2019-03-20Merge branch 'ma/clear-repository-format'Junio C Hamano1-12/+28
The setup code has been cleaned up to avoid leaks around the repository_format structure. * ma/clear-repository-format: setup: fix memory leaks with `struct repository_format` setup: free old value before setting `work_tree`
2019-03-01setup: fix memory leaks with `struct repository_format`Martin Ågren1-12/+27
After we set up a `struct repository_format`, it owns various pieces of allocated memory. We then either use those members, because we decide we want to use the "candidate" repository format, or we discard the candidate / scratch space. In the first case, we transfer ownership of the memory to a few global variables. In the latter case, we just silently drop the struct and end up leaking memory. Introduce an initialization macro `REPOSITORY_FORMAT_INIT` and a function `clear_repository_format()`, to be used on each side of `read_repository_format()`. To have a clear and simple memory ownership, let all users of `struct repository_format` duplicate the strings that they take from it, rather than stealing the pointers. Call `clear_...()` at the start of `read_...()` instead of just zeroing the struct, since we sometimes enter the function multiple times. Thus, it is important to initialize the struct before calling `read_...()`, so document that. It's also important because we might not even call `read_...()` before we call `clear_...()`, see, e.g., builtin/init-db.c. Teach `read_...()` to clear the struct on error, so that it is reset to a safe state, and document this. (In `setup_git_directory_gently()`, we look at `repo_fmt.hash_algo` even if `repo_fmt.version` is -1, which we weren't actually supposed to do per the API. After this commit, that's ok.) We inherit the existing code's combining "error" and "no version found". Both are signalled through `version == -1` and now both cause us to clear any partial configuration we have picked up. For "extensions.*", that's fine, since they require a positive version number. For "core.bare" and "core.worktree", we're already verifying that we have a non-negative version number before using them.

2019-01-03Simplify handling of setup_git_directory_gently() failure cases.Erin Dahlgren1-31/+43
setup_git_directory_gently() expects two types of failures to discover a git directory (e.g. .git/): - GIT_DIR_HIT_CEILING: could not find a git directory in any parent directories of the cwd. - GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT: could not find a git directory in any parent directories up to the mount point of the cwd. Both cases are handled in a similar way, but there are misleading and unimportant differences. In both cases, setup_git_directory_gently() should: - Die if we are not in a git repository. Otherwise: - Set nongit_ok = 1, indicating that we are not in a git repository but this is ok. - Call strbuf_release() on any non-static struct strbufs that we allocated. Before this change are two misleading additional behaviors: - GIT_DIR_HIT_CEILING: setup_nongit() changes to the cwd for no apparent reason. We never had the chance to change directories up to this point so chdir(current cwd) is pointless. - GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT: strbuf_release() frees the buffer of a static struct strbuf (cwd). This is unnecessary because the struct is static so its buffer is always reachable. This is also misleading because nowhere else in the function is this buffer released. This change eliminates these two misleading additional behaviors and deletes setup_nogit() because the code is clearer without it. The result is that we can see clearly that GIT_DIR_HIT_CEILING and GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT lead to the same behavior (ignoring the different help messages). During review, this change was amended to additionally include: - Neither GIT_DIR_HIT_CEILING nor GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT may return early from setup_git_directory_gently() before the GIT_PREFIX environment variable is reset. Change both cases to break instead of return. See GIT_PREFIX below for more details. - GIT_DIR_NONE: setup_git_directory_gently_1() never returns this value, but if it ever did, setup_git_directory_gently() would incorrectly record that it had found a repository. Explicitly BUG on this case because it is underspecified. - GIT_PREFIX: this environment variable must always match the value of startup_info->prefix and the prefix returned from setup_git_directory_gently(). Make how we handle this slightly more repetitive but also more clear. - setup_git_env() and repo_set_hash_algo(): Add comments showing that only GIT_DIR_EXPLICIT, GIT_DIR_DISCOVERED, and GIT_DIR_BARE will cause setup_git_directory_gently() to call these setup functions. This was obvious (but partly incorrect) before this change when GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT returned early from setup_git_directory_gently(). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-10-22worktree: add per-worktree config filesNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-8/+32
A new repo extension is added, worktreeConfig. When it is present: - Repository config reading by default includes $GIT_DIR/config _and_ $GIT_DIR/config.worktree. "config" file remains shared in multiple worktree setup. - The special treatment for core.bare and core.worktree, to stay effective only in main worktree, is gone. These config settings are supposed to be in config.worktree. This extension is most useful in multiple worktree setup because you now have an option to store per-worktree config (which is either .git/config.worktree for main worktree, or .git/worktrees/xx/config.worktree for linked ones). This extension can be used in single worktree mode, even though it's pretty much useless (but this can happen after you remove all linked worktrees and move back to single worktree). "git config" reads from both "config" and "config.worktree" by default (i.e. without either --user, --file...) when this extension is present. Default writes still go to "config", not "config.worktree". A new option --worktree is added for that (*). Since a new repo extension is introduced, existing git binaries should refuse to access to the repo (both from main and linked worktrees). So they will not misread the config file (i.e. skip the config.worktree part). They may still accidentally write to the config file anyway if they use with "git config --file <path>". This design places a bet on the assumption that the majority of config variables are shared so it is the default mode. A safer move would be default writes go to per-worktree file, so that accidental changes are isolated. (*) "git config --worktree" points back to "config" file when this extension is not present and there is only one worktree so that it works in any both single and multiple worktree setups.

