2013-02-20pkt-line: provide a LARGE_PACKET_MAX static bufferJeff King11-45/+47
Most of the callers of packet_read_line just read into a static 1000-byte buffer (callers which handle arbitrary binary data already use LARGE_PACKET_MAX). This works fine in practice, because: 1. The only variable-sized data in these lines is a ref name, and refs tend to be a lot shorter than 1000 characters. 2. When sending ref lines, git-core always limits itself to 1000 byte packets. However, the only limit given in the protocol specification in Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt is LARGE_PACKET_MAX; the 1000 byte limit is mentioned only in pack-protocol.txt, and then only describing what we write, not as a specific limit for readers. This patch lets us bump the 1000-byte limit to LARGE_PACKET_MAX. Even though git-core will never write a packet where this makes a difference, there are two good reasons to do this: 1. Other git implementations may have followed protocol-common.txt and used a larger maximum size. We don't bump into it in practice because it would involve very long ref names. 2. We may want to increase the 1000-byte limit one day. Since packets are transferred before any capabilities, it's difficult to do this in a backwards-compatible way. But if we bump the size of buffer the readers can handle, eventually older versions of git will be obsolete enough that we can justify bumping the writers, as well. We don't have plans to do this anytime soon, but there is no reason not to start the clock ticking now. Just bumping all of the reading bufs to LARGE_PACKET_MAX would waste memory. Instead, since most readers just read into a temporary buffer anyway, let's provide a single static buffer that all callers can use. We can further wrap this detail away by having the packet_read_line wrapper just use the buffer transparently and return a pointer to the static storage. That covers most of the cases, and the remaining ones already read into their own LARGE_PACKET_MAX buffers. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-02-20pkt-line: teach packet_read_line to chomp newlinesJeff King13-35/+22
The packets sent during ref negotiation are all terminated by newline; even though the code to chomp these newlines is short, we end up doing it in a lot of places. This patch teaches packet_read_line to auto-chomp the trailing newline; this lets us get rid of a lot of inline chomping code. As a result, some call-sites which are not reading line-oriented data (e.g., when reading chunks of packfiles alongside sideband) transition away from packet_read_line to the generic packet_read interface. This patch converts all of the existing callsites. Since the function signature of packet_read_line does not change (but its behavior does), there is a possibility of new callsites being introduced in later commits, silently introducing an incompatibility. However, since a later patch in this series will change the signature, such a commit would have to be merged directly into this commit, not to the tip of the series; we can therefore ignore the issue. This is an internal cleanup and should produce no change of behavior in the normal case. However, there is one corner case to note. Callers of packet_read_line have never been able to tell the difference between a flush packet ("0000") and an empty packet ("0004"), as both cause packet_read_line to return a length of 0. Readers treat them identically, even though Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt says we must not; it also says that implementations should not send an empty pkt-line. By stripping out the newline before the result gets to the caller, we will now treat the newline-only packet ("0005\n") the same as an empty packet, which in turn gets treated like a flush packet. In practice this doesn't matter, as neither empty nor newline-only packets are part of git's protocols (at least not for the line-oriented bits, and readers who are not expecting line-oriented packets will be calling packet_read directly, anyway). But even if we do decide to care about the distinction later, it is orthogonal to this patch. The right place to tighten would be to stop treating empty packets as flush packets, and this change does not make doing so any harder.

2013-02-20pkt-line: provide a generic reading function with optionsJeff King3-15/+36
Originally we had a single function for reading packetized data: packet_read_line. Commit 46284dd grew a more "gentle" form, packet_read, that returns an error instead of dying upon reading a truncated input stream. However, it is not clear from the names which should be called, or what the difference is. Let's instead make packet_read be a generic public interface that can take option flags, and update the single callsite that uses it. This is less code, more clear, and paves the way for introducing more options into the generic interface later. The function signature is changed, so there should be no hidden conflicts with topics in flight. While we're at it, we'll document how error conditions are handled based on the options, and rename the confusing "return_line_fail" option to "gentle_on_eof". While we are cleaning up the names, we can drop the "return_line_fail" checks in packet_read_internal entirely. They look like this: ret = safe_read(..., return_line_fail); if (return_line_fail && ret < 0) ... The check for return_line_fail is a no-op; safe_read will only ever return an error value if return_line_fail was true in the first place.

2013-02-20pkt-line: drop safe_write functionJeff King10-35/+19
This is just write_or_die by another name. The one distinction is that write_or_die will treat EPIPE specially by suppressing error messages.

