bisect: fix another instance of eval'ed string

When there is nothing to be skipped, the output from
rev-list --bisect-vars was eval'ed without first being
strung together with &&; this is probably not a problem
as it is much less likely to be a bad input than the list
handcrafted by the filter_skip function, but it still is

bisect: fix quoting TRIED revs when "bad" commit is... Christian Couder Fri, 27 Feb 2009 06:31:22 +0000 (07:31 +0100)

bisect: fix quoting TRIED revs when "bad" commit is also "skip"ped

When the "bad" commit was also "skip"ped and when more than one
commit was skipped, the "filter_skipped" function would have
printed something like:

bisect_rev=<hash1>|<hash2>

(where <hash1> and <hash2> are hexadecimal sha1 hashes)

and this would have been evaled later as piping "bisect_rev=<hash1>"
into "<hash2>", which would have failed.

So this patch makes the "filter_skipped" function properly quote
what it outputs, so that it will print something like:

bisect_rev='<hash1>|<hash2>'

which will be properly evaled later. The caller was not stopping
properly because the scriptlet this function returned to be evaled
was not strung together with && and because of this, an error in
an earlier part of the output was simply ignored.

A test case is added to the test suite.

And while at it, we also initialize the VARS, FOUND and TRIED
variables, so that we protect ourselves from environment variables
the user may have with these names.

Skip timestamp differences for diff --no-indexMichael Spang Wed, 18 Feb 2009 06:48:06 +0000 (01:48 -0500)

Skip timestamp differences for diff --no-index

We display empty diffs for files whose timestamps have changed.
Usually, refreshing the index makes those empty diffs go away.
However, when not using the index they are not very useful and
there is no option to suppress them.

This forces on the skip_stat_unmatch option for diff --no-index,
suppressing any empty diffs. This option is also used for diffs
against the index when "diff.autorefreshindex" is set, but that
option does not apply to diff --no-index.

Support "\" in non-wildcard exclusion entriesFinn Arne Gangstad Tue, 10 Feb 2009 14:20:17 +0000 (15:20 +0100)

Support "\" in non-wildcard exclusion entries

"\" was treated differently in exclude rules depending on whether a
wildcard match was done. For wildcard rules, "\" was de-escaped in
fnmatch, but this was not done for other rules since they used strcmp
instead. A file named "#foo" would not be excluded by "\#foo", but would
be excluded by "\#foo*".

We now treat all rules with "\" as wildcard rules.

Another solution could be to de-escape all non-wildcard rules as we
read them, but we would have to do the de-escaping exactly as fnmatch
does it to avoid inconsistencies.

Make repack less likely to corrupt repository

Make repack less likely to corrupt repositoryJunio C Hamano Tue, 10 Feb 2009 20:16:31 +0000 (12:16 -0800)

Make repack less likely to corrupt repository

Some platforms refuse to rename a file that is open. When repacking an
already packed repository without adding any new object, the resulting
pack will contain the same set of objects as an existing pack, and on such
platforms, a newly created packfile cannot replace the existing one.

The logic detected this issue but did not try hard enough to recover from
it. Especially because the files that needs renaming come in pairs, there
potentially are different failure modes that one can be renamed but the
others cannot. Asking manual recovery to end users were error prone.

This patch tries to make it more robust by first making sure all the
existing files that need to be renamed have been renamed before
continuing, and attempts to roll back if some failed to rename.

This is based on an initial patch by Robin Rosenberg.

Clear the delta base cache if a pack is rebuilt

There is some risk that re-opening a regenerated pack file with
different offsets could leave stale entries within the delta base
cache that could be matched up against other objects using the same
"struct packed_git*" and pack offset.

Throwing away the entire delta base cache in this case is safer,
as we don't have to worry about a recycled "struct packed_git*"
matching to the wrong base object, resulting in delta apply
errors while unpacking an object.

revision traversal and pack: notice and die on missing commit

cc0e6c5 (Handle return code of parse_commit in revision machinery,
2007-05-04) attempted to tighten error checking in the revision machinery,
but it wasn't enough. When get_revision_1() was asked for the next commit
to return, it tries to read and simplify the parents of the commit to be
returned, but an error while doing so was silently ignored and reported as
a truncated history to the caller instead.

