2013-12-05replace {pre,suf}fixcmp() with {starts,ends}_with()Libravatar Christian Couder1-3/+3
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.

2013-09-26merge-recursive: fix parsing of "diff-algorithm" optionLibravatar John Keeping1-2/+2
The "diff-algorithm" option to the recursive merge strategy takes the name of the algorithm as an option, but it uses strcmp on the option string to check if it starts with "diff-algorithm=", meaning that this options cannot actually be used. Fix this by switching to prefixcmp. At the same time, clarify the following line by using strlen instead of a hard-coded length, which also makes it consistent with nearby code.

2013-07-09Convert "struct cache_entry *" to "const ..." wherever possibleLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-3/+4
I attempted to make index_state->cache[] a "const struct cache_entry **" to find out how existing entries in index are modified and where. The question I have is what do we do if we really need to keep track of on-disk changes in the index. The result is - diff-lib.c: setting CE_UPTODATE - name-hash.c: setting CE_HASHED - preload-index.c, read-cache.c, unpack-trees.c and builtin/update-index: obvious - entry.c: write_entry() may refresh the checked out entry via fill_stat_cache_info(). This causes "non-const struct cache_entry *" in builtin/apply.c, builtin/checkout-index.c and builtin/checkout.c - builtin/ls-files.c: --with-tree changes stagemask and may set CE_UPDATE Of these, write_entry() and its call sites are probably most interesting because it modifies on-disk info. But this is stat info and can be retrieved via refresh, at least for porcelain commands. Other just uses ce_flags for local purposes. So, keeping track of "dirty" entries is just a matter of setting a flag in index modification functions exposed by read-cache.c. Except unpack-trees, the rest of the code base does not do anything funny behind read-cache's back. The actual patch is less valueable than the summary above. But if anyone wants to re-identify the above sites. Applying this patch, then this: diff --git a/cache.h b/cache.h index 430d021..1692891 100644 --- a/cache.h +++ b/cache.h @@ -267,7 +267,7 @@ static inline unsigned int canon_mode(unsigned int mode) #define cache_entry_size(len) (offsetof(struct cache_entry,name) + (len) + 1) struct index_state { - struct cache_entry **cache; + const struct cache_entry **cache; unsigned int version; unsigned int cache_nr, cache_alloc, cache_changed; struct string_list *resolve_undo; will help quickly identify them without bogus warnings.

2012-03-23merge-recursive: don't detect renames of empty filesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
Merge-recursive detects renames so that if one side modifies "foo" and the other side moves it to "bar", the modification is applied to "bar". However, our rename detection is based on content analysis, it can be wrong (i.e., two files were not intended as a rename, but just happen to have the same or similar content). This is quite rare if the files actually contain content, since two unrelated files are unlikely to have exactly the same content. However, empty files present a problem, in that there is nothing to analyze. An uninteresting placeholder file with zero bytes may or may not be related to a placeholder file with another name. The result is that adding content to an empty file may cause confusion if the other side of a merge removed it; your content may end up in another random placeholder file that was added. Let's err on the side of caution and not consider empty files as renames. This will cause a modify/delete conflict on the merge, which will let the user sort it out themselves.

Correct this short-signtedness by redefining the field to be a pointer to a structure "struct merge_remote_desc" that later enhancements can add more information.

2011-10-13submodule: Search for merges only at end of recursive mergeLibravatar Brad King1-2/+4
The submodule merge search is not useful during virtual merges because the results cannot be used automatically.

Unfortunately, this broke assumptions of the get_renames() code (via string_list_lookup() calls) which needed the list to be in the standard ordering. When those lookups would fail, duplicate stage_data entries could be inserted, causing the process_renames and process_entry code to fail (in particular, a path that that process_renames had marked as processed would still be processed anyway in process_entry due to the duplicate entry).

2011-08-14merge-recursive: Consider modifications in rename/rename(2to1) conflictsLibravatar Elijah Newren1-9/+21
Our previous conflict resolution for renaming two different files to the same name ignored the fact that each of those files may have modifications from both sides of history to consider. We need to do a three-way merge for each of those files, and then handle the conflict of both sets of merged contents trying to be recorded with the same name. It is important to note that this changes our strategy in the recursive case. After doing a three-way content merge of each of the files involved, we still are faced with the fact that we are trying to put both of the results (including conflict markers) into the same path. We could do another two-way merge, but I think that becomes confusing. Also, taking a hint from the modify/delete and rename/delete cases we handled earlier, a more useful "common ground" would be to keep the three-way content merge but record it with the original filename. The renames can still be detected, we just allow it to be done in the o->call_depth=0 case. This seems to result in simpler & easier to understand merge conflicts as well, as evidenced by some of the changes needed in our testsuite in t6036. (However, it should be noted that this change will cause problems those renames also occur along with a file being added whose name matches the source of the rename. Since git currently cannot detect rename/add-source situations, though, this codepath is not currently used for those cases anyway.

2011-08-14merge-recursive: Fix modify/delete resolution in the recursive caseLibravatar Elijah Newren1-14/+24
When o->call_depth>0 and we have conflicts, we try to find "middle ground" when creating the virtual merge base. In the case of content conflicts, this can be done by doing a three-way content merge and using the result. In all parts where the three-way content merge is clean, it is the correct middle ground, and in parts where it conflicts there is no middle ground but the conflict markers provide a good compromise since they are unlikely to accidentally match any further changes. In the case of a modify/delete conflict, we cannot do the same thing. Accepting either endpoint as the resolution for the virtual merge base runs the risk that when handling the non-recursive case we will silently accept one person's resolution over another without flagging a conflict. In this case, the closest "middle ground" we have is actually the merge base of the candidate merge bases. (We could alternatively attempt a three way content merge using an empty file in place of the deleted file, but that seems to be more work than necessary.)

2011-08-14merge-recursive: When we detect we can skip an update, actually skip itLibravatar Elijah Newren1-3/+16
In 882fd11 (merge-recursive: Delay content merging for renames 2010-09-20), there was code that checked for whether we could skip updating a file in the working directory, based on whether the merged version matched the current working copy. Due to the desire to handle directory/file conflicts that were resolvable, that commit deferred content merging by first updating the index with the unmerged entries and then moving the actual merging (along with the skip-the-content-update check) to another function that ran later in the merge process. As part moving the content merging code, a bug was introduced such that although the message about skipping the update would be printed (whenever GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY was sufficiently high), the file would be unconditionally updated in the working copy anyway. When we detect that the file does not need to be updated in the working copy, update the index appropriately and then return early before updating the working copy. Note that there was a similar change in b2c8c0a (merge-recursive: When we detect we can skip an update, actually skip it 2011-02-28), but it was reverted by 6db4105 (Revert "Merge branch 'en/merge-recursive'" 2011-05-19) since it did not fix both of the relevant types of unnecessary update breakages and, worse, it made use of some band-aids that caused other problems. The reason this change works is due to the changes earlier in this series to (a) record_df_conflict_files instead of just unlinking them early, (b) allowing make_room_for_path() to remove D/F entries, (c) the splitting of update_stages_and_entry() to have its functionality called at different points, and (d) making the pathnames of the files involved in the merge available to merge_content().

2011-08-14merge-recursive: Provide more info in conflict markers with file renamesLibravatar Elijah Newren1-3/+25
Whenever there are merge conflicts in file contents, we would mark the different sides of the conflict with the two branches being merged. However, when there is a rename involved as well, the branchname is not sufficient to specify where the conflicting content came from. In such cases, mark the two sides of the conflict with branchname:filename rather than just branchname.
