2017-01-18Merge branch 'sb/submodule-rm-absorb'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-24/+15
"git rm" used to refuse to remove a submodule when it has its own git repository embedded in its working tree. It learned to move the repository away to $GIT_DIR/modules/ of the superproject instead, and allow the submodule to be deleted (as long as there will be no loss of local modifications, that is). * sb/submodule-rm-absorb: rm: absorb a submodules git dir before deletion submodule: rename and add flags to ok_to_remove_submodule submodule: modernize ok_to_remove_submodule to use argv_array submodule.h: add extern keyword to functions
2016-12-27rm: absorb a submodules git dir before deletionLibravatar Stefan Beller1-26/+17
When deleting a submodule, we need to keep the actual git directory around, such that we do not lose local changes in there and at a later checkout of the submodule we don't need to clone it again. Now that the functionality is available to absorb the git directory of a submodule, rewrite the checking in git-rm to not complain, but rather relocate the git directories inside the superproject. An alternative solution was discussed to have a function `depopulate_submodule`. That would couple the check for its git directory and possible relocation before the the removal, such that it is less likely to miss the check in the future. But the indirection with such a function added seemed also complex. The reason for that was that this possible move of the git directory was also implemented in `ok_to_remove_submodule`, such that this function could truthfully answer whether it is ok to remove the submodule. The solution proposed here defers all these checks to the caller. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-06-22pathspec: warn on empty strings as pathspecLibravatar Emily Xie1-0/+5
An empty string as a pathspec element matches all paths. A buggy script, however, could accidentally assign an empty string to a variable that then gets passed to a Git command invocation, e.g.: path=... compute a path to be removed in $path ... git rm -r "$paht" which would unintentionally remove all paths in the current directory. The fix for this issue requires a two-step approach. As there may be existing scripts that knowingly use empty strings in this manner, the first step simply gives a warning that (1) tells that an empty string will become an invalid pathspec element and (2) asks the user to use "." if they mean to match all. For step two, a follow-up patch several release cycles later will remove the warning and throw an error instead. This patch is the first step.

MSYS2 actually allows to create files or directories whose names contain tabs, newlines or colors, even if plain Win32 API cannot access them. As we are using an MSYS2 bash to run the tests, such files or directories are created successfully, but Git itself has no chance to work with them because it is a regular Windows program, hence limited by the Win32 API.

2015-12-28t/t3600-rm.sh: use the $( ... ) construct for command substitutionLibravatar Elia Pinto1-2/+2
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.

2015-03-20t3600: fix &&-chain breakage for setup commandsLibravatar Jeff King1-18/+18
As with the earlier patch to fix "trivial" &&-chain breakage, these missing "&&" operators are not a serious problem (e.g., we do not expect "echo" to fail). Ironically, however, inserting them shows that some of the commands _do_ fail. Specifically, some of the tests start by making sure we are at a commit with the string "content" in the file "foo". However, running "git commit" may fail because the previous test left us in that state already, and there is nothing to commit. We could remove these commands entirely, but they serve to document the test's assumptions, as well as make it robust when an earlier test has failed. We could use test_might_fail to handle all cases, but that would miss an unrelated failure to make the commit. Instead, we can just pass the --allow-empty flag to git-commit, which means that it will not complain if our setup is a noop.

2013-10-16t3600: fix broken "choking git rm" testLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-7/+4
The test 'choking "git rm" should not let it die with cruft' is supposed to check 'git rm's behavior when interrupted by provoking a SIGPIPE while 'git rm' is busily deleting files from a specially crafted index. This test is silently broken for the following reasons: - The test crafts a special index by feeding a large number of index entries with null shas to 'git update-index --index-info'. It was OK back then when this test was introduced in commit 0693f9ddad (Make sure lockfiles are unlocked when dying on SIGPIPE, 2008-12-18), but since commit 4337b5856f (do not write null sha1s to on-disk index, 2012-07-28) null shas are not allowed in the on-disk index causing 'git update-index' to error out. - The barfing 'git update-index --index-info' should fail the test, but it remains unnoticed because of the severely broken && chain: the test's result depends solely on whether there is a stale lock file left behind, but after 'git update-index' errors out 'git rm' won't be executed at all. To fix this test feed only non-null shas to 'git update-index' and restore the && chain (partly by adding a missing && and by using the test_when_finished helper instead of manual cleanup).

