| * completion: restore removed line continuating backslashSZEDER Gábor2017-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent commit 1cd23e9e0 (completion: don't use __gitdir() for git commands, 2017-02-03) rewrapped a couple of long lines, and while doing so it inadvertently removed a '\' from the end of a line, thus breaking completion for 'git config remote.name.push <TAB>'.

| * completion: cache the path to the repositorySZEDER Gábor2017-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After the previous changes in this series there are only a handful of $(__gitdir) command substitutions left in the completion script, but there is still a bit of room for improvements: 1. The command substitution involves the forking of a subshell, which has considerable overhead on some platforms. 2. There are a few cases, where this command substitution is executed more than once during a single completion, which means multiple subshells and possibly multiple 'git rev-parse' executions. __gitdir() is invoked twice while completing refs for e.g. 'git log', 'git rebase', 'gitk', or while completing remote refs for 'git fetch' or 'git push'. Both of these points can be addressed by using the __git_find_repo_path() helper function introduced in the previous commit: 1. __git_find_repo_path() stores the path to the repository in a variable instead of printing it, so the command substitution around the function can be avoided. Or rather: the command substitution should be avoided to make the new value of the variable set inside the function visible to the callers. (Yes, there is now a command substitution inside __git_find_repo_path() around each 'git rev-parse', but that's executed only if necessary, and only once per completion, see point 2. below.) 2. $__git_repo_path, the variable holding the path to the repository, is declared local in the toplevel completion functions __git_main() and __gitk_main(). Thus, once set, the path is visible in all completion functions, including all subsequent calls to __git_find_repo_path(), meaning that they wouldn't have to re-discover the path to the repository. So call __git_find_repo_path() and use $__git_repo_path instead of the $(__gitdir) command substitution to access paths in the .git directory. Turn tests checking __gitdir()'s repository discovery into tests of __git_find_repo_path() such that only the tested function changes but the expected results don't, ensuring that repo discovery keeps working as it did before. As __gitdir() is not used anymore in the completion script, mark it as deprecated and direct users' attention to __git_find_repo_path() and $__git_repo_path. Yet keep four __gitdir() tests to ensure that it handles success and failure of __git_find_repo_path() and that it still handles its optional remote argument, because users' custom completion scriptlets might depend on it.

| * completion: extract repository discovery from __gitdir()SZEDER Gábor2017-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To prepare for caching the path to the repository in the following commit, extract the repository discovering part of __gitdir() into the __git_find_repo_path() helper function, which stores the found path in the $__git_repo_path variable instead of printing it. Make __gitdir() a wrapper around this new function. Declare $__git_repo_path local in the toplevel completion functions __git_main() and __gitk_main() to ensure that it never leaks into the environment and influences subsequent completions (though this isn't necessary right now, as __gitdir() is still only executed in subshells, but will matter for the following commit). Adjust tests checking __gitdir() or any other completion function calling __gitdir() to perform those checks in a subshell to prevent $__git_repo_path from leaking into the test environment. Otherwise leave the tests unchanged to demonstrate that this change doesn't alter __gitdir()'s behavior.

| * completion: don't guard git executions with __gitdir()SZEDER Gábor2017-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Three completion functions, namely __git_index_files(), __git_heads() and __git_tags(), first run __gitdir() and check that the path it outputs exists, i.e. that there is a git repository, and run a git command only if there is one. After the previous changes in this series there are no further uses of __gitdir()'s output in these functions besides those checks. And those checks are unnecessary, because we can just execute those git commands outside of a repository and let them error out. We don't perform such a check in other places either. Remove this check and the __gitdir() call from these functions, sparing the fork()+exec() overhead of the command substitution and the potential 'git rev-parse' execution.

| * completion: consolidate silencing errors from git commandsSZEDER Gábor2017-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Outputting error messages during completion is bad: they disrupt the command line, can't be deleted, and the user is forced to Ctrl-C and start over most of the time. We already silence stderr of many git commands in our Bash completion script, but there are still some in there that can spew error messages when something goes wrong. We could add the missing stderr redirections to all the remaining places, but instead let's leverage that git commands are now executed through the previously introduced __git() wrapper function, and redirect standard error to /dev/null only in that function. This way we need only one redirection to take care of errors from almost all git commands. Redirecting standard error of the __git() wrapper function thus became redundant, remove them. The exceptions, i.e. the repo-independent git executions and those in the __gitdir() function that don't go through __git() already have their standard error silenced.

