prune-packed: use strbuf to avoid having to worry about PATH_MAX

A/very/long/path/to/.git that becomes exactly PATH_MAX bytes long
after suffixed with /objects/??/??38-hex??, would have overflown
the on-stack pathname[] buffer.

Prevent buffer overflows when path is too longAntoine Pelisse Sat, 14 Dec 2013 11:31:16 +0000 (12:31 +0100)

Prevent buffer overflows when path is too long

Some buffers created with PATH_MAX length are not checked when being
written, and can overflow if PATH_MAX is not big enough to hold the
path.

Replace those buffers by strbufs so that their size is automatically
grown if necessary. They are created as static local variables to avoid
reallocating memory on each call. Note that prefix_filename() returns
this static buffer so each callers should copy or use the string
immediately (this is currently true).

pack-objects doc: treat output filename as opaque

After 1190a1a (pack-objects: name pack files after trailer hash,
2013-12-05), the SHA-1 used to determine the filename is calculated
differently. Update the documentation to not guarantee anything more
than that the SHA-1 depends on the pack content somehow.

Hopefully this will discourage readers from depending on the old or

Merge branch 'mh/fetch-tags-in-addition-to-normal-refs'

The "--tags" option to "git fetch" used to be literally a synonym to
a "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" refspec, which meant that (1) as an
explicit refspec given from the command line, it silenced the lazy
"git fetch" default that is configured, and (2) also as an explicit
refspec given from the command line, it interacted with "--prune"
to remove any tag that the remote we are fetching from does not
have.

This demotes it to an option; with it, we fetch all tags in
addition to what would be fetched without the option, and it does
not interact with the decision "--prune" makes to see what
remote-tracking refs the local has are missing the remote
counterpart.

diff: don't read index when --no-index is givenThomas Gummerer Wed, 11 Dec 2013 09:58:43 +0000 (10:58 +0100)

diff: don't read index when --no-index is given

git diff --no-index ... currently reads the index, during setup, when
calling gitmodules_config(). This results in worse performance when the
index is not actually needed. This patch avoids calling
gitmodules_config() when the --no-index option is given. The times for
executing "git diff --no-index" in the WebKit repository are improved as
follows:

Test HEAD~3 HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------
4001.1: diff --no-index 0.24(0.15+0.09) 0.01(0.00+0.00) -95.8%

An additional improvement of this patch is that "git diff --no-index" no
longer breaks when the index file is corrupt, which makes it possible to
use it for investigating the broken repository.

To improve the possible usage as investigation tool for broken
repositories, setup_git_directory_gently() is also not called when the
--no-index option is given.

Also add a test to guard against future breakages, and a performance
test to show the improvements.

diff: move no-index detection to builtin/diff.c

Currently the --no-index option is parsed in diff_no_index(). Move the
detection if a no-index diff should be executed to builtin/diff.c, where
we can use it for executing diff_no_index() conditionally. This will
also allow us to execute other operations conditionally, which will be
done in the next patch.

builtin/replace: unset read_replace_refs

When checking to see if some objects are of the same type
and when displaying the type of objects, git replace uses
the sha1_object_info() function.

Unfortunately this function by default respects replace
refs, so instead of the type of a replaced object, it
gives the type of the replacement object which might
be different.

To fix this bug, and because git replace should work at a
level before replacement takes place, let's unset the
read_replace_refs global variable at the beginning of
cmd_replace().

t6050: add tests for listing with --format

This patch adds tests for "git replace -l --format=<fmt>".

'short', 'medium' and 'full' are the only allowed values
for <fmt>.

'short' is the same as with no --format option.
Tests for 'medium' and 'full' are the most needed.

builtin/replace: teach listing using short, medium or full formats

By default when listing replace refs, only the sha1 of the
replaced objects are shown.

In many cases, it is much nicer to be able to list all the
sha1 of the replaced objects along with the sha1 of the
replacment objects.

And in other cases it might be interesting to also show the
types of the replaced and replacement objects.