2013-08-06rm: delete .gitmodules entry of submodules removed from the work treeLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-6/+92
Currently using "git rm" on a submodule removes the submodule's work tree from that of the superproject and the gitlink from the index. But the submodule's section in .gitmodules is left untouched, which is a leftover of the now removed submodule and might irritate users (as opposed to the setting in .git/config, this must stay as a reminder that the user showed interest in this submodule so it will be repopulated later when an older commit is checked out). Let "git rm" help the user by not only removing the submodule from the work tree but by also removing the "submodule.<submodule name>" section from the .gitmodules file and stage both. This doesn't happen when the "--cached" option is used, as it would modify the work tree. This also silently does nothing when no .gitmodules file is found and only issues a warning when it doesn't have a section for this submodule. This is because the user might just use plain gitlinks without the .gitmodules file or has already removed the section by hand before issuing the "git rm" command (in which case the warning reminds him that rm would have done that for him). Only when .gitmodules is found and contains merge conflicts the rm command will fail and tell the user to resolve the conflict before trying again. Also extend the man page to inform the user about this new feature. While at it promote the submodule sub-section to a chapter as it made not much sense under "REMOVING FILES THAT HAVE DISAPPEARED FROM THE FILESYSTEM". In t7610 three uses of "git rm submod" had to be replaced with "git rm --cached submod" because that test expects .gitmodules and the work tree to stay untouched. Also in t7400 the tests for the remaining settings in the .gitmodules file had to be changed to assert that these settings are missing.

2013-04-04t3600: document failure of rm across symbolic linksLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+28
If we have a symlink "d" that points to a directory, we should not be able to remove "d/f". In the normal case, where "d/f" does not exist in the index, we already disallow this, as we only remove things that git knows about in the index. So for something like: ln -s /outside/repo foo git add foo git rm foo/bar we will properly produce an error (as there is no index entry for foo/bar). However, if there is an index entry for the path (e.g., because the movement is due to working tree changes that have not yet been reflected in the index), we will happily delete it, even though the path we delete from the filesystem is not the same as the path in the index. This patch documents that failure with a test. While this is a bug, it should not be possible to cause serious data loss with it. For any path that does not have an index entry, we will complain and bail. For a path which does have an index entry, we will do the usual up-to-date content check. So even if the deleted path in the filesystem is not the same as the one we are removing from the index, we do know that they at least have the same content, and that the content is included in HEAD. That means the worst case is not the accidental loss of content, but rather confusion by the user when a copy of a file another part of the tree is removed. Which makes this bug a minor and hard-to-trigger annoyance rather than a data-loss bug (and hence the fix can be saved for a rainy day when somebody feels like working on it).

Git already behaves correctly, but let's make sure that remains the case by protecting the behavior with a test.

2013-04-04rm: do not complain about d/f conflicts during deletionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+25
If we used to have an index entry "d/f", but "d" has been replaced by a non-directory entry, the user may still want to run "git rm" to delete the stale index entry. They could use "git rm --cached" to just touch the index, but "git rm" should also work: we explicitly try to handle the case that the file has already been removed from the working tree. However, because unlinking "d/f" in this case will not yield ENOENT, but rather ENOTDIR, we do not notice that the file is already gone. Instead, we report it as an error. The simple solution is to treat ENOTDIR in this case exactly like ENOENT; all we want to know is whether the file is already gone, and if a leading path is no longer a directory, then by definition the sub-path is gone.

2012-11-23Teach rm to remove submodules when given with a trailing '/'Libravatar Jens Lehmann1-0/+17
Doing a "git rm submod/" on a submodule results in an error: fatal: pathspec 'submod/' did not match any files This is really inconvenient as e.g. using TAB completion in a shell on a submodule automatically adds the trailing '/' when it completes the path of the submodule directory. The user has then to remove the '/' herself to make a "git rm" succeed. Doing a "git rm -r somedir/" is working fine, so there is no reason why that shouldn't work for submodules too. Teach git rm to not error out when a '/' is appended to the path of a submodule. Achieve this by chopping off trailing slashes from the path names given if they represent directories. Add tests to make sure that logic only applies to directories and not to files. Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-09-29submodule: teach rm to remove submodules unless they contain a git directoryLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-0/+343
Currently using "git rm" on a submodule - populated or not - fails with this error: fatal: git rm: '<submodule path>': Is a directory This made sense in the past as there was no way to remove a submodule without possibly removing unpushed parts of the submodule's history contained in its .git directory too, so erroring out here protected the user from possible loss of data. But submodules cloned with a recent git version do not contain the .git directory anymore, they use a gitfile to point to their git directory which is safely stored inside the superproject's .git directory. The work tree of these submodules can safely be removed without losing history, so let's teach git to do so. Using rm on an unpopulated submodule now removes the empty directory from the work tree and the gitlink from the index. If the submodule's directory is missing from the work tree, it will still be removed from the index. Using rm on a populated submodule using a gitfile will apply the usual checks for work tree modification adapted to submodules (unless forced). For a submodule that means that the HEAD is the same as recorded in the index, no tracked files are modified and no untracked files that aren't ignored are present in the submodules work tree (ignored files are deemed expendable and won't stop a submodule's work tree from being removed). That logic has to be applied in all nested submodules too. Using rm on a submodule which has its .git directory inside the work trees top level directory will just error out like it did before to protect the repository, even when forced. In the future git could either provide a message informing the user to convert the submodule to use a gitfile or even attempt to do the conversion itself, but that is not part of this change.

