2017-05-30Merge branch 'ab/conditional-config-with-symlinks'Junio C Hamano
The recently introduced "[includeIf "gitdir:$dir"] path=..." mechansim has further been taught to take symlinks into account. The directory "$dir" specified in "gitdir:$dir" may be a symlink to a real location, not something that $(getcwd) may return. In such a case, a realpath of "$dir" is compared with the real path of the current repository to determine if the contents from the named path should be included. * ab/conditional-config-with-symlinks: config: match both symlink & realpath versions in IncludeIf.gitdir:*

2017-05-17config: match both symlink & realpath versions in IncludeIf.gitdir:*Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Change the conditional inclusion mechanism to support e.g. gitdir:~/git_tree/repo where ~/git_tree is a symlink to /mnt/stuff/repo. This worked in the initial version of this facility[1], but regressed later in the series while solving a related bug[2]. Now gitdir: will match against the symlinked path (e.g. gitdir:~/git_tree/repo) in addition to the current /mnt/stuff/repo path. Since this is already in a release version note in the documentation that this behavior changed, so users who expect their configuration to work on both v2.13.0 and some future version of git with this fix aren't utterly confused. 1. commit 3efd0bedc6 ("config: add conditional include", 2017-03-01) 2. commit 86f9515708 ("config: resolve symlinks in conditional include's patterns", 2017-04-05) Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-05-16Merge branch 'js/larger-timestamps'Junio C Hamano
Some platforms have ulong that is smaller than time_t, and our historical use of ulong for timestamp would mean they cannot represent some timestamp that the platform allows. Invent a separate and dedicated timestamp_t (so that we can distingiuish timestamps and a vanilla ulongs, which along is already a good move), and then declare uintmax_t is the type to be used as the timestamp_t. * js/larger-timestamps: archive-tar: fix a sparse 'constant too large' warning use uintmax_t for timestamps date.c: abort if the system time cannot handle one of our timestamps timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps PRItime: introduce a new "printf format" for timestamps parse_timestamp(): specify explicitly where we parse timestamps t0006 & t5000: skip "far in the future" test when time_t is too limited t0006 & t5000: prepare for 64-bit timestamps ref-filter: avoid using `unsigned long` for catch-all data type

2017-04-27timestamp_t: a new data type for timestampsJohannes Schindelin
Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit versions). So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type. By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all timestamps' data type in one go. As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`, we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

2017-04-20config: correct file reading order in read_early_config()Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
Config file reading order is important because each file can override values in the previous files and this is expected behavior. Normally we read in this order, all in do_git_config_sequence(): 1. $HOME/.gitconfig 2. $GIT_DIR/config 3. config from command line However in read_early_config() the order may be swapped a bit if setup_git_directory() has not been called: 1. $HOME/.gitconfig 2. $GIT_DIR/config is NOT read because .git dir is not found _yet_ 3. config from command line 4. $GIT_DIR/config is now READ (after discover_git_directory() call) The reading at step 4 could override config at step 3, which is not the expectation. Now that we could pass the .git dir around, we could feed discover_git_directory() back to step 2, so that it works again, and remove step 4.

2017-04-18config: handle conditional include when $GIT_DIR is not set upNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
If setup_git_directory() and friends have not been called, get_git_dir() (because of includeIf.gitdir:XXX) would lead to die("BUG: setup_git_env called without repository"); There are two cases when a config file could be read before $GIT_DIR is located. The first one is check_repository_format(), where we read just the one file $GIT_DIR/config to check if we could understand this repository. This case should be safe. We do not parse include directives, which can only be triggered from git_config_with_options, but setup code uses a lower-level function. The concerned variables should never be hidden away behind includes anyway. The second one is triggered in check_pager_config() when we're about to run an external git command. We might be able to find $GIT_DIR in this case, which is exactly what read_early_config() does (and also is what check_pager_config() uses). Conditional includes and get_git_dir() could be triggered by the first git_config_with_options() call there, before discover_git_directory() is used as a fallback $GIT_DIR detection. Detect this special "early reading" case, pass down the $GIT_DIR, either from previous setup or detected by discover_git_directory(), and make conditional include use it.

2017-04-15config: resolve symlinks in conditional include's patternsNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
$GIT_DIR returned by get_git_dir() is normalized, with all symlinks resolved (see setup_work_tree function). In order to match paths (or patterns) against $GIT_DIR char-by-char, they have to be normalized too. There is a note in config.txt about this, that the user need to resolve symlinks by themselves if needed. The problem is, we allow certain path expansion, '~/' and './', for convenience and can't ask the user to resolve symlinks in these expansions. Make sure the expanded paths have all symlinks resolved. PS. The strbuf_realpath(&text, get_git_dir(), 1) is still needed because get_git_dir() may return relative path.

