daemon: Strictly parse the "extra arg" part of the command

Since 1.4.4.5 (49ba83fb67 "Add virtualization support to git-daemon")
git daemon enters an infinite loop and never terminates if a client
hides any extra arguments in the initial request line which is not
exactly "\0host=blah\0".

Since that change, a client must never insert additional extra
arguments, or attempt to use any argument other than "host=", as
any daemon will get stuck parsing the request line and will never
complete the request.

Since the client can't tell if the daemon is patched or not, it
is not possible to know if additional extra args might actually be
able to be safely requested.

If we ever need to extend the git daemon protocol to support a new
feature, we may have to do something like this to the exchange:

# If both support git:// v2
#
C: 000cgit://v2
S: 0010ok host user
C: 0018host git.kernel.org
C: 0027git-upload-pack /pub/linux-2.6.git
S: ...git-upload-pack header...

# If client supports git:// v2, server does not:
#
C: 000cgit://v2
S: <EOF>

C: 003bgit-upload-pack /pub/linux-2.6.git\0host=git.kernel.org\0
S: ...git-upload-pack header...

This requires the client to create two TCP connections to talk to
an older git daemon, however all daemons since the introduction of
daemon.c will safely reject the unknown "git://v2" command request,
so the client can quite easily determine the server supports an
older protocol.

grep: fix empty word-regexp matches

The command "git grep -w ''" dies as soon as it encounters an empty line,
reporting (wrongly) that "regexp returned nonsense". The first hunk of
this patch relaxes the sanity check that is responsible for that,
allowing matches to start at the end.

The second hunk complements it by making sure that empty matches are
rejected if -w was specified, as they are not really words.

GNU grep does the same:

$ echo foo | grep -c ''
1
$ echo foo | grep -c -w ''
0

blame: correctly handle a path that used to be a directory

When trying to see if the same path exists in the parent, we ran
"diff-tree" with pathspec set to the path we are interested in with the
parent, and expect either to have exactly one resulting filepair (either
"changed from the parent", "created when there was none") or nothing (when
there is no change from the parent).

If the path used to be a directory, however, we will also see unbounded
number of entries that talk about the files that used to exist underneath
the directory in question. Correctly pick only the entry that describes
the path we are interested in in such a case (namely, the creation of the
path as a regular file).

Noticed by Ben Willard.

fix cat-file usage message and documentation

cat-file with an object on the command line requires an
option to tell it what to output (type, size, pretty-print,
etc). However, the square brackets in the usage imply that
those options are not required. This patch switches them to
parentheses to indicate "required but grouped-OR" (curly
braces might also work, but this follows the convention used
already by "git stash").

While we're at it, let's change the <sha1> specifier in the
usage to <object>. That's what the documentation uses, and
it does actually use the regular object lookup.

fetch: report ref storage DF errors more accurately

When we fail to store a fetched ref, we recommend that the
user try running "git prune" to remove up any old refs that
have been deleted by the remote, which would clear up any DF
conflicts. However, ref storage might fail for other
reasons (e.g., permissions problems) in which case the
advice is useless and misleading.

This patch detects when there is an actual DF situation and
only issues the advice when one is found.

lock_ref: inform callers of unavailable ref

One of the ways that locking might fail is that there is a
DF conflict between two refs (e.g., you want to lock
"foo/bar" but "foo" already exists). In this case, we return
an error, but there is no way for the caller to know the
specific problem.

This patch sets errno to ENOTDIR, which is the most sensible
code. It's what we would see if the refs were stored purely
in the filesystem (but these days we must check the
namespace manually due to packed refs).

commit: -F overrides -t

Commit dbd0f5c7 (Files given on the command line are relative to $cwd,
2008-08-06) introduced parse_options_fix_filename() as a quick fix for
filename arguments used in the parse options API.

git-commit was still broken. This means

git commit -F log -t temp

in a subdirectory would make git think the log message should be taken
from temp instead of log.

This is because parse_options_fix_filename() calls prefix_filename()
which uses a single static char buffer to do its work. Making two calls
with two char pointers causes the pointers to alias. To prevent
aliasing, we duplicate the string returned by
parse_options_fix_filename().

dir.c: clean up handling of 'path' parameter in read_directory_recursive()

Right now we pass two different pathnames ('path' and 'base') down to
read_directory_recursive(), and the only real reason for that is that we
want to allow an empty 'base' parameter, but when we do so, we need the
pathname to "opendir()" to be "." rather than the empty string.

And rather than handle that confusion in the caller, we can just fix
read_directory_recursive() to handle the case of an empty path itself,
by just passing opendir() a "." ourselves if the path is empty.

This would allow us to then drop one of the pathnames entirely from the
calling convention, but rather than do that, we'll start separating them
out as a "filesystem pathname" (the one we use for filesystem accesses)
and a "git internal base name" (which is the name that we use for git
internally).

