2007-02-20Mechanical conversion to use prefixcmp()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including idiotic conversions like if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3)) => if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo"))) This was done by using this script in px.perl #!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) { s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|; } if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) { s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|; } and running: $ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-28Don't force everybody to call setup_ident().Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
Back when only handful commands that created commit and tag were the only users of committer identity information, it made sense to explicitly call setup_ident() to pre-fill the default value from the gecos information. But it is much simpler for programs to make the call automatic when get_ident() is called these days, since many more programs want to use the information when updating the reflog.

2007-01-25Allow non-developer to clone, checkout and fetch more easily.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+0
The code that uses committer_info() in reflog can barf and die whenever it is asked to update a ref. And I do not think calling ignore_missing_committer_name() upfront like recent receive-pack did in the aplication is a reasonable workaround. What the patch does. - git_committer_info() takes one parameter. It used to be "if this is true, then die() if the name is not available due to bad GECOS, otherwise issue a warning once but leave the name empty". The reason was because we wanted to prevent bad commits from being made by git-commit-tree (and its callers). The value 0 is only used by "git var -l". Now it takes -1, 0 or 1. When set to -1, it does not complain but uses the pw->pw_name when name is not available. Existing 0 and 1 values mean the same thing as they used to mean before. 0 means issue warnings and leave it empty, 1 means barf and die. - ignore_missing_committer_name() and its existing caller (receive-pack, to set the reflog) have been removed. - git-format-patch, to come up with the phoney message ID when asked to thread, now passes -1 to git_committer_info(). This codepath uses only the e-mail part, ignoring the name. It used to barf and die. The other call in the same program when asked to add signed-off-by line based on committer identity still passes 1 to make sure it barfs instead of adding a bogus s-o-b line. - log_ref_write in refs.c, to come up with the name to record who initiated the ref update in the reflog, passes -1. It used to barf and die. The last change means that git-update-ref, git-branch, and commit walker backends can now be used in a repository with reflog by somebody who does not have the user identity required to make a commit. They all used to barf and die. I've run tests and all of them seem to pass, and also tried "git clone" as a user whose GECOS is empty -- git clone works again now (it was broken when reflog was enabled by default). But this definitely needs extra sets of eyeballs. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-12-30Use /dev/null for update hook stdin.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-2/+4
Currently the update hook invoked by receive-pack has its stdin connected to the pushing client. The hook shouldn't attempt to read from this stream, and doing so may consume data that was meant for receive-pack. Instead we should give the update hook /dev/null as its stdin, ensuring that it always receives EOF and doesn't disrupt the protocol if it attempts to read any data. The post-update hook is similar, as it gets invoked with /dev/null on stdin to prevent the hook from reading data from the client. Previously we had invoked it with stdout also connected to /dev/null, throwing away anything on stdout, to prevent client protocol errors. Instead we should redirect stdout to stderr, like we do with the update hook. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-30Redirect update hook stdout to stderr.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+2
If an update hook outputs to stdout then that output will be sent back over the wire to the push client as though it were part of the git protocol. This tends to cause protocol errors on the client end of the connection, as the hook output is not expected in that context. Most hook developers work around this by making sure their hook outputs everything to stderr. But hooks shouldn't need to perform such special behavior. Instead we can just dup stderr to stdout prior to invoking the update hook. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-30Remove unnecessary argc parameter from run_command_v.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-2/+2
The argc parameter is never used by the run_command_v family of functions. Instead they require that the passed argv[] be NULL terminated so they can rely on the operating system's execvp function to correctly pass the arguments to the new process. Making the caller pass the argc is just confusing, as the caller could be mislead into believing that the argc might take precendece over the argv, or that the argv does not need to be NULL terminated. So goodbye argc. Don't come back. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include system header files. (1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and xdelta code are exempt from the following rules; (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h, builtin.h, pkt-line.h); (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h" need not be included in individual C source files. (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem specific header files (e.g. expat.h). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-17Default GIT_COMMITTER_NAME to login name in recieve-pack.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+2
If GIT_COMMITTER_NAME is not available in receive-pack but reflogs are enabled we would normally die out with an error message asking the user to correct their environment settings. Now that reflogs are enabled by default in (what we guessed to be) non-bare Git repositories this may cause problems for some users who don't have their full name in the gecos field and who don't have access to the remote system to correct the problem. So rather than die()'ing out in receive-pack when we try to log a ref change and have no committer name we default to the username, as obtained from the host's password database.

