t1301-shared-repo: fix forced modes test

This test was added recently (5a688fe, "core.sharedrepository = 0mode"
should set, not loosen; 2009-03-28). It checked the result of a sed
invocation for emptyness, but in some cases it forgot to print anything
at all, so that those checks would never be false.

Due to this mistake, it went unnoticed that the files in objects/info are
not necessarily 0440, but can also be 0660. Because the 0mode setting
tries to guarantee that the files are accessible only to the people they
are meant to be used by, we should only make sure that they are readable
by the user and the group when the configuration is set to 0660. It is a
separate matter from the core.shredrepository settings that w-bit from
immutable object files under objects/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f] directories should
be dropped.

COMMIT_EDITMSG is still world-readable, but it (and any transient files
that are meant for repositories with a work tree) does not matter. If you
are working on a shared machine and on a sekrit stuff, the root of the
work tree would be with mode 0700 (or 0750 to allow peeking by other
people in the group), and that would mean that .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG in such
a repository would not be readable by the strangers anyway.

Also, in the real-world use case, .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG will be given to an
arbitrary editor the user happens to use, and we have no guarantee what it
does (e.g. it may create a new file with umask and replace, it may rewrite
in place, it may leave an editor backup file but use umask to create it,
etc.), and the protection of the file lies majorly on the protection of
the root of the work tree.

This test cannot be run on Windows; it requires POSIXPERM when merged to
'master'.

t1301: loosen test for forced modesJeff King Tue, 31 Mar 2009 20:36:00 +0000 (16:36 -0400)

t1301: loosen test for forced modes

One of the aspects of the test checked explicitly for the
g+s bit to be set on created directories. However, this is
only the means to an end (the "end" being having the correct
group set). And in fact, on systems where
DIR_HAS_BSD_GROUP_SEMANTICS is set, we do not even need to
use this "means" at all, causing the test to fail.

This patch removes that part of the test. In an ideal world
it would be replaced by a test to check that the group was
properly assigned, but that is difficult to automate because
it requires the user running the test suite be a member of
multiple groups.

set_shared_perm(): sometimes we know what the final mode bits should look like

adjust_shared_perm() first obtains the mode bits from lstat(2), expecting
to find what the result of applying user's umask is, and then tweaks it
as necessary. When the file to be adjusted is created with mkstemp(3),
however, the mode thusly obtained does not have anything to do with user's
umask, and we would need to start from 0444 in such a case and there is no
point running lstat(2) for such a path.

This introduces a new API set_shared_perm() to bypass the lstat(2) and
instead force setting the mode bits to the desired value directly.
adjust_shared_perm() becomes a thin wrapper to the function.

Move chmod(foo, 0444) into move_temp_to_file()Johan Herland Thu, 26 Mar 2009 15:16:47 +0000 (16:16 +0100)

Move chmod(foo, 0444) into move_temp_to_file()

When writing out a loose object or a pack (index), move_temp_to_file() is
called to finalize the resulting file. These files (loose files and packs)
should all have permission mode 0444 (modulo adjust_shared_perm()).
Therefore, instead of doing chmod(foo, 0444) explicitly from each callsite
(or even forgetting to chmod() at all), do the chmod() call from within
move_temp_to_file().

"core.sharedrepository = 0mode" should set, not loosenJunio C Hamano Wed, 25 Mar 2009 23:19:36 +0000 (16:19 -0700)

"core.sharedrepository = 0mode" should set, not loosen

This fixes the behaviour of octal notation to how it is defined in the
documentation, while keeping the traditional "loosen only" semantics
intact for "group" and "everybody".

Three main points of this patch are:

- For an explicit octal notation, the internal shared_repository variable
is set to a negative value, so that we can tell "group" (which is to
"OR" in 0660) and 0660 (which is to "SET" to 0660);

- git-init did not set shared_repository variable early enough to affect
the initial creation of many files, notably copied templates and the
configuration. We set it very early when a command-line option
specifies a custom value.

- Many codepaths create files inside $GIT_DIR by various ways that all
involve mkstemp(), and then call move_temp_to_file() to rename it to
its final destination. We can add adjust_shared_perm() call here; for
the traditional "loosen-only", this would be a no-op for many codepaths
because the mode is already loose enough, but with the new behaviour it
makes a difference.

avoid possible overflow in delta size filtering computationNicolas Pitre Tue, 24 Mar 2009 19:56:12 +0000 (15:56 -0400)

avoid possible overflow in delta size filtering computation

On a 32-bit system, the maximum possible size for an object is less than
4GB, while 64-bit systems may cope with larger objects. Due to this
limitation, variables holding object sizes are using an unsigned long
type (32 bits on 32-bit systems, or 64 bits on 64-bit systems).

