Junio C Hamano 9a49059022 sha1_object_info_extended(): expose a bit more info
The original interface for sha1_object_info() takes an object name and
gives back a type and its size (the latter is given only when it was
asked).  The new interface wraps its implementation and exposes a bit
more pieces of information that the interface used to discard, namely:

 - where the object is stored (loose? cached? packed?)
 - if packed, where in which packfile?

 * In the earlier round, this used u.pack.delta to record the length of
   the delta chain, but the caller is not necessarily interested in the
   length of the delta chain per-se, but may only want to know if it is a
   delta against another object or is stored as a deflated data. Calling
   packed_object_info_detail() involves walking the reverse index chain to
   compute the store size of the object and is unnecessarily expensive.

   We could resurrect the code if a new caller wants to know, but I doubt
   it.

Junio C Hamano 5bf29b9500 read_sha1_file(): allow selective bypassing of replacement mechanism
The way "object replacement" mechanism was tucked to the read_sha1_file()
interface was suboptimal in a couple of ways:

 - Callers that want it to die with useful diagnosis upon seeing a corrupt
   object does not have a way to say that they do not want any object
   replacement.

 - Callers who do not want it to die but want to handle the errors
   themselves are told to arrange to call read_object(), but the function
   does not use the replacement mechanism, and also it is a file scope
   static function that not many callers can call to begin with.

This adds a read_sha1_file_extended() that takes a set of flags; the
callers of read_sha1_file() passes a flag READ_SHA1_FILE_REPLACE to ask
for object replacement mechanism to kick in.

Later, we could add another flag bit to tell the function to return an
error instead of dying and then remove the misguided "call read_object()
yourself".

Junio C Hamano e1111cef23 inline lookup_replace_object() calls
In a repository without object replacement, lookup_replace_object() should
be a no-op. Check the flag "read_replace_refs" on the side of the caller,
and bypess a function call when we know we are not dealing with replacement.

Also, even when we are set up to replace objects, if we do not find any
replacement defined, flip that flag off to avoid function call overhead
for all the later object accesses.

As this change the semantics of the flag from "do we need read the
replacement definition?" to "do we need to check with the lookup table?"
the flag needs to be renamed later to something saner, e.g. "use_replace",
when the codebase is calmer, but not now.

Junio C Hamano 4bbf5a2615 read_sha1_file(): get rid of read_sha1_file_repl() madness
Most callers want to silently get a replacement object, and they do not
care what the real name of the replacement object is.  Worse yet, no sane
interface to return the underlying object without replacement is provided.

Remove the function and make only the few callers that want the name of
the replacement object find it themselves.

Junio C Hamano ec70f52f6f convert: rename the "eol" global variable to "core_eol"
Yes, it is clear that "eol" wants to mean some sort of end-of-line thing,
but as the name of a global variable, it is way too short to describe what
kind of end-of-line thing it wants to represent. Besides, there are many
codepaths that want to use their own local "char *eol" variable to point
at the end of the current line they are processing.

This global variable holds what we read from core.eol configuration
variable. Name it as such.

2011-03-26 20:13:16 -07:00
Junio C Hamano 90a6464b4a rerere: make sure it works even in a workdir attached to a young repository
The git-new-workdir script in contrib/ makes a new work tree by sharing
many subdirectories of the .git directory with the original repository.
When rerere.enabled is set in the original repository, but the user has
not encountered any conflicts yet, the original repository may not yet
have .git/rr-cache directory.

When rerere wants to run in a new work tree created from such a young
original repository, it fails to mkdir(2) .git/rr-cache that is a symlink
to a yet-to-be-created directory.

There are three possible approaches to this:

 - A naive solution is not to create a symlink in the git-new-workdir
   script to a directory the original does not have (yet).  This is not a
   solution, as we tend to lazily create subdirectories of .git/, and
   having rerere.enabled configuration set is a strong indication that the
   user _wants_ to have this lazy creation to happen;

 - We could always create .git/rr-cache upon repository creation.  This is
   tempting but will not help people with existing repositories.

 - Detect this case by seeing that mkdir(2) failed with EEXIST, checking
   that the path is a symlink, and try running mkdir(2) on the link
   target.

