The sed provided by Solaris in /usr/xpg4/bin has a bug whereby an
unanchored regex using * for zero or more repetitions sees two
separate matches fed to the substitution engine in some cases.
This is evidenced by:
$ for sed in /usr/xpg4/bin/sed /usr/bin/sed /opt/csw/gnu/sed; do \
echo 'ab' | $sed -e 's|[a]*|X|g'; \
done
XXbX
XbX
XbX
This bug was triggered during a git submodule clone operation as
exercised in the setup stage of t5526-fetch-submodules when using the
default SANE_TOOL_PATH for Solaris. It led to paths such as
..../.. being used in the submodule .git gitdir reference.
Using the expression 's|\([^/]*\(/*\)\)|..\2|g' provides the desired
result with all three three tested sed implementations but is harder
to read. As we do not need to handle fully qualified paths though,
the expression could actually be [^/]+ which isn't properly handled
either. Instead, use [^/][^/]*, as suggested by Andreas Schwab, which
works on all three tested sed implementations.
The new expression is semantically different than the original one.
It will not place a leading '..' on a fully qualified path as the
original expression did. All of the paths being passed through this
regex are relative and did not rely on this behaviour so it's a safe
change.

When execvp reports EACCES, it can be one of two things:
1. We found a file to execute, but did not have
permissions to do so.
2. We did not have permissions to look in some directory
in the $PATH.
In the former case, we want to consider this a
permissions problem and report it to the user as such (since
getting this for something like "git foo" is likely a
configuration error).
In the latter case, there is a good chance that the
inaccessible directory does not contain anything of
interest. Reporting "permission denied" is confusing to the
user (and prevents our usual "did you mean...?" lookup). It
also prevents git from trying alias lookup, since we do so
only when an external command does not exist (not when it
exists but has an error).
This patch detects EACCES from execvp, checks whether we are
in case (2), and if so converts errno to ENOENT. This
behavior matches that of "bash" (but not of simpler shells
that use execvp more directly, like "dash").

The POSIX standard specifies a return type of int for all six exec
functions. In addition, all exec functions return -1 on error, and
simply do not return on success. However, the current emulation of
the exec functions on mingw are declared with a void return type.
This would cause a problem should any code attempt to call the
exec function in a non-void context. In particular, if an exec
function were used in a conditional it would fail to compile.
In order to improve the fidelity of the emulation, we change the
return type of the mingw_execv[p] functions to int and return -1
on error.

The user can say "git push" without specifying any refspec. When using
the "upstream" semantics via the push.default configuration, the user
wants to update the "upstream" branch of the current branch, which is the
branch at a remote repository the current branch is set to integrate with,
with this command.
However, there are cases that such a "git push" that uses the "upstream"
semantics does not make sense:
- The current branch does not have branch.$name.remote configured. By
definition, "git push" that does not name where to push to will not
know where to push to. The user may explicitly say "git push $there",
but again, by definition, no branch at repository $there is set to
integrate with the current branch in this case and we wouldn't know
which remote branch to update.
- The current branch does have branch.$name.remote configured, but it
does not specify branch.$name.merge that names what branch at the
remote this branch integrates with. "git push" knows where to push in
this case (or the user may explicitly say "git push $remote" to tell us
where to push), but we do not know which remote branch to update.
- The current branch does have its remote and upstream branch configured,
but the user said "git push $there", where $there is not the remote
named by "branch.$name.remote". By definition, no branch at repository
$there is set to integrate with the current branch in this case, and
this push is not meant to update any branch at the remote repository
$there.
The first two cases were already checked correctly, but the third case was
not checked and we ended up updating the branch named branch.$name.merge
at repository $there, which was totally bogus.

