A common workflow in large projects is to chdir into a subdirectory of
interest and only do work there:
cd src
vi foo.c
make test
git add -u
git commit
The upcoming change to 'git add -u' behavior would not affect such a
workflow: when the only changes present are in the current directory,
'git add -u' will add all changes, and whether that happens via an
implicit "." or implicit ":/" parameter is an unimportant
implementation detail.
The warning about use of 'git add -u' with no pathspec is annoying
because it seemingly serves no purpose in this case. So suppress the
warning unless there are changes outside the cwd that are not being
added.
A previous version of this patch ran two I/O-intensive diff-files
passes: one to find changes outside the cwd, and another to find
changes to add to the index within the cwd. This version runs one
full-tree diff and decides for each change whether to add it or warn
and suppress it in update_callback. As a result, even on very large
repositories "git add -u" will not be significantly slower than the
future default behavior ("git add -u :/"), and the slowdown relative
to "git add -u ." should be a useful clue to users of such
repositories to get into the habit of explicitly passing '.'.

In checkout_paths() we do this

- for all items, call match_pathspec (inside unmerge_cache)
- for all items, call match_pathspec (for showing "path .. is unmerged)
- for updated items, call match_pathspec and update paths
That's a lot of duplicate match_pathspec(s) and the function is not
exactly cheap to be called so many times, especially on large indexes.
This patch makes it call match_pathspec once per updated index entry,
save the result in ce_flags and reuse the results in the following
loops.
The changes in 0a1283b (checkout $tree $path: do not clobber local
changes in $path not in $tree - 2011-09-30) limit the affected paths
to ones we read from $tree. We do not do anything to other modified
entries in this case, so the "for all items" above could be modified
to "for all updated items". But..
The command's behavior now is modified slightly: unmerged entries that
match $path, but not updated by $tree, are now NOT touched. Although
this should be considered a bug fix, not a regression. A new test is
added for this change.
And while at there, free ps_matched after use.
The following command is tested on webkit, 215k entries. The pattern
is chosen mainly to make match_pathspec sweat:

We use the function git_deflate_init() -- which wraps the zlib function
deflateInit() -- to initialize compression of ZIP file entries. This
results in compressed data prefixed with a two-bytes long header and
followed by a four-bytes trailer. ZIP file entries consist of ZIP
headers and raw compressed data instead, so we remove the zlib wrapper
before writing the result.
We can ask zlib for the the raw compressed data without the unwanted
parts in the first place by using deflateInit2() and specifying a
negative number of bits to size the window. For that purpose, factor
out the function do_git_deflate_init() and add git_deflate_init_raw(),
which wraps it. Then use the latter in archive-zip.c and get rid of
the code that stripped the zlib header and trailer.
Also rename the helper function zlib_deflate() to zlib_deflate_raw()
to reflect the change.
Thus we avoid generating data that we throw away anyway, the code
becomes shorter and some magic constants are removed.

If an explicit GIT_DIR is given without a working tree, we
implicitly assume that the current working directory should
be used as the working tree. E.g.,:
GIT_DIR=/some/repo.git git status
would compare against the cwd.
Unfortunately, we fool this rule for sub-invocations of git
by setting GIT_DIR internally ourselves. For example:
git init foo
cd foo/.git
git status ;# fails, as we expect
git config alias.st status
git status ;# does not fail, but should
What happens is that we run setup_git_directory when doing
alias lookup (since we need to see the config), set GIT_DIR
as a result, and then leave GIT_WORK_TREE blank (because we
do not have one). Then when we actually run the status
command, we do setup_git_directory again, which sees our
explicit GIT_DIR and uses the cwd as an implicit worktree.
It's tempting to argue that we should be suppressing that
second invocation of setup_git_directory, as it could use
the values we already found in memory. However, the problem
still exists for sub-processes (e.g., if "git status" were
an external command).
You can see another example with the "--bare" option, which
sets GIT_DIR explicitly. For example:
git init foo
cd foo/.git
git status ;# fails
git --bare status ;# does NOT fail
We need some way of telling sub-processes "even though
GIT_DIR is set, do not use cwd as an implicit working tree".
We could do it by putting a special token into
GIT_WORK_TREE, but the obvious choice (an empty string) has
some portability problems.
Instead, we add a new boolean variable, GIT_IMPLICIT_WORK_TREE,
which suppresses the use of cwd as a working tree when
GIT_DIR is set. We trigger the new variable when we know we
are in a bare setting.
The variable is left intentionally undocumented, as this is
an internal detail (for now, anyway). If somebody comes up
with a good alternate use for it, and once we are confident
we have shaken any bugs out of it, we can consider promoting
it further.

The GIT_PREFIX variable is set based on our location within
the working tree. It should therefore be cleared whenever
GIT_WORK_TREE is cleared.
In practice, this doesn't cause any bugs, because none of
the sub-programs we invoke with local_repo_env cleared
actually care about GIT_PREFIX. But this is the right thing
to do, and future proofs us against that assumption changing.

We keep a static array of variables that should be cleared
when invoking a sub-process on another repo. We statically
size the array with the LOCAL_REPO_ENV_SIZE macro so that
any readers do not have to count it themselves.
As it turns out, no readers actually use the macro, and it
creates a maintenance headache, as modifications to the
array need to happen in two places (one to add the new
element, and another to bump the size).
Since it's NULL-terminated, we can just drop the size macro
entirely. While we're at it, we'll clean up some comments
around it, and add a new mention of it at the top of the
list of environment variable macros. Even though
local_repo_env is right below that list, it's easy to miss,
and additions to that list should consider local_repo_env.

