2017-09-06repository: free fields before overwriting themLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
It's possible that the repository data may be initialized twice (e.g., after doing a chdir() to the top of the worktree we may have to adjust a relative git_dir path). We should free() any existing fields before assigning to them to avoid leaks. This should be safe, as the fields are set based on the environment or on other strings like the gitdir or commondir. That makes it impossible that we are feeding an alias to the just-freed string. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-06-23setup: don't perform lazy initialization of repository stateLibravatar Brandon Williams1-9/+8
Under some circumstances (bogus GIT_DIR value or the discovered gitdir is '.git') 'setup_git_directory()' won't initialize key repository state. This leads to inconsistent state after running the setup code. To account for this inconsistent state, lazy initialization is done once a caller asks for the repository's gitdir or some other piece of repository state. This is confusing and can be error prone. Instead let's tighten the expected outcome of 'setup_git_directory()' and ensure that it initializes repository state in all cases that would have been handled by lazy initialization. This also lets us drop the requirement to have 'have_git_dir()' check if the environment variable GIT_DIR was set as that will be handled by the end of the setup code.

2017-04-16environment.c: fix potential segfault by get_git_common_dir()Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+2
setup_git_env() must be called before this function to initialize git_common_dir so that it returns a non NULL string. And it must return a non NULL string or segfault can happen because all callers expect so. It does not do so explicitly though and depends on get_git_dir() being called first (which will guarantee setup_git_env()). Avoid this dependency and call setup_git_env() by itself. test-ref-store.c will hit this problem because it's very lightweight, just enough initialization to exercise refs code, and get_git_dir() will never be called until get_worktrees() is, which uses get_git_common_dir and hits a segfault.

2017-03-28odb_mkstemp: use git_path_bufLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+2

2017-03-28odb_mkstemp: write filename into strbufLibravatar Jeff King1-8/+8
The odb_mkstemp() function expects the caller to provide a fixed buffer to write the resulting tempfile name into. But it creates the template using snprintf without checking the return value. This means we could silently truncate the filename. In practice, it's unlikely that the truncation would end in the template-pattern that mkstemp needs to open the file. So we'd probably end up failing either way, unless the path was specially crafted. The simplest fix would be to notice the truncation and die. However, we can observe that most callers immediately xstrdup() the result anyway. So instead, let's switch to using a strbuf, which is easier for them (and isn't a big deal for the other 2 callers, who can just strbuf_release when they're done with it). Note that many of the callers used static buffers, but this was purely to avoid putting a large buffer on the stack. We never passed the static buffers out of the function, so there's no complicated memory handling we need to change. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

2017-03-16odb_pack_keep(): stop generating keepfile nameLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+2
The odb_pack_keep() function generates the name of a .keep file and opens it. This has two problems: 1. It requires a fixed-size buffer to create the filename and doesn't notice when the result is truncated. 2. Of the two callers, one sometimes wants to open a filename it already has, which makes things awkward (it has to do so manually, and skips the leading-directory creation). Instead, let's have odb_pack_keep() just open the file. Generating the name isn't hard, and a future patch will switch callers over to odb_pack_name() anyway.

2017-03-08real_pathdup(): fix callsites that wanted it to die on errorLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
In 4ac9006f832 (real_path: have callers use real_pathdup and strbuf_realpath, 2016-12-12), we changed the xstrdup(real_path()) pattern to use real_pathdup() directly. The problem with this change is that real_path() calls strbuf_realpath() with die_on_error = 1 while real_pathdup() calls it with die_on_error = 0. Meaning that in cases where real_path() causes Git to die() with an error message, real_pathdup() is silent and returns NULL instead. The callers, however, are ill-prepared for that change, as they expect the return value to be non-NULL (and otherwise the function died with an appropriate error message). Fix this by extending real_pathdup()'s signature to accept the die_on_error flag and simply pass it through to strbuf_realpath(), and then adjust all callers after a careful audit whether they would handle NULLs well.

