known breakage: revision range computation with clock skew

This is the absolute minimum (and reliable) reproduction recipe
to demonstrate that revision range in a history with clock skew
sometimes fails to mark UNINTERESTING commit in topologically
early parts of the history.

The history looks like this:

o---o---o---o
one four

but one has the largest timestamp. "git rev-list four..one"
fails to notice that "one" should not be emitted.

When we have known breakages, we still said "passed all N

Sane use of test_expect_failureJunio C Hamano Fri, 1 Feb 2008 09:50:53 +0000 (01:50 -0800)

Sane use of test_expect_failure

Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite
of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision. Most tests
run a series of commands that leads to the single command that
needs to be tested, like this:

test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
what is to be tested
'

And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the
point of writing tests. Your setup$N that are supposed to
succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are
trying to test. The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to
check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which
is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands.

This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to
use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is
tested, like this:

test_expect_success 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
! this command should fail
'

test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that
that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it
currently does not pass. So if git-foo command should create a
file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can
write a test like this:

test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' '
rm -f bar &&
git foo &&
test -f bar
'

This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead
of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the
outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

Use 'printf %s $x' notation in t5401

We only care about getting what should be an empty string and
sending it to a file, without a trailing LF, so the empty string
translates into a 0 byte file. Earlier when I originally wrote
these lines Mac OS X allowed the format string of printf to be
the empty string, but more recent versions appear to have been
'improved' with error messages if the format is not given.

This may cause problems if we ever wind up with changes to the hook
tests. A minor cleanup makes the test more safe on all systems,
by conforming to accepted printf conventions.

reflog-expire: Avoid creating new files in a directory inside readdir(3) loop

"git reflog expire --all" opened a directory in $GIT_DIR/logs/,
read reflog files in there readdir(3), and rewrote the file by
creating a new file and renaming it back inside the loop. This
code structure can cause the newly created file to be returned
by subsequent call to readdir(3), and fall into an infinite loop
in the worst case.

This separates the processing to two phase. Running
for_each_reflog() to find out and collect all refs, and then
iterate over them, calling expire_reflog(). This way, the
program would behave exactly the same way as if all the refs
were given by the user from the command line.

If options are aggregated, and that the whole token is an exact
prefix of a long option that is longer than 2 letters, reject
it. This is to prevent a common typo:

$ git commit -amend

to get interpreted as "commit all with message 'end'".

The typo check isn't performed if there is no aggregation,
because the stuck form is the recommended one. If we have `-o`
being a valid short option that takes an argument, and --option
a long one, then we _MUST_ accept -option as "'o' option with
argument 'ption'", which is our official recommended form.

In certain rare cases, the creation of the commit object
and update of HEAD can succeed, but then installing the
updated index will fail. This is most likely caused by a
full disk or exceeded disk quota. When this happens the
new index file will be removed, and the repository will
be left with the original now-out-of-sync index. The
user can recover with a "git reset HEAD" once the disk
space issue is resolved.

We should detect this failure and offer the user some

of msgfmt's --statistics output so we didn't show quite the same

to what msgfmt shows (at least for an en_US locale) so the make
output matches.

I noticed that the fuzzy translation count is off by one for the
current po/zh_cn.po file. Not sure why and I'm not going to try
and debug it at this time as the po2msg is strictly a fallback,
users building from source really should prefer msgfmt.

If msgfmt fails with exit code 127 that typically means the program

In such a case we can try to fallback to the Tcl based po2msg program
that we distributed with git-gui, as it does a "good enough" job.

We still don't default to po2msg.sh however as it does not perform
a lot of the sanity checks that msgfmt does, and quite a few of

Teach fast-import to honor pack.compression and pack.depth

We now use the configured pack.compression and pack.depth values
within fast-import, as like builtin-pack-objects fast-import is
generating a packfile for consumption by the Git tools.

We use the same behavior as builtin-pack-objects does for these
options, allowing core.compression to supply the default value
for pack.compression.

