Fix it by explicitly checking for a dos drive prefix when verifying

Traditional "opportunistic index update" done by read-only "diff" and
"status" was about updating cached lstat(2) information in the index for
the next round. We missed another obvious optimization opportunity: when
there are racily clean entries that will cease to be racily clean by
updating $GIT_INDEX_FILE. Detect that case and write $GIT_INDEX_FILE out
to give it a newer timestamp.
Noticed by Lasse Makholm by stracing "git status" in a fresh checkout and
counting the number of open(2) calls.

When we had to refresh the index internally before running diff or status,
we opportunistically updated the $GIT_INDEX_FILE so that later invocation
of git can use the lstat(2) we already did in this invocation.

When MyDir/ABC/filea.txt is added to Git, the disk directory MyDir/ABC/
is renamed to mydir/aBc/, and then mydir/aBc/fileb.txt is added, the
index will contain MyDir/ABC/filea.txt and mydir/aBc/fileb.txt. Although
the earlier portions of this patch series account for those differences
in case, this patch makes the pathing consistent by folding the case of
newly added files against the first file added with that path.
In read-cache.c's add_to_index(), the index_name_exists() support used
for git status's case insensitive directory lookups is used to find the
proper directory case according to what the user already checked in.
That is, MyDir/ABC/'s case is used to alter the stored path for
fileb.txt to MyDir/ABC/fileb.txt (instead of mydir/aBc/fileb.txt).
This is especially important when cloning a repository to a case
sensitive file system. MyDir/ABC/ and mydir/aBc/ exist in the same
directory on a Windows machine, but on Linux, the files exist in two
separate directories. The update to add_to_index(), in effect, treats a
Windows file system as case sensitive by making path case consistent.

The rule has always been that a cache entry that is ce_uptodate(ce)
means that we already have checked the work tree entity and we know
there is no change in the work tree compared to the index, and nobody
should have to double check. Note that false ce_uptodate(ce) does not
mean it is known to be dirty---it only means we don't know if it is
clean.
There are a few codepaths (refresh-index and preload-index are among
them) that mark a cache entry as up-to-date based solely on the return
value from ie_match_stat(); this function uses lstat() to see if the
work tree entity has been touched, and for a submodule entry, if its
HEAD points at the same commit as the commit recorded in the index of
the superproject (a submodule that is not even cloned is considered
clean).
A submodule is no longer considered unmodified merely because its HEAD
matches the index of the superproject these days, in order to prevent
people from forgetting to commit in the submodule and updating the
superproject index with the new submodule commit, before commiting the
state in the superproject. However, the patch to do so didn't update
the codepath that marks cache entries up-to-date based on the updated
definition and instead worked it around by saying "we don't trust the
return value of ce_uptodate() for submodules."
This makes ce_uptodate() trustworthy again by not marking submodule
entries up-to-date.
The next step _could_ be to introduce a few "in-core" flag bits to
cache_entry structure to record "this entry is _known_ to be dirty",
call is_submodule_modified() from ie_match_stat(), and use these new
bits to avoid running this rather expensive check more than once, but
that can be a separate patch.

Exal Sibeaz pointed out that some git files are way too big, and that
add_files_to_cache() brings in all the diff machinery to any git binary
that needs the basic git SHA1 object operations from read-cache.c. Which
is pretty much all of them.
It's doubly silly, since add_files_to_cache() is only used by builtin
programs (add, checkout and commit), so it's fairly easily fixed by just
moving the thing to builtin-add.c, and avoiding the dependency entirely.
I initially argued to Exal that it would probably be best to try to depend
on smart compilers and linkers, but after spending some time trying to
make -ffunction-sections work and giving up, I think Exal was right, and
the fix is to just do some trivial cleanups like this.
This trivial cleanup results in pretty stunning file size differences.
The diff machinery really is mostly used by just the builtin programs, and
you have things like these trivial before-and-after numbers:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 torvalds torvalds 1727420 2010-01-21 10:53 git-hash-object
-rwxrwxr-x 1 torvalds torvalds 940265 2010-01-21 11:16 git-hash-object
Now, I'm not saying that 940kB is good either, but that's mostly all the
debug information - you can see the real code with 'size':
text data bss dec hex filename
418675 3920 127408 550003 86473 git-hash-object (before)
230650 2288 111728 344666 5425a git-hash-object (after)
ie we have a nice 24% size reduction from this trivial cleanup.
It's not just that one file either. I get:
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ du -s /home/torvalds/libexec/git-core
45640 /home/torvalds/libexec/git-core (before)
33508 /home/torvalds/libexec/git-core (after)
so we're talking 12MB of diskspace here.
(Of course, stripping all the binaries brings the 33MB down to 9MB, so the
whole debug information thing is still the bulk of it all, but that's a
separate issue entirely)
Now, I'm sure there are other things we should do, and changing our
compiler flags from -O2 to -Os would bring the text size down by an
additional almost 20%, but this thing Exal pointed out seems to be some
good low-hanging fruit.

