A future feature will want to load the sparse-checkout patterns into a
pattern_list, but the current mechanism to do so is a bit complicated.
This is made difficult due to needing to find the sparse-checkout file
in different ways throughout the codebase.
The logic implemented in the new get_sparse_checkout_patterns() was
duplicated in populate_from_existing_patterns() in unpack-trees.c. Use
the new method instead, keeping the logic around handling the struct
unpack_trees_options.
The callers to get_sparse_checkout_filename() in
builtin/sparse-checkout.c manipulate the sparse-checkout file directly,
so it is not appropriate to replace logic in that file with
get_sparse_checkout_patterns().

hashmap_free(), hashmap_free_entries(), and hashmap_free_() have existed
for a while, but aren't necessarily the clearest names, especially with
hashmap_partial_clear() being added to the mix and lazy-initialization
now being supported. Peff suggested we adopt the following names[1]:
- hashmap_clear() - remove all entries and de-allocate any
hashmap-specific data, but be ready for reuse
- hashmap_clear_and_free() - ditto, but free the entries themselves
- hashmap_partial_clear() - remove all entries but don't deallocate
table
- hashmap_partial_clear_and_free() - ditto, but free the entries
This patch provides the new names and converts all existing callers over
to the new naming scheme.

t3000: fix some test description typos
The dir structure seemed to have a number of leaks and problems around
it. First I noticed that parent_hashmap and recursive_hashmap were
being leaked (though Peff noticed and submitted fixes before me). Then
I noticed in the previous commit that clear_directory() was only taking
responsibility for a subset of fields within dir_struct, despite the
fact that entries[] and ignored[] we allocated internally to dir.c.
That, of course, resulted in many callers either leaking or haphazardly
trying to free these arrays and their contents.
Digging further, I found that despite the pretty clear documentation
near the top of dir.h that folks were supposed to call clear_directory()
when the user no longer needed the dir_struct, there were four callers
that didn't bother doing that at all. However, two of them clearly
thought about leaks since they had an UNLEAK(dir) directive, which to me
suggests that the method to free the data was too unclear. I suspect
the non-obviousness of the API and its holes led folks to avoid it,
which then snowballed into further problems with the entries[],
ignored[], parent_hashmap, and recursive_hashmap problems.
Rename clear_directory() to dir_clear() to be more in line with other
data structures in git, and introduce a dir_init() to handle the
suggested memsetting of dir_struct to all zeroes. I hope that a name
like "dir_clear()" is more clear, and that the presence of dir_init()
will provide a hint to those looking at the code that they need to look
for either a dir_clear() or a dir_free() and lead them to find
dir_clear().

The calling convention for the dir API is supposed to end with a call to
clear_directory() to free up no longer needed memory. However,
clear_directory() didn't free dir->entries or dir->ignored. I believe
this was an oversight, but a number of callers noticed memory leaks and
started free'ing these. Unfortunately, they did so somewhat haphazardly
(sometimes freeing the entries in the arrays, and sometimes only
free'ing the arrays themselves). This suggests the callers weren't
trying to make sure any possible memory used might be free'd, but just
the memory they noticed their usecase definitely had allocated.
Fix this mess by moving all the duplicated free'ing logic into
clear_directory(). End by resetting dir to a pristine state so it could
be reused if desired.

Nonbare repositories are special directories. Unlike normal directories
that we might recurse into to list the files they contain, nonbare
repositories must themselves match and then we always report only on the
nonbare repository directory itself and not on any of its contents.
Separately, when traversing directories to try to find untracked or
excluded files, we often think in terms of paths either matching the
specified pathspec, or not matching them. However, there is a special
value that do_match_pathspec() uses named
MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC which means "this directory does
not match any pathspec BUT it is possible a file or directory underneath
it does." That special value prevents us from prematurely thinking that
some directory and everything under it is irrelevant, but also allows us
to differentiate from "this is a match".
The combination of these two special cases was previously uncovered.
Add a test to the testsuite to cover it, and make sure that we return a
nonbare repository as a non-match if the best match it got was
MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC.

In 95c11ecc73 ("Fix error-prone fill_directory() API; make it only
return matches", 2020-04-01), we taught `fill_directory()`, or more
specifically `treat_path()`, to check against any pathspecs so that we
could simplify the callers.
But in doing so, we added a slightly-too-early return for the "excluded"
case. We end up not checking the pathspecs, meaning we return
`path_excluded` when maybe we should return `path_none`. As a result,
`git status --ignored -- pathspec` might show paths that don't actually
match "pathspec".
Move the "excluded" check down to after we've checked any pathspecs.

because:
* As dir.h points out, DIR_KEEP_UNTRACKED_CONTENTS only takes effect
if DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO is set.
* As coded, I believe DIR_SHOW_IGNORED would just happen to take
precedence over DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO in the code as currently
constructed.
Which is a long way of saying "we just got lucky".