When "add -p" sees an unmerged entry, it shows the combined
diff and then immediately skips the hunk. This can be
confusing in a variety of ways, depending on whether there
are other changes to stage (in which case you get the
superfluous combined diff output in between other hunks) or
not (in which case you get the combined diff and the program
exits immediately, rather than seeing "No changes").
The current behavior was not planned, and is just what the
implementation happens to do. Instead, let's explicitly
remove unmerged entries from our list of modified files, and
print a warning that we are ignoring them.
We can cheaply find which entries are unmerged by adding
"--raw" output to the "diff-files --numstat" we already run.
There is one non-obvious thing we must change when parsing
this combined output. Before this patch, when we saw a
numstat line for a file that did not have index changes, we
would create a new record with 'unchanged' in the 'INDEX'
field. Because "--raw" comes before "--numstat", we must
move this special-case down to the raw-line case (and it is
sufficient to move it rather than handle it in both places,
since any file which has a --numstat will also have a --raw
entry).

During the testing of the 1.7.10 rc series on Solaris for OpenCSW, it
was discovered that t7006-pager was failing due to finding a bad "sh"
in PATH after a call to execvp("sh", ...). This call was setup by
run_command.c:prepare_shell_cmd.
The PATH in use at the time saw /opt/csw/bin given precedence to
traditional Solaris paths such as /usr/bin and /usr/xpg4/bin. A
package named schilyutils (Joerg Schilling's utilities) was installed
on the build system and it delivered a modified version of the
traditional Solaris /usr/bin/sh as /opt/csw/bin/sh. This version of
sh suffers from many of the same problems as /usr/bin/sh.
The command-specific pager test failed due to the broken "sh" handling
^ as a pipe character. It tried to fork two processes when it
encountered "sed s/^/foo:/" as the pager command. This problem was
entirely dependent on the PATH of the user at runtime.
Possible fixes for this issue are:
1. Use the standard system() or popen() which both launch a POSIX
shell on Solaris as long as _POSIX_SOURCE is defined.
2. The git wrapper could prepend SANE_TOOL_PATH to PATH thus forcing
all unqualified commands run to use the known good tools on the
system.
3. The run_command.c:prepare_shell_command() could use the same
SHELL_PATH that is in the #! line of all all scripts and not rely
on PATH to find the sh to run.
Option 1 would preclude opening a bidirectional pipe to a filter
script and would also break git for Windows as cmd.exe is spawned from
system() (cf. v1.7.5-rc0~144^2, "alias: use run_command api to execute
aliases, 2011-01-07).
Option 2 is not friendly to users as it would negate their ability to
use tools of their choice in many cases. Alternately, injecting
SANE_TOOL_PATH such that it takes precedence over /bin and /usr/bin
(and anything with lower precedence than those paths) as
git-sh-setup.sh does would not solve the problem either as the user
environment could still allow a bad sh to be found. (Many OpenCSW
users will have /opt/csw/bin leading their PATH and some subset would
have schilyutils installed.)
Option 3 allows us to use a known good shell while still honouring the
users' PATH for the utilities being run. Thus, it solves the problem
while not negatively impacting either users or git's ability to run
external commands in convenient ways. Essentially, the shell is a
special case of tool that should not rely on SANE_TOOL_PATH and must
be called explicitly.
With this patch applied, any code path leading to
run_command.c:prepare_shell_cmd can count on using the same sane shell
that all shell scripts in the git suite use. Both the build system
and run_command.c will default this shell to /bin/sh unless
overridden.

