2016-05-11mingw: introduce the 'core.hideDotFiles' settingLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+1
On Unix (and Linux), files and directories whose names start with a dot are usually not shown by default. This convention is used by Git: the .git/ directory should be left alone by regular users, and only accessed through Git itself. On Windows, no such convention exists. Instead, there is an explicit flag to mark files or directories as hidden. In the early days, Git for Windows did not mark the .git/ directory (or for that matter, any file or directory whose name starts with a dot) hidden. This lead to quite a bit of confusion, and even loss of data. Consequently, Git for Windows introduced the core.hideDotFiles setting, with three possible values: true, false, and dotGitOnly, defaulting to marking only the .git/ directory as hidden. The rationale: users do not need to access .git/ directly, and indeed (as was demonstrated) should not really see that directory, either. However, not all dot files should be hidden by default, as e.g. Eclipse does not show them (and the user would therefore be unable to see, say, a .gitattributes file). In over five years since the last attempt to bring this patch into core Git, a slightly buggy version of this patch has served Git for Windows' users well: no single report indicated problems with the hidden .git/ directory, and the stream of problems caused by the previously non-hidden .git/ directory simply stopped. The bugs have been fixed during the process of getting this patch upstream. Note that there is a funny quirk we have to pay attention to when creating hidden files: we use Win32's _wopen() function which transmogrifies its arguments and hands off to Win32's CreateFile() function. That latter function errors out with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (the equivalent of EACCES) when the equivalent of the O_CREAT flag was passed and the file attributes (including the hidden flag) do not match an existing file's. And _wopen() accepts no parameter that would be transmogrified into said hidden flag. Therefore, we simply try again without O_CREAT. A slightly different method is required for our fopen()/freopen() function as we cannot even *remove* the implicit O_CREAT flag. Therefore, we briefly mark existing files as unhidden when opening them via fopen()/freopen(). The ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error can also be triggered by opening a file that is marked as a system file (which is unlikely to be tracked in Git), and by trying to create a file that has *just* been deleted and is awaiting the last open handles to be released (which would be handled better by the "Try again?" logic, a story for a different patch series, though). In both cases, it does not matter much if we try again without the O_CREAT flag, read: it does not hurt, either.

2016-05-04hooks: allow customizing where the hook directory isLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+1
Change the hardcoded lookup for .git/hooks/* to optionally lookup in $(git config core.hooksPath)/* instead. This is essentially a more intrusive version of the git-init ability to specify hooks on init time via init templates. The difference between that facility and this feature is that this can be set up after the fact via e.g. ~/.gitconfig or /etc/gitconfig to apply for all your personal repositories, or all repositories on the system. I plan on using this on a centralized Git server where users can create arbitrary repositories under /gitroot, but I'd like to manage all the hooks that should be run centrally via a unified dispatch mechanism.

2016-03-11lazily load core.sharedrepositoryLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+9
The "shared_repository" config is loaded as part of check_repository_format_version, but it's not quite like the other values we check there. Something like core.repositoryformatversion only makes sense in per-repo config, but core.sharedrepository can be set in a per-user config (e.g., to make all "git init" invocations shared by default). So it would make more sense as part of git_default_config. Commit 457f06d (Introduce core.sharedrepository, 2005-12-22) says: [...]the config variable is set in the function which checks the repository format. If this were done in git_default_config instead, a lot of programs would need to be modified to call git_config(git_default_config) first. This is still the case today, but we have one extra trick up our sleeve. Now that we have the git_configset infrastructure, it's not so expensive for us to ask for a single value. So we can simply lazy-load it on demand. This should be OK to do in general. There are some problems with loading config before setup_git_directory() is called, but we shouldn't be accessing the value before then (if we were, then it would already be broken, as the variable would not have been set by check_repository_format_version!). The trickiest caller is git-init, but it handles the values manually itself. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-03-11wrap shared_repository global in get/set accessorsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+12
It would be useful to control access to the global shared_repository, so that we can lazily load its config. The first step to doing so is to make sure all access goes through a set of functions. This step is purely mechanical, and should result in no change of behavior. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-03-06setup: make startup_info available everywhereLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+0
Commit a60645f (setup: remember whether repository was found, 2010-08-05) introduced the startup_info structure, which records some parts of the setup_git_directory() process (notably, whether we actually found a repository or not). One of the uses of this data is for functions to behave appropriately based on whether we are in a repo. But the startup_info struct is just a pointer to storage provided by the main program, and the only program that sets it up is the git.c wrapper. Thus builtins have access to startup_info, but externally linked programs do not. Worse, library code which is accessible from both has to be careful about accessing startup_info. This can be used to trigger a die("BUG") via get_sha1(): $ git fast-import <<-\EOF tag foo from HEAD:./whatever EOF fatal: BUG: startup_info struct is not initialized. Obviously that's fairly nonsensical input to feed to fast-import, but we should never hit a die("BUG"). And there may be other ways to trigger it if other non-builtins resolve sha1s. So let's point the storage for startup_info to a static variable in setup.c, making it available to all users of the library code. We _could_ turn startup_info into a regular extern struct, but doing so would mean tweaking all of the existing use sites. So let's leave the pointer indirection in place. We can, however, drop any checks for NULL, as they will always be false (and likewise, we can drop the test covering this case, which was a rather artificial situation using one of the test-* programs).

