Before even calling this, all callers have done a "has_sha1_file(sha1)"
or "has_loose_object(sha1)" check, so there is no point in doing a
second check.
If something races with us on object creation, we handle that in the
final link() that moves it to the right place.

Now that we've made the loose SHA1 file reading more careful and
streamlined, we only use the old find_sha1_file() function for checking
whether a loose object file exists at all.
As such, the whole 'return stat information' part of it was just
pointless (nobody cares any more), and the naming of the function is not
really all that relevant either.
So simplify it to not do a 'stat()', but just an existence check (which
is what the callers want), and rename it to 'has_loose_object()' which
matches the use.

We used to do 'stat()+open()+mmap()+close()' to read the loose object
file data, which does work fine, but has a couple of problems:
- it unnecessarily walks the filename twice (at 'stat()' time and then
again to open it)
- NFS generally has open-close consistency guarantees, which means that
the initial 'stat()' was technically done outside of the normal
consistency rules.
So change it to do 'open()+fstat()+mmap()+close()' instead, which avoids
both these issues.

Instead of creating new temporary objects in the top-level git object
directory, create them in the same directory they will finally end up in
anyway. This avoids making the final atomic "rename to stable name"
operation be a cross-directory event, which makes it a lot easier for
various filesystems.
Several filesystems do things like change the inode number when moving
files across directories (or refuse to do it entirely).
In particular, it can also cause problems for NFS implementations that
change the filehandle of a file when it moves to a different directory,
like the old user-space NFS server did, and like the Linux knfsd still
does if you don't export your filesystems with 'no_subtree_check' or if
you export a filesystem that doesn't have stable inode numbers across
renames).
This change also obviously implies creating the object fan-out
subdirectory at tempfile creation time, rather than at the final
move_temp_to_file() time. Which actually accounts for most of the size
of the patch.

This consolidates the common operations for closing the new temporary file
that we have written, before we move it into place with the final name.
There's some common code there (make it read-only and check for errors on
close), but more importantly, this also gives a single place to add an
fsync_or_die() call if we want to add a safe mode.

Currently, when looking for a packed object from the pack idx, a
simple binary search is used.
A conventional binary search loop looks like this:
unsigned lo, hi;
do {
unsigned mi = (lo + hi) / 2;
int cmp = "entry pointed at by mi" minus "target";
if (!cmp)
return mi; "mi is the wanted one"
if (cmp > 0)
hi = mi; "mi is larger than target"
else
lo = mi+1; "mi is smaller than target"
} while (lo < hi);
"did not find what we wanted"
The invariants are:
- When entering the loop, 'lo' points at a slot that is never
above the target (it could be at the target), 'hi' points at
a slot that is guaranteed to be above the target (it can
never be at the target).
- We find a point 'mi' between 'lo' and 'hi' ('mi' could be
the same as 'lo', but never can be as high as 'hi'), and
check if 'mi' hits the target. There are three cases:
- if it is a hit, we have found what we are looking for;
- if it is strictly higher than the target, we set it to
'hi', and repeat the search.
- if it is strictly lower than the target, we update 'lo'
to one slot after it, because we allow 'lo' to be at the
target and 'mi' is known to be below the target.
If the loop exits, there is no matching entry.
When choosing 'mi', we do not have to take the "middle" but
anywhere in between 'lo' and 'hi', as long as lo <= mi < hi is
satisfied. When we somehow know that the distance between the
target and 'lo' is much shorter than the target and 'hi', we
could pick 'mi' that is much closer to 'lo' than (hi+lo)/2,
which a conventional binary search would pick.
This patch takes advantage of the fact that the SHA-1 is a good
hash function, and as long as there are enough entries in the
table, we can expect uniform distribution. An entry that begins
with for example "deadbeef..." is much likely to appear much
later than in the midway of a reasonably populated table. In
fact, it can be expected to be near 87% (222/256) from the top
of the table.
This is a work-in-progress and has switches to allow easier
experiments and debugging. Exporting GIT_USE_LOOKUP environment
variable enables this code.
On my admittedly memory starved machine, with a partial KDE
repository (3.0G pack with 95M idx):

CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
autocrlf=true will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and
CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git. For text
files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
conversion can corrupt data.
If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right
after committing you still have the original file in your work
tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell
git that this file is binary and git will handle the file
appropriately.
Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed
in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing
to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
converting CRLFs corrupts data.
This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about
an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert. The
mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the
following values:
- false: disable safecrlf mechanism
- warn: warn about irreversible conversions
- true: refuse irreversible conversions
The default is to warn. Users are only affected by this default
if core.autocrlf is set. But the current default of git is to
leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless
they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism.
The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command. The
general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are:
- we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an
irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the
original file.
- for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree
we do not not print annoying warnings.
There are exceptions. Even though...
- "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the
next checkout would, so the safety triggers;
- "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files
in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF
conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the
safety does not trigger;
- "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is
often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add". To
catch potential problems early, safety triggers.
The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar
way by Linus Torvalds. Thanks to Dimitry Potapov for insisting
on getting the naked LF/autocrlf=true case right.

fast-import was relying on the fact that on most systems mmap() and
write() are synchronized by the filesystem's buffer cache. We were
relying on the ability to mmap() 20 bytes beyond the current end
of the file, then later fill in those bytes with a future write()
call, then read them through the previously obtained mmap() address.
This isn't always true with some implementations of NFS, but it is
especially not true with our NO_MMAP=YesPlease build time option used
on some platforms. If fast-import was built with NO_MMAP=YesPlease
we used the malloc()+pread() emulation and the subsequent write()
call does not update the trailing 20 bytes of a previously obtained
"mmap()" (aka malloc'd) address.
Under NO_MMAP that behavior causes unpack_entry() in sha1_file.c to
be unable to read an object header (or data) that has been unlucky
enough to be written to the packfile at a location such that it
is in the trailing 20 bytes of a window previously opened on that
same packfile.
This bug has gone unnoticed for a very long time as it is highly data
dependent. Not only does the object have to be placed at the right
position, but it also needs to be positioned behind some other object
that has been accessed due to a branch cache invalidation. In other
words the stars had to align just right, and if you did run into
this bug you probably should also have purchased a lottery ticket.
Fortunately the workaround is a lot easier than the bug explanation.
Before we allow unpack_entry() to read data from a pack window
that has also (possibly) been modified through write() we force
all existing windows on that packfile to be closed. By closing
the windows we ensure that any new access via the emulated mmap()
will reread the packfile, updating to the current file content.
This comes at a slight performance degredation as we cannot reuse
previously cached windows when we update the packfile. But it
is a fairly minor difference as the window closes happen at only
two points:
- When the packfile is finalized and its .idx is generated:
At this stage we are getting ready to update the refs and any
data access into the packfile is going to be random, and is
going after only the branch tips (to ensure they are valid).
Our existing windows (if any) are not likely to be positioned
at useful locations to access those final tip commits so we
probably were closing them before anyway.
- When the branch cache missed and we need to reload:
At this point fast-import is getting change commands for the next
commit and it needs to go re-read a tree object it previously
had written out to the packfile. What windows we had (if any)
are not likely to cover the tree in question so we probably were
closing them before anyway.
We do try to avoid unnecessarily closing windows in the second case
by checking to see if the packfile size has increased since the
last time we called unpack_entry() on that packfile. If the size
has not changed then we have not written additional data, and any
existing window is still vaild. This nicely handles the cases where
fast-import is going through a branch cache reload and needs to read
many trees at once. During such an event we are not likely to be
updating the packfile so we do not cycle the windows between reads.
With this change in place t9301-fast-export.sh (which was broken
by c3b0dec509) finally works again.

Under some types of packfile corruption the zlib stream holding the
data for a delta within a packfile may fail to inflate, due to say
a CRC failure within the compressed data itself. When this occurs
the unpack_compressed_entry function will return NULL as a signal to
the caller that the data is not available. Unfortunately we then
tried to use that NULL as though it referenced a memory location
where a delta was stored and tried to apply it to the delta base.
Loading a byte from the NULL address typically causes a SIGSEGV.
cate on #git noticed this failure in `git fsck --full` where the
call to verify_pack() first noticed that the packfile was corrupt
by finding that the packfile's SHA-1 did not match the raw data of
the file. After finding this fsck went ahead and tried to verify
every object within the packfile, even though the packfile was
already known to be bad. If we are going to shovel bad data at

