2017-06-15discover_git_directory(): avoid setting invalid git_dirLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+1
When discovering a .git/ directory, we take pains to ensure that its repository format version matches Git's expectations, and we return NULL otherwise. 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.

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.

2017-03-21prefix_filename: drop length parameterLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
This function takes the prefix as a ptr/len pair, but in every caller the length is exactly strlen(ptr). Let's simplify the interface and just take the string. 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.

2017-03-08real_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.

Avoid this problem by substituting prefix with "" when len==0, as prefix can legally be NULL in that case. This would mimick the intent of the original code better. Reported-by: Tom G.

2016-03-11setup: unify repository version callbacksLibravatar Jeff King1-42/+23
Once upon a time, check_repository_format_gently would parse the config with a single callback, and that callback would set up a bunch of global variables. But now that we have separate workdirs, we have to be more careful. Commit 31e26eb (setup.c: support multi-checkout repo setup, 2014-11-30) introduced a reduced callback which omits some values like core.worktree. In the "main" callback we call the reduced one, and then add back in the missing variables. Now that we have split the config-parsing from the munging of the global variables, we can do it all with a single callback, and keep all of the "are we in a separate workdir" logic together.

2016-03-11setup: refactor repo format reading and verificationLibravatar Jeff King1-39/+79
When we want to know if we're in a git repository of reasonable vintage, we can call check_repository_format_gently(), which does three things: 1. Reads the config from the .git/config file. 2. Verifies that the version info we read is sane. 3. Writes some global variables based on this. There are a few things we could improve here. One is that steps 1 and 3 happen together. So if the verification in step 2 fails, we still clobber the global variables. This is especially bad if we go on to try another repository directory; we may end up with a state of mixed config variables. The second is there's no way to ask about the repository version for anything besides the main repository we're in. git-init wants to do this, and it's possible that we would want to start doing so for submodules (e.g., to find out which ref backend they're using). We can improve both by splitting the first two steps into separate functions. Now check_repository_format_gently() calls out to steps 1 and 2, and does 3 only if step 2 succeeds. Note that the public interface for read_repository_format() and what check_repository_format_gently() needs from it are not quite the same, leading us to have an extra read_repository_format_1() helper. The extra needs from check_repository_format_gently() will go away in a future patch, and we can simplify this then to just the public interface.

2016-03-11check_repository_format_gently: stop using git_config_earlyLibravatar Jeff King1-8/+3
There's a chicken-and-egg problem with using the regular git_config during the repository setup process. We get around it here by using a special interface that lets us specify the per-repo config, and avoid calling git_pathdup(). But this interface doesn't actually make sense. It will look in the system and per-user config, too; we definitely would not want to accept a core.repositoryformatversion from there.

2016-03-11lazily load core.sharedrepositoryLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+0
The "shared_repository" config is loaded as part of check_repository_format_version, but it's not quite like the other values we check there. Something like core.repositoryformatversion only makes sense in per-repo config, but core.sharedrepository can be set in a per-user config (e.g., to make all "git init" invocations shared by default). So it would make more sense as part of git_default_config. Commit 457f06d (Introduce core.sharedrepository, 2005-12-22) says: [...]the config variable is set in the function which checks the repository format. If this were done in git_default_config instead, a lot of programs would need to be modified to call git_config(git_default_config) first. This is still the case today, but we have one extra trick up our sleeve. Now that we have the git_configset infrastructure, it's not so expensive for us to ask for a single value. So we can simply lazy-load it on demand. This should be OK to do in general. There are some problems with loading config before setup_git_directory() is called, but we shouldn't be accessing the value before then (if we were, then it would already be broken, as the variable would not have been set by check_repository_format_version!).

2016-03-06setup: set startup_info->have_repository more reliablyLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
When setup_git_directory() is called, we set a flag in startup_info to indicate we have a repository. But there are a few other mechanisms by which we might set up a repo: 1. When creating a new repository via init_db(), we transition from no-repo to being in a repo. We should tweak this flag at that moment. 2. In enter_repo(), a stricter form of setup_git_directory() used by server-side programs, we check the repository format config. After doing so, we know we're in a repository, and can set the flag. With these changes, library code can now reliably tell whether we are in a repository and act accordingly. We'll leave the "prefix" field as NULL, which is what happens when setup_git_directory() finds there is no prefix.

2016-03-06setup: make startup_info available everywhereLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+6
Commit a60645f (setup: remember whether repository was found, 2010-08-05) introduced the startup_info structure, which records some parts of the setup_git_directory() process (notably, whether we actually found a repository or not). One of the uses of this data is for functions to behave appropriately based on whether we are in a repo. But the startup_info struct is just a pointer to storage provided by the main program, and the only program that sets it up is the git.c wrapper. Thus builtins have access to startup_info, but externally linked programs do not. Worse, library code which is accessible from both has to be careful about accessing startup_info. This can be used to trigger a die("BUG") via get_sha1(): $ git fast-import <<-\EOF tag foo from HEAD:./whatever EOF fatal: BUG: startup_info struct is not initialized. Obviously that's fairly nonsensical input to feed to fast-import, but we should never hit a die("BUG"). And there may be other ways to trigger it if other non-builtins resolve sha1s. So let's point the storage for startup_info to a static variable in setup.c, making it available to all users of the library code. We _could_ turn startup_info into a regular extern struct, but doing so would mean tweaking all of the existing use sites. So let's leave the pointer indirection in place. We can, however, drop any checks for NULL, as they will always be false (and likewise, we can drop the test covering this case, which was a rather artificial situation using one of the test-* programs).

