2018-08-06rebase: start implementing it as a builtinLibravatar Pratik Karki1-0/+6
This commit imitates the strategy that was used to convert the difftool to a builtin. We start by renaming the shell script `git-rebase.sh` to `git-legacy-rebase.sh` and introduce a `builtin/rebase.c` that simply executes the shell script version, unless the config setting `rebase.useBuiltin` is set to `true`. The motivation behind this is to rewrite all the functionality of the shell script version in the aforementioned `rebase.c`, one by one and be able to conveniently test new features by configuring `rebase.useBuiltin`. In the original difftool conversion, if sane_execvp() that attempts to run the legacy scripted version returned with non-negative status, the command silently exited without doing anything with success, but sane_execvp() should not return with non-negative status in the first place, so we use die() to notice such an abnormal case. We intentionally avoid reading the config directly to avoid messing up the GIT_* environment variables when we need to fall back to exec()ing the shell script. The test of builtin rebase can be done by `git -c rebase.useBuiltin=true rebase ...` Signed-off-by: Pratik Karki <predatoramigo@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Add an option (controlled by an environment variable) perform extra validations on mem_pool allocated cache entries. When set: 1) Invalidate cache_entry memory when discarding cache_entry. 2) When discarding index_state struct, verify that all cache_entries were allocated from expected mem_pool. 3) When discarding mem_pools, invalidate mem_pool memory. This should provide extra checks that mem_pools and their allocated cache_entries are being used as expected.

2018-05-29make show-index a builtinLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
The git-show-index command is built as its own separate program. There's really no good reason for this, and it means we waste extra space on disk (and CPU time running the linker). Let's fold it in to the main binary as a builtin. The history here is actually a bit amusing. The program itself is mostly self-contained, and doesn't even use our normal pack index code. In a5031214c4 (slim down "git show-index", 2010-01-21), we even stopped using xmalloc() so that it could avoid libgit.a entirely. But then 040a655116 (cleanup: use internal memory allocation wrapper functions everywhere, 2011-10-06) switched that back to xmalloc, which later become ALLOC_ARRAY(). Making it a builtin should give us the best of both worlds: no wasted space and no need to avoid the usual patterns.

2018-05-21completion: add and use --list-cmds=aliasLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+2
By providing aliases via --list-cmds=, we could simplify command collection code in the script. We only issue one git command. Before this patch that is "git config", after it's "git --list-cmds=". In "git help" completion case we actually reduce one "git" process (for getting guides) but that call was added in this series so it does not really count. A couple of bash functions are removed because they are not needed anymore. __git_compute_all_commands() and $__git_all_commands stay because they are still needed for completing pager.* config and without "alias" group, the result is still cacheable. There is a slight (good) change in _git_help() with this patch: before "git help <tab>" shows external commands (as in _not_ part of git) as well as part of $__git_all_commands. We have finer control over command listing now and can exclude that because we can't provide a man page for external commands anyway.

2018-05-04git: add -P as a short option for --no-pagerLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-2/+2
It is possible to configure 'less', the pager, to use an alternate screen to show the content, for example, by setting LESS=RS in the environment. When it is closed in this configuration, it switches back to the original screen, and all content is gone. It is not uncommon to request that the output remains visible in the terminal. For this, the option --no-pager can be used. But it is a bit cumbersome to type, even when command completion is available. Provide a short option, -P, to make the option more easily accessible.

This is used to enable RUNTIME_PREFIX support for non-Windows systems, notably Linux and Darwin.

Introduce git-serve, the base server for protocol version 2. Protocol version 2 is intended to be a replacement for Git's current wire protocol. The intention is that it will be a simpler, less wasteful protocol which can evolve over time. Protocol version 2 improves upon version 1 by eliminating the initial ref advertisement. In its place a server will export a list of capabilities and commands which it supports in a capability advertisement. A client can then request that a particular command be executed by providing a number of capabilities and command specific parameters. At the completion of a command, a client can request that another command be executed or can terminate the connection by sending a flush packet.

2018-02-21config: respect `pager.config` in list/get-mode onlyLibravatar Martin Ågren1-1/+1
Similar to de121ffe5 (tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only, 2017-08-02), use the DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG-mechanism to only respect `pager.config` when we are listing or "get"ing config. We have several getters and some are guaranteed to give at most one line of output. Paging all getters including those could be convenient from a documentation point-of-view. The downside would be that a misconfigured or not so modern pager might wait for user interaction before terminating. Let's instead respect the config for precisely those getters which may produce more than one line of output. `--get-urlmatch` may or may not produce multiple lines of output, depending on the exact usage. Let's not try to recognize the two modes, but instead make `--get-urlmatch` always respect the config. Analyzing the detailed usage might be trivial enough here, but could establish a precedent that we will never be able to enforce throughout the codebase and that will just open a can of worms. This fixes the failing test added in the previous commit. Also adapt the test for whether `git config foo.bar bar` and `git config --get foo.bar` respects `pager.config`.

