An failure early in the "git clone" that started creating the
working tree and repository could have resulted in some directories
and files left without getting cleaned up.
* jk/cleanup-failed-clone:
clone: drop period from end of die_errno message
clone: initialize atexit cleanup handler earlier
|
|
We do not usually end our errors with a full stop, but it
looks especially bad when you use die_errno, which adds a
colon, like:
fatal: could not create work tree dir 'foo'.: No such file or directory

If clone fails, we generally try to clean up any directories
we've created. We do this by installing an atexit handler,
so that we don't have to manually trigger cleanup. However,
since we install this after touching the filesystem, any
errors between our initial mkdir() and our atexit() call
will result in us leaving a crufty directory around.
We can fix this by moving our atexit() call earlier. It's OK
to do it before the junk_work_tree variable is set, because
remove_junk makes sure the variable is initialized. This
means we "activate" the handler by assigning to the
junk_work_tree variable, which we now bump down to just
after we call mkdir(). We probably do not want to do it
before, because a plausible reason for mkdir() to fail is
EEXIST (i.e., we are racing with another "git init"), and we
would not want to remove their work.
OTOH, this is probably not that big a deal; we will allow
cloning into an empty directory (and skip the mkdir), which
is already racy (i.e., one clone may see the other's empty
dir and start writing into it). Still, it does not hurt to
err on the side of caution here.
Note that writing into junk_work_tree and junk_git_dir after
installing the handler is also technically racy, as we call
our handler on an async signal. Depending on the platform,
we could see a sheared write to the variables. Traditionally
we have not worried about this, and indeed we already do
this later in the function. If we want to address that, it
can come as a separate topic.

end users and a lot easier for translators. Changes include:
- Placing angle brackets around fill-in-the-blank parameters
- Putting dashes in multiword parameter names
- Adding spaces to [-f|--foobar] to make [-f | --foobar]

index-pack: fix compilation with NO_PTHREADS
|

Wrap atexit()s calls on unthreaded builds to handle callback list
internally.
This is needed because on unthreaded builds, asyncs inherits parent's
atexit() list, that gets run as soon as the async exit()s (and again at
the end of async's parent process). That led to remove temporary files
too early.
Also remove a by-atexit-callback guard against this kind of issue in
clone.c, as this patch makes it redundant.
Fixes test 5537 (temporary shallow file vanished before unpack-objects
could open it)
BTW remove an unused variable in shallow.c.

While use of the --reference option to borrow objects from an
existing local repository of the same project is an effective way to
reduce traffic when cloning a project over the network, it makes the
resulting "borrowing" repository dependent on the "borrowed"
repository. After running
git clone --reference=P $URL Q
the resulting repository Q will be broken if the borrowed repository
P disappears.
The way to allow the borrowed repository to be removed is to repack
the borrowing repository (i.e. run "git repack -a -d" in Q); while
power users may know it very well, it is not easily discoverable.
Teach a new "--dissociate" option to "git clone" to run this
repacking for the user.

resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref
resolves successfully for writing but not for reading). Change this to be
a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when
we want this behaviour.
While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output
arguments at the end. As a nice side effect, this ensures that we can
catch callers that were unaware of the new API so they can be audited.
Give the wrapper functions resolve_refdup and read_ref_full the same
treatment for consistency.

The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content
past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While
this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use
for two reasons:
1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string
as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable.
For example:
tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo");
if (tmp)
buf = tmp;
2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as
you need extra parentheses to silence compiler
warnings. For example:
if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"))
/* do something with cp */
Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and
we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line
of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past
the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra
strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but
means we are repeating ourselves).
This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean,
and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the
prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This
lets you write:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg))
do_foo(arg);
else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg))
do_bar(arg);

clone_local() does not handle $SRC/shallow. It could be made so, but
it's simpler to use fetch-pack/upload-pack instead.
This used to be caught by the check in upload-pack, which is triggered
by transport_get_remote_refs(), even in local clone case. The check is
now gone and check_everything_connected() should catch the result
incomplete repo. But check_everything_connected() will soon be skipped
in local clone case, opening a door to corrupt repo. This patch should
close that door.

Cloning from a shallow repository does not follow the "8 steps for new
.git/shallow" because if it does we need to get through step 6 for all
refs. That means commit walking down to the bottom.
Instead the rule to create .git/shallow is simpler and, more
importantly, cheap: if a shallow commit is found in the pack, it's
probably used (i.e. reachable from some refs), so we add it. Others
are dropped.
One may notice this method seems flawed by the word "probably". A
shallow commit may not be reachable from any refs at all if it's
attached to an object island (a group of objects that are not
reachable by any refs).
If that object island is not complete, a new fetch request may send
more objects to connect it to some ref. At that time, because we
incorrectly installed the shallow commit in this island, the user will
not see anything after that commit (fsck is still ok). This is not
desired.
Given that object islands are rare (C Git never sends such islands for
security reasons) and do not really harm the repository integrity, a
tradeoff is made to surprise the user occasionally but work faster
everyday.
A new option --strict could be added later that follows exactly the 8
steps. "git prune" can also learn to remove dangling objects _and_ the
shallow commits that are attached to them from .git/shallow.

A clone will always create a transport struct, whether we
are cloning locally or using an actual protocol. In the
local case, we only use the transport to get the list of
refs, and then transfer the objects out-of-band.
However, there are many options that we do not bother
setting up in the local case. For the most part, these are
noops, because they only affect the object-fetching stage
(e.g., the --depth option). However, some options do have a
visible impact. For example, giving the path to upload-pack
via "-u" does not currently work for a local clone, even
though we need upload-pack to get the ref list.
We can just drop the conditional entirely and set these
options for both local and non-local clones. Rather than
keep track of which options impact the object versus the ref
fetching stage, we can simply let the noops be noops (and
the cost of setting the options in the first place is not
high).
The one exception is that we also check that the transport
provides both a "get_refs_list" and a "fetch" method. We
will now be checking the former for both cases (which is
good, since a transport that cannot fetch refs would not
work for a local clone), and we tweak the conditional to
check for a "fetch" only when we are non-local.

