"git update-ref -d" and other operations to delete references did
not leave any entry in HEAD's reflog when the reference being
deleted was the current branch. This is not a problem in practice
because you do not want to delete the branch you are currently on,
but caused renaming of the current branch to something else not to
be logged in a useful way.
* km/delete-ref-reflog-message:
branch: record creation of renamed branch in HEAD's log
rename_ref: replace empty message in HEAD's log
update-ref: pass reflog message to delete_ref()
delete_ref: accept a reflog message argument
|
|
When the current branch is renamed with 'git branch -m/-M' or deleted
with 'git update-ref -m<msg> -d', the event is recorded in HEAD's log
with an empty message. In preparation for adding a more meaningful
message to HEAD's log in these cases, update delete_ref() to take a
message argument and pass it along to ref_transaction_delete().
Modify all callers to pass NULL for the new message argument; no
change in behavior is intended.
Note that this is relevant for HEAD's log but not for the deleted
ref's log, which is currently deleted along with the ref. Even if it
were not, an entry for the deletion wouldn't be present in the deleted
ref's log. files_transaction_commit() writes to the log if
REF_NEEDS_COMMIT or REF_LOG_ONLY are set, but lock_ref_for_update()
doesn't set REF_NEEDS_COMMIT for the deleted ref because REF_DELETING
is set. In contrast, the update for HEAD has REF_LOG_ONLY set by
split_head_update(), resulting in the deletion being logged.

The current method for getting the refs from an alternate is
to run upload-pack in the alternate and parse its output
using the normal transport code. This works and is
reasonably short, but it has a very bad memory footprint
when there are a lot of refs in the alternate. There are two
problems:
1. It reads in all of the refs before passing any back to
us. Which means that our peak memory usage has to store
every ref (including duplicates for peeled variants),
even if our callback could determine that some are not
interesting (e.g., because they point to the same sha1
as another ref).
2. It allocates a "struct ref" for each one. Among other
things, this contains 3 separate 20-byte oids, along
with the name and various pointers. That can add up,
especially if the callback is only interested in the
sha1 (which it can store in a sha1_array as just 20
bytes).
On a particularly pathological case, where the alternate had
over 80 million refs pointing to only around 60,000 unique
objects, the peak heap usage of "git clone --reference" grew
to over 25GB.
This patch instead calls git-for-each-ref in the alternate
repository, and passes each line to the callback as we read
it. That drops the peak heap of the same command to 50MB.
I considered and rejected a few alternatives.
We could read all of the refs in the alternate using our own
ref code, just as we do with submodules. However, as memory
footprint is one of the concerns here, we want to avoid
loading those refs into our own memory as a whole.
It's possible that this will be a better technique in the
future when the ref code can more easily iterate without
loading all of packed-refs into memory.
Another option is to keep calling upload-pack, and just
parse its output ourselves in a streaming fashion. Besides
for-each-ref being simpler (we get to define the format
ourselves, and don't have to deal with speaking the git
protocol), it's more flexible for possible future changes.
For instance, it might be useful for the caller to be able
to limit the set of "interesting" alternate refs. The
motivating example is one where many "forks" of a particular
repository share object storage, and the shared storage has
refs for each fork (which is why so many of the refs are
duplicates; each fork has the same tags). A plausible
future optimization would be to ask for the alternate refs
for just _one_ fork (if you had some out-of-band way of
knowing which was the most interesting or important for the
current operation).
Similarly, no callbacks actually care about the symref value
of alternate refs, and as before, this patch ignores them
entirely. However, if we wanted to add them, for-each-ref's
"%(symref)" is going to be more flexible than upload-pack,
because the latter only handles the HEAD symref due to
historical constraints.
There is one potential downside, though: unlike upload-pack,
our for-each-ref command doesn't report the peeled value of
refs. The existing code calls the alternate_ref_fn callback
twice for tags: once for the tag, and once for the peeled
value with the refname set to "ref^{}".
For the callers in fetch-pack, this doesn't matter at all.
We immediately peel each tag down to a commit either way (so
there's a slight improvement, as do not bother passing the
redundant data over the pipe). For the caller in
receive-pack, it means we will not advertise the peeled
values of tags in our alternate. However, we also don't
advertise peeled values for our _own_ tags, so this is
actually making things more consistent.
It's unclear whether receive-pack advertising peeled values
is a win or not. On one hand, giving more information to the
other side may let it omit some objects from the push. On
the other hand, for tags which both sides have, they simply
bloat the advertisement. The upload-pack advertisement of
git.git is about 30% larger than the receive-pack
advertisement due to its peeled information.
This patch omits the peeled information from
for_each_alternate_ref entirely, and leaves it up to the
caller whether they want to dig up the information.

