* git checkout -b: allow switching out of an unborn branchjc/checkout-out-of-unbornJunio C Hamano2012-02-062-1/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Running "git checkout -b another" immediately after "git init" when you do not even have a commit on 'master' fails with: $ git checkout -b another fatal: You are on a branch yet to be born This is unnecessary, if we redefine "git checkout -b $name" that does not take any $start_point (which has to be a commit) as "I want to check out a new branch $name from the state I am in".

* thin-pack: try harder to use preferred base objects as baseJeff King2012-01-121-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When creating a pack using objects that reside in existing packs, we try to avoid recomputing futile delta between an object (trg) and a candidate for its base object (src) if they are stored in the same packfile, and trg is not recorded as a delta already. This heuristics makes sense because it is likely that we tried to express trg as a delta based on src but it did not produce a good delta when we created the existing pack. As the pack heuristics prefer producing delta to remove data, and Linus's law dictates that the size of a file grows over time, we tend to record the newest version of the file as inflated, and older ones as delta against it. When creating a thin-pack to transfer recent history, it is likely that we will try to send an object that is recorded in full, as it is newer. But the heuristics to avoid recomputing futile delta effectively forbids us from attempting to express such an object as a delta based on another object. Sending an object in full is often more expensive than sending a suboptimal delta based on other objects, and it is even more so if we could use an object we know the receiving end already has (i.e. preferred base object) as the delta base. Tweak the recomputation avoidance logic, so that we do not punt on computing delta against a preferred base object. The effect of this change can be seen on two simulated upload-pack workloads. The first is based on 44 reflog entries from my git.git origin/master reflog, and represents the packs that kernel.org sent me git updates for the past month or two. The second workload represents much larger fetches, going from git's v1.0.0 tag to v1.1.0, then v1.1.0 to v1.2.0, and so on. The table below shows the average generated pack size and the average CPU time consumed for each dataset, both before and after the patch: dataset | reflog | tags --------------------------------- before | 53358 | 2750977 size after | 32398 | 2668479 change | -39% | -3% --------------------------------- before | 0.18 | 1.12 CPU after | 0.18 | 1.15 change | +0% | +3% This patch makes a much bigger difference for packs with a shorter slice of history (since its effect is seen at the boundaries of the pack) though it has some benefit even for larger packs.

* attr: drop misguided defensive codingJeff King2012-01-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In prepare_attr_stack, we pop the old elements of the stack (which were left from a previous lookup and may or may not be useful to us). Our loop to do so checks that we never reach the top of the stack. However, the code immediately afterwards will segfault if we did actually reach the top of the stack. Fortunately, this is not an actual bug, since we will never pop all of the stack elements (we will always keep the root gitattributes, as well as the builtin ones). So the extra check in the loop condition simply clutters the code and makes the intent less clear. Let's get rid of it.

* attr: don't confuse prefixes with leading directoriesJeff King2012-01-102-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we prepare the attribute stack for a lookup on a path, we start with the cached stack from the previous lookup (because it is common to do several lookups in the same directory hierarchy). So the first thing we must do in preparing the stack is to pop any entries that point to directories we are no longer interested in. For example, if our stack contains gitattributes for: foo/bar/baz foo/bar foo but we want to do a lookup in "foo/bar/bleep", then we want to pop the top element, but retain the others. To do this we walk down the stack from the top, popping elements that do not match our lookup directory. However, the test do this simply checked strncmp, meaning we would mistake "foo/bar/baz" as a leading directory of "foo/bar/baz_plus". We must also check that the character after our match is '/', meaning we matched the whole path component. There are two special cases to consider: 1. The top of our attr stack has the empty path. So we must not check for '/', but rather special-case the empty path, which always matches. 2. Typically when matching paths in this way, you would also need to check for a full string match (i.e., the character after is '\0'). We don't need to do so in this case, though, because our path string is actually just the directory component of the path to a file (i.e., we know that it terminates with "/", because the filename comes after that).

| | | | | | | | | | | The wording seems to suggest that creating the directory is needed and the setting of rerere.enabled is only for disabling the feature by setting it to 'false'.

This used to work before 9037026 (unpack-trees: fix sparse checkout's "unable to match directories") because back then, the list of paths is used to match sparse patterns, so with the patterns * !subdir/ subdir/ always matches any path that start with subdir/ and "*" has no chance to get tested. The result is subdir is excluded. After the said commit, a tree structure is dynamically created and sparse pattern matching now follows closely how read_directory() applies .gitignore. This solves one problem, but reveals another one. With this new strategy, "!subdir/" rule will be only tested once when "subdir" directory is examined. Entries inside subdir, when examined, will match "*" and are (correctly) re-added again because any rules without a slash will match at every directory level. In the end, "*" can revert every negation rules. In order to correctly exclude subdir, we must use /* !subdir to limit "match all" rule at top level only. "*" rule has no actual use in sparse checkout and can be confusing to users. While we can automatically turn "*" to "/*", this violates .gitignore definition. Instead, discourage "*" in favor of "/*" (in the second example). Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Currently, the opposite is documented, and (consistently) read-tree's behavior with respect to bit flips is descibed incorrectly. Fix it. In hindsight, it would have been much better to have a "sparse-ignore" or "sparse-skip" file so that an empty file would mean a full checkout, and the file logic would be analogous to that of .gitignore, excludes and skip-worktree.
