t6042: add testcase covering long chains of rename conflicts

Each rename is a lego: the source side could be connected to a delete or
another rename, and the destination side could be connected to a rename or a
conflicting add. Previous tests combined these to get e.g.
rename/rename(1to2)/add/add, rename/rename(2to1)/delete/delete, and
rename/add/delete. But we can also build bigger chains of conflicts. Add a
testcase demonstrating this.

If either side of a rename/rename(2to1) conflict is itself also involved
in a rename/delete conflict, then the conflict is a little more complex;
we can even have what I'd call a rename/rename(2to1)/delete/delete
conflict. (In some ways, this is similar to a rename/rename(1to2)/add/add
conflict, as added in commit 3672c9714830 ("merge-recursive: Fix working

when there are changes staged before the merge starts. However, it only

index_has_changes(): avoid assuming operating on the_index

Modify index_has_changes() to take a struct istate* instead of just

because we call do_diff_cache() which implicitly assumes work is to be

This test uses a subshell within a subshell but is formatted in such a
way as to suggests that the inner subshell is a sibling rather than a
child, which makes it difficult to digest the test's structure and
intent.

Worse, the inner subshell performs cleanup of actions from earlier in
the test, however, a failure between the initial actions and the cleanup
will prevent the cleanup from taking place.

Fix these problems by modernizing and simplifying the test and by using
test_when_finished() for the cleanup action.

The test wants to verify that replacing a submodule containing a .git
directory will absorb the .git directory into the .git/modules/ of the
superproject, and then replace the working tree content appropriate to
the superproject. It is, therefore, incorrect to check if the
submodule content still exists since the submodule will have been
replaced by the content of the superproject.

Fix this by removing the submodule content check, which also happens
to be the line that broke the &&-chain.

block alloc: allocate cache entries from mem_poolJameson Miller Mon, 2 Jul 2018 19:49:37 +0000 (19:49 +0000)

block alloc: allocate cache entries from mem_pool

When reading large indexes from disk, a portion of the time is
dominated in malloc() calls. This can be mitigated by allocating a
large block of memory and manage it ourselves via memory pools.

This change moves the cache entry allocation to be on top of memory
pools.

Design:

The index_state struct will gain a notion of an associated memory_pool
from which cache_entries will be allocated from. When reading in the
index from disk, we have information on the number of entries and
their size, which can guide us in deciding how large our initial
memory allocation should be. When an index is discarded, the
associated memory_pool will be discarded as well - so the lifetime of
a cache_entry is tied to the lifetime of the index_state that it was
allocated for.

In the case of a Split Index, the following rules are followed. 1st,
some terminology is defined:

Terminology:
- 'the_index': represents the logical view of the index

- 'split_index': represents the "base" cache entries. Read from the
split index file.

'the_index' can reference a single split_index, as well as
cache_entries from the split_index. `the_index` will be discarded
before the `split_index` is. This means that when we are allocating
cache_entries in the presence of a split index, we need to allocate
the entries from the `split_index`'s memory pool. This allows us to
follow the pattern that `the_index` can reference cache_entries from
the `split_index`, and that the cache_entries will not be freed while
they are still being referenced.

Managing transient cache_entry structs:
Cache entries are usually allocated for an index, but this is not always
the case. Cache entries are sometimes allocated because this is the
type that the existing checkout_entry function works with. Because of
this, the existing code needs to handle cache entries associated with an
index / memory pool, and those that only exist transiently. Several
strategies were contemplated around how to handle this:

Chosen approach:
An extra field was added to the cache_entry type to track whether the
cache_entry was allocated from a memory pool or not. This is currently
an int field, as there are no more available bits in the existing
ce_flags bit field. If / when more bits are needed, this new field can
be turned into a proper bit field.

Alternatives:

1) Do not include any information about how the cache_entry was
allocated. Calling code would be responsible for tracking whether the
cache_entry needed to be freed or not.
Pro: No extra memory overhead to track this state
Con: Extra complexity in callers to handle this correctly.

The extra complexity and burden to not regress this behavior in the
future was more than we wanted.

2) cache_entry would gain knowledge about which mem_pool allocated it
Pro: Could (potentially) do extra logic to know when a mem_pool no
longer had references to any cache_entry
Con: cache_entry would grow heavier by a pointer, instead of int

We didn't see a tangible benefit to this approach

3) Do not add any extra information to a cache_entry, but when freeing a
cache entry, check if the memory exists in a region managed by existing
mem_pools.
Pro: No extra memory overhead to track state
Con: Extra computation is performed when freeing cache entries

We decided tracking and iterating over known memory pool regions was
less desirable than adding an extra field to track this stae.

mem-pool: add life cycle management functions

Add initialization and discard functions to mem_pool type. As the
memory allocated by mem_pool can now be freed, we also track the large
allocations.

