* hold_locked_index(): align error handling with hold_lockfile_for_update()Junio C Hamano2016-12-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Callers of the hold_locked_index() function pass 0 when they want to prepare to write a new version of the index file without wishing to die or emit an error message when the request fails (e.g. somebody else already held the lock), and pass 1 when they want the call to die upon failure. This option is called LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR by the underlying lockfile API, and the hold_locked_index() function translates the paramter to LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR when calling the hold_lock_file_for_update(). Replace these hardcoded '1' with LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR and stop translating. Callers other than the ones that are replaced with this change pass '0' to the function; no behaviour change is intended with this patch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> --- Among the callers of hold_locked_index() that passes 0: - diff.c::refresh_index_quietly() at the end of "git diff" is an opportunistic update; it leaks the lockfile structure but it is just before the program exits and nobody should care. - builtin/describe.c::cmd_describe(), builtin/commit.c::cmd_status(), sequencer.c::read_and_refresh_cache() are all opportunistic updates and they are OK. - builtin/update-index.c::cmd_update_index() takes a lock upfront but we may end up not needing to update the index (i.e. the entries may be fully up-to-date), in which case we do not need to issue an error upon failure to acquire the lock. We do diagnose and die if we indeed need to update, so it is OK. - wt-status.c::require_clean_work_tree() IS BUGGY. It asks silence, does not check the returned value. Compare with callsites like cmd_describe() and cmd_status() to notice that it is wrong to call update_index_if_able() unconditionally.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Parsing `git apply` options can be useful to other commands that want to call the libified apply functionality, because this way they can easily pass some options from their own command line to the libified apply functionality. This will be used by `git am` in a following patch. To make this possible, let's refactor the `git apply` option parsing code into a new libified apply_parse_options() function. Doing that makes it possible to remove some functions definitions from "apply.h" and make them static in "apply.c".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To avoid printing anything when applying with `state->apply_verbosity == verbosity_silent`, let's save the existing warn and error routines before applying, and let's replace them with a routine that does nothing.

* | apply: don't print on stdout in verbosity_silent modeChristian Couder2016-09-071-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When apply_verbosity is set to verbosity_silent nothing should be printed on both stderr and stdout. To avoid printing on stdout, we can just skip calling the following functions: - stat_patch_list(), - numstat_patch_list(), - summary_patch_list(). It is safe to do that because the above functions have no side effects other than printing: - stat_patch_list() only computes some local values and then call show_stats() and print_stat_summary(), those two functions only compute local values and call printing functions, - numstat_patch_list() also only computes local values and calls printing functions, - summary_patch_list() calls show_file_mode_name(), printf(), show_rename_copy(), show_mode_change() that are only printing.

* | apply: make it possible to silently applyChristian Couder2016-09-071-22/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes 'int apply_verbosely' into 'enum apply_verbosity', and changes the possible values of the variable from a bool to a tristate. The previous 'false' state is changed into 'verbosity_normal'. The previous 'true' state is changed into 'verbosity_verbose'. The new added state is 'verbosity_silent'. It should prevent anything to be printed on both stderr and stdout. This is needed because `git am` wants to first call apply functionality silently, if it can then fall back on 3-way merge in case of error. Printing on stdout, and calls to warning() or error() are not taken care of in this patch, as that will be done in following patches.

It implies --full-index and -p. * "apply --allow-binary-replacement" acquired a short synonym "apply --binary". * After the "GIT binary patch\n" header line there is a token to record which binary patch mechanism was used, so that we can extend it later. Currently there are two mechanisms defined: "literal" and "delta". The former records the deflated postimage and the latter records the deflated delta from the preimage to postimage. For purely implementation convenience, I added the deflated length after these "literal/delta" tokens (otherwise the decoding side needs to guess and reallocate the buffer while inflating). Improvement patches are very welcomed. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

On the diff generation side, traditionally, we said "Binary files differ\n" without giving anything other than the preimage and postimage object name on the index line. This was good enough for applying a patch generated from your own repository (very useful while rebasing), because the postimage would be available in such a case. However, this was not useful when the recipient of such a patch via e-mail were to apply it, even if the preimage was available. This patch allows the diff to generate "binary" patch when operating under --full-index option. The binary patch follows the usual extended git diff headers, and looks like this: "GIT binary patch\n" <length byte><data>"\n" ... "\n" Each line is prefixed with a "length-byte", whose value is upper or lowercase alphabet that encodes number of bytes that the data on the line decodes to (1..52 -- 'A' means 1, 'B' means 2, ..., 'Z' means 26, 'a' means 27, ...). <data> is 1 or more groups of 5-byte sequence, each of which encodes up to 4 bytes in base85 encoding. Because 52 / 4 * 5 = 65 and we have the length byte, an output line is capped to 66 characters. The payload is the same diff-delta as we use in the packfiles. On the consumption side, git-apply now can decode and apply the binary patch when --allow-binary-replacement is given, the diff was generated with --full-index, and the receiving repository has the preimage blob, which is the same condition as it always required when accepting an "Binary files differ\n" patch.

