Tanay Abhra 3c8687a73e add `config_set` API for caching config-like files
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.

Junio C Hamano 648d9c1827 Merge branch 'mw/symlinks'
A finishing touch fix to a new change already in 'master'.

Martin Erik Werner 6127ff63cf setup: fix windows path buffer over-stepping
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.

Martin Erik Werner 655ee9ea3e setup: don't dereference in-tree symlinks for absolute paths
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.

Martin Erik Werner ddc2a62815 setup: add abspath_part_inside_repo() function
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'.

Jiang Xin 41894ae3a3 Use simpler relative_path when set_git_dir
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.

Jiang Xin e02ca72f70 path.c: refactor relative_path(), not only strip prefix
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

    (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 ".".

Jeff King 2cd83d10bb setup: suppress implicit "." work-tree for bare repos
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.

Jeff King a6f7f9a325 environment: add GIT_PREFIX to local_repo_env
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.

  Provide a mechanism to turn off symlink resolution in ceiling paths
2013-02-27 09:47:28 -08:00
Michael Haggerty 7ec30aaa5b Provide a mechanism to turn off symlink resolution in ceiling paths
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

> volumes).  Now when I’m not connected to the network, every
> invocation of Git, including the __git_ps1 in my shell prompt, waits
> for AFS to timeout.

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.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 4db86e8b6e Update :/abc ambiguity check
:/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.

Michael Haggerty 1b77d83cab setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks in ceiling paths
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.

Michael Haggerty 9e2326c7e1 longest_ancestor_length(): require prefix list entries to be normalized
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.

Matthieu Moy 023e37c377 verify_filename(): ask the caller to chose the kind of diagnosis
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'

Clemens Buchacher 2565b43bd2 properly keep track of current working directory
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.

Jeff King b3256eb8b3 standardize and improve lookup rules for external local repos
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.

Clemens Buchacher 8894d53580 commit: allow partial commits with relative paths
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.

A colon followed by anything !isalnum() (e.g. ":/heh") at this point is

Junio C Hamano 2e83b66c32 fix overslow :/no-such-string-ever-existed diagnostics
"git cmd :/no-such-string-ever-existed" runs an extra round of get_sha1()
since 009fee4 (Detailed diagnosis when parsing an object name fails.,
2009-12-07).  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.

On my box, the command spends ~1.8 seconds without the patch to make the
report; with the patch it spends ~1.12 seconds.

We may want to give the pathspec subsystem such a feature, but not while
we are still using get_pathspec() that returns a stupid "char **" that
loses subtle nuances that existed in the input string.

In the meantime, the callers of get_pathspec() that want to support it
could do an equivalent before feeding their argv[] to the function

Junio C Hamano 2f6c9760de magic pathspec: futureproof shorthand form
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 :".

Junio C Hamano 8a42c98501 magic pathspec: add tentative ":/path/from/top/level" pathspec support
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.

2011-02-09 16:41:16 -08:00
Jonathan Nieder 4868b2ea17 Subject: setup: officially support --work-tree without --git-dir
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.

This function is the most complex one among the three setup_*

Because core.worktree is only effective inside
setup_explicit_git_dir() and the extra code in setup_git_directory()
is to handle that. The extra code can now be retired.

Also note that setup_explicit assignment is removed, worktree setting

get_git_work_tree() takes input as core.worktree, core.bare,
GIT_WORK_TREE and decides correct worktree setting.

Unfortunately it does not do its job well. core.worktree and
GIT_WORK_TREE should only be taken into account, if GIT_DIR is set
(which is handled by setup_explicit_git_dir). 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.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy f07d6a1ad1 setup: save prefix (original cwd relative to toplevel) in startup_info
Save the path from the original cwd to the cwd at the end of the
setup procedure in the startup_info struct introduced in e37c1329
(2010-08-05).  The value cannot vary from thread to thread anyway,
since the cwd is global.

So now in your builtin command, instead of passing prefix around,
when you want to convert a user-supplied path to a cwd-relative
path, you can use startup_info->prefix directly.

Caveat: As with the return value from setup_git_directory_gently(),
startup_info->prefix would be NULL when the original cwd is not a
subdir of the toplevel.

Longer term, this would allow the prefix to be reused when several
noncooperating functions require access to the same repository (for
example, when accessing configuration before running a builtin).

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy a60645f9c5 setup: remember whether repository was found
As v1.7.2~16^2 (git --paginate: paginate external commands
again, 2010-07-14) explains, builtins (like git config) that
do not use RUN_SETUP are not finding GIT_DIR set correctly when
it is time to launch the pager from run_builtin().  If they
were to search for a repository sooner, then the outcome of such
early repository accesses would be more predictable and reliable.

The cmd_*() functions learn whether a repository was found through the
*nongit_ok return value from setup_git_directory_gently().  If
run_builtin() is to take care of the repository search itself, that
datum needs to be retrievable from somewhere else.  Use the
startup_info struct for this.

As a bonus, this information becomes available to functions such as
git_config() which might want to avoid trying to access a repository
when none is present.

which is too large for a 32-bit int type.