2013-02-20pkt-line: move a misplaced commentJeff King2-16/+13
The comment describing the packet writing interface was originally written above packet_write, but migrated to be above safe_write in f3a3214, probably because it is meant to generally describe the packet writing interface and not a single function.

2013-02-20write_or_die: raise SIGPIPE when we get EPIPEJeff King1-6/+13
The write_or_die function will always die on an error, including EPIPE. However, it currently treats EPIPE specially by suppressing any error message, and by exiting with exit code 0. Suppressing the error message makes some sense; a pipe death may just be a sign that the other side is not interested in what we have to say. However, exiting with a successful error code is not a good idea, as write_or_die is frequently used in cases where we want to be careful about having written all of the output, and we may need to signal to our caller that we have done so (e.g., you would not want a push whose other end has hung up to report success). This distinction doesn't typically matter in git, because we do not ignore SIGPIPE in the first place. Which means that we will not get EPIPE, but instead will just die when we get a SIGPIPE. But it's possible for a default handler to be set by a parent process, or for us to add a callsite inside one of our few SIGPIPE-ignoring blocks of code. This patch converts write_or_die to actually raise SIGPIPE when we see EPIPE, rather than exiting with zero. This brings the behavior in line with the "normal" case that we die from SIGPIPE (and any callers who want to check why we died will see the same thing). We also give the same treatment to other related functions, including write_or_whine_pipe and maybe_flush_or_die.

2013-02-20upload-archive: use argv_array to store client argumentsJeff King1-21/+14
The current parsing scheme for upload-archive is to pack arguments into a fixed-size buffer, separated by NULs, and put a pointer to each argument in the buffer into a fixed-size argv array. This works fine, and the limits are high enough that nobody reasonable is going to hit them, but it makes the code hard to follow. Instead, let's just stuff the arguments into an argv_array, which is much simpler. That lifts the "all arguments must fit inside 4K together" limit. We could also trivially lift the MAX_ARGS limitation (in fact, we have to keep extra code to enforce it). But that would mean a client could force us to allocate an arbitrary amount of memory simply by sending us "argument" lines. By limiting the MAX_ARGS, we limit an attacker to about 4 megabytes (64 times a maximum 64K packet buffer). That may sound like a lot compared to the 4K limit, but it's not a big deal compared to what git-archive will actually allocate while working (e.g., to load blobs into memory). The important thing is that it is bounded. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-02-20send-pack: prefer prefixcmp over memcmp in receive_statusJeff King1-5/+4
This code predates prefixcmp, so it used memcmp along with static sizes. Replacing these memcmps with prefixcmp makes the code much more readable, and the lack of static sizes will make refactoring it in future patches simpler. Note that we used to be unnecessarily liberal in parsing the "unpack" status line, and would accept "unpack ok\njunk". No version of git has ever produced that, and it violates the BNF in Documentation/technical/pack-protocol.txt. Let's take this opportunity to tighten the check by converting the prefix comparison into a strcmp. While we're in the area, let's also fix a vague error message that does not follow our usual conventions (it writes directly to stderr and does not use the "error:" prefix).

2013-02-20fetch-pack: fix out-of-bounds buffer offset in get_ackJeff King1-0/+2
When we read acks from the remote, we expect either: ACK <sha1> or ACK <sha1> <multi-ack-flag> We parse the "ACK <sha1>" bit from the line, and then start looking for the flag strings at "line+45"; if we don't have them, we assume it's of the first type. But if we do have the first type, then line+45 is not necessarily inside our string at all! It turns out that this works most of the time due to the way we parse the packets. They should come in with a newline, and packet_read puts an extra NUL into the buffer, so we end up with: ACK <sha1>\n\0 with the newline at offset 44 and the NUL at offset 45. We then strip the newline, putting a NUL at offset 44. So when we look at "line+45", we are looking past the end of our string; but it's OK, because we hit the terminator from the original string. This breaks down, however, if the other side does not terminate their packets with a newline. In that case, our packet is one character shorter, and we start looking through uninitialized memory for the flag. No known implementation sends such a packet, so it has never come up in practice. This patch tightens the check by looking for a short, flagless ACK before trying to parse the flag. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-02-20upload-pack: remove packet debugging harnessJeff King3-35/+22
If you set the GIT_DEBUG_SEND_PACK environment variable, upload-pack will dump lines it receives in the receive_needs phase to a descriptor. This debugging harness is a strict subset of what GIT_TRACE_PACKET can do. Let's just drop it in favor of that. A few tests used GIT_DEBUG_SEND_PACK to confirm which objects get sent; we have to adapt them to the new output format.