The new name is closer to the purpose of the function.
A NUL-terminated buffer makes things easier when callers need that.
Since the function returns only the memory written with data,
almost always allocating more space than needed because final
size is unknown, an extra NUL terminating the buffer is harmless.
It is not included in the returned size, so the function
remains working as before.
Also, now the function allows the buffer passed to be NULL at first,

Don't smash stack when $GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES is too long
There is no restriction on the length of the name returned by
get_object_directory, other than the fact that it must be a stat'able
git object directory. That means its name may have length up to
PATH_MAX-1 (i.e., often 4095) not counting the trailing NUL.
Combine that with the assumption that the concatenation of that name and
suffixes like "/info/alternates" and "/pack/---long-name---.idx" will fit
in a buffer of length PATH_MAX, and you see the problem. Here's a fix:
sha1_file.c (prepare_packed_git_one): Lengthen "path" buffer
so we are guaranteed to be able to append "/pack/" without checking.
Skip any directory entry that is too long to be appended.
(read_info_alternates): Protect against a similar buffer overrun.
Before this change, using the following admittedly contrived environment
setting would cause many git commands to clobber their stack and segfault
on a system with PATH_MAX == 4096:

export GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES=$t

This is indeed a good heuristic so here it is. The search always start
with the pack where the last object lookup succeeded. If the wanted
object is not available there then the search continues with the normal
pack ordering.
To test this I split the Linux repository into 66 packs and performed a
"time git-rev-list --objects --all > /dev/null". Best results are as
follows:
Pack Sort w/o this patch w/ this patch
-------------------------------------------------------------
recent objects last 26.4s 20.9s
recent objects first 24.9s 18.4s
This shows that the pack order based on object age has some influence,
but that the last-used-pack heuristic is even more significant in
reducing object lookup.

Calling getenv() is not that expensive, but its also not free,
and its certainly not cheaper than testing to see if alt_odb_tail
is not null.
Because we are calling prepare_alt_odb() from within find_sha1_file
every time we cannot find an object file locally we want to skip out
of prepare_alt_odb() as early as possible once we have initialized

In some repository configurations the user may have many packfiles,
but all of the recent commits/trees/tags/blobs are likely to
be in the most recent packfile (the one with the newest mtime).
It is therefore common to be able to complete an entire operation
by accessing only one packfile, even if there are 25 packfiles
available to the repository.
Rather than opening and mmaping the corresponding .idx file for
every pack found, we now only open and map the .idx when we suspect
there might be an object of interest in there.
Of course we cannot known in advance which packfile contains an
object, so we still need to scan the entire packed_git list to
locate anything. But odds are users want to access objects in the
most recently created packfiles first, and that may be all they
ever need for the current operation.
Junio observed in b867092f that placing recent packfiles before
older ones can slightly improve access times for recent objects,
without degrading it for historical object access.
This change improves upon Junio's observations by trying even harder
to avoid the .idx files that we won't need.

Now that we encourage and actively preserve objects in a packed form
more agressively than we did at the time the new loose object format and
core.legacyheaders were introduced, that extra loose object format
doesn't appear to be worth it anymore.
Because the packing of loose objects has to go through the delta match
loop anyway, and since most of them should end up being deltified in
most cases, there is really little advantage to have this parallel loose
object format as the CPU savings it might provide is rather lost in the
noise in the end.
This patch gets rid of core.legacyheaders, preserve the legacy format as
the only writable loose object format and deprecate the other one to
keep things simpler.

