2011-01-27fast-import: treat filemodify with empty tree as deleteLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+42
Normal git processes do not allow one to build a tree with an empty subtree entry without trying hard at it. This is in keeping with the general UI philosophy: git tracks content, not empty directories. v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (2010-06-30) changed that by making it easy to include an empty subtree in fast-import's active commit: M 040000 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 subdir One can trigger this by reading an empty tree (for example, the tree corresponding to an empty root commit) and trying to move it to a subtree. It is better and more closely analogous to 'git read-tree --prefix' to treat such commands as requests to remove the subtree.

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.

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: 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.

2010-10-18fast-import: tighten M 040000 syntaxLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+30
When tree_content_set() is asked to modify the path "foo/bar/", it first recurses like so: tree_content_set(root, "foo/bar/", sha1, S_IFDIR) -> tree_content_set(root:foo, "bar/", ...) -> tree_content_set(root:foo/bar, "", ...) And as a side-effect of 2794ad5 (fast-import: Allow filemodify to set the root, 2010-10-10), this last call is accepted and changes the tree entry for root:foo/bar to refer to the specified tree. That seems safe enough but let's reject the new syntax (we never meant to support it) and make it harder for frontends to introduce pointless incompatibilities with git fast-import 1.7.3.

2010-10-13fast-import: Allow filemodify to set the rootLibravatar David Barr1-0/+21
v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (Teach fast-import to import subtrees named by tree id, 2010-06-30) has a shortcoming - it doesn't allow the root to be set. Extend this behaviour by allowing the root to be referenced as the empty path, "". For a command (like filter-branch --subdirectory-filter) that wants to commit a lot of trees that already exist in the object db, writing undeltified objects as loose files only to repack them later can involve a significant amount of overhead. (23% slow-down observed on Linux 2.6.35, worse on Mac OS X 10.6) Fortunately we have fast-import (which is one of the only git commands that will write to a pack directly) but there is not an advertised way to tell fast-import to commit a given tree without unpacking it. This patch changes that, by allowing M 040000 <tree id> "" as a filemodify line in a commit to reset to a particular tree without any need to parse it. For example, M 040000 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 "" is a synonym for the deleteall command and the fast-import equivalent of git read-tree 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 Signed-off-by: David Barr <david.barr@cordelta.com> Commit-message-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Acked-by: Sverre Rabbelier <srabbelier@gmail.com> Tested-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

dump_marks_helper() has a bug when dumping marks larger than 2^20-1, i.e., when the sparse array has more than two levels. The bug was that the 'base' counter was being shifted by 20 bits at level 3, and then again by 10 bits at level 2, rather than a total shift of 20 bits in this argument to the recursive call: (base + k) << m->shift There are two ways to fix this correctly, the elegant: (base + k) << 10 and the one I chose due to edit distance: base + (k << m->shift) Signed-off-by: Raja R Harinath <harinath@hurrynot.org> Acked-by: Shawn O.

2009-12-07fast-import: Proper notes tree manipulationLibravatar Johan Herland1-13/+143
This patch teaches 'git fast-import' to automatically organize note objects in a fast-import stream into an appropriate fanout structure. The notes API in notes.h is NOT used to accomplish this, because trying to keep the fast-import and notes data structures in sync would yield a significantly larger patch with higher complexity. Note objects are added with the 'N' command, and accounted for with a per-branch counter, which is used to trigger fanout restructuring when needed. Note that when restructuring the branch tree, _any_ entry whose path consists of 40 hex chars (not including directory separators) will be recognized as a note object. It is therefore not advisable to manipulate note entries with M/D/R/C commands. Since note objects are stored in the same tree structure as other objects, the unloading and reloading of a fast-import branches handle note objects transparently.

After specifying 'feature relative-marks' the paths specified with 'feature import-marks' and 'feature export-marks' are relative to an internal directory in the current repository. In git-fast-import this means that the paths are relative to the '.git/info/fast-import' directory. However, other importers may use a different location. Add 'feature non-relative-marks' to disable this behavior, this way it is possible to, for example, specify the import-marks location as relative, and the export-marks location as non-relative.