| * completion: don't use __gitdir() for git commandsSZEDER Gábor2017-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several completion functions contain the following pattern to run git commands respecting the path to the repository specified on the command line: git --git-dir="$(__gitdir)" <cmd> <options> This imposes the overhead of fork()ing a subshell for the command substitution and potentially fork()+exec()ing 'git rev-parse' inside __gitdir(). Now, if neither '--gitdir=<path>' nor '-C <path>' options are specified on the command line, then those git commands are perfectly capable to discover the repository on their own. If either one or both of those options are specified on the command line, then, again, the git commands could discover the repository, if we pass them all of those options from the command line. This means we don't have to run __gitdir() at all for git commands and can spare its fork()+exec() overhead. Use Bash parameter expansions to check the $__git_dir variable and $__git_C_args array and to assemble the appropriate '--git-dir=<path>' and '-C <path>' options if either one or both are present on the command line. These parameter expansions are, however, rather long, so instead of changing all git executions and make already long lines even longer, encapsulate running git with '--git-dir=<path> -C <path>' options into the new __git() wrapper function. Furthermore, this wrapper function will also enable us to silence error messages from git commands uniformly in one place in a later commit. There's one tricky case, though: in __git_refs() local refs are listed with 'git for-each-ref', where "local" is not necessarily the repository we are currently in, but it might mean a remote repository in the filesystem (e.g. listing refs for 'git fetch /some/other/repo <TAB>'). Use one-shot variable assignment to override $__git_dir with the path of the repository where the refs should come from. Although one-shot variable assignments in front of shell functions are to be avoided in our scripts in general, in the Bash completion script we can do that safely.

| * completion: respect 'git -C <path>'SZEDER Gábor2017-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'git -C <path>' option(s) on the command line should be taken into account during completion, because - like '--git-dir=<path>', it can lead us to a different repository, - a few git commands executed in the completion script do care about in which directory they are executed, and - the command for which we are providing completion might care about in which directory it will be executed. However, unlike '--git-dir=<path>', the '-C <path>' option can be specified multiple times and their effect is cumulative, so we can't just store a single '<path>' in a variable. Nor can we simply concatenate a path from '-C <path1> -C <path2> ...', because e.g. (in an arguably pathological corner case) a relative path might be followed by an absolute path. Instead, store all '-C <path>' options word by word in the $__git_C_args array in the main git completion function, and pass this array, if present, to 'git rev-parse --absolute-git-dir' when discovering the repository in __gitdir(), and let it take care of multiple options, relative paths, absolute paths and everything. Also pass all '-C <path> options via the $__git_C_args array to those git executions which require a worktree and for which it matters from which directory they are executed from. There are only three such cases: - 'git diff-index' and 'git ls-files' in __git_ls_files_helper() used for git-aware filename completion, and - the 'git ls-tree' used for completing the 'ref:path' notation. The other git commands executed in the completion script don't need these '-C <path>' options, because __gitdir() already took those options into account. It would not hurt them, either, but let's not induce unnecessary code churn. Signed-off-by: SZEDER Gábor <szeder.dev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
| * rev-parse: add '--absolute-git-dir' optionSZEDER Gábor2017-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The output of 'git rev-parse --git-dir' can be either a relative or an absolute path, depending on whether the current working directory is at the top of the worktree or the .git directory or not, or how the path to the repository is specified via the '--git-dir=<path>' option or the $GIT_DIR environment variable. And if that output is a relative path, then it is relative to the directory where any 'git -C <path>' options might have led us. This doesn't matter at all for regular scripts, because the git wrapper automatically takes care of changing directories according to the '-C <path>' options, and the scripts can then simply follow any path returned by 'git rev-parse --git-dir', even if it's a relative path. Our Bash completion script, however, is unique in that it must run directly in the user's interactive shell environment. This means that it's not executed through the git wrapper and would have to take care of any '-C <path> options on its own, and it can't just change directories as it pleases. Consequently, adding support for taking any '-C <path>' options on the command line into account during completion turned out to be considerably more difficult, error prone and required more subshells and git processes when it had to cope with a relative path to the .git directory. Help this rather special use case and teach 'git rev-parse' a new '--absolute-git-dir' option which always outputs a canonicalized absolute path to the .git directory, regardless of whether the path is discovered automatically or is specified via $GIT_DIR or 'git --git-dir=<path>'.

