Use longer alias names in subdirectory testsAaron Schrab Fri, 28 Dec 2012 23:03:06 +0000 (18:03 -0500)

Use longer alias names in subdirectory tests

When testing aliases in t/t1020-subdirectory.sh use longer names so that
they're less likely to conflict with a git-* command somewhere in the
$PATH.

I have a git-ss command in my path which prevents the 'ss' alias from
being used. This command will always fail for git.git, causing the test
to fail. Even if the command succeeded, that would be a false success
for the test since the alias wasn't actually used. A longer, more
descriptive name will make it much less likely that somebody has a
command in their $PATH which will shadow the alias created for the test.

While here, use a longer name for the 'test' alias as well since that is
also short and meaningful enough to make it not unlikely that somebody
would have a command in their $PATH which will shadow that as well.

Remove the suggestion to use parsecvs, which is currently broken.

The parsecvs code has been neglected for a long time, and the only
public version does not even build correctly. I have been handed
control of the project and intend to fix this, but until I do it
cannot be recommended.

Also, the project URL given for Subversion needed to be updated
to follow their site move.

git-remote-helpers.txt: document invocation before input format

In the distant past, the order things were documented was
'Invocation', 'Commands', 'Capabilities', ...

Then it was decided that before giving a list of Commands, there
should be an overall description of the 'Input format', which was
a wise decision. However, this description was put as the very
first thing, with the rationale that any implementor would want
to know that first.

However, it seems an implementor would actually first need to
know how the remote helper will be invoked, so moving
'Invocation' to the front again seems logical. Moreover, we now
don't switch from discussing the input format to the invocation
style and then back to input related stuff.

This prevents users from finding a seemingly random untracked file
in their worktree.

This is different than what mergetool does with $LOCAL and
$REMOTE because those files exist to aid users when resolving
merges. p4merge's /dev/null placeholder is not helpful in that
situation so it is sensible to keep it out of the worktree.

refs: do not use cached refs in repack_without_refJeff King Fri, 21 Dec 2012 08:04:49 +0000 (03:04 -0500)

refs: do not use cached refs in repack_without_ref

When we delete a ref that is packed, we rewrite the whole
packed-refs file and simply omit the ref that no longer
exists. However, we base the rewrite on whatever happens to
be in our refs cache, not what is necessarily on disk. That
opens us up to a race condition if another process is
simultaneously packing the refs, as we will overwrite their
newly-made pack-refs file with our potentially stale data,
losing commits.

You can demonstrate the race like this:

# setup some repositories
git init --bare parent &&
(cd parent && git config core.logallrefupdates true) &&
git clone parent child &&
(cd child && git commit --allow-empty -m base)

# in one terminal, repack the refs repeatedly
cd parent &&
while true; do
git pack-refs --all
done

# in another terminal, simultaneously push updates to
# master, and create and delete an unrelated ref
cd child &&
while true; do
git push origin HEAD:newbranch &&
git commit --allow-empty -m foo
us=`git rev-parse master` &&
git push origin master &&
git push origin :newbranch &&
them=`git --git-dir=../parent rev-parse master` &&
if test "$them" != "$us"; then
echo >&2 "$them" != "$us"
exit 1
fi
done

In many cases the two processes will conflict over locking
the packed-refs file, and the deletion of newbranch will
simply fail. But eventually you will hit the race, which
happens like this:

1. We push a new commit to master. It is already packed
(from the looping pack-refs call). We write the new
value (let us call it B) to $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master,
but the old value (call it A) remains in the
packed-refs file.

2. We push the deletion of newbranch, spawning a
receive-pack process. Receive-pack advertises all refs
to the client, causing it to iterate over each ref; it
caches the packed refs in memory, which points at the
stale value A.

3. Meanwhile, a separate pack-refs process is running. It
runs to completion, updating the packed-refs file to
point master at B, and deleting $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master
which also pointed at B.

4. Back in the receive-pack process, we get the
instruction to delete :newbranch. We take a lock on
packed-refs (which works, as the other pack-refs
process has already finished). We then rewrite the
contents using the cached refs, which contain the stale
value A.

The resulting packed-refs file points master once again at
A. The loose ref which would override it to point at B was
deleted (rightfully) in step 3. As a result, master now
points at A. The only trace that B ever existed in the
parent is in the reflog: the final entry will show master
moving from A to B, even though the ref still points at A
(so you can detect this race after the fact, because the
next reflog entry will move from A to C).