This resulted in an early end of "git log" output or a pack that lacks
older commits from "git pack-objects", without any error indication in the
exit status from these commands, even though the underlying parse_commit()
issues an error message to the end user.

Note that the codepath in add_parents_list() that paints parents of an
UNINTERESTING commit UNINTERESTING silently ignores the error when
parse_commit() fails; this is deliberate and in line with aeeae1b
(revision traversal: allow UNINTERESTING objects to be missing,
2009-01-27).

filter-branch: do not consider diverging submodules a 'dirty worktree'

At the end of filter-branch in a non-bare repository, the work tree is
updated with "read-tree -m -u HEAD", to carry the change forward in case
the current branch was rewritten. In order to avoid losing any local
change during this step, filter-branch refuses to work when there are
local changes in the work tree.

This "read-tree -m -u HEAD" operation does not affect what commit is
checked out in a submodule (iow, it does not touch .git/HEAD in a
submodule checkout), and checking if there is any local change to the
submodule is not useful.

Staged submodules _are_ considered to be 'dirty', however, as the
"read-tree -m -u HEAD" could result in loss of staged information
otherwise.

builtin-blame.c: Use utf8_strwidth for author's names

git blame misaligns output if a author's name has a differing display width and
strlen; for instance, an accented Latin letter that takes two bytes to encode
will cause the rest of the line to be shifted to the left by one. To fix this,
use utf8_strwidth instead of strlen (and compute the padding ourselves, since

builtin-remote: make rm operation safer in mirrored repository

"git remote rm <repo>" happily removes non-remote refs and their reflogs.
This may be okay if the repository truely is a mirror, but if the user
had done "git remote add --mirror <repo>" by accident and was just
undoing their mistake, then they are left in a situation that is
difficult to recover from.

After this commit, "git remote rm" skips over non-remote refs. The user
is advised on how remove branches using "git branch -d", which itself
has nice safety checks wrt to branch removal lacking from "git remote rm".
Non-remote non-branch refs are skipped silently.

filter-branch: Fix fatal error on bare repositoriesEric Kidd Tue, 3 Feb 2009 18:27:03 +0000 (13:27 -0500)

filter-branch: Fix fatal error on bare repositories

When git filter-branch is run on a bare repository, it prints out a fatal
error message:

$ git filter-branch branch
Rewrite 476c4839280c219c2317376b661d9d95c1727fc3 (9/9)
WARNING: Ref 'refs/heads/branch' is unchanged
fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree

Note that this fatal error message doesn't prevent git filter-branch from
exiting successfully. (Why doesn't git filter-branch actually exit with an
error when a shell command fails? I'm not sure why it was designed this
way.)

This error message is caused by the following section of code at the end of
git-filter-branch.sh:

if [ "$(is_bare_repository)" = false ]; then
unset GIT_DIR GIT_WORK_TREE GIT_INDEX_FILE
test -z "$ORIG_GIT_DIR" || {
GIT_DIR="$ORIG_GIT_DIR" && export GIT_DIR
}
... elided ...
git read-tree -u -m HEAD
fi

The problem is the call to $(is_bare_repository), which is made before
GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE are restored. This call always returns "false",
even when we're running in a bare repository. But this means that we will
attempt to call 'git read-tree' even in a bare repository, which will fail
and print an error.

This patch modifies git-filter-branch.sh to restore the original
environment variables before trying to call is_bare_repository.

merge: fix out-of-bounds memory access

The parameter n of unpack_callback() can have a value of up to
MAX_UNPACK_TREES. The check at the top of unpack_trees() (its only
(indirect) caller) makes sure it cannot exceed this limit.

unpack_callback() passes it and the array src to unpack_nondirectories(),
which has this loop:

for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
/* ... */
src[i + o->merge] = o->df_conflict_entry;

o->merge can be 0 or 1, so unpack_nondirectories() potentially accesses
the array src at index MAX_UNPACK_TREES. This patch makes it big enough.

git: use run_command() to execute dashed externalsJeff King Wed, 28 Jan 2009 07:38:14 +0000 (02:38 -0500)

git: use run_command() to execute dashed externals

We used to simply try calling execvp(); if it succeeded, then we were done
and the new program was running. If it didn't, then we knew that it wasn't
a valid command.

