2011-11-20config.c: Fix a static buffer overwrite bug by avoiding mkpath()Libravatar Ramsay Jones1-2/+2
On cygwin, test number 21 of t3200-branch.sh (git branch -m q q2 without config should succeed) fails. The failure involves the functions from path.c which parcel out internal static buffers from the git_path() and mkpath() functions. In particular, the rename_ref() function calls safe_create_leading\ _directories() with a filename returned by git_path("logs/%s", ref). safe_create_leading_directories(), in turn, calls stat() on each element of the path it is given. On cygwin, this leads to a call to git_config() for each component of the path, since this test explicitly removes the config file. git_config() calls mkpath(), so on the fourth component of the path, the original buffer passed into the function is overwritten with the config filename. Note that this bug is specific to cygwin and it's schizophrenic stat() functions (see commits adbc0b6, 7faee6b and 7974843). The lack of a config file and a path with at least four elements is also important to trigger the bug. In order to fix the problem, we replace the call to mkpath() with a call to mksnpath() and provide our own buffer.

2011-10-06attr: read core.attributesfile from git_default_core_configLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
This code calls git_config from a helper function to parse the config entry it is interested in. Calling git_config in this way may cause a problem if the helper function can be called after a previous call to git_config by another function since the second call to git_config may reset some variable to the value in the config file which was previously overridden. The above is not a problem in this case since the function passed to git_config only parses one config entry and the variable it sets is not assigned outside of the parsing function. But a programmer who desires all of the standard config options to be parsed may be tempted to modify git_attr_config() so that it falls back to git_default_config() and then it _would_ be vulnerable to the above described behavior. So, move the call to git_config up into the top-level cmd_* function and move the responsibility for parsing core.attributesfile into the main config file parser. Which is only the logical thing to do ;-) Signed-off-by: Brandon Casey <drafnel@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-06-22config: die on error in command-line configLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The error handling for git_config is somewhat confusing. We collect errors from running git_config_from_file on the various config files and carefully pass them back up. But the two odd things are: 1. We actually die on most errors in git_config_from_file. In fact, the only error we actually pass back up is if fopen() fails on the file. 2. Most callers of git_config do not check the error return at all, but will continue if git_config reports an error. When the code for "git -c core.foo=bar" was added, it dutifully passed errors up the call stack, only for them to be eventually ignored. This makes it inconsistent with the file-parsing code, which will die when it sees malformed config. And it's somewhat unsafe, because it means an error in parsing a typo like: git -c clean.requireforce=ture clean will continue the command, ignoring the config the user tried to give.

2011-06-16config.c: Make git_config() work correctly when called recursivelyLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-30/+50
On Cygwin, this fixes a test failure in t3301-notes.sh (test 98, "git notes copy --for-rewrite (disabled)"). The test failure is caused by a recursive call to git_config() which has the effect of skipping to the end-of-file while processing the "notes.rewriteref" config variable. Thus, any config variables that appear after "notes.rewriteref" are simply ignored by git_config(). Also, we note that the original FILE handle is leaked as a result of the recursive call. The recursive call to git_config() is due to the "schizophrenic stat" functions on cygwin, where one of two different implementations of the l/stat functions is selected lazily, depending on some config variables. In this case, the init_copy_notes_for_rewrite() function calls git_config() with the notes_rewrite_config() callback function. This callback, while processing the "notes.rewriteref" variable, in turn calls string_list_add_refs_by_glob() to process the associated ref value. This eventually leads to a call to the get_ref_dir() function, which in turn calls stat(). On cygwin, the stat() macro leads to an indirect call to cygwin_stat_stub() which, via init_stat(), then calls git_config() in order to determine which l/stat implementation to bind to. In order to solve this problem, we modify git_config() so that the global state variables used by the config reading code is packaged up and managed on a local state stack.

2011-05-24config: always parse GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS during git_configLibravatar Jeff King1-40/+11
Previously we parsed GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS lazily into a linked list, and then checked that list during future invocations of git_config. However, that ignores the fact that the environment variable could change during our run (e.g., because we parse more "-c" as part of an alias). Instead, let's just re-parse the environment variable each time. It's generally not very big, and it's no more work than parsing the config files, anyway. As a bonus, we can ditch all of the linked list storage code entirely, making the code much simpler. The test unfortunately still does not pass because of an unrelated bug in handle_options.

Yes, it is clear that "eol" wants to mean some sort of end-of-line thing, but as the name of a global variable, it is way too short to describe what kind of end-of-line thing it wants to represent.

This global variable holds what we read from core.eol configuration variable. Name it as such. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

parse_value in config.c has a static buffer of 1024 bytes that it parse the value into. This can sometimes be a problem when a config file contains very long values. It's particularly amusing that git-config already is able to write such files, so it should probably be able to read them as well. Fix this by using a strbuf instead of a fixed-size buffer.

2011-03-11Make the default abbrev length configurableLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+8
The default of 7 comes from fairly early in git development, when seven hex digits was a lot (it covers about 250+ million hash values). Back then I thought that 65k revisions was a lot (it was what we were about to hit in BK), and each revision tends to be about 5-10 new objects or so, so a million objects was a big number. These days, the kernel isn't even the largest git project, and even the kernel has about 220k revisions (_much_ bigger than the BK tree ever was) and we are approaching two million objects. At that point, seven hex digits is still unique for a lot of them, but when we're talking about just two orders of magnitude difference between number of objects and the hash size, there _will_ be collisions in truncated hash values. It's no longer even close to unrealistic - it happens all the time. We should both increase the default abbrev that was unrealistically small, _and_ add a way for people to set their own default per-project in the git config file. This is the first step to first make it configurable; the default of 7 is not raised yet. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Sanity-check config variable names when adding and retrieving them. As a side effect code duplication between git_config_set_multivar and get_value (in builtin/config.c) was removed and the common functionality was placed in git_config_parse_key. This breaks a test in t1300 which used invalid section-less keys in the tests for "git -c". However, allowing such names there was useless, since there was no way to set them via config file, and no part of git actually tried to use section-less keys. This patch updates the test to use more realistic examples as well as adding its own test.

2011-02-16push.default: Rename 'tracking' to 'upstream'Libravatar Johan Herland1-2/+4
Users are sometimes confused with two different types of "tracking" behavior in Git: "remote-tracking" branches (e.g. refs/remotes/*/*) versus the merge/rebase relationship between a local branch and its @{upstream} (controlled by branch.foo.remote and branch.foo.merge config settings). When the push.default is set to 'tracking', it specifies that a branch should be pushed to its @{upstream} branch. In other words, setting push.default to 'tracking' applies only to the latter of the above two types of "tracking" behavior. In order to make this more understandable to the user, we rename the push.default == 'tracking' option to push.default == 'upstream'. push.default == 'tracking' is left as a deprecated synonym for 'upstream'.

This function recently gained the ability to recognize the documented "0" and "1" values as false/true. However, unlike regular git_config_bool, it did not treat arbitrary non-zero numbers as true. While this is undocumented and probably ridiculous for somebody to rely on, it is safer to behave exactly as git_config_bool would.