Commit 9e8ecea (Add 'merge' mode to 'git reset', 2008-12-01) disallowed
"git reset --merge" when there was unmerged entries. But it wished if
unmerged entries were reset as if --hard (instead of --merge) has been
used. This makes sense because all "mergy" operations makes sure that
any path involved in the merge does not have local modifications before
starting, so resetting such a path away won't lose any information.
The previous commit changed the behavior of --merge to accept resetting
unmerged entries if they are reset to a different state than HEAD, but it
did not reset the changes in the work tree, leaving the conflict markers
in the resulting file in the work tree.
Fix it by doing three things:
- Update the documentation to match the wish of original "reset --merge"
better, namely, "An unmerged entry is a sign that the path didn't have
any local modification and can be safely resetted to whatever the new
HEAD records";
- Update read_index_unmerged(), which reads the index file into the cache
while dropping any higher-stage entries down to stage #0, not to copy
the object name from the higher stage entry. The code used to take the
object name from the a stage entry ("base" if you happened to have
stage #1, or "ours" if both sides added, etc.), which essentially meant
that you are getting random results depending on what the merge did.
The _only_ reason we want to keep a previously unmerged entry in the
index at stage #0 is so that we don't forget the fact that we have
corresponding file in the work tree in order to be able to remove it
when the tree we are resetting to does not have the path. In order to
differentiate such an entry from ordinary cache entry, the cache entry
added by read_index_unmerged() is marked as CE_CONFLICTED.
- Update merged_entry() and deleted_entry() so that they pay attention to
cache entries marked as CE_CONFLICTED. They are previously unmerged
entries, and the files in the work tree that correspond to them are
resetted away by oneway_merge() to the version from the tree we are
resetting to.

When resolving a conflict using "git add" to create a stage #0 entry, or
"git rm" to remove entries at higher stages, remove_index_entry_at()
function is eventually called to remove unmerged (i.e. higher stage)
entries from the index. Introduce a "resolve_undo_info" structure and
keep track of the removed cache entries, and save it in a new index
extension section in the index_state.
Operations like "read-tree -m", "merge", "checkout [-m] <branch>" and
"reset" are signs that recorded information in the index is no longer
necessary. The data is removed from the index extension when operations
start; they may leave conflicted entries in the index, and later user
actions like "git add" will record their conflicted states afresh.

Traditionally, the lack of USE_NSEC meant "do not record nor use the
nanosecond resolution part of the file timestamps". To avoid problems on
filesystems that lose the ns part when the metadata is flushed to the disk
and then later read back in, disabling USE_NSEC has been a good idea in
general.
If you are on a filesystem without such an issue, it does not hurt to read
and store them in the cached stat data in the index entries even if your
git is compiled without USE_NSEC. The index left with such a version of
git can be read by git compiled with USE_NSEC and it can make use of the
nanosecond part to optimize the check to see if the path on the filesystem
hsa been modified since we last looked at.

Since this timestamp is used to check for racy-clean files, it is
important to keep it uptodate.
For the 'git checkout' command without the '-q' option, this make a
huge difference. Before, each and every file which was updated, was
racy-clean after the call to unpack_trees() and write_index() but
before the GIT process ended.
And because of the call to show_local_changes() in builtin-checkout.c,
we ended up reading those files back into memory, doing a SHA1 to
check if the files was really different from the index. And, of
course, no file was different.
With this fix, 'git checkout' without the '-q' option should now be
almost as fast as with the '-q' option, but not quite, as we still do
some few lstat(2) calls more without the '-q' option.
Below is some average numbers for 10 checkout's to v2.6.27 and 10 to
v2.6.25 of the Linux kernel, to show the difference:

Since the filesystem ext4 is now defined as stable in Linux v2.6.28,
and ext4 supports nanonsecond resolution timestamps natively, it is
time to make USE_NSEC work as expected.
This will make racy git situations less likely to happen. For 'git
checkout' this means it will be less likely that we have to open, read
the contents of the file into RAM, and check if file is really
modified or not. The result sould be a litle less used CPU time, less
pagefaults and a litle faster program, at least for 'git checkout'.
Since the number of possible racy git situations would increase when
disks gets faster, this patch would be more and more helpfull as times
go by. For a fast Solid State Disk, this patch should be helpfull.
Note that, when file operations starts to take less than 1 nanosecond,
one would again start to get more racy git situations.