Another, the one taken by this commit, is to say "it does not list, so let's not page". That is in line with the approach of the series on `pager.tag` and in particular the wording in Documentation/git-tag.txt, which this commit reuses for git-branch.txt.

2017-10-03Merge branch 'jk/no-optional-locks'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+4
Some commands (most notably "git status") makes an opportunistic update when performing a read-only operation to help optimize later operations in the same repository. The new "--no-optional-locks" option can be passed to Git to disable them. * jk/no-optional-locks: git: add --no-optional-locks option
2017-09-27git: add --no-optional-locks optionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+4
Some tools like IDEs or fancy editors may periodically run commands like "git status" in the background to keep track of the state of the repository. Some of these commands may refresh the index and write out the result in an opportunistic way: if they can get the index lock, then they update the on-disk index with any updates they find. And if not, then their in-core refresh is lost and just has to be recomputed by the next caller. But taking the index lock may conflict with other operations in the repository. Especially ones that the user is doing themselves, which _aren't_ opportunistic. In other words, "git status" knows how to back off when somebody else is holding the lock, but other commands don't know that status would be happy to drop the lock if somebody else wanted it. There are a couple possible solutions: 1. Have some kind of "pseudo-lock" that allows other commands to tell status that they want the lock. This is likely to be complicated and error-prone to implement (and maybe even impossible with just dotlocks to work from, as it requires some inter-process communication). 2. Avoid background runs of commands like "git status" that want to do opportunistic updates, preferring instead plumbing like diff-files, etc. This is awkward for a couple of reasons. One is that "status --porcelain" reports a lot more about the repository state than is available from individual plumbing commands. And two is that we actually _do_ want to see the refreshed index. We just don't want to take a lock or write out the result. Whereas commands like diff-files expect us to refresh the index separately and write it to disk so that they can depend on the result. But that write is exactly what we're trying to avoid. 3. Ask "status" not to lock or write the index. This is easy to implement. The big downside is that any work done in refreshing the index for such a call is lost when the process exits. So a background process may end up re-hashing a changed file multiple times until the user runs a command that does an index refresh themselves. This patch implements the option 3. The idea (and the test) is largely stolen from a Git for Windows patch by Johannes Schindelin, 67e5ce7f63 (status: offer *not* to lock the index and update it, 2016-08-12). The twist here is that instead of making this an option to "git status", it becomes a "git" option and matching environment variable. The reason there is two-fold: 1. An environment variable is carried through to sub-processes. And whether an invocation is a background process or not should apply to the whole process tree. So you could do "git --no-optional-locks foo", and if "foo" is a script or alias that calls "status", you'll still get the effect. 2. There may be other programs that want the same treatment. I've punted here on finding more callers to convert, since "status" is the obvious one to call as a repeated background job. But "git diff"'s opportunistic refresh of the index may be a good candidate. The test is taken from 67e5ce7f63, and it's worth repeating Johannes's explanation: Note that the regression test added in this commit does not *really* verify that no index.lock file was written; that test is not possible in a portable way. Instead, we verify that .git/index is rewritten *only* when `git status` is run without `--no-optional-locks`.

2017-08-03git.c: ignore pager.* when launching builtin as dashed externalLibravatar Martin Ågren1-1/+1
When running, e.g., `git -c alias.bar=foo bar`, we expand the alias and execute `git-foo` as a dashed external. This is true even if git foo is a builtin. That is on purpose, and is motivated in a comment which was added in commit 441981bc ("git: simplify environment save/restore logic", 2016-01-26). Shortly before we launch a dashed external, and unless we have already found out whether we should use a pager, we check `pager.foo`. This was added in commit 92058e4d ("support pager.* for external commands", 2011-08-18). If the dashed external is a builtin, this does not match that commit's intention and is arguably wrong, since it would be cleaner if we let the "dashed external builtin" handle `pager.foo`. This has not mattered in practice, but a recent patch taught `git-tag` to ignore `pager.tag` under certain circumstances. But, when started using an alias, it doesn't get the chance to do so, as outlined above. That recent patch added a test to document this breakage. Do not check `pager.foo` before launching a builtin as a dashed external, i.e., if we recognize the name of the external as a builtin. Change the test to use `test_expect_success`.