do_match_pathspec() started life as match_pathspec_depth_1() and for
correctness was only supposed to be called from match_pathspec_depth().
match_pathspec_depth() was later renamed to match_pathspec(), so the
invariant we expect today is that do_match_pathspec() has no direct
callers outside of match_pathspec().
Unfortunately, this intention was lost with the renames of the two
functions, and additional calls to do_match_pathspec() were added in
commits 75a6315f74 ("ls-files: add pathspec matching for submodules",
2016-10-07) and 89a1f4aaf7 ("dir: if our pathspec might match files
under a dir, recurse into it", 2019-09-17). Of course,
do_match_pathspec() had an important advantge over match_pathspec() --
match_pathspec() would hardcode flags to one of two values, and these
new callers needed to pass some other value for flags. Also, although
calling do_match_pathspec() directly was incorrect, there likely wasn't
any difference in the observable end output, because the bug just meant
that fill_diretory() would recurse into unneeded directories. Since
subsequent does-this-path-match checks on individual paths under the
directory would cause those extra paths to be filtered out, the only
difference from using the wrong function was unnecessary computation.
The second of those bad calls to do_match_pathspec() was involved -- via
either direct movement or via copying+editing -- into a number of later
refactors. See commits 777b420347 ("dir: synchronize
treat_leading_path() and read_directory_recursive()", 2019-12-19),
8d92fb2927 ("dir: replace exponential algorithm with a linear one",
2020-04-01), and 95c11ecc73 ("Fix error-prone fill_directory() API; make
it only return matches", 2020-04-01). The last of those introduced the
usage of do_match_pathspec() on an individual file, and thus resulted in
individual paths being returned that shouldn't be.
The problem with calling do_match_pathspec() instead of match_pathspec()
is that any negated patterns such as ':!unwanted_path` will be ignored.
Add a new match_pathspec_with_flags() function to fulfill the needs of
specifying special flags while still correctly checking negated
patterns, add a big comment above do_match_pathspec() to prevent others
from misusing it, and correct current callers of do_match_pathspec() to
instead use either match_pathspec() or match_pathspec_with_flags().
One final note is that DO_MATCH_LEADING_PATHSPEC needs special
consideration when working with DO_MATCH_EXCLUDE. The point of
DO_MATCH_LEADING_PATHSPEC is that if we have a pathspec like
*/Makefile
and we are checking a directory path like
src/module/component
that we want to consider it a match so that we recurse into the
directory because it _might_ have a file named Makefile somewhere below.
However, when we are using an exclusion pattern, i.e. we have a pathspec
like
:(exclude)*/Makefile
we do NOT want to say that a directory path like
src/module/component
is a (negative) match. While there *might* be a file named 'Makefile'
somewhere below that directory, there could also be other files and we
cannot pre-emptively rule all the files under that directory out; we
need to recurse and then check individual files. Adjust the
DO_MATCH_LEADING_PATHSPEC logic to only get activated for positive
pathspecs.

Traditionally, the expected calling convention for the dir.c API was:
fill_directory(&dir, ..., pathspec)
foreach entry in dir->entries:
if (dir_path_match(entry, pathspec))
process_or_display(entry)
This may have made sense once upon a time, because the fill_directory() call
could use cheap checks to avoid doing full pathspec matching, and an external
caller may have wanted to do other post-processing of the results anyway.
However:
* this structure makes it easy for users of the API to get it wrong
* this structure actually makes it harder to understand
fill_directory() and the functions it uses internally. It has
tripped me up several times while trying to fix bugs and
restructure things.
* relying on post-filtering was already found to produce wrong
results; pathspec matching had to be added internally for multiple
cases in order to get the right results (see commits 404ebceda0
(dir: also check directories for matching pathspecs, 2019-09-17)
and 89a1f4aaf7 (dir: if our pathspec might match files under a
dir, recurse into it, 2019-09-17))
* it's bad for performance: fill_directory() already has to do lots
of checks and knows the subset of cases where it still needs to do
more checks. Forcing external callers to do full pathspec
matching means they must re-check _every_ path.
So, add the pathspec matching within the fill_directory() internals, and
remove it from external callers.

dir's read_directory_recursive() naturally operates recursively in order
to walk the directory tree. Treating of directories is sometimes weird
because there are so many different permutations about how to handle
directories. Some examples:
* 'git ls-files -o --directory' only needs to know that a directory
itself is untracked; it doesn't need to recurse into it to see what
is underneath.
* 'git status' needs to recurse into an untracked directory, but only
to determine whether or not it is empty. If there are no files
underneath, the directory itself will be omitted from the output.
If it is not empty, only the directory will be listed.
* 'git status --ignored' needs to recurse into untracked directories
and report all the ignored entries and then report the directory as
untracked -- UNLESS all the entries under the directory are
ignored, in which case we don't print any of the entries under the
directory and just report the directory itself as ignored. (Note
that although this forces us to walk all untracked files underneath
the directory as well, we strip them from the output, except for
users like 'git clean' who also set DIR_KEEP_TRACKED_CONTENTS.)
* For 'git clean', we may need to recurse into a directory that
doesn't match any specified pathspecs, if it's possible that there
is an entry underneath the directory that can match one of the
pathspecs. In such a case, we need to be careful to omit the
directory itself from the list of paths (see commit 404ebceda0
("dir: also check directories for matching pathspecs", 2019-09-17))
Part of the tension noted above is that the treatment of a directory can
change based on the files within it, and based on the various settings
in dir->flags. Trying to keep this in mind while reading over the code,
it is easy to think in terms of "treat_directory() tells us what to do
with a directory, and read_directory_recursive() is the thing that
recurses". Since we need to look into a directory to know how to treat
it, though, it is quite easy to decide to (also) recurse into the
directory from treat_directory() by adding a read_directory_recursive()
call. Adding such a call is actually fine, IF we make sure that
read_directory_recursive() does not also recurse into that same
directory.
Unfortunately, commit df5bcdf83a ("dir: recurse into untracked dirs
for ignored files", 2017-05-18), added exactly such a case to the code,
meaning we'd have two calls to read_directory_recursive() for an
untracked directory. So, if we had a file named
one/two/three/four/five/somefile.txt
and nothing in one/ was tracked, then 'git status --ignored' would
call read_directory_recursive() twice on the directory 'one/', and
each of those would call read_directory_recursive() twice on the
directory 'one/two/', and so on until read_directory_recursive() was
called 2^5 times for 'one/two/three/four/five/'.
Avoid calling read_directory_recursive() twice per level by moving a
lot of the special logic into treat_directory().
Since dir.c is somewhat complex, extra cruft built up around this over
time. While trying to unravel it, I noticed several instances where the
first call to read_directory_recursive() would return e.g.
path_untracked for some directory and a later one would return e.g.
path_none, despite the fact that the directory clearly should have been
considered untracked. The code happened to work due to the side-effect
from the first invocation of adding untracked entries to dir->entries;
this allowed it to get the correct output despite the supposed override
in return value by the later call.
I am somewhat concerned that there are still bugs and maybe even
testcases with the wrong expectation. I have tried to carefully
document treat_directory() since it becomes more complex after this
change (though much of this complexity came from elsewhere that probably
deserved better comments to begin with). However, much of my work felt
more like a game of whackamole while attempting to make the code match
the existing regression tests than an attempt to create an
implementation that matched some clear design. That seems wrong to me,
but the rules of existing behavior had so many special cases that I had
a hard time coming up with some overarching rules about what correct
behavior is for all cases, forcing me to hope that the regression tests
are correct and sufficient. Such a hope seems likely to be ill-founded,
given my experience with dir.c-related testcases in the last few months:

