t4014: clean up format.thread config after each test

The threading tests turn on format.thread, but never clean
up after themselves, meaning that later tests will also have
format.thread set.

This is more annoying than most leftover config, too,
because not only does it impact the results of other tests,
but it does so non-deterministically. Threading requires the
generation of message-ids, which incorporate the current
time, meaning a slow-running test script may generate
different results from run to run.

Teach progress eye-candy to fetch_refs_from_bundle()Junio C Hamano Sun, 18 Sep 2011 23:52:32 +0000 (16:52 -0700)

Teach progress eye-candy to fetch_refs_from_bundle()

With the usual "git" transport, a large-ish transfer with "git fetch" and
"git pull" give progress eye-candy to avoid boring users. However, not
when they are reading from a bundle. I.e.

$ git pull ../git-bundle.bndl master

This teaches bundle.c:unbundle() to give "-v" option to index-pack and
tell it to give progress bar when transport decides it is necessary.

The operation in the other direction, "git bundle create", could also
learn to honor --quiet but that is a separate issue.

Accept tags in HEAD or MERGE_HEADNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Sat, 17 Sep 2011 11:57:45 +0000 (21:57 +1000)

Accept tags in HEAD or MERGE_HEAD

HEAD and MERGE_HEAD (among other branch tips) should never hold a
tag. That can only be caused by broken tools and is cumbersome to fix
by an end user with:

$ git update-ref HEAD $(git rev-parse HEAD^{commit})

which may look like a magic to a new person.

Be easy, warn users (so broken tools can be fixed if they bother to
report) and move on.

Be robust, if the given SHA-1 cannot be resolved to a commit object,
die (therefore return value is always valid).

resolve_ref() only updates "head" when it returns non NULL value (it

Because "head" is not initialized before the call, is_null_sha1() is
not enough. Check also resolve_ref() return value.

branch --set-upstream: regression fixJunio C Hamano Fri, 16 Sep 2011 23:28:38 +0000 (16:28 -0700)

branch --set-upstream: regression fix

The "git branch" command, while not in listing mode, calls create_branch()
even when the target branch already exists, and it does so even when it is
not interested in updating the value of the branch (i.e. the name of the
commit object that sits at the tip of the existing branch). This happens
when the command is run with "--set-upstream" option.

The earlier safety-measure to prevent "git branch -f $branch $commit" from
updating the currently checked out branch did not take it into account,
and we no longer can update the tracking information of the current branch.

Minimally fix this regression by telling the validation code if it is
called to really update the value of a potentially existing branch, or if
the caller merely is interested in updating auxiliary aspects of a branch.

gitweb: Strip non-printable characters from syntax... Jakub Narebski Fri, 16 Sep 2011 12:41:57 +0000 (14:41 +0200)

gitweb: Strip non-printable characters from syntax highlighter output

The current code, as is, passes control characters, such as form-feed
(^L) to highlight which then passes it through to the browser. User
agents (web browsers) that support 'application/xhtml+xml' usually
require that web pages declared as XHTML and with this mimetype are
well-formed XML. Unescaped control characters cannot appear within a
contents of a valid XML document.

This will cause the browser to display one of the following warnings:

* Safari v5.1 (6534.50) & Google Chrome v13.0.782.112:

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 657 at column 38: PCDATA invalid Char value 12
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

* Mozilla Firefox 3.6.19 & Mozilla Firefox 5.0:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location:
http://path/to/git/repo/blah/blah

Both errors were generated by gitweb.perl v1.7.3.4 w/ highlight 2.7
using arch/ia64/kernel/unwind.c from the Linux kernel.

When syntax highlighter is not used, control characters are replaced
by esc_html(), but with syntax highlighter they were passed through to
browser (to_utf8() doesn't remove control characters).

Introduce sanitize() subroutine which strips forbidden characters, but
does not perform HTML escaping, and use it in git_blob() to sanitize
syntax highlighter output for XHTML.

Note that excluding "\t" (U+0009), "\n" (U+000A) and "\r" (U+000D) is
not strictly necessary, atleast for currently the only callsite: "\t"
tabs are replaced by spaces by untabify(), "\n" is stripped from each
line before processing it, and replacing "\r" could be considered
improvement.

This is similar to sq_dequote_to_argv, but more convenient

but:

1. It wouldn't maintain the NULL-termination invariant
of argv_array.

2. It doesn't match the memory ownership policy of

refactor argv_array into generic codeJeff King Tue, 13 Sep 2011 21:57:57 +0000 (17:57 -0400)

refactor argv_array into generic code

The submodule code recently grew generic code to build a
dynamic argv array. Many other parts of the code can reuse
this, too, so let's make it generically available.

