2017-11-22pack-objects: add list-objects filteringLibravatar Jeff Hostetler1-0/+375
Teach pack-objects to use the filtering provided by the traverse_commit_list_filtered() interface to omit unwanted objects from the resulting packfile. Filtering requires the use of the "--stdout" option. Add t5317 test. In the future, we will introduce a "partial clone" mechanism wherein an object in a repo, obtained from a remote, may reference a missing object that can be dynamically fetched from that remote once needed. This "partial clone" mechanism will have a way, sometimes slow, of determining if a missing link is one of the links expected to be produced by this mechanism. This patch introduces handling of missing objects to help debugging and development of the "partial clone" mechanism, and once the mechanism is implemented, for a power user to perform operations that are missing-object aware without incurring the cost of checking if a missing link is expected.

Teach rev-list to use the filtering provided by the traverse_commit_list_filtered() interface to omit unwanted objects from the result. Object filtering is only allowed when one of the "--objects*" options are used. When the "--filter-print-omitted" option is used, the omitted objects are printed at the end. These are marked with a "~". This option can be combined with "--quiet" to get a list of just the omitted objects. Add t6112 test.

Transactions to update multiple references that involves a deletion was quite broken in an error codepath and did not abort everything correctly. * mh/ref-locking-fix: files_transaction_prepare(): fix handling of ref lock failure t1404: add a bunch of tests of D/F conflicts
2017-10-25files_transaction_prepare(): fix handling of ref lock failureLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-8/+8
Since dc39e09942 (files_ref_store: use a transaction to update packed refs, 2017-09-08), failure to lock a reference has been handled incorrectly by `files_transaction_prepare()`. If `lock_ref_for_update()` fails in the lock-acquisition loop of that function, it sets `ret` then breaks out of that loop. Prior to dc39e09942, that was OK, because the only thing following the loop was the cleanup code. But dc39e09942 added another blurb of code between the loop and the cleanup. That blurb sometimes resets `ret` to zero, making the cleanup code think that the locking was successful. Specifically, whenever * One or more reference deletions have been processed successfully in the lock-acquisition loop. (Processing the first such reference causes a packed-ref transaction to be initialized.) * Then `lock_ref_for_update()` fails for a subsequent reference. Such a failure can happen for a number of reasons, such as the old SHA-1 not being correct, lock contention, etc. This causes a `break` out of the lock-acquisition loop. * The `packed-refs` lock is acquired successfully and `ref_transaction_prepare()` succeeds for the packed-ref transaction. This has the effect of resetting `ret` back to 0, and making the cleanup code think that lock acquisition was successful. In that case, any reference updates that were processed prior to breaking out of the loop would be carried out (loose and packed), but the reference that couldn't be locked and any subsequent references would silently be ignored. This can easily cause data loss if, for example, the user was trying to push a new name for an existing branch while deleting the old name. After the push, the branch could be left unreachable, and could even subsequently be garbage-collected. This problem was noticed in the context of deleting one reference and creating another in a single transaction, when the two references D/F conflict with each other, like git update-ref --stdin <<EOF delete refs/foo create refs/foo/bar HEAD EOF This triggers the above bug because the deletion is processed successfully for `refs/foo`, then the D/F conflict causes `lock_ref_for_update()` to fail when `refs/foo/bar` is processed. In this case the transaction *should* fail, but instead it causes `refs/foo` to be deleted without creating `refs/foo`. This could easily result in data loss. The fix is simple: instead of just breaking out of the loop, jump directly to the cleanup code. This fixes some tests in t1404 that were added in the previous commit.

2017-10-25t1404: add a bunch of tests of D/F conflictsLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+141
It is currently not allowed, in a single transaction, to add one reference and delete another reference if the two reference names D/F conflict with each other (e.g., like `refs/foo/bar` and `refs/foo`). The reason is that the code would need to take locks $GIT_DIR/refs/foo.lock $GIT_DIR/refs/foo/bar.lock But the latter lock couldn't coexist with the loose reference file $GIT_DIR/refs/foo , because `$GIT_DIR/refs/foo` cannot be both a directory and a file at the same time (hence the name "D/F conflict). Add a bunch of tests that we cleanly reject such transactions. In fact, many of the new tests currently fail. They will be fixed in the next commit along with an explanation.

