2021-10-08cat-file: disable refs/replace with --batch-all-objectsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+66
When we're enumerating all objects in the object database, it doesn't make sense to respect refs/replace. The point of this option is to enumerate all of the objects in the database at a low level. By definition we'd already show the replacement object's contents (under its real oid), and showing those contents under another oid is almost certainly working against what the user is trying to do. Note that you could make the same argument for something like: git show-index <foo.idx | awk '{print $2}' | git cat-file --batch but there we can't know in cat-file exactly what the user intended, because we don't know the source of the input. They could be trying to do low-level debugging, or they could be doing something more high-level (e.g., imagine a porcelain built around cat-file for its object accesses). So in those cases, we'll have to rely on the user specifying "git --no-replace-objects" to tell us what to do. One _could_ make an argument that "cat-file --batch" is sufficiently low-level plumbing that it should not respect replace-objects at all (and the caller should do any replacement if they want it). But we have been doing so for some time. The history is a little tangled: - looking back as far as v1.6.6, we would not respect replace refs for --batch-check, but would for --batch (because the former used sha1_object_info(), and the replace mechanism only affected actual object reads) - this discrepancy was made even weirder by 98e2092b50 (cat-file: teach --batch to stream blob objects, 2013-07-10), where we always output the header using the --batch-check code, and then printed the object separately. This could lead to "cat-file --batch" dying (when it notices the size or type changed for a non-blob object) or even producing bogus output (in streaming mode, we didn't notice that we wrote the wrong number of bytes). - that persisted until 1f7117ef7a (sha1_file: perform object replacement in sha1_object_info_extended(), 2013-12-11), which then respected replace refs for both forms. So it has worked reliably this way for over 7 years, and we should make sure it continues to do so. That could also be an argument that --batch-all-objects should not change behavior (which this patch is doing), but I really consider the current behavior to be an unintended bug. It's a side effect of how the code is implemented (feeding the oids back into oid_object_info() rather than looking at what we found while reading the loose and packed object storage). The implementation is straight-forward: we just disable the global read_replace_refs flag when we're in --batch-all-objects mode. It would perhaps be a little cleaner to change the flag we pass to oid_object_info_extended(), but that's not enough. We also read objects via read_object_file() and stream_blob_to_fd(). The former could switch to its _extended() form, but the streaming code has no mechanism for disabling replace refs. Setting the global flag works, and as a bonus, it's impossible to have any "oops, we're sometimes replacing the object and sometimes not" bugs in the output (like the ones caused by 98e2092b50 above). The tests here cover the regular-input and --batch-all-objects cases, for both --batch-check and --batch. There is a test in t6050 that covers the regular-input case with --batch already, but this new one goes much further in actually verifying the output (plus covering --batch-check explicitly). This is perhaps a little overkill and the tests would be simpler just covering --batch-check, but I wanted to make sure we're checking that --batch output is consistent between the header and the content. The global-flag technique used here makes that easy to get right, but this is future-proofing us against regressions.

