2019-11-20pathspec: add new function to parse fileLibravatar Alexandr Miloslavskiy1-0/+38
This will be used to support the new option '--pathspec-from-file' in `git add`, `git-commit`, `git reset` etc. Note also that we specifically handle CR/LF line endings to support Windows better. To simplify code, file is first parsed into `argv_array`. This allows to avoid refactoring `parse_pathspec()`. I considered adding `nul_term_line` to `flags` instead, but decided that it doesn't fit there. The new code is mostly taken from `cmd_update_index()` and `split_mail_conv()`.

The cover letter of the patch series containing this patch (cf 20170513032414.mfrwabt4hovujde2@sigill.intra.peff.net) is not terribly clear why only one call site was converted, or what the plan is for other, similar calls to die() to report bugs.

The command line arguments passed to main() are valid for the life of a program, but the same is not true for all other argv-style arrays (e.g. when a caller creates an argv_array). Clarify that parse_pathspec does not rely on the argv passed to it to remain valid. This makes it easier to tell that callers like "git rev-list --stdin" are safe and ensures that that is more likely to remain true as the implementation of parse_pathspec evolves.

2017-06-23pathspec: die on empty strings as pathspecLibravatar Emily Xie1-7/+4
An empty string as a pathspec element matches all paths. A buggy script, however, could accidentally assign an empty string to a variable that then gets passed to a Git command invocation, e.g.: path=... compute a path to be removed in $path ... git rm -r "$path" which would unintentionally remove all paths in the current directory. The fix for this issue comprises of two steps. Step 1, which warns that empty strings as pathspecs will become invalid, has already been implemented in commit d426430 ("pathspec: warn on empty strings as pathspec", 2016-06-22). This patch is step 2. It removes the warning and throws an error instead.

2017-04-14pathspec: honor `PATHSPEC_PREFIX_ORIGIN` with empty prefixLibravatar Patrick Steinhardt1-1/+1
Previous to commit 5d8f084a5 (pathspec: simpler logic to prefix original pathspec elements, 2017-01-04), we were always using the computed `match` variable to perform pathspec matching whenever `PATHSPEC_PREFIX_ORIGIN` is set. This is for example useful when passing the parsed pathspecs to other commands, as the computed `match` may contain a pathspec relative to the repository root. The commit changed this logic to only do so when we do have an actual prefix and when literal pathspecs are deactivated. But this change may actually break some commands which expect passed pathspecs to be relative to the repository root. One such case is `git add --patch`, which now fails when using relative paths from a subdirectory. For example if executing "git add -p ../foo.c" in a subdirectory, the `git-add--interactive` command will directly pass "../foo.c" to `git-ls-files`. As ls-files is executed at the repository's root, the command will notice that "../foo.c" is outside the repository and fail. Fix the issue by again using the computed `match` variable when `PATHSPEC_PREFIX_ORIGIN` is set and global literal pathspecs are deactivated. Note that in contrast to previous behavior, we will now always call `prefix_magic` regardless of whether a prefix is actually set. But this is the right thing to do: when the `match` variable has been resolved to the repository's root, it will be set to an empty string. When passing the empty string directly to other commands, it will result in a warning regarding deprecated empty pathspecs. By always adding the prefix magic, we will end up with at least the string ":(prefix:0)" and thus avoid the warning.

2017-03-13pathspec: allow escaped query valuesLibravatar Brandon Williams1-4/+48
In our own .gitattributes file we have attributes such as: *.[ch] whitespace=indent,trail,space When querying for attributes we want to be able to ask for the exact value, i.e. git ls-files :(attr:whitespace=indent,trail,space) should work, but the commas are used in the attr magic to introduce the next attr, such that this query currently fails with fatal: Invalid pathspec magic 'trail' in ':(attr:whitespace=indent,trail,space)' This change allows escaping characters by a backslash, such that the query git ls-files :(attr:whitespace=indent\,trail\,space) will match all path that have the value "indent,trail,space" for the whitespace attribute. To accomplish this, we need to modify two places. First `parse_long_magic` needs to not stop early upon seeing a comma or closing paren that is escaped. As a second step we need to remove any escaping from the attr value.

2017-01-09pathspec: give better message for submodule related pathspec errorLibravatar Stefan Beller1-2/+33
Every once in a while someone complains to the mailing list to have run into this weird assertion[1]. The usual response from the mailing list is link to old discussions[2], and acknowledging the problem stating it is known. This patch accomplishes two things: 1. Switch assert() to die("BUG") to give a more readable message. 2. Take one of the cases where we hit a BUG and turn it into a normal "there was something wrong with the input" message. This assertion triggered for cases where there wasn't a programming bug, but just bogus input. In particular, if the user asks for a pathspec that is inside a submodule, we shouldn't assert() or die("BUG"); we should tell the user their request is bogus. The only reason we did not check for it, is the expensive nature of such a check, so callers avoid setting the flag PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE. However when we die due to bogus input, the expense of CPU cycles spent outweighs the user wondering what went wrong, so run that check unconditionally before dying with a more generic error message. Note: There is a case (e.g. "git -C submodule add .") in which we call strip_submodule_slash_expensive, as git-add requests it via the flag PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE, but the assert used to trigger nevertheless, because the flag PATHSPEC_LITERAL was not set, such that we executed if (item->nowildcard_len < prefixlen) item->nowildcard_len = prefixlen; and prefixlen was not adapted (e.g. it was computed from "submodule/") So in the die_inside_submodule_path function we also need handle paths, that were stripped before, i.e. are the exact submodule path. This is why the conditions in die_inside_submodule_path are slightly different than in strip_submodule_slash_expensive.

2016-06-22pathspec: warn on empty strings as pathspecLibravatar Emily Xie1-2/+9
An empty string as a pathspec element matches all paths. A buggy script, however, could accidentally assign an empty string to a variable that then gets passed to a Git command invocation, e.g.: path=... compute a path to be removed in $path ... git rm -r "$paht" which would unintentionally remove all paths in the current directory. The fix for this issue requires a two-step approach. As there may be existing scripts that knowingly use empty strings in this manner, the first step simply gives a warning that (1) tells that an empty string will become an invalid pathspec element and (2) asks the user to use "." if they mean to match all. For step two, a follow-up patch several release cycles later will remove the warning and throw an error instead. This patch is the first step.

2016-06-02pathspec: rename free_pathspec() to clear_pathspec()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The function takes a pointer to a pathspec structure, and releases the resources held by it, but does not free() the structure itself. Such a function should be called "clear", not "free". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-02-22convert trivial cases to ALLOC_ARRAYLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+3
Each of these cases can be converted to use ALLOC_ARRAY or REALLOC_ARRAY, which has two advantages: 1. It automatically checks the array-size multiplication for overflow. 2. It always uses sizeof(*array) for the element-size, so that it can never go out of sync with the declared type of the array.

* maint: use xmemdupz() to allocate copies of strings given by start and length use xcalloc() to allocate zero-initialized memory
2014-07-21use xcalloc() to allocate zero-initialized memoryLibravatar René Scharfe1-2/+1
Use xcalloc() instead of xmalloc() followed by memset() to allocate and zero out memory because it's shorter and avoids duplicating the function parameters. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
