git-tag.txt: <commit> for --contains is optional

This goes far back to e84fb2f (branch --contains: default to HEAD -
2008-07-08) where the same parsing code is shared with
builtin/tag.c. git-branch.txt correctly states that <commit> for
--contains is optional while git-tag.txt does not. Correct it.

rebase: remove useless arguments checkNicolas Vigier Sat, 1 Feb 2014 02:18:02 +0000 (02:18 +0000)

rebase: remove useless arguments check

Remove a check on the number of arguments for --onto and -x options.
It is not possible for $# to be <= 2 at this point :

- if --onto or -x has an argument, git rev-parse --parseopt will
provide something like this :
set -- --onto 'x' --
when parsing the "--onto" option, $# will be 3 or more if there are
other options.

- if --onto or -x doesn't have an argument, git rev-parse --parseopt
will exit with an error and display usage information.

Otherwise there is a race: if 'git log' finishes writing before the
pager terminates and closes the pipe, all is well, and if the pager
finishes quickly enough then 'git log' terminates with SIGPIPE.

died of signal 13 at /build/buildd/git-1.9~rc1/t/test-terminal.perl line 33.

Noticed on Ubuntu PPA builders, where the race was lost about half the

rev-parse: check i before using argv[i] against argc

The --prefix, --default, and --resolve-git-dir options to
git-rev-parse require an argument, but when given no argument,
the code uses the NULL read from argv[argc] without checking,
leading to a segfault.

Instead, check first and die() with an error message.

handle_path_include: don't look at NULL valueJeff King Tue, 28 Jan 2014 01:37:30 +0000 (20:37 -0500)

handle_path_include: don't look at NULL value

When we see config like:

[include]
path

the expand_user_path helper notices that the config value is
empty, but we then dereference NULL while printing the error
message (glibc will helpfully print "(null)" for us here,
but we cannot rely on that).

$ git -c include.path rev-parse
error: Could not expand include path '(null)'
fatal: unable to parse command-line config

Instead of tweaking our message, let's actually use
config_error_nonbool to match other config variables that
expect a value:

$ git -c include.path rev-parse
error: Missing value for 'include.path'
fatal: unable to parse command-line config

expand_user_path: do not look at NULL path

We explicitly check for and handle the case that the
incoming "path" variable is NULL, but before doing so we
call strchrnul on it, leading to a potential segfault.

We can fix this simply by moving the strchrnul call down; as
a bonus, we can tighten the scope on the associated
variable.

ewah: support platforms that require aligned reads

The caller may hand us an unaligned buffer (e.g., because it
is an mmap of a file with many ewah bitmaps). On some
platforms (like SPARC) this can cause a bus error. We can
fix it with a combination of get_be32 and moving the data
into an aligned buffer (which we would do anyway, but we can
move it before fixing the endianness).

read-cache: use get_be32 instead of hand-rolled ntoh_l

Commit d60c49c (read-cache.c: allow unaligned mapping of the
index file, 2012-04-03) introduced helpers to access
unaligned data. However, we already have get_be32, which has
a few advantages:

1. It's already written, so we avoid duplication.

2. It's probably faster, since it does the endian
conversion and the alignment fix at the same time.

3. The get_be32 code is well-tested, having been in
block-sha1 for a long time. By contrast, our custom
helpers were probably almost never used, since the user
needed to manually define a macro to enable them.

We have to add a get_be16 implementation to the existing
get_be32, but that is very simple to do.

easier.

The test does not care about the timestamp of the .keep file it

t7501: fix "empty commit" test with NO_PERL

t7501.9 tries to check that "git commit" will fail when the
index is unchanged. It relies on previous tests not to have
modified the index. When it was originally written, this was
always the case. However, commit c65dc35 (t7501: test the
right kind of breakage, 2012-03-30) changed earlier tests (4
and 5) to leave a modification in the index.

We never noticed, however, because t7501.7, between the two,
clears the index state as a side effect. However, that test
depends on the PERL prerequisite, and so it does not always
run. Therefore if NO_PERL is set, we do not run the
intervening test, the index is left unclean, and t7501.9
fails.

We could fix this by moving t7501.9 up in the script.
However, this patch instead leaves it in place and adds a
"git reset" before the commit. This makes the test more
explicit about its preconditions, and will future-proof it
against any other changes in the test state.

repack: propagate pack-objects options as stringsJeff King Thu, 23 Jan 2014 01:30:13 +0000 (20:30 -0500)

repack: propagate pack-objects options as strings

In the original shell version of git-repack, any options
destined for pack-objects were left as strings, and passed
as a whole. Since the C rewrite in commit a1bbc6c (repack:
rewrite the shell script in C, 2013-09-15), we now parse
these values to integers internally, then reformat the
integers when passing the option to pack-objects.

This has the advantage that we catch format errors earlier
(i.e., when repack is invoked, rather than when pack-objects
is invoked).

It has three disadvantages, though:

1. Our internal data types may not be the right size. In
the case of "--window-memory" and "--max-pack-size",
these are "unsigned long" in pack-objects, but we can
only represent a regular "int".

2. Our parsing routines might not be the same as those of
pack-objects. For the two options above, pack-objects
understands "100m" to mean "100 megabytes", but repack
does not.

3. We have to keep a sentinel value to know whether it is
worth passing the option along. In the case of
"--window-memory", we currently do not pass it if the
value is "0". But that is a meaningful value to
pack-objects, where it overrides any configured value.

We can fix all of these by simply passing the strings from
the user along to pack-objects verbatim. This does not
actually fix anything for "--depth" or "--window", but these
are converted, too, for consistency.

