repack: propagate pack-objects options as stringsJeff King Thu, 23 Jan 2014 01:30:13 +0000 (20:30 -0500)

repack: propagate pack-objects options as strings

In the original shell version of git-repack, any options
destined for pack-objects were left as strings, and passed
as a whole. Since the C rewrite in commit a1bbc6c (repack:
rewrite the shell script in C, 2013-09-15), we now parse
these values to integers internally, then reformat the
integers when passing the option to pack-objects.

This has the advantage that we catch format errors earlier
(i.e., when repack is invoked, rather than when pack-objects
is invoked).

It has three disadvantages, though:

1. Our internal data types may not be the right size. In
the case of "--window-memory" and "--max-pack-size",
these are "unsigned long" in pack-objects, but we can
only represent a regular "int".

2. Our parsing routines might not be the same as those of
pack-objects. For the two options above, pack-objects
understands "100m" to mean "100 megabytes", but repack
does not.

3. We have to keep a sentinel value to know whether it is
worth passing the option along. In the case of
"--window-memory", we currently do not pass it if the
value is "0". But that is a meaningful value to
pack-objects, where it overrides any configured value.

We can fix all of these by simply passing the strings from
the user along to pack-objects verbatim. This does not
actually fix anything for "--depth" or "--window", but these
are converted, too, for consistency.

git-svn: workaround for a bug in svn serf backendRoman Kagan Fri, 27 Dec 2013 08:05:15 +0000 (12:05 +0400)

git-svn: workaround for a bug in svn serf backend

Subversion serf backend in versions 1.8.5 and below has a bug(*) that the
function creating the descriptor of a file change -- add_file() --
doesn't make a copy of its third argument when storing it on the
returned descriptor. As a result, by the time this field is used (in
transactions of file copying or renaming) it may well be released, and
the memory reused.

One of its possible manifestations is the svn assertion triggering on an
invalid path, with a message

svn_fspath__skip_ancestor: Assertion
`svn_fspath__is_canonical(child_fspath)' failed.

This patch works around this bug, by storing the value to be passed as
the third argument to add_file() in a local variable with the same scope
as the file change descriptor, making sure their lifetime is the same.

send-email: /etc/ssl/certs/ directory may not be usable as ca_path

When sending patches on Fedora rawhide with
git-1.8.5.2-1.fc21.x86_64 and perl-IO-Socket-SSL-1.962-1.fc21.noarch,
with the following

[sendemail]
smtpencryption = tls
smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
smtpuser = ruben@rubenkerkhof.com
smtpserverport = 587

git-send-email fails with:

STARTTLS failed! SSL connect attempt failed with unknown error
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate
verify failed at /usr/libexec/git-core/git-send-email line 1236.

The current code detects the presence of /etc/ssl/certs directory
(it actually is a symlink to another directory, but that does not
matter) and uses SSL_ca_path to point at it when initializing the
connection with IO::Socket::SSL or Net::SMTP::SSL. However, on the
said platform, it seems that this directory is not designed to be
used as SSL_ca_path. Using a single file inside that directory
(cert.pem, which is a Mozilla CA bundle) with SSL_ca_file does work,
and also not specifying any SSL_ca_file/SSL_ca_path (and letting the
library use its own default) and asking for peer verification does
work.

By removing the code that blindly defaults $smtp_ssl_cert_path to
"/etc/ssl/certs", we can prevent the codepath that treats any
directory specified with that variable as usable for SSL_ca_path
from incorrectly triggering.

This change could introduce a regression for people on a platform
whose certificate directory is /etc/ssl/certs but its IO::Socket:SSL
somehow fails to use it as SSL_ca_path without being told. Using
/etc/ssl/certs directory as SSL_ca_path by default like the current
code does would have been hiding such a broken installation without
its user needing to do anything. These users can still work around
such a platform bug by setting the configuration variable explicitly
to point at /etc/ssl/certs.

