2018-04-25Merge branch 'jk/relative-directory-fix'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+3
Some codepaths, including the refs API, get and keep relative paths, that go out of sync when the process does chdir(2). The chdir-notify API is introduced to let these codepaths adjust these cached paths to the new current directory. * jk/relative-directory-fix: refs: use chdir_notify to update cached relative paths set_work_tree: use chdir_notify add chdir-notify API trace.c: export trace_setup_key set_git_dir: die when setenv() fails

2018-03-30set_work_tree: use chdir_notifyLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+3
When we change to the top of the working tree, we manually re-adjust $GIT_DIR and call set_git_dir() again, in order to update any relative git-dir we'd compute earlier. Instead of the work-tree code having to know to call the git-dir code, let's use the new chdir_notify interface. There are two spots that need updating, with a few subtleties in each: 1. the set_git_dir() code needs to chdir_notify_register() so it can be told when to update its path. Technically we could push this down into repo_set_gitdir(), so that even repository structs besides the_repository could benefit from this. But that opens up a lot of complications: - we'd still need to touch set_git_dir(), because it does some other setup (like setting $GIT_DIR in the environment) - submodules using other repository structs get cleaned up, which means we'd need to remove them from the chdir_notify list - it's unlikely to fix any bugs, since we shouldn't generally chdir() in the middle of working on a submodule 2. setup_work_tree now needs to call chdir_notify(), and can lose its manual set_git_dir() call. Note that at first glance it looks like this undoes the absolute-to-relative optimization added by 044bbbcb63 (Make git_dir a path relative to work_tree in setup_work_tree(), 2008-06-19). But for the most part that optimization was just _undoing_ the relative-to-absolute conversion which the function was doing earlier (and which is now gone). It is true that if you already have an absolute git_dir that the setup_work_tree() function will no longer make it relative as a side effect. But: - we generally do have relative git-dir's due to the way the discovery code works - if we really care about making git-dir's relative when possible, then we should be relativizing them earlier (e.g., when we see an absolute $GIT_DIR we could turn it relative, whether we are going to chdir into a worktree or not). That would cover all cases, including ones that 044bbbcb63 did not. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-03-05repository.c: move env-related setup code back to environment.cLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+1
It does not make sense that generic repository code contains handling of environment variables, which are specific for the main repository only. Refactor repo_set_gitdir() function to take $GIT_DIR and optionally _all_ other customizable paths. These optional paths can be NULL and will be calculated according to the default directory layout. Note that some dead functions are left behind to reduce diff noise. They will be deleted in the next patch.

2017-11-13Integrate hash algorithm support with repo setupLibravatar brian m. carlson1-0/+3
In future versions of Git, we plan to support an additional hash algorithm. Integrate the enumeration of hash algorithms with repository setup, and store a pointer to the enumerated data in struct repository. Of course, we currently only support SHA-1, so hard-code this value in read_repository_format. In the future, we'll enumerate this value from the configuration. Add a constant, the_hash_algo, which points to the hash_algo structure pointer in the repository global. Note that this is the hash which is used to serialize data to disk, not the hash which is used to display items to the user. The transition plan anticipates that these may be different. We can add an additional element in the future (say, ui_hash_algo) to provide for this case. Include repository.h in cache.h since we now need to have access to these struct and variable definitions.

2017-11-13setup: expose enumerated repo infoLibravatar brian m. carlson1-21/+25
We enumerate several different items as part of struct repository_format, but then actually set up those values using the global variables we've initialized from them. Instead, let's pass a pointer to the structure down to the code where we enumerate these values, so we can later on use those values directly to perform setup. This technique makes it easier for us to determine additional items about the repository format (such as the hash algorithm) and then use them for setup later on, without needing to add additional global variables. We can't avoid using the existing global variables since they're intricately intertwined with how things work at the moment, but this improves things for the future.

2017-11-03setup: avoid double slashes when looking for HEADLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
Andrew Baumann reported that when called outside of any Git worktree, `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree` eventually tries to access `//HEAD`, i.e. any `HEAD` file in the root directory, but with a double slash. This double slash is not only unintentional, but is allowed by the POSIX standard to have a special meaning. And most notably on Windows, it does, where it refers to a UNC path of the form `//server/share/`. As a consequence, afore-mentioned `rev-parse` call not only looks for the wrong thing, but it also causes serious delays, as Windows will try to access a server called `HEAD`.

2017-09-06set_git_dir: handle feeding gitdir to itselfLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+0
Ideally we'd free the existing gitdir field before assigning the new one, to avoid a memory leak. But we can't do so safely because some callers do the equivalent of: set_git_dir(get_git_dir()); We can detect that case as a noop, but there are even more complicated cases like: set_git_dir(remove_leading_path(worktree, get_git_dir()); where we really do need to do some work, but the original string must remain valid. Rather than put the burden on callers to make a copy of the string (only to free it later, since we'll make a copy of it ourselves), let's solve the problem inside set_git_dir(). We can make a copy of the pointer for the old gitdir, and then avoid freeing it until after we've made our new copy.

