push" that runs native protocol) to accept extended existing ref information and make use of it. The ".have" entries are excluded from ref matching rules, and are exempt from deletion rule while pushing with --mirror option, but are still used for pack generation purposes by providing more "bottom" range commits.

2008-08-23unpack_trees(): protect the handcrafted in-core index from read_cache()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
unpack_trees() rebuilds the in-core index from scratch by allocating a new structure and finishing it off by copying the built one to the final index. The resulting in-core index is Ok for most use, but read_cache() does not recognize it as such. The function is meant to be no-op if you already have loaded the index, until you call discard_cache(). This change the way read_cache() detects an already initialized in-core index, by introducing an extra bit, and marks the handcrafted in-core index as initialized, to avoid this problem. A better fix in the longer term would be to change the read_cache() API so that it will always discard and re-read from the on-disk index to avoid confusion. But there are higher level API that have relied on the current semantics, and they and their users all need to get converted, which is outside the scope of 'maint' track. An example of such a higher level API is write_cache_as_tree(), which is used by git-write-tree as well as later Porcelains like git-merge, revert and cherry-pick. In the longer term, we should remove read_cache() from there and add one to cmd_write_tree(); other callers expect that the in-core index they prepared is what gets written as a tree so no other change is necessary for this particular codepath. The original version of this patch marked the index by pointing an otherwise wasted malloc'ed memory with o->result.alloc, but this version uses Linus's idea to use a new "initialized" bit, which is conceptually much cleaner.

The rewrite of git-mv from a shell script to a builtin was perhaps a little too straightforward: the git add and git rm queues were emulated directly, which resulted in a rather complicated code and caused an inconsistent behaviour when moving dirty index entries; git mv would update the entry based on working tree state, except in case of overwrites, where the new entry would still have sha1 of the old file. This patch introduces rename_index_entry_at() into the index toolkit, which will rename an entry while removing any entries the new entry might render duplicate. This is then used in git mv instead of all the file queues, resulting in a major simplification of the code and an inevitable change in git mv -n output format. Also the code used to refuse renaming overwriting symlink with a regular file and vice versa; there is no need for that. A few new tests have been added to the testsuite to reflect this change.

A private function add_files_to_cache() in builtin-add.c was borrowed by checkout and commit re-implementors without getting properly refactored to more library-ish place. This does the refactoring. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