With core.ignorecase=true, name-hash.c builds a case insensitive index of
all tracked directories. Currently, the existing cache entry structures are
added multiple times to the same hashtable (with different name lengths and
hash codes). However, there's only one dir_next pointer, which gets
completely messed up in case of hash collisions. In the worst case, this
causes an endless loop if ce == ce->dir_next (see t7062).
Use a separate hashtable and separate structures for the directory index
so that each directory entry has its own next pointer. Use reference
counting to track which directory entry contains files.
There are only slight changes to the name-hash.c API:
- new free_name_hash() used by read_cache.c::discard_index()
- remove_name_hash() takes an additional index_state parameter
- index_name_exists() for a directory (trailing '/') may return a cache
entry that has been removed (CE_UNHASHED). This is not a problem as the
return value is only used to check if the directory exists (dir.c) or to
normalize casing of directory names (read-cache.c).
Getting rid of cache_entry.dir_next reduces memory consumption, especially
with core.ignorecase=false (which doesn't use that member at all).
With core.ignorecase=true, building the directory index is slightly faster
as we add / check the parent directory first (instead of going through all
directory levels for each file in the index). E.g. with WebKit (~200k
files, ~7k dirs), time spent in lazy_init_name_hash is reduced from 176ms
to 130ms.

When we push to update an existing ref, if:
* the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or
* the object we are pushing is not a commit,
it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again,
as the old and new objects will not "merge". We should explain that
the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is
involved in such a case.
If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do
not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be
merged. In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like
non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in
practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work
to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to
update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work
as a suggestion most of the time. And if the object at the tip is
not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent
damage. As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user
will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now
the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved.
In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the
client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the
ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from
there and integrate before pushing again.
Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages
appropriately.

Specifically the fields uid, gid, ctime, ino and dev are set to zero
by JGit. Other implementations, eg. Git in cygwin are allegedly also
somewhat incompatible with Git For Windows and on *nix platforms
the resolution of the timestamps may differ.
Any stat checking by git will then need to check content, which may
be very slow, particularly on Windows. Since mtime and size
is typically enough we should allow the user to tell git to avoid
checking these fields if they are set to zero in the index.
This change introduces a core.checkstat config option where the

When pushing to update a branch with a commit that is not a
descendant of the commit at the tip, a wrong message "already
exists" was given, instead of the correct "non-fast-forward", if we
do not have the object sitting in the destination repository at the
tip of the ref we are updating.
The primary cause of the bug is that the check in a new helper
function is_forwardable() assumed both old and new objects are
available and can be checked, which is not always the case.
The way the caller uses the result of this function is also wrong.
If the helper says "we do not want to let this push go through", the
caller unconditionally translates it into "we blocked it because the
destination already exists", which is not true at all in this case.
Fix this by doing these three things:
* Remove unnecessary not_forwardable from "struct ref"; it is only
used inside set_ref_status_for_push();
* Make "refs/tags/" the only hierarchy that cannot be replaced
without --force;
* Remove the misguided attempt to force that everything that
updates an existing ref has to be a commit outside "refs/tags/"
hierarchy.
The policy last one tried to implement may later be resurrected and
extended to ensure fast-forwardness (defined as "not losing
objects", extending from the traditional "not losing commits from
the resulting history") when objects that are not commit are
involved (e.g. an annotated tag in hierarchies outside refs/tags),
but such a logic belongs to "is this a fast-forward?" check that is
done by ref_newer(); is_forwardable(), which is now removed, was not
the right place to do so.

Commit a469a10 wraps some error calls in macros to give the

to __GNUC__, since gcc is the primary beneficiary of the new

variadic macros.
However, clang also defines __GNUC__, but generates warnings
with -Wunused-value when these macros are used in a void
context, because the constant "-1" ends up being useless.
Gcc does not complain about this case (though it is unclear
if it is because it is smart enough to see what we are
doing, or too dumb to realize that the -1 is unused). We
can squelch the warning by just disabling these macros when

Git takes pathspec arguments in many places to limit the
scope of an operation. These pathspecs are treated not as
literal paths, but as glob patterns that can be fed to
fnmatch. When a user is giving a specific pattern, this is a
nice feature.
However, when programatically providing pathspecs, it can be
a nuisance. For example, to find the latest revision which
modified "$foo", one can use "git rev-list -- $foo". But if
"$foo" contains glob characters (e.g., "f*"), it will
erroneously match more entries than desired. The caller
needs to quote the characters in $foo, and even then, the
results may not be exactly the same as with a literal
pathspec. For instance, the depth checks in
match_pathspec_depth do not kick in if we match via fnmatch.
This patch introduces a global command-line option (i.e.,
one for "git" itself, not for specific commands) to turn
this behavior off. It also has a matching environment
variable, which can make it easier if you are a script or
porcelain interface that is going to issue many such
commands.
This option cannot turn off globbing for particular
pathspecs. That could eventually be done with a ":(noglob)"
magic pathspec prefix. However, that level of granularity is
more cumbersome to use for many cases, and doing ":(noglob)"
right would mean converting the whole codebase to use
"struct pathspec", as the usual "const char **pathspec"
cannot represent extra per-item flags.

There are a few error functions that simply wrap error() and

always return -1; knowing that can help the compiler silence
some false positive -Wuninitialized warnings.
One strategy would be to just declare these as inline in the
header file so that the compiler can see that they always
return -1. However, gcc does not always inline them (e.g.,
it will not inline opterror, even with -O3), which renders
our change pointless.

When a pattern contains only a single asterisk as wildcard,
e.g. "foo*bar", after literally comparing the leading part "foo" with
the string, we can compare the tail of the string and make sure it
matches "bar", instead of running fnmatch() on "*bar" against the
remainder of the string.