2018-03-30set_work_tree: use chdir_notifyJeff King1-6/+3
When we change to the top of the working tree, we manually re-adjust $GIT_DIR and call set_git_dir() again, in order to update any relative git-dir we'd compute earlier. Instead of the work-tree code having to know to call the git-dir code, let's use the new chdir_notify interface. There are two spots that need updating, with a few subtleties in each: 1. the set_git_dir() code needs to chdir_notify_register() so it can be told when to update its path. Technically we could push this down into repo_set_gitdir(), so that even repository structs besides the_repository could benefit from this. But that opens up a lot of complications: - we'd still need to touch set_git_dir(), because it does some other setup (like setting $GIT_DIR in the environment) - submodules using other repository structs get cleaned up, which means we'd need to remove them from the chdir_notify list - it's unlikely to fix any bugs, since we shouldn't generally chdir() in the middle of working on a submodule 2. setup_work_tree now needs to call chdir_notify(), and can lose its manual set_git_dir() call. Note that at first glance it looks like this undoes the absolute-to-relative optimization added by 044bbbcb63 (Make git_dir a path relative to work_tree in setup_work_tree(), 2008-06-19). But for the most part that optimization was just _undoing_ the relative-to-absolute conversion which the function was doing earlier (and which is now gone). It is true that if you already have an absolute git_dir that the setup_work_tree() function will no longer make it relative as a side effect. But: - we generally do have relative git-dir's due to the way the discovery code works - if we really care about making git-dir's relative when possible, then we should be relativizing them earlier (e.g., when we see an absolute $GIT_DIR we could turn it relative, whether we are going to chdir into a worktree or not). That would cover all cases, including ones that 044bbbcb63 did not. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-11-13Integrate hash algorithm support with repo setupbrian m. carlson1-0/+3
In future versions of Git, we plan to support an additional hash algorithm. Integrate the enumeration of hash algorithms with repository setup, and store a pointer to the enumerated data in struct repository. Of course, we currently only support SHA-1, so hard-code this value in read_repository_format. In the future, we'll enumerate this value from the configuration. Add a constant, the_hash_algo, which points to the hash_algo structure pointer in the repository global. Note that this is the hash which is used to serialize data to disk, not the hash which is used to display items to the user. The transition plan anticipates that these may be different. We can add an additional element in the future (say, ui_hash_algo) to provide for this case. Include repository.h in cache.h since we now need to have access to these struct and variable definitions.

2017-11-13setup: expose enumerated repo infobrian m. carlson1-21/+25
We enumerate several different items as part of struct repository_format, but then actually set up those values using the global variables we've initialized from them. Instead, let's pass a pointer to the structure down to the code where we enumerate these values, so we can later on use those values directly to perform setup. This technique makes it easier for us to determine additional items about the repository format (such as the hash algorithm) and then use them for setup later on, without needing to add additional global variables. We can't avoid using the existing global variables since they're intricately intertwined with how things work at the moment, but this improves things for the future.

Andrew Baumann reported that when called outside of any Git worktree, `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree` eventually tries to access `//HEAD`, i.e. any `HEAD` file in the root directory, but with a double slash. This double slash is not only unintentional, but is allowed by the POSIX standard to have a special meaning. And most notably on Windows, it does, where it refers to a UNC path of the form `//server/share/`. As a consequence, afore-mentioned `rev-parse` call not only looks for the wrong thing, but it also causes serious delays, as Windows will try to access a server called `HEAD`.

2017-09-06set_git_dir: handle feeding gitdir to itselfJeff King1-5/+0
Ideally we'd free the existing gitdir field before assigning the new one, to avoid a memory leak. But we can't do so safely because some callers do the equivalent of: set_git_dir(get_git_dir()); We can detect that case as a noop, but there are even more complicated cases like: set_git_dir(remove_leading_path(worktree, get_git_dir()); where we really do need to do some work, but the original string must remain valid. Rather than put the burden on callers to make a copy of the string (only to free it later, since we'll make a copy of it ourselves), let's solve the problem inside set_git_dir(). We can make a copy of the pointer for the old gitdir, and then avoid freeing it until after we've made our new copy.

Under some circumstances (bogus GIT_DIR value or the discovered gitdir is '.git') 'setup_git_directory()' won't initialize key repository state. This leads to inconsistent state after running the setup code. To account for this inconsistent state, lazy initialization is done once a caller asks for the repository's gitdir or some other piece of repository state. This is confusing and can be error prone. Instead let's tighten the expected outcome of 'setup_git_directory()' and ensure that it initializes repository state in all cases that would have been handled by lazy initialization. This also lets us drop the requirement to have 'have_git_dir()' check if the environment variable GIT_DIR was set as that will be handled by the end of the setup code.

A pathspec with "magic" (e.g. ":/p/a/t/h" that matches p/a/t/h from the top-level of the working tree, no matter what subdirectory you are working from) are conservatively judged as "not a path", which required disambiguation more often.

Currently 'discover_git_directory' only looks at the gitdir to determine if a git directory was discovered. This causes a problem in the event that the gitdir which was discovered was in fact a per-worktree git directory and not the common git directory. This is because the repository config, which is checked to verify the repository's format, is stored in the commondir and not in the per-worktree gitdir.

2017-05-29verify_filename(): flip order of checksJeff King1-1/+1

2017-05-29verify_filename(): treat ":(magic)" as a pathspecJeff King1-1/+19
For commands that take revisions and pathspecs, magic pathspecs like ":(exclude)foo" require the user to specify a disambiguating "--", since they do not match a file in the filesystem, like: git grep foo -- :(exclude)bar This makes them more annoying to use than they need to be. We loosened the rules for wildcards in 28fcc0b71 (pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is used, 2015-05-02). Let's do the same for pathspecs with long-form magic. We already handle the short-forms ":/" and ":^" specially in check_filename(), so we don't need to handle them here. And in fact, we could do the same with long-form magic, parsing out the actual filename and making sure it exists. But there are a few reasons not to do it that way: - the parsing gets much more complicated, and we'd want to hand it off to the pathspec code. But that code isn't ready to do this kind of speculative parsing (it's happy to die() when it sees a syntactically invalid pathspec). - not all pathspec magic maps to a filesystem path. E.g., :(attr) should be treated as a pathspec regardless of what is in the filesystem - we can be a bit looser with ":(" than with the short-form ":/", because it is much less likely to have a false positive. Whereas ":/" also means "search for a commit with this regex". Note that because the change is in verify_filename() and not in its helper check_filename(), this doesn't affect the verify_non_filename() case. I.e., if an item that matches our new rule doesn't resolve as an object, we may fallback to treating it as a pathspec (rather than complaining it doesn't exist). But if it does resolve (e.g., as a file in the index that starts with an open-paren), we won't then complain that it's also a valid pathspec. This matches the wildcard-exception behavior. And of course in either case, one can always insert the "--" to get more precise results. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-05-29check_filename(): refactor ":/" handlingJeff King1-7/+8
We handle arguments with the ":/" pathspec magic specially, making sure the name exists at the top-level. We'll want to handle more pathspec magic in future patches, so let's do a little rearranging to make that easier. Instead of relying on an if/else cascade to avoid the prefix_filename() call, we'll just set prefix to NULL. Likewise, we'll get rid of the "name" variable entirely, and just push the "arg" pointer forward to skip past the magic. That means by the time we get to the prefix-handling, we're set up appropriately whether we saw ":/" or not. Note that this does impact the final error message we produce when stat() fails, as it shows "arg" (which we'll have modified to skip magic and include the prefix). This is a good thing; the original message would say something like "failed to stat ':/foo'", which is confusing (we tried to stat "foo").

