While the field "flags" is mainly used by the revision walker, it is also used in many other places. Centralize the whole flag allocation to one place for a better overview (and easier to move flags if we have too).

2014-01-27Merge branch 'jk/interpret-branch-name-fix'Junio C Hamano
Fix a handful of bugs around interpreting $branch@{upstream} notation and its lookalike, when $branch part has interesting characters, e.g. "@", and ":". * jk/interpret-branch-name-fix: interpret_branch_name: find all possible @-marks interpret_branch_name: avoid @{upstream} past colon interpret_branch_name: always respect "namelen" parameter interpret_branch_name: rename "cp" variable to "at" interpret_branch_name: factor out upstream handling
2014-01-15interpret_branch_name: find all possible @-marksJeff King
When we parse a string like "foo@{upstream}", we look for the first "@"-sign, and check to see if it is an upstream mark. However, since branch names can contain an @, we may also see "@foo@{upstream}". In this case, we check only the first @, and ignore the second. As a result, we do not find the upstream. We can solve this by iterating through all @-marks in the string, and seeing if any is a legitimate upstream or empty-at mark. Another strategy would be to parse from the right-hand side of the string. However, that does not work for the "empty_at" case, which allows "@@{upstream}". We need to find the left-most one in this case (and we then recurse as "HEAD@{upstream}"). Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-01-15interpret_branch_name: avoid @{upstream} past colonJeff King
get_sha1() cannot currently parse a valid object name like "HEAD:@{upstream}" (assuming that such an oddly named file exists in the HEAD commit). It takes two passes to parse the string: 1. It first considers the whole thing as a ref, which results in looking for the upstream of "HEAD:". 2. It finds the colon, parses "HEAD" as a tree-ish, and then finds the path "@{upstream}" in the tree. For a path that looks like a normal reflog (e.g., "HEAD:@{yesterday}"), the first pass is a no-op. We try to dwim_ref("HEAD:"), that returns zero refs, and we proceed with colon-parsing. For "HEAD:@{upstream}", though, the first pass ends up in interpret_upstream_mark, which tries to find the branch "HEAD:". When it sees that the branch does not exist, it actually dies rather than returning an error to the caller. As a result, we never make it to the second pass. One obvious way of fixing this would be to teach interpret_upstream_mark to simply report "no, this isn't an upstream" in such a case. However, that would make the error-reporting for legitimate upstream cases significantly worse. Something like "bogus@{upstream}" would simply report "unknown revision: bogus@{upstream}", while the current code diagnoses a wide variety of possible misconfigurations (no such branch, branch exists but does not have upstream, etc). However, we can take advantage of the fact that a branch name cannot contain a colon. Therefore even if we find an upstream mark, any prefix with a colon must mean that the upstream mark we found is actually a pathname, and should be disregarded completely. This patch implements that logic. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-01-15interpret_branch_name: always respect "namelen" parameterJeff King
interpret_branch_name gets passed a "name" buffer to parse, along with a "namelen" parameter representing its length. If "namelen" is zero, we fallback to the NUL-terminated string-length of "name". However, it does not necessarily follow that if we have gotten a non-zero "namelen", it is the NUL-terminated string-length of "name". E.g., when get_sha1() is parsing "foo:bar", we will be asked to operate only on the first three characters. Yet in interpret_branch_name and its helpers, we use string functions like strchr() to operate on "name", looking past the length we were given. This can result in us mis-parsing object names. We should instead be limiting our search to "namelen" bytes. There are three distinct types of object names this patch addresses: - The intrepret_empty_at helper uses strchr to find the next @-expression after our potential empty-at. In an expression like "@:foo@bar", it erroneously thinks that the second "@" is relevant, even if we were asked only to look at the first character. This case is easy to trigger (and we test it in this patch). - When finding the initial @-mark for @{upstream}, we use strchr. This means we might treat "foo:@{upstream}" as the upstream for "foo:", even though we were asked only to look at "foo". We cannot test this one in practice, because it is masked by another bug (which is fixed in the next patch). - The interpret_nth_prior_checkout helper did not receive the name length at all. This turns out not to be a problem in practice, though, because its parsing is so limited: it always starts from the far-left of the string, and will not tolerate a colon (which is currently the only way to get a smaller-than-strlen "namelen"). However, it's still worth fixing to make the code more obviously correct, and to future-proof us against callers with more exotic buffers.

