2018-03-01commit: run git gc --auto just before the post-commit hookÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Change the behavior of git-commit back to what it was back in d4bb43ee27 ("Invoke "git gc --auto" from commit, merge, am and rebase.", 2007-09-05) when it was git-commit.sh. Shortly afterwards in f5bbc3225c ("Port git commit to C.", 2007-11-08) when it was ported to C, the "git gc --auto" invocation went away. Since that unintended regression, git gc --auto only ran for git-am, git-merge, git-fetch, and git-receive-pack. It was possible to write a script that would "git commit" a lot of data locally, and gc would never run. One such repository that was locally committing generated zone file changes had grown to a size of ~60GB before a daily cronjob was added to "git gc", bringing it down to less than 1GB. This will make such cases work without intervention. I think fixing such pathological cases where the repository will grow forever is a worthwhile trade-off for spending a couple of milliseconds calling "git gc --auto" (in the common cases where it doesn't do anything).

2017-12-22commit: add support for --fixup <commit> -m"<extra message>"Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Add support for supplying the -m option with --fixup. Doing so has errored out ever since --fixup was introduced. Before this, the only way to amend the fixup message while committing was to use --edit and amend it in the editor. The use-case for this feature is one of: * Leaving a quick note to self when creating a --fixup commit when it's not self-evident why the commit should be squashed without a note into another one. * (Ab)using the --fixup feature to "fix up" commits that have already been pushed to a branch that doesn't allow non-fast-forwards, i.e. just noting "this should have been part of that other commit", and if the history ever got rewritten in the future the two should be combined. In such a case you might want to leave a small message, e.g. "forgot this part, which broke XYZ". With this, --fixup <commit> -m"More" -m"Details" will result in a commit message like: !fixup <subject of <commit>> More Details The reason the test being added here seems to squash "More" at the end of the subject line of the commit being fixed up is because the test code is using "%s%b" so the body immediately follows the subject, it's not a bug in this code, and other tests t7500-commit.sh do the same thing. When the --fixup option was initially added the "Option -m cannot be combined" error was expanded from -c, -C and -F to also include --fixup[1] Those options could also support combining with -m, but given what they do I can't think of a good use-case for doing that, so I have not made the more invasive change of splitting up the logic in commit.c to first act on those, and then on -m options. 1. d71b8ba7c9 ("commit: --fixup option for use with rebase --autosquash", 2010-11-02) Helped-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-11-24commit: move print_commit_summary() to libgitPhillip Wood
Move print_commit_summary() from builtin/commit.c to sequencer.c so it can be shared with other commands. The function is modified by changing the last argument to a flag so callers can specify whether they want to show the author date in addition to specifying if this is an initial commit. If the sequencer dies in print_commit_summary() (which can only happen when cherry-picking or reverting) then neither the todo list nor the abort safety file are updated to reflect the commit that was just made. print_commit_summary() can die if: - The commit that was just created cannot be found or parsed. - HEAD cannot be resolved either because some other process is updating it (which is bad news in the middle of a cherry-pick) or because it is corrupt. - log_tree_commit() cannot read some objects. In all those cases dying will leave the sequencer in a sane state for aborting; 'git cherry-pick --abort' will rewind HEAD to the last successful commit before there was a problem with HEAD or the object database. If the user somehow fixes the problem and runs 'git cherry-pick --continue' then the sequencer will try and pick the same commit again which may or may not be what the user wants depending on what caused print_commit_summary() to die. If print_commit_summary() returned an error instead then update_abort_safety_file() would try to resolve HEAD which may or may not be successful. If it is successful then running 'git rebase --abort' would not rewind HEAD to the last successful commit which is not what we want.

2017-10-31status: add option to show ignored files differentlyJameson Miller
Teach the status command more flexibility in how ignored files are reported. Currently, the reporting of ignored files and untracked files are linked. You cannot control how ignored files are reported independently of how untracked files are reported (i.e. `all` vs `normal`). This makes it impossible to show untracked files with the `all` option, but show ignored files with the `normal` option. This work 1) adds the ability to control the reporting of ignored files independently of untracked files and 2) introduces the concept of status reporting ignored paths that explicitly match an ignored pattern. There are 2 benefits to these changes: 1) if a consumer needs all untracked files but not all ignored files, there is a performance benefit to not scanning all contents of an ignored directory and 2) returning ignored files that explicitly match a path allow a consumer to make more informed decisions about when a status result might be stale. This commit implements --ignored=matching with --untracked-files=all. The following commit will implement --ignored=matching with --untracked=files=normal. As an example of where this flexibility could be useful is that our application (Visual Studio) runs the status command and presents the output. It shows all untracked files individually (e.g. using the '--untracked-files==all' option), and would like to know about which paths are ignored. It uses information about ignored paths to make decisions about when the status result might have changed. Additionally, many projects place build output into directories inside a repository's working directory (e.g. in "bin/" and "obj/" directories). Normal usage is to explicitly ignore these 2 directory names in the .gitignore file (rather than or in addition to the *.obj pattern).If an application could know that these directories are explicitly ignored, it could infer that all contents are ignored as well and make better informed decisions about files in these directories. It could infer that any changes under these paths would not affect the output of status. Additionally, there can be a significant performance benefit by avoiding scanning through ignored directories. When status is set to report matching ignored files, it has the following behavior. Ignored files and directories that explicitly match an exclude pattern are reported. If an ignored directory matches an exclude pattern, then the path of the directory is returned. If a directory does not match an exclude pattern, but all of its contents are ignored, then the contained files are reported instead of the directory.

