2013-06-02Merge branch 'jk/fetch-always-update-tracking'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+13
"git fetch origin master" unlike "git fetch origin" or "git fetch" did not update "refs/remotes/origin/master"; this was an early design decision to keep the update of remote tracking branches predictable, but in practice it turns out that people find it more convenient to opportunisticly update them whenever we have a chance, and we have been updating them when we run "git push" which already breaks the original "predictability" anyway. Now such a fetch does update refs/remotes/origin/master. * jk/fetch-always-update-tracking: fetch: don't try to update unfetched tracking refs fetch: opportunistically update tracking refs refactor "ref->merge" flag fetch/pull doc: untangle meaning of bare <ref> t5510: start tracking-ref tests from a known state

We used the approxidate() parser for "--expire=<timestamp>" options of various commands, but it is better to treat --expire=all and --expire=now a bit more specially than using the current timestamp.

2013-05-12refactor "ref->merge" flagLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+13
Each "struct ref" has a boolean flag that is set by the fetch code to determine whether the ref should be marked as "not-for-merge" or not when we write it out to FETCH_HEAD. It would be useful to turn this boolean into a tri-state, with the third state meaning "do not bother writing it out to FETCH_HEAD at all". That would let us add extra refs to the set of refs to be stored (e.g., to store copies of things we fetched) without impacting FETCH_HEAD. This patch turns it into an enum that covers the tri-state case, and hopefully makes the code more explicit and easier to read.

In Git 2.0, "git add -u" and "git add -A" without any pathspec will update the index for all paths, including those outside the current directory, making it more consistent with "commit -a". To help the migration pain, a warning is issued when the differences between the current behaviour and the upcoming behaviour matters, i.e. when the user has local changes outside the current directory. * 'jn/add-2.0-u-A-sans-pathspec' (early part): add -A: only show pathless 'add -A' warning when changes exist outside cwd add -u: only show pathless 'add -u' warning when changes exist outside cwd add: make warn_pathless_add() a no-op after first call add: add a blank line at the end of pathless 'add [-u|-A]' warning add: make pathless 'add [-u|-A]' warning a file-global function
2013-04-17date.c: add parse_expiry_date()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
"git reflog --expire=all" tries to expire reflog entries up to the current second, because the approxidate() parser gives the current timestamp for anything it does not understand (and it does not know what time "all" means). When the user tells us to expire "all" (or set the expiration time to "now"), the user wants to remove all the reflog entries (no reflog entry should record future time). Just set it to ULONG_MAX and to let everything that is older that timestamp expire. While at it, allow "now" to be treated the same way for callers that parse expiry date timestamp with this function. Also use an error reporting version of approxidate() to report misspelled date. When the user says e.g. "--expire=mnoday" to delete entries two days or older on Wednesday, we wouldn't want the "unknown, default to now" logic to kick in.

2013-04-03add -u: only show pathless 'add -u' warning when changes exist outside cwdLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+1
A common workflow in large projects is to chdir into a subdirectory of interest and only do work there: cd src vi foo.c make test git add -u git commit The upcoming change to 'git add -u' behavior would not affect such a workflow: when the only changes present are in the current directory, 'git add -u' will add all changes, and whether that happens via an implicit "." or implicit ":/" parameter is an unimportant implementation detail. The warning about use of 'git add -u' with no pathspec is annoying because it seemingly serves no purpose in this case. So suppress the warning unless there are changes outside the cwd that are not being added. A previous version of this patch ran two I/O-intensive diff-files passes: one to find changes outside the cwd, and another to find changes to add to the index within the cwd. This version runs one full-tree diff and decides for each change whether to add it or warn and suppress it in update_callback. As a result, even on very large repositories "git add -u" will not be significantly slower than the future default behavior ("git add -u :/"), and the slowdown relative to "git add -u ." should be a useful clue to users of such repositories to get into the habit of explicitly passing '.'.