To correctly perform its testing function, test-dump-untracked-cache should not change the state of the untracked cache in the index. As a previous patch makes read_index_from() change the state of the untracked cache and as test-dump-untracked-cache indirectly calls this function, we need a mechanism to prevent read_index_from() from changing the untracked cache state when it's called from test-dump-untracked-cache.

2015-09-25replace trivial malloc + sprintf / strcpy calls with xstrfmtLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+2
It's a common pattern to do: foo = xmalloc(strlen(one) + strlen(two) + 1 + 1); sprintf(foo, "%s %s", one, two); (or possibly some variant with strcpy()s or a more complicated length computation). We can switch these to use xstrfmt, which is shorter, involves less error-prone manual computation, and removes many sprintf and strcpy calls which make it harder to audit the code for real buffer overflows.

Running an aliased command from a subdirectory when the .git thing in the working tree is a gitfile pointing elsewhere did not work. * nd/export-worktree: setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when work tree is set, like $GIT_DIR
2015-06-26setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when work tree is set, like $GIT_DIRLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+2
In the test case, we run setup_git_dir_gently() the first time to read $GIT_DIR/config so that we can resolve aliases. We'll enter setup_discovered_git_dir() and may or may not call set_git_dir() near the end of the function, depending on whether the detected git dir is ".git" or not. This set_git_dir() will set env var $GIT_DIR. For normal repo, git dir detected via setup_discovered_git_dir() will be ".git", and set_git_dir() is not called. If .git file is used however, the git dir can't be ".git" and set_git_dir() is called and $GIT_DIR set. This is the key of this problem. If we expand an alias (or autocorrect command names), then setup_git_dir_gently() is run the second time. If $GIT_DIR is not set in the first run, we run the same setup_discovered_git_dir() as before. Nothing to see. If it is, however, we'll enter setup_explicit_git_dir() this time. This is where the "fun" is. If $GIT_WORK_TREE is not set but $GIT_DIR is, you are supposed to be at the root level of the worktree. But if you are in a subdir "foo/bar" (real worktree's top is "foo"), this rule bites you: your detected worktree is now "foo/bar", even though the first run correctly detected worktree as "foo". You get "internal error: work tree has already been set" as a result. Bottom line is, when $GIT_DIR is set, $GIT_WORK_TREE should be set too unless there's no work tree. But setting $GIT_WORK_TREE inside set_git_dir() may backfire. We don't know at that point if work tree is already configured by the caller. So set it when work tree is detected. It does not harm if $GIT_WORK_TREE is set while $GIT_DIR is not.

2015-06-24introduce "preciousObjects" repository extensionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
If this extension is used in a repository, then no operations should run which may drop objects from the object storage. This can be useful if you are sharing that storage with other repositories whose refs you cannot see. For instance, if you do: $ git clone -s parent child $ git -C parent config extensions.preciousObjects true $ git -C parent config core.repositoryformatversion 1 you now have additional safety when running git in the parent repository. Prunes and repacks will bail with an error, and `git gc` will skip those operations (it will continue to pack refs and do other non-object operations). Older versions of git, when run in the repository, will fail on every operation. Note that we do not set the preciousObjects extension by default when doing a "clone -s", as doing so breaks backwards compatibility. It is a decision the user should make explicitly.

2015-03-20refs: introduce a "ref paranoia" flagLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
Most operations that iterate over refs are happy to ignore broken cruft. However, some operations should be performed with knowledge of these broken refs, because it is better for the operation to choke on a missing object than it is to silently pretend that the ref did not exist (e.g., if we are computing the set of reachable tips in order to prune objects). These processes could just call for_each_rawref, except that ref iteration is often hidden behind other interfaces. For instance, for a destructive "repack -ad", we would have to inform "pack-objects" that we are destructive, and then it would in turn have to tell the revision code that our "--all" should include broken refs. It's much simpler to just set a global for "dangerous" operations that includes broken refs in all iterations.