2017-03-21prefix_filename: return newly allocated stringJeff King1-3/+8
The prefix_filename() function returns a pointer to static storage, which makes it easy to use dangerously. We already fixed one buggy caller in hash-object recently, and the calls in apply.c are suspicious (I didn't dig in enough to confirm that there is a bug, but we call the function once in apply_all_patches() and then again indirectly from parse_chunk()). Let's make it harder to get wrong by allocating the return value. For simplicity, we'll do this even when the prefix is empty (and we could just return the original file pointer). That will cause us to allocate sometimes when we wouldn't otherwise need to, but this function isn't called in performance critical code-paths (and it already _might_ allocate on any given call, so a caller that cares about performance is questionable anyway). The downside is that the callers need to remember to free() the result to avoid leaking. Most of them already used xstrdup() on the result, so we know they are OK. The remainder have been converted to use free() as appropriate. I considered retaining a prefix_filename_unsafe() for cases where we know the static lifetime is OK (and handling the cleanup is awkward). This is only a handful of cases, though, and it's not worth the mental energy in worrying about whether the "unsafe" variant is OK to use in any situation.

This saves callers specifying it (and in some cases handling a NULL prefix). In a handful of cases we had the length already without calling strlen, so this is technically slower. But it's not likely to matter (after all, if the prefix is non-empty we'll allocate and copy it into a buffer anyway).

2017-03-14setup_git_directory_gently_1(): avoid die()ingJohannes Schindelin1-8/+17
This function now has a new caller in addition to setup_git_directory(): the newly introduced discover_git_directory(). That function wants to discover the current .git/ directory, and in case of a corrupted one simply pretend that there is none to be found. Example: if a stale .git file exists in the parent directory, and the user calls `git -p init`, we want Git to simply *not* read any repository config for the pager (instead of aborting with a message that the .git file is corrupt). Let's actually pretend that there was no GIT_DIR to be found in that case when being called from discover_git_directory(), but keep the previous behavior (i.e. to die()) for the setup_git_directory() case.

2017-03-14setup_git_directory_1(): avoid changing global stateJohannes Schindelin1-75/+118
For historical reasons, Git searches for the .git/ directory (or the .git file) by changing the working directory successively to the parent directory of the current directory, until either anything was found or until a ceiling or a mount point is hit. Further global state may be changed in case a .git/ directory was found. We do have a use case, though, where we would like to find the .git/ directory without having any global state touched, though: when we read the early config e.g. for the pager or for alias expansion. Let's just move all of code that changes any global state out of the function `setup_git_directory_gently_1()` into `setup_git_directory_gently()`. In subsequent patches, we will use the _1() function in a new `discover_git_directory()` function that we will then use for the early config code. Note: the new loop is a *little* tricky, as we have to handle the root directory specially: we cannot simply strip away the last component including the slash, as the root directory only has that slash. To remedy that, we introduce the `min_offset` variable that holds the minimal length of an absolute path, and using that to special-case the root directory, including an early exit before trying to find the parent of the root directory.

2017-03-14setup: prepare setup_discovered_git_dir() for the root directoryJohannes Schindelin1-2/+4
Currently, the offset parameter (indicating what part of the cwd parameter corresponds to the current directory after discovering the .git/ directory) is set to 0 when we are running in the root directory. However, in the next patches we will avoid changing the current working directory while searching for the .git/ directory, meaning that the offset corresponding to the root directory will have to be 1 to reflect that this directory is characterized by the path "/" (and not ""). So let's make sure that setup_discovered_git_directory() only tries to append the trailing slash to non-root directories.

In 4ac9006f832 (real_path: have callers use real_pathdup and strbuf_realpath, 2016-12-12), we changed the xstrdup(real_path()) pattern to use real_pathdup() directly. The problem with this change is that real_path() calls strbuf_realpath() with die_on_error = 1 while real_pathdup() calls it with die_on_error = 0. Meaning that in cases where real_path() causes Git to die() with an error message, real_pathdup() is silent and returns NULL instead. The callers, however, are ill-prepared for that change, as they expect the return value to be non-NULL (and otherwise the function died with an appropriate error message). Fix this by extending real_pathdup()'s signature to accept the die_on_error flag and simply pass it through to strbuf_realpath(), and then adjust all callers after a careful audit whether they would handle NULLs well.

2016-03-11setup: refactor repo format reading and verificationJeff King1-39/+79
When we want to know if we're in a git repository of reasonable vintage, we can call check_repository_format_gently(), which does three things: 1. Reads the config from the .git/config file. 2. Verifies that the version info we read is sane. 3. Writes some global variables based on this. There are a few things we could improve here. One is that steps 1 and 3 happen together. So if the verification in step 2 fails, we still clobber the global variables. This is especially bad if we go on to try another repository directory; we may end up with a state of mixed config variables. The second is there's no way to ask about the repository version for anything besides the main repository we're in. git-init wants to do this, and it's possible that we would want to start doing so for submodules (e.g., to find out which ref backend they're using). We can improve both by splitting the first two steps into separate functions. Now check_repository_format_gently() calls out to steps 1 and 2, and does 3 only if step 2 succeeds. Note that the public interface for read_repository_format() and what check_repository_format_gently() needs from it are not quite the same, leading us to have an extra read_repository_format_1() helper. The extra needs from check_repository_format_gently() will go away in a future patch, and we can simplify this then to just the public interface.