2017-08-03tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode onlyLibravatar Martin Ågren1-1/+1
Using, e.g., `git -c pager.tag tag -a new-tag` results in errors such as "Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal" and a garbled terminal. Someone who makes use of both `git tag -a` and `git tag -l` will probably not set `pager.tag`, so that `git tag -a` will actually work, at the cost of not paging output of `git tag -l`. Use the mechanisms introduced in two earlier patches to ignore `pager.tag` in git.c and let the `git tag` builtin handle it on its own. Only respect `pager.tag` when running in list-mode. There is a window between where the pager is started before and after this patch. This means that early errors can behave slightly different before and after this patch. Since operation-parsing has to happen inside this window, this can be seen with `git -c pager.tag="echo pager is used" tag -l --unknown-option`. This change in paging-behavior should be acceptable since it only affects erroneous usages. Update the documentation and update tests.

2017-08-03git.c: provide setup_auto_pager()Libravatar Martin Ågren1-0/+10
The previous patch introduced a way for builtins to declare that they will take responsibility for handling the `pager.foo`-config item. (See the commit message of that patch for why that could be useful.) Provide setup_auto_pager(), which builtins can call in order to handle `pager.<cmd>`, including possibly starting the pager. Make this function don't do anything if a pager has already been started, as indicated by use_pager or pager_in_use(). Whenever this function is called from a builtin, git.c will already have called commit_pager_choice(). Since commit_pager_choice() treats the special value -1 as "punt" or "not yet decided", it is not a problem that we might end up calling commit_pager_choice() once in git.c and once (or more) in the builtin. Make the new function use -1 in the same way and document it as "punt". Don't add any users of setup_auto_pager just yet, one will follow in a later patch.

2017-08-03git.c: let builtins opt for handling `pager.foo` themselvesLibravatar Martin Ågren1-1/+3
Before launching a builtin git foo and unless mechanisms with precedence are in use, we check for and handle the `pager.foo` config. This is done without considering exactly how git foo is being used, and indeed, git.c cannot (and should not) know what the arguments to git foo are supposed to achieve. In practice this means that, e.g., `git -c pager.tag tag -a new-tag` results in errors such as "Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal" and a garbled terminal. Someone who makes use of both `git tag -a` and `git tag -l` will probably not set `pager.tag`, so that `git tag -a` will actually work, at the cost of not paging output of `git tag -l`. To allow individual builtins to make more informed decisions about when to respect `pager.foo`, introduce a flag DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG. If the flag is set, do not check `pager.foo`. Do not check for DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG in `execv_dashed_external()`. That call site is arguably wrong, although in a way that is not yet visible, and will be changed in a slightly different direction in a later patch. Don't add any users of DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG just yet, one will follow in a later patch.

2017-06-15alias: use the early config machinery to expand aliasesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-51/+4
Instead of discovering the .git/ directory, reading the config and then trying to painstakingly reset all the global state if we did not find a matching alias, let's use the early config machinery instead. It may look like unnecessary work to discover the .git/ directory in the early config machinery and then call setup_git_directory_gently() in the case of a shell alias, repeating the very same discovery *again*. However, we have to do this as the early config machinery takes pains *not* to touch any global state, while shell aliases expect a possibly changed working directory and at least the GIT_PREFIX and GIT_DIR variables to be set. This change also fixes a known issue where Git tried to read the pager config from an incorrect path in a subdirectory of a Git worktree if an alias expanded to a shell command.

It can be useful in the test suite to be able to iterate over the list of builtins. We could do this with some Makefile magic. But since the authoritative list is in the commands array inside git.c, and since this could also be handy for debugging, let's add a hidden command-line option to dump that list.

In a future patch child processes which act on submodules need a little more context about the original command that was invoked.

2017-02-09rebase--helper: add a builtin helper for interactive rebasesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+1
Git's interactive rebase is still implemented as a shell script, despite its complexity. This implies that it suffers from the portability point of view, from lack of expressibility, and of course also from performance. The latter issue is particularly serious on Windows, where we pay a hefty price for relying so much on POSIX. Unfortunately, being such a huge shell script also means that we missed the train when it would have been relatively easy to port it to C, and instead piled feature upon feature onto that poor script that originally never intended to be more than a slightly pimped cherry-pick in a loop. To open the road toward better performance (in addition to all the other benefits of C over shell scripts), let's just start *somewhere*. The approach taken here is to add a builtin helper that at first intends to take care of the parts of the interactive rebase that are most affected by the performance penalties mentioned above. In particular, after we spent all those efforts on preparing the sequencer to process rebase -i's git-rebase-todo scripts, we implement the `git rebase -i --continue` functionality as a new builtin, git-rebase--helper. Once that is in place, we can work gradually on tackling the rest of the technical debt. Note that the rebase--helper needs to learn about the transient --ff/--no-ff options of git-rebase, as the corresponding flag is not persisted to, and re-read from, the state directory.
