2015-09-01refs: make refs/bisect/* per-worktreeDavid Turner
We need the place we stick refs for bisects in progress to not be shared between worktrees. So we make the refs/bisect/ hierarchy per-worktree. The is_per_worktree_ref function and associated docs learn that refs/bisect/ is per-worktree, as does the git_path code in path.c The ref-packing functions learn that per-worktree refs should not be packed (since packed-refs is common rather than per-worktree). Since refs/bisect is per-worktree, logs/refs/bisect should be too. Signed-off-by: David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Tests that assume how reflogs are represented on the filesystem too much have been corrected. * dt/reflog-tests: tests: remove some direct access to .git/logs t/t7509: remove unnecessary manipulation of reflog
2015-07-28tests: remove some direct access to .git/logsDavid Turner
Alternate refs backends might store reflogs somewhere other than .git/logs. Change most test code that directly accesses .git/logs to instead use git reflog commands. There are still a few tests which need direct access to reflogs: to check reflog permissions, to manually create reflogs from scratch, to save/restore reflogs, to check the format of raw reflog data, and to remove not just reflog contents, but the reflogs themselves. All cases which don't need direct access have been modified. Signed-off-by: David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-07-21update-ref and tag: add --create-reflog argDavid Turner
Allow the creation of a ref (e.g. stash) with a reflog already in place. For most refs (e.g. those under refs/heads), this happens automatically, but for others, we need this option. Currently, git does this by pre-creating the reflog, but alternate ref backends might store reflogs somewhere other than .git/logs. Code that now directly manipulates .git/logs should instead use git plumbing commands. I also added --create-reflog to git tag, just for completeness. In a moment, we will use this argument to make git stash work with alternate ref backends. Signed-off-by: David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-05-13ref_transaction_commit(): fix atomicity and avoid fd exhaustionMichael Haggerty
The old code was roughly for update in updates: acquire locks and check old_sha for update in updates: if changing value: write_ref_to_lockfile() commit_ref_update() for update in updates: if deleting value: unlink() rewrite packed-refs file for update in updates: if reference still locked: unlock_ref() This has two problems. Non-atomic updates ================== The atomicity of the reference transaction depends on all pre-checks being done in the first loop, before any changes have started being committed in the second loop. The problem is that write_ref_to_lockfile() (previously part of write_ref_sha1()), which is called from the second loop, contains two more checks: * It verifies that new_sha1 is a valid object * If the reference being updated is a branch, it verifies that new_sha1 points at a commit object (as opposed to a tag, tree, or blob). If either of these checks fails, the "transaction" is aborted during the second loop. But this might happen after some reference updates have already been permanently committed. In other words, the all-or-nothing promise of "git update-ref --stdin" could be violated. So these checks have to be moved to the first loop. File descriptor exhaustion ========================== The old code locked all of the references in the first loop, leaving all of the lockfiles open until later loops. Since we might be updating a lot of references, this could result in file descriptor exhaustion. The solution ============ After this patch, the code looks like for update in updates: acquire locks and check old_sha if changing value: write_ref_to_lockfile() else: close_ref() for update in updates: if changing value: commit_ref_update() for update in updates: if deleting value: unlink() rewrite packed-refs file for update in updates: if reference still locked: unlock_ref() This fixes both problems: 1. The pre-checks in write_ref_to_lockfile() are now done in the first loop, before any changes have been committed. If any of the checks fails, the whole transaction can now be rolled back correctly. 2. All lockfiles are closed in the first loop immediately after they are created (either by write_ref_to_lockfile() or by close_ref()). This means that there is never more than one open lockfile at a time, preventing file descriptor exhaustion. To simplify the bookkeeping across loops, add a new REF_NEEDS_COMMIT bit to update->flags, which keeps track of whether the corresponding lockfile needs to be committed, as opposed to just unlocked. (Since "struct ref_update" is internal to the refs module, this change is not visible to external callers.) This change fixes two tests in t1400.

2014-12-11update-ref: fix "verify" command with missing <oldvalue>Michael Haggerty
If "git update-ref --stdin" was given a "verify" command with no "<newvalue>" at all (not even zeros), the code was mistakenly setting have_old=0 (and leaving old_sha1 uninitialized). But this is incorrect: this command is supposed to verify that the reference doesn't exist. So in this case we really need old_sha1 to be set to null_sha1 and have_old to be set to 1. Moreover, since have_old was being set to zero, *no* check of the old value was being done, so the new value of the reference was being set unconditionally to the value in new_sha1. new_sha1, in turn, was set to null_sha1 in the expectation that that was the old value and it shouldn't be changed. But because the precondition was not being checked, the result was that the reference was being deleted unconditionally. So, if <oldvalue> is missing, set have_old unconditionally and set old_sha1 to null_sha1.

2014-06-03refs.c: change read_ref_at to use the reflog iteratorsRonnie Sahlberg
read_ref_at has its own parsing of the reflog file for no really good reason so lets change this to use the existing reflog iterators. This removes one instance where we manually unmarshall the reflog file format. Remove the now redundant ref_msg function. Log messages for errors are changed slightly. We no longer print the file name for the reflog, instead we refer to it as 'Log for ref <refname>'. This might be a minor useability regression, but I don't really think so, since experienced users would know where the log is anyway and inexperienced users would not know what to do about/how to repair 'Log ... has gap ...' anyway.

