diff-index: enable recursive pathspec matching in unpack_trees

The pathspec structure has a few bits of data to drive various operation
modes after we unified the pathspec matching logic in various codepaths.
For example, max_depth field is there so that "git grep" can limit the
output for files found in limited depth of tree traversal. Also in order
to show just the surface level differences in "git diff-tree", recursive
field stops us from descending into deeper level of the tree structure
when it is set to false, and this also affects pathspec matching when
we have wildcards in the pathspec.

The diff-index has always wanted the recursive behaviour, and wanted to
match pathspecs without any depth limit. But we forgot to do so when we
updated tree_entry_interesting() logic to unify the pathspec matching
logic.

write_remote_refs(): create packed (rather than extra) refs

write_remote_refs() creates new packed refs from references obtained
from the remote repository, which is "out of thin air" as far as the
local repository is concerned. Previously it did this by creating
"extra" refs, then calling pack_refs() to bake them into the
packed-refs file. Instead, create packed refs (in the packed
reference cache) directly, then call pack_refs().

Aside from being more logical, this is another step towards removing
extra refs entirely.

ref_array: keep track of whether references are sortedMichael Haggerty Tue, 17 Jan 2012 05:50:32 +0000 (06:50 +0100)

ref_array: keep track of whether references are sorted

Keep track of how many entries at the beginning of a ref_array are already
sorted. In sort_ref_array(), return early if the the array is already
sorted (i.e., if no new references has been appended to the end of the
list since the last call to sort_ref_array()).

Sort ref_arrays only when needed, namely in search_ref_array() and in
do_for_each_ref(). However, never call sort_ref_array() on the
extra_refs, because extra_refs can contain multiple entries with the same
name and because sort_ref_array() not only sorts, but de-dups its
contents.

This change is currently not useful, because entries are not added to
ref_arrays after they are created. But in a moment they will be...

Implementation note: we could store a binary "sorted" value instead of
an integer, but storing the number of sorted entries leaves the way
open for a couple of possible future optimizations:

* In sort_ref_array(), sort *only* the unsorted entries, then merge
them with the sorted entries. This should be faster if most of the
entries are already sorted.

* Teach search_ref_array() to do a binary search of any sorted
entries, and if unsuccessful do a linear search of any unsorted
entries. This would avoid the need to sort the list every time that
search_ref_array() is called, and (given some intelligence about how
often to sort) could significantly improve the speed in certain
hypothetical usage patterns.

credential-cache: ignore "connection refused" errorsJeff King Tue, 17 Jan 2012 06:02:32 +0000 (01:02 -0500)

credential-cache: ignore "connection refused" errors

The credential-cache helper will try to connect to its
daemon over a unix socket. Originally, a failure to do so
was silently ignored, and we would either give up (if
performing a "get" or "erase" operation), or spawn a new
daemon (for a "store" operation).

But since 8ec6c8d, we try to report more errors. We detect a
missing daemon by checking for ENOENT on our connection
attempt. If the daemon is missing, we continue as before
(giving up or spawning a new daemon). For any other error,
we die and report the problem.

However, checking for ENOENT is not sufficient for a missing
daemon. We might also get ECONNREFUSED if a dead daemon
process left a stale socket. This generally shouldn't
happen, as the daemon cleans up after itself, but the daemon
may not always be given a chance to do so (e.g., power loss,
"kill -9").

The resulting state is annoying not just because the helper
outputs an extra useless message, but because it actually
blocks the helper from spawning a new daemon to replace the
stale socket.

Fix it by checking for ECONNREFUSED.

index-pack: eliminate recursion in find_unresolved_deltas

Current find_unresolved_deltas() links all bases together in a form of
tree, using struct base_data, with prev_base pointer to point to
parent node. Then it traverses down from parent to children in
recursive manner with all base_data allocated on stack.

To eliminate recursion, we simply need to put all on heap
(parse_pack_objects and fix_unresolved_deltas). After that, it's
simple non-recursive depth-first traversal loop. Each node also
maintains its own state (ofs and ref indices) to iterate over all
children nodes.

So we process one node:

- if it returns a new (child) node (a parent base), we link it to our
tree, then process the new node.

- if it returns nothing, the node is done, free it. We go back to
parent node and resume whatever it's doing.

and do it until we have no nodes to process.

thin-pack: try harder to use preferred base objects as base

When creating a pack using objects that reside in existing packs, we try
to avoid recomputing futile delta between an object (trg) and a candidate
for its base object (src) if they are stored in the same packfile, and trg
is not recorded as a delta already. This heuristics makes sense because it
is likely that we tried to express trg as a delta based on src but it did
not produce a good delta when we created the existing pack.

