Way back in read-tree.c, we used a mode 0 cache entry to indicate that
an entry had been deleted, so that the update code would remove the
working tree file, and we would just skip it when writing out the
index file afterward.
These days, unpack_trees is a library function, and it is still
leaving these entries in the active cache. Furthermore, unpack_trees
doesn't correctly ignore those entries, and who knows what other code
wouldn't expect them to be there, but just isn't yet called after a
call to unpack_trees. To avoid having other code trip over these
entries, have check_updates() remove them after it removes the working
tree files.
While we're at it, simplify the loop in check_updates(), and avoid
passing global variables as parameters to check_updates(): there is
only one call site anyway.

(This applies only to errors where a plausible operation is impossible due
to the particular data, not to errors resulting from misuse of the merge
functions.)
This will allow builtin-checkout to suppress merge errors if it's
going to try more merging methods.
Additionally, if unpack_trees() returns with an error, but without
printing anything, it will roll back any changes to the index (by
rereading the index, currently). This obviously could be done by the
caller, but chances are that the caller would forget and debugging
this is difficult. Also, future implementations may give unpack_trees() a
more efficient way of undoing its changes than the caller could.

Return an error from unpack_trees() instead of calling die(), and exit
with an error in read-tree, builtin-commit, and diff-lib. merge-recursive
already expected an error return from unpack_trees, so it doesn't need to
be changed. The merge function can return negative to abort.
This will be used in builtin-checkout -m.

This creates a hash index of every single file added to the index.
Right now that hash index isn't actually used for much: I implemented a
"cache_name_exists()" function that uses it to efficiently look up a
filename in the index without having to do the O(logn) binary search,
but quite frankly, that's not why this patch is interesting.
No, the whole and only reason to create the hash of the filenames in the
index is that by modifying the hash function, you can fairly easily do
things like making it always hash equivalent names into the same bucket.
That, in turn, means that suddenly questions like "does this name exist
in the index under an _equivalent_ name?" becomes much much cheaper.
Guiding principles behind this patch:
- it shouldn't be too costly. In fact, my primary goal here was to
actually speed up "git commit" with a fully populated kernel tree, by
being faster at checking whether a file already existed in the index. I
did succeed, but only barely:
Best before:
[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null
real 0m0.255s
user 0m0.168s
sys 0m0.088s
Best after:
[torvalds@woody linux]$ time ~/git/git commit > /dev/null
real 0m0.233s
user 0m0.144s
sys 0m0.088s
so some things are actually faster (~8%).
Caveat: that's really the best case. Other things are invariably going
to be slightly slower, since we populate that index cache, and quite
frankly, few things really use it to look things up.
That said, the cost is really quite small. The worst case is probably
doing a "git ls-files", which will do very little except puopulate the
index, and never actually looks anything up in it, just lists it.
Before:
[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git ls-files > /dev/null
real 0m0.016s
user 0m0.016s
sys 0m0.000s
After:
[torvalds@woody linux]$ time ~/git/git ls-files > /dev/null
real 0m0.021s
user 0m0.012s
sys 0m0.008s
and while the thing has really gotten relatively much slower, we're
still talking about something almost unmeasurable (eg 5ms). And that
really should be pretty much the worst case.
So we lose 5ms on one "benchmark", but win 22ms on another. Pick your
poison - this patch has the advantage that it will _likely_ speed up
the cases that are complex and expensive more than it slows down the
cases that are already so fast that nobody cares. But if you look at
relative speedups/slowdowns, it doesn't look so good.
- It should be simple and clean
The code may be a bit subtle (the reasons I do hash removal the way I
do etc), but it re-uses the existing hash.c files, so it really is
fairly small and straightforward apart from a few odd details.
Now, this patch on its own doesn't really do much, but I think it's worth
looking at, if only because if done correctly, the name hashing really can
make an improvement to the whole issue of "do we have a filename that
looks like this in the index already". And at least it gets real testing
by being used even by default (ie there is a real use-case for it even
without any insane filesystems).
NOTE NOTE NOTE! The current hash is a joke. I'm ashamed of it, I'm just
not ashamed of it enough to really care. I took all the numbers out of my
nether regions - I'm sure it's good enough that it works in practice, but
the whole point was that you can make a really much fancier hash that
hashes characters not directly, but by their upper-case value or something
like that, and thus you get a case-insensitive hash, while still keeping
the name and the index itself totally case sensitive.

It is a D/F conflict if you want to add "foo/bar" to the index
when "foo" already exists. Also it is a conflict if you want to
add a file "foo" when "foo/bar" exists.
An exception is when the existing entry is there only to mark "I
used to be here but I am being removed". This is needed for
operations such as "git read-tree -m -u" that update the index
and then reflect the result to the work tree --- we need to
remember what to remove somewhere, and we use the index for
that. In such a case, an existing file "foo" is being removed
and we can create "foo/" directory and hang "bar" underneath it
without any conflict.
We used to use (ce->ce_mode == 0) to mark an entry that is being
removed, but (CE_REMOVE & ce->ce_flags) is used for that purpose
these days. An earlier commit forgot to convert the logic in
the code that checks D/F conflict condition.
The old code knew that "to be removed" entries cannot be at
higher stage and actively checked that condition, but it was an
unnecessary check. This patch removes the extra check as well.