In the original version of this command, for the single case of the "update" command's <newvalue>, the empty string was interpreted as being equivalent to 40 "0"s. This shorthand is unnecessary (binary input will usually be generated programmatically anyway), and it complicates the parser and the documentation. So gently deprecate this usage: remove its description from the documentation and emit a warning if it is found. But for reasons of backwards compatibility, continue to accept it.

2014-04-07update-ref.c: extract a new function, parse_next_sha1()Michael Haggerty
Replace three functions, update_store_new_sha1(), update_store_old_sha1(), and parse_next_arg(), with a single function, parse_next_sha1(). The new function takes care of a whole argument, including checking whether it is there, converting it to an SHA-1, and emitting errors on EOF or for invalid values. The return value indicates whether the argument was present or absent, which requires a bit of intelligence because absent values are represented differently depending on whether "-z" was used. The new interface means that the calling functions, parse_cmd_*(), don't have to interpret the result differently based on the line_termination mode that is in effect. It also means that parse_cmd_create() can distinguish unambiguously between an empty new value and a zeros new value, which fixes a failure in t1400.

2014-04-07parse_arg(): really test that argument is properly terminatedMichael Haggerty
The old parse_arg(), when fed an argument "refs/heads/a"master parsed 'refs/heads/a' off of the front of the argument and considered itself successful. It was only when parse_next_arg() tried to parse the *next* argument that a problem was noticed. But in fact, the definition of the input format requires arguments to be terminated by SP or NUL, so *this* argument is already erroneous and parse_arg() should diagnose the problem. So teach parse_arg() to verify that C-quoted arguments are terminated correctly. If not, emit a more specific error message. There is no corresponding error case of a non-C-quoted argument that is not terminated correctly, because the end of a non-quoted argument is *by definition* a space or NUL, so there is no way to insert other junk between the "end" of the argument and the argument terminator. Adjust the tests to expect the new error message. Add a docstring to the function, incorporating the comments that were formerly within the function plus some added information.

2008-07-08avoid null SHA1 in oldest reflogJeff King
When the user specifies a ref by a reflog entry older than one we have (e.g., "HEAD@{20 years ago"}), we issue a warning and give them the "from" value of the oldest reflog entry. That is, we say "we don't know what happened before this entry, but before this we know we had some particular SHA1". However, the oldest reflog entry is often a creation event such as clone or branch creation. In this case, the entry claims that the ref went from "00000..." (the null sha1) to the new value, and the reflog lookup returns the null sha1. While this is technically correct (the entry tells us that the ref didn't exist at the specified time) it is not terribly useful to the end user. What they probably want instead is "the oldest useful sha1 that this ref ever had". This patch changes the behavior such that if the oldest ref would return the null sha1, it instead returns the first value the ref ever had. We never discovered this problem in the test scripts because we created "fake" reflogs that had only a specified segment of history. This patch updates the tests with a creation event at the beginning of history. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Acked-by: Shawn O.

2008-02-02Sane use of test_expect_failureJunio C Hamano
Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision. Most tests run a series of commands that leads to the single command that needs to be tested, like this: test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' ' setup1 && setup2 && setup3 && what is to be tested ' And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the point of writing tests. Your setup$N that are supposed to succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are trying to test. The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands. This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is tested, like this: test_expect_success 'test title' ' setup1 && setup2 && setup3 && ! this command should fail ' test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it currently does not pass. So if git-foo command should create a file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can write a test like this: test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' ' rm -f bar && git foo && test -f bar ' This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

2008-01-16Be more careful about updating refsLinus Torvalds
This makes write_ref_sha1() more careful: it actually checks the SHA1 of the ref it is updating, and refuses to update a ref with an object that it cannot find. Perhaps more importantly, it also refuses to update a branch head with a non-commit object. I don't quite know *how* the stable series maintainers were able to corrupt their repository to have a HEAD that pointed to a tag rather than a commit object, but they did. Which results in a totally broken repository that cannot be cloned or committed on. So make it harder for people to shoot themselves in the foot like that. The test t1400-update-ref.sh is fixed at the same time, as it assumed that the commands involved in the particular test would not care about corrupted repositories whose refs point at nonexistant bogus objects. That assumption does not hold true anymore. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-11-09stop t1400 hiding errors in testsAlex Riesen
The last rm in the test was lacking an "&&" before it, which caused the errors in the commands be silently hidden. Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen <raa.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-09-06Cleanup unnecessary file modifications in t1400-update-refShawn O. Pearce
Kristian Høgsberg pointed out that the two file modifications we were doing during the 'creating initial files' step are not even used within the test suite. This was actually confusing as we do not even need these changes for the tests to pass. All that really matters here is the specific commit dates are used so that these appear in the branch's reflog, and that the dates are different so that the branch will update when asked and the reflog entry is also updated. There is no need for the file modification. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
