compat: add missing #include <sys/resource.h>Jonathan Nieder Fri, 18 Mar 2011 20:23:52 +0000 (15:23 -0500)

compat: add missing #include <sys/resource.h>

Starting with commit c793430 (Limit file descriptors used by packs,
2011-02-28), git uses getrlimit to tell how many file descriptors it
can use. Unfortunately it does not include the header declaring that
function, resulting in compilation errors:

sha1_file.c: In function 'open_packed_git_1':
sha1_file.c:718: error: storage size of 'lim' isn't known
sha1_file.c:721: warning: implicit declaration of function 'getrlimit'
sha1_file.c:721: error: 'RLIMIT_NOFILE' undeclared (first use in this function)
sha1_file.c:718: warning: unused variable 'lim'

The standard header to include for this is <sys/resource.h> (which on
some systems itself requires declarations from <sys/types.h> or
<sys/time.h>). Probably the problem was missed until now because in
current glibc sys/resource.h happens to be included by sys/wait.h.

MinGW does not provide sys/resource.h (and compat/mingw takes care of
providing getrlimit some other way), so add the missing #include to
the "#ifndef __MINGW32__" block in git-compat-util.h.

options in the rev-list family of commands such as "log". Consequently,
the description of the --cherry-pick option appears way above the
description of the --left-right option now.

But the description of the --cherry-pick option still refers to the
example for the --left-right option, like this:

builtin/log.c: separate default and setup of cmd_log_init()

cmd_log_init() sets up some default rev options and then calls
setup_revisions(), so that a caller cannot set up own defaults: Either
they get overriden by cmd_log_init() (if set before) or they override
the command line (if set after). We even complain about this in a
comment to cmd_log_reflog().

Therefore, separate the two steps so that one can still call
cmd_log_init() or, alternatively, cmd_log_init_defaults() followed by
cmd_log_init_finish() (and set defaults in between).

No functional change so far.

submodule: process conflicting submodules only onceNicolas Morey-Chaisemartin Wed, 30 Mar 2011 05:20:02 +0000 (07:20 +0200)

submodule: process conflicting submodules only once

During a merge module_list returns conflicting submodules several times
(stage 1,2,3) which caused the submodules to be used multiple times in
git submodule init, sync, update and status command.

There are 5 callers of module_list; they all read (mode, sha1, stage,
path) tuple, and most of them care only about path. As a first level
approximation, it should be Ok (in the sense that it does not make things
worse than it currently is) to filter the duplicate paths from module_list
output, but some callers should change their behaviour when the merge in
the superproject still has conflicts.

Notice the higher-stage entries, and emit only one record from
module_list, but while doing so, mark the entry with "U" (not [0-3]) in
the $stage field and null out the SHA-1 part, as the object name for the
lowest stage does not give any useful information to the caller, and this
way any caller that uses the object name would hopefully barf. Then
update the codepaths for each subcommands this way:

- "update" should not touch the submodule repository, because we do not
know what commit should be checked out yet.

- "status" reports the conflicting submodules as 'U000...000' and does
not recurse into them (we might later want to make it recurse).

- The command called by "foreach" may want to do whatever it wants to do
by noticing the merged status in the superproject itself, so feed the
path to it from module_list as before, but only once per submodule.

- "init" and "sync" are unlikely things to do while the superproject is
still not merged, but as long as a submodule is there in $path, there
is no point skipping it. It might however want to take the merged
status of .gitmodules into account, but that is outside of the scope of
this topic.

remote: deprecate --mirror

The configuration created by plain --mirror is dangerous and
useless, and we now have --mirror=fetch and --mirror=push to
replace it. Let's warn the user.

One alternative to this is to try to guess which type the
user wants. In a non-bare repository, a fetch mirror doesn't
make much sense, since it would overwrite local commits. But
in a bare repository, you might use either type, or even
both (e.g., if you are acting as an intermediate drop-point
across two disconnected networks).