The default setting for pack.depth within fast-import is still 10
as users will generally repack fast-import generated packfiles by
`repack -f`. A large delta depth within the fast-import packfile
can significantly slow down such a later repack.

git-submodule: fix subcommand parser

The subcommand parser of "git submodule" made its subcommand
names reserved words. As a consequence, a command like this:

$ git submodule add init update

which is meant to add a submodule called 'init' at path 'update'
was misinterpreted as a request to invoke more than one mutually
incompatible subcommands and incorrectly rejected.

This patch fixes the issue by stopping the subcommand parsing at
the first subcommand word, to allow the sample command line
above to work as expected.

It also introduces the usual -- option disambiguator, so that a
submodule at path '-foo' can be updated with

$ git submodule update -- -foo

without triggering an "unrecognized option -foo" error.

git-gui: Consolidate hook execution code into a single function

The code we use to test if a hook is executable or not differs on
Cygwin from the normal POSIX case. Rather then repeating that for
all three hooks we call in our commit code path we can place the
common logic into a global procedure and invoke it when necessary.

This also lets us get rid of the ugly "|& cat" we were using before
as we can now rely on the Tcl 8.4 feature of "2>@1" or fallback to
the "|& cat" when necessary.

The post-commit hook is now run through the same API, but its outcome
does not influence the commit status. As a result we now show any of
the errors from the post-commit hook in a dialog window, instead of on
the user's tty that was used to launch git-gui. This resolves a long
standing bug related to not getting errors out of the post-commit hook
when launched under git-gui.

git-gui: Honor the standard commit-msg hook

Under core Git the git-commit tool will invoke the commit-msg hook
if it exists and is executable to the user running git-commit. As
a hook it has some limited value as it cannot alter the commit, but
it can modify the message the user is attempting to commit. It is
also able to examine the message to ensure it conforms to some local
standards/conventions.

Since the hook takes the name of a temporary file holding the message
as its only parameter we need to move the code that creates the temp
file up earlier in our commit code path, and then pass through that
file name to the latest stage (where we call git-commit-tree). We let
the hook alter the file as it sees fit and we don't bother to look at
its content again until the commit succeeded and we need the subject
for the reflog update.

http-push: clarify the reason of error from the initial PROPFIND request

The first thing http-push does is a PROPFIND to see if the other
end supports locking. The failure message we give is always
reported as "no DAV locking support at the remote repository",
regardless of the reason why we ended up not finding the locking
support on the other end.

This moves the code to report "no DAV locking support" down the
codepath so that the message is issued only when we successfully
get a response to PROPFIND and the other end say it does not
support locking. Other failures, such as connectivity glitches
and credential mismatches, have their own error message issued
and we will not issue "no DAV locking" error (we do not even
know if the remote end supports it).

Failing instead of silently not updating remote refs makes the things
clearer for the user when trying to push on a repository while another
person do (or while a dandling locks are waiting for a 10 minutes

When silently not updating remote refs, the user does not even know
that git has pushed the objects but leaved the refs as they were
before (e.g. a new bunch of commits on branch "master" is uploaded,
however the branch by itsel still points on the previous head commit).

http-push: fix webdav lock leak.

Releasing webdav lock even if push fails because of bad (or no)
reference on command line.

To reproduce the issue that this patch fixes, prepare a test repository
availlable over http+webdav, say at http://myhost/myrepo.git/

Then:

$ git clone http://myhost/myrepo.git/
$ cd myrepo
$ git push http
Fetching remote heads...
refs/
refs/heads/
refs/tags/
No refs in common and none specified; doing nothing.
$ git push http
Fetching remote heads...
refs/
refs/heads/
refs/tags/
No refs in common and none specified; doing nothing.
$

Finally, you look at the web server logs, and will find one LOCK query
and no UNLOCK query, of course the second one will be in 423 return
code instead of 200:

1.2.3.4 - gb [19/Jan/2008:14:24:56 +0100] "LOCK /myrepo.git/info/refs HTTP/1.1" 200 465
(...)
1.2.3.4 - gb [19/Jan/2008:14:25:10 +0100] "LOCK /myrepo.git/info/refs HTTP/1.1" 423 363

With this patch, there would have be two UNLOCKs in addition of the LOCKs

From the user's point of view:

- If you realize that you should have typed e.g. "git push http
master" instead of "git push http", you will have to wait for 10
minutes for the lock to expire by its own.

