When PERF_EXTRA is enabled, p5302 checks the performance of index-pack
with various numbers of threads. This can be useful for deciding what
the default should be (which is currently capped at 3 threads based on
the results of this script).
However, we only go up to 8 threads, and modern machines may have more.
Let's get the number of CPUs from test-tool, and test various numbers of
threads between one and that maximum.
Note that the current tests aren't all identical, as we have to set
GIT_FORCE_THREADS for the --threads=1 test (which measures the overhead
of starting a single worker thread versus the "0" case of using the main
thread). To keep the loop simple, we'll keep the "0" case out of it, and
set GIT_FORCE_THREADS=1 for all of the other cases (it's a noop for all
but the "1" case, since numbers higher than 1 would always need
threads).
Note also that we could skip running "test-tool" if PERF_EXTRA isn't
set. However, there's some small value in knowing the number of threads,
so that we can mark each test as skipped in the output.

The primary function of the perf suite is to detect regressions (or
improvements) between versions of Git. The only numbers we show a direct
comparison for are timings between the same test run on two different
versions.
However, it can sometimes be used to collect other information. For
instance, p5302 runs the same index-pack operation with different thread
counts. The output doesn't directly compare these, but anybody
interested in working on index-pack can manually compare the results.
For a normal regression run of the full perf-suite, though, this incurs
a significant cost to generate numbers nobody will actually look at;
about 25% of the total time of the test suite is spent in p5302. And the
low-thread-count runs are the most expensive part of it, since they're
(unsurprisingly) not using as many threads.
Let's skip these tests by default, but make it possible for people
working on index-pack to still run them by setting an environment
variable. Rather than make this specific to p5302, let's introduce a
generic mechanism. This makes it possible to run the full suite with
every possible test if somebody really wants to burn some CPU.

Last minute fix-up to tests for portability.
* dl/branch-cleanup:
t3200: don't grep for `strerror()` string
|
|
In 6b7093064a ("t3200: test for specific errors", 2020-06-15), we
learned to grep stderr to ensure that the failing `git branch`
invocations fail for the right reason. In two of these tests, we grep
for "File exists", expecting the string to show up there since config.c
calls `error_errno()`, which ends up including `strerror(errno)` in the
error message.
But as we saw in 4605a73073 ("t1091: don't grep for `strerror()`
string", 2020-03-08), there exists at least one implementation where
`strerror()` yields a slightly different string than the one we're
grepping for. In particular, these tests fail on the NonStop platform.
Similar to 4605a73073, grep for the beginning of the string instead to
avoid relying on `strerror()` behavior.

In 2.28-rc0, we corrected a bug that some repository extensions are
honored by mistake even in a version 0 repositories (these
configuration variables in extensions.* namespace were supposed to
have special meaning in repositories whose version numbers are 1 or
higher), but this was a bit too big a change.
* jn/v0-with-extensions-fix:
repository: allow repository format upgrade with extensions
Revert "check_repository_format_gently(): refuse extensions for old repositories"
|
|
Now that we officially permit repository extensions in repository
format v0, permit upgrading a repository with extensions from v0 to v1
as well.
For example, this means a repository where the user has set
"extensions.preciousObjects" can use "git fetch --filter=blob:none
origin" to upgrade the repository to use v1 and the partial clone
extension.
To avoid mistakes, continue to forbid repository format upgrades in v0
repositories with an unrecognized extension. This way, a v0 user
using a misspelled extension field gets a chance to correct the
mistake before updating to the less forgiving v1 format.
While we're here, make the error message for failure to upgrade the
repository format a bit shorter, and present it as an error, not a
warning.