2013-02-20upload-pack: do not add duplicate objects to shallow listJeff King1-2/+4
When the client tells us it has a shallow object via "shallow <sha1>", we make sure we have the object, mark it with a flag, then add it to a dynamic array of shallow objects. This means that a client can get us to allocate arbitrary amounts of memory just by flooding us with shallow lines (whether they have the objects or not). You can demonstrate it easily with: yes '0035shallow e83c5163316f89bfbde7d9ab23ca2e25604af290' | git-upload-pack git.git We already protect against duplicates in want lines by checking if our flag is already set; let's do the same thing here. Note that a client can still get us to allocate some amount of memory by marking every object in the repo as "shallow" (or "want"). But this at least bounds it with the number of objects in the repository, which is not under the control of an upload-pack client.

2013-02-20upload-pack: use get_sha1_hex to parse "shallow" linesJeff King1-1/+1
When we receive a line like "shallow <sha1>" from the client, we feed the <sha1> part to get_sha1. This is a mistake, as the argument on a shallow line is defined by Documentation/technical/pack-protocol.txt to contain an "obj-id". This is never defined in the BNF, but it is clear from the text and from the other uses that it is meant to be a hex sha1, not an arbitrary identifier (and that is what fetch-pack has always sent). We should be using get_sha1_hex instead, which doesn't allow the client to request arbitrary junk like "HEAD@{yesterday}". Because this is just marking shallow objects, the client couldn't actually do anything interesting (like fetching objects from unreachable reflog entries), but we should keep our parsing tight to be on the safe side. Because get_sha1 is for the most part a superset of get_sha1_hex, in theory the only behavior change should be disallowing non-hex object references. However, there is one interesting exception: get_sha1 will only parse a 40-character hex sha1 if the string has exactly 40 characters, whereas get_sha1_hex will just eat the first 40 characters, leaving the rest. That means that current versions of git-upload-pack will not accept a "shallow" packet that has a trailing newline, even though the protocol documentation is clear that newlines are allowed (even encouraged) in non-binary parts of the protocol. This never mattered in practice, though, because fetch-pack, contrary to the protocol documentation, does not include a newline in its shallow lines. JGit follows its lead (though it correctly is strict on the parsing end about wanting a hex object id). We do not adjust fetch-pack to send newlines here, as it would break communication with older versions of git (and there is no actual benefit to doing so, except for consistency with other parts of the protocol).

This makes user-errors slightly awkward to diagnose for instance under UTF-8 locale and non-English keyboard layouts. Report the whole argument-string when a non-ASCII short-option is detected.

2013-02-11log: re-encode commit messages before greppingJeff King2-7/+78
If you run "git log --grep=foo", we will run your regex on the literal bytes of the commit message. This can provide confusing results if the commit message is not in the same encoding as your grep expression (or worse, you have commits in multiple encodings, in which case your regex would need to be written to match either encoding). On top of this, we might also be grepping in the commit's notes, which are already re-encoded, potentially leading to grepping in a buffer with mixed encodings concatenated. This is insanity, but most people never noticed, because their terminal and their commit encodings all match. Instead, let's massage the to-be-grepped commit into a standardized encoding. There is not much point in adding a flag for "this is the encoding I expect my grep pattern to match"; the only sane choice is for it to use the log output encoding. That is presumably what the user's terminal is using, and it means that the patterns found by the grep will match the output produced by git. As a bonus, this fixes a potential segfault in commit_match when commit->buffer is NULL, as we now build on logmsg_reencode, which handles reading the commit buffer from disk if necessary. The segfault can be triggered with: git commit -m 'text1' --allow-empty git commit -m 'text2' --allow-empty git log --graph --no-walk --grep 'text2' which arguably does not make any sense (--graph inherently wants a connected history, and by --no-walk the command line is telling us to show discrete points in history without connectivity), and we probably should forbid the combination, but that is a separate issue.

2013-02-09cvsimport: format commit timestamp ourselves without using strftimeBen Walton1-1/+4

2013-02-09perl/Git.pm: fix get_tz_offset to properly handle DST boundary casesBen Walton1-3/+3
When passed a local time that was on the boundary of a DST change, get_tz_offset returned a GMT offset that was incorrect (off by one hour). This is because the time was converted to GMT and then back to a time stamp via timelocal() which cannot disambiguate boundary cases as noted in its documentation. Modify this algorithm, using an approach suggested in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/213871 to first convert the timestamp in question to two broken down forms with localtime() and gmtime(), and then compute what timestamps these two broken down forms would represent in GMT (i.e. a timezone that does not have DST issues) by applying timegm() on them. The difference between the resulting timestamps is the timezone offset. This avoids the ambigious conversion and allows a correct time to be returned on every occassion.