2021-10-01fsck: report invalid object type-path combinationsLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
Improve the error that's emitted in cases where we find a loose object we parse, but which isn't at the location we expect it to be. Before this change we'd prefix the error with a not-a-OID derived from the path at which the object was found, due to an emergent behavior in how we'd end up with an "OID" in these codepaths. Now we'll instead say what object we hashed, and what path it was found at. Before this patch series e.g.: $ git hash-object --stdin -w -t blob </dev/null e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 $ mv objects/e6/ objects/e7 Would emit ("[...]" used to abbreviate the OIDs): git fsck error: hash mismatch for ./objects/e7/9d[...] (expected e79d[...]) error: e79d[...]: object corrupt or missing: ./objects/e7/9d[...] Now we'll instead emit: error: e69d[...]: hash-path mismatch, found at: ./objects/e7/9d[...] Furthermore, we'll do the right thing when the object type and its location are bad. I.e. this case: $ git hash-object --stdin -w -t garbage --literally </dev/null 8315a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f $ mv objects/83 objects/84 As noted in an earlier commits we'd simply die early in those cases, until preceding commits fixed the hard die on invalid object type: $ git fsck fatal: invalid object type Now we'll instead emit sensible error messages: $ git fsck error: 8315[...]: hash-path mismatch, found at: ./objects/84/15[...] error: 8315[...]: object is of unknown type 'garbage': ./objects/84/15[...] In both fsck.c and object-file.c we're using null_oid as a sentinel value for checking whether we got far enough to be certain that the issue was indeed this OID mismatch. We need to add the "object corrupt or missing" special-case to deal with cases where read_loose_object() will return an error before completing check_object_signature(), e.g. if we have an error in unpack_loose_rest() because we find garbage after the valid gzip content: $ git hash-object --stdin -w -t blob </dev/null e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 $ chmod 755 objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 $ echo garbage >>objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 $ git fsck error: garbage at end of loose object 'e69d[...]' error: unable to unpack contents of ./objects/e6/9d[...] error: e69d[...]: object corrupt or missing: ./objects/e6/9d[...] There is currently some weird messaging in the edge case when the two are combined, i.e. because we're not explicitly passing along an error state about this specific scenario from check_stream_oid() via read_loose_object() we'll end up printing the null OID if an object is of an unknown type *and* it can't be unpacked by zlib, e.g.: $ git hash-object --stdin -w -t garbage --literally </dev/null 8315a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f $ chmod 755 objects/83/15a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f $ echo garbage >>objects/83/15a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f $ /usr/bin/git fsck fatal: invalid object type $ ~/g/git/git fsck error: garbage at end of loose object '8315a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f' error: unable to unpack contents of ./objects/83/15a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f error: 8315a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f: object corrupt or missing: ./objects/83/15a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f error: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000: object is of unknown type 'garbage': ./objects/83/15a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f [...] I think it's OK to leave that for future improvements, which would involve enum-ifying more error state as we've done with "enum unpack_loose_header_result" in preceding commits. In these increasingly more obscure cases the worst that can happen is that we'll get slightly nonsensical or inapplicable error messages. There's other such potential edge cases, all of which might produce some confusing messaging, but still be handled correctly as far as passing along errors goes. E.g. if check_object_signature() returns and oideq(real_oid, null_oid()) is true, which could happen if it returns -1 due to the read_istream() call having failed.

2021-10-01cat-file tests: test for missing/bogus object with -t, -s and -pLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+75
When we look up a missing object with cat_one_file() what error we print out currently depends on whether we'll error out early in get_oid_with_context(), or if we'll get an error later from oid_object_info_extended(). The --allow-unknown-type flag then changes whether we pass the "OBJECT_INFO_ALLOW_UNKNOWN_TYPE" flag to get_oid_with_context() or not. The "-p" flag is yet another special-case in printing the same output on the deadbeef OID as we'd emit on the deadbeef_short OID for the "-s" and "-t" options, it also doesn't support the "--allow-unknown-type" flag at all. Let's test the combination of the two sets of [-t, -s, -p] and [--{no-}allow-unknown-type] (the --no-allow-unknown-type is implicit in not supplying it), as well as a [missing,bogus] object pair.

2021-06-04cat-file: handle trivial --batch format with --batch-all-objectsLibravatar ZheNing Hu1-0/+22
The --batch code to print an object assumes we found out the type of the object from calling oid_object_info_extended(). This is true for the default format, but even in a custom format, we manually modify the object_info struct to ask for the type. This assumption was broken by 845de33a5b (cat-file: avoid noop calls to sha1_object_info_extended, 2016-05-18). That commit skips the call to oid_object_info_extended() entirely when --batch-all-objects is in use, and the custom format does not include any placeholders that require calling it. Or when the custom format only include placeholders like %(objectname) or %(rest), oid_object_info_extended() will not get the type of the object. This results in an error when we try to confirm that the type didn't change: $ git cat-file --batch=batman --batch-all-objects batman fatal: object 000023961a0c02d6e21dc51ea3484ff71abf1c74 changed type!? and also has other subtle effects (e.g., we'd fail to stream a blob, since we don't realize it's a blob in the first place). We can fix this by flipping the order of the setup. The check for "do we need to get the object info" must come _after_ we've decided whether we need to look up the type.

