2014-09-03receive-pack.c: use a reference transaction for updating the refsRonnie Sahlberg
Wrap all the ref updates inside a transaction. In the new API there is no distinction between failure to lock and failure to write a ref. Both can be permanent (e.g., a ref "refs/heads/topic" is blocking creation of the lock file "refs/heads/topic/1.lock") or transient (e.g., file system full) and there's no clear difference in how the client should respond, so replace the two statuses "failed to lock" and "failed to write" with a single status "failed to update ref". In both cases a more detailed message is sent by sideband to diagnose the problem. Example, before: error: there are still refs under 'refs/heads/topic' remote: error: failed to lock refs/heads/topic To foo ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> topic (failed to lock) After: error: there are still refs under 'refs/heads/topic' remote: error: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/heads/topic'. To foo ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> topic (failed to update ref) Signed-off-by: Ronnie Sahlberg <sahlberg@google.com> Reviewed-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-07-14trace: improve trace performanceKarsten Blees
The trace API currently rechecks the environment variable and reopens the trace file on every API call. This has the ugly side effect that errors (e.g. file cannot be opened, or the user specified a relative path) are also reported on every call. Performance can be improved by about factor three by remembering the environment state and keeping the file open. Replace the 'const char *key' parameter in the API with a pointer to a 'struct trace_key' that bundles the environment variable name with additional, trace-internal state. Change the call sites of these APIs to use a static 'struct trace_key' instead of a string constant. In trace.c::get_trace_fd(), save and reuse the file descriptor in 'struct trace_key'. Add a 'trace_disable()' API, so that packet_trace() can cleanly disable tracing when it encounters packed data (instead of using unsetenv()).

2014-02-27shallow: automatically clean up shallow tempfilesJeff King
We sometimes write tempfiles of the form "shallow_XXXXXX" during fetch/push operations with shallow repositories. Under normal circumstances, we clean up the result when we are done. However, we do no take steps to clean up after ourselves when we exit due to die() or signal death. This patch teaches the tempfile creation code to register handlers to clean up after ourselves. To handle this, we change the ownership semantics of the filename returned by setup_temporary_shallow. It now keeps a copy of the filename itself, and returns only a const pointer to it. We can also do away with explicit tempfile removal in the callers. They all exit not long after finishing with the file, so they can rely on the auto-cleanup, simplifying the code. Note that we keep things simple and maintain only a single filename to be cleaned. This is sufficient for the current caller, but we future-proof it with a die("BUG").

2013-12-11receive-pack: allow pushes that update .git/shallowNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
The basic 8 steps to update .git/shallow does not fully apply here because the user may choose to accept just a few refs (while fetch always accepts all refs). The steps are modified a bit. 1-6. same as before. After calling assign_shallow_commits_to_refs at step 6, each shallow commit has a bitmap that marks all refs that require it. 7. mark all "ours" shallow commits that are reachable from any refs. We will need to do the original step 7 on them later. 8. go over all shallow commit bitmaps, mark refs that require new shallow commits. 9. setup a strict temporary shallow file to plug all the holes, even if it may cut some of our history short. This file is used by all hooks. The hooks could use --shallow-file=$GIT_DIR/shallow to overcome this and reach everything in current repo. 10. go over the new refs one by one. For each ref, do the reachability test if it needs a shallow commit on the list from step 7. Remove it if it's reachable from our refs. Gather all required shallow commits, run check_everything_connected() with the new ref, then install them to .git/shallow.

2013-12-11make the sender advertise shallow commits to the receiverNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
If either receive-pack or upload-pack is called on a shallow repository, shallow commits (*) will be sent after the ref advertisement (but before the packet flush), so that the receiver has the full "shape" of the sender's commit graph. This will be needed for the receiver to update its .git/shallow if necessary. This breaks the protocol for all clients trying to push to a shallow repo, or fetch from one. Which is basically the same end result as today's "is_repository_shallow() && die()" in receive-pack and upload-pack. New clients will be made aware of shallow upstream and can make use of this information. The sender must send all shallow commits that are sent in the following pack. It may send more shallow commits than necessary. upload-pack for example may choose to advertise no shallow commits if it knows in advance that the pack it's going to send contains no shallow commits. But upload-pack is the server, so we choose the cheaper way, send full .git/shallow and let the client deal with it. Smart HTTP is not affected by this patch. Shallow support on smart-http comes later separately. (*) A shallow commit is a commit that terminates the revision walker. It is usually put in .git/shallow in order to keep the revision walker from going out of bound because there is no guarantee that objects behind this commit is available.

