2021-04-30git: support separate arg for `--config-env`'s valueLibravatar Patrick Steinhardt1-0/+8
While not documented as such, many of the top-level options like `--git-dir` and `--work-tree` support two syntaxes: they accept both an equals sign between option and its value, and they do support option and value as two separate arguments. The recently added `--config-env` option only supports the syntax with an equals sign. Mitigate this inconsistency by accepting both syntaxes and add tests to verify both work.

2021-04-19parallel-checkout: make it truly parallelLibravatar Matheus Tavares1-0/+2
Use multiple worker processes to distribute the queued entries and call write_pc_item() in parallel for them. The items are distributed uniformly in contiguous chunks. This minimizes the chances of two workers writing to the same directory simultaneously, which could affect performance due to lock contention in the kernel. Work stealing (or any other format of re-distribution) is not implemented yet. The protocol between the main process and the workers is quite simple. They exchange binary messages packed in pkt-line format, and use PKT-FLUSH to mark the end of input (from both sides). The main process starts the communication by sending N pkt-lines, each corresponding to an item that needs to be written. These packets contain all the necessary information to load, smudge, and write the blob associated with each item. Then it waits for the worker to send back N pkt-lines containing the results for each item. The resulting packet must contain: the identification number of the item that it refers to, the status of the operation, and the lstat() data gathered after writing the file (iff the operation was successful). For now, checkout always uses a hardcoded value of 2 workers, only to demonstrate that the parallel checkout framework correctly divides and writes the queued entries. The next patch will add user configurations and define a more reasonable default, based on tests with the said settings.

The "prefix" was precomposed for macOS in commit 5c327502 (MacOS: precompose_argv_prefix(), 2021-02-03). However, this commit forgot to update "startup_info->prefix" after precomposing. Move the (possible) precomposition towards the end of setup_git_directory_gently(), so that precompose_string_if_needed() can use git_config_get_bool("core.precomposeunicode") correctly. Keep prefix, startup_info->prefix and GIT_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT all in sync.

2021-02-12Merge branch 'tb/precompose-prefix-too'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
When commands are started from a subdirectory, they may have to compare the path to the subdirectory (called prefix and found out from $(pwd)) with the tracked paths. On macOS, $(pwd) and readdir() yield decomposed path, while the tracked paths are usually normalized to the precomposed form, causing mismatch. This has been fixed by taking the same approach used to normalize the command line arguments. * tb/precompose-prefix-too: MacOS: precompose_argv_prefix()
2021-02-03MacOS: precompose_argv_prefix()Libravatar Torsten Bögershausen1-1/+1
The following sequence leads to a "BUG" assertion running under MacOS: DIR=git-test-restore-p Adiarnfd=$(printf 'A\314\210') DIRNAME=xx${Adiarnfd}yy mkdir $DIR && cd $DIR && git init && mkdir $DIRNAME && cd $DIRNAME && echo "Initial" >file && git add file && echo "One more line" >>file && echo y | git restore -p . Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/git-test-restore-p/.git/ BUG: pathspec.c:495: error initializing pathspec_item Cannot close git diff-index --cached --numstat [snip] The command `git restore` is run from a directory inside a Git repo. Git needs to split the $CWD into 2 parts: The path to the repo and "the rest", if any. "The rest" becomes a "prefix" later used inside the pathspec code. As an example, "/path/to/repo/dir-inside-repå" would determine "/path/to/repo" as the root of the repo, the place where the configuration file .git/config is found. The rest becomes the prefix ("dir-inside-repå"), from where the pathspec machinery expands the ".", more about this later. If there is a decomposed form, (making the decomposing visible like this), "dir-inside-rep°a" doesn't match "dir-inside-repå". Git commands need to: (a) read the configuration variable "core.precomposeunicode" (b) precocompose argv[] (c) precompose the prefix, if there was any The first commit, 76759c7dff53 "git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode" addressed (a) and (b). The call to precompose_argv() was added into parse-options.c, because that seemed to be a good place when the patch was written. Commands that don't use parse-options need to do (a) and (b) themselfs. The commands `diff-files`, `diff-index`, `diff-tree` and `diff` learned (a) and (b) in commit 90a78b83e0b8 "diff: run arguments through precompose_argv" Branch names (or refs in general) using decomposed code points resulting in decomposed file names had been fixed in commit 8e712ef6fc97 "Honor core.precomposeUnicode in more places" The bug report from above shows 2 things: - more commands need to handle precomposed unicode - (c) should be implemented for all commands using pathspecs Solution: precompose_argv() now handles the prefix (if needed), and is renamed into precompose_argv_prefix(). Inside this function the config variable core.precomposeunicode is read into the global variable precomposed_unicode, as before. This reading is skipped if precomposed_unicode had been read before. The original patch for preocomposed unicode, 76759c7dff53, placed precompose_argv() into parse-options.c Now add it into git.c::run_builtin() as well. Existing precompose calls in diff-files.c and others may become redundant, and if we audit the callflows that reach these places to make sure that they can never be reached without going through the new call added to run_builtin(), we might be able to remove these existing ones. But in this commit, we do not bother to do so and leave these precompose callsites as they are. Because precompose() is idempotent and can be called on an already precomposed string safely, this is safer than removing existing calls without fully vetting the callflows. There is certainly room for cleanups - this change intends to be a bug fix. Cleanups needs more tests in e.g. t/t3910-mac-os-precompose.sh, and should be done in future commits.

