2012-09-08attr: "binary" attribute should choose built-in "binary" merge driverLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The built-in "binary" attribute macro expands to "-diff -text", so that textual diff is not produced, and the contents will not go through any CR/LF conversion ever. During a merge, it should also choose the "binary" low-level merge driver, but it didn't. Make it expand to "-diff -merge -text". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-09-08merge: teach -Xours/-Xtheirs to binary ll-merge driverLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+13
The (discouraged) -Xours/-Xtheirs modes of merge are supposed to give a quick and dirty way to come up with a random mixture of cleanly merged parts and punted conflict resolution to take contents from one side in conflicting parts. These options however were only passed down to the low level merge driver for text. Teach the built-in binary merge driver to notice them as well. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-03-09fast-import: don't allow 'ls' of path with empty componentsLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+39
As the fast-import manual explains: The value of <path> must be in canonical form. That is it must not: . contain an empty directory component (e.g. foo//bar is invalid), . end with a directory separator (e.g. foo/ is invalid), . start with a directory separator (e.g. /foo is invalid), Unfortunately the "ls" command accepts these invalid syntaxes and responds by declaring that the indicated path is missing. This is too subtle and causes importers to silently misbehave; better to error out so the operator knows what's happening. The C, R, and M commands already error out for such paths.

2012-03-02t0300: work around bug in dash 0.5.6Libravatar Michael J Gruber1-1/+4
The construct 'while IFS== read' makes dash 0.5.6 execute read without changing IFS, which results in test breakages all over the place in t0300. Neither dash 0.5.5.1 and older nor dash 0.5.7 and newer are affected: The problem was introduded resp. fixed by the commits 55c46b7 ([BUILTIN] Honor tab as IFS whitespace when splitting fields in readcmd, 2009-08-11) 1d806ac ([VAR] Do not poplocalvars prematurely on regular utilities, 2010-05-27) in http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/dash/dash.git Putting 'IFS==' before that line makes all versions of dash work. This looks like a dash bug, not a misinterpretation of the standard. However, it's worth working around for two reasons. One, this version of dash was released in Fedora 14-16, so the bug is found in the wild. And two, at least one other shell, Solaris /bin/sh, choked on this by persisting IFS after the read invocation. That is not a shell we usually care about, and I think this use of IFS is acceptable by POSIX (which allows other behavior near "special builtins", but "read" is not one of those). But it seems that this may be a subtle, not-well-tested case for some shells. Given that the workaround is so simple, it's worth just being defensive.

2012-03-01bundle: keep around names passed to add_pending_object()Libravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+15
The 'name' field passed to add_pending_object() is used to later deduplicate in object_array_remove_duplicates(). git-bundle had a bug in this area since 18449ab (git-bundle: avoid packing objects which are in the prerequisites, 2007-03-08): it passed the name of each boundary object in a static buffer. In other words, all that object_array_remove_duplicates() saw was the name of the *last* added boundary object. The recent switch to a strbuf in bc2fed4 (bundle: use a strbuf to scan the log for boundary commits, 2012-02-22) made this slightly worse: we now free the buffer at the end, so it is not even guaranteed that it still points into addressable memory by the time object_array_remove_ duplicates looks at it. On the plus side however, it was now detectable by valgrind. The fix is easy: pass a copy of the string to add_pending_object.

2012-03-01diff -p: squelch "diff --git" header for stat-dirty pathsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+1
The plumbing "diff" commands look at the working tree files without refreshing the index themselves for performance reasons (the calling script is expected to do that upfront just once, before calling one or more of them). In the early days of git, they showed the "diff --git" header before they actually ask the xdiff machinery to produce patches, and ended up showing only these headers if the real contents are the same and the difference they noticed was only because the stat info cached in the index did not match that of the working tree. It was too late for the implementation to take the header that it already emitted back. But 3e97c7c (No diff -b/-w output for all-whitespace changes, 2009-11-19) introduced necessary logic to keep the meta-information headers in a strbuf and delay their output until the xdiff machinery noticed actual changes. This was primarily in order to generate patches that ignore whitespaces. When operating under "-w" mode, we wouldn't know if the header is needed until we actually look at the resulting patch, so it was a sensible thing to do, but we did not realize that the same reasoning applies to stat-dirty paths. Later, 296c6bb (diff: fix "git show -C -C" output when renaming a binary file, 2010-05-26) generalized this machinery and added must_show_header toggle. This is turned on when the header must be shown even when there is no patch to be produced, e.g. only the mode was changed, or the path was renamed, without changing the contents. However, when it did so, it still kept the special case for the "-w" mode, which meant that the plumbing would keep showing these phantom changes. This corrects this historical inconsistency by allowing the plumbing to omit paths that are only stat-dirty from its output in the same way as it handles whitespace only changes under "-w" option. The change in the behaviour can be seen in the updated test. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-03-01t4011: illustrate "diff-index -p" on stat-dirty pathsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+39
The plumbing that looks at the working tree, i.e. "diff-index" and "diff-files", always emit the "diff --git a/path b/path" header lines without anything else for paths that are only stat-dirty (i.e. different only because the cached stat information in the index no longer matches that of the working tree, but the real contents are the same), when these commands are run with "-p" option to produce patches. Illustrate this current behaviour. Also demonstrate that with the "-w" option, we (correctly) hold off showing a "diff --git" header until actual differences have been found. This also suppresses the header for merely stat-dirty files, which is inconsistent. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Match the style to more modern test scripts, namely: - The first line of each test has prereq, title and opening sq for the script body. This makes the test shorter while reducing the need for backslashes. - Be prepared for the case in which the previous test may have failed. If a test wants to start from not having "frotz" that the previous test may have created, write "rm -f frotz", not "rm frotz". - Prepare the expected output inside your own test. - The order of comparison to check the result is "diff expected actual", so that the output will show how the output from the git you just broke is different from what is expected. - Write no SP between redirection '>' (or '<' for that matter) and the filename.

