2014-08-12prepare_revision_walk(): check for return value in all placesStefan Beller
Even the documentation tells us: You should check if it returns any error (non-zero return code) and if it does not, you can start using get_revision() to do the iteration. In preparation for this commit, I grepped all occurrences of prepare_revision_walk and added error messages, when there were none.

2014-07-30use a hashmap to make remotes fasterPatrick Reynolds
Remotes are stored as an array, so looking one up or adding one without duplication is an O(n) operation. Reading an entire config file full of remotes is O(n^2) in the number of remotes. For a repository with tens of thousands of remotes, the running time can hit multiple minutes. Hash tables are way faster. So we add a hashmap from remote name to struct remote and use it for all lookups. The time to add a new remote to a repo that already has 50,000 remotes drops from ~2 minutes to < 1 second. We retain the old array of remotes so iterators proceed in config-file order.

* rs/more-starts-with: Use starts_with() for C strings instead of memcmp()
2014-06-20use skip_prefix to avoid repeating stringsJeff King
It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it with strlen, like: if (starts_with(foo, "bar")) foo += strlen("bar"); This avoids magic numbers, but means we have to repeat the string (and there is no compiler check that we didn't make a typo in one of the strings). We can use skip_prefix to handle this case without repeating ourselves. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-06-19use xstrfmt in favor of manual size calculationsJeff King
In many parts of the code, we do an ugly and error-prone malloc like: const char *fmt = "something %s"; buf = xmalloc(strlen(foo) + 10 + 1); sprintf(buf, fmt, foo); This makes the code brittle, and if we ever get the allocation wrong, is a potential heap overflow. Let's instead favor xstrfmt, which handles the allocation automatically, and makes the code shorter and more readable.

We need to consider that a remote-tracking branch may match more than one rhs of a fetch refspec. In such a case, it is not enough to stop at the first match but look at all of the matches in order to determine whether a head is stale. To this goal, introduce a variant of query_refspecs which returns all of the matching refspecs and loop over those answers to check for staleness.

2014-03-05push: detect local refspec errors earlyJeff King
When pushing, we do not even look at our push refspecs until after we have made contact with the remote receive-pack and gotten its list of refs. This means that we may go to some work, including asking the user to log in, before realizing we have simple errors like "git push origin matser". We cannot catch all refspec problems, since fully evaluating the refspecs requires knowing what the remote side has. But we can do a quick sanity check of the local side and catch a few simple error cases. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-03-05match_explicit_lhs: allow a "verify only" modeJeff King
The match_explicit_lhs function has all of the logic necessary to verify the refspecs without actually doing any work. This patch lets callers pass a NULL "match" pointer to indicate they want a "verify only" operation. For the most part, we just need to avoid writing to the NULL pointer. However, we also have to refactor the try_explicit_object_name sub-function; it indicates success by allocating and returning a new ref. Instead, we give it an "out" parameter for the match and return a numeric status. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-03-05match_explicit: hoist refspec lhs checks into their own functionJeff King

2014-02-24remote: handle pushremote config in any orderJeff King
The remote we push can be defined either by remote.pushdefault or by branch.*.pushremote for the current branch. The order in which they appear in the config file should not matter to precedence (which should be to prefer the branch-specific config). The current code parses the config linearly and uses a single string to store both values, overwriting any previous value. Thus, config like: [branch "master"] pushremote = foo [remote] pushdefault = bar erroneously ends up pushing to "bar" from the master branch. We can fix this by storing both values and resolving the correct value after all config is read. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-01-14refname_match(): always use the rules in ref_rev_parse_rulesMichael Haggerty
We used to use two separate rules for the normal ref resolution dwimming and dwimming done to decide which remote ref to grab. The third parameter to refname_match() selected which rules to use. When these two rules were harmonized in 2011-11-04 dd621df9cd refs DWIMmery: use the same rule for both "git fetch" and others , ref_fetch_rules was #defined to avoid potential breakages for in-flight topics. It is now safe to remove the backwards-compatibility code, so remove refname_match()'s third parameter, make ref_rev_parse_rules private to refs.c, and remove ref_fetch_rules entirely.