2016-03-11lazily load core.sharedrepositoryJeff King1-2/+0
The "shared_repository" config is loaded as part of check_repository_format_version, but it's not quite like the other values we check there. Something like core.repositoryformatversion only makes sense in per-repo config, but core.sharedrepository can be set in a per-user config (e.g., to make all "git init" invocations shared by default). So it would make more sense as part of git_default_config. Commit 457f06d (Introduce core.sharedrepository, 2005-12-22) says: [...]the config variable is set in the function which checks the repository format. If this were done in git_default_config instead, a lot of programs would need to be modified to call git_config(git_default_config) first. This is still the case today, but we have one extra trick up our sleeve. Now that we have the git_configset infrastructure, it's not so expensive for us to ask for a single value. So we can simply lazy-load it on demand. This should be OK to do in general. There are some problems with loading config before setup_git_directory() is called, but we shouldn't be accessing the value before then (if we were, then it would already be broken, as the variable would not have been set by check_repository_format_version!).

2016-03-06setup: set startup_info->have_repository more reliablyJeff King1-1/+3
When setup_git_directory() is called, we set a flag in startup_info to indicate we have a repository. But there are a few other mechanisms by which we might set up a repo: 1. When creating a new repository via init_db(), we transition from no-repo to being in a repo. We should tweak this flag at that moment. 2. In enter_repo(), a stricter form of setup_git_directory() used by server-side programs, we check the repository format config. After doing so, we know we're in a repository, and can set the flag. With these changes, library code can now reliably tell whether we are in a repository and act accordingly. We'll leave the "prefix" field as NULL, which is what happens when setup_git_directory() finds there is no prefix.

2016-03-06setup: make startup_info available everywhereJeff King1-4/+6
Commit a60645f (setup: remember whether repository was found, 2010-08-05) introduced the startup_info structure, which records some parts of the setup_git_directory() process (notably, whether we actually found a repository or not). One of the uses of this data is for functions to behave appropriately based on whether we are in a repo. But the startup_info struct is just a pointer to storage provided by the main program, and the only program that sets it up is the git.c wrapper. Thus builtins have access to startup_info, but externally linked programs do not. Worse, library code which is accessible from both has to be careful about accessing startup_info. This can be used to trigger a die("BUG") via get_sha1(): $ git fast-import <<-\EOF tag foo from HEAD:./whatever EOF fatal: BUG: startup_info struct is not initialized. Obviously that's fairly nonsensical input to feed to fast-import, but we should never hit a die("BUG"). And there may be other ways to trigger it if other non-builtins resolve sha1s. So let's point the storage for startup_info to a static variable in setup.c, making it available to all users of the library code.

2016-02-22use xmallocz to avoid size arithmeticJeff King1-3/+2
We frequently allocate strings as xmalloc(len + 1), where the extra 1 is for the NUL terminator. This can be done more simply with xmallocz, which also checks for integer overflow. There's no case where switching xmalloc(n+1) to xmallocz(n) is wrong; the result is the same length, and malloc made no guarantees about what was in the buffer anyway. But in some cases, we can stop manually placing NUL at the end of the allocated buffer. But that's only safe if it's clear that the contents will always fill the buffer. In each case where this patch does so, I manually examined the control flow, and I tried to err on the side of caution.

2016-02-10check_filename: tighten dwim-wildcard ambiguityJeff King1-4/+2
When specifying both revisions and pathnames, we allow "<rev> -- <pathspec>" to be spelled without the "--" as long as it is not ambiguous. The original logic was something like: 1. Resolve each item with get_sha1(). If successful, we know it can be a <rev>. Verify that it _isn't_ a filename, using verify_non_filename(), and complain of ambiguity otherwise. 2. If get_sha1() didn't succeed, make sure that it _is_ a file, using verify_filename(). If not, complain that it is neither a <rev> nor a <pathspec>. Both verify_filename() and verify_non_filename() rely on check_filename(), which definitely said "yes, this is a file" or "no, it is not" using lstat(). Commit 28fcc0b (pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is used, 2015-05-02) introduced a convenience feature: check_filename() will consider anything with wildcard meta-characters as a possible filename, without even checking the filesystem. This works well for case 2. For such a wildcard, we would previously have died and said "it is neither". Post-28fcc0b, we assume it's a pathspec and proceed. But it makes some instances of case 1 worse. We may have an extended sha1 expression that contains meta-characters (e.g., "HEAD^{/foo.*bar}"), and we now complain that it's also a filename, due to the wildcard characters (even though that wildcard would not match anything in the filesystem). One solution would be to actually expand the pathname and see if it matches anything on the filesystem. But that's potentially expensive, and we do not have to be so rigorous for this DWIM magic (if you want rigor, use "--"). Instead, we can just use different rules for cases 1 and 2. When we know something is a rev, we will complain only if it meets a much higher standard for "this is also a file"; namely that it actually exists in the filesystem. Case 2 remains the same: we use the looser "it could be a filename" standard introduced by 28fcc0b. We can accomplish this by pulling the wildcard logic out of check_filename() and putting it into verify_filename(). Its partner verify_non_filename() does not need a change, since check_filename() goes back to implementing the "higher standard". Besides these two callers of check_filename(), there is one other: git-checkout does a similar DWIM itself. It hits this code path only after get_sha1() has returned failure, making it case 2, which gets the special wildcard treatment. Note that we drop the tests in t2019 in favor of a more complete set in t6133. t2019 was not the right place for them (it's about refname ambiguity, not dwim parsing ambiguity), and the second test explicitly checked for the opposite result of the case we are fixing here (which didn't really make any sense; as shown by the test_must_fail in the test, it would only serve to annoy people).

We have always had is_git_directory(), for looking at a specific directory to see if it contains a git repo. In 0179ca7 (clean: improve performance when removing lots of directories, 2015-06-15), we added is_git_repository() which checks for a non-bare repository by looking at its ".git" entry. However, the fix in 0179ca7 needs to be applied other places, too. Let's make this new helper globally available. We need to give it a better name, though, to avoid confusion with is_git_directory().

2015-06-24introduce "preciousObjects" repository extensionJeff King1-0/+2
If this extension is used in a repository, then no operations should run which may drop objects from the object storage. This can be useful if you are sharing that storage with other repositories whose refs you cannot see. For instance, if you do: $ git clone -s parent child $ git -C parent config extensions.preciousObjects true $ git -C parent config core.repositoryformatversion 1 you now have additional safety when running git in the parent repository. Prunes and repacks will bail with an error, and `git gc` will skip those operations (it will continue to pack refs and do other non-object operations). Older versions of git, when run in the repository, will fail on every operation. Note that we do not set the preciousObjects extension by default when doing a "clone -s", as doing so breaks backwards compatibility. It is a decision the user should make explicitly.

