| * safecrlf: Add mechanism to warn about irreversible crlf conversionsSteffen Prohaska2008-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data. autocrlf=true will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git. For text files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings such that we have only LF line endings in the repository. But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the conversion can corrupt data. If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right after committing you still have the original file in your work tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell git that this file is binary and git will handle the file appropriately. Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files converting CRLFs corrupts data. This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert. The mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the following values: - false: disable safecrlf mechanism - warn: warn about irreversible conversions - true: refuse irreversible conversions The default is to warn. Users are only affected by this default if core.autocrlf is set. But the current default of git is to leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism. The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command. The general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are: - we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the original file. - for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree we do not not print annoying warnings. There are exceptions. Even though... - "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the next checkout would, so the safety triggers; - "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the safety does not trigger; - "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add". To catch potential problems early, safety triggers. The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar way by Linus Torvalds. Thanks to Dimitry Potapov for insisting on getting the naked LF/autocrlf=true case right. Signed-off-by: Steffen Prohaska <prohaska@zib.de>

| * | config: add 'git_config_string' to refactor string config variables.Christian Couder2008-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In many places we just check if a value from the config file is not NULL, then we duplicate it and return 0. This patch introduces the new 'git_config_string' function to do that. This function is also used to refactor some code in 'config.c'. Refactoring other files is left for other patches. Also not all the code in "config.c" is refactored, because the function takes a "const char **" as its first parameter, but in many places a "char *" is used instead of a "const char *". (And C does not allow using a "char **" instead of a "const char **" without a warning.) Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* config: handle lack of newline at end of file betterJeff King2008-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The config parsing routines use the static global 'config_file' to store the FILE* pointing to the current config file being parsed. The function get_next_char() automatically converts an EOF on this file to a newline for the convenience of its callers, and it sets config_file to NULL to indicate that EOF was reached. This throws away useful information, though, since some routines want to call ftell on 'config_file' to find out exactly _where_ the routine ended. In the case of a key ending at EOF boundary, we ended up segfaulting in some cases (changing that key or adding another key in its section), or failing to provide the necessary newline (adding a new section). This patch adds a new flag to indicate EOF and uses that instead of setting config_file to NULL. It also makes sure to add newlines where necessary for truncated input. All three included tests fail without the patch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* Improve error messages when int/long cannot be parsed from configShawn O. Pearce2007-12-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a config file has become mildly corrupted due to a missing LF we may discover some other option joined up against the end of a numeric value. For example: [section] number = 1auto where the "auto" flag was meant to occur on the next line, below "number", but the missing LF has caused it to no longer be its own option. Instead the word "auto" is parsed as a 'unit factor' for the value of "number". Before this change we got the confusing error message: fatal: unknown unit: 'auto' which told us nothing about where the problem appeared. Now we get: fatal: bad config value for 'aninvalid.unit' which at least points the user in the right direction of where to search for the incorrectly formatted configuration file. Noticed by erikh on #git, which received the original error from a simple `git checkout -b` due to a midly corrupted config. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The `core.whitespace` configuration variable allows you to define what `diff` and `apply` should consider whitespace errors for all paths in the project (See gitlink:git-config[1]). This attribute gives you finer control per path. For example, if you have these in the .gitattributes: frotz whitespace nitfol -whitespace xyzzy whitespace=-trailing all types of whitespace problems known to git are noticed in path 'frotz' (i.e. diff shows them in diff.whitespace color, and apply warns about them), no whitespace problem is noticed in path 'nitfol', and the default types of whitespace problems except "trailing whitespace" are noticed for path 'xyzzy'.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a new whitespace error type, "indent-with-non-tab". The error is about starting a line with 8 or more SP, instead of indenting it with a HT. This is not enabled by default, as some projects employ an indenting policy to use only SPs and no HTs. The kernel folks and git contributors may want to enable this detection with: [core] whitespace = indent-with-non-tab Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces core.whitespace configuration variable that lets you specify the definition of "whitespace error". Currently there are two kinds of whitespace errors defined: * trailing-space: trailing whitespaces at the end of the line. * space-before-tab: a SP appears immediately before HT in the indent part of the line. You can specify the desired types of errors to be detected by listing their names (unique abbreviations are accepted) separated by comma. By default, these two errors are always detected, as that is the traditional behaviour. You can disable detection of a particular type of error by prefixing a '-' in front of the name of the error, like this: [core] whitespace = -trailing-space This patch teaches the code to output colored diff with DIFF_WHITESPACE color to highlight the detected whitespace errors to honor the new configuration.