The "--tags" option to "git fetch" used to be literally a synonym to a "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" refspec, which meant that (1) as an explicit refspec given from the command line, it silenced the lazy "git fetch" default that is configured, and (2) also as an explicit refspec given from the command line, it interacted with "--prune" to remove any tag that the remote we are fetching from does not have. This demotes it to an option; with it, we fetch all tags in addition to what would be fetched without the option, and it does not interact with the decision "--prune" makes to see what remote-tracking refs the local has are missing the remote counterpart. * mh/fetch-tags-in-addition-to-normal-refs: (23 commits) fetch: improve the error messages emitted for conflicting refspecs handle_duplicate(): mark error message for translation ref_remote_duplicates(): extract a function handle_duplicate() ref_remove_duplicates(): simplify loop logic t5536: new test of refspec conflicts when fetching ref_remove_duplicates(): avoid redundant bisection git-fetch.txt: improve description of tag auto-following fetch-options.txt: simplify ifdef/ifndef/endif usage fetch, remote: properly convey --no-prune options to subprocesses builtin/remote.c:update(): use struct argv_array builtin/remote.c: reorder function definitions query_refspecs(): move some constants out of the loop fetch --prune: prune only based on explicit refspecs fetch --tags: fetch tags *in addition to* other stuff fetch: only opportunistically update references based on command line get_expanded_map(): avoid memory leak get_expanded_map(): add docstring builtin/fetch.c: reorder function definitions get_ref_map(): rename local variables api-remote.txt: correct section "struct refspec" ...

2013-12-04push: use remote.$name.push as a refmapJunio C Hamano
Since f2690487 (fetch: opportunistically update tracking refs, 2013-05-11), we stopped taking a non-storing refspec given on the command line of "git fetch" literally, and instead started mapping it via remote.$name.fetch refspecs. This allows $ git fetch origin master from the 'origin' repository, which is configured with [remote "origin"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* to update refs/remotes/origin/master with the result, as if the command line were $ git fetch origin +master:refs/remotes/origin/master to reduce surprises and improve usability. Before that change, a refspec on the command line without a colon was only to fetch the history and leave the result in FETCH_HEAD, without updating the remote-tracking branches. When you are simulating a fetch from you by your mothership with a push by you into your mothership, instead of having: [remote "satellite"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/* on the mothership repository and running: mothership$ git fetch satellite you would have: [remote "mothership"] push = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/* on your satellite machine, and run: satellite$ git push mothership Because we so far did not make the corresponding change to the push side, this command: satellite$ git push mothership master does _not_ allow you on the satellite to only push 'master' out but still to the usual destination (i.e. refs/remotes/satellite/master). Implement the logic to map an unqualified refspec given on the command line via the remote.$name.push refspec. This will bring a bit more symmetry between "fetch" and "push".

2013-10-30ref_remove_duplicates(): avoid redundant bisectionMichael Haggerty
The old code called string_list_lookup(), and if that failed called string_list_insert(), thus doing the bisection search through the string list twice in the latter code path. Instead, just call string_list_insert() right away. If an entry for that peer reference name already existed, then its util pointer is always non-NULL. Of course this doesn't change the fact that the repeated string_list_insert() calls make the function scale like O(N^2) if the input reference list is not already approximately sorted.

Our default_remote_name starts at "origin", but may be overridden by the config file. In the former case, we allocate a new string, but in the latter case, we point to the remote name in an existing "struct branch". This gives the variable inconsistent free() semantics (we are sometimes responsible for freeing the string and sometimes pointing to somebody else's storage), and causes a small leak when the allocated string is overridden by config.

Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force", by requiring that the overwritten remote ref to be unchanged since the new history to replace it was prepared. The machinery is more or less ready. The "--force" option is again the big red button to override any safety, thanks to J6t's sanity (the original round allowed --lockref to defeat --force). The logic to choose the default implemented here is fragile (e.g. "git fetch" after seeing a failure will update the remote-tracking branch and will make the next "push" pass, defeating the safety pretty easily).

2013-08-26status: always show tracking branch even no changeJiang Xin
In order to see what the current branch is tracking, one way is using "git branch -v -v", but branches other than the current are also reported. Another way is using "git status", such as: $ git status # On branch master # Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit. ... But this will not work if there is no change between the current branch and its upstream. Always report upstream tracking info even if there is no difference, so that "git status" is consistent for checking tracking info for current branch. E.g. $ git status # On branch feature1 # Your branch is up-to-date with 'github/feature1'. ... $ git status -bs ## feature1...github/feature1 ... $ git checkout feature1 Already on 'feature1' Your branch is up-to-date with 'github/feature1'. ...

