2021-08-11Merge branch 'jn/log-m-does-not-imply-p'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
Earlier "git log -m" was changed to always produce patch output, which would break existing scripts, which has been reverted. * jn/log-m-does-not-imply-p: Revert 'diff-merges: let "-m" imply "-p"'
2021-08-09Revert 'diff-merges: let "-m" imply "-p"'Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+2
This reverts commit f5bfcc823ba242a46e20fb6f71c9fbf7ebb222fe, which made "git log -m" imply "--patch" by default. The logic was that "-m", which makes diff generation for merges perform a diff against each parent, has no use unless I am viewing the diff, so we could save the user some typing by turning on display of the resulting diff automatically. That wasn't expected to adversely affect scripts because scripts would either be using a command like "git diff-tree" that already emits diffs by default or would be combining -m with a diff generation option such as --name-status. By saving typing for interactive use without adversely affecting scripts in the wild, it would be a pure improvement. The problem is that although diff generation options are only relevant for the displayed diff, a script author can imagine them affecting path limiting. For example, I might run git log -w --format=%H -- README hoping to list commits that edited README, excluding whitespace-only changes. In fact, a whitespace-only change is not TREESAME so the use of -w here has no effect (since we don't apply these diff generation flags to the diff_options struct rev_info::pruning used for this purpose), but the documentation suggests that it should work Suppose you specified foo as the <paths>. We shall call commits that modify foo !TREESAME, and the rest TREESAME. (In a diff filtered for foo, they look different and equal, respectively.) and a script author who has not tested whitespace-only changes wouldn't notice. Similarly, a script author could include git log -m --first-parent --format=%H -- README to filter the first-parent history for commits that modified README. The -m is a no-op but it reflects the script author's intent. For example, until 1e20a407fe2 (stash list: stop passing "-m" to "git log", 2021-05-21), "git stash list" did this. As a result, we can't safely change "-m" to imply "-p" without fear of breaking such scripts. Restore the previous behavior. Noticed because Rust's src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py made use of this same construct: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/87513. That script has been updated to omit the unnecessary "-m" option, but we can expect other scripts in the wild to have similar expectations.

2021-08-02mingw: align symlinks-related rmdir() behavior with LinuxLibravatar Thomas Bétous2-0/+16
When performing a rebase, rmdir() is called on the folder .git/logs. On Unix rmdir() exits without deleting anything in case .git/logs is a symbolic link but the equivalent functions on Windows (_rmdir, _wrmdir and RemoveDirectoryW) do not behave the same and remove the folder if it is symlinked even if it is not empty. This creates issues when folders in .git/ are symlinks which is especially the case when git-repo[1] is used: It replaces `.git/logs/` with a symlink. One such issue is that the _target_ of that symlink is removed e.g. during a `git rebase`, where `delete_reflog("REBASE_HEAD")` will not only try to remove `.git/logs/REBASE_HEAD` but then recursively try to remove the parent directories until an error occurs, a technique that obviously relies on `rmdir()` refusing to remove a symlink. This was reported in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2967. This commit updates mingw_rmdir() so that its behavior is the same as Linux rmdir() in case of symbolic links. To verify that Git does not regress on the reported issue, this patch adds a regression test for the `git rebase` symptom, even if the same `rmdir()` behavior is quite likely to cause potential problems in other Git commands as well. [1]: git-repo is a python tool built on top of Git which helps manage many Git repositories. It stores all the .git/ folders in a central place by taking advantage of symbolic links.

