merge-one-file: force content conflict for "both sides... Junio C Hamano Mon, 25 Mar 2013 17:05:13 +0000 (10:05 -0700)

merge-one-file: force content conflict for "both sides added" case

Historically, we tried to be lenient to "both sides added, slightly
differently" case and as long as the files can be merged using a
made-up common ancestor cleanly, since f7d24bbefb06 (merge with
/dev/null as base, instead of punting O==empty case, 2005-11-07).

This was later further refined to use a better made-up common file
with fd66dbf5297a (merge-one-file: use empty- or common-base
condintionally in two-stage merge., 2005-11-10), but the spirit has
been the same.

But the original fix in f7d24bbefb06 to avoid punting on "both sides
added" case had a code to unconditionally error out the merge. When
this triggers, even though the content-level merge can be done
cleanly, we end up not saying "content conflict" in the message, but
still issue the error message, showing "ERROR: in <pathname>".

Move that "always fail for add/add conflict" logic a bit higher to
fix this.

match-trees: simplify score_trees() using tree_entry()René Scharfe Sun, 24 Mar 2013 22:46:28 +0000 (23:46 +0100)

match-trees: simplify score_trees() using tree_entry()

Convert the loop in score_trees() to tree_entry(). The code becomes
shorter and simpler because the calls to update_tree_entry() are not
needed any more.

Another benefit is that we need less variables to track the current
tree entries; as a side-effect of that the compiler has an easier
job figuring out the control flow and thus can avoid false warnings
about uninitialized variables.

Using struct name_entry also allows the use of tree_entry_len() for
finding the path length instead of strlen(), which may be slightly
more efficient.

Also unify the handling of missing entries in one of the two trees
(i.e. added or removed files): Just set cmp appropriately first, no
matter if we ran off the end of a tree or if we actually have two
entries to compare, and check its value a bit later without
duplicating the handler code.

Test 'merge log message' was relying on the presence of option `--no-ff`
in the configuration. With the option, git show -s --pretty=format:%b HEAD
produces an empty line and without the option, it produces an empty file.
The test is modified to check with and without `--no-ff` option.

Fix revision walk for commits with the same datesKacper Kornet Fri, 22 Mar 2013 18:38:19 +0000 (19:38 +0100)

Fix revision walk for commits with the same dates

Logic in still_interesting function allows to stop the commits
traversing if the oldest processed commit is not older then the
youngest commit on the list to process and the list contains only
commits marked as not interesting ones. It can be premature when dealing
with a set of coequal commits. For example git rev-list A^! --not B
provides wrong answer if all commits in the range A..B had the same
commit time and there are more then 7 of them.

To fix this problem the relevant part of the logic in still_interesting
is changed to: the walk can be stopped if the oldest processed commit is
younger then the youngest commit on the list to processed.

submodule: clarify logic in show_submodule_summary

There are two uses of the "left" and "right" commit variables that
make it hard to be sure what values they have (both for the reader,
and for gcc, which wrongly complains that they might be used
uninitialized).

The function starts with a cascading if statement, checking that the
input sha1s exist, and finally working up to preparing a revision
walk. We only prepare the walk if the cascading conditional did not
find any problems, which we check by seeing whether it set the
"message" variable or not. It's simpler and more obvious to just add
a condition to the end of the cascade.

Later, we check the same "message" variable when deciding whether to
clear commit marks on the left/right commits; if it is set, we
presumably never started the walk. This is wrong, though; we might
have started the walk and munged commit flags, only to encounter an
error afterwards. We should always clear the flags on left/right if
they exist, whether the walk was successful or not.

It's like having --no-ff present on the command line.

wt-status: fix possible use of uninitialized variableJeff King Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:05:28 +0000 (07:05 -0400)

wt-status: fix possible use of uninitialized variable

In wt_status_print_change_data, we accept a change_type flag
that is meant to be either WT_STATUS_UPDATED or
WT_STATUS_CHANGED. We then switch() on this value to set
the local variable "status" for each case, but do not
provide a fallback "default" label to the switch statement.

As a result, the compiler realizes that "status" might be
unset, and complains with a warning. To silence this
warning, we use the "int status = status" trick. This is
correct with the current code, as all callers provide one of
the two expected change_type flags. However, it's also a
maintenance trap, as there is nothing to prevent future
callers from passing another flag, nor to document this
assumption.

Instead of using the "x = x" hack, let's handle the default
case in the switch() statement with a die("BUG"). That tells
the compiler and any readers of the code exactly what the
function's input assumptions are.

We could also convert the flag to an enum, which would
provide a compile-time check on the function input. However,
since these flags are part of a larger enum, that would make
the code unnecessarily complex (we would have to make a new
enum with just the two flags, and then convert it to the old
enum for passing to sub-functions).

fast-import: clarify "inline" logic in file_change_m

When we read a fast-import line like:

M 100644 :1 foo.c

we point the local object_entry variable "oe" to the object
named by the mark ":1". When the input uses the "inline"
construct, however, we do not have such an object_entry.