do

rm -rf dir
mkdir -p $dirs
>$dirs/untracked-file
/usr/bin/time --format="$depth: %e" git status --ignored >/dev/null
done
I saw the following timings, in seconds (note that the numbers are a
little noisy from run-to-run, but the trend is very clear with every
run):
10: 0.03
11: 0.05
12: 0.08
13: 0.19
14: 0.29
15: 0.50
16: 1.05

19: 8.60
20: 17.55
21: 33.87
22: 68.71
23: 140.05
24: 274.45
25: 551.15
For the above run, using strace I can look for the number of untracked
directories opened and can verify that it matches the expected
2^($depth+1)-2 (the sum of 2^1 + 2^2 + 2^3 + ... + 2^$depth).
After this fix, with strace I can verify that the number of untracked
directories that are opened drops to just $depth, and the timings all
drop to 0.00. In fact, it isn't until a depth of 190 nested directories
that it sometimes starts reporting a time of 0.01 seconds and doesn't
consistently report 0.01 seconds until there are 240 nested directories.
The previous code would have taken
17.55 * 2^220 / (60*60*24*365) = 9.4 * 10^59 YEARS
to have completed the 240 nested directories case. It's not often
that you get to speed something up by a factor of 3*10^69.

The logic in treat_directory() is handled by a multi-case
switch statement, but this switch is very asymmetrical, as
the first two cases are simple but the third is more
complicated than the rest of the method. In fact, the third
case includes a "break" statement that leads to the block
of code outside the switch statement. That is the only way
to reach that block, as the switch handles all possible
values from directory_exists_in_index();
Extract the switch statement into a series of "if" statements.
This simplifies the trivial cases, while clarifying how to
reach the "show_other_directories" case. This is particularly
important as the "show_other_directories" case will expand
in a later change.

Despite having contributed several fixes in this area, I have for months
(years?) assumed that the "exclude" variable was a directive; this
caused me to think of it as a different mode we operate in and left me
confused as I tried to build up a mental model around why we'd need such
a directive. I mostly tried to ignore it while focusing on the pieces I
was trying to understand.
Then I finally traced this variable all back to a call to is_excluded(),
meaning it was actually functioning as an adjective. In particular, it
was a checked property ("Does this path match a rule in .gitignore?"),
rather than a mode passed in from the caller. Change the variable name
to match the part of speech used by the function called to define it,
which will hopefully make these bits of code slightly clearer to the

other functions entirely.
Since the only reason for splitting these functions was the lack of a
dirent -- which no longer applies to either function -- and since the
split caused problems in the past resulting in us not using
treat_one_path() separately anymore, just undo the split.

In 9e6d3e64 (sparse-checkout: detect short patterns, 2020-01-24), a
condition on the minimum length of a cone-mode pattern was introduced.
However, this condition was off-by-one.
If we have a directory with a single character, say "b", then the
command
git sparse-checkout set b
will correctly add the pattern "/b/" to the sparse-checkout file. When
this is interpeted in dir.c, the pattern is "/b" with the
PATTERN_FLAG_MUSTBEDIR flag. This string has length two, which satisfies
our inclusive inequality (<= 2).
The reason for this inequality is that we will start to read the pattern
string character-by-character using three char pointers: prev, cur,
next. In particular, next is set to the current pattern plus two. The
mistake was that next will still be a valid pointer when the pattern
length is two, since the string is null-terminated.
Make this inequality strict so these patterns work.

In cone mode, the sparse-checkout commmand will write patterns that
allow faster pattern matching. This matching only works if the patterns
in the sparse-checkout file are those written by that command. Users
can edit the sparse-checkout file and create patterns that cause the
cone mode matching to fail.
The cone mode patterns may end in "/*" but otherwise an un-escaped
asterisk or other glob character is invalid. Add checks to disable
cone mode when seeing these values.
A later change will properly handle escaped globs.

there are at least three characters in the pattern.

When core.sparseCheckoutCone is enabled, the 'git sparse-checkout set'
command creates a restricted set of possible patterns that are used
by a custom algorithm to quickly match those patterns.
If a user manually edits the sparse-checkout file, then they could
create patterns that do not match these expectations. The cone-mode
matching algorithm can return incorrect results. The solution is to
detect these incorrect patterns, warn that we do not recognize them,
and revert to the standard algorithm.
Check each pattern for the "**" substring, and revert to the old
logic if seen. While technically a "/<dir>/**" pattern matches
the meaning of "/<dir>/", it is not one that would be written by
the sparse-checkout builtin in cone mode. Attempting to accept that
pattern change complicates the logic and instead we punt and do
not accept any instance of "**".

