2013-01-30Merge branch 'rr/minimal-stat'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
Some reimplementations of Git does not write all the stat info back to the index due to their implementation limitations (e.g. jgit running on Java). A configuration option can tell Git to ignore changes to most of the stat fields and only pay attention to mtime and size, which these implementations can reliably update. This avoids excessive revalidation of contents. * rr/minimal-stat: Enable minimal stat checking

Regression fix to stop "git push" complaining "target ref already exists", when it is not the real reason the command rejected the request (e.g. non-fast-forward). * cr/push-force-tag-update: push: fix "refs/tags/ hierarchy cannot be updated without --force"
2013-01-22Enable minimal stat checkingLibravatar Robin Rosenberg1-0/+1
Specifically the fields uid, gid, ctime, ino and dev are set to zero by JGit. Other implementations, eg. Git in cygwin are allegedly also somewhat incompatible with Git For Windows and on *nix platforms the resolution of the timestamps may differ. Any stat checking by git will then need to check content, which may be very slow, particularly on Windows. Since mtime and size is typically enough we should allow the user to tell git to avoid checking these fields if they are set to zero in the index. This change introduces a core.checkstat config option where the the user can select to check all fields (default), or just size and the whole second part of mtime (minimal).

2013-01-16push: fix "refs/tags/ hierarchy cannot be updated without --force"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
When pushing to update a branch with a commit that is not a descendant of the commit at the tip, a wrong message "already exists" was given, instead of the correct "non-fast-forward", if we do not have the object sitting in the destination repository at the tip of the ref we are updating. The primary cause of the bug is that the check in a new helper function is_forwardable() assumed both old and new objects are available and can be checked, which is not always the case. The way the caller uses the result of this function is also wrong. If the helper says "we do not want to let this push go through", the caller unconditionally translates it into "we blocked it because the destination already exists", which is not true at all in this case. Fix this by doing these three things: * Remove unnecessary not_forwardable from "struct ref"; it is only used inside set_ref_status_for_push(); * Make "refs/tags/" the only hierarchy that cannot be replaced without --force; * Remove the misguided attempt to force that everything that updates an existing ref has to be a commit outside "refs/tags/" hierarchy. The policy last one tried to implement may later be resurrected and extended to ensure fast-forwardness (defined as "not losing objects", extending from the traditional "not losing commits from the resulting history") when objects that are not commit are involved (e.g. an annotated tag in hierarchies outside refs/tags), but such a logic belongs to "is this a fast-forward?" check that is done by ref_newer(); is_forwardable(), which is now removed, was not the right place to do so.

2013-01-16fix clang -Wunused-value warnings for error functionsLibravatar Max Horn1-1/+1
Commit a469a10 wraps some error calls in macros to give the compiler a chance to do more static analysis on their constant -1 return value. We limit the use of these macros to __GNUC__, since gcc is the primary beneficiary of the new information, and because we use GNU features for handling variadic macros. However, clang also defines __GNUC__, but generates warnings with -Wunused-value when these macros are used in a void context, because the constant "-1" ends up being useless. Gcc does not complain about this case (though it is unclear if it is because it is smart enough to see what we are doing, or too dumb to realize that the -1 is unused). We can squelch the warning by just disabling these macros when clang is in use.

2012-12-19add global --literal-pathspecs optionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
Git takes pathspec arguments in many places to limit the scope of an operation. These pathspecs are treated not as literal paths, but as glob patterns that can be fed to fnmatch. When a user is giving a specific pattern, this is a nice feature. However, when programatically providing pathspecs, it can be a nuisance. For example, to find the latest revision which modified "$foo", one can use "git rev-list -- $foo". But if "$foo" contains glob characters (e.g., "f*"), it will erroneously match more entries than desired. The caller needs to quote the characters in $foo, and even then, the results may not be exactly the same as with a literal pathspec. For instance, the depth checks in match_pathspec_depth do not kick in if we match via fnmatch. This patch introduces a global command-line option (i.e., one for "git" itself, not for specific commands) to turn this behavior off. It also has a matching environment variable, which can make it easier if you are a script or porcelain interface that is going to issue many such commands. This option cannot turn off globbing for particular pathspecs. That could eventually be done with a ":(noglob)" magic pathspec prefix. However, that level of granularity is more cumbersome to use for many cases, and doing ":(noglob)" right would mean converting the whole codebase to use "struct pathspec", as the usual "const char **pathspec" cannot represent extra per-item flags.

2012-12-15silence some -Wuninitialized false positivesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
There are a few error functions that simply wrap error() and provide a standardized message text. Like error(), they always return -1; knowing that can help the compiler silence some false positive -Wuninitialized warnings. One strategy would be to just declare these as inline in the header file so that the compiler can see that they always return -1. However, gcc does not always inline them (e.g., it will not inline opterror, even with -O3), which renders our change pointless. Instead, let's follow the same route we did with error() in the last patch, and define a macro that makes the constant return value obvious to the compiler.

References are allowed to update from one commit-ish to another if the former is an ancestor of the latter. This behavior is oriented to branches which are expected to move with commits.

2012-11-26pathspec: apply "*.c" optimization from excludeLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+3
When a pattern contains only a single asterisk as wildcard, e.g. "foo*bar", after literally comparing the leading part "foo" with the string, we can compare the tail of the string and make sure it matches "bar", instead of running fnmatch() on "*bar" against the remainder of the string. -O2 build on linux-2.6, without the patch: $ time git rev-list --quiet HEAD -- '*.c' real 0m40.770s user 0m40.290s sys 0m0.256s With the patch $ time ~/w/git/git rev-list --quiet HEAD -- '*.c' real 0m34.288s user 0m33.997s sys 0m0.205s The above command is not supposed to be widely popular. It's chosen because it exercises pathspec matching a lot. The point is it cuts down matching time for popular patterns like *.c, which could be used as pathspec in other places.