2021-01-05mktag: use fsck instead of custom verify_tag()Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
Change the validation logic in "mktag" to use fsck's fsck_tag() instead of its own custom parser. Curiously the logic for both dates back to the same commit[1]. Let's unify them so we're not maintaining two sets functions to verify that a tag is OK. The behavior of fsck_tag() and the old "mktag" code being removed here is different in few aspects. I think it makes sense to remove some of those checks, namely: A. fsck only cares that the timezone matches [-+][0-9]{4}. The mktag code disallowed values larger than 1400. Yes there's currently no timezone with a greater offset[2], but since we allow any number of non-offical timezones (e.g. +1234) passing this through seems fine. Git also won't break in the future if e.g. French Polynesia decides it needs to outdo the Line Islands when it comes to timezone extravagance. B. fsck allows missing author names such as "tagger <email>", mktag wouldn't, but would allow e.g. "tagger [2 spaces] <email>" (but not "tagger [1 space] <email>"). Now we allow all of these. C. Like B, but "mktag" disallowed spaces in the <email> part, fsck allows it. In some ways fsck_tag() is stricter than "mktag" was, namely: D. fsck disallows zero-padded dates, but mktag didn't care. So e.g. the timestamp "0000000000 +0000" produces an error now. A test in "t1006-cat-file.sh" relied on this, it's been changed to use "hash-object" (without fsck) instead. There was one check I deemed worth keeping by porting it over to fsck_tag(): E. "mktag" did not allow any custom headers, and by extension (as an empty commit is allowed) also forbade an extra stray trailing newline after the headers it knew about. Add a new check in the "ignore" category to fsck and use it. This somewhat abuses the facility added in efaba7cc77f (fsck: optionally ignore specific fsck issues completely, 2015-06-22). This is somewhat of hack, but probably the least invasive change we can make here. The fsck command will shuffle these categories around, e.g. under --strict the "info" becomes a "warn" and "warn" becomes "error". Existing users of fsck's (and others, e.g. index-pack) --strict option rely on this. So we need to put something into a category that'll be ignored by all existing users of the API. Pretending that fsck.extraHeaderEntry=error ("ignore" by default) was set serves to do this for us. 1. ec4465adb38 (Add "tag" objects that can be used to sign other objects., 2005-04-25) 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_time_offsets Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-08-13cat-file: support "unordered" output for --batch-all-objectsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+11
If you're going to access the contents of every object in a packfile, it's generally much more efficient to do so in pack order, rather than in hash order. That increases the locality of access within the packfile, which in turn is friendlier to the delta base cache, since the packfile puts related deltas next to each other. By contrast, hash order is effectively random, since the sha1 has no discernible relationship to the content. This patch introduces an "--unordered" option to cat-file which iterates over packs in pack-order under the hood. You can see the results when dumping all of the file content: $ time ./git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch | wc -c 6883195596 real 0m44.491s user 0m42.902s sys 0m5.230s $ time ./git cat-file --unordered \ --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch | wc -c 6883195596 real 0m6.075s user 0m4.774s sys 0m3.548s Same output, different order, way faster. The same speed-up applies even if you end up accessing the object content in a different process, like: git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch-check | grep blob | git cat-file --batch='%(objectname) %(rest)' | wc -c Adding "--unordered" to the first command drops the runtime in git.git from 24s to 3.5s. Side note: there are actually further speedups available for doing it all in-process now. Since we are outputting the object content during the actual pack iteration, we know where to find the object and could skip the extra lookup done by oid_object_info(). This patch stops short of that optimization since the underlying API isn't ready for us to make those sorts of direct requests. So if --unordered is so much better, why not make it the default? Two reasons: 1. We've promised in the documentation that --batch-all-objects outputs in hash order. Since cat-file is plumbing, people may be relying on that default, and we can't change it. 2. It's actually _slower_ for some cases. We have to compute the pack revindex to walk in pack order. And our de-duplication step uses an oidset, rather than a sort-and-dedup, which can end up being more expensive. If we're just accessing the type and size of each object, for example, like: git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch-check my best-of-five warm cache timings go from 900ms to 1100ms using --unordered. Though it's possible in a cold-cache or under memory pressure that we could do better, since we'd have better locality within the packfile. And one final question: why is it "--unordered" and not "--pack-order"? The answer is again two-fold: 1. "pack order" isn't a well-defined thing across the whole set of objects. We're hitting loose objects, as well as objects in multiple packs, and the only ordering we're promising is _within_ a single pack. The rest is apparently random. 2. The point here is optimization. So we don't want to promise any particular ordering, but only to say that we will choose an ordering which is likely to be efficient for accessing the object content. That leaves the door open for further changes in the future without having to add another compatibility option.