I was going to title this "dir: more synchronizing of
treat_leading_path() and read_directory_recursive()", a nod to commit
777b420347 ("dir: synchronize treat_leading_path() and
read_directory_recursive()", 2019-12-19), but the title was too long.
Anyway, first the backstory...
fill_directory() has always had a slightly error-prone interface: it
returns a subset of paths which *might* match the specified pathspec; it
was intended to prune away some paths which didn't match the specified
pathspec and keep at least all the ones that did match it. Given this
interface, callers were responsible to post-process the results and
check whether each actually matched the pathspec.
builtin/clean.c did this. It would first prune out duplicates (e.g. if
"dir" was returned as well as all files under "dir/", then it would
simplify this to just "dir"), and after pruning duplicates it would
compare the remaining paths to the specified pathspec(s). This
post-processing itself could run into problems, though, as noted in
commit 404ebceda0 ("dir: also check directories for matching
pathspecs", 2019-09-17):
For the case of git-clean and a set of pathspecs of "dir/file" and
"more", this caused a problem because we'd end up with dir entries
for both of
"dir"
"dir/file"
Then correct_untracked_entries() would try to helpfully prune
duplicates for us by removing "dir/file" since it's under "dir",
leaving us with
"dir"
Since the original pathspec only had "dir/file", the only entry left
doesn't match and leaves nothing to be removed. (Note that if only
one pathspec was specified, e.g. only "dir/file", then the
common_prefix_len optimizations in fill_directory would cause us to
bypass this problem, making it appear in simple tests that we could
correctly remove manually specified pathspecs.)
That commit fixed the issue -- when multiple pathspecs were specified --
by making sure fill_directory() wouldn't return both "dir" and
"dir/file" outside the common_prefix_len optimization path. This is
where it starts to get fun.
In commit b9670c1f5e ("dir: fix checks on common prefix directory",
2019-12-19), we noticed that the common_prefix_len wasn't doing
appropriate checks and letting all kinds of stuff through, resulting in
recursing into .git/ directories and other craziness. So it started
locking down and doing checks on pathnames within that code path. That
continued with commit 777b420347 ("dir: synchronize
treat_leading_path() and read_directory_recursive()", 2019-12-19), which
noted the following:
Our optimization to avoid calling into read_directory_recursive()
when all pathspecs have a common leading directory mean that we need
to match the logic that read_directory_recursive() would use if we
had just called it from the root. Since it does more than call
treat_path() we need to copy that same logic.
...and then it more forcefully addressed the issue with this wonderfully
ironic statement:
Needing to duplicate logic like this means it is guaranteed someone
will eventually need to make further changes and forget to update
both locations. It is tempting to just nuke the leading_directory
special casing to avoid such bugs and simplify the code, but
unpack_trees' verify_clean_subdirectory() also calls
read_directory() and does so with a non-empty leading path, so I'm
hesitant to try to restructure further. Add obnoxious warnings to
treat_leading_path() and read_directory_recursive() to try to warn
people of such problems.
You would think that with such a strongly worded description, that its
author would have actually ensured that the logic in
treat_leading_path() and read_directory_recursive() did actually match
and that *everything* that was needed had at least been copied over at
the time that this paragraph was written. But you'd be wrong, I messed
it up by missing part of the logic.

Our optimization to avoid calling into read_directory_recursive() when
all pathspecs have a common leading directory mean that we need to match
the logic that read_directory_recursive() would use if we had just
called it from the root. Since it does more than call treat_path() we
need to copy that same logic.
Alternatively, we could try to change treat_path to return path_recurse
for an untracked directory under the given special circumstances that
this logic checks for, but a simple switch results in many test failures
such as 'git clean -d' not wiping out untracked but empty directories.
To work around that, we'd need the caller of treat_path to check for
path_recurse and sometimes special case it into path_untracked. In
other words, we'd still have extra logic in both places.
Needing to duplicate logic like this means it is guaranteed someone will
eventually need to make further changes and forget to update both

Many years ago, the directory traversing logic had an optimization that
would always recurse into any directory that was a common prefix of all
the pathspecs without walking the leading directories to get down to
the desired directory. Thus,
git ls-files -o .git/ # case A
would notice that .git/ was a common prefix of all pathspecs (since
it is the only pathspec listed), and then traverse into it and start
showing unknown files under that directory. Unfortunately, .git/ is not
a directory we should be traversing into, which made this optimization
problematic. This also affected cases like
git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/ # case B
where t/ was in the .gitignore file and thus isn't interesting and
shouldn't be recursed into. It also affected cases like
git ls-files -o --directory untracked_dir/ # case C
where untracked_dir/ is indeed untracked and thus interesting, but the
--directory flag means we only want to show the directory itself, not
recurse into it and start listing untracked files below it.
The case B class of bugs were noted and fixed in commits 16e2cfa909
("read_directory(): further split treat_path()", 2010-01-08) and
48ffef966c ("ls-files: fix overeager pathspec optimization",
2010-01-08), with the idea being that we first wanted to check whether
the common prefix was interesting. The former patch noted that
treat_path() couldn't be used when checking the common prefix because
treat_path() requires a dir_entry() and we haven't read any directories
at the point we are checking the common prefix. So, that patch split
treat_one_path() out of treat_path(). The latter patch then created a
new treat_leading_path() which duplicated by hand the bits of
treat_path() that couldn't be broken out and then called
treat_one_path() for the remainder. There were three problems with this
approach:
* The duplicated logic in treat_leading_path() accidentally missed the
check for special paths (such as is_dot_or_dotdot and matching
".git"), causing case A types of bugs to continue to be an issue.
* The treat_leading_path() logic assumed we should traverse into
anything where path_treatment was not path_none, i.e. it perpetuated
class C types of bugs.
* It meant we had split logic that needed to kept in sync, running the
risk that people introduced new inconsistencies (such as in commit
be8a84c526, which we reverted earlier in this series, or in commit
df5bcdf83a which we'll fix in a subsequent commit)
Fix most these problems by making treat_leading_path() not only loop
over each leading path component, but calling treat_path() directly on
each. To do so, we have to create a synthetic dir_entry, but that only
takes a few lines. Then, pay attention to the path_treatment result we
get from treat_path() and don't treat path_excluded, path_untracked, and
path_recurse all the same as path_recurse.
This leaves one remaining problem, the new inconsistency from commit
df5bcdf83a. That will be addressed in a subsequent commit.