2013-02-07upload/receive-pack: allow hiding ref hierarchiesJunio C Hamano7-1/+146
A repository may have refs that are only used for its internal bookkeeping purposes that should not be exposed to the others that come over the network. Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from its initial advertisement by paying attention to the uploadpack.hiderefs multi-valued configuration variable. Do the same to receive-pack via the receive.hiderefs variable. As a convenient short-hand, allow using transfer.hiderefs to set the value to both of these variables. Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value of these variable is excluded from responses to requests made by "ls-remote", "fetch", etc. (for upload-pack) and "push" (for receive-pack). Because these hidden refs do not count as OUR_REF, an attempt to fetch objects at the tip of them will be rejected, and because these refs do not get advertised, "git push :" will not see local branches that have the same name as them as "matching" ones to be sent. An attempt to update/delete these hidden refs with an explicit refspec, e.g. "git push origin :refs/hidden/22", is rejected. This is not a new restriction. To the pusher, it would appear that there is no such ref, so its push request will conclude with "Now that I sent you all the data, it is time for you to update the refs. I saw that the ref did not exist when I started pushing, and I want the result to point at this commit". The receiving end will apply the compare-and-swap rule to this request and rejects the push with "Well, your update request conflicts with somebody else; I see there is such a ref.", which is the right thing to do. Otherwise a push to a hidden ref will always be "the last one wins", which is not a good default. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-02-05status: show the branch name if possible in in-progress infoNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy3-41/+142
The typical use-case is starting a rebase, do something else, come back the day after, run "git status" or make a new commit and wonder what in the world's going on. Which branch is being rebased is probably the most useful tidbit to help, but the target may help too. Ideally, I would have loved to see "rebasing master on origin/master", but the target ref name is not stored during rebase, so this patch writes "rebasing master on a78c8c98b" as a half-measure to remind future users of that potential improvement.

2013-02-03completion: handle path completion and colon for tcsh scriptMarc Khouzam1-0/+12
Recent enhancements to git-completion.bash provide intelligent path completion for git commands. Such completions do not provide the '/' at the end of directories for recent versions of bash; instead, bash itself will add the trailing slash to directories to the result provided by git-completion.bash. However, the completion for tcsh uses the result of the bash completion script directly, so it either needs to add the necessary slash itself, or needs to ask the bash script to keep the trailing slash. Adding the slash itself is difficult because we have to check the each path in the output of the bash script to see if it is meant to be a directory or something else. For example, assuming there is a directory named 'commit' in the current directory, then, when completing git add commit<tab> we would need to add a slash, but for git help commit<tab> we should not. Figuring out such differences would require adding much intelligence to the tcsh completion script. Instead, it is simpler to ask the bash script to keep the trailing slash. This patch does this. Also, tcsh does not handle the colon as a completion separator so we remove it from the list of separators. Signed-off-by: Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@ericsson.com>

2013-02-01Makefile: explicitly set target name for autogenerated dependenciesJonathan Nieder1-2/+3
"gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -c -o path/to/file.o" produces a makefile snippet named "depfile" describing what files are needed to build the target given by "-o". When ccache versions before v3.0pre0~187 (Fix handling of the -MD and -MDD options, 2009-11-01) run, they execute gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -E instead to get the final content for hashing. Notice that the "-c -o" combination is replaced by "-E". The result is a target name without a leading path. Thus when building git with such versions of ccache with COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES enabled, the generated makefile snippets define dependencies for the wrong target: $ make builtin/add.o GIT_VERSION = 1.7.8.rc3 * new build flags or prefix CC builtin/add.o $ head -1 builtin/.depend/add.o.d add.o: builtin/add.c cache.h git-compat-util.h compat/bswap.h strbuf.h \ After a change in a header file, object files in a subdirectory are not automatically rebuilt by "make": $ touch cache.h $ make builtin/add.o $ Luckily we can prevent trouble by explicitly supplying the name of the target to ccache and gcc, using the -MQ option. Do so.

2013-02-01mergetools: teach tortoisemerge to handle filenames with SP correctlySven Strickroth1-3/+11
TortoiseGitMerge, unlike TortoiseMerge, can be told to handle paths with spaces in them by using -option "$FILE" (not -option:"$FILE", which does not work for such paths) syntax. This change was necessary because of MSYS path mangling [1], the ":" after the "base" etc. arguments to TortoiseMerge caused the whole argument instead of just the file name to be quoted in case of file names with spaces. So TortoiseMerge was passed "-base:new file.txt" instead of -base:"new file.txt" (including the quotes). To work around this, TortoiseGitMerge does not require the ":" after the arguments anymore which fixes handling file names with spaces [2] (as written above).