Notice the memmove line, where the CPU did 7710 / 277 = 27.8 cycles
per instruction, and compared to the total cycles spent inside the
source code of GIT for this command, all the memmove() calls
translates to (7710 * 100) / 14775 = 52.2% of this.
Retesting with a GIT program compiled for gcov usage, I found out that
the memmove() calls came from remove_index_entry_at() in read-cache.c,
where we have:
memmove(istate->cache + pos,
istate->cache + pos + 1,
(istate->cache_nr - pos) * sizeof(struct cache_entry *));
remove_index_entry_at() is called 4902 times from check_updates() in
unpack-trees.c, and each time called we move each cache_entry pointers
(from the removed one) one step to the left.
Since we have 28828 entries in the cache this time, and if we on
average move half of them each time, we in total move approximately
4902 * 0.5 * 28828 * 4 = 282 629 712 bytes, or twice this amount if
each pointer is 8 bytes (64 bit).
OK, is seems that the function check_updates() is called 28 times, so
the estimated guess above had been more correct if check_updates() had
been called only once, but the point is: we get lots of bytes moved.
To fix this, and use an O(N) algorithm instead, where N is the number
of cache_entries, we delete/remove all entries in one loop through all
entries.
From a retest, the new remove_marked_cache_entries() from the patch
below, ended up with the following output line from oprofile:
46 0.0105 15 0.0041 git remove_marked_cache_entries
If we can trust the numbers from oprofile in this case, we saved
approximately ((7710 - 46) * 20000) / (2 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000) = 0.077
seconds CPU time with this fix for this particular test. And notice
that now the CPU did only 46 / 15 = 3.1 cycles/instruction.

This uses the extended index flag mechanism introduced earlier to mark

The logic to detect an "intent to add" entry for the purpose of allowing
"git rm --cached $path" is tightened to check not just for a staged empty
blob, but with the CE_INTENT_TO_ADD bit. This protects an empty blob that
was explicitly added and then modified in the work tree from being dropped
with this sequence:

$ git add empty
$ echo "non empty" >empty

RelNotes
Earlier commit 5521883 (checkout: do not lose staged removal, 2008-09-07)
tightened the rule to prevent switching branches from losing local
changes, so that staged removal of paths can be protected, while
attempting to keep a loophole to still allow a special case of switching
out of an un-checked-out state.
However, the loophole was made a bit too tight, and did not allow
switching from one branch (in an un-checked-out state) to check out
another branch.
The change to builtin-checkout.c in this commit loosens it to allow this,
by not insisting the original commit and the new commit to be the same.
It also introduces a new function, is_index_unborn (and an associated
macro, is_cache_unborn), to check if the repository is truly in an
un-checked-out state more reliably, by making sure that $GIT_INDEX_FILE
did not exist when populating the in-core index structure. A few places
the earlier commit 5521883 added the check for the initial checkout
condition are updated to use this function.

If a file is different between the working tree copy, the index, and the
HEAD, then we do not allow it to be deleted without --force.
However, this is overly tight in the face of "git add --intent-to-add":
$ git add --intent-to-add file
$ : oops, I don't actually want to stage that yet
$ git rm --cached file
error: 'empty' has staged content different from both the
file and the HEAD (use -f to force removal)
$ git rm -f --cached file
Unfortunately, there is currently no way to distinguish between an empty
file that has been added and an "intent to add" file. The ideal behavior
would be to disallow the former while allowing the latter.
This patch loosens the safety valve to allow the deletion only if we are
deleting the cached entry and the cached content is empty. This covers
the intent-to-add situation, and assumes there is little harm in not
protecting users who have legitimately added an empty file. In many
cases, the file will still be empty, in which case the safety valve does
not trigger anyway (since the content remains untouched in the working
tree). Otherwise, we do remove the fact that no content was staged, but
given that the content is by definition empty, it is not terribly
difficult for a user to recreate it.
However, we still document the desired behavior in the form of two
tests. One checks the correct removal of an intent-to-add file. The other
checks that we still disallow removal of empty files, but is marked as
expect_failure to indicate this compromise. If the intent-to-add feature
is ever extended to differentiate between normal empty files and
intent-to-add files, then the safety valve can be re-tightened.

