2015-08-19config.c: rename git_config_maybe_bool_text and export it as ↵Libravatar Dave Borowitz1-0/+1
git_parse_maybe_bool This helper function does not complain about the config variable but just silently reports failure to the caller. It is useful for callers that need to parse any string that could be boolean or other string (e.g. tristate yes/no/auto).

2015-05-06path.c: remove home_config_paths()Libravatar Paul Tan1-1/+0
home_config_paths() combines distinct functionality already implemented by expand_user_path() and xdg_config_home(), and it also hard-codes the path ~/.gitconfig, which makes it unsuitable to use for other home config file paths.

2015-05-06path.c: implement xdg_config_home()Libravatar Paul Tan1-0/+7
The XDG base dir spec[1] specifies that configuration files be stored in a subdirectory in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME. To construct such a configuration file path, home_config_paths() can be used. However, home_config_paths() combines distinct functionality: 1. Retrieve the home git config file path ~/.gitconfig 2. Construct the XDG config path of the file specified by `file`. This function was introduced in commit 21cf3227 ("read (but not write) from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file"). While the intention of the function was to allow the home directory configuration file path and the xdg directory configuration file path to be retrieved with one function call, the hard-coding of the path ~/.gitconfig prevents it from being used for other configuration files. Furthermore, retrieving a file path relative to the user's home directory can be done with expand_user_path(). Hence, it can be seen that home_config_paths() introduces unnecessary complexity, especially if a user just wants to retrieve the xdg config file path. As such, implement a simpler function xdg_config_home() for constructing the XDG base dir spec configuration file path. This function, together with expand_user_path(), can replace all uses of home_config_paths().

2015-05-05hash-object --literally: fix buffer overrun with extra-long object typeLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-0/+1
"hash-object" learned in 5ba9a93 (hash-object: add --literally option, 2014-09-11) to allow crafting a corrupt/broken object of unknown type. When the user-provided type is particularly long, however, it can overflow the relatively small stack-based character array handed to write_sha1_file_prepare() by hash_sha1_file() and write_sha1_file(), leading to stack corruption (and crash). Introduce a custom helper to allow arbitrarily long typenames just for "hash-object --literally".

2015-04-20sha1_file: only freshen packs once per runLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
Since 33d4221 (write_sha1_file: freshen existing objects, 2014-10-15), we update the mtime of existing objects that we would have written out (had they not existed). For the common case in which many objects are packed, we may update the mtime on a single packfile repeatedly. This can result in a noticeable performance problem if calling utime() is expensive (e.g., because your storage is on NFS). We can fix this by keeping a per-pack flag that lets us freshen only once per program invocation. An alternative would be to keep the packed_git.mtime flag up to date as we freshen, and freshen only once every N seconds. In practice, it's not worth the complexity. We are racing against prune expiration times here, which inherently must be set to accomodate reasonable program running times (because they really care about the time between an object being written and it becoming referenced, and the latter is typically the last step a program takes).

