The ignore mechanism saw a few regressions around untracked file
listing and sparse checkout selection areas in 2.7.0; the change
that is responsible for the regression has been reverted.
* nd/exclusion-regression-fix:
Revert "dir.c: don't exclude whole dir prematurely if neg pattern may match"
|
|
The "exclude_list" structure has the usual "alloc, nr" pair of
fields to be used by ALLOC_GROW(), but clear_exclude_list() forgot
to reset 'alloc' to 0 when it cleared 'nr'to discard the managed
array.
* nd/dir-exclude-cleanup:
dir.c: clean the entire struct in clear_exclude_list()
|
|
This reverts commit 57534ee77d22e725d971ee89c77dc6aad61c573f. The
feature added in that commit requires that patterns behave the same way
from anywhere. But some patterns can behave differently depending on
current "working" directory. The conditions to catch and avoid these
patterns are too loose. The untracked listing[1] and sparse-checkout
selection[2] can become incorrect as a result.

Make sure "el" can be reuseable again. The problem was el->alloc is
not cleared and may cause segfaults next time because add_exclude()
thinks el->excludes (being NULL) has enough space. Just clear the
entire struct to be safe.

The name-hash subsystem that is used to cope with case insensitive
filesystems keeps track of directories and their on-filesystem
cases for all the paths in the index by holding a pointer to a
randomly chosen cache entry that is inside the directory (for its
ce->ce_name component). This pointer was not updated even when the
cache entry was removed from the index, leading to use after free.
This was fixed by recording the path for each directory instead of
borrowing cache entries and restructuring the API somewhat.
* dt/name-hash-dir-entry-fix:
name-hash: don't reuse cache_entry in dir_entry
|
|
Stop reusing cache_entry in dir_entry; doing so causes a
use-after-free bug.
During merges, we free entries that we no longer need in the
destination index. But those entries might have also been stored in
the dir_entry cache, and when a later call to add_to_index found them,
they would be used after being freed.
To prevent this, change dir_entry to store a copy of the name instead
of a pointer to a cache_entry. This entails some refactoring of code
that expects the cache_entry.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Allow untracked cache (experimental) to be used when sparse

* dt/untracked-sparse:
untracked-cache: support sparse checkout
|

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.

Even though the previous step shifts where the "entry" begins, we
still iterate over the original buf[], which may begin with the
UTF-8 BOM we are supposed to be skipping. At the end of the first
line, the code grabs the contents of it starting at "entry", so
there is nothing wrong per-se, but the logic looks really confused.
Instead, move the buf pointer and shrink its size, to truly
pretend that UTF-8 BOM did not exist in the input.

Some text editors like Notepad or LibreOffice write an UTF-8 BOM in
order to indicate that the file is Unicode text rather than whatever the
current locale would indicate.
If someone uses such an editor to edit a gitignore file, we are left
with those three bytes at the beginning of the file. If we do not skip
them, we will attempt to match a filename with the BOM as prefix, which
won't match the files the user is expecting.

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.
Move it to dir.c where match_pathspec() is defined.

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.
This change does not cover all bases, you can fool it if you try
hard. The point is to stop accidents.

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(). We do it
a bit later than c_t_i_p() in this function because if it's about
replacing the entry with the same name, we don't care (but cache-tree
does).

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.

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.