This change should not negate what 35035bbf (send-email: be explicit
with SSL certificate verification, 2013-07-18), which was the
original change that introduced the defaulting to /etc/ssl/certs/,
attempted to do, which is to make sure we do not communicate over
insecure connection by default, triggering warning from the library.

revision: propagate flag bits from tags to pointeesJunio C Hamano Wed, 15 Jan 2014 20:26:13 +0000 (12:26 -0800)

revision: propagate flag bits from tags to pointees

With the previous fix 895c5ba3 (revision: do not peel tags used in
range notation, 2013-09-19), handle_revision_arg() that processes
command line arguments for the "git log" family of commands no
longer directly places the object pointed by the tag in the pending
object array when it sees a tag object. We used to place pointee
there after copying the flag bits like UNINTERESTING and
SYMMETRIC_LEFT.

This change meant that any flag that is relevant to later history
traversal must now be propagated to the pointed objects (most often
these are commits) while starting the traversal, which is partly
done by handle_commit() that is called from prepare_revision_walk().
We did propagate UNINTERESTING, but did not do so for others, most
notably SYMMETRIC_LEFT. This caused "git log --left-right v1.0..."
(where "v1.0" is a tag) to start losing the "leftness" from the
commit the tag points at.

revision: mark contents of an uninteresting tree uninte... Junio C Hamano Wed, 15 Jan 2014 23:38:01 +0000 (15:38 -0800)

revision: mark contents of an uninteresting tree uninteresting

"git rev-list --objects ^A^{tree} B^{tree}" ought to mean "I want a
list of objects inside B's tree, but please exclude the objects that
appear inside A's tree".

we see the top-level tree marked as uninteresting (i.e. ^A^{tree} in
the above example) and call mark_tree_uninteresting() on it; this
unfortunately prevents us from recursing into the tree and marking
the objects in the tree as uninteresting.

The reason why "git log ^A A" yields an empty set of commits,
i.e. we do not have a similar issue for commits, is because we call
mark_parents_uninteresting() after seeing an uninteresting commit.
The uninteresting-ness of the commit itself does not prevent its
parents from being marked as uninteresting.

Introduce mark_tree_contents_uninteresting() and structure the code
in handle_commit() in such a way that it makes it the responsibility
of the callchain leading to this function to mark commits, trees and
blobs as uninteresting, and also make it the responsibility of the
helpers called from this function to mark objects that are reachable
from them.

Note that this is a very old bug that probably dates back to the day
when "rev-list --objects" was introduced. The line to clear
tree->object.parsed at the end of mark_tree_contents_uninteresting()
can be removed when this fix is merged to the codebase after
6e454b9a (clear parsed flag when we free tree buffers, 2013-06-05).

interpret_branch_name: find all possible @-marksJeff King Wed, 15 Jan 2014 08:40:46 +0000 (03:40 -0500)

interpret_branch_name: find all possible @-marks

When we parse a string like "foo@{upstream}", we look for
the first "@"-sign, and check to see if it is an upstream
mark. However, since branch names can contain an @, we may
also see "@foo@{upstream}". In this case, we check only the
first @, and ignore the second. As a result, we do not find
the upstream.

We can solve this by iterating through all @-marks in the
string, and seeing if any is a legitimate upstream or
empty-at mark.

Another strategy would be to parse from the right-hand side
of the string. However, that does not work for the
"empty_at" case, which allows "@@{upstream}". We need to
find the left-most one in this case (and we then recurse as
"HEAD@{upstream}").

interpret_branch_name: avoid @{upstream} past colonJeff King Wed, 15 Jan 2014 08:37:23 +0000 (03:37 -0500)

interpret_branch_name: avoid @{upstream} past colon

get_sha1() cannot currently parse a valid object name like
"HEAD:@{upstream}" (assuming that such an oddly named file
exists in the HEAD commit). It takes two passes to parse the
string:

1. It first considers the whole thing as a ref, which
results in looking for the upstream of "HEAD:".

2. It finds the colon, parses "HEAD" as a tree-ish, and then
finds the path "@{upstream}" in the tree.

For a path that looks like a normal reflog (e.g.,
"HEAD:@{yesterday}"), the first pass is a no-op. We try to
dwim_ref("HEAD:"), that returns zero refs, and we proceed
with colon-parsing.