We can fix this by invalidating the packed-refs cache after
we have taken the lock. This means that we will re-read the
packed-refs file, and since we have the lock, we will be
sure that what we read will be atomically up-to-date when we
write (it may be out of date with respect to loose refs, but
that is OK, as loose refs take precedence).

tests: change info messages from yellow/brown to cyan

Now that we've adopted a "traffic lights" coloring scheme, yellow is
used for warning messages, so we need to re-color info messages to
something less alarmist. Blue is a universal color for informational
messages; however we are using that for skipped tests in order to
align with the color schemes of other test suites. Therefore we use
cyan which is also blue-ish, but visually distinct from blue.

This was suggested on the list a while ago and no-one raised any
objections:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/205675/focus=205966

An earlier iteration of this patch used bold cyan, but the point of
this change is to make them less alarming; let's drop the boldness.

Also paint the message to report skipping the whole thing via
GIT_SKIP_TESTS mechanism in the same color as the "info" color
that is used on the final summary line for the entire script.

Skipped tests indicate incomplete test coverage. Whilst this is not a
test failure or other error, it's still not a complete success.

Other testsuite related software like automake, autotest and prove

tests: paint known breakages in yellowAdam Spiers Sun, 16 Dec 2012 18:28:10 +0000 (18:28 +0000)

tests: paint known breakages in yellow

Yellow seems a more appropriate color than bold green when
considering the universal traffic lights coloring scheme, where
green conveys the impression that everything's OK, and amber that
something's not quite right.

Likewise, change the color of the summarized total number of known
breakages from bold red to the same yellow to be less alarmist and
more consistent with the above.

An earlier version of this patch used bold yellow but because these
are all long-known failures, reminding them to developers in bold
over and over does not help encouraging them to take a look at them
very much. This iteration paints them in plain yellow instead to
make them less distracting.

oneway_merge(): only lstat() when told to update worktreeMartin von Zweigbergk Thu, 20 Dec 2012 21:03:36 +0000 (13:03 -0800)

oneway_merge(): only lstat() when told to update worktree

Although the subject line of 613f027 (read-tree -u one-way merge fix
to check out locally modified paths., 2006-05-15) mentions "read-tree
-u", it did not seem to check whether -u was in effect. Not checking
whether -u is in effect makes e.g. "read-tree --reset" lstat() the
worktree, even though the worktree stat should not matter for that
operation.

This speeds up e.g. "git reset" a little on the linux-2.6 repo (best
of five, warm cache):

git-compat-util.h: do not #include <sys/param.h> by default

Earlier we allowed platforms that lack <sys/param.h> not to include
the header file from git-compat-util.h; we have included this header
file since the early days back when we used MAXPATHLEN (which we no
longer use) and also depended on it slurping ULONG_MAX (which we get
by including stdint.h or inttypes.h these days).

It turns out that we can compile our modern codebase just file
without including it on many platforms (so far, Fedora, Debian,
Ubuntu, MinGW, Mac OS X, Cygwin, HP-Nonstop, QNX and z/OS are
reported to be OK).

Let's stop including it by default, and on platforms that need it to
be included, leave "make NEEDS_SYS_PARAM_H=YesPlease" as an escape
hatch and ask them to report to us, so that we can find out about
the real dependency and fix it in a more platform agnostic way.

add global --literal-pathspecs optionJeff King Wed, 19 Dec 2012 22:37:30 +0000 (17:37 -0500)

add global --literal-pathspecs option

Git takes pathspec arguments in many places to limit the
scope of an operation. These pathspecs are treated not as
literal paths, but as glob patterns that can be fed to
fnmatch. When a user is giving a specific pattern, this is a
nice feature.

However, when programatically providing pathspecs, it can be
a nuisance. For example, to find the latest revision which
modified "$foo", one can use "git rev-list -- $foo". But if
"$foo" contains glob characters (e.g., "f*"), it will
erroneously match more entries than desired. The caller
needs to quote the characters in $foo, and even then, the
results may not be exactly the same as with a literal
pathspec. For instance, the depth checks in
match_pathspec_depth do not kick in if we match via fnmatch.

