| * date: use strbufs in date-formatting functionsJeff King2014-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many of the date functions write into fixed-size buffers. This is a minor pain, as we have to take special precautions, and frequently end up copying the result into a strbuf or heap-allocated buffer anyway (for which we sometimes use strcpy!). Let's instead teach parse_date, datestamp, etc to write to a strbuf. The obvious downside is that we might need to perform a heap allocation where we otherwise would not need to. However, it turns out that the only two new allocations required are: 1. In test-date.c, where we don't care about efficiency. 2. In determine_author_info, which is not performance critical (and where the use of a strbuf will help later refactoring).

* | config --global --edit: create a template file if neededMatthieu Moy2014-07-25
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the user has no ~/.gitconfig file, git config --global --edit used to launch an editor on an nonexistant file name. Instead, create a file with a default content before launching the editor. The template contains only commented-out entries, to save a few keystrokes for the user. If the values are guessed properly, the user will only have to uncomment the entries. Advanced users teaching newbies can create a minimalistic configuration faster for newbies. Beginners reading a tutorial advising to run "git config --global --edit" as a first step will be slightly more guided for their first contact with Git.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split_ident currently parses left to right. Given this input: Your Name <email@example.com> 123456789 -0500\n We assume the name starts the line and runs until the first "<". That starts the email address, which runs until the first ">". Everything after that is assumed to be the timestamp. This works fine in the normal case, but is easily broken by corrupted ident lines that contain an extra ">". Some examples seen in the wild are: 1. Name <email>-<> 123456789 -0500\n 2. Name <email> <Name<email>> 123456789 -0500\n 3. Name1 <email1>, Name2 <email2> 123456789 -0500\n Currently each of these produces some email address (which is not necessarily the one the user intended) and end up with a NULL date (which is generally interpreted as the epoch by "git log" and friends). But in each case we could get the correct timestamp simply by parsing from the right-hand side, looking backwards for the final ">", and then reading the timestamp from there. In general, it's a losing battle to try to automatically guess what the user meant with their broken crud. But this particular workaround is probably worth doing. One, it's dirt simple, and can't impact non-broken cases. Two, it doesn't catch a single breakage we've seen, but rather a large class of errors (i.e., any breakage inside the email angle brackets may affect the email, but won't spill over into the timestamp parsing). And three, the timestamp is arguably more valuable to get right, because it can affect correctness (e.g., in --until cutoffs). This patch implements the right-to-left scheme described above. We adjust the tests in t4212, which generate a commit with such a broken ident, and now gets the timestamp right. We also add a test that fsck continues to detect the breakage.

* | format-patch: print in-body "From" only when neededJeff King2013-09-20
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit a908047 taught format-patch the "--from" option, which places the author ident into an in-body from header, and uses the committer ident in the rfc822 from header. The documentation claims that it will omit the in-body header when it is the same as the rfc822 header, but the code never implemented that behavior. This patch completes the feature by comparing the two idents and doing nothing when they are the same (this is the same as simply omitting the in-body header, as the two are by definition indistinguishable in this case). This makes it reasonable to turn on "--from" all the time (if it matches your particular workflow), rather than only using it when exporting other people's patches.

* | ident: keep separate "explicit" flags for author and committerJeff King2012-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We keep track of whether the user ident was given to us explicitly, or if we guessed at it from system parameters like username and hostname. However, we kept only a single variable. This covers the common cases (because the author and committer will usually come from the same explicit source), but can miss two cases: 1. GIT_COMMITTER_* is set explicitly, but we fallback for GIT_AUTHOR. We claim the ident is explicit, even though the author is not. 2. GIT_AUTHOR_* is set and we ask for author ident, but not committer ident. We will claim the ident is implicit, even though it is explicit. This patch uses two variables instead of one, updates both when we set the "fallback" values, and updates them individually when we read from the environment. Rather than keep user_ident_sufficiently_given as a compatibility wrapper, we update the only two callers to check the committer_ident, which matches their intent and what was happening already.

