2011-06-16Fix typo: existant->existentLibravatar Dmitry Ivankov1-1/+1

2011-06-05checkout -b <name>: correctly detect existing branchLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+6
When create a new branch, we fed "refs/heads/<proposed name>" as a string to get_sha1() and expected it to fail when a branch already exists. The right way to check if a ref exists is to check with resolve_ref(). A naïve solution that might appear attractive but does not work is to forbid slashes in get_describe_name() but that will not work. A describe name is is in the form of "ANYTHING-g<short sha1>", and that ANYTHING part comes from a original tag name used in the repository the user ran the describe command. A sick user could have a confusing hierarchical tag whose name is "refs/heads/foobar" (stored as refs/tags/refs/heads/foobar") to generate a describe name "refs/heads/foobar-6-g02ac983", and we should be able to use that name to refer to the object whose name is 02ac983.

2010-07-07fix git branch -m in presence of cross devicesLibravatar Pierre Habouzit1-6/+15
When you have for example a bare repository stored on NFS, and that you create new workdirs locally (using contrib's git-new-workdir), logs/refs is a symlink to a different device. Hence when the reflogs are renamed, all must happen below logs/refs or one gets cross device rename errors like: git branch -m foo error: unable to move logfile logs/refs/heads/master to tmp-renamed-log: Invalid cross-device link fatal: Branch rename failed The fix is hence to use logs/refs/.tmp-renamed-log as a temporary log name, instead of just tmp-renamed-log.

2010-06-12log_ref_setup: don't return stack-allocated arrayLibravatar Thomas Rast1-14/+12
859c301 (refs: split log_ref_write logic into log_ref_setup, 2010-05-21) refactors the stack allocation of the log_file array into the new log_ref_setup() function, but passes it back to the caller. Since the original intent seems to have been to split the work between log_ref_setup and log_ref_write, make it the caller's responsibility to allocate the buffer.

Unfortunately, there are still plenty of production systems with vendor compilers that choke unless all compound declarations can be determined statically at compile time, for example hpux10.20 (I can provide a comprehensive list of our supported platforms that exhibit this problem if necessary). This patch simply breaks apart any compound declarations with dynamic initialisation expressions, and moves the initialisation until after the last declaration in the same block, in all the places necessary to have the offending compilers accept the code.

* jc/maint-refs-dangling: refs: ref entry with NULL sha1 is can be a dangling symref
2010-03-15refs: ref entry with NULL sha1 is can be a dangling symrefLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+7
Brandon Casey noticed that t5505 had accidentally broken its && chain, hiding inconsistency between the code that writes the warning to the standard output and the test that expects to see the warning on the standard error, which was introduced by f8948e2 (remote prune: warn dangling symrefs, 2009-02-08). It turns out that the issue is deeper than that. After f8948e2, a symref that is dangling is marked with a NULL sha1, and the idea of using NULL sha1 to mean a deleted ref was scrapped, but somehow a follow-up eafb452 (do_one_ref(): null_sha1 check is not about broken ref, 2009-07-22) incorrectly reorganized do_one_ref(), still thinking NULL sha1 is never used in the code. Fix this by: - adopt Brandon's fix to t5505 test; - introduce REF_BROKEN flag to mark a ref that fails to resolve (dangling symref); - move the check for broken ref back inside the "if we are skipping dangling refs" code block.

2010-03-13for_each_recent_reflog_ent(): use strbuf, fix offset handlingLibravatar René Scharfe1-10/+12
As Vladimir reported, "git log -g refs/stash" surprisingly showed the reflog of HEAD if the message in the reflog file was too long. To fix this, convert for_each_recent_reflog_ent() to use strbuf_getwholeline() instead of fgets(), for safety and to avoid any size limits for reflog entries. Also reverse the logic of the part of the function that only looks at file tails. It used to close the file if fgets() succeeded. The following fgets() call in the while loop was likely to fail in this case, too, so passing an offset to for_each_recent_reflog_ent() never worked. Change it to error out if strbuf_getwholeline() fails instead.

2009-07-22do_one_ref(): null_sha1 check is not about broken refLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+3
f8948e2 (remote prune: warn dangling symrefs, 2009-02-08) introduced a more dangerous variant of for_each_ref() family that skips the check for dangling refs, but it also made another unrelated check optional by mistake. The check to see if a ref points at 0{40} is not about brokenness, but is about a possible future plan to represent a deleted ref by writing 40 "0" in a loose ref when there is a stale version of the same ref already in .git/packed-refs, so that we can implement deletion of a ref without having to rewrite the packed refs file excluding the ref being deleted. This check has to live outside of the conditional. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-05-25lock_ref: inform callers of unavailable refLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
One of the ways that locking might fail is that there is a DF conflict between two refs (e.g., you want to lock "foo/bar" but "foo" already exists). In this case, we return an error, but there is no way for the caller to know the specific problem. This patch sets errno to ENOTDIR, which is the most sensible code. It's what we would see if the refs were stored purely in the filesystem (but these days we must check the namespace manually due to packed refs).

2009-04-07make get_short_ref a public functionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+99
Often we want to shorten a full ref name to something "prettier" to show a user. For example, "refs/heads/master" is often shown simply as "master", or "refs/remotes/origin/master" is shown as "origin/master". Many places in the code use a very simple formula: skip common prefixes like refs/heads, refs/remotes, etc. This is codified in the prettify_ref function. for-each-ref has a more correct (but more expensive) approach: consider the ref lookup rules, and try shortening as much as possible while remaining unambiguous.

2009-03-24Don't permit ref/branch names to end with ".lock"Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+3
We already skip over loose refs under $GIT_DIR/refs if the name ends with ".lock", so creating a branch named "foo.lock" will not appear in the output of "git branch", "git for-each-ref", nor will its commit be considered reachable by "git rev-list --all". In the latter case this is especially evil, as it may cause repository corruption when objects reachable only through such a ref are deleted by "git prune". It should be reasonably safe to deny use of ".lock" as a ref suffix. In prior versions of Git such branches would be "phantom branches"; you can create it, but you can't see it in "git branch" output. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2009-03-24check_ref_format(): tighten refname rulesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+9
This changes the rules for refnames to forbid: (1) a refname that contains "@{" in it. Some people and foreign SCM converter may have named their branches as frotz@24 and we still want to keep supporting it. However, "git branch frotz@{24}" is a disaster. It cannot even checked out because "git checkout frotz@{24}" will interpret it as "detach the HEAD at twenty-fourth reflog entry of the frotz branch". (2) a refname that ends with a dot. We already reject a path component that begins with a dot, primarily to avoid ambiguous range interpretation. If we allowed ".B" as a valid ref, it is unclear if "A...B" means "in dot-B but not in A" or "either in A or B but not in both". But for this to be complete, we need also to forbid "A." to avoid "in B but not in A-dot". This was not a problem in the original range notation, but we should have added this restriction when three-dot notation was introduced. Unlike "no dot at the beginning of any path component" rule, this rule does not have to be "no dot at the end of any path component", because you cannot abbreviate the tail end away, similar to you can say "dot-B" to mean "refs/heads/dot-B". For these reasons, it is not likely people created branches with these names on purpose, but we have allowed such names to be used for quite some time, and it is possible that people created such branches by mistake or by accident. To help people with branches with such unfortunate names to recover, we still allow "branch -d 'bad.'" to delete such branches, and also allow "branch -m bad. good" to rename them.