repositories"
This reverts commit 14c7fa269e42df4133edd9ae7763b678ed6594cd.
The core.repositoryFormatVersion field was introduced in ab9cb76f661
(Repository format version check., 2005-11-25), providing a welcome
bit of forward compatibility, thanks to some welcome analysis by
Martin Atukunda. The semantics are simple: a repository with
core.repositoryFormatVersion set to 0 should be comprehensible by all
Git implementations in active use; and Git implementations should
error out early instead of trying to act on Git repositories with
higher core.repositoryFormatVersion values representing new formats
that they do not understand.
A new repository format did not need to be defined until 00a09d57eb8
(introduce "extensions" form of core.repositoryformatversion,
2015-06-23). This provided a finer-grained extension mechanism for
Git repositories. In a repository with core.repositoryFormatVersion
set to 1, Git implementations can act on "extensions.*" settings that
modify how a repository is interpreted. In repository format version
1, unrecognized extensions settings cause Git to error out.
What happens if a user sets an extension setting but forgets to
increase the repository format version to 1? The extension settings
were still recognized in that case; worse, unrecognized extensions
settings do *not* cause Git to error out. So combining repository
format version 0 with extensions settings produces in some sense the
worst of both worlds.
To improve that situation, since 14c7fa269e4
(check_repository_format_gently(): refuse extensions for old
repositories, 2020-06-05) Git instead ignores extensions in v0 mode.
This way, v0 repositories get the historical (pre-2015) behavior and
maintain compatibility with Git implementations that do not know about
the v1 format. Unfortunately, users had been using this sort of
configuration and this behavior change came to many as a surprise:
- users of "git config --worktree" that had followed its advice
to enable extensions.worktreeConfig (without also increasing the
repository format version) would find their worktree configuration
no longer taking effect
- tools such as copybara[*] that had set extensions.partialClone in
existing repositories (without also increasing the repository format
version) would find that setting no longer taking effect
The behavior introduced in 14c7fa269e4 might be a good behavior if we
were traveling back in time to 2015, but we're far too late. For some
reason I thought that it was what had been originally implemented and
that it had regressed. Apologies for not doing my research when
14c7fa269e4 was under development.
Let's return to the behavior we've had since 2015: always act on
extensions.* settings, regardless of repository format version. While
we're here, include some tests to describe the effect on the "upgrade
repository version" code path.

Since 37b9dcabfc (shallow.c: use '{commit,rollback}_shallow_file',
2020-04-22), Git knows how to reset stat-validity checks for the
$GIT_DIR/shallow file, allowing it to change between a shallow and
non-shallow state in the same process (e.g., in the case of 'git fetch
--unshallow').
However, when $GIT_DIR/shallow changes, Git does not alter or remove any
grafts (nor substituted parents) in memory.
This comes up in a "git fetch --unshallow" with fetch.writeCommitGraph
set to true. Ordinarily in a shallow repository (and before 37b9dcabfc,
even in this case), commit_graph_compatible() would return false,
indicating that the repository should not be used to write a
commit-graphs (since commit-graph files cannot represent a shallow
history). But since 37b9dcabfc, in an --unshallow operation that check
succeeds.
Thus even though the repository isn't shallow any longer (that is, we
have all of the objects), the in-core representation of those objects
still has munged parents at the shallow boundaries. When the
commit-graph write proceeds, we use the incorrect parentage, producing
wrong results.
There are two ways for a user to work around this: either (1) set
'fetch.writeCommitGraph' to 'false', or (2) drop the commit-graph after
unshallowing.
One way to fix this would be to reset the parsed object pool entirely
(flushing the cache and thus preventing subsequent reads from modifying
their parents) after unshallowing. That would produce a problem when
callers have a now-stale reference to the old pool, and so this patch
implements a different approach. Instead, attach a new bit to the pool,
'substituted_parent', which indicates if the repository *ever* stored a
commit which had its parents modified (i.e., the shallow boundary
prior to unshallowing).
This bit needs to be sticky because all reads subsequent to modifying a
commit's parents are unreliable when unshallowing. Modify the check in
'commit_graph_compatible' to take this bit into account, and correctly
avoid generating commit-graphs in this case, thus solving the bug.

In https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2677, a `git difftool
-d` problem was reported. The underlying cause was a bug in `git
diff-files --raw` that we just fixed: it reported intent-to-add files
with the empty _tree_ as the post-image OID, when we need to show
an all-zero (or, "null") OID instead, to indicate to the caller that
they have to look at the worktree file.
The symptom of that problem shown by `git difftool` was this:
error: unable to read sha1 file of <path> (<empty-tree-OID>)
error: could not write '<filename>'
Make sure that the reported `difftool` problem stays fixed.

The documented behavior of `git diff-files --raw` is to display
[...] 0{40} if creation, unmerged or "look at work tree".
on the right hand (i.e. postimage) side. This happens for files that
have unstaged modifications, and for files that are unmodified but
stat-dirty.
For intent-to-add files, we used to show the empty blob's hash instead.
In c26022ea8f5 (diff: convert diff_addremove to struct object_id,
2017-05-30), we made that worse by inadvertently changing that to the
hash of the empty tree.
Let's make the behavior consistent with files that have unstaged
modifications (which applies to intent-to-add files, too) by showing
all-zero values also for intent-to-add files.
Accordingly, this patch adjusts the expectations set by the regression
test introduced in feea6946a5b (diff-files: treat "i-t-a" files as
"not-in-index", 2020-06-20).

