git-svn: give show-ignore HEAD smarts, like dcommit and log
This allows the user to run git-svn show-ignore on there
current HEAD without needing to remember which branch/ref they
branched from with -i. Also, find_by_url should correctly
handle cases where the URL passed to it is not valid.
git-svn: allow metadata options to be specified with 'init' and 'clone'
Since the options that affect the way metadata is handled in
git-svn, should be consistently set/unset throughout history
imported by git-svn; it makes sense to allow the user to set
certain options from the command-line that will write to the
config file when initially creating the repository.
Also, fix some formatting issues while we're updating
documentation.
This documents the 'clone' and 'rebase' commands
of git-svn. Additionaly, examples are updated
to use them instead of the lower-level 'init' and
'fetch' commands.
These tests are very similar as the ones I used for useSvmProps
and expect the same results because both dumps were generated
from the same original repo.
git-svn: fix useSvmProps, hopefully for the last time
svm:mirror is not useful at all for us. Parts of the old unit
test were broken and based on my misunderstanding of the
svm:mirror property.
When we read svm:source; make sure we correctly handle the '!'
in it: it is used to separate the path of the repository root
from the virtual path within the repository. We don't need
to make that distinction, honestly!
We also ensure that subdirectories are also mirrored with the
correct URL if we're using useSvmProps.
We have a new test that uses dumped repo that was really
created using SVN::Mirror to avoid ambiguities and
mis-understandings about the svm: properties.
Note: trailing whitespace in the svm.dump file is unfortunately
a reality and required by SVN; so please ignore it when applying
this patch.
Also, ensure that the -R/--remote/--svn-remote flag is always
in effect if explicitly passed via the command-line. This
allows us to track logically different mirrors sharing the
same URL (probably common with SVN::Mirror/SVK users).
This is similar to useSvmProps, but far simpler in
implementation because svnsync retains a 1:1
between revision numbers and relative paths within
the repository
git-svn: allow overriding of the SVN repo root in metadata
This feature allows users to create repositories from alternate
URLs. For example, an administrator could run git-svn on the
server locally (accessing via file://) but wish to distribute
the repository with a public http:// or svn:// URL in the
metadata so users of it will see the public URL.
This works similarly to 'svn update' or 'git pull' except that
it preserves linear history with 'git rebase' instead of 'git
merge' for ease of dcommit-ing with git-svn.
While we're at it, put the working_head_info() logic
into its own function and allow --fetch-all/--all for
dcommit and rebase (which will fetch all refs in the
current [svn-remote] instead of just the working one).
Note that the '-a' switch (short for --fetch-all/--all) has been
removed as it conflicts with the non-svn 'git fetch'
On newly-created repositories, 'refs/heads/master' does not
point to anything. This can be confusing to new users; so we
update 'master' to point to the last imported ref after fetching
is done.
Once 'master' is valid; we assume HEAD points to it; and if
the repository is not bare, then checkout the files if the
working tree is clean and unused.
git-svn: allow dcommit for those who only fetch from SVM with useSvmProps
This allows users to use SVM (SVN::Mirror) to mirror a remote
repository to use dcommit to commit to the repository that SVM
was mirroring. When dcommit is used in this manner, the automatic
fetch + rebase/reset does not happen; in which case the user will
have to manually invoke svm/svk, run 'git svn fetch', and finally
'git rebase'.
git-svn: allow --log-window-size to be specified, default to 100
The newer default value should should lower memory usage for
large fetches and also help with fetching from less reliable
servers. Previously the value was 1000 and memory usage
got a bit high on some repositories and fetching became
less reliable in some cases.
git-svn: hopefully make 'fetch' more user-friendly
multi-fetch is deprecated, "fetch -a" is easier to type
By default, fetch will fetch everything from its default
[svn-remote]; if fetch [--all|-a] is specified, then it will
fetch from all svn remotes. Refspecs on the command-line
(like git-fetch) are not supported.