2015-04-20reachable: only mark local objects as recentLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+5
When pruning and repacking a repository that has an alternate object store configured, we may traverse a large number of objects in the alternate. This serves no purpose, and may be expensive to do. A longer explanation is below. Commits d3038d2 and abcb865 taught prune and pack-objects (respectively) to treat "recent" objects as tips for reachability, so that we keep whole chunks of history. They built on the object traversal in 660c889 (sha1_file: add for_each iterators for loose and packed objects, 2014-10-15), which covers both local and alternate objects. In both cases, covering alternate objects is unnecessary, as both commands can only drop objects from the local repository. In the case of prune, we traverse only the local object directory. And in the case of repacking, while we may or may not include local objects in our pack, we will never reach into the alternate with "repack -d". The "-l" option is only a question of whether we are migrating objects from the alternate into our repository, or leaving them untouched. It is possible that we may drop an object that is depended upon by another object in the alternate. For example, imagine two repositories, A and B, with A pointing to B as an alternate. Now imagine a commit that is in B which references a tree that is only in A. Traversing from recent objects in B might prevent A from dropping that tree. But this case isn't worth covering. Repo B should take responsibility for its own objects. It would never have had the commit in the first place if it did not also have the tree, and assuming it is using the same "keep recent chunks of history" scheme, then it would itself keep the tree, as well. So checking the alternate objects is not worth doing, and come with a significant performance impact. In both cases, we skip any recent objects that have already been marked SEEN (i.e., that we know are already reachable for prune, or included in the pack for a repack). So there is a slight waste of time in opening the alternate packs at all, only to notice that we have already considered each object. But much worse, the alternate repository may have a large number of objects that are not reachable from the local repository at all, and we end up adding them to the traversal. We can fix this by considering only local unseen objects. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-03-24report_path_error(): move to dir.cLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
The expected call sequence is for the caller to use match_pathspec() repeatedly on a set of pathspecs, accumulating the "hits" in a separate array, and then call this function to diagnose a pathspec that never matched anything, as that can indicate a typo from the command line, e.g. "git commit Maekfile". Many builtin commands use this function from builtin/ls-files.c, which is not a very healthy arrangement. ls-files might have been the first command to feel the need for such a helper, but the need is shared by everybody who uses the "match and then report" pattern. Move it to dir.c where match_pathspec() is defined. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-03-20refs: introduce a "ref paranoia" flagLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+8
Most operations that iterate over refs are happy to ignore broken cruft. However, some operations should be performed with knowledge of these broken refs, because it is better for the operation to choke on a missing object than it is to silently pretend that the ref did not exist (e.g., if we are computing the set of reachable tips in order to prune objects). These processes could just call for_each_rawref, except that ref iteration is often hidden behind other interfaces. For instance, for a destructive "repack -ad", we would have to inform "pack-objects" that we are destructive, and then it would in turn have to tell the revision code that our "--all" should include broken refs. It's much simpler to just set a global for "dangerous" operations that includes broken refs in all iterations.

2015-02-05decimal_width: avoid integer overflowLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The decimal_width function originally appeared in blame.c as "lineno_width", and was designed for calculating the print-width of small-ish integer values (line numbers in text files). In ec7ff5b, it was made into a reusable function, and in dc801e7, we started using it to align diffstats. Binary files in a diffstat show byte counts rather than line numbers, meaning they can be quite large (e.g., consider adding or removing a 2GB file). decimal_width is not up to the challenge for two reasons: 1. It takes the value as an "int", whereas large files may easily surpass this. The value may be truncated, in which case we will produce an incorrect value. 2. It counts "up" by repeatedly multiplying another integer by 10 until it surpasses the value. This can cause an infinite loop when the value is close to the largest representable integer. For example, consider using a 32-bit signed integer, and a value of 2,140,000,000 (just shy of 2^31-1). We will count up and eventually see that 1,000,000,000 is smaller than our value. The next step would be to multiply by 10 and see that 10,000,000,000 is too large, ending the loop. But we can't represent that value, and we have signed overflow. This is technically undefined behavior, but a common behavior is to lose the high bits, in which case our iterator will certainly be less than the number. So we'll keep multiplying, overflow again, and so on. This patch changes the argument to a uintmax_t (the same type we use to store the diffstat information for binary filese), and counts "down" by repeatedly dividing our value by 10.

2014-12-17read-cache: optionally disallow NTFS .git variantsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+1
The point of disallowing ".git" in the index is that we would never want to accidentally overwrite files in the repository directory. But this means we need to respect the filesystem's idea of when two paths are equal. The prior commit added a helper to make such a comparison for NTFS and FAT32; let's use it in verify_path(). We make this check optional for two reasons: 1. It restricts the set of allowable filenames, which is unnecessary for people who are not on NTFS nor FAT32. In practice this probably doesn't matter, though, as the restricted names are rather obscure and almost certainly would never come up in practice. 2. It has a minor performance penalty for every path we insert into the index. This patch ties the check to the core.protectNTFS config option. Though this is expected to be most useful on Windows, we allow it to be set everywhere, as NTFS may be mounted on other platforms. The variable does default to on for Windows, though.