2008-10-13Fix fetch/pull when run without --update-head-okLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
Some confusing tutorials suggested that it would be a good idea to fetch into the current branch with something like this: git fetch origin master:master (or even worse: the same command line with "pull" instead of "fetch"). While it might make sense to store what you want to pull, it typically is plain wrong when the current branch is "master". This should only be allowed when (an incorrect) "git pull origin master:master" tries to work around by giving --update-head-ok to underlying "git fetch", and otherwise we should refuse it, but somewhere along the lines we lost that behavior. The check for the current branch is now _only_ performed in non-bare repositories, which is an improvement from the original behaviour.

Many test scripts assumed that they will start in a 'trash' subdirectory that is a single level down from the t/ directory, and referred to their test vector files by asking for files like "../t9999/expect".

2008-02-01Sane use of test_expect_failureLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-12/+12
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".

2007-08-19Allow frontends to bidirectionally communicate with fast-importLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+31
The existing checkpoint command is very useful to force fast-import to dump the branches out to disk so that standard Git tools can access them and the objects they refer to. However there was not a way to know when fast-import had finished executing the checkpoint and it was safe to read those refs. The progress command can be used to make fast-import output any message of the frontend's choosing to standard out. The frontend can scan for these messages using select() or poll() to monitor a pipe connected to the standard output of fast-import. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-08-19Make trailing LF optional for all fast-import commandsLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+46
For the same reasons as the prior change we want to allow frontends to omit the trailing LF that usually delimits commands. In some cases these just make the input stream more verbose looking than it needs to be, and its just simpler for the frontend developer to get started if our parser is slightly more lenient about where an LF is required and where it isn't. To make this optional LF feature work we now have to buffer up to one line of input in command_buf. This buffering can happen if we look at the current input command but don't recognize it at this point in the code. In such a case we need to "unget" the entire line, but we cannot depend upon the stdio library to let us do ungetc() for that many characters at once. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-08-19Make trailing LF following fast-import `data` commands optionalLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+21
A few fast-import frontend developers have found it odd that we require the LF following a `data` command, especially in the exact byte count format. Technically we don't need this LF to parse the stream properly, but having it here does make the stream more readable to humans. We can easily make the LF optional by peeking at the next byte available from the stream and pushing it back into the buffer if its not LF. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-08-19Teach fast-import to ignore lines starting with '#'Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+40
Several frontend developers have asked that some form of stream comments be permitted within a fast-import data stream. This way they can include information from their own frontend program about where specific data was taken from in the source system, or about a decision that their frontend may have made while creating the fast-import data stream. This change introduces comments in the Bourne-shell/Tcl/Perl style. Lines starting with '#' are ignored, up to and including the LF. Unlike the above mentioned three languages however we do not look for and ignore leading whitespace. This just simplifies the definition of the comment format and the code that parses them. To make comments work we had to stop using read_next_command() within cmd_data() and directly invoke read_line() during the inline variant of the function. This is necessary to retain any lines of the input data that might otherwise look like a comment to fast-import. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-08-19Actually allow TAG_FIXUP branches in fast-importLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+47
Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> noticed while debugging a Git backend for cvs2svn that fast-import was barfing when he tried to use "TAG_FIXUP" as a branch name for temporary work needed to cleanup the tree prior to creating an annotated tag object. The reason we were rejecting the branch name was check_ref_format() returns -2 when there are less than 2 '/' characters in the input name. TAG_FIXUP has 0 '/' characters, but is technically just as valid of a ref as HEAD and MERGE_HEAD, so we really should permit it (and any other similar looking name) during import. New test cases have been added to make sure we still detect very wrong branch names (e.g. containing [ or starting with .) and yet still permit reasonable names (e.g. TAG_FIXUP).

2007-07-29git-diff: turn on recursion by defaultLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The tree recursion behavior of git-diff may appear inconsistent to the user because it depends on the format of the patch as well as whether one is diffing between trees or against the index. Since git-diff is a porcelain wrapper for low-level diff commands, it makes sense for its behavior to be consistent no matter what is being diffed. This patch turns on recursion in all cases.