As the pack heuristics prefer producing delta to remove data, and Linus's
law dictates that the size of a file grows over time, we tend to record
the newest version of the file as inflated, and older ones as delta
against it.

When creating a thin-pack to transfer recent history, it is likely that we
will try to send an object that is recorded in full, as it is newer. But
the heuristics to avoid recomputing futile delta effectively forbids us
from attempting to express such an object as a delta based on another
object. Sending an object in full is often more expensive than sending a
suboptimal delta based on other objects, and it is even more so if we
could use an object we know the receiving end already has (i.e. preferred
base object) as the delta base.

Tweak the recomputation avoidance logic, so that we do not punt on
computing delta against a preferred base object.

The effect of this change can be seen on two simulated upload-pack
workloads. The first is based on 44 reflog entries from my git.git
origin/master reflog, and represents the packs that kernel.org sent me git
updates for the past month or two. The second workload represents much
larger fetches, going from git's v1.0.0 tag to v1.1.0, then v1.1.0 to
v1.2.0, and so on.

The table below shows the average generated pack size and the average CPU
time consumed for each dataset, both before and after the patch:

dataset
| reflog | tags
---------------------------------
before | 53358 | 2750977
size after | 32398 | 2668479

word-diff: ignore '\ No newline at eof' markerThomas Rast Thu, 12 Jan 2012 11:15:33 +0000 (12:15 +0100)

word-diff: ignore '\ No newline at eof' marker

The word-diff logic accumulates + and - lines until another line type
appears (normally [ @\]), at which point it generates the word diff.
This is usually correct, but it breaks when the preimage does not have
a newline at EOF:

$ printf "%s" "a a a" >a
$ printf "%s\n" "a ab a" >b
$ git diff --no-index --word-diff a b
diff --git 1/a 2/b
index 9f68e94..6a7c02f 100644
--- 1/a
+++ 2/b
@@ -1 +1 @@
[-a a a-]
No newline at end of file
{+a ab a+}

Because of the order of the lines in a unified diff

@@ -1 +1 @@
-a a a
\ No newline at end of file
+a ab a

the '\' line flushed the buffers, and the - and + lines were never
matched with each other.

A proper fix would defer such markers until the end of the hunk.
However, word-diff is inherently whitespace-ignoring, so as a cheap
fix simply ignore the marker (and hide it from the output).

We use a prefix match for '\ ' to parallel the logic in
apply.c:parse_fragment(). We currently do not localize this string
(just accept other variants of it in git-apply), but this should be
future-proof.

sequencer: factor code out of revert builtin

Expose the cherry-picking machinery through a public
sequencer_pick_revisions() (renamed from pick_revisions() in
builtin/revert.c), so that cherry-picking and reverting are special
cases of a general sequencer operation. The cherry-pick builtin is
now a thin wrapper that does command-line argument parsing before
calling into sequencer_pick_revisions(). In the future, we can write
a new "foo" builtin that calls into the sequencer like:

memset(&opts, 0, sizeof(opts));
opts.action = REPLAY_FOO;
opts.revisions = xmalloc(sizeof(*opts.revs));
parse_args_populate_opts(argc, argv, &opts);
init_revisions(opts.revs);
sequencer_pick_revisions(&opts);

Due to MSYS path mangling GIT_DIR contains a Windows-style path when

unix-socket: do not let close() or chdir() clobber errno during cleanup

unix_stream_connect and unix_stream_listen return -1 on error, with
errno set by the failing underlying call to allow the caller to write
a useful diagnosis.

Unfortunately the error path involves a few system calls itself, such
as close(), that can themselves touch errno.

This is not as worrisome as it might sound. If close() fails, this
just means substituting one meaningful error message for another,
which is perfectly fine. However, when the call _succeeds_, it is
allowed to (and sometimes might) clobber errno along the way with some
undefined value, so it is good higiene to save errno and restore it
immediately before returning to the caller. Do so.

Introduce new tests that look more closely at overlay situations
when there are conflicting files. Five of these are broken.
Document the brokenness.

