2022-04-06Merge branch 'ab/make-optim-noop'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
A micro fix to a topic earlier merged to 'master' source: <patch-1.1-05949221e3f-20220319T002715Z-avarab@gmail.com> * ab/make-optim-noop: contrib/scalar: fix 'all' target in Makefile Documentation/Makefile: fix "make info" regression in dad9cd7d518
2022-04-06contrib/scalar: fix 'all' target in MakefileLibravatar Victoria Dye1-1/+1
Add extra ':' to second 'all' target definition to allow 'scalar' to build. Without this fix, the 'all:' and 'all::' targets together cause a build failure when 'scalar' build is enabled with 'INCLUDE_SCALAR': Makefile:14: *** target file `all' has both : and :: entries.

2022-03-30Merge branch 'vd/stash-silence-reset'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
"git stash" does not allow subcommands it internally runs as its implementation detail, except for "git reset", to emit messages; now "git reset" part has also been squelched. * vd/stash-silence-reset: reset: show --no-refresh in the short-help reset: remove 'reset.refresh' config option reset: remove 'reset.quiet' config option reset: do not make '--quiet' disable index refresh stash: make internal resets quiet and refresh index reset: suppress '--no-refresh' advice if logging is silenced reset: replace '--quiet' with '--no-refresh' in performance advice reset: introduce --[no-]refresh option to --mixed reset: revise index refresh advice
2022-03-23reset: remove 'reset.quiet' config optionLibravatar Victoria Dye1-1/+0
Remove the 'reset.quiet' config option, remove '--no-quiet' documentation in 'Documentation/git-reset.txt'. In 4c3abd0551 (reset: add new reset.quiet config setting, 2018-10-23), 'reset.quiet' was introduced as a way to globally change the default behavior of 'git reset --mixed' to skip index refresh. However, now that '--quiet' does not affect index refresh, 'reset.quiet' would only serve to globally silence logging. This was not the original intention of the config setting, and there's no precedent for such a setting in other commands with a '--quiet' option, so it appears to be obsolete. In addition to the options & its documentation, remove 'reset.quiet' from the recommended config for 'scalar'.

2022-03-03Makefile: add "$(QUIET)" boilerplate to shared.makLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-14/+0
The $(QUIET) variables we define are largely duplicated between our various Makefiles, let's define them in the new "shared.mak" instead. Since we're not using the environment to pass these around we don't need to export the "QUIET_GEN" and "QUIET_BUILT_IN" variables anymore. The "QUIET_GEN" variable is used in "git-gui/Makefile" and "gitweb/Makefile", but they've got their own definition for those. The "QUIET_BUILT_IN" variable is only used in the top-level "Makefile". We still need to export the "V" variable. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2022-03-03Makefiles: add "shared.mak", move ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" to itLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason2-0/+6
We have various behavior that's shared across our Makefiles, or that really should be (e.g. via defined templates). Let's create a top-level "shared.mak" to house those sorts of things, and start by adding the ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag to it. See my own 7b76d6bf221 (Makefile: add and use the ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag, 2021-06-29) and db10fc6c09f (doc: simplify Makefile using .DELETE_ON_ERROR, 2021-05-21) for the addition and use of the ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag. I.e. this changes the behavior of existing rules in the altered Makefiles (except "Makefile" & "Documentation/Makefile"). I'm confident that this is safe having read the relevant rules in those Makfiles, and as the GNU make manual notes that it isn't the default behavior is out of an abundance of backwards compatibility caution. From edition 0.75 of its manual, covering GNU make 4.3: [Enabling '.DELETE_ON_ERROR' is] almost always what you want 'make' to do, but it is not historical practice; so for compatibility, you must explicitly request it. This doesn't introduce a bug by e.g. having this ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag only apply to this new shared.mak, Makefiles have no such scoping semantics. It does increase the danger that any Makefile without an explicit "The default target of this Makefile is..." snippet to define the default target as "all" could have its default rule changed if our new shared.mak ever defines a "real" rule. In subsequent commits we'll be careful not to do that, and such breakage would be obvious e.g. in the case of "make -C t". We might want to make that less fragile still (e.g. by using ".DEFAULT_GOAL" as noted in the preceding commit), but for now let's simply include "shared.mak" without adding that boilerplate to all the Makefiles that don't have it already. Most of those are already exposed to that potential caveat e.g. due to including "config.mak*".