2012-11-15ident: keep separate "explicit" flags for author and committerLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
We keep track of whether the user ident was given to us explicitly, or if we guessed at it from system parameters like username and hostname. However, we kept only a single variable. This covers the common cases (because the author and committer will usually come from the same explicit source), but can miss two cases: 1. GIT_COMMITTER_* is set explicitly, but we fallback for GIT_AUTHOR. We claim the ident is explicit, even though the author is not. 2. GIT_AUTHOR_* is set and we ask for author ident, but not committer ident. We will claim the ident is implicit, even though it is explicit. This patch uses two variables instead of one, updates both when we set the "fallback" values, and updates them individually when we read from the environment. Rather than keep user_ident_sufficiently_given as a compatibility wrapper, we update the only two callers to check the committer_ident, which matches their intent and what was happening already.

2012-08-13parse_feature_request: make it easier to see feature valuesLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
We already take care to parse key/value capabilities like "foo=bar", but the code does not provide a good way of actually finding out what is on the right-hand side of the "=". A server using "parse_feature_request" could accomplish this with some extra parsing. You must skip past the "key" portion manually, check for "=" versus NUL or space, and then find the length by searching for the next space (or NUL). But clients can't even do that, since the "server_supports" interface does not even return the pointer. Instead, let's have our parser share more information by providing a pointer to the value and its length. The "parse_feature_value" function returns a pointer to the feature's value portion, along with the length of the value. If the feature is missing, NULL is returned. If it does not have an "=", then a zero-length value is returned. Similarly, "server_feature_value" behaves in the same way, but always checks the static server_feature_list variable. We can then implement "server_supports" in terms of "server_feature_value". We cannot implement the original "parse_feature_request" in terms of our new function, because it returned a pointer to the beginning of the feature. However, no callers actually cared about the value of the returned pointer, so we can simplify it to a boolean just as we do for "server_supports".

2012-07-08git on Mac OS and precomposed unicodeLibravatar Torsten Bögershausen1-0/+1
Mac OS X mangles file names containing unicode on file systems HFS+, VFAT or SAMBA. When a file using unicode code points outside ASCII is created on a HFS+ drive, the file name is converted into decomposed unicode and written to disk. No conversion is done if the file name is already decomposed unicode. Calling open("\xc3\x84", ...) with a precomposed "Ä" yields the same result as open("\x41\xcc\x88",...) with a decomposed "Ä". As a consequence, readdir() returns the file names in decomposed unicode, even if the user expects precomposed unicode. Unlike on HFS+, Mac OS X stores files on a VFAT drive (e.g. an USB drive) in precomposed unicode, but readdir() still returns file names in decomposed unicode. When a git repository is stored on a network share using SAMBA, file names are send over the wire and written to disk on the remote system in precomposed unicode, but Mac OS X readdir() returns decomposed unicode to be compatible with its behaviour on HFS+ and VFAT. The unicode decomposition causes many problems: - The names "git add" and other commands get from the end user may often be precomposed form (the decomposed form is not easily input from the keyboard), but when the commands read from the filesystem to see what it is going to update the index with already is on the filesystem, readdir() will give decomposed form, which is different. - Similarly "git log", "git mv" and all other commands that need to compare pathnames found on the command line (often but not always precomposed form; a command line input resulting from globbing may be in decomposed) with pathnames found in the tree objects (should be precomposed form to be compatible with other systems and for consistency in general). - The same for names stored in the index, which should be precomposed, that may need to be compared with the names read from readdir(). NFS mounted from Linux is fully transparent and does not suffer from the above. As Mac OS X treats precomposed and decomposed file names as equal, we can - wrap readdir() on Mac OS X to return the precomposed form, and - normalize decomposed form given from the command line also to the precomposed form, to ensure that all pathnames used in Git are always in the precomposed form. This behaviour can be requested by setting "core.precomposedunicode" configuration variable to true. The code in compat/precomposed_utf8.c implements basically 4 new functions: precomposed_utf8_opendir(), precomposed_utf8_readdir(), precomposed_utf8_closedir() and precompose_argv(). The first three are to wrap opendir(3), readdir(3), and closedir(3) functions. The argv[] conversion allows to use the TAB filename completion done by the shell on command line. It tolerates other tools which use readdir() to feed decomposed file names into git. When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone", "core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false". The user needs to activate this feature manually. She typically sets core.precomposedunicode to "true" on HFS and VFAT, or file systems mounted via SAMBA.

"git diff --no-index" did not correctly handle relative paths and did not give correct exit codes when run under "--quiet" option. * th/diff-no-index-fixes: diff-no-index: exit(1) if 'diff --quiet <repo file> <external file>' finds changes diff: handle relative paths in no-index
2012-07-03sha1_name.c: teach get_short_sha1() a commit-only optionLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
When the caller knows that the parameter is meant to name a commit, e.g. "56789a" in describe name "v1.2.3-4-g56789a", pass that as a hint so that lower level can use it to disambiguate objects when there is only one commit whose name begins with 56789a even if there are objects of other types whose names share the same prefix.

2012-07-03sha1_name.c: allow get_short_sha1() to take other flagsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
Instead of a separate "int quietly" argument, make it take "unsigned flags" so that we can pass other options to it. The bit assignment of this flag word is exposed in cache.h because the mechanism will be exposed to callers of the higher layer in later commits in this series.

2012-07-03sha1_name.c: get rid of get_sha1_with_mode()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
There are only two callers, and they will benefit from being able to pass disambiguation hints to underlying get_sha1_with_context() API once it happens. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
