Allow configuration data to be read from in-tree blob objects,
which would help working in a bare repository and submodule
updates.
* hv/config-from-blob:
do not die when error in config parsing of buf occurs
teach config --blob option to parse config from database
config: make parsing stack struct independent from actual data source
config: drop cf validity check in get_next_char()
config: factor out config file stack management
|
|
If a config parsing error in a file occurs we can die and let the user
fix the issue. This is different for the buf parsing function since it
can be used to parse blobs of .gitmodules files. If a parsing error
occurs here we should proceed since otherwise a database containing such
an error in a single revision could be rendered unusable.

To simplify adding other sources we extract all functions needed for
parsing into a list of callbacks. We implement those callbacks for the
current file parsing. A new source can implement its own set of callbacks.
Instead of storing the concrete FILE pointer for parsing we store a void
pointer. A new source can use this to store its custom data.

Because a config callback may start parsing a new file, the
global context regarding the current config file is stored
as a stack. Currently we only need to manage that stack from
git_config_from_file. Let's factor it out to allow new
sources of config data.

The changes v1.7.12.1~2^2~4 (config: warn on inaccessible files,
2012-08-21) and v1.8.1.1~22^2~2 (config: treat user and xdg config
permission problems as errors, 2012-10-13) were intended to prevent
important configuration (think "[transfer] fsckobjects") from being
ignored when the configuration is unintentionally unreadable (for
example with EIO on a flaky filesystem, or with ENOMEM due to a DoS
attack). Usually ~/.gitconfig and ~/.config/git are readable by the
current user, and if they aren't then it would be easy to fix those
permissions, so the damage from adding this check should have been
minimal.
Unfortunately the access() check often trips when git is being run as
a server. A daemon (such as inetd or git-daemon) starts as "root",
creates a listening socket, and then drops privileges, meaning that
when git commands are invoked they cannot access $HOME and die with
fatal: unable to access '/root/.config/git/config': Permission denied
Any patch to fix this would have one of three problems:
1. We annoy sysadmins who need to take an extra step to handle HOME
when dropping privileges (the current behavior, or any other
proposal that they have to opt into).
2. We annoy sysadmins who want to set HOME when dropping privileges,
either by making what they want to do impossible, or making them
set an extra variable or option to accomplish what used to work
(e.g., a patch to git-daemon to set HOME when --user is passed).
3. We loosen the check, so some cases which might be noteworthy are
not caught.
This patch is of type (3).
Treat user and xdg configuration that are inaccessible due to
permissions (EACCES) as though no user configuration was provided at
all.
An alternative method would be to check if $HOME is readable, but that
would not help in cases where the user who dropped privileges had a
globally readable HOME with only .config or .gitconfig being private.
This does not change the behavior when /etc/gitconfig or .git/config
is unreadable (since those are more serious configuration errors),
nor when ~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git is unreadable due to problems
other than permissions.

The config callback functions get keys of the general form:
section.subsection.key
(where the subsection may be contain arbitrary data, or may
be missing). For matching keys without subsections, it is
simple enough to call "strcmp". Matching keys with
subsections is a little more complicated, and each callback
does it in an ad-hoc way, usually involving error-prone
pointer arithmetic.
Let's provide a helper that keeps the pointer arithmetic all
in one place.

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).

Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #,
in their commit log message. Many tracking system recognise
a token of #<bugid> form, for example.
The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end
users. They have a choice between
- Don't do it. 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.

Help compilers' flow analysis by making it more explicit that

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
|
|
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.

There is convenience in warning and moving on when somebody has a
bogus permissions on /etc/gitconfig and cannot do anything about it.
But the cost in predictability and security is too high --- when
unreadable config files are skipped, it means an I/O error or
permissions problem causes important configuration to be bypassed.
For example, servers may depend on /etc/gitconfig to enforce security
policy (setting transfer.fsckObjects or receive.deny*). Best to
always error out when encountering trouble accessing a config file.
This may add inconvenience in some cases:
1. You are inspecting somebody else's repo, and you do not have
access to their .git/config file. Git typically dies in this
case already since we cannot read core.repositoryFormatVersion,
so the change should not be too noticeable.
2. You have used "sudo -u" or a similar tool to switch uid, and your
environment still points Git at your original user's global
config, which is not readable. In this case people really would
be inconvenienced (they would rather see the harmless warning and
continue the operation) but they can work around it by setting
HOME appropriately after switching uids.
3. You do not have access to /etc/gitconfig due to a broken setup.
In this case, erroring out is a good way to put pressure on the
sysadmin to fix the setup. While they wait for a reply, users
can set GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM to true to keep Git working without
complaint.
After this patch, errors accessing the repository-local and systemwide
config files and files requested in include directives cause Git to
exit, just like errors accessing ~/.gitconfig.