2015-06-24introduce "extensions" form of core.repositoryformatversionJeff King1-3/+34
Normally we try to avoid bumps of the whole-repository core.repositoryformatversion field. However, it is unavoidable if we want to safely change certain aspects of git in a backwards-incompatible way (e.g., modifying the set of ref tips that we must traverse to generate a list of unreachable, safe-to-prune objects). If we were to bump the repository version for every such change, then any implementation understanding version `X` would also have to understand `X-1`, `X-2`, and so forth, even though the incompatibilities may be in orthogonal parts of the system, and there is otherwise no reason we cannot implement one without the other (or more importantly, that the user cannot choose to use one feature without the other, weighing the tradeoff in compatibility only for that particular feature). This patch documents the existing repositoryformatversion strategy and introduces a new format, "1", which lets a repository specify that it must run with an arbitrary set of extensions. This can be used, for example: - to inform git that the objects should not be pruned based only on the reachability of the ref tips (e.g, because it has "clone --shared" children) - that the refs are stored in a format besides the usual "refs" and "packed-refs" directories Because we bump to format "1", and because format "1" requires that a running git knows about any extensions mentioned, we know that older versions of the code will not do something dangerous when confronted with these new formats. For example, if the user chooses to use database storage for refs, they may set the "extensions.refbackend" config to "db". Older versions of git will not understand format "1" and bail. Versions of git which understand "1" but do not know about "refbackend", or which know about "refbackend" but not about the "db" backend, will refuse to run. This is annoying, of course, but much better than the alternative of claiming that there are no refs in the repository, or writing to a location that other implementations will not read. Note that we are only defining the rules for format 1 here. We do not ever write format 1 ourselves; it is a tool that is meant to be used by users and future extensions to provide safety with older implementations.

If both core.bare and core.worktree are set, we complain about the bogus config and die. Dying is good, because it avoids commands running and doing damage in a potentially incorrect setup. But dying _there_ is bad, because it means that commands which do not even care about the work tree cannot run. This can make repairing the situation harder: [setup] $ git config core.bare true $ git config core.worktree /some/path [OK, expected.] $ git status fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense [Hrm...] $ git config --unset core.worktree fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense [Nope...] $ git config --edit fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense [Gaaah.] $ git help config fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense Instead, let's issue a warning about the bogus config when we notice it (i.e., for all commands), but only die when the command tries to use the work tree (by calling setup_work_tree). So we now get: $ git status warning: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense fatal: unable to set up work tree using invalid config $ git config --unset core.worktree warning: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense We have to update t1510 to accomodate this; it uses symbolic-ref to check whether the configuration works or not, but of course that command does not use the working tree. Instead, we switch it to use `git status`, as it requires a work-tree, does not need any special setup, and is read-only (so a failure will not adversely affect further tests). In addition, we add a new test that checks the desired behavior (i.e., that running "git config" with the bogus config does in fact work).

A heuristic to help the "git <cmd> <revs> <pathspec>" command line convention to catch mistyped paths is to make sure all the non-rev parameters in the later part of the command line are names of the files in the working tree, but that means "git grep $str -- \*.c" must always be disambiguated with "--", because nobody sane will create a file whose name literally is asterisk-dot-see.

2015-05-03pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is usedDuy Nguyen1-1/+3
When "--" is lacking from the command line and a command can take both revs and paths, the idea is if an argument can be seen as both an extended SHA-1 and a path, then "--" is required or git refuses to continue. It's currently implemented as: (1) if an argument is rev, then it must not exist in worktree (2) else, it must exist in worktree (3) else, "--" is required. These rules work for literal paths, but when non-literal pathspec is involved, it almost always requires the user to add "--" because it fails (2) and (1) is really rarely met (take "*.c" for example, (1) is met if there is a ref named "*.c"). This patch modifies the rules a bit by considering any valid (*) wildcard pathspec "exist in worktree". The rules become: (1) if an arg is a rev, then it must either exist in worktree or not be a valid wildcard pathspec. (2) else, it either exists in worktree or is a wildcard pathspec (3) else, "--" is required. With the new rules, "--" is not needed most of the time when wildcard pathspec is involved.

2014-07-29add `config_set` API for caching config-like filesTanay Abhra1-0/+9
Currently `git_config()` uses a callback mechanism and file rereads for config values. Due to this approach, it is not uncommon for the config files to be parsed several times during the run of a git program, with different callbacks picking out different variables useful to themselves. Add a `config_set`, that can be used to construct an in-memory cache for config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`, `~/.gitconfig` etc.). Add two external functions `git_configset_get_value` and `git_configset_get_value_multi` for querying from the config sets. `git_configset_get_value` follows `last one wins` semantic (i.e. if there are multiple matches for the queried key in the files of the configset the value returned will be the last entry in `value_list`). `git_configset_get_value_multi` returns a list of values sorted in order of increasing priority (i.e. last match will be at the end of the list). Add type specific query functions like `git_configset_get_bool` and similar. Add a default `config_set`, `the_config_set` to cache all key-value pairs read from usual config files (repo specific .git/config, user wide ~/.gitconfig, XDG config and the global /etc/gitconfig). `the_config_set` is populated using `git_config()`. Add two external functions `git_config_get_value` and `git_config_get_value_multi` for querying in a non-callback manner from `the_config_set`. Also, add type specific query functions that are implemented as a thin wrapper around the `config_set` API.

