Support 'diff=pgm' attributeJunio C Hamano Mon, 23 Apr 2007 00:52:55 +0000 (17:52 -0700)

Support 'diff=pgm' attribute

This enhances the attributes mechanism so that external programs
meant for existing GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF interface can be specifed
per path.

To configure such a custom diff driver, first define a custom
diff driver in the configuration:

[diff "my-c-diff"]
command = <<your command string comes here>>

Then mark the paths that you want to use this custom driver
using the attribute mechanism.

*.c diff=my-c-diff

The intent of this separation is that the attribute mechanism is
used for specifying the type of the contents, while the
configuration mechanism is used to define what needs to be done
to that type of the contents, which would be specific to both
platform and personal taste.

lockfile: record the primary process.Junio C Hamano Sat, 21 Apr 2007 10:11:10 +0000 (03:11 -0700)

lockfile: record the primary process.

The usual process flow is the main process opens and holds the lock to
the index, does its thing, perhaps spawning children during the course,
and then writes the resulting index out by releaseing the lock.

However, the lockfile interface uses atexit(3) to clean it up, without
regard to who actually created the lock. This typically leads to a
confusing behaviour of lock being released too early when the child
exits, and then the parent process when it calls commit_lockfile()
finds that it cannot unlock it.

This fixes the problem by recording who created and holds the lock, and
upon atexit(3) handler, child simply ignores the lockfile the parent
created.

Fix a copy-n-paste bug in the object decorator code.

Duh.

When I did the object decorator thing, I made the "loop over the hash"
function use the same logic for updating the hash, ie made them use

if (++j >= size)
j = 0;

for both the hash update for both "insert" and "lookup"

HOWEVER.

For some inexplicable reason I had an extraneous

j++;

in the insert path (probably just from the fact that the old code there
used

j++;
if (j >= size)
j = 0;

and when I made them use the same logic I just didn't remove the old
extraneous line properly.

Kill the useless progress meter in merge-recursive

The mess known as the progress meter in merge-recursive was my own
fault; I put it in thinking that we might be spending a lot of time
resolving unmerged entries in the index that were not handled by
the simple 3-way index merge code.

Turns out we don't really spend that much time there, so the progress
meter was pretty much always jumping to "(n/n) 100%" as soon as
the program started. That isn't a very good indication of progress.

Since I don't have a great solution for how a progress meter should
work here, I'm proposing we back it out entirely.

Contribute a fairly paranoid update hookShawn O. Pearce Fri, 20 Apr 2007 06:08:47 +0000 (02:08 -0400)

Contribute a fairly paranoid update hook

I'm using a variant of this update hook in a corporate environment
where we perform some validations of the commits and tags that
are being pushed. The model is a "central repository" type setup,
where users are given access to push to specific branches within
the shared central repository. In this particular installation we
run a specially patched git-receive-pack in setuid mode via SSH,
allowing all writes into the repository as the repository owner,
but only if this hook blesses it.

One of the major checks we perform with this hook is that the
'committer' line of a commit, or the 'tagger' line of a new annotated
tag actually correlates to the UNIX user who is performing the push.
Users can falsify these lines on their local repositories, but
the central repository that management trusts will reject all such
forgery attempts. Of course 'author' lines are still allowed to
be any value, as sometimes changes do come from other individuals.

Another nice feature of this hook is the access control lists for
all repositories on the system can also be stored and tracked in
a supporting Git repository, which can also be access controlled
by itself. This allows full auditing of who-had-what-when-and-why,
thanks to git-blame's data mining capabilities.

Fix working directory errno handling when unlinking a directory

Alex Riesen noticed that the case where a file replaced a directory entry
in the working tree was broken on cygwin. It turns out that the code made
some Linux-specific assumptions, and also ignored errors entirely for the
case where the entry was a symlink rather than a file.

This cleans it up by separating out the common case into a function of its
own, so that both regular files and symlinks can share it, and by making
the error handling more obvious (and not depend on any Linux-specific
behaviour).

