The index version 4 introduced compressed path names for the entries.
From the git.git index-format documentation:
At the beginning of an entry, an integer N in the variable width
encoding [...] is stored, followed by a NUL-terminated string S.
Removing N bytes from the end of the path name for the previous
entry, and replacing it with the string S yields the path name for
this entry.
But instead of stripping N bytes from the previous path's string and
using the remaining prefix, we were instead simply concatenating the
previous path with the current entry path, which is obviously wrong.
Fix the issue by correctly copying the first N bytes of the previous
entry only and concatenating the result with our current entry's path.
When encoding varints to a buffer, we want to remain sure that the
required buffer space does not exceed what is actually available. Our
current check does not do the right thing, though, in that it does not
honor that our `pos` variable counts the position down instead of up. As
such, we will require too much memory for small varints and not enough
memory for big varints.
Fix the issue by correctly calculating the required size as
`(sizeof(varint) - pos)`. Add a test which failed before.
To determine if a repository is a worktree or not, we currently check
for the existence of a "gitdir" file inside of the repository's gitdir.
While this is sufficient for non-broken repositories, we have at least
one case of a subtly broken repository where there exists a gitdir file
inside of a gitmodule. This will cause us to misidentify the submodule
as a worktree.
While this is not really a fault of ours, we can do better here by
observing that a repository can only ever be a worktree iff its common
directory and dotgit directory are different. This allows us to make our
check whether a repo is a worktree or not more strict by doing a simple
string comparison of these two directories. This will also allow us to
do the right thing in the above case of a broken repository, as for
submodules these directories will be the same. At the same time, this
allows us to skip the `stat` check for the "gitdir" file for most
repositories.
The check whether a repository is a worktree or not is currently done
inside of `git_repository_open_ext`. As we want to extend this function
later on, pull it out into its own function `repo_is_worktree` to ease
working on it.
The out-parameters of `find_repo` containing found paths of a repository
are a tad confusing, as they are not as obvious as they could be. Rename
them like following to ease reading the code:
- `repo_path` -> `gitdir_path`
- `parent_path` -> `workdir_path`
- `link_path` -> `gitlink_path`
- `common_path` -> `commondir_path`
The `path` out-parameter of `find_repo` is being sanitized initially
such that we do not try to append to existing content. The sanitization
is done via `git_buf_free`, though, which forces us to needlessly
reallocate the buffer later in the function. Fix this by using
`git_buf_clear` instead.
The fields `declared_size` and `received_bytes` of the `git_odb_stream`
are both of type `git_off_t` which is defined as a signed integer. When
passing these values to a printf-style string in
`git_odb_stream__invalid_length`, though, we format these as PRIuZ,
which is unsigned.
Fix the issue by using PRIdZ instead, silencing warnings on macOS.
The credentials callback reads the username and password via scanf into
fixed-length arrays. While these are simply examples and as such not as
interesting, the unchecked return value of scanf causes GCC to emit
warnings. So while we're busy to shut up GCC, we also fix the possible
overflow of scanf by using getline instead.
The `error` variable is used as a return value in the out-section of
both `odb_read_1` and `read_prefix_1`. While the value will actually
always be initialized inside of this section, GCC fails to realize this
due to interactions with the `found` variable: if `found` is set, the
error will always be initialized. If it is not, we return early without
reaching the out-statements.
Shut up the warnings by initializing the error variable, even though it
is unnecessary.
The current signature of `git_worktree_prune` accepts a flags field to
alter its behavior. This is not as flexible as we'd like it to be when
we want to enable passing additional options in the future. As the
function has not been part of any release yet, we are still free to
alter its current signature. This commit does so by using our usual
pattern of an options structure, which is easily extendable without
breaking the API.
When creating a new worktree, we do have a potential race with us
creating the worktree and another process trying to delete the same
worktree as it is being created. As such, the upstream git project has
introduced a flag `git worktree add --locked`, which will cause the
newly created worktree to be locked immediately after its creation. This
mitigates the race condition.
