2022-02-08completion: handle unusual characters for sparse-checkoutLibravatar Lessley Dennington1-13/+11
Update the __gitcomp_directories method to de-quote and handle unusual characters in directory names. Although this initially involved an attempt to re-use the logic in __git_index_files, this method removed subdirectories (e.g. folder1/0/ became folder1/), so instead new custom logic was placed directly in the __gitcomp_directories method. Note there are two tests for this new functionality - one for spaces and accents and one for backslashes and tabs. The backslashes and tabs test uses FUNNYNAMES to avoid running on Windows. This is because: 1. Backslashes are explicitly not allowed in Windows file paths. 2. Although tabs appear to be allowed when creating a file in a Windows bash shell, they actually are not renderable (and appear as empty boxes in the shell).

Use new __gitcomp_directories method to complete directory names in cone mode sparse-checkouts. This method addresses the caveat of poor performance in monorepos from the previous commit (by completing only one level of directories).

2022-02-08completion: address sparse-checkout issuesLibravatar Lessley Dennington1-8/+8
Correct multiple issues with tab completion of the git sparse-checkout command. These issues were: 1. git sparse-checkout <TAB> previously resulted in an incomplete list of subcommands (it was missing reapply and add). 2. Subcommand options were not tab-completable. 3. git sparse-checkout set <TAB> and git sparse-checkout add <TAB> showed both file names and directory names. While this may be a less surprising behavior for non-cone mode, cone mode sparse checkouts should complete only directory names. Note that while the new strategy of just using git ls-tree to complete on directory names is simple and a step in the right direction, it does have some caveats. These are: 1. Likelihood of poor performance in large monorepos (as a result of recursively completing directory names). 2. Inability to handle paths containing unusual characters. These caveats will be fixed by subsequent commits in this series.

2022-02-02completion: add a GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL_COMMANDSLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+12
Add a GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL_COMMANDS=1 configuration setting to go with the existing GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL=1 added in c099f579b98 (completion: add GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL env var, 2020-08-19). This will include plumbing commands such as "cat-file" in "git <TAB>" and "git c<TAB>" completion. Without/with this I have 134 and 243 completion with git <TAB>, respectively. It was already possible to do this by tweaking GIT_TESTING_PORCELAIN_COMMAND_LIST= from the outside, that testing variable was added in 84a97131065 (completion: let git provide the completable command list, 2018-05-20). Doing this before loading git-completion.bash worked: export GIT_TESTING_PORCELAIN_COMMAND_LIST="$(git --list-cmds=builtins,main,list-mainporcelain,others,nohelpers,alias,list-complete,config)" But such testing variables are not meant to be used from the outside, and we make no guarantees that those internal won't change. So let's expose this as a dedicated configuration knob. It would be better to teach --list-cmds=* a new category which would include all of these groups, but that's a larger change that we can leave for some other time. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAGP6POJ9gwp+t-eP3TPkivBLLbNb2+qj=61Mehcj=1BgrVOSLA@mail.gmail.com/ Reported-by: Hongyi Zhao <hongyi.zhao@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

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.

