compat: helper for detecting unsigned overflow

compat: helper for detecting unsigned overflowJonathan Nieder Mon, 11 Oct 2010 02:59:26 +0000 (21:59 -0500)

compat: helper for detecting unsigned overflow

The idiom (a + b < a) works fine for detecting that an unsigned
integer has overflowed, but a more explicit

unsigned_add_overflows(a, b)

might be easier to read.

Define such a macro, expanding roughly to ((a) < UINT_MAX - (b)).
Because the expansion uses each argument only once outside of sizeof()
expressions, it is safe to use with arguments that have side effects.

fast-import: introduce "feature notes" commandJonathan Nieder Wed, 9 Feb 2011 22:43:57 +0000 (16:43 -0600)

fast-import: introduce "feature notes" command

Here is a 'feature' command for streams to use to require support for
the notemodify (N) command.

When the 'feature' facility was introduced (v1.7.0-rc0~95^2~4,
2009-12-04), the notes import feature was old news (v1.6.6-rc0~21^2~8,
2009-10-09) and it was not obvious it deserved to be a named feature.
But now that is clear, since all major non-git fast-import backends
lack support for it.

Details: on git version with this patch applied, any "feature notes"
command in the features/options section at the beginning of a stream
will be treated as a no-op. On fast-import implementations without
the feature (and older git versions), the command instead errors out
with a message like

This version of fast-import does not support feature notes.

So by declaring use of notes at the beginning of a stream, frontends
can avoid wasting time and other resources when the backend does not
support notes. (This would be especially important for backends that
do not support rewinding history after a botched import.)

fast-import: clarify documentation of "feature" command

The "feature" command allows streams to specify options for the import
that must not be ignored. Logically, they are part of the stream,
even though technically most supported features are synonyms to
command-line options.

Make this more obvious by being more explicit about how the analogy
between most "feature" commands and command-line options works. Treat
the feature (import-marks) that does not fit this analogy separately.

diff: support --cached on unborn branches

"git diff --cached" (without revision) used to mean "git diff --cached
HEAD" (i.e. the user was too lazy to type HEAD). This "correctly"
failed when there was no commit yet. But was that correctness useful?

This patch changes the definition of what particular command means.
It is a request to show what _would_ be committed without further "git
add". The internal implementation is the same "git diff --cached HEAD"
when HEAD exists, but when there is no commit yet, it compares the index
with an empty tree object to achieve the desired result.

OFS_DELTA is smaller, about 3.2%-5% smaller, and is typically faster
to access than REF_DELTA because the exact location of the delta base
is available after parsing the object header. Since all bundle aware
versions of Git are also OFS_DELTA aware, just make it the default.

rebase -i: clarify in-editor documentation of "exec"

The hints in the current "instruction sheet" template look like so:

# Rebase 3f14246..a1d7e01 onto 3f14246
#
# Commands:
# p, pick = use commit
# r, reword = use commit, but edit the commit message
# e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending
# s, squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit
# f, fixup = like "squash", but discard this commit's log message
# x <cmd>, exec <cmd> = Run a shell command <cmd>, and stop if it fails
#
# If you remove a line here THAT COMMIT WILL BE LOST.
# However, if you remove everything, the rebase will be aborted.
#

This does not make it clear that the format of each line is

<insn> <commit id> <explanatory text that will be printed>

but the reader will probably infer that from the automatically
generated pick examples above it.

What about the "exec" instruction? By analogy, I might imagine that
the format of that line is "exec <command> <explanatory text>", and
the "x <cmd>" hint does not address that question (at first I read it
as taking an argument <cmd> that is the name of a shell). Meanwhile,
the mention of <cmd> makes the hints harder to scan as a table.

So remove the <cmd> and add some words to remind the reader that
"exec" runs a command named by the rest of the line. To make room, it
is left to the manpage to explain that that command is run using
$SHELL and that nonzero status from that command will pause the
rebase.

Wording from Junio.

fast-import: treat filemodify with empty tree as delete

Normal git processes do not allow one to build a tree with an empty
subtree entry without trying hard at it. This is in keeping with the
general UI philosophy: git tracks content, not empty directories.

v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (2010-06-30) changed that by making it easy to include
an empty subtree in fast-import's active commit:

M 040000 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 subdir

One can trigger this by reading an empty tree (for example, the tree
corresponding to an empty root commit) and trying to move it to a
subtree. It is better and more closely analogous to 'git read-tree
--prefix' to treat such commands as requests to remove the subtree.

rebase: use explicit "--" with checkoutJeff King Thu, 27 Jan 2011 00:26:59 +0000 (19:26 -0500)

rebase: use explicit "--" with checkout

In the case of a ref/pathname conflict, checkout will
already do the right thing and checkout the ref. However,
for a non-existant ref, this has two advantages:

1. If a file with that pathname exists, rebase will
refresh the file from the index and then rebase the
current branch instead of producing an error.

