2013-10-29t: use perl instead of "$PERL_PATH" where applicableLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of "$PERL_PATH" when running tests, as the former is now a function which uses the latter. As the shorter "perl" is easier on the eyes, let's switch to using it everywhere. This is not quite a mechanical s/$PERL_PATH/perl/ replacement, though. There are some places where we invoke perl from a script we generate on the fly, and those scripts do not have access to our internal shell functions. The result can be double-checked by running: ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl make test which continues to pass even after this patch.

2013-06-23fast-import: allow moving the root treeLibravatar John Keeping1-1/+1
Because fast-import.c::tree_content_remove does not check for the empty path, it is not possible to move the root tree to a subdirectory. Instead the error "Path not in branch" is produced (note the double space where the empty path has been inserted). Fix this by explicitly checking for the empty path and handling it.

Commit 178e1de (fast-import: don't allow 'ls' of path with empty components, 2012-03-09) restricted paths which: . contain an empty directory component (e.g. foo//bar is invalid), . end with a directory separator (e.g. foo/ is invalid), . start with a directory separator (e.g. /foo is invalid). However, the implementation also caught the empty path, which should represent the root tree. Relax this restriction so that the empty path is explicitly allowed and refers to the root tree.

2012-06-12t: Replace 'perl' by $PERL_PATHLibravatar Vincent van Ravesteijn1-1/+1
GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS defines PERL_PATH to be used in the test suite. Only a few tests already actually use this variable when perl is needed. The other test just call 'perl' and it might happen that the wrong perl interpreter is used. This becomes problematic on Windows, when the perl interpreter that is compiled and installed on the Windows system is used, because this perl interpreter might introduce some unexpected LF->CRLF conversions.

2012-04-10fast-import: tighten parsing of datarefsLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-0/+287
The syntax for the use of mark references in fast-import demands either a SP (space) or LF (end-of-line) after a mark reference. Fast-import does not complain when garbage appears after a mark reference in some cases. Factor out parsing of mark references and complain if errant characters are found. Also be a little more careful when parsing "inline" and SHA1s, complaining if extra characters appear or if the form of the dataref is unrecognized. Buggy input can cause fast-import to produce the wrong output, silently, without error. This makes it difficult to track down buggy generators of fast-import streams. An example is seen in the last line of this commit command: commit refs/heads/S2 committer Name <name@example.com> 1112912893 -0400 data <<COMMIT commit message COMMIT from :1M 100644 :103 hello.c It is missing a newline and should be: [...] from :1 M 100644 :103 hello.c What fast-import does is to produce a commit with the same contents for hello.c as in refs/heads/S2^. What the buggy program was expecting was the contents of blob :103. While the resulting commit graph looked correct, the contents in some commits were wrong.

2012-03-16Merge "two fixes for fast-import's 'ls' command" from JonathanLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+39
Andrew Sayers noticed that the svn-fe | git fast-import pipeline mishandles a subversion history that copies the root directory to a sub-directory (e.g. doing `svn cp . trunk` to standardise your layout). As David Barr explained, the bug arises when the following command is sent to git fast-import: 'ls' SP ':1' SP LF Instead of reading back what is at the root of r1, it unconditionally reports the path as missing. After sleeping on it, here are two patches for 'maint'. One plugs a memory leak. The other ensures that trying to pass an empty path to the 'ls' command results in an error message that can help the frontend author instead of the silently broken conversion Andrew found. Then we can carefully add 'ls ""' support in 1.7.11. * commit 'refs/pull-request-tags/jn/maint-fast-import-empty-ls': fast-import: don't allow 'ls' of path with empty components fast-import: leakfix for 'ls' of dirty trees
2012-03-09fast-import: don't allow 'ls' of path with empty componentsLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+39
As the fast-import manual explains: The value of <path> must be in canonical form. That is it must not: . contain an empty directory component (e.g. foo//bar is invalid), . end with a directory separator (e.g. foo/ is invalid), . start with a directory separator (e.g. /foo is invalid), Unfortunately the "ls" command accepts these invalid syntaxes and responds by declaring that the indicated path is missing. This is too subtle and causes importers to silently misbehave; better to error out so the operator knows what's happening. The C, R, and M commands already error out for such paths.

It tries to do so via read_sha1_file, and then checks the size to be at least 46. That's weird, let's just allow to (annotated) tag any object referenced by sha1.