- Furthermore, if somebody else is dumb enough to type "git push http"
while you need to push "master" branch, then you'll need too to wait
for 10 minutes too.

parse_commit_buffer: tighten checks while parsingMartin Koegler Sat, 19 Jan 2008 17:35:23 +0000 (18:35 +0100)

parse_commit_buffer: tighten checks while parsing

This tightens the parsing of a commit object in a couple of ways.

- The "tree " header must end with a LF (earlier we did not
check this condition).

- Make sure parsing of timestamp on the "committer " header
does not go beyond the buffer, even when (1) the "author "
header does not end with a LF (this means that the commit
object is malformed and lacks the committer information) or
(2) the "committer " header does not have ">" that is the end
of the e-mail address, or (3) the "committer " header does
not end with a LF.

We however still keep the existing behaviour to return a parsed
commit object even when non-structural headers such as committer
and author are malformed, so that tools that need to look at
commits to clean up a history with such broken commits can still
get at the structural data (i.e. the parents chain and the tree
object).

Fix random fast-import errors when compiled with NO_MMAPShawn O. Pearce Fri, 18 Jan 2008 03:57:00 +0000 (22:57 -0500)

Fix random fast-import errors when compiled with NO_MMAP

fast-import was relying on the fact that on most systems mmap() and
write() are synchronized by the filesystem's buffer cache. We were
relying on the ability to mmap() 20 bytes beyond the current end
of the file, then later fill in those bytes with a future write()
call, then read them through the previously obtained mmap() address.

This isn't always true with some implementations of NFS, but it is
especially not true with our NO_MMAP=YesPlease build time option used
on some platforms. If fast-import was built with NO_MMAP=YesPlease
we used the malloc()+pread() emulation and the subsequent write()
call does not update the trailing 20 bytes of a previously obtained
"mmap()" (aka malloc'd) address.

Under NO_MMAP that behavior causes unpack_entry() in sha1_file.c to
be unable to read an object header (or data) that has been unlucky
enough to be written to the packfile at a location such that it
is in the trailing 20 bytes of a window previously opened on that
same packfile.

This bug has gone unnoticed for a very long time as it is highly data
dependent. Not only does the object have to be placed at the right
position, but it also needs to be positioned behind some other object
that has been accessed due to a branch cache invalidation. In other
words the stars had to align just right, and if you did run into
this bug you probably should also have purchased a lottery ticket.

Fortunately the workaround is a lot easier than the bug explanation.

Before we allow unpack_entry() to read data from a pack window
that has also (possibly) been modified through write() we force
all existing windows on that packfile to be closed. By closing
the windows we ensure that any new access via the emulated mmap()
will reread the packfile, updating to the current file content.

This comes at a slight performance degredation as we cannot reuse
previously cached windows when we update the packfile. But it
is a fairly minor difference as the window closes happen at only
two points:

- When the packfile is finalized and its .idx is generated:

At this stage we are getting ready to update the refs and any
data access into the packfile is going to be random, and is
going after only the branch tips (to ensure they are valid).
Our existing windows (if any) are not likely to be positioned
at useful locations to access those final tip commits so we
probably were closing them before anyway.

- When the branch cache missed and we need to reload:

At this point fast-import is getting change commands for the next
commit and it needs to go re-read a tree object it previously
had written out to the packfile. What windows we had (if any)
are not likely to cover the tree in question so we probably were
closing them before anyway.

We do try to avoid unnecessarily closing windows in the second case
by checking to see if the packfile size has increased since the
last time we called unpack_entry() on that packfile. If the size
has not changed then we have not written additional data, and any
existing window is still vaild. This nicely handles the cases where
fast-import is going through a branch cache reload and needs to read
many trees at once. During such an event we are not likely to be
updating the packfile so we do not cycle the windows between reads.

With this change in place t9301-fast-export.sh (which was broken
by c3b0dec509fe136c5417422f31898b5a4e2d5e02) finally works again.

