2017-03-24Merge branch 'jn/remote-helpers-with-git-dir' into maintJunio C Hamano
"git ls-remote" and "git archive --remote" are designed to work without being in a directory under Git's control. However, recent updates revealed that we randomly look into a directory called .git/ without actually doing necessary set-up when working in a repository. Stop doing so. * jn/remote-helpers-with-git-dir: remote helpers: avoid blind fall-back to ".git" when setting GIT_DIR remote: avoid reading $GIT_DIR config in non-repo
2017-02-14remote: avoid reading $GIT_DIR config in non-repoJeff King
The "git ls-remote" command can be run outside of a repository, but needs to look up configured remotes. The config code is smart enough to handle this case itself, but we also check the historical "branches" and "remotes" paths in $GIT_DIR. The git_path() function causes us to blindly look at ".git/remotes", even if we know we aren't in a git repository. For now, this is just an unlikely bug (you probably don't have such a file if you're not in a repository), but it will become more obvious once we merge b1ef400ee (setup_git_env: avoid blind fall-back to ".git", 2016-10-20): [now] $ git ls-remote fatal: No remote configured to list refs from. [with b1ef400ee] $ git ls-remote fatal: BUG: setup_git_env called without repository We can fix this by skipping these sources entirely when we're outside of a repository. The test is a little more complex than the demonstration above. Rather than detect the correct behavior by parsing the error message, we can actually set up a case where the remote name we give is a valid repository, but b1ef400ee would cause us to die in the configuration step. This test doesn't fail now, but it future-proofs us for the b1ef400ee change. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-01-31Merge branch 'js/remote-rename-with-half-configured-remote'Junio C Hamano
With anticipatory tweaking for remotes defined in ~/.gitconfig (e.g. "remote.origin.prune" set to true, even though there may or may not actually be "origin" remote defined in a particular Git repository), "git remote rename" and other commands misinterpreted and behaved as if such a non-existing remote actually existed. * js/remote-rename-with-half-configured-remote: remote rename: more carefully determine whether a remote is configured remote rename: demonstrate a bogus "remote exists" bug
2017-01-19remote rename: more carefully determine whether a remote is configuredJohannes Schindelin
One of the really nice features of the ~/.gitconfig file is that users can override defaults by their own preferred settings for all of their repositories. One such default that some users like to override is whether the "origin" remote gets auto-pruned or not. The user would simply call git config --global remote.origin.prune true and from now on all "origin" remotes would be pruned automatically when fetching into the local repository. There is just one catch: now Git thinks that the "origin" remote is configured, even if the repository config has no [remote "origin"] section at all, as it does not realize that the "prune" setting was configured globally and that there really is no "origin" remote configured in this repository. That is a problem e.g. when renaming a remote to a new name, when Git may be fooled into thinking that there is already a remote of that new name. Let's fix this by paying more attention to *where* the remote settings came from: if they are configured in the local repository config, we must not overwrite them. If they were configured elsewhere, we cannot overwrite them to begin with, as we only write the repository config. There is only one caller of remote_is_configured() (in `git fetch`) that may want to take remotes into account even if they were configured outside the repository config; all other callers essentially try to prevent the Git command from overwriting settings in the repository config. To accommodate that fact, the remote_is_configured() function now requires a parameter that states whether the caller is interested in all remotes, or only in those that were configured in the repository config.

"git push --force-with-lease" already had enough logic to allow ensuring that such a push results in creation of a ref (i.e. the receiving end did not have another push from sideways that would be discarded by our force-pushing), but didn't expose this possibility to the users.

If there is no upstream information for a branch, it is likely that it is newly created and can safely be pushed under the normal fast-forward rules. Relax the --force-with-lease check so that we do not reject these branches immediately but rather attempt to push them as new branches, using the null SHA-1 as the expected value. In fact, it is already possible to push new branches using the explicit --force-with-lease=<branch>:<expect> syntax, so all we do here is make this behaviour the default if no explicit "expect" value is specified.

2016-03-07remote: don't resolve HEAD in non-repositoryJeff King
The remote-config code wants to look at HEAD to mark the current branch specially. But if we are not in a repository (e.g., running "git archive --remote"), this makes no sense; there is no HEAD to look at, and we have no current branch. This doesn't really cause any bugs in practice (if you are not in a repo, you probably don't have a .git/HEAD file), but we should be more careful about triggering the refs code at all in a non-repo.

In addition, it only checks the configuration for remotes, but not remotes or branches files. Make use of the origin member of struct remote instead, which indicates where the remote comes from. It will be set to some value if the remote is configured in any file in the repository, but is initialized to 0 if the remote is only created in make_remote().

