* Merge branch 'dt/cat-file-follow-symlinks'Junio C Hamano2015-06-01
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "git cat-file --batch(-check)" learned the "--follow-symlinks" option that follows an in-tree symbolic link when asked about an object via extended SHA-1 syntax, e.g. HEAD:RelNotes that points at Documentation/RelNotes/2.5.0.txt. With the new option, the command behaves as if HEAD:Documentation/RelNotes/2.5.0.txt was given as input instead. * dt/cat-file-follow-symlinks: cat-file: add --follow-symlinks to --batch sha1_name: get_sha1_with_context learns to follow symlinks tree-walk: learn get_tree_entry_follow_symlinks
| * sha1_name: get_sha1_with_context learns to follow symlinksDavid Turner2015-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Wire up get_sha1_with_context to call get_tree_entry_follow_symlinks when GET_SHA1_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS is passed in flags. G_S_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS is incompatible with G_S_ONLY_TO_DIE because the diagnosis that ONLY_TO_DIE triggers does not at present consider symlinks, and it would be a significant amount of additional code to allow it to do so.

| * | untracked cache: avoid racy timestampsNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2015-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a directory is updated within the same second that its timestamp is last saved, we cannot realize the directory has been updated by checking timestamps. Assume the worst (something is update). See 29e4d36 (Racy GIT - 2005-12-20) for more information.

|\ \ \ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Filter scripts were run with SIGPIPE disabled on the Git side, expecting that they may not read what Git feeds them to filter. We however treated a filter that does not read its input fully before exiting as an error. This changes semantics, but arguably in a good way. If a filter can produce its output without consuming its input using whatever magic, we now let it do so, instead of diagnosing it as a programming error. * jc/ignore-epipe-in-filter: filter_buffer_or_fd(): ignore EPIPE copy.c: make copy_fd() report its status silently
| * | | copy.c: make copy_fd() report its status silentlyJunio C Hamano2015-05-19

Move the error reporting to its callers in preparation. - copy_file() and copy_file_with_time() by indirection get their own calls to error(). - hold_lock_file_for_append(), when told to die on error, used to exit(128) relying on the error message from copy_fd(), but now it does its own die() instead. Note that the callers that do not pass LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR need to be adjusted for this change, but fortunately there is none ;-) - filter_buffer_or_fd() has its own error() already, in addition to the message from copy_fd(), so this will change the output but arguably in a better way.

To construct such a configuration file path, home_config_paths() can be used. However, home_config_paths() combines distinct functionality: 1. Retrieve the home git config file path ~/.gitconfig 2. Construct the XDG config path of the file specified by `file`. This function was introduced in commit 21cf3227 ("read (but not write) from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file"). While the intention of the function was to allow the home directory configuration file path and the xdg directory configuration file path to be retrieved with one function call, the hard-coding of the path ~/.gitconfig prevents it from being used for other configuration files. Furthermore, retrieving a file path relative to the user's home directory can be done with expand_user_path(). Hence, it can be seen that home_config_paths() introduces unnecessary complexity, especially if a user just wants to retrieve the xdg config file path. As such, implement a simpler function xdg_config_home() for constructing the XDG base dir spec configuration file path. This function, together with expand_user_path(), can replace all uses of home_config_paths().

Such a repository may have a main working directory, created by either "git init" or "git clone" and one or more linked working directories. These working directories and the main repository share the same repository directory. In linked working directories, $GIT_COMMON_DIR must be defined to point to the real repository directory and $GIT_DIR points to an unused subdirectory inside $GIT_COMMON_DIR. File locations inside the repository are reorganized from the linked worktree view point: - worktree-specific such as HEAD, logs/HEAD, index, other top-level refs and unrecognized files are from $GIT_DIR. - the rest like objects, refs, info, hooks, packed-refs, shallow... are from $GIT_COMMON_DIR (except info/sparse-checkout, but that's a separate patch) Scripts are supposed to retrieve paths in $GIT_DIR with "git rev-parse --git-path", which will take care of "$GIT_DIR vs $GIT_COMMON_DIR" business. The redirection is done by git_path(), git_pathdup() and strbuf_git_path(). The selected list of paths goes to $GIT_COMMON_DIR, not the other way around in case a developer adds a new worktree-specific file and it's accidentally promoted to be shared across repositories (this includes unknown files added by third party commands) The list of known files that belong to $GIT_DIR are: ADD_EDIT.patch BISECT_ANCESTORS_OK BISECT_EXPECTED_REV BISECT_LOG BISECT_NAMES CHERRY_PICK_HEAD COMMIT_MSG FETCH_HEAD HEAD MERGE_HEAD MERGE_MODE MERGE_RR NOTES_EDITMSG NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE ORIG_HEAD REVERT_HEAD SQUASH_MSG TAG_EDITMSG fast_import_crash_* logs/HEAD next-index-* rebase-apply rebase-merge rsync-refs-* sequencer/* shallow_* Path mapping is NOT done for git_path_submodule().