When a user uses the sparse-checkout feature in cone mode, they
add patterns using "git sparse-checkout set <dir1> <dir2> ..."
or by using "--stdin" to provide the directories line-by-line over
stdin. This behaviour naturally looks a lot like the way a user
would type "git add <dir1> <dir2> ..."
If core.ignoreCase is enabled, then "git add" will match the input
using a case-insensitive match. Do the same for the sparse-checkout
feature.
Perform case-insensitive checks while updating the skip-worktree
bits during unpack_trees(). This is done by changing the hash
algorithm and hashmap comparison methods to optionally use case-
insensitive methods.
When this is enabled, there is a small performance cost in the
hashing algorithm. To tease out the worst possible case, the
following was run on a repo with a deep directory structure:
git ls-tree -d -r --name-only HEAD |
git sparse-checkout set --stdin
The 'set' command was timed with core.ignoreCase disabled or
enabled. For the repo with a deep history, the numbers were
core.ignoreCase=false: 62s
core.ignoreCase=true: 74s (+19.3%)
For reproducibility, the equivalent test on the Linux kernel
repository had these numbers:
core.ignoreCase=false: 3.1s
core.ignoreCase=true: 3.6s (+16%)
Now, this is not an entirely fair comparison, as most users
will define their sparse cone using more shallow directories,
and the performance improvement from eb42feca97 ("unpack-trees:
hash less in cone mode" 2019-11-21) can remove most of the
hash cost. For a more realistic test, drop the "-r" from the
ls-tree command to store only the first-level directories.
In that case, the Linux kernel repository takes 0.2-0.25s in
each case, and the deep repository takes one second, plus or
minus 0.05s, in each case.
Thus, we _can_ demonstrate a cost to this change, but it is
unlikely to matter to any reasonable sparse-checkout cone.

Commit be8a84c526 ("dir.c: make 'git-status --ignored' work within
leading directories", 2013-04-15) noted that
git status --ignored <SOMEPATH>
would not list ignored files and directories within <SOMEPATH> if
<SOMEPATH> was untracked, and modified the behavior to make it show
them. However, it did so via a hack that broke consistency; it would
show paths under <SOMEPATH> differently than a simple
git status --ignored | grep <SOMEPATH>
would show them. A correct fix is slightly more involved, and
complicated slightly by this hack, so we revert this commit (but keep
corrected versions of the testcases) and will later fix the original
bug with a subsequent patch.
Some history may be helpful:
A very, very similar case to the commit we are reverting was raised in
commit 48ffef966c ("ls-files: fix overeager pathspec optimization",
2010-01-08); but it actually went in somewhat the opposite direction. In
that commit, it mentioned how
git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/
used to show untracked files under t/ even when t/ was ignored, and then
changed the behavior to stop showing untracked files under an ignored
directory. More importantly, this commit considered keeping this
behavior but noted that it would be inconsistent with the behavior when
multiple pathspecs were specified and thus rejected it.
The reason for this whole inconsistency when one pathspec is specified
versus zero or two is because common prefixes of pathspecs are sent
through a different set of checks (in treat_leading_path()) than normal
file/directory traversal (those go through read_directory_recursive()
and treat_path()). As such, for consistency, one needs to check that
both codepaths produce the same result.
Revert commit be8a84c526, except instead
of removing the testcase it added, modify it to check for correct and
consistent behavior. A subsequent patch in this series will fix the
testcase.

The parent and recursive patterns allowed by the "cone mode"
option in sparse-checkout are restrictive enough that we
can avoid using the regex parsing. Everything is based on
prefix matches, so we can use hashsets to store the prefixes
from the sparse-checkout file. When checking a path, we can
strip path entries from the path and check the hashset for
an exact match.
As a test, I created a cone-mode sparse-checkout file for the
Linux repository that actually includes every file. This was
constructed by taking every folder in the Linux repo and creating
the pattern pairs here:
/$folder/
!/$folder/*/
This resulted in a sparse-checkout file sith 8,296 patterns.
Running 'git read-tree -mu HEAD' on this file had the following
performance:
core.sparseCheckout=false: 0.21 s (0.00 s)
core.sparseCheckout=true: 3.75 s (3.50 s)
core.sparseCheckoutCone=true: 0.23 s (0.01 s)
The times in parentheses above correspond to the time spent
in the first clear_ce_flags() call, according to the trace2
performance traces.
While this example is contrived, it demonstrates how these
patterns can slow the sparse-checkout feature.

Commits 404ebceda0 ("dir: also check directories for matching
pathspecs", 2019-09-17) and 89a1f4aaf7 ("dir: if our pathspec might
match files under a dir, recurse into it", 2019-09-17) added calls to
match_pathspec() and do_match_pathspec() passing along their pathspec
parameter. Both match_pathspec() and do_match_pathspec() assume the
pathspec argument they are given is non-NULL. It turns out that
unpack-tree.c's verify_clean_subdirectory() calls read_directory() with
pathspec == NULL, and it is possible on case insensitive filesystems for
that NULL to make it to these new calls to match_pathspec() and
do_match_pathspec(). Add appropriate checks on the NULLness of pathspec
to avoid a segfault.
In case the negation throws anyone off (one of the calls was to
do_match_pathspec() while the other was to !match_pathspec(), yet no
negation of the NULLness of pathspec is used), there are two ways to
understand the differences:
* The code already handled the pathspec == NULL cases before this
series, and this series only tried to change behavior when there was
a pathspec, thus we only want to go into the if-block if pathspec is
non-NULL.
* One of the calls is for whether to recurse into a subdirectory, the
other is for after we've recursed into it for whether we want to
remove the subdirectory itself (i.e. the subdirectory didn't match
but something under it could have). That difference in situation
leads to the slight differences in logic used (well, that and the
slightly unusual fact that we don't want empty pathspecs to remove
untracked directories by default).
Denton found and analyzed one issue and provided the patch for the
match_pathspec() call, SZEDER figured out why the issue only reproduced
for some folks and not others and provided the testcase, and I looked
through the remainder of the series and noted the do_match_pathspec()
call that should have the same check.