2014-12-17path: add is_ntfs_dotgit() helperLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+1
We do not allow paths with a ".git" component to be added to the index, as that would mean repository contents could overwrite our repository files. However, asking "is this path the same as .git" is not as simple as strcmp() on some filesystems. On NTFS (and FAT32), there exist so-called "short names" for backwards-compatibility: 8.3 compliant names that refer to the same files as their long names. As ".git" is not an 8.3 compliant name, a short name is generated automatically, typically "git~1". Depending on the Windows version, any combination of trailing spaces and periods are ignored, too, so that both "git~1." and ".git." still refer to the Git directory. The reason is that 8.3 stores file names shorter than 8 characters with trailing spaces. So literally, it does not matter for the short name whether it is padded with spaces or whether it is shorter than 8 characters, it is considered to be the exact same. The period is the separator between file name and file extension, and again, an empty extension consists just of spaces in 8.3 format. So technically, we would need only take care of the equivalent of this regex: (\.git {0,4}|git~1 {0,3})\. {0,3} However, there are indications that at least some Windows versions might be more lenient and accept arbitrary combinations of trailing spaces and periods and strip them out. So we're playing it real safe here. Besides, there can be little doubt about the intention behind using file names matching even the more lenient pattern specified above, therefore we should be fine with disallowing such patterns. Extra care is taken to catch names such as '.\\.git\\booh' because the backslash is marked as a directory separator only on Windows, and we want to use this new helper function also in fsck on other platforms. A big thank you goes to Ed Thomson and an unnamed Microsoft engineer for the detailed analysis performed to come up with the corresponding fixes for libgit2. This commit adds a function to detect whether a given file name can refer to the Git directory by mistake.

Prune has to walk $GIT_DIR/objects/?? in order to find the set of loose objects to prune. Other parts of the code (e.g., count-objects) want to do the same. Let's factor it out into a reusable for_each-style function. Note that this is not quite a straight code movement. The original code had strange behavior when it found a file of the form "[0-9a-f]{2}/.{38}" that did _not_ contain all hex digits. It executed a "break" from the loop, meaning that we stopped pruning in that directory (but still pruned other directories!). This was probably a bug; we do not want to process the file as an object, but we should keep going otherwise (and that is how the new code handles it). We are also a little more careful with loose object directories which fail to open. The original code silently ignored any failures, but the new code will complain about any problems besides ENOENT.

2014-10-15refs.c: allow listing and deleting badly named refsLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-2/+15
We currently do not handle badly named refs well: $ cp .git/refs/heads/master .git/refs/heads/master.....@\*@\\. $ git branch fatal: Reference has invalid format: 'refs/heads/master.....@*@\.' $ git branch -D master.....@\*@\\. error: branch 'master.....@*@\.' not found. Users cannot recover from a badly named ref without manually finding and deleting the loose ref file or appropriate line in packed-refs. Making that easier will make it easier to tweak the ref naming rules in the future, for example to forbid shell metacharacters like '`' and '"', without putting people in a state that is hard to get out of. So allow "branch --list" to show these refs and allow "branch -d/-D" and "update-ref -d" to delete them. Other commands (for example to rename refs) will continue to not handle these refs but can be changed in later patches. Details: In resolving functions, refuse to resolve refs that don't pass the git-check-ref-format(1) check unless the new RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME flag is passed. Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, refuse to resolve refs that escape the refs/ directory and do not match the pattern [A-Z_]* (think "HEAD" and "MERGE_HEAD"). In locking functions, refuse to act on badly named refs unless they are being deleted and either are in the refs/ directory or match [A-Z_]*. Just like other invalid refs, flag resolved, badly named refs with the REF_ISBROKEN flag, treat them as resolving to null_sha1, and skip them in all iteration functions except for for_each_rawref. Flag badly named refs (but not symrefs pointing to badly named refs) with a REF_BAD_NAME flag to make it easier for future callers to notice and handle them specially. For example, in a later patch for-each-ref will use this flag to detect refs whose names can confuse callers parsing for-each-ref output. In the transaction API, refuse to create or update badly named refs, but allow deleting them (unless they try to escape refs/ and don't match [A-Z_]*).

