2017-03-16unpack-trees: check if we can perform the operation for submodulesStefan Beller
In a later patch we'll support submodule entries to be in sync with the tree in working tree changing commands, such as checkout or read-tree. When a new submodule entry changes in the tree, we need to check if there are conflicts (directory/file conflicts) for the tree. Add this check for submodules to be performed before the working tree is touched. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-06-02diff-lib, read-tree, unpack-trees: mark cache_entry array paramters constRené Scharfe
Change the type merge_fn_t to accept the array of cache_entry pointers as const pointers to const pointers. This documents the fact that the merge functions don't modify the cache_entry contents or replace any of the pointers in the array. Only a single cast is necessary in unpack_nondirectories because adding two const modifiers at once is not allowed in C. The cast is safe in that it doesn't mask any modfication; call_unpack_fn only needs the array for reading.

This function is responsible for determining if a path that is not tracked is ignored and allow "checkout" to overwrite it as needed. It used excluded() without checking if higher level directory in the path is ignored; correct it to use path_excluded() for this check. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> --- * There are uses of lower-level interface excluded_from_list() in the codepath for narrow-checkout hack; they are supposed to be already checking each level as they descend, and are not touched with this patch.

2011-08-29unpack-trees: allow pruning with pathspecJunio C Hamano
Use the pathspec pruning of traverse_trees() from unpack_trees(). Again, the unpack_trees() machinery is primarily meant for merging two (or more) trees, and because a merge is a full tree operation, it didn't support any pruning with pathspec, and this codepath probably should not be enabled while running a merge, but the caller in diff-lib.c::diff_cache() should be able to take advantage of it.

2011-05-31diff-index --quiet: learn the "stop feeding the backend early" logicJunio C Hamano
A negative return from the unpack callback function usually means unpack failed for the entry and signals the unpack_trees() machinery to fail the entire merge operation, immediately and there is no other way for the callback to tell the machinery to exit early without reporting an error. This is what we usually want to make a merge all-or-nothing operation, but the machinery is also used for diff-index codepath by using a custom unpack callback function. And we do sometimes want to exit early without failing, namely when we are under --quiet and can short-cut the diff upon finding the first difference. Add "exiting_early" field to unpack_trees_options structure, to signal the unpack_trees() machinery that the negative return value is not signaling an error but an early return from the unpack_trees() machinery. As this by definition hasn't unpacked everything, discard the resulting index just like the failure codepath. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-05-25unpack-trees: add the dry_run flag to unpack_trees_optionsJens Lehmann
Until now there was no way to test if unpack_trees() with update=1 would succeed without really updating the work tree. The reason for that is that setting update to 0 does skip the tests for new files and deactivates the sparse handling, thereby making that unsuitable as a dry run. Add the new dry_run flag to struct unpack_trees_options unpack_trees(). Setting that together with the update flag will check if the work tree update would be successful without doing it for real. The only class of problems that is not detected at the moment are file system conditions like ENOSPC or missing permissions. Also the index entries of updated files are not as they would be after a real checkout because lstat() isn't run as the files aren't updated for real.

2010-11-15use persistent memory for rejected pathsClemens Buchacher
An aborted merge prints the list of rejected paths as part of the error message. Since commit f66caaf9 (do not overwrite files in leading path), some of those paths do not have static buffers, so we have to keep a copy. Use string_list's to accomplish this. This changes the order of the list to the order in which the paths are processed. Previously, it was reversed.

2010-09-03Move "show_all_errors = 1" to setup_unpack_trees_porcelain()Matthieu Moy
Not only this makes the code clearer since setting up the porcelain error message is meant to work with show_all_errors, but this fixes a call to setup_unpack_trees_porcelain() in git_merge_trees() which did not set show_all_errors. add_rejected_path() used to double-check whether it was running in plumbing mode.

2010-08-11unpack_trees: group error messages by typeMatthieu Moy
When an error is encountered, it calls add_rejected_file() which either - directly displays the error message and stops if in plumbing mode (i.e. if show_all_errors is not initialized at 1) - or stores it so that it will be displayed at the end with display_error_msgs(), Storing the files by error type permits to have a list of files for which there is the same error instead of having a serie of almost identical errors. As each bind_overlap error combines a file and an old file, a list cannot be done, therefore, theses errors are not stored but directly displayed.