2017-03-14read_early_config(): really discover .git/Johannes Schindelin
Earlier, we punted and simply assumed that we are in the top-level directory of the project, and that there is no .git file but a .git/ directory so that we can read directly from .git/config. However, that is not necessarily true. We may be in a subdirectory. Or .git may be a gitfile. Or the environment variable GIT_DIR may be set. To remedy this situation, we just refactored the way setup_git_directory() discovers the .git/ directory, to make it reusable, and more importantly, to leave all global variables and the current working directory alone. Let's discover the .git/ directory correctly in read_early_config() by using that new function. This fixes 4 known breakages in t7006.

2017-03-14read_early_config(): avoid .git/config hack when unneededJohannes Schindelin
So far, we only look whether the startup_info claims to have seen a git_dir. However, do_git_config_sequence() (and consequently the git_config_with_options() call used by read_early_config() asks the have_git_dir() function whether we have a .git/ directory, which in turn also looks at git_dir and at the environment variable GIT_DIR. And when this is the case, the repository config is handled already, so we do not have to do that again explicitly. Let's just use the same function, have_git_dir(), to determine whether we have to handle .git/config explicitly.

2017-03-12config: add conditional includeNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
Sometimes a set of repositories want to share configuration settings among themselves that are distinct from other such sets of repositories. A user may work on two projects, each of which have multiple repositories, and use one user.email for one project while using another for the other. Setting $GIT_DIR/.config works, but if the penalty of forgetting to update $GIT_DIR/.config is high (especially when you end up cloning often), it may not be the best way to go. Having the settings in ~/.gitconfig, which would work for just one set of repositories, would not well in such a situation. Having separate ${HOME}s may add more problems than it solves. Extend the include.path mechanism that lets a config file include another config file, so that the inclusion can be done only when some conditions hold. Then ~/.gitconfig can say "include config-project-A only when working on project-A" for each project A the user works on. In this patch, the only supported grouping is based on $GIT_DIR (in absolute path), so you would need to group repositories by directory, or something like that to take advantage of it. We already have include.path for unconditional includes. This patch goes with includeIf.<condition>.path to make it clearer that a condition is required. The new config has the same backward compatibility approach as include.path: older git versions that don't understand includeIf will simply ignore them.

2017-02-24parse_config_key: allow matching single-level configJeff King
The parse_config_key() function was introduced to make it easier to match "section.subsection.key" variables. It also handles the simpler "section.key", and the caller is responsible for distinguishing the two from its out-parameters. Most callers who _only_ want "section.key" would just use a strcmp(var, "section.key"), since there is no parsing required. However, they may still use parse_config_key() if their "section" variable isn't a constant (an example of this is in parse_hide_refs_config). Using the parse_config_key is a bit clunky, though: const char *subsection; int subsection_len; const char *key; if (!parse_config_key(var, section, &subsection, &subsection_len, &key) && !subsection) { /* matched! */ } Instead, let's treat a NULL subsection as an indication that the caller does not expect one. That lets us write: const char *key; if (!parse_config_key(var, section, NULL, NULL, &key)) { /* matched! */ } Existing callers should be unaffected, as passing a NULL subsection would currently segfault.

2017-02-24config: use git_config_parse_key() in git_config_parse_parameter()Junio C Hamano
The parsing of one-shot assignments of configuration variables that come from the command line historically was quite loose and allowed anything to pass. It also downcased everything in the variable name, even a three-level <section>.<subsection>.<variable> name in which the <subsection> part must be treated in a case sensitive manner. Existing git_config_parse_key() helper is used to parse the variable name that comes from the command line, i.e. "git config VAR VAL", and handles these details correctly. Replace the strbuf_tolower() call in git_config_parse_parameter() with a call to it to correct both issues. git_config_parse_key() does a bit more things that are not necessary for the purpose of this codepath (e.g. it allocates a separate buffer to return the canonicalized variable name because it takes a "const char *" input), but we are not in a performance-critical codepath here.

2017-01-31refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = alwaysCornelius Weig
When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old history immediately). However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than the performance implications of keeping the log around. This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

2016-11-16compression: unify pack.compression configuration parsingJunio C Hamano
There are three codepaths that use a variable whose name is pack_compression_level to affect how objects and deltas sent to a packfile is compressed. Unlike zlib_compression_level that controls the loose object compression, however, this variable was static to each of these codepaths. Two of them read the pack.compression configuration variable, using core.compression as the default, and one of them also allowed overriding it from the command line. The other codepath in bulk-checkin did not pay any attention to the configuration. Unify the configuration parsing to git_default_config(), where we implement the parsing of core.loosecompression and core.compression and make the former override the latter, by moving code to parse pack.compression and also allow core.compression to give default to this variable.