2017-10-18Merge branch 'jk/ref-filter-colors-fix'Libravatar Junio C Hamano3-5/+26
This is the "theoretically more correct" approach of simply stepping back to the state before plumbing commands started paying attention to "color.ui" configuration variable. Let's run with this one. * jk/ref-filter-colors-fix: tag: respect color.ui config Revert "color: check color.ui in git_default_config()" Revert "t6006: drop "always" color config tests" Revert "color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config"
2017-10-17tag: respect color.ui configLibravatar Jeff King2-0/+11
Since 11b087adfd (ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors, 2017-07-13), we expect that setting "color.ui" to "always" will enable color tag formats even without a tty. As that commit was built on top of 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui in git_default_config(), 2017-07-13) from the same series, we didn't need to touch tag's config parsing at all. However, since we reverted 136c8c8b8f, we now need to explicitly call git_color_default_config() to make this work. Let's do so, and also restore the test dropped in 0c88bf5050 (provide --color option for all ref-filter users, 2017-10-03). That commit swapped out our "color.ui=always" test for "--color" in preparation for "always" going away. But since it is here to stay, we should test both cases. Note that for-each-ref also lost its color.ui support as part of reverting 136c8c8b8f. But as a plumbing command, it should _not_ respect the color.ui config. Since it also gained a --color option in 0c88bf5050, that's the correct way to ask it for color. We'll continue to test that, and confirm that "color.ui" is not respected.

2017-10-17Revert "color: check color.ui in git_default_config()"Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
This reverts commit 136c8c8b8fa39f1315713248473dececf20f8fe7. That commit was trying to address a bug caused by 4c7f1819b3 (make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10), in which plumbing like diff-tree defaulted to "auto" color, but did not respect a "color.ui" directive to disable it. But it also meant that we started respecting "color.ui" set to "always". This was a known problem, but 4c7f1819b3 argued that nobody ought to be doing that. However, that turned out to be wrong, and we got a number of bug reports related to "add -p" regressing in v2.14.2. Let's revert 136c8c8b8, fixing the regression to "add -p". This leaves the problem from 4c7f1819b3 unfixed, but: 1. It's a pretty obscure problem in the first place. I only noticed it while working on the color code, and we haven't got a single bug report or complaint about it. 2. We can make a more moderate fix on top by respecting "never" but not "always" for plumbing commands. This is just the minimal fix to go back to the working state we had before v2.14.2. Note that this isn't a pure revert. We now have a test in t3701 which shows off the "add -p" regression. This can be flipped to success.

That commit was done primarily to prepare for the weakening of "always" in 6be4595edb (color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config, 2017-10-03). But since we've now reverted 6be4595edb, there's no need for us to remove "-c color.ui=always" from the tests.

2017-10-17Revert "color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config"Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
This reverts commit 6be4595edb8e5b616c6e8b9fbc78b0f831fa2a87. That commit weakened the "always" setting of color config so that it acted as "auto". This was meant to solve regressions in v2.14.2 in which setting "color.ui=always" in the on-disk config broke scripts like add--interactive, because the plumbing diff commands began to generate color output. This was due to 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui in git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which was in turn trying to fix issues caused by 4c7f1819b3 (make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10). But in weakening "always", we created even more problems, as people expect to be able to use "git -c color.ui=always" to force color (especially because some commands don't have their own --color flag). We can fix that by special-casing the command-line "-c", but now things are getting pretty confusing. Instead of piling hacks upon hacks, let's start peeling off the hacks. The first step is dropping the weakening of "always", which this revert does. Note that we could actually revert the whole series merged in by da15b78e52642bd45fd5513ab0000fdf2e58a6f4. Most of that series consists of preparations to the tests to handle the weakening of "-c color.ui=always". But it's worth keeping for a few reasons: - there are some other preparatory cleanups, like e433749d86 (test-terminal: set TERM=vt100, 2017-10-03) - it adds "--color" options more consistently in 0c88bf5050 (provide --color option for all ref-filter users, 2017-10-03) - some of the cases dropping "-c" end up being more robust and realistic tests, as in 01c94e9001 (t7508: use test_terminal for color output, 2017-10-03) - the preferred tool for overriding config is "--color", and we should be modeling that consistently We can individually revert the few commits necessary to restore some useful tests (which will be done on top of this patch). Note that this isn't a pure revert; we'll keep the test added in t3701, but mark it as failure for now. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

