2006-08-12Better error message when we are unable to lock the index fileLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+1
Most of the callers except the one in refs.c use the function to update the index file. Among the index writers, everybody except write-tree dies if they cannot open it for writing. This gives the function an extra argument, to tell it to die when it cannot create a new file as the lockfile. The only caller that does not have to die is write-tree, because updating the index for the cache-tree part is optional and not being able to do so does not affect the correctness. I think we do not have to be so careful and make the failure into die() the same way as other callers, but that would be a different patch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-08-11drop length argument of has_extensionLibravatar Rene Scharfe1-1/+1
As Fredrik points out the current interface of has_extension() is potentially confusing. Its parameters include both a nul-terminated string and a length-limited string. This patch drops the length argument, requiring two nul-terminated strings; all callsites are updated. I checked that all of them indeed provide nul-terminated strings. Filenames need to be nul-terminated anyway if they are to be passed to open() etc. The performance penalty of the additional strlen() is negligible compared to the system calls which inevitably surround has_extension() calls. Additionally, change has_extension() to use size_t inside instead of int, as that is the exact type strlen() returns and memcmp() expects.

2006-07-28Display an error from update-ref if target ref name is invalid.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-0/+5
Alex Riesen (raa.lkml@gmail.com) recently observed that git branch would fail with no error message due to unexpected situations with regards to refs. For example, if .git/refs/heads/gu is a file but "git branch -b refs/heads/gu/fixa HEAD" was invoked by the user it would fail silently due to refs/heads/gu being a file and not a directory. This change adds a test for trying to create a ref within a directory that is actually currently a file, and adds error printing within the ref locking routine should the resolve operation fail. The error printing code probably belongs at this level of the library as other failures within the ref locking, writing and logging code are also currently at this level of the code.

2006-07-10Allow user.name and user.email to drive reflog entry.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-1/+0
Apparently calling setup_ident() after git_config causes the user.name and user.email values read from the config file to be replaced with the data obtained from the host. This means that users who have setup their email address in user.email will instead be writing reflog entries with their hostname. Moving setup_ident() to before git_config in update-ref resolves this ordering problem. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-06-09shared repository - add a few missing calls to adjust_shared_perm().Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
There were a few calls to adjust_shared_perm() that were missing: - init-db creates refs, refs/heads, and refs/tags before reading from templates that could specify sharedrepository in the config file; - updating config file created it under user's umask without adjusting; - updating refs created it under user's umask without adjusting; - switching branches created .git/HEAD under user's umask without adjusting. This moves adjust_shared_perm() from sha1_file.c to path.c, since a few SIMPLE_PROGRAM need to call repository configuration functions which in turn need to call adjust_shared_perm(). sha1_file.c needs to link with SHA1 computation library which is usually not linked to SIMPLE_PROGRAM.