2017-06-23setup: don't perform lazy initialization of repository stateLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+14
Under some circumstances (bogus GIT_DIR value or the discovered gitdir is '.git') 'setup_git_directory()' won't initialize key repository state. This leads to inconsistent state after running the setup code. To account for this inconsistent state, lazy initialization is done once a caller asks for the repository's gitdir or some other piece of repository state. This is confusing and can be error prone. Instead let's tighten the expected outcome of 'setup_git_directory()' and ensure that it initializes repository state in all cases that would have been handled by lazy initialization. This also lets us drop the requirement to have 'have_git_dir()' check if the environment variable GIT_DIR was set as that will be handled by the end of the setup code.

2017-06-19Merge branch 'jk/pathspec-magic-disambiguation'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-10/+32
The convention for a command line is to follow "git cmdname --options" with revisions followed by an optional "--" disambiguator and then finally pathspecs. When "--" is not there, we make sure early ones are all interpretable as revs (and do not look like paths) and later ones are the other way around. A pathspec with "magic" (e.g. ":/p/a/t/h" that matches p/a/t/h from the top-level of the working tree, no matter what subdirectory you are working from) are conservatively judged as "not a path", which required disambiguation more often.

2017-06-15setup: teach discover_git_directory to respect the commondirLibravatar Brandon Williams1-6/+11
Currently 'discover_git_directory' only looks at the gitdir to determine if a git directory was discovered. This causes a problem in the event that the gitdir which was discovered was in fact a per-worktree git directory and not the common git directory. This is because the repository config, which is checked to verify the repository's format, is stored in the commondir and not in the per-worktree gitdir. Correct this behavior by checking the config stored in the commondir. It will also be of use for callers to have access to the commondir, so lets also return that upon successfully discovering a git directory.

However, we still appended the invalid path to the strbuf passed as argument. Let's just reset the strbuf to the state before we appended the .git/ directory that was eventually rejected. There is another early return path in that function, when setup_git_directory_gently_1() returns GIT_DIR_NONE or an error. In that case, the gitdir parameter has not been touched, therefore there is no need for an equivalent change in that code path.

Our code often opens a path to an optional file, to work on its contents when we can successfully open it. We can ignore a failure to open if such an optional file does not exist, but we do want to report a failure in opening for other reasons (e.g. we got an I/O error, or the file is there, but we lack the permission to open).

2017-05-29verify_filename(): treat ":(magic)" as a pathspecLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+19
For commands that take revisions and pathspecs, magic pathspecs like ":(exclude)foo" require the user to specify a disambiguating "--", since they do not match a file in the filesystem, like: git grep foo -- :(exclude)bar This makes them more annoying to use than they need to be. We loosened the rules for wildcards in 28fcc0b71 (pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is used, 2015-05-02). Let's do the same for pathspecs with long-form magic. We already handle the short-forms ":/" and ":^" specially in check_filename(), so we don't need to handle them here. And in fact, we could do the same with long-form magic, parsing out the actual filename and making sure it exists. But there are a few reasons not to do it that way: - the parsing gets much more complicated, and we'd want to hand it off to the pathspec code. But that code isn't ready to do this kind of speculative parsing (it's happy to die() when it sees a syntactically invalid pathspec). - not all pathspec magic maps to a filesystem path. E.g., :(attr) should be treated as a pathspec regardless of what is in the filesystem - we can be a bit looser with ":(" than with the short-form ":/", because it is much less likely to have a false positive. Whereas ":/" also means "search for a commit with this regex". Note that because the change is in verify_filename() and not in its helper check_filename(), this doesn't affect the verify_non_filename() case. I.e., if an item that matches our new rule doesn't resolve as an object, we may fallback to treating it as a pathspec (rather than complaining it doesn't exist). But if it does resolve (e.g., as a file in the index that starts with an open-paren), we won't then complain that it's also a valid pathspec. This matches the wildcard-exception behavior. And of course in either case, one can always insert the "--" to get more precise results. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

We handle arguments with the ":/" pathspec magic specially, making sure the name exists at the top-level. We'll want to handle more pathspec magic in future patches, so let's do a little rearranging to make that easier. Instead of relying on an if/else cascade to avoid the prefix_filename() call, we'll just set prefix to NULL. Likewise, we'll get rid of the "name" variable entirely, and just push the "arg" pointer forward to skip past the magic. That means by the time we get to the prefix-handling, we're set up appropriately whether we saw ":/" or not. Note that this does impact the final error message we produce when stat() fails, as it shows "arg" (which we'll have modified to skip magic and include the prefix). This is a good thing; the original message would say something like "failed to stat ':/foo'", which is confusing (we tried to stat "foo").