A recently added "--color-moved" feature of "diff" fell into infinite loop when ignoring whitespace changes, which has been fixed. * sb/diff-color-move: diff: fix infinite loop with --color-moved --ignore-space-change
2017-10-16diff: fix infinite loop with --color-moved --ignore-space-changeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+9
The --color-moved code uses next_byte() to advance through the blob contents. When the user has asked to ignore whitespace changes, we try to collapse any whitespace change down to a single space. However, we enter the conditional block whenever we see the IGNORE_WHITESPACE_CHANGE flag, even if the next byte isn't whitespace. This means that the combination of "--color-moved and --ignore-space-change" was completely broken. Worse, because we return from next_byte() without having advanced our pointer, the function makes no forward progress in the buffer and loops infinitely. Fix this by entering the conditional only when we actually see whitespace. We can apply this also to the IGNORE_WHITESPACE change. That code path isn't buggy (because it falls through to returning the next non-whitespace byte), but it makes the logic more clear if we only bother to look at whitespace flags after seeing that the next byte is whitespace.

2017-10-07refs_resolve_ref_unsafe: handle d/f conflicts for writesLibravatar Jeff King2-1/+35
If our call to refs_read_raw_ref() fails, we check errno to see if the ref is simply missing, or if we encountered a more serious error. If it's just missing, then in "write" mode (i.e., when RESOLVE_REFS_READING is not set), this is perfectly fine. However, checking for ENOENT isn't sufficient to catch all missing-ref cases. In the filesystem backend, we may also see EISDIR when we try to resolve "a" and "a/b" exists. Likewise, we may see ENOTDIR if we try to resolve "a/b" and "a" exists. In both of those cases, we know that our resolved ref doesn't exist, but we return an error (rather than reporting the refname and returning a null sha1). This has been broken for a long time, but nobody really noticed because the next step after resolving without the READING flag is usually to lock the ref and write it. But in both of those cases, the write will fail with the same errno due to the directory/file conflict. There are two cases where we can notice this, though: 1. If we try to write "a" and there's a leftover directory already at "a", even though there is no ref "a/b". The actual write is smart enough to move the empty "a" out of the way. This is reasonably rare, if only because the writing code has to do an independent resolution before trying its write (because the actual update_ref() code handles this case fine). The notes-merge code does this, and before the fix in the prior commit t3308 erroneously expected this case to fail. 2. When resolving symbolic refs, we typically do not use the READING flag because we want to resolve even symrefs that point to unborn refs. Even if those unborn refs could not actually be written because of d/f conflicts with existing refs. You can see this by asking "git symbolic-ref" to report the target of a symref pointing past a d/f conflict. We can fix the problem by recognizing the other "missing" errnos and treating them like ENOENT. This should be safe to do even for callers who are then going to actually write the ref, because the actual writing process will fail if the d/f conflict is a real one (and t1404 checks these cases). Arguably this should be the responsibility of the files-backend to normalize all "missing ref" errors into ENOENT (since something like EISDIR may not be meaningful at all to a database backend). However other callers of refs_read_raw_ref() may actually care about the distinction; putting this into resolve_ref() is the minimal fix for now. The new tests in t1401 use git-symbolic-ref, which is the most direct way to check the resolution by itself. Interestingly we actually had a test that setup this case already, but we only used it to verify that the funny state could be overwritten, not that it could be resolved. We also add a new test in t3200, as "branch -m" was the original motivation for looking into this. What happens is this: 0. HEAD is pointing to branch "a" 1. The user asks to rename "a" to "a/b". 2. We create "a/b" and delete "a". 3. We then try to update any worktree HEADs that point to the renamed ref (including the main repo HEAD). To do that, we have to resolve each HEAD. But now our HEAD is pointing at "a", and we get EISDIR due to the loose "a/b". As a result, we think there is no HEAD, and we do not update it. It now points to the bogus "a". Interestingly this case used to work, but only accidentally. Before 31824d180d (branch: fix branch renaming not updating HEADs correctly, 2017-08-24), we'd update any HEAD which we couldn't resolve. That was wrong, but it papered over the fact that we were incorrectly failing to resolve HEAD. So while the bug demonstrated by the git-symbolic-ref is quite old, the regression to "branch -m" is recent. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-10-07t3308: create a real ref directory/file conflictLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1