2008-10-22rm: loosen safety valve for empty filesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+13
If a file is different between the working tree copy, the index, and the HEAD, then we do not allow it to be deleted without --force. However, this is overly tight in the face of "git add --intent-to-add": $ git add --intent-to-add file $ : oops, I don't actually want to stage that yet $ git rm --cached file error: 'empty' has staged content different from both the file and the HEAD (use -f to force removal) $ git rm -f --cached file Unfortunately, there is currently no way to distinguish between an empty file that has been added and an "intent to add" file. The ideal behavior would be to disallow the former while allowing the latter. This patch loosens the safety valve to allow the deletion only if we are deleting the cached entry and the cached content is empty. This covers the intent-to-add situation, and assumes there is little harm in not protecting users who have legitimately added an empty file. In many cases, the file will still be empty, in which case the safety valve does not trigger anyway (since the content remains untouched in the working tree). Otherwise, we do remove the fact that no content was staged, but given that the content is by definition empty, it is not terribly difficult for a user to recreate it. However, we still document the desired behavior in the form of two tests. One checks the correct removal of an intent-to-add file. The other checks that we still disallow removal of empty files, but is marked as expect_failure to indicate this compromise. If the intent-to-add feature is ever extended to differentiate between normal empty files and intent-to-add files, then the safety valve can be re-tightened.

Since "git rm" is supposed to be porcelain, we should convince it to be user friendly by refreshing the index itself. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

2008-07-19builtin-rm: fix index lock file pathLibravatar Olivier Marin1-0/+12
When hold_locked_index() is called with a relative git_dir and you are outside the work tree, the lock file become relative to the current directory. So when later setup_work_tree() change the current directory it breaks lock file path and commit_locked_index() fails. This patch move index locking code after setup_work_tree() call to make lock file relative to the working tree as it should be and add a test case. Noticed by Nick Andrew.

2008-07-13t/: Use "test_must_fail git" instead of "! git"Libravatar Stephan Beyer1-13/+13
This patch changes every occurrence of "! git" -- with the meaning that a git call has to gracefully fail -- into "test_must_fail git". This is useful to - make sure the test does not fail because of a signal, e.g. SIGSEGV, and - advertise the use of "test_must_fail" for new tests.

2008-02-01Sane use of test_expect_failureLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+9
Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision. Most tests run a series of commands that leads to the single command that needs to be tested, like this: test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' ' setup1 && setup2 && setup3 && what is to be tested ' And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the point of writing tests. Your setup$N that are supposed to succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are trying to test. The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands. This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is tested, like this: test_expect_success 'test title' ' setup1 && setup2 && setup3 && ! this command should fail ' test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it currently does not pass. So if git-foo command should create a file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can write a test like this: test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' ' rm -f bar && git foo && test -f bar ' This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

2007-07-13More permissive "git-rm --cached" behavior without -f.Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+34
In the previous behavior, "git-rm --cached" (without -f) had the same restriction as "git-rm". This forced the user to use the -f flag in situations which weren't actually dangerous, like: $ git add foo # oops, I didn't want this $ git rm --cached foo # back to initial situation Previously, the index had to match the file *and* the HEAD. With --cached, the index must now match the file *or* the HEAD. The behavior without --cached is unchanged, but provides better error messages.

2006-05-29Remove unnecessary output from t3600-rm.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-19/+23
Moved the setup commands into test_expect_success blocks so their output is hidden unless -v is used. This makes the test suite look a little cleaner when the rm test-file setup step fails (and was expected to fail for most cases). Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