2014-04-24setup: fix windows path buffer over-steppingMartin Erik Werner1-2/+2
Fix a buffer over-stepping issue triggered by providing an absolute path that is similar to the work tree path. abspath_part_inside_repo() may currently increment the path pointer by offset_1st_component() + wtlen, which is too much, since offset_1st_component() is a subset of wtlen. For the *nix-style prefix '/', this does (by luck) not cause any issues, since offset_1st_component() is 1 and there will always be a '/' or '\0' that can "absorb" this. In the case of DOS-style prefixes though, the offset_1st_component() is 3 and this can potentially over-step the string buffer. For example if work_tree = "c:/r" path = "c:/rl" Then wtlen is 4, and incrementing the path pointer by (3 + 4) would end up 2 bytes outside a string buffer of length 6. Similarly if work_tree = "c:/r" path = "c:/rl/d/a" Then (since the loop starts by also incrementing the pointer one step), this would mean that the function would miss checking if "c:/rl/d" could be the work_tree, arguably this is unlikely though, since it would only be possible with symlinks on windows. Fix this by simply avoiding to increment by offset_1st_component() and wtlen at the same time.

2014-02-04setup: don't dereference in-tree symlinks for absolute pathsMartin Erik Werner1-20/+10
The prefix_path_gently() function currently applies real_path to everything if given an absolute path, dereferencing symlinks both outside and inside the work tree. This causes most high-level functions to misbehave when acting on symlinks given via absolute paths. For example $ git add /dir/repo/symlink attempts to add the target of the symlink rather than the symlink itself, which is usually not what the user intends to do. In order to manipulate symlinks in the work tree using absolute paths, symlinks should only be dereferenced outside the work tree. Modify the prefix_path_gently() to first normalize the path in order to make sure path levels are separated by '/', then pass the result to 'abspath_part_inside_repo' to find the part inside the work tree (without dereferencing any symlinks inside the work tree). For absolute paths, prefix_path_gently() did not, nor does now do, any actual prefixing, hence the result from abspath_part_in_repo() is returned as-is. Fixes t0060-82 and t3004-5.

2014-02-04setup: add abspath_part_inside_repo() functionMartin Erik Werner1-0/+64
In order to extract the part of an absolute path which lies inside the repo, it is not possible to directly use real_path, since that would dereference symlinks both outside and inside the work tree. Add an abspath_part_inside_repo() function which first checks if the work tree is already the prefix, then incrementally checks each path level by temporarily NUL-terminating at each '/' and comparing against the work tree path. If a match is found, it overwrites the input path with the remainder past the work tree (which will be the part inside the work tree). This function is currently only intended for use in 'prefix_path_gently'.

2013-10-14Use simpler relative_path when set_git_dirJiang Xin1-4/+1
Using a relative_path as git_dir first appears in v1.5.6-1-g044bbbc. It will make git_dir shorter only if git_dir is inside work_tree, and this will increase performance. But my last refactor effort on relative_path function (commit v1.8.3-rc2-12-ge02ca72) changed that. Always use relative_path as git_dir may bring troubles like $gmane/234434. Because new relative_path is a combination of original relative_path from path.c and original path_relative from quote.c, so in order to restore the origin implementation, save the original relative_path as remove_leading_path, and call it in setup.c.

2013-06-26path.c: refactor relative_path(), not only strip prefixJiang Xin1-1/+4
Original design of relative_path() is simple, just strip the prefix (*base) from the absolute path (*abs). In most cases, we need a real relative path, such as: ../foo, ../../bar. That's why there is another reimplementation (path_relative()) in quote.c. Borrow some codes from path_relative() in quote.c to refactor relative_path() in path.c, so that it could return real relative path, and user can reuse this function without reimplementing his/her own. The function path_relative() in quote.c will be substituted, and I would use the new relative_path() function when implementing the interactive git-clean later. Different results for relative_path() before and after this refactor: abs path base path relative (original) relative (refactor) ======== ========= =================== =================== /a/b /a/b . ./ /a/b/ /a/b . ./ /a /a/b/ /a ../ / /a/b/ / ../../ /a/c /a/b/ /a/c ../c /x/y /a/b/ /x/y ../../x/y a/b/ a/b/ . ./ a/b/ a/b . ./ a a/b a ../ x/y a/b/ x/y ../../x/y a/c a/b a/c ../c (empty) (null) (empty) ./ (empty) (empty) (empty) ./ (empty) /a/b (empty) ./ (null) (null) (null) ./ (null) (empty) (null) ./ (null) /a/b (segfault) ./ You may notice that return value "." has been changed to "./". It is because: * Function quote_path_relative() in quote.c will show the relative path as "./" if abs(in) and base(prefix) are the same. * Function relative_path() is called only once (in setup.c), and it will be OK for the return value as "./" instead of ".".

2013-03-08setup: suppress implicit "." work-tree for bare reposJeff King1-0/+8
If an explicit GIT_DIR is given without a working tree, we implicitly assume that the current working directory should be used as the working tree. E.g.,: GIT_DIR=/some/repo.git git status would compare against the cwd. Unfortunately, we fool this rule for sub-invocations of git by setting GIT_DIR internally ourselves. For example: git init foo cd foo/.git git status ;# fails, as we expect git config alias.st status git status ;# does not fail, but should What happens is that we run setup_git_directory when doing alias lookup (since we need to see the config), set GIT_DIR as a result, and then leave GIT_WORK_TREE blank (because we do not have one). Then when we actually run the status command, we do setup_git_directory again, which sees our explicit GIT_DIR and uses the cwd as an implicit worktree. It's tempting to argue that we should be suppressing that second invocation of setup_git_directory, as it could use the values we already found in memory. However, the problem still exists for sub-processes (e.g., if "git status" were an external command). You can see another example with the "--bare" option, which sets GIT_DIR explicitly. For example: git init foo cd foo/.git git status ;# fails git --bare status ;# does NOT fail We need some way of telling sub-processes "even though GIT_DIR is set, do not use cwd as an implicit working tree". We could do it by putting a special token into GIT_WORK_TREE, but the obvious choice (an empty string) has some portability problems. Instead, we add a new boolean variable, GIT_IMPLICIT_WORK_TREE, which suppresses the use of cwd as a working tree when GIT_DIR is set. We trigger the new variable when we know we are in a bare setting. The variable is left intentionally undocumented, as this is an internal detail (for now, anyway). If somebody comes up with a good alternate use for it, and once we are confident we have shaken any bugs out of it, we can consider promoting it further.

The GIT_PREFIX variable is set based on our location within the working tree. It should therefore be cleared whenever GIT_WORK_TREE is cleared. In practice, this doesn't cause any bugs, because none of the sub-programs we invoke with local_repo_env cleared actually care about GIT_PREFIX. But this is the right thing to do, and future proofs us against that assumption changing. While we're at it, let's define a GIT_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT macro; this avoids repetition of the string literal, which can help catch any spelling mistakes in the code.

