sha1_name: implement @{push} shorthandJeff King Thu, 21 May 2015 04:45:47 +0000 (00:45 -0400)

sha1_name: implement @{push} shorthand

In a triangular workflow, each branch may have two distinct
points of interest: the @{upstream} that you normally pull
from, and the destination that you normally push to. There
isn't a shorthand for the latter, but it's useful to have.

For instance, you may want to know which commits you haven't
pushed yet:

git log @{push}..

Or as a more complicated example, imagine that you normally
pull changes from origin/master (which you set as your
@{upstream}), and push changes to your own personal fork
(e.g., as myfork/topic). You may push to your fork from
multiple machines, requiring you to integrate the changes
from the push destination, rather than upstream. With this
patch, you can just do:

git rebase @{push}

rather than typing out the full name.

The heavy lifting is all done by branch_get_push; here we
just wire it up to the "@{push}" syntax.

Now that most of the logic for our local get_upstream_branch

Furthermore, what remains is generic to any branch-related
"@{foo}" we might add in the future, and there's enough

remote.c: add branch_get_pushJeff King Thu, 21 May 2015 04:45:36 +0000 (00:45 -0400)

remote.c: add branch_get_push

In a triangular workflow, the place you pull from and the
place you push to may be different. As we have
branch_get_upstream for the former, this patch adds
branch_get_push for the latter (and as the former implements
@{upstream}, so will this implement @{push} in a future
patch).

Note that the memory-handling for the return value bears
some explanation. Some code paths require allocating a new
string, and some let us return an existing string. We should
provide a consistent interface to the caller, so it knows
whether to free the result or not.

We could do so by xstrdup-ing any existing strings, and
having the caller always free. But that makes us
inconsistent with branch_get_upstream, so we would prefer to
simply take ownership of the resulting string. We do so by
storing it inside the "struct branch", just as we do with
the upstream refname (in that case we compute it when the
branch is created, but there's no reason not to just fill
it in lazily in this case).

remote.c: return upstream name from stat_tracking_infoJeff King Fri, 22 May 2015 00:49:11 +0000 (20:49 -0400)

remote.c: return upstream name from stat_tracking_info

After calling stat_tracking_info, callers often want to
print the name of the upstream branch (in addition to the
tracking count). To do this, they have to access
branch->merge->dst[0] themselves. This is not wrong, as the
return value from stat_tracking_info tells us whether we
have an upstream branch or not. But it is a bit leaky, as we
make an assumption about how it calculated the upstream
name.

Instead, let's add an out-parameter that lets the caller
know the upstream name we found.

As a bonus, we can get rid of the unusual tri-state return
from the function. We no longer need to use it to
differentiate between "no tracking config" and "tracking ref
does not exist" (since you can check the upstream_name for
that), so we can just use the usual 0/-1 convention for
success/error.

remote.c: untangle error logic in branch_get_upstream

The error-diagnosis logic in branch_get_upstream was copied
straight from sha1_name.c in the previous commit. However,
because we check all error cases and upfront and then later
diagnose them, the logic is a bit tangled. In particular:

- if branch->merge[0] is NULL, we may end up dereferencing
it for an error message (in practice, it should never be
NULL, so this is probably not a triggerable bug).

- We may enter the code path because branch->merge[0]->dst
is NULL, but we then start our error diagnosis by
checking whether our local branch exists. But that is
only relevant to diagnosing missing merge config, not a
missing tracking ref; our diagnosis may hide the real
problem.

Instead, let's just use a sequence of "if" blocks to check
for each error type, diagnose it, and return NULL.

rebase -i: fix post-rewrite hook with failed exec commandMatthieu Moy Fri, 22 May 2015 13:15:49 +0000 (13:15 +0000)

rebase -i: fix post-rewrite hook with failed exec command

Usually, when 'git rebase' stops before completing the rebase, it is to
give the user an opportunity to edit a commit (e.g. with the 'edit'
command). In such cases, 'git rebase' leaves the sha1 of the commit being
rewritten in "$state_dir"/stopped-sha, and subsequent 'git rebase
--continue' will call the post-rewrite hook with this sha1 as <old-sha1>
argument to the post-rewrite hook.

