2013-10-24checkout_entry(): clarify the use of topath[] parameterLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
The said function has this signature: extern int checkout_entry(struct cache_entry *ce, const struct checkout *state, char *topath); At first glance, it might appear that the caller of checkout_entry() can specify to which path the contents are written out by the last parameter, and it is tempting to add "const" in front of its type. In reality, however, topath[] is to point at a buffer to store the temporary path generated by the callchain originating from this function, and the temporary path is always short, much shorter than the buffer prepared by its only caller in builtin/checkout-index.c. Document the code a bit to clarify so that future callers know how to use the function better. Noticed-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-10-24entry.c: convert checkout_entry to use strbufLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-5/+8
The old code does not do boundary check so any paths longer than PATH_MAX can cause buffer overflow. Replace it with strbuf to handle paths of arbitrary length. The OS may reject if the path is too long though. But in that case we report the cause (e.g. name too long) and usually move on to checking out the next entry.

There are only four (with some generous rounding) instances in the current source code where we speak of "subproject" instead of "submodule". They are as follows: * one error message in git-apply and two in entry.c * the patch format for submodule changes The latter was introduced in 0478675 (Expose subprojects as special files to "git diff" machinery, 2007-04-15), apparently before the terminology was settled. We can of course not change the patch format. Let's at least change the error messages to consistently call them "submodule".

2013-07-09Convert "struct cache_entry *" to "const ..." wherever possibleLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-5/+7
I attempted to make index_state->cache[] a "const struct cache_entry **" to find out how existing entries in index are modified and where. The question I have is what do we do if we really need to keep track of on-disk changes in the index. The result is - diff-lib.c: setting CE_UPTODATE - name-hash.c: setting CE_HASHED - preload-index.c, read-cache.c, unpack-trees.c and builtin/update-index: obvious - entry.c: write_entry() may refresh the checked out entry via fill_stat_cache_info(). This causes "non-const struct cache_entry *" in builtin/apply.c, builtin/checkout-index.c and builtin/checkout.c - builtin/ls-files.c: --with-tree changes stagemask and may set CE_UPDATE Of these, write_entry() and its call sites are probably most interesting because it modifies on-disk info. But this is stat info and can be retrieved via refresh, at least for porcelain commands. Other just uses ce_flags for local purposes. So, keeping track of "dirty" entries is just a matter of setting a flag in index modification functions exposed by read-cache.c. Except unpack-trees, the rest of the code base does not do anything funny behind read-cache's back. The actual patch is less valueable than the summary above. But if anyone wants to re-identify the above sites. Applying this patch, then this: diff --git a/cache.h b/cache.h index 430d021..1692891 100644 --- a/cache.h +++ b/cache.h @@ -267,7 +267,7 @@ static inline unsigned int canon_mode(unsigned int mode) #define cache_entry_size(len) (offsetof(struct cache_entry,name) + (len) + 1) struct index_state { - struct cache_entry **cache; + const struct cache_entry **cache; unsigned int version; unsigned int cache_nr, cache_alloc, cache_changed; struct string_list *resolve_undo; will help quickly identify them without bogus warnings.

2013-03-27streaming_write_entry: propagate streaming errorsLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+9
When we are streaming an index blob to disk, we store the error from stream_blob_to_fd in the "result" variable, and then immediately overwrite that with the return value of "close". That means we catch errors on close (e.g., problems committing the file to disk), but miss anything which happened before then. We can fix this by using bitwise-OR to accumulate errors in our result variable. While we're here, we can also simplify the error handling with an early return, which makes it easier to see under which circumstances we need to clean up.

2013-03-14entry: fix filter lookupLibravatar John Keeping1-1/+1
When looking up the stream filter, write_entry() should be passing the path of the file in the repository, not the path to which the content is going to be written. This allows the file to be correctly looked up against the .gitattributes files in the working tree. This change makes the streaming case match the non-streaming case which passes ce->name to convert_to_working_tree later in the same function. The two tests added here test the different paths through write_entry since the CRLF filter is a streaming filter but the user-defined smudge filter is not streamed.

2011-05-26Add streaming filter APILibravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+10
This introduces an API to plug custom filters to an input stream. The caller gets get_stream_filter("path") to obtain an appropriate filter for the path, and then uses it when opening an input stream via open_istream(). After that, the caller can read from the stream with read_istream(), and close it with close_istream(), just like an unfiltered stream. This only adds a "null" filter that is a pass-thru filter, but later changes can add LF-to-CRLF and other filters, and the callers of the streaming API do not have to change.

