2013-07-12cat-file: disable object/refname ambiguity check for batch modeLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+8
A common use of "cat-file --batch-check" is to feed a list of objects from "rev-list --objects" or a similar command. In this instance, all of our input objects are 40-byte sha1 ids. However, cat-file has always allowed arbitrary revision specifiers, and feeds the result to get_sha1(). Fortunately, get_sha1() recognizes a 40-byte sha1 before doing any hard work trying to look up refs, meaning this scenario should end up spending very little time converting the input into an object sha1. However, since 798c35f (get_sha1: warn about full or short object names that look like refs, 2013-05-29), when we encounter this case, we spend the extra effort to do a refname lookup anyway, just to print a warning. This is further exacerbated by ca91993 (get_packed_ref_cache: reload packed-refs file when it changes, 2013-06-20), which makes individual ref lookup more expensive by requiring a stat() of the packed-refs file for each missing ref. With no patches, this is the time it takes to run: $ git rev-list --objects --all >objects $ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname)' <objects on the linux.git repository: real 1m13.494s user 0m25.924s sys 0m47.532s If we revert ca91993, the packed-refs up-to-date check, it gets a little better: real 0m54.697s user 0m21.692s sys 0m32.916s but we are still spending quite a bit of time on ref lookup (and we would not want to revert that patch, anyway, which has correctness issues). If we revert 798c35f, disabling the warning entirely, we get a much more reasonable time: real 0m7.452s user 0m6.836s sys 0m0.608s This patch does the moral equivalent of this final case (and gets similar speedups). We introduce a global flag that callers of get_sha1() can use to avoid paying the price for the warning. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-07-09Convert "struct cache_entry *" to "const ..." wherever possibleLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+2
I attempted to make index_state->cache[] a "const struct cache_entry **" to find out how existing entries in index are modified and where. The question I have is what do we do if we really need to keep track of on-disk changes in the index. The result is - diff-lib.c: setting CE_UPTODATE - name-hash.c: setting CE_HASHED - preload-index.c, read-cache.c, unpack-trees.c and builtin/update-index: obvious - entry.c: write_entry() may refresh the checked out entry via fill_stat_cache_info(). This causes "non-const struct cache_entry *" in builtin/apply.c, builtin/checkout-index.c and builtin/checkout.c - builtin/ls-files.c: --with-tree changes stagemask and may set CE_UPDATE Of these, write_entry() and its call sites are probably most interesting because it modifies on-disk info. But this is stat info and can be retrieved via refresh, at least for porcelain commands. Other just uses ce_flags for local purposes. So, keeping track of "dirty" entries is just a matter of setting a flag in index modification functions exposed by read-cache.c. Except unpack-trees, the rest of the code base does not do anything funny behind read-cache's back. The actual patch is less valueable than the summary above. But if anyone wants to re-identify the above sites. Applying this patch, then this: diff --git a/cache.h b/cache.h index 430d021..1692891 100644 --- a/cache.h +++ b/cache.h @@ -267,7 +267,7 @@ static inline unsigned int canon_mode(unsigned int mode) #define cache_entry_size(len) (offsetof(struct cache_entry,name) + (len) + 1) struct index_state { - struct cache_entry **cache; + const struct cache_entry **cache; unsigned int version; unsigned int cache_nr, cache_alloc, cache_changed; struct string_list *resolve_undo; will help quickly identify them without bogus warnings.

2013-07-01get_short_sha1(): correctly disambiguate type-limited abbreviationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
One test in t1512 that expects a failure incorrectly passed. The test prepares a commit whose object name begins with ten "0"s, and also prepares a tag that points at the commit. The object name of the tag also begins with ten "0"s. There is no other commit-ish object in the repository whose name begins with such a prefix. Ideally, in such a repository: $ git rev-parse --verify 0000000000^{commit} should yield that commit. If 0000000000 is taken as the commit 0000000000e4f, peeling it to a commmit yields that commit itself, and if 0000000000 is taken as the tag 0000000000f8f, peeling it to a commit also yields the same commit, so in that twisted sense, the extended SHA-1 expression 0000000000^{commit} is unambigous. The test that expects a failure is to check the above command. The reason the test expects a failure is that we did not implement such a "unification" of two candidate objects. What we did (or at least, meant to) implement was to recognise that a commit-ish is required to expand 0000000000, and notice that there are two succh commit-ish, and diagnose the request as ambiguous. However, there was a bug in the logic to check the candidate objects. When the code saw 0000000000f8f (a tag) that shared the shortened prefix (ten "0"s), it tried to make sure that the tag is a commit-ish by looking at the tag object. Because it incorrectly used lookup_object() when the tag has not been parsed, however, we incorrectly declared that the tag is _not_ a commit-ish, leaving the sole commit in the repository, 0000000000e4f, that has the required prefix as "unique match", causing the test to pass when it shouldn't. This fixes the logic to inspect the type of the object a tag refers to, to make the test that is expected to fail correctly fail. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Currently, when we try to resolve @{<N>} or @{<date>} when the reflog doesn't go back far enough, we get errors like: # on branch master $ git show @{10000} fatal: Log for '' only has 7 entries. $ git show @{10000.days.ago} warning: Log for '' only goes back to Tue, 21 May 2013 14:14:45 +0530. ... # detached HEAD case $ git show @{10000} fatal: Log for '' only has 2005 entries. $ git show master@{10000} fatal: Log for 'master' only has 7 entries. The empty string '' is confusing and does not convey information about whose logs we are inspecting.