Tim Ansell discovered his Debian server didn't permit git-daemon to
use as much memory as it needed to handle cloning a project with
a 128 MiB packfile. Filtering the strace provided by Tim of the
rev-list child showed this gem of a sequence:
open("./objects/pack/pack-*.pack", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE <unfinished ...>
<... open resumed> ) = 5
OK, so the packfile is fd 5...
mmap2(NULL, 33554432, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0 <unfinished ...>
<... mmap2 resumed> ) = 0xb5e2d000
and we mapped one 32 MiB window from it at position 0...
mmap2(NULL, 31020635, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0x6000 <unfinished ...>
<... mmap2 resumed> ) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)
And we asked for another window further into the file. But got
denied. In Tim's case this was due to a resource limit on the
git-daemon process, and its children.
Now where are we in the code? We're down inside use_pack(),
after we have called unuse_one_window() enough times to make sure
we stay within our allowed maximum window size. However since we
didn't unmap the prior window at 0xb5e2d000 we aren't exceeding
the current limit (which probably was just the defaults).
But we're actually down inside xmmap()...
So we release the window we do have (by calling release_pack_memory),
assuming there is some memory pressure...
munmap(0xb5e2d000, 33554432 <unfinished ...>
<... munmap resumed> ) = 0
close(5 <unfinished ...>
<... close resumed> ) = 0
And that was the last window in this packfile. So we closed it.
Way to go us. Our xmmap did not expect release_pack_memory to
close the fd its about to map...
mmap2(NULL, 31020635, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0x6000 <unfinished ...>
<... mmap2 resumed> ) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
And so the Linux kernel happily tells us f' off.
write(2, "fatal: ", 7 <unfinished ...>
<... write resumed> ) = 7
write(2, "Out of memory? mmap failed: Bad "..., 47 <unfinished ...>
<... write resumed> ) = 47
And we report the bad file descriptor error, and not the ENOMEM,
and die, claiming we are out of memory. But actually that mmap
should have succeeded, as we had enough memory for that window,
seeing as how we released the prior one.
Originally when I developed the sliding window mmap feature I had
this exact same bug in fast-import, and I dealt with it by handing
in the struct packed_git* we want to open the new window for, as the
caller wasn't prepared to reopen the packfile if unuse_one_window
closed it. The same is true here from xmmap, but the caller doesn't
have the struct packed_git* handy. So I'm using the file descriptor
instead to perform the same test.

When creating a new object, we use "deflate(stream, Z_FINISH)" in a loop
until it no longer returns Z_OK, and then we do "deflateEnd()" to finish
up business.
That should all work, but the fact is, it's not how you're _supposed_ to
use the zlib return values properly:
- deflate() should never return Z_OK in the first place, except if we
need to increase the output buffer size (which we're not doing, and
should never need to do, since we pre-allocated a buffer that is
supposed to be able to hold the output in full). So the "while()" loop
was incorrect: Z_OK doesn't actually mean "ok, continue", it means "ok,
allocate more memory for me and continue"!
- if we got an error return, we would consider it to be end-of-stream,
but it could be some internal zlib error. In short, we should check
for Z_STREAM_END explicitly, since that's the only valid return value
anyway for the Z_FINISH case.
- we never checked deflateEnd() return codes at all.
Now, admittedly, none of these issues should ever happen, unless there is
some internal bug in zlib. So this patch should make zero difference, but
it seems to be the right thing to do.
We should probablybe anal and check the return value of "deflateInit()"
too!

The thing is, if the output buffer is empty, we should *still* actually

So we wouldn't use up all the zlib stream, because we felt that we didn't

The new configuration variable core.deltaBaseCacheLimit allows the
user to control how much memory they are willing to give to Git for
caching base objects of deltas. This is not normally meant to be
a user tweakable knob; the "out of the box" settings are meant to
be suitable for almost all workloads.
We default to 16 MiB under the assumption that the cache is not
meant to consume all of the user's available memory, and that the
cache's main purpose was to cache trees, for faster path limiters
during revision traversal. Since trees tend to be relatively small
objects, this relatively small limit should still allow a large
number of objects.
On the other hand we don't want the cache to start storing 200
different versions of a 200 MiB blob, as this could easily blow
the entire address space of a 32 bit process.
We evict OBJ_BLOB from the cache first (credit goes to Junio) as
we want to favor OBJ_TREE within the cache. These are the objects
that have the highest inflate() startup penalty, as they tend to
be small and thus don't have that much of a chance to ammortize
that penalty over the entire data.

When accessing objects, we first look for them in packs that
are linked together in the reverse order of discovery.
Since younger packs tend to contain more recent objects, which
are more likely to be accessed often, and local packs tend to
contain objects more relevant to our specific projects, sort the
list of packs before starting to access them. In addition,
favoring local packs over the ones borrowed from alternates can
be a win when alternates are mounted on network file systems.

Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4.
This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose
maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or
mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory.
On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause
the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior.
Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the
-Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t().
In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms

It currently does NOT know about file attributes, so it does its
conversion purely based on content. Maybe that is more in the "git
philosophy" anyway, since content is king, but I think we should try to do
the file attributes to turn it off on demand.
Anyway, BY DEFAULT it is off regardless, because it requires a
[core]
AutoCRLF = true
in your config file to be enabled. We could make that the default for
Windows, of course, the same way we do some other things (filemode etc).
But you can actually enable it on UNIX, and it will cause:
- "git update-index" will write blobs without CRLF
- "git diff" will diff working tree files without CRLF
- "git checkout" will write files to the working tree _with_ CRLF
and things work fine.
Funnily, it actually shows an odd file in git itself:
git clone -n git test-crlf
cd test-crlf
git config core.autocrlf true
git checkout
git diff
shows a diff for "Documentation/docbook-xsl.css". Why? Because we have
actually checked in that file *with* CRLF! So when "core.autocrlf" is
true, we'll always generate a *different* hash for it in the index,
because the index hash will be for the content _without_ CRLF.
Is this complete? I dunno. It seems to work for me. It doesn't use the
filename at all right now, and that's probably a deficiency (we could
certainly make the "is_binary()" heuristics also take standard filename
heuristics into account).
I don't pass in the filename at all for the "index_fd()" case
(git-update-index), so that would need to be passed around, but this
actually works fine.
NOTE NOTE NOTE! The "is_binary()" heuristics are totally made-up by yours
truly. I will not guarantee that they work at all reasonable. Caveat
emptor. But it _is_ simple, and it _is_ safe, since it's all off by
default.

three places that read/write working tree files for git
update-index, checkout and diff respectively. That should cover
a lot of it [jc: git-apply uses an entirely different codepath
both for reading and writing].
Some day we can actually implement it. In the meantime, this
points out a place for people to start. We *can* even start with
a really simple "we do CRLF conversion automatically, regardless
of filename" kind of approach, that just look at the data (all
three cases have the _full_ file data already in memory) and
says "ok, this is text, so let's convert to/from DOS format
directly".
THAT somebody can write in ten minutes, and it would already
make git much nicer on a DOS/Windows platform, I suspect.
And it would be totally zero-cost if you just make it a config
option (but please make it dynamic with the _default_ just being

Matthias Lederhofer identified a race condition where a Git reader
process was able to locate an object in a packed_git index, but
was then preempted while a `git repack -a -d` ran and completed.
By the time the reader was able to seek in the packfile to get the
object data, the packfile no longer existed on disk.
In this particular case the reader process did not attempt to
open the packfile before it was deleted, so it did not already
have the pack_fd field popuplated. With the packfile itself gone,
there was no way for the reader to open it and fetch the data.
I'm fixing the race condition by teaching find_pack_entry to ignore
a packed_git whose packfile is not currently open and which cannot
be opened. If none of the currently known packs can supply the
object, we will return 0 and the caller will decide the object is
not available. If this is the first attempt at finding an object,
the caller will reprepare_packed_git and try again. If it was
the second attempt, the caller will typically return NULL back,
and an error message about a missing object will be reported.
This patch does not address the situation of a reader which is
being starved out by a tight sequence of `git repack -a -d` runs.
In this particular case the reader will try twice, probably fail
both times, and declare the object in question cannot be found.
As it is highly unlikely that a real world `git repack -a -d` can
complete faster than a reader can open a packfile, so I don't think
this is a huge concern.

Way back when Junio developed the 64 bit index topic he came up
with a means of changing the .idx file format so that older Git
clients would recognize that they don't understand the file and
refuse to read it, while newer clients could tell the difference
between the old-style and new-style .idx files. Unfortunately
this wasn't recorded anywhere.
This change documents how we might go about changing the .idx
file format by using a special signature in the first four bytes.
Credit (and possible blame) goes completely to Junio for thinking
up this technique.
The change also modifies the error message of the current Git code
so that users get a recommendation to upgrade their Git software
should this version or later encounter a new-style .idx which it
cannot process. We already do this for the .pack files, but since
we usually process the .idx files first its important that these

With the new-and-improved write_in_full() semantics, where a partial write
simply always returns a real error (and always sets 'errno' when that
happens, including for the disk full case), a lot of the callers of
write_in_full() were just unnecessarily complex.
In particular, there's no reason to ever check for a zero length or
return: if the length was zero, we'll return zero, otherwise, if a disk
full resulted in the actual write() system call returning zero the
write_in_full() logic would have correctly turned that into a negative