When the "git status" display code was originally converted
to C, we copied the code from ls-files to discover whether a
pathname returned by read_directory was an "other", or
untracked, file.
Much later, 5698454e updated the code in ls-files to handle
some new cases caused by gitlinks. This left the code in
wt-status.c broken: it would display submodule directories
as untracked directories. Nobody noticed until now, however,
because unless status.showUntrackedFiles was set to "all",
submodule directories were not actually reported by
read_directory. So the bug was only triggered in the
presence of a submodule _and_ this config option.
This patch pulls the ls-files code into a new function,
cache_name_is_other, and uses it in both places. This should
leave the ls-files functionality the same and fix the bug

The new entry format will be used when CE_EXTENDED bit is 1.
Because older implementation may not understand CE_EXTENDED bit and
misread the new format, if there is any extended entry in index, index

unpack_trees(): protect the handcrafted in-core index from read_cache()
git-p4: Fix one-liner in p4_write_pipe function.
Completion: add missing '=' for 'diff --diff-filter'
Fix 'git help help'
unpack_trees() rebuilds the in-core index from scratch by allocating a new
structure and finishing it off by copying the built one to the final
index.
The resulting in-core index is Ok for most use, but read_cache() does not
recognize it as such. The function is meant to be no-op if you already
have loaded the index, until you call discard_cache().
This change the way read_cache() detects an already initialized in-core
index, by introducing an extra bit, and marks the handcrafted in-core
index as initialized, to avoid this problem.
A better fix in the longer term would be to change the read_cache() API so
that it will always discard and re-read from the on-disk index to avoid
confusion. But there are higher level API that have relied on the current
semantics, and they and their users all need to get converted, which is
outside the scope of 'maint' track.
An example of such a higher level API is write_cache_as_tree(), which is
used by git-write-tree as well as later Porcelains like git-merge, revert
and cherry-pick. In the longer term, we should remove read_cache() from
there and add one to cmd_write_tree(); other callers expect that the
in-core index they prepared is what gets written as a tree so no other
change is necessary for this particular codepath.
The original version of this patch marked the index by pointing an
otherwise wasted malloc'ed memory with o->result.alloc, but this version
uses Linus's idea to use a new "initialized" bit, which is conceptually
much cleaner.

The ie_modified() function is the workhorse for refresh_cache_entry(),
i.e. checking if an index entry that is stat-dirty actually has changes.
After running quicker check to compare cached stat information with
results from the latest lstat(2) to answer "has modification" early, the
code goes on to check if there really is a change by comparing the staged
data with what is on the filesystem by asking ce_modified_check_fs().
However, this function always said "no change" for any gitlinks that has a
directory at the corresponding path. This made ie_modified() to miss
actual changes in the subproject.
The patch fixes this first by modifying an existing short-circuit logic
before calling the ce_modified_check_fs() function. It knows that for any
filesystem entity to which ie_match_stat() says its data has changed, if
its cached size is nonzero then the contents cannot match, which is a
correct optimization only for blob objects. We teach gitlink objects to
this special case, as we already know that any gitlink that
ie_match_stat() says is modified is indeed modified at this point in the
codepath.
With the above change, we could leave ce_modified_check_fs() broken, but
it also futureproofs the code by teaching it to use ce_compare_gitlink(),
instead of assuming (incorrectly) that any directory is unchanged.

The rewrite of git-mv from a shell script to a builtin was perhaps
a little too straightforward: the git add and git rm queues were
emulated directly, which resulted in a rather complicated code and
caused an inconsistent behaviour when moving dirty index entries;
git mv would update the entry based on working tree state,
except in case of overwrites, where the new entry would still have
sha1 of the old file.
This patch introduces rename_index_entry_at() into the index toolkit,
which will rename an entry while removing any entries the new entry
might render duplicate. This is then used in git mv instead
of all the file queues, resulting in a major simplification
of the code and an inevitable change in git mv -n output format.
Also the code used to refuse renaming overwriting symlink with a regular
file and vice versa; there is no need for that.
A few new tests have been added to the testsuite to reflect this change.

"git update-index --refresh", "git reset" and "git add --refresh" have

Although this is logically correct in that you need to update the index at
that path before you can commit that change, it is now becoming more and
more clear, especially with the continuous push for user friendliness
since 1.5.0 series, that the message is suboptimal. After all, the change
may be something the user might want to get rid of, and "updating" would
be absolutely a wrong thing to do if that is the case.
I prepared two alternatives to solve this. Both aim to reword the message
to more neutral "locally modified".

"update-index" intact.