2021-01-12config: add new way to pass config via `--config-env`Libravatar Patrick Steinhardt1-1/+3
While it's already possible to pass runtime configuration via `git -c <key>=<value>`, it may be undesirable to use when the value contains sensitive information. E.g. if one wants to set `http.extraHeader` to contain an authentication token, doing so via `-c` would trivially leak those credentials via e.g. ps(1), which typically also shows command arguments. To enable this usecase without leaking credentials, this commit introduces a new switch `--config-env=<key>=<envvar>`. Instead of directly passing a value for the given key, it instead allows the user to specify the name of an environment variable. The value of that variable will then be used as value of the key.

2020-11-30maintenance: fix SEGFAULT when no repositoryLibravatar Rafael Silva1-1/+1
The "git maintenance run" and "git maintenance start/stop" commands holds a file-based lock at the .git/maintenance.lock and .git/schedule.lock respectively. These locks are used to ensure only one maintenance process is executed at the time as both operations involves writing data into the git repository. The path to the lock file is built using "the_repository->objects->odb->path" that results in SEGFAULT when we have no repository available as "the_repository->objects->odb" is set to NULL. Let's teach maintenance command to use RUN_SETUP option that will provide the validation and fail when running outside of a repository. Hence fixing the SEGFAULT for all three operations and making the behaviour consistent across all subcommands. Setting the RUN_SETUP also provides the same protection for all subcommands given that the "register" and "unregister" also requires to be executed inside a repository. Furthermore let's remove the local validation implemented by the "register" and "unregister" as this will not be required anymore with the new option.

When building with SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS=YesPlease, the built-in commands are no longer present in the `PATH` as hardlinks to `git`. As a consequence, `load_command_list()` needs to be taught to find the names of the built-in commands from elsewhere. This only affected the output of `git --list-cmds=main`, but not the output of `git help -a` because the latter includes the built-in commands by virtue of them being listed in command-list.txt. The bug was detected via a patch series that turns the merge strategies included in Git into built-in commands: `git merge -s help` relies on `load_command_list()` to determine the list of available merge strategies.

It can be helpful to store a list of repositories in global or system config and then iterate Git commands on that list. Create a new builtin that makes this process simple for experts.

2020-09-17maintenance: create basic maintenance runnerLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+1
The 'gc' builtin is our current entrypoint for automatically maintaining a repository. This one tool does many operations, such as repacking the repository, packing refs, and rewriting the commit-graph file. The name implies it performs "garbage collection" which means several different things, and some users may not want to use this operation that rewrites the entire object database. Create a new 'maintenance' builtin that will become a more general- purpose command. To start, it will only support the 'run' subcommand, but will later expand to add subcommands for scheduling maintenance in the background. For now, the 'maintenance' builtin is a thin shim over the 'gc' builtin. In fact, the only option is the '--auto' toggle, which is handed directly to the 'gc' builtin. The current change is isolated to this simple operation to prevent more interesting logic from being lost in all of the boilerplate of adding a new builtin. Use existing builtin/gc.c file because we want to share code between the two builtins. It is possible that we will have 'maintenance' replace the 'gc' builtin entirely at some point, leaving 'git gc' as an alias for some specific arguments to 'git maintenance run'. Create a new test_subcommand helper that allows us to test if a certain subcommand was run. It requires storing the GIT_TRACE2_EVENT logs in a file. A negation mode is available that will be used in later tests.