When we get 40 hex digits, we immediately assume it's an SHA-1. This is the right thing to do because we have no way else to specify an object. If there is a ref with the same object name, it will be ignored. Warn the user about this case because the ref with full object name is likely a mistake, for example git checkout -b $empty_var $(git rev-parse something) advice.object_name_warning is not documented because frankly people should not be aware about it until they encounter this situation.

2013-05-22sha1_name: fix error message for @{u}Libravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-6/+7
Currently, when no (valid) upstream is configured for a branch, you get an error like: $ git show @{u} error: No upstream configured for branch 'upstream-error' error: No upstream configured for branch 'upstream-error' fatal: ambiguous argument '@{u}': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this: 'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]' The "error: " line actually appears twice, and the rest of the error message is useless. In sha1_name.c:interpret_branch_name(), there is really no point in processing further if @{u} couldn't be resolved, and we might as well die() instead of returning an error(). After making this change, you get: $ git show @{u} fatal: No upstream configured for branch 'upstream-error' Also tweak a few tests in t1507 to expect this output. This only turns error() that may be called after we know we are dealing with an @{upstream} marker into die(), without touching silent error returns "return -1" from the function. Any caller that wants to handle an error condition itself will not be hurt by this change, unless they want to see the message from error() and then exit silently without giving its own message, which needs to be fixed anyway.

2013-05-16strbuf_branchname(): do not double-expand @{-1}~22Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+6
If you were on 'frotz' branch before you checked out your current branch, "git merge @{-1}~22" means the same as "git merge frotz~22". The strbuf_branchname() function, when interpret_branch_name() gives up resolving "@{-1}~22" fully, returns "frotz" and tells the caller that it only resolved "@{-1}" part of the input, mistakes this as a total failure, and appends the whole thing to the result, yielding "frotz@{-1}~22", which does not make any sense. Inspect the return value from interpret_branch_name() a bit more carefully. When it errored out without consuming anything, we will get -1 and we should return the whole thing. Otherwise, we should append the remainder (i.e. "~22" in the earlier example) to the partially resolved name (i.e. "frotz"). The test suite adds enough number of checkout to make @{-12} in the last test in t0100 that tried to check "we haven't flipped branches that many times" error case succeed; raise the number to a hundred.

2013-05-08Add new @ shortcut for HEADLibravatar Felipe Contreras1-0/+17
Typing 'HEAD' is tedious, especially when we can use '@' instead. The reason for choosing '@' is that it follows naturally from the ref@op syntax (e.g. HEAD@{u}), except we have no ref, and no operation, and when we don't have those, it makes sens to assume 'HEAD'. So now we can use 'git show @~1', and all that goody goodness. Until now '@' was a valid name, but it conflicts with this idea, so let's make it invalid.

2013-05-08sha1_name: reorganize get_sha1_basic()Libravatar Felipe Contreras1-11/+19
Through the years the functionality to handle @{-N} and @{u} has moved around the code, and as a result, code that once made sense, doesn't any more. There is no need to call this function recursively with the branch of @{-N} substituted because dwim_{ref,log} already replaces it. However, there's one corner-case where @{-N} resolves to a detached HEAD, in which case we wouldn't get any ref back. So we parse the nth-prior manually, and deal with it depending on whether it's a SHA-1, or a ref.