The commit sequence used to do
if (file_exists(p->path))
add_file_to_cache(p->path, 0);
where both "file_exists()" and "add_file_to_cache()" needed to do a
lstat() on the path to do their work.
This cuts down 'lstat()' calls for the partial commit case by two
for each path we know about (because we do this twice per path).
Just move the lstat() to the caller instead (that's all that
"file_exists()" really does), and pass the stat information down to the
add_to_cache() function.
This essentially makes 'add_to_index()' the core function that adds a path
to the index, getting the index pointer, the pathname and the stat
information as arguments. There are then shorthand helper functions that
use this core function:
- 'add_to_cache()' is just 'add_to_index()' with the default index
- 'add_file_to_cache/index()' is the same, but does the lstat() call
itself, so you can pass just the pathname if you don't already have the
stat information available.
So old users of the 'add_file_to_xyzzy()' are essentially left unchanged,
and this just exposes the more generic helper function that can take
existing stat information into account.

This new helper is identical to base_name_compare(), except it compares

conflicts (thus the name).
Note that while a directory name compares as equal to a regular file
with the new helper, they then individually compare _differently_ to a
filename that has a dot after the basename (because '\0' < '.' < '/').
So a directory called "foo/" will compare equal to a file "foo", even
though "foo.c" will compare after "foo" and before "foo/"

We handled the case of removing and re-inserting cache entries badly,
which is something that merging commonly needs to do (removing the
different stages, and then re-inserting one of them as the merged
state).
We even had a rather ugly special case for this failure case, where
replace_index_entry() basically turned itself into a no-op if the new
and the old entries were the same, exactly because the hash routines
didn't handle it on their own.
So what this patch does is to not just have the UNHASHED bit, but a
HASHED bit too, and when you insert an entry into the name hash, that
involves:
- clear the UNHASHED bit, because now it's valid again for lookup
(which is really all that UNHASHED meant)
- if we're being lazy, we're done here (but we still want to clear the
UNHASHED bit regardless of lazy mode, since we can become unlazy
later, and so we need the UNHASHED bit to always be set correctly,
even if we never actually insert the entry into the hash list)
- if it was already hashed, we just leave it on the list
- otherwise mark it HASHED and insert it into the list
this all means that unhashing and rehashing a name all just works
automatically. Obviously, you cannot change the name of an entry (that
would be a serious bug), but nothing can validly do that anyway (you'd
have to allocate a new struct cache_entry anyway since the name length
could change), so that's not a new limitation.
The code actually gets simpler in many ways, although the lazy hashing
does mean that there are a few odd cases (ie something can be marked
unhashed even though it was never on the hash in the first place, and
isn't actually marked hashed!).

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.

This converts the index explicitly on read and write to its on-disk
format, allowing the in-core format to contain more flags, and be
simpler.
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

Aside from the lstat(2) done for work tree files, there are

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.

ce_match_stat, run_diff_files: use symbolic constants for readability
Conflicts:
builtin-add.c
Earlier in commit 0781b8a9b2
(add_file_to_index: skip rehashing if the cached stat already
matches), add_file_to_index() were taught not to re-add the path
if it already matches the index.
The change meant well, but was not executed quite right. It
used ie_modified() to see if the file on the work tree is really
different from the index, and skipped adding the contents if the
function says "not modified".
This was wrong. There are three possible comparison results
between the index and the file in the work tree:
- with lstat(2) we _know_ they are different. E.g. if the
length or the owner in the cached stat information is
different from the length we just obtained from lstat(2), we
can tell the file is modified without looking at the actual
contents.
- with lstat(2) we _know_ they are the same. The same length,
the same owner, the same everything (but this has a twist, as
described below).
- we cannot tell from lstat(2) information alone and need to go
to the filesystem to actually compare.
The last case arises from what we call 'racy git' situation,
that can be caused with this sequence:
$ echo hello >file
$ git add file
$ echo aeiou >file ;# the same length
If the second "echo" is done within the same filesystem
timestamp granularity as the first "echo", then the timestamp
recorded by "git add" and the timestamp we get from lstat(2)
will be the same, and we can mistakenly say the file is not
modified. The path is called 'racily clean'. We need to
reliably detect racily clean paths are in fact modified.
To solve this problem, when we write out the index, we mark the
index entry that has the same timestamp as the index file itself
(that is the time from the point of view of the filesystem) to
tell any later code that does the lstat(2) comparison not to
trust the cached stat info, and ie_modified() then actually goes
to the filesystem to compare the contents for such a path.
That's all good, but it should not be used for this "git add"
optimization, as the goal of "git add" is to actually update the
path in the index and make it stat-clean. With the false
optimization, we did _not_ cause any data loss (after all, what
we failed to do was only to update the cached stat information),
but it made the following sequence leave the file stat dirty:
$ echo hello >file
$ git add file
$ echo hello >file ;# the same contents
$ git add file
The solution is not to use ie_modified() which goes to the
filesystem to see if it is really clean, but instead use
ie_match_stat() with "assume racily clean paths are dirty"
option, to force re-adding of such a path.
There was another problem with "git add -u". The codepath
shares the same issue when adding the paths that are found to be
modified, but in addition, it asked "git diff-files" machinery
run_diff_files() function (which is "git diff-files") to list
the paths that are modified. But "git diff-files" machinery
uses the same ie_modified() call so that it does not report
racily clean _and_ actually clean paths as modified, which is
not what we want.
The patch allows the callers of run_diff_files() to pass the
same "assume racily clean paths are dirty" option, and makes
"git-add -u" codepath to use that option, to discover and re-add
racily clean _and_ actually clean paths.
We could further optimize on top of this patch to differentiate
the case where the path really needs re-adding (i.e. the content
of the racily clean entry was indeed different) and the case
where only the cached stat information needs to be refreshed
(i.e. the racily clean entry was actually clean), but I do not
think it is worth it.
This patch applies to maint and all the way up.

