* pkt-line: share buffer/descriptor reading implementationJeff King2013-02-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The packet_read function reads from a descriptor. The packet_get_line function is similar, but reads from an in-memory buffer, and uses a completely separate implementation. This patch teaches the generic packet_read function to accept either source, and we can do away with packet_get_line's implementation. There are two other differences to account for between the old and new functions. The first is that we used to read into a strbuf, but now read into a fixed size buffer. The only two callers are fine with that, and in fact it simplifies their code, since they can use the same static-buffer interface as the rest of the packet_read_line callers (and we provide a similar convenience wrapper for reading from a buffer rather than a descriptor). This is technically an externally-visible behavior change in that we used to accept arbitrary sized packets up to 65532 bytes, and now cap out at LARGE_PACKET_MAX, 65520. In practice this doesn't matter, as we use it only for parsing smart-http headers (of which there is exactly one defined, and it is small and fixed-size). And any extension headers would be breaking the protocol to go over LARGE_PACKET_MAX anyway. The other difference is that packet_get_line would return on error rather than dying. However, both callers of packet_get_line are actually improved by dying. The first caller does its own error checking, but we can drop that; as a result, we'll actually get more specific reporting about protocol breakage when packet_read dies internally. The only downside is that packet_read will not print the smart-http URL that failed, but that's not a big deal; anybody not debugging can already see the remote's URL already, and anybody debugging would want to run with GIT_CURL_VERBOSE anyway to see way more information. The second caller, which is just trying to skip past any extra smart-http headers (of which there are none defined, but which we allow to keep room for future expansion), did not error check at all. As a result, it would treat an error just like a flush packet. The resulting mess would generally cause an error later in get_remote_heads, but now we get error reporting much closer to the source of the problem.

* pkt-line: teach packet_read_line to chomp newlinesJeff King2013-02-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The packets sent during ref negotiation are all terminated by newline; even though the code to chomp these newlines is short, we end up doing it in a lot of places. This patch teaches packet_read_line to auto-chomp the trailing newline; this lets us get rid of a lot of inline chomping code. As a result, some call-sites which are not reading line-oriented data (e.g., when reading chunks of packfiles alongside sideband) transition away from packet_read_line to the generic packet_read interface. This patch converts all of the existing callsites. Since the function signature of packet_read_line does not change (but its behavior does), there is a possibility of new callsites being introduced in later commits, silently introducing an incompatibility. However, since a later patch in this series will change the signature, such a commit would have to be merged directly into this commit, not to the tip of the series; we can therefore ignore the issue. This is an internal cleanup and should produce no change of behavior in the normal case. However, there is one corner case to note. Callers of packet_read_line have never been able to tell the difference between a flush packet ("0000") and an empty packet ("0004"), as both cause packet_read_line to return a length of 0. Readers treat them identically, even though Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt says we must not; it also says that implementations should not send an empty pkt-line. By stripping out the newline before the result gets to the caller, we will now treat the newline-only packet ("0005\n") the same as an empty packet, which in turn gets treated like a flush packet. In practice this doesn't matter, as neither empty nor newline-only packets are part of git's protocols (at least not for the line-oriented bits, and readers who are not expecting line-oriented packets will be calling packet_read directly, anyway). But even if we do decide to care about the distinction later, it is orthogonal to this patch. The right place to tighten would be to stop treating empty packets as flush packets, and this change does not make doing so any harder.

* pkt-line: drop safe_write functionJeff King2013-02-201-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | This is just write_or_die by another name. The one distinction is that write_or_die will treat EPIPE specially by suppressing error messages. That's fine, as we die by SIGPIPE anyway (and in the off chance that it is disabled, write_or_die will simulate it).

* Smart push over HTTP: client sideShawn O. Pearce2009-11-041-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* recv_sideband: Bands #2 and #3 always go to stderrJohannes Sixt2009-03-101-11/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes the last parameter of recv_sideband, by which the callers told which channel bands #2 and #3 should be written to. Sayeth Shawn Pearce: The definition of the streams in the current sideband protocol are rather well defined for the one protocol that uses it, fetch-pack/receive-pack: stream #1: pack data stream #2: stderr messages, progress, meant for tty stream #3: abort message, remote is dead, goodbye! Since both callers of the function passed 2 for the parameter, we hereby remove it and send bands #2 and #3 to stderr explicitly using fprintf. This has the nice side-effect that these two streams pass through our ANSI emulation layer on Windows.

* improve handling of sideband message displayNicolas Pitre2008-09-031-23/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the code looks for line break characters in order to prepend "remote: " to every line received as many lines can be sent in a single chunk. However the opposite might happen too, i.e. a single message line split amongst multiple chunks. This patch adds support for the later case to avoid displays like: remote: Compressing objeremote: cts: 100% (313/313), done.

* recv_sideband: Do not use ANSI escape sequence on dumb terminals.Johannes Sixt2008-01-091-5/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "clear to end of line" sequence is used to nicely output the progress indicator without leaving garbage on the terminal. However, this works only on ANSI capable terminals. We use the same check as in color.c to find out whether the terminal supports this feature and use a workaround (a few spaces in a row) if it does not. [jc: as an old fashoned git myself, and given the fact that the possible prefix and suffix are small number of short constant strings, I actually prefer a simpler-and-more-stupid approach.

* fix display overlap between remote and local progressNicolas Pitre2007-11-041-14/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible for the remote summary line to be displayed over the local progress display line, and therefore that local progress gets bumped to the next line. However, if the progress line is long enough, it might not be entirely overwritten by the remote summary line. This creates a messed up display such as: remote: Total 310 (delta 160), reused 178 (delta 112)iB/s Receiving objects: 100% (310/310), 379.98 KiB | 136 KiB/s, done. So we have to clear the screen line before displaying the remote message to make sure the local progress is not visible anymore on the first line. Yet some Git versions on the remote side might be sending updates to the same line and terminate it with \r, and a separate packet with a single \n might be sent later when the progress display is done. This means the screen line must *not* be cleared in that case. Since the sideband code already has to figure out line breaks in the received packet to properly prepend the "remote:" prefix, we can easily determine if the remote line about to be displayed is empty. Only when it is not then a proper suffix is inserted before the \r or \n to clear the end of the screen line. Also some magic constants related to the prefix length have been replaced with a variable, making it similar to the suffix length handling. Since gcc is smart enough to detect that the variable is constant there is no impact on the generated code.