This is a fundamental problem with how git-p4 only "borrows" a
client spec. At some sync operation, a new change can contain
a file which is already in the repo or explicitly deleted through
another mapping. To sort this out would involve listing all the
files in the client spec to find one with a higher priority.
While this is not too hard for the initial import, subsequent

request-pull: use the real fork point when preparing the message

The command takes the "start" argument and computes the merge base
between it and the commit to be pulled so that we can show the diffstat,
but uses the "start" argument as-is when composing the message

The following changes since commit $X are available

to tell the integrator which commit the work is based on. Giving "origin"
(most of the time it resolves to refs/remotes/origin/master) as the start
argument is often convenient, but it is usually not the fork point, and
does not help the integrator at all.

Use the real fork point, which is the merge base we already compute, when
composing that part of the message.

attr: drop misguided defensive coding

In prepare_attr_stack, we pop the old elements of the stack
(which were left from a previous lookup and may or may not
be useful to us). Our loop to do so checks that we never
reach the top of the stack. However, the code immediately
afterwards will segfault if we did actually reach the top of
the stack.

Fortunately, this is not an actual bug, since we will never
pop all of the stack elements (we will always keep the root
gitattributes, as well as the builtin ones). So the extra
check in the loop condition simply clutters the code and
makes the intent less clear. Let's get rid of it.

attr: don't confuse prefixes with leading directoriesJeff King Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:08:21 +0000 (13:08 -0500)

attr: don't confuse prefixes with leading directories

When we prepare the attribute stack for a lookup on a path,
we start with the cached stack from the previous lookup
(because it is common to do several lookups in the same
directory hierarchy). So the first thing we must do in
preparing the stack is to pop any entries that point to
directories we are no longer interested in.

For example, if our stack contains gitattributes for:

foo/bar/baz
foo/bar
foo

but we want to do a lookup in "foo/bar/bleep", then we want
to pop the top element, but retain the others.

To do this we walk down the stack from the top, popping
elements that do not match our lookup directory. However,
the test do this simply checked strncmp, meaning we would
mistake "foo/bar/baz" as a leading directory of
"foo/bar/baz_plus". We must also check that the character
after our match is '/', meaning we matched the whole path
component.

There are two special cases to consider:

1. The top of our attr stack has the empty path. So we
must not check for '/', but rather special-case the
empty path, which always matches.

2. Typically when matching paths in this way, you would
also need to check for a full string match (i.e., the
character after is '\0'). We don't need to do so in
this case, though, because our path string is actually
just the directory component of the path to a file
(i.e., we know that it terminates with "/", because the
filename comes after that).

credential-cache: report more daemon connection errors

Originally, this code remained relatively silent when we

simply a cache, and we didn't want to bother the user with
temporary failures (the worst case is that we would simply
ask their password again).

However, if you have a configuration failure or other
problem, it is helpful for the daemon to report those
problems. Git will happily ignore the failed error code, but
the extra information to stderr can help the user diagnose
the problem.

unix-socket: handle long socket pathnamesJeff King Tue, 10 Jan 2012 04:44:30 +0000 (23:44 -0500)

unix-socket: handle long socket pathnames

On many systems, the sockaddr_un.sun_path field is quite
small. Even on Linux, it is only 108 characters. A user of
the credential-cache daemon can easily surpass this,
especially if their home directory is in a deep directory
tree (since the default location expands ~/.git-credentials).

We can hack around this in the unix-socket.[ch] code by
doing a chdir() to the enclosing directory, feeding the
relative basename to the socket functions, and then
restoring the working directory.

This introduces several new possible error cases for
creating a socket, including an irrecoverable one in the
case that we can't restore the working directory. In the
case of the credential-cache code, we could perhaps get away
with simply chdir()-ing to the socket directory and never
coming back. However, I'd rather do it at the lower level
for a few reasons:

1. It keeps the hackery behind an opaque interface instead
of polluting the main program logic.

2. A hack in credential-cache won't help any unix-socket
users who come along later.

3. The chdir trickery isn't that likely to fail (basically
it's only a problem if your cwd is missing or goes away
while you're running). And because we only enable the
hack when we get a too-long name, it can only fail in
cases that would have failed under the previous code
anyway.

Sed then exits with status 2 causing the helper script to also exit

In turn, this was triggering a fatal error from git blame:

git-daemon tests: wait until daemon is ready

In start_daemon, git-daemon is started as a background process. In
theory, the tests may try to connect before the daemon had a chance
to open a listening socket. Avoid this race condition by waiting
for it to output "Ready to rumble". Any other output is considered
an error and the test is aborted.

