When we rename a reference, we want the old and new ids to be the same
one (as we did not change it). The normal code path looks up the old id
from the current value of the brtanch, but by the time we look it up, it
does not exist anymore and thus we write a zero id.
Pass the old id explicitly instead.
Disallow:
1. paths with trailing dot
2. paths with trailing space
3. paths with trailing colon
4. paths that are 8.3 short names of .git folders ("GIT~1")
5. paths that are reserved path names (COM1, LPT1, etc).
6. paths with reserved DOS characters (colons, asterisks, etc)
These paths would (without \\?\ syntax) be elided to other paths - for
example, ".git." would be written as ".git". As a result, writing these
paths literally (using \\?\ syntax) makes them hard to operate with from
the shell, Windows Explorer or other tools. Disallow these.
A transaction allows you to lock multiple references and set up changes
for them before applying the changes all at once (or as close as the
backend supports).
This can be used for replication purposes, or for making sure some
operations run when the reference is locked and thus cannot be changed.
There are a few places where we need to join three strings to
assemble a path. This adds a simple join3 function to avoid the
comparatively expensive join_n (which calls strlen on each string
twice).
The reflog append function was overzealous in its checking. When passed
an old and new ids, it should not do any checking, but just serialize
the data to a reflog entry.
The existing ones lack checking zeroed ids when switching back from an
unborn branch as well as what happens when detaching.
The reflog appending function mistakenly wrote zeros when dealing with a
detached HEAD. This explicitly checks for those situations and fixes
them.
When we update the current branch, we must also append to HEAD's reflog
to keep them in sync.
This is a bit of a hack, but as git.git says, it covers 100% of
default cases.
If a directory disappears between the time we look up the entries of its
parent and the time when we go to look at it, we should ignore the error
and move forward.
This fixes#2046.
This changes the behavior of callbacks so that the callback error
code is not converted into GIT_EUSER and instead we propagate the
return value through to the caller. Instead of using the
giterr_capture and giterr_restore functions, we now rely on all
functions to pass back the return value from a callback.
To avoid having a return value with no error message, the user
can call the public giterr_set_str or some such function to set
an error message. There is a new helper 'giterr_set_callback'
that functions can invoke after making a callback which ensures
that some error message was set in case the callback did not set
one.
In places where the sign of the callback return value is
meaningful (e.g. positive to skip, negative to abort), only the
negative values are returned back to the caller, obviously, since
the other values allow for continuing the loop.
The hardest parts of this were in the checkout code where positive
return values were overloaded as meaningful values for checkout.
I fixed this by adding an output parameter to many of the internal
checkout functions and removing the overload. This added some
code, but it is probably a better implementation.
There is some funkiness in the network code where user provided
callbacks could be returning a positive or a negative value and
we want to rely on that to cancel the loop. There are still a
couple places where an user error might get turned into GIT_EUSER
there, I think, though none exercised by the tests.
This adds giterr_user_cancel to return GIT_EUSER and clear any
error message that is sitting around. As a result of using that
in places, we need to be more thorough with capturing errors that
happen inside a callback when used internally. To help with that,
this also adds giterr_capture and giterr_restore so that when we
internally use a foreach-type function that clears errors and
converts them to GIT_EUSER, it is easier to restore not just the
return value, but the actual error message text.
The frontend used to look at the file directly, but that's obviously not
the right thing to do. Expose it on the backend and use that function
instead.
git-core only writes to the reflogs of HEAD, refs/heads/ and,
refs/notes/ or if there is already a reflog in place. Adjust our code to
follow these semantics.
Whenever a reference is created or updated, we need to write to the
reflog regardless of whether the user gave us a message, so we shouldn't
leave that to the ref frontend, but integrate it into the backend.
This also eliminates the race between ref update and writing to the
reflog, as we protect the reflog with the ref lock.
As an additional benefit, this reflog append on the backend happens by
appending to the file instead of parsing and rewriting it.
This hooks up git_path_direach and git_path_dirload so that they
will take a flag indicating if directory entry names should be
tested and converted from decomposed unicode to precomposed form.
This code will only come into play on the Apple platform and even
then, only when certain types of filesystems are used.
This involved adding a flag to these functions which involved
changing a lot of places in the code.
This was an opportunity to do a bit of code cleanup here and there,
for example, getting rid of the git_futils_cleanupdir_r function in
favor of a simple flag to git_futils_rmdir_r to not remove the top
level entry. That ended up adding depth tracking during rmdir_r
which led to a safety check for infinite directory recursion. Yay.
This hasn't actually been tested on the Mac filesystems where the
issue occurs. I still need to get test environment for that.
This doesn't actual do string precompose but it puts the hooks in
place into the iterators and the git_path_dirload function so that
the actual precompose work is ready to go.
References and their logs are logically coupled, let's make it so in
the code by moving the fs-based reflog implementation to live next to
the fs-based refs one.
As part of the change, make the function take names rather than
references, as only the names are relevant when looking up and
handling reflogs.
This adds thread safety to the refdb_fs by using the new
git_sortedcache object and also by relaxing the handling of some
filesystem errors where the fs may be changed out from under us.
This also adds some new threading tests that hammer on the refdb.
