Torsten Bögershausen 0117c2f043 Make core.sharedRepository work under cygwin 1.7
When core.sharedRepository is used, set_shared_perm() in path.c
needs lstat() to return the correct POSIX permissions.

The default for cygwin is core.ignoreCygwinFSTricks = false, which
means that the fast implementation in do_stat() is used instead of
lstat().

lstat() under cygwin uses the Windows security model to implement
POSIX-like permissions.  The user, group or everyone bits can be set
individually.

do_stat() simplifes the file permission bits, and may return a wrong
value.  The read-only attribute of a file is used to calculate the
permissions, resulting in either rw-r--r-- or r--r--r--

One effect of the simplified do_stat() is that t1301 fails.

Add a function cygwin_get_st_mode_bits() which returns the POSIX
permissions.  When not compiling for cygwin, true_mode_bits() in
path.c is used.

Side note:

t1301 passes under cygwin 1.5.

The "user write" bit is synchronized with the "read only" attribute
of a file:

    $ chmod 444 x
    $ attrib x
    A    R     C:\temp\pt\x

    cygwin 1.7 would show
    A          C:\temp\pt\x

Ramsay Jones d0f9dbb9e2 msvc: test-svn-fe: Fix linker "unresolved external" error
In particular, while linking test-svn-fe.exe, the linker complains
that the external symbol _strtoull is unresolved. A call to this
function was added in commit ddcc8c5b ("vcs-svn: skeleton of an svn
delta parser", 25-12-2010).

The NO_STRTOULL build variable attempts to provide support to old
systems which can't even declare 'unsigned long long' variables,
let alone provide the strtoll() or strtoull() functions. Setting
this build variable does not provide an implementation of these
functions. Rather, it simply allows the compat implementations
of strto{i,u}max() to use strtol() and strtoul() instead.

In order to fix the linker error on systems with NO_STRTOULL set,
currently MSVC and OSF1, we can substitute a call to strtoumax().

However, we can easily provide support for the strtoull() and
strtoll() functions on MSVC, since they are essentially already
available as _strtoui64() and _strtoi64(). This allows us to
remove NO_STRTOULL for MSVC.

Ramsay Jones 41f2999180 msvc: Fix compilation errors caused by poll.h emulation
Commit 0f77dea9 ("mingw: move poll out of sys-folder", 24-10-2011), along
with other commits in the 'ef/mingw-upload-archive' branch (see commit
7406aa20), effectively reintroduced the same problem addressed by commit
56fb3ddc ("msvc: Fix compilation errors in compat/win32/sys/poll.c",
04-12-2010).

In order to fix the compilation errors, we use the same solution adopted
in that earlier commit. In particular, we set _WIN32_WINNT to 0x0502
(which would target Windows Server 2003) prior to including the winsock2.h
header file.

Also, we delete the compat/vcbuild/include/sys/poll.h header file, since
it is now redundant and it's presence may cause some confusion.

Junio C Hamano 7348159380 Merge branch 'ef/mingw-rmdir'

Erik Faye-Lund a83b2b578c mingw_rmdir: do not prompt for retry when non-empty
in ab1a11be ("mingw_rmdir: set errno=ENOTEMPTY when appropriate"),
a check was added to prevent us from retrying to delete a directory
that is both in use and non-empty.

However, this logic was slightly flawed; since we didn't return
immediately, we end up falling out of the retry-loop, but right into
the prompting-loop.

Fix this by setting errno, and guarding the prompting-loop with an
errno-check.

Erik Faye-Lund afb43561b8 mingw: reuse tty-version of git_terminal_prompt
The getpass-implementation we use on Windows isn't at all ideal;
it works in raw-mode (as opposed to cooked mode), and as a result
does not deal correcly with deletion, arrow-keys etc.

Instead, use cooked mode to read a line at the time, allowing the
C run-time to process the input properly.

Since we set files to be opened in binary-mode by default on
Windows, introduce a FORCE_TEXT macro that expands to the "t"
modifier that forces the terminal to be opened in text-mode so we
do not have to deal with CRLF issues.

