We've left the command line parsing of "git log :/a/b/" broken for about a full year without anybody noticing, which has been corrected. * jc/missing-ref-store-fix: repository: mark the "refs" pointer as private sha1-name: do not assume that the ref store is initialized
2020-04-09repository: mark the "refs" pointer as privateLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+6
The "refs" pointer in a struct repository starts life as NULL, but then is lazily initialized when it is accessed via get_main_ref_store(). However, it's easy for calling code to forget this and access it directly, leading to code which works _some_ of the time, but fails if it is called before anybody else accesses the refs. This was the cause of the bug fixed by 5ff4b920eb (sha1-name: do not assume that the ref store is initialized, 2020-04-09). In order to prevent similar bugs, let's more clearly mark the "refs" field as private. In addition to helping future code, the name change will help us audit any existing direct uses. Besides get_main_ref_store() itself, it turns out there is only one. But we know it's OK as it is on the line directly after the fix from 5ff4b920eb, which will have initialized the pointer. However it's still a good idea for it to model the proper use of the accessing function, so we'll convert it.

2019-10-07Merge branch 'jk/disable-commit-graph-during-upload-pack'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
The "upload-pack" (the counterpart of "git fetch") needs to disable commit-graph when responding to a shallow clone/fetch request, but the way this was done made Git panic, which has been corrected. * jk/disable-commit-graph-during-upload-pack: upload-pack: disable commit graph more gently for shallow traversal commit-graph: bump DIE_ON_LOAD check to actual load-time
2019-09-12upload-pack: disable commit graph more gently for shallow traversalLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
When the client has asked for certain shallow options like "deepen-since", we do a custom rev-list walk that pretends to be shallow. Before doing so, we have to disable the commit-graph, since it is not compatible with the shallow view of the repository. That's handled by 829a321569 (commit-graph: close_commit_graph before shallow walk, 2018-08-20). That commit literally closes and frees our repo->objects->commit_graph struct. That creates an interesting problem for commits that have _already_ been parsed using the commit graph. Their commit->object.parsed flag is set, their commit->graph_pos is set, but their commit->maybe_tree may still be NULL. When somebody later calls repo_get_commit_tree(), we see that we haven't loaded the tree oid yet and try to get it from the commit graph. But since it has been freed, we segfault! So the root of the issue is a data dependency between the commit's lazy-load of the tree oid and the fact that the commit graph can go away mid-process. How can we resolve it? There are a couple of general approaches: 1. The obvious answer is to avoid loading the tree from the graph when we see that it's NULL. But then what do we return for the tree oid? If we return NULL, our caller in do_traverse() will rightly complain that we have no tree. We'd have to fallback to loading the actual commit object and re-parsing it. That requires teaching parse_commit_buffer() to understand re-parsing (i.e., not starting from a clean slate and not leaking any allocated bits like parent list pointers). 2. When we close the commit graph, walk through the set of in-memory objects and clear any graph_pos pointers. But this means we also have to "unparse" any such commits so that we know they still need to open the commit object to fill in their trees. So it's no less complicated than (1), and is more expensive (since we clear objects we might not later need). 3. Stop freeing the commit-graph struct. Continue to let it be used for lazy-loads of tree oids, but let upload-pack specify that it shouldn't be used for further commit parsing. 4. Push the whole shallow rev-list out to its own sub-process, with the commit-graph disabled from the start, giving it a clean memory space to work from. I've chosen (3) here. Options (1) and (2) would work, but are non-trivial to implement. Option (4) is more expensive, and I'm not sure how complicated it is (shelling out for the actual rev-list part is easy, but we do then parse the resulting commits internally, and I'm not clear which parts need to be handling shallow-ness). The new test in t5500 triggers this segfault, but see the comments there for how horribly intimate it has to be with how both upload-pack and commit graphs work.

