2008-07-13Move code interpreting path relative to exec-dir to new function system_path()Steffen Prohaska
Expanding system paths relative to git_exec_path can be used for creating an installation that can be moved to a different directory without re-compiling. We use this approach for template_dir and the system wide gitconfig. The Windows installer (msysgit) is an example for such a setup. This commit moves common code to a new function system_path(). System paths that are to be interpreted relative to git_exec_path are passed to system_path() and the return value is used instead of the original path. system_path() prefixes a relative path with git_exec_path and leaves absolute paths unmodified. For example, we now write template_dir = system_path(DEFAULT_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR); [j6t: moved from path.c to exec_cmd.c] Signed-off-by: Steffen Prohaska <prohaska@zib.de> Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-06-26Windows: Compute the fallback for exec_path from the program invocation.Johannes Sixt
Since on Windows the user is fairly free where to install programs, we cannot rely on a hard-coded path. We use the program name to derive the installation directory and use that as exec_path. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-26Turn builtin_exec_path into a function.Johannes Sixt
builtin_exec_path returns the hard-coded installation path, which is used as the ultimate fallback to look for git commands. Making it into a function enables us in a follow-up patch to return a computed value instead of just a constant string. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
2008-06-24Prepare execv_git_cmd() for removal of builtins from the filesystemJunio C Hamano
Currently, execv_git_cmd() always try running the dashed form, which means we cannot easily remove the git-foo hardlinks for built-in commands. This updates the function to always exec "git foo" form, and makes sure "git" potty does not infinitely recurse to itself. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-12-04Trace and quote with argv: get rid of unneeded count argument.Christian Couder
Now that str_buf takes care of all the allocations, there is no more gain to pass an argument count. So this patch removes the "count" argument from: - "sq_quote_argv" - "trace_argv_printf" and all the callers.

2007-10-30use only the $PATH for exec'ing git commandsScott R Parish
We need to correctly set up $PATH for non-c based git commands. Since we already do this, we can just use that $PATH and execvp, instead of looping over the paths with execve. This patch adds a setup_path() function to exec_cmd.c, which sets the $PATH order correctly for our search order. execv_git_cmd() is stripped down to setting up argv and calling execvp(). git.c's main() only only needs to call setup_path().

2007-02-21Mechanical conversion to use prefixcmp()Junio C Hamano
This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including idiotic conversions like if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3)) => if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo"))) This was done by using this script in px.perl #!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) { s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|; } if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) { s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|; } and running: $ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-19Use preprocessor constants for environment variable names.Junio C Hamano
We broke the discipline Linus set up to allow compiler help us avoid typos in environment names in the early days of git over time. This defines a handful preprocessor constants for environment variable names used in relatively core parts of the system. I've left out variable names specific to subsystems such as HTTP and SSL as I do not think they are big problems. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-08-31Trace into open fd and refactor tracing code.Christian Couder
Now if GIT_TRACE is set to an integer value greater than 1 and lower than 10, we interpret this as an open fd value and we trace into it. Note that this behavior is not compatible with the previous one. We also trace whole messages using one write(2) call to make sure messages from processes do net get mixed up in the middle. It's now possible to run the tests like this: GIT_TRACE=9 make test 9>/var/tmp/trace.log Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-01-14Exec git programs without using PATH.Michal Ostrowski
The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH. - git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands. - exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in the following directories: 1. --exec-path (as used by "git") 2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable. 3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)). - git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to invoke "git-foo" commands. Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.