A plain "git commit" would still run lstat() a lot more than necessary,
because wt_status_print() would cause the index to be repeatedly flushed
and re-read by wt_read_cache(), and that would cause the CE_UPTODATE bit
to be lost, resulting in the files in the index being lstat'ed three
times each.
The reason why wt-status.c ended up invalidating and re-reading the
cache multiple times was that it uses "run_diff_index()", which in turn
uses "read_tree()" to populate the index with *both* the old index and
the tree we want to compare against.
So this patch re-writes run_diff_index() to not use read_tree(), but
instead use "unpack_trees()" to diff the index to a tree. That, in
turn, means that we don't need to modify the index itself, which then
means that we don't need to invalidate it and re-read it!
This, together with the lstat() optimizations, means that "git commit"
on the kernel tree really only needs to lstat() the index entries once.
That noticeably cuts down on the cached timings.
Best time before:
[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null
real 0m0.399s
user 0m0.232s
sys 0m0.164s
Best time after:
[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null
real 0m0.254s
user 0m0.140s
sys 0m0.112s
so it's a noticeable improvement in addition to being a nice conceptual
cleanup (it's really not that pretty that "run_diff_index()" dirties the
index!)
Doing an "strace -c" on it also shows that as it cuts the number of
lstat() calls by two thirds, it goes from being lstat()-limited to being
limited by getdents() (which is the readdir system call):
Before:

It passes the test-suite for me, but this is another of one of those
really core functions, and certainly pretty subtle, so..
NOTE! The Linux lstat() system call is really quite cheap when everything
is cached, so the fact that this is quite noticeable on Linux is likely to
mean that it is *much* more noticeable on other operating systems. I bet
you'll see a much bigger performance improvement from this on Windows in
particular.

Aside from the lstat(2) done for work tree files, there are
quite many lstat(2) calls in refname dwimming codepath. This
patch is not about reducing them.
* It adds a new ce_flag, CE_UPTODATE, that is meant to mark the
cache entries that record a regular file blob that is up to
date in the work tree. If somebody later walks the index and
wants to see if the work tree has changes, they do not have
to be checked with lstat(2) again.
* fill_stat_cache_info() marks the cache entry it just added
with CE_UPTODATE. This has the effect of marking the paths
we write out of the index and lstat(2) immediately as "no
need to lstat -- we know it is up-to-date", from quite a lot
fo callers:
- git-apply --index
- git-update-index
- git-checkout-index
- git-add (uses add_file_to_index())
- git-commit (ditto)
- git-mv (ditto)
* refresh_cache_ent() also marks the cache entry that are clean
with CE_UPTODATE.
* write_index is changed not to write CE_UPTODATE out to the
index file, because CE_UPTODATE is meant to be transient only
in core. For the same reason, CE_UPDATE is not written to
prevent an accident from happening.

We currently use lower 12-bit (masked with CE_NAMEMASK) in the
ce_flags field to store the length of the name in cache_entry,
without checking the length parameter given to
create_ce_flags(). This can make us store incorrect length.
Currently we are mostly protected by the fact that many
codepaths first copy the path in a variable of size PATH_MAX,
which typically is 4096 that happens to match the limit, but
that feels like a bug waiting to happen. Besides, that would
not allow us to shorten the width of CE_NAMEMASK to use the bits
for new flags.
This redefines the meaning of the name length stored in the
cache_entry. A name that does not fit is represented by storing
CE_NAMEMASK in the field, and the actual length needs to be
computed by actually counting the bytes in the name[] field.
This way, only the unusually long paths need to suffer.

This converts the index explicitly on read and write to its on-disk

In particular, the in-core format is now host-endian (as opposed to the
on-disk one that is network endian in order to be able to be shared
across machines) and as a result we can dispense with all the
htonl/ntohl on accesses to the cache_entry fields.
This will make it easier to make use of various temporary flags that do

From the user's point of view:
- If you realize that you should have typed e.g. "git push http
master" instead of "git push http", you will have to wait for 10
minutes for the lock to expire by its own.
- Furthermore, if somebody else is dumb enough to type "git push http"