Also, enable -r/--revision arguments for fetch so
users can shoot themselves in the foot^W^W^W^W^W
skip some history and do the equivalent of a shallow
clone/fetch they're not interested in.
t910*: s/repo-config/config/g; poke around possible race conditions
Some of the repo-config => config renaming missed the git-svn
tests; so I'm just renaming them to be consisten with the
rest of the modern git.
Also, some of the newer tests didn't have 'poke' in them
to workaround race conditions on fast machines. This adds
places where they can _possibly_ occur; but I don't have
fast enough hardware to trigger them.
git-svn: usability fixes for the 'git svn log' command
Similar in spirit to the recent dcommit change, we now
look at 'HEAD' by default to look for a GIT_SVN_ID
so the user won't have to pass -i <GIT_SVN_ID> argument.
We are also more tolerant of of people passing bare remote names
as a result (just $GIT_SVN_ID without the -i)
* dcommit no longer requires the correct -i/GIT_SVN_ID option
passed to it. Since you're committing from HEAD (or another
commit that is a parent of HEAD), you'll be able to find
a commit with metadata information containing the SVN URL
that your HEAD was descended from anyways.
* I don't think dcommit ever worked for people using the
noMetadata option; so I don't think relying on metadata
is an issue.
* useSvmProps users shouldn't commit to SVN::Mirror created
repositories anyways, right?
* Users of globbing should automatically be able to commit
to paths that are not explicitly set in .git/config
A manual test that sets up a repository that looks like an SVK depot,
and then imports it to check that it looks like we mirrored the
'original' source.
There is also a minor modification to the git-svn test library shell
file which sets a variable for the subversion repository's filesystem
path.
[ew: made some of the tests stricter and more thorough]
git-svn: handle multi-init without --trunk, UseSvmProps fixes
multi-init did not write a svn-remote.<remote>.url config
entry without a --trunk argument.
Also, The svm:mirror property is used by SVN::Mirror to track
the path of the repository that we are mirroring. We need to
append that to the source (which is (presumably) just the URL of
the repository root).
Lastly, we now look harder for svm:(source|mirror|uuid) properties
in sub and parent directories. Since our relative path could
be tweaked.
git-svn: write the highest maxRex out for branches and tags
Even if nothing touched paths we care about in a fetch;
increment the maxRev like we do with rev_db since
we don't like having to run get_log on revisions we've
seen before.
git-svn: use separate, per-repository .rev_db files
We need a separate .rev_db file for each repository we're
tracking. This allows us to track the same logical path off
multiple mirrors. We preserve a symlink to the old .rev_db
(no-UUID) if we're (auto-)migrating from an old version to
preserve backwards compatibility.
Also, get rid of the uuid() wrapper since we cache UUID in our
private config, and the SVN::Ra::get_uuid() function memoizes
the return value per-connection.
git-svn: extra safety for noMetadata and useSvmProps users
Make sure we flush our userspace buffers and and fsync(2)
.rev_db information to disk if we use these options because
we really don't want to lose this information.
Also, disallow --use-svm-props and --no-metadata from the
command-line because history will be inconsistent if they're
only used occasionally. If a user wants to use these options,
they must be set in the config so they're always on.
These boolean switches will override options set globally in
[svn], and even override options set on the command-line (this
should probably change in the future, however).
Note that the noMetadata and useSvmProps options conflict. It's
both technically and logically impossible to use them together.
git-svn: add support for SVN::Mirror/svk using revprops for metadata
Pass --use-svm-props or set the svn.usesvmprops key with git-config
to enable using properties set by SVN::Mirror when it mirrored the
upstream URL.
This is heavily based on work from Sam Vilain:

git-svn: remove optimized commit stuff for set-tree
I may resurrect it for dcommit at some point, but nobody really
uses set-tree anymore and I don't feel like introducing more
complexity into the code at this point.
git-svn: correctly handle globs with a right-hand-side path component
Several bugs were found and fixed while getting this to work:
* Remember the 'R'(eplace) case of actions and treat it like we
would an 'A'(dd) case.
