2007-12-05Do check_repository_format() early (re-fix)Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-12/+26
This pushes check_repository_format() (actually _gently() version) to setup_git_directory_gently() in order to prevent from using unsupported repositories. New setup_git_directory_gently()'s behaviour is stop searching for a valid gitdir and return as if there is no gitdir if a unsupported repository is found. Warning will be thrown in these cases.

2007-11-03Add missing inside_work_tree setting in setup_git_directory_gentlyLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+1
When both GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE are set, and setup_git_directory_gently() changes the current working directory accordingly, it should also set inside_work_tree = 1. Without this, work_tree handling code in setup_git_directory() will be activated. If you stay in root work tree (no prefix), it does not harm. It does if you work from a subdirectory though.

2007-10-16Fix setup_git_directory_gently() with relative GIT_DIR & GIT_WORK_TREELibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+12
There are a few programs, such as config and diff, which allow running without a git repository. Therefore, they have to call setup_git_directory_gently(). However, when GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE were set, and the current directory was a subdirectory of the work tree, setup_git_directory_gently() would return a bogus NULL prefix. This patch fixes that.

2007-08-06setup.c:verify_non_filename(): don't die unnecessarily while disambiguatingLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
If you have a working tree _file_ "foo", attempt to refer to a branch "foo/bar" without -- to disambiguate, like this: $ git log foo/bar tried to make sure that foo/bar cannot be naming a working tree file "foo/bar" (in which case we would say "which one do you want? A rev or a working tree file? clarify with -- please"). We run lstat("foo/bar") to check that. If it does not succeed, there is no ambiguity. That is good. But we also checked the error status for the lstat() and expected it to fail with ENOENT. In this particular case, however, it fails with ENOTDIR. That should be treated as "expected error" as well.

2007-08-02Fix work-tree related breakagesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+14
In set_work_tree(), variable rel needs to be reinitialized to NULL on every call (it should not be static). Make sure the incoming dir variable is not too long before copying to the temporary buffer, and make sure chdir to the resulting directory succeeds. This was spotted and fixed by Alex and Johannes in a handful patch exchanges. Here is the final version.

2007-08-01Clean up work-tree handlingLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-152/+127
The old version of work-tree support was an unholy mess, barely readable, and not to the point. For example, why do you have to provide a worktree, when it is not used? As in "git status". Now it works. Another riddle was: if you can have work trees inside the git dir, why are some programs complaining that they need a work tree? IOW it is allowed to call $ git --git-dir=../ --work-tree=. bla when you really want to. In this case, you are both in the git directory and in the working tree. So, programs have to actually test for the right thing, namely if they are inside a working tree, and not if they are inside a git directory. Also, GIT_DIR=../.git should behave the same as if no GIT_DIR was specified, unless there is a repository in the current working directory. It does now. The logic to determine if a repository is bare, or has a work tree (tertium non datur), is this: --work-tree=bla overrides GIT_WORK_TREE, which overrides core.bare = true, which overrides core.worktree, which overrides GIT_DIR/.. when GIT_DIR ends in /.git, which overrides the directory in which .git/ was found. In related news, a long standing bug was fixed: when in .git/bla/x.git/, which is a bare repository, git formerly assumed ../.. to be the appropriate git dir. This problem was reported by Shawn Pearce to have caused much pain, where a colleague mistakenly ran "git init" in "/" a long time ago, and bare repositories just would not work.

2007-07-11Fix core.sharedRepository = 2Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+4
For compatibility reasons, "git init --shared=all" does not write "all" into the config, but a number. In the shared setup, you really have to support even older clients on the _same_ repository. But git_config_perm() did not pick up on it. Also, "git update-server-info" failed to pick up on the shared permissions. This patch fixes both issues, and adds a test to prove it.

In user space, and for getcwd(), the check to see if the resulting path begins with a '/' does not make sense. This is merely a mistake by Linus who is so used to code for the kernel, where a d_path() return value pathname can be either a real path, or something like "pipe:[8003]", and the difference is the '/' at the beginning.

