2015-12-01Make error message after failing commit_lock_file() less confusingLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-1/+1
The error message after a failing commit_lock_file() call sometimes looks like this, causing confusion: $ git remote add remote git@server.com/repo.git error: could not commit config file .git/config # Huh?! # I didn't want to commit anything, especially not my config file! While in the narrow context of the lockfile module using the verb 'commit' in the error message makes perfect sense, in the broader context of git the word 'commit' already has a very specific meaning, hence the confusion. Reword these error messages to say "could not write" instead of "could not commit". While at it, include strerror in the error messages after writing the config file or the credential store fails to provide some information about the cause of the failure, and update the style of the error message after writing the reflog fails to match surrounding error messages (i.e. no '' around the pathname and no () around the error description).

2015-08-10prefer git_pathdup to git_path in some possibly-dangerous casesLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
Because git_path uses a static buffer that is shared with calls to git_path, mkpath, etc, it can be dangerous to assign the result to a variable or pass it to a non-trivial function. The value may change unexpectedly due to other calls. None of the cases changed here has a known bug, but they're worth converting away from git_path because: 1. It's easy to use git_pathdup in these cases. 2. They use constructs (like assignment) that make it hard to tell whether they're safe or not. The extra malloc overhead should be trivial, as an allocation should be an order of magnitude cheaper than a system call (which we are clearly about to make, since we are constructing a filename). The real cost is that we must remember to free the result. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-08-10sha1_file.c: rename move_temp_to_file() to finalize_object_file()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
Since 5a688fe4 ("core.sharedrepository = 0mode" should set, not loosen, 2009-03-25), we kept reminding ourselves: NEEDSWORK: this should be renamed to finalize_temp_file() as "moving" is only a part of what it does, when no patch between master to pu changes the call sites of this function. without doing anything about it. Let's do so. The purpose of this function was not to move but to finalize. The detail of the primarily implementation of finalizing was to link the temporary file to its final name and then to unlink, which wasn't even "moving". The alternative implementation did "move" by calling rename(2), which is a fun tangent. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Often a fast-import stream builds a new commit on top of the previous commit it built, and it often unconditionally emits a "from" command to specify the first parent, which can be omitted in such a case.

2015-07-13fast-import: do less work when given "from" matches current branch headLibravatar Mike Hommey1-12/+17
When building a fast-import stream, it's easy to forget the fact that for non-merge commits happening on top of the current branch head, there is no need for a "from" command. That is corroborated by the fact that at least git-p4, hg-fast-export and felipec's git-remote-hg all unconditionally use a "from" command. Unfortunately, giving a "from" command always resets the branch tree, forcing it to be re-read, and in many cases, the pack is also closed and reopened through gfi_unpack_entry. Both are unnecessary overhead, and the latter is particularly slow at least on OSX. Avoid resetting the tree when it's unmodified, and avoid calling gfi_unpack_entry when the given mark points to the same commit as the current branch head.

It is sometimes useful for importers to be able to read the SHA-1 corresponding to a mark that they have created via fast-import. For example, they might want to embed the SHA-1 into the commit message of a later commit. Or it might be useful for internal bookkeeping uses, or for logging.

2015-06-29convert "enum date_mode" into a structLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
In preparation for adding date modes that may carry extra information beyond the mode itself, this patch converts the date_mode enum into a struct. Most of the conversion is fairly straightforward; we pass the struct as a pointer and dereference the type field where necessary. Locations that declare a date_mode can use a "{}" constructor. However, the tricky case is where we use the enum labels as constants, like: show_date(t, tz, DATE_NORMAL); Ideally we could say: show_date(t, tz, &{ DATE_NORMAL }); but of course C does not allow that. Likewise, we cannot cast the constant to a struct, because we need to pass an actual address. Our options are basically: 1. Manually add a "struct date_mode d = { DATE_NORMAL }" definition to each caller, and pass "&d". This makes the callers uglier, because they sometimes do not even have their own scope (e.g., they are inside a switch statement). 2. Provide a pre-made global "date_normal" struct that can be passed by address. We'd also need "date_rfc2822", "date_iso8601", and so forth. But at least the ugliness is defined in one place. 3. Provide a wrapper that generates the correct struct on the fly. The big downside is that we end up pointing to a single global, which makes our wrapper non-reentrant. But show_date is already not reentrant, so it does not matter. This patch implements 3, along with a minor macro to keep the size of the callers sane.

If we are deleting the reference, then we don't need to read the reference's old value. It doesn't provide any race safety, because the value read just before the delete is no "better" than the value that would be read under lock during the delete. And even if the reference previously didn't exist, we can call delete_ref() on it if we don't provide an old_sha1 value.

2015-02-10fast-import: avoid running end_packfile recursivelyLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+5
When an import has finished, we run end_packfile() to finalize the data and move the packfile into place. If this process fails, we call die() and end up in our die_nicely() handler. Which unfortunately includes running end_packfile to save any progress we made. We enter the function again, and start operating on the pack_data struct while it is in an inconsistent state, leading to a segfault. One way to trigger this is to simply start two identical fast-imports at the same time. They will both create the same packfiles, which will then try to create identically named ".keep" files. One will win the race, and the other will die(), and end up with the segfault. Since 3c078b9, we already reset the pack_data pointer to NULL at the end of end_packfile. That covers the case of us calling die() right after end_packfile, before we have reinitialized the pack_data pointer. This new problem is quite similar, except that we are worried about calling die() _during_ end_packfile, not right after. Ideally we would simply set pack_data to NULL as soon as we enter the function, and operate on a copy of the pointer. Unfortunately, it is not so easy. pack_data is a global, and end_packfile calls into other functions which operate on the global directly. We would have to teach each of these to take an argument, and there is no guarantee that we would catch all of the spots. Instead, we can simply use a static flag to avoid recursively entering the function. This is a little less elegant, but it's short and fool-proof.