2006-12-06change the unpack limit treshold to a saner valueLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+1
Currently the treshold is 5000. The likelihood of this value to ever be crossed for a single push is really small making it not really useful. The optimal treshold for a pure space saving on a filesystem with 4kb blocks is 3. However this is likely to create many small packs concentrating a large number of files in a single directory compared to the same objects which are spread over 256 directories when loose. This means we would need 512 objects per pack on average to approximagte the same directory cost (a pack has 2 files because of the index). But 512 is a really high value just like 5000 since most pushes are unlikely to have that many objects. So let's try with a value of 100 which should have a good balance between small pushes going to be exploded into loose objects and large pushes kept as whole packs. This is not a replacement for periodic repacks of course. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

This allows you to say git send-pack $URL :refs/heads/$branch to delete the named remote branch.

2006-11-03Teach receive-pack how to keep pack files based on object count.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-19/+79
Since keeping a pushed pack or exploding it into loose objects should be a local repository decision this teaches receive-pack to decide if it should call unpack-objects or index-pack --stdin --fix-thin based on the setting of receive.unpackLimit and the number of objects contained in the received pack. If the number of objects (hdr_entries) in the received pack is below the value of receive.unpackLimit (which is 5000 by default) then we unpack-objects as we have in the past. If the hdr_entries >= receive.unpackLimit then we call index-pack and ask it to include our pid and hostname in the .keep file to make it easier to identify why a given pack has been kept in the repository. Currently this leaves every received pack as a kept pack. We really don't want that as received packs will tend to be small. Instead we want to delete the .keep file automatically after all refs have been updated. That is being left as room for future improvement. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

This is a long overdue fix to the API for for_each_ref() family of functions. It allows the callers to specify a callback data pointer, so that the caller does not have to use static variables to communicate with the callback funciton. The updated for_each_ref() family takes a function of type int (*fn)(const char *, const unsigned char *, void *) and a void pointer as parameters, and calls the function with the name of the ref and its SHA-1 with the caller-supplied void pointer as parameters.

Modifying PATH is not desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH. - git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands. - exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in the following directories: 1. --exec-path (as used by "git") 2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable. 3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)). - git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to invoke "git-foo" commands.

2005-07-31[PATCH] Added hook in git-receive-packLibravatar Josef Weidendorfer1-30/+58
Just before updating a ref, $GIT_DIR/hooks/update refname old-sha1 new-sha1 is called if executable. The hook can decline the ref to be updated by exiting with a non-zero status, or allow it to be updated by exiting with a zero status. The mechanism also allows e.g sending of a mail with pushed commits on the remote repository. Documentation update with an example hook is included. jc: The credits of the basic idea and initial implementation go to Josef, but I ended up rewriting major parts of his patch, so bugs are all mine. Also I changed the semantics for the hook from his original version (which were post-update hook) so that the hook can optionally decline to update the ref, and also can be used to implement the overall cleanups. The latter was primarily to implement a suggestion from Linus that calling update-server-info should be made optional. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-07-23[PATCH] Add update-server-info.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
The git-update-server-info command prepares informational files to help clients discover the contents of a repository, and pull from it via a dumb transport protocols. Currently, the following files are produced. - The $repo/info/refs file lists the name of heads and tags available in the $repo/refs/ directory, along with their SHA1. This can be used by git-ls-remote command running on the client side. - The $repo/info/rev-cache file describes the commit ancestry reachable from references in the $repo/refs/ directory. This file is in an append-only binary format to make the server side friendly to rsync mirroring scheme, and can be read by git-show-rev-cache command. - The $repo/objects/info/pack file lists the name of the packs available, the interdependencies among them, and the head commits and tags contained in them. Along with the other two files, this is designed to help clients to make smart pull decisions. The git-receive-pack command is changed to invoke it at the end, so just after a push to a public repository finishes via "git push", the server info is automatically updated. In addition, building of the rev-cache file can be done by a standalone git-build-rev-cache command separately.