For "HEAD:@{upstream}", though, the first pass ends up in
interpret_upstream_mark, which tries to find the branch
"HEAD:". When it sees that the branch does not exist, it
actually dies rather than returning an error to the caller.
As a result, we never make it to the second pass.

One obvious way of fixing this would be to teach
interpret_upstream_mark to simply report "no, this isn't an
upstream" in such a case. However, that would make the
error-reporting for legitimate upstream cases significantly
worse. Something like "bogus@{upstream}" would simply report
"unknown revision: bogus@{upstream}", while the current code
diagnoses a wide variety of possible misconfigurations (no
such branch, branch exists but does not have upstream, etc).

However, we can take advantage of the fact that a branch
name cannot contain a colon. Therefore even if we find an
upstream mark, any prefix with a colon must mean that
the upstream mark we found is actually a pathname, and
should be disregarded completely. This patch implements that
logic.

interpret_branch_name: always respect "namelen" parameterJeff King Wed, 15 Jan 2014 08:31:57 +0000 (03:31 -0500)

interpret_branch_name: always respect "namelen" parameter

interpret_branch_name gets passed a "name" buffer to parse,
along with a "namelen" parameter representing its length. If
"namelen" is zero, we fallback to the NUL-terminated
string-length of "name".

However, it does not necessarily follow that if we have
gotten a non-zero "namelen", it is the NUL-terminated
string-length of "name". E.g., when get_sha1() is parsing
"foo:bar", we will be asked to operate only on the first
three characters.

Yet in interpret_branch_name and its helpers, we use string
functions like strchr() to operate on "name", looking past
the length we were given. This can result in us mis-parsing
object names. We should instead be limiting our search to
"namelen" bytes.

There are three distinct types of object names this patch
addresses:

- The intrepret_empty_at helper uses strchr to find the
next @-expression after our potential empty-at. In an
expression like "@:foo@bar", it erroneously thinks that
the second "@" is relevant, even if we were asked only
to look at the first character. This case is easy to
trigger (and we test it in this patch).

- When finding the initial @-mark for @{upstream}, we use
strchr. This means we might treat "foo:@{upstream}" as
the upstream for "foo:", even though we were asked only
to look at "foo". We cannot test this one in practice,
because it is masked by another bug (which is fixed in
the next patch).

- The interpret_nth_prior_checkout helper did not receive
the name length at all. This turns out not to be a
problem in practice, though, because its parsing is so
limited: it always starts from the far-left of the
string, and will not tolerate a colon (which is
currently the only way to get a smaller-than-strlen
"namelen"). However, it's still worth fixing to make the
code more obviously correct, and to future-proof us
against callers with more exotic buffers.

fetch-pack: do not filter out one-level refsJeff King Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:46:13 +0000 (05:46 -0500)

fetch-pack: do not filter out one-level refs

Currently fetching a one-level ref like "refs/foo" does not
work consistently. The outer "git fetch" program filters the
list of refs, checking each against check_refname_format.
Then it feeds the result to do_fetch_pack to actually
negotiate the haves/wants and get the pack. The fetch-pack
code does its own filter, and it behaves differently.

The fetch-pack filter looks for refs in "refs/", and then
feeds everything _after_ the slash (i.e., just "foo") into
check_refname_format. But check_refname_format is not
designed to look at a partial refname. It complains that the
ref has only one component, thinking it is at the root
(i.e., alongside "HEAD"), when in reality we just fed it a
partial refname.

As a result, we omit a ref like "refs/foo" from the pack
request, even though "git fetch" then tries to store the
resulting ref. If we happen to get the object anyway (e.g.,
because the ref is contained in another ref we are
fetching), then the fetch succeeds. But if it is a unique
object, we fail when trying to update "refs/foo".