Users expect files in a nested git repository to be left alone unless
sufficiently forced (with two -f's). Unfortunately, in certain
circumstances, git would delete both tracked (and possibly dirty) files
and untracked files within a nested repository. To explain how this
happens, let's contrast a couple cases. First, take the following
example setup (which assumes we are already within a git repo):
git init nested
cd nested
>tracked
git add tracked
git commit -m init
>untracked
cd ..
In this setup, everything works as expected; running 'git clean -fd'
will result in fill_directory() returning the following paths:
nested/
nested/tracked
nested/untracked
and then correct_untracked_entries() would notice this can be compressed
to
nested/
and then since "nested/" is a directory, we would call
remove_dirs("nested/", ...), which would
check is_nonbare_repository_dir() and then decide to skip it.
However, if someone also creates an ignored file:
>nested/ignored
then running 'git clean -fd' would result in fill_directory() returning
the same paths:
nested/
nested/tracked
nested/untracked
but correct_untracked_entries() will notice that we had ignored entries
under nested/ and thus simplify this list to
nested/tracked
nested/untracked
Since these are not directories, we do not call remove_dirs() which was
the only place that had the is_nonbare_repository_dir() safety check --
resulting in us deleting both the untracked file and the tracked (and
possibly dirty) file.
One possible fix for this issue would be walking the parent directories
of each path and checking if they represent nonbare repositories, but
that would be wasteful. Even if we added caching of some sort, it's
still a waste because we should have been able to check that "nested/"
represented a nonbare repository before even descending into it in the
first place. Add a DIR_SKIP_NESTED_GIT flag to dir_struct.flags and use
it to prevent fill_directory() and friends from descending into nested
git repos.
With this change, we also modify two regression tests added in commit
91479b9c72 ("t7300: add tests to document behavior of clean and nested
git", 2015-06-15). That commit, nor its series, nor the six previous
iterations of that series on the mailing list discussed why those tests
coded the expectation they did. In fact, it appears their purpose was
simply to test _existing_ behavior to make sure that the performance
changes didn't change the behavior. However, these two tests directly
contradicted the manpage's claims that two -f's were required to delete
files/directories under a nested git repository. While one could argue
that the user gave an explicit path which matched files/directories that
were within a nested repository, there's a slippery slope that becomes
very difficult for users to understand once you go down that route (e.g.
what if they specified "git clean -f -d '*.c'"?) It would also be hard
to explain what the exact behavior was; avoid such problems by making it
really simple.
Also, clean up some grammar errors describing this functionality in the
git-clean manpage.
Finally, there are still a couple bugs with -ffd not cleaning out enough
(e.g. missing the nested .git) and with -ffdX possibly cleaning out the
wrong files (paying attention to outer .gitignore instead of inner).
This patch does not address these cases at all (and does not change the
behavior relative to those flags), it only fixes the handling when given
a single -f. See
https://public-inbox.org/git/20190905212043.GC32087@szeder.dev/ for more
discussion of the -ffd[X?] bugs.

For git clean, if a directory is entirely untracked and the user did not
specify -d (corresponding to DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO), then we usually do
not want to remove that directory and thus do not recurse into it.
However, if the user manually specified specific (or even globbed) paths
somewhere under that directory to remove, then we need to recurse into
the directory to make sure we remove the relevant paths under that
directory as the user requested.
Note that this does not mean that the recursed-into directory will be
added to dir->entries for later removal; as of a few commits earlier in
this series, there is another more strict match check that is run after
returning from a recursed-into directory before deciding to add it to the
list of entries. Therefore, this will only result in files underneath
the given directory which match one of the pathspecs being added to the
entries list.
Two notes of potential interest to future readers:
* If we wanted to only recurse into a directory when it is specifically
matched rather than matched-via-glob (e.g. '*.c'), then we could do
so via making the final non-zero return in match_pathspec_item be
MATCHED_RECURSIVELY instead of MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC.
(Note that the relative order of MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC
and MATCHED_RECURSIVELY are important for such a change.) I was
leaving open that possibility while writing an RFC asking for the
behavior we want, but even though we don't want it, that knowledge
might help you understand the code flow better.
* There is a growing amount of logic in read_directory_recursive() for
deciding whether to recurse into a subdirectory. However, there is a
comment immediately preceding this logic that says to recurse if
instructed by treat_path(). It may be better for the logic in
read_directory_recursive() to ultimately be moved to treat_path() (or
another function it calls, such as treat_directory()), but I have
left that for someone else to tackle in the future.

Even if a directory doesn't match a pathspec, it is possible, depending
on the precise pathspecs, that some file underneath it might. So we
special case and recurse into the directory for such situations. However,
we previously always added any untracked directory that we recursed into
to the list of untracked paths, regardless of whether the directory
itself matched the pathspec.
For the case of git-clean and a set of pathspecs of "dir/file" and "more",
this caused a problem because we'd end up with dir entries for both of
"dir"
"dir/file"
Then correct_untracked_entries() would try to helpfully prune duplicates
for us by removing "dir/file" since it's under "dir", leaving us with
"dir"
Since the original pathspec only had "dir/file", the only entry left
doesn't match and leaves nothing to be removed. (Note that if only one
pathspec was specified, e.g. only "dir/file", then the common_prefix_len
optimizations in fill_directory would cause us to bypass this problem,
making it appear in simple tests that we could correctly remove manually
specified pathspecs.)
Fix this by actually checking whether the directory we are about to add
to the list of dir entries actually matches the pathspec; only do this
matching check after we have already returned from recursing into the
directory.

