Junio C Hamano 24041d6be5 setup.c: do not feed NULL to "%.*s" even with precision 0
A recent update 75faa45a (replace trivial malloc + sprintf / strcpy
calls with xstrfmt, 2015-09-24) rewrote

	prepare an empty buffer
	if (len)
        	append the first len bytes of "prefix" to the buffer
	append "path" to the buffer

that computed "path", optionally prefixed by "prefix", into

	xstrfmt("%.*s%s", len, prefix, path);

However, passing a NULL pointer to the printf(3) family of functions
to format it with %s conversion, even with the precision set to 0,
i.e.

	xstrfmt("%.*s", 0, NULL)

yields undefined results, at least on some platforms.

Avoid this problem by substituting prefix with "" when len==0, as
prefix can legally be NULL in that case.  This would mimick the
intent of the original code better.

Jeff King 652f18ee87 setup: unify repository version callbacks
Once upon a time, check_repository_format_gently would parse
the config with a single callback, and that callback would
set up a bunch of global variables. But now that we have
separate workdirs, we have to be more careful. Commit
31e26eb (setup.c: support multi-checkout repo setup,
2014-11-30) introduced a reduced callback which omits some
values like core.worktree. In the "main" callback we call
the reduced one, and then add back in the missing variables.

Now that we have split the config-parsing from the munging
of the global variables, we can do it all with a single
callback, and keep all of the "are we in a separate workdir"
logic together.

Jeff King 2cc7c2c737 setup: refactor repo format reading and verification
When we want to know if we're in a git repository of
reasonable vintage, we can call check_repository_format_gently(),
which does three things:

  1. Reads the config from the .git/config file.

  2. Verifies that the version info we read is sane.

  3. Writes some global variables based on this.

There are a few things we could improve here.

One is that steps 1 and 3 happen together. So if the
verification in step 2 fails, we still clobber the global
variables. This is especially bad if we go on to try another
repository directory; we may end up with a state of mixed
config variables.

The second is there's no way to ask about the repository
version for anything besides the main repository we're in.
git-init wants to do this, and it's possible that we would
want to start doing so for submodules (e.g., to find out
which ref backend they're using).

We can improve both by splitting the first two steps into
separate functions. Now check_repository_format_gently()
calls out to steps 1 and 2, and does 3 only if step 2
succeeds.

Note that the public interface for read_repository_format()
and what check_repository_format_gently() needs from it are
not quite the same, leading us to have an extra
read_repository_format_1() helper. The extra needs from
check_repository_format_gently() will go away in a future
patch, and we can simplify this then to just the public
interface.

Jeff King 21627f9b6d check_repository_format_gently: stop using git_config_early
There's a chicken-and-egg problem with using the regular
git_config during the repository setup process. We get
around it here by using a special interface that lets us
specify the per-repo config, and avoid calling
git_pathdup().

But this interface doesn't actually make sense. It will look
in the system and per-user config, too; we definitely would
not want to accept a core.repositoryformatversion from
there.

The git_config_from_file interface is a better match, as it
lets us look at a single file.

Jeff King ae5f67763b lazily load core.sharedrepository
The "shared_repository" config is loaded as part of
check_repository_format_version, but it's not quite like the
other values we check there. Something like
core.repositoryformatversion only makes sense in per-repo
config, but core.sharedrepository can be set in a per-user
config (e.g., to make all "git init" invocations shared by
default).

So it would make more sense as part of git_default_config.
Commit 457f06d (Introduce core.sharedrepository, 2005-12-22)
says:

  [...]the config variable is set in the function which
  checks the repository format. If this were done in
  git_default_config instead, a lot of programs would need
  to be modified to call git_config(git_default_config)
  first.

This is still the case today, but we have one extra trick up
our sleeve. Now that we have the git_configset
infrastructure, it's not so expensive for us to ask for a
single value. So we can simply lazy-load it on demand.

This should be OK to do in general. There are some problems
with loading config before setup_git_directory() is called,
but we shouldn't be accessing the value before then (if we
were, then it would already be broken, as the variable would
not have been set by check_repository_format_version!). The
trickiest caller is git-init, but it handles the values
manually itself.

Jeff King 7875acb6ec wrap shared_repository global in get/set accessors
It would be useful to control access to the global
shared_repository, so that we can lazily load its config.
The first step to doing so is to make sure all access
goes through a set of functions.

This step is purely mechanical, and should result in no

Jeff King f1c126bd8b setup: set startup_info->have_repository more reliably
When setup_git_directory() is called, we set a flag in
startup_info to indicate we have a repository. But there are
a few other mechanisms by which we might set up a repo:

  1. When creating a new repository via init_db(), we
     transition from no-repo to being in a repo. We should
     tweak this flag at that moment.

  2. In enter_repo(), a stricter form of
     setup_git_directory() used by server-side programs, we
     check the repository format config. After doing so, we
     know we're in a repository, and can set the flag.

With these changes, library code can now reliably tell
whether we are in a repository and act accordingly. We'll
leave the "prefix" field as NULL, which is what happens when
setup_git_directory() finds there is no prefix.

Jeff King 46c3cd44d7 setup: make startup_info available everywhere
Commit a60645f (setup: remember whether repository was
found, 2010-08-05) introduced the startup_info structure,
which records some parts of the setup_git_directory()
process (notably, whether we actually found a repository or
not).

