2013-06-26path.c: refactor relative_path(), not only strip prefixLibravatar Jiang Xin1-1/+4
Original design of relative_path() is simple, just strip the prefix (*base) from the absolute path (*abs). In most cases, we need a real relative path, such as: ../foo, ../../bar. That's why there is another reimplementation (path_relative()) in quote.c. Borrow some codes from path_relative() in quote.c to refactor relative_path() in path.c, so that it could return real relative path, and user can reuse this function without reimplementing his/her own. The function path_relative() in quote.c will be substituted, and I would use the new relative_path() function when implementing the interactive git-clean later. Different results for relative_path() before and after this refactor: abs path base path relative (original) relative (refactor) ======== ========= =================== =================== /a/b /a/b . ./ /a/b/ /a/b . ./ /a /a/b/ /a ../ / /a/b/ / ../../ /a/c /a/b/ /a/c ../c /x/y /a/b/ /x/y ../../x/y a/b/ a/b/ . ./ a/b/ a/b . ./ a a/b a ../ x/y a/b/ x/y ../../x/y a/c a/b a/c ../c (empty) (null) (empty) ./ (empty) (empty) (empty) ./ (empty) /a/b (empty) ./ (null) (null) (null) ./ (null) (empty) (null) ./ (null) /a/b (segfault) ./ You may notice that return value "." has been changed to "./". It is because: * Function quote_path_relative() in quote.c will show the relative path as "./" if abs(in) and base(prefix) are the same. * Function relative_path() is called only once (in setup.c), and it will be OK for the return value as "./" instead of ".".

2013-03-08setup: suppress implicit "." work-tree for bare reposLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+8
If an explicit GIT_DIR is given without a working tree, we implicitly assume that the current working directory should be used as the working tree. E.g.,: GIT_DIR=/some/repo.git git status would compare against the cwd. Unfortunately, we fool this rule for sub-invocations of git by setting GIT_DIR internally ourselves. For example: git init foo cd foo/.git git status ;# fails, as we expect git config alias.st status git status ;# does not fail, but should What happens is that we run setup_git_directory when doing alias lookup (since we need to see the config), set GIT_DIR as a result, and then leave GIT_WORK_TREE blank (because we do not have one). Then when we actually run the status command, we do setup_git_directory again, which sees our explicit GIT_DIR and uses the cwd as an implicit worktree. It's tempting to argue that we should be suppressing that second invocation of setup_git_directory, as it could use the values we already found in memory. However, the problem still exists for sub-processes (e.g., if "git status" were an external command). You can see another example with the "--bare" option, which sets GIT_DIR explicitly. For example: git init foo cd foo/.git git status ;# fails git --bare status ;# does NOT fail We need some way of telling sub-processes "even though GIT_DIR is set, do not use cwd as an implicit working tree". We could do it by putting a special token into GIT_WORK_TREE, but the obvious choice (an empty string) has some portability problems. Instead, we add a new boolean variable, GIT_IMPLICIT_WORK_TREE, which suppresses the use of cwd as a working tree when GIT_DIR is set. We trigger the new variable when we know we are in a bare setting. The variable is left intentionally undocumented, as this is an internal detail (for now, anyway). If somebody comes up with a good alternate use for it, and once we are confident we have shaken any bugs out of it, we can consider promoting it further.

2013-03-08environment: add GIT_PREFIX to local_repo_envLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
The GIT_PREFIX variable is set based on our location within the working tree. It should therefore be cleared whenever GIT_WORK_TREE is cleared. In practice, this doesn't cause any bugs, because none of the sub-programs we invoke with local_repo_env cleared actually care about GIT_PREFIX. But this is the right thing to do, and future proofs us against that assumption changing. While we're at it, let's define a GIT_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT macro; this avoids repetition of the string literal, which can help catch any spelling mistakes in the code.

2013-02-27Merge branch 'mh/maint-ceil-absolute'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-10/+22
An earlier workaround designed to help people who list logical directories that will not match what getcwd(3) returns in the GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES had an adverse effect when it is slow to stat and readlink a directory component of an element listed on it. * mh/maint-ceil-absolute: Provide a mechanism to turn off symlink resolution in ceiling paths
2013-02-22Provide a mechanism to turn off symlink resolution in ceiling pathsLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-10/+22
Commit 1b77d83cab 'setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks in ceiling paths' changed the setup code to resolve symlinks in the entries in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES. Because those entries are compared textually to the symlink-resolved current directory, an entry in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES that contained a symlink would have no effect. It was known that this could cause performance problems if the symlink resolution *itself* touched slow filesystems, but it was thought that such use cases would be unlikely. The intention of the earlier change was to deal with a case when the user has this: GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/home/gitster but in reality, /home/gitster is a symbolic link to somewhere else, e.g. /net/machine/home4/gitster. A textual comparison between the specified value /home/gitster and the location getcwd(3) returns would not help us, but readlink("/home/gitster") would still be fast. After this change was released, Anders Kaseorg <andersk@mit.edu> reported: > [...] my computer has been acting so slow when I’m not connected to > the network. I put various network filesystem paths in > $GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES, such as > /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a/n/andersk (to avoid hitting its parents > /afs/athena.mit.edu, /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a, and > /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a/n which all live in different AFS > volumes). Now when I’m not connected to the network, every > invocation of Git, including the __git_ps1 in my shell prompt, waits > for AFS to timeout. To allow users to work around this problem, give them a mechanism to turn off symlink resolution in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES entries. All the entries that follow an empty entry will not be checked for symbolic links and used literally in comparison. E.g. with these: GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=:/foo/bar:/xyzzy or GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/foo/bar::/xyzzy we will not readlink("/xyzzy") because it comes after an empty entry. With the former (but not with the latter), "/foo/bar" comes after an empty entry, and we will not readlink it, either.

2013-01-21Update :/abc ambiguity checkLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+8
:/abc may mean two things: - as a revision, it means the revision that has "abc" in commit message. - as a pathpec, it means "abc" from root. Currently we see ":/abc" as a rev (most of the time), but never see it as a pathspec even if "abc" exists and "git log :/abc" will gladly take ":/abc" as rev even it's ambiguous. This patch makes it: - ambiguous when "abc" exists on worktree - a rev if abc does not exist on worktree - a path if abc is not found in any commits (although better use "--" to avoid ambiguation because searching through commit DAG is expensive) A plus from this patch is, because ":/" never matches anything as a rev, it is never considered a valid rev and because root directory always exists, ":/" is always unambiguously seen as a pathspec.

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.

For example, with this change, we get: $ git log COPYING HEAD:inexistant fatal: HEAD:inexistant: no such path in the working tree.

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.

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.

2011-05-26setup: Provide GIT_PREFIX to built-insLibravatar David Aguilar1-0/+5
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.

2011-05-26read_gitfile_gently: use ssize_t to hold read resultLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
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.

In particular, sparse issues the "symbol 'a_symbol' was not declared. Should it be static?" warnings for the following symbols: setup.c:159:3: 'pathspec_magic' setup.c:176:12: 'prefix_pathspec' These symbols only require file scope, so we add the static modifier to their declarations.

A colon followed by anything !isalnum() (e.g. ":/heh") at this point is known not to be an existing rev. Just give a generic "neither a rev nor a path" error message. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
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>
