Junio C Hamano 78849622ec Merge branch 'jk/pack-objects-optim'
"git pack-objects" has a few options that tell it not to pack
objects found in certain packfiles, which require it to scan .idx
files of all available packs.  The codepaths involved in these
operations have been optimized for a common case of not having any
non-local pack and/or any .kept pack.

  pack-objects: compute local/ignore_pack_keep early
  pack-objects: break out of want_object loop early
  find_pack_entry: replace last_found_pack with MRU cache

Jeff King a73cdd21c4 find_pack_entry: replace last_found_pack with MRU cache
Each pack has an index for looking up entries in O(log n)
time, but if we have multiple packs, we have to scan through
them linearly. This can produce a measurable overhead for
some operations.

We dealt with this long ago in f7c22cc (always start looking
up objects in the last used pack first, 2007-05-30), which
keeps what is essentially a 1-element most-recently-used
cache. In theory, we should be able to do better by keeping
a similar but longer cache, that is the same length as the
pack-list itself.

Since we now have a convenient generic MRU structure, we can
plug it in and measure. Here are the numbers for running
p5303 against linux.git:

Test                      HEAD^                HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5303.3: rev-list (1)      31.56(31.28+0.27)    31.30(31.08+0.20) -0.8%
5303.4: repack (1)        40.62(39.35+2.36)    40.60(39.27+2.44) -0.0%
5303.6: rev-list (50)     31.31(31.06+0.23)    31.23(31.00+0.22) -0.3%
5303.7: repack (50)       58.65(69.12+1.94)    58.27(68.64+2.05) -0.6%
5303.9: rev-list (1000)   38.74(38.40+0.33)    31.87(31.62+0.24) -17.7%
5303.10: repack (1000)    367.20(441.80+4.62)  342.00(414.04+3.72) -6.9%

The main numbers of interest here are the rev-list ones
(since that is exercising the normal object lookup code
path).  The single-pack case shouldn't improve at all; the
260ms speedup there is just part of the run-to-run noise
(but it's important to note that we didn't make anything
worse with the overhead of maintaining our cache). In the
50-pack case, we see similar results. There may be a slight
improvement, but it's mostly within the noise.

The 1000-pack case does show a big improvement, though. That
carries over to the repack case, as well. Even though we
haven't touched its pack-search loop yet, it does still do a
lot of normal object lookups (e.g., for the internal
revision walk), and so improves.

As a point of reference, I also ran the 1000-pack test
against a version of HEAD^ with the last_found_pack
optimization disabled. It takes ~60s, so that gives an
indication of how much even the single-element cache is
helping.

For comparison, here's a smaller repository, git.git:

Test                      HEAD^               HEAD
---------------------------------------------------------------------
5303.3: rev-list (1)      1.56(1.54+0.01)    1.54(1.51+0.02) -1.3%
5303.4: repack (1)        1.84(1.80+0.10)    1.82(1.80+0.09) -1.1%
5303.6: rev-list (50)     1.58(1.55+0.02)    1.59(1.57+0.01) +0.6%
5303.7: repack (50)       2.50(3.18+0.04)    2.50(3.14+0.04) +0.0%
5303.9: rev-list (1000)   2.76(2.71+0.04)    2.24(2.21+0.02) -18.8%
5303.10: repack (1000)    13.21(19.56+0.25)  11.66(18.01+0.21) -11.7%

You can see that the percentage improvement is similar.
That's because the lookup we are optimizing is roughly
O(nr_objects * nr_packs). Since the number of packs is
constant in both tests, we'd expect the improvement to be
linear in the number of objects. But the whole process is
also linear in the number of objects, so the improvement
is a constant factor.

The exact improvement does also depend on the contents of
the packs. In p5303, the extra packs all have 5 first-parent
commits in them, which is a reasonable simulation of a
pushed-to repository. But it also means that only 250
first-parent commits are in those packs (compared to almost
50,000 total in linux.git), and the rest are in the huge
"base" pack. So once we start looking at history in taht big
pack, that's where we'll find most everything, and even the
1-element cache gets close to 100% cache hits.  You could
almost certainly show better numbers with a more
pathological case (e.g., distributing the objects more
evenly across the packs). But that's simply not that
realistic a scenario, so it makes more sense to focus on
these numbers.