One of the uses of this data is for functions to behave
appropriately based on whether we are in a repo. But the
startup_info struct is just a pointer to storage provided by
the main program, and the only program that sets it up is
the git.c wrapper. Thus builtins have access to
startup_info, but externally linked programs do not.

Worse, library code which is accessible from both has to be
careful about accessing startup_info. This can be used to
trigger a die("BUG") via get_sha1():

	$ git fast-import <<-\EOF
	tag foo
	from HEAD:./whatever
	EOF

	fatal: BUG: startup_info struct is not initialized.

Obviously that's fairly nonsensical input to feed to
fast-import, but we should never hit a die("BUG"). And there
may be other ways to trigger it if other non-builtins
resolve sha1s.

So let's point the storage for startup_info to a static
variable in setup.c, making it available to all users of the
library code. We _could_ turn startup_info into a regular
extern struct, but doing so would mean tweaking all of the
existing use sites. So let's leave the pointer indirection
in place.  We can, however, drop any checks for NULL, as
they will always be false (and likewise, we can drop the
test covering this case, which was a rather artificial
situation using one of the test-* programs).

Jeff King 3733e69464 use xmallocz to avoid size arithmetic
We frequently allocate strings as xmalloc(len + 1), where
the extra 1 is for the NUL terminator. This can be done more
simply with xmallocz, which also checks for integer
overflow.

There's no case where switching xmalloc(n+1) to xmallocz(n)
is wrong; the result is the same length, and malloc made no
guarantees about what was in the buffer anyway. But in some
cases, we can stop manually placing NUL at the end of the
allocated buffer. But that's only safe if it's clear that
the contents will always fill the buffer.

In each case where this patch does so, I manually examined
the control flow, and I tried to err on the side of caution.

Jeff King df714f81a7 check_filename: tighten dwim-wildcard ambiguity
When specifying both revisions and pathnames, we allow
"<rev> -- <pathspec>" to be spelled without the "--" as long
as it is not ambiguous. The original logic was something
like:

  1. Resolve each item with get_sha1(). If successful,
     we know it can be a <rev>. Verify that it _isn't_ a
     filename, using verify_non_filename(), and complain of
     ambiguity otherwise.

  2. If get_sha1() didn't succeed, make sure that it _is_
     a file, using verify_filename(). If not, complain
     that it is neither a <rev> nor a <pathspec>.

Both verify_filename() and verify_non_filename() rely on
check_filename(), which definitely said "yes, this is a
file" or "no, it is not" using lstat().

Commit 28fcc0b (pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when
wildcard is used, 2015-05-02) introduced a convenience
feature: check_filename() will consider anything with
wildcard meta-characters as a possible filename, without
even checking the filesystem.

This works well for case 2. For such a wildcard, we would
previously have died and said "it is neither". Post-28fcc0b,
we assume it's a pathspec and proceed.

But it makes some instances of case 1 worse. We may have an
extended sha1 expression that contains meta-characters
(e.g., "HEAD^{/foo.*bar}"), and we now complain that it's
also a filename, due to the wildcard characters (even though
that wildcard would not match anything in the filesystem).

One solution would be to actually expand the pathname and
see if it matches anything on the filesystem. But that's
potentially expensive, and we do not have to be so rigorous
for this DWIM magic (if you want rigor, use "--").

Instead, we can just use different rules for cases 1 and 2.
When we know something is a rev, we will complain only if it
meets a much higher standard for "this is also a file";
namely that it actually exists in the filesystem. Case 2
remains the same: we use the looser "it could be a filename"
standard introduced by 28fcc0b.

We can accomplish this by pulling the wildcard logic out of
check_filename() and putting it into verify_filename(). Its
partner verify_non_filename() does not need a change, since
check_filename() goes back to implementing the "higher
standard".

Besides these two callers of check_filename(), there is one
other: git-checkout does a similar DWIM itself. It hits this
code path only after get_sha1() has returned failure, making
it case 2, which gets the special wildcard treatment.

Note that we drop the tests in t2019 in favor of a more
complete set in t6133. t2019 was not the right place for
them (it's about refname ambiguity, not dwim parsing
ambiguity), and the second test explicitly checked for the
opposite result of the case we are fixing here (which didn't
really make any sense; as shown by the test_must_fail in the
test, it would only serve to annoy people).

Jeff King ffd036b128 clean: make is_git_repository a public function
We have always had is_git_directory(), for looking at a
specific directory to see if it contains a git repo. In
0179ca7 (clean: improve performance when removing lots of

However, the fix in 0179ca7 needs to be applied other
places, too. Let's make this new helper globally available.
We need to give it a better name, though, to avoid confusion
with is_git_directory(). This patch does that, documents
both functions with a comment to reduce confusion, and
removes the clean-specific references in the comments.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 618244e160 worktree: stop supporting moving worktrees manually
The current update_linked_gitdir() has a bug that can create "gitdir"
file in non-multi-worktree setup. Worse, sometimes it can write relative
path to "gitdir" file, which will not work (e.g. "git worktree list"
will display the worktree's location incorrectly)

Instead of fixing this, we step back a bit. The original design was
probably not well thought out. For now, if the user manually moves a
worktree, they have to fix up "gitdir" file manually or the worktree
will get pruned.