2014-12-17read-cache: optionally disallow NTFS .git variantsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+5
The point of disallowing ".git" in the index is that we would never want to accidentally overwrite files in the repository directory. But this means we need to respect the filesystem's idea of when two paths are equal. The prior commit added a helper to make such a comparison for NTFS and FAT32; let's use it in verify_path(). We make this check optional for two reasons: 1. It restricts the set of allowable filenames, which is unnecessary for people who are not on NTFS nor FAT32. In practice this probably doesn't matter, though, as the restricted names are rather obscure and almost certainly would never come up in practice. 2. It has a minor performance penalty for every path we insert into the index. This patch ties the check to the core.protectNTFS config option. Though this is expected to be most useful on Windows, we allow it to be set everywhere, as NTFS may be mounted on other platforms. The variable does default to on for Windows, though.

2014-12-01$GIT_COMMON_DIR: a new environment variableLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-7/+22
This variable is intended to support multiple working directories attached to a repository. Such a repository may have a main working directory, created by either "git init" or "git clone" and one or more linked working directories. These working directories and the main repository share the same repository directory. In linked working directories, $GIT_COMMON_DIR must be defined to point to the real repository directory and $GIT_DIR points to an unused subdirectory inside $GIT_COMMON_DIR. File locations inside the repository are reorganized from the linked worktree view point: - worktree-specific such as HEAD, logs/HEAD, index, other top-level refs and unrecognized files are from $GIT_DIR. - the rest like objects, refs, info, hooks, packed-refs, shallow... are from $GIT_COMMON_DIR (except info/sparse-checkout, but that's a separate patch) Scripts are supposed to retrieve paths in $GIT_DIR with "git rev-parse --git-path", which will take care of "$GIT_DIR vs $GIT_COMMON_DIR" business. The redirection is done by git_path(), git_pathdup() and strbuf_git_path(). The selected list of paths goes to $GIT_COMMON_DIR, not the other way around in case a developer adds a new worktree-specific file and it's accidentally promoted to be shared across repositories (this includes unknown files added by third party commands) The list of known files that belong to $GIT_DIR are: ADD_EDIT.patch BISECT_ANCESTORS_OK BISECT_EXPECTED_REV BISECT_LOG BISECT_NAMES CHERRY_PICK_HEAD COMMIT_MSG FETCH_HEAD HEAD MERGE_HEAD MERGE_MODE MERGE_RR NOTES_EDITMSG NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE ORIG_HEAD REVERT_HEAD SQUASH_MSG TAG_EDITMSG fast_import_crash_* logs/HEAD next-index-* rebase-apply rebase-merge rsync-refs-* sequencer/* shallow_* Path mapping is NOT done for git_path_submodule().

2014-12-01git_path(): be aware of file relocation in $GIT_DIRLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-5/+14
We allow the user to relocate certain paths out of $GIT_DIR via environment variables, e.g. GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY, GIT_INDEX_FILE and GIT_GRAFT_FILE. Callers are not supposed to use git_path() or git_pathdup() to get those paths. Instead they must use get_object_directory(), get_index_file() and get_graft_file() respectively. This is inconvenient and could be missed in review (for example, there's git_path("objects/info/alternates") somewhere in sha1_file.c). This patch makes git_path() and git_pathdup() understand those environment variables. So if you set GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY to /foo/bar, git_path("objects/abc") should return /foo/bar/abc. The same is done for the two remaining env variables. "git rev-parse --git-path" is the wrapper for script use. This patch kinda reverts a0279e1 (setup_git_env: use git_pathdup instead of xmalloc + sprintf - 2014-06-19) because using git_pathdup here would result in infinite recursion: setup_git_env() -> git_pathdup("objects") -> .. -> adjust_git_path() -> get_object_directory() -> oops, git_object_directory is NOT set yet -> setup_git_env() I wanted to make git_pathdup_literal() that skips adjust_git_path(). But that won't work because later on when $GIT_COMMON_DIR is introduced, git_pathdup_literal("objects") needs adjust_git_path() to replace $GIT_DIR with $GIT_COMMON_DIR.

Per http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/219273/focus=219322 let's enable the setting by default, with the original choice of max 20 threads / min 500 paths per thread parameters.

2014-05-19commit: allow core.commentChar=auto for character auto selectionLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+1
When core.commentChar is "auto", the comment char starts with '#' as in default but if it's already in the prepared message, find another char in a small subset. This should stop surprises because git strips some lines unexpectedly. Note that git is not smart enough to recognize '#' as the comment char in custom templates and convert it if the final comment char is different. It thinks '#' lines in custom templates as part of the commit message. So don't use this with custom templates.

This may be needed when a hook is run after a new shallow pack is received, but .git/shallow is not settled yet. A temporary shallow file to plug all loose ends should be used instead. GIT_SHALLOW_FILE is overriden by --shallow-file. --shallow-file does not work in this case because the hook may spawn many git subprocesses and the launch commands do not have --shallow-file as it's a recent addition.