This function checks a few different @{}-constructs. The early part checks for and dispatches us to helpers for each construct, but the code for handling @{upstream} is inline. Let's factor this out into its own function. This makes interpret_branch_name more readable, and will make it much simpler to further refactor the function in future patches. While we're at it, let's also break apart the refactored code into a few helper functions. These will be useful if we eventually implement similar @{upstream}-like constructs.

2014-01-13Merge branch 'br/sha1-name-40-hex-no-disambiguation'Junio C Hamano
When parsing a 40-hex string into the object name, the string is checked to see if it can be interpreted as a ref so that a warning can be given for ambiguity. The code kicked in even when the core.warnambiguousrefs is set to false to squelch this warning, in which case the cycles spent to look at the ref namespace were an expensive no-op, as the result was discarded without being used. * br/sha1-name-40-hex-no-disambiguation: sha1_name: don't resolve refs when core.warnambiguousrefs is false
2014-01-07sha1_name: don't resolve refs when core.warnambiguousrefs is falseBrodie Rao
When seeing a full 40-hex object name, get_sha1_basic() unconditionally checks if the string can also be interpreted as a refname, but the result will not be used unless warn_ambiguous_refs is in effect. Omitting this unnecessary ref resolution provides a substantial performance improvement, especially when passing many hashes to a command (like "git rev-list --stdin") and core.warnambiguousrefs is set to false. The check incurs 6 stat()s for every hash supplied, which can be costly over NFS.

Typing 'HEAD' is tedious, especially when we can use '@' instead. The reason for choosing '@' is that it follows naturally from the ref@op syntax (e.g. HEAD@{u}), except we have no ref, and no operation, and when we don't have those, it makes sens to assume 'HEAD'. So now we can use 'git show @~1', and all that goody goodness. Until now '@' was a valid name, but it conflicts with this idea, so let's make it invalid.

2013-09-03peel_onion: do not assume length of x_type globalsJeff King
When we are parsing "rev^{foo}", we check "foo" against the various global type strings, like "commit_type", "tree_type", etc. This is nicely abstracted, but then we destroy the abstraction completely by using magic numbers that must match the length of the type strings. We could avoid these magic numbers by using skip_prefix. But taking a step back, we can realize that using the "commit_type" global is not really buying us anything. It is not ever going to change from being "commit" without causing severe breakage to existing uses. And even if it did change for some crazy reason, we would want to evaluate its effects on the "rev^{}" syntax, anyway. Let's just switch these to using a custom string literal, as we do for "rev^{object}". The resulting code is more robust to changes in the type strings, and is more readable.