Update 'crlf' attribute semantics.Junio C Hamano Fri, 20 Apr 2007 05:37:19 +0000 (22:37 -0700)

Update 'crlf' attribute semantics.

This updates the semantics of 'crlf' so that .gitattributes file
can say "this is text, even though it may look funny".

Setting the `crlf` attribute on a path is meant to mark the path
as a "text" file. 'core.autocrlf' conversion takes place
without guessing the content type by inspection.

Unsetting the `crlf` attribute on a path is meant to mark the
path as a "binary" file. The path never goes through line
endings conversion upon checkin/checkout.

Unspecified `crlf` attribute tells git to apply the
`core.autocrlf` conversion when the file content looks like
text.

Setting the `crlf` attribut to string value "input" is similar
to setting the attribute to `true`, but also forces git to act
as if `core.autocrlf` is set to `input` for the path.

Tests for core subproject supportAlex Riesen Wed, 18 Apr 2007 23:55:45 +0000 (01:55 +0200)

Tests for core subproject support

The following tests available:

- create subprojects: create a directory in the superproject,
initialize a git repo in it, and try adding it in super project.
Make a commit in superproject

- check if fsck ignores the subprojects: it just should give no errors

- check if commit in a subproject detected: make a commit in
subproject, git-diff-files in superproject should detect it

- check if a changed subproject HEAD can be committed: try
"git-commit -a" in superproject. It should commit changed
HEAD of a subproject

- check if diff-index works for subproject elements: compare the index
(changed by previuos tests) with the initial commit (which created
two subprojects). Should show a change for the recently changed subproject

- check if diff-tree works for subproject elements: do the same, just use
git-diff-tree. This test is somewhat redundant, I just added it for
completeness (diff, diff-files, and diff-index are already used)

- check if git diff works for subproject elements: try to limit
the diff for the name of a subproject in superproject:
git diff HEAD^ HEAD -- subproject

- check if clone works: try a clone of superproject and compare
"git ls-files -s" output in superproject and cloned repo

- removing and adding subproject: rename test. Currently implemented
as "git-update-index --force-remove", "mv" and "git-add".

- checkout in superproject: try to checkout the initial commit

Rather than sorting the refs list while building it, sort in one

performance boost with large numbers of refs.

It shouldn't happen that we read duplicate entries into the same

Fix overwriting of files when applying contextually independent diffs

Noticed by applying two diffs of different contexts to the same file.

The check for existence of a file was wrong: the test assumed it was
a directory and reset the errno (twice: directly and by calling
lstat). So if an entry existed and was _not_ a directory no attempt
was made to rename into it, because the errno (expected by renaming
code) was already reset to 0. This resulted in error:

fatal: unable to write file file mode 100644

For Linux, removing "errno = 0" is enough, as lstat wont modify errno
if it was successful. The behavior should not be depended upon,
though, so modify the "if" as well.

The test simulates this situation.

Custom low-level merge driver support.Junio C Hamano Wed, 18 Apr 2007 05:51:45 +0000 (22:51 -0700)

Custom low-level merge driver support.

This allows users to specify custom low-level merge driver per
path, using the attributes mechanism. Just like you can specify
one of built-in "text", "binary", "union" low-level merge
drivers by saying:

* merge=text
.gitignore merge=union
*.jpg merge=binary

pick a name of your favorite merge driver, and assign it as the
value of the 'merge' attribute.

A custom low-level merge driver is defined via the config
mechanism. This patch introduces 'merge.driver', a multi-valued
configuration. Its value is the name (i.e. the one you use as
the value of 'merge' attribute) followed by a command line
specification. The command line can contain %O, %A, and %B to
be interpolated with the names of temporary files that hold the
common ancestor version, the version from your branch, and the
version from the other branch, and the resulting command is
spawned.

The low-level merge driver is expected to update the temporary
file for your branch (i.e. %A) with the result and exit with
status 0 for a clean merge, and non-zero status for a conflicted
merge.

A new test in t6026 demonstrates a sample usage.

Allow specifying specialized merge-backend per path.Junio C Hamano Tue, 17 Apr 2007 05:59:18 +0000 (22:59 -0700)

Allow specifying specialized merge-backend per path.