The case of 'git rebase' stopping because of a failed 'exec' command is
different: it gives the opportunity to the user to examine or fix the
failure, but does not stop saying "here's a commit to edit, use
--continue when you're done". So, there's no reason to call the
post-rewrite hook for 'exec' commands. If the user did rewrite the
commit, it would be with 'git commit --amend' which already called the
post-rewrite hook.

Fix the behavior to leave no stopped-sha file in case of failed exec
command, and teach 'git rebase --continue' to skip record_in_rewritten if
no stopped-sha file is found.

The 'exec' command is sending the current commit to stopped-sha, which is

current commit as <old-sha1> to the post-rewrite hook.

bisect Find by binary search the change that introduced a bug
branch List, create, or delete branches
checkout Checkout a branch or paths to the working tree

without any indication of how commands relate to high-level
concepts or each other. Revise the output to explain their relationship
with the typical Git workflow:

These are common Git commands used in various situations:

start a working area (see also: git help tutorial)
clone Clone a repository into a new directory
init Create an empty Git repository or reinitialize [...]

work on the current change (see also: git help everyday)
add Add file contents to the index
reset Reset current HEAD to the specified state

examine the history and state (see also: git help revisions)

remote.c: provide per-branch pushremote nameJeff King Thu, 21 May 2015 04:45:20 +0000 (00:45 -0400)

remote.c: provide per-branch pushremote name

When remote.c loads its config, it records the
branch.*.pushremote for the current branch along with the
global remote.pushDefault value, and then binds them into a
single value: the default push for the current branch. We
then pass this value (which may be NULL) to remote_get_1
when looking up a remote for push.

This has a few downsides:

1. It's confusing. The early-binding of the "current
value" led to bugs like the one fixed by 98b406f
(remote: handle pushremote config in any order,
2014-02-24). And the fact that pushremotes fall back to
ordinary remotes is not explicit at all; it happens
because remote_get_1 cannot tell the difference between
"we are not asking for the push remote" and "there is
no push remote configured".

2. It throws away intermediate data. After read_config()
finishes, we have no idea what the value of
remote.pushDefault was, because the string has been
overwritten by the current branch's
branch.*.pushremote.

3. It doesn't record other data. We don't note the
branch.*.pushremote value for anything but the current
branch.

Let's make this more like the fetch-remote config. We'll
record the pushremote for each branch, and then explicitly
compute the correct remote for the current branch at the
time of reading.

remote.c: drop "remote" pointer from "struct branch"Jeff King Thu, 21 May 2015 04:45:13 +0000 (00:45 -0400)

remote.c: drop "remote" pointer from "struct branch"

When we create each branch struct, we fill in the
"remote_name" field from the config, and then fill in the
actual "remote" field (with a "struct remote") based on that
name. However, it turns out that nobody really cares about
the latter field. The only two sites that access it at all
are:

1. git-merge, which uses it to notice when the branch does
not have a remote defined. But we can easily replace this
with looking at remote_name instead.

2. remote.c itself, when setting up the @{upstream} merge
config. But we don't need to save the "remote" in the
"struct branch" for that; we can just look it up for
the duration of the operation.

So there is no need to have both fields; they are redundant
with each other (the struct remote contains the name, or you
can look up the struct from the name). It would be nice to
simplify this, especially as we are going to add matching
pushremote config in a future patch (and it would be nice to
keep them consistent).

So which one do we keep and which one do we get rid of?

If we had a lot of callers accessing the struct, it would be
more efficient to keep it (since you have to do a lookup to
go from the name to the struct, but not vice versa). But we
don't have a lot of callers; we have exactly one, so
efficiency doesn't matter. We can decide this based on
simplicity and readability.

And the meaning of the struct value is somewhat unclear. Is
it always the remote matching remote_name? If remote_name is
NULL (i.e., no per-branch config), does the struct fall back
to the "origin" remote, or is it also NULL? These questions

behavior is more complicated. So let's just store the name,
which pretty clearly represents the branch.*.remote config.

remote.c: refactor setup of branch->merge listJeff King Thu, 21 May 2015 04:45:09 +0000 (00:45 -0400)

remote.c: refactor setup of branch->merge list

When we call branch_get() to lookup or create a "struct
branch", we make sure the "merge" field is filled in so that
callers can access it. But the conditions under which we do
so are a little confusing, and can lead to two funny
situations:

1. If there's no branch.*.remote config, we cannot provide
branch->merge (because it is really just an application
of branch.*.merge to our remote's refspecs). But
branch->merge_nr may be non-zero, leading callers to be
believe they can access branch->merge (e.g., in
branch_merge_matches and elsewhere).