If a command opens a packfile for only temporary access and does not
install the struct packed_git* into the global packed_git list then
we are unable to unmap any inactive windows within that packed_git,
causing the overall process to exceed core.packedGitLimit.
We cannot force the callers to install their temporary packfile
into the packed_git chain as doing so would allow that (possibly
corrupt but currently being verified) temporary packfile to become
part of the local ODB, which may allow it to be considered for
object resolution when it may not actually be a valid packfile.
So to support unmapping the windows of these temporary packfiles we
also scan the windows of the struct packed_git which was supplied
to use_pack(). Since commands only work with one temporary packfile
at a time scanning the one supplied to use_pack() and all packs
installed into packed_git should cover everything available in
memory.
We also have to be careful to not close the file descriptor of
the packed_git which was handed to use_pack() when all of that
packfile's windows have been unmapped, as we are already past the
open call that would open the packfile and need the file descriptor
to be ready for mmap() after unuse_one_window returns.

This finally turns on the sliding window behavior for packfile data
access by mapping limited size windows and chaining them under the
packed_git->windows list.
We consider a given byte offset to be within the window only if there
would be at least 20 bytes (one hash worth of data) accessible after
the requested offset. This range selection relates to the contract
that use_pack() makes with its callers, allowing them to access
one hash or one object header without needing to call use_pack()
for every byte of data obtained.
In the worst case scenario we will map the same page of data twice
into memory: once at the end of one window and once again at the
start of the next window. This duplicate page mapping will happen
only when an object header or a delta base reference is spanned
over the end of a window and is always limited to just one page of
duplication, as no sane operating system will ever have a page size
smaller than a hash.
I am assuming that the possible wasted page of virtual address
space is going to perform faster than the alternatives, which
would be to copy the object header or ref delta into a temporary
buffer prior to parsing, or to check the window range on every byte
during header parsing. We may decide to revisit this decision in
the future since this is just a gut instinct decision and has not
actually been proven out by experimental testing.

When we parse the object header or the delta base reference we

use_pack will always promise us at least 20 bytes (really the hash
size) after the offset. This promise from use_pack simplifies a

zlib library by ensuring there's always some data for it to consume

When multiple mmaps start getting used for all pack file access it
is not possible to get all data associated with a specific object
in one contiguous memory region. This limitation prevents simply
passing a single address and length to SHA1_Update or to inflate.
Instead we need to loop until we have processed all data of interest.
As we loop over the data we are always interested in reusing the same
window 'cursor', as the prior window will no longer be of any use
to us. This allows the use_pack() call to automatically decrement
the use count of the prior window before setting up access for us
to the next window.
Within each loop we need to make use of the available length output
parameter of use_pack() to tell us how many bytes are available in
the current memory region, as we cannot tell otherwise.

Part of the implementation concept of the sliding mmap window for
pack access is to permit multiple windows per pack to be mapped
independently. Since the inuse_cnt is associated with the mmap and
not with the file, this value is in struct pack_window and needs to
be incremented/decremented for each pack_window accessed by any code.
To faciliate that implementation we need to replace all uses of
use_packed_git() and unuse_packed_git() with a different API that
follows struct pack_window objects rather than struct packed_git.
The way this works is when we need to start accessing a pack for
the first time we should setup a new window 'cursor' by declaring
a local and setting it to NULL:
struct pack_windows *w_curs = NULL;
To obtain the memory region which contains a specific section of
the pack file we invoke use_pack(), supplying the address of our
current window cursor:
unsigned int len;
unsigned char *addr = use_pack(p, &w_curs, offset, &len);
the returned address `addr` will be the first byte at `offset`
within the pack file. The optional variable len will also be
updated with the number of bytes remaining following the address.
Multiple calls to use_pack() with the same window cursor will
update the window cursor, moving it from one window to another
when necessary. In this way each window cursor variable maintains
only one struct pack_window inuse at a time.
Finally before exiting the scope which originally declared the window
cursor we must invoke unuse_pack() to unuse the current window (which
may be different from the one that was first obtained from use_pack):
unuse_pack(&w_curs);
This implementation is still not complete with regards to multiple
windows, as only one window per pack file is supported right now.