We can fix this by just passing the whole refname into
check_refname_format; we know the part we were omitting is
"refs/", which is acceptable in a refname. This at least
makes the checks consistent with each other.

This problem happens most commonly with "refs/stash", which
is the only one-level ref in wide use. However, our test
does not use "refs/stash", as we may later want to restrict
it specifically (not because it is one-level, but because
of the semantics of stashes).

We may also want to do away with the multiple levels of
filtering (which can cause problems when they are out of
sync), or even forbid one-level refs entirely. However,
those decisions can come later; this fixes the most
immediate problem, which is the mismatch between the two.

Documentation: exclude irrelevant options from "git pull"

10eb64f5 (git pull manpage: don't include -n from fetch-options.txt,
2008-01-25) introduced a way to exclude some parts of included
source when building git-pull documentation, and later 409b8d82
(Documentation/git-pull: put verbosity options before merge/fetch
ones, 2010-02-24) attempted to use the mechanism to exclude some
parts of merge-options.txt when used from git-pull.txt.

However, the latter did not have an intended effect, because the
macro "git-pull" used to decide if the source is included in
git-pull documentation were defined a bit too late.

Define the macro before it is used to fix this.

gc: notice gc processes run by other users

Since 64a99eb4 git gc refuses to run without the --force option if
another gc process on the same repository is already running.

However, if the repository is shared and user A runs git gc on the
repository and while that gc is still running user B runs git gc on
the same repository the gc process run by user A will not be noticed
and the gc run by user B will go ahead and run.

The problem is that the kill(pid, 0) test fails with an EPERM error
since user B is not allowed to signal processes owned by user A
(unless user B is root).

Update the test to recognize an EPERM error as meaning the process
exists and another gc should not be run (unless --force is given).

This reverts commit 31b49d9b653803e7c7fd18b21c8bdd86e3421668.

That commit taught do_askpass to hand ownership of our
buffer back to the caller rather than simply return a
pointer into our internal strbuf. What it failed to notice,
though, was that our internal strbuf is static, because we
are trying to emulate the getpass() interface.

By handing off ownership, we created a memory leak that
cannot be solved. Sometimes git_prompt returns a static
buffer from getpass() (or our smarter git_terminal_prompt
wrapper), and sometimes it returns an allocated string from
do_askpass.

Remove the line length limit for graft filesJohannes Schindelin Fri, 27 Dec 2013 20:49:57 +0000 (21:49 +0100)

Remove the line length limit for graft files

Support for grafts predates Git's strbuf, and hence it is understandable
that there was a hard-coded line length limit of 1023 characters (which
was chosen a bit awkwardly, given that it is *exactly* one byte short of
aligning with the 41 bytes occupied by a commit name and the following
space or new-line character).

While regular commit histories hardly win comprehensibility in general
if they merge more than twenty-two branches in one go, it is not Git's
business to limit grafts in such a way.

In this particular developer's case, the use case that requires
substantially longer graft lines to be supported is the visualization of
the commits' order implied by their changes: commits are considered to
have an implicit relationship iff exchanging them in an interactive
rebase would result in merge conflicts.

Thusly implied branches tend to be very shallow in general, and the
resulting thicket of implied branches is usually very wide; It is
actually quite common that *most* of the commits in a topic branch have
not even one implied parent, so that a final merge commit has about as
many implied parents as there are commits in said branch.

log: properly handle decorations with chained tags

git log did not correctly handle decorations when a tag object referenced
another tag object that was no longer a ref, such as when the second tag was
deleted. The commit would not be decorated correctly because parse_object had
not been called on the second tag and therefore its tagged field had not been
filled in, resulting in none of the tags being associated with the relevant
commit.

Call parse_object to fill in this field if it is absent so that the chain of
tags can be dereferenced and the commit can be properly decorated. Include
tests as well to prevent future regressions.

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.

some places it is only the host part, at other places it may include
the port number, so change host into hostandport here.

connect.c: refactor url parsingTorsten Bögershausen Thu, 28 Nov 2013 19:50:03 +0000 (20:50 +0100)

connect.c: refactor url parsing

Make the function is_local() in transport.c public, rename it into
url_is_local_not_ssh() and use it in both transport.c and connect.c

Use a protocol "local" for URLs for the local file system.