If the there are existing mp_blocks in the mem_poo's linked list of
mp_blocksl, then the mp_block for a large allocation is inserted
behind the head block. This is because only the head mp_block is considered
when searching for availble space. This results in the following
desirable properties:

1) The mp_block allocated for the large request will not be included
not included in the search for available in future requests, the large
mp_block is sized for the specific request and does not contain any
spare space.

2) The head mp_block will not bumped from considation for future
memory requests just because a request for a large chunk of memory
came in.

These changes are in preparation for a future commit that will utilize

mem-pool: only search head block for available space

Instead of searching all memory blocks for available space to fulfill
a memory request, only search the head block. If the head block does
not have space, assume that previous block would most likely not be
able to fulfill request either. This could potentially lead to more
memory fragmentation, but also avoids searching memory blocks that
probably will not be able to fulfill request.

This pattern will benefit consumers that are able to generate a good
estimate for how much memory will be needed, or if they are performing
fixed sized allocations, so that once a block is exhausted it will
never be able to fulfill a future request.

block alloc: add lifecycle APIs for cache_entry structsJameson Miller Mon, 2 Jul 2018 19:49:31 +0000 (19:49 +0000)

block alloc: add lifecycle APIs for cache_entry structs

It has been observed that the time spent loading an index with a large
number of entries is partly dominated by malloc() calls. This change
is in preparation for using memory pools to reduce the number of
malloc() calls made to allocate cahce entries when loading an index.

Add an API to allocate and discard cache entries, abstracting the
details of managing the memory backing the cache entries. This commit
does actually change how memory is managed - this will be done in a
later commit in the series.

This change makes the distinction between cache entries that are
associated with an index and cache entries that are not associated with
an index. A main use of cache entries is with an index, and we can
optimize the memory management around this. We still have other cases
where a cache entry is not persisted with an index, and so we need to
handle the "transient" use case as well.

To keep the congnitive overhead of managing the cache entries, there
will only be a single discard function. This means there must be enough
information kept with the cache entry so that we know how to discard
them.

A summary of the main functions in the API is:

make_cache_entry: create cache entry for use in an index. Uses specified
parameters to populate cache_entry fields.

make_empty_cache_entry: Create an empty cache entry for use in an index.
Returns cache entry with empty fields.

make_transient_cache_entry: create cache entry that is not used in an
index. Uses specified parameters to populate
cache_entry fields.

make_empty_transient_cache_entry: create cache entry that is not used in
an index. Returns cache entry with
empty fields.

discard_cache_entry: A single function that knows how to discard a cache
entry regardless of how it was allocated.

fsck: check skiplist for object in fsck_blob()Ramsay Jones Wed, 27 Jun 2018 18:39:53 +0000 (19:39 +0100)

fsck: check skiplist for object in fsck_blob()

Since commit ed8b10f631 ("fsck: check .gitmodules content", 2018-05-02),
fsck will issue an error message for '.gitmodules' content that cannot
be parsed correctly. This is the case, even when the corresponding blob
object has been included on the skiplist. For example, using the cgit
repository, we see the following:

$ git fsck
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
error: bad config line 5 in blob .gitmodules
error in blob 51dd1eff1edc663674df9ab85d2786a40f7ae3a5: gitmodulesParse: could not parse gitmodules blob
Checking objects: 100% (6626/6626), done.
$

$ git config fsck.skiplist '.git/skip'
$ echo 51dd1eff1edc663674df9ab85d2786a40f7ae3a5 >.git/skip
$

$ git fsck
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
error: bad config line 5 in blob .gitmodules
Checking objects: 100% (6626/6626), done.
$

Note that the error message issued by the config parser is still
present, despite adding the object-id of the blob to the skiplist.

One solution would be to provide a means of suppressing the messages
issued by the config parser. However, given that (logically) we are
asking fsck to ignore this object, a simpler approach is to just not
call the config parser if the object is to be skipped. Add a check to
the 'fsck_blob()' processing function, to determine if the object is
on the skiplist and, if so, exit the function early.

If there's a parsing error we'll already report it via the

Note that we didn't test this case at all, so I've added
coverage in t7415. We may end up toning down or removing
this fsck check in the future. So take this test as checking
what happens now with a focus on stderr, and not any
ironclad guarantee that we must detect and report parse
failures in the future.

Instead, let's add it to the config_options struct. When
it's not set (or we have no options) we'll continue to fall

commit-slabs: remove realloc counter outside of slab struct

The realloc counter is declared outside the struct for the given slabname,
which makes it harder for a follow up patch to move the declaration of the
struct around as then the counter variable would need special treatment.

As the reallocation counter is currently unused we can just remove it.
If we ever need to count the reallocations again, we can reintroduce
the counter as part of 'struct slabname' in commit-slab-decl.h.