- From the beginning of push.c in 755225d, 2006-04-29, "thin" option was enabled by default but could be turned off with --no-thin. - Then Shawn changed the default to 0 in favor of saving server resources in a4503a1, 2007-09-09. --no-thin worked great. - One day later, in 9b28851 Daniel extracted some code from push.c to create transport.c. He (probably accidentally) flipped the default value from 0 to 1 in transport_get(). From then on --no-thin is effectively no-op because git-push still expects the default value to be false and only calls transport_set_option() when "thin" variable in push.c is true (which is unnecessary). Correct the code to respect --no-thin by calling transport_set_option() in both cases. receive-pack learns about --reject-thin-pack-for-testing option, which only is for testing purposes, hence no document update.

2013-04-23Merge branch 'jk/receive-pack-deadlocks-with-early-failure'Junio C Hamano
When receive-pack detects error in the pack header it received in order to decide which of unpack-objects or index-pack to run, it returned without closing the error stream, which led to a hang sideband thread. * jk/receive-pack-deadlocks-with-early-failure: receive-pack: close sideband fd on early pack errors
2013-04-19receive-pack: close sideband fd on early pack errorsJeff King
Since commit a22e6f8 (receive-pack: send pack-processing stderr over sideband, 2012-09-21), receive-pack will start an async sideband thread to copy the stderr from our index-pack or unpack-objects child to the client. We hand the thread's input descriptor to unpack(), which puts it in the "err" member of the "struct child_process". After unpack() returns, we use finish_async() to reap the sideband thread. The thread is only ready to die when it gets EOF on its pipe, which is connected to the err descriptor. So we expect all of the write ends of that pipe to be closed as part of unpack(). Normally, this works fine. After start_command forks, it closes the parent copy of the descriptor. Then once the child exits (whether it was successful or not), that closes the only remaining writer. However, there is one code-path in unpack() that does not handle this. Before we decide which of unpack-objects or index-pack to use, we read the pack header ourselves to see how many objects it contains. If there is an error here, we exit without running either sub-command, the pipe descriptor remains open, and we are in a deadlock, waiting for the sideband thread to die (which is in turn waiting for us to close the pipe). We can fix this by making sure that unpack() always closes the pipe before returning. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-02-20pkt-line: provide a LARGE_PACKET_MAX static bufferJeff King
Most of the callers of packet_read_line just read into a static 1000-byte buffer (callers which handle arbitrary binary data already use LARGE_PACKET_MAX). This works fine in practice, because: 1. The only variable-sized data in these lines is a ref name, and refs tend to be a lot shorter than 1000 characters. 2. When sending ref lines, git-core always limits itself to 1000 byte packets. However, the only limit given in the protocol specification in Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt is LARGE_PACKET_MAX; the 1000 byte limit is mentioned only in pack-protocol.txt, and then only describing what we write, not as a specific limit for readers. This patch lets us bump the 1000-byte limit to LARGE_PACKET_MAX. Even though git-core will never write a packet where this makes a difference, there are two good reasons to do this: 1. Other git implementations may have followed protocol-common.txt and used a larger maximum size. We don't bump into it in practice because it would involve very long ref names. 2. We may want to increase the 1000-byte limit one day. Since packets are transferred before any capabilities, it's difficult to do this in a backwards-compatible way. But if we bump the size of buffer the readers can handle, eventually older versions of git will be obsolete enough that we can justify bumping the writers, as well. We don't have plans to do this anytime soon, but there is no reason not to start the clock ticking now. Just bumping all of the reading bufs to LARGE_PACKET_MAX would waste memory. Instead, since most readers just read into a temporary buffer anyway, let's provide a single static buffer that all callers can use. We can further wrap this detail away by having the packet_read_line wrapper just use the buffer transparently and return a pointer to the static storage. That covers most of the cases, and the remaining ones already read into their own LARGE_PACKET_MAX buffers. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-02-20pkt-line: teach packet_read_line to chomp newlinesJeff King
The packets sent during ref negotiation are all terminated by newline; even though the code to chomp these newlines is short, we end up doing it in a lot of places. This patch teaches packet_read_line to auto-chomp the trailing newline; this lets us get rid of a lot of inline chomping code. As a result, some call-sites which are not reading line-oriented data (e.g., when reading chunks of packfiles alongside sideband) transition away from packet_read_line to the generic packet_read interface. This patch converts all of the existing callsites. Since the function signature of packet_read_line does not change (but its behavior does), there is a possibility of new callsites being introduced in later commits, silently introducing an incompatibility. However, since a later patch in this series will change the signature, such a commit would have to be merged directly into this commit, not to the tip of the series; we can therefore ignore the issue. This is an internal cleanup and should produce no change of behavior in the normal case. However, there is one corner case to note. Callers of packet_read_line have never been able to tell the difference between a flush packet ("0000") and an empty packet ("0004"), as both cause packet_read_line to return a length of 0. Readers treat them identically, even though Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt says we must not; it also says that implementations should not send an empty pkt-line. By stripping out the newline before the result gets to the caller, we will now treat the newline-only packet ("0005\n") the same as an empty packet, which in turn gets treated like a flush packet. In practice this doesn't matter, as neither empty nor newline-only packets are part of git's protocols (at least not for the line-oriented bits, and readers who are not expecting line-oriented packets will be calling packet_read directly, anyway). But even if we do decide to care about the distinction later, it is orthogonal to this patch. The right place to tighten would be to stop treating empty packets as flush packets, and this change does not make doing so any harder.