There are two enhancements not found in the original code:

1. We now handle the NULL-termination invariant properly,
even when no strings have been pushed (before, you
could have an empty, NULL argv). This was not a problem
for the submodule code, which always pushed at least
one argument, but was not sufficiently safe for
generic code.

2. There is a formatted variant of the "push" function.
This is a convenience function which was not needed by
the submodule code, but will make it easier to port
other users to the new code.

git-svn: teach git-svn to populate svn:mergeinfo

Allow git-svn to populate the svn:mergeinfo property automatically in
a narrow range of circumstances. Specifically, when dcommitting a
revision with multiple parents, all but (potentially) the first of
which have been committed to SVN in the same repository as the target
of the dcommit.

In this case, the merge info is the union of that given by each of the
parents, plus all changes introduced to the first parent by the other
parents.

In all other cases where a revision to be committed has multiple
parents, cause "git svn dcommit" to raise an error rather than
completing the commit and potentially losing history information in
the upstream SVN repository.

This behavior is disabled by default, and can be enabled by setting
the svn.pushmergeinfo config option.

fetch: avoid quadratic loop checking for updated submodulesJeff King Mon, 12 Sep 2011 19:56:52 +0000 (15:56 -0400)

fetch: avoid quadratic loop checking for updated submodules

Recent versions of git can be slow to fetch repositories with a
large number of refs (or when they already have a large
number of refs). For example, GitHub makes pull-requests
available as refs, which can lead to a large number of
available refs. This slowness goes away when submodule
recursion is turned off:

$ git ls-remote git://github.com/rails/rails.git | wc -l
3034

[this takes ~10 seconds of CPU time to complete]
git fetch --recurse-submodules=no \
git://github.com/rails/rails.git "refs/*:refs/*"

[this still isn't done after 10 _minutes_ of pegging the CPU]
git fetch \
git://github.com/rails/rails.git "refs/*:refs/*"

You can produce a quicker and simpler test case like this:

doit() {
head=`git rev-parse HEAD`
for i in `seq 1 $1`; do
echo $head refs/heads/ref$i
done >.git/packed-refs
echo "==> $1"
rm -rf dest
git init -q --bare dest &&
(cd dest && time git.compile fetch -q .. refs/*:refs/*)
}

rm -rf repo
git init -q repo && cd repo &&
>file && git add file && git commit -q -m one

doit 100
doit 200
doit 400
doit 800
doit 1600
doit 3200

Which yields timings like:

# refs seconds of CPU
100 0.06
200 0.24
400 0.95
800 3.39
1600 13.66
3200 54.09

Notice that although the number of refs doubles in each
trial, the CPU time spent quadruples.

The problem is that the submodule recursion code works
something like:

- for each ref we fetch
- for each commit in git rev-list $new_sha1 --not --all
- add modified submodules to list
- fetch any newly referenced submodules

But that means if we fetch N refs, we start N revision
walks. Worse, because we use "--all", the number of refs we
must process that constitute "--all" keeps growing, too. And
you end up doing O(N^2) ref resolutions.

Instead, this patch structures the code like this:

- for each sha1 we already have
- add $old_sha1 to list $old
- for each ref we fetch
- add $new_sha1 to list $new
- for each commit in git rev-list $new --not $old
- add modified submodules to list
- fetch any newly referenced submodules

This yields timings like:

# refs seconds of CPU
100 0.00
200 0.04
400 0.04
800 0.10
1600 0.21
3200 0.39

Note that the amount of effort doubles as the number of refs
doubles. Similarly, the fetch of rails.git takes about as
much time as it does with --recurse-submodules=no.

remote: only update remote-tracking branch if updating refspec

'git remote rename' will only update the remote's fetch refspec if it
looks like a default one. If the remote has no default fetch refspec,
as in

[remote "origin"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*

we would not update the fetch refspec and even if there is a ref
called "refs/remotes/origin/master", we should not rename it, since it
was not created by fetching from the remote.

remote rename: warn when refspec was not updated

When renaming a remote, we also try to update the fetch refspec
accordingly, but only if it has the default format. For others, such
as refs/heads/master:refs/heads/origin, we are conservative and leave
it untouched. Let's give the user a warning about refspecs that are
not updated, so he can manually update the config if necessary.

remote: "rename o foo" should not rename ref "origin/bar"

When renaming a remote called 'o' using 'git remote rename o foo', git
should also rename any remote-tracking branches for the remote. This
does happen, but any remote-tracking branches starting with
'refs/remotes/o', such as 'refs/remotes/origin/bar', will also be
renamed (to 'refs/remotes/foorigin/bar' in this case).