2011-05-20streaming_write_entry(): use streaming API in write_entry()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+52
When the output to a path does not have to be converted, we can read from the object database from the streaming API and write to the file in the working tree, without having to hold everything in the memory. The ident, auto- and safe- crlf conversions inherently require you to read the whole thing before deciding what to do, so while it is technically possible to support them by using a buffer of an unbound size or rewinding and reading the stream twice, it is less practical than the traditional "read the whole thing in core and convert" approach. Adding streaming filters for the other conversions on top of this should be doable by tweaking the can_bypass_conversion() function (it should be renamed to can_filter_stream() when it happens). Then the streaming API can be extended to wrap the git_istream streaming_write_entry() opens on the underlying object in another git_istream that reads from it, filters what is read, and let the streaming_write_entry() read the filtered result. But that is outside the scope of this series. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-08-18check_path(): allow symlinked directories to checkout-index --prefixLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+8
Merlyn noticed that Documentation/install-doc-quick.sh no longer correctly removes old installed documents when the target directory has a leading path that is a symlink. It turns out that "checkout-index --prefix" was broken by recent b6986d8 (git-checkout: be careful about untracked symlinks, 2009-07-29). I suspect has_symlink_leading_path() could learn the third parameter (prefix that is allowed to be symlinked directories) to allow us to retire a similar function has_dirs_only_path(). Another avenue of fixing this I considered was to get rid of base_dir and base_dir_len from "struct checkout", and instead make "git checkout-index" when run with --prefix mkdir the leading path and chdir in there. It might be the best longer term solution to this issue, as the base_dir feature is used only by that rather obscure codepath as far as I know. But at least this patch should fix this breakage.

2009-04-20Windows: Skip fstat/lstat optimization in write_entry()Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-1/+2
Commit e4c72923 (write_entry(): use fstat() instead of lstat() when file is open, 2009-02-09) introduced an optimization of write_entry(). Unfortunately, we cannot take advantage of this optimization on Windows because there is no guarantee that the time stamps are updated before the file is closed: "The only guarantee about a file timestamp is that the file time is correctly reflected when the handle that makes the change is closed." (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724290(VS.85).aspx) The failure of this optimization on Windows can be observed most easily by running a 'git checkout' that has to update several large files. In this case, 'git checkout' will report modified files, but infact only the timestamps were incorrectly recorded in the index, as can be verified by a subsequent 'git diff', which shows no change.

2009-01-18lstat_cache(): introduce has_dirs_only_path() functionLibravatar Kjetil Barvik1-22/+12
The create_directories() function in entry.c currently calls stat() or lstat() for each path component of the pathname 'path' each and every time. For the 'git checkout' command, this function is called on each file for which we must do an update (ce->ce_flags & CE_UPDATE), so we get lots and lots of calls. To fix this, we make a new wrapper to the lstat_cache() function, and call the wrapper function instead of the calls to the stat() or the lstat() functions. Since the paths given to the create_directories() function, is sorted alphabetically, the new wrapper would be very cache effective in this situation. To support it we must update the lstat_cache() function to be able to say that "please test the complete length of 'name'", and also to give it the length of a prefix, where the cache should use the stat() function instead of the lstat() function to test each path component.

2007-07-18Do not expect unlink(2) to fail on a directory.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+30
When "git checkout-index" checks out path A/B/C, it makes sure A and A/B are truly directories; if there is a regular file or symlink at A, we prefer to remove it. We used to do this by catching an error return from mkdir(2), and on EEXIST did unlink(2), and when it succeeded, tried another mkdir(2). Thomas Glanzmann found out the above does not work on Solaris for a root user, as unlink(2) was so old fashioned there that it allowed to unlink a directory. As pointed out, this still doesn't guarantee that git won't call "unlink()" on a directory (race conditions etc), but that's fundamentally true (there is no "funlink()" like there is "fstat()"), and besides, that is in no way git-specific (ie it's true of any application that gets run as root).

There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

2007-04-14Teach "git-read-tree -u" to check out submodules as a directoryLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-13/+32
This actually allows us to check out a supermodule after cloning, although the submodules themselves will obviously not be checked out, and will just be empty directories. Checking out the submodules will be up to higher levels - we may not even want to! Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