Jeff King 067fbd4105 introduce "preciousObjects" repository extension
If this extension is used in a repository, then no
operations should run which may drop objects from the object
storage. This can be useful if you are sharing that storage
with other repositories whose refs you cannot see.

For instance, if you do:

  $ git clone -s parent child
  $ git -C parent config extensions.preciousObjects true
  $ git -C parent config core.repositoryformatversion 1

you now have additional safety when running git in the
parent repository. Prunes and repacks will bail with an
error, and `git gc` will skip those operations (it will
continue to pack refs and do other non-object operations).
Older versions of git, when run in the repository, will
fail on every operation.

Note that we do not set the preciousObjects extension by
default when doing a "clone -s", as doing so breaks
backwards compatibility. It is a decision the user should
make explicitly.

Jeff King 00a09d57eb introduce "extensions" form of core.repositoryformatversion
Normally we try to avoid bumps of the whole-repository
core.repositoryformatversion field. However, it is
unavoidable if we want to safely change certain aspects of
git in a backwards-incompatible way (e.g., modifying the set
of ref tips that we must traverse to generate a list of
unreachable, safe-to-prune objects).

If we were to bump the repository version for every such
change, then any implementation understanding version `X`
would also have to understand `X-1`, `X-2`, and so forth,
even though the incompatibilities may be in orthogonal parts
of the system, and there is otherwise no reason we cannot
implement one without the other (or more importantly, that
the user cannot choose to use one feature without the other,
weighing the tradeoff in compatibility only for that
particular feature).

This patch documents the existing repositoryformatversion
strategy and introduces a new format, "1", which lets a
repository specify that it must run with an arbitrary set of
extensions. This can be used, for example:

 - to inform git that the objects should not be pruned based
   only on the reachability of the ref tips (e.g, because it
   has "clone --shared" children)

 - that the refs are stored in a format besides the usual
   "refs" and "packed-refs" directories

Because we bump to format "1", and because format "1"
requires that a running git knows about any extensions
mentioned, we know that older versions of the code will not
do something dangerous when confronted with these new
formats.

For example, if the user chooses to use database storage for
refs, they may set the "extensions.refbackend" config to
"db". Older versions of git will not understand format "1"
and bail. Versions of git which understand "1" but do not
know about "refbackend", or which know about "refbackend"
but not about the "db" backend, will refuse to run. This is
annoying, of course, but much better than the alternative of
claiming that there are no refs in the repository, or
writing to a location that other implementations will not
read.

Note that we are only defining the rules for format 1 here.
We do not ever write format 1 ourselves; it is a tool that
is meant to be used by users and future extensions to
provide safety with older implementations.

Jeff King fada767463 setup_git_directory: delay core.bare/core.worktree errors
If both core.bare and core.worktree are set, we complain
about the bogus config and die. Dying is good, because it
avoids commands running and doing damage in a potentially
incorrect setup. But dying _there_ is bad, because it means
that commands which do not even care about the work tree
cannot run. This can make repairing the situation harder:

  [setup]
  $ git config core.bare true
  $ git config core.worktree /some/path

  [OK, expected.]
  $ git status
  fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense

  [Hrm...]
  $ git config --unset core.worktree
  fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense

  [Nope...]
  $ git config --edit
  fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense

  [Gaaah.]
  $ git help config
  fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense

Instead, let's issue a warning about the bogus config when
we notice it (i.e., for all commands), but only die when the
command tries to use the work tree (by calling setup_work_tree).
So we now get:

  $ git status
  warning: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense
  fatal: unable to set up work tree using invalid config

  $ git config --unset core.worktree
  warning: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense

We have to update t1510 to accomodate this; it uses
symbolic-ref to check whether the configuration works or
not, but of course that command does not use the working
tree. Instead, we switch it to use `git status`, as it
requires a work-tree, does not need any special setup, and
is read-only (so a failure will not adversely affect further
tests).

In addition, we add a new test that checks the desired
behavior (i.e., that running "git config" with the bogus
config does in fact work).

A heuristic to help the "git <cmd> <revs> <pathspec>" command line
convention to catch mistyped paths is to make sure all the non-rev
parameters in the later part of the command line are names of the
files in the working tree, but that means "git grep $str -- \*.c"
must always be disambiguated with "--", because nobody sane will

Duy Nguyen 28fcc0b71a pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is used
When "--" is lacking from the command line and a command can take
both revs and paths, the idea is if an argument can be seen as both
an extended SHA-1 and a path, then "--" is required or git refuses
to continue. It's currently implemented as:

 (1) if an argument is rev, then it must not exist in worktree

 (2) else, it must exist in worktree

 (3) else, "--" is required.

These rules work for literal paths, but when non-literal pathspec is
involved, it almost always requires the user to add "--" because it
fails (2) and (1) is really rarely met (take "*.c" for example, (1)
is met if there is a ref named "*.c").

This patch modifies the rules a bit by considering any valid (*)
wildcard pathspec "exist in worktree". The rules become:

 (1) if an arg is a rev, then it must either exist in worktree or
     not be a valid wildcard pathspec.