2013-03-27checkout: avoid unnecessary match_pathspec callsLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+3
In checkout_paths() we do this - for all updated items, call match_pathspec - for all items, call match_pathspec (inside unmerge_cache) - for all items, call match_pathspec (for showing "path .. is unmerged) - for updated items, call match_pathspec and update paths That's a lot of duplicate match_pathspec(s) and the function is not exactly cheap to be called so many times, especially on large indexes. This patch makes it call match_pathspec once per updated index entry, save the result in ce_flags and reuse the results in the following loops. The changes in 0a1283b (checkout $tree $path: do not clobber local changes in $path not in $tree - 2011-09-30) limit the affected paths to ones we read from $tree. We do not do anything to other modified entries in this case, so the "for all items" above could be modified to "for all updated items". But.. The command's behavior now is modified slightly: unmerged entries that match $path, but not updated by $tree, are now NOT touched. Although this should be considered a bug fix, not a regression. A new test is added for this change. And while at there, free ps_matched after use. The following command is tested on webkit, 215k entries. The pattern is chosen mainly to make match_pathspec sweat: git checkout -- "*[a-zA-Z]*[a-zA-Z]*[a-zA-Z]*" before after real 0m3.493s 0m2.737s user 0m2.239s 0m1.586s sys 0m1.252s 0m1.151s Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-03-16archive-zip: use deflateInit2() to ask for raw compressed dataLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+1
We use the function git_deflate_init() -- which wraps the zlib function deflateInit() -- to initialize compression of ZIP file entries. This results in compressed data prefixed with a two-bytes long header and followed by a four-bytes trailer. ZIP file entries consist of ZIP headers and raw compressed data instead, so we remove the zlib wrapper before writing the result. We can ask zlib for the the raw compressed data without the unwanted parts in the first place by using deflateInit2() and specifying a negative number of bits to size the window. For that purpose, factor out the function do_git_deflate_init() and add git_deflate_init_raw(), which wraps it. Then use the latter in archive-zip.c and get rid of the code that stripped the zlib header and trailer. Also rename the helper function zlib_deflate() to zlib_deflate_raw() to reflect the change. Thus we avoid generating data that we throw away anyway, the code becomes shorter and some magic constants are removed.

2013-03-08setup: suppress implicit "." work-tree for bare reposLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+12
If an explicit GIT_DIR is given without a working tree, we implicitly assume that the current working directory should be used as the working tree. E.g.,: GIT_DIR=/some/repo.git git status would compare against the cwd. Unfortunately, we fool this rule for sub-invocations of git by setting GIT_DIR internally ourselves. For example: git init foo cd foo/.git git status ;# fails, as we expect git config alias.st status git status ;# does not fail, but should What happens is that we run setup_git_directory when doing alias lookup (since we need to see the config), set GIT_DIR as a result, and then leave GIT_WORK_TREE blank (because we do not have one). Then when we actually run the status command, we do setup_git_directory again, which sees our explicit GIT_DIR and uses the cwd as an implicit worktree. It's tempting to argue that we should be suppressing that second invocation of setup_git_directory, as it could use the values we already found in memory. However, the problem still exists for sub-processes (e.g., if "git status" were an external command). You can see another example with the "--bare" option, which sets GIT_DIR explicitly. For example: git init foo cd foo/.git git status ;# fails git --bare status ;# does NOT fail We need some way of telling sub-processes "even though GIT_DIR is set, do not use cwd as an implicit working tree". We could do it by putting a special token into GIT_WORK_TREE, but the obvious choice (an empty string) has some portability problems. Instead, we add a new boolean variable, GIT_IMPLICIT_WORK_TREE, which suppresses the use of cwd as a working tree when GIT_DIR is set. We trigger the new variable when we know we are in a bare setting. The variable is left intentionally undocumented, as this is an internal detail (for now, anyway). If somebody comes up with a good alternate use for it, and once we are confident we have shaken any bugs out of it, we can consider promoting it further.

2013-03-08environment: add GIT_PREFIX to local_repo_envLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
The GIT_PREFIX variable is set based on our location within the working tree. It should therefore be cleared whenever GIT_WORK_TREE is cleared. In practice, this doesn't cause any bugs, because none of the sub-programs we invoke with local_repo_env cleared actually care about GIT_PREFIX. But this is the right thing to do, and future proofs us against that assumption changing. While we're at it, let's define a GIT_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT macro; this avoids repetition of the string literal, which can help catch any spelling mistakes in the code.

2013-03-08cache.h: drop LOCAL_REPO_ENV_SIZELibravatar Jeff King1-6/+6
We keep a static array of variables that should be cleared when invoking a sub-process on another repo. We statically size the array with the LOCAL_REPO_ENV_SIZE macro so that any readers do not have to count it themselves. As it turns out, no readers actually use the macro, and it creates a maintenance headache, as modifications to the array need to happen in two places (one to add the new element, and another to bump the size). Since it's NULL-terminated, we can just drop the size macro entirely. While we're at it, we'll clean up some comments around it, and add a new mention of it at the top of the list of environment variable macros. Even though local_repo_env is right below that list, it's easy to miss, and additions to that list should consider local_repo_env.