2017-10-07read-cache: drop explicit `CLOSE_LOCK`-flagMartin Ågren
`write_locked_index()` takes two flags: `COMMIT_LOCK` and `CLOSE_LOCK`. At most one is allowed. But it is also possible to use no flag, i.e., `0`. But when `write_locked_index()` calls `do_write_index()`, the temporary file, a.k.a. the lockfile, will be closed. So passing `0` is effectively the same as `CLOSE_LOCK`, which seems like a bug. We might feel tempted to restructure the code in order to close the file later, or conditionally. It also feels a bit unfortunate that we simply "happen" to close the lock by way of an implementation detail of lockfiles. But note that we need to close the temporary file before `stat`-ing it, at least on Windows. See 9f41c7a6b (read-cache: close index.lock in do_write_index, 2017-04-26). Drop `CLOSE_LOCK` and make it explicit that `write_locked_index()` always closes the lock. Whether it is also committed is governed by the remaining flag, `COMMIT_LOCK`. This means we neither have nor suggest that we have a mode to write the index and leave the file open. Whatever extra contents we might eventually want to write, we should probably write it from within `write_locked_index()` itself anyway.

2017-09-27git: add --no-optional-locks optionJeff King
Some tools like IDEs or fancy editors may periodically run commands like "git status" in the background to keep track of the state of the repository. Some of these commands may refresh the index and write out the result in an opportunistic way: if they can get the index lock, then they update the on-disk index with any updates they find. And if not, then their in-core refresh is lost and just has to be recomputed by the next caller. But taking the index lock may conflict with other operations in the repository. Especially ones that the user is doing themselves, which _aren't_ opportunistic. In other words, "git status" knows how to back off when somebody else is holding the lock, but other commands don't know that status would be happy to drop the lock if somebody else wanted it. There are a couple possible solutions: 1. Have some kind of "pseudo-lock" that allows other commands to tell status that they want the lock. This is likely to be complicated and error-prone to implement (and maybe even impossible with just dotlocks to work from, as it requires some inter-process communication). 2. Avoid background runs of commands like "git status" that want to do opportunistic updates, preferring instead plumbing like diff-files, etc. This is awkward for a couple of reasons. One is that "status --porcelain" reports a lot more about the repository state than is available from individual plumbing commands. And two is that we actually _do_ want to see the refreshed index. We just don't want to take a lock or write out the result. Whereas commands like diff-files expect us to refresh the index separately and write it to disk so that they can depend on the result. But that write is exactly what we're trying to avoid. 3. Ask "status" not to lock or write the index. This is easy to implement. The big downside is that any work done in refreshing the index for such a call is lost when the process exits. So a background process may end up re-hashing a changed file multiple times until the user runs a command that does an index refresh themselves. This patch implements the option 3. The idea (and the test) is largely stolen from a Git for Windows patch by Johannes Schindelin, 67e5ce7f63 (status: offer *not* to lock the index and update it, 2016-08-12). The twist here is that instead of making this an option to "git status", it becomes a "git" option and matching environment variable. The reason there is two-fold: 1. An environment variable is carried through to sub-processes. And whether an invocation is a background process or not should apply to the whole process tree. So you could do "git --no-optional-locks foo", and if "foo" is a script or alias that calls "status", you'll still get the effect. 2. There may be other programs that want the same treatment. I've punted here on finding more callers to convert, since "status" is the obvious one to call as a repeated background job. But "git diff"'s opportunistic refresh of the index may be a good candidate. The test is taken from 67e5ce7f63, and it's worth repeating Johannes's explanation: Note that the regression test added in this commit does not *really* verify that no index.lock file was written; that test is not possible in a portable way. Instead, we verify that .git/index is rewritten *only* when `git status` is run without `--no-optional-locks`.

2017-09-24builtin/commit: fix memory leak in `prepare_index()`Martin Ågren
Release `pathspec` and the string list `partial`. When we clear the string list, make sure we do not free the `util` pointers. That would result in double-freeing, since we set them up as `item->util = item` in `list_paths()`. Initialize the string list early, so that we can always release it. That introduces some unnecessary overhead in various code paths, but means there is one and only one way out of the function. If we ever accumulate more things we need to free, it should be straightforward to do so.

