2007-04-20Don't repack existing objects in fast-importLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+8
Some users of fast-import have been trying to use it to rewrite commits and trees, an activity where the all of the relevant blobs are already available from the existing packfiles. In such a case we don't want to repack a blob, even if the frontend application has supplied us the raw data rather than a mark or a SHA-1 name. I'm intentionally only checking the packfiles that existed when fast-import started and am always ignoring all loose object files. We ignore loose objects because fast-import tends to operate on a very large number of objects in a very short timespan, and it is usually creating new objects, not reusing existing ones. In such a situtation the majority of the objects will not be found in the existing packfiles, nor will they be loose object files. If the frontend application really wants us to look at loose object files, then they can just repack the repository before running fast-import. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

2007-03-12fast-import: grow tree storage more aggressivelyLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
When building up a tree for a commit, fast-import dynamically allocates memory for the tree entries. When more space is needed, the allocated memory is increased by a constant amount. For very large trees, this means re-allocating and memcpy()ing the memory O(n) times. To compound this problem, releasing the previous tree resource does not free the memory; it is kept in a pool for future trees. This means that each of the O(n) allocations will consume increasing amounts of memory, giving O(n^2) memory consumption. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-03-07Use atomic updates to the fast-import mark fileLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-9/+26
When we allow fast-import frontends to reload a mark file from a prior session we want to let them use the same file as they exported the marks to. This makes it very simple for the frontend to save state across incremental imports. But we don't want to lose the old marks table if anything goes wrong while writing our current marks table. So instead of truncating and overwriting the path specified to --export-marks we use the standard lockfile code to write the current marks out to a temporary file, then rename it over the old marks table.

2007-03-07Preallocate memory earlier in fast-importLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-8/+6
I'm about to teach fast-import how to reload the marks file created by a prior session. The general approach that I want to use is to immediately parse the marks file when the specific argument is found in argv, thereby allowing the caller to supply multiple marks files, as the mark space can be sparsely populated. To make that work out we need to allocate our object tables before we parse the command line options. Since none of these tables depend on the command line options, we can easily relocate them.

Not all platforms have declared 'unsigned long' to be a 64 bit value, but we want to support a 64 bit packfile (or close enough anyway) in the near future as some projects are getting large enough that their packed size exceeds 4 GiB.

We shouldn't attempt to assign constant strings into char*, as the string is not writable at runtime. Likewise we should always be treating unsigned values as unsigned values, not as signed values. Most of these are very straightforward. The only exception is the (unnecessary) xstrdup/free in builtin-branch.c for the detached head case. Since this is a user-level interactive type program and that particular code path is executed no more than once, I feel that the extra xstrdup call is well worth the easy elimination of this warning.

2007-03-05fast-import: Fail if a non-existant commit is used for mergeLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+8
Johannes Sixt noticed during one of his own imports that fast-import did not fail if a non-existant commit is referenced by SHA-1 value as an argument to the 'merge' command. This allowed the user to unknowingly create commits that would fail in fsck, as the commit contents would not be completely reachable. A side effect of this bug was that a frontend process could mark any SHA-1 object (blob, tree, tag) as a parent of a merge commit. This should also fail in fsck, as the commit is not a valid commit. We now use the same rule as the 'from' command. If a commit is referenced in the 'merge' command by hex formatted SHA-1 then the SHA-1 must be a commit or a tag that can be peeled back to a commit, the commit must already exist, and must be readable by the core Git infrastructure code. This requirement means that the commit must have existed prior to fast-import starting, or the commit must have been flushed out by a prior 'checkpoint' command. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-03-05fast-import: Avoid infinite loop after resetLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-5/+11
Johannes Sixt noticed that a 'reset' command applied to a branch that is already active in the branch LRU cache can cause fast-import to relink the same branch into the LRU cache twice. This will cause the LRU cache to contain a cycle, making unload_one_branch run in an infinite loop as it tries to select the oldest branch for eviction. I have trivially fixed the problem by adding an active bit to each branch object; this bit indicates if the branch is already in the LRU and allows us to avoid trying to add it a second time. Converting the pack_id field into a bitfield makes this change take up no additional memory. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

One of them is obviously redundent, and the most used one requires more stack space and a bunch of strcmp() all over the place.

2007-02-12fast-import: Support reusing 'from' and brown paper bag fix reset.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-3/+7
It was suggested on the mailing list that being able to use `from` in any commit to reset the current branch is useful in some types of importers, such as a darcs importer. We originally did not permit resetting an existing branch with a new `from` command during a `commit` command, but this restriction was only to help debug the hacked up cvs2svn that Jon Smirl was developing in parallel with git-fast-import. It is probably more of a problem to disallow it than to allow it. So now we permit a `from` during any `commit`. While making the changes required to permit multiple `from` commands on the same branch, I discovered we no longer needed the last_commit field to be set to 0 during a reset, so that was removed. (Reset was originally setting the field to 0 to signal cmd_from() that it was OK to execute on the branch.) While poking around in this section of fast-import I also realized the `reset` command was not working as intended if the corresponding `from` command was omitted (as allowed by the BNF grammar and the code). If `from` was omitted we cleared out the tree but we left the tree SHA-1 and parent commit SHA-1 intact. This is not what the user intended in this case. Instead they would be trying to reset the branch to have no parent and to have no tree, making the branch look new-born during the next commit. We now clear these SHA-1 values during `reset`, ensuring the branch looks new-born if `from` does not get supplied. New test cases for these were also added. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Most users don't need the pack boundary information that fast-import was printing to standard output, especially if they were calling it with --quiet. Those users who do want this information probably want it captured so they can go back and use it to repack the imported repository.