This patch introduce a new --format=<fmt> option where
<fmt> can be any of the following:

'short': this is the same as when no --format
option is used, that is only the sha1 of
the replaced objects are shown
'medium': this also lists the sha1 of the
replacement objects
'full': this shows the sha1 and the type of both
the replaced and the replacement objects

Some documentation and some tests will follow.

t6050: show that git cat-file --batch fails with replace objects

When --batch is passed to git cat-file, the sha1_object_info_extended()
function is used to get information about the objects passed to
git cat-file.

Unfortunately sha1_object_info_extended() doesn't take care of
object replacement properly, so it will often fail with a
message like this:

cat-file: handle --batch format with missing type/sizeJeff King Wed, 11 Dec 2013 23:15:50 +0000 (07:15 +0800)

cat-file: handle --batch format with missing type/size

Commit 98e2092 taught cat-file to stream blobs with --batch,
which requires that we look up the object type before
loading it into memory. As a result, we now print the
object header from information in sha1_object_info, and the
actual contents from the read_sha1_file. We double-check
that the information we printed in the header matches the
content we are about to show.

Later, commit 93d2a60 allowed custom header lines for
--batch, and commit 5b08640 made type lookups optional. As a
result, specifying a header line without the type or size
means that we will not look up those items at all.

This causes our double-checking to erroneously die with an
error; we think the type or size has changed, when in fact
it was simply left at "0".

For the size, we can fix this by only doing the consistency
double-check when we have retrieved the size via
sha1_object_info. In the case that we have not retrieved the
value, that means we also did not print it, so there is
nothing for us to check that we are consistent with.

We could do the same for the type. However, besides our
consistency check, we also care about the type in deciding
whether to stream or not. So instead of handling the case
where we do not know the type, this patch instead makes sure
that we always trigger a type lookup when we are printing,
so that even a format without the type will stream as we
would in the normal case.

cat-file: pass expand_data to print_object_or_die

We currently individually pass the sha1, type, and size
fields calculated by sha1_object_info. However, if we pass
the whole struct, the called function can make more
intelligent decisions about which fields were actually
filled by sha1_object_info.

This patch takes that first refactoring step, passing the
whole struct, so further patches can make those decisions
with less noise in their diffs. There should be no
functional change to this patch (aside from a minor typo fix
in the error message).

As a side effect, we can rename the local variables in the
function to "type" and "size", since the names are no longer
taken.

rebase: use reflog to find common base with upstreamJohn Keeping Mon, 9 Dec 2013 23:16:16 +0000 (23:16 +0000)

rebase: use reflog to find common base with upstream

Commit 15a147e (rebase: use @{upstream} if no upstream specified,
2011-02-09) says:

Make it default to 'git rebase @{upstream}'. That is also what
'git pull [--rebase]' defaults to, so it only makes sense that
'git rebase' defaults to the same thing.

but that isn't actually the case. Since commit d44e712 (pull: support
rebased upstream + fetch + pull --rebase, 2009-07-19), pull has actually
chosen the most recent reflog entry which is an ancestor of the current
branch if it can find one.

Add a '--fork-point' argument to git-rebase that can be used to trigger
this behaviour. This option is turned on by default if no non-option
arguments are specified on the command line, otherwise we treat an
upstream specified on the command-line literally.

One note about using file:// under Windows:

The (absolute) path on Unix like system typically starts with "/".
When the host is empty, it can be omitted, so that a shell scriptlet
url=file://$pwd
will give a URL like "file:///home/user/repo".

Windows does not have the same concept of a root directory located in "/".
When parsing the URL allow "file://C:/user/repo"
(even if RFC1738 indicates that "file:///C:/user/repo" should be used).

This has not been working for "host:/~repo".

Before commit 356bec "Support [address] in URLs", the comparison
"url != hostname" could be used to determine if the URL had a scheme
or not: "ssh://host/host" != "host".

