GIT_PREFIX was added in 7cf16a14f5c070f7b14cf28023769450133172ae so that aliases can know the directory from which a !alias was called. Knowing the prefix relative to the root is helpful in other programs so export it to built-ins as well.

Otherwise, a negative error return becomes a very large read value. We catch this in practice because we compare the expected and actual numbers of bytes (and you are not likely to be reading (size_t)-1 bytes), but this makes the correctness a little more obvious.

2011-05-10fix overslow :/no-such-string-ever-existed diagnosticsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
"git cmd :/no-such-string-ever-existed" runs an extra round of get_sha1() since 009fee4 (Detailed diagnosis when parsing an object name fails., 2009-12-07). Once without error diagnosis to see there is no commit with such a string in the log message (hence "it cannot be a ref"), and after seeing that :/no-such-string-ever-existed is not a filename (hence "it cannot be a path, either"), another time to give "better diagnosis". The thing is, the second time it runs, we already know that traversing the history all the way down to the root will _not_ find any matching commit. Rename misguided "gently" parameter, which is turned off _only_ when the "detailed diagnosis" codepath knows that it cannot be a ref and making the call only for the caller to die with a message. Flip its meaning (and adjust the callers) and call it "only_to_die", which is not a great name, but it describes far more clearly what the codepaths that switches their behaviour based on this variable do. On my box, the command spends ~1.8 seconds without the patch to make the report; with the patch it spends ~1.12 seconds. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

We may want to give the pathspec subsystem such a feature, but not while we are still using get_pathspec() that returns a stupid "char **" that loses subtle nuances that existed in the input string. In the meantime, the callers of get_pathspec() that want to support it could do an equivalent before feeding their argv[] to the function themselves quite easily.

2011-04-08magic pathspec: futureproof shorthand formLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+8
The earlier design was to take whatever non-alnum that the short format parser happens to support, leaving the rest as part of the pattern, so a version of git that knows '*' magic and a version that does not would have behaved differently when given ":*Makefile". The former would have applied the '*' magic to the pattern "Makefile", while the latter would used no magic to the pattern "*Makefile". Instead, just reserve all non-alnum ASCII letters that are neither glob nor regexp special as potential magic signature, and when we see a magic that is not supported, die with an error message, just like the longhand codepath does. With this, ":%#!*Makefile" will always mean "%#!" magic applied to the pattern "*Makefile", no matter what version of git is used (it is a different matter if the version of git supports all of these three magic matching rules). Also make ':' without anything else to mean "there is no pathspec". This would allow differences between "git log" and "git log ." run from the top level of the working tree (the latter simplifies no-op commits away from the history) to be expressed from a subdirectory by saying "git log :".

2011-04-06magic pathspec: add tentative ":/path/from/top/level" pathspec supportLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+96
Support ":/" magic string that can be prefixed to a pathspec element to say "this names the path from the top-level of the working tree", when you are in the subdirectory. For example, you should be able to say: $ edit Makefile ;# top-level $ cd Documentation $ edit git.txt ;# in the subdirectory and then do one of three things, still inside the subdirectory: $ git add -u . ;# add only Documentation/git.txt $ git add -u :/ ;# add everything, including paths outside Documentation $ git add -u ;# whatever the default setting is. To truly support magic pathspec, the API needs to be restructured so that get_pathspec() and init_pathspec() are unified into one call. Currently, the former just prefixes the user supplied pathspec with the current subdirectory path, and the latter takes the output from the former and pre-parses them into a bit richer structure for easier handling. They should become a single API function that takes the current subdirectory path and the remainder of argv[] (after parsing --options and revision arguments from the command line) and returns an array of parsed pathspec elements, and "magic" should become attributes of struct pathspec_item. This patch implements only "top" magic because it can be hacked into the system without such a refactoring. The syntax for magic pathspec prefix is designed to be extensible yet simple to type to invoke a simple magic like "from the top". The parser for the magic prefix is hooked into get_pathspec() function in this patch, and it needs to be moved when we refactor the API. But we have to start from somewhere.

* cb/setup: setup: translate symlinks in filename when using absolute paths
2011-01-21Subject: setup: officially support --work-tree without --git-dirLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+19
The original intention of --work-tree was to allow people to work in a subdirectory of their working tree that does not have an embedded .git directory. Because their working tree, which their $cwd was in, did not have an embedded .git, they needed to use $GIT_DIR to specify where it is, and because this meant there was no way to discover where the root level of the working tree was, so we needed to add $GIT_WORK_TREE to tell git where it was. However, this facility has long been (mis)used by people's scripts to start git from a working tree _with_ an embedded .git directory, let git find .git directory, and then pretend as if an unrelated directory were the associated working tree of the .git directory found by the discovery process. It happens to work in simple cases, and is not worth causing "regression" to these scripts. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This function is the most complex one among the three setup_* functions because all GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE, core.worktree and core.bare are involved. Because core.worktree is only effective inside setup_explicit_git_dir() and the extra code in setup_git_directory() is to handle that. The extra code can now be retired. Also note that setup_explicit assignment is removed, worktree setting is no longer decided by get_git_work_tree(). get_git_work_tree() will be simplified in the next commit.