2022-03-03scalar Makefile: use "The default target of..." patternLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-6/+7
Make the "contrib/scalar/Makefile" be stylistically consistent with the top-level "Makefile" in first declaring "all" to be the default rule, followed by including other Makefile snippets. This adjusts code added in 0a43fb22026 (scalar: create a rudimentary executable, 2021-12-03), it further ensures that when we add another "include" file in a subsequent commit that the included file won't be the one to define our default target.

2022-01-28scalar: accept -C and -c options before the subcommandLibravatar Johannes Schindelin3-1/+39
The `git` executable has these two very useful options: -C <directory>: switch to the specified directory before performing any actions -c <key>=<value>: temporarily configure this setting for the duration of the specified scalar subcommand With this commit, we teach the `scalar` executable the same trick. Note: It might look like a good idea to try to reuse the `handle_options()` function in `git.c` instead of replicating only the `-c`/`-C` part. However, that function is not only not in `libgit.a`, it is also intricately entangled with the rest of the code in `git.c` that is necessary e.g. to handle `--paginate`. Besides, no other option handled by that `handle_options()` function is relevant to Scalar, therefore the cost of refactoring vastly would outweigh the benefit.

2021-12-04scalar: implement the `version` commandLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+39
The .NET version of Scalar has a `version` command. This was necessary because it was versioned independently of Git. Since Scalar is now tightly coupled with Git, it does not make sense for them to show different versions. Therefore, it shows the same output as `git version`. For backwards-compatibility with the .NET version, `scalar version` prints to `stderr`, though (`git version` prints to `stdout` instead).

2021-12-04scalar: implement the `delete` commandLibravatar Matthew John Cheetham3-0/+80
Delete an enlistment by first unregistering the repository and then deleting the enlistment directory (usually the directory containing the worktree `src/` directory). On Windows, if the current directory is inside the enlistment's directory, change to the parent of the enlistment directory, to allow us to delete the enlistment (directories used by processes e.g. as current working directories cannot be deleted on Windows).

2021-12-04scalar: implement the `run` commandLibravatar Derrick Stolee2-0/+83
Note: this subcommand is provided primarily for backwards-compatibility, for existing Scalar uses. It is mostly just a shim for `git maintenance`, mapping task names from the way Scalar called them to the way Git calls them. The reason why those names differ? The background maintenance was first implemented in Scalar, and when it was contributed as a patch series implementing the `git maintenance` command, reviewers suggested better names, those suggestions were accepted before the patches were integrated into core Git.

2021-12-04scalar: teach 'clone' to support the --single-branch optionLibravatar Johannes Schindelin3-4/+23

2021-12-04scalar: implement the `clone` subcommandLibravatar Johannes Schindelin3-3/+262
This implements Scalar's opinionated `clone` command: it tries to use a partial clone and sets up a sparse checkout by default. In contrast to `git clone`, `scalar clone` sets up the worktree in the `src/` subdirectory, to encourage a separation between the source files and the build output (which helps Git tremendously because it avoids untracked files that have to be specifically ignored when refreshing the index). Also, it registers the repository for regular, scheduled maintenance, and configures a flurry of configuration settings based on the experience and experiments of the Microsoft Windows and the Microsoft Office development teams. Note: since the `scalar clone` command is by far the most commonly called `scalar` subcommand, we document it at the top of the manual page.

2021-12-04scalar: 'unregister' stops background maintenanceLibravatar Derrick Stolee2-8/+50
Just like `scalar register` starts the scheduled background maintenance, `scalar unregister` stops it. Note that we use `git maintenance start` in `scalar register`, but we do not use `git maintenance stop` in `scalar unregister`: this would stop maintenance for _all_ repositories, not just for the one we want to unregister. The `unregister` command also removes the corresponding entry from the `[scalar]` section in the global Git config.