 (2) else, it either exists in worktree or is a wildcard pathspec

 (3) else, "--" is required.

With the new rules, "--" is not needed most of the time when
wildcard pathspec is involved.

(alias R=$GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/<id>)

 - linked checkouts are supposed to keep its location in $R/gitdir up

 - linked checkouts are supposed to update mtime of $R/gitdir. If
   $R/gitdir's mtime is older than a limit, and it points to nowhere,
   worktrees/<id> is to be pruned.

 - If $R/locked exists, worktrees/<id> is not supposed to be pruned. If
   $R/locked exists and $R/gitdir's mtime is older than a really long
   limit, warn about old unused repo.

 - "git checkout --to" is supposed to make a hard link named $R/link
   pointing to the .git file on supported file systems to help detect
   the user manually deleting the checkout. If $R/link exists and its
   link count is greated than 1, the repo is kept.

Tanay Abhra 3c8687a73e add config_set API for caching config-like files
Currently `git_config()` uses a callback mechanism and file rereads for
config values. Due to this approach, it is not uncommon for the config
files to be parsed several times during the run of a git program, with
different callbacks picking out different variables useful to themselves.

Add a `config_set`, that can be used to construct an in-memory cache for
config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`,
`~/.gitconfig` etc.). Add two external functions `git_configset_get_value`
and `git_configset_get_value_multi` for querying from the config sets.
`git_configset_get_value` follows `last one wins` semantic (i.e. if there
are multiple matches for the queried key in the files of the configset the
value returned will be the last entry in `value_list`).
`git_configset_get_value_multi` returns a list of values sorted in order of
increasing priority (i.e. last match will be at the end of the list). Add
type specific query functions like `git_configset_get_bool` and similar.

Add a default `config_set`, `the_config_set` to cache all key-value pairs
read from usual config files (repo specific .git/config, user wide
~/.gitconfig, XDG config and the global /etc/gitconfig). `the_config_set`
is populated using `git_config()`.

Add two external functions `git_config_get_value` and
`git_config_get_value_multi` for querying in a non-callback manner from
`the_config_set`. Also, add type specific query functions that are
implemented as a thin wrapper around the `config_set` API.

2014-05-02 13:11:03 -07:00
Martin Erik Werner 6127ff63cf setup: fix windows path buffer over-stepping
Fix a buffer over-stepping issue triggered by providing an absolute path
that is similar to the work tree path.

abspath_part_inside_repo() may currently increment the path pointer by
offset_1st_component() + wtlen, which is too much, since
offset_1st_component() is a subset of wtlen.

For the *nix-style prefix '/', this does (by luck) not cause any issues,
since offset_1st_component() is 1 and there will always be a '/' or '\0'
that can "absorb" this.

In the case of DOS-style prefixes though, the offset_1st_component() is
3 and this can potentially over-step the string buffer. For example if

    work_tree = "c:/r"
    path      = "c:/rl"

Then wtlen is 4, and incrementing the path pointer by (3 + 4) would
end up 2 bytes outside a string buffer of length 6.

Similarly if

    work_tree = "c:/r"
    path      = "c:/rl/d/a"

Then (since the loop starts by also incrementing the pointer one step),
this would mean that the function would miss checking if "c:/rl/d" could
be the work_tree, arguably this is unlikely though, since it would only
be possible with symlinks on windows.

Fix this by simply avoiding to increment by offset_1st_component() and
wtlen at the same time.

Martin Erik Werner 655ee9ea3e setup: don't dereference in-tree symlinks for absolute paths
The prefix_path_gently() function currently applies real_path to
everything if given an absolute path, dereferencing symlinks both
outside and inside the work tree.

This causes most high-level functions to misbehave when acting on
symlinks given via absolute paths. For example

	$ git add /dir/repo/symlink

attempts to add the target of the symlink rather than the symlink
itself, which is usually not what the user intends to do.

In order to manipulate symlinks in the work tree using absolute paths,
symlinks should only be dereferenced outside the work tree.

Modify the prefix_path_gently() to first normalize the path in order to
make sure path levels are separated by '/', then pass the result to
'abspath_part_inside_repo' to find the part inside the work tree
(without dereferencing any symlinks inside the work tree).

For absolute paths, prefix_path_gently() did not, nor does now do, any
actual prefixing, hence the result from abspath_part_in_repo() is
returned as-is.

Fixes t0060-82 and t3004-5.

In order to extract the part of an absolute path which lies inside the

Add an abspath_part_inside_repo() function which first checks if the
work tree is already the prefix, then incrementally checks each path
level by temporarily NUL-terminating at each '/' and comparing against
the work tree path. If a match is found, it overwrites the input path
with the remainder past the work tree (which will be the part inside the
work tree).

This function is currently only intended for use in
'prefix_path_gently'.

Using a relative_path as git_dir first appears in v1.5.6-1-g044bbbc.
It will make git_dir shorter only if git_dir is inside work_tree,
and this will increase performance. But my last refactor effort on
relative_path function (commit v1.8.3-rc2-12-ge02ca72) changed that.
Always use relative_path as git_dir may bring troubles like

Because new relative_path is a combination of original relative_path
from path.c and original path_relative from quote.c, so in order to
restore the origin implementation, save the original relative_path
as remove_leading_path, and call it in setup.c.

