2017-09-06set_git_dir: handle feeding gitdir to itselfJeff King
Ideally we'd free the existing gitdir field before assigning the new one, to avoid a memory leak. But we can't do so safely because some callers do the equivalent of: set_git_dir(get_git_dir()); We can detect that case as a noop, but there are even more complicated cases like: set_git_dir(remove_leading_path(worktree, get_git_dir()); where we really do need to do some work, but the original string must remain valid. Rather than put the burden on callers to make a copy of the string (only to free it later, since we'll make a copy of it ourselves), let's solve the problem inside set_git_dir(). We can make a copy of the pointer for the old gitdir, and then avoid freeing it until after we've made our new copy.

2017-09-06repository: free fields before overwriting themJeff King
It's possible that the repository data may be initialized twice (e.g., after doing a chdir() to the top of the worktree we may have to adjust a relative git_dir path). We should free() any existing fields before assigning to them to avoid leaks. This should be safe, as the fields are set based on the environment or on other strings like the gitdir or commondir. That makes it impossible that we are feeding an alias to the just-freed string. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-08-22Merge branch 'bw/grep-recurse-submodules'Junio C Hamano
"git grep --recurse-submodules" has been reworked to give a more consistent output across submodule boundary (and do its thing without having to fork a separate process). * bw/grep-recurse-submodules: grep: recurse in-process using 'struct repository' submodule: merge repo_read_gitmodules and gitmodules_config submodule: check for unmerged .gitmodules outside of config parsing submodule: check for unstaged .gitmodules outside of config parsing submodule: remove fetch.recursesubmodules from submodule-config parsing submodule: remove submodule.fetchjobs from submodule-config parsing config: add config_from_gitmodules cache.h: add GITMODULES_FILE macro repository: have the_repository use the_index repo_read_index: don't discard the index
2017-07-18repository: have the_repository use the_indexBrandon Williams
Have the index state which is stored in 'the_repository' be a pointer to the in-core index 'the_index'. This makes it easier to begin transitioning more parts of the code base to operate on a 'struct repository'.

2017-07-18repo_read_index: don't discard the indexBrandon Williams
Have 'repo_read_index()' behave more like the other read_index family of functions and don't discard the index if it has already been populated and instead rely on the quick return of read_index_from which has: /* istate->initialized covers both .git/index and .git/sharedindex.xxx */ if (istate->initialized) return istate->cache_nr; Signed-off-by: Brandon Williams <bmwill@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-06-24repository: enable initialization of submodulesBrandon Williams
Introduce 'repo_submodule_init()' which performs initialization of a 'struct repository' as a submodule of another 'struct repository'. The resulting submodule 'struct repository' can be in one of three states: 1. The submodule is initialized and has a worktree. 2. The submodule is initialized but does not have a worktree. This would occur when the submodule's gitdir is present in the superproject's 'gitdir/modules/' directory yet the submodule has not been checked out in superproject's worktree. 3. The submodule remains uninitialized due to an error in the initialization process or there is no matching submodule at the provided path in the superproject.

2017-06-24submodule-config: store the_submodule_cache in the_repositoryBrandon Williams

2017-06-24config: read config from a repository objectBrandon Williams
Teach the config machinery to read config information from a repository object. This involves storing a 'struct config_set' inside the repository object and adding a number of functions (repo_config*) to be able to query a repository's config. The current config API enables lazy-loading of the config. This means that when 'git_config_get_int()' is called, if the_config_set hasn't been populated yet, then it will be populated and properly initialized by reading the necessary config files (system wide .gitconfig, user's home .gitconfig, and the repository's config). To maintain this paradigm, the new API to read from a repository object's config will also perform this lazy-initialization. Since both APIs (git_config_get* and repo_config_get*) have the same semantics we can migrate the default config to be stored within 'the_repository' and just have the 'git_config_get*' family of functions redirect to the 'repo_config_get*' functions.

2017-06-24repository: introduce the repository objectBrandon Williams
Introduce the repository object 'struct repository' which can be used to hold all state pertaining to a git repository. Some of the benefits of object-ifying a repository are: 1. Make the code base more readable and easier to reason about. 2. Allow for working on multiple repositories, specifically submodules, within the same process. Currently the process for working on a submodule involves setting up an argv_array of options for a particular command and then launching a child process to execute the command in the context of the submodule. This is clunky and can require lots of little hacks in order to ensure correctness. Ideally it would be nice to simply pass a repository and an options struct to a command. 3. Eliminating reliance on global state will make it easier to enable the use of threading to improve performance.
