git-remote-mediawiki: bugfix for pages w/ >500 revisions
Mediawiki introduces a new API for queries w/ more than 500 results in
version 1.21. That change triggered an infinite loop while cloning a
mediawiki with such a page.
The latest API renamed and moved the "continuing" information in the
response, necessary to build the next query. The code failed to retrieve
that information but still detected that it was in a "continuing
query". As a result, it launched the same query over and over again.
If a "continuing" information is detected in the response (old or new),
the next query is updated accordingly. If not, we quit assuming it's not
a continuing query.

$git_perms .= "w" if ( $mode & 2 );
$git_perms .= "x" if ( $mode & 1 );
which was already wrong, as (100644 & 4) is very different from
oct("100644") & 4. An earlier refactoring 2c3af7e7 (cvsserver:

pick the third octal digit (10*0*644 or 10*0*755) from the left and
then do the above conversion, which does not make sense, either.
Let's use the third digit from the last of the octal mode string to
make sure we get the executable and read bits right.

has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving up
When we read a sha1 file, we first look for a packed
version, then a loose version, and then re-check the pack
directory again before concluding that we cannot find it.
This lets us handle a process that is writing to the
repository simultaneously (e.g., receive-pack writing a new
pack followed by a ref update, or git-repack packing
existing loose objects into a new pack).
However, we do not do the same trick with has_sha1_file; we
only check the packed objects once, followed by loose
objects. This means that we might incorrectly report that we
do not have an object, even though we could find it if we
simply re-checked the pack directory.
By itself, this is usually not a big deal. The other process
is running simultaneously, so we may run has_sha1_file
before it writes, anyway. It is a race whether we see the
object or not. However, we may also see other things
the writing process has done (like updating refs); and in
that case, we must be able to also see the new objects.
For example, imagine we are doing a for_each_ref iteration,
and somebody simultaneously pushes. Receive-pack may write
the pack and update a ref after we have examined the
objects/pack directory, but before the iteration gets to the
updated ref. When we do finally see the updated ref,
for_each_ref will call has_sha1_file to check whether the
ref is broken. If has_sha1_file returns the wrong answer, we
erroneously will think that the ref is broken.
For a normal iteration without DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN,
this means that the caller does not see the ref at all
(neither the old nor the new value). So not only will we
fail to see the new value of the ref (which is acceptable,
since we are running simultaneously with the writer, and we
might well read the ref before the writer commits its
write), but we will not see the old value either. For
programs that act on reachability like pack-objects or
prune, this can cause data loss, as we may see the objects
referenced by the original ref value as dangling (and either
omit them from the pack, or delete them via prune).
There's no test included here, because the success case is
two processes running simultaneously forever. But you can
replicate the issue with:
# base.sh
# run this in one terminal; it creates and pushes
# repeatedly to a repository
git init parent &&
(cd parent &&
# create a base commit that will trigger us looking at
# the objects/pack directory before we hit the updated ref
echo content >file &&
git add file &&
git commit -m base &&
# set the unpack limit abnormally low, which
# lets us simulate full-size pushes using tiny ones
git config receive.unpackLimit 1
) &&
git clone parent child &&
cd child &&
n=0 &&
while true; do
echo $n >file && git add file && git commit -m $n &&
git push origin HEAD:refs/remotes/child/master &&
n=$(($n + 1))
done
# fsck.sh
# now run this simultaneously in another terminal; it
# repeatedly fscks, looking for us to consider the
# newly-pushed ref broken. We cannot use for-each-ref
# here, as it uses DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN, which
# skips the has_sha1_file check (and if it wants
# more information on the object, it will actually read
# the object, which does the proper two-step lookup)
cd parent &&
while true; do
broken=`git fsck 2>&1 | grep remotes/child`
if test -n "$broken"; then
echo $broken
exit 1
fi
done
Without this patch, the fsck loop fails within a few seconds
(and almost instantly if the test repository actually has a
large number of refs). With it, the two can run
indefinitely.