Fix it by simply matching one more character, up to the slash
following the remote name.

remote: write correct fetch spec when renaming remote 'remote'

When renaming a remote whose name is contained in a configured fetch
refspec for that remote, we currently replace the first occurrence of
the remote name in the refspec. This is correct in most cases, but
breaks if the remote name occurs in the fetch refspec before the
expected place. For example, we currently change

[remote "remote"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/remote/*

into

[remote "origin"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/origins/remote/*

Reduce the risk of changing incorrect sections of the refspec by
matching the entire ":refs/remotes/<name>/" instead of just "<name>".

fsck: do not abort upon finding an empty blob

Asking fwrite() to write one item of size bytes results in fwrite()
reporting "I wrote zero item", when size is zero. Instead, we could
ask it to write "size" items of 1 byte and expect it to report that
"I wrote size items" when it succeeds, with any value of size,
including zero.

fetch: skip on-demand checking when no submodules are configured

It makes no sense to do the - possibly very expensive - call to "rev-list
<new-ref-sha1> --not --all" in check_for_new_submodule_commits() when
there aren't any submodules configured.

Leave check_for_new_submodule_commits() early when no name <-> path
mappings for submodules are found in the configuration. To make that work
reading the configuration had to be moved further up in cmd_fetch(), as
doing that after the actual fetch of the superproject was too late.

When running large git grep (ie: git grep regexp $(git rev-list --all)), glibc error sometimes occur:

According to gdb the problem originate from release_delta_cash (sha1_file.c:1703)

>From my analysis it seems that git grep threads do acquire lock before calling read_sha1_file but not before calling
read_object_with_reference who ends up calling read_sha1_file too.

Adding the lock around read_object_with_reference seems to fix the issue for me.

'git log -- <path>' does not "show commits that affect the specified
paths" in a literal sense unless --full-history is given (for example,
a file that only existed on a side branch will turn up no commits at
all!).

Reword it to specify the actual intent of the filtering, and point to
the "History Simplification" section.

Documentation/remote-helpers: explain capabilities first

The current remote helper documentation is from the perspective of
git, so to speak: it presents a full menu of commands for a person
invoking a remote helper to choose from. In practice, that's less
useful than it could be, since the daunted novice remote-helper author
probably just wanted a list of commands needs to implement to get
started. So preface the command list with an overview of each
capability, its purpose, and what commands it requires.

As a side effect, this makes it a little clearer that git doesn't
choose arbitrary commands to run, even if the remote helper advertises
all capabilities --- instead, there are well defined command sequences
for various tasks.

strbuf_grow(): maintain nul-termination even for new... Thomas Rast Mon, 29 Aug 2011 21:16:12 +0000 (23:16 +0200)

strbuf_grow(): maintain nul-termination even for new buffer

In the case where sb is initialized to the slopbuf (through
strbuf_init(sb,0) or STRBUF_INIT), strbuf_grow() loses the terminating
nul: it grows the buffer, but gives ALLOC_GROW a NULL source to avoid
it being freed. So ALLOC_GROW does not copy anything to the new
memory area.

This subtly broke the call to strbuf_getline in read_next_command()
[fast-import.c:1855], which goes

strbuf_detach(&command_buf, NULL); # command_buf is now = STRBUF_INIT
stdin_eof = strbuf_getline(&command_buf, stdin, '\n');
if (stdin_eof)
return EOF;

In strbuf_getwholeline, this did

strbuf_grow(sb, 0); # loses nul-termination
if (feof(fp))
return EOF;
strbuf_reset(sb); # this would have nul-terminated!

Valgrind found this because fast-import subsequently uses prefixcmp()
on command_buf.buf, which after the EOF exit contains only
uninitialized memory.

Arguably strbuf_getwholeline is also broken, in that it touches the
buffer before deciding whether to do any work. However, it seems more
futureproof to not let the strbuf API lose the nul-termination by its
own fault.

So make sure that strbuf_grow() puts in a nul even if it has nowhere
to copy it from. This makes strbuf_grow(sb, 0) a semantic no-op as
far as readers of the buffer are concerned.

Also remove the nul-termination added by strbuf_init, which is made
redudant.

Document negated forms of format-patch --to --cc --add-headers

The negated forms introduced in c426003 (format-patch: add --no-cc,
--no-to, and --no-add-headers, 2010-03-07) were not documented
anywhere. Add them to the descriptions of the positive forms.

t4014: "no-add-headers" is actually called "no-add-header"

Since c426003 (format-patch: add --no-cc, --no-to, and
--no-add-headers, 2010-03-07) the tests have checked for an option
called --no-add-headers introduced by letting the user negate
--add-header.

However, the parseopt machinery does not automatically pluralize
anything, so it is in fact called --no-add-header.

Since the option never worked, is not documented anywhere, and
implementing an actual --no-add-headers would lead to silly code
complications, we just adapt the test to the code.