* Implement limited context matching in git-apply.Eric W. Biederman2006-04-101-18/+105
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ok this really should be the good version. The option handling has been reworked to be automation safe. Currently to import the -mm tree I have to work around git-apply by using patch. Because some of Andrews patches in quilt will only apply with fuzz. I started out implementing a --fuzz option and then I realized fuzz is not a very safe concept for an automated system. What you really want is a minimum number of context lines that must match. This allows policy to be set without knowing how many lines of context a patch actually provides. By default the policy remains to match all provided lines of context. Allowng git-apply to match a restricted set of context makes it much easier to import the -mm tree into git. I am still only processing 1.5 to 1.6 patches a second for the 692 patches in 2.6.17-rc1-mm2 is still painful but it does help. If I just loop through all of Andrews patches in order and run git-apply --index -C1 I process the entire patchset in 1m53s or about 6 patches per second. So running git-mailinfo, git-write-tree, git-commit-tree, and git-update-ref everytime has a measurable impact, and shows things can be speeded up even more. All of these timings were taking on my poor 700Mhz Athlon with 512MB of ram. So people with fast machiens should see much better performance. When a match is found after the number of context are reduced a warning is generated. Since this is a rare event and possibly dangerous this seems to make sense. Unless you are patching a single file the error message is a little bit terse at the moment, but it should be easy to go back and fix. I have also updated the documentation for git-apply to reflect the new -C option that sets the minimum number of context lines that must match. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Now, this doesn't actually _matter_, since with a three-line context, the only case that "x,1" will be shorthanded to "x" is when x itself is 1 (in which case git-apply got it right), but the fact that git-apply would also silently accept truncated patches was a missed opportunity for additional sanity-checking.

This doesn't do the "strip-then-apply" thing, but it allows you to make git-apply generate a warning or error on extraneous whitespace. Use --whitespace=warn to warn, and (surprise, surprise) --whitespace=error to make it a fatal error to have whitespace at the end. Totally untested, of course. But it compiles, so it must be fine. HOWEVER! Note that this literally will check every single patch-line with "+" at the beginning. Which means that if you fix a simple typo, and the line had a space at the end before, and you didn't remove it, that's still considered a "new line with whitespace at the end", even though obviously the line wasn't really new. I assume this is what you wanted, and there isn't really any sane alternatives (you could make the warning activate only for _pure_ additions with no deletions at all in that hunk, but that sounds a bit insane).

On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name to be in the next commit. You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the CE_VALID bit: git-update-index --assume-unchanged path... git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path... These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change the object name recorded in the index file. Nor they add a new entry to the index. When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set, the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically after: - update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the index file. - when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date. - when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working tree file and register the current object name to the index file. The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index entry. This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings. Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be unchanged most of the time. However, there are cases that CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability: - while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure that the paths involved in the merge do not have local modifications. This sacrifices performance for safety. - when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs to checkout the paths. Otherwise you can never check anything out ;-). - when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to see if the index entry is up to date. You can start with everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified. Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path". This version is not expected to be perfect. I think diff between index and/or tree and working files may need some adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID. But the basics seem to work, and ready to be tested by people who asked for this feature. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

|/ | | | | | | | | | Some versions of diff do not correctly detect a missing new-line at the end of the file under certain circumstances. When defining NO_ACCURATE_DIFF, work around this bug.

* Use sha1_file.c's mkdir-like routine in apply.c.Jason Riedy2006-02-031-21/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As far as I can see, create_subdirectories() in apply.c just duplicates the functionality of safe_create_leading_directories() from sha1_file.c. The former has a warm, fuzzy const parameter, but that's not important. The potential problem with EEXIST and creating directories should never occur here, but will be removed by future safe_create_leading_directories() changes. Other uses of EEXIST in apply.c should be fine barring intentionally malicious behavior. Signed-off-by: Jason Riedy <ejr@cs.berkeley.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| | | | | | | | | | We had errno==EINTR check after read(2)/write(2) sprinkled all over the places, always doing continue. Consolidate them into xread()/xwrite() wrapper routines. Credits for suggestion goes to HPA -- bugs are mine. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
