2014-05-16request-pull: resurrect for-linus -> tags/for-linus DWIMLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+7
Older versions of Git before v1.7.10 did not DWIM $ git pull $URL for-linus to the tag "tags/for-linus" and the users were required to say $ git pull $URL tags/for-linus instead. Because newer versions of Git works either way, request-pull used to show tags/for-linus when asked $ git request-pull origin/master $URL for-linus The recent updates broke this and in the output we see "for-linus" without the "tags/" prefix. As v1.7.10 is more than 2 years old, this should matter very little in practice, but resurrecting it is very simple. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-04-22git-prompt.sh: don't put unsanitized branch names in $PS1Libravatar Richard Hansen1-22/+22
Both bash and zsh subject the value of PS1 to parameter expansion, command substitution, and arithmetic expansion. Rather than include the raw, unescaped branch name in PS1 when running in two- or three-argument mode, construct PS1 to reference a variable that holds the branch name. Because the shells do not recursively expand, this avoids arbitrary code execution by specially-crafted branch names such as '$(IFS=_;cmd=sudo_rm_-rf_/;$cmd)'.

2014-04-19Git 2.0: git svn: Set default --prefix='origin/' if --prefix is not givenLibravatar Johan Herland18-126/+126
git-svn by default puts its Subversion-tracking refs directly in refs/remotes/*. This runs counter to Git's convention of using refs/remotes/$remote/* for storing remote-tracking branches. Furthermore, combining git-svn with regular git remotes run the risk of clobbering refs under refs/remotes (e.g. if you have a git remote called "tags" with a "v1" branch, it will overlap with the git-svn's tracking branch for the "v1" tag from Subversion. Even though the git-svn refs stored in refs/remotes/* are not "proper" remote-tracking branches (since they are not covered by a proper git remote's refspec), they clearly represent a similar concept, and would benefit from following the same convention. For example, if git-svn tracks Subversion branch "foo" at refs/remotes/foo, and you create a local branch refs/heads/foo to add some commits to be pushed back to Subversion (using "git svn dcommit), then it is clearly unhelpful of Git to throw warning: refname 'foo' is ambiguous. every time you checkout, rebase, or otherwise interact with the branch. The existing workaround for this is to supply the --prefix=quux/ to git svn init/clone, so that git-svn's tracking branches end up in refs/remotes/quux/* instead of refs/remotes/*. However, encouraging users to specify --prefix to work around a design flaw in git-svn is suboptimal, and not a long term solution to the problem. Instead, git-svn should default to use a non-empty prefix that saves unsuspecting users from the inconveniences described above. This patch will only affect newly created git-svn setups, as the --prefix option only applies to git svn init (and git svn clone). Existing git-svn setups will continue with their existing (lack of) prefix. Also, if anyone somehow prefers git-svn's old layout, they can recreate that by explicitly passing an empty prefix (--prefix "") on the git svn init/clone command line. The patch changes the default value for --prefix from "" to "origin/", updates the git-svn manual page, and fixes the fallout in the git-svn testcases. (Note that this patch might be easier to review using the --word-diff and --word-diff-regex=. diff options.)

2014-04-14transport-helper: fix sync issue on crashesLibravatar Felipe Contreras1-1/+19
When a remote helper crashes while pushing we should revert back to the state before the push, however, it's possible that `git fast-export` already finished its job, and therefore has exported the marks already. This creates a synchronization problem because from that moment on `git fast-{import,export}` will have marks that the remote helper is not aware of and all further commands fail (if those marks are referenced). The fix is to tell `git fast-export` to export to a temporary file, and only after the remote helper has finishes successfully, move to the final destination.

2014-04-11test: fix t5560 on FreeBSDLibravatar Kyle J. McKay1-2/+2
Since fd0a8c2e (first appearing in v1.7.0), the t/t5560-http-backend-noserver.sh test has used a backslash escape inside a ${} expansion in order to specify a literal '?' character. Unfortunately the FreeBSD /bin/sh does not interpret this correctly. In a POSIX compliant shell, the following: x='one?two?three' echo "${x#*\?}" Would be expected to produce this: two?three When using the FreeBSD /bin/sh instead you get this: one?two?three In fact the FreeBSD /bin/sh treats the backslash as a literal character to match so that this: y='one\two\three' echo "${y#*\?}" Produces this unexpected value: wo\three In this case the backslash is not only treated literally, it also fails to defeat the special meaning of the '?' character. Instead, we can use the [...] construct to defeat the special meaning of the '?' character and match it exactly in a way that works for the FreeBSD /bin/sh as well as other POSIX /bin/sh implementations. Changing the example like so: x='one?two?three' echo "${x#*[?]}" Produces the expected output using the FreeBSD /bin/sh. Therefore, change the use of \? to [?] in order to be compatible with the FreeBSD /bin/sh which allows t/t5560-http-backend-noserver.sh to pass on FreeBSD again. Signed-off-by: Kyle J.