This patch solves the issue by doing the third one.

Strictly speaking, this is incomplete.  It does not attempt to handle
relative symbolic link that points into the original repository, but this
is good enough to help people who use contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir
script.

Linus Torvalds dce9648916 Make the default abbrev length configurable
The default of 7 comes from fairly early in git development, when
seven hex digits was a lot (it covers about 250+ million hash
values). Back then I thought that 65k revisions was a lot (it was what
we were about to hit in BK), and each revision tends to be about 5-10
new objects or so, so a million objects was a big number.

These days, the kernel isn't even the largest git project, and even
the kernel has about 220k revisions (_much_ bigger than the BK tree
ever was) and we are approaching two million objects. At that point,
seven hex digits is still unique for a lot of them, but when we're
talking about just two orders of magnitude difference between number
of objects and the hash size, there _will_ be collisions in truncated
hash values. It's no longer even close to unrealistic - it happens all
the time.

We should both increase the default abbrev that was unrealistically
small, _and_ add a way for people to set their own default per-project
in the git config file.

This is the first step to first make it configurable; the default of 7
is not raised yet.

Jeff King bbc30f9963 add packet tracing debug code
This shows a trace of all packets coming in or out of a given
program. This can help with debugging object negotiation or
other protocol issues.

To keep the code changes simple, we operate at the lowest
level, meaning we don't necessarily understand what's in the
packets. The one exception is a packet starting with "PACK",
which causes us to skip that packet and turn off tracing
(since the gigantic pack data will not be interesting to
read, at least not in the trace format).

We show both written and read packets. In the local case,
this may mean you will see packets twice (written by the
sender and read by the receiver). However, for cases where
the other end is remote, this allows you to see the full
conversation.

Packet tracing can be enabled with GIT_TRACE_PACKET=<foo>,
where <foo> takes the same arguments as GIT_TRACE.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 6578483036 i18n: add no-op _() and N_() wrappers
The _ function is for translating strings into the user's chosen
language.  The N_ macro just marks translatable strings for the
xgettext(1) tool without translating them; it is intended for use in
contexts where a function call cannot be used.  So, for example:

	fprintf(stderr, _("Expansion of alias '%s' failed; "
		"'%s' is not a git command\n"),
		cmd, argv[0]);

and

	const char *unpack_plumbing_errors[NB_UNPACK_TREES_ERROR_TYPES] = {
		/* ERROR_WOULD_OVERWRITE */
		N_("Entry '%s' would be overwritten by merge. Cannot merge."),
	[...]

Define such _ and N_ in a new gettext.h and include it in cache.h, so
they can be used everywhere.  Each just returns its argument for now.
_ is a function rather than a macro like N_ to avoid the temptation to
use _("foo") as a string literal (which would be a compile-time error
once _(s) expands to an expression for the translation of s).

Libor Pechacek b09c53a3e3 Sanity-check config variable names
Sanity-check config variable names when adding and retrieving them.  As a side
effect code duplication between git_config_set_multivar and get_value (in
builtin/config.c) was removed and the common functionality was placed in
git_config_parse_key.

This breaks a test in t1300 which used invalid section-less keys in the tests
for "git -c". However, allowing such names there was useless, since there was
no way to set them via config file, and no part of git actually tried to use
section-less keys. This patch updates the test to use more realistic examples
as well as adding its own test.

Johan Herland 53c403116a push.default: Rename 'tracking' to 'upstream'
Users are sometimes confused with two different types of "tracking" behavior
in Git: "remote-tracking" branches (e.g. refs/remotes/*/*) versus the
merge/rebase relationship between a local branch and its @{upstream}
(controlled by branch.foo.remote and branch.foo.merge config settings).

When the push.default is set to 'tracking', it specifies that a branch should
be pushed to its @{upstream} branch. In other words, setting push.default to
'tracking' applies only to the latter of the above two types of "tracking"
behavior.

In order to make this more understandable to the user, we rename the
push.default == 'tracking' option to push.default == 'upstream'.

push.default == 'tracking' is left as a deprecated synonym for 'upstream'.