* Fix a small case of follow-parent missing a parent if a
subdirectory was modified in the revision where the parent was
copied.
* dirents returned by get_dir sometimes expire if the data
structure is too big and the pool is destroyed, so we
cache get_dir (along with check_path and get_revprops)
temporarily along with its pool.
git-svn: fix buggy regular expression usage in several places
I incorrectly used $path/? and $path/* to strip off leading
directories, but places where $path = 'branches/0.17' would
incorrectly strip changes to 'branches/0.17.1' as well.
For globs, we require that our '*' is its own path component
(surrounded by '/' or nothing). Enforce this when --prefix= is
passed to us, too.
We don't need them anymore, all the rough points of
the --follow-parent implementation have been worked out.
The only improvement in the future will probably be
--follow-parent-harder, which will track subdirectories and
follow individual file history (so annotate/blame can be
complete); but that is still a ways off.
git-svn: remove check_path calls before calling do_update
These checks were needed before git-svn got smarter about
match_paths() and using path information returned by get_log().
We also have extra checking against fetching revisions
out-of-order these days; so we don't have to worry about that as
much. We also check for tree deletions in match_paths() and
skip those as well.
We can have a branch that was deleted, then re-added under the
same name but copied from another path, in which case we'll have
multiple parents (we don't want to break the original ref, nor
lose copypath info).
git-svn: implement auto-discovery of branches/tags
This is similar to the way git proper handles refs, except we
use the keys 'branches' and 'tags' to distinguish when we want
to use wildcards.
The left-hand side of the ':' contains the remote path, and must
have one asterisk ('*') in it for the branch name. The asterisk
may be in any component of the path as long as is it on its own
directory level.
The right-hand side contains the refname and must have the
asterisk as the last path component.
git-svn: avoid extra get_log calls when refspecs are added for fetching
Since fetch_loop_common starts from the lowest revision number
in a group of Git::SVN objects; we want to avoid refetching
get_log for current users for things we've already cut it.
git-svn: don't write to the config file from --follow-parent
Having 'fetch' entries in the config file created from
--follow-parent is wasteful because it can cause *future* of
invocations to follow revisions we were never interested in
in the first place.
Using buffered IO for reading 40-41 bytes at a time isn't very
efficient. Buffering writes for a short duration is alright
since we close() right away and buffers will be flushed.
git-svn: avoid redundant get_log calls between invocations
Prefill .rev_db to the maximum revision we tried to fetch;
and take advantage of that so we can avoid using get_log()
on ranges we've already seen (and have deemed uninteresting).
git-svn: do our best to ensure that our ref and rev_db are consistent
Defer any signals that cause termination while they are
updating; and put the update-ref call as close to the rename()
as possible. Also, make things extra-safe (but slower) for
people using --no-metadata since they can't rely on .rev_db
being rebuilt if it's clobbered (well, I'm calling update-ref
with the -m flag for reflogs, we don't yet have a way to rebuild
.rev_db from reflogs.
git-svn: avoid a huge memory spike with high-numbered revisions
Passing very large strings as arguments is bad for memory usage
as it never seems to get freed in Perl. The .rev_db format is
already not optimized for projects with sparse history.
get_log with explicit paths is the safest way to get revisions
that change a particular path we're interested in.
Unfortunately that means we still have to run get_log multiple
times for each path we're interested in, and even more if
a path gets deleted.
The first argument of get_log() is an array reference, but we
shouldn't use more than one element in that array ref because
the non-existence of _one_ of those paths for a particular range
would cause an error for all paths in that range, so yes, we
need multiple get_log calls to be on the safe side...
git-svn: fix several fetch bugs related to repeated invocations
We no longer delete the top-level directory even if it got
deleted from the upstream repository. In gs_do_update; we
double-check that the path we're tracking exists at both
endpoints before proceeding. We have also added additional
protection against fetching revisions out-of-order.
