$GIT_DIR may in some cases be normalized with all symlinks resolved
while "gitdir" path expansion in the pattern does not receive the
same treatment, leading to incorrect mismatch. This has been fixed.
* nd/conditional-config-include:
config: resolve symlinks in conditional include's patterns
path.c: and an option to call real_path() in expand_user_path()
|
|
$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.

In the next patch we need the ability to expand '~' to
real_path($HOME). But we can't do that from outside because '~' is part
of a pattern, not a true path. Add an option to expand_user_path() to do
so.

Unfortunately, in order to push some large repos where a server does
not support chunked encoding, the http postbuffer must sometimes
exceed two gigabytes. On a 64-bit system, this is OK: we just malloc
a larger buffer.
This means that we need to use CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE to set the
buffer size.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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).

When git_config() runs, it looks in the system, user-wide,
and repo-level config files. It gets the latter by calling
git_pathdup(), which in turn calls get_git_dir(). 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.

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().

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.

A config callback passed to git_config() doesn't know very
much about the context in which it sees a variable. It can
ask whether the variable comes from a file, and get the file
name. But without analyzing the filename (which is hard to
do accurately), it cannot tell whether it is in system-level
config, user-level config, or repo-specific config.
Generally this doesn't matter; the point of not passing this
to the callback is that it should treat the config the same
no matter where it comes from. But some programs, like
upload-pack, are a special case: we should be able to run
them in an untrusted repository, which means we cannot use
any "dangerous" config from the repository config file (but
it is OK to use it from system or user config).
This patch teaches the config code to record the "scope" of
each variable, and make it available inside config
callbacks, similar to how we give access to the filename.
The scope is the starting source for a particular parsing
operation, and remains the same even if we include other
files (so a .git/config which includes another file will
remain CONFIG_SCOPE_REPO, as it would be similarly
untrusted).

When 473166b (config: add 'origin_type' to config_source
struct, 2016-02-19) added accessor functions for the origin
type and name, it taught them only to look at the "cf"
struct that is filled in while we are parsing the config.
This is sufficient to make it work with git-config, which
uses git_config_with_options() under the hood. That function
freshly parses the config files and triggers the callback
when it parses each key.
Most git programs, however, use git_config(). This interface
will populate a cache during the actual parse, and then
serve values from the cache. Calling current_config_filename()
in a callback here will find a NULL cf and produce an error.
There are no such callers right now, but let's prepare for
adding some by making this work.
We already record source information in a struct attached to
each value. We just need to make it globally available and
then consult it from the accessor functions.

When we parse a config file, we set up the global "cf"
variable as a pointer to a "struct config_source" describing
the file we are parsing. This is used for error messages, as
well as for lookup functions like current_config_name().
The "cf" variable is NULL in two cases:
1. When we are parsing command-line config, in which case
there is no source file.
2. When we are not parsing any config at all.
Callers like current_config_name() must assume we are in
case 1 if they see a NULL "cf". However, this means that if
they are accidentally used outside of a config parsing
callback, they will quietly return a bogus answer.
This might seem like an unlikely accident (why would you ask
for the current config file if you are not parsing config?),
but it's actually an easy mistake to make due to the
configset caching. git_config() serves the answers from a
configset cache, and any calls to current_config_name() will
claim that we are parsing command-line config, no matter
what the original source.
So let's distinguish these cases by having the command-line
config parser set up a config_source with a NULL name (which
callers already handle properly). We can use this to catch
programming errors in some cases, and to give better
messages to the user in others.

We have several exits from the function, each of which has
to do some cleanup. Let's consolidate these in an "out"
label we can jump to. This doesn't save us much now, but it
will help as we add more things that need cleanup.

Prior to 1f2baa7 (config: treat non-existent config files as
empty, 2010-10-21), we returned an error if any config files
were missing. That commit made this a non-error, but
returned the number of sources found, in case any caller
wanted to distinguish this case.
In the past 5+ years, no caller has; the only two places
which bother to check the return value care only about the
error case. Let's drop this code, which complicates the
function. Similarly, let's drop the "found anything" return
from git_config_from_parameters, which was present only to
support this (and similarly has never had other callers care
for the past 5+ years).
Note that we do need to update a comment in one of the
callers, even though the code immediately below it doesn't
care about this case.
