So I find it irritating when git thinks for a long time without telling me
what's taking so long. And by "long time" I definitely mean less than two
seconds, which is already way too long for me.
This hits me when doing a large pull and the checkout takes a long time,
or when just switching to another branch that is old and again checkout
takes a while.
Now, git read-tree already had support for the "-v" flag that does nice
updates about what's going on, but it was delayed by two seconds, and if
the thing had already done more than half by then it would be quiet even
after that, so in practice it meant that we migth be quiet for up to four
seconds. Much too long.
So this patch changes the timeout to just one second, which makes it much
more palatable to me.
The other thing this patch does is that "git checkout" now doesn't disable
the "-v" flag when doing its thing, and only disables the output when
given the -q flag. When allowing "checkout -m" to fall back to a 3-way
merge, the users will see the error message from straight "checkout",
so we will tell them that we do fall back to make them look less scary.

Use helper function for copying index entry information
We used to just memcpy() the index entry when we copied the stat() and
SHA1 hash information, which worked well enough back when the index
entry was just an exact bit-for-bit representation of the information on
disk.
However, these days we actually have various management information in
the cache entry too, and we should be careful to not overwrite it when
we copy the stat information from another index entry.

Name hash fixups: export (and rename) remove_hash_entry
This makes the name hash removal function (which really just sets the
bit that disables lookups of it) available to external routines, and
makes read_cache_unmerged() use it when it drops an unmerged entry from
the index.
It's renamed to remove_index_entry(), and we drop the (unused) 'istate'
argument.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
We handled the case of removing and re-inserting cache entries badly,
which is something that merging commonly needs to do (removing the
different stages, and then re-inserting one of them as the merged
state).
We even had a rather ugly special case for this failure case, where
replace_index_entry() basically turned itself into a no-op if the new
and the old entries were the same, exactly because the hash routines
didn't handle it on their own.
So what this patch does is to not just have the UNHASHED bit, but a
HASHED bit too, and when you insert an entry into the name hash, that
involves:
- clear the UNHASHED bit, because now it's valid again for lookup
(which is really all that UNHASHED meant)
- if we're being lazy, we're done here (but we still want to clear the
UNHASHED bit regardless of lazy mode, since we can become unlazy
later, and so we need the UNHASHED bit to always be set correctly,
even if we never actually insert the entry into the hash list)
- if it was already hashed, we just leave it on the list
- otherwise mark it HASHED and insert it into the list
this all means that unhashing and rehashing a name all just works
automatically. Obviously, you cannot change the name of an entry (that
would be a serious bug), but nothing can validly do that anyway (you'd
have to allocate a new struct cache_entry anyway since the name length
could change), so that's not a new limitation.
The code actually gets simpler in many ways, although the lazy hashing
does mean that there are a few odd cases (ie something can be marked
unhashed even though it was never on the hash in the first place, and
isn't actually marked hashed!).
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
We were returning the _address of_ the stored item (or NULL)
instead of the item itself. While this sort of indirection
is useful for insertion (since you can lookup and then
modify), it is unnecessary for read-only lookup. Since the
hash code splits these functions between the internal
lookup_hash_entry function and the public lookup_hash
function, it makes sense for the latter to provide what
users of the library expect.
The result of this was that the index caching returned bogus
results on lookup. We unfortunately didn't catch this
because we were returning a "struct cache_entry **" as a
"void *", and accidentally assigning it to a "struct
cache_entry *".
As it happens, this actually _worked_ most of the time,
because the entries were defined as:
meaning that interpreting a "struct cache_entry **" as a
"struct cache_entry *" would yield an entry where all fields
were totally bogus _except_ for the next pointer, which
pointed to the actual cache entry. When walking the list, we
would look at the bogus "name" field, which was unlikely to
match our lookup, and then proceed to the "real" entry.
The reading of bogus data was silently ignored most of the
time, but could cause a segfault for some data (which seems
to be more common on OS X).

git-gui: Avoid hardcoded Windows paths in Cygwin package files
When we are being built by the Cygwin package maintainers we need to
embed the POSIX path to our library files and not the Windows path.
Embedding the Windows path means all end-users who install our Cygwin
package would be required to install Cygwin at the same Windows path
as the package maintainer had Cygwin installed to. This requirement
is simply not user-friendly and may be infeasible for a large number
of our users.
We now try to auto-detect if the Tcl/Tk binary we will use at runtime
is capable of translating POSIX paths into Windows paths the same way
that cygpath does the translations. If the Tcl/Tk binary gives us the
same results then it understands the Cygwin path translation process
and should be able to read our library files from a POSIX path name.
If it does not give us the same answer as cygpath then the Tcl/Tk
binary might actually be a native Win32 build (one that is not
linked against Cygwin) and thus requires the native Windows path
to our library files. We can assume this is not a Cygwin package
as the Cygwin maintainers do not currently ship a pure Win32 build
of Tcl/Tk.

git-gui: Default TCL_PATH to same location as TCLTK_PATH
Most users set TCLTK_PATH to tell git-gui where to find wish, but they
fail to set TCL_PATH to the same Tcl installation. We use the non-GUI
tclsh during builds so headless systems are still able to create an
index file and create message files without GNU msgfmt. So it matters
to us that we find a working TCL_PATH at build time.
If TCL_PATH hasn't been set yet we can take a better guess about what
tclsh executable to use by replacing 'wish' in the executable path with
'tclsh'. We only do this replacement on the filename part of the path,
just in case the string "wish" appears in the directory paths. Most of
the time the tclsh will be installed alongside wish so this replacement
is a sensible and safe default.

cvsexportcommit: be graceful when "cvs status" reorders the arguments
In my use cases, "cvs status" sometimes reordered the passed filenames,
which often led to a misdetection of a dirty state (when it was in
reality a clean state).
I finally tracked it down to two filenames having the same basename.
So no longer trust the order of the results blindly, but actually check
the file name.
Since "cvs status" only returns the basename (and the complete path on the
server which is useless for our purposes), run "cvs status" several times
with lists consisting of files with unique (chomped) basenames.
Be a bit clever about new files: these are reported as "no file <blabla>",
so in order to discern it from existing files, prepend "no file " to the
basename.
In other words, one call to "cvs status" will not ask for two files
"blabla" (which does not yet exist) and "no file blabla" (which exists).
This patch makes cvsexportcommit slightly slower, when the list of changed
files has non-unique basenames, but at least it is accurate now.

Rename git-core rpm to just git and rename the meta-pacakge to git-all.
This fixes my favorite annoyance with the git rpm packaging: don't pull

With this change, and blanket 'yum update' will automatically pull in the
new 'git' package and push out the old 'git-core', and if the old 'git'
package was installed 'git-all' will be pulled in instead. A couple of
things do break though: 'yum update git-core', because yum behaves
differently when given a specific package name - it doesn't follow obsoletes.
Instead, 'yum install git' will pull in the new git rpm, which will then
push out the old 'git-core'. Similarly, to get the newest version of
the meta package, 'yum install git-all' will install git-all, which then
pushes out the old 'git' meta package.

Setting $params{'project'} is moved before replaying params; this