It doesn't look like this can cause a segfault in
practice, as most code paths dealing with merge config
will bail early if there is no remote defined. But it's
a bit of a dangerous construct.

We can fix this by setting merge_nr to "0" explicitly
when we realize that we have no merge config. Note that
merge_nr also counts the "merge_name" fields (which we
_do_ have; that's how merge_nr got incremented), so we
will "lose" access to them, in the sense that we forget
how many we had. But no callers actually care; we use
merge_name only while iteratively reading the config,
and then convert it to the final "merge" form the first
time somebody calls branch_get().

2. We set up the "merge" field every time branch_get is
called, even if it has already been done. This leaks
memory.

It's not a big deal in practice, since most code paths
will access only one branch, or perhaps each branch
only one time. But if you want to be pathological, you
can leak arbitrary memory with:

yes @{upstream} | head -1000 | git rev-list --stdin

We can fix this by skipping setup when branch->merge is
already non-NULL.

In addition to those two fixes, this patch pushes the "do we
need to setup merge?" logic down into set_merge, where it is
a bit easier to follow.

stash: complain about unknown flags

The option parser for git-stash stuffs unknown flags into
the $FLAGS variable, where they can be accessed by the
individual commands. However, most commands do not even look
at these extra flags, leading to unexpected results like
this:

$ git stash drop --help
Dropped refs/stash@{0} (e6cf6d80faf92bb7828f7b60c47fc61c03bd30a1)

We should notice the extra flags and bail. Rather than
annotate each command to reject a non-empty $FLAGS variable,
we can notice that "stash show" is the only command that
actually _wants_ arbitrary flags. So we switch the default
mode to reject unknown flags, and let stash_show() opt into
the feature.

copy.c: make copy_fd() report its status silently

When copy_fd() function encounters errors, it emits error messages
itself, which makes it impossible for callers to take responsibility
for reporting errors, especially when they want to ignore certain
errors.

Move the error reporting to its callers in preparation.

- copy_file() and copy_file_with_time() by indirection get their
own calls to error().

- hold_lock_file_for_append(), when told to die on error, used to
exit(128) relying on the error message from copy_fd(), but now it
does its own die() instead. Note that the callers that do not
pass LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR need to be adjusted for this change, but
fortunately there is none ;-)

- filter_buffer_or_fd() has its own error() already, in addition to
the message from copy_fd(), so this will change the output but
arguably in a better way.

Commit 2879bc3 made the progress and verbosity options sent to remote helper
earlier than they previously were. But nothing else after that would send
updates if the value is changed later on with transport_set_verbosity.

While for fetch and push, transport_set_verbosity is the first thing that
is done after creating the transport, it was not the case for clone. So
commit 2879bc3 broke changing progress and verbosity for clone, for urls
requiring a remote helper only (so, not git:// urls, for instance).

Git back then didn't behave well, without (doubly) being told that
it is inside a bare repository by exporting "GIT_DIR=.". The form

pull: handle --log=<n>

Since efb779f (merge, pull: add '--(no-)log' command line option,
2008-04-06) git-pull supported the (--no-)log switch and would pass it
to git-merge.

96e9420 (merge: Make '--log' an integer option for number of shortlog
entries, 2010-09-08) implemented support for the --log=<n> switch, which
would explicitly set the number of shortlog entries. However, git-pull
does not recognize this option, and will instead pass it to git-fetch,
leading to "unknown option" errors.

Fix this by matching --log=* in addition to --log and --no-log.

Implement a test for this use case.

t5520: test no merge candidates cases

a8c9bef (pull: improve advice for unconfigured error case, 2009-10-05)
fully established the current advices given by git-pull for the
different cases where git-fetch will not have anything marked for merge:

1. We fetched from a specific remote, and a refspec was given, but it
ended up not fetching anything. This is usually because the user
provided a wildcard refspec which had no matches on the remote end.

2. We fetched from a non-default remote, but didn't specify a branch to
merge. We can't use the configured one because it applies to the
default remote, and thus the user must specify the branches to merge.