This patch introduces a global command-line option (i.e.,
one for "git" itself, not for specific commands) to turn
this behavior off. It also has a matching environment
variable, which can make it easier if you are a script or
porcelain interface that is going to issue many such
commands.

This option cannot turn off globbing for particular
pathspecs. That could eventually be done with a ":(noglob)"
magic pathspec prefix. However, that level of granularity is
more cumbersome to use for many cases, and doing ":(noglob)"
right would mean converting the whole codebase to use
"struct pathspec", as the usual "const char **pathspec"
cannot represent extra per-item flags.

submodule add: If --branch is given, record it in .gitmodules

This allows you to easily record a submodule.<name>.branch option in
.gitmodules when you add a new submodule. With this patch,

$ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>]
$ git config -f .gitmodules submodule.<path>.branch <branch>

reduces to

$ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>]

This means that future calls to

$ git submodule update --remote ...

will get updates from the same branch that you used to initialize the
submodule, which is usually what you want.

submodule update: add --remote for submodule's upstream... W. Trevor King Wed, 19 Dec 2012 16:03:32 +0000 (11:03 -0500)

submodule update: add --remote for submodule's upstream changes

The current `update` command incorporates the superproject's gitlinked
SHA-1 ($sha1) into the submodule HEAD ($subsha1). Depending on the
options you use, it may checkout $sha1, rebase the $subsha1 onto
$sha1, or merge $sha1 into $subsha1. This helps you keep up with
changes in the upstream superproject.

However, it's also useful to stay up to date with changes in the
upstream subproject. Previous workflows for incorporating such
changes include the ungainly:

$ git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'

With this patch, all of the useful functionality for incorporating
superproject changes can be reused to incorporate upstream subproject
updates. When you specify --remote, the target $sha1 is replaced with
a $sha1 of the submodule's origin/master tracking branch. If you want
to merge a different tracking branch, you can configure the
`submodule.<name>.branch` option in `.gitmodules`. You can override
the `.gitmodules` configuration setting for a particular superproject
by configuring the option in that superproject's default configuration
(using the usual configuration hierarchy, e.g. `.git/config`,
`~/.gitconfig`, etc.).

Previous use of submodule.<name>.branch
=======================================

Because we're adding a new configuration option, it's a good idea to
check if anyone else is already using the option. The foreach-pull
example above was described by Ævar in

commit f030c96d8643fa0a1a9b2bd9c2f36a77721fb61f
Author: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>
Date: Fri May 21 16:10:10 2010 +0000

git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variable

Gerrit uses the same interpretation for the setting, but because
Gerrit has direct access to the subproject repositories, it updates
the superproject repositories automatically when a subproject changes.
Gerrit also accepts the special value '.', which it expands into the
superproject's branch name.

Although the --remote functionality is using `submodule.<name>.branch`
slightly differently, the effect is the same. The foreach-pull
example uses the option to record the name of the local branch to
checkout before pulls. The tracking branch to be pulled is recorded
in `.git/modules/<name>/config`, which was initialized by the module
clone during `submodule add` or `submodule init`. Because the branch
name stored in `submodule.<name>.branch` was likely the same as the
branch name used during the initial `submodule add`, the same branch
will be pulled in each workflow.

Implementation details
======================

In order to ensure a current tracking branch state, `update --remote`
fetches the submodule's remote repository before calculating the
SHA-1. However, I didn't change the logic guarding the existing fetch:

if test -z "$nofetch"
then
# Run fetch only if $sha1 isn't present or it
# is not reachable from a ref.
(clear_local_git_env; cd "$path" &&
( (rev=$(git rev-list -n 1 $sha1 --not --all 2>/dev/null) &&
test -z "$rev") || git-fetch)) ||
die "$(eval_gettext "Unable to fetch in submodule path '\$path'")"
fi

There will not be a double-fetch, because the new $sha1 determined
after the `--remote` triggered fetch should always exist in the
repository. If it doesn't, it's because some racy process removed it
from the submodule's repository and we *should* be re-fetching.

The test helper svnrdump_sim.py is used as "svnrdump" during the
execution of this test, but the arrangement was not optimal:

- it relied on symbolic links;
- unportable "export VAR=VAL" was used;
- GIT_BUILD_DIR variable was not quoted correctly;
- it assumed that the Python interpreter is in /usr/bin/ and
called "python" (i.e. not "python2.7" etc.)

