2007-02-12Do not forget to pack objects reachable from HEAD reflog.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1

2007-01-09Sanitize for_each_reflog_ent()Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+3
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.

2006-12-21Don't crash during repack of a reflog with pruned commits.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-10/+20
If the user has been using reflog for a long time (e.g. since its introduction) then it is very likely that an existing branch's reflog may still mention commits which have long since been pruned out of the repository. Rather than aborting with a very useless error message during git-repack, pack as many valid commits as we can get from the reflog and let the user know that the branch's reflog contains already pruned commits. A future 'git reflog expire' (or whatever it finally winds up being called) can then be performed to expunge those reflog entries. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-12-20simplify inclusion of system header files.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include system header files. (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. (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem specific header files (e.g. expat.h). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-19Revert "Make left-right automatic."Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-10/+3
This reverts commit 5761231975ceffa531d86d9bab0f9a9a370674f6. Feeding symmetric difference to gitk is so useful, and it is the same for other graphical Porcelains. Rather than forcing them to pass --no-left-right, making it optional. Noticed and reported by Jeff King.
2006-12-17Make left-right automatic.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+10
When using symmetric differences, I think the user almost always would want to know which side of the symmetry each commit came from. So this removes --left-right option from the command line, and turns it on automatically when a symmetric difference is used ("git log --merge" counts as a symmetric difference between HEAD and MERGE_HEAD). Just in case, a new option --no-left-right is provided to defeat this, but I do not know if it would be useful. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-12-17rev-list --left-rightLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+4
The output from "symmetric diff", i.e. A...B, does not distinguish between commits that are reachable from A and the ones that are reachable from B. In this picture, such a symmetric diff includes commits marked with a and b. x---b---b branch B / \ / / . / / \ o---x---a---a branch A However, you cannot tell which ones are 'a' and which ones are 'b' from the output. Sometimes this is frustrating. This adds an output option, --left-right, to rev-list. rev-list --left-right A...B would show ones reachable from A prefixed with '<' and the ones reachable from B prefixed with '>'. When combined with --boundary, boundary commits (the ones marked with 'x' in the above picture) are shown with prefix '-', so you would see list that looks like this: git rev-list --left-right --boundary --pretty=oneline A...B >bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb 3rd on b >bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb 2nd on b <aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 3rd on a <aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 2nd on a -xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 1st on b -xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 1st on a Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-09-20Tell between packed, unpacked and symbolic refs.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
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 Hamano1-2/+2
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>

2006-09-07pack-objects --unpacked=<existing pack> option.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+22
Incremental repack without -a essentially boils down to: rev-list --objects --unpacked --all | pack-objects $new_pack which picks up all loose objects that are still live and creates a new pack. This implements --unpacked=<existing pack> option to tell the revision walking machinery to pretend as if objects in such a pack are unpacked for the purpose of object listing. With this, we could say: rev-list --objects --unpacked=$active_pack --all | pack-objects $new_pack instead, to mean "all live loose objects but pretend as if objects that are in this pack are also unpacked". The newly created pack would be perfect for updating $active_pack by replacing it. Since pack-objects now knows how to do the rev-list's work itself internally, you can also write the above example by: pack-objects --unpacked=$active_pack --all $new_pack </dev/null Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-09-05revision.c: allow injecting revision parameters after setup_revisions().Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-74/+85
setup_revisions() wants to get all the parameters at once and then postprocesses the resulting revs structure after it is done with them. This code structure is a bit cumbersome to deal with efficiently when we want to inject revision parameters from the side (e.g. read from standard input). Fortunately, the nature of this postprocessing is not affected by revision parameters; they are affected only by flags. So it is Ok to do add_object() after the it returns. This splits out the code that deals with the revision parameter out of the main loop of setup_revisions(), so that we can later call it from elsewhere after it returns.