2013-01-31apply: diagnose incomplete submodule object name betterJunio C Hamano1-1/+5
"git am -3" uses this function to build a tree that records how the preimage the patch was created from would have looked like. An abbreviated object name on the index line is ordinarily sufficient for us to figure out the object name the preimage tree would have contained, but a change to a submodule by definition shows an object name of a submodule commit which our repository should not have, and get_sha1_blob() is not an appropriate way to read it (or get_sha1() for that matter). Use get_sha1_hex() and complain if we do not find a full object name there. We could read from the payload part of the patch to learn the full object name of the commit, but the primary user "git rebase" has been fixed to give us a full object name, so this should suffice for now.

Earlier, a230949 (am --rebasing: get patch body from commit, not from mailbox, 2012-06-26) learned to regenerate patch body from the commit object while rebasing, instead of reading from the rebase-am front-end. While doing so, it used "git diff-tree" but without giving it the "--full-index" option. This does not matter for in-repository objects; during rebasing, any abbreviated object name should uniquely identify them. But we may be rebasing a commit that contains a change to a gitlink, in which case we usually should not have the object (it names a commit in the submodule). A full object name is necessary to later reconstruct a fake ancestor index for them. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-01-31branch: let branch filters imply --listJeff King3-3/+41
Currently, a branch filter like `--contains`, `--merged`, or `--no-merged` is ignored when we are not in listing mode. For example: git branch --contains=foo bar will create the branch "bar" from the current HEAD, ignoring the `--contains` argument entirely. This is not very helpful. There are two reasonable behaviors for git here: 1. Flag an error; the arguments do not make sense. 2. Implicitly go into `--list` mode This patch chooses the latter, as it is more convenient, and there should not be any ambiguity with attempting to create a branch; using `--contains` and not wanting to list is nonsensical. That leaves the case where an explicit modification option like `-d` is given. We already catch the case where `--list` is given alongside `-d` and flag an error. With this patch, we will also catch the use of `--contains` and other filter options alongside `-d`. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-01-30CodingGuidelines: add Python coding guidelinesJohn Keeping1-0/+14
These are kept short by simply deferring to PEP-8. Most of the Python code in Git is already very close to this style (some things in contrib/ are not). Rationale for version suggestions: - Amongst the noise in [1], there isn't any disagreement about using 2.6 as a base (see also [2]), although Brandon Casey recently added support for 2.4 and 2.5 to git-p4 [3]. - Restricting ourselves to 2.6+ makes aiming for Python 3 compatibility significantly easier [4]. - Advocating Python 3 support in all scripts is currently unrealistic because: - 'p4 -G' provides output in a format that is very hard to use with Python 3 (and its documentation claims Python 3 is unsupported). - Mercurial does not support Python 3. - Bazaar does not support Python 3. - But we should try to make new scripts compatible with Python 3 because all new Python development is happening on version 3 and the Python community will eventually stop supporting Python 2 [5]. - Python 3.1 is required to support the 'surrogateescape' error handler for encoding/decodng filenames to/from Unicode strings and Python 3.0 is not longer supported.

2013-01-30Merge branch 'rr/minimal-stat'Junio C Hamano5-10/+28
Some reimplementations of Git does not write all the stat info back to the index due to their implementation limitations (e.g. jgit running on Java). A configuration option can tell Git to ignore changes to most of the stat fields and only pay attention to mtime and size, which these implementations can reliably update. This avoids excessive revalidation of contents. * rr/minimal-stat: Enable minimal stat checking
2013-01-30Merge branch 'nd/magic-pathspec-from-root'Junio C Hamano3-3/+25
When giving arguments without "--" disambiguation, object names that come earlier on the command line must not be interpretable as pathspecs and pathspecs that come later on the command line must not be interpretable as object names. Tweak the disambiguation rule so that ":/" (no other string before or after) is always interpreted as a pathspec, to avoid having to say "git cmd -- :/". * nd/magic-pathspec-from-root: grep: avoid accepting ambiguous revision Update :/abc ambiguity check

gitk, when bound into the git.git project tree, used to live at the root level, but in 62ba514 (Move gitk to its own subdirectory, 2007-11-17) it was moved to a subdirectory. The code used to track changes to TCLTK_PATH (which should cause gitk to be rebuilt to point at the new interpreter) was left in the main Makefile instead of being moved to the new Makefile that was created for the gitk project. Also add .gitignore file to list build artifacts for the gitk project.
