2007-01-19show-branch --reflog: show the reflog message at the top.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+2
This changes the output so the list at the top shows the reflog message, along with their relative timestamps. You can use --reflog=<n> to show <n> most recent log entries, or use --reflog=<n>,<b> to show <n> entries going back from the entry <b>. <b> can be either a number (so --reflog=4,20 shows 4 records starting from @{20}) or a timestamp (e.g. --reflog='4,1 day'). Here is a sample output (with --list option): $ git show-branch --reflog=10 --list jc/show-reflog [jc/show-reflog@{0}] (3 minutes ago) commit (amend): show-branch --ref [jc/show-reflog@{1}] (5 minutes ago) reset HEAD^ [jc/show-reflog@{2}] (14 minutes ago) commit: show-branch --reflog: sho [jc/show-reflog@{3}] (14 minutes ago) commit: show-branch --reflog: sho [jc/show-reflog@{4}] (18 minutes ago) commit (amend): Extend read_ref_a [jc/show-reflog@{5}] (18 minutes ago) commit (amend): Extend read_ref_a [jc/show-reflog@{6}] (18 minutes ago) commit (amend): Extend read_ref_a [jc/show-reflog@{7}] (18 minutes ago) am: read_ref_at(): allow retrievi [jc/show-reflog@{8}] (18 minutes ago) reset --hard HEAD~4 [jc/show-reflog@{9}] (61 minutes ago) commit: show-branch --reflog: use This shows what I did more cleanly: $ git show-branch --reflog=10 jc/show-reflog !

I first saved them with "format-patch -4", and then did a reset at @{8}. At @{7}, I applied one of them with "am", and then used "git-apply" on the other one, and amended the commit at @{6} (so @{6} and @{7} has the same parent). I did not like the log message, so I amended again at @{5}. Then I cherry-picked @{9}~2 to create @{3} (the log message shows that it needs to learn to set GIT_REFLOG_ACTION -- it uses "git-commit" and the log entry is attributed for it). Another cherry-pick built @{2} out of @{9}, but what I wanted to do was to squash these two into one, so I did a "reset HEAD^" at @{1} and then made the final commit by amending what was at the top.

2007-01-19Extend read_ref_at() to be usable from places other than sha1_name.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+33
You can pass an extra argument to the function to receive the reflog message information. Also when the log does not go back beyond the point the user asked, the cut-off time and count are given back to the caller for emitting the error messages as appropriately. We could later add configuration for get_sha1_basic() to make it an error instead of it being just a warning. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-19refs.c::read_ref_at(): fix bogus munmap() call.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+5

2007-01-09Sanitize for_each_reflog_ent()Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-5/+21
It used to ignore the return value of the helper function; now, it expects it to return 0, and stops iteration upon non-zero return values; this value is then passed on as the return value of for_each_reflog_ent(). Further, it makes no sense to force the parsing upon the helper functions; for_each_reflog_ent() now calls the helper function with old and new sha1, the email, the timestamp & timezone, and the message.

We have a number of badly checked write() calls. Often we are expecting write() to write exactly the size we requested or fail, this fails to handle interrupts or short writes.

2007-01-07Introduce is_bare_repository() and core.bare configuration variableLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
This removes the old is_bare_git_dir(const char *) to ask if a directory, if it is a GIT_DIR, is a bare repository, and replaces it with is_bare_repository(void *). The function looks at core.bare configuration variable if exists but uses the old heuristics: if it is ".git" or ends with "/.git", then it does not look like a bare repository, otherwise it does.

2007-01-07Move initialization of log_all_ref_updatesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
The patches to prevent Porcelainish that require working tree from doing any damage in a bare repository make a lot of sense, and I want to make the is_bare_git_dir() function more reliable. In order to allow the repository owner override the heuristic implemented in is_bare_git_dir() if/when it misidentifies a particular repository, it would make sense to introduce a new configuration variable "[core] bare = true/false", and make is_bare_git_dir() notice it. The scripts would do a 'repo-config --bool --get core.bare' and iff the command fails (i.e. there is no such variable in the configuration file), it would use the heuristic implemented at the script level [*1*]. However, setup_git_env() which is called a lot earlier than we even read from the repository configuration currently makes a call to is_bare_git_dir(), in order to change the default setting for log_all_ref_updates. It somehow feels that this is a hack. By the way, [*1*] is another thing I hate about the current config mechanism. "git-repo-config --get" does not know what the possible configuration variables are, let alone what the default values for them are. It allows us not to maintain a centralized configuration table, which makes it easy to introduce ad-hoc variables and gives a warm fuzzy feeling of being modular, but my feeling is that it is turning out to be a rather high price to pay for scripts.