We keep track of whether the user ident was given to us
explicitly, or if we guessed at it from system parameters
like username and hostname. However, we kept only a single
variable. This covers the common cases (because the author
and committer will usually come from the same explicit
source), but can miss two cases:
1. GIT_COMMITTER_* is set explicitly, but we fallback for
GIT_AUTHOR. We claim the ident is explicit, even though
the author is not.
2. GIT_AUTHOR_* is set and we ask for author ident, but
not committer ident. We will claim the ident is
implicit, even though it is explicit.
This patch uses two variables instead of one, updates both
when we set the "fallback" values, and updates them
individually when we read from the environment.
Rather than keep user_ident_sufficiently_given as a
compatibility wrapper, we update the only two callers to
check the committer_ident, which matches their intent and
what was happening already.

The exit status code from "git config" was way overspecified while
being incorrect. Update the implementation to give the documented
status for a case that was documented, and introduce a new code for
"all other errors".
* jc/maint-config-exit-status:
config: "git config baa" should exit with status 1
Some capabilities were asked by fetch-pack even when upload-pack did
not advertise that they are available. Fix fetch-pack not to do so.
* jc/capabilities:
fetch-pack: mention server version with verbose output
parse_feature_request: make it easier to see feature values
fetch-pack: do not ask for unadvertised capabilities
do not send client agent unless server does first
send-pack: fix capability-sending logic
include agent identifier in capability string
We already take care to parse key/value capabilities like
"foo=bar", but the code does not provide a good way of
actually finding out what is on the right-hand side of the
"=".
A server using "parse_feature_request" could accomplish this
with some extra parsing. You must skip past the "key"
portion manually, check for "=" versus NUL or space, and
then find the length by searching for the next space (or
NUL). But clients can't even do that, since the
"server_supports" interface does not even return the
pointer.
Instead, let's have our parser share more information by
providing a pointer to the value and its length. The
"parse_feature_value" function returns a pointer to the
feature's value portion, along with the length of the value.
If the feature is missing, NULL is returned. If it does not
have an "=", then a zero-length value is returned.
Similarly, "server_feature_value" behaves in the same way,
but always checks the static server_feature_list variable.
We can then implement "server_supports" in terms of
"server_feature_value". We cannot implement the original
"parse_feature_request" in terms of our new function,
because it returned a pointer to the beginning of the
feature. However, no callers actually cared about the value
of the returned pointer, so we can simplify it to a boolean
just as we do for "server_supports".

- "git apply --build-fake-ancestor" reads the "index" lines from

- "git commit-tree" reads a tree object name (not "tree-ish"), and
zero or more commit object names (not "committish");
- "git reset $rev" wants a committish; "git reset $rev -- $path"
wants a treeish.

Mac OS X mangles file names containing unicode on file systems HFS+,
VFAT or SAMBA. When a file using unicode code points outside ASCII
is created on a HFS+ drive, the file name is converted into
decomposed unicode and written to disk. No conversion is done if
the file name is already decomposed unicode.
Calling open("\xc3\x84", ...) with a precomposed "Ä" yields the same
result as open("\x41\xcc\x88",...) with a decomposed "Ä".
As a consequence, readdir() returns the file names in decomposed
unicode, even if the user expects precomposed unicode. Unlike on
HFS+, Mac OS X stores files on a VFAT drive (e.g. an USB drive) in
precomposed unicode, but readdir() still returns file names in
decomposed unicode. When a git repository is stored on a network
share using SAMBA, file names are send over the wire and written to
disk on the remote system in precomposed unicode, but Mac OS X
readdir() returns decomposed unicode to be compatible with its
behaviour on HFS+ and VFAT.
The unicode decomposition causes many problems:
- The names "git add" and other commands get from the end user may
often be precomposed form (the decomposed form is not easily input
from the keyboard), but when the commands read from the filesystem
to see what it is going to update the index with already is on the
filesystem, readdir() will give decomposed form, which is different.
- Similarly "git log", "git mv" and all other commands that need to
compare pathnames found on the command line (often but not always
precomposed form; a command line input resulting from globbing may
be in decomposed) with pathnames found in the tree objects (should
be precomposed form to be compatible with other systems and for
consistency in general).
- The same for names stored in the index, which should be
precomposed, that may need to be compared with the names read from
readdir().
NFS mounted from Linux is fully transparent and does not suffer from
the above.
As Mac OS X treats precomposed and decomposed file names as equal,
we can
- wrap readdir() on Mac OS X to return the precomposed form, and
- normalize decomposed form given from the command line also to the
precomposed form,
to ensure that all pathnames used in Git are always in the
precomposed form. This behaviour can be requested by setting
"core.precomposedunicode" configuration variable to true.
The code in compat/precomposed_utf8.c implements basically 4 new
functions: precomposed_utf8_opendir(), precomposed_utf8_readdir(),
precomposed_utf8_closedir() and precompose_argv(). The first three
are to wrap opendir(3), readdir(3), and closedir(3) functions.
The argv[] conversion allows to use the TAB filename completion done
by the shell on command line. It tolerates other tools which use
readdir() to feed decomposed file names into git.
When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone",
"core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false".
The user needs to activate this feature manually. She typically
sets core.precomposedunicode to "true" on HFS and VFAT, or file
systems mounted via SAMBA.

1. Call ident_default_email; this does not respect

2. Call git_{committer,author}_info; this returns the name

mode called 'simple' that is the intersection of them: push to the
upstream branch, but only if it has the same name remotely. If not, give
an error that suggests the right command to push explicitely to
'upstream' or 'current'.
A question is whether to allow pushing when no upstream is configured. An
argument in favor of allowing the push is that it makes the new mode work
in more cases. On the other hand, refusing to push when no upstream is
configured encourages the user to set the upstream, which will be
beneficial on the next pull. Lacking better argument, we chose to deny
the push, because it will be easier to change in the future if someone
shows us wrong.

