2011-07-06core: log offset pack data accesses happenedLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
In a workload other than "git log" (without pathspec nor any option that causes us to inspect trees and blobs), the recency pack order is said to cause the access jump around quite a bit. Add a hook to allow us observe how bad it is. "git config core.logpackaccess /var/tmp/pal.txt" will give you the log in the specified file. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-07-06ref namespaces: infrastructureLibravatar Josh Triplett1-0/+41
Add support for dividing the refs of a single repository into multiple namespaces, each of which can have its own branches, tags, and HEAD. Git can expose each namespace as an independent repository to pull from and push to, while sharing the object store, and exposing all the refs to operations such as git-gc. Storing multiple repositories as namespaces of a single repository avoids storing duplicate copies of the same objects, such as when storing multiple branches of the same source. The alternates mechanism provides similar support for avoiding duplicates, but alternates do not prevent duplication between new objects added to the repositories without ongoing maintenance, while namespaces do. To specify a namespace, set the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable to the namespace. For each ref namespace, git stores the corresponding refs in a directory under refs/namespaces/. For example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/. You can also specify namespaces via the --namespace option to git. Note that namespaces which include a / will expand to a hierarchy of namespaces; for example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/. This makes paths in GIT_NAMESPACE behave hierarchically, so that cloning with GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar produces the same result as cloning with GIT_NAMESPACE=foo and cloning from that repo with GIT_NAMESPACE=bar. It also avoids ambiguity with strange namespace paths such as foo/refs/heads/, which could otherwise generate directory/file conflicts within the refs directory. Add the infrastructure for ref namespaces: handle the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable and --namespace option, and support iterating over refs in a namespace.

2011-05-15inline lookup_replace_object() callsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
In a repository without object replacement, lookup_replace_object() should be a no-op. Check the flag "read_replace_refs" on the side of the caller, and bypess a function call when we know we are not dealing with replacement. Also, even when we are set up to replace objects, if we do not find any replacement defined, flip that flag off to avoid function call overhead for all the later object accesses. As this change the semantics of the flag from "do we need read the replacement definition?" to "do we need to check with the lookup table?" the flag needs to be renamed later to something saner, e.g. "use_replace", when the codebase is calmer, but not now.

2011-05-09convert: rename the "eol" global variable to "core_eol"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Yes, it is clear that "eol" wants to mean some sort of end-of-line thing, but as the name of a global variable, it is way too short to describe what kind of end-of-line thing it wants to represent. Besides, there are many codepaths that want to use their own local "char *eol" variable to point at the end of the current line they are processing. This global variable holds what we read from core.eol configuration variable. Name it as such. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-03-11Make the default abbrev length configurableLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+1
The default of 7 comes from fairly early in git development, when seven hex digits was a lot (it covers about 250+ million hash values). Back then I thought that 65k revisions was a lot (it was what we were about to hit in BK), and each revision tends to be about 5-10 new objects or so, so a million objects was a big number. These days, the kernel isn't even the largest git project, and even the kernel has about 220k revisions (_much_ bigger than the BK tree ever was) and we are approaching two million objects. At that point, seven hex digits is still unique for a lot of them, but when we're talking about just two orders of magnitude difference between number of objects and the hash size, there _will_ be collisions in truncated hash values. It's no longer even close to unrealistic - it happens all the time. We should both increase the default abbrev that was unrealistically small, _and_ add a way for people to set their own default per-project in the git config file. This is the first step to first make it configurable; the default of 7 is not raised yet. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

get_git_work_tree() takes input as core.worktree, core.bare, GIT_WORK_TREE and decides correct worktree setting. Unfortunately it does not do its job well. core.worktree and GIT_WORK_TREE should only be taken into account, if GIT_DIR is set (which is handled by setup_explicit_git_dir). For other setup cases, only core.bare matters. Add a temporary variable setup_explicit to adjust get_git_work_tree() behavior as such. This variable will be gone once setup_* rework is done. Also remove is_bare_repository_cfg check in set_git_work_tree() to ease the rework. We are going to check for core.bare and core.worktree early before setting worktree. For example, if core.bare is true, no need to set worktree. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-11-12setup: make sure git_dir path is in a permanent buffer, getenv(3) caseLibravatar Kirill Smelkov1-0/+1
getenv(3) returns not-permanent buffer which may be changed by e.g. putenv(3) call (*). In practice I've noticed this when trying to do `git commit -m abc` inside msysgit under wine, getting $ git commit -m abc fatal: could not open 'DIR=.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG': No such file or directory ^^^^ (notice introduced 'DIR=' artifact.) The problem was showing itself only with -m option, and actually, as debugging showed, originally git_dir = getenv("GIT_DIR") returned pointer to "GIT_DIR=.git\0" ^ git_dir , we stored it in git_dir, than, after processing -m git-commit option, we did setenv("GIT_EDITOR", ":") which as (*) says changed environment variables memory layout - something like this "...\0GIT_DIR=.git\0" ^ git_dir and oops - we got wrong git_dir. Avoid that by strdupping getenv("GIT_DIR") result like we did in 06f354 (setup: make sure git dir path is in a permanent buffer). Unfortunately this also shows that other getenv usage inside git needs auditing... (*) from man 3 getenv: The implementation of getenv() is not required to be reentrant. The string pointed to by the return value of getenv() may be statically allocated, and can be modified by a subsequent call to getenv(), putenv(3), setenv(3), or unsetenv(3).