mailmap: handle mailmap blobs without trailing newlines
The read_mailmap_buf function reads each line of the mailmap
using strchrnul, like:
const char *end = strchrnul(buf, '\n');
unsigned long linelen = end - buf + 1;
But that's off-by-one when we actually hit the NUL byte; our
line does not have a terminator, and so is only "end - buf"
bytes long. As a result, when we subtract the linelen from
the total len, we end up with (unsigned long)-1 bytes left
in the buffer, and we start reading random junk from memory.
We could fix it with:
unsigned long linelen = end - buf + !!*end;
but let's take a step back for a moment. It's questionable
in the first place for a function that takes a buffer and
length to be using strchrnul. But it works because we only
have one caller (and are only likely to ever have this one),
which is handing us data from read_sha1_file. Which means
that it's always NUL-terminated.
Instead of tightening the assumptions to make the
buffer/length pair work for a caller that doesn't actually
exist, let's let loosen the assumptions to what the real
caller has: a modifiable, NUL-terminated string.
This makes the code simpler and shorter (because we don't
have to correlate strchrnul with the length calculation),
correct (because the code with the off-by-one just goes
away), and more efficient (we can drop the extra allocation
we needed to create NUL-terminated strings for each line,
and just terminate in place).

config: do not use C function names as struct members
According to C99, section 7.1.4:
Any function declared in a header may be additionally
implemented as a function-like macro defined in the
header.
Therefore calling our struct member function pointer "fgetc"
may run afoul of unwanted macro expansion when we call:
char c = cf->fgetc(cf);
This turned out to be a problem on uclibc, which defines
fgetc as a macro and causes compilation failure.
The standard suggests fixing this in a few ways:
1. Using extra parentheses to inhibit the function-like
macro expansion. E.g., "(cf->fgetc)(cf)". This is
undesirable as it's ugly, and each call site needs to
remember to use it (and on systems without the macro,
forgetting will compile just fine).
2. Using #undef (because a conforming implementation must
also be providing fgetc as a function). This is
undesirable because presumably the implementation was
using the macro for a performance benefit, and we are
dropping that optimization.
Instead, we can simply use non-colliding names.

must take extra care upon completion to restore $EDITOR in order to

fetch-pack: do not remove .git/shallow file when --depth is not specified
fetch_pack() can remove .git/shallow file when a shallow repository
becomes a full one again. This behavior is triggered incorrectly when
tags are also fetched because fetch_pack() will be called twice. At
the first fetch_pack() call:
- shallow_lock is set up
- alternate_shallow_file points to shallow_lock.filename, which is
"shallow.lock"
- commit_lock_file is called, which sets shallow_lock.filename to "".
alternate_shallow_file also becomes "" because it points to the
same memory.
At the second call, setup_alternate_shallow() is not called and
alternate_shallow_file remains "". It's mistaken as unshallow case and
.git/shallow is removed. The end result is a broken repository.
Fix this by always initializing alternate_shallow_file when
fetch_pack() is called. As an extra measure, check if args->depth > 0
before commit/rollback shallow file.

Checking out 2GB or more through an external filter (see test) fails
on Mac OS X 10.8.4 (12E55) for a 64-bit executable with:
error: read from external filter cat failed
error: cannot feed the input to external filter cat
error: cat died of signal 13
error: external filter cat failed 141
error: external filter cat failed
The reason is that read() immediately returns with EINVAL when asked
to read more than 2GB. According to POSIX [1], if the value of
nbyte passed to read() is greater than SSIZE_MAX, the result is
implementation-defined. The write function has the same restriction
[2]. Since OS X still supports running 32-bit executables, the
32-bit limit (SSIZE_MAX = INT_MAX = 2GB - 1) seems to be also
imposed on 64-bit executables under certain conditions. For write,
the problem has been addressed earlier [6c642a].
Address the problem for read() and write() differently, by limiting
size of IO chunks unconditionally on all platforms in xread() and
xwrite(). Large chunks only cause problems, like causing latencies
when killing the process, even if OS X was not buggy. Doing IO in
reasonably sized smaller chunks should have no negative impact on
performance.
The compat wrapper clipped_write() introduced earlier [6c642a] is
not needed anymore. It will be reverted in a separate commit. The
new test catches read and write problems.
Note that 'git add' exits with 0 even if it prints filtering errors
to stderr. The test, therefore, checks stderr. 'git add' should
probably be changed (sometime in another commit) to exit with
nonzero if filtering fails. The test could then be changed to use
test_must_fail.

