2017-03-01read-cache: regenerate shared index if necessaryLibravatar Christian Couder1-0/+1
When writing a new split-index and there is a big number of cache entries in the split-index compared to the shared index, it is a good idea to regenerate the shared index. By default when the ratio reaches 20%, we will push back all the entries from the split-index into a new shared index file instead of just creating a new split-index file. The threshold can be configured using the "splitIndex.maxPercentChange" config variable. We need to adjust the existing tests in t1700 by setting "splitIndex.maxPercentChange" to 100 at the beginning of t1700, as the existing tests are assuming that the shared index is regenerated only when `git update-index --split-index` is used.

A recent update to receive-pack to make it easier to drop garbage objects made it clear that GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES cannot have a pathname with a colon in it (no surprise!), and this in turn made it impossible to push into a repository at such a path.

Many tests want to run a command outside of any git repo; with the nongit() function this is now a one-liner. It saves a few lines, but more importantly, it's immediately obvious what the code is trying to accomplish. This doesn't convert every such case in the test suite; it just covers those that want to do a one-off command. Other cases, such as the ones in t4035, are part of a larger scheme of outside-repo files, and it's less confusing for them to stay consistent with the surrounding tests.

However, --stdin mode will write the result to the object database, which does not make sense outside of a repository.

To perform the test case on Windows in a way that corresponds to the POSIX version, inject the semicolon in a directory name. Typically, an absolute POSIX style path, such as the one in $PWD, is translated into a Windows style path by bash when it invokes git.exe.

2016-12-12tmp-objdir: quote paths we add to alternatesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+19
Commit 722ff7f87 (receive-pack: quarantine objects until pre-receive accepts, 2016-10-03) regressed pushes to repositories with colon (or semi-colon in Windows in them) because it adds the repository's main object directory to GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES. The receiver interprets the colon as a delimiter, not as part of the path, and index-pack is unable to find objects which it needs to resolve deltas. The previous commit introduced a quoting mechanism for the alternates list; let's use it here to cover this case. We'll avoid quoting when we can, though. This alternate setup is also used when calling hooks, so it's possible that the user may call older git implementations which don't understand the quoting mechanism. By quoting only when necessary, this setup will continue to work unless the user _also_ has a repository whose path contains the delimiter.

2016-12-12alternates: accept double-quoted pathsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+18
We read lists of alternates from objects/info/alternates files (delimited by newline), as well as from the GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES environment variable (delimited by colon or semi-colon, depending on the platform). There's no mechanism for quoting the delimiters, so it's impossible to specify an alternate path that contains a colon in the environment, or one that contains a newline in a file. We've lived with that restriction for ages because both alternates and filenames with colons are relatively rare, and it's only a problem when the two meet. But since 722ff7f87 (receive-pack: quarantine objects until pre-receive accepts, 2016-10-03), which builds on the alternates system, every push causes the receiver to set GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES internally. It would be convenient to have some way to quote the delimiter so that we can represent arbitrary paths. The simplest thing would be an escape character before a quoted delimiter (e.g., "\:" as a literal colon). But that creates a backwards compatibility problem: any path which uses that escape character is now broken, and we've just shifted the problem. We could choose an unlikely escape character (e.g., something from the non-printable ASCII range), but that's awkward to use. Instead, let's treat names as unquoted unless they begin with a double-quote, in which case they are interpreted via our usual C-stylke quoting rules. This also breaks backwards-compatibility, but in a smaller way: it only matters if your file has a double-quote as the very _first_ character in the path (whereas an escape character is a problem anywhere in the path). It's also consistent with many other parts of git, which accept either a bare pathname or a double-quoted one, and the sender can choose to quote or not as required.

In 31224cbdc7 (clone: recursive and reference option triggers submodule alternates, 2016-08-17) a mechanism was added to have submodules referenced. It did not address _nested_ submodules, however. This patch makes all not just the root repository, but also all submodules (recursively) have submodule.alternateLocation and submodule.alternateErrorStrategy configured, making Git search for possible alternates for nested submodules as well. As submodule's alternate target does not end in .git/objects (rather .git/modules/qqqqqq/objects), this alternate target path restriction for in add_possible_reference_from_superproject relates from "*.git/objects" to just */objects".

2016-12-11rebase: add --quit to cleanup rebase, leave everything else untouchedLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+24
There are occasions when you decide to abort an in-progress rebase and move on to do something else but you forget to do "git rebase --abort" first. Or the rebase has been in progress for so long you forgot about it. By the time you realize that (e.g. by starting another rebase) it's already too late to retrace your steps. The solution is normally rm -r .git/<some rebase dir> and continue with your life. But there could be two different directories for <some rebase dir> (and it obviously requires some knowledge of how rebase works), and the ".git" part could be much longer if you are not at top-dir, or in a linked worktree. And "rm -r" is very dangerous to do in .git, a mistake in there could destroy object database or other important data. Provide "git rebase --quit" for this use case, mimicking a precedent that is "git cherry-pick --quit".

