2012-10-29setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks in ceiling pathsLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-13/+13
longest_ancestor_length() relies on a textual comparison of directory parts to find the part of path that overlaps with one of the paths in prefix_list. But this doesn't work if any of the prefixes involves a symbolic link, because the directories will look different even though they might logically refer to the same directory. So canonicalize the paths listed in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES using real_path_if_valid() before passing them to longest_ancestor_length(). (Also rename normalize_ceiling_entry() to canonicalize_ceiling_entry() to reflect the change.) path is already in canonical form, so doesn't need to be canonicalized again. This fixes some problems with using GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES that contains paths involving symlinks, including t4035 if run with --root set to a path involving symlinks. Please note that test t0060 is *not* changed analogously, because that would make the test suite results dependent on the contents of the local root directory. However, real_path() is already tested independently, and the "ancestor" tests cover the non-normalization aspects of longest_ancestor_length(), so coverage remains sufficient.

2012-10-29longest_ancestor_length(): require prefix list entries to be normalizedLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+23
Move the responsibility for normalizing prefixes from longest_ancestor_length() to its callers. Use slightly different normalizations at the two callers: In setup_git_directory_gently_1(), use the old normalization, which ignores paths that are not usable. In the next commit we will change this caller to also resolve symlinks in the paths from GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES as part of the normalization. In "test-path-utils longest_ancestor_length", use the old normalization, but die() if any paths are unusable. Also change t0060 to only pass normalized paths to the test program (no empty entries or non-absolute paths, strip trailing slashes from the paths, and remove tests that thereby become redundant). The point of this change is to reduce the scope of the ancestor_length tests in t0060 from testing normalization+longest_prefix to testing only mostly longest_prefix. This is necessary because when setup_git_directory_gently_1() starts resolving symlinks as part of its normalization, it will not be reasonable to do the same in the test suite, because that would make the test results depend on the contents of the root directory of the filesystem on which the test is run. HOWEVER: under Windows, bash mangles arguments that look like absolute POSIX paths into DOS paths. So we have to retain the level of normalization done by normalize_path_copy() to convert the bash-mangled DOS paths (which contain backslashes) into paths that use forward slashes.

verify_filename() can be called in two different contexts. Either we just tried to interpret a string as an object name, and it fails, so we try looking for a working tree file (i.e. we finished looking at revs that come earlier on the command line, and the next argument must be a pathname), or we _know_ that we are looking for a pathname, and shouldn't even try interpreting the string as an object name. For example, with this change, we get: $ git log COPYING HEAD:inexistant fatal: HEAD:inexistant: no such path in the working tree. Use '-- <path>...' to specify paths that do not exist locally. $ git log HEAD:inexistant fatal: Path 'inexistant' does not exist in 'HEAD' Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-04-15properly keep track of current working directoryLibravatar Clemens Buchacher1-9/+13
Various failure modes in the repository detection code path currently quote the wrong directory in their error message. The working directory is changed iteratively to the parent directory until a git repository is found. If the working directory cannot be changed to the parent directory for some reason, the detection gives up and prints an error message. The error message should report the current working directory. Instead of continually updating the 'cwd' variable, which is actually used to remember the original working directory, the 'offset' variable is used to keep track of the current working directory. At the point where the affected error handling code is called, 'offset' already points to the end of the parent of the working directory, rather than the current working directory. Fix this by explicitly using a variable 'offset_parent' and update 'offset' concurrently with the call to chdir. In a similar fashion, the function get_device_or_die() would print the original working directory in case of a failure, rather than the current working directory. Fix this as well by making use of the 'offset' variable. Lastly, replace the phrase 'mount parent' with 'mount point'. The former appears to be a typo.

2012-02-02standardize and improve lookup rules for external local reposLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
When you specify a local repository on the command line of clone, ls-remote, upload-pack, receive-pack, or upload-archive, or in a request to git-daemon, we perform a little bit of lookup magic, doing things like looking in working trees for .git directories and appending ".git" for bare repos. For clone, this magic happens in get_repo_path. For everything else, it happens in enter_repo. In both cases, there are some ambiguous or confusing cases that aren't handled well, and there is one case that is not handled the same by both methods. This patch tries to provide (and test!) standard, sensible lookup rules for both code paths. The intended changes are: 1. When looking up "foo", we have always preferred a working tree "foo" (containing "foo/.git" over the bare "foo.git". But we did not prefer a bare "foo" over "foo.git". With this patch, we do so. 2. We would select directories that existed but didn't actually look like git repositories. With this patch, we make sure a selected directory looks like a git repo. Not only is this more sensible in general, but it will help anybody who is negatively affected by change (1) negatively (e.g., if they had "foo.git" next to its separate work tree "foo", and expect to keep finding "foo.git" when they reference "foo"). 3. The enter_repo code path would, given "foo", look for "foo.git/.git" (i.e., do the ".git" append magic even for a repo with working tree). The clone code path did not; with this patch, they now behave the same. In the unlikely case of a working tree overlaying a bare repo (i.e., a ".git" directory _inside_ a bare repo), we continue to treat it as a working tree (prefering the "inner" .git over the bare repo). This is mainly because the combination seems nonsensical, and I'd rather stick with existing behavior on the off chance that somebody is relying on it.

2011-08-02commit: allow partial commits with relative pathsLibravatar Clemens Buchacher1-0/+32
In order to do partial commits, git-commit overlays a tree on the cache and checks pathspecs against the result. Currently, the overlaying is done using "prefix" which prevents relative pathspecs with ".." and absolute pathspec from matching when they refer to files not under "prefix" and absent from the index, but still in the tree (i.e. files staged for removal). The point of providing a prefix at all is performance optimization. If we say there is no common prefix for the files of interest, then we have to read the entire tree into the index. But even if we cannot use the working directory as a prefix, we can still figure out if there is a common prefix for all given paths, and use that instead. The pathspec_prefix() routine from ls-files.c does exactly that. Any use of global variables is removed from pathspec_prefix() so that it can be called from commit.c.

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.

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>

2010-12-27setup_work_tree: adjust relative $GIT_WORK_TREE after moving cwdLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+8
When setup_work_tree() is called, it moves cwd to $GIT_WORK_TREE and makes internal copy of $GIT_WORK_TREE absolute. The environt variable, if set by user, remains unchanged. If the variable is relative, it is no longer correct because its base dir has changed. Instead of making $GIT_WORK_TREE absolute too, we just say "." and let subsequent git processes handle it.

2010-12-22setup: rework setup_explicit_git_dir()Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-60/+78
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.