Earlier, add_file_to_index() invalidated the path in the cache-tree
but remove_file_from_cache() did not, and the user of the latter
needed to invalidate the entry himself. This led to a few bugs due to
missed invalidate calls already. This patch makes the management of
cache-tree less error prone by making more invalidate calls from lower
level cache API functions.
The rules are:
- If you are going to write the index, you should either maintain
cache_tree correctly.
- If you cannot, alternatively you can remove the entire cache_tree
by calling cache_tree_free() before you call write_cache().
- When you modify the index, cache_tree_invalidate_path() should be
called with the path you are modifying, to discard the entry from
the cache-tree structure.
- The following cache API functions exported from read-cache.c (and
the macro whose names have "cache" instead of "index")
automatically call cache_tree_invalidate_path() for you:
- remove_file_from_index();
- add_file_to_index();
- add_index_entry();
You can modify the index bypassing the above API functions
(e.g. find an existing cache entry from the index and modify it in
place). You need to call cache_tree_invalidate_path() yourself in
such a case.

The read_tree() function is called only from the call chain to
run "git diff --cached" (this includes the internal call made by
git-runstatus to run_diff_index()). The function vacates stage
without any funky "merge" magic. The caller then goes and
compares stage #1 entries from the tree with stage #0 entries
from the original index.
When adding the cache entries this way, it used the general
purpose add_cache_entry(). This function looks for an existing
entry to replace or if there is none to find where to insert the
new entry, resolves D/F conflict and all the other things.
For the purpose of reading entries into an empty stage, none of
that processing is needed. We can instead append everything and
then sort the result at the end.
This commit changes read_tree() to first make sure that there is
no existing cache entries at specified stage, and if that is the
case, it runs add_cache_entry() with ADD_CACHE_JUST_APPEND flag
(new), and then sort the resulting cache using qsort().
This new flag tells add_cache_entry() to omit all the checks
such as "Does this path already exist? Does adding this path
remove other existing entries because it turns a directory to a
file?" and instead append the given cache entry straight at the
end of the active cache. The caller of course is expected to
sort the resulting cache at the end before using the result.

This is the promised cleaned-up version of teaching directory traversal
(ie the "read_directory()" logic) about subprojects. That makes "git add"
understand to add/update subprojects.
It now knows to look at the index file to see if a directory is marked as
a subproject, and use that as information as whether it should be recursed
into or not.
It also generally cleans up the handling of directory entries when
traversing the working tree, by splitting up the decision-making process
into small functions of their own, and adding a fair number of comments.
Finally, it teaches "add_file_to_cache()" that directory names can have
slashes at the end, since the directory traversal adds them to make the
difference between a file and a directory clear (it always did that, but
my previous too-ugly-to-apply subproject patch had a totally different

This fixes a total thinko in my original series: subprojects do *not* sort
like directories, because the index is sorted purely by full pathname, and
since a subproject shows up in the index as a normal NUL-terminated
string, it never has the issues with sorting with the '/' at the end.
So if you have a subproject "proj" and a file "proj.c", the subproject
sorts alphabetically before the file in the index (and must thus also sort
that way in a tree object, since trees sort as the index).
In contrast, it you have two files "proj/file" and "proj.c", the "proj.c"
will sort alphabetically before "proj/file" in the index. The index
itself, of course, does not actually contain an entry "proj/", but in the
*tree* that gets written out, the tree entry "proj" will sort after the
file entry "proj.c", which is the only real magic sorting rule.
In other words: the magic sorting rule only affects tree entries, and
*only* affects tree entries that point to other trees (ie are of the type
S_IFDIR).
Anyway, that thinko just means that we should remove the special case to
make S_ISDIRLNK entries sort like S_ISDIR entries. They don't. They sort
like normal files.

