2007-04-17Use const qualifier for 'sha1' parameter in delete_ref functionLibravatar Carlos Rica1-1/+1

2007-03-18Limit the size of the new delta_base_cacheLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+1
The new configuration variable core.deltaBaseCacheLimit allows the user to control how much memory they are willing to give to Git for caching base objects of deltas. This is not normally meant to be a user tweakable knob; the "out of the box" settings are meant to be suitable for almost all workloads. We default to 16 MiB under the assumption that the cache is not meant to consume all of the user's available memory, and that the cache's main purpose was to cache trees, for faster path limiters during revision traversal. Since trees tend to be relatively small objects, this relatively small limit should still allow a large number of objects. On the other hand we don't want the cache to start storing 200 different versions of a 200 MiB blob, as this could easily blow the entire address space of a 32 bit process. We evict OBJ_BLOB from the cache first (credit goes to Junio) as we want to favor OBJ_TREE within the cache. These are the objects that have the highest inflate() startup penalty, as they tend to be small and thus don't have that much of a chance to ammortize that penalty over the entire data.

2007-03-16[PATCH] clean up pack index handling a bitLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-4/+5
Especially with the new index format to come, it is more appropriate to encapsulate more into check_packed_git_idx() and assume less of the index format in struct packed_git. To that effect, the index_base is renamed to index_data with void * type so it is not used directly but other pointers initialized with it. This allows for a couple pointer cast removal, as well as providing a better generic name to grep for when adding support for new index versions or formats. And index_data is declared const too while at it. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-03-11prepare_packed_git(): sort packs by age and localness.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
When accessing objects, we first look for them in packs that are linked together in the reverse order of discovery. Since younger packs tend to contain more recent objects, which are more likely to be accessed often, and local packs tend to contain objects more relevant to our specific projects, sort the list of packs before starting to access them. In addition, favoring local packs over the ones borrowed from alternates can be a win when alternates are mounted on network file systems. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-03-10git-branch, git-checkout: autosetup for remote branch trackingLibravatar Paolo Bonzini1-0/+1
In order to track and build on top of a branch 'topic' you track from your upstream repository, you often would end up doing this sequence: git checkout -b mytopic origin/topic git config --add branch.mytopic.remote origin git config --add branch.mytopic.merge refs/heads/topic This would first fork your own 'mytopic' branch from the 'topic' branch you track from the 'origin' repository; then it would set up two configuration variables so that 'git pull' without parameters does the right thing while you are on your own 'mytopic' branch. This commit adds a --track option to git-branch, so that "git branch --track mytopic origin/topic" performs the latter two actions when creating your 'mytopic' branch. If the configuration variable branch.autosetupmerge is set to true, you do not have to pass the --track option explicitly; further patches in this series allow setting the variable with a "git remote add" option. The configuration variable is off by default, and there is a --no-track option to countermand it even if the variable is set.

2007-03-07Use off_t when we really mean a file offset.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-5/+5
Not all platforms have declared 'unsigned long' to be a 64 bit value, but we want to support a 64 bit packfile (or close enough anyway) in the near future as some projects are getting large enough that their packed size exceeds 4 GiB. By using off_t, the POSIX type that is declared to mean an offset within a file, we support whatever maximum file size the underlying operating system will handle. For most modern systems this is up around 2^60 or higher. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-03-07Use uint32_t for all packed object counts.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-2/+2
As we permit up to 2^32-1 objects in a single packfile we cannot use a signed int to represent the object offset within a packfile, after 2^31-1 objects we will start seeing negative indexes and error out or compute bad addresses within the mmap'd index.

2007-03-07General const correctness fixesLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+1
We shouldn't attempt to assign constant strings into char*, as the string is not writable at runtime. Likewise we should always be treating unsigned values as unsigned values, not as signed values. Most of these are very straightforward. The only exception is the (unnecessary) xstrdup/free in builtin-branch.c for the detached head case. Since this is a user-level interactive type program and that particular code path is executed no more than once, I feel that the extra xstrdup call is well worth the easy elimination of this warning.

2007-03-02Add core.symlinks to mark filesystems that do not support symbolic links.Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-1/+5
Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic link, it is impossible to check out the working copy. This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in the database (as long as an entry exists in the index). Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

To achieve this, the "int relative" was changed to "enum date_mode mode", which has three states: DATE_NORMAL, DATE_RELATIVE and DATE_SHORT. Since existing users of show_date() only call it with relative_date being either 0 or 1, and DATE_NORMAL and DATE_RELATIVE having these values, no behaviour is changed.