When using regexp search ('sr' parameter / $search_use_regexp variable is true), check first that regexp is valid. Without this patch we would get an error from Perl during search (if searching is performed by gitweb), or highlighting matches substring (if applicable), if user provided invalid regexp... which means broken HTML, with error page (including HTTP headers) generated after gitweb already produced some output.

2012-02-24do not stream large files to pack when filters are in useLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+86
Because git's object format requires us to specify the number of bytes in the object in its header, we must know the size before streaming a blob into the object database. This is not a problem when adding a regular file, as we can get the size from stat(). However, when filters are in use (such as autocrlf, or the ident, filter, or eol gitattributes), we have no idea what the ultimate size will be. The current code just punts on the whole issue and ignores filter configuration entirely for files larger than core.bigfilethreshold. This can generate confusing results if you use filters for large binary files, as the filter will suddenly stop working as the file goes over a certain size. Rather than try to handle unknown input sizes with streaming, this patch just turns off the streaming optimization when filters are in use. This has a slight performance regression in a very specific case: if you have autocrlf on, but no gitattributes, a large binary file will avoid the streaming code path because we don't know beforehand whether it will need conversion or not. But if you are handling large binary files, you should be marking them as such via attributes (or at least not using autocrlf, and instead marking your text files as such). And the flip side is that if you have a large _non_-binary file, there is a correctness improvement; before we did not apply the conversion at all. The first half of the new t1051 script covers these failures on input. The second half tests the matching output code paths. These already work correctly, and do not need any adjustment.

2012-02-23bundle: use a strbuf to scan the log for boundary commitsLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+16
The first part of the bundle header contains the boundary commits, and could be approximated by # v2 git bundle $(git rev-list --pretty=oneline --boundary <ARGS> | grep ^-) git-bundle actually spawns exactly this rev-list invocation, and does the grepping internally. There was a subtle bug in the latter step: it used fgets() with a 1024-byte buffer. If the user has sufficiently long subjects (e.g., by not adhering to the git oneline-subject convention in the first place), the 'oneline' format can easily overflow the buffer. fgets() then returns the rest of the line in the next call(s). If one of these remaining parts started with '-', git-bundle would mistakenly insert it into the bundle thinking it was a boundary commit. Fix it by using strbuf_getwholeline() instead, which handles arbitrary line lengths correctly. Note that on the receiving side in parse_bundle_header() we were already using strbuf_getwholeline_fd(), so that part is safe.

Commit ff7f218 (gitweb: Fix file links in "grep" search, 2012-01-05), added $file_href variable, to reduce duplication and have the fix applied in single place. Unfortunately it made variable defined inside the loop, not taking into account the fact that $file_href was set only if file changed. Therefore for files with multiple matches $file_href was undefined for second and subsequent matches. Fix this bug by moving $file_href declaration outside loop. Adds tests for almost all forms of sarch in gitweb, which were missing from testuite. Note that it only tests if there are no warnings, and it doesn't check that gitweb finds what it should find.

2012-02-17gitweb: Fix "heads" view when there is no current branchLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-0/+9
In a repository whose HEAD points to an unborn branch with no commits, "heads" view and "summary" view (which shows what is shown in "heads" view) compared the object names of commits at the tip of branches with the output from "git rev-parse HEAD", which caused comparison of a string with undef and resulted in a warning in the server log. This can happen if non-bare repository (with default 'master' branch) is updated not via committing but by other means like push to it, or Gerrit. It can happen also just after running "git checkout --orphan <new branch>" but before creating any new commit on this branch. Rewrite the comparison so that it also works when $head points at nothing; in such a case, no branch can be "the current branch", add a test for it. While at it, rename local variable $head to $head_at, as it points to current commit rather than current branch name (HEAD contents). The code still incorrectly shows all branches that point at the same commit as what HEAD points as "the current branch", even when HEAD is detached.