Many of the date functions write into fixed-size buffers. This is a minor pain, as we have to take special precautions, and frequently end up copying the result into a strbuf or heap-allocated buffer anyway (for which we sometimes use strcpy!). Let's instead teach parse_date, datestamp, etc to write to a strbuf. The obvious downside is that we might need to perform a heap allocation where we otherwise would not need to. However, it turns out that the only two new allocations required are: 1. In test-date.c, where we don't care about efficiency. 2. In determine_author_info, which is not performance critical (and where the use of a strbuf will help later refactoring).

2014-08-25fast-import: clean up pack_data pointer in end_packfileLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+7
We have a global pointer pack_data pointing to the current pack we have open. Inside end_packfile we have two new pointers, old_p and new_p. The latter points to pack_data, and the former points to the new "installed" version of the packfile we get when we hand the file off to the regular sha1_file machinery. When then free old_p. Presumably the extra old_p pointer was there so that we could overwrite pack_data with new_p and still free old_p, but we don't do that. We just leave pack_data pointing to bogus memory, and don't overwrite it until we call start_packfile again (if ever). This can cause problems for our die routine, which calls end_packfile to clean things up. If we die at the wrong moment, we can end up looking at invalid memory in pack_data left after the last end_packfile(). Instead, let's make sure we set pack_data to NULL after we free it, and make calling endfile() again with a NULL pack_data a noop (there is nothing to end). We can further make things less confusing by dropping old_p entirely, and moving new_p closer to its point of use.

When we see a file change in a commit, we expect one of: 1. A mark. 2. An "inline" keyword. 3. An object sha1. The handling of spaces is inconsistent between the three options. Option 1 calls a sub-function which checks for the space, but doesn't parse past it. Option 2 parses the space, then deliberately avoids moving the pointer past it. Option 3 detects the space locally but doesn't move past it. This is confusing, because it looks like option 1 forgets to check for the space (it's just buried). And option 2 checks for "inline ", but only moves strlen("inline") characters forward, which looks like a bug but isn't. We can make this more clear by just having each branch move past the space as it is checked (and we can replace the doubled use of "inline" with a call to skip_prefix).

Fast-import does a lot of parsing of commands and dispatching to sub-functions. For example, given "option foo", we might recognize "option " using starts_with, and then hand it off to parse_option() to do the rest. However, we do not let parse_option know that we have parsed the first part already. It gets the full buffer, and has to skip past the uninteresting bits. Some functions simply add a magic constant: char *option = command_buf.buf + 7; Others use strlen: char *option = command_buf.buf + strlen("option "); And others use strchr: char *option = strchr(command_buf.buf, ' ') + 1; All of these are brittle and easy to get wrong (especially given that the starts_with call and the code that assumes the presence of the prefix are far apart).

2014-06-20use skip_prefix to avoid magic numbersLibravatar Jeff King1-32/+37
It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it with a magic number, like: if (starts_with(foo, "bar")) foo += 3; This is easy to get wrong, since you have to count the prefix string yourself, and there's no compiler check if the string changes. We can use skip_prefix to avoid the magic numbers here. Note that some of these conversions could be much shorter. For example: if (starts_with(arg, "--foo=")) { bar = arg + 6; continue; } could become: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &bar)) continue; However, I have left it as: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) { bar = v; continue; } to visually match nearby cases which need to actually process the string.

However, it does not confirm that the option even begins with "--" before blindly passing "arg + 2". It does confirm that the option starts with "-", so the only affected case was: git fast-import - which would read uninitialized memory after the argument.

2013-12-05replace {pre,suf}fixcmp() with {starts,ends}_with()Libravatar Christian Couder1-40/+40
Leaving only the function definitions and declarations so that any new topic in flight can still make use of the old functions, replace existing uses of the prefixcmp() and suffixcmp() with new API functions. The change can be recreated by mechanically applying this: $ git grep -l -e prefixcmp -e suffixcmp -- \*.c | grep -v strbuf\\.c | xargs perl -pi -e ' s|!prefixcmp\(|starts_with\(|g; s|prefixcmp\(|!starts_with\(|g; s|!suffixcmp\(|ends_with\(|g; s|suffixcmp\(|!ends_with\(|g; ' on the result of preparatory changes in this series.

2013-09-17Merge branch 'rh/ishes-doc'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-10/+10
We liberally use "committish" and "commit-ish" (and "treeish" and "tree-ish"); as these are non-words, let's unify these terms to their dashed form. More importantly, clarify the documentation on object peeling using these terms. * rh/ishes-doc: glossary: fix and clarify the definition of 'ref' revisions.txt: fix and clarify <rev>^{<type>} glossary: more precise definition of tree-ish (a.k.a. treeish) use 'commit-ish' instead of 'committish' use 'tree-ish' instead of 'treeish' glossary: define commit-ish (a.k.a. committish) glossary: mention 'treeish' as an alternative to 'tree-ish'
