2011-04-13remove doubled words, e.g., s/to to/to/, and fix related typosLibravatar Jim Meyering1-1/+1
I found that some doubled words had snuck back into projects from which I'd already removed them, so now there's a "syntax-check" makefile rule in gnulib to help prevent recurrence. Running the command below spotted a few in git, too: git ls-files | xargs perl -0777 -n \ -e 'while (/\b(then?|[iao]n|i[fst]|but|f?or|at|and|[dt])\s+\1\b/gims)' \ -e '{$n=($` =~ tr/\n/\n/ + 1); ($v=$&)=~s/\n/\\n/g;' \ -e 'print "$ARGV:$n:$v\n"}' Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-02-07mingw_rmdir: set errno=ENOTEMPTY when appropriateLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+28
On Windows, EACCES overrules ENOTEMPTY when calling rmdir(). But if the directory is busy, we only want to retry deleting the directory if it is empty, so test specifically for that case and set ENOTEMPTY rather than EACCES. Noticed by Greg Hazel.

2011-02-07mingw: add fallback for rmdir in case directory is in useLibravatar Heiko Voigt1-0/+25
The same logic as for unlink and rename also applies to rmdir. For example in case you have a shell open in a git controlled folder. This will easily fail. So lets be nice for such cases as well. Signed-off-by: Heiko Voigt <heiko.voigt@mahr.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-02-07mingw: make failures to unlink or move raise a questionLibravatar Heiko Voigt1-0/+78
On Windows in case a program is accessing a file unlink or move operations may fail. To give the user a chance to correct this we simply wait until the user asks us to retry or fail. This is useful because of the following use case which seem to happen rarely but when it does it is a mess: After making some changes the user realizes that he was on the incorrect branch. When trying to change the branch some file is still in use by some other process and git stops in the middle of changing branches. Now the user has lots of files with changes mixed with his own. This is especially confusing on repositories that contain lots of files. Although the recent implementation of automatic retry makes this scenario much more unlikely lets provide a fallback as a last resort. Thanks to Albert Dvornik for disabling the question if users can't see it. If the stdout of the command is connected to a terminal but the stderr has been redirected, the odds are good that the user can't see any question we print out to stderr. This will result in a "mysterious hang" while the app is waiting for user input. It seems better to be conservative, and avoid asking for input whenever the stderr is not a terminal, just like we do for stdin.

2010-11-23win32: use our own dirent.hLibravatar Erik Faye-Lund1-60/+0
The mingw-runtime implemenation of opendir, readdir and closedir sets errno to 0 on success, something that POSIX explicitly forbids. 3ba7a06 ("A loose object is not corrupt if it cannot be read due to EMFILE") introduce a dependency on this behaviour, leading to a broken "git clone" on Windows. compat/mingw.c contains an implementation of readdir, and compat/msvc.c contains implementations of opendir and closedir. Move these to compat/win32/dirent.[ch], and change to our own DIR structure at the same time. This provides a generic Win32-implementation of opendir, readdir and closedir which works on both MinGW and MSVC and does not reset errno, and as a result git clone is working again on Windows.

2010-11-04mingw: use real pidLibravatar Erik Faye-Lund1-1/+72
The Windows port have so far been using process handles in place of PID. However, this is not work consistent with what getpid returns. PIDs are system-global identifiers, but process handles are local to a process. Using PIDs instead of process handles allows, for instance, a user to kill a hung process with the Task Manager, something that would have been impossible with process handles. Change the code to use the real PID, and use OpenProcess to get a process-handle. Store the PID and the process handle in a linked list protected by a critical section, so we can safely close the process handle later. Linked list code written by Pat Thoyts.

2010-10-01MinGW: fix stat() and lstat() implementations for handling symlinksLibravatar Pat Thoyts1-4/+35

This causes the is_executable function to return when git attempts to build a list of available commands in the help code and we end up missing most git commands. (msysGit issue #445) This patch modifies the implementation so that lstat() will return the link flag but if we are called as stat() we read the size of the target and set the mode to that of a regular file.

2010-05-20Fix checkout of large files to network shares on Windows XPLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+17
Bigger writes to network drives on Windows XP fail. Cap them at 31MB to allow them to succeed. Callers need to be prepared for write() calls that do less work than requested anyway. On local drives, write() calls are translated to WriteFile() calls with a cap of 64KB on Windows XP and 256KB on Vista. Thus a cap of 31MB won't affect the number of WriteFile() calls which do the actual work. There's still room for some other version of Windows to use a chunk size of 1MB without increasing the number of system calls.

2010-01-16Windows: avoid the "dup dance" when spawning a child processLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-8/+17
When stdin, stdout, or stderr must be redirected for a child process that on Windows is spawned using one of the spawn() functions of Microsoft's C runtime, then there is no choice other than to 1. make a backup copy of fd 0,1,2 with dup 2. dup2 the redirection source fd into 0,1,2 3. spawn 4. dup2 the backup back into 0,1,2 5. close the backup copy and the redirection source We used this idiom as well -- but we are not using the spawn() functions anymore! Instead, we have our own implementation. We had hardcoded that stdin, stdout, and stderr of the child process were inherited from the parent's fds 0, 1, and 2. But we can actually specify any fd. With this patch, the fds to inherit are passed from start_command()'s WIN32 section to our spawn implementation. This way, we can avoid the backup copies of the fds. The backup copies were a bug waiting to surface: The OS handles underlying the dup()ed fds were inherited by the child process (but were not associated with a file descriptor in the child). Consequently, the file or pipe represented by the OS handle remained open even after the backup copy was closed in the parent process until the child exited. Since our implementation of pipe() creates non-inheritable OS handles, we still dup() file descriptors in start_command() because dup() happens to create inheritable duplicates. (A nice side effect is that the fd cleanup in start_command is the same for Windows and Unix and remains unchanged.)

2010-01-16Windows: simplify the pipe(2) implementationLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-29/+8
Our implementation of pipe() must create non-inheritable handles for the reason that when a child process is started, there is no opportunity to close the unneeded pipe ends in the child (on POSIX this is done between fork() and exec()). Previously, we used the _pipe() function provided by Microsoft's C runtime (which creates inheritable handles) and then turned the handles into non-inheritable handles using the DuplicateHandle() API. Simplify the procedure by using the CreatePipe() API, which can create non-inheritable handles right from the beginning.

Also ensure we load winsock2.h first, so we don't load the older winsock definitions at a later stage, since they contain duplicate definitions. When moving windows.h into git-compat-util.h, we need to protect the definition of struct pollfd in mingw.h, since this file is used by both MinGW and MSVC, and the latter defines this struct in winsock2.h.

2009-04-20Windows: Work around intermittent failures in mingw_renameLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-2/+19
We have replaced rename() with a version that can rename a file to a destination that already exists. Nevertheless, many users, the author included, observe failures in the code that are not reproducible. The theory is that the failures are due to some other process that happens to have opened the destination file briefly at the wrong moment. (And there is no way on Windows to delete or replace a file that is currently open.) The most likely candidate for such a process is a virus scanner. The failure is more often observed while there is heavy git activity (for example while the test suite is running or during a rebase operation). We work around the failure by retrying the rename operation if it failed due to ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. The retries are delayed a bit: The first only by giving up the time slice, the next after the minimal scheduling granularity, and if more retries are needed, then we wait some non-trivial amount of time with exponential back-off.