To efficiently support mmaping of multiple regions of the same pack
file we want to keep the pack's file descriptor open while we are
actively working with that pack. So we are now keeping that file
descriptor in packed_git.pack_fd and closing it only after we unmap
the last window.
This is going to increase the number of file descriptors that are
in use at once, however that will be bounded by the total number of
pack files present and therefore should not be very high. It is
a small tradeoff which we may need to revisit after some testing
can be done on various repositories and systems.
For code clarity we also want to seperate out the implementation
of how we open a pack file from the implementation which locates
a suitable window (or makes a new one) from the given pack file.
Since this is a rather large delta I'm taking advantage of doing
it now, in a fairly isolated change.
When we open a pack file we need to examine the header and trailer
without having a mmap in place, as we may only need to mmap
the middle section of this particular pack. Consequently the
verification code has been refactored to make use of the new

In general users should not need to manually tune such a low-level

If the number of objects (hdr_entries) in the received pack is
below the value of receive.unpackLimit (which is 5000 by default)
then we unpack-objects as we have in the past.
If the hdr_entries >= receive.unpackLimit then we call index-pack and
ask it to include our pid and hostname in the .keep file to make it
easier to identify why a given pack has been kept in the repository.
Currently this leaves every received pack as a kept pack. We really
don't want that as received packs will tend to be small. Instead we

This adds a new object, namely OBJ_OFS_DELTA, renames OBJ_DELTA to
OBJ_REF_DELTA to better make the distinction between those two delta
objects, and adds support for the handling of those new delta objects
in sha1_file.c only.
The OBJ_OFS_DELTA contains a relative offset from the delta object's
position in a pack instead of the 20-byte SHA1 reference to identify
the base object. Since the base is likely to be not so far away, the
relative offset is more likely to have a smaller encoding on average
than an absolute offset. And for those delta objects the base must
always be stored first because there is no way to know the distance of
later objects when streaming a pack. Hence this relative offset is
always meant to be negative.
The offset encoding is slightly denser than the one used for object
size -- credits to <linux@horizon.com> (whoever this is) for bringing
it to my attention.
This allows for pack size reduction between 3.2% (Linux-2.6) to over 5%

Those cleanups are mainly to set the table for the support of deltas
with base objects referenced by offsets instead of sha1. This means
that many pack lookup functions are converted to take a pack/offset
tuple instead of a sha1.
This eliminates many struct pack_entry usages since this structure
carried redundent information in many cases, and it increased stack
footprint needlessly for a couple recursively called functions that used
to declare a local copy of it for every recursion loop.
In the process, packed_object_info_detail() has been reorganized as well

object with new style header, the code makes sure that the piece
we are going to copy out inflates well and inflate() consumes
the data in full while doing so.
The check to see if the xdelta really apply is quite expensive
as you described, because you would need to have the image of
the base object which can be represented as a delta against
something else.

Also while we are at it, remove redundant typename[] array from
unpack_sha1_header. The only reason it is different from the
type_names[] array in object.c module is that this code cares
about the subset of object types that are valid in a loose

which types are valid, and share the name translation with the

As Fredrik points out the current interface of has_extension() is
potentially confusing. Its parameters include both a nul-terminated
string and a length-limited string.
This patch drops the length argument, requiring two nul-terminated
strings; all callsites are updated. I checked that all of them indeed
provide nul-terminated strings. Filenames need to be nul-terminated
anyway if they are to be passed to open() etc. The performance penalty
of the additional strlen() is negligible compared to the system calls
which inevitably surround has_extension() calls.
Additionally, change has_extension() to use size_t inside instead of
int, as that is the exact type strlen() returns and memcmp() expects.

The pack-file format is slightly different from the traditional git
object format, in that it has a much denser binary header encoding.
The traditional format uses an ASCII string with type and length
information, which is somewhat wasteful.
A new object format starts with uncompressed binary header
followed by compressed payload -- this will allow us later to
copy the payload straight to packfiles.
Obviously they cannot be read by older versions of git, so for
now new object files are created with the traditional format.

