2014-12-10read_packed_refs: use skip_prefix instead of static arrayLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+2
We want to recognize the packed-refs header and skip to the "traits" part of the line. We currently do it by feeding sizeof() a static const array to strncmp. However, it's a bit simpler to just skip_prefix, which expresses the intention more directly, and without remembering to account for the NUL-terminator in each sizeof() call.

2014-12-10read_packed_refs: use a strbuf for reading linesLibravatar Jeff King1-9/+11
Current code uses a fixed PATH_MAX-sized buffer for reading packed-refs lines. This is a reasonable guess, in the sense that git generally cannot work with refs larger than PATH_MAX. However, there are a few cases where it is not great: 1. Some systems may have a low value of PATH_MAX, but can actually handle larger paths in practice. Fixing this code path probably isn't enough to make them work completely with long refs, but it is a step in the right direction. 2. We use fgets, which will happily give us half a line on the first read, and then the rest of the line on the second. This is probably OK in practice, because our refline parser is careful enough to look for the trailing newline on the first line. The second line may look like a peeled line to us, but since "^" is illegal in refnames, it is not likely to come up. Still, it does not hurt to be more careful.

2014-12-05for_each_reflog_ent_reverse: fix newlines on block boundariesLibravatar Jeff King1-11/+36
When we read a reflog file in reverse, we read whole chunks of BUFSIZ bytes, then loop over the buffer, parsing any lines we find. We find the beginning of each line by looking for the newline from the previous line. If we don't find one, we know that we are either at the beginning of the file, or that we have to read another block. In the latter case, we stuff away what we have into a strbuf, read another block, and continue our parse. But we missed one case here. If we did find a newline, and it is at the beginning of the block, we must also stuff that newline into the strbuf, as it belongs to the block we are about to read. The minimal fix here would be to add this special case to the conditional that checks whether we found a newline. But we can make the flow a little clearer by rearranging a bit: we first handle lines that we are going to show, and then at the end of each loop, stuff away any leftovers if necessary. That lets us fold this special-case in with the more common "we ended in the middle of a line" case. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-11-20lock_ref_sha1_basic: do not die on locking errorsLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-2/+8
lock_ref_sha1_basic is inconsistent about when it calls die() and when it returns NULL to signal an error. This is annoying to any callers that want to recover from a locking error. This seems to be mostly historical accident. It was added in 4bd18c4 (Improve abstraction of ref lock/write., 2006-05-17), which returned an error in all cases except calling safe_create_leading_directories, in which case it died. Later, 40aaae8 (Better error message when we are unable to lock the index file, 2006-08-12) asked hold_lock_file_for_update to die for us, leaving the resolve_ref code-path the only one which returned NULL. We tried to correct that in 5cc3cef (lock_ref_sha1(): do not sometimes error() and sometimes die()., 2006-09-30), by converting all of the die() calls into returns. But we missed the "die" flag passed to the lock code, leaving us inconsistent. This state persisted until e5c223e (lock_ref_sha1_basic(): if locking fails with ENOENT, retry, 2014-01-18). Because of its retry scheme, it does not ask the lock code to die, but instead manually dies with unable_to_lock_die(). We can make this consistent with the other return paths by converting this to use unable_to_lock_message(), and returning NULL. This is safe to do because all callers already needed to check the return value of the function, since it could fail (and return NULL) for other reasons.

Corner-case bugfixes for "git fetch" around reflog handling. * jk/fetch-reflog-df-conflict: ignore stale directories when checking reflog existence fetch: load all default config at startup
2014-11-04ignore stale directories when checking reflog existenceLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
When we update a ref, we have two rules for whether or not we actually update the reflog: 1. If the reflog already exists, we will always append to it. 2. If log_all_ref_updates is set, we will create a new reflog file if necessary. We do the existence check by trying to open the reflog file, either with or without O_CREAT (depending on log_all_ref_updates). If it fails, then we check errno to see what happened. If we were not using O_CREAT and we got ENOENT, the file doesn't exist, and we return success (there isn't a reflog already, and we were not told to make a new one). If we get EISDIR, then there is likely a stale directory that needs to be removed (e.g., there used to be "foo/bar", it was deleted, and the directory "foo" was left. Now we want to create the ref "foo"). If O_CREAT is set, then we catch this case, try to remove the directory, and retry our open. So far so good. But if we get EISDIR and O_CREAT is not set, then we treat this as any other error, which is not right. Like ENOENT, EISDIR is an indication that we do not have a reflog, and we should silently return success (we were not told to create it). Instead, the current code reports this as an error, and we fail to update the ref at all. Note that this is relatively unlikely to happen, as you would have to have had reflogs turned on, and then later turned them off (it could also happen due to a bug in fetch, but that was fixed in the previous commit). However, it's quite easy to fix: we just need to treat EISDIR like ENOENT for the non-O_CREAT case, and silently return (note that this early return means we can also simplify the O_CREAT case). Our new tests cover both cases (O_CREAT and non-O_CREAT). The first one already worked, of course. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-10-15ref_transaction_commit: bail out on failure to remove a refLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+6
When removal of a loose or packed ref fails, bail out instead of trying to finish the transaction. This way, a single error message can be printed (instead of multiple messages being concatenated by mistake) and the operator can try to solve the underlying problem before there is a chance to muck things up even more. In particular, when git fails to remove a ref, git goes on to try to delete the reflog. Exiting early lets us keep the reflog. When git succeeds in deleting a ref A and fails to remove a ref B, it goes on to try to delete both reflogs. It would be better to just remove the reflog for A, but that would be a more invasive change. Failing early means we keep both reflogs, which puts the operator in a good position to understand the problem and recover. A long term goal is to avoid these problems altogether and roll back the transaction on failure. That kind of transactionality will have to wait for a later series (the plan for which is to make all destructive work happen in a single update of the packed-refs file).