2013-02-22Provide a mechanism to turn off symlink resolution in ceiling pathsMichael Haggerty1-10/+22
Commit 1b77d83cab 'setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks in ceiling paths' changed the setup code to resolve symlinks in the entries in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES. Because those entries are compared textually to the symlink-resolved current directory, an entry in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES that contained a symlink would have no effect. It was known that this could cause performance problems if the symlink resolution *itself* touched slow filesystems, but it was thought that such use cases would be unlikely. The intention of the earlier change was to deal with a case when the user has this: GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/home/gitster but in reality, /home/gitster is a symbolic link to somewhere else, e.g. /net/machine/home4/gitster. A textual comparison between the specified value /home/gitster and the location getcwd(3) returns would not help us, but readlink("/home/gitster") would still be fast. After this change was released, Anders Kaseorg <andersk@mit.edu> reported: > [...] my computer has been acting so slow when I’m not connected to > the network. I put various network filesystem paths in > $GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES, such as > /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a/n/andersk (to avoid hitting its parents > /afs/athena.mit.edu, /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a, and > /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a/n which all live in different AFS > volumes).

To allow users to work around this problem, give them a mechanism to turn off symlink resolution in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES entries. All the entries that follow an empty entry will not be checked for symbolic links and used literally in comparison. E.g. with these: GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=:/foo/bar:/xyzzy or GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/foo/bar::/xyzzy we will not readlink("/xyzzy") because it comes after an empty entry. With the former (but not with the latter), "/foo/bar" comes after an empty entry, and we will not readlink it, either.

:/abc may mean two things: - as a revision, it means the revision that has "abc" in commit message. - as a pathpec, it means "abc" from root. Currently we see ":/abc" as a rev (most of the time), but never see it as a pathspec even if "abc" exists and "git log :/abc" will gladly take ":/abc" as rev even it's ambiguous. This patch makes it: - ambiguous when "abc" exists on worktree - a rev if abc does not exist on worktree - a path if abc is not found in any commits (although better use "--" to avoid ambiguation because searching through commit DAG is expensive) A plus from this patch is, because ":/" never matches anything as a rev, it is never considered a valid rev and because root directory always exists, ":/" is always unambiguously seen as a pathspec.

2012-10-29setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks in ceiling pathsMichael Haggerty1-13/+13
longest_ancestor_length() relies on a textual comparison of directory parts to find the part of path that overlaps with one of the paths in prefix_list. But this doesn't work if any of the prefixes involves a symbolic link, because the directories will look different even though they might logically refer to the same directory. So canonicalize the paths listed in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES using real_path_if_valid() before passing them to longest_ancestor_length(). (Also rename normalize_ceiling_entry() to canonicalize_ceiling_entry() to reflect the change.) path is already in canonical form, so doesn't need to be canonicalized again. This fixes some problems with using GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES that contains paths involving symlinks, including t4035 if run with --root set to a path involving symlinks. Please note that test t0060 is *not* changed analogously, because that would make the test suite results dependent on the contents of the local root directory. However, real_path() is already tested independently, and the "ancestor" tests cover the non-normalization aspects of longest_ancestor_length(), so coverage remains sufficient.

2012-10-29longest_ancestor_length(): require prefix list entries to be normalizedMichael Haggerty1-0/+23
Move the responsibility for normalizing prefixes from longest_ancestor_length() to its callers. Use slightly different normalizations at the two callers: In setup_git_directory_gently_1(), use the old normalization, which ignores paths that are not usable. In the next commit we will change this caller to also resolve symlinks in the paths from GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES as part of the normalization. In "test-path-utils longest_ancestor_length", use the old normalization, but die() if any paths are unusable. Also change t0060 to only pass normalized paths to the test program (no empty entries or non-absolute paths, strip trailing slashes from the paths, and remove tests that thereby become redundant). The point of this change is to reduce the scope of the ancestor_length tests in t0060 from testing normalization+longest_prefix to testing only mostly longest_prefix. This is necessary because when setup_git_directory_gently_1() starts resolving symlinks as part of its normalization, it will not be reasonable to do the same in the test suite, because that would make the test results depend on the contents of the root directory of the filesystem on which the test is run. HOWEVER: under Windows, bash mangles arguments that look like absolute POSIX paths into DOS paths. So we have to retain the level of normalization done by normalize_path_copy() to convert the bash-mangled DOS paths (which contain backslashes) into paths that use forward slashes.

verify_filename() can be called in two different contexts. Either we just tried to interpret a string as an object name, and it fails, so we try looking for a working tree file (i.e. we finished looking at revs that come earlier on the command line, and the next argument must be a pathname), or we _know_ that we are looking for a pathname, and shouldn't even try interpreting the string as an object name. For example, with this change, we get: $ git log COPYING HEAD:inexistant fatal: HEAD:inexistant: no such path in the working tree. Use '-- <path>...' to specify paths that do not exist locally. $ git log HEAD:inexistant fatal: Path 'inexistant' does not exist in 'HEAD' Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-04-15properly keep track of current working directoryClemens Buchacher1-9/+13
Various failure modes in the repository detection code path currently quote the wrong directory in their error message. The working directory is changed iteratively to the parent directory until a git repository is found. If the working directory cannot be changed to the parent directory for some reason, the detection gives up and prints an error message. The error message should report the current working directory. Instead of continually updating the 'cwd' variable, which is actually used to remember the original working directory, the 'offset' variable is used to keep track of the current working directory. At the point where the affected error handling code is called, 'offset' already points to the end of the parent of the working directory, rather than the current working directory. Fix this by explicitly using a variable 'offset_parent' and update 'offset' concurrently with the call to chdir. In a similar fashion, the function get_device_or_die() would print the original working directory in case of a failure, rather than the current working directory. Fix this as well by making use of the 'offset' variable. Lastly, replace the phrase 'mount parent' with 'mount point'. The former appears to be a typo.