Unfortunately, this interacted badly with the new pager handling. Now that
git remains the parent process and the pager is spawned, git has to hang
around until the pager is finished. We install an atexit handler to do
this, but that handler never gets called if we successfully run execvp.

You could see this behavior by running any dashed external using a pager
(e.g., "git -p stash list"). The command finishes running, but the pager
is still going. In the case of less, it then gets an error reading from
the terminal and exits, potentially leaving the terminal in a broken state
(and not showing the output).

This patch just uses run_command() to try running the dashed external. The
parent git process then waits for the external process to complete and
then handles the pager cleanup as it would for an internal command.

run_command(): handle missing command errors more grace... Jeff King Wed, 28 Jan 2009 07:35:33 +0000 (02:35 -0500)

run_command(): handle missing command errors more gracefully

When run_command() was asked to run a non-existant command, its behavior
varied depending on the platform:

- on POSIX systems, we would fork, and then after the execvp call
failed, we could call die(), which prints a message to stderr and
exits with code 128.

- on Windows, we do a PATH lookup, realize the program isn't there, and
then return ERR_RUN_COMMAND_FORK

The goal of this patch is to make it clear to callers that the specific
error was a missing command. To do this, we will return the error code
ERR_RUN_COMMAND_EXEC, which is already defined in run-command.h, checked
for in several places, but never actually gets set.

The new behavior is:

- on POSIX systems, we exit the forked process with code 127 (the same
as the shell uses to report missing commands). The parent process
recognizes this code and returns an EXEC error. The stderr message is
silenced, since the caller may be speculatively trying to run a
command. Instead, we use trace_printf so that somebody interested in
debugging can see the error that occured.

- on Windows, we check errno, which is already set correctly by
mingw_spawnvpe, and report an EXEC error instead of a FORK error

Thus it is safe to speculatively run a command:

int r = run_command_v_opt(argv, 0);
if (r == -ERR_RUN_COMMAND_EXEC)
/* oops, it wasn't found; try something else */
else
/* we failed for some other reason, error is in r */

There is a static function called run_command which

revision traversal: allow UNINTERESTING objects to be missing

Most of the existing codepaths were meant to treat missing uninteresting
objects to be a silently ignored non-error, but there were a few places
in handle_commit() and add_parents_to_list(), which are two key functions
in the revision traversal machinery, that cared:

- When a tag refers to an object that we do not have, we barfed. We
ignore such a tag if it is painted as UNINTERESTING with this change.

- When digging deeper into the ancestry chain of a commit that is already
painted as UNINTERESTING, in order to paint its parents UNINTERESTING,
we barfed if parse_parent() for a parent commit object failed. We can
ignore such a parent commit object.

send-pack: do not send unknown object name from ".have" to pack-objects

v1.6.1 introduced ".have" extension to the protocol to allow the receiving
side to advertise objects that are reachable from refs in the repositories
it borrows from. This was meant to be used by the sending side to avoid
sending such objects; they are already available through the alternates
mechanism.

The client side implementation in v1.6.1, which was introduced with
40c155f (push: prepare sender to receive extended ref information from the
receiver, 2008-09-09) aka v1.6.1-rc1~203^2~1, were faulty in that it did
not consider the possiblity that the repository receiver borrows from
might have objects it does not know about.

This fixes it by refraining from passing missing commits to underlying
pack-objects. Revision machinery may need to be tightened further to
treat missing uninteresting objects as non-error events, but this is an
obvious and safe fix for a maintenance release that is almost good enough.

As the blob object names recorded on the index lines are usually not used
nor validated on the receiving end, this is not an issue with normal use
of the resulting patch. However, when accepting a binary patch to delete
a blob, git-apply verified that the postimage blob object name on the
index line is 0{40}, hence a patch that deletes a regular file blob that
records binary contents to create a blob with different filetype (e.g. a
symbolic link) failed to apply. "git am -3" also uses the blob object
names recorded on the index line, so it would also misbehave when
synthesizing a preimage tree.

This moves the code to generate metainfo lines around, so that two
independent sets of metainfo lines are used for the split halves.

Documentation: rework src/dst description in git push

This tries to make the description of ref matching in git push easier
to read. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, though.