2006-08-23Convert memcpy(a,b,20) to hashcpy(a,b).Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-1/+1
This abstracts away the size of the hash values when copying them from memory location to memory location, much as the introduction of hashcmp abstracted away hash value comparsion. A few call sites were using char* rather than unsigned char* so I added the cast rather than open hashcpy to be void*. This is a reasonable tradeoff as most call sites already use unsigned char* and the existing hashcmp is also declared to be unsigned char*. [jc: Splitted the patch to "master" part, to be followed by a patch for merge-recursive.c which is not in "master" yet.

2006-07-28Call setup_git_directory() earlyLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-2/+2
Any git command that expects to work in a subdirectory of a project, and that reads the git config files (which is just about all of them) needs to make sure that it does the "setup_git_directory()" call before it tries to read the config file. This means, among other things, that we need to move the call out of "init_revisions()", and into the caller. This does the mostly trivial conversion to do that.

This updates the type-enumeration constants introduced to reduce the memory footprint of "struct object" to match the type bits already used in the packfile format, by removing the former (i.e. TYPE_* constant macros) and using the latter (i.e. enum object_type) throughout the code for consistency.

2006-07-01revision.c: --full-history fix.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-4/+14
With history simplification, we still show merges that are required to make the history _complete_, i.e. say that you had: a | b / \ c d | | and neither "a" nor "b" actually changed the file, but both "c" and "d" did: in this case we have to leave "b" around just because otherwise there would be no way to show the _relationship_, even if "b" itself doesn't actually change the tree in any way what-so-ever. It would make sense to make that further simplification if the "--parents" flag wasn't present. In that case the user is literally asking for a list of commits and is not interested in the relationship between them. This patch also fixes a real bug. Without this patch, the "--parents --full-history" combination (which you'd get if you do something like gitk --full-history Makefile or similar) will actually _drop_ merges where all children are identical. That's wrong in the --full-history case, because it means that the graph ends up missing lots of entries. In the process, this also should make git-rev-list --full-history Makefile give just the _true_ list of all commits that changed Makefile (and properly ignore merges that were identical in one parent), because now we're not asking for "--parent", so we don't need the unnecessary merge commits to keep the history together.

2006-06-19Add "named object array" conceptLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-18/+15
We've had this notion of a "object_list" for a long time, which eventually grew a "name" member because some users (notably git-rev-list) wanted to name each object as it is generated. That object_list is great for some things, but it isn't all that wonderful for others, and the "name" member is generally not used by everybody. This patch splits the users of the object_list array up into two: the traditional list users, who want the list-like format, and who don't actually use or want the name. And another class of users that really used the list as an extensible array, and generally wanted to name the objects. The patch is fairly straightforward, but it's also biggish. Most of it really just cleans things up: switching the revision parsing and listing over to the array makes things like the builtin-diff usage much simpler (we now see exactly how many members the array has, and we don't get the objects reversed from the order they were on the command line). One of the main reasons for doing this at all is that the malloc overhead of the simple object list was actually pretty high, and the array is just a lot denser. So this patch brings down memory usage by git-rev-list by just under 3% (on top of all the other memory use optimizations) on the mozilla archive. It does add more lines than it removes, and more importantly, it adds a whole new infrastructure for maintaining lists of objects, but on the other hand, the new dynamic array code is pretty obvious. The change to builtin-diff-tree.c shows a fairly good example of why an array interface is sometimes more natural, and just much simpler for everybody.

2006-06-17Some more memory leak avoidanceLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-2/+4
This is really the dregs of my effort to not waste memory in git-rev-list, and makes barely one percent of a difference in the memory footprint, but hey, it's also a pretty small patch. It discards the parent lists and the commit buffer after the commit has been shown by git-rev-list (and "git log" - which already did the commit buffer part), and frees the commit list entry that was used by the revision walker. The big win would be to get rid of the "refs" pointer in the object structure (another 5%), because it's only used by fsck. That would require some pretty major surgery to fsck, though, so I'm timid and did the less interesting but much easier part instead. This (percentually) makes a bigger difference to "git log" and friends, since those are walking _just_ commits, and thus the list entries tend to be a bigger percentage of the memory use. But the "list all objects" case does improve too. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
