d95138e6 (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when work tree is set, like
$GIT_DIR, 2015-06-26) attempted to work around a glitch in alias

init_notes() is the main point of entry to the notes API. It ensures
that the input can be used as ref, because it needs a ref to update to
store notes tree after modifying it.
There however are many use cases where notes tree is only read, e.g.
"git log --notes=...". Any notes-shaped treeish could be used for such
purpose, but it is not allowed due to existing restriction.
Allow treeish expressions to be used in the case the notes tree is going
to be used without write "permissions". Add a flag to distinguish
whether the notes tree is intended to be used read-only, or will be
updated.
With this change, operations that use notes read-only can be fed any
notes-shaped tree-ish can be used, e.g. git log --notes=notes@{1}.

The byte-swapping code automatically decides, based on the

unaligned ntohl(), or to pick individual bytes out of an

It can be handy to override this decision, though, when
turning on compiler flags that will complain about unaligned
loads (such as -fsanitize=undefined). This patch adds a
macro check to make this possible.
There's no nice Makefile knob here; this is for prodding at

We sometimes use 32-bit unsigned integers as bit-fields.
It's fine to access the MSB, because it's unsigned. However,
doing so as "1 << 31" is wrong, because the constant "1" is

When git executes a sub-command, we print a warning if the
command dies due to a signal, but make an exception for
"uninteresting" cases like SIGINT and SIGQUIT (since the
user presumably just hit ^C).
We should make a similar exception for SIGPIPE, because it's
an expected and uninteresting return in most cases; it
generally means the user quit the pager before git had
finished generating all output. This used to be very hard
to trigger in practice, because:
1. We only complain if we see a real SIGPIPE death, not
the shell-induced 141 exit code. This means that
anything we run via the shell does not trigger the
warning, which includes most non-trivial aliases.
2. The common case for SIGPIPE is the user quitting the
pager before git has finished generating all output.
But if the user triggers a pager with "-p", we redirect
the git wrapper's stderr to that pager, too. Since the
pager is dead, it means that the message goes nowhere.
3. You can see it if you run your own pager, like
"git foo | head". But that only happens if "foo" is a
non-builtin (so it doesn't work with "log", for
example).
However, it may become more common after 86d26f2, which
teaches alias to re-exec builtins rather than running them
in the same process. This case doesn't trigger (1), as we
don't need a shell to run a git command. It doesn't trigger
(2), because the pager is not started by the original git,
but by the inner re-exec of git. And it doesn't trigger (3),
because builtins are treated more like non-builtins in this
case.
Given how flaky this message already is (e.g., you cannot
even know whether you will see it, as git optimizes out some
shell invocations behind the scenes based on the contents of
the command!), and that it is unlikely to ever provide
useful information, let's suppress it for all cases of
SIGPIPE.

git.c: make sure we do not leak GIT_* to alias scripts
The unfortunate commit d95138e (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when
work tree is set, like $GIT_DIR - 2015-06-26) exposes another problem,
besides git-clone that's described in the previous commit. If
GIT_WORK_TREE (or even GIT_DIR) is exported to an alias script, it may
mislead git commands in the script where the repo is. Granted, most
scripts work on the repo where the alias is summoned from. But nowhere
do we forbid the script to visit another repository.
The revert of d95138e in the previous commit is sufficient as a
fix. However, to protect us from accidentally leaking GIT_*
environment variables again, we restore certain sensitive env before
calling the external script.
GIT_PREFIX is let through because there's another setup side effect
that we simply accepted so far: current working directory is
moved. Maybe in future we can introduce a new alias format that
guarantees no cwd move, then we can unexport GIT_PREFIX.