When execvp reports EACCES, it can be one of two things:
1. We found a file to execute, but did not have
permissions to do so.
2. We did not have permissions to look in some directory
in the $PATH.
In the former case, we want to consider this a
permissions problem and report it to the user as such (since
getting this for something like "git foo" is likely a
configuration error).
In the latter case, there is a good chance that the
inaccessible directory does not contain anything of
interest. Reporting "permission denied" is confusing to the
user (and prevents our usual "did you mean...?" lookup). It
also prevents git from trying alias lookup, since we do so
only when an external command does not exist (not when it
exists but has an error).
This patch detects EACCES from execvp, checks whether we are
in case (2), and if so converts errno to ENOENT. This
behavior matches that of "bash" (but not of simpler shells
that use execvp more directly, like "dash").

Each ref structure contains a "nonfastforward" field which
is set during push to show whether the ref rewound history.
Originally this was a single bit, but it was changed in
f25950f (push: Provide situational hints for non-fast-forward
errors) to an enum differentiating a non-ff of the current
branch versus another branch.
However, we never actually set the member according to the
enum values, nor did we ever read it expecting anything but
a boolean value. But we did use the side effect of declaring
the enum constants to store those values in a totally
different integer variable. The code as-is isn't buggy, but
the enum declaration inside "struct ref" is somewhat
misleading.
Let's convert nonfastforward back into a single bit, and
then define the NON_FF_* constants closer to where they
would be used (they are returned via the "int *nonfastforward"
parameter to transport_push, so we can define them there).

Pushing a non-fast-forward update to a remote repository will result in
an error, but the hint text doesn't provide the correct resolution in
every case. Give better resolution advice in three push scenarios:
1) If you push your current branch and it triggers a non-fast-forward
error, you should merge remote changes with 'git pull' before pushing
again.
2) If you push to a shared repository others push to, and your local
tracking branches are not kept up to date, the 'matching refs' default
will generate non-fast-forward errors on outdated branches. If this is
your workflow, the 'matching refs' default is not for you. Consider
setting the 'push.default' configuration variable to 'current' or
'upstream' to ensure only your current branch is pushed.
3) If you explicitly specify a ref that is not your current branch or
push matching branches with ':', you will generate a non-fast-forward
error if any pushed branch tip is out of date. You should checkout the
offending branch and merge remote changes before pushing again.
Teach transport.c to recognize these scenarios and configure push.c
to hint for them. If 'git push's default behavior changes or we
discover more scenarios, extension is easy. Standardize on the
advice API and add three new advice variables, 'pushNonFFCurrent',
'pushNonFFDefault', and 'pushNonFFMatching'. Setting any of these
to 'false' will disable their affiliated advice. Setting
'pushNonFastForward' to false will disable all three, thus preserving the
config option for users who already set it, but guaranteeing new
users won't disable push advice accidentally.

docs: add a basic description of the config API
It can be useful to split your ~/.gitconfig across multiple
files. For example, you might have a "main" file which is
used on many machines, but a small set of per-machine
tweaks. Or you may want to make some of your config public
(e.g., clever aliases) while keeping other data back (e.g.,
your name or other identifying information). Or you may want
to include a number of config options in some subset of your
repos without copying and pasting (e.g., you want to
reference them from the .git/config of participating repos).
This patch introduces an include directive for config files.
It looks like:
[include]
path = /path/to/file
This is syntactically backwards-compatible with existing git
config parsers (i.e., they will see it as another config
entry and ignore it unless you are looking up include.path).
The implementation provides a "git_config_include" callback
which wraps regular config callbacks. Callers can pass it to
git_config_from_file, and it will transparently follow any
include directives, passing all of the discovered options to
the real callback.
Include directives are turned on automatically for "regular"
git config parsing. This includes calls to git_config, as
well as calls to the "git config" program that do not
specify a single file (e.g., using "-f", "--global", etc).
They are not turned on in other cases, including:
1. Parsing of other config-like files, like .gitmodules.
There isn't a real need, and I'd rather be conservative
and avoid unnecessary incompatibility or confusion.
2. Reading single files via "git config". This is for two
reasons:
a. backwards compatibility with scripts looking at
config-like files.
b. inspection of a specific file probably means you
care about just what's in that file, not a general
lookup for "do we have this value anywhere at
all". If that is not the case, the caller can
always specify "--includes".
3. Writing files via "git config"; we want to treat
include.* variables as literal items to be copied (or
modified), and not expand them. So "git config
--unset-all foo.bar" would operate _only_ on
.git/config, not any of its included files (just as it
also does not operate on ~/.gitconfig).

This is a magic global variable that was intended as an
override to the usual git-config lookup process. Once upon a
time, you could specify GIT_CONFIG to any git program, and
it would look only at that file. This turned out to be
confusing and cause a lot of bugs for little gain. As a
result, dc87183 (Only use GIT_CONFIG in "git config", not
other programs, 2008-06-30) took this away for all callers
except git-config.
Since git-config no longer uses it either, the variable can
just go away. As the diff shows, nobody was setting to
anything except NULL, so we can just replace any sites where
it was read with NULL.

Callers may want to provide a specific version of a file in which to look
for config. Right now this can be done by setting the magic global
config_exclusive_filename variable. By providing a version of git_config
that takes a filename, we can take a step towards making this magic global
go away.
Furthermore, by providing a more "advanced" interface, we now have a a
natural place to add new options for callers like git-config, which care
about tweaking the specifics of config lookup, without disturbing the
large number of "simple" users (i.e., every other part of git).
The astute reader of this patch may notice that the logic for handling
config_exclusive_filename was taken out of git_config_early, but added
into git_config. This means that git_config_early will no longer respect
config_exclusive_filename. That's OK, because the only other caller of
git_config_early is check_repository_format_gently, but the only function
which sets config_exclusive_filename is cmd_config, which does not call
check_repository_format_gently (and if it did, it would have been a bug,
anyway, as we would be checking the repository format in the wrong file).