We want to be able to mirror the same behavior. As such, a new flag
`locked` is added to the options structure of `git_worktree_add` which
allows the user to enable this behavior.
Debian and Ubuntu often use schroot to build their DEB packages in a
controlled environment. Depending on how schroot is configured, our
tests regarding repository discovery break due to not being able to find
the repositories anymore. It turns out that these errors occur when the
schroot is configured to use an overlayfs on the directory structures.
The reason for this failure is that we usually refrain from discovering
repositories across devices. But unfortunately, overlayfs does not have
consistent device identifiers for all its files but will instead use the
device number of the filesystem the file stems from. So whenever we
cross boundaries between the upper and lower layer of the overlay, we
will fail to properly detect the repository and bail out.
This commit fixes the issue by enabling cross-device discovery in our
tests. While it would be preferable to have this turned off, it probably
won't do much harm anyway as we set up our tests in a temporary location
outside of the parent repository.
After calling `libssh2_init`, we need to clean up after the library by
executing `libssh2_exit` as soon as we exit. Register a shutdown handler
to do so which simply calls `libssh2_exit`. This fixes several memory
leaks.
We unconditionally return success when initializing libssh2, regardless
of whether `libgssh2_init` signals success or an error. Fix this by
checking its return code.
The `git_worktree_add` function currently accepts only a path and name
for the new work tree. As we may want to expand these parameters in
future versions without adding additional parameters to the function for
every option, this commit introduces our typical pattern of an options
struct. Right now, this structure is still empty, which will change with
the next commit.
While the function reading an object from the complete OID already
verifies OIDs, we do not yet do so for reading objects from a partial
OID. Do so when strict OID verification is enabled.
The read_prefix_1 function has several return statements springled
throughout the code. As we have to free memory upon getting an error,
the free code has to be repeated at every single retrun -- which it is
not, so we have a memory leak here.
Refactor the code to use the typical `goto out` pattern, which will free
data when an error has occurred. While we're at it, we can also improve
the error message thrown when multiple ambiguous prefixes are found. It
will now include the colliding prefixes.
Verifying hashsums of objects we are reading from the ODB may be costly
as we have to perform an additional hashsum calculation on the object.
Especially when reading large objects, the penalty can be as high as
35%, as can be seen when executing the equivalent of `git cat-file` with
and without verification enabled. To mitigate for this, we add a global
option for libgit2 which enables the developer to turn off the
verification, e.g. when he can be reasonably sure that the objects on
disk won't be corrupted.
The upstream git.git project verifies objects when looking them up from
disk. This avoids scenarios where objects have somehow become corrupt on
disk, e.g. due to hardware failures or bit flips. While our mantra is
usually to follow upstream behavior, we do not do so in this case, as we
never check hashes of objects we have just read from disk.
To fix this, we create a new error class `GIT_EMISMATCH` which denotes
that we have looked up an object with a hashsum mismatch. `odb_read_1`
will then, after having read the object from its backend, hash the
object and compare the resulting hash to the expected hash. If hashes do
not match, it will return an error.
This obviously introduces another computation of checksums and could
potentially impact performance. Note though that we usually perform I/O
operations directly before doing this computation, and as such the
actual overhead should be drowned out by I/O. Running our test suite
seems to confirm this guess. On a Linux system with best-of-five
timings, we had 21.592s with the check enabled and 21.590s with the
ckeck disabled. Note though that our test suite mostly contains very
small blobs only. It is expected that repositories with bigger blobs may
notice an increased hit by this check.
In addition to a new test, we also had to change the
odb::backend::nonrefreshing test suite, which now triggers a hashsum
mismatch when looking up the commit "deadbeef...". This is expected, as
the fake backend allocated inside of the test will return an empty
object for the OID "deadbeef...", which will obviously not hash back to
"deadbeef..." again. We can simply adjust the hash to equal the hash of
the empty object here to fix this test.
