2016-04-10git_config_set_multivar_in_file: handle "unset" errorsJeff King
We pass off to the "_gently" form to do the real work, and just die() if it returned an error. However, our die message de-references "value", which may be NULL if the request was to unset a variable. Nobody using glibc noticed, because it simply prints "(null)", which is good enough for the test suite (and presumably very few people run across this in practice). But other libc implementations (like Solaris) may segfault. Let's not only fix that, but let's make the message more clear about what is going on in the "unset" case. Reported-by: "Tom G.

2016-04-10git_config_set_multivar_in_file: all non-zero returns are errorsJeff King
This function is just a thin wrapper for the "_gently" form of the function. But the gently form is designed to feed builtin/config.c, which passes our return code directly to its exit status, and thus uses positive error values for some cases. We check only negative values, meaning we would fail to die in some cases (e.g., a malformed key). This may or may not be triggerable in practice; we tend to use this non-gentle form only when setting internal variables, which would not have malformed keys.

2016-04-10config: lower-case first word of error stringsJeff King
This follows our usual style (both throughout git, and throughout the rest of this file). This covers the whole file, but note that I left the capitalization in the multi-sentence: error: malformed value... error: Must be one of ... because it helps make it clear that we are starting a new sentence in the second one.

"git -c credential.<var>=<value> submodule" can now be used to propagate configuration variables related to credential helper down to the submodules. * jk/submodule-c-credential: git_config_push_parameter: handle empty GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS git: submodule honor -c credential.* from command line quote: implement sq_quotef() submodule: fix segmentation fault in submodule--helper clone submodule: fix submodule--helper clone usage submodule: check argc count for git submodule--helper clone submodule: don't pass empty string arguments to submodule--helper clone
2016-03-23git_config_push_parameter: handle empty GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERSJeff King
The "git -c var=value" option stuffs the config value into $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS, so that sub-processes can see it. When the config is later read via git_config() or similar, we parse it back out of that variable. The parsing end is a little bit picky; it assumes that each entry was generated with sq_quote_buf(), and that there is no extraneous whitespace. On the generating end, we are careful to append to an existing $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS variable if it exists. However, our test for "should we add a space separator" is too liberal: it will add one even if the environment variable exists but is empty. As a result, you might end up with: GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS=" 'core.foo=bar'" which the parser will choke on. This was hard to trigger in older versions of git, since we only set the variable when we had something to put into it (though you could certainly trigger it manually). But since 14111fc (git: submodule honor -c credential.* from command line, 2016-02-29), the submodule code will unconditionally put the $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS variable into the environment of any operation in the submodule, whether it is empty or not. So any of those operations which themselves use "git -c" will generate the unparseable value and fail. We can easily fix it by catching this case on the generating side. While we're adding a test, let's also check that multiple layers of "git -c" work, which was previously not tested at all.

2016-02-22use xmallocz to avoid size arithmeticJeff King
We frequently allocate strings as xmalloc(len + 1), where the extra 1 is for the NUL terminator. This can be done more simply with xmallocz, which also checks for integer overflow. There's no case where switching xmalloc(n+1) to xmallocz(n) is wrong; the result is the same length, and malloc made no guarantees about what was in the buffer anyway. But in some cases, we can stop manually placing NUL at the end of the allocated buffer. But that's only safe if it's clear that the contents will always fill the buffer. In each case where this patch does so, I manually examined the control flow, and I tried to err on the side of caution.

The desired default behavior for `git_config_set` is to die whenever an error occurs. Dying is the default for a lot of internal functions when failures occur and is in this case the right thing to do for most callers as otherwise we might run into inconsistent repositories without noticing. As some code may rely on the actual return values for `git_config_set` we still require the ability to invoke these functions without aborting. Rename the existing `git_config_set` functions to `git_config_set_gently` to keep them available for those callers.

In many cases we simply want to die when such a situation arises. Introduce wrappers that will cause the program to die in those cases. These wrappers are temporary only to ease the transition to let `git_config_set` die by default.

2016-01-27test-dump-untracked-cache: don't modify the untracked cacheChristian Couder
To correctly perform its testing function, test-dump-untracked-cache should not change the state of the untracked cache in the index. As a previous patch makes read_index_from() change the state of the untracked cache and as test-dump-untracked-cache indirectly calls this function, we need a mechanism to prevent read_index_from() from changing the untracked cache state when it's called from test-dump-untracked-cache.

2016-01-27config: add core.untrackedCacheChristian Couder
When we know that mtime on directory as given by the environment is usable for the purpose of untracked cache, we may want the untracked cache to be always used without any mtime test or kernel name check being performed. Also when we know that mtime is not usable for the purpose of untracked cache, for example because the repo is shared over a network file system, we may want the untracked-cache to be automatically removed from the index. Allow the user to express such preference by setting the 'core.untrackedCache' configuration variable, which can take 'keep', 'false', or 'true' and default to 'keep'. When read_index_from() is called, it now adds or removes the untracked cache in the index to respect the value of this variable. So it does nothing if the value is `keep` or if the variable is unset; it adds the untracked cache if the value is `true`; and it removes the cache if the value is `false`. `git update-index --[no-|force-]untracked-cache` still adds the untracked cache to, or removes it, from the index, but this shows a warning if it goes against the value of core.untrackedCache, because the next time the index is read the untracked cache will be added or removed if the configuration is set to do so. Also `--untracked-cache` used to check that the underlying operating system and file system change `st_mtime` field of a directory if files are added or deleted in that directory. But because those tests take a long time, `--untracked-cache` no longer performs them. Instead, there is now `--test-untracked-cache` to perform the tests. This change makes `--untracked-cache` the same as `--force-untracked-cache`. This last change is backward incompatible and should be mentioned in the release notes.

