2015-10-05use strbuf_complete to conditionally append slashLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+2
When working with paths in strbufs, we frequently want to ensure that a directory contains a trailing slash before appending to it. We can shorten this code (and make the intent more obvious) by calling strbuf_complete. Most of these cases are trivially identical conversions, but there are two things to note: - in a few cases we did not check that the strbuf is non-empty (which would lead to an out-of-bounds memory access). These were generally not triggerable in practice, either from earlier assertions, or typically because we would have just fed the strbuf to opendir(), which would choke on an empty path. - in a few cases we indexed the buffer with "original_len" or similar, rather than the current sb->len, and it is not immediately obvious from the diff that they are the same. In all of these cases, I manually verified that the strbuf does not change between the assignment and the strbuf_complete call. This does not convert cases which look like: if (sb->len && !is_dir_sep(sb->buf[sb->len - 1])) strbuf_addch(sb, '/'); as those are obviously semantically different. Some of these cases arguably should be doing that, but that is out of scope for this change, which aims purely for cleanup with no behavior change (and at least it will make such sites easier to find and examine in the future, as we can grep for strbuf_complete).

2015-09-28setup: fix "inside work tree" detection on case-insensitive filesystemsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+10
Git has a config variable to indicate that it is operating on a file system that is case-insensitive: core.ignoreCase. But the `dir_inside_of()` function did not respect that. As a result, if Git's idea of the current working directory disagreed in its upper/lower case with the `GIT_WORK_TREE` variable (e.g. `C:\test` vs `c:\test`) the user would be greeted by the error message fatal: git-am cannot be used without a working tree. when trying to run a rebase.

2015-09-21dir.c: don't exclude whole dir prematurely if neg pattern may matchLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+73
If there is a pattern "!foo/bar", this patch makes it not exclude "foo" right away. This gives us a chance to examine "foo" and re-include "foo/bar". In order for it to detect that the directory under examination should not be excluded right away, in other words it is a parent directory of a negative pattern, the "directory path" of the negative pattern must be literal. Patterns like "!f?o/bar" can't stop "foo" from being excluded. Basename matching (i.e. "no slashes in the pattern") or must-be-dir matching (i.e. "trailing slash in the pattern") does not work well with this. For example, if we descend in "foo" and are examining "foo/abc", current code for "foo/" pattern will check if path "foo/abc", not "foo", is a directory. The same problem with basename matching. These may need big code reorg to make it work. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-08-19untracked cache: fix entry invalidationLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-12/+56
First, the current code in untracked_cache_invalidate_path() is wrong because it can only handle paths "a" or "a/b", not "a/b/c" because lookup_untracked() only looks for entries directly under the given directory. In the last case, it will look for the entry "b/c" in directory "a" instead. This means if you delete or add an entry in a subdirectory, untracked cache may become out of date because it does not invalidate properly. This is noticed by David Turner. The second problem is about invalidation inside a fully untracked/excluded directory. In this case we may have to invalidate back to root. See the comment block for detail.

2015-08-19untracked-cache: fix subdirectory handlingLibravatar David Turner1-6/+8
Previously, some calls lookup_untracked would pass a full path. But lookup_untracked assumes that the portion of the path up to and including to the untracked_cache_dir has been removed. So lookup_untracked would be looking in the untracked_cache for 'foo' for 'foo/bar' (instead of just looking for 'bar'). This would cause untracked cache corruption. Instead, treat_directory learns to track the base length of the parent directory, so that only the last path component is passed to lookup_untracked.