Breaking down the fields in the interface makes it easier to
change the backend of for_each_alternate_ref to something
that doesn't use "struct ref" internally.
The only field that callers actually look at is the oid,
anyway. The refname is kept in the interface as a plausible
thing for future code to want.

We have a string with ".../objects" pointing to the
alternate object store, and overwrite bits of it to look at
other paths in the (potential) git repository holding it.
This works because the only path we care about is "refs",
which is shorter than "objects".
Using a strbuf to hold the path lets us get rid of some
magic numbers, and makes it more obvious that the memory
operations are safe.

The real_pathdup() function will have removed extra slashes
for us already (on top of the normalize_path() done when we
created the alternate_object_database struct in the first
place).
Incidentally, this also fixes the case where the path is
just "/", which would read off the start of the array.
That doesn't seem possible to trigger in practice, though,
as link_alt_odb_entry() blindly eats trailing slashes,
including a bare "/".

In older versions of git, if real_path() failed to resolve
the alternate object store path, we would die() with an
error. However, since 4ac9006f8 (real_path: have callers use
real_pathdup and strbuf_realpath, 2016-12-12) we use the
real_pathdup() function, which may return NULL. Since we
don't check the return value, we can segfault.
This is hard to trigger in practice, since we check that the
path is accessible before creating the alternate_object_database
struct. But it could be removed racily, or we could see a
transient filesystem error.
We could restore the original behavior by switching back to
xstrdup(real_path()). However, dying is probably not the
best option here. This whole function is best-effort
already; there might not even be a repository around the
shared objects at all. And if the alternate store has gone
away, there are no objects to show.
So let's just quietly return, as we would if we failed to
open "refs/", or if upload-pack failed to start, etc.

Teach push the --recurse-submodules=only option. This enables push
to recursively push all unpushed submodules while leaving the
superproject unpushed.
This is a desirable feature in a scenario where updates to the
superproject are handled automatically by some other means, perhaps
a tool like Gerrit code review. In this scenario, a developer could
make a change which spans multiple submodules and then push their
commits for code review. Upon completion of the code review, their
commits can be accepted and applied to their respective submodules
while the code review tool can then automatically update the
superproject to the most recent SHA1 of each submodule. This would
reduce the merge conflicts in the superproject that could occur if
multiple people are contributing to the same submodule.

Add a from_user parameter to is_transport_allowed() to allow http to be
able to distinguish between protocol restrictions for redirects versus
initial requests. CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS can now be set differently
from CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS to disallow use of protocols with the "user"
policy in redirects.
This change allows callers to query if a transport protocol is allowed,
given that the caller knows that the protocol is coming from the user
(1) or not from the user (0) such as redirects in libcurl. If unknown a
-1 should be provided which falls back to reading
`GIT_PROTOCOL_FROM_USER` to determine if the protocol came from the
user.

Previously the `GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL` environment variable was used to
specify a whitelist of protocols to be used in clone/fetch/push
commands. This patch introduces new configuration options for more
fine-grained control for allowing/disallowing protocols. This also has
the added benefit of allowing easier construction of a protocol
whitelist on systems where setting an environment variable is
non-trivial.
Now users can specify a policy to be used for each type of protocol via
the 'protocol.<name>.allow' config option. A default policy for all
unconfigured protocols can be set with the 'protocol.allow' config
option. If no user configured default is made git will allow known-safe
protocols (http, https, git, ssh, file), disallow known-dangerous
protocols (ext), and have a default policy of `user` for all other
protocols.
The supported policies are `always`, `never`, and `user`. The `user`
policy can be used to configure a protocol to be usable when explicitly
used by a user, while disallowing it for commands which run
clone/fetch/push commands without direct user intervention (e.g.
recursive initialization of submodules). Commands which can potentially
clone/fetch/push from untrusted repositories without user intervention
can export `GIT_PROTOCOL_FROM_USER` with a value of '0' to prevent
protocols configured to the `user` policy from being used.
Fix remote-ext tests to use the new config to allow the ext
protocol to be tested.

Teach push to respect the --dry-run option when configured to
recursively push submodules 'on-demand'. This is done by passing the
--dry-run flag to the child process which performs a push for a
submodules when performing a dry-run.
In order to preserve good user experience, the additional check for
unpushed submodules is skipped during a dry-run when
--recurse-submodules=on-demand. The check is skipped because the submodule
pushes were performed as dry-runs and this check would always fail as the
submodules would still need to be pushed.

names used a constant TRANSPORT_SUMMARY_WIDTH.