But that understimates the refs code, which is smart enough to remove useless directories in the refs hierarchy. The test succeeded only because of a bug which prevented resolving refs/notes/dir for writing, even though an actual ref update would succeed. In preparation for fixing that bug, let's switch to creating a real ref in refs/notes/dir, which is a more realistic situation.

2017-10-06fsck: handle NULL return of lookup_blob() and lookup_tree()Libravatar René Scharfe1-0/+22
lookup_blob() and lookup_tree() can return NULL if they find an object of an unexpected type. Accessing the object member is undefined in that case. Cast the result to a struct object pointer instead; we can do that because object is the first member of all object types. This trick is already used in other places in the code. An error message is already shown by object_as_type(), which is called by the lookup functions. The walk callback functions are expected to handle NULL object pointers passed to them, but put_object_name() needs a valid object, so avoid calling it without one.

2017-10-05ref-filter.c: pass empty-string as NULL to atom parsersLibravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+1
Peff points out that different atom parsers handle the empty "sub-argument" list differently. An example of this is the format "%(refname:)". Since callers often use `string_list_split` (which splits the empty string with any delimiter as a 1-ary string_list containing the empty string), this makes handling empty sub-argument strings non-ergonomic. Let's fix this by declaring that atom parser implementations must not care about distinguishing between the empty string "%(refname:)" and no sub-arguments "%(refname)". Current code aborts, either with "unrecognised arg" (e.g. "refname:") or "does not take args" (e.g. "body:") as an error message.

2017-10-04color: make "always" the same as "auto" in configLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+10
It can be handy to use `--color=always` (or it's synonym `--color`) on the command-line to convince a command to produce color even if it's stdout isn't going to the terminal or a pager. What's less clear is whether it makes sense to set config variables like color.ui to `always`. For a one-shot like: git -c color.ui=always ... it's potentially useful (especially if the command doesn't directly support the `--color` option). But setting `always` in your on-disk config is much muddier, as you may be surprised when piped commands generate colors (and send them to whatever is consuming the pipe downstream). Some people have done this anyway, because: 1. The documentation for color.ui makes it sound like using `always` is a good idea, when you almost certainly want `auto`. 2. Traditionally not every command (and especially not plumbing) respected color.ui in the first place. So the confusion came up less frequently than it might have. The situation changed in 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui in git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which negated point (2): now scripts using only plumbing commands (like add-interactive) are broken by this setting. That commit was fixing real issues (e.g., by making `color.ui=never` work, since `auto` is the default), so we don't want to just revert it. We could turn `always` into a noop in plumbing commands, but that creates a hard-to-explain inconsistency between the plumbing and other commands. Instead, let's just turn `always` into `auto` for all config. This does break the "one-shot" config shown above, but again, we're probably better to have simple and consistent rules than to try to special-case command-line config. There is one place where `always` should retain its meaning: on the command line, `--color=always` should continue to be the same as `--color`, overriding any isatty checks. Since the command-line parser also depends on git_config_colorbool(), we can use the existence of the "var" string to deterine whether we are serving the command-line or the config.