When you specify a local repository on the command line of
clone, ls-remote, upload-pack, receive-pack, or upload-archive,
or in a request to git-daemon, we perform a little bit of
lookup magic, doing things like looking in working trees for
.git directories and appending ".git" for bare repos.
For clone, this magic happens in get_repo_path. For
everything else, it happens in enter_repo. In both cases,
there are some ambiguous or confusing cases that aren't
handled well, and there is one case that is not handled the
same by both methods.
This patch tries to provide (and test!) standard, sensible
lookup rules for both code paths. The intended changes are:
1. When looking up "foo", we have always preferred
a working tree "foo" (containing "foo/.git" over the
bare "foo.git". But we did not prefer a bare "foo" over
"foo.git". With this patch, we do so.
2. We would select directories that existed but didn't
actually look like git repositories. With this patch,
we make sure a selected directory looks like a git
repo. Not only is this more sensible in general, but it
will help anybody who is negatively affected by change
(1) negatively (e.g., if they had "foo.git" next to its
separate work tree "foo", and expect to keep finding
"foo.git" when they reference "foo").
3. The enter_repo code path would, given "foo", look for
"foo.git/.git" (i.e., do the ".git" append magic even
for a repo with working tree). The clone code path did
not; with this patch, they now behave the same.
In the unlikely case of a working tree overlaying a bare
repo (i.e., a ".git" directory _inside_ a bare repo), we
continue to treat it as a working tree (prefering the
"inner" .git over the bare repo). This is mainly because the
combination seems nonsensical, and I'd rather stick with
existing behavior on the off chance that somebody is relying
on it.

We have been carefully choosing feature names used in the protocol
extensions so that the vocabulary does not contain a word that is a
substring of another word, so it is not a real problem, but we have
recently added "quiet" feature word, which would mean we cannot later
add some other word with "quiet" (e.g. "quiet-push"), which is awkward.
Let's make sure that we can eventually be able to do so by teaching the

The get_remote_heads function reads the list of remote refs

Later, 1baaae5 (Make maximal use of the remote refs,

resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer, which is not

"git log frotz" can DWIM to "refs/remotes/frotz/HEAD", but in the remote
access context, "git fetch frotz" to fetch what the other side happened to
have fetched from what it calls 'frotz' (which may not have any relation
to what we consider is 'frotz') the last time would not make much sense,
so the fetch rules table did not include "refs/remotes/%.*s/HEAD".
When the user really wants to, "git fetch $there remotes/frotz/HEAD" would
let her do so anyway, so this is not about safety or security; it merely
is about confusion avoidance and discouraging meaningless usage.
Specifically, it is _not_ about ambiguity avoidance. A name that would
become ambiguous if we use the same rules table for both fetch and local
rev-parse would be ambiguous locally at the remote side.
So for the same reason as we added rule to allow "git fetch $there v1.0"
instead of "git fetch $there tags/v1.0" in the previous commit, here is a
bit longer rope for the users, which incidentally simplifies our code.

It's possible that while pack-objects is running, a
simultaneously running prune process might delete a pack
that we are interested in. Because we load the pack indices
early on, we know that the pack contains our item, but by
the time we try to open and map it, it is gone.
Since c715f78, we already protect against this in the normal
object access code path, but pack-objects accesses the packs
at a lower level. In the normal access path, we call
find_pack_entry, which will call find_pack_entry_one on each
pack index, which does the actual lookup. If it gets a hit,
we will actually open and verify the validity of the
matching packfile (using c715f78's is_pack_valid). If we
can't open it, we'll issue a warning and pretend that we
didn't find it, causing us to go on to the next pack (or on
to loose objects).
Furthermore, we will cache the descriptor to the opened
packfile. Which means that later, when we actually try to
access the object, we are likely to still have that packfile
opened, and won't care if it has been unlinked from the
filesystem.
Notice the "likely" above. If there is another pack access
in the interim, and we run out of descriptors, we could
close the pack. And then a later attempt to access the
closed pack could fail (we'll try to re-open it, of course,
but it may have been deleted). In practice, this doesn't
happen because we tend to look up items and then access them
immediately.
Pack-objects does not follow this code path. Instead, it
accesses the packs at a much lower level, using
find_pack_entry_one directly. This means we skip the
is_pack_valid check, and may end up with the name of a
packfile, but no open descriptor.
We can add the same is_pack_valid check here. Unfortunately,
the access patterns of pack-objects are not quite as nice
for keeping lookup and object access together. We look up
each object as we find out about it, and the only later when
writing the packfile do we necessarily access it. Which
means that the opened packfile may be closed in the interim.
In practice, however, adding this check still has value, for
three reasons.
1. If you have a reasonable number of packs and/or a
reasonable file descriptor limit, you can keep all of
your packs open simultaneously. If this is the case,
then the race is impossible to trigger.
2. Even if you can't keep all packs open at once, you
may end up keeping the deleted one open (i.e., you may
get lucky).
3. The race window is shortened. You may notice early that
the pack is gone, and not try to access it. Triggering
the problem without this check means deleting the pack
any time after we read the list of index files, but
before we access the looked-up objects. Triggering it
with this check means deleting the pack means deleting
the pack after we do a lookup (and successfully access
the packfile), but before we access the object. Which
is a smaller window.

