2008-12-15fast-import: close pack before unlinking itLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+3
This is sort of a companion patch to 4723ee9(Close files opened by lock_file() before unlinking.): on Windows, you cannot delete what is still open. This makes test 9300-fast-import pass on Windows for me; quite a few fast-imports leave temporary packs until the test "blank lines not necessary after other commands" actually tests for the number of files in .git/objects/pack/, which has a few temporary packs now. I guess that 8b4eb6b(Do not perform cross-directory renames when creating packs) was "responsible" for the breakage.

Currently fast-import/export cannot be used for repositories with submodules. This patch extends the relevant programs to make them correctly process gitlinks. Links can be represented by two forms of the Modify command: M 160000 SHA1 some/path which sets the link target explicitly, or M 160000 :mark some/path where the mark refers to a commit. The latter form can be used by importing tools to build all submodules simultaneously in one physical repository, and then simply fetch them apart.

2008-03-16fast-import: Allow "reset" to delete a new branch without errorLibravatar Eyvind Bernhardsen1-0/+2
Creating a branch in fast-import and then resetting it without making any further commits to it currently causes an error message at the end of the import. This error is triggered by cvs2svn's git backend, which uses a temporary fixup branch when it creates tags, because the fixup branch is reset after each tag.

2008-03-08Really make the LF after reset in fast-import optionalLibravatar Adeodato Simó1-1/+2
cmd_from() ends with a call to read_next_command(), which is needed when using cmd_from() from commands where from is not the last element. With reset, however, "from" is the last command, after which the flow returns to the main loop, which calls read_next_command() again. Because of this, always set unread_command_buf in cmd_reset_branch(), even if cmd_from() was successful. Add a test case for this in t9300-fast-import.sh.

2008-02-16Finish current packfile during fast-import crash handlerLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+7
If fast-import is in the middle of crashing due to a protocol error or something like that then it can be very useful to have the mark table and all objects up until that point be available for a new import to resume from. Currently we just close the active packfile, unkeep all of our newly created packfiles (so they can be deleted), and dump the marks table to a temporary file. We don't attempt to update the refs/tags that the process has in memory as much of that data can be found in the crash report and I'm not sure it would be the right thing to do under every type of crash.

2008-01-21Teach fast-import to honor pack.compression and pack.depthLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-3/+29
We now use the configured pack.compression and pack.depth values within fast-import, as like builtin-pack-objects fast-import is generating a packfile for consumption by the Git tools. We use the same behavior as builtin-pack-objects does for these options, allowing core.compression to supply the default value for pack.compression. The default setting for pack.depth within fast-import is still 10 as users will generally repack fast-import generated packfiles by `repack -f`. A large delta depth within the fast-import packfile can significantly slow down such a later repack. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2008-01-17Fix random fast-import errors when compiled with NO_MMAPLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-2/+4
fast-import was relying on the fact that on most systems mmap() and write() are synchronized by the filesystem's buffer cache. We were relying on the ability to mmap() 20 bytes beyond the current end of the file, then later fill in those bytes with a future write() call, then read them through the previously obtained mmap() address. This isn't always true with some implementations of NFS, but it is especially not true with our NO_MMAP=YesPlease build time option used on some platforms. If fast-import was built with NO_MMAP=YesPlease we used the malloc()+pread() emulation and the subsequent write() call does not update the trailing 20 bytes of a previously obtained "mmap()" (aka malloc'd) address. Under NO_MMAP that behavior causes unpack_entry() in sha1_file.c to be unable to read an object header (or data) that has been unlucky enough to be written to the packfile at a location such that it is in the trailing 20 bytes of a window previously opened on that same packfile. This bug has gone unnoticed for a very long time as it is highly data dependent. Not only does the object have to be placed at the right position, but it also needs to be positioned behind some other object that has been accessed due to a branch cache invalidation. In other words the stars had to align just right, and if you did run into this bug you probably should also have purchased a lottery ticket. Fortunately the workaround is a lot easier than the bug explanation. Before we allow unpack_entry() to read data from a pack window that has also (possibly) been modified through write() we force all existing windows on that packfile to be closed. By closing the windows we ensure that any new access via the emulated mmap() will reread the packfile, updating to the current file content. This comes at a slight performance degredation as we cannot reuse previously cached windows when we update the packfile. But it is a fairly minor difference as the window closes happen at only two points: - When the packfile is finalized and its .idx is generated: At this stage we are getting ready to update the refs and any data access into the packfile is going to be random, and is going after only the branch tips (to ensure they are valid). Our existing windows (if any) are not likely to be positioned at useful locations to access those final tip commits so we probably were closing them before anyway. - When the branch cache missed and we need to reload: At this point fast-import is getting change commands for the next commit and it needs to go re-read a tree object it previously had written out to the packfile. What windows we had (if any) are not likely to cover the tree in question so we probably were closing them before anyway. We do try to avoid unnecessarily closing windows in the second case by checking to see if the packfile size has increased since the last time we called unpack_entry() on that packfile. If the size has not changed then we have not written additional data, and any existing window is still vaild. This nicely handles the cases where fast-import is going through a branch cache reload and needs to read many trees at once. During such an event we are not likely to be updating the packfile so we do not cycle the windows between reads. With this change in place t9301-fast-export.sh (which was broken by c3b0dec509fe136c5417422f31898b5a4e2d5e02) finally works again. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-11-13Don't allow fast-import tree delta chains to exceed maximum depthLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-7/+13
Brian Downing noticed fast-import can produce tree depths of up to 6,035 objects and even deeper. Long delta chains can create very small packfiles but cause problems during repacking as git needs to unpack each tree to count the reachable blobs. What's happening here is the active branch cache isn't big enough. We're swapping out the branch and thus recycling the tree information (struct tree_content) back into the free pool. When we later reload the tree we set the delta_depth to 0 but we kept the tree we just reloaded as a delta base. So if the tree we reloaded was already at the maximum depth we wouldn't know it and make the new tree a delta. Multiply the number of times the branch cache has to swap out the tree times max_depth (10) and you get the maximum delta depth of a tree created by fast-import. In Brian's case above the active branch cache had to swap the branch out 603/604 times during this import to produce a tree with a delta depth of 6035.

