This reverts commit 24317ef32ac3111ed00792f9b2921dc19dd28fe2.

Different versions of Mercurial have different arguments for
bookmarks.updatefromremote(), while it should be possible to call the
right function with the right arguments depending on the version, it's
safer to restore the old behavior for now.

gitk: Display the date of a tag in a human-friendly way

By selecting a tag within gitk you can display information about it.
This information is output by using the command

'git cat-file tag <tagid>'

This outputs the *raw* information from the tag, amongst which is the
time - in seconds since the epoch. As useful as that value is, I find it
a lot easier to read and process time which it is something like:

"Mon Dec 31 14:26:11 2012 -0800"

gitk: Improve behaviour of drop-down listsPaul Mackerras Sat, 11 May 2013 07:08:41 +0000 (17:08 +1000)

gitk: Improve behaviour of drop-down lists

The drop-down lists used for things like the criteria for finding
commits (containing/touching paths/etc.) use a combobox if we are
using the ttk widgets. By default the combobox exports its value
as the selection when it is changed, which is unnecessary, and sometimes
the combobox wouldn't release the selection, which is annoying.

To fix this, we make these comboboxes not export their selection,
and also clear their selection whenever they are changed. This makes
them more like a simple selection of alternatives, improving the look

t5004: avoid using tar for checking emptiness of archiveRené Scharfe Thu, 9 May 2013 13:13:47 +0000 (15:13 +0200)

t5004: avoid using tar for checking emptiness of archive

Test 2 of t5004 checks if a supposedly empty tar archive really
contains no files. 24676f02 (t5004: fix issue with empty archive test
and bsdtar) removed our commit hash to make it work with bsdtar, but
the test still fails on NetBSD and OpenBSD, which use their own tar
that considers a tar file containing only NULs as broken.

Here's what the different archivers do when asked to create a tar
file without entries:

$ uname -v
NetBSD 6.0.1 (GENERIC)
$ gtar --version | head -1
tar (GNU tar) 1.26
$ bsdtar --version
bsdtar 2.8.4 - libarchive 2.8.4

$ : >zero.tar
$ perl -e 'print "\0" x 10240' >tenk.tar
$ sha1 zero.tar tenk.tar
SHA1 (zero.tar) = da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709
SHA1 (tenk.tar) = 34e163be8e43c5631d8b92e9c43ab0bf0fa62b9c

$ : | tar cf - -T - | sha1
da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709
$ : | gtar cf - -T - | sha1
34e163be8e43c5631d8b92e9c43ab0bf0fa62b9c
$ : | bsdtar cf - -T - | sha1
34e163be8e43c5631d8b92e9c43ab0bf0fa62b9c

So NetBSD's native tar creates an empty file, while GNU tar and bsdtar
both give us 10KB of NULs -- just like git archive with an empty tree.
Now let's see how the archivers handle these two kinds of empty tar
files:

$ tar tf zero.tar; echo $?
tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file
1
$ gtar tf zero.tar; echo $?
gtar: This does not look like a tar archive
gtar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
2
$ bsdtar tf zero.tar; echo $?
0

$ tar tf tenk.tar; echo $?
tar: Cannot identify format. Searching...
tar: End of archive volume 1 reached
tar: Sorry, unable to determine archive format.
1
$ gtar tf tenk.tar; echo $?
0
$ bsdtar tf tenk.tar; echo $?
0

NetBSD's tar complains about both, bsdtar happily accepts any of them
and GNU tar doesn't like zero-length archive files. So the safest
course of action is to stay with our block-of-NULs format which is
compatible with GNU tar and bsdtar, as we can't make NetBSD's native
tar happy anyway.

We can simplify our test, however, by taking tar out of the picture.
Instead of extracting the archive and checking for the non-presence of
files, check if the file has a size of 10KB and contains only NULs.
This makes t5004 pass on NetBSD and OpenBSD.

t5004: ignore pax global header file

Versions of tar that don't know pax headers -- like the ones in NetBSD 6
and OpenBSD 5.2 -- extract them as regular files. Explicitly ignore the
file created for our global header when checking the list of extracted
files, as this is normal and harmless fall-back behaviour. This fixes
test 3 of t5004 on these platforms.