Git reads multiple configuration files: settings come first from the
system config file (typically /etc/gitconfig), then the xdg config
file (typically ~/.config/git/config), then the user's dotfile
(~/.gitconfig), then the repository configuration (.git/config).
Git has always used access(2) to decide whether to use each file; as
an unfortunate side effect, that means that if one of these files is
unreadable (e.g., EPERM or EIO), git skips it. So if I use
~/.gitconfig to override some settings but make a mistake and give it
the wrong permissions then I am subject to the settings the sysadmin
chose for /etc/gitconfig.
Better to error out and ask the user to correct the problem.
This only affects the user and xdg config files, since the user
presumably has enough access to fix their permissions. If the system
config file is unreadable, the best we can do is to warn about it so
the user knows to notify someone and get on with work in the meantime.

Previously while reading the variable names in config files, there
was a 256 character limit with at most 128 of those characters being
used by the section header portion of the variable name. This
limitation was only enforced while reading the config files. It was
possible to write a config file that was not subsequently readable.
Instead of enforcing this limitation for both reading and writing,
remove it entirely by changing the var member of the config_file
struct to a strbuf instead of a fixed length buffer. Update all of
the parsing functions in config.c to use the strbuf instead of the
static buffer.
The parsing functions that returned the base length of the variable
name now return simply 0 for success and -1 for failure. The base
length information is obtained through the strbuf's len member.
We now send the buf member of the strbuf to external callback
functions to preserve the external api. None of the external
callers rely on the old size limitation for sizing their own buffers
so removing the limit should have no externally visible effect.

Before reading a config file, we check "!access(path, R_OK)"
to make sure that the file exists and is readable. If it's
not, then we silently ignore it.
For the case of ENOENT, this is fine, as the presence of the
file is optional. For other cases, though, it may indicate a
configuration error (e.g., not having permissions to read
the file). Let's print a warning in these cases to let the

Teaches git to normalize pathnames read from readdir(3) and all
arguments from the command line into precomposed UTF-8 (assuming
that they come as decomposed UTF-8) to work around issues on Mac OS.
I think there still are other places that need conversion
(e.g. paths that are read from stdin for some commands), but this
should be a good first step in the right direction.
* tb/sanitize-decomposed-utf-8-pathname:
git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode
|
|
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.

Teach git to read the "gitconfig" information from a new location,
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config; this allows the user to avoid
cluttering $HOME with many per-application configuration files.
In the order of reading, this file comes between the global
configuration file (typically $HOME/.gitconfig) and the system wide
configuration file (typically /etc/gitconfig).
We do not write to this new location (yet).
If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config
will be used. This is in line with XDG specification.
If the new file does not exist, the behavior is unchanged.

When calling "git push" without argument, we want to allow Git to do
something simple to explain and safe. push.default=matching is unsafe
when used to push to shared repositories, and hard to explain to
beginners in some contexts. It is debatable whether 'upstream' or
'current' is the safest or the easiest to explain, so introduce a new
mode called 'simple' that is the intersection of them: push to the
upstream branch, but only if it has the same name remotely. If not, give
an error that suggests the right command to push explicitely to
'upstream' or 'current'.
A question is whether to allow pushing when no upstream is configured. An
argument in favor of allowing the push is that it makes the new mode work
in more cases. On the other hand, refusing to push when no upstream is
configured encourages the user to set the upstream, which will be
beneficial on the next pull. Lacking better argument, we chose to deny
the push, because it will be easier to change in the future if someone
shows us wrong.

