2012-08-10git svn: reset invalidates the memoized mergeinfo cachesLibravatar Peter Baumann1-2/+25
Since v1.7.0-rc2~11 (git-svn: persistent memoization, 2010-01-30), git-svn has maintained some private per-repository caches in .git/svn/.caches to avoid refetching and recalculating some mergeinfo-related information with every 'git svn fetch'. This memoization can cause problems, e.g consider the following case: SVN repo: ... - a - b - c - m <- trunk \ / d - e <- branch1 The Git import of the above repo is at commit 'a' and doesn't know about the branch1. In case of an 'git svn rebase', only the trunk of the SVN repo is imported. During the creation of the git commit 'm', git svn uses the svn:mergeinfo property and tries to find the corresponding git commit 'e' to create 'm' with 'c' and 'e' as parents. But git svn rebase only imports the current branch so commit 'e' is not imported. Therefore git svn fails to create commit 'm' as a merge commit, because one of its parents is not known to git. The imported history looks like this: ... - a - b - c - m <- trunk A later 'git svn fetch' to import all branches can't rewrite the commit 'm' to add 'e' as a parent and to make it a real git merge commit, because it was already imported. That's why the imported history misses the merge and looks like this: ... - a - b - c - m <- trunk \ d - e <- branch1 Right now the only known workaround for importing 'm' as a merge is to force reimporting 'm' again from SVN, e.g. via $ git svn reset --revision $(git find-rev $c) $ git svn fetch Sadly, this is where the behavior has regressed: git svn reset doesn't invalidate the old mergeinfo cache, which is no longer valid for the reimport, which leads to 'm' beeing imprted with only 'c' as parent. As solution to this problem, this commit invalidates the mergeinfo cache to force correct recalculation of the parents. During development of this patch, several ways for invalidating the cache where considered. One of them is to use Memoize::flush_cache, which will call the CLEAR method on the underlying Memoize persistency implementation. Sadly, neither Memoize::Storable nor the newer Memoize::YAML module introduced in 68f532f4ba888 could optionally be used implement the CLEAR method, so this is not an option. Reseting the internal hash used to store the memoized values has the same problem, because it calls the non-existing CLEAR method of the underlying persistency layer, too. Considering this and taking into account the different implementations of the memoization modules, where Memoize::Storable is not in our control, implementing the missing CLEAR method is not an option, at least not if Memoize::Storable is still used. Therefore the easiest solution to clear the cache is to delete the files on disk in 'git svn reset'. Normally, deleting the files behind the back of the memoization module would be problematic, because the in-memory representation would still exist and contain wrong data. Fortunately, the memoization is active in memory only for a small portion of the code. Invalidating the cache by deleting the files on disk if it isn't active should be safe.

Continuing to move towards getting everything canonicalizing the same way. * Git::SVN->init_remote_config and Git::SVN::Ra->minimize_url both have to canonicalize the same way else init_remote_config will incorrectly think they're different URLs causing t9107-git-svn-migrate.sh to fail.

2012-08-02git-svn: attempt to mimic SVN 1.7 URL canonicalizationLibravatar Michael G. Schwern2-4/+19
Previously, our URL canonicalization didn't do much of anything. Now it actually escapes and collapses slashes. This is mostly a cut & paste of escape_url from git-svn. This is closer to how SVN 1.7's canonicalization behaves. Doing it with 1.6 lets us chase down some problems caused by more effective canonicalization without having to deal with all the other 1.7 issues on top of that. * Remote URLs have to be canonicalized otherwise Git::SVN->find_existing_remote will think they're different. * The SVN remote is now written to the git config canonicalized. That should be ok. Adjust a test to account for that. [ew: commit title] Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