Makefile: fix the "built from commit" codeJohannes Schindelin Wed, 27 Jun 2018 19:35:23 +0000 (21:35 +0200)

Makefile: fix the "built from commit" code

In ed32b788c06 (version --build-options: report commit, too, if
possible, 2017-12-15), we introduced code to let `git version
--build-options` report the current commit from which the binaries were
built, if any.

To prevent erroneous commits from being reported (e.g. when unpacking
Git's source code from a .tar.gz file into a subdirectory of a different
Git project, as e.g. git_osx_installer does), we painstakingly set
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES when trying to determine the current commit.

Except that we got the quoting wrong, and that variable therefore does
not have the desired effect.

The issue is that the $(shell) is resolved before the output is stuffed
into the command-line with -DGIT_BUILT_FROM_COMMIT, and therefore is
*not* inside quotes. And thus backslashing the quotes is wrong, as the
quote gets literally inserted into the CEILING_DIRECTORIES variable.

Let's fix that quoting, and while at it, also suppress the unhelpful
message

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

that gets printed to stderr if no current commit could be determined,
and might scare the occasional developer who simply tries to build Git
from scratch.

Documentation: declare "core.ignoreCase" as internal variable

The current description of "core.ignoreCase" reads like an option which
is intended to be changed by the user while it's actually expected to
be set by Git on initialization only. Subsequently, Git relies on the
proper configuration of this variable, as noted by Bryan Turner [1]:

Git on a case-insensitive filesystem (APFS, HFS+, FAT32, exFAT,
vFAT, NTFS, etc.) is not designed to be run with anything other
than core.ignoreCase=true.

The commit-graph feature shipped in Git 2.18 has some inconsistencies in
the constants used by the implementation and specified by the format
document.

The commit data chunk uses the key "CDAT" in the file format, but was
previously documented to say "CGET".

The commit data chunk stores commit parents using two 32-bit fields that
typically store the integer position of the parent in the list of commit
ids within the commit-graph file. When a parent does not exist, we had
documented the value 0xffffffff, but implemented the value 0x70000000.
This swap is easy to correct in the documentation, but unfortunately
reduces the number of commits that we can store in the commit-graph.
Update that estimate, too.

fetch-pack: implement ref-in-wantBrandon Williams Wed, 27 Jun 2018 22:30:23 +0000 (15:30 -0700)

fetch-pack: implement ref-in-want

Implement ref-in-want on the client side so that when a server supports
the "ref-in-want" feature, a client will send "want-ref" lines for each
reference the client wants to fetch. This feature allows clients to
tolerate inconsistencies that exist when a remote repository's refs
change during the course of negotiation.

This allows a client to request to request a particular ref without
specifying the OID of the ref. This means that instead of hitting an
error when a ref no longer points at the OID it did at the beginning of
negotiation, negotiation can continue and the value of that ref will be
sent at the termination of negotiation, just before a packfile is sent.

More information on the ref-in-want feature can be found in
Documentation/technical/protocol-v2.txt.

fetch-pack: put shallow info in output parameter

Expand the transport fetch method signature, by adding an output
parameter, to allow transports to return information about the refs they
have fetched. Then communicate shallow status information through this
mechanism instead of by modifying the input list of refs.

This does require clients to sometimes generate the ref map twice: once
from the list of refs provided by the remote (as is currently done) and
potentially once from the new list of refs that the fetch mechanism
provides.

Refactor find_non_local_tags and get_ref_map to only take the

improving code clarity, this also improves their flexibility, allowing
for a different set of refs to be used instead of relying on the ones

upload-pack: test negotiation with changing repository

Add tests to check the behavior of fetching from a repository which
changes between rounds of negotiation (for example, when different
servers in a load-balancing agreement participate in the same stateless
RPC negotiation). This forms a baseline of comparison to the ref-in-want
functionality (which will be introduced to the client in subsequent
commits), and ensures that subsequent commits do not change existing
behavior.

As part of this effort, a mechanism to substitute strings in a single
HTTP response is added.

upload-pack: implement ref-in-want

Currently, while performing packfile negotiation, clients are only
allowed to specify their desired objects using object ids. This causes
a vulnerability to failure when an object turns non-existent during
negotiation, which may happen if, for example, the desired repository is
provided by multiple Git servers in a load-balancing arrangement and
there exists replication delay.

In order to eliminate this vulnerability, implement the ref-in-want
feature for the 'fetch' command in protocol version 2. This feature
enables the 'fetch' command to support requests in the form of ref names
through a new "want-ref <ref>" parameter. At the conclusion of
negotiation, the server will send a list of all of the wanted references
(as provided by "want-ref" lines) in addition to the generated packfile.