2014-10-15refs.c: do not permit err == NULLLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-19/+27
Some functions that take a strbuf argument to append an error treat !err as an indication that the message should be suppressed (e.g., ref_update_reject_duplicates). Others write the message to stderr on !err (e.g., repack_without_refs). Others crash (e.g., ref_transaction_update). Some of these behaviors are for historical reasons and others were accidents. Luckily no callers pass err == NULL any more. Simplify by consistently requiring the strbuf argument.

2014-10-15refs.c: allow listing and deleting badly named refsLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-29/+119
We currently do not handle badly named refs well: $ cp .git/refs/heads/master .git/refs/heads/master.....@\*@\\. $ git branch fatal: Reference has invalid format: 'refs/heads/master.....@*@\.' $ git branch -D master.....@\*@\\. error: branch 'master.....@*@\.' not found. Users cannot recover from a badly named ref without manually finding and deleting the loose ref file or appropriate line in packed-refs. Making that easier will make it easier to tweak the ref naming rules in the future, for example to forbid shell metacharacters like '`' and '"', without putting people in a state that is hard to get out of. So allow "branch --list" to show these refs and allow "branch -d/-D" and "update-ref -d" to delete them. Other commands (for example to rename refs) will continue to not handle these refs but can be changed in later patches. Details: In resolving functions, refuse to resolve refs that don't pass the git-check-ref-format(1) check unless the new RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME flag is passed. Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, refuse to resolve refs that escape the refs/ directory and do not match the pattern [A-Z_]* (think "HEAD" and "MERGE_HEAD"). In locking functions, refuse to act on badly named refs unless they are being deleted and either are in the refs/ directory or match [A-Z_]*. Just like other invalid refs, flag resolved, badly named refs with the REF_ISBROKEN flag, treat them as resolving to null_sha1, and skip them in all iteration functions except for for_each_rawref. Flag badly named refs (but not symrefs pointing to badly named refs) with a REF_BAD_NAME flag to make it easier for future callers to notice and handle them specially. For example, in a later patch for-each-ref will use this flag to detect refs whose names can confuse callers parsing for-each-ref output. In the transaction API, refuse to create or update badly named refs, but allow deleting them (unless they try to escape refs/ and don't match [A-Z_]*).

Since v1.7.9-rc1~10^2 (write_head_info(): handle "extra refs" locally, 2012-01-06), this trick to keep track of ".have" refs that are only valid on the wire and not on the filesystem is not needed any more. Simplify by removing support for the REFNAME_DOT_COMPONENT flag. This means we'll be slightly stricter with invalid refs found in a packed-refs file or during clone. read_loose_refs() already checks for and skips refnames with .components so it is not affected.

Change this to be a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when we want this behaviour. While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output arguments at the end.

2014-10-15refs.c: ref_transaction_commit: distinguish name conflicts from other errorsLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-10/+16
In _commit, ENOTDIR can happen in the call to lock_ref_sha1_basic, either when we lstat the new refname or if the name checking function reports that the same type of conflict happened. In both cases, it means that we can not create the new ref due to a name conflict. Start defining specific return codes for _commit. TRANSACTION_NAME_CONFLICT refers to a failure to create a ref due to a name conflict with another ref. TRANSACTION_GENERIC_ERROR is for all other errors. When "git fetch" is creating refs, name conflicts differ from other errors in that they are likely to be resolved by running "git remote prune <remote>". "git fetch" currently inspects errno to decide whether to give that advice. Once it switches to the transaction API, it can check for TRANSACTION_NAME_CONFLICT instead.

