There were numerous corner cases in which the configuration files are read and used or not read at all depending on the directory a Git command was run, leading to inconsistent behaviour. The code to set-up repository access at the beginning of a Git process has been updated to fix them. * jk/setup-sequence-update: t1007: factor out repeated setup init: reset cached config when entering new repo init: expand comments explaining config trickery config: only read .git/config from configured repos test-config: setup git directory t1302: use "git -C" pager: handle early config pager: use callbacks instead of configset pager: make pager_program a file-local static pager: stop loading git_default_config() pager: remove obsolete comment diff: always try to set up the repository diff: handle --no-index prefixes consistently diff: skip implicit no-index check when given --no-index patch-id: use RUN_SETUP_GENTLY hash-object: always try to set up the git repository
2016-09-13init: reset cached config when entering new repoLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+5
After we copy the templates into place, we re-read the config in case we copied in a default config file. But since git_config() is backed by a cache these days, it's possible that the call will not actually touch the filesystem at all; we need to tell it that something has changed behind the scenes. Note that we also need to reset the shared_repository config. At first glance, it seems like this should probably just be folded into git_config_clear(). But unfortunately that is not quite right. The shared repository value may come from config, _or_ it may have been set manually. So only the caller who knows whether or not they set it is the one who can clear it (and indeed, if you _do_ put it into git_config_clear(), then many tests fail, as we have to clear the config cache any time we set a new config variable). There are three tests here. The first two actually pass already, though it's largely luck: they just don't happen to actually read any config before we enter the new repo. But the third one does fail without this patch; we look at core.sharedrepository while creating the directory, but need to make sure the value from the template config overrides it.

2016-09-13config: only read .git/config from configured reposLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+7
When git_config() runs, it looks in the system, user-wide, and repo-level config files. It gets the latter by calling git_pathdup(), which in turn calls get_git_dir(). If we haven't set up the git repository yet, this may simply return ".git", and we will look at ".git/config". This seems like it would be helpful (presumably we haven't set up the repository yet, so it tries to find it), but it turns out to be a bad idea for a few reasons: - it's not sufficient, and therefore hides bugs in a confusing way. Config will be respected if commands are run from the top-level of the working tree, but not from a subdirectory. - it's not always true that we haven't set up the repository _yet_; we may not want to do it at all. For instance, if you run "git init /some/path" from inside another repository, it should not load config from the existing repository. - there might be a path ".git/config", but it is not the actual repository we would find via setup_git_directory(). This may happen, e.g., if you are storing a git repository inside another git repository, but have munged one of the files in such a way that the inner repository is not valid (e.g., by removing HEAD). We have at least two bugs of the second type in git-init, introduced by ae5f677 (lazily load core.sharedrepository, 2016-03-11). It causes init to use git_configset(), which loads all of the config, including values from the current repo (if any). This shows up in two ways: 1. If we happen to be in an existing repository directory, we'll read and respect core.sharedrepository from it, even though it should have no bearing on the new repository. A new test in t1301 covers this. 2. Similarly, if we're in an existing repo that sets core.logallrefupdates, that will cause init to fail to set it in a newly created repository (because it thinks that the user's templates already did so). A new test in t0001 covers this. We also need to adjust an existing test in t1302, which gives another example of why this patch is an improvement. That test creates an embedded repository with a bogus core.repositoryformatversion of "99". It wants to make sure that we actually stop at the bogus repo rather than continuing upward to find the outer repo. So it checks that "git config core.repositoryformatversion" returns 99. But that only works because we blindly read ".git/config", even though we _know_ we're in a repository whose vintage we do not understand. After this patch, we avoid reading config from the unknown vintage repository at all, which is a safer choice. But we need to tweak the test, since core.repositoryformatversion will not return 99; it will claim that it could not find the variable at all.

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>

2016-03-06setup: 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).

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.

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.

2014-12-01setup.c: support multi-checkout repo setupLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-5/+3
The repo setup procedure is updated to detect $GIT_DIR/commondir and set $GIT_COMMON_DIR properly. The core.worktree is ignored when $GIT_COMMON_DIR is set. This is because the config file is shared in multi-checkout setup, but checkout directories _are_ different. Making core.worktree effective in all checkouts mean it's back to a single checkout.

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(). Multi-checkouts are not supported as submodules.

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.

"Check the value of an environment and fall back to a known path inside $GIT_DIR" is repeated a few times to determine the location of the data store, the index and the graft file, but the return value of getenv is not guaranteed to survive across further invocations of setenv or even getenv. Make sure to xstrdup() the value we receive from getenv(3), and encapsulate the pattern into a helper function.

Many people are on filesystems with horrible stat latency (not limited to Windows but also NFS), which core.preloadindex was designed to help. We discussed enabling it by default early in 2013 but didn't. 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.
