2017-02-03Merge branch 'cw/log-updates-for-all-refs-really'Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-5/+3
The "core.logAllRefUpdates" that used to be boolean has been enhanced to take 'always' as well, to record ref updates to refs other than the ones that are expected to be updated (i.e. branches, remote-tracking branches and notes). * cw/log-updates-for-all-refs-really: doc: add note about ignoring '--no-create-reflog' update-ref: add test cases for bare repository refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = always config: add markup to core.logAllRefUpdates doc
2017-01-31refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = alwaysLibravatar Cornelius Weig2-5/+3
When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old history immediately). However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than the performance implications of keeping the log around. This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

2016-10-10files_read_raw_ref: prevent infinite retry loops in generalLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+7
Limit the number of retries to 3. That should be adequate to prevent any races, while preventing the possibility of infinite loops if the logic fails to handle any other possible error modes correctly. After the fix in the previous commit, there's no known way to trigger an infinite loop, but I did manually verify that this fixes the test in that commit even when the code change is not applied.

2016-10-10files_read_raw_ref: avoid infinite loop on broken symlinksLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+6
Our ref resolution first runs lstat() on any path we try to look up, because we want to treat symlinks specially (by resolving them manually and considering them symrefs). But if the results of `readlink` do _not_ look like a ref, we fall through to treating it like a normal file, and just read the contents of the linked path. Since fcb7c76 (resolve_ref_unsafe(): close race condition reading loose refs, 2013-06-19), that "normal file" code path will stat() the file and if we see ENOENT, will jump back to the lstat(), thinking we've seen inconsistent results between the two calls. But for a symbolic ref, this isn't a race: the lstat() found the symlink, and the stat() is looking at the path it points to. We end up in an infinite loop calling lstat() and stat(). We can fix this by avoiding the retry-on-inconsistent jump when we know that we found a symlink. While we're at it, let's add a comment explaining why the symlink case gets to this code in the first place; without that, it is not obvious that the correct solution isn't to avoid the stat() code path entirely.

Aside from removing redundant code, this allows submodule lookups to benefit from the much more robust code that we use for reading non-submodule references. And, since the code is now agnostic about reference backends, it will work for any future references backend (so move its definition to refs.c).

2016-09-09refs: rename struct ref_cache to files_ref_storeLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-63/+63
The greater goal of this patch series is to develop the concept of a reference store, which is a place that references, their values, and their reflogs are stored, and to virtualize the reference interface so that different types of ref_stores can be implemented. We will then, for example, use ref_store instances to access submodule references and worktree references. Currently, we keep a ref_cache for each submodule that has had its references iterated over. It is a far cry from a ref_store, but they are stored the way we will want to store ref_stores, and ref_stores will eventually have to hold the reference caches. So let's treat ref_caches as embryo ref_stores, and build them out from there. As the first step, simply rename `ref_cache` to `files_ref_store`, and rename some functions and attributes correspondingly.

2016-08-31allow do_submodule_path to work even if submodule isn't checked outLibravatar Jacob Keller1-1/+7
Currently, do_submodule_path will attempt locating the .git directory by using read_gitfile on <path>/.git. If this fails it just assumes the <path>/.git is actually a git directory. This is good because it allows for handling submodules which were cloned in a regular manner first before being added to the superproject. Unfortunately this fails if the <path> is not actually checked out any longer, such as by removing the directory. Fix this by checking if the directory we found is actually a gitdir. In the case it is not, attempt to lookup the submodule configuration and find the name of where it is stored in the .git/modules/ directory of the superproject. If we can't locate the submodule configuration, this might occur because for example a submodule gitlink was added but the corresponding .gitmodules file was not properly updated. A die() here would not be pleasant to the users of submodule diff formats, so instead, modify do_submodule_path() to return an error code: - git_pathdup_submodule() returns NULL when we fail to find a path. - strbuf_git_path_submodule() propagates the error code to the caller. Modify the callers of these functions to check the error code and fail properly. This ensures we don't attempt to use a bad path that doesn't match the corresponding submodule. Because this change fixes add_submodule_odb() to work even if the submodule is not checked out, update the wording of the submodule log diff format to correctly display that the submodule is "not initialized" instead of "not checked out" Add tests to ensure this change works as expected.