Hence, -DETC_GITCONFIG is removed from the CFLAGS and a special build rule for config.c is introduced. As a side-effect, changing the defintion of ETC_GITCONFIG (e.g. in config.mak) does not trigger a complete rebuild anymore.

* Add core.quotepath configuration variable.Junio C Hamano2007-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We always quote "unusual" byte values in a pathname using C-string style, to make it safer for parsing scripts that do not handle NUL separated records well (or just too lazy to bother). The absolute minimum bytes that need to be quoted for this purpose are TAB, LF (and other control characters), double quote and backslash. However, we have also always quoted the bytes in high 8-bit range; this was partly because we were lazy and partly because we were being cautious. This introduces an internal "quote_path_fully" variable, and core.quotepath configuration variable to control it. When set to false, it does not quote bytes in high 8-bit range anymore but passes them intact. The variable defaults to "true" to retain the traditional behaviour for now.

Loose objects will be compressed using core.loosecompression if set, else core.compression if set, else Z_BEST_SPEED. Packed objects will be compressed using --compression=level if seen, else pack.compression if set, else core.compression if set, else Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION. This is the "pack compression level". Loose objects added to a pack undeltified will be recompressed to the pack compression level if it is unequal to the current loose compression level by the preceding rules, or if the loose object was written while core.legacyheaders = true. Newly deltified loose objects are always compressed to the current pack compression level. Previously packed objects added to a pack are recompressed to the current pack compression level exactly when their deltification status changes, since the previous pack data cannot be reused. In either case, the --no-reuse-object switch from the first patch below will always force recompression to the current pack compression level, instead of assuming the pack compression level hasn't changed and pack data can be reused when possible.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we encourage and actively preserve objects in a packed form more agressively than we did at the time the new loose object format and core.legacyheaders were introduced, that extra loose object format doesn't appear to be worth it anymore. Because the packing of loose objects has to go through the delta match loop anyway, and since most of them should end up being deltified in most cases, there is really little advantage to have this parallel loose object format as the CPU savings it might provide is rather lost in the noise in the end. This patch gets rid of core.legacyheaders, preserve the legacy format as the only writable loose object format and deprecate the other one to keep things simpler.

* | git-config: do not forget seeing "a.b.var" means we are out of "a.var" section.Junio C Hamano2007-05-13
|/ | | | | | | | | | | Earlier code tried to be half-careful and knew the logic that seeing "a.var" after seeing "a.b.var" is a sign of the previous "a.b." section has ended, but forgot it has to handle the other way. Seeing "a.b.var" after seeing "a.var" is a sign that "a." section has ended, so a new "a.var2" variable should be added before the location "a.b.var" appears.

* Limit the size of the new delta_base_cacheShawn O. Pearce2007-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new configuration variable core.deltaBaseCacheLimit allows the user to control how much memory they are willing to give to Git for caching base objects of deltas. This is not normally meant to be a user tweakable knob; the "out of the box" settings are meant to be suitable for almost all workloads. We default to 16 MiB under the assumption that the cache is not meant to consume all of the user's available memory, and that the cache's main purpose was to cache trees, for faster path limiters during revision traversal. Since trees tend to be relatively small objects, this relatively small limit should still allow a large number of objects. On the other hand we don't want the cache to start storing 200 different versions of a 200 MiB blob, as this could easily blow the entire address space of a 32 bit process. We evict OBJ_BLOB from the cache first (credit goes to Junio) as we want to favor OBJ_TREE within the cache. These are the objects that have the highest inflate() startup penalty, as they tend to be small and thus don't have that much of a chance to ammortize that penalty over the entire data.

* | Cast 64 bit off_t to 32 bit size_tShawn O. Pearce2007-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4. This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory. On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior. Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the -Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t(). In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms detect the wrapping and die if such a file is accessed. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* | Add core.symlinks to mark filesystems that do not support symbolic links.Johannes Sixt2007-03-02
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic link, it is impossible to check out the working copy. This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in the database (as long as an entry exists in the index). Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies on that an entry is a real symbolic link.
