When considering status of untracked directories, if we find an
explicitly ignored item, even if it is a directory, treat the
parent as an IGNORED item. It was accidentally being treated as
an EMPTY item because we were not looking into the ignored subdir.
The current FETCH_HEAD parsing code assumes that a quote must end the
branch name. Git however allows for quotes as part of a branch name,
which causes us to consider the FETCH_HEAD file as invalid.
Instead of searching for a single quote char, search for a quote char
followed by SP, which is not a valid part of a ref name.
In the iterator, distinguish between ignores and empty directories
so that diff and status can ignore empty directories, but checkout
and stash can treat them as untracked items.
When diff finds an untracked directory, it emulates Git behavior
by looking inside the directory to see if there are any untracked
items inside it. If there are only ignored items inside the dir,
then diff considers it ignored, even if there is no direct ignore
rule for it.
Checkout was not copying this behavior - when it found an untracked
directory, it just treated it as untracked. Unfortunately, when
combined with GIT_CHECKOUT_REMOVE_UNTRACKED, this made is seem that
checkout (and stash, which uses checkout) was removing ignored
items when you had only asked it to remove untracked ones.
This commit moves the logic for advancing past an untracked dir
while scanning for non-ignored items into an iterator helper fn,
and uses that for both diff and checkout.
To emulate git, stash should not remove untracked git repositories
inside the parent repo, and checkout's REMOVE_UNTRACKED should
also skip over these items.
`git stash` actually prints a warning message for these items.
That should be possible with a checkout notify callback if you
wanted to, although it would require a bit of extra logic as things
are at the moment.
This takes the `--stat` and related example options in the example
diff.c program and converts them to use the `git_diff_get_stats`
API which nicely formats stats for you.
I went to add bar-graph scaling to the stats formatter and noticed
that the `git_diff_stats` structure was holding on to all of the
`git_patch` objects. Unfortunately, each of these objects keeps
the full text of the diff in memory, so this is very expensive. I
ended up modifying `git_diff_stats` to keep just the data that it
needs to keep and allowed it to release the patches. Then, I added
width scaling to the output on top of that.
In making the diff example program match 'git diff' output, I ended
up removing an newline from the sumamry output which I then had to
compensate for in the email formatting to match the expectations.
Lastly, I went through and refactored the tests to use a couple of
helper functions and reduce the overall amount of code there.
I was playing with "git diff-index" and wanted to be able to
emulate that behavior a little more closely with the diff example.
Also, I wanted to play with running `git_diff_tree_to_workdir`
directly even though core Git doesn't exactly have the equivalent,
so I added a command line option for that and tweaked some other
things in the example code.
This changes a minor output thing in that the "raw" print helper
function will no longer add ellipses (...) if the OID is not
actually abbreviated.
Allow the credentials callback to return GIT_PASSTHROUGH to make the
transports code behave as though none was set.
This should make it easier for bindings to behave closer to the C code
when there is no credentials callback set at their level.
Only apply LEADING_DIR pattern munging to patterns in ignore and
attribute files, not to pathspecs used to select files to operate
on. Also, allow internal macro definitions to be evaluated before
loading all external ones (important so that external ones can
make use of internal `binary` definition).
Ignore patterns that ended with a trailing '/*' were still needing
to match against another actual '/' character in the full path.
This is not the same behavior as core Git.
Instead, we strip a trailing '/*' off of any patterns that were
matching and just take it to imply the FNM_LEADING_DIR behavior.
There was a latent bug where files that use macro definitions
could be parsed before the macro definitions were loaded. Because
of attribute file caching, preloading files that are going to be
used doesn't add a significant amount of overhead, so let's always
preload any files that could contain macros before we assemble the
actual vector of files to scan for attributes.
When traversing the directory structure, the iterator pushes and
pops ignore files using a vector. Some directories don't have
ignore files, so it uses a path comparison to decide when it is
right to actually pop the last ignore file. This was only
comparing directory suffixes, though, so a subdirectory with the
same name as a parent could result in the parent's .gitignore
being popped off the list ignores too early. This changes the
logic to compare the entire relative path of the ignore file.
The ssh-specific credentials allow the username to be missing. The idea
being that the ssh transport will then use the username provided in the
url, if it's available. There are two main issues with this.
The credential callback already knows what username was provided by the
url and needs to figure out whether it wants to ask the user for it or
it can reuse it, so passing NULL as the username means the credential
callback is suspicious.
The username provided in the url is not in fact used by the
transport. The only time it even considers it is for the user/pass
credential, which asserts the existence of a username in its
constructor. For the ssh-specific ones, it passes in the username stored
in the credential, which is NULL. The libssh2 macro we use runs strlen()
against this value (which is no different from what we would be doing
ourselves), so we then crash.
As the documentation doesn't suggest to leave out the username, assert
the need for a username in the code, which removes this buggy behavior
and removes implicit state.
git_cred_has_username() becomes a blacklist of credential types that do
not have a username. The only one at the moment is the 'default' one,
which is meant to call up some Microsoft magic.
Now that our strmap is no longer modified but replaced, we can use the
same strmap for the snapshot's values and it will be freed when we don't
need it anymore.
When we delete an entry, we also want to refresh the configuration to
catch any changes that happened externally.
This allows us to simplify the logic, as we no longer need to delete
these variables internally. The whole state will be refreshed and the
deleted entries won't be there.
With the isolation of complex reads, we can now try to refresh the
on-disk file before reading a value from it.
