FindFirstFile will fail with INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE if there are no
children to the given path, which can happen if the given path is a
file (and obviously has no children) or if the given path is an empty
mount point. (Most directories have at least directory entries '.'
and '..', but ridiculously another volume mounted in another drive
letter's path space do not, and thus have nothing to enumerate.)
If FindFirstFile fails, check if this is a directory-like thing
(a mount point).
A reparse point that is an IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT could be
a junction or an actual filesystem mount point. (Who knew?)
If it's the latter, its reparse point will report the actual
volume information \??\Volume{GUID}\ and we should not attempt
to dereference that further, instead readlink should report
EINVAL since it's not a symlink / junction and its original
path was canonical.
Yes, really.
An obvious place to fill the tree cache is on write-tree, as we're
guaranteed to be able to fill in the whole tree cache.
The way this commit does this is not the most efficient, as we read the
root tree from the odb instead of filling in the cache as we go along,
but it fills the cache such that successive operations (and persisting
the index to disk) will be able to take advantage of the cache, and it
reuses the code we already have for filling the cache.
Filling in the cache as we create the trees would require some
reallocation of the children vector, which is currently not possible
with out pool implementation. A different data structure would likely
allow us to perform this operation at a later date.
Keeping the cache around after read-tree is only one part of the
optimisation opportunities. In order to share the cache between program
instances, we need to write the TREE extension to the index.
Do so, taking the opportunity to rename 'entries' to 'entry_count' to
match the name given in the format description. The included test is
rather trivial, but works as a sanity check.
When reading from a tree, we know what every tree is going to look like,
so we can fill in the tree cache completely, making use of the index for
modification of trees a lot quicker.
This simplifies freeing the entries quite a bit; though there aren't
that many failure paths right now, introducing filling the cache from a
tree will introduce more. This makes sure not to leak memory on errors.
If there have been no pushes, we can immediately return ITEROVER. If
there have been no hides, we must not run the uninteresting pre-mark
phase, as we do not want to hide anything and this would simply cause us
to spend time loading objects.
This introduces a phase at the start of preparing a walk which pre-marks
uninteresting commits, but only up to the common ancestors.
We do this in a similar way to git, by walking down the history and
marking (which is what we used to do), but we keep a time-sorted
priority queue of commits and stop marking as soon as there are only
uninteresting commits in this queue.
This is a similar rule to the one used to find the merge-base. As we
keep inserting commits regardless of the uninteresting bit, if there are
only uninteresting commits in the queue, it means we've run out of
interesting commits in our walk, so we can stop.
The old mark_unintesting() logic is still in place, but that stops
walking if it finds an already-uninteresting commit, so it will stop on
the ones we've pre-marked; but keeping it allows us to also hide those
that are hidden via the callback.
We don't need the remote loaded, and the function extracted both of
these from the git_remote in order to do its work, so let's remote a
step and not ask for the loaded remote at all.
This fixes#2390.
The stash is implemented as the refs/stash reference and its reflog. In
order to modify the reflog, we need avoid races by making sure we're the
only ones allowed to modify the reflog.
We achieve this via the transactions API. Locking the reference gives us
exclusive write access, letting us modify and write it without races.
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.