We currently have two parallel notation for dealing with object types in the code: a string and a numerical value. One of them is obviously redundent, and the most used one requires more stack space and a bunch of strcmp() all over the place.

When we do not trust executable bit from lstat(2), we copied existing ce_mode bits without checking if the filesystem object is a regular file (which is the only thing we apply the "trust executable bit" business) nor if the blob in the index is a regular file (otherwise, we should do the same as registering a new regular file, which is to default non-executable).

2007-02-14Lazy man's auto-CRLFLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+5
It currently does NOT know about file attributes, so it does its conversion purely based on content. Maybe that is more in the "git philosophy" anyway, since content is king, but I think we should try to do the file attributes to turn it off on demand. Anyway, BY DEFAULT it is off regardless, because it requires a [core] AutoCRLF = true in your config file to be enabled. We could make that the default for Windows, of course, the same way we do some other things (filemode etc). But you can actually enable it on UNIX, and it will cause: - "git update-index" will write blobs without CRLF - "git diff" will diff working tree files without CRLF - "git checkout" will write files to the working tree _with_ CRLF and things work fine. Funnily, it actually shows an odd file in git itself: git clone -n git test-crlf cd test-crlf git config core.autocrlf true git checkout git diff shows a diff for "Documentation/docbook-xsl.css". Why? Because we have actually checked in that file *with* CRLF! So when "core.autocrlf" is true, we'll always generate a *different* hash for it in the index, because the index hash will be for the content _without_ CRLF. Is this complete? I dunno. It seems to work for me. It doesn't use the filename at all right now, and that's probably a deficiency (we could certainly make the "is_binary()" heuristics also take standard filename heuristics into account). I don't pass in the filename at all for the "index_fd()" case (git-update-index), so that would need to be passed around, but this actually works fine. NOTE NOTE NOTE! The "is_binary()" heuristics are totally made-up by yours truly. I will not guarantee that they work at all reasonable. Caveat emptor. But it _is_ simple, and it _is_ safe, since it's all off by default. The patch is pretty simple - the biggest part is the new "convert.c" file, but even that is really just basic stuff that anybody can write in "Teaching C 101" as a final project for their first class in programming. Not to say that it's bug-free, of course - but at least we're not talking about rocket surgery here.

2007-01-25Allow non-developer to clone, checkout and fetch more easily.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
The code that uses committer_info() in reflog can barf and die whenever it is asked to update a ref. And I do not think calling ignore_missing_committer_name() upfront like recent receive-pack did in the aplication is a reasonable workaround. What the patch does. - git_committer_info() takes one parameter. It used to be "if this is true, then die() if the name is not available due to bad GECOS, otherwise issue a warning once but leave the name empty". The reason was because we wanted to prevent bad commits from being made by git-commit-tree (and its callers). The value 0 is only used by "git var -l". Now it takes -1, 0 or 1. When set to -1, it does not complain but uses the pw->pw_name when name is not available. Existing 0 and 1 values mean the same thing as they used to mean before. 0 means issue warnings and leave it empty, 1 means barf and die. - ignore_missing_committer_name() and its existing caller (receive-pack, to set the reflog) have been removed. - git-format-patch, to come up with the phoney message ID when asked to thread, now passes -1 to git_committer_info(). This codepath uses only the e-mail part, ignoring the name. It used to barf and die. The other call in the same program when asked to add signed-off-by line based on committer identity still passes 1 to make sure it barfs instead of adding a bogus s-o-b line. - log_ref_write in refs.c, to come up with the name to record who initiated the ref update in the reflog, passes -1. It used to barf and die. The last change means that git-update-ref, git-branch, and commit walker backends can now be used in a repository with reflog by somebody who does not have the user identity required to make a commit. They all used to barf and die. I've run tests and all of them seem to pass, and also tried "git clone" as a user whose GECOS is empty -- git clone works again now (it was broken when reflog was enabled by default). But this definitely needs extra sets of eyeballs. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-01-08Detached HEAD (experimental)Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
This allows "git checkout v1.4.3" to dissociate the HEAD of repository from any branch. After this point, "git branch" starts reporting that you are not on any branch. You can go back to an existing branch by saying "git checkout master", for example. This is still experimental. While I think it makes sense to allow commits on top of detached HEAD, it is rather dangerous unless you are careful in the current form. Next "git checkout master" will obviously lose what you have done, so we might want to require "git checkout -f" out of a detached HEAD if we find that the HEAD commit is not an ancestor of any other branches. There is no such safety valve implemented right now. On the other hand, the reason the user did not start the ad-hoc work on a new branch with "git checkout -b" was probably because the work was of a throw-away nature, so the convenience of not having that safety valve might be even better. The user, after accumulating some commits on top of a detached HEAD, can always create a new branch with "git checkout -b" not to lose useful work done while the HEAD was detached. We'll see.