To simplify our internal interfaces, I've disabled passing the
'recursive' flag to the gs_do_{switch,update} wrapper functions
since we always want it in git-svn. We also pass the
entire Git::SVN object rather than just the path because it
helped me debug.
When printing progress, the refname is printed out to make
it less confusing when multi-fetch is running.
git-svn: don't rely on do_switch + reparenting with svn(+ssh)://
I can't seem to figure out what I or the SVN libraries are doing
wrong, but it appears to be related to reparent and probably
some global structure that gets reset if multiple SVN
connections are being used.
So now, in order to use do_switch; we'll open a new connection
to the repository with the complete URL; but we can't seem to
ever use an existing Ra object after another one has been
created...
git-svn: reinstate the default SVN error handler after using get_log
We don't need our own error handler for other operations. Also
add a message about the successfully do_switch or do_update in
follow-parent for debugging do_switch failures with svn:// and
svn+ssh:// connections.
git-svn: just use Digest::MD5 instead of requiring it
Historically, git-svn did not always use Digest::MD5 because
it did not use the SVN::Delta::Editor interfaces. Nowadays
it does, and the requires make strace more noisy.
git-svn: stop using path names as refnames with --follow-parent
Using path names as refnames breaks horribly if a user is
tracking one large, toplevel directory, and a lower-level
directory is followed from another project is a parent
of another ref, as it will cause refnames such as:
'refs/remotes/trunk/path/to/stuff', which will conflict
with a refname of 'refs/remotes/trunk'.
Now we just append @$revno to the end of it the current
refname. And if we have followed back to a grandparent, then
we'll strip any existing '@$parent_revno' strings before
appending our own '@$revno' string to it.
git-svn: correctly handle do_{switch,update} in deep directories
The do_update or do_switch functions in SVN only allow for a
single path component; so 'path/to/deep/dir' would be
interpreted as 'path'.
SVN 1.4.x has a reparent function that can let us change the
session to use a higher-level root of the repository, so we can
use that for do_switch (which still doesn't seem to work in SVN
1.4.3 (a fix was attempted, but they missed the rest of the
typemap changes needed in trunk...)).
On the do_update side, we can use set_path on higher level
directories and set them to a newer revision so they don't get
updated. We can't do this with do_switch, either, because the
relative path we're tracking can change (directory moving into
a child of itself).
Because of these changes, we need to double check that our Fetch
editor is correctly performing stripping on any prefixed paths
from update, otherwise we'll just die() because that would be
a bug.
Added a test case which helped me notice and fix problems with
do_switch, too.
git-svn: allow multi-fetch to fetch things chronologically
Since single fetching is a special case of multi-fetch,
share code with it and the fetch loop into Git::SVN::Ra
since it uses a single Ra connection and multiple
Git::SVN objects.
git-svn: avoid an extra svn_ra connection during commits
Before, we needed a separate svn_ra instance to run
our check_path calls once the editor was active; but
we can avoid that by running all the check_path calls
before our editor is active.
git-svn: fix committing to subdirectories, add tests
I broke this part with the URL minimization; since
git-svn will now try to connect to the root of
the repository and will end up writing files
there if it can...
git-svn: fix segfaults from accessing svn_log_changed_path_t
svn_log_changed_path_t structs were being used out of scope
outside of svn_ra_get_log (because I wanted to eventually be
able to use git-svn with only a single connection to the
repository). So now we dup them into a hash.
This was fixed while making --follow-parent fetches more
efficient. I've moved parsing of the command-line --revision
argument outside of the Git::SVN module so Git::SVN::fetch() can
be used in more places (such as find_parent_branch).
git-svn: correctly track revisions made to deleted branches
git-svn has never been able to handle deleted branches very well
because svn_ra_get_log() is all-or-nothing, meaning that if the
max revision passed to it does not contain the path we're
tracking, we miss all the revisions in the repository.