2010-12-22setup: limit get_git_work_tree()'s to explicit setup case onlyLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+8
get_git_work_tree() takes input as core.worktree, core.bare, GIT_WORK_TREE and decides correct worktree setting. Unfortunately it does not do its job well. core.worktree and GIT_WORK_TREE should only be taken into account, if GIT_DIR is set (which is handled by setup_explicit_git_dir). For other setup cases, only core.bare matters. Add a temporary variable setup_explicit to adjust get_git_work_tree() behavior as such. This variable will be gone once setup_* rework is done. Also remove is_bare_repository_cfg check in set_git_work_tree() to ease the rework. We are going to check for core.bare and core.worktree early before setting worktree. For example, if core.bare is true, no need to set worktree. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-12-07setup: save prefix (original cwd relative to toplevel) in startup_infoLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+3
Save the path from the original cwd to the cwd at the end of the setup procedure in the startup_info struct introduced in e37c1329 (2010-08-05). The value cannot vary from thread to thread anyway, since the cwd is global. So now in your builtin command, instead of passing prefix around, when you want to convert a user-supplied path to a cwd-relative path, you can use startup_info->prefix directly. Caveat: As with the return value from setup_git_directory_gently(), startup_info->prefix would be NULL when the original cwd is not a subdir of the toplevel. Longer term, this would allow the prefix to be reused when several noncooperating functions require access to the same repository (for example, when accessing configuration before running a builtin).

2010-08-11setup: remember whether repository was foundLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+11
As v1.7.2~16^2 (git --paginate: paginate external commands again, 2010-07-14) explains, builtins (like git config) that do not use RUN_SETUP are not finding GIT_DIR set correctly when it is time to launch the pager from run_builtin(). If they were to search for a repository sooner, then the outcome of such early repository accesses would be more predictable and reliable. The cmd_*() functions learn whether a repository was found through the *nongit_ok return value from setup_git_directory_gently(). If run_builtin() is to take care of the repository search itself, that datum needs to be retrievable from somewhere else. Use the startup_info struct for this. As a bonus, this information becomes available to functions such as git_config() which might want to avoid trying to access a repository when none is present.

The original declaration was int, which seems to cause trouble on my machine. It causes spurious "filesystem boundary" errors when running the testsuite. The cause seems to be $ stat -c%d . 2147549952 which is too large for a 32-bit int type. Using the correct type, dev_t, solves the issue. (Because I'm paranoid and forgetful, I checked -- yes, Unix v7 had dev_t.) Other uses of st_dev seem to be reasonably safe. fill_stat_cache_info truncates it to an 'unsigned int', but that value seems to be used only to validate the cache, and only if USE_STDEV is defined.

2010-04-04GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM: flip the default to stop at filesystem boundariesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
Regarding the new environment variable, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> writes on Tue, 30 Mar 2010 in <alpine.LFD.2.00.1003301537150.3707@i5.linux-foundation.org>: I suspect that it is _very_ unusual to have a source repo that crosses multiple filesystems, and the original reason for this patch-series seems to me to be likely to be more common than that multi-fs case. So having the logic go the other way would seem to match the common case, no? The "crossing filesystem boundary" condition is checked by comparing st_dev field in the result from stat(2). This is slightly worrysome if non-POSIX ports return different values in the field even for directories in the same work tree extracted to the same "filesystem". Erik Faye-Lund confirms that in the msysgit port st_dev is 0, so this should be safe, as "even Windows is safe" ;-) This will affect those who use /.git to cram /etc and /home/me in the same repostiory, /home is mounted from non-root filesystem, and a git operation is done from inside /home/me/src. But that is such a corner case we don't want to give preference over helping people who will benefit from having this default so that they do not have to suffer from slow automounters.

2010-03-28Add support for GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEMLibravatar Lars R. Damerow1-0/+25
This patch makes git pay attention to the GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM environment variable. When that variable is set, git will stop searching for a GIT_DIR when it attempts to cross a filesystem boundary. When working in an environment with too many automount points to make maintaining a GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list enjoyable, GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM gives the option of turning all such attempts off with one setting.