| * completion: fix completion after 'git -C <path>'SZEDER Gábor2017-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main completion function finds the name of the git command by iterating through all the words on the command line in search for the first non-option-looking word. As it is not aware of 'git -C's mandatory path argument, if the '-C <path>' option is present, 'path' will be the first such word and it will be mistaken for a git command. This breaks completion in various ways: - If 'path' happens to match one of the commands supported by the completion script, then options of that command will be offered. - If 'path' doesn't match a supported command and doesn't contain any characters not allowed in Bash identifier names, then the completion script does basically nothing and Bash in turn falls back to filename completion for all subsequent words. - Otherwise, if 'path' does contain such an unallowed character, then it leads to a more or less ugly error message in the middle of the command line. The standard '/' directory separator is such a character, and it happens to trigger one of the uglier errors: $ git -C some/path <TAB>sh.exe": declare: `_git_some/path': not a valid identifier error: invalid key: alias.some/path Fix this by skipping 'git -C's mandatory path argument while iterating over the words on the command line. Extend the relevant test with this case and, while at it, with cases that needed similar treatment in the past ('--git-dir', '-c', '--work-tree' and '--namespace'). Additionally, silence the standard error of the 'declare' builtins looking for the completion function associated with the git command and of the 'git config' query for the aliased command. So if git ever learns a new option with a mandatory argument in the future, then, though the completion script will again misbehave, at least the command line will not be utterly disrupted by those error messages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main git options '--git-dir', '-c', '-C', '--worktree' and '--namespace' require an argument, but attempting completion right after them lists git commands. Don't offer anything right after these options, thus let Bash fall back to filename completion, because - the three options '--git-dir', '-C' and '--worktree' do actually require a path argument, and - we don't complete the required argument of '-c' and '--namespace', and in that case the "standard" behavior of our completion script is to not offer anything, but fall back to filename completion.

| * completion: list short refs from a remote given as a URLSZEDER Gábor2017-02-03

However, it inadvertently made impossible to complete short refs from a remote given as a URL, e.g. 'git fetch git://server.com/repo.git <TAB>', because there is, of course, no such thing as 'refs/remotes/git://server.com/repo.git'. Since the previous commit we tell apart configured remotes, i.e. those that can have a hierarchy under 'refs/remotes/', from others that don't, including remotes given as URL, so we know when we can't use the faster 'git for-each-ref'-based approach. Resurrect the old, pre-e832f5c09680 'git ls-remote'-based code for the latter case to support listing short refs from remotes given as a URL. The code is slightly updated from the original to - take into account the path to the repository given on the command line (if any), and - omit 'ORIG_HEAD' from the query, as 'git ls-remote' will never list it anyway. When the remote given to __git_refs() doesn't exist, then it will be handled by this resurrected 'git ls-remote' query. This code path doesn't list 'HEAD' unconditionally, which has the nice side effect of fixing two more expected test failures.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the remote given to __git_refs() happens to match both the name of a configured remote and the name of a directory in the current working directory, then that directory is assumed to be a git repository, and listing refs from that directory will be attempted. This is wrong, because in such a situation git commands (e.g. 'git fetch|pull|push <remote>' whom these refs will eventually be passed to) give precedence to the configured remote. Therefore, __git_refs() should list refs from the configured remote as well. Add the helper function __git_is_configured_remote() that checks whether its argument matches the name of a configured remote.