Branches fetched using --follow-parent still do this
sub-optimally (will be fixed soon). --follow-parent will soon
become the default, so we will assume that when using get_log();
We will also avoid tracking revprops for revisions with no
path-related changes since otherwise we just end up pulling
logs to paths we don't care about.
Also added a test for this to t9104-git-svn-follow-parent.sh and
correctly commit the log message in the preceeding test (which
conflicted with a filename).
git-svn: track writes writes to the index in fetch
Introducing Git::IndexInfo. This module will probably be useful
outside of git-svn, so I'm not putting it in the Git::SVN
namespace.
This will allow me to more easily avoid the use of get_log() in
the future and simply run do_update in incrementing ranges.
get_log() should be avoided because there are cases where
moved/deleted directories do not track correctly (until
--follow-parent is run on a new branch).
git-svn: --follow-parent now works on sub-directories of larger branches
This means that tracking the path of:
/another-larger/trunk/thunk/bump/thud inside a repository
would follow:
/larger-parent/trunk/thunk/bump/thud
even if the svn log output looks like this:
--------------------------------------------
Changed paths:
A /another-larger (from /larger-parent:5)
--------------------------------------------
Note: the usage of get_log() in git-svn still makes a
an assumption that shouldn't be made with regard to
revisions existing for a particular path.
Tests always ran 'git init' before we ran so that repo-config
would always have something to read. However that does not work
in real-world situations where the user expects 'git svn init'
to work without running 'git init' first.
Having multiple fetch refspecs pointing to the same local ref
would be a very bad thing. Start avoiding the use of fatal() or
exit() inside the modules so we can libify more easily.
git-svn: --follow-parent works with svn-remotes multiple branches
Bugs fixed:
* We didn't allow manually (not using git-svn) init-ed
remotes/fetch refspecs to be used before. It works now
because that's what I did in this test. git-svn init should
offer more control in the future.
* correctly strip paths in the delta editor when using
do_switch().
* Make the -i / GIT_SVN_ID option work correctly when doing
fetch on a multi-ref svn-remote
git-svn: enable --minimize to simplify the config and connections
--minimize will update the git-svn configuration to attempt to
connect to the repository root (instead of directly to the
path(s) we are tracking) in order to allow more efficient reuse
of connections (for multi-fetch and follow-parent).
Note: this can cause problems with Perl's reference counting GC,
so I'm disabling Git::SVN::Ra::DESTROY. If we notice more
problems down the line, we can disable this enhancement.
Of course, we handle metadata migrations from previous versions
and we have added unit tests.
The new .git/config remotes resemble non-SVN remotes. Below
is an example with comments:
[svn-remote "git-svn"]
; like non-svn remotes, we have one URL per-remote
url = http://foo.bar.org/svn
; 'fetch' keys are done in the same way as non-svn
; remotes, too. With the left-hand-side of the ':'
; being the remote (SVN) repository path relative to the
; above 'url' key; and the right-hand-side being a
; remote ref in git (refs/remotes/*).
; An empty left-hand-side means that it will fetch
; the entire contents of the 'url' key.
; old-style (migrated from previous versions of git-svn)
; are like this:
fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn
; this is created by a current version of git-svn
; using the multi-init command with an explicit
; url (specified above). This allows multi-init
; to reuse SVN::Ra connections.
fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/trunk
fetch = branches/a:refs/remotes/a
fetch = branches/b:refs/remotes/b
fetch = tags/0.1:refs/remotes/tags/0.1
fetch = tags/0.2:refs/remotes/tags/0.2
fetch = tags/0.3:refs/remotes/tags/0.3
[svn-remote "alt"]
; this is another old-style remote migrated over
; to the new config format
url = http://foo.bar.org/alt
fetch = :refs/remotes/alt
It's becoming a maintenance burden. I've never found it
particularly useful myself, nor have I heard much feedback about
it; so I'm assuming it's just as useless to everyone else.