2016-09-27get_short_sha1: make default disambiguation configurableJeff King
When we find ambiguous short sha1s, we may get a disambiguation rule from our caller's context. But if we don't, we fall back to treating all sha1s the same, even though most projects will tend to refer only to commits by their short sha1s. This patch introduces a configuration option that lets the user pick a different fallback (e.g., only commits). It's possible that we may want to make this the default, but it's a good idea to start as a config option for two reasons: 1. It lets people experiment with this and see if it's a good idea (i.e., the "tend to" above is an assumption; we don't really know if this will break some obscure cases). 2. Even if we do flip the default, it gives people an escape hatch if it causes problems (you can sometimes override it by asking for "1234^{tree}", but not all combinations are possible).

If we haven't set up the git repository yet, this may simply return ".git", and we will look at ".git/config". This seems like it would be helpful (presumably we haven't set up the repository yet, so it tries to find it), but it turns out to be a bad idea for a few reasons: - it's not sufficient, and therefore hides bugs in a confusing way. Config will be respected if commands are run from the top-level of the working tree, but not from a subdirectory. - it's not always true that we haven't set up the repository _yet_; we may not want to do it at all. For instance, if you run "git init /some/path" from inside another repository, it should not load config from the existing repository. - there might be a path ".git/config", but it is not the actual repository we would find via setup_git_directory(). This may happen, e.g., if you are storing a git repository inside another git repository, but have munged one of the files in such a way that the inner repository is not valid (e.g., by removing HEAD). We have at least two bugs of the second type in git-init, introduced by ae5f677 (lazily load core.sharedrepository, 2016-03-11). It causes init to use git_configset(), which loads all of the config, including values from the current repo (if any). This shows up in two ways: 1. If we happen to be in an existing repository directory, we'll read and respect core.sharedrepository from it, even though it should have no bearing on the new repository. A new test in t1301 covers this. 2. Similarly, if we're in an existing repo that sets core.logallrefupdates, that will cause init to fail to set it in a newly created repository (because it thinks that the user's templates already did so). A new test in t0001 covers this. We also need to adjust an existing test in t1302, which gives another example of why this patch is an improvement. That test creates an embedded repository with a bogus core.repositoryformatversion of "99". It wants to make sure that we actually stop at the bogus repo rather than continuing upward to find the outer repo. So it checks that "git config core.repositoryformatversion" returns 99. But that only works because we blindly read ".git/config", even though we _know_ we're in a repository whose vintage we do not understand. After this patch, we avoid reading config from the unknown vintage repository at all, which is a safer choice. But we need to tweak the test, since core.repositoryformatversion will not return 99; it will claim that it could not find the variable at all.

2016-09-13pager: stop loading git_default_config()Jeff King
In git_pager(), we really only care about getting the value of core.pager. But to do so, we use the git_default_config() callback, which loads many other values. Ordinarily it isn't a big deal to load this config an extra time, as it simply overwrites the values from the previous run. But it's a bad idea here, for two reasons: 1. The pager setup may be called very early in the program, before we have found the git repository. As a result, we may fail to read the correct repo-level config file. This is a problem for core.pager, too, but we should at least try to minimize the pollution to other configured values. 2. Because we call setup_pager() from git.c, basically every builtin command _may_ end up reading this config and getting an implicit git_default_config() setup. Which doesn't sound like a terrible thing, except that we don't do it consistently; it triggers only when stdout is a tty. So if a command forgets to load the default config itself (but depends on it anyway), it may appear to work, and then mysteriously fail when the pager is not in use. We can improve this by loading _just_ the core.pager config from git_pager(). Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-07-28i18n: config: unfold error messages marked for translationVasco Almeida
Introduced in 473166b ("config: add 'origin_type' to config_source struct", 2016-02-19), Git can inform the user about the origin of a config error, but the implementation does not allow translators to translate the keywords 'file', 'blob, 'standard input', and 'submodule-blob'. Moreover, for the second message, a reason for the error is appended to the message, not allowing translators to translate that reason either. Unfold the message into several templates for each known origin_type. That would result in better translation at the expense of code verbosity. Add enum config_oringin_type to ease management of the various configuration origin types (blob, file, etc). Previously origin type was considered from command line if cf->origin_type == NULL, i.e., uninitialized. Now we set origin_type to CONFIG_ORIGIN_CMDLINE in git_config_from_parameters() and configset_add_value(). For error message in git_parse_source(), use xstrfmt() function to prepare the message string, instead of doing something like it's done for die_bad_number(), because intelligibility and code conciseness are improved for that instance.
