2013-03-18pack-refs: add fully-peeled traitLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+1
Older versions of pack-refs did not write peel lines for refs outside of refs/tags. This meant that on reading the pack-refs file, we might set the REF_KNOWS_PEELED flag for such a ref, even though we do not know anything about its peeled value. The previous commit updated the writer to always peel, no matter what the ref is. That means that packed-refs files written by newer versions of git are fine to be read by both old and new versions of git. However, we still have the problem of reading packed-refs files written by older versions of git, or by other implementations which have not yet learned the same trick. The simplest fix would be to always unset the REF_KNOWS_PEELED flag for refs outside of refs/tags that do not have a peel line (if it has a peel line, we know it is valid, but we cannot assume a missing peel line means anything). But that loses an important optimization, as upload-pack should not need to load the object pointed to by refs/heads/foo to determine that it is not a tag. Instead, we add a "fully-peeled" trait to the packed-refs file. If it is set, we know that we can trust a missing peel line to mean that a ref cannot be peeled. Otherwise, we fall back to assuming nothing.

2013-03-17pack-refs: write peeled entry for non-tagsLibravatar Jeff King1-8/+8
When we pack an annotated tag ref, we write not only the sha1 of the tag object along with the ref, but also the sha1 obtained by peeling the tag. This lets readers of the pack-refs file know the peeled value without having to actually load the object, speeding up upload-pack's ref advertisement. The writer marks a packed-refs file with peeled refs using the "peeled" trait at the top of the file. When the reader sees this trait, it knows that each ref is either followed by its peeled value, or it is not an annotated tag. However, there is a mismatch between the assumptions of the reader and writer. The writer will only peel refs under refs/tags, but the reader does not know this; it will assume a ref without a peeled value must not be a tag object. Thus an annotated tag object placed outside of the refs/tags hierarchy will not have its peeled value printed by upload-pack. The simplest way to fix this is to start writing peel values for all refs. This matches what the reader expects for both new and old versions of git.

2013-03-17avoid segfaults on parse_object failureLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Many call-sites of parse_object assume that they will get a non-NULL return value; this is not the case if we encounter an error while parsing the object. This patch adds a wrapper function around parse_object that handles dying automatically, and uses it anywhere we immediately try to access the return value as a non-NULL pointer (i.e., anywhere that we would currently segfault). This wrapper may also be useful in other places. The most obvious one is code like: o = parse_object(sha1); if (!o) die(...); However, these should not be mechanically converted to parse_object_or_die, as the die message is sometimes customized. Later patches can address these sites on a case-by-case basis. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-01-17pack_refs(): remove redundant checkLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-2/+1
handle_one_ref() only adds refs to the cbdata.ref_to_prune list if (cbdata.flags & PACK_REFS_PRUNE) is set. So any references in this list at the end of pack_refs() can be pruned unconditionally.

2011-10-05Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argumentLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+1
Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument that indicates what is acceptable in the reference name (analogous to "git check-ref-format"'s "--allow-onelevel" and "--refspec-pattern"). This is more convenient for callers and also fixes a failure in the test suite (and likely elsewhere in the code) by enabling "onelevel" and "refspec-pattern" to be allowed independently of each other. Also rename check_ref_format() to check_refname_format() to make it obvious that it deals with refnames rather than references themselves.

2010-07-07pack-refs: remove newly empty directoriesLibravatar Greg Price1-0/+32
In a large repository which uses directories to organize many refs, "git pack-refs --all --prune" does not improve performance so much as it should, unless we remove all the now-empty directories as well.

2009-06-27Convert existing die(..., strerror(errno)) to die_errno()Libravatar Thomas Rast1-4/+3
Change calls to die(..., strerror(errno)) to use the new die_errno(). In the process, also make slight style adjustments: at least state _something_ about the function that failed (instead of just printing the pathname), and put paths in single quotes.

2009-04-29replace direct calls to unlink(2) with unlink_or_warnLibravatar Alex Riesen1-1/+1
This helps to notice when something's going wrong, especially on systems which lock open files. I used the following criteria when selecting the code for replacement: - it was already printing a warning for the unlink failures - it is in a function which already printing something or is called from such a function - it is in a static function, returning void and the function is only called from a builtin main function (cmd_) - it is in a function which handles emergency exit (signal handlers) - it is in a function which is obvously cleaning up the lockfiles Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen <raa.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-10-19Enhance hold_lock_file_for_{update,append}() APILibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
This changes the "die_on_error" boolean parameter to a mere "flags", and changes the existing callers of hold_lock_file_for_update/append() functions to pass LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-06-19Move pack_refs() and friends into libgitLibravatar Johan Herland1-0/+117
This moves pack_refs() and underlying functionality into the library, to make pack-refs functionality easily available to all git programs. Most of builtin-pack-refs.c has been moved verbatim into a new file pack-refs.c that is compiled into libgit.a. A corresponding header file, pack-refs.h, has also been added, declaring pack_refs() and the #defines associated with the flags parameter to pack_refs(). This patch introduces no other changes in functionality. Signed-off-by: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