2021-07-30t0001: fix broken not-quite getcwd(3) test in bed67874e2Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason4-1/+32
With a54e938e5b (strbuf: support long paths w/o read rights in strbuf_getcwd() on FreeBSD, 2017-03-26) we had t0001 break on systems like OpenBSD and AIX whose getcwd(3) has standard (but not like glibc et al) behavior. This was partially fixed in bed67874e2 (t0001: skip test with restrictive permissions if getpwd(3) respects them, 2017-08-07). The problem with that fix is that while its analysis of the problem is correct, it doesn't actually call getcwd(3), instead it invokes "pwd -P". There is no guarantee that "pwd -P" is going to call getcwd(3), as opposed to e.g. being a shell built-in. On AIX under both bash and ksh this test breaks because "pwd -P" will happily display the current working directory, but getcwd(3) called by the "git init" we're testing here will fail to get it. I checked whether clobbering the $PWD environment variable would affect it, and it didn't. Presumably these shells keep track of their working directory internally. There's possible follow-up work here in teaching strbuf_getcwd() to get the working directory with whatever method "pwd" uses on these platforms. See [1] for a discussion of that, but let's take the easy way out here and just skip these tests by fixing the GETCWD_IGNORES_PERMS prerequisite to match the limitations of strbuf_getcwd(). 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/b650bef5-d739-d98d-e9f1-fa292b6ce982@web.de/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2021-07-23merge: apply autostash if merge strategy failsLibravatar Philippe Blain1-0/+8
Since 'git merge' learned '--autostash' in a03b55530a (merge: teach --autostash option, 2020-04-07), 'cmd_merge', once it is determined that we have to create a merge commit, calls 'create_autostash' if '--autostash' is given. As explained in a03b55530a, and made more abvious by the tests added in that commit, the autostash is then applied if the merge succeeds, either directly or by committing (after conflict resolution or if '--no-commit' was given), or if the merge is aborted with 'git merge --abort'. In some other cases, like the user calling 'git reset --merge' or 'git merge --quit', the autostash is not applied, but saved in the stash list. However, there exists a scenario that creates an autostash but does not apply nor save it to the stash list: if the chosen merge strategy completely fails to handle the merge, i.e. 'try_merge_strategy' returns 2. Apply the autostash in that case also. An easy way to test that is to try to merge more than two commits but explicitely ask for the 'recursive' merge strategy.

Since 'git merge' learned '--autostash' in a03b55530a (merge: teach --autostash option, 2020-04-07), 'cmd_merge', in the fast-forward case, calls 'create_autostash' before calling 'checkout_fast_forward' if '--autostash' is given. However, if 'checkout_fast_forward' fails, the autostash is not applied to the working tree, nor saved in the stash list, since the code simply calls 'goto done'. Be more helpful to the user by applying the autostash in that case. An easy way to test a failing fast-forward is when we are merging a branch that has a tracked file that conflicts with an untracked file in the working tree.

2021-07-22bundle tests: use test_cmp instead of grepLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-13/+53
Change the bundle tests to fully compare the expected "git ls-remote" or "git bundle list-heads" output, instead of merely grepping it. This avoids subtle regressions in the tests. In f62e0a39b6 (t5704 (bundle): add tests for bundle --stdin, 2010-04-19) the "bundle --stdin <rev-list options>" test was added to make sure we didn't include the tag. But since the --stdin mode didn't work until 5bb0fd2cab (bundle: arguments can be read from stdin, 2021-01-11) our grepping of "master" (later "main") missed the important part of the test. Namely that we should not include the "refs/tags/tag" tag in that case. Since the test only grepped for "main" in the output we'd miss a regression in that code. So let's use test_cmp instead, and also in the other nearby tests where it's easy. This does make things a bit more verbose in the case of the test that's checking the bundle header, since it's different under SHA1 and SHA256. I think this makes test easier to follow. I've got some WIP changes to extend the "git bundle" command to dump parts of the header out, which are easier to understand if we test the output explicitly like this.

2021-07-20unpack-trees: resolve sparse-directory/file conflictsLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-12/+12
When running unpack_trees() with a sparse index, we attempt to operate on the index without expanding the sparse directory entries. Thus, we operate by manipulating entire directories and passing them to the unpack function. In the case of the 'git checkout' command, this is the twoway_merge() function. There are several cases in twoway_merge() that handle different situations. One new one to add is the case of a directory/file conflict where the directory is sparse. Before the sparse index, such a conflict would appear as a list of file additions and deletions. Now, twoway_merge() initializes 'current', 'oldtree', and 'newtree' from src[0], src[1], and src[2], then sets 'oldtree' to NULL because it is equal to the df_conflict_entry. The way to determine that we have a directory/file conflict is to test that 'current' and 'newtree' disagree on being sparse directory entries. When we are in this case, we want to resolve the situation by calling merged_entry(). This allows replacing the 'current' entry with the 'newtree' entry. This is important for cases where we want to run 'git checkout' across the conflict and have the new HEAD represent the new file type at that path. The first NEEDSWORK comment dropped in t1092 demonstrates this necessary behavior. However, we still are in a confusing state when 'current' corresponds to a staged change within a sparse directory that is not present at HEAD. This should be atypical, because it requires adding a change outside of the sparse-checkout cone, but it is possible. Since we are unable to determine that this is a staged change within twoway_merge(), we cannot add a case to reject the merge at this point. I believe this is due to the use of df_conflict_entry in the place of 'oldtree' instead of using the valud at HEAD, which would provide some perspective to this decision. Any change that would allow this differentiation for staged entries would need to involve information further up in unpack_trees(). That work should be done, sometime, because we are further confusing the behavior of a directory/file conflict when staging a change in the directory. The two cases 'checkout behaves oddly with df-conflict-?' in t1092 demonstrate that even without a sparse-checkout, Git is not consistent in its behavior. Neither of the two options seems correct, either. This change makes the sparse-index behave differently than the typcial sparse-checkout case, but it does match the full checkout behavior in the df-conflict-2 case.