2. If no such file exists, the error message using an
explicit "--" is better:

# before
$ git rebase -i origin bogus
error: pathspec 'bogus' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Could not checkout bogus

# after
$ git rebase -i origin bogus
fatal: invalid reference: bogus
Could not checkout bogus

The problems seem to be trigger-able only through "git
rebase -i", as regular git-rebase checks the validity of the
branch parameter as a ref very early on. However, it doesn't
hurt to be defensive.

Subject: setup: officially support --work-tree without --git-dir

The original intention of --work-tree was to allow people to work in a
subdirectory of their working tree that does not have an embedded .git
directory. Because their working tree, which their $cwd was in, did not
have an embedded .git, they needed to use $GIT_DIR to specify where it is,
and because this meant there was no way to discover where the root level
of the working tree was, so we needed to add $GIT_WORK_TREE to tell git
where it was.

However, this facility has long been (mis)used by people's scripts to
start git from a working tree _with_ an embedded .git directory, let git
find .git directory, and then pretend as if an unrelated directory were
the associated working tree of the .git directory found by the discovery
process. It happens to work in simple cases, and is not worth causing

Documentation: do not treat reset --keep as a special case

The current treatment of "git reset --keep" emphasizes how it
differs from --hard (treatment of local changes) and how it breaks
down into plumbing (git read-tree -m -u HEAD <commit> followed by git
update-ref HEAD <commit>). This can discourage people from using
it, since it might seem to be a complex or niche option.

Better to emphasize what the --keep flag is intended for --- moving
the index and worktree from one commit to another, like "git checkout"
would --- so the reader can make a more informed decision about the
appropriate situations in which to use it.

Correctly report corrupted objectsBjörn Steinbrink Thu, 20 Jan 2011 20:12:20 +0000 (21:12 +0100)

Correctly report corrupted objects

The errno check added in commit 3ba7a06 "A loose object is not corrupt
if it cannot be read due to EMFILE" only checked for whether errno is
not ENOENT and thus incorrectly treated "no error" as an error
condition.

Because of that, it never reached the code path that would report that
the object is corrupted and instead caused funny errors like:

fatal: failed to read object 333c4768ce595793fdab1ef3a036413e2a883853: Success

So we have to extend the check to cover the case in which the object
file was successfully read, but its contents are corrupted.

tests: compress the setup tests

New test helpers:

- setup_repo, to initialize a repository or gitfile pointing to a
repository, with core.bare and core.worktree set as specified;

- try_case, to run setup from a given directory and validate the
result, with GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE set as specified;

- try_repo, to initialize a repository and call "try_case" from the
toplevel and a subdirectory;

- run_wt_tests, to run a battery of tests that check for sane
behavior when GIT_WORK_TREE is set to various positions relative to
the .git dir and cwd.

Use these helpers to make the test shorter, less repetitive, and (one
hopes) easier to understand and modify.

up for other tests, to make it obvious which tests are safe to skip.
Use repeated function calls instead of a loop for the
language-specific tests, so the invocations can be easily tweaked
individually (for example if one starts to fail).

This means if you add a new subdirectory to t4034/, it will not be

userdiff: simplify word-diff safeguard

git's diff-words support has a detail that can be a little dangerous:
any text not matched by a given language's tokenization pattern is
treated as whitespace and changes in such text would go unnoticed.
Therefore each of the built-in regexes allows a special token type
consisting of a single non-whitespace character [^[:space:]].

To make sure UTF-8 sequences remain human readable, the builtin
regexes also have a special token type for runs of bytes with the high
bit set. In English, non-ASCII characters are usually isolated so
this is analogous to the [^[:space:]] pattern, except it matches a
single _multibyte_ character despite use of the C locale.

Unfortunately it is easy to make typos or forget entirely to include
these catch-all token types when adding support for new languages (see
v1.7.3.5~16, userdiff: fix typo in ruby and python word regexes,
2010-12-18). Avoid this by including them automatically within the
PATTERNS and IPATTERN macros.

While at it, change the UTF-8 sequence token type to match exactly one
non-ASCII multi-byte character, rather than an arbitrary run of them.

t4034: bulk verify builtin word regex sanity

The builtin word regexes should be tested with some simple examples
against simple issues. Do this in bulk.