2022-01-17wrapper: add a helper to generate numbers from a CSPRNGLibravatar brian m. carlson1-1/+1
There are many situations in which having access to a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) is helpful. In the future, we'll encounter one of these when dealing with temporary files. To make this possible, let's add a function which reads from a system CSPRNG and returns some bytes. We know that all systems will have such an interface. A CSPRNG is required for a secure TLS or SSH implementation and a Git implementation which provided neither would be of little practical use. In addition, POSIX is set to standardize getentropy(2) in the next version, so in the (potentially distant) future we can rely on that. For systems which lack one of the other interfaces, we provide the ability to use OpenSSL's CSPRNG. OpenSSL is highly portable and functions on practically every known OS, and we know it will have access to some source of cryptographically secure randomness. We also provide support for the arc4random in libbsd for folks who would prefer to use that. Because this is a security sensitive interface, we take some precautions. We either succeed by filling the buffer completely as we requested, or we fail. We don't return partial data because the caller will almost never find that to be a useful behavior. Specify a makefile knob which users can use to specify one or more suitable CSPRNGs, and turn the multiple string options into a set of defines, since we cannot match on strings in the preprocessor. We allow multiple options to make the job of handling this in autoconf easier. The order of options is important here. On systems with arc4random, which is most of the BSDs, we use that, since, except on MirBSD and macOS, it uses ChaCha20, which is extremely fast, and sits entirely in userspace, avoiding a system call. We then prefer getrandom over getentropy, because the former has been available longer on Linux, and then OpenSSL. Finally, if none of those are available, we use /dev/urandom, because most Unix-like operating systems provide that API. We prefer options that don't involve device files when possible because those work in some restricted environments where device files may not be available. Set the configuration variables appropriately for Linux and the BSDs, including macOS, as well as Windows and NonStop. We specifically only consider versions which receive publicly available security support here. For the same reason, we don't specify getrandom(2) on Linux, because CentOS 7 doesn't support it in glibc (although its kernel does) and we don't want to resort to making syscalls. Finally, add a test helper to allow this to be tested by hand and in tests. We don't add any tests, since invoking the CSPRNG is not likely to produce interesting, reproducible results.

2022-01-04subtree: fix argument handling in check_parentsLibravatar James Limbouris1-4/+3
315a84f9aa0 (subtree: use commits before rejoins for splits, 2018-09-28) changed the signature of check_parents from 'check_parents [REV...]' to 'check_parents PARENTS_EXPR INDENT'. In other words the variable list of parent revisions became a list embedded in a string. However it neglected to unpack the list again before sending it to cache_miss, leading to incorrect calls whenever more than one parent was present. This is the case whenever a merge commit is processed, with the end result being a loss of performance from unecessary rechecks. The indent parameter was subsequently removed in e9525a8a029 (subtree: have $indent actually affect indentation, 2021-04-27), but the argument handling bug remained. For consistency, take multiple arguments in check_parents, and pass all of them to cache_miss separately.

2021-12-13t6000-t9999: detect and signal failure within loopLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-1/+1
Failures within `for` and `while` loops can go unnoticed if not detected and signaled manually since the loop itself does not abort when a contained command fails, nor will a failure necessarily be detected when the loop finishes since the loop returns the exit code of the last command it ran on the final iteration, which may not be the command which failed. Therefore, detect and signal failures manually within loops using the idiom `|| return 1` (or `|| exit 1` within subshells).

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).

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: 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.

2021-12-01git-compat-util: add a test balloon for C99 supportLibravatar brian m. carlson1-1/+1
The C99 standard was released in January 1999, now 22 years ago. It provides a variety of useful features, including variadic arguments for macros, declarations after statements, designated initializers, and a wide variety of other useful features, many of which we already use. We'd like to take advantage of these features, but we want to be cautious. As far as we know, all major compilers now support C99 or a later C standard, such as C11 or C17. POSIX has required C99 support as a requirement for the 2001 revision, so we can safely assume any POSIX system which we are interested in supporting has C99. Even MSVC, long a holdout against modern C, now supports both C11 and C17 with an appropriate update. Moreover, even if people are using an older version of MSVC on these systems, they will generally need some implementation of the standard Unix utilities for the testsuite, and GNU coreutils, the most common option, has required C99 since 2009. Therefore, we can safely assume that a suitable version of GCC or clang is available to users even if their version of MSVC is not sufficiently capable. Let's add a test balloon to git-compat-util.h to see if anyone is using an older compiler. We'll add a comment telling people how to enable this functionality on GCC and Clang, even though modern versions of both will automatically do the right thing, and ask people still experiencing a problem to report that to us on the list. Note that C89 compilers don't provide the __STDC_VERSION__ macro, so we use a well-known hack of using "- 0". On compilers with this macro, it doesn't change the value, and on C89 compilers, the macro will be replaced with nothing, and our value will be 0. For sparse, we explicitly request the gnu99 style because we've traditionally taken advantage of some GCC- and clang-specific extensions when available and we'd like to retain the ability to do that. sparse also defaults to C89 without it, so things will fail for us if we don't. Update the cmake configuration to require C11 for MSVC. We do this because this will make MSVC to use C11, since it does not explicitly support C99. We do this with a compiler options because setting the C_STANDARD option does not work in our CI on MSVC and at the moment, we don't want to require C11 for Unix compilers. In the Makefile, don't set any compiler flags for the compiler itself, since on some systems, such as FreeBSD, we actually need C11, and asking for C99 causes things to fail to compile. The error message should make it obvious what's going wrong and allow a user to set the appropriate option when building in the event they're using a Unix compiler that doesn't support it by default.