setup.c: re-fix d95138e (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when ..
Commit d95138e [1] attempted to fix a .git file problem by
setting GIT_WORK_TREE whenever GIT_DIR is set. It sounded harmless
because we handle GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE side by side for most
commands, with two exceptions: git-init and git-clone.
"git clone" is not happy with d95138e. This command ignores GIT_DIR
but respects GIT_WORK_TREE [2] [3] which means it used to run fine
from a hook, where GIT_DIR was set but GIT_WORK_TREE was not (*).
With d95138e, GIT_WORK_TREE is set all the time and git-clone
interprets that as "I give you order to put the worktree here",
usually against the user's intention.
The solution in d95138e is reverted earlier, and instead we reuse
the solution from c056261 [4]. It fixed another setup-messed-
up-by-alias by saving and restoring env and spawning a new process,
but for git-clone and git-init only.
Now we conclude that setup-messed-up-by-alias is always evil. So the
env restoration is done for _all_ commands, including external ones,
whenever aliases are involved. It fixes what d95138e tried to fix,
without upsetting git-clone-inside-hooks.
The test from d95138e remains to verify it's not broken by this. A new
test is added to make sure git-clone-inside-hooks remains happy.
(*) GIT_WORK_TREE was not set _most of the time_. In some cases
GIT_WORK_TREE is set and git-clone will behave differently. The
use of GIT_WORK_TREE to direct git-clone to put work tree
elsewhere looks like a mistake because it causes surprises this
way. But that's a separate story.

pack-revindex: store entries directly in packed_git
A pack_revindex struct has two elements: the revindex
entries themselves, and a pointer to the packed_git. We need
both to do lookups, because only the latter knows things
like the number of objects in the pack.
Now that packed_git contains the pack_revindex struct it's
just as easy to pass around the packed_git itself, and we do
not need the extra back-pointer.
We can instead just store the entries directly in the pack.
All functions which took a pack_revindex now just take a
packed_git. We still lazy-load in find_pack_revindex, so
most callers are unaffected.
The exception is the bitmap code, which computes the
revindex and caches the pointer when we load the bitmaps. We
can continue to load, drop the extra cache pointer, and just
access bitmap_git.pack.revindex directly.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The main entry point to the pack-revindex code is
find_pack_revindex(). This calls revindex_for_pack(), which
lazily computes and caches the revindex for the pack.
We store the cache in a very simple hash table. It's created
by init_pack_revindex(), which inserts an entry for every
packfile we know about, and we never grow or shrink the
hash. If we ever need the revindex for a pack that isn't in
the hash, we die() with an internal error.
This can lead to a race, because we may load more packs
after having called init_pack_revindex(). For example,
imagine we have one process which needs to look at the
revindex for a variety of objects (e.g., cat-file's
"%(objectsize:disk)" format). Simultaneously, git-gc is
running, which is doing a `git repack -ad`. We might hit a
sequence like:
1. We need the revidx for some packed object. We call
find_pack_revindex() and end up in init_pack_revindex()
to create the hash table for all packs we know about.
2. We look up another object and can't find it, because
the repack has removed the pack it's in. We re-scan the
pack directory and find a new pack containing the
object. It gets added to our packed_git list.
3. We call find_pack_revindex() for the new object, which
hits revindex_for_pack() for our new pack. It can't
find the packed_git in the revindex hash, and dies.
You could also replace the `repack` above with a push or
fetch to create a new pack, though these are less likely
(you would have to somehow learn about the new objects to
look them up).
Prior to 1a6d8b9 (do not discard revindex when re-preparing
packfiles, 2014-01-15), this was safe, as we threw away the
revindex whenever we re-scanned the pack directory (and thus
re-created the revindex hash on the fly). However, we don't
want to simply revert that commit, as it was solving a
different race.
So we have a few options:
- We can fix the race in 1a6d8b9 differently, by having
the bitmap code look in the revindex hash instead of
caching the pointer. But this would introduce a lot of
extra hash lookups for common bitmap operations.
- We could teach the revindex to dynamically add new packs
to the hash table. This would perform the same, but
would mean adding extra code to the revindex hash (which
currently cannot be resized at all).
- We can get rid of the hash table entirely. There is
exactly one revindex per pack, so we can just store it
in the packed_git struct. Since it's initialized lazily,
it does not add to the startup cost.
This is the best of both worlds: less code and fewer
hash table lookups. The original code likely avoided
this in the name of encapsulation. But the packed_git
and reverse_index code are fairly intimate already, so
it's not much of a loss.
This patch implements the final option. It's a minimal
conversion that retains the pack_revindex struct. No callers
need to change, and we can do further cleanup in a follow-on
patch.