2014-10-15refs.c: pass a list of names to skip to is_refname_availableLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-18/+32
Change is_refname_available to take a list of strings to exclude when checking for conflicts instead of just one single name. We can already exclude a single name for the sake of renames. This generalizes that support. ref_transaction_commit already tracks a set of refs that are being deleted in an array. This array is then used to exclude refs from being written to the packed-refs file. At some stage we will want to change this array to a struct string_list and then we can pass it to is_refname_available via the call to lock_ref_sha1_basic. That will allow us to perform transactions that perform multiple renames as long as there are no conflicts within the starting or ending state. For example, that would allow a single transaction that contains two renames that are both individually conflicting: m -> n/n n -> m/m No functional change intended yet.

Move the check for check_refname_format from lock_any_ref_for_update to lock_ref_sha1_basic. At some later stage we will get rid of lock_any_ref_for_update completely. This has no visible impact to callers except for the inability to lock badly named refs, which is not possible today already for other reasons.(*) Keep lock_any_ref_for_update as a no-op wrapper. It is the public facing version of this interface and keeping it as a separate function will make it easier to experiment with the internal lock_ref_sha1_basic signature. (*) For example, if lock_ref_sha1_basic checks the refname format and refuses to lock badly named refs, it will not be possible to delete such refs because the first step of deletion is to lock the ref. We currently already fail in that case because these refs are not recognized to exist: $ cp .git/refs/heads/master .git/refs/heads/echo...\*\* $ git branch -D .git/refs/heads/echo...\*\* error: branch '.git/refs/heads/echo...**' not found.

2014-09-19refs: make rev-parse --quiet actually quietLibravatar David Aguilar1-3/+7
When a reflog is deleted, e.g. when "git stash" clears its stashes, "git rev-parse --verify --quiet" dies: fatal: Log for refs/stash is empty. The reason is that the get_sha1() code path does not allow us to suppress this message. Pass the flags bitfield through get_sha1_with_context() so that read_ref_at() can suppress the message. Use get_sha1_with_context1() instead of get_sha1() in rev-parse so that the --quiet flag is honored. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-09-12refs: speed up is_refname_availableLibravatar Jeff King1-32/+90
Our filesystem ref storage does not allow D/F conflicts; so if "refs/heads/a/b" exists, we do not allow "refs/heads/a" to exist (and vice versa). This falls out naturally for loose refs, where the filesystem enforces the condition. But for packed-refs, we have to make the check ourselves. We do so by iterating over the entire packed-refs namespace and checking whether each name creates a conflict. If you have a very large number of refs, this is quite inefficient, as you end up doing a large number of comparisons with uninteresting bits of the ref tree (e.g., we know that all of "refs/tags" is uninteresting in the example above, yet we check each entry in it). Instead, let's take advantage of the fact that we have the packed refs stored as a trie of ref_entry structs. We can find each component of the proposed refname as we walk through the trie, checking for D/F conflicts as we go. For a refname of depth N (i.e., 4 in the above example), we only have to visit N nodes. And at each visit, we can binary search the M names at that level, for a total complexity of O(N lg M). ("M" is different at each level, of course, but we can take the worst-case "M" as a bound). In a pathological case of fetching 30,000 fresh refs into a repository with 8.5 million refs, this dropped the time to run "git fetch" from tens of minutes to ~30s. This may also help smaller cases in which we check against loose refs (which we do when renaming a ref), as we may avoid a disk access for unrelated loose directories. Note that the tests we add appear at first glance to be redundant with what is already in t3210. However, the early tests are not robust; they are run with reflogs turned on, meaning that we are not actually testing is_refname_available at all! The operations will still fail because the reflogs will hit D/F conflicts in the filesystem. To get a true test, we must turn off reflogs (but we don't want to do so for the entire script, because the point of turning them on was to cover some other cases).

2014-09-10refs: write packed_refs file using stdioLibravatar Jeff King1-23/+16
We write each line of a new packed-refs file individually using a write() syscall (and sometimes 2, if the ref is peeled). Since each line is only about 50-100 bytes long, this creates a lot of system call overhead. We can instead open a stdio handle around our descriptor and use fprintf to write to it. The extra buffering is not a problem for us, because nobody will read our new packed-refs file until we call commit_lock_file (by which point we have flushed everything). On a pathological repository with 8.5 million refs, this dropped the time to run `git pack-refs` from 20s to 6s.

Change delete_ref to use a ref transaction for the deletion. At the same time since we no longer have any callers of repack_without_ref we can now delete this function. Change delete_ref to return 0 on success and 1 on failure instead of the previous 0 on success either 1 or -1 on failure.

Change prune_ref to delete the ref using a ref transaction. To do this we also need to add a new flag REF_ISPRUNING that will tell the transaction that we do not want to delete this ref from the packed refs. This flag is private to refs.c and not exposed to external callers.

2014-09-03refs.c: remove the update_ref_write functionLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-26/+8
Since we only call update_ref_write from a single place and we only call it with onerr==QUIET_ON_ERR we can just as well get rid of it and just call write_ref_sha1 directly. This changes the return status for _commit from 1 to -1 on failures when writing to the ref. Eventually we will want _commit to start returning more detailed error conditions than the current simple success/failure.
