2014-09-18unblock and unignore SIGPIPELibravatar Patrick Reynolds1-0/+22
Blocked and ignored signals -- but not caught signals -- are inherited across exec. Some callers with sloppy signal-handling behavior can call git with SIGPIPE blocked or ignored, even non-deterministically. When SIGPIPE is blocked or ignored, several git commands can run indefinitely, ignoring EPIPE returns from write() calls, even when the process that called them has gone away. Our specific case involved a pipe of git diff-tree output to a script that reads a limited amount of diff data. In an ideal world, git would never be called with SIGPIPE blocked or ignored. But in the real world, several real potential callers, including Perl, Apache, and Unicorn, sometimes spawn subprocesses with SIGPIPE ignored. It is easier and more productive to harden git against this mistake than to clean it up in every potential parent process.

2014-07-13git: add performance tracing for git's main() function to debug scriptsLibravatar Karsten Blees1-0/+2
Use trace_performance to measure and print execution time and command line arguments of the entire main() function. In constrast to the shell's 'time' utility, which measures total time of the parent process, this logs all involved git commands recursively. This is particularly useful to debug performance issues of scripted commands (i.e. which git commands were called with which parameters, and how long did they execute). Due to git's deliberate use of exit(), the implementation uses an atexit routine rather than just adding trace_performance_since() at the end of main(). Usage example: > GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=~/git-trace.log git stash list Creates a log file like this: 23:57:38.638765 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000310107 s: git command: 'git' 'rev-parse' '--git-dir' 23:57:38.644387 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000261759 s: git command: 'git' 'rev-parse' '--show-toplevel' 23:57:38.646207 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000304468 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-colorbool' 'color.interactive' 23:57:38.648491 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000241667 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-color' 'color.interactive.help' 'red bold' 23:57:38.650465 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000243063 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-color' '' 'reset' 23:57:38.654850 trace.c:405 performance: 0.025126313 s: git command: 'git' 'stash' 'list' Signed-off-by: Karsten Blees <blees@dcon.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-06-23verify-commit: scriptable commit signature verificationLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-0/+1
Commit signatures can be verified using "git show -s --show-signature" or the "%G?" pretty format and parsing the output, which is well suited for user inspection, but not for scripting. Provide a command "verify-commit" which is analogous to "verify-tag": It returns 0 for good signatures and non-zero otherwise, has the gpg output on stderr and (optionally) the commit object on stdout, sans the signature, just like "verify-tag" does.

2014-06-20git: avoid magic number with skip_prefixLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
After handling options, any leftover arguments should be commands. However, we pass through "--help" and "--version", so that we convert them into "git help" and "git version" respectively. This is a straightforward use of skip_prefix to avoid a magic number, but while we are there, it is worth adding a comment to explain this otherwise confusing behavior.

2014-06-20use skip_prefix to avoid magic numbersLibravatar Jeff King1-10/+8
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. Like: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) { bar = atoi(v); continue; } Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-06-10git potty: restore environments after alias expansionLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-4/+49
Commit 4ad8332 (t0001: test git init when run via an alias - 2010-11-26) noted breakages when running init via alias. The problem is for alias to be used, $GIT_DIR must be searched, but 'init' and 'clone' are not happy with that. So we start a new process like an external command, with clean environment in this case. Env variables that are set by command line (e.g. "git --git-dir=.. ") are kept. This should also fix autocorrecting a command typo to "init" because it's the same problem: aliases are read, then "init" is unhappy with $GIT_DIR already set up because of that.

2013-09-09git: run in a directory given with -C optionLibravatar Nazri Ramliy1-1/+12
This is similar in spirit to "make -C dir ..." and "tar -C dir ...". It takes more keypresses to invoke git command in a different directory without leaving the current directory: 1. (cd ~/foo && git status) git --git-dir=~/foo/.git --work-dir=~/foo status GIT_DIR=~/foo/.git GIT_WORK_TREE=~/foo git status 2. (cd ../..; git grep foo) 3. for d in d1 d2 d3; do (cd $d && git svn rebase); done The methods shown above are acceptable for scripting but are too cumbersome for quick command line invocations. With this new option, the above can be done with fewer keystrokes: 1. git -C ~/foo status 2. git -C ../.. grep foo 3. for d in d1 d2 d3; do git -C $d svn rebase; done A new test script is added to verify the behavior of this option with other path-related options like --git-dir and --work-tree.

:(glob)path differs from plain pathspec that it uses wildmatch with WM_PATHNAME while the other uses fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME. The difference lies in how '*' (and '**') is processed. With the introduction of :(glob) and :(literal) and their global options --[no]glob-pathspecs, the user can: - make everything literal by default via --noglob-pathspecs --literal-pathspecs cannot be used for this purpose as it disables _all_ pathspec magic. - individually turn on globbing with :(glob) - make everything globbing by default via --glob-pathspecs - individually turn off globbing with :(literal) The implication behind this is, there is no way to gain the default matching behavior (i.e. fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME). You either get new globbing or literal. The old fnmatch behavior is considered deprecated and discouraged to use.

Sparse issues 68 errors (two errors for each main() function) such as the following: SP git.c git.c:510:5: error: too many arguments for function mingw_main git.c:510:5: error: symbol 'mingw_main' redeclared with different type \ (originally declared at git.c:510) - different argument counts The errors are caused by the 'main' macro used by the MinGW build to provide a replacement main() function. The original main function is effectively renamed to 'mingw_main' and is called from the new main function. The replacement main is used to execute certain actions common to all git programs on MinGW (e.g. ensure the standard I/O streams are in binary mode). In order to suppress the errors, we change the macro to include the parameters in the declaration of the mingw_main function. Unfortunately, this change provokes both sparse and gcc to complain about 9 calls to mingw_main(), such as the following: CC git.o git.c: In function 'main': git.c:510: warning: passing argument 2 of 'mingw_main' from \ incompatible pointer type git.c:510: note: expected 'const char **' but argument is of \ type 'char **' In order to suppress these warnings, since both of the main functions need to be declared with the same prototype, we change the declaration of the 9 main functions, thus: int main(int argc, char **argv) Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones <ramsay@ramsay1.demon.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

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.

Add a new command "git check-ignore" for debugging .gitignore files. The variable names may want to get cleaned up but that can be done in-tree. * as/check-ignore: clean.c, ls-files.c: respect encapsulation of exclude_list_groups t0008: avoid brace expansion add git-check-ignore sub-command setup.c: document get_pathspec() add.c: extract new die_if_path_beyond_symlink() for reuse add.c: extract check_path_for_gitlink() from treat_gitlinks() for reuse pathspec.c: rename newly public functions for clarity add.c: move pathspec matchers into new pathspec.c for reuse add.c: remove unused argument from validate_pathspec() dir.c: improve docs for match_pathspec() and match_pathspec_depth() dir.c: provide clear_directory() for reclaiming dir_struct memory dir.c: keep track of where patterns came from dir.c: use a single struct exclude_list per source of excludes Conflicts: builtin/ls-files.c dir.c