- updating config file created it under user's umask without

- updating refs created it under user's umask without

- switching branches created .git/HEAD under user's umask

This moves adjust_shared_perm() from sha1_file.c to path.c,

This makes it possible to have a "sparse" git object subdirectory
structure, something that has become much more attractive now that people
use pack-files all the time.
As a result of pack-files, a git object directory doesn't necessarily have
any individual objects lying around, and in that case it's just wasting
space to keep the empty first-level object directories around: on many
filesystems the 256 empty directories will be aboue 1MB of diskspace.
Even more importantly, after you re-pack a project that _used_ to be
unpacked, you could be left with huge directories that no longer contain
anything, but that waste space and take time to look through.
With this change, "git prune-packed" can just do an rmdir() on the
directories, and they'll get removed if empty, and re-created on demand.
This patch also tries to fix up "write_sha1_from_fd()" to use the new
common infrastructure for creating the object files, closing a hole where
we might otherwise leave half-written objects in the object database.
[jc: I unoptimized the part that really removes the fan-out directories
to ease transition. init-db still wastes 1MB of diskspace to hold 256
empty fan-outs, and prune-packed rmdir()'s the grown but empty directories,
but runs mkdir() immediately after that -- reducing the saving from 150KB
to 146KB. These parts will be re-introduced when everybody has the

Upon receiving such a patch, if the patch did not apply cleanly to the
target tree, the recipient can try to find the matching old objects in
her object database and create a temporary tree, apply the patch to
that temporary tree, and attempt a 3-way merge between the patched
temporary tree and the target tree using the original temporary tree
as the common ancestor.
The patch lifts the code to compute the hash for an on-filesystem
object from update-index.c and makes it available to the diff output
routine.

The core part detected and died upon seeing a corrupted packfile, but
did not help the user by telling which packfile is corrupt and how.

An entry in the alternates file can name a directory relative to
the object store it describes. A typical linux-2.6 maintainer
repository would have "../../../torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects" there,
because the subsystem maintainer object store would live in
/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/$u/$system.git/objects/
and the object store of Linus tree is in
/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/
This unfortunately is different from GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES
which is relative to the cwd of the running process, but there is no
way to make it consistent with the behaviour of the environment
variable. The process typically is run in $system.git/ directory for
a naked repository, or one level up for a repository with a working
tree, so we just define it to be relative to the objects/ directory
to be different from either ;-).
Later, the dumb transport could be updated to read from info/alternates
and make requests for the repository the repository borrows from.

We have deprecated the old environment variable names for quite a
while and now it's time to remove them. Gone are:
SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORIES AUTHOR_DATE AUTHOR_EMAIL AUTHOR_NAME
COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY

Hi. This patch contains the following possible cleanups:
* Make some needlessly global functions in local-pull.c static
* Change 'char *' to 'const char *' where appropriate

Omitting the first branch in ?: is a GNU extension. Cute,
but not supported by other compilers. Replaced mostly
by explicit tests. Calls to getenv() simply are repeated
on non-GNU compilers.

Yes, using the same format for the file and the environment variable
was a big mistake. This uses LF as the path separator, and allows
lines that begin with '#' to be comments. ':' is no longer a separator
in objects/info/alternates file.

It was a mistake to use GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES
environment variable to specify what alternate object pools to
look for missing objects when working with an object database.
It is not a property of the process running the git commands,
but a property of the object database that is partial and needs
other object pools to complete the set of objects it lacks.
This patch allows you to have $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info/alternates
whose contents is in exactly the same format as the environment
variable, to let an object database name alternate object pools
it depends on.

If the object to write was packed, both its uncompressed and compressed
data were leaked. If the object was not packed, its file was not unmapped.
[jc: I think it still leaks on the write error path of
write_sha1_to_fd(), but that should be fixable in a small separate
patch.]

Everybody envies rev-parse, who is the only one that can grok
the extended sha1 format. Move the get_extended_sha1() out of
rev-parse, rename it to get_sha1() and make it available to
everybody else.
The one I posted earlier to the list had one bug where it did
not handle a name that ends with a digit correctly (it
incorrectly tried the "Nth parent" path). This commit fixes it.

This causes ssh-pull to request objects in prefetch() and read then in
fetch(), such that it reduces the unpipelined round-trip time.
This also makes sha1_write_from_fd() support having a buffer of data
which it accidentally read from the fd after the object; this was
formerly not a problem, because it would always get a short read at
the end of an object, because the next object had not been
requested. This is no longer true.