On Windows, when writing to a pipe fails, errno is always
EINVAL. However, Git expects it to be EPIPE.
According to the documentation, there are two cases in which write()
triggers EINVAL: the buffer is NULL, or the length is odd but the mode
is 16-bit Unicode (the broken pipe is not mentioned as possible cause).
Git never sets the file mode to anything but binary, therefore we know
that errno should actually be EPIPE if it is EINVAL and the buffer is
not NULL.

revision.c: propagate tag names from pending array
When we unwrap a tag to find its commit for a traversal, we
do not propagate the "name" field of the tag in the pending
array (i.e., the ref name the user gave us in the first
place) to the commit (instead, we use an empty string). This
means that "git log --source" will never show the tag-name
for commits we reach through it.
This was broken in 2073949 (traverse_commit_list: support
pending blobs/trees with paths, 2014-10-15). That commit
tried to be careful and avoid propagating the path
information for a tag (which would be nonsensical) to trees
and blobs. But it should not have cut off the "name" field,
which should carry forward to children.
Note that this does mean that the "name" field will carry
forward to blobs and trees, too. Whereas prior to 2073949,
we always gave them an empty string. This is the right thing
to do, but in practice no callers probably use it (since now
we have an explicit separate "path" field, which was the
point of 2073949).
We add tests here not only for the broken case, but also a
basic sanity test of "log --source" in general, which did
not have any coverage in the test suite.

fetch_populated_submodules: use new parallel job processing

run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor
This allows to run external commands in parallel with ordered output
on stderr.
If we run external commands in parallel we cannot pipe the output directly
to the our stdout/err as it would mix up. So each process's output will
flow through a pipe, which we buffer. One subprocess can be directly
piped to out stdout/err for a low latency feedback to the user.
Example:
Let's assume we have 5 submodules A,B,C,D,E and each fetch takes a
different amount of time as the different submodules vary in size, then
the output of fetches in sequential order might look like this:
time -->
output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-|
When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes,
a schedule and sample output over time may look like this:
process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-|
process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------|
output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE
So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child
version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole
progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no
time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and
its progress will be reported in real time.
So this way of output is really good for human consumption, as it only
changes the timing, not the actual output.
For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks,
by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks
output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the
original sequential ordering:
|----A----| |--B--| |-C-|
will be scheduled to be all parallel:
process 1: |----A----|
process 2: |--B--|
process 3: |-C-|
output: |----A----|CB
This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for
output before B.
To detect when a child has finished executing, we check interleaved
with other actions (such as checking the liveliness of children or
starting new processes) whether the stderr pipe still exists. Once a
child closed its stderr stream, we assume it is terminating very soon,
and use `finish_command()` from the single external process execution
interface to collect the exit status.
By maintaining the strong assumption of stderr being open until the
very end of a child process, we can avoid other hassle such as an
implementation using `waitpid(-1)`, which is not implemented in Windows.

If we get an EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK the fd must have set O_NONBLOCK.
As the intent of xread is to read as much as possible either until the
fd is EOF or an actual error occurs, we can ease the feeder of the fd
by not spinning the whole time, but rather wait for it politely by not
busy waiting.
We should not care if the call to poll failed, as we're in an infinite
loop and can only get out with the correct read().

submodule.c: write "Fetching submodule <foo>" to stderr
The "Pushing submodule <foo>" progress output correctly goes to
stderr, but "Fetching submodule <foo>" is going to stdout by
mistake. Fix it to write to stderr.
Noticed while trying to implement a parallel submodule fetch. When
this particular output line went to a different file descriptor, it
was buffered separately, resulting in wrongly interleaved output if
we copied it to the terminal naively.