This tightens the parsing of a commit object in a couple of ways.
- The "tree " header must end with a LF (earlier we did not
check this condition).
- Make sure parsing of timestamp on the "committer " header
does not go beyond the buffer, even when (1) the "author "
header does not end with a LF (this means that the commit
object is malformed and lacks the committer information) or
(2) the "committer " header does not have ">" that is the end
of the e-mail address, or (3) the "committer " header does
not end with a LF.
We however still keep the existing behaviour to return a parsed
commit object even when non-structural headers such as committer
and author are malformed, so that tools that need to look at
commits to clean up a history with such broken commits can still
get at the structural data (i.e. the parents chain and the tree

fast-import was relying on the fact that on most systems mmap() and
write() are synchronized by the filesystem's buffer cache. We were
relying on the ability to mmap() 20 bytes beyond the current end
of the file, then later fill in those bytes with a future write()
call, then read them through the previously obtained mmap() address.
This isn't always true with some implementations of NFS, but it is
especially not true with our NO_MMAP=YesPlease build time option used
on some platforms. If fast-import was built with NO_MMAP=YesPlease
we used the malloc()+pread() emulation and the subsequent write()
call does not update the trailing 20 bytes of a previously obtained
"mmap()" (aka malloc'd) address.
Under NO_MMAP that behavior causes unpack_entry() in sha1_file.c to
be unable to read an object header (or data) that has been unlucky
enough to be written to the packfile at a location such that it
is in the trailing 20 bytes of a window previously opened on that
same packfile.
This bug has gone unnoticed for a very long time as it is highly data
dependent. Not only does the object have to be placed at the right
position, but it also needs to be positioned behind some other object
that has been accessed due to a branch cache invalidation. In other
words the stars had to align just right, and if you did run into
this bug you probably should also have purchased a lottery ticket.
Fortunately the workaround is a lot easier than the bug explanation.
Before we allow unpack_entry() to read data from a pack window
that has also (possibly) been modified through write() we force
all existing windows on that packfile to be closed. By closing
the windows we ensure that any new access via the emulated mmap()
will reread the packfile, updating to the current file content.
This comes at a slight performance degredation as we cannot reuse
previously cached windows when we update the packfile. But it
is a fairly minor difference as the window closes happen at only
two points:
- When the packfile is finalized and its .idx is generated:
At this stage we are getting ready to update the refs and any
data access into the packfile is going to be random, and is
going after only the branch tips (to ensure they are valid).
Our existing windows (if any) are not likely to be positioned
at useful locations to access those final tip commits so we
probably were closing them before anyway.
- When the branch cache missed and we need to reload:
At this point fast-import is getting change commands for the next
commit and it needs to go re-read a tree object it previously
had written out to the packfile. What windows we had (if any)
are not likely to cover the tree in question so we probably were
closing them before anyway.
We do try to avoid unnecessarily closing windows in the second case
by checking to see if the packfile size has increased since the
last time we called unpack_entry() on that packfile. If the size
has not changed then we have not written additional data, and any
existing window is still vaild. This nicely handles the cases where
fast-import is going through a branch cache reload and needs to read
many trees at once. During such an event we are not likely to be
updating the packfile so we do not cycle the windows between reads.
With this change in place t9301-fast-export.sh (which was broken
by c3b0dec509) finally works again.

The lockfile API is a handy way to obtain a file that is cleaned
up if you die(). But sometimes you would need this sequence to
work:
1. hold_lock_file_for_update() to get a file descriptor for
writing;
2. write the contents out, without being able to decide if the
results should be committed or rolled back;
3. do something else that makes the decision --- and this
"something else" needs the lockfile not to have an open file
descriptor for writing (e.g. Windows do not want a open file
to be renamed);
4. call commit_lock_file() or rollback_lock_file() as
appropriately.
This adds close_lock_file() you can call between step 2 and 3 in
the above sequence.

This makes write_ref_sha1() more careful: it actually checks the SHA1 of
the ref it is updating, and refuses to update a ref with an object that it
cannot find.
Perhaps more importantly, it also refuses to update a branch head with a
non-commit object. I don't quite know *how* the stable series maintainers
were able to corrupt their repository to have a HEAD that pointed to a tag
rather than a commit object, but they did. Which results in a totally
broken repository that cannot be cloned or committed on.
So make it harder for people to shoot themselves in the foot like that.

not care about corrupted repositories whose refs point at

There are two heuristics in Git to detect whether a file is binary
or text. One in xdiff-interface.c (which is taken from GNU diff)
relies on existence of the NUL byte at the beginning. However,
convert.c used a different heuristic, which relied on the percent
of non-printable symbols (less than 1% for text files).
Due to differences in detection whether a file is binary or not,
it was possible that a file that diff treats as binary could be
treated as text by CRLF conversion. This is very confusing for a
user who sees that 'git diff' shows the file as binary expects it
to be added as binary.
This patch makes is_binary to consider any file that contains at
least one NUL character as binary, to ensure that the heuristics
used for CRLF conversion is tighter than what is used by diff.

If we apply a hunk in either direction this may change the file's
status. For example if a file is completely unstaged, and has at
least two hunks in it and the user stages one hunk the file will
change from "Modified, not staged" to "Portions staged for commit".
Resetting the file path causes our trace on this variable to fire;
that trace is used to update the file header in the diff viewer to
the file's current status.

Often users setup a few source files and get a project rolling
before they create a Git repository for it. In such cases the
core Git tools allow users to initialize a new repository by
simply running `git init` at the desired root level directory.
We need to allow the same situation in git-gui; if the user is
trying to make a new repository we should let them do that to any
location they chose. If the directory already exists and already
has files contained within it we still should allow the user to
create a repository there. However we still need to disallow
creating a repository on top of an existing repository.