The implementation itself is a straightforward application
of the MRU code. We provide an MRU-ordered list of packs
that shadows the packed_git list. This is easy to do because
we only create and revise the pack list in one place. The
"reprepare" code path actually drops the whole MRU and
replaces it for simplicity. It would be more efficient to
just add new entries, but there's not much point in
optimizing here; repreparing happens rarely, and only after
doing a lot of other expensive work.  The key things to keep
optimized are traversal (which is just a normal linked list,
albeit with one extra level of indirection over the regular
packed_git list), and marking (which is a constant number of
pointer assignments, though slightly more than the old
last_found_pack was; it doesn't seem to create a measurable
slowdown, though).

Jeff King 3157c880f6 sha1_file: drop free_pack_by_name
The point of this function is to drop an entry from the
"packed_git" cache that points to a file we might be
overwriting, because our contents may not be the same (and
hence the only caller was pack-objects as it moved a
temporary packfile into place).

In older versions of git, this could happen because the
names of packfiles were derived from the set of objects they
contained, not the actual bits on disk. But since 1190a1a
(pack-objects: name pack files after trailer hash,
2013-12-05), the name reflects the actual bits on disk, and
any two packfiles with the same name can be used
interchangeably.

Dropping this function not only saves a few lines of code,
it makes the lifetime of "struct packed_git" much easier to
reason about: namely, we now do not ever free these structs.

Vasco Almeida 1b8132d99d i18n: config: unfold error messages marked for translation
Introduced in 473166b ("config: add 'origin_type' to config_source
struct", 2016-02-19), Git can inform the user about the origin of a
config error, but the implementation does not allow translators to
translate the keywords 'file', 'blob, 'standard input', and
'submodule-blob'. Moreover, for the second message, a reason for the
error is appended to the message, not allowing translators to translate
that reason either.

Unfold the message into several templates for each known origin_type.
That would result in better translation at the expense of code
verbosity.

Add enum config_oringin_type to ease management of the various
configuration origin types (blob, file, etc).  Previously origin type
was considered from command line if cf->origin_type == NULL, i.e.,
uninitialized. Now we set origin_type to CONFIG_ORIGIN_CMDLINE in
git_config_from_parameters() and configset_add_value().

For error message in git_parse_source(), use xstrfmt() function to
prepare the message string, instead of doing something like it's done
for die_bad_number(), because intelligibility and code conciseness are
improved for that instance.

Jeff King 642833db78 date: add "unix" format
We already have "--date=raw", which is a Unix epoch
timestamp plus a contextual timezone (either the author's or
the local). But one may not care about the timezone and just
want the epoch timestamp by itself. It's not hard to parse
the two apart, but if you are using a pretty-print format,
you may want git to show the "finished" form that the user
will see.

We can accomodate this by adding a new date format, "unix",
which is basically "raw" without the timezone.

Junio C Hamano 1335d76e45 merge: avoid "safer crlf" during recording of merge results
When merge_recursive() decides what the correct blob object merge
result for a path should be, it uses update_file_flags() helper
function to write it out to a working tree file and then calls
add_cacheinfo().  The add_cacheinfo() function in turn calls
make_cache_entry() to create a new cache entry to replace the
higher-stage entries for the path that represents the conflict.

The make_cache_entry() function calls refresh_cache_entry() to fill
in the cached stat information.  To mark a cache entry as
up-to-date, the data is re-read from the file in the working tree,
and goes through convert_to_git() conversion to be compared with the
blob object name the new cache entry records.

It is important to note that this happens while the higher-stage
entries, which are going to be replaced with the new entry, are
still in the index.  Unfortunately, the convert_to_git() conversion
has a misguided "safer crlf" mechanism baked in, and looks at the
existing cache entry for the path to decide how to convert the
contents in the working tree file.  If our side (i.e. stage#2)
records a text blob with CRLF in it, even when the system is
configured to record LF in blobs and convert them to CRLF upon
checkout (and back to LF upon checkin), the "safer crlf" mechanism
stops us doing so.

