* do not check truth value of flex arraysjk/remote-curl-an-array-in-struct-cannot-be-nullJeff King2015-01-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | There is no point in checking "!ref->name" when ref is a "struct ref". The name field is a flex-array, and there always has a non-zero address. This is almost certainly not hurting anything, but it does cause clang-3.6 to complain. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* Smart fetch over HTTP: client sideShawn O. Pearce2009-11-041-4/+65
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports the git-upload-pack service, and if so, runs git-fetch-pack locally in a pipe to generate the want/have commands. The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the discovery are passed into git-fetch-pack before the POST request starts, permitting server capability discovery and enablement. Common objects that are discovered are appended onto the request as have lines and are sent again on the next request. This allows the remote side to reinitialize its in-memory list of common objects during the next request. Because all requests are relatively short, below git-remote-curl's 1 MiB buffer limit, requests will use the standard Content-Length header and be valid HTTP/1.0 POST requests. This makes the fetch client more tolerant of proxy servers which don't support HTTP/1.1 or the chunked transfer encoding. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* Smart push over HTTP: client sideShawn O. Pearce2009-11-041-2/+233
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports the git-receive-pack service, and if so, runs git-send-pack in a pipe to dump the command and pack data as a single POST request. The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request starts. This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified. For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server. The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas created by human authors against text sources with the occasional small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image). The configuration option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this buffer if the default is not sufficient. For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked". This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack file locally. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* Discover refs via smart HTTP server when availableShawn O. Pearce2009-11-041-17/+131
| | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of loading the cached info/refs, try to use the smart HTTP version when the server supports it. Since the smart variant is actually the pkt-line stream from the start of either upload-pack or receive-pack we need to parse these through get_remote_heads, which requires a background thread to feed its pipe.

* Move WebDAV HTTP push under remote-curlShawn O. Pearce2009-10-301-12/+85
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The remote helper interface now supports the push capability, which can be used to ask the implementation to push one or more specs to the remote repository. For remote-curl we implement this by calling the existing WebDAV based git-http-push executable. Internally the helper interface uses the push_refs transport hook so that the complexity of the refspec parsing and matching can be reused between remote implementations. When possible however the helper protocol uses source ref name rather than the source SHA-1, thereby allowing the helper to access this name if it is useful. >From Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at>: update http tests according to remote-curl capabilities o Pushing packed refs is now fixed. o The transport helper fails if refs are already up-to-date. Add a test for that. o The transport helper will notice if refs are already up-to-date. We therefore need to update server info in the unpacked-refs test. o The transport helper will purge deleted branches automatically. o Use a variable ($ORIG_HEAD) instead of full SHA-1 name.

* remote-helpers: Support custom transport optionsShawn O. Pearce2009-10-301-1/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | Some transports, like the native pack transport implemented by fetch-pack, support useful features like depth or include tags. These should be exposed if the underlying helper knows how to use them. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* remote-helpers: Fetch more than one ref in a batchShawn O. Pearce2009-10-301-11/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | Some network protocols (e.g. native git://) are able to fetch more than one ref at a time and reduce the overall transfer cost by combining the requests into a single exchange. Instead of feeding each fetch request one at a time to the helper, feed all of them at once so the helper can decide whether or not it should batch them. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* remote-curl: Refactor walker initializationShawn O. Pearce2009-10-301-10/+14
| | | | | | | | | | We will need the walker, url and remote in other functions as the code grows larger to support smart HTTP. Extract this out into a set of globals we can easily reference once configured. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* clone: Supply the right commit hash to post-checkout when -b is usedBjörn Steinbrink2009-10-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we use -b <branch>, we may checkout something else than what the remote's HEAD references, but we still used remote_head to supply the new ref value to the post-checkout hook, which is wrong. So instead of using remote_head to find the value to be passed to the post-checkout hook, we have to use our_head_points_at, which is always correctly setup, even if -b is not used. This also fixes a segfault when "clone -b <branch>" is used with a remote repo that doesn't have a valid HEAD, as in such a case remote_head is NULL, but we still tried to access it.

* remote-curl: add missing initialization of argv0_pathJohannes Sixt2009-10-131-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | All programs, in particular also the stand-alone programs (non-builtins) must call git_extract_argv0_path(argv[0]) in order to help builds that derive the installation prefix at runtime, such as the MinGW build. Without this call, the program segfaults (or raises an assertion failure).
