* gitattributes: -crlf is not binaryJunio C Hamano2008-08-301-3/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The description of crlf attribute incorrectly said that "-crlf" means binary. It is true that for binary files you would want "-crlf", but that is not the same thing. We also have supported attribute macros and via that mechanism a handy "binary" to specify "-crlf -diff" at the same time. It was not documented anywhere as far as I can tell, even though the support was there from the very beginning. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* git-apply: Loosen "match_beginning" logicJunio C Hamano2008-08-302-4/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Even after a handfle attempts, match_beginning logic still has corner cases: 1bf1a85 (apply: treat EOF as proper context., 2006-05-23) 65aadb9 (apply: force matching at the beginning., 2006-05-24) 4be6096 (apply --unidiff-zero: loosen sanity checks ..., 2006-09-17) ee5a317 (Fix "git apply" to correctly enforce "match ..., 2008-04-06) This is a tricky piece of code. We still incorrectly enforce "match_beginning" for -U0 matches. I noticed this while trying out an example sequence from Clemens Buchacher: $ echo a >victim $ git add victim $ echo b >>victim $ git diff -U0 >patch $ cat patch diff --git i/victim w/victim index 7898192..422c2b7 100644 --- i/victim +++ w/victim @@ -1,0 +2 @@ a +b $ git apply --cached --unidiff-zero <patch $ git show :victim b a The change inserts a new line before the second line, but we insist it to be applied at the beginning. As the result, the code refuses to apply it at the original offset, and we end up adding the line at the beginning. Updates to the test script are by Clemens Buchacher.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we are building a thin pack and one of the base objects we would consider for deltification is missing its OK, the other side already has that base object. We may be able to get a delta from another object, or we can simply send the new object whole (no delta). This change allows a shallow clone to store only the objects which are unique to it, as well as the boundary commit and its trees, but avoids storing the boundary blobs. This special form of a shallow clone is able to represent just the difference between two trees. Pack objects change suggested by Nicolas Pitre. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We make hardlinks from "git" to "git-<cmd>" built-ins and have been careful to avoid cross-device links when linking "git-<cmd>" to gitexecdir. However, we were not prepared to deal with a build directory that is incapable of making hard links within itself. This patch corrects it. Instead of temporarily linking "git" to gitexecdir, directly link "git- add", falling back to "cp". Try hardlinking that as "git-<cmd>", falling back to symlinks or "cp" on error. While at it, avoid 100+ error messages from hardlink failures when we are going to fall back to symlinks or "cp" by redirecting the standard error to /dev/null.

* | | | make git-shell paranoid about closed stdin/stdout/stderrPaolo Bonzini2008-08-291-0/+13

Karl Chen for example noticed that stat_command does this in order to rename a pipe file descriptor to 0: dup2(from, 0); close(from); ... but if stdin was closed (for example) from == 0, so that dup2(0, 0); close(0); just ends up closing the pipe. Another extremely rare but nasty problem would occur if an "important" file ends up in file descriptor 2, and is corrupted by a call to die(). Fixing this in git was considered to be overkill, so this patch works around it only for git-shell. The fix is simply to open all the "low" descriptors to /dev/null in main.

The sorting means that all files are nicely grouped by directory. That all works fine. Except when we have rename detection, and suddenly the nicely sorted list of pathnames isn't all that sorted at all. And now the single-pass dirstat walk gets all confused, and you can get results like this: [torvalds@nehalem linux]$ git diff --dirstat=2 -M v2.6.27-rc4..v2.6.27-rc5 3.0% arch/powerpc/configs/ 6.8% arch/arm/configs/ 2.7% arch/powerpc/configs/ 4.2% arch/arm/configs/ 5.6% arch/powerpc/configs/ 8.4% arch/arm/configs/ 5.5% arch/powerpc/configs/ 23.3% arch/arm/configs/ 8.6% arch/powerpc/configs/ 4.0% arch/ 4.4% drivers/usb/musb/ 4.0% drivers/watchdog/ 7.6% drivers/ 3.5% fs/ The trivial fix is to add a sorting pass, fixing it to: [torvalds@nehalem linux]$ git diff --dirstat=2 -M v2.6.27-rc4..v2.6.27-rc5 43.0% arch/arm/configs/ 25.5% arch/powerpc/configs/ 5.3% arch/ 4.4% drivers/usb/musb/ 4.0% drivers/watchdog/ 7.6% drivers/ 3.5% fs/ Spot the difference.

The "-i" is completely ignored, but works fine in "git log --grep -i". What happens is that the code for "-i" looks for revs->grep_filter; if it is NULL, we do nothing, since there are no grep filters. But that is obviously not correct, since we want it to influence the later --grep option. Doing it the other way around works, since "-i" just impacts the existing grep_filter option. Instead, we now always initialize the grep_filter member and just fill in options and patterns as we get them. This means that we can no longer check grep_filter for NULL, but instead must check the pattern list to see if we have any actual patterns.