2020-08-13make credential helpers builtinsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
There's no real reason for credential helpers to be separate binaries. I did them this way originally under the notion that helper don't _need_ to be part of Git, and so can be built totally separately (and indeed, the ones in contrib/credential are). But the ones in our main Makefile build on libgit.a, and the resulting binaries are reasonably large. We can slim down our total disk footprint by just making them builtins. This reduces the size of: make strip install from 29MB to 24MB on my Debian system. Note that credential-cache can't operate without support for Unix sockets. Currently we just don't build it at all when NO_UNIX_SOCKETS is set. We could continue that with conditionals in the Makefile and our list of builtins. But instead, let's build a dummy implementation that dies with an informative message. That has two advantages: - it's simpler, because the conditional bits are all kept inside the credential-cache source - a user who is expecting it to exist will be told _why_ they can't use it, rather than getting the "credential-cache is not a git command" error which makes it look like the Git install is broken. Note that our dummy implementation does still respond to "-h" in order to appease t0012 (and this may be a little friendlier for users, as well).

Let's rename them to "nr" (which we use for counts elsewhere) and "v" (which is rather terse, but reads well when combined with typical variable names like "args.v"). Note that we have to update all of the callers immediately. Playing tricks with the preprocessor is hard here, because we wouldn't want to rewrite unrelated tokens.

2020-07-28strvec: convert more callers away from argv_array nameLibravatar Jeff King1-11/+11
We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once, or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits. Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different names is OK). This patch converts remaining files from the first half of the alphabet, to keep the diff to a manageable size. The conversion was done purely mechanically with: git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' | xargs perl -i -pe ' s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g; s/argv_array/strvec/g; ' and then selectively staging files with "git add '[abcdefghjkl]*'".

2020-07-07Wait for child on signal death for aliases to externalsLibravatar Trygve Aaberge1-0/+2
When we are running an alias to an external command, we want to wait for that process to exit even after receiving ^C which normally kills the git process. This is useful when the process is ignoring SIGINT (which e.g. pagers often do), and then we don't want it to be killed. Having an alias which invokes a pager is probably not common, but it can be useful e.g. if you have an alias to a git command which uses a subshell as one of the arguments (in which case you have to use an external command, not an alias to a builtin). This patch is similar to the previous commit, but the previous commit fixed this only for aliases to builtins, while this commit does the same for aliases to external commands. In addition to waiting after clean like the previous commit, this also enables cleaning the child (that was already enabled for aliases to builtins before the previous commit), because wait_after_clean relies on it. Lastly, while the previous commit fixed a regression, I don't think this has ever worked properly. Signed-off-by: Trygve Aaberge <trygveaa@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-07-07Wait for child on signal death for aliases to builtinsLibravatar Trygve Aaberge1-1/+1
When you hit ^C all the processes in the tree receives it. When a git command uses a pager, git ignores this and waits until the pager quits. However, when using an alias there is an additional process in the tree which didn't ignore the signal. That caused it to exit which in turn caused the pager to exit. This fixes that for aliases to builtins. This was originally fixed in 46df6906 (execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal death, 2017-01-06), but was broken by ee4512ed (trace2: create new combined trace facility, 2019-02-22) and then b9140840 (git: avoid calling aliased builtins via their dashed form, 2019-07-29).

show-index is capable of reading any possible index file whether or not the index is inside a repository. However, because our index files lack metadata about the hash algorithm in use, it's not possible to autodetect the algorithm that a particular index file is using.

2020-03-05stash: remove the stash.useBuiltin settingLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-6/+1
Remove the stash.useBuiltin setting which was added as an escape hatch to disable the builtin version of stash first released with Git 2.22. Carrying the legacy version is a maintenance burden, and has in fact become out of date failing a test since the 2.23 release, without anyone noticing until now. So users would be getting a hint to fall back to a potentially buggy version of the tool. We used to shell out to git config to get the useBuiltin configuration to avoid changing any global state before spawning legacy-stash. However that is no longer necessary, so just use the 'git_config' function to get the setting instead. Similar to what we've done in d03ebd411c ("rebase: remove the rebase.useBuiltin setting", 2019-03-18), where we remove the corresponding setting for rebase, we leave the documentation in place, so people can refer back to it when searching for it online, and so we can refer to it in the commit message.

2019-11-22sparse-checkout: create builtin with 'list' subcommandLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+1
The sparse-checkout feature is mostly hidden to users, as its only documentation is supplementary information in the docs for 'git read-tree'. In addition, users need to know how to edit the .git/info/sparse-checkout file with the right patterns, then run the appropriate 'git read-tree -mu HEAD' command. Keeping the working directory in sync with the sparse-checkout file requires care. Begin an effort to make the sparse-checkout feature a porcelain feature by creating a new 'git sparse-checkout' builtin. This builtin will be the preferred mechanism for manipulating the sparse-checkout file and syncing the working directory. The documentation provided is adapted from the "git read-tree" documentation with a few edits for clarity in the new context. Extra sections are added to hint toward a future change to a more restricted pattern set.