Thomas Rast 1d999ddd1d daemon/shell: refactor redirection of 0/1/2 from /dev/null
Both daemon.c and shell.c contain logic to open FDs 0/1/2 from
/dev/null if they are not already open.  Move the function in daemon.c
to setup.c and use it in shell.c, too.

While there, remove a 'not' that inverted the meaning of the comment.
The point is indeed to *avoid* messing up.

Prepending prefix to pathspec is a trick to workaround the fact that

at worktree's root. The prefix part should always be treated as

Jiang Xin e02ca72f70 path.c: refactor relative_path(), not only strip prefix
Original design of relative_path() is simple, just strip the prefix
(*base) from the absolute path (*abs).

In most cases, we need a real relative path, such as: ../foo,
../../bar.  That's why there is another reimplementation
(path_relative()) in quote.c.

Borrow some codes from path_relative() in quote.c to refactor
relative_path() in path.c, so that it could return real relative
path, and user can reuse this function without reimplementing
his/her own.  The function path_relative() in quote.c will be
substituted, and I would use the new relative_path() function when
implementing the interactive git-clean later.

Different results for relative_path() before and after this refactor:

    abs path  base path  relative (original)  relative (refactor)
    ========  =========  ===================  ===================
    /a/b      /a/b       .                    ./
    /a/b/     /a/b       .                    ./

    /x/y      /a/b/      /x/y                 ../../x/y

    (null)    /a/b       (segfault)           ./

You may notice that return value "." has been changed to "./".
It is because:

 * Function quote_path_relative() in quote.c will show the relative
   path as "./" if abs(in) and base(prefix) are the same.

 * Function relative_path() is called only once (in setup.c), and
   it will be OK for the return value as "./" instead of ".".

Jeff King 2cd83d10bb setup: suppress implicit "." work-tree for bare repos
If an explicit GIT_DIR is given without a working tree, we
implicitly assume that the current working directory should
be used as the working tree. E.g.,:

  GIT_DIR=/some/repo.git git status

would compare against the cwd.

Unfortunately, we fool this rule for sub-invocations of git
by setting GIT_DIR internally ourselves. For example:

  git init foo
  cd foo/.git
  git status ;# fails, as we expect
  git config alias.st status
  git status ;# does not fail, but should

What happens is that we run setup_git_directory when doing
alias lookup (since we need to see the config), set GIT_DIR
as a result, and then leave GIT_WORK_TREE blank (because we
do not have one). Then when we actually run the status
command, we do setup_git_directory again, which sees our
explicit GIT_DIR and uses the cwd as an implicit worktree.

It's tempting to argue that we should be suppressing that
second invocation of setup_git_directory, as it could use
the values we already found in memory. However, the problem
still exists for sub-processes (e.g., if "git status" were
an external command).

You can see another example with the "--bare" option, which
sets GIT_DIR explicitly. For example:

  git init foo
  cd foo/.git
  git status ;# fails
  git --bare status ;# does NOT fail

We need some way of telling sub-processes "even though
GIT_DIR is set, do not use cwd as an implicit working tree".
We could do it by putting a special token into
GIT_WORK_TREE, but the obvious choice (an empty string) has
some portability problems.

Instead, we add a new boolean variable, GIT_IMPLICIT_WORK_TREE,
which suppresses the use of cwd as a working tree when
GIT_DIR is set. We trigger the new variable when we know we
are in a bare setting.

The variable is left intentionally undocumented, as this is
an internal detail (for now, anyway). If somebody comes up
with a good alternate use for it, and once we are confident
we have shaken any bugs out of it, we can consider promoting
it further.

Jeff King a6f7f9a325 environment: add GIT_PREFIX to local_repo_env
The GIT_PREFIX variable is set based on our location within
the working tree. It should therefore be cleared whenever
GIT_WORK_TREE is cleared.

In practice, this doesn't cause any bugs, because none of
the sub-programs we invoke with local_repo_env cleared
actually care about GIT_PREFIX. But this is the right thing
to do, and future proofs us against that assumption changing.

While we're at it, let's define a GIT_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT
macro; this avoids repetition of the string literal, which
can help catch any spelling mistakes in the code.

2013-02-27 09:47:28 -08:00
Michael Haggerty 7ec30aaa5b Provide a mechanism to turn off symlink resolution in ceiling paths
Commit 1b77d83cab 'setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks
in ceiling paths' changed the setup code to resolve symlinks in the
entries in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES.  Because those entries are
compared textually to the symlink-resolved current directory, an
entry in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES that contained a symlink would have
no effect.  It was known that this could cause performance problems
if the symlink resolution *itself* touched slow filesystems, but it
was thought that such use cases would be unlikely.  The intention of
the earlier change was to deal with a case when the user has this:

	GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/home/gitster

but in reality, /home/gitster is a symbolic link to somewhere else,
e.g. /net/machine/home4/gitster. A textual comparison between the
specified value /home/gitster and the location getcwd(3) returns
would not help us, but readlink("/home/gitster") would still be
fast.

