* fetch-pack: test cases for the new --stdin optionIvan Todoroski2012-04-101-0/+66
| | | | | | | | | | | These test cases focus only on testing the parsing of refs on stdin, without bothering with the rest of the fetch-pack machinery. We pass in the refs using different combinations of command line and stdin and then we watch fetch-pack's stdout to see whether it prints all the refs we specified (but we ignore their order).

| | | | | | | | | Now that we can throw an arbitrary number of refs at fetch-pack using its --stdin option, we use it in the remote-curl helper to bypass the OS command line length limit. Signed-off-by: Ivan Todoroski <grnch@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* fetch-pack: new --stdin option to read refs from stdinIvan Todoroski2012-04-023-1/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a remote repo has too many tags (or branches), cloning it over the smart HTTP transport can fail because remote-curl.c puts all the refs from the remote repo on the fetch-pack command line. This can make the command line longer than the global OS command line limit, causing fetch-pack to fail. This is especially a problem on Windows where the command line limit is orders of magnitude shorter than Linux. There are already real repos out there that msysGit cannot clone over smart HTTP due to this problem. Here is an easy way to trigger this problem: git init too-many-refs cd too-many-refs echo bla > bla.txt git add . git commit -m test sha=$(git rev-parse HEAD) tag=$(perl -e 'print "bla" x 30') for i in `seq 50000`; do echo $sha refs/tags/$tag-$i >> .git/packed-refs done Then share this repo over the smart HTTP protocol and try cloning it: $ git clone http://localhost/.../too-many-refs/.git Cloning into 'too-many-refs'... fatal: cannot exec 'fetch-pack': Argument list too long 50k tags is obviously an absurd number, but it is required to demonstrate the problem on Linux because it has a much more generous command line limit. On Windows the clone fails with as little as 500 tags in the above loop, which is getting uncomfortably close to the number of tags you might see in real long lived repos. This is not just theoretical, msysGit is already failing to clone our company repo due to this. It's a large repo converted from CVS, nearly 10 years of history. Four possible solutions were discussed on the Git mailing list (in no particular order): 1) Call fetch-pack multiple times with smaller batches of refs. This was dismissed as inefficient and inelegant. 2) Add option --refs-fd=$n to pass a an fd from where to read the refs. This was rejected because inheriting descriptors other than stdin/stdout/stderr through exec() is apparently problematic on Windows, plus it would require changes to the run-command API to open extra pipes. 3) Add option --refs-from=$tmpfile to pass the refs using a temp file. This was not favored because of the temp file requirement. 4) Add option --stdin to pass the refs on stdin, one per line. In the end this option was chosen as the most efficient and most desirable from scripting perspective. There was however a small complication when using stdin to pass refs to fetch-pack. The --stateless-rpc option to fetch-pack also uses stdin for communication with the remote server. If we are going to sneak refs on stdin line by line, it would have to be done very carefully in the presence of --stateless-rpc, because when reading refs line by line we might read ahead too much data into our buffer and eat some of the remote protocol data which is also coming on stdin. One way to solve this would be to refactor get_remote_heads() in fetch-pack.c to accept a residual buffer from our stdin line parsing above, but this function is used in several places so other callers would be burdened by this residual buffer interface even when most of them don't need it. In the end we settled on the following solution: If --stdin is specified without --stateless-rpc, fetch-pack would read the refs from stdin one per line, in a script friendly format. However if --stdin is specified together with --stateless-rpc, fetch-pack would read the refs from stdin in packetized format (pkt-line) with a flush packet terminating the list of refs. This way we can read the exact number of bytes that we need from stdin, and then get_remote_heads() can continue reading from the same fd without losing a single byte of remote protocol data. This way the --stdin option only loses generality and scriptability when used together with --stateless-rpc, which is not easily scriptable anyway because it also uses pkt-line when talking to the remote server.