2012-02-02standardize and improve lookup rules for external local reposJeff King1-1/+1
When you specify a local repository on the command line of clone, ls-remote, upload-pack, receive-pack, or upload-archive, or in a request to git-daemon, we perform a little bit of lookup magic, doing things like looking in working trees for .git directories and appending ".git" for bare repos. For clone, this magic happens in get_repo_path. For everything else, it happens in enter_repo. In both cases, there are some ambiguous or confusing cases that aren't handled well, and there is one case that is not handled the same by both methods. This patch tries to provide (and test!) standard, sensible lookup rules for both code paths. The intended changes are: 1. When looking up "foo", we have always preferred a working tree "foo" (containing "foo/.git" over the bare "foo.git". But we did not prefer a bare "foo" over "foo.git". With this patch, we do so. 2. We would select directories that existed but didn't actually look like git repositories. With this patch, we make sure a selected directory looks like a git repo. Not only is this more sensible in general, but it will help anybody who is negatively affected by change (1) negatively (e.g., if they had "foo.git" next to its separate work tree "foo", and expect to keep finding "foo.git" when they reference "foo"). 3. The enter_repo code path would, given "foo", look for "foo.git/.git" (i.e., do the ".git" append magic even for a repo with working tree). The clone code path did not; with this patch, they now behave the same. In the unlikely case of a working tree overlaying a bare repo (i.e., a ".git" directory _inside_ a bare repo), we continue to treat it as a working tree (prefering the "inner" .git over the bare repo). This is mainly because the combination seems nonsensical, and I'd rather stick with existing behavior on the off chance that somebody is relying on it.

2011-08-02commit: allow partial commits with relative pathsClemens Buchacher1-0/+32
In order to do partial commits, git-commit overlays a tree on the cache and checks pathspecs against the result. Currently, the overlaying is done using "prefix" which prevents relative pathspecs with ".." and absolute pathspec from matching when they refer to files not under "prefix" and absent from the index, but still in the tree (i.e. files staged for removal). The point of providing a prefix at all is performance optimization. If we say there is no common prefix for the files of interest, then we have to read the entire tree into the index. But even if we cannot use the working directory as a prefix, we can still figure out if there is a common prefix for all given paths, and use that instead. The pathspec_prefix() routine from ls-files.c does exactly that. Any use of global variables is removed from pathspec_prefix() so that it can be called from commit.c.

Once without error diagnosis to see there is no commit with such a string in the log message (hence "it cannot be a ref"), and after seeing that :/no-such-string-ever-existed is not a filename (hence "it cannot be a path, either"), another time to give "better diagnosis". The thing is, the second time it runs, we already know that traversing the history all the way down to the root will _not_ find any matching commit. Rename misguided "gently" parameter, which is turned off _only_ when the "detailed diagnosis" codepath knows that it cannot be a ref and making the call only for the caller to die with a message. Flip its meaning (and adjust the callers) and call it "only_to_die", which is not a great name, but it describes far more clearly what the codepaths that switches their behaviour based on this variable do.

2011-04-08magic pathspec: futureproof shorthand formJunio C Hamano1-1/+8
The earlier design was to take whatever non-alnum that the short format parser happens to support, leaving the rest as part of the pattern, so a version of git that knows '*' magic and a version that does not would have behaved differently when given ":*Makefile". The former would have applied the '*' magic to the pattern "Makefile", while the latter would used no magic to the pattern "*Makefile". Instead, just reserve all non-alnum ASCII letters that are neither glob nor regexp special as potential magic signature, and when we see a magic that is not supported, die with an error message, just like the longhand codepath does. With this, ":%#!*Makefile" will always mean "%#!" magic applied to the pattern "*Makefile", no matter what version of git is used (it is a different matter if the version of git supports all of these three magic matching rules). Also make ':' without anything else to mean "there is no pathspec". This would allow differences between "git log" and "git log ." run from the top level of the working tree (the latter simplifies no-op commits away from the history) to be expressed from a subdirectory by saying "git log :".

2011-04-06magic pathspec: add tentative ":/path/from/top/level" pathspec supportJunio C Hamano1-2/+96
Support ":/" magic string that can be prefixed to a pathspec element to say "this names the path from the top-level of the working tree", when you are in the subdirectory. For example, you should be able to say: $ edit Makefile ;# top-level $ cd Documentation $ edit git.txt ;# in the subdirectory and then do one of three things, still inside the subdirectory: $ git add -u . ;# add only Documentation/git.txt $ git add -u :/ ;# add everything, including paths outside Documentation $ git add -u ;# whatever the default setting is. To truly support magic pathspec, the API needs to be restructured so that get_pathspec() and init_pathspec() are unified into one call. Currently, the former just prefixes the user supplied pathspec with the current subdirectory path, and the latter takes the output from the former and pre-parses them into a bit richer structure for easier handling. They should become a single API function that takes the current subdirectory path and the remainder of argv[] (after parsing --options and revision arguments from the command line) and returns an array of parsed pathspec elements, and "magic" should become attributes of struct pathspec_item. This patch implements only "top" magic because it can be hacked into the system without such a refactoring. The syntax for magic pathspec prefix is designed to be extensible yet simple to type to invoke a simple magic like "from the top". The parser for the magic prefix is hooked into get_pathspec() function in this patch, and it needs to be moved when we refactor the API. But we have to start from somewhere.

2011-01-21Subject: setup: officially support --work-tree without --git-dirJonathan Nieder1-0/+19
The original intention of --work-tree was to allow people to work in a subdirectory of their working tree that does not have an embedded .git directory. Because their working tree, which their $cwd was in, did not have an embedded .git, they needed to use $GIT_DIR to specify where it is, and because this meant there was no way to discover where the root level of the working tree was, so we needed to add $GIT_WORK_TREE to tell git where it was. However, this facility has long been (mis)used by people's scripts to start git from a working tree _with_ an embedded .git directory, let git find .git directory, and then pretend as if an unrelated directory were the associated working tree of the .git directory found by the discovery process. It happens to work in simple cases, and is not worth causing "regression" to these scripts. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

For other setup cases, only core.bare matters. Add a temporary variable setup_explicit to adjust get_git_work_tree() behavior as such. This variable will be gone once setup_* rework is done. Also remove is_bare_repository_cfg check in set_git_work_tree() to ease the rework. We are going to check for core.bare and core.worktree early before setting worktree. For example, if core.bare is true, no need to set worktree. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