Use the macro COPY_ARRAY to copy array elements and MOVE_ARRAY to do the same for moving them backwards in an array with potential overlap.

These cases were missed by Coccinelle and contrib/coccinelle/array.cocci because the type of the elements is "const char *", not "char *", and the rules in the semantic patch cautiously insist on the sizeof operator being used on exactly the same type to avoid generating transformations that introduce subtle bugs into tricky code.

2019-07-29git: avoid calling aliased builtins via their dashed formLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+0
This is one of the few places where Git violates its own deprecation of the dashed form. It is not necessary, either. As of 595d59e2b53 (git.c: ignore pager.* when launching builtin as dashed external, 2017-08-02), Git wants to ignore the pager.* config setting when expanding aliases. So let's strip out the check_pager_config(<command-name>) call from the copy-edited code. This code actually made it into upstream git.git already, but it was disabled in `#if 0 ... #endif` guards so far.

2019-06-21env--helper: new undocumented builtin wrapping git_env_*()Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+1
We have many GIT_TEST_* variables that accept a <boolean> because they're implemented in C, and then some that take <non-empty?> because they're implemented at least partially in shellscript. Add a helper that wraps git_env_bool() and git_env_ulong() as the first step in fixing this. This isn't being added as a test-tool mode because some of these are used outside the test suite. Part of what this tool does can be done via a trick with "git config" added in 83d842dc8c ("tests: turn on network daemon tests by default", 2014-02-10) for test_tristate(), i.e.: git -c magic.variable="$1" config --bool magic.variable 2>/dev/null But as subsequent changes will show being able to pass along the default value makes all the difference, and we'll be able to replace test_tristate() itself with that. The --type=bool option will be used by subsequent patches, but not --type=ulong. I figured it was easy enough to add it & test for it so I left it in so we'd have wrappers for both git_env_*() functions, and to have a template to make it obvious how we'd add --type=int etc. if it's needed in the future.

2019-05-07checkout: split part of it to new command 'restore'Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+1
Previously the switching branch business of 'git checkout' becomes a new command 'switch'. This adds the restore command for the checking out paths path. Similar to git-switch, a new man page is added to describe what the command will become. The implementation will be updated shortly to match the man page. A couple main differences from 'git checkout <paths>': - 'restore' by default will only update worktree. This matters more when --source is specified ('checkout <tree> <paths>' updates both worktree and index). - 'restore --staged' can be used to restore the index. This command overlaps with 'git reset <paths>'. - both worktree and index could also be restored at the same time (from a tree) when both --staged and --worktree are specified. This overlaps with 'git checkout <tree> <paths>' - default source for restoring worktree and index is the index and HEAD respectively. A different (tree) source could be specified as with --source (*). - when both index and worktree are restored, --source must be specified since the default source for these two individual targets are different (**) - --no-overlay is enabled by default, if an entry is missing in the source, restoring means deleting the entry (*) I originally went with --from instead of --source. I still think --from is a better name. The short option -f however is already taken by force. And I do think short option is good to have, e.g. to write -s@ or -s@^ instead of --source=HEAD. (**) If you sit down and think about it, moving worktree's source from the index to HEAD makes sense, but nobody is really thinking it through when they type the commands.

2019-04-19Turn `git serve` into a test helperLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+0
The `git serve` built-in was introduced in ed10cb952d31 (serve: introduce git-serve, 2018-03-15) as a backend to serve Git protocol v2, probably originally intended to be spawned by `git upload-pack`. However, in the version that the protocol v2 patches made it into core Git, `git upload-pack` calls the `serve()` function directly instead of spawning `git serve`; The only reason in life for `git serve` to survive as a built-in command is to provide a way to test the protocol v2 functionality. Meaning that it does not even have to be a built-in that is installed with end-user facing Git installations, but it can be a test helper instead. Let's make it so.

2019-04-02checkout: split part of it to new command 'switch'Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+1
"git checkout" doing too many things is a source of confusion for many users (and it even bites old timers sometimes). To remedy that, the command will be split into two new ones: switch and restore. The good old "git checkout" command is still here and will be until all (or most of users) are sick of it. See the new man page for the final design of switch. The actual implementation though is still pretty much the same as "git checkout" and not completely aligned with the man page. Following patches will adjust their behavior to match the man page.