2015-08-10memoize common git-path "constant" filesLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
One of the most common uses of git_path() is to pass a constant, like git_path("MERGE_MSG"). This has two drawbacks: 1. The return value is a static buffer, and the lifetime is dependent on other calls to git_path, etc. 2. There's no compile-time checking of the pathname. This is OK for a one-off (after all, we have to spell it correctly at least once), but many of these constant strings appear throughout the code. This patch introduces a series of functions to "memoize" these strings, which are essentially globals for the lifetime of the program. We compute the value once, take ownership of the buffer, and return the cached value for subsequent calls. cache.h provides a helper macro for defining these functions as one-liners, and defines a few common ones for global use. Using a macro is a little bit gross, but it does nicely document the purpose of the functions. If we need to touch them all later (e.g., because we learned how to change the git_dir variable at runtime, and need to invalidate all of the stored values), it will be much easier to have the complete list. Note that the shared-global functions have separate, manual declarations. We could do something clever with the macros (e.g., expand it to a declaration in some places, and a declaration _and_ a definition in path.c). But there aren't that many, and it's probably better to stay away from too-magical macros. Likewise, if we abandon the C preprocessor in favor of generating these with a script, we could get much fancier. E.g., normalizing "FOO/BAR-BAZ" into "git_path_foo_bar_baz". But the small amount of saved typing is probably not worth the resulting confusion to readers who want to grep for the function's definition.

$GIT_DIR/info/exclude and core.excludesfile (which falls back to $XDG_HOME/git/ignore) are both ways to override the ignore pattern lists given by the project in .gitignore files. The former, which is per-repository personal preference, should take precedence over the latter, which is a personal preference default across different repositories that are accessed from that machine. The existing documentation also agrees. However, the precedence order was screwed up between these two from the very beginning when 896bdfa2 (add: Support specifying an excludes file with a configuration variable, 2007-02-27) introduced core.excludesfile variable.

The expected call sequence is for the caller to use match_pathspec() repeatedly on a set of pathspecs, accumulating the "hits" in a separate array, and then call this function to diagnose a pathspec that never matched anything, as that can indicate a typo from the command line, e.g. "git commit Maekfile". Many builtin commands use this function from builtin/ls-files.c, which is not a very healthy arrangement. ls-files might have been the first command to feel the need for such a helper, but the need is shared by everybody who uses the "match and then report" pattern.

If the user enables untracked cache, then - move worktree to an unsupported filesystem - or simply upgrade OS - or move the whole (portable) disk from one machine to another - or access a shared fs from another machine there's no guarantee that untracked cache can still function properly. Record the worktree location and OS footprint in the cache. If it changes, err on the safe side and disable the cache. The user can 'update-index --untracked-cache' again to make sure all conditions are met. This adds a new requirement that setup_git_directory* must be called before read_cache() because we need worktree location by then, or the cache is dropped.

Ideally we should implement untracked_cache_remove_from_index() and untracked_cache_add_to_index() so that they update untracked cache right away instead of invalidating it and wait for read_directory() next time to deal with it. But that may need some more work in unpack-trees.c. So stay simple as the first step. The new call in add_index_entry_with_check() may look strange because new calls usually stay close to cache_tree_invalidate_path().

2015-03-12untracked cache: mark what dirs should be recursed/savedLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+13
If we redo this thing in a functional style, we would have one struct untracked_dir as input tree and another as output. The input is used for verification. The output is a brand new tree, reflecting current worktree. But that means recreate a lot of dir nodes even if a lot could be shared between input and output trees in good cases. So we go with the messy but efficient way, combining both input and output trees into one. We need a way to know which node in this combined tree belongs to the output. This is the purpose of this "recurse" flag. "valid" bit can't be used for this because it's about data of the node except the subdirs. When we invalidate a directory, we want to keep cached data of the subdirs intact even though we don't really know what subdir still exists (yet). Then we check worktree to see what actual subdir remains on disk. Those will have 'recurse' bit set again. If cached data for those are still valid, we may be able to avoid computing exclude files for them. Those subdirs that are deleted will have 'recurse' remained clear and their 'valid' bits do not matter.

