We made sure that we notice the user-supplied GIT_DIR is actually a gitfile, but did not do the same when the default ".git" is a gitfile. * nd/git-dir-pointing-at-gitfile: Make setup_git_env() resolve .git file when $GIT_DIR is not specified
2013-09-03Make setup_git_env() resolve .git file when $GIT_DIR is not specifiedLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-5/+4
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>

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.

2013-03-08environment: add GIT_PREFIX to local_repo_envLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
The GIT_PREFIX variable is set based on our location within the working tree. It should therefore be cleared whenever GIT_WORK_TREE is cleared. In practice, this doesn't cause any bugs, because none of the sub-programs we invoke with local_repo_env cleared actually care about GIT_PREFIX. But this is the right thing to do, and future proofs us against that assumption changing. While we're at it, let's define a GIT_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT macro; this avoids repetition of the string literal, which can help catch any spelling mistakes in the code.

2013-03-08cache.h: drop LOCAL_REPO_ENV_SIZELibravatar Jeff King1-4/+2
We keep a static array of variables that should be cleared when invoking a sub-process on another repo. We statically size the array with the LOCAL_REPO_ENV_SIZE macro so that any readers do not have to count it themselves. As it turns out, no readers actually use the macro, and it creates a maintenance headache, as modifications to the array need to happen in two places (one to add the new element, and another to bump the size). Since it's NULL-terminated, we can just drop the size macro entirely. While we're at it, we'll clean up some comments around it, and add a new mention of it at the top of the list of environment variable macros. Even though local_repo_env is right below that list, it's easy to miss, and additions to that list should consider local_repo_env.

2013-01-22Enable minimal stat checkingLibravatar Robin Rosenberg1-0/+1
Specifically the fields uid, gid, ctime, ino and dev are set to zero by JGit. Other implementations, eg. Git in cygwin are allegedly also somewhat incompatible with Git For Windows and on *nix platforms the resolution of the timestamps may differ. Any stat checking by git will then need to check content, which may be very slow, particularly on Windows. Since mtime and size is typically enough we should allow the user to tell git to avoid checking these fields if they are set to zero in the index. This change introduces a core.checkstat config option where the the user can select to check all fields (default), or just size and the whole second part of mtime (minimal).

Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #, in their commit log message. Many tracking system recognise a token of #<bugid> form, for example. The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end users. They have a choice between - Don't do it. Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add. Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g. $ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

2012-07-08git on Mac OS and precomposed unicodeLibravatar Torsten Bögershausen1-0/+1
Mac OS X mangles file names containing unicode on file systems HFS+, VFAT or SAMBA. When a file using unicode code points outside ASCII is created on a HFS+ drive, the file name is converted into decomposed unicode and written to disk. No conversion is done if the file name is already decomposed unicode. Calling open("\xc3\x84", ...) with a precomposed "Ä" yields the same result as open("\x41\xcc\x88",...) with a decomposed "Ä". As a consequence, readdir() returns the file names in decomposed unicode, even if the user expects precomposed unicode. Unlike on HFS+, Mac OS X stores files on a VFAT drive (e.g. an USB drive) in precomposed unicode, but readdir() still returns file names in decomposed unicode. When a git repository is stored on a network share using SAMBA, file names are send over the wire and written to disk on the remote system in precomposed unicode, but Mac OS X readdir() returns decomposed unicode to be compatible with its behaviour on HFS+ and VFAT. The unicode decomposition causes many problems: - The names "git add" and other commands get from the end user may often be precomposed form (the decomposed form is not easily input from the keyboard), but when the commands read from the filesystem to see what it is going to update the index with already is on the filesystem, readdir() will give decomposed form, which is different. - Similarly "git log", "git mv" and all other commands that need to compare pathnames found on the command line (often but not always precomposed form; a command line input resulting from globbing may be in decomposed) with pathnames found in the tree objects (should be precomposed form to be compatible with other systems and for consistency in general). - The same for names stored in the index, which should be precomposed, that may need to be compared with the names read from readdir(). NFS mounted from Linux is fully transparent and does not suffer from the above. As Mac OS X treats precomposed and decomposed file names as equal, we can - wrap readdir() on Mac OS X to return the precomposed form, and - normalize decomposed form given from the command line also to the precomposed form, to ensure that all pathnames used in Git are always in the precomposed form. This behaviour can be requested by setting "core.precomposedunicode" configuration variable to true. The code in compat/precomposed_utf8.c implements basically 4 new functions: precomposed_utf8_opendir(), precomposed_utf8_readdir(), precomposed_utf8_closedir() and precompose_argv(). The first three are to wrap opendir(3), readdir(3), and closedir(3) functions. The argv[] conversion allows to use the TAB filename completion done by the shell on command line. It tolerates other tools which use readdir() to feed decomposed file names into git. When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone", "core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false". The user needs to activate this feature manually. She typically sets core.precomposedunicode to "true" on HFS and VFAT, or file systems mounted via SAMBA.