2018-08-13t1006: test cat-file --batch-all-objects with duplicatesLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+4
The test for --batch-all-objects in t1006 covers a variety of object storage situations, but one thing it doesn't cover is that we avoid mentioning duplicate objects. We won't have any because running "git repack -ad" will have packed them all and deleted the loose ones. This does work (because we sort and de-dup the output list), but it's good to include it in our test. And doubly so for when we add an unordered mode which has to de-dup in a different way. Note that we cannot just re-create one of the objects, as Git will omit the write of an object that is already present. However, we can create a new pack with one of the objects, which forces the duplication. One alternative would be to just use "git repack -a" instead of "-ad". But then _every_ object would be duplicated as loose and packed, and we might miss a bug that omits packed objects (because we'd show their loose counterparts).

2015-06-22cat-file: add --batch-all-objects optionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+27
It can sometimes be useful to examine all objects in the repository. Normally this is done with "git rev-list --all --objects", but: 1. That shows only reachable objects. You may want to look at all available objects. 2. It's slow. We actually open each object to walk the graph. If your operation is OK with seeing unreachable objects, it's an order of magnitude faster to just enumerate the loose directories and pack indices. You can do this yourself using "ls" and "git show-index", but it's non-obvious. This patch adds an option to "cat-file --batch-check" to operate on all available objects (rather than reading names from stdin). This is based on a proposal by Charles Bailey to provide a separate "git list-all-objects" command. That is more orthogonal, as it splits enumerating the objects from getting information about them. However, in practice you will either: a. Feed the list of objects directly into cat-file anyway, so you can find out information about them. Keeping it in a single process is more efficient. b. Ask the listing process to start telling you more information about the objects, in which case you will reinvent cat-file's batch-check formatter. Adding a cat-file option is simple and efficient.

It can be useful for debugging or analysis to see which objects are stored as delta bases on top of others. This information is available by running `git verify-pack`, but that is extremely expensive (and is harder than necessary to parse). Instead, let's make it available as a cat-file query format, which makes it fast and simple to get the bases for a subset of the objects.

2013-12-12cat-file: handle --batch format with missing type/sizeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+22
Commit 98e2092 taught cat-file to stream blobs with --batch, which requires that we look up the object type before loading it into memory. As a result, we now print the object header from information in sha1_object_info, and the actual contents from the read_sha1_file. We double-check that the information we printed in the header matches the content we are about to show. Later, commit 93d2a60 allowed custom header lines for --batch, and commit 5b08640 made type lookups optional. As a result, specifying a header line without the type or size means that we will not look up those items at all. This causes our double-checking to erroneously die with an error; we think the type or size has changed, when in fact it was simply left at "0". For the size, we can fix this by only doing the consistency double-check when we have retrieved the size via sha1_object_info. In the case that we have not retrieved the value, that means we also did not print it, so there is nothing for us to check that we are consistent with. We could do the same for the type. However, besides our consistency check, we also care about the type in deciding whether to stream or not. So instead of handling the case where we do not know the type, this patch instead makes sure that we always trigger a type lookup when we are printing, so that even a format without the type will stream as we would in the normal case.

2013-08-05cat-file: only split on whitespace when %(rest) is usedLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+15
Commit c334b87b (cat-file: split --batch input lines on whitespace, 2013-07-11) taught `cat-file --batch-check` to split input lines on the first whitespace, and stash everything after the first token into the %(rest) output format element. It claimed: Object names cannot contain spaces, so any input with spaces would have resulted in a "missing" line. But that is not correct. Refs, object sha1s, and various peeling suffixes cannot contain spaces, but some object names can. In particular: 1. Tree paths like "[<tree>]:path with whitespace" 2. Reflog specifications like "@{2 days ago}" 3. Commit searches like "rev^{/grep me}" or ":/grep me" To remain backwards compatible, we cannot split on whitespace by default, hence we will ship 1.8.4 with the commit reverted. Resurrect its attempt but in a weaker form; only do the splitting when "%(rest)" is used in the output format. Since that element did not exist at all before c334b87, old scripts cannot be affected. The existence of object names with spaces does mean that you cannot reliably do: echo ":path with space and other data" | git cat-file --batch-check="%(objectname) %(rest)" as it would split the path and feed only ":path" to get_sha1. But that command is nonsensical. If you wanted to see "and other data" in "%(rest)", git cannot possibly know where the filename ends and the "rest" begins. It might be more robust to have something like "-z" to separate the input elements. But this patch is still a reasonable step before having that. It makes the easy cases easy; people who do not care about %(rest) do not have to consider it, and the %(rest) code handles the spaces and newlines of "rev-list --objects" correctly. Hard cases remain hard but possible (if you might get whitespace in your input, you do not get to use %(rest) and must split and join the output yourself using more flexible tools). And most importantly, it does not preclude us from having different splitting rules later if a "-z" (or similar) option is added. So we can make the hard cases easier later, if we choose to.