For a pathspec like 'foo/bar' comparing against a path named "foo/",
namelen will be 4, and match[namelen] will be 'b'. The correct location
of the directory separator is namelen-1.
However, other callers of match_pathspec_item() such as builtin/grep.c's
submodule_path_match() will compare against a path named "foo" instead of
"foo/". It might be better to change all the callers to be consistent,
as discussed at
https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqq7e6cdnkr.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com/
and
https://public-inbox.org/git/CABPp-BERWUPCPq-9fVW1LNocqkrfsoF4BPj3gJd9+En43vEkTQ@mail.gmail.com/
but there are many cases to audit, so for now just make sure we handle
both cases with and without a trailing slash.
The reason the code worked despite this sometimes-off-by-one error was
that the subsequent code immediately checked whether the first matchlen
characters matched (which they do) and then bailed and return
MATCHED_RECURSIVELY anyway since wildmatch doesn't have the ability to
check if "name" can be matched as a directory (or prefix) against the
pathspec.

The first consumer of pattern-matching filenames was the
.gitignore feature. In that context, storing a list of patterns
as a 'struct exclude_list' makes sense. However, the
sparse-checkout feature then adopted these structures and methods,
but with the opposite meaning: these patterns match the files
that should be included!
Now that this library is renamed to use 'struct pattern_list'
and 'struct pattern', we can now rename the method used by
the sparse-checkout feature to determine which paths should
appear in the working directory.
The method is_excluded_from_list() is only used by the
sparse-checkout logic in unpack-trees and list-objects-filter.
The confusing part is that it returned 1 for "excluded" (i.e.
it matches the list of exclusions) but that really manes that
the path matched the list of patterns for _inclusion_ in the
working directory.
Rename the method to be path_matches_pattern_list() and have
it return an explicit 'enum pattern_match_result'. Here, the
values MATCHED = 1, UNMATCHED = 0, and UNDECIDED = -1 agree
with the previous integer values. This shift allows future
consumers to better understand what the retur values mean,
and provides more type checking for handling those values.

Calculating the sum of two array indexes to find the midpoint between
them can overflow, i.e. code like this is unsafe for big arrays:
mid = (first + last) >> 1;
Make sure the intermediate value stays within the boundaries instead,
like this:
mid = first + ((last - first) >> 1);
The loop condition of the binary search makes sure that 'last' is
always greater than 'first', so this is safe as long as 'first' is
not negative. And that can be verified easily using the pre-context

The code which parses untracked-cache extensions from disk keeps a "len"
variable, which is the size of the string we are parsing. But since we
now have an "end of string" variable, we can just use that to get the
length when we need it. This eliminates the need to keep "len" up to
date (and removes the possibility of any errors where "len" and "eos"
get out of sync).
As a bonus, it means we are not storing a string length in an "int",
which is a potential source of overflows (though in this case it seems
fairly unlikely for that to cause any memory problems).

When we parse an on-disk untracked cache, we have two pointers, "data"
and "next". As we parse, we point "next" to the end of an element, and
then later update "data" to match.
But we actually don't need two pointers. Each parsing step can just
update "data" directly from other variables we hold (and we don't have
to worry about bailing in an intermediate state, since any parsing
failure causes us to immediately discard "data" and return).

The on-disk format for the untracked-cache extension contains
NUL-terminated filenames. We parse these from the mmap'd file using
string functions like strlen(). This works fine in the normal case, but
if we see a malformed or corrupted index, we might read off the end of
our mmap.
Instead, let's use memchr() to find the trailing NUL within the bytes we
know are available, and return an error if it's missing.
Note that we can further simplify by folding another range check into
our conditional. After we find the end of the string, we set "next" to
the byte after the string and treat it as an error if there are no such
bytes left. That saves us from having to do a range check at the
beginning of each subsequent string (and works because there is always
data after each string). We can do both range checks together by
checking "!eos" (we didn't find a NUL) and "eos == end" (it was on the
last available byte, meaning there's nothing after). This replaces the
existing "next > end" checks.
Note also that the decode_varint() calls have a similar problem (we
don't even pass them "end"; they just keep parsing). These are probably
OK in practice since varints have a finite length (we stop parsing when
we'd overflow a uintmax_t), so the worst case is that we'd overflow into
reading the trailing bytes of the index.

In f9e6c64958 (untracked cache: load from UNTR index extension,
2015-03-08), code was added to read back the untracked cache from an
index extension.
Probably in the endeavor to avoid the `calloc()` implied by
`FLEX_ALLOC_STR()` (it is hard to know why exactly, the commit message
of that commit is a bit parsimonious with information), it calls
`malloc()` manually and then `memcpy()`s the bits and pieces into place.
It allocates the size of `struct untracked_cache_dir` plus the string
length of the untracked file name, then copies the information in two
steps: first the fixed-size metadata, then the name. And here lies the
rub: it includes the trailing NUL byte in the name.
If `FLEX_ARRAY` is defined as 0, this results in a buffer overrun.
To fix this, let's just add 1, for the trailing NUL byte. Technically,
this overallocates on platforms where `FLEX_ARRAY` is 1, but it should
not matter much in reality, as `malloc()` usually overallocates anyway,
unless the size to allocate aligns exactly with some internal chunk size
(see below for more on that).
The real strange thing is that neither valgrind nor DrMemory catches
this bug. In this developer's tests, a `memcpy()` (but not a
`memset()`!) could write up to 4 bytes after the allocated memory range
before valgrind would start reporting an issue.
However, when running Git built with nedmalloc as allocator, under rare
conditions (and inconsistently at that), this bug triggered an `abort()`
because nedmalloc rounds up the size to be `malloc()`ed to a multiple of
a certain chunk size, then adds a few bytes to be used for storing some
internal state. If there is no rounding up to do (because the size is
already a multiple of that chunk size), and if the buffer is overrun as
in the code patched in this commit, the internal state is corrupted.
The scenario that triggered this here bug fix entailed a git.git
checkout with an extra copy of the source code in an untracked
subdirectory, meaning that there was an untracked subdirectory called
"thunderbird-patch-inline" whose name's length is exactly 24 bytes,
which, added to the size of above-mentioned `struct untracked_cache_dir`
that weighs in with 104 bytes on a 64-bit system, amounts to 128,
aligning perfectly with nedmalloc's chunk size.
As there is no obvious way to trigger this bug reliably, on all
platforms supported by Git, and as the bug is obvious enough, this patch
comes without a regression test.