link, it is impossible to check out the working copy.
This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible
to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag
core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate
that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic
links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and
checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in
the database (as long as an entry exists in the index).
Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective
file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies
on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

file A/B in it in the index, 'git add' did not succeed because
it forgot to pass the allow-replace flag to add_cache_entry().
It might be safer to leave this as an error and require the user
to explicitly remove the existing A first before adding A/B
since it is an unusual case, but doing that automatically is
much easier to use.

When you remove a directory D that has a tracked file D/F out of the
way to create a file D and try to "git update-index --add D", it used
to say "cannot add" which was not very helpful. This issues an extra
error message to explain the situation before the final "fatal" message.
Since D/F conflicts are relatively rare event, extra verbosity would

On Solaris nanosleep(2) is not available in libc; you need to
link with -lrt to get it.
The purpose of the loop is to wait until the next filesystem
timestamp granularity, and the code uses subsecond sleep in the
hope that it can shorten the delay to 0.5 seconds on average
instead of a full second. It is probably not worth depending on
an extra library for this.
We might want to yank out the whole "racy-git avoidance is
costly later at runtime, so let's delay writing the index out"
codepath later, but that is a separate issue and needs some
testing on large trees to figure it out. After playing with the
kernel tree, I have a feeling that the whole thing may not be

Immediately after a bulk checkout, most of the paths in the
working tree would have the same timestamp as the index file,
and this would force ce_match_stat() to take slow path for all

have very new (read: the same timestamp as the index file being
written out) timestamp, we are better off delaying the return
from the command, to make sure that later command to touch the
working tree files will leave newer timestamps than recorded in
the index, thereby avoiding to take the slow path.

This is just an update for people being interested. Alex and me were
busy with that project for a few days now. While it has progressed nicely,
there are quite a couple TODOs in merge-recursive.c, just search for "TODO".
For impatient people: yes, it passes all the tests, and yes, according
to the evil test Alex did, it is faster than the Python script.
But no, it is not yet finished. Biggest points are:
- there are still three external calls
- in the end, it should not be necessary to write the index more than once
(just before exiting)
- a lot of things can be refactored to make the code easier and shorter
BTW we cannot just plug in git-merge-tree yet, because git-merge-tree
does not handle renames at all.
This patch is meant for testing, and as such,
- it compile the program to git-merge-recur
- it adjusts the scripts and tests to use git-merge-recur instead of
git-merge-recursive
- it provides "TEST", a script to execute the tests regarding -recursive
- it inlines the changes to read-cache.c (read_cache_from(), discard_cache()
and refresh_cache_entry())

read-cache.c, but it also has to change the calling convention so that the

flags variables for passing down the information about whether to be quiet
or not, and allow unmerged entries etc.
That actually cleans up update-index.c too, since it turns out that all
those flags were really specific to that one function of the index update,
so they shouldn't have had file-scope visibility even before.

This adds "assume unchanged" logic, started by this message in the list
discussion recently:
<Pine.LNX.4.64.0601311807470.7301@g5.osdl.org>
This is a workaround for filesystems that do not have lstat()
that is quick enough for the index mechanism to take advantage
of. On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user
needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name
to be in the next commit.
You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the
CE_VALID bit:
git-update-index --assume-unchanged path...
git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path...
These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change
the object name recorded in the index file. Nor they add a new
entry to the index.
When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set,
the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically
after:
- update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the
index file.
- when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date.
- when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working
tree file and register the current object name to the index file.
The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index
entry. This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings.
Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be
unchanged most of the time. However, there are cases that
CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability:
- while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure
that the paths involved in the merge do not have local
modifications. This sacrifices performance for safety.
- when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs
to checkout the paths. Otherwise you can never check
anything out ;-).
- when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to
see if the index entry is up to date. You can start with
everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop
CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified.
Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does
not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working
tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the
index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index
--no-assume-unchanged path".
This version is not expected to be perfect. I think diff
between index and/or tree and working files may need some
adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should
automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID.
But the basics seem to work, and ready to be tested by people
who asked for this feature.

