2007-11-11fix index-pack with packs >4GB containing deltas on 32-bit machinesLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+1
This probably hasn't been properly tested before. Here's a script to create a 8GB repo with the necessary characteristics (copy the test-genrandom executable from the Git build tree to /tmp first): ----- #!/bin/bash git init git config core.compression 0 # create big objects with no deltas for i in $(seq -w 1 2 63) do echo $i /tmp/test-genrandom $i 268435456 > file_$i git add file_$i rm file_$i echo "file_$i -delta" >> .gitattributes done # create "deltifiable" objects in between big objects for i in $(seq -w 2 2 64) do echo "$i $i $i" >> grow cp grow file_$i git add file_$i rm file_$i done rm grow # create a pack with them git commit -q -m "commit of big objects interlaced with small deltas" git repack -a -d ----- Then clone this repo over the Git protocol.

This patch unifies the write_index_file functions in builtin-pack-objects.c and index-pack.c.

2007-03-20don't ever allow SHA1 collisions to exist by fetching a packLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-4/+17
Waaaaaaay back Git was considered to be secure as it never overwrote an object it already had. This was ensured by always unpacking the packfile received over the network (both in fetch and receive-pack) and our already existing logic to not create a loose object for an object we already have. Lately however we keep "large-ish" packfiles on both fetch and push by running them through index-pack instead of unpack-objects. This would let an attacker perform a birthday attack. How? Assume the attacker knows a SHA-1 that has two different data streams. He knows the client is likely to have the "good" one. So he sends the "evil" variant to the other end as part of a "large-ish" packfile. The recipient keeps that packfile, and indexes it. Now since this is a birthday attack there is a SHA-1 collision; two objects exist in the repository with the same SHA-1. They have *very* different data streams. One of them is "evil". Currently the poor recipient cannot tell the two objects apart, short of by examining the timestamp of the packfiles. But lets say the recipient repacks before he realizes he's been attacked. We may wind up packing the "evil" version of the object, and deleting the "good" one. This is made *even more likely* by Junio's recent rearrange_packed_git patch (b867092f). It is extremely unlikely for a SHA1 collisions to occur, but if it ever happens with a remote (hence untrusted) object we simply must not let the fetch succeed. Normally received packs should not contain objects we already have. But when they do we must ensure duplicated objects with the same SHA1 actually contain the same data.

2007-03-07General const correctness fixesLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+1
We shouldn't attempt to assign constant strings into char*, as the string is not writable at runtime. Likewise we should always be treating unsigned values as unsigned values, not as signed values. Most of these are very straightforward. The only exception is the (unnecessary) xstrdup/free in builtin-branch.c for the detached head case. Since this is a user-level interactive type program and that particular code path is executed no more than once, I feel that the extra xstrdup call is well worth the easy elimination of this warning.

We currently have two parallel notation for dealing with object types in the code: a string and a numerical value. One of them is obviously redundent, and the most used one requires more stack space and a bunch of strcmp() all over the place.

2007-02-22Add git-bundle: move objects and references by archiveLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+2
Some workflows require use of repositories on machines that cannot be connected, preventing use of git-fetch / git-push to transport objects and references between the repositories. git-bundle provides an alternate transport mechanism, effectively allowing git-fetch and git-pull to operate using sneakernet transport. `git-bundle create` allows the user to create a bundle containing one or more branches or tags, but with specified basis assumed to exist on the target repository. At the receiving end, git-bundle acts like git-fetch-pack, allowing the user to invoke git-fetch or git-pull using the bundle file as the URL. git-fetch and git-ls-remote determine they have a bundle URL by checking that the URL points to a file, but are otherwise unchanged in operation with bundles. The original patch was done by Mark Levedahl <mdl123@verizon.net>. It was updated to make git-bundle a builtin, and get rid of the tar format: now, the first line is supposed to say "# v2 git bundle", the next lines either contain a prerequisite ("-" followed by the hash of the needed commit), or a ref (the hash of a commit, followed by the name of the ref), and finally the pack. As a result, the bundle argument can be "-" now. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-11-03Allow pack header preprocessing before unpack-objects/index-pack.Libravatar Nicolas Pitre1-0/+13
Some applications which invoke unpack-objects or index-pack --stdin may want to examine the pack header to determine the number of objects contained in the pack and use that value to determine which executable to invoke to handle the rest of the pack stream. However if the caller consumes the pack header from the input stream then its no longer available for unpack-objects or index-pack --stdin, both of which need the version and object count to process the stream. This change introduces --pack_header=ver,cnt as a command line option that the caller can supply to indicate it has already consumed the pack header and what version and object count were found in that header. As this option is only meant for low level applications such as receive-pack we are not documenting it at this time.

To prevent a race condition between `index-pack --stdin` and `repack -a -d` where the repack deletes the newly created pack file before any refs are updated to reference objects contained within it we mark the pack file as one that should be kept. This removes it from the list of packs that `repack -a -d` will consider for removal. Callers such as `receive-pack` which want to invoke `index-pack` should use this new --keep option to prevent the newly created pack and index file pair from being deleted before they have finished any related ref updates.

This is in preparation for receiving packs over the net, parse them on the fly, fix them up if they are "thin" packs, and keep the resulting pack instead of exploding it into loose objects. But such functionality should come separately.

2006-10-18index-pack: compare only the first 20-bytes of the key.Libravatar Nicolas Pitre1-4/+10
The "union delta_base" is a strange beast. It is a 20-byte binary blob key to search a binary searchable deltas[] array, each element of which uses it to represent its base object with either a full 20-byte SHA-1 or an offset in the pack. Which representation is used is determined by another field of the deltas[] array element, obj->type, so there is no room for confusion, as long as we make sure we compare the keys for the same type only with appropriate length. The code compared the full union with memcmp(). When storing the in-pack offset, the union was first cleared before storing an unsigned long, so comparison worked fine. On 64-bit architectures, however, the union typically is 24-byte long; the code did not clear the remaining 4-byte alignment padding when storing a full 20-byte SHA-1 representation. Using memcmp() to compare the whole union was wrong. This fixes the comparison to look at the first 20-bytes of the union, regardless of the architecture. As long as ulong is smaller than 20-bytes this works fine. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-09-27introduce delta objects with offset to baseLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-4/+4
This adds a new object, namely OBJ_OFS_DELTA, renames OBJ_DELTA to OBJ_REF_DELTA to better make the distinction between those two delta objects, and adds support for the handling of those new delta objects in sha1_file.c only. The OBJ_OFS_DELTA contains a relative offset from the delta object's position in a pack instead of the 20-byte SHA1 reference to identify the base object. Since the base is likely to be not so far away, the relative offset is more likely to have a smaller encoding on average than an absolute offset. And for those delta objects the base must always be stored first because there is no way to know the distance of later objects when streaming a pack. Hence this relative offset is always meant to be negative. The offset encoding is slightly denser than the one used for object size -- credits to <linux@horizon.com> (whoever this is) for bringing it to my attention. This allows for pack size reduction between 3.2% (Linux-2.6) to over 5% (linux-historic). Runtime pack access should be faster too since delta replay does skip a search in the pack index for each delta in a chain.

This abstracts away the size of the hash values when copying them from memory location to memory location, much as the introduction of hashcmp abstracted away hash value comparsion.