2013-02-27name-hash.c: fix endless loop with core.ignorecase=trueLibravatar Karsten Blees1-14/+3
With core.ignorecase=true, name-hash.c builds a case insensitive index of all tracked directories. Currently, the existing cache entry structures are added multiple times to the same hashtable (with different name lengths and hash codes). However, there's only one dir_next pointer, which gets completely messed up in case of hash collisions. In the worst case, this causes an endless loop if ce == ce->dir_next (see t7062). Use a separate hashtable and separate structures for the directory index so that each directory entry has its own next pointer. Use reference counting to track which directory entry contains files. There are only slight changes to the name-hash.c API: - new free_name_hash() used by read_cache.c::discard_index() - remove_name_hash() takes an additional index_state parameter - index_name_exists() for a directory (trailing '/') may return a cache entry that has been removed (CE_UNHASHED). This is not a problem as the return value is only used to check if the directory exists (dir.c) or to normalize casing of directory names (read-cache.c). Getting rid of cache_entry.dir_next reduces memory consumption, especially with core.ignorecase=false (which doesn't use that member at all). With core.ignorecase=true, building the directory index is slightly faster as we add / check the parent directory first (instead of going through all directory levels for each file in the index). E.g. with WebKit (~200k files, ~7k dirs), time spent in lazy_init_name_hash is reduced from 176ms to 130ms.

2013-01-24push: introduce REJECT_FETCH_FIRST and REJECT_NEEDS_FORCELibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
When we push to update an existing ref, if: * the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or * the object we are pushing is not a commit, it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again, as the old and new objects will not "merge". We should explain that the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is involved in such a case. If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be merged. In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work as a suggestion most of the time. And if the object at the tip is not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent damage. As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved. In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from there and integrate before pushing again. Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages appropriately. [jc: with help by Peff on message details] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

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.

Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add. Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g. $ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

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.

2013-01-05Merge branch 'jk/pathspec-literal'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
Allow scripts to feed literal paths to commands that take pathspecs, by disabling wildcard globbing. * jk/pathspec-literal: add global --literal-pathspecs option Conflicts: dir.c
2013-01-05Merge branch 'jk/error-const-return'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
Help compilers' flow analysis by making it more explicit that error() always returns -1, to reduce false "variable used uninitialized" warnings. Looks somewhat ugly but not too much. * jk/error-const-return: silence some -Wuninitialized false positives make error()'s constant return value more visible
2013-01-05Merge branch 'jk/mailmap-from-blob'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
Allow us to read, and default to read, mailmap files from the tip of the history in bare repositories. This will help running tools like shortlog in server settings. * jk/mailmap-from-blob: mailmap: default mailmap.blob in bare repositories mailmap: fix some documentation loose-ends for mailmap.blob mailmap: clean up read_mailmap error handling mailmap: support reading mailmap from blobs mailmap: refactor mailmap parsing for non-file sources
2013-01-05Merge branch 'cr/push-force-tag-update'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+6
Require "-f" for push to update a tag, even if it is a fast-forward. * cr/push-force-tag-update: push: allow already-exists advice to be disabled push: rename config variable for more general use push: cleanup push rules comment push: clarify rejection of update to non-commit-ish push: require force for annotated tags push: require force for refs under refs/tags/ push: flag updates that require force push: keep track of "update" state separately push: add advice for rejected tag reference push: return reject reasons as a bitset
2013-01-05Merge branch 'nd/pathspec-wildcard'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+4
Optimize matching paths with common forms of pathspecs that contain wildcard characters. * nd/pathspec-wildcard: tree_entry_interesting: do basedir compare on wildcard patterns when possible pathspec: apply "*.c" optimization from exclude pathspec: do exact comparison on the leading non-wildcard part pathspec: save the non-wildcard length part
2013-01-02Merge branch 'mh/ceiling'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
An element on GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list that does not name the real path to a directory (i.e. a symbolic link) could have caused the GIT_DIR discovery logic to escape the ceiling. * mh/ceiling: string_list_longest_prefix(): remove function setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks in ceiling paths longest_ancestor_length(): require prefix list entries to be normalized longest_ancestor_length(): take a string_list argument for prefixes longest_ancestor_length(): use string_list_split() Introduce new function real_path_if_valid() real_path_internal(): add comment explaining use of cwd Introduce new static function real_path_internal()
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.
