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...

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.

packed_object_info_detail() API which is rather expensive.

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.

An object found in the delta-base cache is not guaranteed to
stay there, but we know it came from a pack and it is likely
to give us a quick access if we read_sha1_file() it right now,

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
asked). The new interface wraps its implementation and exposes a bit
more pieces of information that the interface used to discard, namely:
- where the object is stored (loose? cached? packed?)
- if packed, where in which packfile?

* 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.
The return codes of git_config_set() and friends are magic numbers right
in the source. #define them in cache.h where the functions are declared,
and use the constants in the source.
Also, mention the resulting exit codes of "git config" in its man page

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.

"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 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.

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