If a remote repo has too many tags (or branches), cloning it over the
smart HTTP transport can fail because remote-curl.c puts all the refs
from the remote repo on the fetch-pack command line. This can make the
command line longer than the global OS command line limit, causing
fetch-pack to fail.
This is especially a problem on Windows where the command line limit is
orders of magnitude shorter than Linux. There are already real repos out
there that msysGit cannot clone over smart HTTP due to this problem.
Here is an easy way to trigger this problem:
git init too-many-refs
cd too-many-refs
echo bla > bla.txt
git add .
git commit -m test
sha=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
tag=$(perl -e 'print "bla" x 30')
for i in `seq 50000`; do
echo $sha refs/tags/$tag-$i >> .git/packed-refs
done
Then share this repo over the smart HTTP protocol and try cloning it:
$ git clone http://localhost/.../too-many-refs/.git
Cloning into 'too-many-refs'...
fatal: cannot exec 'fetch-pack': Argument list too long
50k tags is obviously an absurd number, but it is required to
demonstrate the problem on Linux because it has a much more generous
command line limit. On Windows the clone fails with as little as 500
tags in the above loop, which is getting uncomfortably close to the
number of tags you might see in real long lived repos.
This is not just theoretical, msysGit is already failing to clone our
company repo due to this. It's a large repo converted from CVS, nearly
10 years of history.
Four possible solutions were discussed on the Git mailing list (in no
particular order):
1) Call fetch-pack multiple times with smaller batches of refs.
This was dismissed as inefficient and inelegant.
2) Add option --refs-fd=$n to pass a an fd from where to read the refs.
This was rejected because inheriting descriptors other than
stdin/stdout/stderr through exec() is apparently problematic on Windows,
plus it would require changes to the run-command API to open extra
pipes.
3) Add option --refs-from=$tmpfile to pass the refs using a temp file.
This was not favored because of the temp file requirement.
4) Add option --stdin to pass the refs on stdin, one per line.
In the end this option was chosen as the most efficient and most
desirable from scripting perspective.
There was however a small complication when using stdin to pass refs to
fetch-pack. The --stateless-rpc option to fetch-pack also uses stdin for
communication with the remote server.
If we are going to sneak refs on stdin line by line, it would have to be
done very carefully in the presence of --stateless-rpc, because when
reading refs line by line we might read ahead too much data into our
buffer and eat some of the remote protocol data which is also coming on
stdin.
One way to solve this would be to refactor get_remote_heads() in
fetch-pack.c to accept a residual buffer from our stdin line parsing
above, but this function is used in several places so other callers
would be burdened by this residual buffer interface even when most of
them don't need it.
In the end we settled on the following solution:
If --stdin is specified without --stateless-rpc, fetch-pack would read
the refs from stdin one per line, in a script friendly format.
However if --stdin is specified together with --stateless-rpc,
fetch-pack would read the refs from stdin in packetized format
(pkt-line) with a flush packet terminating the list of refs. This way we
can read the exact number of bytes that we need from stdin, and then
get_remote_heads() can continue reading from the same fd without losing
a single byte of remote protocol data.
This way the --stdin option only loses generality and scriptability when
used together with --stateless-rpc, which is not easily scriptable
anyway because it also uses pkt-line when talking to the remote server.

Some distributors customize the fallback pager and editor used by git
commands when the user has not indicated a preference via the
core.editor/core.pager configuration or GIT_EDITOR, GIT_PAGER, VISUAL,
EDITOR, and PAGER environment variables, and git's build system
provides DEFAULT_PAGER and DEFAULT_EDITOR makefile settings to help
them with that (see v1.6.6-rc0~24, 2009-11-20).
Unfortunately those compile-time settings do not affect the
documentation, so the uninitiated user who tries to understand git by
reading the git-var(1) manpage can easily be confused when git falls
back to 'nano' and 'more' instead of 'vi' and 'less'. Even if the
distributor patches the distributed docs to reflect the new default,
the user may read the official documentation from the git-htmldocs
repository online and be confused in the same way.
Add a few words stating that the defaults are customizable at

The http-backend program sets default GIT_COMMITTER_NAME and
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL variables based on the REMOTE_USER and
REMOTE_ADDR variables provided by the webserver. However, it
unconditionally overwrites any existing GIT_COMMITTER
variables, which may have been customized by site-specific
code in the webserver (or in a script wrapping http-backend).
Let's leave those variables intact if they already exist,
assuming that any such configuration was intentional. There
is a slight chance of a regression if somebody has set
GIT_COMMITTER_* for the entire webserver, not intending it
to leak through http-backend. We could protect against this
by passing the information in alternate variables. However,
it seems unlikely that anyone will care about that
regression, and there is value in the simplicity of using
the common variable names that are used elsewhere in git.
While we're tweaking the environment-handling in
http-backend, let's switch it to use argv_array to handle
the list of variables. That makes the memory management much
simpler.