2019-09-03fetch: add fetch.writeCommitGraph config settingLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+1
The commit-graph feature is now on by default, and is being written during 'git gc' by default. Typically, Git only writes a commit-graph when a 'git gc --auto' command passes the gc.auto setting to actualy do work. This means that a commit-graph will typically fall behind the commits that are being used every day. To stay updated with the latest commits, add a step to 'git fetch' to write a commit-graph after fetching new objects. The fetch.writeCommitGraph config setting enables writing a split commit-graph, so on average the cost of writing this file is very small. Occasionally, the commit-graph chain will collapse to a single level, and this could be slow for very large repos. For additional use, adjust the default to be true when feature.experimental is enabled. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-08-13repo-settings: create feature.experimental settingLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+8
The 'feature.experimental' setting includes config options that are not committed to become defaults, but could use additional testing. Update the following config settings to take new defaults, and to use the repo_settings struct if not already using them: * 'pack.useSparse=true' * 'fetch.negotiationAlgorithm=skipping' In the case of fetch.negotiationAlgorithm, the existing logic would load the config option only when about to use the setting, so had a die() statement on an unknown string value. This is removed as now the config is parsed under prepare_repo_settings(). In general, this die() is probably misplaced and not valuable. A test was removed that checked this die() statement executed. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-08-13repo-settings: parse core.untrackedCacheLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+8
The core.untrackedCache config setting is slightly complicated, so clarify its use and centralize its parsing into the repo settings. The default value is "keep" (returned as -1), which persists the untracked cache if it exists. If the value is set as "false" (returned as 0), then remove the untracked cache if it exists. If the value is set as "true" (returned as 1), then write the untracked cache and persist it. Instead of relying on magic values of -1, 0, and 1, split these options into an enum. This allows the use of "-1" as a default value. After parsing the config options, if the value is unset we can initialize it to UNTRACKED_CACHE_KEEP.

2019-02-22trace2: create new combined trace facilityLibravatar Jeff Hostetler1-0/+3
Create a new unified tracing facility for git. The eventual intent is to replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a unified set of git_trace2* routines. In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written. This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools. Trace2 defines 3 output targets. These are set using the environment variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT". These may be set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE). * GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command summary data. * GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE. It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread, repo, absolute and relative elapsed times. It reports events for child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function nesting. * GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a series of JSON records. Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance* routines.

2018-12-05repository: repo_submodule_init to take a submodule structLibravatar Stefan Beller1-2/+10
When constructing a struct repository for a submodule for some revision of the superproject where the submodule is not contained in the index, it may not be present in the working tree currently either. In that situation giving a 'path' argument is not useful. Upgrade the repo_submodule_init function to take a struct submodule instead. The submodule struct can be obtained via submodule_from_{path, name} or an artificial submodule struct can be passed in. While we are at it, rename the repository struct in the repo_submodule_init function, which is to be initialized, to a name that is not confused with the struct submodule as easily. Perform such renames in similar functions as well. Also move its documentation into the header file.

connect_work_tree_and_git_dir is used to connect a submodule worktree with its git directory and vice versa after events that require a reconnection such as moving around the working tree. As submodules can have nested submodules themselves, we'd also want to fix the nested submodules when asked to. Add an option to recurse into the nested submodules and connect them as well. As submodules are identified by their name (which determines their git directory in relation to their superproject's git directory) internally and by their path in the working tree of the superproject, we need to make sure that the mapping of name <-> path is kept intact. We can do that in the git-mv command by writing out the gitmodules file first and then forcing a reload of the submodule config machinery.

2017-06-23config: read config from a repository objectLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+10
Teach the config machinery to read config information from a repository object. This involves storing a 'struct config_set' inside the repository object and adding a number of functions (repo_config*) to be able to query a repository's config. The current config API enables lazy-loading of the config. This means that when 'git_config_get_int()' is called, if the_config_set hasn't been populated yet, then it will be populated and properly initialized by reading the necessary config files (system wide .gitconfig, user's home .gitconfig, and the repository's config). To maintain this paradigm, the new API to read from a repository object's config will also perform this lazy-initialization. Since both APIs (git_config_get* and repo_config_get*) have the same semantics we can migrate the default config to be stored within 'the_repository' and just have the 'git_config_get*' family of functions redirect to the 'repo_config_get*' functions.

2017-06-23repository: introduce the repository objectLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+64
Introduce the repository object 'struct repository' which can be used to hold all state pertaining to a git repository. Some of the benefits of object-ifying a repository are: 1. Make the code base more readable and easier to reason about. 2. Allow for working on multiple repositories, specifically submodules, within the same process. Currently the process for working on a submodule involves setting up an argv_array of options for a particular command and then launching a child process to execute the command in the context of the submodule. This is clunky and can require lots of little hacks in order to ensure correctness. Ideally it would be nice to simply pass a repository and an options struct to a command. 3. Eliminating reliance on global state will make it easier to enable the use of threading to improve performance.