There was no good way to ask "I have a random string that came from outside world. I want to turn it into a 40-hex object name while making sure such an object exists". A new peeling suffix ^{object} can be used for that purpose, together with "rev-parse --verify". * jc/sha1-name-object-peeler: peel_onion(): teach $foo^{object} peeler peel_onion: disambiguate to favor tree-ish when we know we want a tree-ish
2013-03-31peel_onion(): teach $foo^{object} peelerLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+3
A string that names an object can be suffixed with ^{type} peeler to say "I have this object name; peel it until you get this type. If you cannot do so, it is an error". v1.8.2^{commit} asks for a commit that is pointed at an annotated tag v1.8.2; v1.8.2^{tree} unwraps it further to the top-level tree object. A special suffix ^{} (i.e. no type specified) means "I do not care what it unwraps to; just peel annotated tag until you get something that is not a tag". When you have a random user-supplied string, you can turn it to a bare 40-hex object name, and cause it to error out if such an object does not exist, with: git rev-parse --verify "$userstring^{}" for most objects, but this does not yield the tag object name when $userstring refers to an annotated tag. Introduce a new suffix, ^{object}, that only makes sure the given name refers to an existing object. Then git rev-parse --verify "$userstring^{object}" becomes a way to make sure $userstring refers to an existing object. This is necessary because the plumbing "rev-parse --verify" is only about "make sure the argument is something we can feed to get_sha1() and turn it into a raw 20-byte object name SHA-1" and is not about "make sure that 20-byte object name SHA-1 refers to an object that exists in our object store". When the given $userstring is already a 40-hex, by definition "rev-parse --verify $userstring" can turn it into a raw 20-byte object name. With "$userstring^{object}", we can make sure that the 40-hex string names an object that exists in our object store before "--verify" kicks in. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-03-08reflog: add for_each_reflog_ent_reverse() APILibravatar Junio C Hamano1-30/+18
"git checkout -" is a short-hand for "git checkout @{-1}" and the "@{nth}" notation for a negative number is to find nth previous checkout in the reflog of the HEAD to determine the name of the branch the user was on. We would want to find the nth most recent reflog entry that matches "checkout: moving from X to Y" for this. Unfortunately, reflog is implemented as an append-only file, and the API to iterate over its entries, for_each_reflog_ent(), reads the file in order, giving the entries from the oldest to newer. For the purpose of finding nth most recent one, this API forces us to record the last n entries in a rotating buffer and give the result out only after we read everything. To optimize for a common case of finding the nth most recent one for a small value of n, we also have a side API for_each_recent_reflog_ent() that starts reading near the end of the file, but it still has to read the entries in the "wrong" order. The implementation of understanding @{-1} uses this interface. This all becomes unnecessary if we add an API to let us iterate over reflog entries in the reverse order, from the newest to older.

When the caller knows that the parameter is meant to name a commit, e.g. "56789a" in describe name "v1.2.3-4-g56789a", pass that as a hint so that lower level can use it to disambiguate objects when there is only one commit whose name begins with 56789a even if there are objects of other types whose names share the same prefix.

2012-07-03sha1_name.c: allow get_short_sha1() to take other flagsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+4
Instead of a separate "int quietly" argument, make it take "unsigned flags" so that we can pass other options to it. The bit assignment of this flag word is exposed in cache.h because the mechanism will be exposed to callers of the higher layer in later commits in this series.

2012-07-03get_sha1(): fix error status regressionLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
In finish_object_disambiguation(), if the candidate hasn't been checked, there are two cases: - It is the first and only object that match the prefix; or - It replaced another object that matched the prefix but that object did not satisfy ds->fn() callback. And the former case we set ds->candidate_ok to true without doing anything else, while for the latter we check the candidate, which may set ds->candidate_ok to false. At this point in the code, ds->candidate_ok can be false only if this last-round check found that the candidate does not pass the check, because the state after update_candidates() returns cannot satisfy !ds->ambiguous && ds->candidate_exists && ds->candidate_checked and !ds->canidate_ok at the same time. Hence, when we execute this "return", we know we have seen more than one object that match the prefix (and none of them satisfied ds->fn), meaning that we should say "the short name is ambiguous", not "there is no object that matches the prefix". Noticed by Jeff King. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-07-03sha1_name.c: restructure disambiguation of short namesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-60/+112
We try to find zero, one or more matches from loose objects and packed objects independently and then decide if the given short object name is unique across them. Instead, introduce a "struct disambiguate_state" that keeps track of what we have found so far, that can be one of: - We have seen one object that _could_ be what we are looking for; - We have also checked that object for additional constraints (if any), and found that the object satisfies it; - We have also checked that object for additional constraints (if any), and found that the object does not satisfy it; or - We have seen more than one objects that satisfy the constraints. and pass it to the enumeration functions for loose and packed objects. The disambiguation state can optionally take a callback function that takes a candidate object name and reports if the object satisifies additional criteria (e.g. when the caller knows that the short name must refer to a commit, this mechanism can be used to check the type of the given object). Compared to the earlier attempt, this round avoids the optional check if there is only one candidate that matches the short name in the first place. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-07-03sha1_name.c: correct misnamed "canonical" and "res"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-22/+22
These are hexadecimal and binary representation of the short object name given to the callchain as its input. Rename them with _pfx suffix to make it clear they are prefixes, and call them hex and bin respectively. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-07-03sha1_name.c: refactor find_short_packed_object()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-47/+56
Extract the logic to find object(s) that match a given prefix inside a single pack into a separate helper function, and give it a bit more comment. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-07-03sha1_name.c: rename "now" to "current"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+8
This variable points at the element we are currently looking at, and does not have anything to do with the current time which the name "now" implies. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-07-03sha1_name.c: get rid of get_sha1_with_mode()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+0
There are only two callers, and they will benefit from being able to pass disambiguation hints to underlying get_sha1_with_context() API once it happens. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-07-03sha1_name.c: get rid of get_sha1_with_mode_1()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+16
The only external caller is setup.c that tries to give a nicer error message when an object name is misspelt (e.g. "HEAD:cashe.h"). Retire it and give the caller a dedicated and more intuitive API function maybe_die_on_misspelt_object_name(). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