The alternate_object_database struct uses a single buffer
both for storing the path to the alternate, and as a scratch
buffer for forming object names. This is efficient (since
otherwise we'd end up storing the path twice), but it makes
life hard for callers who just want to know the path to the
alternate. They have to remember to stop reading after
"alt->name - alt->base" bytes, and to subtract one for the
trailing '/'.
It would be much simpler if they could simply access a
NUL-terminated path string. We could encapsulate this in a
function which puts a NUL in the scratch buffer and returns
the string, but that opens up questions about the lifetime
of the result. The first time another caller uses the
alternate, the scratch buffer may get other data tacked onto
it.
Let's instead just store the root path separately from the
scratch buffer. There aren't enough alternates being stored
for the duplicated data to matter for performance, and this
keeps things simple and safe for the callers.

Commit 47abd85 (fetch: Strip usernames from url's before

The primary purpose there was to avoid sticking passwords in
merge-commit messages, but as a side effect, we also avoid

The push side does not have the merge-commit problem, but it
probably should avoid printing them to stderr. We can reuse
the same anonymizing function.
Note that for this to come up, the credentials would have to
appear either on the command line or in a git config file,
neither of which is particularly secure. So people _should_
be switching to using credential helpers instead, which
makes this problem go away. But that's no excuse not to
improve the situation for people who for whatever reason end
up using credentials embedded in the URL.

In git-fetch, --depth argument is always relative with the latest
remote refs. This makes it a bit difficult to cover this use case,
where the user wants to make the shallow history, say 3 levels
deeper. It would work if remote refs have not moved yet, but nobody
can guarantee that, especially when that use case is performed a
couple months after the last clone or "git fetch --depth". Also,
modifying shallow boundary using --depth does not work well with
clones created by --since or --not.
This patch fixes that. A new argument --deepen=<N> will add <N> more (*)
parent commits to the current history regardless of where remote refs
are.
Have/Want negotiation is still respected. So if remote refs move, the
server will send two chunks: one between "have" and "want" and another
to extend shallow history. In theory, the client could send no "want"s
in order to get the second chunk only. But the protocol does not allow
that. Either you send no want lines, which means ls-remote; or you
have to send at least one want line that carries deep-relative to the
server..
The main work was done by Dongcan Jiang. I fixed it up here and there.
And of course all the bugs belong to me.
(*) We could even support --deepen=<N> where <N> is negative. In that
case we can cut some history from the shallow clone. This operation
(and --depth=<shorter depth>) does not require interaction with remote
side (and more complicated to implement as a result).

"git fetch" and friends that make network connections can now be
told to only use ipv4 (or ipv6).

This function uses xcalloc and two memcpy calls to
concatenate two strings. We can do this as an xstrfmt
one-liner, and then it is more clear that we are allocating
the correct amount of memory.

Each of these cases can be converted to use ALLOC_ARRAY or
REALLOC_ARRAY, which has two advantages:
1. It automatically checks the array-size multiplication
for overflow.
2. It always uses sizeof(*array) for the element-size,
so that it can never go out of sync with the declared
type of the array.

It turns out "git clone" over rsync transport has been broken when
the source repository has packed references for a long time, and
nobody noticed nor complained about it.

Sometimes it is necessary to force IPv4-only or IPv6-only operation
on networks where name lookups may return a non-routable address and
stall remote operations.
The ssh(1) command has an equivalent switches which we may pass when
we run them. There may be old ssh(1) implementations out there
which do not support these switches; they should report the
appropriate error in that case.
rsync support is untouched for now since it is deprecated and
scheduled to be removed.

The git-over-rsync protocol is inefficient and broken, and
has been for a long time. It transfers way more objects than
it needs (grabbing all of the remote's "objects/",
regardless of which objects we need). It does its own ad-hoc
parsing of loose and packed refs from the remote, but
doesn't properly override packed refs with loose ones,
leading to garbage results (e.g., expecting the other side
to have an object pointed to by a stale packed-refs entry,
or complaining that the other side has two copies of the
refs[1]).
This latter breakage means that nobody could have
successfully pulled from a moderately active repository
since cd547b4 (fetch/push: readd rsync support, 2007-10-01).
We never made an official deprecation notice in the release
notes for git's rsync protocol, but the tutorial has marked
it as such since 914328a (Update tutorial., 2005-08-30).
And on the mailing list as far back as Oct 2005, we can find
Junio mentioning it as having "been deprecated for quite
some time."[2,3,4]. So it was old news then; cogito had
deprecated the transport in July of 2005[5] (though it did
come back briefly when Linus broke git-http-pull!).
Of course some people professed their love of rsync through
2006, but Linus clarified in his usual gentle manner[6]:
> Thanks! This is why I still use rsync, even though
> everybody and their mother tells me "Linus says rsync is
> deprecated."
No. You're using rsync because you're actively doing
something _wrong_.
The deprecation sentiment was reinforced in 2008, with a
mention that cloning via rsync is broken (with no fix)[7].
Even the commit porting rsync over to C from shell (cd547b4)
lists it as deprecated! So between the 10 years of informal
warnings, and the fact that it has been severely broken
since 2007, it's probably safe to simply remove it without
further deprecation warnings.