2010-08-11merge-recursive: distinguish "removed" and "overwritten" messagesMatthieu Moy
To limit the number of possible error messages, the error messages for the case would_lose_untracked_file and would_lose_orphaned in unpack_trees_options.msgs were handled with a single string, parameterized by an action string ("overwritten" or "removed"). Instead, we consider them as two different cases, with unparameterized string. This will make it easier to make separate lists sorted by error types later.

2010-08-11Turn unpack_trees_options.msgs into an array + enumMatthieu Moy
The list of error messages was introduced as a structure, but an array indexed over an enum is more flexible, since it allows one to store a type of error message (index in the array) in a variable.

2010-01-07unpack-trees.c: prepare for looking ahead in the indexJunio C Hamano
This prepares but does not yet implement a look-ahead in the index entries when traverse-trees.c decides to give us tree entries in an order that does not match what is in the index. A case where a look-ahead in the index is necessary happens when merging branch B into branch A while the index matches the current branch A, using a tree O as their common ancestor, and these three trees looks like this: O A B t t t-i t-i t-i t-j t-j t/1 t/2 The traverse_trees() function gets "t", "t-i" and "t" from trees O, A and B first, and notices that A may have a matching "t" behind "t-i" and "t-j" (indeed it does), and tells A to give that entry instead. After unpacking blob "t" from tree B (as it hasn't changed since O in B and A removed it, it will result in its removal), it descends into directory "t/". The side that walked index in parallel to the tree traversal used to be implemented with one pointer, o->pos, that points at the next index entry to be processed. When this happens, the pointer o->pos still points at "t-i" that is the first entry. We should be able to skip "t-i" and "t-j" and locate "t/1" from the index while the recursive invocation of traverse_trees() walks and match entries found there, and later come back to process "t-i". While that look-ahead is not implemented yet, this adds a flag bit, CE_UNPACKED, to mark the entries in the index that has already been processed. o->pos pointer has been renamed to o->cache_bottom and it points at the first entry that may still need to be processed.

Cleanup the documentation to explicitly state that --exclude-directory is only meaningful when used with -u. Also make the documentation more consistent with the usage message printed with read-tree --help-all. The -m, --prefix, --reset options are performing similar actions (setting some flags, read_cache_unmerged(), checking for illegal option combinations). Instead of performing these actions when the options are parsed, we delay performing them until after parse-opts has finished.

2009-05-25Optimize "diff-index --cached" using cache-treeJunio C Hamano
When running "diff-index --cached" after making a change to only a small portion of the index, there is no point unpacking unchanged subtrees into the index recursively, only to find that all entries match anyway. Tweak unpack_trees() logic that is used to read in the tree object to catch the case where the tree entry we are looking at matches the index as a whole by looking at the cache-tree.

2008-09-10checkout: do not lose staged removalJunio C Hamano
The logic to checkout a different commit implements the safety to never lose user's local changes. For example, switching from a commit to another commit, when you have changed a path that is different between them, need to merge your changes to the version from the switched-to commit, which you may not necessarily be able to resolve easily. By default, "git checkout" refused to switch branches, to give you a chance to stash your local changes (or use "-m" to merge, accepting the risks of getting conflicts). This safety, however, had one deliberate hole since early June 2005. When your local change was to remove a path (and optionally to stage that removal), the command checked out the path from the switched-to commit nevertheless. This was to allow an initial checkout to happen smoothly (e.g. an initial checkout is done by starting with an empty index and switching from the commit at the HEAD to the same commit). We can tighten the rule slightly to allow this special case to pass, without losing sight of removal explicitly done by the user, by noticing if the index is truly empty when the operation begins. For historical background, see: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/4641/focus=4646 This case is marked as *0* in the message, which both Linus and I said "it feels somewhat wrong but otherwise we cannot start from an empty index".

2008-05-20unpack-trees: allow Porcelain to give different error messagesJunio C Hamano
The plumbing output is sacred as it is an API. We _could_ change it if it is broken in such a way that it cannot convey necessary information fully, but we just do not _reword_ for the sake of rewording. If somebody does not like it, s/he is complaining too late. S/he should have been here in early May 2005 and make the language used by the API closer to what humans read. S/he wasn't here. Too bad, and it is too late. And people who complain should look at a bigger picture. Look at what was suggested by one of them and think for five seconds: $ git checkout mytopic -fatal: Entry 'frotz' not uptodate. Cannot merge. +fatal: Entry 'frotz' has local changes. Cannot merge. If you do not see something wrong with this output, your brain has already been rotten with use of git for too long a time. Nobody asked us to "merge" but why are we talking about "Cannot merge"? This patch introduces a mechanism to allow Porcelains to specify messages that are different from the ones that is given by the underlying plumbing implementation of read-tree, so that we can reword the message Porcelains give without disrupting the output from the plumbing. $ git-checkout pu error: You have local changes to 'Makefile'; cannot switch branches. There are other places that ask unpack_trees() to n-way merge, detect issues and let it issue error message on its own, but I did this as a demonstration and replaced only one message. Yes I know about C99 structure initializers. I'd love to use them but we try to be nice to compilers without it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