Fix use of strategy options with interactive rebasesElijah Newren Wed, 27 Jun 2018 15:48:04 +0000 (08:48 -0700)

Fix use of strategy options with interactive rebases

git-rebase.sh wrote strategy options to .git/rebase/merge/strategy_opts
in the following format:
'--ours' '--renormalize'
Note the double spaces.

git-rebase--interactive uses sequencer.c to parse that file, and
sequencer.c used split_cmdline() to get the individual strategy options.
After splitting, sequencer.c prefixed each "option" with a double dash,
so, concatenating all its options would result in:
-- --ours -- --renormalize

So, when it ended up calling try_merge_strategy(), that in turn would run
git merge-$strategy -- --ours -- --renormalize $merge_base -- $head $remote

instead of the expected/desired
git merge-$strategy --ours --renormalize $merge_base -- $head $remote

Remove the extra spaces so that when it goes through split_cmdline() we end
up with the desired command line.

git-rebase: make --allow-empty-message the defaultElijah Newren Wed, 27 Jun 2018 07:23:19 +0000 (00:23 -0700)

git-rebase: make --allow-empty-message the default

rebase backends currently behave differently with empty commit messages,
largely as a side-effect of the different underlying commands on which
they are based. am-based rebases apply commits with an empty commit
message without stopping or requiring the user to specify an extra flag.
(It is interesting to note that am-based rebases are the default rebase
type, and no one has ever requested a --no-allow-empty-message flag to
change this behavior.) merge-based and interactive-based rebases (which
are ultimately based on git-commit), will currently halt on any such
commits and require the user to manually specify what to do with the
commit and continue.

One possible rationale for the difference in behavior is that the purpose
of an "am" based rebase is solely to transplant an existing history, while
an "interactive" rebase is one whose purpose is to polish a series before
making it publishable. Thus, stopping and asking for confirmation for a
possible problem is more appropriate in the latter case. However, there
are two problems with this rationale:

1) merge-based rebases are also non-interactive and there are multiple
types of rebases that use the interactive machinery but are not
explicitly interactive (e.g. when either --rebase-merges or
--keep-empty are specified without --interactive). These rebases are
also used solely to transplant an existing history, and thus also
should default to --allow-empty-message.

2) this rationale only says that the user is more accepting of stopping
in the case of an explicitly interactive rebase, not that stopping
for this particular reason actually makes sense. Exploring whether
it makes sense, requires backing up and analyzing the underlying
commands...

If git-commit did not error out on empty commits by default, accidental
creation of commits with empty messages would be a very common occurrence
(this check has caught me many times). Further, nearly all such empty
commit messages would be considered an accidental error (as evidenced by a
huge amount of documentation across version control systems and in various
blog posts explaining how important commit messages are). A simple check
for what would otherwise be a common error thus made a lot of sense, and
git-commit gained an --allow-empty-message flag for special case
overrides. This has made commits with empty messages very rare.

There are two sources for commits with empty messages for rebase (and
cherry-pick): (a) commits created in git where the user previously
specified --allow-empty-message to git-commit, and (b) commits imported
into git from other version control systems. In case (a), the user has
already explicitly specified that there is something special about this
commit that makes them not want to specify a commit message; forcing them
to re-specify with every cherry-pick or rebase seems more likely to be
infuriating than helpful. In case (b), the commit is highly unlikely to
have been authored by the person who has imported the history and is doing
the rebase or cherry-pick, and thus the user is unlikely to be the
appropriate person to write a commit message for it. Stopping and
expecting the user to modify the commit before proceeding thus seems
counter-productive.

Further, note that while empty commit messages was a common error case for
git-commit to deal with, it is a rare case for rebase (or cherry-pick).
The fact that it is rare raises the question of why it would be worth
checking and stopping on this particular condition and not others. For
example, why doesn't an interactive rebase automatically stop if the
commit message's first line is 2000 columns long, or is missing a blank
line after the first line, or has every line indented with five spaces, or
any number of other myriad problems?

Finally, note that if a user doing an interactive rebase does have the
necessary knowledge to add a message for any such commit and wants to do
so, it is rather simple for them to change the appropriate line from
'pick' to 'reword'. The fact that the subject is empty in the todo list
that the user edits should even serve as a way to notify them.

As far as I can tell, the fact that merge-based and interactive-based
rebases stop on commits with empty commit messages is solely a by-product
of having been based on git-commit. It went without notice for a long
time precisely because such cases are rare. The rareness of this
situation made it difficult to reason about, so when folks did eventually
notice this behavior, they assumed it was there for a good reason and just
added an --allow-empty-message flag. In my opinion, stopping on such
messages not desirable in any of these cases, even the (explicitly)
interactive case.

Add a simple directory rename testcase, in conjunction with each of the
types of rebases:
git-rebase--interactive
git-rebase--am
git-rebase--merge
and also use the same testcase for