2010-10-28core.abbrevguard: Ensure short object names stay unique a bit longerLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
Even though git makes sure that it uses enough hexdigits to show an abbreviated object name unambiguously, as more objects are added to the repository over time, a short name that used to be unique will stop being unique. Git uses this many extra hexdigits that are more than necessary to make the object name currently unique, in the hope that its output will stay unique a bit longer.

2010-10-03setup: make sure git dir path is in a permanent bufferLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+3
If setup_git_env() is run before the usual repository discovery sequence and .git is a file with the text gitdir: <path> (with <path> any string) then the in-core git_dir variable is set to the result of converting <path> to an absolute path using make_absolute_path(). Unfortunately make_absolute_path() returns its result in a static buffer that is overwritten by later calls. Such a call could cause later accesses to git_dir (from git_pathdup(), for example) to read the wrong path, leaving git very confused. It is not obvious whether any existing code in git will trigger the problem, but in any case, it is worth a few dozen bytes to copy the return value from make_absolute_path() for some added peace of mind.

2010-08-11git wrapper: introduce startup_info structLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+1
The startup_info struct will collect information managed by the git setup code, such as the prefix for relative paths passed on the command line (i.e., path to the starting cwd from the toplevel of the work tree) and whether a git repository has been found. In other words, startup_info is intended to be a collection of global variables with results that were previously returned from setup functions. This state is global anyway (since the cwd is), even if it is not currently tracked that way. Letting these values persist means there is more flexibility in deciding when to run setup. For now, the struct is empty.

Add a new setting for "crlf": "auto", which enables end-of-line conversion but does not override the automatic text file detection. Add a new attribute "eol" with possible values "crlf" and "lf". When set, this attribute enables normalization and forces git to use CRLF or LF line endings in the working directory, respectively. The line ending style to be used for normalized text files in the working directory is set using "core.autocrlf". When it is set to "true", CRLFs are used in the working directory; when set to "input" or "false", LFs are used.

Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit message. These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF. The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1). The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes, maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

When you have grafts that pretend that a given commit has different parents than the ones recorded in the commit object, it is dangerous to let 'git repack' remove those hidden parents, as you can easily remove the graft and end up with a broken repository. So let's play it safe and keep those parent objects and everything that is reachable by them, in addition to the grafted parents. As this behavior can only be triggered by git pack-objects, and as that command handles duplicate parents gracefully, we do not bother to cull duplicated parents that may result by using both true and grafted parents.

It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC) has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away, the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs. It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly. As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work around it in Git.

2009-03-17New config push.default to decide default behavior for pushLibravatar Finn Arne Gangstad1-0/+1
When "git push" is not told what refspecs to push, it pushes all matching branches to the current remote. For some workflows this default is not useful, and surprises new users. Some have even found that this default behaviour is too easy to trigger by accident with unwanted consequences. Introduce a new configuration variable "push.default" that decides what action git push should take if no refspecs are given or implied by the command line arguments or the current remote configuration. Possible values are: 'nothing' : Push nothing; 'matching' : Current default behaviour, push all branches that already exist in the current remote; 'tracking' : Push the current branch to whatever it is tracking; 'current' : Push the current branch to a branch of the same name, i.e. HEAD.

2008-12-21Introduce commit notesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+1
Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit message. These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF. The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1). The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes, maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

2008-11-14Add cache preload facilityLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+3
This can do the lstat() storm in parallel, giving potentially much improved performance for cold-cache cases or things like NFS that have weak metadata caching. Just use "read_cache_preload()" instead of "read_cache()" to force an optimistic preload of the index stat data. The function takes a pathspec as its argument, allowing us to preload only the relevant portion of the index.