2017-03-21prefix_filename: return newly allocated stringLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+8
The prefix_filename() function returns a pointer to static storage, which makes it easy to use dangerously. We already fixed one buggy caller in hash-object recently, and the calls in apply.c are suspicious (I didn't dig in enough to confirm that there is a bug, but we call the function once in apply_all_patches() and then again indirectly from parse_chunk()). Let's make it harder to get wrong by allocating the return value. For simplicity, we'll do this even when the prefix is empty (and we could just return the original file pointer). That will cause us to allocate sometimes when we wouldn't otherwise need to, but this function isn't called in performance critical code-paths (and it already _might_ allocate on any given call, so a caller that cares about performance is questionable anyway). The downside is that the callers need to remember to free() the result to avoid leaking. Most of them already used xstrdup() on the result, so we know they are OK. The remainder have been converted to use free() as appropriate. I considered retaining a prefix_filename_unsafe() for cases where we know the static lifetime is OK (and handling the cleanup is awkward). This is only a handful of cases, though, and it's not worth the mental energy in worrying about whether the "unsafe" variant is OK to use in any situation.

This saves callers specifying it (and in some cases handling a NULL prefix). In a handful of cases we had the length already without calling strlen, so this is technically slower. But it's not likely to matter (after all, if the prefix is non-empty we'll allocate and copy it into a buffer anyway).

2017-03-14setup_git_directory_gently_1(): avoid die()ingLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-8/+17
This function now has a new caller in addition to setup_git_directory(): the newly introduced discover_git_directory(). That function wants to discover the current .git/ directory, and in case of a corrupted one simply pretend that there is none to be found. Example: if a stale .git file exists in the parent directory, and the user calls `git -p init`, we want Git to simply *not* read any repository config for the pager (instead of aborting with a message that the .git file is corrupt). Let's actually pretend that there was no GIT_DIR to be found in that case when being called from discover_git_directory(), but keep the previous behavior (i.e. to die()) for the setup_git_directory() case.

2017-03-14setup: introduce the discover_git_directory() functionLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+43
We modified the setup_git_directory_gently_1() function earlier to make it possible to discover the GIT_DIR without changing global state. However, it is still a bit cumbersome to use if you only need to figure out the (possibly absolute) path of the .git/ directory. Let's just provide a convenient wrapper function with an easier signature that *just* discovers the .git/ directory. We will use it in a subsequent patch to fix the early config.

2017-03-14setup_git_directory_1(): avoid changing global stateLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-75/+118
For historical reasons, Git searches for the .git/ directory (or the .git file) by changing the working directory successively to the parent directory of the current directory, until either anything was found or until a ceiling or a mount point is hit. Further global state may be changed in case a .git/ directory was found. We do have a use case, though, where we would like to find the .git/ directory without having any global state touched, though: when we read the early config e.g. for the pager or for alias expansion. Let's just move all of code that changes any global state out of the function `setup_git_directory_gently_1()` into `setup_git_directory_gently()`. In subsequent patches, we will use the _1() function in a new `discover_git_directory()` function that we will then use for the early config code. Note: the new loop is a *little* tricky, as we have to handle the root directory specially: we cannot simply strip away the last component including the slash, as the root directory only has that slash. To remedy that, we introduce the `min_offset` variable that holds the minimal length of an absolute path, and using that to special-case the root directory, including an early exit before trying to find the parent of the root directory.

2017-03-14setup: prepare setup_discovered_git_dir() for the root directoryLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+4
Currently, the offset parameter (indicating what part of the cwd parameter corresponds to the current directory after discovering the .git/ directory) is set to 0 when we are running in the root directory. However, in the next patches we will avoid changing the current working directory while searching for the .git/ directory, meaning that the offset corresponding to the root directory will have to be 1 to reflect that this directory is characterized by the path "/" (and not ""). So let's make sure that setup_discovered_git_directory() only tries to append the trailing slash to non-root directories. Note: the setup_bare_git_directory() does not need a corresponding change, as it does not want to return a prefix.

2017-03-12Merge branch 'js/realpath-pathdup-fix'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
Git v2.12 was shipped with an embarrassing breakage where various operations that verify paths given from the user stopped dying when seeing an issue, and instead later triggering segfault. * js/realpath-pathdup-fix: real_pathdup(): fix callsites that wanted it to die on error t1501: demonstrate NULL pointer access with invalid GIT_WORK_TREE

An helper function to make it easier to append the result from real_path() to a strbuf has been added. * rs/strbuf-add-real-path: strbuf: add strbuf_add_real_path() cocci: use ALLOC_ARRAY
2017-03-08real_pathdup(): fix callsites that wanted it to die on errorLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+2
In 4ac9006f832 (real_path: have callers use real_pathdup and strbuf_realpath, 2016-12-12), we changed the xstrdup(real_path()) pattern to use real_pathdup() directly. The problem with this change is that real_path() calls strbuf_realpath() with die_on_error = 1 while real_pathdup() calls it with die_on_error = 0. Meaning that in cases where real_path() causes Git to die() with an error message, real_pathdup() is silent and returns NULL instead. The callers, however, are ill-prepared for that change, as they expect the return value to be non-NULL (and otherwise the function died with an appropriate error message). Fix this by extending real_pathdup()'s signature to accept the die_on_error flag and simply pass it through to strbuf_realpath(), and then adjust all callers after a careful audit whether they would handle NULLs well.