When future commits add more quality checks on the identity, each of these callers would want to use those checks, too. Rather than modify each of them later to add a new flag, let's refactor the flag. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most callers want to see all of "$name <$email> $date", but a few want only limited parts, omitting the date, or even the name. We already have IDENT_NO_DATE to handle the date part, but there's not a good option for getting just the email. Callers have to done one of: 1. Call ident_default_email; this does not respect environment variables, nor does it promise to trim whitespace or other crud from the result. 2. Call git_{committer,author}_info; this returns the name and email, leaving the caller to parse out the wanted bits. This patch adds IDENT_NO_NAME; it stops short of adding IDENT_NO_EMAIL, as no callers want it (nor are likely to), and it complicates the error handling of the function. When no name is requested, the angle brackets (<>) around the email address are also omitted. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

It's more accurate to simply negate this and refer to it as "want_date", which will be less confusing when we add more NO_* flags. While we're touching this part of the code, let's move the call to ident_default_date() only when we are actually going to use it, not when we have NO_DATE set, or when we get a date from the environment.

Let's clean them up for the benefit of those callers. Furthermore, fmt_ident will look at the pre-trimmed value and decide whether to invoke ERROR_ON_NO_NAME; this check can be fooled by a name consisting only of spaces. Note that we only bother to clean up when we are pulling the information from gecos or from system files.

This patch simply uses the full hostname returned by gethostbyname. In the common case that the first part is the same as the unqualified hostname, the behavior is identical. And in the case that it is not the same, we are much more likely to be generating a valid name. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When getpwuid fails, we give a cute but cryptic message. While it makes sense if you know that getpwuid or identity functions are being called, this code is triggered behind the scenes by quite a few git commands these days (e.g., receive-pack on a remote server might use it for a reflog; the current message is hard to distinguish from an authentication error). Let's switch to something that gives a little more context. While we're at it, we can factor out all of the cut-and-pastes of the "you don't exist" message into a wrapper function. Rather than provide xgetpwuid, let's make it even more specific to just getting the passwd entry for the current uid. That's the only way we use getpwuid anyway, and it lets us make an even more specific error message. The current message also fails to mention errno. While the usual cause for getpwuid failing is that the user does not exist, mentioning errno makes it easier to diagnose these problems. Note that POSIX specifies that errno remain untouched if the passwd entry does not exist (but will be set on actual errors), whereas some systems will return ENOENT or similar for a missing entry. We handle both cases in our wrapper. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

While it's extremely unlikely that anybody ever hit these limits (after all, in such a case their parents must have hated them), we still had to deal with the error cases in our code. Converting these static buffers to strbufs lets us simplify the code and drop some error messages from the documentation that have confused some users. The conversion is mostly mechanical: replace string copies with strbuf equivalents, and access the strbuf.buf directly. There are a few exceptions: - copy_gecos and copy_email are the big winners in code reduction (since they no longer have to manage the string length manually) - git_ident_config wants to replace old versions of the default name (e.g., if we read the config multiple times), so it must reset+add to the strbuf instead of just adding Note that there is still one length limitation: the gethostname interface requires us to provide a static buffer, so we arbitrarily choose 1024 bytes for the hostname.

If it is blank and we don't die, then we fall back to the username from the passwd file. The current code writes the value into git_default_name. However, that's not necessarily correct, as the empty value might have come from git_default_name, or it might have been passed in. This leads to two potential problems: 1. If we are overriding an empty name in the passed-in value, then we may be overwriting a perfectly good name (from gitconfig or gecos) in the git_default_name buffer. Later calls to fmt_ident will end up using the fallback name, even though a better name was available. 2. If we override an empty gecos name, we end up with the fallback name in git_default_name. A later call that uses IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME will see the fallback name and think that it is a good name, instead of producing an error. In other words, a blank gecos name would cause an error with this code: git_committer_info(IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME); but not this: git_committer_info(0); git_committer_info(IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME); because in the latter case, the first call has polluted the name buffer. Instead, let's make the fallback a per-invocation variable. We can just use the pw->pw_name string directly, since it only needs to persist through the rest of the function (and we don't do any other getpwent calls). Note that while this solves (1) for future invocations of fmt_indent, the current invocation might use the fallback when it could in theory load a better value from git_default_name. However, by not passing IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME, the caller is indicating that it does not care too much about the name, anyway, so we don't bother; this is primarily about protecting future callers who do care.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before falling back to gethostname(), check /etc/mailname if GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL is not set in the environment or through config files. Only fall back if /etc/mailname cannot be opened or read. The /etc/mailname convention comes from Debian policy section 11.6 ("mail transport, delivery and user agents"), though maybe it could be useful sometimes on other machines, too. The lack of this support was noticed by various people in different ways: - Ian observed that git was choosing the address 'ian@anarres.relativity.greenend.org.uk' rather than 'ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk' as it should have done. - Jonathan noticed that operations like "git commit" were needlessly slow when using a resolver that was slow to handle reverse DNS lookups. Alas, after this patch, if /etc/mailname is set up and the [user] name and email configuration aren't, the committer email will not provide a charming reminder of which machine commits were made on any more. But I think it's worth it. Mechanics: the functionality of reading mailname goes in its own function, so people who care about other distros can easily add an implementation to a similar location without making copy_email() too long and losing clarity. While at it, we split out the fallback default logic that does gethostname(), too (rearranging it a little and adding a check for errors from gethostname while at it).

