2009-11-04Smart push over HTTP: client sideLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+1
The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports the git-receive-pack service, and if so, runs git-send-pack in a pipe to dump the command and pack data as a single POST request. The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request starts. This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified. For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server. The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas created by human authors against text sources with the occasional small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image). The configuration option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this buffer if the default is not sufficient. For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked". This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack file locally. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2009-11-03Require a struct remote in transport_get()Libravatar Daniel Barkalow1-2/+5
cmd_ls_remote() was calling transport_get() with a NULL remote and a non-NULL url in the case where it was run outside a git repository. This involved a bunch of ill-tested special cases. Instead, simply get the struct remote for the URL with remote_get(), which works fine outside a git repository, and can also take global options into account. This fixes a tiny and obscure bug where "git ls-remote" without a repo didn't support global url.*.insteadOf, even though "git clone" and "git ls-remote" in any repo did. Also, enforce that all callers provide a struct remote to transport_get(). Signed-off-by: Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-10-30Move WebDAV HTTP push under remote-curlLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-31/+0
The remote helper interface now supports the push capability, which can be used to ask the implementation to push one or more specs to the remote repository. For remote-curl we implement this by calling the existing WebDAV based git-http-push executable. Internally the helper interface uses the push_refs transport hook so that the complexity of the refspec parsing and matching can be reused between remote implementations. When possible however the helper protocol uses source ref name rather than the source SHA-1, thereby allowing the helper to access this name if it is useful. >From Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at>: update http tests according to remote-curl capabilities o Pushing packed refs is now fixed. o The transport helper fails if refs are already up-to-date. Add a test for that. o The transport helper will notice if refs are already up-to-date. We therefore need to update server info in the unpacked-refs test. o The transport helper will purge deleted branches automatically. o Use a variable ($ORIG_HEAD) instead of full SHA-1 name.

2009-08-24fix simple deepening of a repoLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+15
If all refs sent by the remote repo during a fetch are reachable locally, then no further conversation is performed with the remote. This check is skipped when the --depth argument is provided to allow the deepening of a shallow clone which corresponding remote repo has no changed. However, some additional filtering was added in commit c29727d5 to remove those refs which are equal on both sides. If the remote repo has not changed, then the list of refs to give the remote process becomes empty and simply attempting to deepen a shallow repo always fails. Let's stop being smart in that case and simply send the whole list over when that condition is met. The remote will do the right thing anyways. Test cases for this issue are also provided.

2009-07-06run_command: report failure to execute the program, but optionally don'tLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-5/+1
In the case where a program was not found, it was still the task of the caller to report an error to the user. Usually, this is an interesting case but only few callers actually reported a specific error (though many call sites report a generic error message regardless of the cause). With this change the error is reported by run_command, but since there is one call site in git.c that does not want that, an option is added to struct child_process, which is used to turn the error off.

2009-07-06run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error codesLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-11/+1
The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error messages. If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent example is this: $ git upload-pack . | : fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack' In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early. With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the above example the error is now to the point: $ git upload-pack . | : error: git-upload-pack died of signal Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked program has already reported an error. (But many run_command call sites nevertheless write a generic error message.) There was one special return code that was used to identify the case where run_command failed because the requested program could not be exec'd. This special case is now treated like a system call failure with errno set to ENOENT. No error is reported in this case, because the call site in git.c expects this as a normal result. Therefore, the callers that carefully decoded the return value still check for this condition. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-04-21fetch: Strip usernames from url's before storing themLibravatar Andreas Ericsson1-0/+48
When pulling from a remote, the full URL including username is by default added to the commit message. Since it adds very little value but could be used by malicious people to glean valid usernames (with matching hostnames), we're far better off just stripping the username before storing the remote URL locally.

2008-09-09push: prepare sender to receive extended ref information from the receiverLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
"git push" enhancement allows the receiving end to report not only its own refs but refs in repositories it borrows from via the alternate object store mechanism. By telling the sender that objects reachable from these extra refs are already complete in the receiving end, the number of objects that need to be transfered can be cut down. These entries are sent over the wire with string ".have", instead of the actual names of the refs. This string was chosen so that they are ignored by older programs at the sending end. If we sent some random but valid looking refnames for these entries, "matching refs" rule (triggered when running "git push" without explicit refspecs, where the sender learns what refs the receiver has, and updates only the ones with the names of the refs the sender also has) and "delete missing" rule (triggered when "git push --mirror" is used, where the sender tells the receiver to delete the refs it itself does not have) would try to update/delete them, which is not what we want. This prepares the send-pack (and "push" that runs native protocol) to accept extended existing ref information and make use of it. The ".have" entries are excluded from ref matching rules, and are exempt from deletion rule while pushing with --mirror option, but are still used for pack generation purposes by providing more "bottom" range commits.