2011-08-14fast-import: prevent producing bad deltaLibravatar Dmitry Ivankov1-1/+1
To produce deltas for tree objects fast-import tracks two versions of tree's entries - base and current one. Base version stands both for a delta base of this tree, and for a entry inside a delta base of a parent tree. So care should be taken to keep it in sync. tree_content_set cuts away a whole subtree and replaces it with a new one (or NULL for lazy load of a tree with known sha1). It keeps a base sha1 for this subtree (needed for parent tree). And here is the problem, 'subtree' tree root doesn't have the implied base version entries. Adjusting the subtree to include them would mean a deep rewrite of subtree. Invalidating the subtree base version would mean recursive invalidation of parents' base versions. So just mark this tree as do-not-delta me. Abuse setuid bit for this purpose. tree_content_replace is the same as tree_content_set except that is is used to replace the root, so just clearing base sha1 here (instead of setting the bit) is fine.

2011-08-14fast-import: add a test for tree delta base corruptionLibravatar Dmitry Ivankov1-0/+41
fast-import is able to write imported tree objects in delta format. It holds a tree structure in memory where each tree entry may have a delta base sha1 assigned. When delta base data is needed it is reconstructed from this in-memory structure. Though sometimes the delta base data doesn't match the delta base sha1 so wrong or even corrupt pack is produced. Add a small test that produces a corrupt pack. It uses just tree copy and file modification commands aside from the very basic commit and blob commands.

2011-08-11fast-import: check committer name more strictlyLibravatar Dmitry Ivankov1-5/+5
The documentation declares following identity format: (<name> SP)? LT <email> GT where name is any string without LF and LT characters. But fast-import just accepts any string up to first GT instead of checking the whole format, and moreover just writes it as is to the commit object. git-fsck checks for [^<\n]* <[^<>\n]*> format. Note that the space is mandatory. And the space quirk is already handled via extending the string to the left when needed. Modify fast-import input identity format to a slightly stricter one - deny LF, LT and GT in both <name> and <email>. And check for it. This is stricter then git-fsck as fsck accepts "Name> <email>" currently, but soon fsck check will be adjusted likewise.

fast-import format declares 'committer_name SP' to be optional in 'committer_name SP LT email GT'. But for a (commit) object SP is obligatory while zero length committer_name is ok. git-fsck checks that SP is present, so fast-import must prepend it if the name SP part is omitted. It doesn't do so and thus for "LT email GT" ident it writes a bad object. Name cannot contain LT or GT, ident always comes after SP in fast-import. So if ident starts with LT reuse the SP as if a valid 'SP LT email GT' ident was passed. This fixes a ident parsing bug for a well-formed fast-import input.

2011-07-19fast-import: introduce 'done' commandLibravatar Sverre Rabbelier1-0/+42
Add a 'done' command that causes fast-import to stop reading from the stream and exit. If the new --done command line flag was passed on the command line (or a "feature done" declaration included at the start of the stream), make the 'done' command mandatory. So "git fast-import --done"'s input format will be prefix-free, making errors easier to detect when they show up as early termination at some convenient time of the upstream of a pipe writing to fast-import. Another possible application of the 'done' command would to be allow a fast-import stream that is only a small part of a larger encapsulating stream to be easily parsed, leaving the file offset after the "done\n" so the other application can pick up from there.

2011-02-26fast-import: add 'ls' commandLibravatar David Barr1-8/+84
Lazy fast-import frontend authors that want to rely on the backend to keep track of the content of the imported trees _almost_ have what they need in the 'cat-blob' command (v1.7.4-rc0~30^2~3, 2010-11-28). But it is not quite enough, since (1) cat-blob can be used to retrieve the content of files, but not their mode, and (2) using cat-blob requires the frontend to keep track of a name (mark number or object id) for each blob to be retrieved Introduce an 'ls' command to complement cat-blob and take care of the remaining needs. The 'ls' command finds what is at a given path within a given tree-ish (tag, commit, or tree): 'ls' SP <dataref> SP <path> LF or in fast-import's active commit: 'ls' SP <path> LF The response is a single line sent through the cat-blob channel, imitating ls-tree output. So for example: FE> ls :1 Documentation gfi> 040000 tree 9e6c2b599341d28a2a375f8207507e0a2a627fe9 Documentation FE> ls 9e6c2b599341d28a2a375f8207507e0a2a627fe9 git-fast-import.txt gfi> 100644 blob 4f92954396e3f0f97e75b6838a5635b583708870 git-fast-import.txt FE> ls :1 RelNotes gfi> 120000 blob b942e499449d97aeb50c73ca2bdc1c6e6d528743 RelNotes FE> cat-blob b942e499449d97aeb50c73ca2bdc1c6e6d528743 gfi> b942e499449d97aeb50c73ca2bdc1c6e6d528743 blob 32 gfi> Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.4.txt The most interesting parts of the reply are the first word, which is a 6-digit octal mode (regular file, executable, symlink, directory, or submodule), and the part from the second space to the tab, which is a <dataref> that can be used in later cat-blob, ls, and filemodify (M) commands to refer to the content (blob, tree, or commit) at that path. If there is nothing there, the response is "missing some/path". The intent is for this command to be used to read files from the active commit, so a frontend can apply patches to them, and to copy files and directories from previous revisions. For example, proposed updates to svn-fe use this command in place of its internal representation of the repository directory structure. This simplifies the frontend a great deal and means support for resuming an import in a separate fast-import run (i.e., incremental import) is basically free.