Using the correct type, dev_t, solves the issue.  (Because I'm
paranoid and forgetful, I checked -- yes, Unix v7 had dev_t.)

Other uses of st_dev seem to be reasonably safe.   fill_stat_cache_info
truncates it to an 'unsigned int', but that value seems to be used only

If a missing ONE_FILESYSTEM defaults to true, the only users who set this
variable set it to false to tell git not to limit the discovery to one
filesystem; there are too many negations in one sentence to make a simple
panda brain dizzy.

Use the variable GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM that changes the
behaviour from the default "limit to one filesystem" to "cross the
boundary as I ask you to"; makes the semantics much more straight
forward.

Junio C Hamano e640551773 GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM: flip the default to stop at filesystem boundaries
Regarding the new environment variable, Linus Torvalds
<torvalds@linux-foundation.org> writes on Tue, 30 Mar 2010 in
<alpine.LFD.2.00.1003301537150.3707@i5.linux-foundation.org>:

    I suspect that it is _very_ unusual to have a source repo that crosses
    multiple filesystems, and the original reason for this patch-series
    seems to me to be likely to be more common than that multi-fs case. So
    having the logic go the other way would seem to match the common case,
    no?

The "crossing filesystem boundary" condition is checked by comparing
st_dev field in the result from stat(2).  This is slightly worrysome if
non-POSIX ports return different values in the field even for directories
in the same work tree extracted to the same "filesystem".  Erik Faye-Lund
confirms that in the msysgit port st_dev is 0, so this should be safe, as
"even Windows is safe" ;-)

This will affect those who use /.git to cram /etc and /home/me in the same
repostiory, /home is mounted from non-root filesystem, and a git operation
is done from inside /home/me/src.  But that is such a corner case we don't
want to give preference over helping people who will benefit from having
this default so that they do not have to suffer from slow automounters.

Lars R. Damerow 8030e44215 Add support for GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM
This patch makes git pay attention to the GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM environment
variable. When that variable is set, git will stop searching for a
GIT_DIR when it attempts to cross a filesystem boundary.

When working in an environment with too many automount points to make
maintaining a GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list enjoyable, GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM
gives the option of turning all such attempts off with one setting.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 72ec8ba6dd Support working directory located at root
Git should work regardless where the working directory is located,
even at root. This patch fixes two places where it assumes working
directory always have parent directory.

In setup_git_directory_gently(), when Git goes up to root and finds
.git there, it happily sets worktree to "" instead of "/".

In prefix_path(), loosen the outside repo check a little bit. Usually
when a path XXX is inside worktree /foo, it must be either "/foo", or
"/foo/...". When worktree is simply "/", we can safely ignore the
check: we have a slash at the beginning already.

Not related to worktree, but also set gitdir correctly if a bare repo
is placed (insanely?) at root.

Thanks João Carlos Mendes Luís for pointing out this problem.

René Scharfe 717c3972da setenv(GIT_DIR) clean-up
This patch converts the setenv() calls in path.c and setup.c.  After
the call, git grep with a pager works again in bare repos.

It leaves the setenv(GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT, ...) calls in git.c alone, as
they respond to command line switches that emulate the effect of setting
the environment variable directly.

The remaining site in environment.c is in set_git_dir() and is left
alone, too, of course.  Finally, builtin-init-db.c is left changed
because the repo is still being carefully constructed when the
environment variable is set.

This fixes git shortlog when run inside a git directory, which had been
broken by abe549e1.

This change allows update-index to recognize a submodule that uses a relative

Junio C Hamano 5a688fe470 "core.sharedrepository = 0mode" should set, not loosen
This fixes the behaviour of octal notation to how it is defined in the
documentation, while keeping the traditional "loosen only" semantics
intact for "group" and "everybody".

Three main points of this patch are:

 - For an explicit octal notation, the internal shared_repository variable
   is set to a negative value, so that we can tell "group" (which is to
   "OR" in 0660) and 0660 (which is to "SET" to 0660);

 - git-init did not set shared_repository variable early enough to affect
   the initial creation of many files, notably copied templates and the
   configuration.  We set it very early when a command-line option
   specifies a custom value.

 - Many codepaths create files inside $GIT_DIR by various ways that all
   involve mkstemp(), and then call move_temp_to_file() to rename it to
   its final destination.  We can add adjust_shared_perm() call here; for
   the traditional "loosen-only", this would be a no-op for many codepaths
   because the mode is already loose enough, but with the new behaviour it
   makes a difference.

SZEDER Gábor 72183cb297 Fix gitdir detection when in subdir of gitdir
If the current working directory is a subdirectory of the gitdir (e.g.
<repo>/.git/refs/), then setup_git_directory_gently() will climb its
parent directories until it finds itself in a gitdir.  However, no
matter how many parent directories it climbs, it sets
'GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT' to ".", which is obviously wrong.

This behaviour affected at least 'git rev-parse --git-dir' and hence
caused some errors in bash completion (e.g. customized command prompt
when on a detached head and completion of refs).

To fix this, we set the absolute path of the found gitdir instead.

GIT's guts work with a forward slash as a path separators. We do not change
that. Rather we make sure that only "normalized" paths enter the depths
of the machinery.

