This is the base for making symlink detection in the middle fo a pathname saner and (much) more efficient. Under various loads, we want to verify that the full path leading up to a filename is a real directory tree, and that when we successfully do an 'lstat()' on a filename, we don't get a false positive due to a symlink in the middle of the path that git should have seen as a symlink, not as a normal path component. The 'has_symlink_leading_path()' function already did this, and cached a single level of symlink information, but didn't cache the _lack_ of a symlink, so the normal behaviour was actually the wrong way around, and we ended up doing an 'lstat()' on each path component to check that it was a real directory. This caches the last detected full directory and symlink entries, and speeds up especially deep directory structures a lot by avoiding to lstat() all the directories leading up to each entry in the index. [ This can - and should - probably be extended upon so that we eventually never do a bare 'lstat()' on any path entries at *all* when checking the index, but always check the full path carefully. Right now we do not generally check the whole path for all our normal quick index revalidation. We should also make sure that we're careful about all the invalidation, ie when we remove a link and replace it by a directory we should invalidate the symlink cache if it matches (and vice versa for the directory cache). But regardless, the basic function needs to be sane to do that. The old 'has_symlink_leading_path()' was not capable enough - or indeed the code readable enough - to really do that sanely. So I'm pushing this as not just an optimization, but as a base for further work. ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> |

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