When core.ignorecase is turned on and there are stale index
entries, "git commit" can sometimes report directories as
untracked, even though they contain tracked files.
You can see an example of this with:
# make a case-insensitive repo
git init repo && cd repo &&
git config core.ignorecase true &&
# with some tracked files in a subdir
mkdir subdir &&
> subdir/one &&
> subdir/two &&
git add . &&
git commit -m base &&
# now make the index entries stale
touch subdir/* &&
# and then ask commit to update those entries and show
# us the status template
git commit -a
which will report "subdir/" as untracked, even though it
clearly contains two tracked files. What is happening in the
commit program is this:
1. We load the index, and for each entry, insert it into the index's
name_hash. In addition, if ignorecase is turned on, we make an
entry in the name_hash for the directory (e.g., "contrib/"), which
uses the following code from 5102c61's hash_index_entry_directories:
hash = hash_name(ce->name, ptr - ce->name);
if (!lookup_hash(hash, &istate->name_hash)) {
pos = insert_hash(hash, &istate->name_hash);
if (pos) {
ce->next = *pos;
*pos = ce;
}
}
Note that we only add the directory entry if there is not already an
entry.
2. We run add_files_to_cache, which gets updated information for each
cache entry. It helpfully inserts this information into the cache,
which calls replace_index_entry. This in turn calls
remove_name_hash() on the old entry, and add_name_hash() on the new
one. But remove_name_hash doesn't actually remove from the hash, it
only marks it as "no longer interesting" (from cache.h):
/*
* We don't actually *remove* it, we can just mark it invalid so that
* we won't find it in lookups.
*
* Not only would we have to search the lists (simple enough), but
* we'd also have to rehash other hash buckets in case this makes the
* hash bucket empty (common). So it's much better to just mark
* it.
*/
static inline void remove_name_hash(struct cache_entry *ce)
{
ce->ce_flags |= CE_UNHASHED;
}
This is OK in the specific-file case, since the entries in the hash
form a linked list, and we can just skip the "not here anymore"
entries during lookup.
But for the directory hash entry, we will _not_ write a new entry,
because there is already one there: the old one that is actually no
longer interesting!
3. While traversing the directories, we end up in the
directory_exists_in_index_icase function to see if a directory is
interesting. This in turn checks index_name_exists, which will
look up the directory in the index's name_hash. We see the old,
deleted record, and assume there is nothing interesting. The
directory gets marked as untracked, even though there are index
entries in it.
The problem is in the code I showed above:
hash = hash_name(ce->name, ptr - ce->name);
if (!lookup_hash(hash, &istate->name_hash)) {
pos = insert_hash(hash, &istate->name_hash);
if (pos) {
ce->next = *pos;
*pos = ce;
}
}
Having a single cache entry that represents the directory is
not enough; that entry may go away if the index is changed.
It may be tempting to say that the problem is in our removal
method; if we removed the entry entirely instead of simply
marking it as "not here anymore", then we would know we need
to insert a new entry. But that only covers this particular
case of remove-replace. In the more general case, consider
something like this:
1. We add "foo/bar" and "foo/baz" to the index. Each gets
their own entry in name_hash, plus we make a "foo/"
entry that points to "foo/bar".
2. We remove the "foo/bar" entry from the index, and from
the name_hash.
3. We ask if "foo/" exists, and see no entry, even though
"foo/baz" exists.
So we need that directory entry to have the list of _all_
cache entries that indicate that the directory is tracked.
So that implies making a linked list as we do for other
entries, like:
hash = hash_name(ce->name, ptr - ce->name);
pos = insert_hash(hash, &istate->name_hash);
if (pos) {
ce->next = *pos;
*pos = ce;
}
But that's not right either. In fact, it shows a second bug
in the current code, which is that the "ce->next" pointer is
supposed to be linking entries for a specific filename
entry, but here we are overwriting it for the directory
entry. So the same cache entry ends up in two linked lists,
but they share the same "next" pointer.
As it turns out, this second bug can't be triggered in the
current code. The "if (pos)" conditional is totally dead
code; pos will only be non-NULL if there was an existing
hash entry, and we already checked that there wasn't one
through our call to lookup_hash.
But fixing the first bug means taking out that call to
lookup_hash, which is going to activate the buggy dead code,
and we'll end up splicing the two linked lists together.
So we need to have a separate next pointer for the list in
the directory bucket, and we need to traverse that list in
index_name_exists when we are looking up a directory.
This bloats "struct cache_entry" by a few bytes. Which is
annoying, because it's only necessary when core.ignorecase
is enabled. There's not an easy way around it, short of
separating out the "next" pointers from cache_entry entirely
(i.e., having a separate "cache_entry_list" struct that gets
stored in the name_hash). In practice, it probably doesn't
matter; we have thousands of cache entries, compared to the
millions of objects (where adding 4 bytes to the struct
actually does impact performance).

This code calls git_config from a helper function to parse the config entry
it is interested in. Calling git_config in this way may cause a problem if
the helper function can be called after a previous call to git_config by
another function since the second call to git_config may reset some
variable to the value in the config file which was previously overridden.
The above is not a problem in this case since the function passed to
git_config only parses one config entry and the variable it sets is not
assigned outside of the parsing function. But a programmer who desires
all of the standard config options to be parsed may be tempted to modify
git_attr_config() so that it falls back to git_default_config() and then it
_would_ be vulnerable to the above described behavior.
So, move the call to git_config up into the top-level cmd_* function and
move the responsibility for parsing core.attributesfile into the main
config file parser.
Which is only the logical thing to do ;-)

The following sequence of commands reveals an issue with error
reporting of relative paths:
$ mkdir sub
$ cd sub
$ git ls-files --error-unmatch ../bbbbb
error: pathspec 'b' did not match any file(s) known to git.
$ git commit --error-unmatch ../bbbbb
error: pathspec 'b' did not match any file(s) known to git.
This bug is visible only if the normalized path (i.e., the relative
path from the repository root) is longer than the prefix.
Otherwise, the code skips over the normalized path and reads from
an unused memory location which still contains a leftover of the
original command line argument.
So instead, use the existing facilities to deal with relative paths
correctly.
Also fix inconsistency between "checkout" and "commit", e.g.
$ cd Documentation
$ git checkout nosuch.txt
error: pathspec 'Documentation/nosuch.txt' did not match...
$ git commit nosuch.txt
error: pathspec 'nosuch.txt' did not match...
by propagating the prefix down the codepath that reports the error.