2007-09-29strbuf change: be sure ->buf is never ever NULL.Libravatar Pierre Habouzit1-1/+1
For that purpose, the ->buf is always initialized with a char * buf living in the strbuf module. It is made a char * so that we can sloppily accept things that perform: sb->buf[0] = '\0', and because you can't pass "" as an initializer for ->buf without making gcc unhappy for very good reasons. strbuf_init/_detach/_grow have been fixed to trust ->alloc and not ->buf anymore. as a consequence strbuf_detach is _mandatory_ to detach a buffer, copying ->buf isn't an option anymore, if ->buf is going to escape from the scope, and eventually be free'd. API changes: * strbuf_setlen now always works, so just make strbuf_reset a convenience macro. * strbuf_detatch takes a size_t* optional argument (meaning it can be NULL) to copy the buffer's len, as it was needed for this refactor to make the code more readable, and working like the callers.

2007-09-06Rework strbuf API and semantics.Libravatar Pierre Habouzit1-8/+7
The gory details are explained in strbuf.h. The change of semantics this patch enforces is that the embeded buffer has always a '\0' character after its last byte, to always make it a C-string. The offs-by-one changes are all related to that very change. A strbuf can be used to store byte arrays, or as an extended string library. The `buf' member can be passed to any C legacy string function, because strbuf operations always ensure there is a terminating \0 at the end of the buffer, not accounted in the `len' field of the structure. A strbuf can be used to generate a string/buffer whose final size is not really known, and then "strbuf_detach" can be used to get the built buffer, and keep the wrapping "strbuf" structure usable for further work again. Other interesting feature: strbuf_grow(sb, size) ensure that there is enough allocated space in `sb' to put `size' new octets of data in the buffer. It helps avoiding reallocating data for nothing when the problem the strbuf helps to solve has a known typical size.

2007-08-19Include recent command history in fast-import crash reportsLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-4/+58
When we crash the frontend developer (or end-user) may need to know roughly around what part of the input stream we had a problem with and aborted on. Because line numbers aren't very useful in this sort of application we instead just keep the last 100 commands in a FIFO queue and print them as part of the crash report. Currently one problem with this design is a commit that has more than 100 modified files in it will flood the FIFO and any context regarding branch/from/committer/mark/comments will be lost. We really should save only the last few (10?) file changes for the current commit, ensuring we have some prior higher level commands in the FIFO when we crash on a file M/D/C/R command. Another issue with this approach is the FIFO only includes the commands, it does not include the commit messages. Yet having a commit message may be useful to help locate the relevant change in the source material. In practice I don't think this is going to be a major concern as the frontend can always embed its own source change set identifier as a comment (which will appear in the crash report) and the commit message(s) for the most recent commits of any given branch should be obtainable from the (packed) commit objects.

2007-08-19Generate crash reports on die in fast-importLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+93
As fast-import is quite strict about its input and die()'s anytime something goes wrong it can be difficult for a frontend developer to troubleshoot why fast-import rejected their input, or to even determine what input command it rejected. This change introduces a custom handler for Git's die() routine. When we receive a die() for any reason (fast-import or a lower level core Git routine we called) the error is first dumped onto stderr and then a more extensive crash report file is prepared in GIT_DIR. Finally we exit the process with status 128, just like the stock builtin die handler. An internal flag is set to prevent any further die()'s that may be invoked during the crash report generator from causing us to enter into an infinite loop. We shouldn't die() from our crash report handler, but just in case someone makes a future code change we are prepared to gaurd against small mistakes turning into huge problems for the end-user.

2007-08-19Allow frontends to bidirectionally communicate with fast-importLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+14
The existing checkpoint command is very useful to force fast-import to dump the branches out to disk so that standard Git tools can access them and the objects they refer to. However there was not a way to know when fast-import had finished executing the checkpoint and it was safe to read those refs. The progress command can be used to make fast-import output any message of the frontend's choosing to standard out. The frontend can scan for these messages using select() or poll() to monitor a pipe connected to the standard output of fast-import. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