Running "fast-export --anonymize" will leave "refs/heads/master"
untouched in the output, for two reasons:
- it helped to have some known reference point between the original
and anonymized repository
- since it's historically the default branch name, it doesn't leak any
information
Now that we can ask fast-export to retain particular tokens, we have a
much better tool for the first one (because it works for any ref, not
just master).
For the second, the notion of "default branch name" is likely to become
configurable soon, at which point the name _does_ leak information.
Let's drop this special case in preparation.
Note that we have to adjust the test a bit, since it relied on using the
name "master" in the anonymized repos. We could just use
--anonymize-map=master to keep the same output, but then we wouldn't
know if it works because of our hard-coded master or because of the
explicit map.
So let's flip the test a bit, and confirm that we anonymize "master",
but keep "other" in the output.

After you anonymize a repository, it can be hard to find which commits
correspond between the original and the result, and thus hard to
reproduce commands that triggered bugs in the original.
Let's make it possible to seed the anonymization map. This lets users
either:
- mark names to be retained as-is, if they don't consider them secret
(in which case their original commands would just work)
- map names to new values, which lets them adapt the reproduction
recipe to the new names without revealing the originals
The implementation is fairly straight-forward. We already store each
anonymized token in a hashmap (so that the same token appearing twice is
converted to the same result). We can just introduce a new "seed"
hashmap which is consulted first.
This does make a few more promises to the user about how we'll anonymize
things (e.g., token-splitting pathnames). But it's unlikely that we'd
want to change those rules, even if the actual anonymization of a single
token changes. And it makes things much easier for the user, who can
unblind only a directory name without having to specify each path within
it.
One alternative to this approach would be to anonymize as we see fit,
and then dump the whole refname and pathname mappings to a file. This
does work, but it's a bit awkward to use (you have to manually dig the
items you care about out of the mapping).

The default name of the initial branch in new repositories can now be
configured. The `testsvn` remote helper translates the remote Subversion
repository's branch name `trunk` to the hard-coded name `master`.
Clearly, the intention was to make the name align with Git's defaults.
So while we are not talking about a newly-created repository in the
`testsvn` context, it is a newly-created _Git_ repository, si it _still_
makes sense to use the overridden default name for the initial branch
whenever users configured it.

When guessing the default branch name of a remote, and there are no refs
to guess from, we want to go with the preference specified by the user
for the fall-back, i.e. the default name to be used for the initial
branch of new repositories (because as far as the user is concerned, a
remote that has no branches yet is a new repository).
At the same time, when talking to an older Git server that does not
report a symref for `HEAD` (but instead reports a commit hash), let's
try to guess the configured default branch name first. If it does not
match the reported commit hash, let's fall back to `master` as before.

the main branch name of their repositories (see e.g.
https://twitter.com/mislav/status/1270388510684598272 for background on
this).
To change that branch name for new repositories, currently the only way
to do that automatically is by copying all of Git's template directory,
then hard-coding the desired default branch name into the `.git/HEAD`
file, and then configuring `init.templateDir` to point to those copied
template files.
To make this process much less cumbersome, let's introduce a new option:
`--initial-branch=<branch-name>`.

When `remote.<name>.branch` is not configured, `git submodule update`
currently falls back to using the branch name `master`. A much better
idea, however, is to use the remote `HEAD`: on all Git servers running
reasonably recent Git versions, the symref `HEAD` points to the main
branch.
Note: t7419 demonstrates that there _might_ be use cases out there that
_expect_ `git submodule update --remote` to update submodules to the
remote `master` branch even if the remote `HEAD` points to another
branch. Arguably, this patch makes the behavior more intuitive, but
there is a slight possibility that this might cause regressions in
obscure setups.
Even so, it should be okay to fix this behavior without anything like a
longer transition period:
- The `git submodule update --remote` command is not really common.
- Current Git's behavior when running this command is outright
confusing, unless the remote repository's current branch _is_ `master`
(in which case the proposed behavior matches the old behavior).
- If a user encounters a regression due to the changed behavior, the fix
is actually trivial: setting `submodule.<name>.branch` to `master`
will reinstate the old behavior.

When trying to push all matching branches, but none match, we offer a
message suggesting to push the `master` branch.
However, we want to step away from making that branch any more special
than any other branch, so let's reword that message to mention no branch
in particular.