If a repository gets in a broken state with too much symref nesting, it cannot be repaired with "git branch -d": $ git symbolic-ref refs/heads/nonsense refs/heads/nonsense $ git branch -d nonsense error: branch 'nonsense' not found. Worse, "git update-ref --no-deref -d" doesn't work for such repairs either: $ git update-ref -d refs/heads/nonsense error: unable to resolve reference refs/heads/nonsense: Too many levels of symbolic links Fix both by teaching resolve_ref_unsafe a new RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE flag and passing it when appropriate. Callers can still read the value of a symref (for example to print a message about it) with that flag set --- resolve_ref_unsafe will resolve one level of symrefs and stop there.

2014-10-15refs.c: change resolve_ref_unsafe reading argument to be a flags fieldLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-11/+12
resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref resolves successfully for writing but not for reading). Change this to be a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when we want this behaviour. While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output arguments at the end. As a nice side effect, this ensures that we can catch callers that were unaware of the new API so they can be audited. Give the wrapper functions resolve_refdup and read_ref_full the same treatment for consistency.

2014-10-01commit_lock_file_to(): refactor a helper out of commit_lock_file()Libravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+1
commit_locked_index(), when writing to an alternate index file, duplicates (poorly) the code in commit_lock_file(). And anyway, it shouldn't have to know so much about the internal workings of lockfile objects. So extract a new function commit_lock_file_to() that does the work common to the two functions, and call it from both commit_lock_file() and commit_locked_index().

2014-10-01lockfile: change lock_file::filename into a strbufLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+1
For now, we still make sure to allocate at least PATH_MAX characters for the strbuf because resolve_symlink() doesn't know how to expand the space for its return value. (That will be fixed in a moment.) Another alternative would be to just use a strbuf as scratch space in lock_file() but then store a pointer to the naked string in struct lock_file. But lock_file objects are often reused. By reusing the same strbuf, we can avoid having to reallocate the string most times when a lock_file object is reused.

2014-10-01struct lock_file: declare some fields volatileLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-3/+3
The function remove_lock_file_on_signal() is used as a signal handler. It is not realistic to make the signal handler conform strictly to the C standard, which is very restrictive about what a signal handler is allowed to do. But let's increase the likelihood that it will work: The lock_file_list global variable and several fields from struct lock_file are used by the signal handler. Declare those values "volatile" to (1) force the main process to write the values to RAM promptly, and (2) prevent updates to these fields from being reordered in a way that leaves an opportunity for a jump to the signal handler while the object is in an inconsistent state. We don't mark the filename field volatile because that would prevent the use of strcpy(), and it is anyway unlikely that a compiler re-orders a strcpy() call across other expressions. So in practice it should be possible to get away without "volatile" in the "filename" case.

2014-10-01lockfile: avoid transitory invalid statesLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+1
Because remove_lock_file() can be called any time by the signal handler, it is important that any lock_file objects that are in the lock_file_list are always in a valid state. And since lock_file objects are often reused (but are never removed from lock_file_list), that means we have to be careful whenever mutating a lock_file object to always keep it in a well-defined state. This was formerly not the case, because part of the state was encoded by setting lk->filename to the empty string vs. a valid filename. It is wrong to assume that this string can be updated atomically; for example, even strcpy(lk->filename, value) is unsafe. But the old code was even more reckless; for example, strcpy(lk->filename, path); if (!(flags & LOCK_NODEREF)) resolve_symlink(lk->filename, max_path_len); strcat(lk->filename, ".lock"); During the call to resolve_symlink(), lk->filename contained the name of the file that was being locked, not the name of the lockfile. If a signal were raised during that interval, then the signal handler would have deleted the valuable file! We could probably continue to use the filename field to encode the state by being careful to write characters 1..N-1 of the filename first, and then overwrite the NUL at filename[0] with the first character of the filename, but that would be awkward and error-prone. So, instead of using the filename field to determine whether the lock_file object is active, add a new field "lock_file::active" for this purpose. Be careful to set this field only when filename really contains the name of a file that should be deleted on cleanup.