2013-08-26branch: report invalid tracking branch as goneJiang Xin
Command "git branch -vv" will report tracking branches, but invalid tracking branches are also reported. This is because the function stat_tracking_info() can not distinguish invalid tracking branch from other cases which it would not like to report, such as there is no upstream settings at all, or nothing is changed between one branch and its upstream. Junio suggested missing upstream should be reported [1] like: $ git branch -v -v master e67ac84 initial * topic 3fc0f2a [topicbase: gone] topic $ git status # On branch topic # Your branch is based on 'topicbase', but the upstream is gone. # (use "git branch --unset-upstream" to fixup) ... $ git status -b -s ## topic...topicbase [gone] ... In order to do like that, we need to distinguish these three cases (i.e. no tracking, with configured but no longer valid tracking, and with tracking) in function stat_tracking_info(). So the refactored function stat_tracking_info() has three return values: -1 (with "gone" base), 0 (no base), and 1 (with base). If the caller does not like to report tracking info when nothing changed between the branch and its upstream, simply checks if num_theirs and num_ours are both 0.

2013-07-23push --force-with-lease: implement logic to populate old_sha1_expect[]Junio C Hamano
This plugs the push_cas_option data collected by the command line option parser to the transport system with a new function apply_push_cas(), which is called after match_push_refs() has already been called. At this point, we know which remote we are talking to, and what remote refs we are going to update, so we can fill in the details that may have been missing from the command line, such as (1) what abbreviated refname the user gave us matches the actual refname at the remote; and (2) which remote-tracking branch in our local repository to read the value of the object to expect at the remote. to populate the old_sha1_expect[] field of each of the remote ref. As stated in the documentation, the use of remote-tracking branch as the default is a tentative one, and we may come up with a better logic as we gain experience. Still nobody uses this information, which is the topic of the next patch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-07-23remote.c: add command line option parser for "--force-with-lease"Junio C Hamano
Update "git push" and "git send-pack" to parse this commnd line option. The intended sematics is: * "--force-with-lease" alone, without specifying the details, will protect _all_ remote refs that are going to be updated by requiring their current value to be the same as some reasonable default, unless otherwise specified; * "--force-with-lease=refname", without specifying the expected value, will protect that refname, if it is going to be updated, by requiring its current value to be the same as some reasonable default. * "--force-with-lease=refname:value" will protect that refname, if it is going to be updated, by requiring its current value to be the same as the specified value; and * "--no-force-with-lease" will cancel all the previous --force-with-lease on the command line. For now, "some reasonable default" is tentatively defined as "the value of the remote-tracking branch we have for the ref of the remote being updated", and it is an error if we do not have such a remote-tracking branch. But this is known to be fragile, its use is not yet recommended, and hopefully we will find more reasonable default as we gain experience with this feature. The manual marks the feature as experimental unless the expected value is specified explicitly for this reason. Because the command line options are parsed _before_ we know which remote we are pushing to, there needs further processing to the parsed data after we instantiate the transport object to: * expand "refname" given by the user to a full refname to be matched with the list of "struct ref" used in match_push_refs() and set_ref_status_for_push(); and * learning the actual local ref that is the remote-tracking branch for the specified remote ref. Further, some processing need to be deferred until we find the set of remote refs and match_push_refs() returns in order to find the ones that need to be checked after explicit ones have been processed for "--force-with-lease" (no specific details). These post-processing will be the topic of the next patch. This option was originally called "cas" (for "compare and swap"), the name which nobody liked because it was too technical. The second attempt called it "lockref" (because it is conceptually like pushing after taking a lock) but the word "lock" was hated because it implied that it may reject push by others, which is not the way this option works. This round calls it "force-with-lease". You assume you took the lease on the ref when you fetched to decide what the rebased history should be, and you can push back only if the lease has not been broken.

2013-07-18fetch: make --prune configurableMichael Schubert
Without "git fetch --prune", remote-tracking branches for a branch the other side already has removed will stay forever. Some people want to always run "git fetch --prune". To accommodate users who want to either prune always or when fetching from a particular remote, add two new configuration variables "fetch.prune" and "remote.<name>.prune": - "fetch.prune" allows to enable prune for all fetch operations. - "remote.<name>.prune" allows to change the behaviour per remote. The latter will naturally override the former, and the --[no-]prune option from the command line will override the configured default. Since --prune is a potentially destructive operation (Git doesn't keep reflogs for deleted references yet), we don't want to prune without users consent, so this configuration will not be on by default.