At first glance this may not seem very useful, as commits, trees, and blobs cannot be peeled to a tag, and a tag would just peel to itself. However, this can be used to ensure that <rev> names a tag object: $ git rev-parse --verify v1.8.4^{tag} 04f013dc38d7512eadb915eba22efc414f18b869 $ git rev-parse --verify master^{tag} error: master^{tag}: expected tag type, but the object dereferences to tree type fatal: Needed a single revision Users can already ensure that <rev> is a tag object by checking the output of 'git cat-file -t <rev>', but: * users may expect <rev>^{tag} to exist given that <rev>^{commit}, <rev>^{tree}, and <rev>^{blob} all exist * this syntax is more convenient/natural in some circumstances Signed-off-by: Richard Hansen <rhansen@bbn.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-07-12cat-file: disable object/refname ambiguity check for batch modeJeff King
A common use of "cat-file --batch-check" is to feed a list of objects from "rev-list --objects" or a similar command. In this instance, all of our input objects are 40-byte sha1 ids. However, cat-file has always allowed arbitrary revision specifiers, and feeds the result to get_sha1(). Fortunately, get_sha1() recognizes a 40-byte sha1 before doing any hard work trying to look up refs, meaning this scenario should end up spending very little time converting the input into an object sha1. However, since 798c35f (get_sha1: warn about full or short object names that look like refs, 2013-05-29), when we encounter this case, we spend the extra effort to do a refname lookup anyway, just to print a warning. This is further exacerbated by ca91993 (get_packed_ref_cache: reload packed-refs file when it changes, 2013-06-20), which makes individual ref lookup more expensive by requiring a stat() of the packed-refs file for each missing ref. With no patches, this is the time it takes to run: $ git rev-list --objects --all >objects $ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname)' <objects on the linux.git repository: real 1m13.494s user 0m25.924s sys 0m47.532s If we revert ca91993, the packed-refs up-to-date check, it gets a little better: real 0m54.697s user 0m21.692s sys 0m32.916s but we are still spending quite a bit of time on ref lookup (and we would not want to revert that patch, anyway, which has correctness issues). If we revert 798c35f, disabling the warning entirely, we get a much more reasonable time: real 0m7.452s user 0m6.836s sys 0m0.608s This patch does the moral equivalent of this final case (and gets similar speedups). We introduce a global flag that callers of get_sha1() can use to avoid paying the price for the warning. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-07-09Convert "struct cache_entry *" to "const ..." wherever possibleNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
I attempted to make index_state->cache[] a "const struct cache_entry **" to find out how existing entries in index are modified and where. The question I have is what do we do if we really need to keep track of on-disk changes in the index. The result is - diff-lib.c: setting CE_UPTODATE - name-hash.c: setting CE_HASHED - preload-index.c, read-cache.c, unpack-trees.c and builtin/update-index: obvious - entry.c: write_entry() may refresh the checked out entry via fill_stat_cache_info(). This causes "non-const struct cache_entry *" in builtin/apply.c, builtin/checkout-index.c and builtin/checkout.c - builtin/ls-files.c: --with-tree changes stagemask and may set CE_UPDATE Of these, write_entry() and its call sites are probably most interesting because it modifies on-disk info. But this is stat info and can be retrieved via refresh, at least for porcelain commands. Other just uses ce_flags for local purposes. So, keeping track of "dirty" entries is just a matter of setting a flag in index modification functions exposed by read-cache.c. Except unpack-trees, the rest of the code base does not do anything funny behind read-cache's back. The actual patch is less valueable than the summary above. But if anyone wants to re-identify the above sites. Applying this patch, then this: diff --git a/cache.h b/cache.h index 430d021..1692891 100644 --- a/cache.h +++ b/cache.h @@ -267,7 +267,7 @@ static inline unsigned int canon_mode(unsigned int mode) #define cache_entry_size(len) (offsetof(struct cache_entry,name) + (len) + 1) struct index_state { - struct cache_entry **cache; + const struct cache_entry **cache; unsigned int version; unsigned int cache_nr, cache_alloc, cache_changed; struct string_list *resolve_undo; will help quickly identify them without bogus warnings.

2013-07-02get_short_sha1(): correctly disambiguate type-limited abbreviationJunio C Hamano
One test in t1512 that expects a failure incorrectly passed. The test prepares a commit whose object name begins with ten "0"s, and also prepares a tag that points at the commit. The object name of the tag also begins with ten "0"s. There is no other commit-ish object in the repository whose name begins with such a prefix. Ideally, in such a repository: $ git rev-parse --verify 0000000000^{commit} should yield that commit. If 0000000000 is taken as the commit 0000000000e4f, peeling it to a commmit yields that commit itself, and if 0000000000 is taken as the tag 0000000000f8f, peeling it to a commit also yields the same commit, so in that twisted sense, the extended SHA-1 expression 0000000000^{commit} is unambigous. The test that expects a failure is to check the above command. The reason the test expects a failure is that we did not implement such a "unification" of two candidate objects. What we did (or at least, meant to) implement was to recognise that a commit-ish is required to expand 0000000000, and notice that there are two succh commit-ish, and diagnose the request as ambiguous. However, there was a bug in the logic to check the candidate objects. When the code saw 0000000000f8f (a tag) that shared the shortened prefix (ten "0"s), it tried to make sure that the tag is a commit-ish by looking at the tag object. Because it incorrectly used lookup_object() when the tag has not been parsed, however, we incorrectly declared that the tag is _not_ a commit-ish, leaving the sole commit in the repository, 0000000000e4f, that has the required prefix as "unique match", causing the test to pass when it shouldn't. This fixes the logic to inspect the type of the object a tag refers to, to make the test that is expected to fail correctly fail. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this: 'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]' The "error: " line actually appears twice, and the rest of the error message is useless. In sha1_name.c:interpret_branch_name(), there is really no point in processing further if @{u} couldn't be resolved, and we might as well die() instead of returning an error(). After making this change, you get: $ git show @{u} fatal: No upstream configured for branch 'upstream-error' Also tweak a few tests in t1507 to expect this output. This only turns error() that may be called after we know we are dealing with an @{upstream} marker into die(), without touching silent error returns "return -1" from the function. Any caller that wants to handle an error condition itself will not be hurt by this change, unless they want to see the message from error() and then exit silently without giving its own message, which needs to be fixed anyway.