2013-08-02Revert "cat-file: split --batch input lines on whitespace"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+0
This reverts commit c334b87b30c1464a1ab563fe1fb8de5eaf0e5bac; the update assumed that people only used the command to read from "rev-list --objects" output, whose lines begin with a 40-hex object name followed by a whitespace, but it turns out that scripts feed random extended SHA-1 expressions (e.g. "HEAD:$pathname") in which a whitespace has to be kept.
2013-07-12cat-file: split --batch input lines on whitespaceLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+7
If we get an input line to --batch or --batch-check that looks like "HEAD foo bar", we will currently feed the whole thing to get_sha1(). This means that to use --batch-check with `rev-list --objects`, one must pre-process the input, like: git rev-list --objects HEAD | cut -d' ' -f1 | git cat-file --batch-check Besides being more typing and slightly less efficient to invoke `cut`, the result loses information: we no longer know which path each object was found at. This patch teaches cat-file to split input lines at the first whitespace. Everything to the left of the whitespace is considered an object name, and everything to the right is made available as the %(reset) atom. So you can now do: git rev-list --objects HEAD | git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize) %(rest)' to collect object sizes at particular paths. Even if %(rest) is not used, we always do the whitespace split (which means you can simply eliminate the `cut` command from the first example above). This whitespace split is backwards compatible for any reasonable input. Object names cannot contain spaces, so any input with spaces would have resulted in a "missing" line. The only input hurt is if somebody really expected input of the form "HEAD is a fine-looking ref!" to fail; it will now parse HEAD, and make "is a fine-looking ref!" available as %(rest).

2013-07-12cat-file: add --batch-check=<format>Libravatar Jeff King1-0/+6
The `cat-file --batch-check` command can be used to quickly get information about a large number of objects. However, it provides a fixed set of information. This patch adds an optional <format> option to --batch-check to allow a caller to specify which items they are interested in, and in which order to output them. This is not very exciting for now, since we provide the same limited set that you could already get. However, it opens the door to adding new format items in the future without breaking backwards compatibility (or forcing callers to pay the cost to calculate uninteresting items). Since the --batch option shares code with --batch-check, it receives the same feature, though it is less likely to be of interest there. The format atom names are chosen to match their counterparts in for-each-ref. Though we do not (yet) share any code with for-each-ref's formatter, this keeps the interface as consistent as possible, and may help later on if the implementations are unified.

2013-04-17cat-file: print tags raw for "cat-file -p"Libravatar Jeff King1-4/+1
When "cat-file -p" prints commits, it shows them in their raw format, since git's format is already human-readable. For tags, however, we print the whole thing raw except for one thing: we convert the timestamp on the tagger line into a human-readable date. This dates all the way back to a0f15fa (Pretty-print tagger dates, 2006-03-01). At that time there was no other way to pretty-print a tag. These days, however, neither of those matters much. The normal way to pretty-print a tag is with "git show", which is much more flexible than "cat-file -p". Commit a0f15fa also built "verify-tag --verbose" (and subsequently "tag -v") around the "cat-file -p" output. However, that behavior was lost in commit 62e09ce (Make git tag a builtin, 2007-07-20), and we went back to printing the raw tag contents. Nobody seems to have noticed the bug since then (and it is arguably a saner behavior anyway, as it shows the actual bytes for which we verified the signature). Let's drop the tagger-date formatting for "cat-file -p". It makes us more consistent with cat-file's commit pretty-printer, and as a bonus, we can drop the hand-rolled tag parsing code in cat-file (which happened to behave inconsistently with the tag pretty-printing code elsewhere). This is a change of output format, so it's possible that some callers could considered this a regression. However, the original behavior was arguably a bug (due to the inconsistency with commits), likely nobody was relying on it (even we do not use it ourselves these days), and anyone relying on the "-p" pretty-printer should be able to expect a change in the output format (i.e., while "cat-file" is plumbing, the output format of "-p" was never guaranteed to be stable).