So rather than try for complex heuristics, let's keep it
simple. The user knows what they're trying to do, so let
them tell us.

remote: separate the concept of push and fetch mirrorsJeff King Wed, 30 Mar 2011 19:53:19 +0000 (15:53 -0400)

remote: separate the concept of push and fetch mirrors

git-remote currently has one option, "--mirror", which sets
up mirror configuration which can be used for either
fetching or pushing. It looks like this:

[remote "mirror"]
url = wherever
fetch = +refs/*:refs/*
mirror = true

However, a remote like this can be dangerous and confusing.
Specifically:

1. If you issue the wrong command, it can be devastating.
You are not likely to "push" when you meant to "fetch",
but "git remote update" will try to fetch it, even if
you intended the remote only for pushing. In either
case, the results can be quite destructive. An
unintended push will overwrite or delete remote refs,
and an unintended fetch can overwrite local branches.

2. The tracking setup code can produce confusing results.
The fetch refspec above means that "git checkout -b new
master" will consider refs/heads/master to come from
the remote "mirror", even if you only ever intend to
push to the mirror. It will set up the "new" branch to
track mirror's refs/heads/master.

3. The push code tries to opportunistically update
tracking branches. If you "git push mirror foo:bar",
it will see that we are updating mirror's
refs/heads/bar, which corresponds to our local
refs/heads/bar, and will update our local branch.

To solve this, we split the concept into "push mirrors" and
"fetch mirrors". Push mirrors set only remote.*.mirror,
solving (2) and (3), and making an accidental fetch write
only into FETCH_HEAD. Fetch mirrors set only the fetch
refspec, meaning an accidental push will not force-overwrite
or delete refs on the remote end.

The new syntax is "--mirror=<fetch|push>". For
compatibility, we keep "--mirror" as-is, setting up both
types simultaneously.

remote: disallow some nonsensical option combinations

It doesn't make sense to use "-m" on a mirror, since "-m"
sets up the HEAD symref in the remotes namespace, but with
mirror, we are by definition not using a remotes namespace.

Similarly, it does not make much sense to specify refspecs
with --mirror. For a mirror you plan to push to, those
refspecs will be ignored. For a mirror you are fetching
from, there is no point in mirroring, since the refspec
specifies everything you want to grab.

There is one case where "--mirror -t <X>" would be useful.
Because <X> is used as-is in the refspec, and because we
append it to to refs/, you could mirror a subset of the
hierarchy by doing:

git remote add --mirror -t 'tags/*'

But using anything besides a single branch as an argument to
"-t" is not documented and only happens to work, so closing
it off is not a serious regression.

tests: kill backgrounded processes more robustlyJeff King Wed, 30 Mar 2011 03:30:17 +0000 (23:30 -0400)

tests: kill backgrounded processes more robustly

t0081 creates several background processes that write to a fifo and
then go to sleep for a while (so the reader of the fifo does not see
EOF).

Each background process is made in a curly-braced block in the shell,
and after we are done reading from the fifo, we use "kill $!" to kill
it off.

For a simple, single-command process, this works reliably and kills
the child sleep process. But for more complex commands like
"make_some_output && sleep", the results are less predictable. When
executing under bash, we end up with a subshell that gets killed by
the $! but leaves the sleep process still alive.

This is bad not only for process hygeine (we are leaving random sleep
processes to expire after a while), but also interacts badly with the
"prove" command. When prove executes a test, it does not realize the
test is done when it sees SIGCHLD, but rather waits until the test's
stdout pipe is closed. The orphaned sleep process may keep that pipe
open via test-lib's file descriptor 5, causing prove to hang for 100
seconds.

The solution is to explicitly use a subshell and to exec the final
sleep process, so that when we "kill $!" we get the process id of the
sleep process.

[jn: original patch by Jeff had some additional bits:

1. Wrap the "kill" in a test_when_finished, since we want
to clean up the process whether the test succeeds or not.

2. The "kill" is part of our && chain for test success. It
probably won't fail, but it can if the process has
expired before we manage to kill it. So let's mark it
as OK to fail.

I'm postponing that for now.]

Fix potential local deadlock during fetch-packJunio C Hamano Tue, 29 Mar 2011 17:06:19 +0000 (10:06 -0700)

Fix potential local deadlock during fetch-pack

The fetch-pack/upload-pack protocol relies on the underlying transport
(local pipe or TCP socket) to have enough slack to allow one window worth
of data in flight without blocking the writer. Traditionally we always
relied on being able to have two windows of 32 "have"s in flight (roughly
3k bytes) to stream.

