* Make pack creation always fsync() the resultLinus Torvalds2008-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | This means that we can depend on packs always being stable on disk, simplifying a lot of the object serialization worries. And unlike loose objects, serializing pack creation IO isn't going to be a performance killer.

* Provide git_config with a callback-data parameterJohannes Schindelin2008-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | git_config() only had a function parameter, but no callback data parameter. This assumes that all callback functions only modify global variables. With this patch, every callback gets a void * parameter, and it is hoped that this will help the libification effort.

| * nicer display of thin pack completionNicolas Pitre2007-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the same spirit of prettifying Git's output display for mere mortals, here's a simple extension to the progress API allowing for a final message to be provided when terminating a progress line, and use it for the display of the number of objects needed to complete a thin pack, saving yet one more line of screen display.

| * make display of total transferred more accurateNicolas Pitre2007-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The throughput display needs a delay period before accounting and displaying anything. Yet it might be called after some amount of data has already been transferred. The display of total data is therefore accounted late and therefore smaller than the reality. Let's call display_throughput() with an absolute amount of transferred data instead of a relative number, and let the throughput code find the relative amount of data by itself as needed. This way the displayed total is always exact. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is a good idea to use pack index version 2 all the time since it has proper protection against propagation of certain pack corruptions when repacking which is not possible with index version 1, as demonstrated in test t5302.

* | fix const issues with some functionsNicolas Pitre2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two functions, namely write_idx_file() and open_pack_file(), currently return a const pointer. However that pointer is either a copy of the first argument, or set to a malloc'd buffer when that first argument is null. In the later case it is wrong to qualify that pointer as const since ownership of the buffer is transferred to the caller to dispose of, and obviously the free() function is not meant to be passed const pointers. Making the return pointer not const causes a warning when the first argument is returned since that argument is also marked const. The correct thing to do is therefore to remove the const qualifiers, avoiding the need for ugly casts only to silence some warnings.

* don't ever allow SHA1 collisions to exist by fetching a packNicolas Pitre2007-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Waaaaaaay back Git was considered to be secure as it never overwrote an object it already had. This was ensured by always unpacking the packfile received over the network (both in fetch and receive-pack) and our already existing logic to not create a loose object for an object we already have. Lately however we keep "large-ish" packfiles on both fetch and push by running them through index-pack instead of unpack-objects. This would let an attacker perform a birthday attack. How? Assume the attacker knows a SHA-1 that has two different data streams. He knows the client is likely to have the "good" one. So he sends the "evil" variant to the other end as part of a "large-ish" packfile. The recipient keeps that packfile, and indexes it. Now since this is a birthday attack there is a SHA-1 collision; two objects exist in the repository with the same SHA-1. They have *very* different data streams. One of them is "evil". Currently the poor recipient cannot tell the two objects apart, short of by examining the timestamp of the packfiles. But lets say the recipient repacks before he realizes he's been attacked. We may wind up packing the "evil" version of the object, and deleting the "good" one. This is made *even more likely* by Junio's recent rearrange_packed_git patch (b867092f). It is extremely unlikely for a SHA1 collisions to occur, but if it ever happens with a remote (hence untrusted) object we simply must not let the fetch succeed. Normally received packs should not contain objects we already have. But when they do we must ensure duplicated objects with the same SHA1 actually contain the same data.

* General const correctness fixesShawn O. Pearce2007-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We shouldn't attempt to assign constant strings into char*, as the string is not writable at runtime. Likewise we should always be treating unsigned values as unsigned values, not as signed values. Most of these are very straightforward. The only exception is the (unnecessary) xstrdup/free in builtin-branch.c for the detached head case. Since this is a user-level interactive type program and that particular code path is executed no more than once, I feel that the extra xstrdup call is well worth the easy elimination of this warning.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some workflows require use of repositories on machines that cannot be connected, preventing use of git-fetch / git-push to transport objects and references between the repositories. git-bundle provides an alternate transport mechanism, effectively allowing git-fetch and git-pull to operate using sneakernet transport. `git-bundle create` allows the user to create a bundle containing one or more branches or tags, but with specified basis assumed to exist on the target repository. At the receiving end, git-bundle acts like git-fetch-pack, allowing the user to invoke git-fetch or git-pull using the bundle file as the URL. git-fetch and git-ls-remote determine they have a bundle URL by checking that the URL points to a file, but are otherwise unchanged in operation with bundles. The original patch was done by Mark Levedahl <mdl123@verizon.net>. It was updated to make git-bundle a builtin, and get rid of the tar format: now, the first line is supposed to say "# v2 git bundle", the next lines either contain a prerequisite ("-" followed by the hash of the needed commit), or a ref (the hash of a commit, followed by the name of the ref), and finally the pack. As a result, the bundle argument can be "-" now. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