This fixes the longstanding "Racy GIT" problem, which was pretty
much there from the beginning of time, but was first
demonstrated by Pasky in this message on October 24, 2005:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=113014629716878
If you run the following sequence of commands:
echo frotz >infocom
git update-index --add infocom
echo xyzzy >infocom
so that the second update to file "infocom" does not change
st_mtime, what is recorded as the stat information for the cache
entry "infocom" exactly matches what is on the filesystem
(owner, group, inum, mtime, ctime, mode, length). After this
sequence, we incorrectly think "infocom" file still has string
"frotz" in it, and get really confused. E.g. git-diff-files
would say there is no change, git-update-index --refresh would
not even look at the filesystem to correct the situation.
Some ways of working around this issue were already suggested by
Linus in the same thread on the same day, including waiting
until the next second before returning from update-index if a
cache entry written out has the current timestamp, but that
means we can make at most one commit per second, and given that
the e-mail patch workflow used by Linus needs to process at
least 5 commits per second, it is not an acceptable solution.
Linus notes that git-apply is primarily used to update the index
while processing e-mailed patches, which is true, and
git-apply's up-to-date check is fooled by the same problem but
luckily in the other direction, so it is not really a big issue,
but still it is disturbing.
The function ce_match_stat() is called to bypass the comparison
against filesystem data when the stat data recorded in the cache
entry matches what stat() returns from the filesystem. This
patch tackles the problem by changing it to actually go to the
filesystem data for cache entries that have the same mtime as
the index file itself. This works as long as the index file and
working tree files are on the filesystems that share the same
monotonic clock. Files on network mounted filesystems sometimes
get skewed timestamps compared to "date" output, but as long as
working tree files' timestamps are skewed the same way as the
index file's, this approach still works. The only problematic
files are the ones that have the same timestamp as the index
file's, because two file updates that sandwitch the index file
update must happen within the same second to trigger the
problem.

This starts using the "user.name" and "user.email" config variables if
they exist as the default name and email when committing. This means
that you don't have to use the GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variable
to override your email - you can just edit the config file instead.
The patch looks bigger than it is because it makes the default name and
email information non-static and renames it appropriately. And it moves
the common git environment variables into a new library file, so that
you can link against libgit.a and get the git environment without having
to link in zlib and libcrypt.
In short, most of it is renaming and moving, the real change core is
just a few new lines in "git_default_config()" that copies the user
config values to the new base.
It also changes "git-var -l" to list the config variables.

With "[core] filemode = false", you can tell git to ignore
differences in the working tree file only in executable bit.
* "git-update-index --refresh" does not say "needs update" if index
entry and working tree file differs only in executable bit.
* "git-update-index" on an existing path takes executable bit
from the existing index entry, if the path and index entry are
both regular files.
* "git-diff-files" and "git-diff-index" without --cached flag
pretend the path on the filesystem has the same executable
bit as the existing index entry, if the path and index entry
are both regular files.
If you are on a filesystem with unreliable mode bits, you may need to
force the executable bit after registering the path in the index.
* "git-update-index --chmod=+x foo" flips the executable bit of the
index file entry for path "foo" on. Use "--chmod=-x" to flip it
off.
Note that --chmod only works in index file and does not look at nor
update the working tree.
So if you are on a filesystem and do not have working executable bit,
you would do:
1. set the appropriate .git/config option;
2. "git-update-index --add new-file.c"
3. "git-ls-files --stage new-file.c" to see if it has the desired
mode bits. If not, e.g. to drop executable bit picked up from the
filesystem, say "git-update-index --chmod=-x new-file.c".

This is a first cut at a very simple parser for a git config file.
The format of the file is a simple ini-file like thing, with simple
variable/value pairs. You can (and should) make the variables have a
simple single-level scope, ie a valid file looks something like this:
#
# This is the config file, and
# a '#' or ';' character indicates
# a comment
#
; core variables
[core]
; Don't trust file modes
filemode = false
; Our diff algorithm
[diff]
external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u"
renames = true
which parses into three variables: "core.filemode" is associated with the
string "false", and "diff.external" gets the appropriate quoted value.
Right now we only react to one variable: "core.filemode" is a boolean that
decides if we should care about the 0100 (user-execute) bit of the stat
information. Even that is just a parsing demonstration - this doesn't
actually implement that st_mode compare logic itself.
Different programs can react to different config options, although they
should always fall back to calling "git_default_config()" on any config
option name that they don't recognize.

Instead of "git status" ignoring (and hiding) potential errors from the

This also avoids marking the index "changed" if an entry isn't actually

Of course, other filesystems may not even have stable inode numbers.
