When we discover that we want to keep a negative rule, make sure to
clear the error variable, as it we otherwise return whatever was left by
the previous loop iteration.
This can be used by tools to show mesages about failing to communicate
with the server. The error message in this case will often contain the
server's error message, as far as it managed to send anything.
When we fail to read from stdout, it's typically because the URL was
wrong and the server process has sent some output over its stderr
output.
Read that output and set the error message to whatever we read from it.
We set an error if we get an error when reading, but we don't bother
setting an error message for write failing. This causes a cryptic error
to be shown to the user when the target filesystem is full.
These were left over from the culling as it's not clear which use-cases
might benefit from this. It is not clear that we want to support any
use-case which depends on changing the remote's idea of the base
refspecs rather than passing in different per-operation refspec list, so
remove these functions.
This function deals with functions doing IO which means the amount of
errors that can happen is quit large. It does not help if it always
ovewrites the underlying error message with a less understandable
version of "something went wrong".
Instead, only use this generic message if there was no error set by the
callback.
Instead of going through each entry we have and re-adding, which may not
even be correct for certain crlf options and has bad performance, use
the function which performs a diff against the worktree and try to add
and remove files from that list.
We currently iterate over all the entries and re-add them to the
index. While this provides correctness, it is wasteful as we try to
re-insert files which have not changed.
Instead, take a diff between the index and the worktree and only re-add
those which we already know have changed.
This is useful to send to the client while we're performing the work.
The reporting function has a force parameter which makes sure that we
do send out the message of 100% completed, even if this comes before the
next udpate window.
Instead of copying each object individually, as we'd been doing, use the
packbuilder which should be faster and give us some feedback.
While performing this change, we can hook up the packbuilder's writing
to the push progress so the caller knows how far along we are.
We currently first look in the loose object dir and then in the packs
for objects. When performing operations on recent history this has a
higher likelihood of hitting, but when we deal with operations which
look further back into the past, we start spending a large amount of
time getting ENOTENT from `access`.
Reversing the priorities means that long-running operations can get to
their objects faster, as we can look at the index data we have in memory
(or rather mapped) to figure out whether we have an object, which is
faster than going out to the filesystem.
The packed backend already implements an optimistic read algorithm by
first looking at the packs we know about and only going out to disk to
referesh if the object is not found which means that in the case where
we do have the object (which will be in the majority for anything that
traverses the graph) we can avoid going to to disk entirely to determine
whether an object exists.
Operations which look at recent history may take a slight impact, but
these would be operations which look a lot less at object and thus take
less time regardless.
The base refspecs changing can be a cause of confusion as to what is the
current base refspec set and complicate saving the remote's
configuration.
Change `git_remote_add_{fetch,push}()` to update the configuration
instead of an instance.
This finally makes `git_remote_save()` a no-op, it will be removed in a
later commit.
While this will rarely be different from the default, having it in the
remote adds yet another setting it has to keep around and can affect its
behaviour. Move it to the options.
Instead of having it set in a different place from every other callback,
put it the main structure. This removes some state from the remote and
makes it behave more like clone, where the constructors are passed via
the options.
As a first step in removing the repository-saving logic, don't allow
chaning the url or push url from a remote object, but change the
configuration on the configuration immediately.
Having the setting be different from calling its actions was not a great
idea and made for the sake of the wrong convenience.
Instead of that, accept either fetch options, push options or the
callbacks when dealing with the remote. The fetch options are currently
only the callbacks, but more options will be moved from setters and
getters on the remote to the options.
This does mean passing the same struct along the different functions but
the typical use-case will only call git_remote_fetch() or
git_remote_push() and so won't notice much difference.
The push object knows which remote it's associated with, and therefore
does not need to keep its own copy of the callbacks stored in the
remote.
Remove the copy and simply access the callbacks struct within the
remote.
Restricting files to size_t is a silly limitation. The loose backend
writes to a file directly, so there is no issue in using 63 bits for the
size.
We still assume that the header is going to fit in 64 bytes, which does
mean quite a bit smaller files due to the run-length encoding, but it's
still a much larger size than you would want Git to handle.
When handling attr matching, simply compare the directory path where the
attribute file resides to the path being matched. Skip over commonality
to allow us to compare the contents of the attribute file to the remainder
of the path.
This allows us to more easily compare the pattern directly to the path,
instead of trying to guess whether we want to compare the path's basename
or the full path based on whether the match was inside a containing
directory or not.
This also allows us to do fewer translations on the pattern (trying to
re-prefix it.)
When determining whether some file matches an attr pattern, do
not try to truncate the path to pass to fnmatch. When there is
no containing directory for an item (eg, from a .gitignore in the
root) this will cause us to truncate our path, which means that
we cannot do meaningful comparisons on it and we may have false
positives when trying to determine whether a given file is actually
a file or a folder (as we have lost the path's base information.)
This mangling was to allow fnmatch to compare a directory on disk to
the name of a directory, but it is unnecessary as our fnmatch accepts
FNM_LEADING_DIR.
We use a blocking socket and set the mode to AUTO_RETRY which means that
`SSL_write` and `SSL_read` will only return once the read or write has
been completed. We therefore don't need to handle partial writes or
re-try read due to a regenotiation.
While here, consider that a zero also indicates an error condition.
When writing a configuration file, we want to take a lock on the
new file (eg, `config.lock`) before opening the configuration file
(`config`) for reading so that we can prevent somebody from changing
the contents underneath us.
When updating a configuration file, we want to copy the old data
from the file to preserve comments and funny whitespace, instead
of writing it in some "canonical" format. Thus, we keep a
pointer to the start of the line and the line length to preserve
these things we don't care to rewrite.
Previously we would try to be clever when writing the configuration
file and try to stop parsing (and simply copy the rest of the old
file) when we either found the value we were trying to write,
or when we left the section that value was in, the assumption being
that there was no more work to do.
Regrettably, you can have another section with the same name later
in the file, and we must cope with that gracefully, thus we read the
whole file in order to write a new file.
Now, writing a file looks even more than reading. Pull the config
parsing out into its own function that can be used by both reading
and writing the configuration.
When checking out with a case-insensitive working directory, we
want to change the case of items in the working directory to
reflect changes that occured in the checkout target. Diff now
has an option to break case-changing renames into delete/add.
Using FindFirstFile and FindNextFile in win32 allows us to
use the directory information that is returned, instead of
us having to get the file attributes all over again, which
is a distinct cost savings on win32.
The _next method shouldn't take a path pointer (and a path_len
pointer) as 100% of current users use the full path and ignore
the filename.
Plus let's add some docs and a unit test.
Changed win32/path_w32.c to utilize NTFS' FindFirst..FindNext data instead of doing an lstat per file. Avoiding unnecessary directory opens and file scans reduces IO, improving overall performance. Effect is magnified due to NTFS being a kernel mode file system (as opposed to user mode).
In checkout.c and filter.c we were casting a sub struct
to a parent struct which breaks the strict aliasing rules
in C. However we can use .parent or .base to access the
parent struct to avoid the build warnings.
In remote.c the local variable error was not initialized
or updated in some cases. For unintialized error a build
warning will be generated. So always keep error variable
up-to-date.