If you were on 'frotz' branch before you checked out your current branch, "git merge @{-1}~22" means the same as "git merge frotz~22". The strbuf_branchname() function, when interpret_branch_name() gives up resolving "@{-1}~22" fully, returns "frotz" and tells the caller that it only resolved "@{-1}" part of the input, mistakes this as a total failure, and appends the whole thing to the result, yielding "frotz@{-1}~22", which does not make any sense. Inspect the return value from interpret_branch_name() a bit more carefully. When it errored out without consuming anything, we will get -1 and we should return the whole thing. Otherwise, we should append the remainder (i.e. "~22" in the earlier example) to the partially resolved name (i.e. "frotz"). The test suite adds enough number of checkout to make @{-12} in the last test in t0100 that tried to check "we haven't flipped branches that many times" error case succeed; raise the number to a hundred.

2013-05-08Add new @ shortcut for HEADFelipe Contreras
Typing 'HEAD' is tedious, especially when we can use '@' instead. The reason for choosing '@' is that it follows naturally from the ref@op syntax (e.g. HEAD@{u}), except we have no ref, and no operation, and when we don't have those, it makes sens to assume 'HEAD'. So now we can use 'git show @~1', and all that goody goodness. Until now '@' was a valid name, but it conflicts with this idea, so let's make it invalid. Probably very few people, if any, used this name. Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-05-08sha1_name: refactor reinterpret()Felipe Contreras
This code essentially replaces part of ref with another ref, for example '@{-1}@{u}' is replaced with 'master@{u}', but this can be reused for other purposes other than nth prior checkouts.

2013-05-08sha1_name: reorganize get_sha1_basic()Felipe Contreras
Through the years the functionality to handle @{-N} and @{u} has moved around the code, and as a result, code that once made sense, doesn't any more. There is no need to call this function recursively with the branch of @{-N} substituted because dwim_{ref,log} already replaces it. However, there's one corner-case where @{-N} resolves to a detached HEAD, in which case we wouldn't get any ref back. So we parse the nth-prior manually, and deal with it depending on whether it's a SHA-1, or a ref.

2013-05-08sha1_name: don't waste cycles in the @-parsing loopRamkumar Ramachandra
The @-parsing loop unnecessarily checks for the sequence "@{" from (len - 2) unnecessarily. We can safely check from (len - 4). Signed-off-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-04-03Merge branch 'jc/sha1-name-object-peeler'Junio C Hamano
There was no good way to ask "I have a random string that came from outside world. I want to turn it into a 40-hex object name while making sure such an object exists". A new peeling suffix ^{object} can be used for that purpose, together with "rev-parse --verify". * jc/sha1-name-object-peeler: peel_onion(): teach $foo^{object} peeler peel_onion: disambiguate to favor tree-ish when we know we want a tree-ish
2013-03-31peel_onion(): teach $foo^{object} peelerJunio C Hamano
A string that names an object can be suffixed with ^{type} peeler to say "I have this object name; peel it until you get this type. If you cannot do so, it is an error". v1.8.2^{commit} asks for a commit that is pointed at an annotated tag v1.8.2; v1.8.2^{tree} unwraps it further to the top-level tree object. A special suffix ^{} (i.e. no type specified) means "I do not care what it unwraps to; just peel annotated tag until you get something that is not a tag". When you have a random user-supplied string, you can turn it to a bare 40-hex object name, and cause it to error out if such an object does not exist, with: git rev-parse --verify "$userstring^{}" for most objects, but this does not yield the tag object name when $userstring refers to an annotated tag. Introduce a new suffix, ^{object}, that only makes sure the given name refers to an existing object. Then git rev-parse --verify "$userstring^{object}" becomes a way to make sure $userstring refers to an existing object. This is necessary because the plumbing "rev-parse --verify" is only about "make sure the argument is something we can feed to get_sha1() and turn it into a raw 20-byte object name SHA-1" and is not about "make sure that 20-byte object name SHA-1 refers to an object that exists in our object store". When the given $userstring is already a 40-hex, by definition "rev-parse --verify $userstring" can turn it into a raw 20-byte object name. With "$userstring^{object}", we can make sure that the 40-hex string names an object that exists in our object store before "--verify" kicks in. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