2021-12-04scalar: 'register' sets recommended config and starts maintenanceLibravatar Derrick Stolee2-1/+266
Let's start implementing the `register` command. With this commit, recommended settings are configured upon `scalar register`, and Git's background maintenance is started. The recommended config settings may very well change in the future. For example, once the built-in FSMonitor is available, we will want to enable it upon `scalar register`. For that reason, we explicitly support running `scalar register` in an already-registered enlistment.

2021-12-04scalar: create test infrastructureLibravatar Johannes Schindelin3-3/+109
To test the Scalar command, create a test script in contrib/scalar/t that is executed as `make -C contrib/scalar test`. Since Scalar has no meaningful capabilities yet, the only test is rather simple. We will add more tests in subsequent commits that introduce corresponding, new functionality. Note: This test script is intended to test `scalar` only lightly, even after all of the functionality is implemented. A more comprehensive functional (or: integration) test suite can be found at https://github.com/microsoft/scalar; It is used in the workflow https://github.com/microsoft/git/blob/HEAD/.github/workflows/scalar-functional-tests.yml in Microsoft's Git fork. This test suite performs end-to-end tests with a real remote repository, and is run as part of the regular CI and PR builds in that fork. Since those tests require some functionality supported only by Microsoft's Git fork ("GVFS protocol"), there is no intention to port that fuller test suite to `contrib/scalar/`.

2021-12-04scalar: create a rudimentary executableLibravatar Johannes Schindelin3-0/+72
The idea of Scalar (https://github.com/microsoft/scalar), and before that, of VFS for Git, has always been to prove that Git _can_ scale, and to upstream whatever strategies have been demonstrated to help. With this patch, we start the journey from that C# project to move what is left to Git's own `contrib/` directory, reimplementing it in pure C, with the intention to facilitate integrating the functionality into core Git all while maintaining backwards-compatibility for existing Scalar users (which will be much easier when both live in the same worktree). It has always been the plan to contribute all of the proven strategies back to core Git. For example, while the virtual filesystem provided by VFS for Git helped the team developing the Windows operating system to move onto Git, while trying to upstream it we realized that it cannot be done: getting the virtual filesystem to work (which we only managed to implement fully on Windows, but not on, say, macOS or Linux), and the required server-side support for the GVFS protocol, made this not quite feasible. The Scalar project learned from that and tackled the problem with different tactics: instead of pretending to Git that the working directory is fully populated, it _specifically_ teaches Git about partial clone (which is based on VFS for Git's cache server), about sparse checkout (which VFS for Git tried to do transparently, in the file system layer), and regularly runs maintenance tasks to keep the repository in a healthy state. With partial clone, sparse checkout and `git maintenance` having been upstreamed, there is little left that `scalar.exe` does which `git.exe` cannot do. One such thing is that `scalar clone <url>` will automatically set up a partial, sparse clone, and configure known-helpful settings from the start. So let's bring this convenience into Git's tree. The idea here is that you can (optionally) build Scalar via make -C contrib/scalar/ This will build the `scalar` executable and put it into the contrib/scalar/ subdirectory. The slightly awkward addition of the `contrib/scalar/*` bits to the top-level `Makefile` are actually really required: we want to link to `libgit.a`, which means that we will need to use the very same `CFLAGS` and `LDFLAGS` as the rest of Git. An early development version of this patch tried to replicate all the conditional code in `contrib/scalar/Makefile` (e.g. `NO_POLL`) just like `contrib/svn-fe/Makefile` used to do before it was retired. It turned out to be quite the whack-a-mole game: the SHA-1-related flags, the flags enabling/disabling `compat/poll/`, `compat/regex/`, `compat/win32mmap.c` & friends depending on the current platform... To put it mildly: it was a major mess. Instead, this patch makes minimal changes to the top-level `Makefile` so that the bits in `contrib/scalar/` can be compiled and linked, and adds a `contrib/scalar/Makefile` that uses the top-level `Makefile` in a most minimal way to do the actual compiling. Note: With this commit, we only establish the infrastructure, no Scalar functionality is implemented yet; We will do that incrementally over the next few commits.