Mark Levedahl 380a4d927b Update cygwin.c for new mingw-64 win32 api headers
The cygwin project recently switched to a new implementation of the
windows api, now using header files from the mingw-64 project. These
new header files are incompatible with the way cygwin.c included the
old headers: cygwin.c can be compiled using the new or the older (mingw)
headers, but different files must be included in different order for each
to work. The new headers are in use only for the current release series
(based upon the v1.7.x dll version). The previous release series using
the v1.5 dll is kept available but unmaintained for use on older versions
of Windows. So, patch cygwin.c to use the new include ordering only if
the dll version is 1.7 or higher.

Jeff King 67ba123fd1 terminal: seek when switching between reading and writing
When a stdio stream is opened in update mode (e.g., "w+"),
the C standard forbids switching between reading or writing
without an intervening positioning function. Many
implementations are lenient about this, but Solaris libc
will flush the recently-read contents to the output buffer.
In this instance, that meant writing the non-echoed password
that the user just typed to the terminal.

Fix it by inserting a no-op fseek between the read and
write.

The opposite direction (writing followed by reading) is also
disallowed, but our intervening fflush is an acceptable
positioning function for that alternative.

  git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode
2012-07-13 15:37:51 -07:00
Torsten Bögershausen 76759c7dff git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode
Mac OS X mangles file names containing unicode on file systems HFS+,
VFAT or SAMBA.  When a file using unicode code points outside ASCII
is created on a HFS+ drive, the file name is converted into
decomposed unicode and written to disk. No conversion is done if
the file name is already decomposed unicode.

Calling open("\xc3\x84", ...) with a precomposed "Ä" yields the same
result as open("\x41\xcc\x88",...) with a decomposed "Ä".

As a consequence, readdir() returns the file names in decomposed
unicode, even if the user expects precomposed unicode.  Unlike on
HFS+, Mac OS X stores files on a VFAT drive (e.g. an USB drive) in
precomposed unicode, but readdir() still returns file names in
decomposed unicode.  When a git repository is stored on a network
share using SAMBA, file names are send over the wire and written to
disk on the remote system in precomposed unicode, but Mac OS X
readdir() returns decomposed unicode to be compatible with its
behaviour on HFS+ and VFAT.

The unicode decomposition causes many problems:

- The names "git add" and other commands get from the end user may
  often be precomposed form (the decomposed form is not easily input
  from the keyboard), but when the commands read from the filesystem
  to see what it is going to update the index with already is on the
  filesystem, readdir() will give decomposed form, which is different.

- Similarly "git log", "git mv" and all other commands that need to
  compare pathnames found on the command line (often but not always
  precomposed form; a command line input resulting from globbing may
  be in decomposed) with pathnames found in the tree objects (should
  be precomposed form to be compatible with other systems and for
  consistency in general).

- The same for names stored in the index, which should be
  precomposed, that may need to be compared with the names read from
  readdir().

NFS mounted from Linux is fully transparent and does not suffer from
the above.

As Mac OS X treats precomposed and decomposed file names as equal,
we can

 - wrap readdir() on Mac OS X to return the precomposed form, and

 - normalize decomposed form given from the command line also to the
   precomposed form,

to ensure that all pathnames used in Git are always in the
precomposed form.  This behaviour can be requested by setting
"core.precomposedunicode" configuration variable to true.

The code in compat/precomposed_utf8.c implements basically 4 new
functions: precomposed_utf8_opendir(), precomposed_utf8_readdir(),
precomposed_utf8_closedir() and precompose_argv().  The first three
are to wrap opendir(3), readdir(3), and closedir(3) functions.

The argv[] conversion allows to use the TAB filename completion done
by the shell on command line.  It tolerates other tools which use
readdir() to feed decomposed file names into git.

When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone",
"core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false".

The user needs to activate this feature manually.  She typically
sets core.precomposedunicode to "true" on HFS and VFAT, or file
systems mounted via SAMBA.