The current code is careful not to access "oe" in the inline
case, but we can make the assumption even more obvious (and
catch violations of it) by setting oe to NULL and adding a
comment. As a bonus, this also squelches an over-zealous gcc
-Wuninitialized warning, which means we can drop the "oe =
oe" initialization hack.

run-command: always set failed_errno in start_command

When we fail to fork, we set the failed_errno variable to
the value of errno so it is not clobbered by later syscalls.
However, we do so in a conditional, and it is hard to see
later under what conditions the variable has a valid value.

Instead of setting it only when fork fails, let's just
always set it after forking. This is more obvious for human
readers (as we are no longer setting it as a side effect of
a strerror call), and it is more obvious to gcc, which no
longer generates a spurious -Wuninitialized warning. It also
happens to match what the WIN32 half of the #ifdef does.

According to 47ec794, this initialization is meant to
squelch an erroneous uninitialized variable warning from gcc
4.0.1. That version is quite old at this point, and gcc 4.1
and up handle it fine, with one exception. There seems to be
a regression in gcc 4.6.3, which produces the warning;
however, gcc versions 4.4.7 and 4.7.2 do not.

drop some obsolete "x = x" compiler warning hacksJeff King Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:10:28 +0000 (07:10 -0400)

drop some obsolete "x = x" compiler warning hacks

In cases where the setting and access of a variable are
protected by the same conditional flag, older versions of
gcc would generate a "might be used unitialized" warning. We
silence the warning by initializing the variable to itself,
a hack that gcc recognizes.

Modern versions of gcc are smart enough to get this right,
going back to at least version 4.3.5. gcc 4.1 does get it
wrong in both cases, but is sufficiently old that we
probably don't need to care about it anymore.

do not use GIT_TRACE_PACKET=3 in testsJeff King Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:43:47 +0000 (13:43 -0400)

do not use GIT_TRACE_PACKET=3 in tests

Some test scripts use the GIT_TRACE mechanism to dump
debugging information to descriptor 3 (and point it to a
file using the shell). On Windows, however, bash is unable
to set up descriptor 3. We do not write our trace to the
file, and worse, we may interfere with other operations
happening on descriptor 3, causing tests to fail or even
behave inconsistently.

Prior to commit 97a83fa (upload-pack: remove packet debugging
harness), these tests used GIT_DEBUG_SEND_PACK, which only
supported output to a descriptor. The tests in t5503 were
always broken on Windows, and were marked to be skipped via
the NOT_MINGW prerequisite. In t5700, the tests used to pass
prior to 97a83fa, but only because they were not careful
enough; because we only grepped the trace file, an empty
file looked successful to us. But post-97a83fa, the writing
to descriptor 3 causes "git fetch" to hang (presumably
because we are throwing random bytes into the middle of the
protocol).

Now that we are using the GIT_TRACE mechanism, we can
improve both scripts by asking git to write directly to a
file rather than a descriptor. That fixes the hang in t5700,
and should allow t5503 to successfully run on Windows.

In both cases we now also use "test -s" to double-check that
our trace file actually contains output, which should reduce
the possibility of an erroneously passing test.

index-pack: always zero-initialize object_entry listJeff King Tue, 19 Mar 2013 16:17:22 +0000 (12:17 -0400)

index-pack: always zero-initialize object_entry list

Commit 38a4556 (index-pack: start learning to emulate
"verify-pack -v", 2011-06-03) added a "delta_depth" counter
to each "struct object_entry". Initially, all object entries
have their depth set to 0; in resolve_delta, we then set the
depth of each delta to "base + 1". Base entries never have
their depth touched, and remain at 0.

To ensure that all depths start at 0, that commit changed
calls to xmalloc the object_entry list into calls to
xcalloc. However, it forgot that we grow the list with
xrealloc later. These extra entries are used when we add an
object from elsewhere to complete a thin pack. If we add a
non-delta object, its depth value will just be uninitialized
heap data.

This patch fixes it by zero-initializing entries we add to
the objects list via the xrealloc.

This test checks each ref with code like the following:

test "z$r" = "z$the_first_commit"

Afterward it counts refs:

test 1 = $(git for-each-ref refs/remotes/origin | wc -l)

Simpler to test the number and values of relevant refs in for-each-ref
output at the same time using test_cmp. This makes the test more

This is not wrong as such, since it doesn't matter all that much
whether we get an outdated value. However, unless someone proves that
this one lock makes all the performance difference, it would be much
cleaner to guard _all_ accesses to the variable with the lock.

The only such use is display_progress() in the threaded section (all
others are in the conclude_pack() callchain outside the threaded
part). To make it obvious that it cannot deadlock, move it out of
work_mutex.

index-pack: protect deepest_delta in multithread code

deepest_delta is a global variable but is updated without protection
in resolve_delta(), a multithreaded function. Add a new mutex for it,
but only protect and update when it's actually used (i.e. show_stat is
non-zero).

Another variable that will not be updated is delta_depth in "struct
object_entry" as it's only useful when show_stat is 1. Putting it in
"if (show_stat)" makes it clearer.

