doc/gitattributes: clarify location of config textJeff King Thu, 16 Apr 2009 07:17:12 +0000 (03:17 -0400)

doc/gitattributes: clarify location of config text

The gitattributes documentation has a section on the "diff"
attribute, with subsections for each of the things you might
want to configure in your diff config section (external
diff, hunk headers, etc). The first such subsection
specifically notes that the definition of the diff driver
should go into $GIT_DIR/config, but subsequent sections do
not.

This location is implied if you are reading the
documentation sequentially, but it is not uncommon for a new
user to jump to (or be referred to) a specific section. For
a new user who does not know git well enough to recognize
the config syntax, it is not clear that those directives
don't also go into the gitattributes file.

This patch just mentions the config file in each subsection,
similar to the way it is mentioned in the first.

hook/update: example of how to prevent branch creation

Since git doesn't provide a receive.denyBranchCreation or similar, here is
an example of how to be sure users cannot create branches remotely by
pushing a new reference.

This setup has been proven useful to prevent creation of spurious branches
because of users having their remote.origin.push set to HEAD, when they
use `git push` while being on a local topic branch of theirs instead of
the proper one.

Fix buffer overflow in config parserThomas Jarosch Fri, 17 Apr 2009 12:05:11 +0000 (14:05 +0200)

Fix buffer overflow in config parser

When interpreting a config value, the config parser reads in 1+ space
character(s) and puts -one- space character in the buffer as soon as
the first non-space character is encountered (if not inside quotes).

Unfortunately the buffer size check lacks the extra space character
which gets inserted at the next non-space character, resulting in
a crash with a specially crafted config entry.

The unit test now uses Java to compile a platform independent
.NET framework to output the test string in C# :o)

which replaces the perl invocation.

add-interactive: refactor mode hunk handlingJeff King Thu, 16 Apr 2009 07:14:15 +0000 (03:14 -0400)

add-interactive: refactor mode hunk handling

The original implementation considered the mode separately
from the rest of the hunks, asking about it outside the main
hunk-selection loop. This patch instead places a mode change
as the first hunk in the loop. This has two advantages:

1. less duplicated code (since we use the main selection
loop). This also cleans up an inconsistency, which is
that the main selection loop separates options with a
comma, whereas the mode prompt used slashes.

2. users can now skip the mode change and come back to it,
search for it (via "/mode"), etc, as they can with other
hunks.

To facilitate this, each hunk is now marked with a "type".
Mode hunks are not considered for splitting (which would
make no sense, and also confuses the split_hunk function),
nor are they editable. In theory, one could edit the mode
lines and change to a new mode. In practice, there are only
two modes that git cares about (0644 and 0755), so either
you want to move from one to the other or not (and you can
do that by staging or not staging).

git add -p: new "quit" command at the prompt.

There's already 'd' to stop staging hunks in a file, but no explicit
command to stop the interactive staging (for the current files and the
remaining ones). Of course you can do 'd' and then ^C, but it would be
more intuitive to allow 'quit' action.

builtin-apply: keep information about files to be deleted

Example correct diff generated by `diff -M -B' might look like this:

diff --git a/file1 b/file2
similarity index 100%
rename from file1
rename to file2
diff --git a/file2 b/file1
similarity index 100%
rename from file2
rename to file1

Information about removing `file2' comes after information about creation
of new `file2' (renamed from `file1'). Existing implementation isn't able to
apply such patch, because it has to know in advance which files will be
removed.

This patch populates fn_table with information about removal of files
before calling check_patch() for each patch to be applied.

doc/checkout: refer to git-branch(1) as appropriate

Most of description for the branch creation options is
simply cut and paste from git-branch. There are two reasons
to fix this:

1. It can grow stale with respect to what's in "git
branch" (which it is now is).

2. It is not just an implementation detail, but rather the
desired mental model for the command that we are using
"git branch" here. Being explicit about that can help
the user understand what is going on.

It also makes sense to strip the branch creation options
from the synopsis, as they are making it a long,
hard-to-read line. They are still easily discovered by
reading the options list, and --track is explicitly
referenced when branch creation is described.

The term "tracking" often creates confusion between remote
tracking branches and local branches which track a remote
branch. The term "upstream" captures more clearly the idea
of "branch A is based on branch B in some way", so it makes

show_object(): push path_name() call further downLinus Torvalds Sat, 11 Apr 2009 01:15:26 +0000 (18:15 -0700)

show_object(): push path_name() call further down

In particular, pushing the "path_name()" call _into_ the show() function
would seem to allow

- more clarity into who "owns" the name (ie now when we free the name in
the show_object callback, it's because we generated it ourselves by
calling path_name())

- not calling path_name() at all, either because we don't care about the
name in the first place, or because we are actually happy walking the
linked list of "struct name_path *" and the last component.

Now, I didn't do that latter optimization, because it would require some
more coding, but especially looking at "builtin-pack-objects.c", we really
don't even want the whole pathname, we really would be better off with the
list of path components.

Why? We use that name for two things:
- add_preferred_base_object(), which actually _wants_ to traverse the
path, and now does it by looking for '/' characters!
- for 'name_hash()', which only cares about the last 16 characters of a
name, so again, generating the full name seems to be just unnecessary
work.