Since 11502468 and 04c1ee57 (both first appearing in v1.8.5), the t7001-mv test has used "cp -a" to perform a copy in several of the tests. However, the "-a" option is not required for a POSIX cp utility and some platforms' cp utilities do not support it. The POSIX equivalent of -a is -R -P -p. Change "cp -a" to "cp -R -P -p" so that the t7001-mv test works on systems with a cp utility that only implements the POSIX required set of options and not the "-a" option. Signed-off-by: Kyle J.

2014-04-04add `ignore_missing_links` mode to revwalkLibravatar Vicent Marti1-0/+31
When pack-objects is computing the reachability bitmap to serve a fetch request, it can erroneously die() if some of the UNINTERESTING objects are not present. Upload-pack throws away HAVE lines from the client for objects we do not have, but we may have a tip object without all of its ancestors (e.g., if the tip is no longer reachable and was new enough to survive a `git prune`, but some of its reachable objects did get pruned). In the non-bitmap case, we do a revision walk with the HAVE objects marked as UNINTERESTING. The revision walker explicitly ignores errors in accessing UNINTERESTING commits to handle this case (and we do not bother looking at UNINTERESTING trees or blobs at all). When we have bitmaps, however, the process is quite different. The bitmap index for a pack-objects run is calculated in two separate steps: First, we perform an extensive walk from all the HAVEs to find the full set of objects reachable from them. This walk is usually optimized away because we are expected to hit an object with a bitmap during the traversal, which allows us to terminate early. Secondly, we perform an extensive walk from all the WANTs, which usually also terminates early because we hit a commit with an existing bitmap. Once we have the resulting bitmaps from the two walks, we AND-NOT them together to obtain the resulting set of objects we need to pack. When we are walking the HAVE objects, the revision walker does not know that we are walking it only to mark the results as uninteresting. We strip out the UNINTERESTING flag, because those objects _are_ interesting to us during the first walk. We want to keep going to get a complete set of reachable objects if we can. We need some way to tell the revision walker that it's OK to silently truncate the HAVE walk, just like it does for the UNINTERESTING case. This patch introduces a new `ignore_missing_links` flag to the `rev_info` struct, which we set only for the HAVE walk. It also adds tests to cover UNINTERESTING objects missing from several positions: a missing blob, a missing tree, and a missing parent commit. The missing blob already worked (as we do not care about its contents at all), but the other two cases caused us to die(). Note that there are a few cases we do not need to test: 1. We do not need to test a missing tree, with the blob still present. Without the tree that refers to it, we would not know that the blob is relevant to our walk. 2. We do not need to test a tip commit that is missing. Upload-pack omits these for us (and in fact, we complain even in the non-bitmap case if it fails to do so).

One of the tests in t4212 checks our behavior when we feed gmtime a date so far in the future that it gives up and returns NULL. Some implementations, like AIX, may actually just provide us a bogus result instead. It's not worth it for us to come up with heuristics that guess whether the return value is sensible or not. On good platforms where gmtime reports the problem to us with NULL, we will print the epoch value. On bad platforms, we will print garbage. But our test should be written for the lowest common denominator so that it passes everywhere.

2014-03-24update-index: teach --cacheinfo a new syntax "mode,sha1,path"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+13
The "--cacheinfo" option is unusual in that it takes three option parameters. An option with an optional parameter is bad enough. An option with multiple parameters is simply insane. Introduce a new syntax that takes these three things concatenated together with a comma, which makes the command line syntax more uniform across subcommands, while retaining the traditional syntax for backward compatiblity. If we were designing the "update-index" subcommand from scratch today, it may probably have made sense to make this option (and possibly others) a command mode option that does not take any option parameter (hence no need for arg-help). But we do not live in such an ideal world, and as far as I can tell, the command still supports (and must support) mixed command modes in a single invocation, e.g. $ git update-index path1 --add path2 \ --cacheinfo 100644 $(git hash-object --stdin -w <path3) path3 \ path4 must make sure path1 is already in the index and update all of these four paths. So this is probably as far as we can go to fix this issue without risking to break people's existing scripts. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