When treat_directory() encounters a directory that is not in the index
and DIR_NO_GITLINKS is unset, it calls resolve_gitlink_ref() to decide
if a directory looks like a repository, in which case the directory
won't be traversed. As a result, 'status -uall' and 'ls-files -o'
will show only the directory, even when there are untracked files
within the directory.
For the unusual case where a repository doesn't have a commit checked
out, resolve_gitlink_ref() returns -1 because HEAD cannot be resolved,
and the directory is treated as a normal directory (i.e. traversal
does not stop at the repository boundary). The status and ls-files
commands above list untracked files within the repository rather than
showing only the top-level directory. And if 'git add' is called on a
repository with no commit checked out, any untracked files under the
repository are added as blobs in the top-level project, a behavior
that is unlikely to be what the caller intended.
The above case is a corner case in an already unusual situation of the
working tree containing a repository that is not a tracked submodule,
but we might as well treat anything that looks like a repository
consistently. Loosen the "looks like a repository" criteria in
treat_directory() by replacing resolve_gitlink_ref() with
is_nonbare_repository_dir(), one of the checks that is performed
downstream when resolve_gitlink_ref() is called.
As the required update to t3700-add shows, calling 'git add' on a
repository with no commit checked out will now raise an error. While
this is the desired behavior, note that the output isn't yet
appropriate. The next commit will improve this output.

The pathspec code always takes names to be matched as a
name/namelen pair, but match_attrs() never looks at namelen,
and just treats "name" like a NUL-terminated string, passing
it to git_check_attr().
This usually works anyway. Every caller passes a
NUL-terminated string, and in all but one the passed-in
length is the same as the length of the string (the
exception is dir_path_match(), which may pass a smaller
length to drop a trailing slash). So we won't currently ever
read random memory, and the one case I found actually
happens to work correctly because the attr code can handle
the trailing slash itself.
But it's still worth addressing, as the function interface
implies that the name does not have to be NUL-terminated,
making this an accident waiting to happen.
Since teaching git_check_attr() to take a ptr/len pair would
be a big refactor, we'll just allocate a new string. We can
do this only when necessary, which avoids paying the cost
for most callers.

coccinelle: use <...> for function exclusion
The unpack_trees() API used in checking out a branch and merging
walks one or more trees along with the index. When the cache-tree
in the index tells us that we are walking a tree whose flattened
contents is known (i.e. matches a span in the index), as linearly
scanning a span in the index is much more efficient than having to
open tree objects recursively and listing their entries, the walk
can be optimized, which is done in this topic.
* nd/unpack-trees-with-cache-tree:
Document update for nd/unpack-trees-with-cache-tree
cache-tree: verify valid cache-tree in the test suite
unpack-trees: add missing cache invalidation
unpack-trees: reuse (still valid) cache-tree from src_index
unpack-trees: reduce malloc in cache-tree walk
unpack-trees: optimize walking same trees with cache-tree
unpack-trees: add performance tracing
trace.h: support nested performance tracing
This is the flip side of the previous two patches: checking
for a non-zero oidcmp() can be more strictly expressed as
inequality. Like those patches, we write "!= 0" in the
coccinelle transformation, which covers by isomorphism the
more common:
if (oidcmp(E1, E2))
As with the previous two patches, this patch can be achieved
almost entirely by running "make coccicheck"; the only
differences are manual line-wrap fixes to match the original
code.
There is one thing to note for anybody replicating this,
though: coccinelle 1.0.4 seems to miss the case in
builtin/tag.c, even though it's basically the same as all
the others. Running with 1.0.7 does catch this, so
presumably it's just a coccinelle bug that was fixed in the
interim.

The more library-ish parts of the codebase learned to work on the
in-core index-state instance that is passed in by their callers,
instead of always working on the singleton "the_index" instance.

Performance measurements are listed right now as a flat list, which is
fine when we measure big blocks. But when we start adding more and
more measurements, some of them could be just part of a bigger
measurement and a flat list gives a wrong impression that they are
executed at the same level instead of nested.
Add trace_performance_enter() and trace_performance_leave() to allow
indent these nested measurements. For now it does not help much
because the only nested thing is (lazy) name hash initialization
(e.g. called in diff-index from "git status"). This will help more
because I'm going to add some more tracing that's actually nested.

Make the match_patchspec API and friends take an index_state instead
of assuming the_index in dir.c. All external call sites are converted
blindly to keep the patch simple and retain current behavior.
Individual call sites may receive further updates to use the right
index instead of the_index.

Make the attr API take an index_state instead of assuming the_index in
attr code. All call sites are converted blindly to keep the patch
simple and retain current behavior. Individual call sites may receive
further updates to use the right index instead of the_index.
There is one ugly temporary workaround added in attr.c that needs some
more explanation.
Commit c24f3abace (apply: file commited with CRLF should roundtrip
diff and apply - 2017-08-19) forces one convert_to_git() call to NOT
read the index at all. But what do you know, we read it anyway by
falling back to the_index. When "istate" from convert_to_git is now
propagated down to read_attr_from_array() we will hit segfault
somewhere inside read_blob_data_from_index.
The right way of dealing with this is to kill "use_index" variable and
only follow "istate" but at this stage we are not ready for that:
while most git_attr_set_direction() calls just passes the_index to be
assigned to use_index, unpack-trees passes a different one which is
used by entry.c code, which has no way to know what index to use if we
delete use_index. So this has to be done later.