2021-07-20t1092: document bad 'git checkout' behaviorLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-2/+140
Add new branches to the test repo that demonstrate directory/file conflicts in different ways. Since the directory 'folder1/' has adjacent files 'folder1-', 'folder1.txt', and 'folder10' it causes searches for 'folder1/' to land in a different place in the index than a search for 'folder1'. This causes a change in behavior when working with the df-conflict-1 and df-conflict-2 branches, whose only difference is that the first uses 'folder1' as the conflict and the other uses 'folder2' which does not have these adjacent files. We can extend two tests that compare the behavior across different 'git checkout' commands, and we see already that the behavior will be different in some cases and not in others. The difference between the two test loops is that one uses 'git reset --hard' between iterations. Further, we isolate the behavior of creating a staged change within a directory and then checking out a branch where that directory is replaced with a file. A full checkout behaves differently across these two cases, while a sparse-checkout cone behaves consistently. In both cases, the behavior is wrong. In one case, the staged change is dropped entirely. The other case the staged change is kept, replacing the file at that location, but none of the other files in the directory are kept. Likely, the correct behavior in this case is to reject the checkout and report the conflict, leaving HEAD in its previous location. None of the cases behave this way currently. Use comments to demonstrate that the tested behavior is only a documentation of the current, incorrect behavior to ensure we do not _accidentally_ change it. Instead, we would prefer to change it on purpose with a future change. At this point, the sparse-index does not handle these 'git checkout' commands correctly. Or rather, it _does_ reject the 'git checkout' when we have the staged change, but for the wrong reason. It also rejects the 'git checkout' commands when there is no staged change and we want to replace a directory with a file. A fix for that unstaged case will follow in the next change, but that will make the sparse-index agree with the full checkout case in these documented incorrect behaviors.

2021-07-20merge-ort: restart merge with cached renames to reduce process entry costLibravatar Elijah Newren1-1/+1
The merge algorithm mostly consists of the following three functions: collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() Prior to the trivial directory resolution optimization of the last half dozen commits, process_entries() was consistently the slowest, followed by collect_merge_info(), then detect_and_process_renames(). When the trivial directory resolution applies, it often dramatically decreases the amount of time spent in the two slower functions. Looking at the performance results in the previous commit, the trivial directory resolution optimization helps amazingly well when there are no relevant renames. It also helps really well when reapplying a long series of linear commits (such as in a rebase or cherry-pick), since the relevant renames may well be cached from the first reapplied commit. But when there are any relevant renames that are not cached (represented by the just-one-mega testcase), then the optimization does not help at all. Often, I noticed that when the optimization does not apply, it is because there are a handful of relevant sources -- maybe even only one. It felt frustrating to need to recurse into potentially hundreds or even thousands of directories just for a single rename, but it was needed for correctness. However, staring at this list of functions and noticing that process_entries() is the most expensive and knowing I could avoid it if I had cached renames suggested a simple idea: change collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() into collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() <cache all the renames, and restart> collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() This may seem odd and look like more work. However, note that although we run collect_merge_info() twice, the second time we get to employ trivial directory resolves, which makes it much faster, so the increased time in collect_merge_info() is small. While we run detect_and_process_renames() again, all renames are cached so it's nearly a no-op (we don't call into diffcore_rename_extended() but we do have a little bit of data structure checking and fixing up). And the big payoff comes from the fact that process_entries(), will be much faster due to having far fewer entries to process. This restarting only makes sense if we can save recursing into enough directories to make it worth our while. Introduce a simple heuristic to guide this. Note that this heuristic uses a "wanted_factor" that I have virtually no actual real world data for, just some back-of-the-envelope quasi-scientific calculations that I included in some comments and then plucked a simple round number out of thin air. It could be that tweaking this number to make it either higher or lower improves the optimization. (There's slightly more here; when I first introduced this optimization, I used a factor of 10, because I was completely confident it was big enough to not cause slowdowns in special cases. I was certain it was higher than needed. Several months later, I added the rough calculations which make me think the optimal number is close to 2; but instead of pushing to the limit, I just bumped it to 3 to reduce the risk that there are special cases where this optimization can result in slowing down the code a little. If the ratio of path counts is below 3, we probably will only see minor performance improvements at best anyway.) Also, note that while the diffstat looks kind of long (nearly 100 lines), more than half of it is in two comments explaining how things work. For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28), this change improves the performance as follows: Before After no-renames: 205.1 ms ± 3.8 ms 204.2 ms ± 3.0 ms mega-renames: 1.564 s ± 0.010 s 1.076 s ± 0.015 s just-one-mega: 479.5 ms ± 3.9 ms 364.1 ms ± 7.0 ms Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-07-20t0000: fix test if run with TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORYLibravatar Patrick Steinhardt2-2/+14
Testcases in t0000 are quite special given that they many of them run nested testcases to verify that testing functionality itself works as expected. These nested testcases are realized by writing a new ad-hoc test script which again sources test-lib.sh, where the new script is created in a nested subdirectory located beneath the current trash directory. We then execute the new test script with the nested subdirectory as current working directory and explicitly re-export TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to point to that directory. While this works as expected in the general case, it falls apart when the developer has TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY explicitly defined either via the environment or via config.mak and runs "make test". In that case, test-lib.sh will clobber the value that we've just carefully set up to instead contain what the developer has defined. As a result, the TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY continues to point at the root output directory, not at the nested one. This issue causes breakage in the 'test_atexit is run' test case: the nested test case writes files into "../../", which is assumed to be the parent's trash directory. But because TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY already points to to the root output directory, we instead end up writing those files outside of the output directory. The parent test case will then try to check whether those files still exist in its own trash directory, which thus must fail now. Fix the issue by adding a new TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_OVERRIDE variable. If set, then we'll always override the TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY with its value after sourcing GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS.

