2016-01-29Merge branch 'jk/filter-branch-no-index'Junio C Hamano
A recent optimization to filter-branch in v2.7.0 introduced a regression when --prune-empty filter is used, which has been corrected. * jk/filter-branch-no-index: filter-branch: resolve $commit^{tree} in no-index case
2016-01-19filter-branch: resolve $commit^{tree} in no-index caseJeff King
Commit 348d4f2 (filter-branch: skip index read/write when possible, 2015-11-06) taught filter-branch to optimize out the final "git write-tree" when we know we haven't touched the tree with any of our filters. It does by simply putting the literal text "$commit^{tree}" into the "$tree" variable, avoiding a useless rev-parse call. However, when we pass this to git_commit_non_empty_tree(), it gets confused; it resolves "$commit^{tree}" itself, and compares our string to the 40-hex sha1, which obviously doesn't match. As a result, "--prune-empty" (or any custom filter using git_commit_non_empty_tree) will fail to drop an empty commit (when filter-branch is used without a tree or index filter). Let's resolve $tree to the 40-hex ourselves, so that git_commit_non_empty_tree can work. Unfortunately, this is a bit slower due to the extra process overhead: $ cd t/perf && ./run 348d4f2 HEAD p7000-filter-branch.sh [...] Test 348d4f2 HEAD -------------------------------------------------------------- 7000.2: noop filter 3.76(0.24+0.26) 4.54(0.28+0.24) +20.7% We could try to make git_commit_non_empty_tree more clever. However, the value of $tree here is technically user-visible. The user can provide arbitrary shell code at this stage, which could itself have a similar assumption to what is in git_commit_non_empty_tree. So the conservative choice to fix this regression is to take the 20% hit and give the pre-348d4f2 behavior. We still end up much faster than before the optimization: $ cd t/perf && ./run 348d4f2^ HEAD p7000-filter-branch.sh [...] Test 348d4f2^ HEAD -------------------------------------------------------------- 7000.2: noop filter 9.51(4.32+0.40) 4.51(0.28+0.23) -52.6% Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

'git filter-branch' fails complaining about an ambiguous argument, if a tree-filter renames a path and the new pathname happens to match an existing object name. After the tree-filter has been applied, 'git filter-branch' looks for changed paths by running: git diff-index -r --name-only --ignore-submodules $commit which then, because of the lack of disambiguating double-dash, can't decide whether to treat '$commit' as revision or path and errors out. Add that disambiguating double-dash after 'git diff-index's revision argument to make sure that '$commit' is interpreted as a revision.

If the user specifies an index filter but not a tree filter, filter-branch cleverly avoids checking out the tree entirely. But we don't do the next level of optimization: if you have no index or tree filter, we do not need to read the index at all.

A recent "filter-branch --msg-filter" broke skipping of the commit object header, which is fixed. * jk/filter-branch-use-of-sed-on-incomplete-line: filter-branch: remove multi-line headers in msg filter
2015-10-12filter-branch: remove multi-line headers in msg filterJames McCoy
df062010 (filter-branch: avoid passing commit message through sed) introduced a regression when filtering commits with multi-line headers, if the header contains a blank line. An example of this is a gpg-signed commit: $ git cat-file commit signed-commit tree 3d4038e029712da9fc59a72afbfcc90418451630 parent 110eac945dc1713b27bdf49e74e5805db66971f0 author A U Thor <author@example.com> 1112912413 -0700 committer C O Mitter <committer@example.com> 1112912413 -0700 gpgsig -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEABECAAYFAlYXADwACgkQE7b1Hs3eQw23CACgldB/InRyDgQwyiFyMMm3zFpj pUsAnA+f3aMUsd9mNroloSmlOgL6jIMO =0Hgm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Adding gpg As a consequence, "filter-branch --msg-filter cat" (which should leave the commit message unchanged) spills the signature (after the internal blank line) into the original commit message. The reason is that although the signature is indented, making the line a whitespace only line, the "read" call is splitting the line based on the shell's IFS, which defaults to <space><tab><newline>. The leading space is consumed and $header_line is empty, causing the "skip header lines" loop to exit. The rest of the commit object is then re-used as the rewritten commit message, causing the new message to include the signature of the original commit. Set IFS to an empty string for the "read" call, thus disabling the word splitting, which causes $header_line to be set to the non-empty value ' '. This allows the loop to fully consume the header lines before emitting the original, intact commit message.

