* notes: allow treeish expressions as notes refMike Hommey2016-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | init_notes() is the main point of entry to the notes API. It ensures that the input can be used as ref, because it needs a ref to update to store notes tree after modifying it. There however are many use cases where notes tree is only read, e.g. "git log --notes=...". Any notes-shaped treeish could be used for such purpose, but it is not allowed due to existing restriction. Allow treeish expressions to be used in the case the notes tree is going to be used without write "permissions". Add a flag to distinguish whether the notes tree is intended to be used read-only, or will be updated. With this change, operations that use notes read-only can be fed any notes-shaped tree-ish can be used, e.g. git log --notes=notes@{1}.

| * replace dangerous uses of strbuf_attachJeff King2014-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is not a good idea to strbuf_attach an arbitrary pointer just because a function you are calling wants a strbuf. Attaching implies a transfer of memory ownership; if anyone were to modify or release the resulting strbuf, we would free() the pointer, leading to possible problems: 1. Other users of the original pointer might access freed memory. 2. The pointer might not be the start of a malloc'd area, so calling free() on it in the first place would be wrong. In the two cases modified here, we are fortunate that nobody touches the strbuf once it is attached, but it is an accident waiting to happen. Since the previous commit, commit_tree and friends take a pointer/buf pair, so we can just do away with the strbufs entirely.

| * commit_tree: take a pointer/len pair rather than a const strbufJeff King2014-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While strbufs are pretty common throughout our code, it is more flexible for functions to take a pointer/len pair than a strbuf. It's easy to turn a strbuf into such a pair (by dereferencing its members), but less easy to go the other way (you can strbuf_attach, but that has implications about memory ownership). This patch teaches commit_tree (and its associated callers and sub-functions) to take such a pair for the commit message rather than a strbuf. This makes passing the buffer around slightly more verbose, but means we can get rid of some dangerous strbuf_attach calls in the next patch.

If we place it at the end of the log message, we would need to teach "git log" and friends to strip the signature block with an option. - Teaching new versions of "git log" and "gitk" to optionally verify and show signatures is cleaner if we structurally know where the signature block is (instead of scanning in the commit log message). - The signature needs to be stripped upon various commit rewriting operations, e.g. rebase, filter-branch, etc. They all already ignore unknown headers, but if we place signature in the log message, all of these tools (and third-party tools) also need to learn how a signature block would look like. - When we added the optional encoding header, all the tools (both in tree and third-party) that acts on the raw commit object should have been fixed to ignore headers they do not understand, so it is not like that new header would be more likely to break than extra text in the commit. A commit made with the above sample sequence would look like this: $ git cat-file commit HEAD tree 3cd71d90e3db4136e5260ab54599791c4f883b9d parent b87755351a47b09cb27d6913e6e0e17e6254a4d4 author Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 1317862251 -0700 committer Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 1317862251 -0700 gpgsig -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJOjPtrAAoJELC16IaWr+bL4TMP/RSe2Y/jYnCkds9unO5JEnfG ... =dt98 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- foo but "git log" (unless you ask for it with --pretty=raw) output is not cluttered with the signature information.

* | Convert commit_tree() to take strbuf as messageNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2011-12-15
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | There wan't a way for commit_tree() to notice if the message the caller prepared contained a NUL byte, as it did not take the length of the message as a parameter. Use a pointer to a strbuf instead, so that we can either choose to allow low-level plumbing commands to make commits that contain NUL byte in its message, or forbid NUL everywhere by adding the check in commit_tree(), in later patches.

* notes.h/c: Propagate combine_notes_fn return value to add_note() and beyondJohan Herland2010-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The combine_notes_fn functions uses a non-zero return value to indicate failure. However, this return value was converted to a call to die() in note_tree_insert(). Instead, propagate this return value out to add_note(), and return it from there to enable the caller to handle errors appropriately. Existing add_note() callers are updated to die() upon failure, thus preserving the current behaviour. The only exceptions are copy_note() and notes_cache_put() where we are able to propagate the add_note() return value instead. This patch has been improved by the following contributions: - Jonathan Nieder: Future-proof by always checking add_note() return value - Jonathan Nieder: Improve clarity of final if-condition in note_tree_insert() Thanks-to: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* introduce notes-cache interfaceJeff King2010-04-01
Notes provide a fast lookup mechanism for data keyed by sha1. This is ideal for caching certain operations, like textconv filters. This patch builds some infrastructure to make it simpler to use notes trees as caches. In particular, caches: 1. don't have arbitrary commit messages. They store a cache validity string in the commit, and clear the tree when the cache validity string changes. 2. don't keep any commit history. The accumulated history of a a cache is just useless cruft. 3. use a looser form of locking for ref updates. If two processes try to write to the cache simultaneously, it is OK if one overwrites the other, losing some changes. It's just a cache, so we will just end up with an extra miss.