* git-completion: workaround zsh COMPREPLY bugFelipe Contreras2012-01-261-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | zsh adds a backslash (foo\ ) for each item in the COMPREPLY array if IFS doesn't contain spaces. This issue has been reported[1], but there is no solution yet. This wasn't a problem due to another bug[2], which was fixed in zsh version 4.3.12. After this change, 'git checkout ma<tab>' would resolve to 'git checkout master\ '. Aditionally, the introduction of __gitcomp_nl in commit a31e626 (completion: optimize refs completion) in git also made the problem apparent, as Matthieu Moy reported. The simplest and most generic solution is to hide all the changes we do to IFS, so that "foo \nbar " is recognized by zsh as "foo bar". This works on versions of git before and after the introduction of __gitcomp_nl (a31e626), and versions of zsh before and after 4.3.12. Once zsh is fixed, we should conditionally disable this workaround to have the same benefits as bash users.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The pathspec structure has a few bits of data to drive various operation modes after we unified the pathspec matching logic in various codepaths. For example, max_depth field is there so that "git grep" can limit the output for files found in limited depth of tree traversal. Also in order to show just the surface level differences in "git diff-tree", recursive field stops us from descending into deeper level of the tree structure when it is set to false, and this also affects pathspec matching when we have wildcards in the pathspec. The diff-index has always wanted the recursive behaviour, and wanted to match pathspecs without any depth limit. But we forgot to do so when we updated tree_entry_interesting() logic to unify the pathspec matching logic.

Originally, a failure to do so was silently ignored, and we would either give up (if performing a "get" or "erase" operation), or spawn a new daemon (for a "store" operation). But since 8ec6c8d, we try to report more errors. We detect a missing daemon by checking for ENOENT on our connection attempt. If the daemon is missing, we continue as before (giving up or spawning a new daemon). For any other error, we die and report the problem. However, checking for ENOENT is not sufficient for a missing daemon. We might also get ECONNREFUSED if a dead daemon process left a stale socket. This generally shouldn't happen, as the daemon cleans up after itself, but the daemon may not always be given a chance to do so (e.g., power loss, "kill -9"). The resulting state is annoying not just because the helper outputs an extra useless message, but because it actually blocks the helper from spawning a new daemon to replace the stale socket. Fix it by checking for ECONNREFUSED. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Unfortunately the error path involves a few system calls itself, such as close(), that can themselves touch errno. This is not as worrisome as it might sound. If close() fails, this just means substituting one meaningful error message for another, which is perfectly fine. However, when the call _succeeds_, it is allowed to (and sometimes might) clobber errno along the way with some undefined value, so it is good higiene to save errno and restore it immediately before returning to the caller.

The idea was that it was simply a cache, and we didn't want to bother the user with temporary failures (the worst case is that we would simply ask their password again). However, if you have a configuration failure or other problem, it is helpful for the daemon to report those problems. Git will happily ignore the failed error code, but the extra information to stderr can help the user diagnose the problem.

Even on Linux, it is only 108 characters. A user of the credential-cache daemon can easily surpass this, especially if their home directory is in a deep directory tree (since the default location expands ~/.git-credentials). We can hack around this in the unix-socket.[ch] code by doing a chdir() to the enclosing directory, feeding the relative basename to the socket functions, and then restoring the working directory. This introduces several new possible error cases for creating a socket, including an irrecoverable one in the case that we can't restore the working directory. In the case of the credential-cache code, we could perhaps get away with simply chdir()-ing to the socket directory and never coming back. However, I'd rather do it at the lower level for a few reasons: 1. It keeps the hackery behind an opaque interface instead of polluting the main program logic. 2. A hack in credential-cache won't help any unix-socket users who come along later. 3. The chdir trickery isn't that likely to fail (basically it's only a problem if your cwd is missing or goes away while you're running). And because we only enable the hack when we get a too-long name, it can only fail in cases that would have failed under the previous code anyway.

Giving "origin" (most of the time it resolves to refs/remotes/origin/master) as the start argument is often convenient, but it is usually not the fork point, and does not help the integrator at all. Use the real fork point, which is the merge base we already compute, when composing that part of the message. Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

It doesn't; on the contrary, one of the important jobs of mailinfo is to remove those strings. Since we're already there, rewrite the paragraph to give a complete enumeration of all the transformations. Specifically, it was missing the whitespace normalization (run of isspace(c) -> ' ') and the removal of leading ':'.

So explicitly convert to an MSYS-style path before calling Perl's rel2abs() to make it work.

Note that while using $PWD as part of GIT_DIR is not required here, it does no harm and it is more consistent. In addition, on MSYS using an environment variable should be slightly faster than spawning an external executable.

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.
