* each_ref_fn: change to take an object_id parameterMichael Haggerty2015-05-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change typedef each_ref_fn to take a "const struct object_id *oid" parameter instead of "const unsigned char *sha1". To aid this transition, implement an adapter that can be used to wrap old-style functions matching the old typedef, which is now called "each_ref_sha1_fn"), and make such functions callable via the new interface. This requires the old function and its cb_data to be wrapped in a "struct each_ref_fn_sha1_adapter", and that object to be used as the cb_data for an adapter function, each_ref_fn_adapter(). This is an enormous diff, but most of it consists of simple, mechanical changes to the sites that call any of the "for_each_ref" family of functions. Subsequent to this change, the call sites can be rewritten one by one to use the new interface.

| * | lock_packed_refs(): allow retries when acquiring the packed-refs lockmh/lockfile-retryMichael Haggerty2015-05-141-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, there is only one attempt to acquire any lockfile, and if the lock is held by another process, the locking attempt fails immediately. This is not such a limitation for loose reference files. First, they don't take long to rewrite. Second, most reference updates have a known "old" value, so if another process is updating a reference at the same moment that we are trying to lock it, then probably the expected "old" value will not longer be valid, and the update will fail anyway. But these arguments do not hold for packed-refs: * The packed-refs file can be large and take significant time to rewrite. * Many references are stored in a single packed-refs file, so it could be that the other process was changing a different reference than the one that we are interested in. Therefore, it is much more likely for there to be spurious lock conflicts in connection to the packed-refs file, resulting in unnecessary command failures. So, if the first attempt to lock the packed-refs file fails, continue retrying for a configurable length of time before giving up. The default timeout is 1 second.

And as it's sugar that AsciiDoctor doesn't understand, it would be nice to avoid it. Since there are only two spots, and the resulting source is not significantly harder to read, it's worth doing. Note that this does slightly affect the generated HTML (it has an extra newline), but the rendered result for both HTML and docbook should be the same (since the newline is not syntactically significant there).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Text like "{foo}" triggers an AsciiDoc attribute; we have to write "\{foo}" to suppress this. But when the "foo" is not a syntactically valid attribute, we can skip the quoting. This makes the source nicer to read, and looks better under Asciidoctor. With AsciiDoc itself, this patch produces no changes. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

According to 565e135 (Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc, 2011-06-29), this is fixed in AsciiDoc 8.3.0. According to bf17126, we don't support anything older than 8.4.1 anyway, so we no longer need to worry about quoting. Even though this does not change the output at all, there are a few good reasons to drop the quoting: 1. It makes the source prettier to read. 2. We don't quote consistently, which may be confusing when reading the source. 3. Asciidoctor does not like the quoting, and renders a literal backslash.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Curly braces open an "attribute" in AsciiDoc; if there's no such attribute, strange things may happen. In this case, the unquoted "{type}" causes AsciiDoc to omit an entire line of text from the output. We can fix it by putting the whole phrase inside literal backticks (which also lets us get rid of ugly backslash escaping).

We can work around this by switching the latter to be a literal, as well. In the first case, this is perhaps what was intended anyway, as it makes us consistent with the the earlier literals in the same paragraph. In the second, the output is arguably better, as we will format our commit references as <code> blocks. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Make "git merge FETCH_HEAD" to be the same as the traditional git merge "$(git fmt-merge-msg <.git/FETCH_HEAD)" $commits invocation of the command in "git pull", where $commits are the ones that appear in FETCH_HEAD that are not marked as not-for-merge, by making it do a bit more, specifically: - noticing "FETCH_HEAD" is the only "commit" on the command line and picking the commits that are not marked as not-for-merge as the list of commits to be merged (substitute for step #1 above); - letting the resulting list fed to step #2 above; - doing the step #3 above, using the contents of the FETCH_HEAD instead of fake contents crafted from the list of commits parsed in the step #1 above. Note that this changes the semantics. "git merge FETCH_HEAD" has always behaved as if the first commit in the FETCH_HEAD file were directly specified on the command line, creating a two-way merge whose auto-generated merge log said "merge commit xyz". With this change, if the previous fetch was to grab multiple branches (e.g. "git fetch $there topic-a topic-b"), the new world order is to create an octopus, behaving as if "git pull $there topic-a topic-b" were run. This is a deliberate change to make that happen, and can be seen in the changes to t3033 tests. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

But we have not reached an agreement how things should be. There are a couple options. - You may want to keep $SUB repos elsewhere (perhaps in a central place) outside $SUPER. This is also true for nested submodules where a superproject may be a submodule of another superproject. - You may want to keep all $SUB repos in $SUPER/modules (or some other place in $SUPER) - We could even push it further and merge all $SUB repos into $SUPER instead of storing them separately. But that would at least require ref namespace enabled. On top of that, git-submodule.sh expects $GIT_DIR/config to be per-worktree, at least for the submodule.* part. Here I think we have two options, either update config.c to also read $GIT_DIR/config.worktree (which is per worktree) in addition to $GIT_DIR/config (shared) and store worktree-specific vars in the new place, or update git-submodule.sh to read/write submodule.* directly from $GIT_DIR/config.submodule (per worktree). These take time to address properly. Meanwhile, make a note to the user that they should not use multiple worktrees in submodule context.

So they should be separated. It looks logical to make submodule instances in different working directories to reuse the submodule directory in the common dir of the main repository, and probably this is how "checkout --to" should initialize them called on the main repository, but they also should work fine being completely separated clones. Testfile t7410-submodule-checkout-to.sh demostrates the behavior.

The use case is auto fixup after a manual checkout move. - linked checkouts are supposed to update mtime of $R/gitdir. If $R/gitdir's mtime is older than a limit, and it points to nowhere, worktrees/<id> is to be pruned. - If $R/locked exists, worktrees/<id> is not supposed to be pruned. If $R/locked exists and $R/gitdir's mtime is older than a really long limit, warn about old unused repo. - "git checkout --to" is supposed to make a hard link named $R/link pointing to the .git file on supported file systems to help detect the user manually deleting the checkout. If $R/link exists and its link count is greated than 1, the repo is kept.

It then executes "git checkout" again on the new worktree with the same arguments except "--to" is taken out. The second checkout execution, which is not contaminated with any info from the current repository, will actually check out and everything that normal "git checkout" does.