After this change was released, Anders Kaseorg <andersk@mit.edu>
reported:

> [...] my computer has been acting so slow when I’m not connected to
> the network.  I put various network filesystem paths in
> $GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES, such as
> /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a/n/andersk (to avoid hitting its parents

> volumes).  Now when I’m not connected to the network, every
> invocation of Git, including the __git_ps1 in my shell prompt, waits
> for AFS to timeout.

To allow users to work around this problem, give them a mechanism to
turn off symlink resolution in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES entries.  All
the entries that follow an empty entry will not be checked for symbolic
links and used literally in comparison.  E.g. with these:

	GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=:/foo/bar:/xyzzy or
	GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/foo/bar::/xyzzy

we will not readlink("/xyzzy") because it comes after an empty entry.

With the former (but not with the latter), "/foo/bar" comes after an
empty entry, and we will not readlink it, either.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 4db86e8b6e Update :/abc ambiguity check
:/abc may mean two things:

- as a revision, it means the revision that has "abc" in commit
  message.

- as a pathpec, it means "abc" from root.

Currently we see ":/abc" as a rev (most of the time), but never see it
as a pathspec even if "abc" exists and "git log :/abc" will gladly
take ":/abc" as rev even it's ambiguous. This patch makes it:

- ambiguous when "abc" exists on worktree
- a rev if abc does not exist on worktree
- a path if abc is not found in any commits (although better use
  "--" to avoid ambiguation because searching through commit DAG is
  expensive)

A plus from this patch is, because ":/" never matches anything as a
rev, it is never considered a valid rev and because root directory
always exists, ":/" is always unambiguously seen as a pathspec.

Michael Haggerty 1b77d83cab setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks in ceiling paths
longest_ancestor_length() relies on a textual comparison of directory
parts to find the part of path that overlaps with one of the paths in
prefix_list.  But this doesn't work if any of the prefixes involves a
symbolic link, because the directories will look different even though
they might logically refer to the same directory.  So canonicalize the
paths listed in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES using real_path_if_valid()
before passing them to longest_ancestor_length().  (Also rename
normalize_ceiling_entry() to canonicalize_ceiling_entry() to reflect
the change.)

path is already in canonical form, so doesn't need to be canonicalized
again.

This fixes some problems with using GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES that
contains paths involving symlinks, including t4035 if run with --root
set to a path involving symlinks.

Please note that test t0060 is *not* changed analogously, because that
would make the test suite results dependent on the contents of the
local root directory.  However, real_path() is already tested
independently, and the "ancestor" tests cover the non-normalization
aspects of longest_ancestor_length(), so coverage remains sufficient.

Michael Haggerty 9e2326c7e1 longest_ancestor_length(): require prefix list entries to be normalized
Move the responsibility for normalizing prefixes from
longest_ancestor_length() to its callers. Use slightly different
normalizations at the two callers:

In setup_git_directory_gently_1(), use the old normalization, which
ignores paths that are not usable.  In the next commit we will change
this caller to also resolve symlinks in the paths from
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES as part of the normalization.

In "test-path-utils longest_ancestor_length", use the old
normalization, but die() if any paths are unusable.  Also change t0060
to only pass normalized paths to the test program (no empty entries or
non-absolute paths, strip trailing slashes from the paths, and remove
tests that thereby become redundant).

The point of this change is to reduce the scope of the ancestor_length
tests in t0060 from testing normalization+longest_prefix to testing
only mostly longest_prefix.  This is necessary because when
setup_git_directory_gently_1() starts resolving symlinks as part of
its normalization, it will not be reasonable to do the same in the
test suite, because that would make the test results depend on the
contents of the root directory of the filesystem on which the test is
run.  HOWEVER: under Windows, bash mangles arguments that look like
absolute POSIX paths into DOS paths.  So we have to retain the level
of normalization done by normalize_path_copy() to convert the
bash-mangled DOS paths (which contain backslashes) into paths that use
forward slashes.

we try looking for a working tree file (i.e. we finished looking at

pathname, and shouldn't even try interpreting the string as an

  fatal: HEAD:inexistant: no such path in the working tree.
  Use '-- <path>...' to specify paths that do not exist locally.
  $ git log HEAD:inexistant

Clemens Buchacher 2565b43bd2 properly keep track of current working directory
Various failure modes in the repository detection code path currently
quote the wrong directory in their error message. The working directory
is changed iteratively to the parent directory until a git repository is
found. If the working directory cannot be changed to the parent
directory for some reason, the detection gives up and prints an error
message. The error message should report the current working directory.

Instead of continually updating the 'cwd' variable, which is actually
used to remember the original working directory, the 'offset' variable
is used to keep track of the current working directory. At the point
where the affected error handling code is called, 'offset' already
points to the end of the parent of the working directory, rather than
the current working directory.

Fix this by explicitly using a variable 'offset_parent' and update
'offset' concurrently with the call to chdir.

In a similar fashion, the function get_device_or_die() would print the
original working directory in case of a failure, rather than the current
working directory. Fix this as well by making use of the 'offset'
variable.

Lastly, replace the phrase 'mount parent' with 'mount point'. The former
appears to be a typo.

Jeff King b3256eb8b3 standardize and improve lookup rules for external local repos
When you specify a local repository on the command line of
clone, ls-remote, upload-pack, receive-pack, or upload-archive,
or in a request to git-daemon, we perform a little bit of
lookup magic, doing things like looking in working trees for
.git directories and appending ".git" for bare repos.