In order to do partial commits, git-commit overlays a tree on the
cache and checks pathspecs against the result. Currently, the
overlaying is done using "prefix" which prevents relative pathspecs
with ".." and absolute pathspec from matching when they refer to
files not under "prefix" and absent from the index, but still in
the tree (i.e. files staged for removal).
The point of providing a prefix at all is performance optimization.
If we say there is no common prefix for the files of interest, then
we have to read the entire tree into the index.
But even if we cannot use the working directory as a prefix, we can
still figure out if there is a common prefix for all given paths,
and use that instead. The pathspec_prefix() routine from ls-files.c
does exactly that.
Any use of global variables is removed from pathspec_prefix() so
that it can be called from commit.c.

Add support for dividing the refs of a single repository into multiple
namespaces, each of which can have its own branches, tags, and HEAD.
Git can expose each namespace as an independent repository to pull from
and push to, while sharing the object store, and exposing all the refs
to operations such as git-gc.
Storing multiple repositories as namespaces of a single repository
avoids storing duplicate copies of the same objects, such as when
storing multiple branches of the same source. The alternates mechanism
provides similar support for avoiding duplicates, but alternates do not
prevent duplication between new objects added to the repositories
without ongoing maintenance, while namespaces do.
To specify a namespace, set the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable to
the namespace. For each ref namespace, git stores the corresponding
refs in a directory under refs/namespaces/. For example,
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/. You can
also specify namespaces via the --namespace option to git.
Note that namespaces which include a / will expand to a hierarchy of
namespaces; for example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar will store refs under
refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/. This makes paths in
GIT_NAMESPACE behave hierarchically, so that cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar produces the same result as cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo and cloning from that repo with GIT_NAMESPACE=bar. It
also avoids ambiguity with strange namespace paths such as
foo/refs/heads/, which could otherwise generate directory/file conflicts
within the refs directory.
Add the infrastructure for ref namespaces: handle the GIT_NAMESPACE
environment variable and --namespace option, and support iterating over
refs in a namespace.

The size of objects we read from the repository and data we try to put
into the repository are represented in "unsigned long", so that on larger
architectures we can handle objects that weigh more than 4GB.
But the interface defined in zlib.h to communicate with inflate/deflate
limits avail_in (how many bytes of input are we calling zlib with) and
avail_out (how many bytes of output from zlib are we ready to accept)
fields effectively to 4GB by defining their type to be uInt.
In many places in our code, we allocate a large buffer (e.g. mmap'ing a
large loose object file) and tell zlib its size by assigning the size to
avail_in field of the stream, but that will truncate the high octets of
the real size. The worst part of this story is that we often pass around
z_stream (the state object used by zlib) to keep track of the number of
used bytes in input/output buffer by inspecting these two fields, which
practically limits our callchain to the same 4GB limit.
Wrap z_stream in another structure git_zstream that can express avail_in
and avail_out in unsigned long. For now, just die() when the caller gives
a size that cannot be given to a single zlib call. In later patches in the
series, we would make git_inflate() and git_deflate() internally loop to
give callers an illusion that our "improved" version of zlib interface can
operate on a buffer larger than 4GB in one go.

When the output to a path does not have to be converted, we can read from
the object database from the streaming API and write to the file in the
working tree, without having to hold everything in the memory.
The ident, auto- and safe- crlf conversions inherently require you to read
the whole thing before deciding what to do, so while it is technically
possible to support them by using a buffer of an unbound size or rewinding
and reading the stream twice, it is less practical than the traditional
"read the whole thing in core and convert" approach.
Adding streaming filters for the other conversions on top of this should
be doable by tweaking the can_bypass_conversion() function (it should be
renamed to can_filter_stream() when it happens). Then the streaming API
can be extended to wrap the git_istream streaming_write_entry() opens on
the underlying object in another git_istream that reads from it, filters
what is read, and let the streaming_write_entry() read the filtered
result. But that is outside the scope of this series.

The original interface for sha1_object_info() takes an object name and
gives back a type and its size (the latter is given only when it was

* In the earlier round, this used u.pack.delta to record the length of
the delta chain, but the caller is not necessarily interested in the
length of the delta chain per-se, but may only want to know if it is a
delta against another object or is stored as a deflated data. Calling
packed_object_info_detail() involves walking the reverse index chain to
compute the store size of the object and is unnecessarily expensive.
We could resurrect the code if a new caller wants to know, but I doubt
it.

t6050: make sure we test not just commit replacement
Declare lookup_replace_object() in cache.h, not in commit.h
The way "object replacement" mechanism was tucked to the read_sha1_file()
interface was suboptimal in a couple of ways:
- Callers that want it to die with useful diagnosis upon seeing a corrupt
object does not have a way to say that they do not want any object
replacement.
- Callers who do not want it to die but want to handle the errors
themselves are told to arrange to call read_object(), but the function
does not use the replacement mechanism, and also it is a file scope
static function that not many callers can call to begin with.
This adds a read_sha1_file_extended() that takes a set of flags; the
callers of read_sha1_file() passes a flag READ_SHA1_FILE_REPLACE to ask
for object replacement mechanism to kick in.
Later, we could add another flag bit to tell the function to return an
error instead of dying and then remove the misguided "call read_object()
yourself".

In a repository without object replacement, lookup_replace_object() should
be a no-op. Check the flag "read_replace_refs" on the side of the caller,
and bypess a function call when we know we are not dealing with replacement.
Also, even when we are set up to replace objects, if we do not find any
replacement defined, flip that flag off to avoid function call overhead
for all the later object accesses.
As this change the semantics of the flag from "do we need read the
replacement definition?" to "do we need to check with the lookup table?"
the flag needs to be renamed later to something saner, e.g. "use_replace",
when the codebase is calmer, but not now.

Most callers want to silently get a replacement object, and they do not
care what the real name of the replacement object is. Worse yet, no sane
interface to return the underlying object without replacement is provided.
Remove the function and make only the few callers that want the name of
the replacement object find it themselves.