When large objects are encountered, and/or people play with large delta
depth values, it is possible for the maximum allowed delta size
computation to overflow, especially on a 32-bit system. When this
occurs, surviving result bits may represent a value much smaller than
what it is supposed to be, or even zero. This prevents some objects
from being deltified although they do get deltified when a smaller depth
limit is used. Fix this by always performing a 64-bit multiplication.

pickaxe: count regex matches only once

When --pickaxe-regex is used, forward past the end of matches instead of
advancing to the byte after their start. This way matches count only
once, even if the regular expression matches their tail -- like in the
fixed-string fork of the code.

E.g.: /.*/ used to count the number of bytes instead of the number of
lines. /aa/ resulted in a count of two in "aaa" instead of one.

Also document the fact that regexec() needs a NUL-terminated string as
its second argument by adding an assert().

Remove total confusion from git-fetch and git-push

The config file is not the only place remotes are defined, and without
consulting .git/remotes and .git/branches, you won't know if "origin" is
configured by the user. Don't give up too early and insult the user with
a wisecrack "Where do you want to fetch from today?"

The only thing the previous patch seems to want to prevent from happening
is a lazy "git fetch/push" that does not say where-from/to to produce an
error message 'origin not found', and we can do that by not letting
add_url_alias() to turn a nickname "origin" literally into a pathname
"origin" without changing the rest of the logic.

read-tree A B C: do not create a bogus index and do not segfault

"git read-tree A B C..." without the "-m" (merge) option is a way to read
these trees on top of each other to get an overlay of them.

An ancient commit ee6566e (Rewrite read-tree, 2005-09-05) passed the
ADD_CACHE_SKIP_DFCHECK flag when calling add_index_entry() to add the
paths obtained from these trees to the index, but it is an incorrect use
of the flag. The flag is meant to be used by callers who know the
addition of the entry does not introduce a D/F conflict to the index in
order to avoid the overhead of checking.

This bug resulted in a bogus index that records both "x" and "x/z" as a
blob after reading three trees that have paths ("x"), ("x", "y"), and
("x/z", "y") respectively. 34110cd (Make 'unpack_trees()' have a separate
source and destination index, 2008-03-06) refactored the callsites of
add_index_entry() incorrectly and added more codepaths that use this flag
when it shouldn't be used.

Also, 0190457 (Move 'unpack_trees()' over to 'traverse_trees()' interface,
2008-03-05) introduced a bug to call add_index_entry() for the tree that
does not have the path in it, passing NULL as a cache entry. This caused
reading multiple trees, one of which has path "x" but another doesn't, to
segfault.

rsync transport: allow local paths, and fix testsJohannes Schindelin Mon, 9 Mar 2009 18:44:55 +0000 (19:44 +0100)

rsync transport: allow local paths, and fix tests

Earlier, the rsync tests were disabled by default, as they needed a
running rsyncd daemon. This was only due to the limitation that our
rsync transport only allowed full URLs of the form

rsync://<host>/<path>

Relaxing the URLs to allow

rsync:<path>

permitted the change in the tests to run whenever rsync is available,
without requiring a fully configured and running rsyncd.

While at it, the tests were fixed so that they run in directories with a
space in their name.

Give error when no remote is configuredDaniel Barkalow Wed, 11 Mar 2009 05:47:20 +0000 (01:47 -0400)

Give error when no remote is configured

When there's no explicitly-named remote, we use the remote specified
for the current branch, which in turn defaults to "origin". But it
this case should require the remote to actually be configured, and not
fall back to the path "origin".

Possibly, the config file's "remote = something" should require the
something to be a configured remote instead of a bare repository URL,
but we actually test with a bare repository URL.

In fetch, we were giving the sensible error message when coming up
with a URL failed, but this wasn't actually reachable, so move that
error up and use it when appropriate.

In push, we need a new error message, because the old one (formerly
unreachable without a lot of help) used the repo name, which was NULL.

optimize compat/ memmem()René Scharfe Mon, 2 Mar 2009 23:19:30 +0000 (00:19 +0100)

optimize compat/ memmem()

When memmem() was imported from glibc 2.2 into compat/, an optimization
was dropped in the process, in order to make the code smaller and simpler.
It was OK because memmem() wasn't used in performance-critical code. Now
the situation has changed and we can benefit from this optimization.

The trick is to avoid calling memcmp() if the first character of the needle
already doesn't match. Checking one character directly is much cheaper
than the function call overhead. We keep the first character of the needle
in the variable named point and the rest in the one named tail.