This especially poses a problem during a renormalizing merge, where
the merge result for the path is computed by first "normalizing" the
blobs involved in the merge by using convert_to_working_tree()
followed by convert_to_git() with "safer crlf" disabled.  The merge
result that is computed correctly and fed to add_cacheinfo() via
update_file_flags() does _not_ match what refresh_cache_entry() sees
by converting the working tree file via convert_to_git().

We can work this around by not refreshing the new cache entry in
make_cache_entry() called by add_cacheinfo().  After add_cacheinfo()
adds the new entry, we can call refresh_cache_entry() on that,
knowing that addition of this new cache entry would have removed the
stale cache entries that had CRLF in stage #2 that were carried over
before the renormalizing merge started and will not interfere with
the correct recording of the result.

The test update was taken from a series by Torsten Bögershausen
that attempted to fix this with a different approach.

Jeff King e04d08a4b3 write_file: add format attribute
This gives us compile-time checking of our format strings,
which is a good thing.

I had also hoped it would help with confusing write_file()
and write_file_buf(), since the former's "..." can make it
match the signature of the latter. But given that the buffer
for write_file_buf() is generally not a string literal, the
compiler won't complain unless -Wformat-nonliteral is on,
and that creates a ton of false positives elsewhere in the
code base.

While we're there, let's also give the function a docstring,
which it never had.

Jeff King 52563d7ecc write_file: add pointer+len variant
There are many callsites which could use write_file, but for
which it is a little awkward because they have a strbuf or
other pointer/len combo. Specifically:

 1. write_file() takes a format string, so we have to use
    "%s" or "%.*s", which are ugly.

 2. Using any form of "%s" does not handle embedded NULs in
    the output. That probably doesn't matter for our
    call-sites, but it's nicer not to have to worry.

 3. It's less efficient; we format into another strbuf
    just to do the write. That's probably not measurably
    slow for our uses, but it's simply inelegant.

We can fix this by providing a helper to write out the
formatted buffer, and just calling it from write_file().

Note that we don't do the usual "complete with a newline"
that write_file does. If the caller has their own buffer,
there's a reasonable chance they're doing something more
complicated than a single line, and they can call
strbuf_complete_line() themselves.

We could go even further and add strbuf_write_file(), but it
doesn't save much:

  -  write_file_buf(path, sb.buf, sb.len);
  +  strbuf_write_file(&sb, path);

It would also be somewhat asymmetric with strbuf_read_file,
which actually returns errors rather than dying (and the
error handling is most of the benefit of write_file() in the
first place).

Although this can be done with a plumbing command

Jeff King 9acc591111 config: add a notion of "scope"
A config callback passed to git_config() doesn't know very
much about the context in which it sees a variable. It can
ask whether the variable comes from a file, and get the file
name. But without analyzing the filename (which is hard to
do accurately), it cannot tell whether it is in system-level
config, user-level config, or repo-specific config.

Generally this doesn't matter; the point of not passing this
to the callback is that it should treat the config the same
no matter where it comes from. But some programs, like
upload-pack, are a special case: we should be able to run
them in an untrusted repository, which means we cannot use
any "dangerous" config from the repository config file (but
it is OK to use it from system or user config).

This patch teaches the config code to record the "scope" of
each variable, and make it available inside config
callbacks, similar to how we give access to the filename.
The scope is the starting source for a particular parsing
operation, and remains the same even if we include other
files (so a .git/config which includes another file will
remain CONFIG_SCOPE_REPO, as it would be similarly
untrusted).

Jeff King 0d44a2dacc config: return configset value for current_config_ functions
When 473166b (config: add 'origin_type' to config_source
struct, 2016-02-19) added accessor functions for the origin
type and name, it taught them only to look at the "cf"
struct that is filled in while we are parsing the config.
This is sufficient to make it work with git-config, which
uses git_config_with_options() under the hood. That function
freshly parses the config files and triggers the callback
when it parses each key.

Most git programs, however, use git_config(). This interface
will populate a cache during the actual parse, and then
serve values from the cache. Calling current_config_filename()
in a callback here will find a NULL cf and produce an error.
There are no such callers right now, but let's prepare for
adding some by making this work.

We already record source information in a struct attached to
each value. We just need to make it globally available and
then consult it from the accessor functions.

Johannes Schindelin f30afdabbf mingw: introduce the 'core.hideDotFiles' setting
On Unix (and Linux), files and directories whose names start with a dot
are usually not shown by default. This convention is used by Git: the
.git/ directory should be left alone by regular users, and only accessed
through Git itself.