This allows 'merge' attribute to control how the file-level
three-way merge is done per path.

- If you set 'merge' to true, leave it unspecified, or set it
to "text", we use the built-in 3-way xdl-merge.

- If you set 'merge' to false, or set it to "binary, the
"binary" merge is done. The merge result is the blob from
'our' tree, but this still leaves the path conflicted, so
that the mess can be sorted out by the user. This is
obviously meant to be useful for binary files.

- 'merge=union' (this is the first example of a string valued
attribute, introduced in the previous one) uses the "union"
merge. The "union" merge takes lines in conflicted hunks
from both sides, which is useful for line-oriented files such
as .gitignore.

Instead fo setting merge to 'true' or 'false' by using 'merge'
or '-merge', setting it explicitly to "text" or "binary" will
become useful once we start allowing custom per-path backends to
be added, and allow them to be activated for the default
(i.e. 'merge' attribute specified to 'true' or 'false') case,
using some other mechanisms. Setting merge attribute to "text"
or "binary" will be a way to explicitly request to override such
a custom default for selected paths.

Currently there is no way to specify random programs but it
should be trivial for motivated contributors to add later.

There is one caveat, though. ll_merge() is called for both
internal ancestor merge and the outer "final" merge. I think an
interactive custom per-path merge backend should refrain from
going interactive when performing an internal merge (you can
tell it by checking call_depth) and instead just call either
ll_xdl_merge() if the content is text, or call ll_binary_merge()
otherwise.

Allow more than true/false to attributes.Junio C Hamano Tue, 17 Apr 2007 04:33:31 +0000 (21:33 -0700)

Allow more than true/false to attributes.

This allows you to define three values (and possibly more) to
each attribute: true, false, and unset.

Typically the handlers that notice and act on attribute values
treat "unset" attribute to mean "do your default thing"
(e.g. crlf that is unset would trigger "guess from contents"),
so being able to override a setting to an unset state is
actually useful.

- If you want to set the attribute value to true, have an entry
in .gitattributes file that mentions the attribute name; e.g.

*.o binary

- If you want to set the attribute value explicitly to false,
use '-'; e.g.

*.a -diff

- If you want to make the attribute value _unset_, perhaps to
override an earlier entry, use '!'; e.g.

*.a -diff
c.i.a !diff

This also allows string values to attributes, with the natural
syntax:

attrname=attrvalue

but you cannot use it, as nobody takes notice and acts on
it yet.

Make sure quickfetch is not fooled with a previous... Junio C Hamano Mon, 16 Apr 2007 07:42:29 +0000 (00:42 -0700)

Make sure quickfetch is not fooled with a previous, incomplete fetch.

This updates git-rev-list --objects to be a bit more careful
when listing a blob object to make sure the blob actually
exists, and uses it to make sure the quick-fetch optimization we
introduced earlier is not fooled by a previous incomplete fetch.

The quick-fetch optimization works by running this command:

git rev-list --objects <<commit-list>> --not --all

where <<commit-list>> is a list of commits that we are going to
fetch from the other side. If there is any object missing to
complete the <<commit-list>>, the rev-list would fail and die
(say, the commit was in our repository, but its tree wasn't --
then it will barf while trying to list the blobs the tree
contains because it cannot read that tree).

Usually we do not have the objects (otherwise why would we
fetching?), but in one important special case we do: when the
remote repository is used as an alternate object store
(i.e. pointed by .git/objects/info/alternates). We could check
.git/objects/info/alternates to see if the remote we are
interacting with is one of them (or is used as an alternate,
recursively, by one of them), but that check is more cumbersome
than it is worth.

The above check however did not catch missing blob, because
object listing code did not read nor check blob objects, knowing
that blobs do not contain any further references to other
objects. This commit fixes it with practically unmeasurable
overhead.

I've benched this with

git rev-list --objects --all >/dev/null

in the kernel repository, with three different implementations
of the "check-blob".

- Checking with has_sha1_file() has negligible (unmeasurable)
performance penalty.

