make_nonrelative_path is by renaming them real_path and absolute_path

gitweb: highlight: replace tabs with spacesKevin Cernekee Wed, 16 Mar 2011 22:34:13 +0000 (15:34 -0700)

gitweb: highlight: replace tabs with spaces

Consider the following code fragment:

/*
* test
*/

vim ":set list" mode shows that the first character on each line is a
tab:

^I/*$
^I * test$
^I */$

By default, the "highlight" program will retain the tabs in the HTML
output:

$ highlight --fragment --syntax c test.c
<span class="hl com">/*</span>
<span class="hl com"> * test</span>
<span class="hl com"> */</span>

vim list mode:

^I<span class="hl com">/*</span>$
<span class="hl com">^I * test</span>$
<span class="hl com">^I */</span>$

In gitweb, this winds up looking something like:

1 /*
2 * test
3 */

I tried both Firefox and Opera and saw the same behavior.

The desired output is:

1 /*
2 * test
3 */

This can be accomplished by specifying "--replace-tabs=8" on the
highlight command line.

valgrind: ignore SSE-based strlen invalid readsCarlos Martín Nieto Wed, 16 Mar 2011 11:46:01 +0000 (12:46 +0100)

valgrind: ignore SSE-based strlen invalid reads

Some versions of strlen use SSE to speed up the calculation and load 4
bytes at a time, even if it means reading past the end of the
allocated memory. This read is safe and when the strlen function is
inlined, it is not replaced by valgrind, which reports a
false-possitive.

Tell valgrind to ignore this particular error, as the read is, in
fact, safe. Current upstream-released version 3.6.1 is affected. Some
distributions have this fixed in their latest versions.

diff --submodule: split into bite-sized pieces

Introduce two functions:

- prepare_submodule_summary prepares the revision walker
to list changes in a submodule. That is, it:

* finds merge bases between the commits pointed to this
path from before ("left") and after ("right") the change;
* checks whether this is a fast-forward or fast-backward;
* prepares a revision walk to list commits in the symmetric
difference between the commits at each endpoint.

It returns nonzero on error.

- print_submodule_summary runs the revision walk and saves
the result to a strbuf in --left-right format.

The goal is just readability. No functional change intended.

standardize brace placement in struct definitionsJonathan Nieder Wed, 16 Mar 2011 07:08:34 +0000 (02:08 -0500)

standardize brace placement in struct definitions

In a struct definitions, unlike functions, the prevailing style is for
the opening brace to go on the same line as the struct name, like so:

struct foo {
int bar;
char *baz;
};

Indeed, grepping for 'struct [a-z_]* {$' yields about 5 times as many
matches as 'struct [a-z_]*$'.

doc: add missing git footers

Almost every page has a footer that links back to the main
git(1) page. Let's add it on the few that are missing it.

doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesJeff King Fri, 11 Mar 2011 05:52:08 +0000 (00:52 -0500)

doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pages

The point of these sections is generally to:

1. Give credit where it is due.

2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.

But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.

So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.

Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

The description was unclear if -c or --cc was the default (--cc is for
some commands), and incorrectly implied that the default applies to
all the diff generating commands.

Most importantly, "log" does not default to "--cc" (it defaults to
"--no-merges") and "log -p" obeys the user's wish to see non-combined
format. Only "diff" (during merge and three-blob comparison) and
"show" use --cc as the default.

add packet tracing debug codeJeff King Thu, 24 Feb 2011 14:30:19 +0000 (09:30 -0500)

add packet tracing debug code

This shows a trace of all packets coming in or out of a given
program. This can help with debugging object negotiation or
other protocol issues.

To keep the code changes simple, we operate at the lowest
level, meaning we don't necessarily understand what's in the
packets. The one exception is a packet starting with "PACK",
which causes us to skip that packet and turn off tracing
(since the gigantic pack data will not be interesting to
read, at least not in the trace format).

We show both written and read packets. In the local case,
this may mean you will see packets twice (written by the
sender and read by the receiver). However, for cases where
the other end is remote, this allows you to see the full
conversation.

Packet tracing can be enabled with GIT_TRACE_PACKET=<foo>,
where <foo> takes the same arguments as GIT_TRACE.

As we add more tracing areas, this will avoid repeated code.

Technically, trace_printf already checks this and will avoid

they can avoid doing work in the common non-trace case.

Right now you turn all tracing off and on with GIT_TRACE. To
support new types of tracing without forcing the user to see
all of them, we will soon support turning each tracing area

which does not assume GIT_TRACE. However, we still maintain

need to be refactored.

compat: fall back on __va_copy if available

Since an obvious implementation of va_list is to make it a pointer
into the stack frame, implementing va_copy as "dst = src" will work on
many systems. Platforms that use something different (e.g., a size-1
array of structs, to be assigned with *(dst) = *(src)) will need some
other compatibility macro, though.

Luckily, as the glibc manual hints, such systems tend to provide the
__va_copy macro (introduced in GCC in March, 1997). By using that if
it is available, we can cover our bases pretty well.

Discovered by building with CC="gcc -std=c89" on an amd64 machine:

$ make CC=c89 strbuf.o
[...]
strbuf.c: In function 'strbuf_vaddf':
strbuf.c:211:2: error: incompatible types when assigning to type 'va_list'

git-compat-util.h: Honor HP C's noreturn attribute

HP C for Integrity servers (Itanium) gained support for noreturn
attribute sometime in 2006. It was released in Compiler Version
A.06.10 and made available in July 2006.

The __HP_cc define detects the HP C compiler version. Precede the
__GNUC__ check so it works well when compiling with HP C using -Agcc
option that enables partial support for the GNU C dialect. The -Agcc
defines the __GNUC__ too.

apply: do not patch lines that were already patchedJunio C Hamano Fri, 4 Mar 2011 20:25:34 +0000 (12:25 -0800)

apply: do not patch lines that were already patched

When looking for a place to apply a hunk, we used to check lines that
match the preimage of it, starting from the line that the patch wants to
apply the hunk at, looking forward and backward with increasing offsets
until we find a match.

Colin Guthrie found an interesting case where this misapplied a patch that
wanted to touch a preimage that consists of

}
}

return 0;
}

which is a rather unfortunately common pattern.

The target version of the file originally had only one such location, but
the hunk immediately before that created another instance of such block of
lines, and find_pos() happily reported that the preimage of the hunk
matched what it wanted to modify.

Oops.

By marking the lines application of earlier hunks touched and preventing
match_fragment() from considering them as a match with preimage of other
hunks, we can reduce such an accident.

I also considered to teach apply_one_fragment() to take the offset we have
found while applying the previous hunk into account when looking for a
match with find_pos(), but dismissed that approach, because it would
sometimes work better but sometimes worse, depending on the difference
between the version the patch was created against and the version the
patch is being applied.

This does _not_ prevent misapplication of patches to a file that has many
similar looking blocks of lines and a preimage cannot identify which one
of them should be applied. For that, we would need to scan beyond the
first match in find_pos(), and issue a warning (or error out). That will
be a separate topic.

If a pack file is small enough that its entire contents fits within
one mmap window, mmap the file and then immediately close its file
descriptor. This reduces the number of file descriptors that are
needed to read from repositories with many tiny pack files, such
as one that has received 1000 pushes (and created 1000 small pack
files) since its last repack.
