2019-07-01t6030: make test work with SHA-256Libravatar brian m. carlson1-15/+16
Compute several object ID values instead of hard-coding them, and use test_oid_to_path to cleanly produce a path for an object. Note that the bisect code which is tested here remains sensitive to the hash algorithm in use because it uses the object ID to disambiguate between two equidistant commits. Fortunately, SHA-1 and SHA-256 disambiguate identically in the cases we care about, so there is no need to modify the test to accommodate this situation. However, if a further hash algorithm change occurs, this test may require some restructuring.

2019-03-01bisect: make diff-tree output prettierLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
After completing a bisection, we print out the commit we found using an internal version of diff-tree. The result is aesthetically lacking: - it shows a raw diff, which is generally less informative for human readers than "--stat --summary" (which we already decided was nice for humans in format-patch's output). - by not abbreviating hashes, the result is likely to wrap on most people's terminals - we don't use "-r", so if the commit touched files in a directory, you only get to see the top-level directory mentioned - we don't specify "--cc" or similar, so merges print nothing (not even the commit message!) Even though bisect might be driven by scripts, there's no reason to consider this part of the output as machine-readable (if anything, the initial "$hash is the first bad commit" might be parsed, but we won't touch that here). Let's make it prettier and more informative for a human reading the output. While we're tweaking the options, let's also switch to using the diff "ui" config. If we're accepting that this is human-readable output, then we should respect the user's options for how to display it. Note that we have to touch a few tests in t6030. These check bisection in a corrupted repository (it's missing a subtree). They didn't fail with the previous code, because it didn't actually recurse far enough in the diff to find the broken tree. But now we'll see the corruption and complain. Adjusting the tests to expect the die() is the best fix. We still confirm that we're able to bisect within the broken repo. And we'll still print "$hash is the first bad commit" as usual before dying; showing that is a reasonable outcome in a corrupt repository (and was what might happen already, if the root tree was corrupt).

2019-01-02bisect--helper: `get_terms` & `bisect_terms` shell function in CLibravatar Pranit Bauva1-1/+1
Reimplement the `get_terms` and `bisect_terms` shell function in C and add `bisect-terms` subcommand to `git bisect--helper` to call it from git-bisect.sh . Using `--bisect-terms` subcommand is a temporary measure to port shell function in C so as to use the existing test suite. As more functions are ported, this subcommand will be retired but its implementation will be called by some other methods. Also use error() to report "no terms defined" and accordingly change the test in t6030. We need to use PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN here to allow for parameters that look like options (e.g --term-good) but should not be parsed by cmd_bisect__helper(). This change is safe because all other cmdmodes have strict argc checks already.

2015-08-03bisect: allow setting any user-specified in 'git bisect start'Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+77
This allows a natural user-interface when looking for any change in the code, not just regression. For example: git bisect start --term-old fast --term-new slow git bisect fast git bisect slow ... There were several proposed user-interfaces for this feature. This patch implements it as options to 'git bisect start' for the following reasons: * By construction, the terms will be valid for one and only one bisection. * Unlike positional arguments, using named options avoid having to remember an order. * We can combine user-defined terms and passing old/new commits as argument to "git bisect start". * The implementation is relatively simple.

2015-08-03bisect: add the terms old/newLibravatar Antoine Delaite1-0/+38
When not looking for a regression during a bisect but for a fix or a change in another given property, it can be confusing to use 'good' and 'bad'. This patch introduce `git bisect new` and `git bisect old` as an alternative to 'bad' and good': the commits which have a certain property must be marked as `new` and the ones which do not as `old`. The output will be the first commit after the change in the property. During a new/old bisect session you cannot use bad/good commands and vice-versa. Some commands are still not available for old/new: * git rev-list --bisect does not treat the revs/bisect/new and revs/bisect/old-SHA1 files.

2015-03-20t6030: use modern test_* helpersLibravatar Jeff King1-60/+31
We can get rid of a lot of hand-rolled error messages by using test_must_fail and test_expect_code. The existing code was careful to use "|| return 1" when breaking the &&-chain, but it did fool --chain-lint; the new code is more idiomatic. We also add some uses of test_when_finished, which is less cryptic and more robust than putting code at the end of a test. In two cases we run "git bisect reset" from a subshell, which is a problem for test_when_finished (it would not run). However, in both of these cases, we are performing the tests in one-off sub-repos, so we do not need to clean up at all (and in fact it is nicer not to if the user wants to inspect the trash directory after a failure).

2010-03-01bisect: error out when passing bad path parametersLibravatar Christian Couder1-0/+5
As reported by Mark Lodato, "git bisect", when it was started with path parameters that match no commit was kind of working without taking account of path parameters and was reporting something like: Bisecting: -1 revisions left to test after this (roughly 0 steps) It is more correct and safer to just error out in this case, before displaying the revisions left, so this patch does just that. Note that this bug is very old, it exists at least since v1.5.5. And it is possible to detect that case earlier in the bisect algorithm, but it is not clear that it would be an improvement to error out earlier, on the contrary it may change the behavior of "git rev-list --bisect-all" for example, which is currently correct.