Use the __gitdir() helper only to find the path to the .git directory and pass the resulting path to the 'git ls-remote' and 'for-each-ref' executions that list remote refs. While modifying that 'for-each-ref' line, remove the superfluous disambiguating doubledash. Don't use __gitdir() to check that the given remote is on the file system: basically it performs only a single if statement for us at the considerable cost of fork()ing a subshell for a command substitution. We are better off to perform all the necessary checks of the remote in __git_refs(). Though __git_refs() was the last remaining callsite that passed a remote to __gitdir(), don't delete __gitdir()'s remote-handling part yet, just in case some users' custom completion scriptlets depend on it.

Although there are no such issues in the current tests, early versions of the new tests that will be added later in this series suffered because of this. It's better to play safe and declare $cur local in those test helper functions. 'local' is bashism, of course, but the tests of the Bash completion script are run under Bash anyway, and there are already other variables declared local in this test script.

So far, the description of reflog entries for tags was empty, making the reflog hard to understand. For example: 6e3a7b3 refs/tags/test@{0}: Now, a reflog message is generated when creating a tag, following the pattern "tag: tagging <short-sha1> (<description>)". If GIT_REFLOG_ACTION is set, the message becomes "$GIT_REFLOG_ACTION (<description>)" instead. If the tag references a commit object, the description is set to the subject line of the commit, followed by its commit date. For example: 6e3a7b3 refs/tags/test@{0}: tag: tagging 6e3a7b3398 (Git 2.12-rc0, 2017-02-03) If the tag points to a tree/blob/tag objects, the following static strings are taken as description: - "tree object" - "blob object" - "other tag object" Signed-off-by: Cornelius Weig <cornelius.weig@tngtech.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Note that this also switches the order in which we advertise refs, processing ours first and then any alternates. The order shouldn't matter (and arguably showing our refs first makes more sense).

The similar for_each_alternate_ref() code-paths in fetch-pack solve this by using flags in "struct object" to de-duplicate (and so are relying on obj_hash at the core). But we don't have a "struct object" at all in this case. We could call lookup_unknown_object() to get one, but if our goal is reducing memory footprint, it's not great: - an unknown object is as large as the largest object type (a commit), which is bigger than an oidset entry - we can free the memory after our ref advertisement, but "struct object" entries persist forever (and the receive-pack may hang around for a long time, as the bottleneck is often client upload bandwidth). So let's use an oidset. Note that unlike a sha1-array it doesn't sort the output as a side effect. However, our output is at least stable, because for_each_alternate_ref() will give us the sha1s in ref-sorted order. In one particularly pathological case with an alternate that has 60,000 unique refs out of 80 million total, this reduced the peak heap usage of "git receive-pack . </dev/null" from 13GB to 14MB.

This operation can be expensive, because it involves running a sub-process which must freshly load all of the alternate's refs from disk. Let's cache and reuse the results between the two calls. We can make some optimizations based on the particular use pattern in fetch-pack to keep our memory usage down. The first is that we only care about the sha1s, not the refs themselves. So it's OK to store only the sha1s, and to suppress duplicates. The natural fit would therefore be a sha1_array. However, sha1_array's de-duplication happens only after it has read and sorted all entries. It still stores each duplicate. For an alternate with a large number of refs pointing to the same commits, this is a needless expense. Instead, we'd prefer to eliminate duplicates before putting them in the cache, which implies using a hash. We can further note that fetch-pack will call parse_object() on each alternate sha1. We can therefore keep our cache as a set of pointers to "struct object". That gives us a place to put our "already seen" bit with an optimized hash lookup. And as a bonus, the object stores the sha1 for us, so pointer-to-object is all we need. There are two extra optimizations I didn't do here: - we actually store an array of pointer-to-object. Technically we could just walk the obj_hash table looking for entries with the ALTERNATE flag set (because our use case doesn't care about the order here). But that hash table may be mostly composed of non-ALTERNATE entries, so we'd waste time walking over them. So it would be a slight win in memory use, but a loss in CPU. - the items we pull out of the cache are actual "struct object"s, but then we feed "obj->sha1" to our sub-functions, which promptly call parse_object(). This second parse is cheap, because it starts with lookup_object() and will bail immediately when it sees we've already parsed the object. We could save the extra hash lookup, but it would involve refactoring the functions we call. It may or may not be worth the trouble.

| * | | for_each_alternate_ref: replace transport code with for-each-refJeff King2017-02-08