2017-09-08add UNLEAK annotation for reducing leak false positivesJeff King
It's a common pattern in git commands to allocate some memory that should last for the lifetime of the program and then not bother to free it, relying on the OS to throw it away. This keeps the code simple, and it's fast (we don't waste time traversing structures or calling free at the end of the program). But it also triggers warnings from memory-leak checkers like valgrind or LSAN. They know that the memory was still allocated at program exit, but they don't know _when_ the leaked memory stopped being useful. If it was early in the program, then it's probably a real and important leak. But if it was used right up until program exit, it's not an interesting leak and we'd like to suppress it so that we can see the real leaks. This patch introduces an UNLEAK() macro that lets us do so. To understand its design, let's first look at some of the alternatives. Unfortunately the suppression systems offered by leak-checking tools don't quite do what we want. A leak-checker basically knows two things: 1. Which blocks were allocated via malloc, and the callstack during the allocation. 2. Which blocks were left un-freed at the end of the program (and which are unreachable, but more on that later). Their suppressions work by mentioning the function or callstack of a particular allocation, and marking it as OK to leak. So imagine you have code like this: int cmd_foo(...) { /* this allocates some memory */ char *p = some_function(); printf("%s", p); return 0; } You can say "ignore allocations from some_function(), they're not leaks". But that's not right. That function may be called elsewhere, too, and we would potentially want to know about those leaks. So you can say "ignore the callstack when main calls some_function". That works, but your annotations are brittle. In this case it's only two functions, but you can imagine that the actual allocation is much deeper. If any of the intermediate code changes, you have to update the suppression. What we _really_ want to say is that "the value assigned to p at the end of the function is not a real leak". But leak-checkers can't understand that; they don't know about "p" in the first place. However, we can do something a little bit tricky if we make some assumptions about how leak-checkers work. They generally don't just report all un-freed blocks. That would report even globals which are still accessible when the leak-check is run. Instead they take some set of memory (like BSS) as a root and mark it as "reachable". Then they scan the reachable blocks for anything that looks like a pointer to a malloc'd block, and consider that block reachable. And then they scan those blocks, and so on, transitively marking anything reachable from a global as "not leaked" (or at least leaked in a different category). So we can mark the value of "p" as reachable by putting it into a variable with program lifetime. One way to do that is to just mark "p" as static. But that actually affects the run-time behavior if the function is called twice (you aren't likely to call main() twice, but some of our cmd_*() functions are called from other commands). Instead, we can trick the leak-checker by putting the value into _any_ reachable bytes. This patch keeps a global linked-list of bytes copied from "unleaked" variables. That list is reachable even at program exit, which confers recursive reachability on whatever values we unleak. In other words, you can do: int cmd_foo(...) { char *p = some_function(); printf("%s", p); UNLEAK(p); return 0; } to annotate "p" and suppress the leak report. But wait, couldn't we just say "free(p)"? In this toy example, yes. But UNLEAK()'s byte-copying strategy has several advantages over actually freeing the memory: 1. It's recursive across structures. In many cases our "p" is not just a pointer, but a complex struct whose fields may have been allocated by a sub-function. And in some cases (e.g., dir_struct) we don't even have a function which knows how to free all of the struct members. By marking the struct itself as reachable, that confers reachability on any pointers it contains (including those found in embedded structs, or reachable by walking heap blocks recursively. 2. It works on cases where we're not sure if the value is allocated or not. For example: char *p = argc > 1 ? argv[1] : some_function(); It's safe to use UNLEAK(p) here, because it's not freeing any memory. In the case that we're pointing to argv here, the reachability checker will just ignore our bytes. 3. Likewise, it works even if the variable has _already_ been freed. We're just copying the pointer bytes. If the block has been freed, the leak-checker will skip over those bytes as uninteresting. 4. Because it's not actually freeing memory, you can UNLEAK() before we are finished accessing the variable. This is helpful in cases like this: char *p = some_function(); return another_function(p); Writing this with free() requires: int ret; char *p = some_function(); ret = another_function(p); free(p); return ret; But with unleak we can just write: char *p = some_function(); UNLEAK(p); return another_function(p); This patch adds the UNLEAK() macro and enables it automatically when Git is compiled with SANITIZE=leak. In normal builds it's a noop, so we pay no runtime cost. It also adds some UNLEAK() annotations to show off how the feature works. On top of other recent leak fixes, these are enough to get t0000 and t0001 to pass when compiled with LSAN. Note the case in commit.c which actually converts a strbuf_release() into an UNLEAK. This code was already non-leaky, but the free didn't do anything useful, since we're exiting. Converting it to an annotation means that non-leak-checking builds pay no runtime cost. The cost is minimal enough that it's probably not worth going on a crusade to convert these kinds of frees to UNLEAKS. I did it here for consistency with the "sb" leak (though it would have been equally correct to go the other way, and turn them both into strbuf_release() calls).

2017-07-17commit: check for empty message before the check for untouched templateKaartic Sivaraam
The check for whether the template given to 'git commit' is untouched is done before the empty message check. This results in a wrong error message being displayed in the following case. When the user removes everything in template completely to abort the commit he is shown the "template untouched" error which is wrong. He should be shown the "empty message" error. Do the empty message check before checking for an untouched template thus fixing this issue.