| * | | | | | git_path(): be aware of file relocation in $GIT_DIRNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2014-12-01

Callers are not supposed to use git_path() or git_pathdup() to get those paths. Instead they must use get_object_directory(), get_index_file() and get_graft_file() respectively. This is inconvenient and could be missed in review (for example, there's git_path("objects/info/alternates") somewhere in sha1_file.c). This patch makes git_path() and git_pathdup() understand those environment variables. So if you set GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY to /foo/bar, git_path("objects/abc") should return /foo/bar/abc. The same is done for the two remaining env variables. "git rev-parse --git-path" is the wrapper for script use. This patch kinda reverts a0279e1 (setup_git_env: use git_pathdup instead of xmalloc + sprintf - 2014-06-19) because using git_pathdup here would result in infinite recursion: setup_git_env() -> git_pathdup("objects") -> .. -> adjust_git_path() -> get_object_directory() -> oops, git_object_directory is NOT set yet -> setup_git_env() I wanted to make git_pathdup_literal() that skips adjust_git_path(). But that won't work because later on when $GIT_COMMON_DIR is introduced, git_pathdup_literal("objects") needs adjust_git_path() to replace $GIT_DIR with $GIT_COMMON_DIR.

But that makes it awkward because git_snpath() receives a pre-allocated buffer from outside and has to copy data back. Rename it to strbuf_git_path() and make it receive strbuf directly. Using git_path() in update_refs_for_switch() which used to call git_snpath() is safe because that function and all of its callers do not keep any pointer to the round-robin buffer pool allocated by get_pathname().

Even if git_path() and similar functions does not use the whole array, git_path() caller can, in theory. After the commit, get_pathname() may return a buffer that has just enough room for the returned string and git_path() caller should never write beyond that. Make git_path(), mkpath() and git_path_submodule() return a const buffer to make sure callers do not write in it at all. This could have been part of the previous commit, but the "const" conversion is too much distraction from the core changes in path.c.

For the common case in which many objects are packed, we may update the mtime on a single packfile repeatedly. This can result in a noticeable performance problem if calling utime() is expensive (e.g., because your storage is on NFS). We can fix this by keeping a per-pack flag that lets us freshen only once per program invocation. An alternative would be to keep the packed_git.mtime flag up to date as we freshen, and freshen only once every N seconds. In practice, it's not worth the complexity. We are racing against prune expiration times here, which inherently must be set to accomodate reasonable program running times (because they really care about the time between an object being written and it becoming referenced, and the latter is typically the last step a program takes).

This serves no purpose, and may be expensive to do. A longer explanation is below. Commits d3038d2 and abcb865 taught prune and pack-objects (respectively) to treat "recent" objects as tips for reachability, so that we keep whole chunks of history. They built on the object traversal in 660c889 (sha1_file: add for_each iterators for loose and packed objects, 2014-10-15), which covers both local and alternate objects. In both cases, covering alternate objects is unnecessary, as both commands can only drop objects from the local repository. In the case of prune, we traverse only the local object directory. And in the case of repacking, while we may or may not include local objects in our pack, we will never reach into the alternate with "repack -d". The "-l" option is only a question of whether we are migrating objects from the alternate into our repository, or leaving them untouched. It is possible that we may drop an object that is depended upon by another object in the alternate. For example, imagine two repositories, A and B, with A pointing to B as an alternate. Now imagine a commit that is in B which references a tree that is only in A. Traversing from recent objects in B might prevent A from dropping that tree. But this case isn't worth covering. Repo B should take responsibility for its own objects. It would never have had the commit in the first place if it did not also have the tree, and assuming it is using the same "keep recent chunks of history" scheme, then it would itself keep the tree, as well. So checking the alternate objects is not worth doing, and come with a significant performance impact. In both cases, we skip any recent objects that have already been marked SEEN (i.e., that we know are already reachable for prune, or included in the pack for a repack). So there is a slight waste of time in opening the alternate packs at all, only to notice that we have already considered each object. But much worse, the alternate repository may have a large number of objects that are not reachable from the local repository at all, and we end up adding them to the traversal. We can fix this by considering only local unseen objects. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Using these functions, which take pointers to unsigned char, with struct object_id requires tiresome access to the sha1 member, which bloats code and violates the desired encapsulation. Provide wrappers around these functions for struct object_id for neater, more maintainable code. Use the new constants to avoid the hard-coded 20s and 40s throughout the original functions. These functions simply call the underlying pointer-to-unsigned-char versions to ensure that any performance improvements will be passed through to the new functions.

This leads to lots of hardcoded numbers throughout the codebase. It also leads to confusion about the purposes of a buffer. Introduce a structure for object IDs. This allows us to obtain the benefits of compile-time checking for misuse. The structure is expected to remain the same size and have the same alignment requirements on all known platforms, compared to the array of unsigned char, although this is not required for correctness.