The recent "progressive-stride" change allows "fetch-pack" to send up to
1024 "have"s without reading any response from "upload-pack". The
outgoing pipe of "upload-pack" can be clogged with many ACK and NAK that
are unread, while "fetch-pack" is still stuffing its outgoing pipe with
more "have"s, leading to a deadlock.

Revert the change unless we are in stateless rpc (aka smart-http) mode, as
using a large window full of "have"s is still a good way to help reduce
the number of back-and-forth, and there is no buffering issue there (it is
strictly "ping-pong" without an overlap).

enable "no-done" extension only when fetching over smart-http

When 'no-done' protocol extension is used, the upload-pack (i.e. the
server side) process stops listening to the fetch-pack after issuing the
final NAK, and starts sending the generated pack data back, but there may
be more "have" send by the latter in flight that the fetch-pack is
expecting to be responded with ACK/NAK. This will typically result in a
deadlock (both will block on write that the other end never reads) or
SIGPIPE on the fetch-pack end (upload-pack will finish writing a small
pack and goes away).

Disable it unless fetch-pack is running under smart-http, where there is
no such streaming issue.

tests: fix overeager scrubbing of environment variables

In commit 95a1d12e9b9f ("tests: scrub environment of GIT_* variables") all
environment variables starting with "GIT_" were unset for the tests using
a perl script rather than unsetting them one by one. Only three exceptions
were made to make them work as before: "GIT_TRACE*", "GIT_DEBUG*" and
"GIT_USE_LOOKUP".

Unfortunately some environment variables used by the test framework itself
were not added to the exceptions and thus stopped working when given
before the make command instead of after it. Those are:

- GIT_NOTES_TIMING_TESTS
- GIT_PATCHID_TIMING_TESTS
- GIT_PROVE_OPTS
- GIT_REMOTE_SVN_TEST_BIG_FILES
- GIT_SKIP_TESTS
- GIT_TEST*
- GIT_VALGRIND_OPTIONS

I noticed that when skipping a test the way I was used to suddenly failed:

GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t1234' GIT_TEST_OPTS='--root=/dev/shm' make -j10 test

This should work according to t/README, but didn't anymore, so let's fix
that by adding them to the exception list. And to avoid having a long
regexp put the exceptions in a separate variable using nicer formatting.

Currently "git log" doesn't show the embedded NULs but "git cat-file

vcs-svn: make reading of properties binary-safe

svn-fe errors out on revision 59151 of the ASF repository:

fatal: invalid dump: unexpected end of file

The proximate cause is a property with an embedded NUL character.
Previously such anomalies were ignored but commit c9d1c8ba
(2010-12-28) introduced a check strlen(val) == len to avoid reading
uninitialized data when a property list ends early and unfortunately
this test does not distinguish between "foo" followed by EOF and the
string "foo\0bar\0baz".

Fix it by using buffer_read_binary to read to a strbuf and checking
the actual length read. Most consumers of properties still use
C-style strings, so in practice an author or log message with embedded
NULs will be truncated, but a least this way svn-fe won't error out
(fixing the regression).

pull: do not clobber untracked files on initial pull

For a pull into an unborn branch, we do not use "git merge"
at all. Instead, we call read-tree directly. However, we
used the --reset parameter instead of "-m", which turns off
the safety features.

merge: merge unborn index before setting ref

When we merge into an unborn branch, there are basically two
steps:

1. Write the sha1 of the new commit into the ref pointed
to by HEAD.

2. Update the index with the new content, and check it out
to the working tree.

We currently do them in this order. However, (2) is the step
that is much more likely to fail, since it can be blocked by
things like untracked working tree files. When it does, the
merge fails and we are left with an empty index but an
updated HEAD.

This patch switches the order, so that a failure in updating
the index leaves us unchanged. Of course, a failure in
updating the ref now leaves us with an updated index and
mis-matched HEAD. That is arguably not much better, but it
is probably less likely to actually happen.

t7607: clean up stray untracked file

This file ends up conflicting with the test just after it
(causing the "git merge" to fail). Neither test is to blame
for the bug, though. It looks like the merge in 1a9fe45
(Merge branch 'tr/merge-unborn-clobber', 2011-02-09) is what
caused the conflict.

We didn't notice because the follow-on test is already
marked as expect_failure (even though it has since been
fixed, and now succeeds once the untracked file is moved out
of the way).