That will eventually allow us to do things like handle different
encodings (eg the filesystem pathnames might be Latin1, while git itself
would use UTF-8 for filename information).

As I very often work on a detached HEAD, I found it pretty confusing
when __git_ps1() said 'some-name'. Did I create a branch with that name
by mistake, or do I happen to be on a commit with that exact tag?

This patch fixes the issue by enclosing non branch names in a pair of
parentheses when used to substitute %s token in __git_ps1() argument.

It also fixes a small bug where the branch part is left empty when
.git/HEAD is unreadable for whatever reason. The output now says
"(unknown)".

completion: fix PS1 display during a merge on detached HEAD

If your merge stops in a conflict while on a detached HEAD, recent
completion code fails to show anything. This was because various cases
added to support the operation-in-progress markers (e.g. REBASE, MERGING)
forgot that they need to set the variable "b" to something for the result
they computed to be displayed at all.

Probably not many people make trial merges on a detached HEAD (which is
tremendously useful feature of git, by the way), and that may be why this
was not noticed for a long time.

merge-recursive: never leave index unmerged while recursing

When you are trying to come up with the final result (i.e. depth=0), you
want to record how the conflict arose by registering the state of the
common ancestor, your branch and the other branch in the index, hence you
want to do update_stages().

When you are merging with positive depth, that is because of a criss-cross
merge situation. In such a case, you would need to record the tentative
result, with conflict markers and all, as if the merge went cleanly, even
if there are conflicts, in order to write it out as a tree object later to
be used as a common ancestor tree.

update_file() calls update_file_flags() with update_cache=1 to signal that
the result needs to be written to the index at stage #0 (i.e. merged), and
the code should not clobber the index further by calling update_stages().

The codepath to deal with rename/delete conflict in a recursive merge
however left the index unmerged.

Teach 'git checkout' to preload the index contentsLinus Torvalds Sat, 9 May 2009 22:11:17 +0000 (15:11 -0700)

Teach 'git checkout' to preload the index contents

This makes git checkout know to use the threaded index preloading if it
is enabled in the config file. You need to have

[core]
preloadindex = true

in your config file to see it, and for that feature to make sense your
filesystem needs to be able to do concurrent 'lstat()' lookups, but when
that is the case (especially NFS over a high-latency network), this can
be a noticeable performance win.

But with a low-latency network and at least older Linux NFS clients, this
will clearly potentially cause a lot of lock contention. It may still
speed up the uncached case, but the threading and locking overhead will
result in the cached case likely slowing down.

That was almost certainly fixed by Linux commit fc0f684c2 ("NFS: Remove
BKL from NFS lookup code"), but that one got merged into 2.6.27-rc1, so
older kernel versions than 2.6.27 will not scale very well.

But regardless, it's the right thing to do. If your filesystem doesn't
scale, don't enable index preloading.

Avoid unnecessary 'lstat()' calls in 'get_stat_data()'Linus Torvalds Sat, 9 May 2009 21:57:30 +0000 (14:57 -0700)

Avoid unnecessary 'lstat()' calls in 'get_stat_data()'

When we ask get_stat_data() to get the mode and size of an index entry,
we can avoid the lstat() call if we have marked the index entry as being
uptodate due to earlier lstat() calls.

This avoids a lot of unnecessary lstat() calls in eg 'git checkout',
where the last phase shows the differences to the working tree
(requiring a diff), but earlier phases have already verified the index.

On the kernel repo (with a fast machine and everything cached), this
changes timings of a nul 'git checkout' from

- Before (best of ten):

0.14user 0.05system 0:00.19elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+13237minor)pagefaults 0swaps

- After
0.11user 0.03system 0:00.15elapsed 98%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+13235minor)pagefaults 0swaps

so it can obviously be noticeable, although equally obviously it's not a
show-stopper on this particular machine. The difference is likely larger
on slower machines, or with operating systems that don't do as good a job
of name caching.

add: don't complain when adding empty project root

We try to warn the user if one of their pathspecs caused no
matches, as it may have been a typo. However, we disable the
warning if the pathspec points to an existing file, since
that means it is not a typo but simply an empty directory.

Unfortunately, the file_exists() test was broken for one
special case: the pathspec of the project root is just "".
This patch detects this special case and acts as if the file
exists (which it must, since it is the project root).

The user-visible effect is that this:

$ mkdir repo && cd repo && git init && git add .

used to complain like:

fatal: pathspec '' did not match any files

but now is a silent no-op.

fix GIT_TRACE segfault with shell-quoted aliases

The alias argv comes from the split_cmdline function, which
splits the config text for the alias into an array of
strings. It returns the number of elements in the array, but
does not actually put a NULL at the end of the array.
Later, the trace function tries to print this argv and
assumes that it has the trailing NULL.

The split_cmdline function is probably at fault, since argv
lists almost always end with a NULL signal. This patch adds
one, in addition to the returned count; this doesn't hurt
the other callers at all, since they were presumably using
the count already (and will never look at the NULL).