Makefile: Fix compilation of Windows resource file

If the git version number consists of less than three period
separated numbers, then the Windows resource file compilation
issues a syntax error:

$ touch git.rc

GIT_VERSION = 1.9.rc0
windres -O coff \
-DMAJOR=1 -DMINOR=9 -DPATCH=rc0 \

C:\msysgit\msysgit\mingw\bin\windres.exe: git.rc:2: syntax error
make: *** [git.res] Error 1
$

Note that -DPATCH=rc0.

The values passed via -DMAJOR=, -DMINOR=, and -DPATCH= are used in
FILEVERSION and PRODUCTVERSION statements, which expect up to four numeric
values. These version numbers are intended for machine consumption. They
are typically inspected by installers to decide whether a file to be
installed is newer than one that exists on the system, but are not used
for much else.

We can be pretty certain that there are no tools that look at these
version numbers, not even the installer of Git for Windows does.
Therefore, to fix the syntax error, fill in only the first two numbers,
which we are guaranteed to find in Git version numbers.

git p4 test: do not pollute /tmp

Generating the submit template for p4 uses tempfile.mkstemp(),
which by default puts files in /tmp. For a test that fails,
possibly on purpose, this is not cleaned up. Run with TMPDIR
pointing into the trash directory so the temp files go away
with the test results.

To do this required some other minor changes. First, the editor
is launched using system(editor + " " + template_file), using
shell expansion to build the command string. This doesn't work
if editor has a space in it. And is generally unwise as it's
easy to fool the shell into doing extra work. Exec the args
directly, without shell expansion.

Second, without shell expansion, the trick of "P4EDITOR=:" used
in the tests doesn't work. Use a real command, true, as the
non-interactive editor for testing.

git p4: work around p4 bug that causes empty symlinks

Damien Gérard highlights an interesting problem. Some p4
repositories end up with symlinks that have an empty target. It
is not possible to create this with current p4, but they do
indeed exist.

The effect in git p4 is that "p4 print" on the symlink returns an
empty string, confusing the curret symlink-handling code.

Such broken repositories cause problems in p4 as well, even with
no git involved. In p4, syncing to a change that includes a
bogus symlink causes errors:

//depot/empty-symlink - updating /home/me/p4/empty-symlink
rename: /home/me/p4/empty-symlink: No such file or directory

and leaves no symlink.

In git, replicate the p4 behavior by ignoring these bad symlinks.
If, in a later p4 revision, the symlink happens to point to
something non-null, the symlink will be replaced properly.

Add a big test for all this too.

This happens to be a regression introduced by 1292df1 (git-p4:
Fix occasional truncation of symlink contents., 2013-08-08) and
appeared first in 1.8.5. But it shows up only in p4 repositories
of dubious character, so can wait for a proper release.

where", 2013-08-30), all the wildcard types should be supported.
Change must-fail tests to mark that they now pass.

list-objects: only look at cmdline trees with edge_hint

When rev-list is given a command-line like:

git rev-list --objects $commit --not --all

the most accurate answer is the difference between the set
of objects reachable from $commit and the set reachable from
all of the existing refs. However, we have not historically
provided that answer, because it is very expensive to
calculate. We would have to open every tree of every commit
in the entire history.

Instead, we find the accurate set difference of the
reachable commits, and then mark the trees at the boundaries
as uninteresting. This misses objects which appear in the
trees of both the interesting commits and deep within the
uninteresting history.

Commit fbd4a70 (list-objects: mark more commits as edges in
mark_edges_uninteresting, 2013-08-16) noticed that we miss
those objects during pack-objects, and added code to examine
the trees of all of the "--not" refs given on the
command-line. Note that this is still not the complete set
difference, because we look only at the tips of the
command-line arguments, not all of their reachable commits.
But it increases the set of boundary objects we consider,
which is especially important for shallow fetches. So we
are trading extra CPU time for a larger set of boundary
objects, which can improve the resulting pack size for a
--thin pack.

This tradeoff probably makes sense in the context of
pack-objects, where we have set revs->edge_hint to have the
traversal feed us the set of boundary objects. For a
regular rev-list, though, it is probably not a good
tradeoff. It is true that it makes our list slightly closer
to a true set difference, but it is a rare case where this
is important. And because we do not have revs->edge_hint
set, we do nothing useful with the larger set of boundary
objects.

This patch therefore ties the extra tree examination to the
revs->edge_hint flag; it is the presence of that flag that
makes the tradeoff worthwhile.

Here is output from the p0001-rev-list showing the
improvement in performance:

t/perf: time rev-list with UNINTERESTING commits

We time a straight "rev-list --all" and its "--object"
counterpart, both going all the way to the root. However, we
do not time a partial history walk. This patch adds an
extreme case: a walk over a very small slice of history, but
with a very large set of UNINTERESTING tips. This is similar
to the connectivity check run by git on a small fetch, or
the walk done by any pre-receive hooks that want to check
incoming commits.

This test reveals a performance regression in git v1.8.4.2,
caused by fbd4a70 (list-objects: mark more commits as edges
in mark_edges_uninteresting, 2013-08-16):

Documentation: @{-N} can refer to a commit

The @{-N} syntax always referred to the N-th last thing checked out,
which can be either a branch or a commit (for detached HEAD cases).
However, the documentation only mentioned branches.

Edit in a "/commit" in the appropriate places.

rename_tmp_log(): limit the number of remote_empty_directories() attempts

This doesn't seem to be a likely error, but we've got the counter
anyway, so we might as well use it for an added bit of safety.

Please note that the first call to rename() is optimistic, and it is
normal for it to fail if there is a directory in the way. So bump the
total number of allowed attempts to 4, to be sure that we can still
have at least 3 retries in the case of a race.