This makes reinitializing on a .git file repository work. This is probably the only case that setup_git_env() (via set_git_dir()) is called on a .git file. Other cases in setup_git_dir_gently() and enter_repo() both cover .git file case explicitly because they need to verify the target repo is valid.

If somebody wants to only know on-disk footprint of an object without having to know its type or payload size, we can bypass a lot of code to cheaply learn it. * jk/cat-file-batch-optim: Fix some sparse warnings sha1_object_info_extended: pass object_info to helpers sha1_object_info_extended: make type calculation optional packed_object_info: make type lookup optional packed_object_info: hoist delta type resolution to helper sha1_loose_object_info: make type lookup optional sha1_object_info_extended: rename "status" to "type" cat-file: disable object/refname ambiguity check for batch mode
2013-07-12cat-file: disable object/refname ambiguity check for batch modeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
A common use of "cat-file --batch-check" is to feed a list of objects from "rev-list --objects" or a similar command. In this instance, all of our input objects are 40-byte sha1 ids. However, cat-file has always allowed arbitrary revision specifiers, and feeds the result to get_sha1(). Fortunately, get_sha1() recognizes a 40-byte sha1 before doing any hard work trying to look up refs, meaning this scenario should end up spending very little time converting the input into an object sha1. However, since 798c35f (get_sha1: warn about full or short object names that look like refs, 2013-05-29), when we encounter this case, we spend the extra effort to do a refname lookup anyway, just to print a warning. This is further exacerbated by ca91993 (get_packed_ref_cache: reload packed-refs file when it changes, 2013-06-20), which makes individual ref lookup more expensive by requiring a stat() of the packed-refs file for each missing ref. With no patches, this is the time it takes to run: $ git rev-list --objects --all >objects $ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname)' <objects on the linux.git repository: real 1m13.494s user 0m25.924s sys 0m47.532s If we revert ca91993, the packed-refs up-to-date check, it gets a little better: real 0m54.697s user 0m21.692s sys 0m32.916s but we are still spending quite a bit of time on ref lookup (and we would not want to revert that patch, anyway, which has correctness issues). If we revert 798c35f, disabling the warning entirely, we get a much more reasonable time: real 0m7.452s user 0m6.836s sys 0m0.608s This patch does the moral equivalent of this final case (and gets similar speedups). We introduce a global flag that callers of get_sha1() can use to avoid paying the price for the warning. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

5f44324 (core: log offset pack data accesses happened - 2011-07-06) provides a way to observe pack access patterns via a config switch.

2013-03-25Merge branch 'jk/alias-in-bare'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+4
An aliased command spawned from a bare repository that does not say it is bare with "core.bare = yes" is treated as non-bare by mistake. * jk/alias-in-bare: setup: suppress implicit "." work-tree for bare repos environment: add GIT_PREFIX to local_repo_env cache.h: drop LOCAL_REPO_ENV_SIZE
2013-03-08setup: suppress implicit "." work-tree for bare reposLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
If an explicit GIT_DIR is given without a working tree, we implicitly assume that the current working directory should be used as the working tree. E.g.,: GIT_DIR=/some/repo.git git status would compare against the cwd. Unfortunately, we fool this rule for sub-invocations of git by setting GIT_DIR internally ourselves. For example: git init foo cd foo/.git git status ;# fails, as we expect git config alias.st status git status ;# does not fail, but should What happens is that we run setup_git_directory when doing alias lookup (since we need to see the config), set GIT_DIR as a result, and then leave GIT_WORK_TREE blank (because we do not have one). Then when we actually run the status command, we do setup_git_directory again, which sees our explicit GIT_DIR and uses the cwd as an implicit worktree. It's tempting to argue that we should be suppressing that second invocation of setup_git_directory, as it could use the values we already found in memory. However, the problem still exists for sub-processes (e.g., if "git status" were an external command). You can see another example with the "--bare" option, which sets GIT_DIR explicitly. For example: git init foo cd foo/.git git status ;# fails git --bare status ;# does NOT fail We need some way of telling sub-processes "even though GIT_DIR is set, do not use cwd as an implicit working tree". We could do it by putting a special token into GIT_WORK_TREE, but the obvious choice (an empty string) has some portability problems. Instead, we add a new boolean variable, GIT_IMPLICIT_WORK_TREE, which suppresses the use of cwd as a working tree when GIT_DIR is set. We trigger the new variable when we know we are in a bare setting. The variable is left intentionally undocumented, as this is an internal detail (for now, anyway). If somebody comes up with a good alternate use for it, and once we are confident we have shaken any bugs out of it, we can consider promoting it further.