2013-02-07upload/receive-pack: allow hiding ref hierarchiesJunio C Hamano
A repository may have refs that are only used for its internal bookkeeping purposes that should not be exposed to the others that come over the network. Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from its initial advertisement by paying attention to the uploadpack.hiderefs multi-valued configuration variable. Do the same to receive-pack via the receive.hiderefs variable. As a convenient short-hand, allow using transfer.hiderefs to set the value to both of these variables. Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value of these variable is excluded from responses to requests made by "ls-remote", "fetch", etc. (for upload-pack) and "push" (for receive-pack). Because these hidden refs do not count as OUR_REF, an attempt to fetch objects at the tip of them will be rejected, and because these refs do not get advertised, "git push :" will not see local branches that have the same name as them as "matching" ones to be sent. An attempt to update/delete these hidden refs with an explicit refspec, e.g. "git push origin :refs/hidden/22", is rejected. This is not a new restriction. To the pusher, it would appear that there is no such ref, so its push request will conclude with "Now that I sent you all the data, it is time for you to update the refs. I saw that the ref did not exist when I started pushing, and I want the result to point at this commit". The receiving end will apply the compare-and-swap rule to this request and rejects the push with "Well, your update request conflicts with somebody else; I see there is such a ref.", which is the right thing to do. Otherwise a push to a hidden ref will always be "the last one wins", which is not a good default. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Create find_hook() function to determine if a given hook exists and is executable. If it is, the path to the script will be returned, otherwise NULL is returned. This encapsulates the tests that are used to check for the existence of a hook in one place, making it easier to modify those checks if that is found to be necessary. This also makes it simple for places that can use a hook to check if a hook exists before doing, possibly lengthy, setup work which would be pointless if no such hook is present. The returned value is left as a static value from get_pathname() rather than a duplicate because it is anticipated that the return value will either be used as a boolean, immediately added to an argv_array list which would result in it being duplicated at that point, or used to actually run the command without much intervening work. Callers which need to hold onto the returned value for a longer time are expected to duplicate the return value themselves.

2012-09-21receive-pack: send pack-processing stderr over sidebandJeff King
Receive-pack invokes either unpack-objects or index-pack to handle the incoming pack. However, we do not redirect the stderr of the sub-processes at all, so it is never seen by the client. From the initial thread adding sideband support, which is here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/139471 it is clear that some messages are specifically kept off the sideband (with the assumption that they are of interest only to an administrator, not the client). The stderr of the subprocesses is mentioned in the thread, but it's unclear if they are included in that group, or were simply forgotten. However, there are a few good reasons to show them to the client: 1. In many cases, they are directly about the incoming packfile (e.g., fsck warnings with --strict, corruption in the packfile, etc). Without these messages, the client just gets "unpacker error" with no extra useful diagnosis. 2. No matter what the cause, we are probably better off showing the errors to the client. If the client and the server admin are not the same entity, it is probably much easier for the client to cut-and-paste the errors they see than for the admin to try to dig them out of a log and correlate them with a particular session. 3. Users of the ssh transport typically already see these stderr messages, as the remote's stderr is copied literally by ssh. This brings other transports (http, and push-over-git if you are crazy enough to enable it) more in line with ssh. As a bonus for ssh users, because the messages are now fed through the sideband and printed by the local git, they will have "remote:" prepended and be properly interleaved with any local output to stderr.