However, after 356bec "[::1]" was converted into "::1", yielding
url != hostname as well. To fix this regression, don't use
"if (url != hostname)", but look at the separator instead.

rev-parse: be more careful with munging argumentsJeff King Fri, 6 Dec 2013 22:07:52 +0000 (17:07 -0500)

rev-parse: be more careful with munging arguments

When rev-parse looks at whether an argument like "foo..bar" or
"foobar^@" is a difference or parent-shorthand, it internally
munges the arguments so that it can pass the individual rev
arguments to get_sha1(). However, we do not consistently un-munge
the result.

For cases where we do not match (e.g., "doesnotexist..HEAD"), we
would then want to try to treat the argument as a filename.
try_difference gets() this right, and always unmunges in this case.
However, try_parent_shorthand() never unmunges, leading to incorrect
error messages, or even incorrect results:

$ git rev-parse foobar^@
foobar
fatal: ambiguous argument 'foobar': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

$ >foobar
$ git rev-parse foobar^@
foobar

For cases where we do match, neither function unmunges. This does
not currently matter, since we are done with the argument. However,
a future patch will do further processing, and this prepares for
it. In addition, it's simply a confusing interface for some cases to
modify the const argument, and others not to.

Rev-parse understands that a "--" may separate revisions and

However, it does not understand that anything before the

implemented by the setup_revisions parser).

Since rev-parse prefers revisions to files when parsing
before the "--", we end up with the correct result (if such
an argument is a revision, we parse it as one, and if it is
not, it is an error either way). However, we misdiagnose
the errors:

$ git rev-parse foobar -- >/dev/null
fatal: ambiguous argument 'foobar': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

$ >foobar
$ git rev-parse foobar -- >/dev/null

In both cases, we should know that the real error is that
"foobar" is meant to be a revision, but could not be

difftool: display the number of files in the diff queue in the prompt

When --prompt option is set, git-difftool displays a prompt for each

point, it could be useful to display a counter and the total number
of files in the diff queue.

Below is the current difftool prompt for the first of 5 modified files:

Viewing: 'diff.c'

Consider the modified prompt:

Viewing (1/5): 'diff.c'
Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]:

The current GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF mechanism does not tell the number of
paths in the diff queue nor the current counter. To make this
"counter/total" info available for GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF programs
without breaking existing ones by doing the following:

- Keep track of the number of paths shown so far in diff_options;

- Export two new environment variables from run_external_diff() to
show the total number of paths (from diff_queue_struct) and the
current value of the counter (from diff_options); and

- Update git-difftool--helper to use these two environment variables.

pathspec.c: support adding prefix magic to a pathspec with mnemonic magic

Back in 233c3e6 (parse_pathspec: preserve prefix length via
PATHSPEC_PREFIX_ORIGIN - 2013-07-14), parse_pathspec() is taught to
save prefix length as a dynamic magic. This is needed when the
pathspec is passed to another process and and prefix lenght would be
lost.

Back then we support two cases. If the pathspec is normal, e.g. "abc",
we simply add the prefix to become ":(prefix:2)abc". If the pathspec
contains long magic, e.g. ":(foo,bar)abc" then we turn it to
":(foo,bar,prefix:2)abc". We do not support prefixing on short form,
because the only supported mnemonic '/' disappears after the the
preprocessing steps.

With the introduction of exclude magic with mnemonic '!', we need to
add support for the short form case so that ':!abc' becomes
':(exclude,prefix:2)abc'. Without this, it will break

cd Documentation
git add -p -- . ':!technical'

clone,fetch: catch non positive --depth option value

Instead of simply ignoring the value passed to --depth option when
it is zero or negative, catch and report it as an error to let
people know that they were using the option incorrectly.

config: arbitrary number of matches for --unset and --replace-all

git-config used a static match array to hold the matches we want to
unset/replace when using --unset or --replace-all. Use a
variable-sized array instead.

This in particular fixes the symptoms git-svn had when storing large
numbers of svn-remote.*.added-placeholder entries in the config file.

While the tests are rather more paranoid than just --unset and
--replace-all, the other operations already worked. Indeed git-svn's
usage only breaks the first time *after* creating so many entries,
when it wants to unset and re-add them all.