When we run a test helper function in test_submodule_switch_common(), we
sometimes specify a whole helper function as the $command. When we do
this, in some test cases, we just mark the whole function with
`test_must_fail`. However, it's possible that the helper function might
fail earlier or later than expected due to an introduced bug. If this
happens, then the test case will still report as passing but it should
really be marked as failing since it didn't actually display the
intended behaviour.
Instead of invoking `test_must_fail $command`, pass the string
"test_must_fail" as the second argument in case where the git command is
expected to fail.
When $command is a helper function, the parent function calling
test_submodule_switch_common() is test_submodule_switch_func(). For all
test_submodule_switch_func() invocations, increase the granularity of
the argument test helper function by prefixing the git invocation which is
meant to fail with the second argument like this:
$2 git checkout "$1"
In the other cases, test_submodule_switch() and
test_submodule_forced_switch(), instead of passing in the git command
directly, wrap it using the git_test_func() and pass the git arguments
using the global variable $gitcmd. Unfortunately, since closures aren't
a thing in shell scripts, the global variable is necessary. Another
unfortunate result is that the "git_test_func" will used as the test
case name when $command is printed but it's worth it for the cleaner
code.
Finally, as an added bonus, `test_must_fail` will now only run on git
commands.

Our anonymize_mem() function is careful to take a ptr/len pair to allow
storing binary tokens like object ids, as well as partial strings (e.g.,
just "foo" of "foo/bar"). But it duplicates the hash key using
xstrdup()! That means that:
- for a partial string, we'd store all bytes up to the NUL, even
though we'd never look at anything past "len". This didn't produce
wrong behavior, but was wasteful.
- for a binary oid that doesn't contain a zero byte, we'd copy garbage
bytes off the end of the array (though as long as nothing complained
about reading uninitialized bytes, further reads would be limited by
"len", and we'd produce the correct results)
- for a binary oid that does contain a zero byte, we'd copy _fewer_
bytes than intended into the hashmap struct. When we later try to
look up a value, we'd access uninitialized memory and potentially
falsely claim that a particular oid is not present.
The most common reason to store an oid is an anonymized gitlink, but our
test case doesn't have any gitlinks at all. So let's add one whose oid
contains a NUL and is present at two different paths. ASan catches the
memory error, but even without it we can detect the bug because the oid
is not anonymized the same way for both paths.
And of course the fix is to copy the correct number of bytes. We don't
technically need the appended NUL from xmemdupz(), but it doesn't hurt
as an extra protection against anybody treating it like a string (plus a
future patch will push us more in that direction).

Our tests of the anonymized repo just hard-code the expected set of
objects in the root and subdirectory trees. This makes them brittle to
the test setup changing (e.g., adding new paths that need tested).
Let's look at the original repo to compute our expected set of objects.
Note that this isn't completely perfect (e.g., we still rely on there
being only one tree in the root), but it does simplify later patches.

In the context of many projects renaming their primary branch names away
from `master`, Git wants to stop treating the `master` branch specially.
Let's start with `git fmt-merge-msg`.

d91d6fbf26 (commit-reach: create repo_is_descendant_of(), 2020-06-17)
adds a repository aware version of is_descendant_of() and a backward
compatibility shim that is barely used.
Update all callers to directly use the new repo_is_descendant_of()
function instead; making the codebase simpler and pushing more
the_repository references higher up the stack.

When we push using the DAV-based protocol, the client is the one that
performs the ref updates and therefore makes the checks to see whether
an unforced push should be allowed. We make this check by determining
if either (a) we lack the object file for the old value of the ref or
(b) the new value of the ref is not newer than the old value, and in
either case, reject the push.
However, the ref_newer function, which performs this latter check, has
an odd behavior due to the reuse of certain object flags. Specifically,
it will incorrectly return false in its first invocation and then
correctly return true on a subsequent invocation. This occurs because
the object flags used by http-push.c are the same as those used by
commit-reach.c, which implements ref_newer, and one piece of code
misinterprets the flags set by the other.
Note that this does not occur in all cases. For example, if the example
used in the tests is changed to use one repository instead of two and
rewind the head to add a commit, the test passes and we correctly reject
the push. However, the example provided does trigger this behavior, and
the code has been broken in this way since at least Git 2.0.0.
To solve this problem, let's move the two sets of object flags so that
they don't overlap, since we're clearly using them at the same time.
The new set should not conflict with other usage because other users are
either builtin code (which is not compiled into git http-push) or
upload-pack (which we similarly do not use here).