It can be useful to split your ~/.gitconfig across multiple
files. For example, you might have a "main" file which is
used on many machines, but a small set of per-machine
tweaks. Or you may want to make some of your config public
(e.g., clever aliases) while keeping other data back (e.g.,
your name or other identifying information). Or you may want
to include a number of config options in some subset of your
repos without copying and pasting (e.g., you want to
reference them from the .git/config of participating repos).
This patch introduces an include directive for config files.
It looks like:
[include]
path = /path/to/file
This is syntactically backwards-compatible with existing git
config parsers (i.e., they will see it as another config
entry and ignore it unless you are looking up include.path).
The implementation provides a "git_config_include" callback
which wraps regular config callbacks. Callers can pass it to
git_config_from_file, and it will transparently follow any
include directives, passing all of the discovered options to
the real callback.
Include directives are turned on automatically for "regular"
git config parsing. This includes calls to git_config, as
well as calls to the "git config" program that do not
specify a single file (e.g., using "-f", "--global", etc).
They are not turned on in other cases, including:
1. Parsing of other config-like files, like .gitmodules.
There isn't a real need, and I'd rather be conservative
and avoid unnecessary incompatibility or confusion.
2. Reading single files via "git config". This is for two
reasons:
a. backwards compatibility with scripts looking at
config-like files.
b. inspection of a specific file probably means you
care about just what's in that file, not a general
lookup for "do we have this value anywhere at
all". If that is not the case, the caller can
always specify "--includes".
3. Writing files via "git config"; we want to treat
include.* variables as literal items to be copied (or
modified), and not expand them. So "git config
--unset-all foo.bar" would operate _only_ on
.git/config, not any of its included files (just as it
also does not operate on ~/.gitconfig).

it would look only at that file. This turned out to be
confusing and cause a lot of bugs for little gain. As a
result, dc87183 (Only use GIT_CONFIG in "git config", not
other programs, 2008-06-30) took this away for all callers
except git-config.
Since git-config no longer uses it either, the variable can
just go away. As the diff shows, nobody was setting to
anything except NULL, so we can just replace any sites where
it was read with NULL.

Callers may want to provide a specific version of a file in which to look
for config. Right now this can be done by setting the magic global
config_exclusive_filename variable. By providing a version of git_config
that takes a filename, we can take a step towards making this magic global
go away.
Furthermore, by providing a more "advanced" interface, we now have a a
natural place to add new options for callers like git-config, which care
about tweaking the specifics of config lookup, without disturbing the
large number of "simple" users (i.e., every other part of git).
The astute reader of this patch may notice that the logic for handling
config_exclusive_filename was taken out of git_config_early, but added
into git_config. This means that git_config_early will no longer respect
config_exclusive_filename. That's OK, because the only other caller of
git_config_early is check_repository_format_gently, but the only function
which sets config_exclusive_filename is cmd_config, which does not call
check_repository_format_gently (and if it did, it would have been a bug,
anyway, as we would be checking the repository format in the wrong file).

The other config-writing functions (git_config_set and
git_config_set_multivar) each have an -"in_file" version to
write a specific file. Let's add one for rename_section,
with the eventual goal of moving away from the magic
config_exclusive_filename global.

The git_config_set_multivar_in_file function takes a
filename argument to specify the file into which the values
should be written. Currently, this value must be non-NULL.
Callers which want to write to the default location must use
the regular, non-"in_file" version, which will either write
to config_exclusive_filename, or to the repo config if the
exclusive filename is NULL.
Let's migrate the "default to using repo config" logic into
the "in_file" form. That will let callers get the same
default-if-NULL behavior as one gets with
config_exclusive_filename, but without having to use the
global variable.

This extends the earlier approach to stream a large file directly from the
filesystem to its own packfile, and allows "git add" to send large files
directly into a single pack. Older code used to spawn fast-import, but the
new bulk-checkin API replaces it.

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.

The config options core.packedGitWindowSize, core.packedGitLimit,
core.deltaBaseCacheLimit, core.bigFileThreshold, pack.windowMemory and
pack.packSizeLimit all claim to support suffixes up to and including
'g'. This implies that they should accept sizes >=2G on 64-bit
systems: certainly, specifying a size of 3g should not silently be
translated to zero or transformed into a large negative value due to
integer overflow. However, due to use of git_config_int() rather than
git_config_ulong(), that is exactly what happens:
% git config core.bigFileThreshold 2g
% git gc --aggressive # with extra debugging code to print out
# core.bigfilethreshold after parsing
bigfilethreshold: -2147483648
[...]
This is probably irrelevant for core.deltaBaseCacheLimit, but is
problematic for the other values. (It is particularly problematic for
core.packedGitLimit, which can't even be set to its default value in
the config file due to this bug.)
This fixes things for 32-bit platforms as well. They get the usual bad
config error if an overlarge value is specified, e.g.:
fatal: bad config value for 'core.bigfilethreshold' in /home/nix/.gitconfig
This is detected in all cases, even if the 32-bit platform has no size
larger than 'long'. For signed integral configuration values, we also
detect the case where the value is too large for the signed type but
not the unsigned type.