We frequently allocate strings as xmalloc(len + 1), where the extra 1 is for the NUL terminator. This can be done more simply with xmallocz, which also checks for integer overflow. There's no case where switching xmalloc(n+1) to xmallocz(n) is wrong; the result is the same length, and malloc made no guarantees about what was in the buffer anyway. But in some cases, we can stop manually placing NUL at the end of the allocated buffer. But that's only safe if it's clear that the contents will always fill the buffer. In each case where this patch does so, I manually examined the control flow, and I tried to err on the side of caution.

Resolve each item with get_sha1(). If successful, we know it can be a <rev>. Verify that it _isn't_ a filename, using verify_non_filename(), and complain of ambiguity otherwise. 2. If get_sha1() didn't succeed, make sure that it _is_ a file, using verify_filename(). If not, complain that it is neither a <rev> nor a <pathspec>. Both verify_filename() and verify_non_filename() rely on check_filename(), which definitely said "yes, this is a file" or "no, it is not" using lstat(). Commit 28fcc0b (pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is used, 2015-05-02) introduced a convenience feature: check_filename() will consider anything with wildcard meta-characters as a possible filename, without even checking the filesystem. This works well for case 2. For such a wildcard, we would previously have died and said "it is neither". Post-28fcc0b, we assume it's a pathspec and proceed. But it makes some instances of case 1 worse. We may have an extended sha1 expression that contains meta-characters (e.g., "HEAD^{/foo.*bar}"), and we now complain that it's also a filename, due to the wildcard characters (even though that wildcard would not match anything in the filesystem). One solution would be to actually expand the pathname and see if it matches anything on the filesystem. But that's potentially expensive, and we do not have to be so rigorous for this DWIM magic (if you want rigor, use "--"). Instead, we can just use different rules for cases 1 and 2. When we know something is a rev, we will complain only if it meets a much higher standard for "this is also a file"; namely that it actually exists in the filesystem. Case 2 remains the same: we use the looser "it could be a filename" standard introduced by 28fcc0b. We can accomplish this by pulling the wildcard logic out of check_filename() and putting it into verify_filename(). Its partner verify_non_filename() does not need a change, since check_filename() goes back to implementing the "higher standard". Besides these two callers of check_filename(), there is one other: git-checkout does a similar DWIM itself. It hits this code path only after get_sha1() has returned failure, making it case 2, which gets the special wildcard treatment. Note that we drop the tests in t2019 in favor of a more complete set in t6133. t2019 was not the right place for them (it's about refname ambiguity, not dwim parsing ambiguity), and the second test explicitly checked for the opposite result of the case we are fixing here (which didn't really make any sense; as shown by the test_must_fail in the test, it would only serve to annoy people).

2016-01-25clean: make is_git_repository a public functionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+17
We have always had is_git_directory(), for looking at a specific directory to see if it contains a git repo. In 0179ca7 (clean: improve performance when removing lots of directories, 2015-06-15), we added is_git_repository() which checks for a non-bare repository by looking at its ".git" entry. However, the fix in 0179ca7 needs to be applied other places, too. Let's make this new helper globally available. We need to give it a better name, though, to avoid confusion with is_git_directory(). This patch does that, documents both functions with a comment to reduce confusion, and removes the clean-specific references in the comments.

2016-01-22worktree: stop supporting moving worktrees manuallyLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-12/+0
The current update_linked_gitdir() has a bug that can create "gitdir" file in non-multi-worktree setup. Worse, sometimes it can write relative path to "gitdir" file, which will not work (e.g. "git worktree list" will display the worktree's location incorrectly) Instead of fixing this, we step back a bit. The original design was probably not well thought out. For now, if the user manually moves a worktree, they have to fix up "gitdir" file manually or the worktree will get pruned.

2015-09-25replace trivial malloc + sprintf / strcpy calls with xstrfmtLibravatar Jeff King1-9/+3
It's a common pattern to do: foo = xmalloc(strlen(one) + strlen(two) + 1 + 1); sprintf(foo, "%s %s", one, two); (or possibly some variant with strcpy()s or a more complicated length computation). We can switch these to use xstrfmt, which is shorter, involves less error-prone manual computation, and removes many sprintf and strcpy calls which make it harder to audit the code for real buffer overflows.

2015-09-14path: implement common_dir handling in git_pathdup_submodule()Libravatar Max Kirillov1-5/+12
When submodule is a linked worktree, "git diff --submodule" and other calls which directly access the submodule's object database do not correctly calculate its path. Fix it by changing the git_pathdup_submodule() behavior, to use either common or per-worktree directory. Do it similarly as for parent repository, but ignore the GIT_COMMON_DIR environment variable, because it would mean common directory for the parent repository and does not make sense for submodule. Also add test for functionality which uses this call. Signed-off-by: Max Kirillov <max@max630.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