2015-04-29filter-branch: avoid passing commit message through sedJeff King
On some systems (like OS X), if sed encounters input without a trailing newline, it will silently add it. As a result, "git filter-branch" on such systems may silently rewrite commit messages that omit a trailing newline. Even though this is not something we generate ourselves with "git commit", it's better for filter-branch to preserve the original data as closely as possible. We're using sed here only to strip the header fields from the commit object. We can accomplish the same thing with a shell loop. Since shell "read" calls are slow (usually one syscall per byte), we use "cat" once we've skipped past the header. Depending on the size of your commit messages, this is probably faster (you pay the cost to fork, but then read the data in saner-sized chunks). This idea is shamelessly stolen from Junio.

2014-07-01filter-branch: eliminate duplicate mapped parentsCharles Bailey
When multiple parents of a merge commit get mapped to the same commit, filter-branch used to pass all instances of the parent commit to the parent and commit filters and to "git commit-tree" or "git_commit_non_empty_tree". This can often happen when extracting a small project from a large repository; merges can join history with no commits on any branch which affect the paths being retained. Once the intermediate commits have been filtered out, all the immediate parents of the merge commit can end up being mapped to the same commit - either the original merge-base or an ancestor of it. "git commit-tree" would display an error but write the commit with the normalized parents in any case. "git_commit_non_empty_tree" would fail to notice that the commit being made was in fact a non-merge commit and would retain it even if a further pass with "--prune-empty" would discard the commit as empty. Ensure that duplicate parents are pruned before the parent filter to make "--prune-empty" idempotent, removing all empty non-merge commits in a singe pass.

2013-08-29write_index: optionally allow broken null sha1sJeff King
Commit 4337b58 (do not write null sha1s to on-disk index, 2012-07-28) added a safety check preventing git from writing null sha1s into the index. The intent was to catch errors in other parts of the code that might let such an entry slip into the index (or worse, a tree). Some existing repositories may have invalid trees that contain null sha1s already, though. Until 4337b58, a common way to clean this up would be to use git-filter-branch's index-filter to repair such broken entries. That now fails when filter-branch tries to write out the index. Introduce a GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1 environment variable to relax this check and make it easier to recover from such a history. It is tempting to not involve filter-branch in this commit at all, and instead require the user to manually invoke GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1=1 git filter-branch ... to perform an index-filter on a history with trees with null sha1s. That would be slightly safer, but requires some specialized knowledge from the user. So let's set the GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1 variable automatically when checking out the to-be-filtered trees. Advice on using filter-branch to remove such entries already exists on places like stackoverflow, and this patch makes it Just Work again on recent versions of git. Further commands that touch the index will still notice and fail, unless they actually remove the broken entries. A filter-branch whose filters do not touch the index at all will not error out (since we complain of the null sha1 only on writing, not when making a tree out of the index), but this is acceptable, as we still print a loud warning, so the problem is unlikely to go unnoticed.

When used with "-d temporary-directory" option, "git filter-branch" failed to come back to the original working tree to perform the final clean-up procedure. * jk/filter-branch-come-back-to-original: filter-branch: return to original dir after filtering
2013-04-02filter-branch: return to original dir after filteringJeff King
The first thing filter-branch does is to create a temporary directory, either ".git-rewrite" in the current directory (which may be the working tree or the repository if bare), or in a directory specified by "-d". We then chdir to $tempdir/t as our temporary working directory in which to run tree filters. After finishing the filter, we then attempt to go back to the original directory with "cd ../..". This works in the .git-rewrite case, but if "-d" is used, we end up in a random directory. The only thing we do after this chdir is to run git-read-tree, but that means that: 1. The working directory is not updated to reflect the filtered history. 2. We dump random files into "$tempdir/.." (e.g., if you use "-d /tmp/foo", we dump junk into /tmp). Fix it by recording the full path to the original directory and returning there explicitly. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-10-18filter-branch: use git-sh-setup's ident parsing functionsJeff King
This saves us some code, but it also reduces the number of processes we start for each filtered commit. Since we can parse both author and committer in the same sed invocation, we save one process. And since the new interface avoids tr, we save 4 processes. It also avoids using "tr", which has had some odd portability problems reported with from Solaris's xpg6 version. We also tweak one of the tests in t7003 to double-check that we are properly exporting the variables (because test-lib.sh exports GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, it will be automatically exported in subprograms.