2021-07-19multi-pack-index: fix potential segfault without sub-commandLibravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+5
Since cd57bc41bb (builtin/multi-pack-index.c: display usage on unrecognized command, 2021-03-30) we have used a "usage" label to avoid having two separate callers of usage_with_options (one when no arguments are given, and another for unrecognized sub-commands). But the first caller has been broken since cd57bc41bb, since it will happily jump to usage without arguments, and then pass argv[0] to the "unrecognized subcommand" error. Many compilers will save us from a segfault here, but the end result is ugly, since it mentions an unrecognized subcommand when we didn't even pass one, and (on GCC) includes "(null)" in its output. Move the "usage" label down past the error about unrecognized subcommands so that it is only triggered when it should be. While we're at it, bulk up our test coverage in this area, too.

2021-07-19t0000: clear GIT_SKIP_TESTS before running sub-testsLibravatar Jeff King1-10/+29
In t0000, we run several fake "sub-test" suites to verify the behavior of the test suite. But because we don't clear the parent environment completely, the sub-tests can be fooled by variables meant for the parent. For example: GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t1234 ./t0000-basic.sh fails when a sub-test expects its fake t1234 to actually run. This particular pattern is unlikely in practice; we're running a single script, and there is no t1234 in the real test suite anyway (not yet, at least). A more real-world example is: GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t[^0]* make test to run only the t0* tests. The fix is conceptually simple: we should clear the GIT_SKIP_TESTS variable when running the sub-tests, because its contents (if any) will be meant for the main test suite. This is easy to do centrally in our sub-test helper. But there's a catch: some of our tests do set GIT_SKIP_TESTS intentionally to test the feature. We need to allow them to continue to set it, but clear it for all the other tests. And the sub-test helper can't tell if the GIT_SKIP_TESTS it sees is from a test or not. We can handle this by adding a new option to the helper to let callers specify the skip list. I considered adding a more general "--eval" option to let callers set up the env for the sub-test however they like. That would cover this case and possible future ones. But the quoting gets awkward for the callers (since we're now 2 layers deep in evals!), so I went with the simpler more specific solution.

2021-07-19test-lib-functions: use test-tool for [de]packetize()Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason5-34/+24
The shell+perl "[de]packetize()" helper functions were added in 4414a150025 (t/lib-git-daemon: add network-protocol helpers, 2018-01-24), and around the same time we added the "pkt-line" helper in 74e70029615 (test-pkt-line: introduce a packet-line test helper, 2018-03-14). For some reason it seems we've mostly used the shell+perl version instead of the helper since then. There were discussions around 88124ab2636 (test-lib-functions: make packetize() more efficient, 2020-03-27) and cacae4329fa (test-lib-functions: simplify packetize() stdin code, 2020-03-29) to improve them and make them more efficient. There was one good reason to do so, we needed an equivalent of "test-tool pkt-line pack", but that command wasn't capable of handling input with "\n" (a feature) or "\0" (just because it happens to be printf-based under the hood). Let's add a "pkt-line-raw" helper for that, and expose is at a packetize_raw() to go with the existing packetize() on the shell level, this gives us the smallest amount of change to the tests themselves.