The declaration is misplaced as the replace API is supposed to affect
not just commits, but all types of objects.

"git cmd :/no-such-string-ever-existed" runs an extra round of get_sha1()
since 009fee4 (Detailed diagnosis when parsing an object name fails.,
2009-12-07). Once without error diagnosis to see there is no commit with
such a string in the log message (hence "it cannot be a ref"), and after
seeing that :/no-such-string-ever-existed is not a filename (hence "it
cannot be a path, either"), another time to give "better diagnosis".
The thing is, the second time it runs, we already know that traversing the
history all the way down to the root will _not_ find any matching commit.
Rename misguided "gently" parameter, which is turned off _only_ when the
"detailed diagnosis" codepath knows that it cannot be a ref and making the
call only for the caller to die with a message. Flip its meaning (and
adjust the callers) and call it "only_to_die", which is not a great name,
but it describes far more clearly what the codepaths that switches their
behaviour based on this variable do.
On my box, the command spends ~1.8 seconds without the patch to make the
report; with the patch it spends ~1.12 seconds.

Yes, it is clear that "eol" wants to mean some sort of end-of-line thing,
but as the name of a global variable, it is way too short to describe what
kind of end-of-line thing it wants to represent. Besides, there are many
codepaths that want to use their own local "char *eol" variable to point
at the end of the current line they are processing.
This global variable holds what we read from core.eol configuration
variable. Name it as such.

The "format_check" parameter tucked after the existing parameters is too
ugly an afterthought to live in any reasonable API.
Combine it with the other boolean parameter "write_object" into a single
"flags" parameter.

* nd/struct-pathspec:
pathspec: rename per-item field has_wildcard to use_wildcard
Improve tree_entry_interesting() handling code
Convert read_tree{,_recursive} to support struct pathspec
Reimplement read_tree_recursive() using tree_entry_interesting()
The pack-objects command should take notice of the object file and
refrain from attempting to delta large ones, to be consistent with
the fast-import command.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
As the point of the last change is to allow use of strings as
literals no matter what characters are in them, "has_wildcard"
does not match what we use this field for anymore.
It is used to decide if the wildcard matching should be used, so
rename it to match the usage better.

The git-new-workdir script in contrib/ makes a new work tree by sharing
many subdirectories of the .git directory with the original repository.
When rerere.enabled is set in the original repository, but the user has
not encountered any conflicts yet, the original repository may not yet
have .git/rr-cache directory.
When rerere wants to run in a new work tree created from such a young
original repository, it fails to mkdir(2) .git/rr-cache that is a symlink
to a yet-to-be-created directory.
There are three possible approaches to this:
- A naive solution is not to create a symlink in the git-new-workdir
script to a directory the original does not have (yet). This is not a
solution, as we tend to lazily create subdirectories of .git/, and
having rerere.enabled configuration set is a strong indication that the
user _wants_ to have this lazy creation to happen;
- We could always create .git/rr-cache upon repository creation. This is
tempting but will not help people with existing repositories.
- Detect this case by seeing that mkdir(2) failed with EEXIST, checking
that the path is a symlink, and try running mkdir(2) on the link
target.
This patch solves the issue by doing the third one.
Strictly speaking, this is incomplete. It does not attempt to handle
relative symbolic link that points into the original repository, but this
is good enough to help people who use contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir
script.

When we had to refresh the index internally before running diff or status,

of git can use the lstat(2) we already did in this invocation.
Make them share a helper function to do so.

renamed to relative_path to maintain the name convention.

Since v1.7.2-rc0~23^2~2 (Add per-repository eol normalization,
2010-05-19), building with gcc -std=gnu89 -pedantic produces warnings
like the following:
convert.c:21:11: warning: comma at end of enumerator list [-pedantic]
gcc is right to complain --- these commas are not permitted in C89.

Now that test-lib sets $HOME to protect against pollution from user
settings, GIT_CONFIG_NOGLOBAL is not needed for use by the test
suite any more. And as luck would have it, a quick code search
reveals no other users in the wild.
This patch does not affect GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM, which is still
needed.

The default of 7 comes from fairly early in git development, when
seven hex digits was a lot (it covers about 250+ million hash
values). Back then I thought that 65k revisions was a lot (it was what
we were about to hit in BK), and each revision tends to be about 5-10
new objects or so, so a million objects was a big number.
These days, the kernel isn't even the largest git project, and even
the kernel has about 220k revisions (_much_ bigger than the BK tree
ever was) and we are approaching two million objects. At that point,
seven hex digits is still unique for a lot of them, but when we're
talking about just two orders of magnitude difference between number
of objects and the hash size, there _will_ be collisions in truncated
hash values. It's no longer even close to unrealistic - it happens all
the time.
We should both increase the default abbrev that was unrealistically
small, _and_ add a way for people to set their own default per-project
in the git config file.
This is the first step to first make it configurable; the default of 7
is not raised yet.

This reverts commit 72a5b561fc, as adding
fixed number of hexdigits more than necessary to make one object name
locally unique does not help in futureproofing the uniqueness of names
we generate today.

This shows a trace of all packets coming in or out of a given
program. This can help with debugging object negotiation or
other protocol issues.
To keep the code changes simple, we operate at the lowest
level, meaning we don't necessarily understand what's in the
packets. The one exception is a packet starting with "PACK",
which causes us to skip that packet and turn off tracing
(since the gigantic pack data will not be interesting to
read, at least not in the trace format).
We show both written and read packets. In the local case,
this may mean you will see packets twice (written by the
sender and read by the receiver). However, for cases where
the other end is remote, this allows you to see the full
conversation.
Packet tracing can be enabled with GIT_TRACE_PACKET=<foo>,
where <foo> takes the same arguments as GIT_TRACE.
