2008-02-24Optimize peel_ref for the current ref of a for_each_ref callbackLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-5/+20
Currently the only caller of peel_ref is show-ref, which is using this function to show the peeled tag information if it is available from an existing packed-refs file. The call happens during the for_each_ref callback function, so we have the proper struct ref_list already on the call stack but it is not easily available to return the peeled information to the caller. We now save the current struct ref_list item before calling back into the callback function so that future calls to peel_ref from within the callback function can quickly access the current ref. Doing so will save us an lstat() per ref processed as we no longer have to check the filesystem to see if the ref exists as a loose file or is packed. This current ref caching also saves a linear scan of the cached packed refs list. As a micro-optimization we test the address of the passed ref name against the current_ref->name before we go into the much more costly strcmp(). Nearly any caller of peel_ref will be passing us the same string do_for_each_ref passed them, which is current_ref->name. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2008-01-16Be more careful about updating refsLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+19
This makes write_ref_sha1() more careful: it actually checks the SHA1 of the ref it is updating, and refuses to update a ref with an object that it cannot find. Perhaps more importantly, it also refuses to update a branch head with a non-commit object. I don't quite know *how* the stable series maintainers were able to corrupt their repository to have a HEAD that pointed to a tag rather than a commit object, but they did. Which results in a totally broken repository that cannot be cloned or committed on. So make it harder for people to shoot themselves in the foot like that. The test t1400-update-ref.sh is fixed at the same time, as it assumed that the commands involved in the particular test would not care about corrupted repositories whose refs point at nonexistant bogus objects. That assumption does not hold true anymore. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-01-02lock_any_ref_for_update(): reject wildcard return from check_ref_formatLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+18
Recent check_ref_format() returns -3 as well as -1 (general error) and -2 (less than two levels). The caller was explicitly checking for -1, to allow "HEAD" but still needed to disallow bogus refs. This introduces symbolic constants for the return values from check_ref_format() to make them read better and more meaningful. Normal ref creation codepath can still treat non-zero return values as errors. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-12-09Re-fix "builtin-commit: fix --signoff"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
An earlier fix to the said commit was incomplete; it mixed up the meaning of the flag parameter passed to the internal fmt_ident() function, so this corrects it. git_author_info() and git_committer_info() can be told to issue a warning when no usable user information is found, and optionally can be told to error out. Operations that actually use the information to record a new commit or a tag will still error out, but the caller to leave reflog record will just silently use bogus user information. Not warning on misconfigured user information while writing a reflog entry is somewhat debatable, but it is probably nicer to the users to silently let it pass, because the only information you are losing is who checked out the branch. * git_author_info() and git_committer_info() used to take 1 (positive int) to error out with a warning on misconfiguration; this is now signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME. * These functions used to take -1 (negative int) to warn but continue; this is now signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_WARN_ON_NO_NAME. * fmt_ident() function implements the above error reporting behaviour common to git_author_info() and git_committer_info(). A symbolic constant IDENT_NO_DATE can be or'ed in to the flag parameter to make it return only the "Name <email@address.xz>". * fmt_name() is a thin wrapper around fmt_ident() that always passes IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME and IDENT_NO_DATE.

2007-11-18refactor fetch's ref matching to use refname_match()Libravatar Steffen Prohaska1-0/+7
The old rules used by fetch were coded as a series of ifs. The old rules are: 1) match full refname if it starts with "refs/" or matches "HEAD" 2) verify that full refname starts with "refs/" 3) match abbreviated name in "refs/" if it starts with "heads/", "tags/", or "remotes/". 4) match abbreviated name in "refs/heads/" This is replaced by the new rules a) match full refname b) match abbreviated name prefixed with "refs/" c) match abbreviated name prefixed with "refs/heads/" The details of the new rules are different from the old rules. We no longer verify that the full refname starts with "refs/". The new rule (a) matches any full string. The old rules (1) and (2) were stricter. Now, the caller is responsible for using sensible full refnames. This should be the case for the current code. The new rule (b) is less strict than old rule (3). The new rule accepts abbreviated names that start with a non-standard prefix below "refs/". Despite this modifications the new rules should handle all cases as expected. Two tests are added to verify that fetch does not resolve short tags or HEAD in remotes. We may even think about loosening the rules a bit more and unify them with the rev-parse rules. This would be done by replacing ref_ref_fetch_rules with ref_ref_parse_rules. Note, the two new test would break.

2007-11-18add refname_match()Libravatar Steffen Prohaska1-0/+24
We use at least two rulesets for matching abbreviated refnames with full refnames (starting with 'refs/'). git-rev-parse and git-fetch use slightly different rules. This commit introduces a new function refname_match (const char *abbrev_name, const char *full_name, const char **rules). abbrev_name is expanded using the rules and matched against full_name. If a match is found the function returns true. rules is a NULL-terminate list of format patterns with "%.*s", for example: const char *ref_rev_parse_rules[] = { "%.*s", "refs/%.*s", "refs/tags/%.*s", "refs/heads/%.*s", "refs/remotes/%.*s", "refs/remotes/%.*s/HEAD", NULL }; Asterisks are included in the format strings because this is the form required in sha1_name.c. Sharing the list with the functions there is a good idea to avoid duplicating the rules. Hopefully this facilitates unified matching rules in the future. This commit makes the rules used by rev-parse for resolving refs to sha1s available for string comparison. Before this change, the rules were buried in get_sha1*() and dwim_ref(). A follow-up commit will refactor the rules used by fetch. refname_match() will be used for matching refspecs in git-send-pack. Thanks to Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org> for pointing out that ref_matches_abbrev in remote.c solves a similar problem and care should be taken to avoid confusion.

This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory. On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior. Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the -Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t(). In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms detect the wrapping and die if such a file is accessed. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