The local variable "stat" is renamed to "show_stat" after moving to
global scope because the name "stat" conflicts with stat(2) syscall.

pack-refs: add fully-peeled traitMichael Haggerty Mon, 18 Mar 2013 11:37:32 +0000 (07:37 -0400)

pack-refs: add fully-peeled trait

Older versions of pack-refs did not write peel lines for
refs outside of refs/tags. This meant that on reading the
pack-refs file, we might set the REF_KNOWS_PEELED flag for
such a ref, even though we do not know anything about its
peeled value.

The previous commit updated the writer to always peel, no
matter what the ref is. That means that packed-refs files
written by newer versions of git are fine to be read by both
old and new versions of git. However, we still have the
problem of reading packed-refs files written by older
versions of git, or by other implementations which have not
yet learned the same trick.

The simplest fix would be to always unset the
REF_KNOWS_PEELED flag for refs outside of refs/tags that do
not have a peel line (if it has a peel line, we know it is
valid, but we cannot assume a missing peel line means
anything). But that loses an important optimization, as
upload-pack should not need to load the object pointed to by
refs/heads/foo to determine that it is not a tag.

Instead, we add a "fully-peeled" trait to the packed-refs
file. If it is set, we know that we can trust a missing peel
line to mean that a ref cannot be peeled. Otherwise, we fall
back to assuming nothing.

fast-export: do not load blob objects twiceJeff King Sun, 17 Mar 2013 08:38:57 +0000 (04:38 -0400)

fast-export: do not load blob objects twice

When fast-export wants to export a blob object, it first
calls parse_object to get a "struct object" and check
whether we have already shown the object. If we haven't
shown it, we then use read_sha1_file to pull it from disk
and write it out.

That means we load each blob from disk twice: once for
parse_object to find its type and check its sha1, and a
second time when we actually output it. We can drop this to
a single load by using lookup_object to check the SHOWN
flag, and then checking the signature on and outputting a
single buffer.

This provides modest speedups on git.git (best-of-five, "git
fast-export HEAD >/dev/null"):

and somewhat more on more blob-heavy repos (this is a
repository full of media files):

fast-export: rename handle_object function

The handle_object function is rather vaguely named; it only
operates on blobs, and its purpose is to export the blob to
the output stream. Let's call it "export_blob" to make it
more clear what it does.

pack-refs: write peeled entry for non-tagsJeff King Sun, 17 Mar 2013 08:23:46 +0000 (04:23 -0400)

pack-refs: write peeled entry for non-tags

When we pack an annotated tag ref, we write not only the
sha1 of the tag object along with the ref, but also the sha1
obtained by peeling the tag. This lets readers of the
pack-refs file know the peeled value without having to
actually load the object, speeding up upload-pack's ref
advertisement.

The writer marks a packed-refs file with peeled refs using
the "peeled" trait at the top of the file. When the reader
sees this trait, it knows that each ref is either followed
by its peeled value, or it is not an annotated tag.

However, there is a mismatch between the assumptions of the
reader and writer. The writer will only peel refs under
refs/tags, but the reader does not know this; it will assume
a ref without a peeled value must not be a tag object. Thus
an annotated tag object placed outside of the refs/tags
hierarchy will not have its peeled value printed by
upload-pack.

The simplest way to fix this is to start writing peel values
for all refs. This matches what the reader expects for both
new and old versions of git.

use parse_object_or_die instead of die("bad object")Jeff King Sun, 17 Mar 2013 08:23:31 +0000 (04:23 -0400)

use parse_object_or_die instead of die("bad object")

Some call-sites do:

o = parse_object(sha1);
if (!o)
die("bad object %s", some_name);

We can now handle that as a one-liner, and get more
consistent output.

In the third case of this patch, it looks like we are losing
information, as the existing message also outputs the sha1
hex; however, parse_object will already have written a more
specific complaint about the sha1, so there is no point in
repeating it here.

avoid segfaults on parse_object failureJeff King Sun, 17 Mar 2013 08:22:36 +0000 (04:22 -0400)

avoid segfaults on parse_object failure

Many call-sites of parse_object assume that they will get a
non-NULL return value; this is not the case if we encounter
an error while parsing the object.

This patch adds a wrapper function around parse_object that
handles dying automatically, and uses it anywhere we
immediately try to access the return value as a non-NULL
pointer (i.e., anywhere that we would currently segfault).

This wrapper may also be useful in other places. The most
obvious one is code like:

o = parse_object(sha1);
if (!o)
die(...);

However, these should not be mechanically converted to
parse_object_or_die, as the die message is sometimes
customized. Later patches can address these sites on a
case-by-case basis.

rev-parse: clarify documentation of $name@{upstream} syntax

"git rev-parse" interprets string in string@{upstream} as a name of
a branch not a ref. For example, refs/heads/master@{upstream} looks
for an upstream branch that is merged by git-pull to ref
refs/heads/refs/heads/master not to refs/heads/master.

However the documentation could mislead a user to believe that the
string is interpreted as ref.