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).

git fetch: support host:/~repoTorsten Bögershausen Thu, 28 Nov 2013 19:49:38 +0000 (20:49 +0100)

git fetch: support host:/~repo

The documentation (in urls.txt) says that

"ssh://host:/~repo",
"host:/~repo" or
"host:~repo"

specify the repository "repo" in the home directory at "host".

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.

Rename the variable "c" into "separator" to make it easier to read.

git_connect: remove artificial limit of a remote command

Since day one, function git_connect() had a limit on the command line of
the command that is invoked to make a connection. 7a33bcbe converted the
code that constructs the command to strbuf. This would have been the
right time to remove the limit, but it did not happen. Remove it now.

git_connect() uses start_command() to invoke the command; consequently,
the limits of the system still apply, but are diagnosed only at execve()
time. But these limits are more lenient than the 1K that git_connect()
imposed.

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: correctly diagnose revision errors before... Jeff King Fri, 6 Dec 2013 22:05:48 +0000 (17:05 -0500)

rev-parse: correctly diagnose revision errors before "--"

Rev-parse understands that a "--" may separate revisions and
filenames, and that anything after the "--" is taken as-is.
However, it does not understand that anything before the
token must be a revision (which is the usual rule
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
fatal: bad flag '--' used after filename

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

commit -v: strip diffs and submodule shortlogs from... Jens Lehmann Thu, 5 Dec 2013 19:44:14 +0000 (20:44 +0100)

commit -v: strip diffs and submodule shortlogs from the commit message

When using the '-v' option of "git commit" the diff added to the commit
message temporarily for editing is stripped off after the user exited the
editor by searching for "\ndiff --git " and truncating the commmit message
there if it is found.

But this approach has two problems:

- when the commit message itself contains a line starting with
"diff --git" it will be truncated there prematurely; and

- when the "diff.submodule" setting is set to "log", the diff may
start with "Submodule <hash1>..<hash2>", which will be left in
the commit message while it shouldn't.

Fix that by introducing a special scissor separator line starting with the
comment character ('#' or the core.commentChar config if set) followed by
two lines describing what it is for. The scissor line - which will not be
translated - is used to reliably detect the start of the diff so it can be
chopped off from the commit message, no matter what the user enters there.

Turn a known test failure fixed by this change into a successful test;
also add one for a diff starting with a submodule log and another one for
proper handling of the comment char.

send-email: set SSL options through IO::Socket::SSL::set_client_defaults

When --smtp-encryption=ssl, we use a Net::SMTP::SSL connection,
passing its ->new all the options that would otherwise go to
Net::SMTP->new (most options) and IO::Socket::SSL->start_SSL (for the
SSL options).

However, while Net::SMTP::SSL replaces the underlying socket class
with an SSL socket, it does nothing to allow passing options to that
socket. So the SSL-relevant options are lost.

Fortunately there is an escape hatch: we can directly set the options
with IO::Socket::SSL::set_client_defaults. They will then persist
within the IO::Socket::SSL module.

submodule: do not copy unknown update mode from .gitmodulesJunio C Hamano Mon, 2 Dec 2013 21:31:55 +0000 (13:31 -0800)

submodule: do not copy unknown update mode from .gitmodules

When submodule.$name.update is given as hint from the upstream in
the .gitmodules file, we used to blindly copy it to .git/config,
unless there already is a value defined for the submodule.

However, there is no reason to expect that the update mode hinted by
the upstream is available in the version of Git the user is using,
and a really custom "!cmd" prepared by an upstream person running on
Linux may not even be available to a user on Windows. It is simply
irresponsible to copy the setting blindly and to attempt to use it
during a later "submodule update" without validating it first.

Just show the suggested value to the diagnostic output, and set the
value to 'none' in the configuration, if it is not one of the ones
that are known to be supported by this version of Git.