For clone, this magic happens in get_repo_path. For
everything else, it happens in enter_repo. In both cases,
there are some ambiguous or confusing cases that aren't
handled well, and there is one case that is not handled the
same by both methods.

This patch tries to provide (and test!) standard, sensible
lookup rules for both code paths. The intended changes are:

  1. When looking up "foo", we have always preferred
     a working tree "foo" (containing "foo/.git" over the
     bare "foo.git". But we did not prefer a bare "foo" over
     "foo.git". With this patch, we do so.

  2. We would select directories that existed but didn't
     actually look like git repositories. With this patch,
     we make sure a selected directory looks like a git
     repo. Not only is this more sensible in general, but it
     will help anybody who is negatively affected by change
     (1) negatively (e.g., if they had "foo.git" next to its
     separate work tree "foo", and expect to keep finding
     "foo.git" when they reference "foo").

  3. The enter_repo code path would, given "foo", look for
     "foo.git/.git" (i.e., do the ".git" append magic even
     for a repo with working tree). The clone code path did
     not; with this patch, they now behave the same.

In the unlikely case of a working tree overlaying a bare
repo (i.e., a ".git" directory _inside_ a bare repo), we
continue to treat it as a working tree (prefering the
"inner" .git over the bare repo). This is mainly because the
combination seems nonsensical, and I'd rather stick with
existing behavior on the off chance that somebody is relying
on it.

his complicates it's usage in contrib/ because it pulls external

Split off less generic and more internal to git part of

Move prefix_filename function from setup.c to abspath.c. abspath.o
and wrapper.o pull each other, so it's unlikely to increase the
dependencies. It was a dependency of parse-options.o that pulled
many others.

Now parse-options.o pulls just abspath.o, ctype.o, strbuf.o, usage.o,

2011-08-11 11:04:28 -07:00
Clemens Buchacher 8894d53580 commit: allow partial commits with relative paths
In order to do partial commits, git-commit overlays a tree on the
cache and checks pathspecs against the result. Currently, the
overlaying is done using "prefix" which prevents relative pathspecs
with ".." and absolute pathspec from matching when they refer to
files not under "prefix" and absent from the index, but still in
the tree (i.e.  files staged for removal).

The point of providing a prefix at all is performance optimization.
If we say there is no common prefix for the files of interest, then
we have to read the entire tree into the index.

But even if we cannot use the working directory as a prefix, we can
still figure out if there is a common prefix for all given paths,
and use that instead. The pathspec_prefix() routine from ls-files.c
does exactly that.

Any use of global variables is removed from pathspec_prefix() so
that it can be called from commit.c.

"git cmd :/no-such-string-ever-existed" runs an extra round of get_sha1()
since 009fee4 (Detailed diagnosis when parsing an object name fails.,
2009-12-07).  Once without error diagnosis to see there is no commit with
such a string in the log message (hence "it cannot be a ref"), and after
seeing that :/no-such-string-ever-existed is not a filename (hence "it
cannot be a path, either"), another time to give "better diagnosis".

The thing is, the second time it runs, we already know that traversing the
history all the way down to the root will _not_ find any matching commit.

Rename misguided "gently" parameter, which is turned off _only_ when the
"detailed diagnosis" codepath knows that it cannot be a ref and making the
call only for the caller to die with a message.  Flip its meaning (and
adjust the callers) and call it "only_to_die", which is not a great name,
but it describes far more clearly what the codepaths that switches their
behaviour based on this variable do.

Junio C Hamano 2f6c9760de magic pathspec: futureproof shorthand form
The earlier design was to take whatever non-alnum that the short format
parser happens to support, leaving the rest as part of the pattern, so a
version of git that knows '*' magic and a version that does not would have
behaved differently when given ":*Makefile".  The former would have
applied the '*' magic to the pattern "Makefile", while the latter would
used no magic to the pattern "*Makefile".

Instead, just reserve all non-alnum ASCII letters that are neither glob
nor regexp special as potential magic signature, and when we see a magic
that is not supported, die with an error message, just like the longhand
codepath does.

With this, ":%#!*Makefile" will always mean "%#!" magic applied to the
pattern "*Makefile", no matter what version of git is used (it is a
different matter if the version of git supports all of these three magic
matching rules).

Also make ':' without anything else to mean "there is no pathspec".  This
would allow differences between "git log" and "git log ." run from the top
level of the working tree (the latter simplifies no-op commits away from
the history) to be expressed from a subdirectory by saying "git log :".

Junio C Hamano 8a42c98501 magic pathspec: add tentative ":/path/from/top/level" pathspec support
Support ":/" magic string that can be prefixed to a pathspec element to
say "this names the path from the top-level of the working tree", when
you are in the subdirectory.

For example, you should be able to say:

    $ edit Makefile ;# top-level
    $ cd Documentation
    $ edit git.txt ;# in the subdirectory

and then do one of three things, still inside the subdirectory:

    $ git add -u .  ;# add only Documentation/git.txt
    $ git add -u :/ ;# add everything, including paths outside Documentation
    $ git add -u    ;# whatever the default setting is.