Incidentally, this failure to read the index upfront means that the safety to refuse doing anything when the index is unmerged does not kick in, either. These two problem are fixed by using read_cache_unmerged() that does read the index before checking if it is unmerged at the beginning of cmd_merge(). The primary logic of the merge, however, assumes that the process never reads the index in-core, and the call to write_cache_as_tree() it makes from write_tree_trivial() will always read from the on-disk index that is prepared the strategy back-ends. This assumption is now broken by the above fix. To fix this issue, we now call discard_cache() before calling write_tree_trivial() when it wants to write the on-disk index as a tree. When multiple strategies are tried, their results are evaluated by reading the resulting index and inspecting it. The codepath needs to make a call to read_cache() for each successful strategy, and for that to work, they need to discard_cache() the one read by the previous round. Also the "trivial merge" forgot that the current commit is one of the parents of the resulting commit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The resulting in-core index is Ok for most use, but read_cache() does not recognize it as such. The function is meant to be no-op if you already have loaded the index, until you call discard_cache(). This change the way read_cache() detects an already initialized in-core index, by introducing an extra bit, and marks the handcrafted in-core index as initialized, to avoid this problem. A better fix in the longer term would be to change the read_cache() API so that it will always discard and re-read from the on-disk index to avoid confusion. But there are higher level API that have relied on the current semantics, and they and their users all need to get converted, which is outside the scope of 'maint' track. An example of such a higher level API is write_cache_as_tree(), which is used by git-write-tree as well as later Porcelains like git-merge, revert and cherry-pick. In the longer term, we should remove read_cache() from there and add one to cmd_write_tree(); other callers expect that the in-core index they prepared is what gets written as a tree so no other change is necessary for this particular codepath. The original version of this patch marked the index by pointing an otherwise wasted malloc'ed memory with o->result.alloc, but this version uses Linus's idea to use a new "initialized" bit, which is conceptually much cleaner.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some platforms provide a horribly broken snprintf. More broken than the platforms that return -1 when there is too little space in the target buffer for the formatted string. Some platforms provide an snprintf which _always_ returns the number of characters transmitted to the buffer, regardless of whether there was enough space or not. IRIX 6.5 is such a platform. IRIX does have a working snprintf(), but it is only provided when _NO_XOPEN5 evaluates to zero, and this only happens if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, but definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE prevents inclusion of many other common functions and defines. So it must be avoided. Work around these horribly broken snprintf implementations by detecting an snprintf call which results in the number of transmitted characters exactly equal to the length of our buffer and retrying with a larger buffer just to be safe.

* | Add hints to revert documentation about other ways to undo changesTarmigan Casebolt2008-08-201-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on its name, people may read the 'git revert' documentation when they want to undo local changes, especially people who have used other SCM's. 'git revert' may not be what they had in mind, but git provides several other ways to undo changes to files. We can help them by pointing them towards the git commands that do what they might want to do.

* | Install templates with the user and group of the installing personalityJohannes Sixt2008-08-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If 'make install' was run with sufficient privileges, then the installed templates, which are copied using 'tar', would receive the user and group of whoever built git. This instructs 'tar' to ignore the user and group that are recorded in the archive. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* | "git-merge": allow fast-forwarding in a stat-dirty treeJunio C Hamano2008-08-202-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We used to refresh the index to clear stat-dirtyness before a fast-forward merge. Recent C rewrite forgot to do this. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* | completion: find out supported merge strategies correctlyJunio C Hamano2008-08-201-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "git-merge" is a binary executable these days, and looking for assignment to $all_strategies variable with grep/sed does not work well. When asked for an unknown strategy, pre-1.6.0 and post-1.6.0 "git merge" commands respectively say: $ $HOME/git-snap-v1.5.6.5/bin/git merge -s help available strategies are: recur recursive octopus resolve stupid ours subtree $ $HOME/git-snap-v1.6.0/bin/git merge -s help Could not find merge strategy 'help'. Available strategies are: recursive octopus resolve ours subtree. both on their standard error stream. We can use this to learn what strategies are supported. The sed script is written in such a way that it catches both old and new message styles ("Available" vs "available", and the full stop at the end). It also allows future versions of "git merge" to line-wrap the list of strategies, and add extra comments, like this: $ $HOME/git-snap-v1.6.1/bin/git merge -s help Could not find merge strategy 'help'. Available strategies are: blame recursive octopus resolve ours subtree. Also you have custom strategies: theirs Make sure you spell strategy names correctly.

* | decorate: allow const objects to be decoratedJeff King2008-08-202-8/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't actually modify the struct object, so there is no reason not to accept const versions (and this allows other callsites, like the next patch, to use the decoration machinery).

* | for-each-ref: cope with tags with incomplete linesJunio C Hamano2008-08-202-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you have a tag with a single, incomplete line as its payload, asking git-for-each-ref for its %(body) element accessed a NULL pointer. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* | diff --check: do not get confused by new blank lines in the middleJunio C Hamano2008-08-202-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code remembered that the last diff output it saw was an empty line, and tried to reset that state whenever it sees a context line, a non-blank new line, or a new hunk. However, this codepath asks the underlying diff engine to feed diff without any context, and the "just saw an empty line" state was not reset if you added a new blank line in the last hunk of your patch, even if it is not the last line of the file.

* | mailinfo: avoid violating strbuf assertionJeff King2008-08-194-1/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In handle_from, we calculate the end boundary of a section to remove from a strbuf using strcspn like this: el = strcspn(buf, set_of_end_boundaries); strbuf_remove(&sb, start, el + 1); This works fine if "el" is the offset of the boundary character, meaning we remove up to and including that character. But if the end boundary didn't match (that is, we hit the end of the string as the boundary instead) then we want just "el". Asking for "el+1" caught an out-of-bounds assertion in the strbuf library. This manifested itself when we got a 'From' header that had just an email address with nothing else in it (the end of the string was the end of the address, rather than, e.g., a trailing '>' character), causing git-mailinfo to barf.