This changes the semantics a bit, as before we could be sure that a
string we got from the configuration was valid until we wrote or
refreshed. This is no longer the case, as a read can also invalidate the
pointer.
Current code sets the active map to a new one and builds it whilst it's
active. This is a race condition with someone else trying to access the
same config.
Instead, let's build up our new map and swap the active and new one.
In order to have consistent views of the config files for remotes,
submodules et al. and a configuration that represents what is currently
stored on-disk, we need a way to provide a view of the configuration
that does not change.
The goal here is to provide the snapshotting part by creating a
read-only copy of the state of the configuration at a particular point
in time, which does not change when a repository's main config changes.
The checks to see if files were out of date in the attibute cache
was wrong because the cache-breaker data wasn't getting stored
correctly. Additionally, when the cache-breaker triggered, the
old file data was being leaked.
I don't love this approach, but achieving thread-safety for
attribute and ignore data while reloading files would require a
larger rewrite in order to avoid this. If an attribute or ignore
file is out of date, this holds a lock on the file while we are
reloading the data so that another thread won't try to reload the
data at the same time.
In the threading tests, I was still seeing a race condition where
the same item could end up being inserted multiple times into the
index. Preserving the sorted-ness of the index outside of the
`index_insert` call fixes the issue.
This is a big refactoring of the attribute file cache to be a bit
simpler which in turn makes it easier to enforce a lock around any
updates to the cache so that it can be used in a threaded env.
Tons of changes to the attributes and ignores code.
While I was looking at the conflict cleanup code, I looked over at
the tree cache code, since we clear the tree cache for each entry
that gets removed and there is some redundancy there. I made some
small tweaks to avoid extra calls to strchr and strlen in a few
circumstances.
I introduced a leak into conflict cleanup by removing items from
inside the git_vector_remove_matching call. This simplifies the
code to just use one common way for the two conflict cleanup APIs.
When an index has an active snapshot, removing an item can cause
an error (inserting into the deferred deletion vector), so I made
the git_index_conflict_cleanup API return an error code. I felt
like this wasn't so bad since it is just like the other APIs.
I fixed up a couple of comments while I was changing the header.
The iterator pushes and pops ignores incrementally onto a list as
it traverses the directory structure so that it doesn't have to
constantly recheck which ignore files apply. With the new ref
counting, it wasn't decrementing the refcount on the ignores that
it removed from the vector.
This makes the lock management on the index a little bit broader,
having a number of routines hold the lock across looking up the
item to be modified and actually making the modification. Still
not true thread safety, but more pure index modifications are now
safe which allows the simple cases (such as starting up a diff
while index modifications are underway) safe enough to get the
snapshot without hitting allocation problems.
As part of this, I simplified the allocation of index entries to
use a flex array and just put the path at the end of the index
entry. This makes every entry self-contained and makes it a
little easier to feel sure that pointers to strings aren't
being accidentally copied and freed while other references are
still being held.
This adds a basic test of doing simultaneous diffs on multiple
threads and adds basic locking for the attr file cache because
that was the immediate problem that arose from these tests.
This makes the index iterator honor the GIT_ITERATOR_IGNORE_CASE
and GIT_ITERATOR_DONT_IGNORE_CASE flags without modifying the
index data itself. To take advantage of this, I had to export a
number of the internal index entry comparison functions. I also
wrote some new tests to exercise the capability.
The usefulness of these helpers came up for me while debugging
some of the iterator changes that I was making, so since they
have also been requested (albeit indirectly) I thought I'd include
them.
Again, laying groundwork for some index iterator changes, this
contains a bunch of code refactorings for index internals that
should make it easier down the line to add locking around index
modifications. Also this removes the redundant prefix_position
function and fixes some potential memory leaks.
Ignore rules with slashes in them are matched using FNM_PATHNAME
and use the path to the .gitignore file from the root of the
repository along with the path fragment (including slashes) in
the ignore file itself. Unfortunately, the relative path to the
.gitignore file was being applied to the global core.excludesfile
if that was also named ".gitignore".
This fixes that with more precise matching and includes test for
ignore rules with leading slashes (which were the primary example
of this being broken in the real world).
This also backports an improvement to the file context logic from
the threadsafe-iterators branch where we don't rely on mutating
the key of the attribute file name to generate the context path.
There were a couple bugs in popping ignore files during iteration
that could result in incorrect decisions be made and thus ignore
files below the root either not being loaded correctly or not
being popped at the right time.
One bug was an off-by-one in comparing the path of the gitignore
file with the path being exited during iteration.
The second bug was not correctly truncating the path being tracked
during traversal if there were no ignores on the list (i.e. when
you have no .gitignore at the root, but do have some in contained
directories).
This updates how libgit2 treats submodule-like directories that
actually have tracked content inside of them. This is a strange
corner case, but it seems that many people have abortive submodule
setups and then just went ahead and added the files into the
parent repository. In this case, we should just treat the
submodule as if it was a normal directory.
Libgit2 will still try to skip over real submodules and contained
repositories that do not have tracked files inside them, but this
adds some new handling for cases where the apparently submodule
data is in conflict with the actual list of tracked files.
git_merge_base() returns GIT_ENOTFOUND when it cannot find a merge
base. graph_desdendant_of() returns a boolean value (barring any
errors), so it needs to catch the NOTFOUND return value and convert it
into false, as not merge base means it cannot be a descendant.