2021-12-01xdiff: implement a zealous diff3, or "zdiff3"Libravatar Phillip Wood1-3/+3
"zdiff3" is identical to ordinary diff3 except that it allows compaction of common lines on the two sides of history at the beginning or end of the conflict hunk. For example, the following diff3 conflict: 1 2 3 4 <<<<<< A B C D E |||||| 5 6 ====== A X C Y E >>>>>> 7 8 9 has common lines 'A', 'C', and 'E' on the two sides. With zdiff3, one would instead get the following conflict: 1 2 3 4 A <<<<<< B C D |||||| 5 6 ====== X C Y >>>>>> E 7 8 9 Note that the common lines, 'A', and 'E' were moved outside the conflict. Unlike with the two-way conflicts from the 'merge' conflictStyle, the zdiff3 conflict is NOT split into multiple conflict regions to allow the common 'C' lines to be shown outside a conflict, because zdiff3 shows the base version too and the base version cannot be reasonably split. Note also that the removing of lines common to the two sides might make the remaining text inside the conflict region match the base text inside the conflict region (for example, if the diff3 conflict had '5 6 E' on the right side of the conflict, then the common line 'E' would be moved outside and both the base and right side's remaining conflict text would be the lines '5' and '6'). This has the potential to surprise users and make them think there should not have been a conflict, but there definitely was a conflict and it should remain.

2021-10-28completion: fix incorrect bash/zsh string equality checkLibravatar Robert Estelle1-1/+1
In the basic `[`/`test` command, the string equality operator is a single `=`. The `==` operator is only available in `[[`, which is a bash-ism also supported by zsh. This mix-up was causing the following completion error in zsh: > __git_ls_files_helper:7: = not found (That message refers to the extraneous symbol in `==` ← `=`). This updates that comparison to use a single `=` inside the basic `[ … ]` test conditional. Although this fix is inconsistent with the other comparisons in this file, which use `[[ … == … ]]`, and the two expressions are functionally identical in this context, that approach was rejected due to a preference for `[`.

2021-10-28send-email: programmatically generate bash completionsLibravatar Thiago Perrotta1-10/+1
"git send-email --git-completion-helper" only prints "format-patch" flags. Make it print "send-email" flags as well, extracting them programmatically from its three existing "GetOptions". Introduce a "uniq" subroutine, otherwise --cc-cover, --to-cover and other flags would show up twice. In addition, deduplicate flags common to both "send-email" and "format-patch", like --from. Remove extraneous flags: --h and --git-completion-helper. Add trailing "=" to options that expect an argument, inline with the format-patch implementation. Add a completion test for "send-email --validate", a send-email flag.

2021-10-21git-sh-setup: remove "sane_grep", it's not needed anymoreLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+0
Remove the sane_grep() shell function in git-sh-setup. The two reasons for why it existed don't apply anymore: 1. It was added due to GNU grep supporting GREP_OPTIONS. See e1622bfcbad (Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanity, 2009-11-23). Newer versions of GNU grep ignore that, but even on older versions its existence won't matter, none of these sane_grep() uses care about grep's output, they're merely using it to check if a string exists in a file or stream. We also don't care about the "LC_ALL=C" that "sane_grep" was using, these greps for fixed or ASCII strings will behave the same under any locale. 2. The SANE_TEXT_GREP added in 71b401032b9 (sane_grep: pass "-a" if grep accepts it, 2016-03-08) isn't needed either, none of these grep uses deal with binary data.