In contrast to "git am --abort", a sequencer abort did not check whether the current HEAD is the one that is expected. This can lead to loss of work (when not spotted and resolved using reflog before the garbage collector chimes in). This behavior is now changed by mimicking "git am --abort". The abortion is done but HEAD is not changed when the current HEAD is not the expected HEAD. A new file "sequencer/abort-safety" is added to save the expected HEAD. The new behavior is only active when --abort is invoked on multiple picks. The problem does not occur for the single-pick case because it is handled differently.

2016-12-08diff: handle --no-abbrev in no-index caseLibravatar Jack Bates7-0/+34
There are two different places where the --no-abbrev option is parsed, and two different places where SHA-1s are abbreviated. We normally parse --no-abbrev with setup_revisions(), but in the no-index case, "git diff" calls diff_opt_parse() directly, and diff_opt_parse() didn't handle --no-abbrev until now. (It did handle --abbrev, however.) We normally abbreviate SHA-1s with find_unique_abbrev(), but commit 4f03666 ("diff: handle sha1 abbreviations outside of repository, 2016-10-20) recently introduced a special case when you run "git diff" outside of a repository. setup_revisions() does also call diff_opt_parse(), but not for --abbrev or --no-abbrev, which it handles itself. setup_revisions() sets rev_info->abbrev, and later copies that to diff_options->abbrev. It handles --no-abbrev by setting abbrev to zero. (This change doesn't touch that.) Setting abbrev to zero was broken in the outside-of-a-repository special case, which until now resulted in a truly zero-length SHA-1, rather than taking zero to mean do not abbreviate. The only way to trigger this bug, however, was by running "git diff --raw" without either the --abbrev or --no-abbrev options, because 1) without --raw it doesn't respect abbrev (which is bizarre, but has been that way forever), 2) we silently clamp --abbrev=0 to MINIMUM_ABBREV, and 3) --no-abbrev wasn't handled until now. The outside-of-a-repository case is one of three no-index cases. The other two are when one of the files you're comparing is outside of the repository you're in, and the --no-index option.

2016-12-08difftool: fix dir-diff index creation when in a subdirectoryLibravatar David Aguilar1-3/+41
9ec26e7977 (difftool: fix argument handling in subdirs, 2016-07-18) corrected how path arguments are handled in a subdirectory, but it introduced a regression in how entries outside of the subdirectory are handled by dir-diff. When preparing the right-side of the diff we only include the changed paths in the temporary area. The left side of the diff is constructed from a temporary index that is built from the same set of changed files, but it was being constructed from within the subdirectory. This is a problem because the indexed paths are toplevel-relative, and thus they were not getting added to the index. Teach difftool to chdir to the toplevel of the repository before preparing its temporary indexes. This ensures that all of the toplevel-relative paths are valid. Add test cases to more thoroughly exercise this scenario. Reported-by: Frank Becker <fb@mooflu.com> Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-12-07hold_locked_index(): align error handling with hold_lockfile_for_update()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Callers of the hold_locked_index() function pass 0 when they want to prepare to write a new version of the index file without wishing to die or emit an error message when the request fails (e.g. somebody else already held the lock), and pass 1 when they want the call to die upon failure. This option is called LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR by the underlying lockfile API, and the hold_locked_index() function translates the paramter to LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR when calling the hold_lock_file_for_update(). Replace these hardcoded '1' with LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR and stop translating. Callers other than the ones that are replaced with this change pass '0' to the function; no behaviour change is intended with this patch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> --- Among the callers of hold_locked_index() that passes 0: - diff.c::refresh_index_quietly() at the end of "git diff" is an opportunistic update; it leaks the lockfile structure but it is just before the program exits and nobody should care. - builtin/describe.c::cmd_describe(), builtin/commit.c::cmd_status(), sequencer.c::read_and_refresh_cache() are all opportunistic updates and they are OK. - builtin/update-index.c::cmd_update_index() takes a lock upfront but we may end up not needing to update the index (i.e. the entries may be fully up-to-date), in which case we do not need to issue an error upon failure to acquire the lock. We do diagnose and die if we indeed need to update, so it is OK. - wt-status.c::require_clean_work_tree() IS BUGGY. It asks silence, does not check the returned value. Compare with callsites like cmd_describe() and cmd_status() to notice that it is wrong to call update_index_if_able() unconditionally.