2015-03-12untracked cache: record/validate dir mtime and reuse cached outputLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+119
The main readdir loop in read_directory_recursive() is replaced with a new one that checks if cached results of a directory is still valid. If a file is added or removed from the index, the containing directory is invalidated (but not its subdirs). If directory's mtime is changed, the same happens. If a .gitignore is updated, the containing directory and all subdirs are invalidated recursively. If dir_struct#flags or other conditions change, the cache is ignored. If a directory is invalidated, we opendir/readdir/closedir and run the exclude machinery on that directory listing as usual. If untracked cache is also enabled, we'll update the cache along the way. If a directory is validated, we simply pull the untracked listing out from the cache. The cache also records the list of direct subdirs that we have to recurse in. Fully excluded directories are seen as "untracked files". In the best case when no dirs are invalidated, read_directory() becomes a series of stat(dir), open(.gitignore), fstat(), read(), close() and optionally hash_sha1_file() For comparison, standard read_directory() is a sequence of opendir(), readdir(), open(.gitignore), fstat(), read(), close(), the expensive last_exclude_matching() and closedir(). We already try not to open(.gitignore) if we know it does not exist, so open/fstat/read/close sequence does not apply to every directory. The sequence could be reduced further, as noted in prep_exclude() in another patch. So in theory, the entire best-case read_directory sequence could be reduced to a series of stat() and nothing else. This is not a silver bullet approach. When you compile a C file, for example, the old .o file is removed and a new one with the same name created, effectively invalidating the containing directory's cache (but not its subdirectories). If your build process touches every directory, this cache adds extra overhead for nothing, so it's a good idea to separate generated files from tracked files.. Editors may use the same strategy for saving files. And of course you're out of luck running your repo on an unsupported filesystem and/or operating system.

If .gitignore is removed, add_excludes() will treat it like an empty .gitignore, which again should invalidate the cached directory data. if .gitignore is added, lookup_untracked() already fills initial .gitignore SHA-1 as "empty file", so again invalidate_gitignore() is called.

Make sure the starting conditions and all global exclude files are good to go. If not, either disable untracked cache completely, or wipe out the cache and start fresh. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-03-12untracked cache: record .gitignore information and dir hierarchyLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-19/+123
The idea is if we can capture all input and (non-rescursive) output of read_directory_recursive(), and can verify later that all the input is the same, then the second r_d_r() should produce the same output as in the first run. The requirement for this to work is stat info of a directory MUST change if an entry is added to or removed from that directory (and should not change often otherwise). If your OS and filesystem do not meet this requirement, untracked cache is not for you. Most file systems on *nix should be fine. On Windows, NTFS is fine while FAT may not be [1] even though FAT on Linux seems to be fine. The list of input of r_d_r() is in the big comment block in dir.h. In short, the output of a directory (not counting subdirs) mainly depends on stat info of the directory in question, all .gitignore leading to it and the check_only flag when r_d_r() is called recursively. This patch records all this info (and the output) as r_d_r() runs. Two hash_sha1_file() are required for $GIT_DIR/info/exclude and core.excludesfile unless their stat data matches. hash_sha1_file() is only needed when .gitignore files in the worktree are modified, otherwise their SHA-1 in index is used (see the previous patch). We could store stat data for .gitignore files so we don't have to rehash them if their content is different from index, but I think .gitignore files are rarely modified, so not worth extra cache data (and hashing penalty read-cache.c:verify_hdr(), as we will be storing this as an index extension). The implication is, if you change .gitignore, you better add it to the index soon or you lose all the benefit of untracked cache because a modified .gitignore invalidates all subdirs recursively. This is especially bad for .gitignore at root. This cached output is about untracked files only, not ignored files because the number of tracked files is usually small, so small cache overhead, while the number of ignored files could go really high (e.g. *.o files mixing with source code).

2015-03-12dir.c: optionally compute sha-1 of a .gitignore fileLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-7/+47
This is not used anywhere yet. But the goal is to compare quickly if a .gitignore file has changed when we have the SHA-1 of both old (cached somewhere) and new (from index or a tree) versions.