The following commands were run in a Linux kernel repository and timed, the
best of five results is shown:

$ STRING='Ensure that the real time constraints are schedulable.'

t3400-rebase: Move detached HEAD check earlier

Short story: There is a section in t3400 that tests fundamental rebase
properties. 3ec7371f (Add two extra tests for git rebase, 2009-02-09)
added a check that rebase works on a detached HEAD, but the test was put
near the end of the file. This moves it to a more suitable place.

Long story: The test that preceded the one in question tests that a
rebased commit degrades from a content change with mode change to a
mere mode change. But on Windows, where we have core.filemode=false,
the original commit did not record the mode change, and so the rebase
operation did not rebase anything. This caused the subsequent detached
HEAD test to fail.

There were actually two problems. This recipe created a situation where
git log would output a child commit after its parent. This meant that
we called fix_reversal which called splitvarc, which should call modify_arc
to note the fact that it has modified the arc that it has just split. It
wasn't, which meant that displayorder and other variables got into an
inconsistent state (a commit appearing twice in displayorder).

This then meant that the targetrow/targetid logic in drawvisible thought
it need to redraw each time. That, together with the fact that drawvisible
called drawcommits which called drawvisible if a redraw was needed, led
to the infinite loop.

In fact drawvisible is now the only caller of drawcommits. Thus, the
start and end row arguments to drawcommits always encompass the whole
visible area, so drawcommits doesn't need to call drawvisible to redraw;
it just needs to clear the screen and draw what it's been asked to.

This fixes these two problems by adding a call to modify_arc in
splitvarc and by taking out the call to drawvisible in drawcommits.
It also removes an unrelated left-over debugging puts in external_blame.

bisect: fix quoting TRIED revs when "bad" commit is also "skip"ped

When the "bad" commit was also "skip"ped and when more than one
commit was skipped, the "filter_skipped" function would have
printed something like:

bisect_rev=<hash1>|<hash2>

(where <hash1> and <hash2> are hexadecimal sha1 hashes)

and this would have been evaled later as piping "bisect_rev=<hash1>"
into "<hash2>", which would have failed.

So this patch makes the "filter_skipped" function properly quote
what it outputs, so that it will print something like:

bisect_rev='<hash1>|<hash2>'

which will be properly evaled later. The caller was not stopping
properly because the scriptlet this function returned to be evaled
was not strung together with && and because of this, an error in
an earlier part of the output was simply ignored.

A test case is added to the test suite.

And while at it, we also initialize the VARS, FOUND and TRIED
variables, so that we protect ourselves from environment variables
the user may have with these names.

t5540-http-push.sh: avoid non-portable grep -P

OS X's GNU grep does not support -P/--perl-regexp.

We use a basic RE instead, and simplify the pattern slightly by
replacing '+' with '*' so it can be more easily expressed using a basic
RE. The important part of pattern, checking for a SHA-1 has suffix in
the successful PUT/MOVE operations, remains the same. Also, a-z instead
of a-f was an obvious mistake in the original RE. Here are samples of
what we want to match:

127.0.0.1 - - [26/Feb/2009:22:38:13 +0000] "PUT /test_repo.git/objects/3e/a4fbb9e18a401a6463c595d08118fcb9fb7426_fab55116904c665a95438bcc78521444a7db6096 HTTP/1.1" 201 277

Fix odb_mkstemp() on AIXMike Ralphson Thu, 26 Feb 2009 15:31:52 +0000 (16:31 +0100)

Fix odb_mkstemp() on AIX

The AIX mkstemp() modifies its template parameter to an empty string if
the call fails. The existing code had already recomputed the template,
but too late to be good.

See also 6ff6af62, which fixed this problem in a different spot.

Make sure objects/pack exists before creating a new pack

In a repository created with git older than f49fb35 (git-init-db: create
"pack" subdirectory under objects, 2005-06-27), objects/pack/ directory is
not created upon initialization. It was Ok because subdirectories are
created as needed inside directories init-db creates, and back then,
packfiles were recent invention.

After the said commit, new codepaths started relying on the presense of
objects/pack/ directory in the repository. This was exacerbated with
8b4eb6b (Do not perform cross-directory renames when creating packs,
2008-09-22) that moved the location temporary pack files are created from
objects/ directory to objects/pack/ directory, because moving temporary to
the final location was done carefully with lazy leading directory creation.

Many packfile related operations in such an old repository can fail
mysteriously because of this.

This commit introduces two helper functions to make things work better.

- odb_mkstemp() is a specialized version of mkstemp() to refactor the
code and teach it to create leading directories as needed;

- odb_pack_keep() refactors the code to create a ".keep" file while
create leading directories as needed.