If you have an SVN repository with many top level directories and you

merge-tree: handle directory/empty conflict correctly

git-merge-tree causes a null pointer dereference when a directory
entry exists in only one or two of the three trees being compared with
no corresponding entry in the other tree(s).

When this happens, we want to handle the entry as a directory and not
attempt to mark it as a file merge. Do this by setting the entries bit
in the directory mask when the entry is missing or when it is a
directory, only performing the file comparison when we know that a file
entry exists.

pack_one_ref(): use function peel_entry()

Change pack_one_ref() to call peel_entry() rather than using its own
code for peeling references. Aside from sharing code, this lets it
take advantage of the optimization introduced by 6c4a060d7d.

Please note that we *could* use any peeled values that happen to
already be stored in the ref_entries, which would avoid some object
lookups for references that were already packed. But doing so would
also propagate any peeling errors across runs of "git pack-refs" and
give no way to recover from such errors. And "git pack-refs" isn't
run often enough that the performance cost is a problem. So instead,
add a new option to peel_entry() to force the entry to be re-peeled,
and call it with that option set.

refs: extract a function write_packed_entry()

Extract the I/O code from the "business logic" in repack_ref_fn().
Later there will be another caller for this function.

repack_without_ref(): write peeled refs in the rewritten file

When a reference that existed in the packed-refs file is deleted, the
packed-refs file must be rewritten. Previously, the file was
rewritten without any peeled refs, even if the file contained peeled
refs when it was read. This was not a bug, because the packed-refs
file header didn't claim that the file contained peeled values. But
it had a performance cost, because the repository would lose the
benefit of having precomputed peeled references until pack-refs was
run again.

Teach repack_without_ref() to write peeled refs to the packed-refs
file (regardless of whether they were present in the old version of
the file).

This means that if the old version of the packed-refs file was not
fully peeled, then repack_without_ref() will have to peel references.
To avoid the expense of reading lots of loose references, we take two
shortcuts relative to pack-refs:

* If the peeled value of a reference is already known (i.e., because
it was read from the old version of the packed-refs file), then
output that peeled value again without any checks. This is the
usual code path and should avoid any noticeable overhead. (This is
different than pack-refs, which always re-peels references.)

* We don't verify that the packed ref is still current. It could be
that a packed references is overridden by a loose reference, in
which case the packed ref is no longer needed and might even refer
to an object that has been garbage collected. But we don't check;
instead, we just try to peel all references. If peeling is
successful, the peeled value is written out (even though it might
not be needed any more); if not, then the reference is silently
omitted from the output.

The extra overhead of peeling references in repack_without_ref()
should only be incurred the first time the packed-refs file is written
by a version of Git that knows about the "fully-peeled" attribute.

t3211: demonstrate loss of peeled refs if a packed ref is deleted

Add a test that demonstrates that the peeled values recorded in
packed-refs are lost if a packed ref is deleted. (The code in
repack_without_ref() doesn't even attempt to write peeled refs.) This
will be fixed in a moment.

refs: change how packed refs are deletedMichael Haggerty Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:52:27 +0000 (21:52 +0200)

refs: change how packed refs are deleted

Add a function remove_ref(), which removes a single entry from a
reference cache.

Use this function to reimplement repack_without_ref(). The old
version iterated over all refs, packing all of them except for the one
to be deleted, then discarded the entire packed reference cache. The
new version deletes the doomed reference from the cache *before*
iterating.

This has two advantages:

* the code for writing packed-refs becomes simpler, because it doesn't
have to exclude one of the references.

* it is no longer necessary to discard the packed refs cache after
deleting a reference: symbolic refs cannot be packed, so packed
references cannot depend on each other, so the rest of the packed
refs cache remains valid after a reference is deleted.
