Currently, it will only do a checkout if the sha1 registered in the containing repository doesn't match the HEAD of the submodule, regardless of whether the submodule is dirty. As discussed on the mailing list, the '--force' flag is a strong indicator that the state of the submodule is suspect, and should be reset to HEAD.

2012-08-17stash: invoke rerere in case of conflictLibravatar Phil Hord1-1/+1
"stash apply" directly calls a backend merge function which does not automatically invoke rerere. This confuses mergetool when leftover rerere state is left behind from previous merges. Invoke rerere explicitly when we encounter a conflict during stash apply. This turns the test introduced by the previous commit to succeed.

2012-08-17test: git-stash conflict sets up rerereLibravatar Phil Hord1-0/+38
Add a test to make sure that a conflicted "stash apply" invokes rerere to record the conflicts and resolve the the files it can (the current code doesn't, so the test is marked as failing). Without correct state recorded for rerere, mergetool may be confused, causing it to think no files have conflicts even though they do. This condition is not verified by this test since a subsequent commit will change the behavior to enable rerere for stash conflicts. Also, the next test expected us to finish up with a reset, which is impossible to do if we fail (as we must) and it's an unreasonable expectation anyway. Begin the next test with a reset of its own instead. Signed-off-by: Phil Hord <hordp@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-08-14Let submodule command exit with error status if path does not existLibravatar Heiko Voigt1-4/+22
Various subcommands of the "git submodule" command exited with 0 status even though the path given by the user did not exist. The reason behind that was that they all pipe the output of module_list into the while loop which then does the action on the paths specified by the commandline. Since the exit code of the command on the upstream side of the pipe is ignored by the shell, the status code of "ls-files --error-unmatch" nor "module_list" was not propagated. In case ls-files returns with an error code, we write a special string that is not possible in non error situations, and no other output, so that the downstream can detect the error and die with an error code. The error message that there is an unmatched pathspec comes through stderr directly from ls-files. So the user still gets a hint whats going on.

2012-08-06receive-pack: do not leak output from auto-gc to standard outputLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The standard output channel of receive-pack is a structured protocol channel, and subprocesses must never be allowed to leak anything into it by writing to their standard output.

2012-08-06t/t5400: demonstrate breakage caused by informational message from pruneLibravatar Brandon Casey1-0/+35
When receive-pack triggers 'git gc --auto' and 'git prune' is called to remove a stale temporary object, 'git prune' prints an informational message to stdout about the file that it will remove. Since this message is written to stdout, it is sent back over the transport channel to the git client which tries to interpret it as part of the pack protocol and then promptly terminates with a complaint about a protocol error. Introduce a test which exercises the auto-gc functionality of receive-pack and demonstrates this breakage.

2012-08-05Fix '\ No newline...' annotation in rewrite diffsLibravatar Adam Butcher1-0/+30
When a file that ends with an incomplete line is expressed as a complete rewrite with the -B option, git diff incorrectly appends the incomplete line indicator "\ No newline at end of file" after such a line, rather than writing it on a line of its own (the output codepath for normal output without -B does not have this problem). Add a LF after the incomplete line before writing the "\ No newline ..." out to fix this. Add a couple of tests to confirm that the indicator comment is generated on its own line in both plain diff and rewrite mode.

Jeff King wrote: The seq command is GNU-ism, and is missing at least in older BSD releases and their derivatives, not to mention antique commercial Unixes. We already purged it in b3431bc (Don't use seq in tests, not everyone has it, 2007-05-02), but a few new instances have crept in. They went unnoticed because they are in scripts that are not run by default. Replace them with test_seq that is implemented with a Perl snippet (proposed by Jeff). This is better than inlining this snippet everywhere it's needed because it's easier to read and it's easier to change the implementation (e.g. to C) if we ever decide to remove Perl from the test suite. Note that test_seq is not a complete replacement for seq(1). It just has what we need now, in addition that it makes it possible for us to do something like "test_seq a m" if we wanted to in the future. There are also many places that do `for i in 1 2 3 ...` but I'm not sure if it's worth converting them to test_seq. That would introduce running more processes of Perl.

2012-07-31send-email: improve RFC2047 quote parsingLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+13
The RFC2047 unquoting, used to parse email addresses in From and Cc headers, is broken in several ways: * It erroneously substitutes ' ' for '_' in *the whole* header, even outside the quoted field. [Noticed by Christoph.] * It is too liberal in its matching, and happily matches the start of one quoted chunk against the end of another, or even just something that looks like such an end. [Noticed by Junio.] * It fundamentally cannot cope with encodings that are not a superset of ASCII, nor several (incompatible) encodings in the same header. This patch fixes the first two by doing a more careful decoding of the outer quoting (e.g. "=AB" to represent an octet whose value is 0xAB). Fixing the fundamental issues is left for a future, more intrusive, patch.

2012-07-29fsck: detect null sha1 in tree entriesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+26
Short of somebody happening to beat the 1 in 2^160 odds of actually generating content that hashes to the null sha1, we should never see this value in a tree entry. So let's have fsck warn if it it seen. As in the previous commit, we test both blob and submodule entries to future-proof the test suite against the implementation depending on connectivity to notice the error.