These "expect-failure" tests were not looking for the right string

was looking for "^ *S." in these three files:

"E."
"Cipient <scipient@example.com>$"
"patch5"

With some implementations of grep, the lack of file "E." was
reported as an error, leading to the failure of the test.

was in patch5, without diagnosing the missing files as an error, and
made these tests unexpectedly pass.

The check_snapshot function makes sure that no cruft outside the

There are two issues with this implementation:

- Traditional tar implemenations that do not understand
pax_global_header will write it out as if it is a plain file at
the top-level;

- Some implementations of tar do not add trailing slash when
showing a directory entry (i.e. the output line for the entire

Makefile: detect when PYTHON_PATH changes

When make is run, the python scripts are created from *.py files that
are changed to use the python given by PYTHON_PATH. And PYTHON_PATH
is set by default to /usr/bin/python on Linux.

This is nice except when you run make another time setting a
different PYTHON_PATH, because, as the python scripts have already
been created, make finds nothing to do.

The goal of this patch is to detect when the PYTHON_PATH changes and
to create the python scripts again when this happens. To do that we
use the same trick that is done to track other variables like prefix,
flags, tcl/tk path and shell path. We update a GIT-PYTHON-VARS file
with the PYTHON_PATH and check if it changed.

Documentation: move support for old compilers to CodingGuidelines

The "Try to be nice to older C compilers" text is clearly a guideline
to be borne in mind whilst coding rather than when submitting patches.

SubmittingPatches: add convention of prefixing commit messages

Conscientious newcomers to git development will read SubmittingPatches
and CodingGuidelines, but could easily miss the convention of
prefixing commit messages with a single word identifying the file
or area the commit touches.

Documentation: don't link to example mail addressesJohn Keeping Sun, 16 Dec 2012 14:00:29 +0000 (14:00 +0000)

Documentation: don't link to example mail addresses

Email addresses in documentation are converted into mailto: hyperlinks
in the HTML output and footnotes in man pages. This isn't desirable for
cases where the address is used as an example and is not valid.

Particularly annoying is the example "jane@laptop.(none)" which appears
in git-shortlog(1) as "jane@laptop[1].(none)", with note 1 saying:

1. jane@laptop
mailto:jane@laptop

Fix this by escaping these email addresses with a leading backslash, to
prevent Asciidoc expanding them as inline macros.

In the case of mailmap.txt, render the address monospaced so that it
matches the block examples surrounding that paragraph.

tests: test number comes first in 'not ok $count - $message'

The old output to say "not ok - 1 messsage" was working by accident
only because the test numbers are optional in TAP.

cache-tree: invalidate i-t-a paths after generating trees

Intent-to-add entries used to forbid writing trees so it was not a
problem. After commit 3f6d56d (commit: ignore intent-to-add entries
instead of refusing - 2012-02-07), we can generate trees from an index
with i-t-a entries.

However, the commit forgets to invalidate all paths leading to i-t-a
entries. With fully valid cache-tree (e.g. after commit or
write-tree), diff operations may prefer cache-tree to index and not
see i-t-a entries in the index, because cache-tree does not have them.

cache-tree: fix writing cache-tree when CE_REMOVE is... Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Sun, 16 Dec 2012 04:15:27 +0000 (11:15 +0700)

cache-tree: fix writing cache-tree when CE_REMOVE is present

entry_count is used in update_one() for two purposes:

1. to skip through the number of processed entries in in-memory index
2. to record the number of entries this cache-tree covers on disk

Unfortunately when CE_REMOVE is present these numbers are not the same
because CE_REMOVE entries are automatically removed before writing to
disk but entry_count is not adjusted and still counts CE_REMOVE
entries.

Separate the two use cases into two different variables. #1 is taken
care by the new field count in struct cache_tree_sub and entry_count
is prepared for #2.

cache-tree: replace "for" loops in update_one with "while" loops

The loops in update_one can be increased in two different ways: step
by one for files and by <n> for directories. "for" loop is not
suitable for this as it always steps by one and special handling is
required for directories. Replace them with "while" loops for clarity.

cache-tree: remove dead i-t-a code in verify_cache()

This code is added in 331fcb5 (git add --intent-to-add: do not let an
empty blob be committed by accident - 2008-11-28) to forbid committing
when i-t-a entries are present. When we allow that, we forgot to
remove this.