2016-01-15strbuf: introduce strbuf_getline_{lf,nul}()Junio C Hamano
The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged. By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter. This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(), namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of them. The changes contained in this patch are: * introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch] * mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the respective thin wrapper. After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take over the shorter name strbuf_getline(). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-09-25read_remotes_file: simplify string handlingJeff King
The main motivation for this cleanup is to switch our line-reading to a strbuf, which removes the use of a fixed-size buffer (which limited the size of remote URLs). Since we have the strbuf, we can make use of strbuf_rtrim(). While we're here, we can also simplify the parsing of each line. First, we can use skip_prefix() to avoid some magic numbers. But second, we can avoid splitting the parsing and actions for each line into two stages. Right now we figure out which type of line we have, set an int to a magic number, skip any intermediate whitespace, and then act on the resulting value based on the magic number. Instead, let's factor the whitespace skipping into a function. That lets us avoid the magic numbers and keep the actions close to the parsing.

2015-09-25read_branches_file: simplify string handlingJeff King
This function does a lot of manual string handling, and has some unnecessary limits. This patch cleans up a number of things: 1. Drop the arbitrary 1000-byte limit on the size of the remote name (we do not have such a limit in any of the other remote-reading mechanisms). 2. Replace fgets into a fixed-size buffer with a strbuf, eliminating any limits on the length of the URL. 3. Replace manual whitespace handling with strbuf_trim (since we now have a strbuf). This also gets rid of a call to strcpy, and the confusing reuse of the "p" pointer for multiple purposes. 4. We currently build up the refspecs over multiple strbuf calls. We do this to handle the fact that the URL "frag" may not be present. But rather than have multiple conditionals, let's just default "frag" to "master". This lets us format the refspecs with a single xstrfmt. It's shorter, and easier to see what the final string looks like. We also update the misleading comment in this area (the local branch is named after the remote name, not after the branch name on the remote side).

Change typedef each_ref_fn to take a "const struct object_id *oid" parameter instead of "const unsigned char *sha1". To aid this transition, implement an adapter that can be used to wrap old-style functions matching the old typedef, which is now called "each_ref_sha1_fn"), and make such functions callable via the new interface. This requires the old function and its cb_data to be wrapped in a "struct each_ref_fn_sha1_adapter", and that object to be used as the cb_data for an adapter function, each_ref_fn_adapter(). This is an enormous diff, but most of it consists of simple, mechanical changes to the sites that call any of the "for_each_ref" family of functions.

2015-05-22remote.c: add branch_get_pushJeff King
In a triangular workflow, the place you pull from and the place you push to may be different. As we have branch_get_upstream for the former, this patch adds branch_get_push for the latter (and as the former implements @{upstream}, so will this implement @{push} in a future patch). Note that the memory-handling for the return value bears some explanation. Some code paths require allocating a new string, and some let us return an existing string. We should provide a consistent interface to the caller, so it knows whether to free the result or not. We could do so by xstrdup-ing any existing strings, and having the caller always free. But that makes us inconsistent with branch_get_upstream, so we would prefer to simply take ownership of the resulting string. We do so by storing it inside the "struct branch", just as we do with the upstream refname (in that case we compute it when the branch is created, but there's no reason not to just fill it in lazily in this case).

2015-05-22remote.c: return upstream name from stat_tracking_infoJeff King
After calling stat_tracking_info, callers often want to print the name of the upstream branch (in addition to the tracking count). To do this, they have to access branch->merge->dst[0] themselves. This is not wrong, as the return value from stat_tracking_info tells us whether we have an upstream branch or not. But it is a bit leaky, as we make an assumption about how it calculated the upstream name. Instead, let's add an out-parameter that lets the caller know the upstream name we found. As a bonus, we can get rid of the unusual tri-state return from the function. We no longer need to use it to differentiate between "no tracking config" and "tracking ref does not exist" (since you can check the upstream_name for that), so we can just use the usual 0/-1 convention for success/error.

However, because we check all error cases and upfront and then later diagnose them, the logic is a bit tangled. In particular: - if branch->merge[0] is NULL, we may end up dereferencing it for an error message (in practice, it should never be NULL, so this is probably not a triggerable bug). - We may enter the code path because branch->merge[0]->dst is NULL, but we then start our error diagnosis by checking whether our local branch exists. But that is only relevant to diagnosing missing merge config, not a missing tracking ref; our diagnosis may hide the real problem. Instead, let's just use a sequence of "if" blocks to check for each error type, diagnose it, and return NULL.

2015-05-21remote.c: report specific errors from branch_get_upstreamJeff King
When the previous commit introduced the branch_get_upstream helper, there was one call-site that could not be converted: the one in sha1_name.c, which gives detailed error messages for each possible failure. Let's teach the helper to optionally report these specific errors. This lets us convert another callsite, and means we can use the helper in other locations that want to give the same error messages. The logic and error messages come straight from sha1_name.c, with the exception that we start each error with a lowercase letter, as is our usual style (note that a few tests need updated as a result).

2015-05-21remote.c: introduce branch_get_upstream helperJeff King
All of the information needed to find the @{upstream} of a branch is included in the branch struct, but callers have to navigate a series of possible-NULL values to get there. Let's wrap that logic up in an easy-to-read helper. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