2012-06-10git-svn: use YAML format for mergeinfo cache when possibleLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-0/+94
Since v1.7.0-rc2~11 (git-svn: persistent memoization, 2010-01-30), git-svn has maintained some private per-repository caches in .git/svn/.caches to avoid refetching and recalculating some mergeinfo-related information with every "git svn fetch". These caches use the 'nstore' format from the perl core module Storable, which can be read and written quickly and was designed for transfer over the wire (the 'n' stands for 'network'). This format is endianness-independent and independent of floating-point representation. Unfortunately the format is *not* independent of the perl version --- new perl versions will write files that very old perl cannot read. Worse, the format is not independent of the size of a perl integer. So if you toggle perl's use64bitint compile-time option, then using 'git svn fetch' on your old repositories produces errors like this: Byte order is not compatible at ../../lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into ../../lib/auto/Storable/_retrieve.al) line 380, at /usr/share/perl/5.12/Memoize/Storable.pm line 21 That is, upgrading perl to a version that uses use64bitint for the first time makes git-svn suddenly refuse to fetch in existing repositories. Removing .git/svn/.caches lets git-svn recover. It's time to switch to a platform independent serializer backend with better compatibility guarantees. This patch uses YAML::Any. Other choices were considered: - thawing data from Data::Dumper involves "eval". Doing that without creating a security risk is fussy. - the JSON API works on scalars in memory and doesn't provide a standard way to serialize straight to disk. YAML::Any is reasonably fast and has a pleasant API. In most backends, LoadFile() reads the entire file into a scalar anyway and converts it as a second step, but having an interface that allows the deserialization to happen on the fly without a temporary is still a comfort. YAML::Any is not a core perl module, so we take care to use it when and only when it is available. Installations without that module should fall back to using Storable with all its quirks, keeping their cache files in .git/svn/.caches/*.db Installations with YAML peacefully coexist by keeping a separate set of cache files in .git/svn/.caches/*.yaml. In most cases, switching between is a one-time thing, so it doesn't seem worth the complication to migrate existing caches. The upshot: after this patch, as long as YAML::Any is installed you can move your git repository between machines with different perl installations and "git svn fetch" will work fine. If you do not have YAML::Any, the behavior is unchanged (and in particular does not get any worse).

2011-12-05i18n: add infrastructure for translating Git with gettextLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason3-2/+104
Change the skeleton implementation of i18n in Git to one that can show localized strings to users for our C, Shell and Perl programs using either GNU libintl or the Solaris gettext implementation. This new internationalization support is enabled by default. If gettext isn't available, or if Git is compiled with NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease, Git falls back on its current behavior of showing interface messages in English. When using the autoconf script we'll auto-detect if the gettext libraries are installed and act appropriately. This change is somewhat large because as well as adding a C, Shell and Perl i18n interface we're adding a lot of tests for them, and for those tests to work we need a skeleton PO file to actually test translations. A minimal Icelandic translation is included for this purpose. Icelandic includes multi-byte characters which makes it easy to test various edge cases, and it's a language I happen to understand. The rest of the commit message goes into detail about various sub-parts of this commit. = Installation Gettext .mo files will be installed and looked for in the standard $(prefix)/share/locale path. GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR can also be set to override that, but that's only intended to be used to test Git itself. = Perl Perl code that's to be localized should use the new Git::I18n module. It imports a __ function into the caller's package by default. Instead of using the high level Locale::TextDomain interface I've opted to use the low-level (equivalent to the C interface) Locale::Messages module, which Locale::TextDomain itself uses. Locale::TextDomain does a lot of redundant work we don't need, and some of it would potentially introduce bugs. It tries to set the $TEXTDOMAIN based on package of the caller, and has its own hardcoded paths where it'll search for messages. I found it easier just to completely avoid it rather than try to circumvent its behavior. In any case, this is an issue wholly internal Git::I18N. Its guts can be changed later if that's deemed necessary. See <AANLkTilYD_NyIZMyj9dHtVk-ylVBfvyxpCC7982LWnVd@mail.gmail.com> for a further elaboration on this topic. = Shell Shell code that's to be localized should use the git-sh-i18n library. It's basically just a wrapper for the system's gettext.sh. If gettext.sh isn't available we'll fall back on gettext(1) if it's available. The latter is available without the former on Solaris, which has its own non-GNU gettext implementation. We also need to emulate eval_gettext() there. If neither are present we'll use a dumb printf(1) fall-through wrapper. = About libcharset.h and langinfo.h We use libcharset to query the character set of the current locale if it's available. I.e. we'll use it instead of nl_langinfo if HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H is set. The GNU gettext manual recommends using langinfo.h's nl_langinfo(CODESET) to acquire the current character set, but on systems that have libcharset.h's locale_charset() using the latter is either saner, or the only option on those systems. GNU and Solaris have a nl_langinfo(CODESET), FreeBSD can use either, but MinGW and some others need to use libcharset.h's locale_charset() instead. =Credits This patch is based on work by Jeff Epler <jepler@unpythonic.net> who did the initial Makefile / C work, and a lot of comments from the Git mailing list, including Jonathan Nieder, Jakub Narebski, Johannes Sixt, Erik Faye-Lund, Peter Krefting, Junio C Hamano, Thomas Rast and others.