2017-10-04provide --color option for all ref-filter usersLibravatar Jeff King2-4/+4
When ref-filter learned about want_color() in 11b087adfd (ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors, 2017-07-13), it became useful to be able to turn colors off and on for specific commands. For git-branch, you can do so with --color/--no-color. But for git-for-each-ref and git-tag, the other users of ref-filter, you have no option except to tweak the "color.ui" config setting. Let's give both of these commands the usual color command-line options. This is a bit more obvious as a method for overriding the config. And it also prepares us for the behavior of "always" changing (so that we are still left with a way of forcing color when our output goes to a non-terminal).

2017-10-04t3205: use --color instead of color.branch=alwaysLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+2
To test the color output, we must convince "git branch" to write colors to a non-terminal. We do that now by setting the color config to "always". In preparation for the behavior of "always" changing, let's switch to using the "--color" command-line option, which is more direct.

2017-10-04t3203: drop "always" color testLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+0

2017-10-04t6006: drop "always" color config testsLibravatar Jeff King1-15/+5
We test the %C() format placeholders with a variety of color-inducing options, including "--color" and "-c color.ui=always". In preparation for the behavior of "always" changing, we need to do something with those "always" tests. We can drop ones that expect "always" to turn on color even to a file, as that will become a synonym for "auto", which is already tested. For the "--no-color" test, we need to make sure that color would otherwise be shown. To do this, we can use test_terminal, which enables colors in the default setup.

2017-10-04t7502: use diff.noprefix for --verbose testLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
To check that "status -v" respects diff config, we set "color.diff" and look at the output of "status". We could equally well use any diff config. Since color output depends on a lot of other factors (like whether stdout is a tty, and how we interpret "always"), let's use a more mundane option.

2017-10-04t7508: use test_terminal for color outputLibravatar Jeff King1-20/+21
This script tests the output of status with various formats when color is enabled. It uses the "always" setting so that the output is valid even though we capture it in a file. Using test_terminal gives us a more realistic environment, and prepares us for the behavior of "always" changing. Arguably we are testing less than before, since "auto" is already the default, and we can no longer tell if the config is actually doing anything.

2017-10-04t3701: use test-terminal to collect color outputLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+3
When testing whether "add -p" can generate colors, we set color.ui to "always". This isn't a very good test, as in the real-world a user typically has "auto" coupled with stdout going to a terminal (and it's plausible that this could mask a real bug in add--interactive if we depend on plumbing's isatty check). Let's switch to test_terminal, which gives us a more realistic environment. This also prepare us for future changes to the "always" color option.

2017-10-04t4015: prefer --color to -c color.diff=alwaysLibravatar Jeff King1-14/+14
t4015 contains many color-related tests which need to override the "is stdout a tty" check. They do so by setting the color.diff config, but we can accomplish the same with the --color option. Besides being shorter to type, switching will prepare us for upcoming changes to "always" when see it in config.

2017-10-04test-terminal: set TERM=vt100Libravatar Jeff King7-10/+9
The point of the test-terminal script is to simulate in the test scripts an environment where output is going to a real terminal. But since test-lib.sh also sets TERM=dumb, the simulation isn't very realistic. The color code will skip auto-coloring for TERM=dumb, leading to us liberally sprinkling test_terminal env TERM=vt100 git ... through the test suite to convince the tests to actually generate colors. Let's set TERM for programs run under test_terminal, which is one less thing for test-writers to remember. In most cases the callers can be simplified, but note there is one interesting case in t4202. It uses test_terminal to check the auto-enabling of --decorate, but the expected output _doesn't_ contain colors (because TERM=dumb suppresses them). Using TERM=vt100 is closer to what the real world looks like; adjust the expected output to match. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