2015-12-01Make error message after failing commit_lock_file() less confusingSZEDER Gábor
The error message after a failing commit_lock_file() call sometimes looks like this, causing confusion: $ git remote add remote git@server.com/repo.git error: could not commit config file .git/config # Huh?! # I didn't want to commit anything, especially not my config file! While in the narrow context of the lockfile module using the verb 'commit' in the error message makes perfect sense, in the broader context of git the word 'commit' already has a very specific meaning, hence the confusion. Reword these error messages to say "could not write" instead of "could not commit". While at it, include strerror in the error messages after writing the config file or the credential store fails to provide some information about the cause of the failure, and update the style of the error message after writing the reflog fails to match surrounding error messages (i.e. no '' around the pathname and no () around the error description).

2015-08-24config: silence warnings for command names with invalid keysJeff King
When we are running the git command "foo", we may have to look up the config keys "pager.foo" and "alias.foo". These config schemes are mis-designed, as the command names can be anything, but the config syntax has some restrictions. For example: $ git foo_bar error: invalid key: pager.foo_bar error: invalid key: alias.foo_bar git: 'foo_bar' is not a git command. See 'git --help'. You cannot name an alias with an underscore. And if you have an external command with one, you cannot configure its pager. In the long run, we may develop a different config scheme for these features. But in the near term (and because we'll need to support the existing scheme indefinitely), we should at least squelch the error messages shown above. These errors come from git_config_parse_key. Ideally we would pass a "quiet" flag to the config machinery, but there are many layers between the pager code and the key parsing. Passing a flag through all of those would be an invasive change. Instead, let's provide a config function to report on whether a key is syntactically valid, and have the pager and alias code skip lookup for bogus keys. We can build this easily around the existing git_config_parse_key, with two minor modifications: 1. We now handle a NULL store_key, to validate but not write out the normalized key. 2. We accept a "quiet" flag to avoid writing to stderr. This doesn't need to be a full-blown public "flags" field, because we can make the existing implementation a static helper function, keeping the mess contained inside config.c.

2015-05-28config.c: avoid xmmap error messagesJeff King
The config-writing code uses xmmap to map the existing config file, which will die if the map fails. This has two downsides: 1. The error message is not very helpful, as it lacks any context about the file we are mapping: $ mkdir foo $ git config --file=foo some.key value fatal: Out of memory? mmap failed: No such device 2. We normally do not die in this code path; instead, we'd rather report the error and return an appropriate exit status (which is part of the public interface documented in git-config.1). This patch introduces a "gentle" form of xmmap which lets us produce our own error message. We do not want to use mmap directly, because we would like to use the other compatibility elements of xmmap (e.g., handling 0-length maps portably).

2015-04-16config: use getc_unlocked when reading from fileJeff King
We read config files character-by-character from a stdio handle using fgetc(). This incurs significant locking overhead, even though we know that only one thread can possibly access the handle. We can speed this up by taking the lock ourselves, and then using getc_unlocked to read each character. On a silly pathological case: perl -le ' print "[core]"; print "key$_ = value$_" for (1..1000000) ' >input git config -f input core.key1 this dropped the time to run git-config from: real 0m0.263s user 0m0.260s sys 0m0.000s to: real 0m0.159s user 0m0.152s sys 0m0.004s for a savings of 39%. Most config files are not this big, but the savings should be proportional to the size of the file (i.e., we always save 39%, just of a much smaller number).

2015-02-05config_buf_ungetc: warn when pushing back a random characterJeff King
Our config code simulates a stdio stream around a buffer, but our fake ungetc() does not behave quite like the real one. In particular, we only rewind the position by one character, but do _not_ actually put the character from the caller into position. It turns out that this does not matter, because we only ever push back the character we just read. In other words, such an assignment would be a noop. But because the function is called ungetc, and because it takes a character parameter, it is a mistake waiting to happen. Actually assigning the character into the buffer would be ideal, but our pointer is actually a "const" copy of the buffer. We do not know who the real owner of the buffer is in this code, and would not want to munge their contents. Instead, we can simply add an assertion that matches what the current caller does, and will let us know if new callers are added that violate the contract.

2015-02-05config: do not ungetc EOFJeff King
When we are parsing a config value, if we see a carriage return, we fgetc the next character to see if it is a line feed (in which case we silently drop the CR). If it isn't, we then ungetc the character, and take the literal CR. But we never check whether we in fact got a character at all. If the config file ends in CR, we will get EOF here, and try to ungetc EOF. This works OK for a real stdio stream. The ungetc returns an error, and the next fgetc will then return EOF again. However, our custom buffer-based stream is not so fortunate. It happily rewinds the position of the stream by one character, ignoring the fact that we fed it EOF. The next fgetc call returns the final CR again, over and over, and we end up in an infinite loop. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-01-13use xstrdup_or_null to replace ternary conditionalsJeff King
This replaces "x ? xstrdup(x) : NULL" with xstrdup_or_null(x). The change is fairly mechanical, with the exception of resolve_refdup, which can eliminate a temporary variable. There are still a few hits grepping for "?.*xstrdup", but these are of slightly different forms and cannot be converted (e.g., "x ? xstrdup(x->foo) : NULL").