2007-01-03Fix infinite loop when deleting multiple packed refs.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
It was stupid to link the same element twice to lock_file_list and end up in a loop, so we certainly need a fix. But it is not like we are taking a lock on multiple files in this case. It is just that we leave the linked element on the list even after commit_lock_file() successfully removes the cruft. We cannot remove the list element in commit_lock_file(); if we are interrupted in the middle of list manipulation, the call to remove_lock_file_on_signal() will happen with a broken list structure pointed by lock_file_list, which would cause the cruft to remain, so not removing the list element is the right thing to do. Instead we should be reusing the element already on the list. There is already a code for that in lock_file() function in lockfile.c. The code checks lk->next and the element is linked only when it is not already on the list -- which is incorrect for the last element on the list (which has NULL in its next field), but if you read the check as "is this element already on the list?" it actually makes sense. We do not want to link it on the list again, nor we would want to set up signal/atexit over and over. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-29Replace mmap with xmmap, better handling MAP_FAILED.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+1
In some cases we did not even bother to check the return value of mmap() and just assume it worked. This is bad, because if we are out of virtual address space the kernel returned MAP_FAILED and we would attempt to dereference that address, segfaulting without any real error output to the user. We are replacing all calls to mmap() with xmmap() and moving all MAP_FAILED checking into that single location. If a mmap call fails we try to release enough least-recently-used pack windows to possibly succeed, then retry the mmap() attempt. If we cannot mmap even after releasing pack memory then we die() as none of our callers have any reasonable recovery strategy for a failed mmap. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

(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.

2006-11-21Store peeled refs in packed-refs (take 2).Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-47/+64
This fixes the previous implementation which failed to optimize repositories with tons of lightweight tags. The updated packed-refs format begins with "# packed-refs with:" line that lists the kind of extended data the file records. Currently, there is only one such extension defined, "peeled". This stores the "peeled tag" on a line that immediately follows a line for a tag object itself in the format "^<sha-1>". The header line itself and any extended data are ignored by older implementation, so packed-refs file generated with this version can still be used by older git. packed-refs made by older git can of course be used with this version.

We might want to replace the "if null then omit it" check with "eh --- what business does a 0{40} value have here?" complaint later since we currently do not use negative refs, but that is a separate issue.

2006-09-20Fix broken sha1 lockingLibravatar Petr Baudis1-2/+4
Current git#next is totally broken wrt. cloning over HTTP, generating refs at random directories. Of course it's caused by the static get_pathname() buffer. lock_ref_sha1() stores return value of mkpath()'s get_pathname() call, then calls lock_ref_sha1_basic() which calls git_path(ref) which calls get_pathname() at that point returning pointer to the same buffer. So now you are sprintf()ing a format string into itself, wow! The resulting pathnames are really cute. (If you've been paying attention, yes, the mere fact that a format string _could_ write over itself is very wrong and probably exploitable here. See the other mail I've just sent.) I've never liked how we use return values of those functions so liberally, the "allow some random number of get_pathname() return values to work concurrently" is absolutely horrible pit and we've already fallen in this before IIRC. I consider it an awful coding practice, you add a call somewhere and at some other point some distant caller of that breaks since it reuses the same return values. Not to mention this takes quite some time to debug. My gut feeling tells me that there might be more of this. I don't have time to review the rest of the users of the refs.c functions though.

2006-09-17Enable the packed refs file formatLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-19/+22
This actually "turns on" the packed ref file format, now that the infrastructure to do so sanely exists (ie notably the change to make the reference reading logic take refnames rather than pathnames to the loose objects that no longer necessarily even exist). In particular, when the ref lookup hits a refname that has no loose file associated with it, it falls back on the packed-ref information. Also, the ref-locking code, while still using a loose file for the locking itself (and _creating_ a loose file for the new ref) no longer requires that the old ref be in such an unpacked state. Finally, this does a minimal hack to git-checkout.sh to rather than check the ref-file directly, do a "git-rev-parse" on the "heads/$refname". That's not really wonderful - we should rather really have a special routine to verify the names as proper branch head names, but it is a workable solution for now. With this, I can literally do something like git pack-refs find .git/refs -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f -- and the end result is a largely working repository (ie I've done two commits - which creates _one_ unpacked ref file - done things like run "gitk" and "git log" etc, and it all looks ok). There are probably things missing, but I'm hoping that the missing things are now of the "small and obvious" kind, and that somebody else might want to start looking at this too.