Normal git processes do not allow one to build a tree with an empty subtree entry without trying hard at it.

2011-01-18fast-import: Introduce --import-marks-if-existsLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-0/+55
When a frontend uses a marks file to ensure its state persists between runs, it may represent "clean slate" when bootstrapping with "no marks yet". In such a case, feeding the last state with --import-marks and saving the state after the current run with --export-marks would be a natural thing to do. The --import-marks option however errors out when the specified marks file doesn't exist; this makes bootstrapping a bit difficult. The location of the marks file becomes backend-dependent when --relative-marks is in effect, and the frontend cannot check for the existence of the file in such a case.

2010-12-19t9300: use perl "head -c" clone in place of "dd bs=1 count=16000" klugeLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-35/+49
It is unfortunate to have to issue thousands of one-byte read calls to work around dd's refusal to buffer input that would fill a block after a short read (a3a6f4, 2010-12-13). We could do better by using "head -c", if it were available on all platforms we cared about. Replace it with some simple perl. While doing so, restructure 9300.114 to use a subshell instead of a script. Subshells can inherit functions (like the new head_c) from the parent shell while external scripts cannot.

2010-12-12t9300: avoid short reads from ddLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-3/+3
dd is a thin wrapper around read(2). As open group Issue 7 explains: It shall read the input one block at a time, using the specified input block size; it shall then process the block of data actually returned, which could be smaller than the requested block size. Any short read --- for example from a pipe whose capacity cannot fill a block --- results in that block being truncated. As a result, the first cat-blob test (9300.114) fails on Mac OS X, where the pipe capacity is around 8 KiB. Fix the test by using a block size of 1. Each read will block until the next byte of input is available. It would be even nicer to use head -c which expresses the intention more clearly. Alas, IRIX "head" does not support the -c option.

2010-12-03t9300: remove unnecessary use of /dev/stdinLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+3
We really shouldn't be using these funny /dev/* files that did not exist in V7 UNIX in our tests when we do not have to. Output from $ git grep -n -e /dev/ --and --not -e /dev/null t/ tells us that, aside from use of /dev/urandom in apache.conf used in http tests, "dd if=/dev/stdin" added recently to t/t9300-fast-import.sh are the only offenders, and "dd" reads from the standard input by default, so removing them should be straightforward.

2010-12-01fast-import: Allow cat-blob requests at arbitrary points in streamLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+66
The new rule: a "cat-blob" can be inserted wherever a comment is allowed, which means at the start of any line except in the middle of a "data" command. This saves frontends from having to loop over everything they want to commit in the next commit and cat-ing the necessary objects in advance.

2010-12-01fast-import: let importers retrieve blobsLibravatar David Barr1-2/+191
New objects written by fast-import are not available immediately. Until a checkpoint has been started and finishes writing the pack index, any new blobs will not be accessible using standard git tools. So introduce a new way to access them: a "cat-blob" command in the command stream requests for fast-import to print a blob to stdout or a file descriptor specified by the argument to --cat-blob-fd. The value for cat-blob-fd cannot be specified in the stream because that would be a layering violation: the decision of where to direct a stream has to be made when fast-import is started anyway, so we might as well make the stream format is independent of that detail. Output uses the same format as "git cat-file --batch". Thanks to Sverre Rabbelier and Sam Vilain for guidance in designing the protocol.