2007-06-06introduce GIT_WORK_TREE to specify the work treeLibravatar Matthias Lederhofer1-55/+156
setup_gdg is used as abbreviation for setup_git_directory_gently. The work tree can be specified using the environment variable GIT_WORK_TREE and the config option core.worktree (the environment variable has precendence over the config option). Additionally there is a command line option --work-tree which sets the environment variable. setup_gdg does the following now: GIT_DIR unspecified repository in .git directory parent directory of the .git directory is used as work tree, GIT_WORK_TREE is ignored GIT_DIR unspecified repository in cwd GIT_DIR is set to cwd see the cases with GIT_DIR specified what happens next and also see the note below GIT_DIR specified GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree unspecified cwd is used as work tree GIT_DIR specified GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree specified the specified work tree is used Note on the case where GIT_DIR is unspecified and repository is in cwd: GIT_WORK_TREE is used but is_inside_git_dir is always true. I did it this way because setup_gdg might be called multiple times (e.g. when doing alias expansion) and in successive calls setup_gdg should do the same thing every time. Meaning of is_bare/is_inside_work_tree/is_inside_git_dir: (1) is_bare_repository A repository is bare if core.bare is true or core.bare is unspecified and the name suggests it is bare (directory not named .git). The bare option disables a few protective checks which are useful with a working tree. Currently this changes if a repository is bare: updates of HEAD are allowed git gc packs the refs the reflog is disabled by default (2) is_inside_work_tree True if the cwd is inside the associated working tree (if there is one), false otherwise. (3) is_inside_git_dir True if the cwd is inside the git directory, false otherwise. Before this patch is_inside_git_dir was always true for bare repositories. When setup_gdg finds a repository git_config(git_default_config) is always called. This ensure that is_bare_repository makes use of core.bare and does not guess even though core.bare is specified. inside_work_tree and inside_git_dir are set if setup_gdg finds a repository. The is_inside_work_tree and is_inside_git_dir functions will die if they are called before a successful call to setup_gdg.

This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including idiotic conversions like if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3)) => if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo"))) This was done by using this script in px.perl #!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) { s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|; } if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) { s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|; } and running: $ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-01-08Detached HEAD (experimental)Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+3
This allows "git checkout v1.4.3" to dissociate the HEAD of repository from any branch. After this point, "git branch" starts reporting that you are not on any branch. You can go back to an existing branch by saying "git checkout master", for example. This is still experimental. While I think it makes sense to allow commits on top of detached HEAD, it is rather dangerous unless you are careful in the current form. Next "git checkout master" will obviously lose what you have done, so we might want to require "git checkout -f" out of a detached HEAD if we find that the HEAD commit is not an ancestor of any other branches. There is no such safety valve implemented right now. On the other hand, the reason the user did not start the ad-hoc work on a new branch with "git checkout -b" was probably because the work was of a throw-away nature, so the convenience of not having that safety valve might be even better. The user, after accumulating some commits on top of a detached HEAD, can always create a new branch with "git checkout -b" not to lose useful work done while the HEAD was detached. We'll see.

2006-12-30Automatically detect a bare git repository.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-34/+39
Many users find it unfriendly that they can create a bare git repository easily with `git clone --bare` but are then unable to run simple commands like `git log` once they cd into that newly created bare repository. This occurs because we do not check to see if the current working directory is a git repository. Instead of failing out with "fatal: Not a git repository" we should try to automatically detect if the current working directory is a bare repository and use that for GIT_DIR, and fail out only if that doesn't appear to be true. We test the current working directory only after we have tried searching up the directory tree. This is to retain backwards compatibility with our previous behavior on the off chance that a user has a 'refs' and 'objects' subdirectories and a 'HEAD' file that looks like a symref, all stored within a repository's associated working directory. This change also consolidates the validation logic between the case of GIT_DIR being supplied and GIT_DIR not being supplied, cleaning up the code. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Since all files are written as lock files first, and then moved to their destination, they do not have to be group writable. Indeed, if this leads to problems you found a bug.

2005-08-27[PATCH] Make .git directory validation code test HEADLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-11/+20
Inspired by a report by Kalle Valo, this changes git-sh-setup-script and the "setup_git_directory()" function to test that $GIT_DIR/HEAD is a symlink, since a number of core git features depend on that these days. We used to allow a regular file there, but git-fsck-cache has been complaining about that for a while, and anything that uses branches depends on the HEAD file being a symlink, so let's just encode that as a fundamental requirement. Before, a non-symlink HEAD file would appear to work, but have subtle bugs like not having the HEAD show up as a valid reference (because it wasn't under "refs"). Now, we will complain loudly, and the user can fix it up trivially instead of getting strange behaviour. This also removes the tests for "$GIT_DIR" and "$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY" being directories, since the other tests will implicitly test for that anyway (ie the tests for HEAD, refs and 00 would fail).