2017-01-31refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = alwaysLibravatar Cornelius Weig1-1/+1
When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old history immediately). However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than the performance implications of keeping the log around. This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

2016-11-15compression: unify pack.compression configuration parsingLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
There are three codepaths that use a variable whose name is pack_compression_level to affect how objects and deltas sent to a packfile is compressed. Unlike zlib_compression_level that controls the loose object compression, however, this variable was static to each of these codepaths. Two of them read the pack.compression configuration variable, using core.compression as the default, and one of them also allowed overriding it from the command line. The other codepath in bulk-checkin did not pay any attention to the configuration. Unify the configuration parsing to git_default_config(), where we implement the parsing of core.loosecompression and core.compression and make the former override the latter, by moving code to parse pack.compression and also allow core.compression to give default to this variable.

2016-10-26setup_git_env: avoid blind fall-back to ".git"Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+4
When we default to ".git" without having done any kind of repository setup, the results quite often do what the user expects. But this has also historically been the cause of some poorly behaved corner cases. These cases can be hard to find, because they happen at the conjunction of two relatively rare circumstances: 1. We are running some code which assumes there's a repository present, but there isn't necessarily one (e.g., low-level diff code triggered by "git diff --no-index" might try to look at some repository data). 2. We have an unusual setup, like being in a subdirectory of the working tree, or we have a .git file (rather than a directory), or we are running a tool like "init" or "clone" which may operate on a repository in a different directory. Our test scripts often cover (1), but miss doing (2) at the same time, and so the fallback appears to work but has lurking bugs. We can flush these bugs out by refusing to do the fallback entirely., This makes potential problems a lot more obvious by complaining even for "usual" setups. This passes the test suite (after the adjustments in the previous patches), but there's a risk of regression for any cases where the fallback usually works fine but the code isn't exercised by the test suite. So by itself, this commit is a potential step backward, but lets us take two steps forward once we've identified and fixed any such instances.

Add a super-prefix environment variable 'GIT_INTERNAL_SUPER_PREFIX' which can be used to specify a path from above a repository down to its root. When such a super-prefix is specified, the paths reported by Git are prefixed with it to make them relative to that directory "above". The paths given by the user on the command line (e.g. "git subcmd --output-file=path/to/a/file" and pathspecs) are taken relative to the directory "above" to match. The immediate use of this option is by commands which have a --recurse-submodule option in order to give context to submodules about how they were invoked. This option is currently only allowed for builtins which support a super-prefix.

2016-10-03abbrev: auto size the default abbreviationLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
In fairly early days we somehow decided to abbreviate object names down to 7-hexdigits, but as projects grow, it is becoming more and more likely to see such a short object names made in earlier days and recorded in the log messages no longer unique. Currently the Linux kernel project needs 11 to 12 hexdigits, while Git itself needs 10 hexdigits to uniquely identify the objects they have, while many smaller projects may still be fine with the original 7-hexdigit default. One-size does not fit all projects. Introduce a mechanism, where we estimate the number of objects in the repository upon the first request to abbreviate an object name with the default setting and come up with a sane default for the repository. Based on the expectation that we would see collision in a repository with 2^(2N) objects when using object names shortened to first N bits, use sufficient number of hexdigits to cover the number of objects in the repository. Each hexdigit (4-bits) we add to the shortened name allows us to have four times (2-bits) as many objects in the repository.

2016-10-03abbrev: add FALLBACK_DEFAULT_ABBREV to prepare for auto sizingLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
We'll be introducing a new way to decide the default abbreviation length by initialising DEFAULT_ABBREV to -1 to signal the first call to "find unique abbreviation" codepath to compute a reasonable value based on the number of objects we have to avoid collisions. We have long relied on DEFAULT_ABBREV being a positive concrete value that is used as the abbreviation length when no extra configuration or command line option has overridden it. Some codepaths wants to use such a positive concrete default value even before making their first request to actually trigger the computation for the auto sized default. Introduce FALLBACK_DEFAULT_ABBREV and use it to the code that attempts to align the report from "git fetch". For now, this macro is also used to initialize the default_abbrev variable, but the auto-sizing code will use -1 and then use the value of FALLBACK_DEFAULT_ABBREV as the starting point of auto-sizing.

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).

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).

2016-01-27test-dump-untracked-cache: don't modify the untracked cacheLibravatar Christian Couder1-0/+7
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.

This reverts d95138e6 (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when work tree is set, like $GIT_DIR, 2015-06-26).

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.