3. We fetched from the branch's or repo's default remote, but:

a. We are not on a branch, so there will never be a configured branch
to merge with.

b. We are on a branch, but there is no configured branch to merge
with.

4. We fetched from the branch's or repo's default remote, but the
configured branch to merge didn't get fetched (either it doesn't
exist, or wasn't part of the configured fetch refspec)

Implement tests for the above 5 cases to ensure that the correct code
paths are triggered for each of these cases.

t5520: prevent field splitting in content comparisons

Many tests in t5520 used the following to test the contents of files:

test `cat file` = expected

or

test $(cat file) = expected

These 2 forms, however, will be affected by field splitting and,
depending on the value of $IFS, may be split into multiple arguments,
making the test fail in mysterious ways.

Replace the above 2 forms with:

test "$(cat file)" = expected

as quoting the command substitution will prevent field splitting.

sha1_file: pass empty buffer to index empty fileJim Hill Mon, 18 May 2015 00:41:45 +0000 (17:41 -0700)

sha1_file: pass empty buffer to index empty file

`git add` of an empty file with a filter pops complaints from
`copy_fd` about a bad file descriptor.

This traces back to these lines in sha1_file.c:index_core:

if (!size) {
ret = index_mem(sha1, NULL, size, type, path, flags);

The problem here is that content to be added to the index can be
supplied from an fd, or from a memory buffer, or from a pathname. This
call is supplying a NULL buffer pointer and a zero size.

Downstream logic takes the complete absence of a buffer to mean the
data is to be found elsewhere -- for instance, these, from convert.c:

if (params->src) {
write_err = (write_in_full(child_process.in, params->src, params->size) < 0);
} else {
write_err = copy_fd(params->fd, child_process.in);
}

~If there's a buffer, write from that, otherwise the data must be coming
from an open fd.~

Perfectly reasonable logic in a routine that's going to write from
either a buffer or an fd.

So change `index_core` to supply an empty buffer when indexing an empty
file.

There's a patch out there that instead changes the logic quoted above to
take a `-1` fd to mean "use the buffer", but it seems to me that the
distinction between a missing buffer and an empty one carries intrinsic
semantics, where the logic change is adapting the code to handle
incorrect arguments.

http-backend: fix die recursion with custom handlerJeff King Fri, 15 May 2015 06:29:27 +0000 (02:29 -0400)

http-backend: fix die recursion with custom handler

When we die() in http-backend, we call a custom handler that
writes an HTTP 500 response to stdout, then reports the
error to stderr. Our routines for writing out the HTTP
response may themselves die, leading to us entering die()
again.

When it was originally written, that was OK; our custom
handler keeps a variable to notice this and does not
recurse. However, since cd163d4 (usage.c: detect recursion
in die routines and bail out immediately, 2012-11-14), the
main die() implementation detects recursion before we even
get to our custom handler, and bails without printing
anything useful.

We can handle this case by doing two things:

1. Installing a custom die_is_recursing handler that
allows us to enter up to one level of recursion. Only
the first call to our custom handler will try to write
out the error response. So if we die again, that is OK.
If we end up dying more than that, it is a sign that we
are in an infinite recursion.

2. Reporting the error to stderr before trying to write
out the HTTP response. In the current code, if we do
die() trying to write out the response, we'll exit
immediately from this second die(), and never get a
chance to output the original error (which is almost
certainly the more interesting one; the second die is
just going to be along the lines of "I tried to write
to stdout but it was closed").

lock_packed_refs(): allow retries when acquiring the... Michael Haggerty Mon, 11 May 2015 10:35:26 +0000 (12:35 +0200)

lock_packed_refs(): allow retries when acquiring the packed-refs lock

Currently, there is only one attempt to acquire any lockfile, and if
the lock is held by another process, the locking attempt fails
immediately.

This is not such a limitation for loose reference files. First, they
don't take long to rewrite. Second, most reference updates have a
known "old" value, so if another process is updating a reference at
the same moment that we are trying to lock it, then probably the
expected "old" value will not longer be valid, and the update will
fail anyway.

But these arguments do not hold for packed-refs:

* The packed-refs file can be large and take significant time to
rewrite.

* Many references are stored in a single packed-refs file, so it could
be that the other process was changing a different reference than
the one that we are interested in.

Therefore, it is much more likely for there to be spurious lock
conflicts in connection to the packed-refs file, resulting in
unnecessary command failures.

