* js/ref-namespaces: ref namespaces: tests ref namespaces: documentation ref namespaces: Support remote repositories via upload-pack and receive-pack ref namespaces: infrastructure Fix prefix handling in ref iteration functions
2011-07-06ref namespaces: infrastructureLibravatar Josh Triplett1-0/+3
Add support for dividing the refs of a single repository into multiple namespaces, each of which can have its own branches, tags, and HEAD. Git can expose each namespace as an independent repository to pull from and push to, while sharing the object store, and exposing all the refs to operations such as git-gc. Storing multiple repositories as namespaces of a single repository avoids storing duplicate copies of the same objects, such as when storing multiple branches of the same source. The alternates mechanism provides similar support for avoiding duplicates, but alternates do not prevent duplication between new objects added to the repositories without ongoing maintenance, while namespaces do. To specify a namespace, set the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable to the namespace. For each ref namespace, git stores the corresponding refs in a directory under refs/namespaces/. For example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/. You can also specify namespaces via the --namespace option to git. Note that namespaces which include a / will expand to a hierarchy of namespaces; for example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/. This makes paths in GIT_NAMESPACE behave hierarchically, so that cloning with GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar produces the same result as cloning with GIT_NAMESPACE=foo and cloning from that repo with GIT_NAMESPACE=bar. It also avoids ambiguity with strange namespace paths such as foo/refs/heads/, which could otherwise generate directory/file conflicts within the refs directory. Add the infrastructure for ref namespaces: handle the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable and --namespace option, and support iterating over refs in a namespace.

* jc/maint-1.7.3-checkout-describe: checkout -b <name>: correctly detect existing branch
2011-06-05checkout -b <name>: correctly detect existing branchLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
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.

2010-06-12log_ref_setup: don't return stack-allocated arrayLibravatar Thomas Rast1-1/+1
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.

2009-04-07make get_short_ref a public functionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
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. This patch makes the latter strategy globally available as shorten_unambiguous_ref. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-02-10remote prune: warn dangling symrefsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
If you prune from the remote "frotz" that deleted the ref your tracking branch remotes/frotz/HEAD points at, the symbolic ref will become dangling. We used to detect this as an error condition and issued a message every time refs are enumerated. This stops the error message, but moves the warning to "remote prune".

These refs can be anything, but they are most likely useful as pointing to objects that you know are in the object database but don't have any regular refs for.

2008-01-02lock_any_ref_for_update(): reject wildcard return from check_ref_formatLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+4
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>

This new function resolves a ref in *another* git repository. It's named for its intended use: to look up the git link to a subproject. It's not actually wired up to anything yet, but we're getting closer to having fundamental plumbing support for "links" from one git directory to another, which is the basis of subproject support.

2007-01-19Extend read_ref_at() to be usable from places other than sha1_name.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
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>
2007-01-09Sanitize for_each_reflog_ent()Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+2
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.

2006-12-05git-branch: add options and tests for branch renamingLibravatar Lars Hjemli1-0/+3
Extend git-branch with the following options: git-branch -m|-M [<oldbranch>] newbranch The -M variation is required to force renaming over an exsisting branchname. This also indroduces $GIT_DIR/RENAME_REF which is a "metabranch" used when renaming branches. It will always hold the original sha1 for the latest renamed branch. Additionally, if $GIT_DIR/logs/RENAME_REF exists, all branch rename events are logged there. Finally, some testcases are added to verify the new options.

2006-11-21Store peeled refs in packed-refs (take 2).Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+3
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.

2006-09-20Tell between packed, unpacked and symbolic refs.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+3
This adds a "int *flag" parameter to resolve_ref() and makes for_each_ref() family to call callback function with an extra "int flag" parameter. They are used to give two bits of information (REF_ISSYMREF and REF_ISPACKED) about the ref. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-09-20Add callback data to for_each_ref() family.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+6
This is a long overdue fix to the API for for_each_ref() family of functions. It allows the callers to specify a callback data pointer, so that the caller does not have to use static variables to communicate with the callback funciton. The updated for_each_ref() family takes a function of type int (*fn)(const char *, const unsigned char *, void *) and a void pointer as parameters, and calls the function with the name of the ref and its SHA-1 with the caller-supplied void pointer as parameters. The commit updates two callers, builtin-name-rev.c and builtin-pack-refs.c as an example. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-09-17Enable the packed refs file formatLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
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.

2006-06-06ref-log: style fixes.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+3
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>

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