* | ident: die on bogus date formatJeff King2010-12-20
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the user gives "git commit --date=foobar", we silently ignore the --date flag. We should note the error. This patch puts the fix at the lowest level of fmt_ident, which means it also handles GIT_AUTHOR_DATE=foobar, as well. There are two down-sides to this approach: 1. Technically this breaks somebody doing something like "git commit --date=now", which happened to work because bogus data is the same as "now". Though we do explicitly handle the empty string, so anybody passing an empty variable through the environment will still work. If the error is too much, perhaps it can be downgraded to a warning? 2. The error checking happens _after_ the commit message is written, which can be annoying to the user. We can put explicit checks closer to the beginning of git-commit, but that feels a little hack-ish; suddenly git-commit has to care about how fmt_ident works. Maybe we could simply call fmt_ident earlier? Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | bb1ae3f (commit: Show committer if automatic, 2008-05-04) added a logic to check both name and email were given explicitly by the end user, but it assumed that fmt_ident() is never called before git_default_user_config() is called, which was fragile. The former calls setup_ident() and fills the "default" name and email, so the check in the config parser would have mistakenly said both are given even if only user.name was provided. Make the logic more robust by keeping track of name and email separately. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Acked-by: Santi Béjar <santi@agolina.net>

* Add backslash to list of 'crud' characters in real nameLinus Torvalds2008-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We remove crud characters at the beginning and end of real-names so that when we see email addresses like From: "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net> we drop the quotes around the name when we parse that and split it up into name and email. However, the list of crud characters was basically just a random list of common things that are found around names, and it didn't contain the backslash character that some insane scripts seem to use when quoting things. So now the kernel has a number of authors listed like Author: \"Rafael J. Wysocki\ <rjw@sisk.pl> because the author name had started out as From: \"Rafael J. Wysocki\" <rjw@sisk.pl> and the only "crud" character we noticed and removed was the final double-quote at the end. We should probably do better quote removal from names anyway, but this is the minimal obvious patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An earlier fix to the said commit was incomplete; it mixed up the meaning of the flag parameter passed to the internal fmt_ident() function, so this corrects it. git_author_info() and git_committer_info() can be told to issue a warning when no usable user information is found, and optionally can be told to error out. Operations that actually use the information to record a new commit or a tag will still error out, but the caller to leave reflog record will just silently use bogus user information. Not warning on misconfigured user information while writing a reflog entry is somewhat debatable, but it is probably nicer to the users to silently let it pass, because the only information you are losing is who checked out the branch. * git_author_info() and git_committer_info() used to take 1 (positive int) to error out with a warning on misconfiguration; this is now signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME. * These functions used to take -1 (negative int) to warn but continue; this is now signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_WARN_ON_NO_NAME. * fmt_ident() function implements the above error reporting behaviour common to git_author_info() and git_committer_info(). A symbolic constant IDENT_NO_DATE can be or'ed in to the flag parameter to make it return only the "Name <email@address.xz>". * fmt_name() is a thin wrapper around fmt_ident() that always passes IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME and IDENT_NO_DATE.