2007-02-07Dump all refs and marks during a checkpoint in fast-import.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-4/+8
If the frontend asks us to checkpoint (via the explicit checkpoint command) its probably because they are afraid the current import will crash/fail/whatever and want to make sure they can pickup from the last checkpoint.

Often users will be running fast-import from within a larger frontend process, and this may be a frequent periodic tool such as a future edition of `git-svn fetch`.

2007-02-07Teach fast-import how to clear the internal branch content.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+12
Some frontends may not be able to (easily) keep track of which files are included in the branch, and which aren't. Performing this tracking can be tedious and error prone for the frontend to do, especially if its foreign data source cannot supply the changed path list on a per-commit basis. fast-import now allows a frontend to request that a branch's tree be wiped clean (reset to the empty tree) at the start of a commit, allowing the frontend to feed in all paths which belong on the branch. This is ideal for a tar-file importer frontend, for example, as the frontend just needs to reformat the tar data stream into a gfi data stream, which may be something a few Perl regexps can take care of. :) Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-02-06Don't do non-fastforward updates in fast-import.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-12/+46
If fast-import is being used to update an existing branch of a repository, the user may not want to lose commits if another process updates the same ref at the same time. For example, the user might be using fast-import to make just one or two commits against a live branch. We now perform a fast-forward check during the ref updating process. If updating a branch would cause commits in that branch to be lost, we skip over it and display the new SHA1 to standard error. This new default behavior can be overridden with `--force`, like git-push and git-fetch. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-02-06Support RFC 2822 date parsing in fast-import.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-14/+93
Since some frontends may be working with source material where the dates are only readily available as RFC 2822 strings, it is more friendly if fast-import exposes Git's parse_date() function to handle the conversion. This way the frontend doesn't need to perform the parsing itself. The new --date-format option to fast-import can be used by a frontend to select which format it will supply date strings in. The default is the standard `raw` Git format, which fast-import has always supported. Format rfc2822 can be used to activate the parse_date() function instead. Because fast-import could also be useful for creating new, current commits, the format `now` is also supported to generate the current system timestamp. The implementation of `now` is a trivial call to datestamp(), but is actually a whole whopping 3 lines so that fast-import can verify the frontend really meant `now`. As part of this change I have added validation of the `raw` date format. Prior to this change fast-import would accept anything in a `committer` command, even if it was seriously malformed. Now fast-import requires the '> ' near the end of the string and verifies the timestamp is formatted properly. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

2007-02-05Don't support shell-quoted refnames in fast-import.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-62/+5
The current implementation of shell-style quoted refnames and SHA-1 expressions within fast-import contains a bad memory leak. We leak the unquoted strings used by the `from` and `merge` commands, maybe others. Its also just muddling up the docs. Since Git refnames cannot contain LF, and that is our delimiter for the end of the refname, and we accept any other character as-is, there is no reason for these strings to support quoting, except to be nice to frontends. But frontends shouldn't be expecting to use funny refs in Git, and its just as simple to never quote them as it is to always pass them through the same quoting filter as pathnames. So frontends should never quote refs, or ref expressions. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-02-05Reduce memory usage of fast-import.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-12/+12
Some structs are allocated rather frequently, but were using integer types which were far larger than required to actually store their full value range. As packfiles are limited to 4 GiB we don't need more than 32 bits to store the offset of an object within that packfile, an `unsigned long` on a 64 bit system is likely a 64 bit unsigned value. Saving 4 bytes per object on a 64 bit system can add up fast on any sizable import. As atom strings are strictly single components in a path name these are probably limited to just 255 bytes by the underlying OS. Going to that short of a string is probably too restrictive, but certainly `unsigned int` is far too large for their lengths. `unsigned short` is a reasonable limit. Modes within a tree really only need two bytes to store their whole value; using `unsigned int` here is vast overkill. Saving 4 bytes per file entry in an active branch can add up quickly on a project with a large number of files. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

2007-01-18Accept 'inline' file data in fast-import commit structure.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-6/+23
Its very annoying to need to specify the file content ahead of a commit and use marks to connect the individual blobs to the commit's file modification entry, especially if the frontend can't/won't generate the blob SHA1s itself. Instead it would much easier to use if we can accept the blob data at the same time as we receive each file_change line. Now fast-import accepts 'inline' instead of a mark idnum or blob SHA1 within the 'M' type file_change command. If an inline is detected the very next line must be a 'data n' command, supplying the file data. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-01-18Support delimited data regions in fast-import.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-15/+49
During testing its nice to not have to feed the length of a data chunk to the 'data' command of fast-import. Instead we would prefer to be able to establish a data chunk much like shell's << operator and use a line delimiter to denote the end of the input. So now if a data command is started as 'data <<EOF' we will look for a terminator line containing only the string EOF on that line. Once found, we stop the data command. Everything between the two lines is used as the data value. The 'data <<' syntax is slower than 'data n', as we don't know how many bytes to expect and instead must grow our buffer on the fly. It also has the problem that the frontend must use a string which will not appear on a line by itself in the input, and the data region will always end in an LF. For these reasons real import frontends are encouraged to continue to use _only_ 'data n'. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