Should git-daemon produce no output at all, lib-git-daemon would
block forever. This could be fixed by introducing a timeout. On
the other hand, we have no timeout for other git commands which
could suffer from the same problem. Since such a mechanism adds
some complexity, I have decided against it.

git-daemon: add tests

The semantics of the git daemon tests are similar to the http transport
tests. In fact, they are only a slightly modified copy of t5550, plus the
newly added remote error tests.

All git-daemon tests will be skipped unless the environment variable
GIT_TEST_GIT_DAEMON is set.

dashed externals: kill children on exitClemens Buchacher Sun, 8 Jan 2012 20:41:09 +0000 (21:41 +0100)

dashed externals: kill children on exit

Several git commands are so-called dashed externals, that is commands
executed as a child process of the git wrapper command. If the git
wrapper is killed by a signal, the child process will continue to run.
This is different from internal commands, which always die with the git
wrapper command.

Enable the recently introduced cleanup mechanism for child processes in
order to make dashed externals act more in line with internal commands.

run-command: optionally kill children on exitJeff King Sat, 7 Jan 2012 11:42:43 +0000 (12:42 +0100)

run-command: optionally kill children on exit

When we spawn a helper process, it should generally be done
and finish_command called before we exit. However, if we
exit abnormally due to an early return or a signal, the
helper may continue to run in our absence.

In the best case, this may simply be wasted CPU cycles or a
few stray messages on a terminal. But it could also mean a
process that the user thought was aborted continues to run
to completion (e.g., a push's pack-objects helper will
complete the push, even though you killed the push process).

This patch provides infrastructure for run-command to keep
track of PIDs to be killed, and clean them on signal
reception or input, just as we do with tempfiles. PIDs can
be added in two ways:

1. If NO_PTHREADS is defined, async helper processes are
automatically marked. By definition this code must be
ready to die when the parent dies, since it may be
implemented as a thread of the parent process.

2. If the run-command caller specifies the "clean_on_exit"
option. This is not the default, as there are cases
where it is OK for the child to outlive us (e.g., when
spawning a pager).

PIDs are cleared from the kill-list automatically during
wait_or_whine, which is called from finish_command and
finish_async.

Error out if we just spawned the daemon and yet we cannot connect.

t5541: avoid TAP test miscounting

lib-terminal.sh runs a test and thus increases the test count, but the
output is lost so that TAP produces a "no plan found error".

Move the lib-terminal call after the lib-httpd and make TAP happy
(though still leave me clueless).

fix push --quiet: add 'quiet' capability to receive... Clemens Buchacher Sun, 8 Jan 2012 21:06:20 +0000 (22:06 +0100)

fix push --quiet: add 'quiet' capability to receive-pack

Currently, git push --quiet produces some non-error output, e.g.:

$ git push --quiet
Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done.

This fixes a bug reported for the fedora git package:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725593

Reported-by: Jesse Keating <jkeating@redhat.com>
Cc: Todd Zullinger <tmz@pobox.com>
Commit 90a6c7d4 (propagate --quiet to send-pack/receive-pack)
introduced the --quiet option to receive-pack and made send-pack
pass that option. Older versions of receive-pack do not recognize
the option, however, and terminate immediately. The commit was
therefore reverted.

This change instead adds a 'quiet' capability to receive-pack,
which is a backwards compatible.

In addition, this fixes push --quiet via http: A verbosity of 0
means quiet for remote helpers.

server_supports(): parse feature list more carefullyJunio C Hamano Sun, 8 Jan 2012 21:06:19 +0000 (22:06 +0100)

server_supports(): parse feature list more carefully

We have been carefully choosing feature names used in the protocol
extensions so that the vocabulary does not contain a word that is a
substring of another word, so it is not a real problem, but we have
recently added "quiet" feature word, which would mean we cannot later
add some other word with "quiet" (e.g. "quiet-push"), which is awkward.

Let's make sure that we can eventually be able to do so by teaching the
clients and servers that feature words consist of non whitespace
letters. This parser also allows us to later add features with parameters
e.g. "feature=1.5" (parameter values need to be quoted for whitespaces,
but we will worry about the detauls when we do introduce them).

clone: add --single-branch to fetch only one branchNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Sat, 7 Jan 2012 14:45:59 +0000 (21:45 +0700)

clone: add --single-branch to fetch only one branch

When --single-branch is given, only one branch, either HEAD or one
specified by --branch, will be fetched. Also only tags that point to
the downloaded history are fetched.

This helps most in shallow clones, where it can reduce the download to
minimum and that is why it is enabled by default when --depth is given.