Mainly due to a lack of language knowledge and inspiration, most of
the test cases (cpp, csharp, java, objc, pascal, php, python, ruby)
are directly based off a C operator precedence table to verify that
all operators are split correctly. This means that they are probably
incomplete or inaccurate except for 'cpp' itself.

Still, they are good enough to already have uncovered a typo in the
python and ruby patterns.

'fortran' is based on my anecdotal knowledge of the DO10I parsing
rules, and thus probably useless. The rest (bibtex, html, tex) are an
ad-hoc test of what I consider important splits in those languages.

fast-import: Introduce --import-marks-if-existsRamkumar Ramachandra Sat, 15 Jan 2011 06:31:46 +0000 (12:01 +0530)

fast-import: Introduce --import-marks-if-exists

When a frontend uses a marks file to ensure its state persists between
runs, it may represent "clean slate" when bootstrapping with "no marks
yet". In such a case, feeding the last state with --import-marks and
saving the state after the current run with --export-marks would be a
natural thing to do.

The --import-marks option however errors out when the specified marks file
doesn't exist; this makes bootstrapping a bit difficult. The location of
the marks file becomes backend-dependent when --relative-marks is in
effect, and the frontend cannot check for the existence of the file in
such a case.

The --import-marks-if-exists option does the same thing as --import-marks
but does not flag an error if the named file does not exist yet to help
these frontends.

unpack-trees: handle lstat failure for existing file

When check_leading_path notices a file in the way of a new entry to be
checked out, verify_absent uses (1) the mode to determine whether it
is a directory (2) the rest of the stat information to check if this
is actually an old entry, disguised by a change in filename (e.g.,
README -> Readme) that is significant to git but insignificant to the
underlying filesystem. If lstat fails, these checks are performed
with an uninitialied stat structure, producing essentially random
results.

Better to just error out when lstat fails.

The easiest way to reproduce this is to remove a file after the
check_leading_path call and before the lstat in verify_absent. An
lstat failure other than ENOENT in check_leading_path would also
trigger the same code path.

unpack-trees: handle lstat failure for existing directory

When check_leading_path notices no file in the way of the new entry to
be checked out, verify_absent checks whether there is a directory
there or nothing at all. If that lstat call fails (for example due to
ENOMEM), it assumes ENOENT, meaning a directory with untracked files
would be clobbered in that case.

Check errno after calling lstat, and for conditions other than ENOENT,
just error out.

This is a theoretical race condition. lstat has to succeed moments
before it fails for there to be trouble.

Fix expected values of setup tests on WindowsJohannes Sixt Thu, 30 Dec 2010 20:51:53 +0000 (21:51 +0100)

Fix expected values of setup tests on Windows

On Windows, bash stores absolute path names in shell variables in POSIX
format that begins with a slash, rather than in drive-letter format; such
a value is converted to the latter format when it is passed to a non-MSYS
program such as git.

When an expected test value is constructed, it must contain the value that
will be produced by git, which will be in the drive-letter format. But
TRASH_DIRECTORY is in POSIX format. Fix this by using $(pwd), which
produces drive-letter format since 4114156a (Tests on Windows: $(pwd) must
return Windows-style paths).

The change in t1510 is a straight seach-and-replace, except for the first
hunk of the diff.

docs: explain diff.*.binary option

This was added long ago as part of the userdiff refactoring
for textconv, as internally it made the code simpler and
cleaner. However, there was never a concrete use case for
actually using the config variable.

Now that Matthieu Moy has provided such a use case, it's
easy to explain it using his example.

t9010: svnadmin can fail even if availableJonathan Nieder Thu, 6 Jan 2011 18:00:51 +0000 (12:00 -0600)

t9010: svnadmin can fail even if available

If svn is built against one version of SQLite and run against another,
libsvn_subr needlessly errors out in operations that need to make a
commit.

That is clearly not a bug in git but let us consider the ramifications for
the test suite. git-svn uses libsvn directly and is probably broken by
that bug; it is right for git-svn tests to fail. The vcs-svn lib, on the
other hand, does not use libsvn and the test t9010 only uses svn to check
its work. This points to two possible improvements:

- do not disable most vcs-svn tests if svn is missing.
- skip validation rather than failing it when svn fails.

Bring about both by putting the svn invocations into a single test that
builds a repo to compare the test-svn-fe result against. The test will
always pass but only will set the new SVNREPO test prereq if svn succeeds;
and validation using that repo gets an SVNREPO prerequisite so it only
runs with working svn installations.