To truly support magic pathspec, the API needs to be restructured so that
get_pathspec() and init_pathspec() are unified into one call.  Currently,
the former just prefixes the user supplied pathspec with the current
subdirectory path, and the latter takes the output from the former and
pre-parses them into a bit richer structure for easier handling.  They
should become a single API function that takes the current subdirectory
path and the remainder of argv[] (after parsing --options and revision
arguments from the command line) and returns an array of parsed pathspec
elements, and "magic" should become attributes of struct pathspec_item.

This patch implements only "top" magic because it can be hacked into the
system without such a refactoring.

The syntax for magic pathspec prefix is designed to be extensible yet
simple to type to invoke a simple magic like "from the top".  The parser
for the magic prefix is hooked into get_pathspec() function in this patch,
and it needs to be moved when we refactor the API.

But we have to start from somewhere.

2011-02-09 16:41:16 -08:00
Jonathan Nieder 4868b2ea17 Subject: setup: officially support --work-tree without --git-dir
The original intention of --work-tree was to allow people to work in a
subdirectory of their working tree that does not have an embedded .git
directory.  Because their working tree, which their $cwd was in, did not
have an embedded .git, they needed to use $GIT_DIR to specify where it is,
and because this meant there was no way to discover where the root level
of the working tree was, so we needed to add $GIT_WORK_TREE to tell git
where it was.

However, this facility has long been (mis)used by people's scripts to
start git from a working tree _with_ an embedded .git directory, let git
find .git directory, and then pretend as if an unrelated directory were
the associated working tree of the .git directory found by the discovery
process.  It happens to work in simple cases, and is not worth causing
"regression" to these scripts.

GIT_WORK_TREE and decides correct worktree setting.

Unfortunately it does not do its job well. core.worktree and
GIT_WORK_TREE should only be taken into account, if GIT_DIR is set
(which is handled by setup_explicit_git_dir). For other setup cases,
only core.bare matters.

Add a temporary variable setup_explicit to adjust get_git_work_tree()
behavior as such. This variable will be gone once setup_* rework is
done.

Also remove is_bare_repository_cfg check in set_git_work_tree() to
ease the rework. We are going to check for core.bare and core.worktree
early before setting worktree. For example, if core.bare is true, no
need to set worktree.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 337e51cedf Use git_config_early() instead of git_config() during repo setup
When git_config() is called, either git_dir has already been set (by
$GIT_DIR env or set_git_dir()), or it will default git_dir to ".git".

git_config_early() gives setup functions more freedom because it does
not require git_dir. Give it a config path, it will happily examine
it.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy f07d6a1ad1 setup: save prefix (original cwd relative to toplevel) in startup_info
Save the path from the original cwd to the cwd at the end of the
setup procedure in the startup_info struct introduced in e37c1329
(2010-08-05).  The value cannot vary from thread to thread anyway,
since the cwd is global.

So now in your builtin command, instead of passing prefix around,
when you want to convert a user-supplied path to a cwd-relative
path, you can use startup_info->prefix directly.

Caveat: As with the return value from setup_git_directory_gently(),
startup_info->prefix would be NULL when the original cwd is not a
subdir of the toplevel.

Longer term, this would allow the prefix to be reused when several
noncooperating functions require access to the same repository (for
example, when accessing configuration before running a builtin).

Thomas Rast 9e5f5d4cfe prefix_filename(): safely handle the case where pfx_len=0
Current prefix_filename() is proofed against the case where the prefix
'pfx' is NULL or a 0-length string, _except on Windows_.

Change the behaviour to work the same on both platforms, and only
check pfx_len so that callers passing a NULL prefix with a nonzero
pfx_len segfault early on both.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy a60645f9c5 setup: remember whether repository was found
As v1.7.2~16^2 (git --paginate: paginate external commands
again, 2010-07-14) explains, builtins (like git config) that
do not use RUN_SETUP are not finding GIT_DIR set correctly when
it is time to launch the pager from run_builtin().  If they
were to search for a repository sooner, then the outcome of such
early repository accesses would be more predictable and reliable.

The cmd_*() functions learn whether a repository was found through the
*nongit_ok return value from setup_git_directory_gently().  If
run_builtin() is to take care of the repository search itself, that
datum needs to be retrievable from somewhere else.  Use the
startup_info struct for this.

As a bonus, this information becomes available to functions such as
git_config() which might want to avoid trying to access a repository
when none is present.

Finish the clean-up of setup_git_directory_gently() by splitting the
last case of validation+setup (global variables, prefix, check_format,
set_git_dir) into its own function.  Now setup_git_git_directory_gently
itself takes care of discovery only and the functions that pick up
from there are nearby in the source file so they can be easily
compared.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 8fc0ae80f6 setup: do not forget working dir from subdir of gitdir
v1.6.1.3~4^2 (Fix gitdir detection when in subdir of gitdir,
2009-01-16) did not go far enough: when a git directory is
an ancestor of the original working directory, not only
should GIT_DIR be set to point to the .git directory, but
the original working directory should be restored before
carrying out the relevant command.

This way, the effect of running a git command from a subdir
of .git will be the same whether or not GIT_DIR is explicitly
set.

Noticed while investigating v1.6.0.3~1 (rehabilitate 'git
index-pack' inside the object store, 2008-10-20).