According to `git help filter-branch': --commit-filter <command> ... You can use the _map_ convenience function in this filter, and other convenience functions, too... ... However, it turns out that `map' hasn't been usable because it depends on the variable `workdir', which is not propogated to the environment of the shell that runs the commit-filter <command> because the shell is created via a simple-command rather than a compound-command subshell: @SHELL_PATH@ -c "$filter_commit" "git commit-tree" \ $(git write-tree) $parentstr < ../message > ../map/$commit || die "could not write rewritten commit" One solution is simply to export `workdir'. However, it seems rather heavy-handed to export `workdir' to the environments of all commands, so instead this commit exports `workdir' for only the duration of the shell command in question: workdir=$workdir @SHELL_PATH@ -c "$filter_commit" "git commit-tree" \ $(git write-tree) $parentstr < ../message > ../map/$commit || die "could not write rewritten commit" Signed-off-by: Michael Witten <mfwitten@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-11-24Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanityJunio C Hamano
If the user has exported the GREP_OPTIONS environment variable, the output from "grep" and "egrep" in scripted Porcelains may be different from what they expect. For example, we may want to count number of matching lines, by "grep" piped to "wc -l", and GREP_OPTIONS=-C3 will break such use. The approach taken by this change to address this issue is to protect only our own use of grep/egrep. Because we do not unset it at the beginning of our scripts, hook scripts run from the scripted Porcelains are exposed to the same insanity this environment variable causes when grep/egrep is used to implement logic (e.g. "grep | wc -l"), and it is entirely up to the hook scripts to protect themselves. On the other hand, applypatch-msg hook may want to show offending words in the proposed commit log message using grep to the end user, and the user might want to set GREP_OPTIONS=--color to paint the match more visibly. The approach to protect only our own use without unsetting the environment variable globally will allow this use case. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

However, that rewriting strategy is also a useful building block in other tasks. For example, if you want to split out a subset of files from your history, you would typically call git filter-branch -- <refs> -- <files> But this fails for all refs that do not point directly to a commit that affects <files>, because their referenced commit will not be rewritten and the ref remains untouched.

2009-11-13filter-branch: stop special-casing $filter_subdir argumentThomas Rast
Handling $filter_subdir in the usual way requires a separate case at every use, because the variable is empty when unused. Furthermore, --subdirectory-filter supplies its own '--', and if the user provided one himself, such as in git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter subdir -- --all -- subdir/file an extra '--' was used as path filter in the call to git-rev-list that determines the commits that shall be rewritten. To keep the argument handling sane, we filter $@ to contain only the non-revision arguments, and store all revisions in $ref_args. The $ref_args are easy to handle since only the SHA1s are needed; the actual branch names have already been stored in $tempdir/heads at this point. An extra separating -- is only required if the user did not provide any non-revision arguments, as the latter disambiguate the $filter_subdir following after them (or fail earlier because they are ambiguous themselves).

In order to avoid losing any local change during this step, filter-branch refuses to work when there are local changes in the work tree. This "read-tree -m -u HEAD" operation does not affect what commit is checked out in a submodule (iow, it does not touch .git/HEAD in a submodule checkout), and checking if there is any local change to the submodule is not useful. Staged submodules _are_ considered to be 'dirty', however, as the "read-tree -m -u HEAD" could result in loss of staged information otherwise.

2009-02-04filter-branch: Fix fatal error on bare repositoriesEric Kidd
When git filter-branch is run on a bare repository, it prints out a fatal error message: $ git filter-branch branch Rewrite 476c4839280c219c2317376b661d9d95c1727fc3 (9/9) WARNING: Ref 'refs/heads/branch' is unchanged fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree Note that this fatal error message doesn't prevent git filter-branch from exiting successfully. (Why doesn't git filter-branch actually exit with an error when a shell command fails? I'm not sure why it was designed this way.) This error message is caused by the following section of code at the end of git-filter-branch.sh: if [ "$(is_bare_repository)" = false ]; then unset GIT_DIR GIT_WORK_TREE GIT_INDEX_FILE test -z "$ORIG_GIT_DIR" || { GIT_DIR="$ORIG_GIT_DIR" && export GIT_DIR } ... elided ... git read-tree -u -m HEAD fi The problem is the call to $(is_bare_repository), which is made before GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE are restored. This call always returns "false", even when we're running in a bare repository. But this means that we will attempt to call 'git read-tree' even in a bare repository, which will fail and print an error. This patch modifies git-filter-branch.sh to restore the original environment variables before trying to call is_bare_repository. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-01-11filter-branch: add git_commit_non_empty_tree and --prune-empty.Pierre Habouzit
git_commit_non_empty_tree is added to the functions that can be run from commit filters. Its effect is to commit only commits actually touching the tree and that are not merge points either. The option --prune-empty is added. It defaults the commit-filter to 'git_commit_non_empty_tree "$@"', and can be used with any other combination of filters, except --commit-hook that must used 'git_commit_non_empty_tree "$@"' where one puts 'git commit-tree "$@"' usually to achieve the same result.