On Windows, no such convention exists. Instead, there is an explicit flag
to mark files or directories as hidden.

In the early days, Git for Windows did not mark the .git/ directory (or
for that matter, any file or directory whose name starts with a dot)
hidden. This lead to quite a bit of confusion, and even loss of data.

Consequently, Git for Windows introduced the core.hideDotFiles setting,
with three possible values: true, false, and dotGitOnly, defaulting to
marking only the .git/ directory as hidden.

The rationale: users do not need to access .git/ directly, and indeed (as
was demonstrated) should not really see that directory, either. However,
not all dot files should be hidden by default, as e.g. Eclipse does not
show them (and the user would therefore be unable to see, say, a
.gitattributes file).

In over five years since the last attempt to bring this patch into core
Git, a slightly buggy version of this patch has served Git for Windows'
users well: no single report indicated problems with the hidden .git/
directory, and the stream of problems caused by the previously non-hidden
.git/ directory simply stopped. The bugs have been fixed during the
process of getting this patch upstream.

Note that there is a funny quirk we have to pay attention to when
creating hidden files: we use Win32's _wopen() function which
transmogrifies its arguments and hands off to Win32's CreateFile()
function. That latter function errors out with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (the
equivalent of EACCES) when the equivalent of the O_CREAT flag was passed
and the file attributes (including the hidden flag) do not match an
existing file's. And _wopen() accepts no parameter that would be
transmogrified into said hidden flag. Therefore, we simply try again
without O_CREAT.

A slightly different method is required for our fopen()/freopen()
function as we cannot even *remove* the implicit O_CREAT flag.
Therefore, we briefly mark existing files as unhidden when opening them
via fopen()/freopen().

The ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error can also be triggered by opening a file
that is marked as a system file (which is unlikely to be tracked in
Git), and by trying to create a file that has *just* been deleted and is
awaiting the last open handles to be released (which would be handled
better by the "Try again?" logic, a story for a different patch series,
though). In both cases, it does not matter much if we try again without
the O_CREAT flag, read: it does not hurt, either.

For details how ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED can be triggered, see

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 867ad08a26 hooks: allow customizing where the hook directory is
Change the hardcoded lookup for .git/hooks/* to optionally lookup in
$(git config core.hooksPath)/* instead.

This is essentially a more intrusive version of the git-init ability to
specify hooks on init time via init templates.

The difference between that facility and this feature is that this can
be set up after the fact via e.g. ~/.gitconfig or /etc/gitconfig to
apply for all your personal repositories, or all repositories on the
system.

I plan on using this on a centralized Git server where users can create
arbitrary repositories under /gitroot, but I'd like to manage all the
hooks that should be run centrally via a unified dispatch mechanism.

$GIT_COMMON_DIR internally. However there are a few cases where we need
to construct paths manually, for example some paths from a specific
worktree. These functions will enable that.

Jeff King 652f18ee87 setup: unify repository version callbacks
Once upon a time, check_repository_format_gently would parse
the config with a single callback, and that callback would
set up a bunch of global variables. But now that we have
separate workdirs, we have to be more careful. Commit
31e26eb (setup.c: support multi-checkout repo setup,
2014-11-30) introduced a reduced callback which omits some
values like core.worktree. In the "main" callback we call
the reduced one, and then add back in the missing variables.

Now that we have split the config-parsing from the munging
of the global variables, we can do it all with a single
callback, and keep all of the "are we in a separate workdir"
logic together.

Jeff King 2cc7c2c737 setup: refactor repo format reading and verification
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.

It would be useful to control access to the global
shared_repository, so that we can lazily load its config.
The first step to doing so is to make sure all access
goes through a set of functions.

This step is purely mechanical, and should result in no
change of behavior.

Jeff King 46c3cd44d7 setup: make startup_info available everywhere
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. We _could_ turn startup_info into a regular
extern struct, but doing so would mean tweaking all of the
existing use sites. So let's leave the pointer indirection
in place.  We can, however, drop any checks for NULL, as
they will always be false (and likewise, we can drop the
test covering this case, which was a rather artificial
situation using one of the test-* programs).