Anyway, so I didn't look any closer at those things, but it did convince
me that the "show_object()" calling convention was crazy, and we're
actually better off doing _less_ in list-objects.c, and giving people
access to the internal data structures so that they can decide whether
they want to generate a path-name or not.

This patch does that, and then for people who did use the name (even if
they might do something more clever in the future), it just does the
straightforward "name = path_name(path, component); .. free(name);" thing.

process_{tree,blob}: show objects without bufferingLinus Torvalds Sat, 11 Apr 2009 00:27:58 +0000 (17:27 -0700)

process_{tree,blob}: show objects without buffering

Here's a less trivial thing, and slightly more dubious one.

I was looking at that "struct object_array objects", and wondering why we
do that. I have honestly totally forgotten. Why not just call the "show()"
function as we encounter the objects? Rather than add the objects to the
object_array, and then at the very end going through the array and doing a
'show' on all, just do things more incrementally.

Now, there are possible downsides to this:

- the "buffer using object_array" _can_ in theory result in at least
better I-cache usage (two tight loops rather than one more spread out
one). I don't think this is a real issue, but in theory..

- this _does_ change the order of the objects printed. Instead of doing a
"process_tree(revs, commit->tree, &objects, NULL, "");" in the loop
over the commits (which puts all the root trees _first_ in the object
list, this patch just adds them to the list of pending objects, and
then we'll traverse them in that order (and thus show each root tree
object together with the objects we discover under it)

I _think_ the new ordering actually makes more sense, but the object
ordering is actually a subtle thing when it comes to packing
efficiency, so any change in order is going to have implications for
packing. Good or bad, I dunno.

- There may be some reason why we did it that odd way with the object
array, that I have simply forgotten.

Anyway, now that we don't buffer up the objects before showing them
that may actually result in lower memory usage during that whole
traverse_commit_list() phase.

This is seriously not very deeply tested. It makes sense to me, it seems
to pass all the tests, it looks ok, but...

Does anybody remember why we did that "object_array" thing? It used to be
an "object_list" a long long time ago, but got changed into the array due
to better memory usage patterns (those linked lists of obejcts are
horrible from a memory allocation standpoint). But I wonder why we didn't
do this back then. Maybe there's a reason for it.

Or maybe there _used_ to be a reason, and no longer is.

The mergetool--lib scriplet was tricky to use because it relied upon
the existance of several global shell variables. This removes more

A side effect is that some variables are recomputed each time
run_merge_tool() is called, but the overhead for recomputing
them is justified by the simpler implementation.

Ack, ack.

There's another easy 5% or so for the built-in object walker: once we've
created the hash from the name, the name isn't interesting any more, and
so something trivial like this can help a bit.

Does it matter? Probably not on its own. But a few more memory saving
tricks and it might all make a difference.

t1301-shared-repo: fix forced modes testJohannes Sixt Sun, 12 Apr 2009 19:22:02 +0000 (21:22 +0200)

t1301-shared-repo: fix forced modes test

This test was added recently (5a688fe, "core.sharedrepository = 0mode"
should set, not loosen; 2009-03-28). It checked the result of a sed
invocation for emptyness, but in some cases it forgot to print anything
at all, so that those checks would never be false.

Due to this mistake, it went unnoticed that the files in objects/info are
not necessarily 0440, but can also be 0660. Because the 0mode setting
tries to guarantee that the files are accessible only to the people they
are meant to be used by, we should only make sure that they are readable
by the user and the group when the configuration is set to 0660. It is a
separate matter from the core.shredrepository settings that w-bit from
immutable object files under objects/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f] directories should
be dropped.

COMMIT_EDITMSG is still world-readable, but it (and any transient files
that are meant for repositories with a work tree) does not matter. If you
are working on a shared machine and on a sekrit stuff, the root of the
work tree would be with mode 0700 (or 0750 to allow peeking by other
people in the group), and that would mean that .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG in such
a repository would not be readable by the strangers anyway.

Also, in the real-world use case, .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG will be given to an
arbitrary editor the user happens to use, and we have no guarantee what it
does (e.g. it may create a new file with umask and replace, it may rewrite
in place, it may leave an editor backup file but use umask to create it,
etc.), and the protection of the file lies majorly on the protection of
the root of the work tree.

This test cannot be run on Windows; it requires POSIXPERM when merged to
'master'.

Allow users to un-configure rename detectionLinus Torvalds Thu, 9 Apr 2009 18:46:15 +0000 (11:46 -0700)

Allow users to un-configure rename detection

I told people on the kernel mailing list to please use "-M" when sending
me rename patches, so that I can see what they do while reading email
rather than having to apply the patch and then look at the end result.

I also told them that if they want to make it the default, they can just
add

[diff]
renames

to their ~/.gitconfig file. And while I was thinking about that, I wanted
to also check whether you can then mark individual projects to _not_ have
that default in the per-repository .git/config file.

And you can't. Currently you cannot have a global "enable renames by
default" and then a local ".. but not for _this_ project". Why? Because if
somebody writes

[diff]
renames = no

we simply ignore it, rather than resetting "diff_detect_rename_default"
back to zero.

Fixed thusly.

The --ignore-paths option to fetch is very useful for working on a subset

This patch adds a persistent svn-remote.$repo_id.ignore-paths config by