2007-01-03Fix infinite loop when deleting multiple packed refs.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
It was stupid to link the same element twice to lock_file_list and end up in a loop, so we certainly need a fix. But it is not like we are taking a lock on multiple files in this case. It is just that we leave the linked element on the list even after commit_lock_file() successfully removes the cruft. We cannot remove the list element in commit_lock_file(); if we are interrupted in the middle of list manipulation, the call to remove_lock_file_on_signal() will happen with a broken list structure pointed by lock_file_list, which would cause the cruft to remain, so not removing the list element is the right thing to do. Instead we should be reusing the element already on the list. There is already a code for that in lock_file() function in lockfile.c. The code checks lk->next and the element is linked only when it is not already on the list -- which is incorrect for the last element on the list (which has NULL in its next field), but if you read the check as "is this element already on the list?" it actually makes sense. We do not want to link it on the list again, nor we would want to set up signal/atexit over and over. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-12-29Fully activate the sliding window pack access.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+1
This finally turns on the sliding window behavior for packfile data access by mapping limited size windows and chaining them under the packed_git->windows list. We consider a given byte offset to be within the window only if there would be at least 20 bytes (one hash worth of data) accessible after the requested offset. This range selection relates to the contract that use_pack() makes with its callers, allowing them to access one hash or one object header without needing to call use_pack() for every byte of data obtained. In the worst case scenario we will map the same page of data twice into memory: once at the end of one window and once again at the start of the next window. This duplicate page mapping will happen only when an object header or a delta base reference is spanned over the end of a window and is always limited to just one page of duplication, as no sane operating system will ever have a page size smaller than a hash. I am assuming that the possible wasted page of virtual address space is going to perform faster than the alternatives, which would be to copy the object header or ref delta into a temporary buffer prior to parsing, or to check the window range on every byte during header parsing. We may decide to revisit this decision in the future since this is just a gut instinct decision and has not actually been proven out by experimental testing. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-12-29Replace use_packed_git with window cursors.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-2/+2
Part of the implementation concept of the sliding mmap window for pack access is to permit multiple windows per pack to be mapped independently. Since the inuse_cnt is associated with the mmap and not with the file, this value is in struct pack_window and needs to be incremented/decremented for each pack_window accessed by any code. To faciliate that implementation we need to replace all uses of use_packed_git() and unuse_packed_git() with a different API that follows struct pack_window objects rather than struct packed_git. The way this works is when we need to start accessing a pack for the first time we should setup a new window 'cursor' by declaring a local and setting it to NULL: struct pack_windows *w_curs = NULL; To obtain the memory region which contains a specific section of the pack file we invoke use_pack(), supplying the address of our current window cursor: unsigned int len; unsigned char *addr = use_pack(p, &w_curs, offset, &len); the returned address `addr` will be the first byte at `offset` within the pack file. The optional variable len will also be updated with the number of bytes remaining following the address. Multiple calls to use_pack() with the same window cursor will update the window cursor, moving it from one window to another when necessary. In this way each window cursor variable maintains only one struct pack_window inuse at a time. Finally before exiting the scope which originally declared the window cursor we must invoke unuse_pack() to unuse the current window (which may be different from the one that was first obtained from use_pack): unuse_pack(&w_curs); This implementation is still not complete with regards to multiple windows, as only one window per pack file is supported right now.

2006-12-29Refactor how we open pack files to prepare for multiple windows.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+1
To efficiently support mmaping of multiple regions of the same pack file we want to keep the pack's file descriptor open while we are actively working with that pack. So we are now keeping that file descriptor in packed_git.pack_fd and closing it only after we unmap the last window. This is going to increase the number of file descriptors that are in use at once, however that will be bounded by the total number of pack files present and therefore should not be very high. It is a small tradeoff which we may need to revisit after some testing can be done on various repositories and systems. For code clarity we also want to seperate out the implementation of how we open a pack file from the implementation which locates a suitable window (or makes a new one) from the given pack file. Since this is a rather large delta I'm taking advantage of doing it now, in a fairly isolated change. When we open a pack file we need to examine the header and trailer without having a mmap in place, as we may only need to mmap the middle section of this particular pack. Consequently the verification code has been refactored to make use of the new read_or_die function. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