2012-03-19push: Provide situational hints for non-fast-forward errorsLibravatar Christopher Tiwald1-1/+1
Pushing a non-fast-forward update to a remote repository will result in an error, but the hint text doesn't provide the correct resolution in every case. Give better resolution advice in three push scenarios: 1) If you push your current branch and it triggers a non-fast-forward error, you should merge remote changes with 'git pull' before pushing again. 2) If you push to a shared repository others push to, and your local tracking branches are not kept up to date, the 'matching refs' default will generate non-fast-forward errors on outdated branches. If this is your workflow, the 'matching refs' default is not for you. Consider setting the 'push.default' configuration variable to 'current' or 'upstream' to ensure only your current branch is pushed. 3) If you explicitly specify a ref that is not your current branch or push matching branches with ':', you will generate a non-fast-forward error if any pushed branch tip is out of date. You should checkout the offending branch and merge remote changes before pushing again. Teach transport.c to recognize these scenarios and configure push.c to hint for them. If 'git push's default behavior changes or we discover more scenarios, extension is easy. Standardize on the advice API and add three new advice variables, 'pushNonFFCurrent', 'pushNonFFDefault', and 'pushNonFFMatching'. Setting any of these to 'false' will disable their affiliated advice. Setting 'pushNonFastForward' to false will disable all three, thus preserving the config option for users who already set it, but guaranteeing new users won't disable push advice accidentally.

2011-10-06attr: read core.attributesfile from git_default_core_configLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
This code calls git_config from a helper function to parse the config entry it is interested in. Calling git_config in this way may cause a problem if the helper function can be called after a previous call to git_config by another function since the second call to git_config may reset some variable to the value in the config file which was previously overridden. The above is not a problem in this case since the function passed to git_config only parses one config entry and the variable it sets is not assigned outside of the parsing function. But a programmer who desires all of the standard config options to be parsed may be tempted to modify git_attr_config() so that it falls back to git_default_config() and then it _would_ be vulnerable to the above described behavior. So, move the call to git_config up into the top-level cmd_* function and move the responsibility for parsing core.attributesfile into the main config file parser.

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.

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.

2011-03-11Make 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>

2010-12-22Remove all logic from get_git_work_tree()Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-24/+8
This logic is now only used by cmd_init_db(). setup_* functions do not rely on it any more. Move all the logic to cmd_init_db() and turn get_git_work_tree() into a simple function. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-12-22setup: limit get_git_work_tree()'s to explicit setup case onlyLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+8
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).

2010-11-10wrapper: move odb_* to environment.cLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+37
The odb_mkstemp and odb_pack_keep functions open files under the $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY directory. This requires access to the git configuration which very simple programs do not need. Move these functions to environment.o, closer to their dependencies. This should make it easier for programs to link to wrapper.o without linking to environment.o.

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.