So, if the first attempt to lock the packed-refs file fails, continue
retrying for a configurable length of time before giving up. The
default timeout is 1 second.

lockfile: allow file locking to be retried with a timeoutMichael Haggerty Mon, 11 May 2015 10:35:25 +0000 (12:35 +0200)

lockfile: allow file locking to be retried with a timeout

Currently, there is only one attempt to lock a file. If it fails, the
whole operation fails.

But it might sometimes be advantageous to try acquiring a file lock a
few times before giving up. So add a new function,
hold_lock_file_for_update_timeout(), that allows a timeout to be
specified. Make hold_lock_file_for_update() a thin wrapper around the
new function.

If timeout_ms is positive, then retry for at least that many
milliseconds to acquire the lock. On each failed attempt, use select()
to wait for a backoff time that increases quadratically (capped at 1
second) and has a random component to prevent two processes from
getting synchronized. If timeout_ms is negative, retry indefinitely.

In a moment we will switch to using the new function when locking
packed-refs.

rerere: exit silently on "forget" when rerere is disabledJeff King Thu, 14 May 2015 19:20:52 +0000 (15:20 -0400)

rerere: exit silently on "forget" when rerere is disabled

If you run "git rerere forget foo" in a repository that does
not have rerere enabled, git hits an internal error:

$ git init -q
$ git rerere forget foo
fatal: BUG: attempt to commit unlocked object

The problem is that setup_rerere() will not actually take
the lock if the rerere system is disabled. We should notice
this and return early. We can return with a success code
here, because we know there is nothing to forget.

pull: remove --tags error in no merge candidates case

Since 441ed41 ("git pull --tags": error out with a better message.,
2007-12-28), git pull --tags would print a different error message if
git-fetch did not return any merge candidates:

It doesn't make sense to pull all tags; you probably meant:
git fetch --tags

This is because at that time, git-fetch --tags would override any
configured refspecs, and thus there would be no merge candidates. The
error message was thus introduced to prevent confusion.

However, since c5a84e9 (fetch --tags: fetch tags *in addition to*
other stuff, 2013-10-30), git fetch --tags would fetch tags in addition
to any configured refspecs. Hence, if any no merge candidates situation
occurs, it is not because --tags was set. As such, this special error
message is now irrelevant.

To prevent confusion, remove this error message.

doc: convert AsciiDoc {?foo} to ifdef::foo[]

The former seems to just be syntactic sugar for the latter.
And as it's sugar that AsciiDoctor doesn't understand, it
would be nice to avoid it. Since there are only two spots,
and the resulting source is not significantly harder to
read, it's worth doing.

Note that this does slightly affect the generated HTML (it
has an extra newline), but the rendered result for both HTML
and docbook should be the same (since the newline is not
syntactically significant there).

log: do not shorten decoration names too early

The DECORATE_SHORT_REFS option given to load_ref_decorations()
affects the way a copy of the refname is stored for each decorated

to adjust their behaviour based on this initial settings.

log: decorate HEAD with branch name under --decorate... Junio C Hamano Wed, 13 May 2015 17:25:18 +0000 (10:25 -0700)

log: decorate HEAD with branch name under --decorate=full, too

The previous step to teach "log --decorate" to show "HEAD -> master"
instead of "HEAD, master" when showing the commit at the tip of the
'master' branch, when the 'master' branch is checked out, did not
work for "log --decorate=full".

The commands in the "log" family prepare commit decorations for all
refs upfront, and the actual string used in a decoration depends on
how load_ref_decorations() is called very early in the process. By
default, "git log --decorate" stores names with common prefixes such
as "refs/heads" stripped; "git log --decorate=full" stores the full
refnames.

When the current_pointed_by_HEAD() function has to decide if "HEAD"
points at the branch a decoration describes, however, what was
passed to load_ref_decorations() to decide to strip (or keep) such a
common prefix is long lost. This makes it impossible to reliably
tell if a decoration that stores "refs/heads/master", for example,
is the 'master' branch (under "--decorate" with prefix omitted) or
'refs/heads/master' branch (under "--decorate=full").

Keep what was passed to load_ref_decorations() in a global next to
the global variable name_decoration, and use that to decide how to
match what was read from "HEAD" and what is in a decoration.