The lockfile API is a handy way to obtain a file that is cleaned
up if you die(). But sometimes you would need this sequence to
work:

1. hold_lock_file_for_update() to get a file descriptor for
writing;

2. write the contents out, without being able to decide if the
results should be committed or rolled back;

3. do something else that makes the decision --- and this
"something else" needs the lockfile not to have an open file
descriptor for writing (e.g. Windows do not want a open file
to be renamed);

4. call commit_lock_file() or rollback_lock_file() as
appropriately.

This adds close_lock_file() you can call between step 2 and 3 in
the above sequence.

We have nice set of placeholders, but nobody stepped in to fill

Be more careful about updating refsLinus Torvalds Tue, 15 Jan 2008 23:50:17 +0000 (15:50 -0800)

Be more careful about updating refs

This makes write_ref_sha1() more careful: it actually checks the SHA1 of
the ref it is updating, and refuses to update a ref with an object that it
cannot find.

Perhaps more importantly, it also refuses to update a branch head with a
non-commit object. I don't quite know *how* the stable series maintainers
were able to corrupt their repository to have a HEAD that pointed to a tag
rather than a commit object, but they did. Which results in a totally
broken repository that cannot be cloned or committed on.

So make it harder for people to shoot themselves in the foot like that.

The test t1400-update-ref.sh is fixed at the same time, as it
assumed that the commands involved in the particular test would
not care about corrupted repositories whose refs point at
nonexistant bogus objects. That assumption does not hold true
anymore.

Since having non-commits in branches is a no-no, and just means you cannot

Make builtin-commit.c more careful about parenthood

When creating the commit object, be a whole lot more careful about making
sure that the parent lines really are valid parent lines. Check things
like MERGE_HEAD having proper SHA1 lines in it, and double-check that all
the parents exist and are actually commits.

treat any file with NUL as binaryDmitry Potapov Wed, 16 Jan 2008 01:59:12 +0000 (04:59 +0300)

treat any file with NUL as binary

There are two heuristics in Git to detect whether a file is binary
or text. One in xdiff-interface.c (which is taken from GNU diff)
relies on existence of the NUL byte at the beginning. However,
convert.c used a different heuristic, which relied on the percent
of non-printable symbols (less than 1% for text files).

Due to differences in detection whether a file is binary or not,
it was possible that a file that diff treats as binary could be
treated as text by CRLF conversion. This is very confusing for a
user who sees that 'git diff' shows the file as binary expects it
to be added as binary.

This patch makes is_binary to consider any file that contains at
least one NUL character as binary, to ensure that the heuristics
used for CRLF conversion is tighter than what is used by diff.

git-gui: Refresh file status description after hunk... Shawn O. Pearce Wed, 16 Jan 2008 06:29:39 +0000 (01:29 -0500)

git-gui: Refresh file status description after hunk application

If we apply a hunk in either direction this may change the file's
status. For example if a file is completely unstaged, and has at
least two hunks in it and the user stages one hunk the file will
change from "Modified, not staged" to "Portions staged for commit".

Resetting the file path causes our trace on this variable to fire;
that trace is used to update the file header in the diff viewer to
the file's current status.

Noticed by Johannes Sixt.

git-gui: Allow 'Create New Repository' on existing... Shawn O. Pearce Wed, 16 Jan 2008 06:14:42 +0000 (01:14 -0500)

git-gui: Allow 'Create New Repository' on existing directories

Often users setup a few source files and get a project rolling
before they create a Git repository for it. In such cases the
core Git tools allow users to initialize a new repository by
simply running `git init` at the desired root level directory.

We need to allow the same situation in git-gui; if the user is
trying to make a new repository we should let them do that to any
location they chose. If the directory already exists and already
has files contained within it we still should allow the user to
create a repository there. However we still need to disallow
creating a repository on top of an existing repository.

git-gui: Initial french translation

Here are some of the choices made to translate Git Gui to french:

- commit -> "commit" (noun) or "commiter" (verb)
- stage (index) -> "pré-commit" (noun) or "pré-commiter" (verb)
- (re)scan -> "(re)synchroniser"
- reset -> "réinitialiser"
- checkout -> "emprunt" (noun) or "emprunter" (verb)
- revision expression -> "expression de révison"

I am not completely happy with these, but it's a start...
