2016-12-07lockfile: LOCK_REPORT_ON_ERRORLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The "libify sequencer" topic stopped passing the die_on_error option to hold_locked_index(), and this lost an error message from "git merge --ff-only $commit" when there are competing updates in progress. The command still exits with a non-zero status, but that is not of much help for an interactive user. The last thing the command says is "Updating $from..$to". We used to follow it with a big error message that makes it clear that "merge --ff-only" did not succeed. What is sad is that we should have noticed this regression while reviewing the change. It was clear that the update to the checkout_fast_forward() function made a failing hold_locked_index() silent, but the only caller of the checkout_fast_forward() function had this comment: if (checkout_fast_forward(from, to, 1)) - exit(128); /* the callee should have complained already */ + return -1; /* the callee should have complained already */ which clearly contradicted the assumption X-<. Add a new option LOCK_REPORT_ON_ERROR that can be passed instead of LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR to the hold_lock*() family of functions and teach checkout_fast_forward() to use it to fix this regression. After going thourgh all calls to hold_lock*() family of functions that used to pass LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR but were modified to pass 0 in the "libify sequencer" topic "git show --first-parent 2a4062a4a8", it appears that this is the only one that has become silent. Many others used to give detailed report that talked about "there may be competing Git process running" but with the series merged they now only give a single liner "Unable to lock ...", some of which may have to be tweaked further, but at least they say something, unlike the one this patch fixes.

2016-09-09sequencer: lib'ify checkout_fast_forward()Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+6
Instead of dying there, let the caller high up in the callchain notice the error and handle it (by dying, still). The only callers of checkout_fast_forward(), cmd_merge(), pull_into_void(), cmd_pull() and sequencer's fast_forward_to(), already check the return value and handle it appropriately. With this step, we make it notice an error return from this function. So this is a safe conversion to make checkout_fast_forward() callable from new callers that want it not to die, without changing the external behaviour of anything existing.

2015-11-20Convert struct object to object_idLibravatar brian m. carlson1-1/+1
struct object is one of the major data structures dealing with object IDs. Convert it to use struct object_id instead of an unsigned char array. Convert get_object_hash to refer to the new member as well. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
2014-10-01lockfile.h: extract new header file for the functions in lockfile.cLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+1
Move the interface declaration for the functions in lockfile.c from cache.h to a new file, lockfile.h. Add #includes where necessary (and remove some redundant includes of cache.h by files that already include builtin.h). Move the documentation of the lock_file state diagram from lockfile.c to the new header file. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-07-16Merge branch 'nd/split-index'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+3
An experiment to use two files (the base file and incremental changes relative to it) to represent the index to reduce I/O cost of rewriting a large index when only small part of the working tree changes. * nd/split-index: (32 commits) t1700: new tests for split-index mode t2104: make sure split index mode is off for the version test read-cache: force split index mode with GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX read-tree: note about dropping split-index mode or index version read-tree: force split-index mode off on --index-output rev-parse: add --shared-index-path to get shared index path update-index --split-index: do not split if $GIT_DIR is read only update-index: new options to enable/disable split index mode split-index: strip pathname of on-disk replaced entries split-index: do not invalidate cache-tree at read time split-index: the reading part split-index: the writing part read-cache: mark updated entries for split index read-cache: save deleted entries in split index read-cache: mark new entries for split index read-cache: split-index mode read-cache: save index SHA-1 after reading entry.c: update cache_changed if refresh_cache is set in checkout_entry() cache-tree: mark istate->cache_changed on prime_cache_tree() cache-tree: mark istate->cache_changed on cache tree update ...

This is shorter, and avoids a rather complicated set of allocation and free steps. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-10-29Move try_merge_command and checkout_fast_forward to libgit.aLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+112
These functions are called in sequencer.c, which is part of libgit.a. This makes libgit.a potentially require builtin/merge.c for external git commands. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