We have to translate backslashes to forward slashes in the prefix and in
command line arguments. Fortunately, all of them are passed through
functions in setup.c.

A macro has_dos_drive_path() is defined that checks whether a path begins
with a drive letter+colon combination. This predicate is always false on
Unix. Another macro is_dir_sep() abstracts that a backslash is also a
directory separator on Windows.

Linus Torvalds 044bbbcb63 Make git_dir a path relative to work_tree in setup_work_tree()
Once we find the absolute paths for git_dir and work_tree, we can make
git_dir a relative path since we know pwd will be work_tree. This should
save the kernel some time traversing the path to work_tree all the time
if git_dir is inside work_tree.

Daniel's patch didn't apply for me as-is, so I recreated it with some
differences, and here are the numbers from ten runs each.

There is some IO for me - probably due to more-or-less random flushing of
the journal - so the variation is bigger than I'd like, but whatever:

	Before:
		real    0m8.135s
		real    0m7.933s
		real    0m8.080s
		real    0m7.954s
		real    0m7.949s
		real    0m8.112s
		real    0m7.934s
		real    0m8.059s
		real    0m7.979s
		real    0m8.038s

	After:
		real    0m7.685s
		real    0m7.968s
		real    0m7.703s
		real    0m7.850s
		real    0m7.995s
		real    0m7.817s
		real    0m7.963s
		real    0m7.955s
		real    0m7.848s
		real    0m7.969s

Now, going by "best of ten" (on the assumption that the longer numbers
are all due to IO), I'm saying a 7.933s -> 7.685s reduction, and it does
seem to be outside of the noise (ie the "after" case never broke 8s, while
the "before" case did so half the time).

So looks like about 3% to me.

Doing it for a slightly smaller test-case (just the "arch" subdirectory)
gets more stable numbers probably due to not filling the journal with
metadata updates, so we have:

	Before:
		real    0m1.633s
		real    0m1.633s
		real    0m1.633s
		real    0m1.632s
		real    0m1.632s
		real    0m1.630s
		real    0m1.634s
		real    0m1.631s
		real    0m1.632s
		real    0m1.632s

	After:
		real    0m1.610s
		real    0m1.609s
		real    0m1.610s
		real    0m1.608s
		real    0m1.607s
		real    0m1.610s
		real    0m1.609s
		real    0m1.611s
		real    0m1.608s
		real    0m1.611s

where I'ld just take the averages and say 1.632 vs 1.610, which is just
over 1% peformance improvement.

So it's not in the noise, but it's not as big as I initially thought and
measured.

(That said, it obviously depends on how deep the working directory path is
too, and whether it is behind NFS or something else that might need to
cause more work to look up).

Lars Hjemli b44ebb19e3 Add platform-independent .git "symlink"
This patch allows .git to be a regular textfile containing the path of
the real git directory (prefixed with "gitdir: "), which can be useful on
platforms lacking support for real symlinks.

SZEDER Gábor af05d67939 Always set *nongit_ok in setup_git_directory_gently()
setup_git_directory_gently() only modified the value of its *nongit_ok
argument if we were not in a git repository.  Now it will always set it
to 0 when we are inside a repository.

Also remove now unnecessary initializations in the callers of this
function.

Junio C Hamano 3296766eb5 get_pathspec(): die when an out-of-tree path is given
An earlier commit d089ebaa (setup: sanitize absolute and funny paths) made
get_pathspec() aware of absolute paths, but with a botched interface that
forced the callers to count the resulting pathspecs in order to detect
an error of giving a path that is outside the work tree.

This fixes it, by dying inside the function.

We had ls-tree test that relied on a misfeature in the original
implementation of its pathspec handling.  Leading slashes were silently
removed from them.  However we allow giving absolute pathnames (people
want to cut and paste from elsewhere) that are inside work tree these
days, so a pathspec that begin with slash _should_ be treated as a full
path.  The test is adjusted to match the updated rule for get_pathspec().

Earlier I mistook three tests given by Robin that they should succeed, but
these are attempts to add path outside work tree, which should fail
loudly.  These tests also have been fixed.

Jim Meyering 8e0f70033b Avoid unnecessary "if-before-free" tests.
This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests.
E.g., it replaces code like this:

        if (some_expression)
                free (some_expression);

with the now-equivalent:

        free (some_expression);

It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL)
to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for
so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test.
Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago:

    http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html

FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following:

  git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \
  perl -0x3b -pi -e \
    's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s'

Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like
"if (x) { free (x); }".  But that's ok, since there were none like
that in git sources.

Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can
produce syntactically invalid C code.  That happens when the
affected "if"-statement has a matching "else".
E.g., it would transform this

  if (x)
    free (x);
  else
    foo ();

into this:

  free (x);
  else
    foo ();

There were none of those here, either.

If you're interested in automating detection of the useless
tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib:
[it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S
 option to make it detect free-like functions with different names]

  http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=build-aux/useless-if-before-free

Addendum:
  Remove one more (in imap-send.c), spotted by Jean-Luc Herren <jlh@gmx.ch>.