2012-07-29do not write null sha1s to on-disk indexLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+19
We should never need to write the null sha1 into an index entry (short of the 1 in 2^160 chance that somebody actually has content that hashes to it). If we attempt to do so, it is much more likely that it is a bug, since we use the null sha1 as a sentinel value to mean "not valid". The presence of null sha1s in the index (which can come from, among other things, "update-index --cacheinfo", or by reading a corrupted tree) can cause problems for later readers, because they cannot distinguish the literal null sha1 from its use a sentinel value. For example, "git diff-files" on such an entry would make it appear as if it is stat-dirty, and until recently, the diff code assumed such an entry meant that we should be diffing a working tree file rather than a blob. Ideally, we would stop such entries from entering even our in-core index. However, we do sometimes legitimately add entries with null sha1s in order to represent these sentinel situations; simply forbidding them in add_index_entry breaks a lot of the existing code. However, we can at least make sure that our in-core sentinel representation never makes it to disk. To be thorough, we will test an attempt to add both a blob and a submodule entry. In the former case, we might run into problems anyway because we will be missing the blob object. But in the latter case, we do not enforce connectivity across gitlink entries, making this our only point of enforcement. The current implementation does not care which type of entry we are seeing, but testing both cases helps future-proof the test suite in case that changes.

2012-07-29diff: do not use null sha1 as a sentinel valueLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+83
The diff code represents paths using the diff_filespec struct. This struct has a sha1 to represent the sha1 of the content at that path, as well as a sha1_valid member which indicates whether its sha1 field is actually useful. If sha1_valid is not true, then the filespec represents a working tree file (e.g., for the no-index case, or for when the index is not up-to-date). The diff_filespec is only used internally, though. At the interfaces to the diff subsystem, callers feed the sha1 directly, and we create a diff_filespec from it. It's at that point that we look at the sha1 and decide whether it is valid or not; callers may pass the null sha1 as a sentinel value to indicate that it is not. We should not typically see the null sha1 coming from any other source (e.g., in the index itself, or from a tree). However, a corrupt tree might have a null sha1, which would cause "diff --patch" to accidentally diff the working tree version of a file instead of treating it as a blob. This patch extends the edges of the diff interface to accept a "sha1_valid" flag whenever we accept a sha1, and to use that flag when creating a filespec. In some cases, this means passing the flag through several layers, making the code change larger than would be desirable. One alternative would be to simply die() upon seeing corrupted trees with null sha1s. However, this fix more directly addresses the problem (while bogus sha1s in a tree are probably a bad thing, it is really the sentinel confusion sending us down the wrong code path that is what makes it devastating). And it means that git is more capable of examining and debugging these corrupted trees. For example, you can still "diff --raw" such a tree to find out when the bogus entry was introduced; you just cannot do a "--patch" diff (just as you could not with any other corrupted tree, as we do not have any content to diff).

2012-07-19diff: test precedence of external diff driversLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+40
There are three ways to specify an external diff command: GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF in the environment, diff.external in the config, or a "diff" gitattribute. The current order of precedence is: 1. gitattribute 2. GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF 3. diff.external Usually our rule is that environment variables should take precedence over on-disk config (i.e., option 2 should come before option 1). However, this situation is trickier than some, because option 1 is more specific to the individual file than option 2 (which affects all files), so it might be preferable. So the current behavior can be seen as implementing "do the specific thing if we can, but fall back to this general thing". This is probably not what we would do if we were writing git from scratch, but it has been this way for several years, and is not worth changing. So let's at least document that this is the way it's supposed to work with a test. While we're there, let's also make sure that diff.external (which was not previously tested at all) works by running it through the same tests as GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF.

Upon seeing a type-change filepair, "diff --no-ext-diff" does not show the usual "deletion followed by addition" split patch and does not run the external diff driver either. This is because the logic to disable external diff was placed at a wrong level in the callchain. run_diff_cmd() decides to show the split patch only when external diff driver is not configured or specified via GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment, but this is done before checking if --no-ext-diff was given. To make things worse, run_diff_cmd() checks --no-ext-diff and disables the output for such a filepair completely, as the callchain below it (e.g. builtin_diff) does not want to handle typechange filepairs.

2012-07-12submodules: don't stumble over symbolic links when cloning recursivelyLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-0/+13
Since 69c3051 (submodules: refactor computation of relative gitdir path) cloning a submodule recursively fails for nested submodules when a symbolic link is part of the path to the work tree of the superproject. This happens when module_clone() tries to find the relative paths between the work tree and the git dir. When a symbolic link in current $PWD points to a directory that is at a different level, then determining the number of "../" needed to traverse to the superproject's work tree leads to a wrong result. As there is no portable way to say "pwd -P", use cd_to_toplevel to remove the link from $PWD, which fixes this problem. A test for this issue has been added to t7406.

2012-07-10commit: fix "--amend --only" with no pathspecLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+10
When we do not have any pathspec, we typically disallow an explicit "--only", because it makes no sense (your commit would, by definition, be empty). But since 6a74642 (git-commit --amend: two fixes., 2006-04-20), we have allowed "--amend --only" with the intent that it would amend the commit, ignoring any contents staged in the index. However, while that commit allowed the combination, we never actually implemented the logic to make it work. The current code notices that we have no pathspec and assumes we want to do an as-is commit (i.e., the "--only" is ignored). Instead, we must make sure to follow the partial-commit code-path. We also need to tweak the list_paths function to handle a NULL pathspec. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