However, the updated unpack_trees() code had an advertised limit of 4 (which it enforced). In reality the code was prepared to take only 3 trees and giving 4 caused it to stomp on its stack.

We will always unpack into our own internal index, but we will take the source from wherever specified, and we will optionally write the result to a specified index (optionally, because not everybody even _wants_ any result: the index diffing really wants to just walk the tree and index in parallel). This ends up removing a fair number more lines than it adds, for the simple reason that we can now skip all the crud that tried to be oh-so-careful about maintaining our position in the index as we were traversing and modifying it. Since we don't actually modify the source index any more, we can just update the 'o->pos' pointer without worrying about whether an index entry got removed or replaced or added to.

This option allows the caller to reset everything that isn't unmerged, leaving the unmerged things to be resolved. If, after a merge of "working" and "HEAD", this is used with "HEAD" (reset, !update), the result will be that all of the changes from "local" are in the working tree but not added to the index (either with the index clean but unchanged, or with the index unmerged, depending on whether there are conflicts).

2008-02-10Add flag to make unpack_trees() not print errors.Daniel Barkalow
(This applies only to errors where a plausible operation is impossible due to the particular data, not to errors resulting from misuse of the merge functions.) This will allow builtin-checkout to suppress merge errors if it's going to try more merging methods. Additionally, if unpack_trees() returns with an error, but without printing anything, it will roll back any changes to the index (by rereading the index, currently). This obviously could be done by the caller, but chances are that the caller would forget and debugging this is difficult. Also, future implementations may give unpack_trees() a more efficient way of undoing its changes than the caller could. Signed-off-by: Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org>
2008-01-21Make run_diff_index() use unpack_trees(), not read_tree()Linus Torvalds
A plain "git commit" would still run lstat() a lot more than necessary, because wt_status_print() would cause the index to be repeatedly flushed and re-read by wt_read_cache(), and that would cause the CE_UPTODATE bit to be lost, resulting in the files in the index being lstat'ed three times each. The reason why wt-status.c ended up invalidating and re-reading the cache multiple times was that it uses "run_diff_index()", which in turn uses "read_tree()" to populate the index with *both* the old index and the tree we want to compare against. So this patch re-writes run_diff_index() to not use read_tree(), but instead use "unpack_trees()" to diff the index to a tree. That, in turn, means that we don't need to modify the index itself, which then means that we don't need to invalidate it and re-read it! This, together with the lstat() optimizations, means that "git commit" on the kernel tree really only needs to lstat() the index entries once. That noticeably cuts down on the cached timings. Best time before: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null real 0m0.399s user 0m0.232s sys 0m0.164s Best time after: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null real 0m0.254s user 0m0.140s sys 0m0.112s so it's a noticeable improvement in addition to being a nice conceptual cleanup (it's really not that pretty that "run_diff_index()" dirties the index!) Doing an "strace -c" on it also shows that as it cuts the number of lstat() calls by two thirds, it goes from being lstat()-limited to being limited by getdents() (which is the readdir system call): Before: % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 60.69 0.000704 0 69230 31 lstat 23.62 0.000274 0 5522 getdents 8.36 0.000097 0 5508 2638 open 2.59 0.000030 0 2869 close 2.50 0.000029 0 274 write 1.47 0.000017 0 2844 fstat After: % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 45.17 0.000276 0 5522 getdents 26.51 0.000162 0 23112 31 lstat 19.80 0.000121 0 5503 2638 open 4.91 0.000030 0 2864 close 1.48 0.000020 0 274 write 1.34 0.000018 0 2844 fstat ... It passes the test-suite for me, but this is another of one of those really core functions, and certainly pretty subtle, so.. NOTE! The Linux lstat() system call is really quite cheap when everything is cached, so the fact that this is quite noticeable on Linux is likely to mean that it is *much* more noticeable on other operating systems. I bet you'll see a much bigger performance improvement from this on Windows in particular. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