This works and is reasonably short, but it has a very bad memory footprint when there are a lot of refs in the alternate. There are two problems: 1. It reads in all of the refs before passing any back to us. Which means that our peak memory usage has to store every ref (including duplicates for peeled variants), even if our callback could determine that some are not interesting (e.g., because they point to the same sha1 as another ref). 2. It allocates a "struct ref" for each one. Among other things, this contains 3 separate 20-byte oids, along with the name and various pointers. That can add up, especially if the callback is only interested in the sha1 (which it can store in a sha1_array as just 20 bytes). On a particularly pathological case, where the alternate had over 80 million refs pointing to only around 60,000 unique objects, the peak heap usage of "git clone --reference" grew to over 25GB. This patch instead calls git-for-each-ref in the alternate repository, and passes each line to the callback as we read it. That drops the peak heap of the same command to 50MB. I considered and rejected a few alternatives. We could read all of the refs in the alternate using our own ref code, just as we do with submodules. However, as memory footprint is one of the concerns here, we want to avoid loading those refs into our own memory as a whole. It's possible that this will be a better technique in the future when the ref code can more easily iterate without loading all of packed-refs into memory. Another option is to keep calling upload-pack, and just parse its output ourselves in a streaming fashion. Besides for-each-ref being simpler (we get to define the format ourselves, and don't have to deal with speaking the git protocol), it's more flexible for possible future changes. For instance, it might be useful for the caller to be able to limit the set of "interesting" alternate refs. The motivating example is one where many "forks" of a particular repository share object storage, and the shared storage has refs for each fork (which is why so many of the refs are duplicates; each fork has the same tags). A plausible future optimization would be to ask for the alternate refs for just _one_ fork (if you had some out-of-band way of knowing which was the most interesting or important for the current operation). Similarly, no callbacks actually care about the symref value of alternate refs, and as before, this patch ignores them entirely. However, if we wanted to add them, for-each-ref's "%(symref)" is going to be more flexible than upload-pack, because the latter only handles the HEAD symref due to historical constraints. There is one potential downside, though: unlike upload-pack, our for-each-ref command doesn't report the peeled value of refs. The existing code calls the alternate_ref_fn callback twice for tags: once for the tag, and once for the peeled value with the refname set to "ref^{}". For the callers in fetch-pack, this doesn't matter at all. We immediately peel each tag down to a commit either way (so there's a slight improvement, as do not bother passing the redundant data over the pipe). For the caller in receive-pack, it means we will not advertise the peeled values of tags in our alternate. However, we also don't advertise peeled values for our _own_ tags, so this is actually making things more consistent. It's unclear whether receive-pack advertising peeled values is a win or not. On one hand, giving more information to the other side may let it omit some objects from the push. On the other hand, for tags which both sides have, they simply bloat the advertisement. The upload-pack advertisement of git.git is about 30% larger than the receive-pack advertisement due to its peeled information. This patch omits the peeled information from for_each_alternate_ref entirely, and leaves it up to the caller whether they want to dig up the information.

However, since 4ac9006f8 (real_path: have callers use real_pathdup and strbuf_realpath, 2016-12-12) we use the real_pathdup() function, which may return NULL. Since we don't check the return value, we can segfault. This is hard to trigger in practice, since we check that the path is accessible before creating the alternate_object_database struct. But it could be removed racily, or we could see a transient filesystem error. We could restore the original behavior by switching back to xstrdup(real_path()). However, dying is probably not the best option here. This whole function is best-effort already; there might not even be a repository around the shared objects at all. And if the alternate store has gone away, there are no objects to show. So let's just quietly return, as we would if we failed to open "refs/", or if upload-pack failed to start, etc. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently when we use the 'lstrip=<N>' option, if 'N' is greater than the number of components available in the refname, we abruptly end program execution by calling die(). This behavior is undesired since a single refname with few components could end program execution. To avoid this, return an empty string whenever the value 'N' is greater than the number of components available, instead of calling die().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In preparation for the upcoming patch, where we introduce the 'rstrip' option. Rename the 'strip' option to 'lstrip' to remove ambiguity. Signed-off-by: Karthik Nayak <Karthik.188@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