Using a PRNG (pseudo random number generator) with a bias should be better than alternating between 3 fixed ratios. In repositories with many untestable commits it should prevent alternating between areas where many commits are untestable. The bias should favor commits that can give more information, so that the bisection process should not loose much efficiency. HPA suggested to use a PRNG and found that the best bias is to raise a ratio between 0 and 1 given by the PRNG to the power 1.5. An integer square root function is implemented to avoid including <math.h> and linking with -lm. A PRNG function is implemented to get the same number sequence on different machines as suggested by "man 3 rand".

2009-02-27bisect: fix quoting TRIED revs when "bad" commit is also "skip"pedLibravatar Christian Couder1-0/+25
When the "bad" commit was also "skip"ped and when more than one commit was skipped, the "filter_skipped" function would have printed something like: bisect_rev=<hash1>|<hash2> (where <hash1> and <hash2> are hexadecimal sha1 hashes) and this would have been evaled later as piping "bisect_rev=<hash1>" into "<hash2>", which would have failed. So this patch makes the "filter_skipped" function properly quote what it outputs, so that it will print something like: bisect_rev='<hash1>|<hash2>' which will be properly evaled later. The caller was not stopping properly because the scriptlet this function returned to be evaled was not strung together with && and because of this, an error in an earlier part of the output was simply ignored. A test case is added to the test suite. And while at it, we also initialize the VARS, FOUND and TRIED variables, so that we protect ourselves from environment variables the user may have with these names.

2008-08-27bisect: only check merge bases when neededLibravatar Christian Couder1-0/+24
When one good revision is not an ancestor of the bad revision, the merge bases between the good and the bad revision should be checked to make sure that they are also good revisions. A previous patch takes care of that, but it may check the merge bases more often than really needed. In fact the previous patch did not try to optimize this as much as possible because it is not so simple. So this is the purpose of this patch. One may think that when all the merge bases have been checked then we can save a flag, so that we don't need to check the merge bases again during the bisect process. The problem is that the user may choose to checkout and test something completely different from what the bisect process suggested. In this case we have to check the merge bases again, because there may be new merge bases relevant to the bisect process. That's why, in this patch, when we detect that the user tested something else than what the bisect process suggested, we remove the flag that says that we don't need to check the merge bases again.

2008-08-27bisect: test merge base if good rev is not an ancestor of bad revLibravatar Christian Couder1-0/+90
Before this patch, "git bisect", when it was given some good revs that are not ancestor of the bad rev, didn't check if the merge bases were good. "git bisect" just supposed that the user knew what he was doing, and that, when he said the revs were good, he knew that it meant that all the revs in the history leading to the good revs were also considered good. But in pratice, the user may not know that a good rev is not an ancestor of the bad rev, or he may not know/remember that all revs leading to the good rev will be considered good. So he may give a good rev that is a sibling, instead of an ancestor, of the bad rev, when in fact there can be one rev becoming good in the branch of the good rev (because the bug was already fixed there, for example) instead of one rev becoming bad in the branch of the bad rev. For example, if there is the following history: A--B--C--D \ E--F and we launch "git bisect start D F" then only C and D would have been considered as possible first bad commit before this patch. This could invite user errors; F could be the commit that fixes the bug that exists everywhere else. The purpose of this patch is to detect when "git bisect" is passed some good revs that are not ancestors of the bad rev, and then to first ask the user to test the merge bases between the good and bad revs. If the merge bases are good then all is fine, we can continue bisecting. Otherwise, if one merge base is bad, it means that the assumption that all revs leading to the good one are good too is wrong and we error out. In the case where one merge base is skipped we issue a warning and then continue bisecting anyway. These checks will also catch the case where good and bad have been mistaken. This means that we can remove the check that was done latter on the output of "git rev-list --bisect-vars".

When "git bisect" was first written, it was not possible to checkout a detached HEAD. The detached feature appeared latter. That's why before this patch the "git bisect" process used a "bisect" branch to checkout new revisions to be tested (and also a "new-bisect" one to check if the checkouts could work). This patch makes "git bisect" checkout revisions to be tested on a detached HEAD. This simplifies the code a bit. The tests to check that "git bisect" does not start if a "bisect" or a "new-bisect" branch exists are removed as they are not relevant any more.

2008-05-22bisect: trap critical errors in "bisect_start"Libravatar Christian Couder1-6/+4
Before this patch, when using "git bisect start" with mistaken revs or when the checkout of the branch we want to test failed, we exited after having written files like ".git/BISECT_START", ".git/BISECT_NAMES" and after having written "refs/bisect/bad" and "refs/bisect/good-*" refs. With this patch we trap all errors that can happen when writing the new state and when we are in "bisect_next". So that we can try to clean up everything in case of problems, using "bisect_clean_state". This patch also contains a "bisect_write" cleanup to make it exit on error and return 0 otherwise.