Some capabilities were asked by fetch-pack even when upload-pack did not advertise that they are available. Fix fetch-pack not to do so. * jc/capabilities: fetch-pack: mention server version with verbose output parse_feature_request: make it easier to see feature values fetch-pack: do not ask for unadvertised capabilities do not send client agent unless server does first send-pack: fix capability-sending logic include agent identifier in capability string
2012-08-28receive-pack: use in_merge_bases() for fast-forward checkJunio C Hamano
The original computed merge-base between the old commit and the new commit and checked if the old commit was a merge base between them, in order to make sure we are fast-forwarding. Instead, call in_merge_bases(old, new) which does the same. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-08-07receive-pack: do not leak output from auto-gc to standard outputJunio C Hamano
The standard output channel of receive-pack is a structured protocol channel, and subprocesses must never be allowed to leak anything into it by writing to their standard output. Use RUN_COMMAND_STDOUT_TO_STDERR option to run_command_v_opt() just like we do when running hooks to prevent output from "gc" leaking to the standard output.

2012-08-03include agent identifier in capability stringJeff King
Instead of having the client advertise a particular version number in the git protocol, we have managed extensions and backwards compatibility by having clients and servers advertise capabilities that they support. This is far more robust than having each side consult a table of known versions, and provides sufficient information for the protocol interaction to complete. However, it does not allow servers to keep statistics on which client versions are being used. This information is not necessary to complete the network request (the capabilities provide enough information for that), but it may be helpful to conduct a general survey of client versions in use. We already send the client version in the user-agent header for http requests; adding it here allows us to gather similar statistics for non-http requests.

2012-02-13do not override receive-pack errorsClemens Buchacher
Receive runs rev-list --verify-objects in order to detect missing objects. However, such errors are ignored and overridden later. Instead, consequently ignore all update commands for which an error has already been detected. Some tests in t5504 are obsoleted by this change, because invalid objects are detected even if fsck is not enabled. Instead, they now test for different error messages depending on whether or not fsck is turned on. A better fix would be to force a corruption that will be detected by fsck but not by rev-list.

Currently, git push --quiet produces some non-error output, e.g.: $ git push --quiet Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done. This fixes a bug reported for the fedora git package: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725593 Reported-by: Jesse Keating <jkeating@redhat.com> Cc: Todd Zullinger <tmz@pobox.com> Commit 90a6c7d4 (propagate --quiet to send-pack/receive-pack) introduced the --quiet option to receive-pack and made send-pack pass that option. Older versions of receive-pack do not recognize the option, however, and terminate immediately. The commit was therefore reverted. This change instead adds a 'quiet' capability to receive-pack, which is a backwards compatible. In addition, this fixes push --quiet via http: A verbosity of 0 means quiet for remote helpers.

2012-01-08server_supports(): parse feature list more carefullyJunio C Hamano
We have been carefully choosing feature names used in the protocol extensions so that the vocabulary does not contain a word that is a substring of another word, so it is not a real problem, but we have recently added "quiet" feature word, which would mean we cannot later add some other word with "quiet" (e.g. "quiet-push"), which is awkward. Let's make sure that we can eventually be able to do so by teaching the clients and servers that feature words consist of non whitespace letters. This parser also allows us to later add features with parameters e.g. "feature=1.5" (parameter values need to be quoted for whitespaces, but we will worry about the detauls when we do introduce them).

2012-01-06write_head_info(): handle "extra refs" locallyMichael Haggerty
The old code basically did: generate array of SHA1s for alternate refs for each unique SHA1 in array: add_extra_ref(".have", sha1) for each ref (including real refs and extra refs): show_ref(refname, sha1) But there is no need to stuff the alternate refs in extra_refs; we can call show_ref() directly when iterating over the array, then handle real refs separately. So change the code to: generate array of SHA1s for alternate refs for each unique SHA1 in array: show_ref(".have", sha1) for each ref (this now only includes real refs): show_ref(refname, sha1) Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