Many builtin commands use this function from builtin/ls-files.c, which is not a very healthy arrangement. ls-files might have been the first command to feel the need for such a helper, but the need is shared by everybody who uses the "match and then report" pattern.

However, some operations should be performed with knowledge of these broken refs, because it is better for the operation to choke on a missing object than it is to silently pretend that the ref did not exist (e.g., if we are computing the set of reachable tips in order to prune objects). These processes could just call for_each_rawref, except that ref iteration is often hidden behind other interfaces. For instance, for a destructive "repack -ad", we would have to inform "pack-objects" that we are destructive, and then it would in turn have to tell the revision code that our "--all" should include broken refs. It's much simpler to just set a global for "dangerous" operations that includes broken refs in all iterations.

In ec7ff5b, it was made into a reusable function, and in dc801e7, we started using it to align diffstats. Binary files in a diffstat show byte counts rather than line numbers, meaning they can be quite large (e.g., consider adding or removing a 2GB file). decimal_width is not up to the challenge for two reasons: 1. It takes the value as an "int", whereas large files may easily surpass this. The value may be truncated, in which case we will produce an incorrect value. 2. It counts "up" by repeatedly multiplying another integer by 10 until it surpasses the value. This can cause an infinite loop when the value is close to the largest representable integer. For example, consider using a 32-bit signed integer, and a value of 2,140,000,000 (just shy of 2^31-1). We will count up and eventually see that 1,000,000,000 is smaller than our value. The next step would be to multiply by 10 and see that 10,000,000,000 is too large, ending the loop. But we can't represent that value, and we have signed overflow. This is technically undefined behavior, but a common behavior is to lose the high bits, in which case our iterator will certainly be less than the number. So we'll keep multiplying, overflow again, and so on. This patch changes the argument to a uintmax_t (the same type we use to store the diffstat information for binary filese), and counts "down" by repeatedly dividing our value by 10.

But this means we need to respect the filesystem's idea of when two paths are equal. The prior commit added a helper to make such a comparison for NTFS and FAT32; let's use it in verify_path(). We make this check optional for two reasons: 1. It restricts the set of allowable filenames, which is unnecessary for people who are not on NTFS nor FAT32. In practice this probably doesn't matter, though, as the restricted names are rather obscure and almost certainly would never come up in practice. 2. It has a minor performance penalty for every path we insert into the index. This patch ties the check to the core.protectNTFS config option. Though this is expected to be most useful on Windows, we allow it to be set everywhere, as NTFS may be mounted on other platforms. The variable does default to on for Windows, though.

However, asking "is this path the same as .git" is not as simple as strcmp() on some filesystems. On NTFS (and FAT32), there exist so-called "short names" for backwards-compatibility: 8.3 compliant names that refer to the same files as their long names. As ".git" is not an 8.3 compliant name, a short name is generated automatically, typically "git~1". Depending on the Windows version, any combination of trailing spaces and periods are ignored, too, so that both "git~1." and ".git." still refer to the Git directory. The reason is that 8.3 stores file names shorter than 8 characters with trailing spaces. So literally, it does not matter for the short name whether it is padded with spaces or whether it is shorter than 8 characters, it is considered to be the exact same. The period is the separator between file name and file extension, and again, an empty extension consists just of spaces in 8.3 format. So technically, we would need only take care of the equivalent of this regex: (\.git {0,4}|git~1 {0,3})\. {0,3} However, there are indications that at least some Windows versions might be more lenient and accept arbitrary combinations of trailing spaces and periods and strip them out. So we're playing it real safe here. Besides, there can be little doubt about the intention behind using file names matching even the more lenient pattern specified above, therefore we should be fine with disallowing such patterns. Extra care is taken to catch names such as '.\\.git\\booh' because the backslash is marked as a directory separator only on Windows, and we want to use this new helper function also in fsck on other platforms. A big thank you goes to Ed Thomson and an unnamed Microsoft engineer for the detailed analysis performed to come up with the corresponding fixes for libgit2. This commit adds a function to detect whether a given file name can refer to the Git directory by mistake.

But this means we need to respect the filesystem's idea of when two paths are equal. The prior commit added a helper to make such a comparison for HFS+; let's use it in verify_path. We make this check optional for two reasons: 1. It restricts the set of allowable filenames, which is unnecessary for people who are not on HFS+. In practice this probably doesn't matter, though, as the restricted names are rather obscure and almost certainly would never come up in practice. 2. It has a minor performance penalty for every path we insert into the index. This patch ties the check to the core.protectHFS config option. Though this is expected to be most useful on OS X, we allow it to be set everywhere, as HFS+ may be mounted on other platforms. The variable does default to on for OS X, though.
