Change the function signature of get_merge_bases_many() and get_merge_bases() to drop the cleanup parameter, so that the majority of the callers do not have to say ", 1" at the end. Give a new get_merge_bases_many_dirty() API to support only a few callers that know they do not need to spend cycles cleaning up the object flags. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Unfortunately, that interface provides only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no indication of the original length. For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to avoid malicious trickery. This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass NULL (there did not seem to be any obvious sites where we could avoid an immediate strlen() call, though perhaps with some further refactoring we could).

But we can shorten the code by just using get_commit_buffer. Note that the error cases are slightly different when read_sha1_file fails. get_commit_buffer will die() if the object cannot be loaded, or is a non-commit. For get_sha1_oneline, this will almost certainly never happen, as we will have just called parse_object (and if it does, it's probably worth complaining about). For record_author_date, the new behavior is probably better; we notify the user of the error instead of silently ignoring it. And because it's used only for sorting by author-date, somebody examining a corrupt repo can fallback to the regular traversal order.

However, since branch names can contain an @, we may also see "@foo@{upstream}". In this case, we check only the first @, and ignore the second. As a result, we do not find the upstream. We can solve this by iterating through all @-marks in the string, and seeing if any is a legitimate upstream or empty-at mark. Another strategy would be to parse from the right-hand side of the string. However, that does not work for the "empty_at" case, which allows "@@{upstream}". We need to find the left-most one in this case (and we then recurse as "HEAD@{upstream}"). Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

It takes two passes to parse the string: 1. It first considers the whole thing as a ref, which results in looking for the upstream of "HEAD:". 2. It finds the colon, parses "HEAD" as a tree-ish, and then finds the path "@{upstream}" in the tree. For a path that looks like a normal reflog (e.g., "HEAD:@{yesterday}"), the first pass is a no-op. We try to dwim_ref("HEAD:"), that returns zero refs, and we proceed with colon-parsing. For "HEAD:@{upstream}", though, the first pass ends up in interpret_upstream_mark, which tries to find the branch "HEAD:". When it sees that the branch does not exist, it actually dies rather than returning an error to the caller. As a result, we never make it to the second pass. One obvious way of fixing this would be to teach interpret_upstream_mark to simply report "no, this isn't an upstream" in such a case. However, that would make the error-reporting for legitimate upstream cases significantly worse. Something like "bogus@{upstream}" would simply report "unknown revision: bogus@{upstream}", while the current code diagnoses a wide variety of possible misconfigurations (no such branch, branch exists but does not have upstream, etc). However, we can take advantage of the fact that a branch name cannot contain a colon. Therefore even if we find an upstream mark, any prefix with a colon must mean that the upstream mark we found is actually a pathname, and should be disregarded completely. This patch implements that logic. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
| * | interpret_branch_name: always respect "namelen" parameterJeff King2014-01-15

If "namelen" is zero, we fallback to the NUL-terminated string-length of "name". However, it does not necessarily follow that if we have gotten a non-zero "namelen", it is the NUL-terminated string-length of "name". E.g., when get_sha1() is parsing "foo:bar", we will be asked to operate only on the first three characters. Yet in interpret_branch_name and its helpers, we use string functions like strchr() to operate on "name", looking past the length we were given. This can result in us mis-parsing object names. We should instead be limiting our search to "namelen" bytes. There are three distinct types of object names this patch addresses: - The intrepret_empty_at helper uses strchr to find the next @-expression after our potential empty-at. In an expression like "@:foo@bar", it erroneously thinks that the second "@" is relevant, even if we were asked only to look at the first character. This case is easy to trigger (and we test it in this patch). - When finding the initial @-mark for @{upstream}, we use strchr. This means we might treat "foo:@{upstream}" as the upstream for "foo:", even though we were asked only to look at "foo". We cannot test this one in practice, because it is masked by another bug (which is fixed in the next patch). - The interpret_nth_prior_checkout helper did not receive the name length at all. This turns out not to be a problem in practice, though, because its parsing is so limited: it always starts from the far-left of the string, and will not tolerate a colon (which is currently the only way to get a smaller-than-strlen "namelen"). However, it's still worth fixing to make the code more obviously correct, and to future-proof us against callers with more exotic buffers.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is useful to make sure we don't step outside the boundaries of what we are interpreting at the moment. For example while interpreting foobar@{u}~1, the job of interpret_branch_name() ends right before ~1, but there's no way to figure that out inside the function, unless the len argument is passed. So let's do that. Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

We could avoid these magic numbers by using skip_prefix. But taking a step back, we can realize that using the "commit_type" global is not really buying us anything. It is not ever going to change from being "commit" without causing severe breakage to existing uses. And even if it did change for some crazy reason, we would want to evaluate its effects on the "rev^{}" syntax, anyway. Let's just switch these to using a custom string literal, as we do for "rev^{object}". The resulting code is more robust to changes in the type strings, and is more readable.

At first glance this may not seem very useful, as commits, trees, and blobs cannot be peeled to a tag, and a tag would just peel to itself. However, this can be used to ensure that <rev> names a tag object: $ git rev-parse --verify v1.8.4^{tag} 04f013dc38d7512eadb915eba22efc414f18b869 $ git rev-parse --verify master^{tag} error: master^{tag}: expected tag type, but the object dereferences to tree type fatal: Needed a single revision Users can already ensure that <rev> is a tag object by checking the output of 'git cat-file -t <rev>', but: * users may expect <rev>^{tag} to exist given that <rev>^{commit}, <rev>^{tree}, and <rev>^{blob} all exist * this syntax is more convenient/natural in some circumstances Signed-off-by: Richard Hansen <rhansen@bbn.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit cdfd94837b27c220f70f032b596ea993d195488f, as it does not just apply to "@" (and forms with modifiers like @{u} applied to it), but also affects e.g. "refs/heads/@/foo", which it shouldn't. The basic idea of giving a short-hand might be good, and the topic can be retried later, but let's revert to avoid affecting existing use cases for now for the upcoming release.

In this instance, all of our input objects are 40-byte sha1 ids. However, cat-file has always allowed arbitrary revision specifiers, and feeds the result to get_sha1(). Fortunately, get_sha1() recognizes a 40-byte sha1 before doing any hard work trying to look up refs, meaning this scenario should end up spending very little time converting the input into an object sha1. However, since 798c35f (get_sha1: warn about full or short object names that look like refs, 2013-05-29), when we encounter this case, we spend the extra effort to do a refname lookup anyway, just to print a warning. This is further exacerbated by ca91993 (get_packed_ref_cache: reload packed-refs file when it changes, 2013-06-20), which makes individual ref lookup more expensive by requiring a stat() of the packed-refs file for each missing ref. With no patches, this is the time it takes to run: $ git rev-list --objects --all >objects $ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname)' <objects on the linux.git repository: real 1m13.494s user 0m25.924s sys 0m47.532s If we revert ca91993, the packed-refs up-to-date check, it gets a little better: real 0m54.697s user 0m21.692s sys 0m32.916s but we are still spending quite a bit of time on ref lookup (and we would not want to revert that patch, anyway, which has correctness issues). If we revert 798c35f, disabling the warning entirely, we get a much more reasonable time: real 0m7.452s user 0m6.836s sys 0m0.608s This patch does the moral equivalent of this final case (and gets similar speedups). We introduce a global flag that callers of get_sha1() can use to avoid paying the price for the warning. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