2006-06-06ref-log: style fixes.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+11
A few style fixes to get the code in line with the rest. - asterisk to make a type a pointer to something goes in front of the variable, not at the end of the base type. E.g. a pointer to an integer is "int *ip", not "int* ip". - open parenthesis for function parameter list, unlike syntactic constructs, comes immediately after the function name. E.g. "if (foo) bar();" not "if(foo) bar ();". - "else" does not come on the same line as the closing brace of corresponding "if". The style is mostly a matter of personal taste, and people may disagree, but consistency is important. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-06-06refs.c: convert it to use lockfile interface.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-11/+10
This updates the ref locking code to use creat-rename locking code we use for the index file, so that it can borrow the code to clean things up upon signals and program termination. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-19Correct force_write bug in refs.cLibravatar Shawn Pearce1-1/+1
My earlier attempt at forcing a write for non-existant refs worked; it forced a write for pretty much all refs. This corrects the condition to only force a write for refs which don't exist yet. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-19Log ref updates made by fetch.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-2/+3
If a ref is changed by http-fetch, local-fetch or ssh-fetch record the change and the remote URL/name in the log for the ref. This requires loading the config file to check logAllRefUpdates. Also fixed a bug in the ref lock generation; the log file name was not being produced right due to a bad prefix length. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-05-19Force writing ref if it doesn't exist.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-1/+3
Normally we try to skip writing a ref if its value hasn't changed but in the special case that the ref doesn't exist but the new value is going to be 0{40} then force writing the ref anyway. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-19General ref log reading improvements.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-14/+40
Corrected the log starting time displayed in the error message (as it was always showing the epoch due to a bad input to strtoul). Improved the log parser so we only scan backwards towards the '\n' from the end of the prior log; during this scan the last '>' is remembered to improve performance (rather than scanning forward to it). If the log record matched is the last log record in the file only use its new sha1 value if the date matches exactly; otherwise we leave the passed in sha1 alone as it already contains the current value of the ref. This way lookups of dates later than the log end to stick with the current ref value in case the ref was updated without logging. If it looks like someone changed the ref without logging it and we are going to return the sha1 which should have been valid during the missing period then warn the user that there might be log data missing and thus their query result may not be accurate. The check isn't perfect as its just based on comparing the old and new sha1 values between the two log records but its better than not checking at all. Implemented test cases based on git-rev-parse for most of the boundary conditions. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-17Fix ref log parsing so it works properly.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-1/+1
The log parser was only ever matching the last log record due to calling strtoul on "> 1136091609" rather than " 1136091609". Also once a match for '@' has been found after the name of the ref there is no point in looking for another '@' within the remaining text. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-17Support 'master@2 hours ago' syntaxLibravatar Shawn Pearce1-0/+53
Extended sha1 expressions may now include date specifications which indicate a point in time within the local repository's history. If the ref indicated to the left of '@' has a log in $GIT_DIR/logs/<ref> then the value of the ref at the time indicated by the specification is obtained from the ref's log. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-05-17Log ref updates to logs/refs/<ref>Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-0/+56
If config parameter core.logAllRefUpdates is true or the log file already exists then append a line to ".git/logs/refs/<ref>" whenever git-update-ref <ref> is executed. Each log line contains the following information: oldsha1 <SP> newsha1 <SP> committer <LF> where committer is the current user, date, time and timezone in the standard GIT ident format. If the caller is unable to append to the log file then git-update-ref will fail without updating <ref>. An optional message may be included in the log line with the -m flag. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Created 'struct ref_lock' to contain the data necessary to perform a ref update.

This should force git-daemon administrator's job a bit harder because the exact paths need to be given in the whitelist, but at the same time makes the auditing easier.

This adds the counterpart of git-update-ref that lets you read and create "symbolic refs". By default it uses a symbolic link to represent ".git/HEAD -> refs/heads/master", but it can be compiled to use the textfile symbolic ref. The places that did 'readlink .git/HEAD' and 'ln -s refs/heads/blah .git/HEAD' have been converted to use new git-symbolic-ref command, so that they can deal with either implementation.

2005-10-01[PATCH] Allow reading "symbolic refs" that point to other refsLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-33/+40
This extends the ref reading to understand a "symbolic ref": a ref file that starts with "ref: " and points to another ref file, and thus introduces the notion of ref aliases. This is in preparation of allowing HEAD to eventually not be a symlink, but one of these symbolic refs instead.

2005-08-16[PATCH] Make do_each_ref() follow symlinks.Libravatar Matt Draisey1-1/+1
Because there is no reason not to, and this makes things a bit safer when running "git prune". [jc: I do not necessarily agree with the reasoning of the original author that it is a good way to keep "git prune" from stomping on objects to have a symlink that points at .git/refs of the repository A in the .git/refs of the repository B when repository A borrows object database from repository B. For one thing, the object database that everybody borrows objects from may not even have its own .git/refs hierarchy. Come to think of it, maybe we should disallow symlink inside .git/refs hierarchy; we update the files there by creat/rename pair, so having symlinks would not work anyway when you do anything that would update them.] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-07-08Make "for_each_ref()" always use the "canonical" refname.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-8/+7
It always uses a git-relative pathname, ie "refs/heads/master" instead of ".git/refs/heads/master" or whatever your GIT_DIR might be. This way when we send refs back-and-forth between repositories, there's never any question about GIT_DIR on either side.

2005-07-05Add "git_path()" and "head_ref()" helper functions.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+9
"git_path()" returns a static pathname pointer into the git directory using a printf-like format specifier. "head_ref()" works like "for_each_ref()", except for just the HEAD.