- Checking with sha1_object_info() makes it somewhat slower,
perhaps by 5%.

- Checking with read_sha1_file() to cause a fully re-validation
is prohibitively expensive (about 4 times as much runtime).

In my original patch, I had this as a command line option, but
the overhead is small enough that it is not really worth it.

But perhaps more importantly than the statistics (that are useful when

to make sure that they all go through the same blocking allocator.

pack-objects: better check_object() performancesNicolas Pitre Mon, 16 Apr 2007 16:32:13 +0000 (12:32 -0400)

pack-objects: better check_object() performances

With large amount of objects, check_object() is really trashing the pack
sliding map and the filesystem cache. It has a completely random access
pattern especially with old objects where delta replay jumps back and
forth all over the pack.

This patch improves things by:

1) sorting objects by their offset in pack before calling check_object()
so the pack access pattern is linear;

2) recording the object type at add_object_entry() time since it is
already known in most cases;

3) recording the pack offset even for preferred_base objects;

4) avoid calling sha1_object_info() if all possible.

This limits pack accesses to the bare minimum and makes them perfectly
linear.

In the process check_object() was made more clear (to me at least).

Note: I thought about walking the sorted_by_offset list backward in
get_object_details() so if a pack happens to be larger than the available
file cache, then the cache would have been populated with useful data from
the beginning of the pack already when find_deltas() is called. Strangely,
testing (on Linux) showed absolutely no performance difference.

... which consists of existing code split out of packed_delta_info()
for other callers to use it as well.

pack-objects: make in_pack_header_size a variable of its own

It currently aliases delta_size on the principle that reused deltas won't
go through the whole delta matching loop hence delta_size was unused.
This is not true if given delta doesn't find its base in the pack though.
But we need that information even for whole object data reuse.

Well in short the current state looks awful and is prone to bugs. It just
works fine now because try_delta() tests trg_entry->delta before using
trg_entry->delta_size, but that is a bit subtle and I was wondering for a
while why things just worked fine... even if I'm guilty of having
introduced this abomination myself in the first place.

Let's do the sensible thing instead with no ambiguity, which is to have
a separate variable for in_pack_header_size. This might even help future
optimizations.

While at it, let's reorder some struct object_entry members so they all
align well with their own width, regardless of the architecture or the
size of off_t. Some memory saving is to be expected with this alone.

pack-objects: get rid of create_final_object_list()Nicolas Pitre Mon, 16 Apr 2007 16:31:05 +0000 (12:31 -0400)

pack-objects: get rid of create_final_object_list()

Because we don't have to know the SHA1 h(hence the name) of the pack
up front anymore, let's get rid of yet another global sorted object list
and sort them only in write_index_file(), then compute the object list
SHA1 on the fly.

This has the advantage of saving another chunk of memory, and the sorted
list SHA1 won't be computed needlessly on servers during a fetch.

Of course the cunning plan is also to make write_index_file() much like
the function with the same name in index-pack.c for an eventual easy
sharing.

pack-objects: get rid of reuse_cached_packNicolas Pitre Mon, 16 Apr 2007 16:30:15 +0000 (12:30 -0400)

pack-objects: get rid of reuse_cached_pack

This capability is practically never useful, and therefore never tested,
because it is fairly unlikely that the requested pack will be already
available. Furthermore it is of little gain over the ability to reuse
existing pack data.

In fact the ability to change delta type on the fly when reusing delta
data is a nice thing that has almost no cost and allows greater backward
compatibility with a client's capabilities than if the client is blindly
sent a whole pack without any discrimination.

And this "feature" is simply in the way of other cleanups.
Let's get rid of it.

pack-objects: clean up list sortingNicolas Pitre Mon, 16 Apr 2007 16:29:54 +0000 (12:29 -0400)

pack-objects: clean up list sorting

Get rid of sort_comparator() as it impose a run time double indirect
function call for little compile time type checking gain.

Also get rid of create_sorted_list() as it only has one user which would
as well be just fine doing its sorting locally. Eventually the list of
deltifiable objects might be shorter than the whole object list.
