Every test in this file, except one, is marked with the PIPE prereq. However, that lone test ('set up svn repo'), only performs some setup work and checks whether the following test should be executed (by setting an additional SVNREPO prerequisite).

2017-09-15test-lib: don't use ulimit in test prerequisites on cygwinLibravatar Ramsay Jones4-5/+12
On cygwin (and MinGW), the 'ulimit' built-in bash command does not have the desired effect of limiting the resources of new processes, at least for the stack and file descriptors. However, it always returns success and leads to several test prerequisites being erroneously set to true. Add a check for cygwin and MinGW to the prerequisite expressions, using a 'test_have_prereq !MINGW,!CYGWIN' clause, to guard against using ulimit. This affects the prerequisite expressions for the ULIMIT_STACK_SIZE, CMDLINE_LIMIT and ULIMIT_FILE_DESCRIPTORS prerequisites.

2017-09-14avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) != len" patternLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The return value of write_in_full() is either "-1", or the requested number of bytes[1]. If we make a partial write before seeing an error, we still return -1, not a partial value. This goes back to f6aa66cb95 (write_in_full: really write in full or return error on disk full., 2007-01-11). So checking anything except "was the return value negative" is pointless. And there are a couple of reasons not to do so: 1. It can do a funny signed/unsigned comparison. If your "len" is signed (e.g., a size_t) then the compiler will promote the "-1" to its unsigned variant. This works out for "!= len" (unless you really were trying to write the maximum size_t bytes), but is a bug if you check "< len" (an example of which was fixed recently in config.c). We should avoid promoting the mental model that you need to check the length at all, so that new sites are not tempted to copy us. 2. Checking for a negative value is shorter to type, especially when the length is an expression. 3. Linus says so. In d34cf19b89 (Clean up write_in_full() users, 2007-01-11), right after the write_in_full() semantics were changed, he wrote: I really wish every "write_in_full()" user would just check against "<0" now, but this fixes the nasty and stupid ones. Appeals to authority aside, this makes it clear that writing it this way does not have an intentional benefit. It's a historical curiosity that we never bothered to clean up (and which was undoubtedly cargo-culted into new sites). So let's convert these obviously-correct cases (this includes write_str_in_full(), which is just a wrapper for write_in_full()). [1] A careful reader may notice there is one way that write_in_full() can return a different value. If we ask write() to write N bytes and get a return value that is _larger_ than N, we could return a larger total. But besides the fact that this would imply a totally broken version of write(), it would already invoke undefined behavior. Our internal remaining counter is an unsigned size_t, which means that subtracting too many byte will wrap it around to a very large number. So we'll instantly begin reading off the end of the buffer, trying to write gigabytes (or petabytes) of data.

2017-09-14archive: don't add empty directories to archivesLibravatar René Scharfe3-4/+4
While git doesn't track empty directories, git archive can be tricked into putting some into archives. One way is to construct an empty tree object, as t5004 does. While that is supported by the object database, it can't be represented in the index and thus it's unlikely to occur in the wild. Another way is using the literal name of a directory in an exclude pathspec -- its contents are are excluded, but the directory stub is included. That's inconsistent: exclude pathspecs containing wildcards don't leave empty directories in the archive. Yet another way is have a few levels of nested subdirectories (e.g. d1/d2/d3/file1) and ignoring the entries at the leaves (e.g. file1). The directories with the ignored content are ignored as well (e.g. d3), but their empty parents are included (e.g. d2). As empty directories are not supported by git, they should also not be written into archives. If an empty directory is really needed then it can be tracked and archived by placing an empty .gitignore file in it. There already is a mechanism in place for suppressing empty directories. When read_tree_recursive() encounters a directory excluded by a pathspec then it enters it anyway because it might contain included entries. It calls the callback function before it is able to decide if the directory is actually needed. For that reason git archive adds directories to a queue and writes entries for them only when it encounters the first child item -- but currently only if pathspecs with wildcards are used. Queue *all* directories, no matter if there even are pathspecs present. This prevents git archive from writing entries for empty directories in all cases.

2017-09-14push, fetch: error out for submodule entries not pointing to commitsLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+10
The check_has_commit helper uses resolves a submodule entry to a commit, when validating its existence. As a side effect this means tolerates a submodule entry pointing to a tag, which is not a valid submodule entry that git commands would know how to cope with. Tighten the check to require an actual commit, not a tag pointing to a commit. Also improve the error handling when a submodule entry points to non-commit (e.g., a blob) to error out instead of warning and pretending the pointed to object doesn't exist.

2017-09-09files_ref_store: use a transaction to update packed refsLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-2/+2
When processing a `files_ref_store` transaction, it is sometimes necessary to delete some references from the "packed-refs" file. Do that using a reference transaction conducted against the `packed_ref_store`. This change further decouples `files_ref_store` from `packed_ref_store`. It also fixes multiple problems, including the two revealed by test cases added in the previous commit. First, the old code didn't obtain the `packed-refs` lock until `files_transaction_finish()`. This means that a failure to acquire the `packed-refs` lock (e.g., due to contention with another process) wasn't detected until it was too late (problems like this are supposed to be detected in the "prepare" phase). The new code acquires the `packed-refs` lock in `files_transaction_prepare()`, the same stage of the processing when the loose reference locks are being acquired, removing another reason why the "prepare" phase might succeed and the "finish" phase might nevertheless fail. Second, the old code deleted the loose version of a reference before deleting any packed version of the same reference. This left a moment when another process might think that the packed version of the reference is current, which is incorrect. (Even worse, the packed version of the reference can be arbitrarily old, and might even point at an object that has since been garbage-collected.) Third, if a reference deletion fails to acquire the `packed-refs` lock altogether, then the old code might leave the repository in the incorrect state (possibly corrupt) described in the previous paragraph. Now we activate the new "packed-refs" file (sans any references that are being deleted) *before* deleting the corresponding loose references. But we hold the "packed-refs" lock until after the loose references have been finalized, thus preventing a simultaneous "pack-refs" process from packing the loose version of the reference in the time gap, which would otherwise defeat our attempt to delete it.

2017-09-09t1404: demonstrate two problems with reference transactionsLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+73
Currently, a loose reference is deleted even before locking the `packed-refs` file, let alone deleting any packed version of the reference. This leads to two problems, demonstrated by two new tests: * While a reference is being deleted, other processes might see the old, packed value of the reference for a moment before the packed version is deleted. Normally this would be hard to observe, but we can prolong the window by locking the `packed-refs` file externally before running `update-ref`, then unlocking it before `update-ref`'s attempt to acquire the lock times out. * If the `packed-refs` file is locked so long that `update-ref` fails to lock it, then the reference can be left permanently in the incorrect state described in the previous point. In a moment, both problems will be fixed. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