When stderr does not point to a tty, we typically suppress
"we are now in this phase" progress reporting (e.g., we ask
the server not to send us "counting objects" and the like).
The new "checking connectivity" message is in the same vein,
and should be suppressed. Since clone relies on the
transport code to make the decision, we can simply sneak a
peek at the "progress" field of the transport struct. That
properly takes into account both the verbosity and progress
options we were given, as well as the result of isatty().
Note that we do not set up that progress flag for a local
clone, as we do not fetch using the transport at all. That's
acceptable here, though, because we also do not perform a
connectivity check in that case.

Putting messages like "Cloning into.." and "done" on stdout
is un-Unix and uselessly clutters the stdout channel. Send
them to stderr.
We have to tweak two tests to accommodate this:
1. t5601 checks for doubled output due to forking, and
doesn't actually care where the output goes; adjust it
to check stderr.
2. t5702 is trying to test whether progress output was
sent to stderr, but naively does so by checking
whether stderr produced any output. Instead, have it
look for "%", a token found in progress output but not
elsewhere (and which lets us avoid hard-coding the
progress text in the test).
This should not regress any scripts that try to parse the
current output, as the output is already internationalized
and therefore unstable.

As of b04ba2bb4 OPTION_BOOLEAN was deprecated.
This commit removes all occurrences of OPTION_BOOLEAN.
In b04ba2bb4 Junio suggested to replace it with either
OPTION_SET_INT or OPTION_COUNTUP instead. However a pattern, which
occurred often with the OPTION_BOOLEAN was a hidden boolean parameter.
So I defined OPT_HIDDEN_BOOL as an additional possible parse option
in parse-options.h to make life easy.
The OPT_HIDDEN_BOOL was used in checkout, clone, commit, show-ref.
The only exception, where there was need to fiddle with OPTION_SET_INT
was log and notes. However in these two files there is also a pattern,
so we could think of introducing OPT_NONEG_BOOL.

"git clone -s/-l" is a filesystem level copy and does not offer any
protection against source repository being corrupt. While the
connectivity validation checks commits and trees being readable, it
made the otherwise instantaneous local modes of clone much more
expensive, without protecting blob data from bitflips.
* jk/maint-clone-shared-no-connectivity-validation:
clone: drop connectivity check for local clones
|
|
* ms/remote-tracking-branches-in-doc:
Change "remote tracking" to "remote-tracking"
|
|
Commit 0433ad1 (clone: run check_everything_connected,
2013-03-25) added the same connectivity check to clone that
we use for fetching. The intent was to provide enough safety
checks that "git clone git://..." could be counted on to
detect bit errors and other repo corruption, and not
silently propagate them to the clone.
For local clones, this turns out to be a bad idea, for two
reasons:
1. Local clones use hard linking (or even shared object
stores), and so complete far more quickly. The time
spent on the connectivity check is therefore
proportionally much more painful.
2. Local clones do not actually meet our safety guarantee
anyway. The connectivity check makes sure we have all
of the objects we claim to, but it does not check for
bit errors. We will notice bit errors in commits and
trees, but we do not load blob objects at all. Whereas
over the pack transport, we actually recompute the sha1
of each object in the incoming packfile; bit errors
change the sha1 of the object, which is then caught by
the connectivity check.
This patch drops the connectivity check in the local case.
Note that we have to revert the changes from 0433ad1 to
t5710, as we no longer notice the corruption during clone.
We could go a step further and provide a "verify even local
clones" option, but it is probably not worthwhile. You can
already spell that as "cd foo.git && git fsck && git clone ."
or as "git clone --no-local foo.git".

In order to make sure the cloned repository is good, we run "rev-list
--objects --not --all $new_refs" on the repository. This is expensive
on large repositories. This patch attempts to mitigate the impact in
this special case.
In the "good" clone case, we only have one pack. If all of the
following are met, we can be sure that all objects reachable from the
new refs exist, which is the intention of running "rev-list ...":
- all refs point to an object in the pack
- there are no dangling pointers in any object in the pack
- no objects in the pack point to objects outside the pack
The second and third checks can be done with the help of index-pack as
a slight variation of --strict check (which introduces a new condition
for the shortcut: pack transfer must be used and the number of objects
large enough to call index-pack). The first is checked in
check_everything_connected after we get an "ok" from index-pack.
"index-pack + new checks" is still faster than the current "index-pack
+ rev-list", which is the whole point of this patch. If any of the
conditions fail, we fall back to the good old but expensive "rev-list
..". In that case it's even more expensive because we have to pay for
the new checks in index-pack. But that should only happen when the
other side is either buggy or malicious.

This shortcut is not applied to shallow clones, partly because shallow
clones should have no more objects than a usual fetch and the cost of
rev-list is acceptable, partly to avoid dealing with corner cases when
grafting is involved.
This shortcut does not apply to unpack-objects code path either
because the number of objects must be small in order to trigger that
code path.

check_everything_connected could take a long time, especially in the
clone case where the whole DAG is traversed. The user deserves to know
what's going on.

Usually "foo:bar" is interpreted as an ssh url. This patch allows to
clone from such paths by putting at least one slash before the colon
(i.e. /path/to/foo:bar or just ./foo:bar).
file://foo:bar should also work, but local optimizations are off in
that case, which may be unwanted. While at there, warn the users about
--local being ignored in this case.
