merge-recursive: Do not look at working tree during a virtual ancestor merge
Fix another instance of a recursive merge incorrectly paying attention to
the working tree file during a virtual ancestor merge, that resulted in
spurious and useless "addinfo_cache failed" error message.
When running git describe --dirty the index should be refreshed. Previously
the cached index would cause describe to think that the index was dirty when,
in reality, it was just stale.
The issue was exposed by python setuptools which hardlinks files into another
directory when building a distribution.
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.

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.

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 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:
[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/*)
}
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.

fetch: skip on-demand checking when no submodules are configured
It makes no sense to do the - possibly very expensive - call to "rev-list

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.

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 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.