A Git-aware "connect" transport allows the "transport_take_over" to
redirect generic transport requests like fetch(), push_refs() and
get_refs_list() to the native Git transport handling methods. The
take-over process replaces transport->data with a fake data that
these method implementations understand.
While this hack works OK for a single request, it breaks when the
transport needs to make more than one requests. transport->data
that used to hold necessary information for the specific helper to
work correctly is destroyed during the take-over process.
One codepath that this matters is "git fetch" in auto-follow mode;
when it does not get all the tags that ought to point at the history
it got (which can be determined by looking at the peeled tags in the
initial advertisement) from the primary transfer, it internally
makes a second request to complete the fetch. Because "take-over"
hack has already destroyed the data necessary to talk to the
transport helper by the time this happens, the second request cannot
make a request to the helper to make another connection to fetch
these additional tags.
Mark such a transport as "cannot_reuse", and use a separate
transport to perform the backfill fetch in order to work around
this breakage.
Note that this problem does not manifest itself when running t5802,
because our upload-pack gives you all the necessary auto-followed
tags during the primary transfer. You would need to step through
"git fetch" in a debugger, stop immediately after the primary
transfer finishes and writes these auto-followed tags, remove the
tag references and repack/prune the repository to convince the
"find-non-local-tags" procedure that the primary transfer failed to
give us all the necessary tags, and then let it continue, in order
to trigger the bug in the secondary transfer this patch fixes.
Usually the upload-pack process running on the other side will give
us all the reachable tags we need during the primary object transfer
in do_fetch(). If that does not happen (e.g. the other side may be
running a third-party implementation of upload-pack), we will run
another fetch to pick up leftover tags that we know point at the
commits reachable from our updated tips.
Separate out the code to run this second fetch into a helper
function.
fetch: rename file-scope global "transport" to "gtransport"
Although many functions in this file take a "struct transport" as a
parameter, "fetch_one()" assigns to the global singleton instance
which is a file-scope static, in order to allow a parameterless
signal handler unlock_pack() to access it.
Rename the variable to gtransport to make sure these uses stand out.
This is an attempt to reproduce a problem reported for a third-party
custom "connect" remote helper. The conjecture is that sometimes
"git fetch" wants to make two connections (one for the primary
transfer with 'follow-tags' option set, and then after noticing that
some tags are not packed because the primary transfer did not have
to send any commit that is pointed by them, another to explicitly
ask for the missing tags), and their "connect" helper is not called
in the second request, breaking the "fetch" as a whole.
Unfortunately this test script does not trigger the alleged failure
and happily passes when talking to upload-pack from git-core (see
patch 5/5 for details).

t8001, t8002: fix "blame -L :literal" test on NetBSD
Sub-test 42 of t8001 and t8002 ("blame -L :literal") fails on NetBSD
with the following verbose output:
git annotate -L:main hello.c
Author F (expected 4, attributed 3) bad
Author G (expected 1, attributed 1) good
This is not caused by different behaviour of git blame or annotate on
that platform, but by different test input, in turn caused by a sed
command that forgets to add a newline on NetBSD. Here's the diff of the
commit that adds "goodbye" to hello.c, for Linux:
It also adds an extra TAB, but it is missing the newline character
after the semicolon.
The following patch gets rid of the extra TAB at the beginning, but
more importantly adds the missing newline at the end in a (hopefully)
portable way, mentioned in http://sed.sourceforge.net/sedfaq4.html.
The diff becomes this, on both Linux and NetBSD:
