2016-06-06reflog: continue walking the reflog past root commitsLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-1/+1
If a repository contains more than one root commit, then its HEAD reflog may contain multiple "creation events", i.e. entries whose "from" value is the null sha1. Listing such a reflog currently stops prematurely at the first such entry, even when the reflog still contains older entries. This can scare users into thinking that their reflog got truncated after 'git checkout --orphan'. Continue walking the reflog past such creation events based on the preceeding reflog entry's "new" value. The test 'symbolic-ref writes reflog entry' in t1401-symbolic-ref implicitly relies on the current behavior of the reflog walker to stop at a root commit and thus to list only the reflog entries that are relevant for that test. Adjust the test to explicitly specify the number of relevant reflog entries to be listed.

2016-01-13lock_ref_sha1_basic: handle REF_NODEREF with invalid refsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+7
We sometimes call lock_ref_sha1_basic with REF_NODEREF to operate directly on a symbolic ref. This is used, for example, to move to a detached HEAD, or when updating the contents of HEAD via checkout or symbolic-ref. However, the first step of the function is to resolve the refname to get the "old" sha1, and we do so without telling resolve_ref_unsafe() that we are only interested in the symref. As a result, we may detect a problem there not with the symref itself, but with something it points to. The real-world example I found (and what is used in the test suite) is a HEAD pointing to a ref that cannot exist, because it would cause a directory/file conflict with other existing refs. This situation is somewhat broken, of course, as trying to _commit_ on that HEAD would fail. But it's not explicitly forbidden, and we should be able to move away from it. However, neither "git checkout" nor "git symbolic-ref" can do so. We try to take the lock on HEAD, which is pointing to a non-existent ref. We bail from resolve_ref_unsafe() with errno set to EISDIR, and the lock code thinks we are attempting to create a d/f conflict. Of course we're not. The problem is that the lock code has no idea what level we were at when we got EISDIR, so trying to diagnose or remove empty directories for HEAD is not useful. To make things even more complicated, we only get EISDIR in the loose-ref case. If the refs are packed, the resolution may "succeed", giving us the pointed-to ref in "refname", but a null oid. Later, we say "ah, the null oid means we are creating; let's make sure there is room for it", but mistakenly check against the _resolved_ refname, not the original. We can fix this by making two tweaks: 1. Call resolve_ref_unsafe() with RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE when REF_NODEREF is set. This means any errors we get will be from the orig_refname, and we can act accordingly. We already do this in the REF_DELETING case, but we should do it for update, too. 2. If we do get a "refname" return from resolve_ref_unsafe(), even with RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE it may be the name of the ref pointed-to by a symref. We already normalize this back to orig_refname before taking the lockfile, but we need to do so before the null_oid check. While we're rearranging the REF_NODEREF handling, we can also bump the initialization of lflags to the top of the function, where we are setting up other flags. This saves us from having yet another conditional block on REF_NODEREF just to set it later. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-12-29create_symref: use existing ref-lock codeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+8
The create_symref() function predates the existence of "struct lock_file", let alone the more recent "struct ref_lock". Instead, it just does its own manual dot-locking. Besides being more code, this has a few downsides: - if git is interrupted while holding the lock, we don't clean up the lockfile - we don't do the usual directory/filename conflict check. So you can sometimes create a symref "refs/heads/foo/bar", even if "refs/heads/foo" exists (namely, if the refs are packed and we do not hit the d/f conflict in the filesystem). This patch refactors create_symref() to use the "struct ref_lock" interface, which handles both of these things. There are a few bonus cleanups that come along with it: - we leaked ref_path in some error cases - the symref contents were stored in a fixed-size buffer, putting an artificial (albeit large) limitation on the length of the refname. We now write through fprintf, and handle refnames of any size. - we called adjust_shared_perm only after the file was renamed into place, creating a potential race with readers in a shared repository. The lockfile code now handles this when creating the lockfile, making it atomic. - the legacy prefer_symlink_refs path did not do any locking at all. Admittedly, it is not atomic from a reader's perspective (as it unlinks and re-creates the symlink to overwrite), but at least it cannot conflict with other writers now. - the result of this patch is hopefully more readable. It eliminates three goto labels. Two were for error checking that is now simplified, and the third was to reach shared code that has been pulled into its own function.

2015-12-27t/t1401-symbolic-ref.sh: use the $( ... ) construct for command substitutionLibravatar Elia Pinto1-1/+1
The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`. The backquoted form is the traditional method for command substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require careful escaping with the backslash character. The patch was generated by: for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh") do perl -i -pe 'BEGIN{undef $/;} s/`(.+?)`/\$(\1)/smg' "${_f}" done and then carefully proof-read.

If create_symref() fails, git-symbolic-ref will still exit with code 0, and our caller has no idea that the command did nothing. This appears to have been broken since the beginning of time (e.g., it is not a regression where create_symref() stopped calling die() or something similar).

2015-09-25resolve_ref: use strbufs for internal buffersLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+29
resolve_ref already uses a strbuf internally when generating pathnames, but it uses fixed-size buffers for storing the refname and symbolic refs. This means that you cannot actually point HEAD to a ref that is larger than 256 bytes. We can lift this limit by using strbufs here, too. Like sb_path, we pass the the buffers into our helper function, so that we can easily clean up all output paths. We can also drop the "unsafe" name from our helper function, as it no longer uses a single static buffer (but of course resolve_ref_unsafe is still unsafe, because the static buffers moved there). As a bonus, we also get to drop some strcpy calls between the two fixed buffers (that cannot currently overflow because the two buffers are sized identically).

2012-10-21git symbolic-ref --delete $symrefLibravatar Johan Herland1-0/+30
Teach symbolic-ref to delete symrefs by adding the -d/--delete option to git-symbolic-ref. Both proper and dangling symrefs are deleted by this option, but other refs - or anything else that is not a symref - is not. The symref deletion is performed by first verifying that we are given a proper symref, and then invoking delete_ref() on it with the REF_NODEREF flag.

2009-02-13symbolic-ref: allow refs/<whatever> in HEADLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+0
Commit afe5d3d5 introduced a safety valve to symbolic-ref to disallow installing an invalid HEAD. It was accompanied by b229d18a, which changed validate_headref to require that HEAD contain a pointer to refs/heads/ instead of just refs/. Therefore, the safety valve also checked for refs/heads/. As it turns out, topgit is using refs/top-bases/ in HEAD, leading us to re-loosen (at least temporarily) the validate_headref check made in b229d18a. This patch does the corresponding loosening for the symbolic-ref safety valve, so that the two are in agreement once more.

2009-01-29symbolic ref: refuse non-ref targets in HEADLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+41
When calling "git symbolic-ref" it is easy to forget that the target must be a fully qualified ref. E.g., you might accidentally do: $ git symbolic-ref HEAD master Unfortunately, this is very difficult to recover from, because the bogus contents of HEAD make git believe we are no longer in a git repository (as is_git_dir explicitly checks for "^refs/heads/" in the HEAD target). So immediately trying to fix the situation doesn't work: $ git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/master fatal: Not a git repository and one is left editing the .git/HEAD file manually. Furthermore, one might be tempted to use symbolic-ref to set up a detached HEAD: $ git symbolic-ref HEAD `git rev-parse HEAD` which sets up an even more bogus HEAD: $ cat .git/HEAD ref: 1a9ace4f2ad4176148e61b5a85cd63d5604aac6d This patch introduces a small safety valve to prevent the specific case of anything not starting with refs/heads/ to go into HEAD. The scope of the safety valve is intentionally very limited, to make sure that we are not preventing any behavior that would otherwise be valid (like pointing a different symref than HEAD outside of refs/heads/).
