Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory

2010-02-22T22:29:41+00:00

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil
	Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
	builtin-shortlog.c     builtin-show-branch.c  builtin-show-ref.c
	builtin-shortlog.o     builtin-show-branch.o  builtin-show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor
	builtin-shortlog.c  builtin-shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

you get

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil		[type]
	builtin/   builtin.h
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh	[type]
	shortlog.c     shortlog.o     show-branch.c  show-branch.o  show-ref.c     show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor	[type]
	shortlog.c  shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead.  I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.

So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.  But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.

run-command: support custom fd-set in async

2010-02-06T04:57:22+00:00

This patch adds the possibility to supply a set of non-0 file
descriptors for async process communication instead of the
default-created pipe.

Additionally, we now support bi-directional communiction with the
async procedure, by giving the async function both read and write
file descriptors.

To retain compatiblity and similar "API feel" with start_command,
we require start_async callers to set .out = -1 to get a readable
file descriptor.  If either of .in or .out is 0, we supply no file
descriptor to the async process.

[sp: Note: Erik started this patch, and a huge bulk of it is
     his work.  All bugs were introduced later by Shawn.]

Smart fetch over HTTP: client side

2009-11-05T01:58:15+00:00

The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports
the git-upload-pack service, and if so, runs git-fetch-pack locally
in a pipe to generate the want/have commands.

The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the
discovery are passed into git-fetch-pack before the POST request
starts, permitting server capability discovery and enablement.

Common objects that are discovered are appended onto the request as
have lines and are sent again on the next request.  This allows the
remote side to reinitialize its in-memory list of common objects
during the next request.

Because all requests are relatively short, below git-remote-curl's
1 MiB buffer limit, requests will use the standard Content-Length
header and be valid HTTP/1.0 POST requests.  This makes the fetch
client more tolerant of proxy servers which don't support HTTP/1.1
or the chunked transfer encoding.

Add multi_ack_detailed capability to fetch-pack/upload-pack

2009-10-31T02:20:54+00:00

When multi_ack_detailed is enabled the ACK continue messages returned
by the remote upload-pack are broken out to describe the different
states within the peer.  This permits the client to better understand
the server's in-memory state.

The fetch-pack/upload-pack protocol now looks like:

NAK
---------------------------------
  Always sent in response to "done" if there was no common base
  selected from the "have" lines (or no have lines were sent).

  * no multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed:

    Sent when the client has sent a pkt-line flush ("0000") and
    the server has not yet found a common base object.

  * either multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed:

    Always sent in response to a pkt-line flush.

ACK %s
-----------------------------------
  * no multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed:

    Sent in response to "have" when the object exists on the remote
    side and is therefore an object in common between the peers.
    The argument is the SHA-1 of the common object.

  * either multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed:

    Sent in response to "done" if there are common objects.
    The argument is the last SHA-1 determined to be common.

ACK %s continue
-----------------------------------
  * multi_ack only:

    Sent in response to "have".

    The remote side wants the client to consider this object as
    common, and immediately stop transmitting additional "have"
    lines for objects that are reachable from it.  The reason
    the client should stop is not given, but is one of the two
    cases below available under multi_ack_detailed.

ACK %s common
-----------------------------------
  * multi_ack_detailed only:

    Sent in response to "have".  Both sides have this object.
    Like with "ACK %s continue" above the client should stop
    sending have lines reachable for objects from the argument.

ACK %s ready
-----------------------------------
  * multi_ack_detailed only:

    Sent in response to "have".

    The client should stop transmitting objects which are reachable
    from the argument, and send "done" soon to get the objects.

    If the remote side has the specified object, it should
    first send an "ACK %s common" message prior to sending
    "ACK %s ready".

    Clients may still submit additional "have" lines if there are
    more side branches for the client to explore that might be added
    to the common set and reduce the number of objects to transfer.

Move "get_ack()" back to fetch-pack

2009-10-31T02:20:53+00:00

In 41cb7488 Linus moved this function to connect.c for reuse inside
of the git-clone-pack command.  That was 2005, but in 2006 Junio
retired git-clone-pack in commit efc7fa53.  Since then the only
caller has been fetch-pack.  Since this ACK/NAK exchange is only
used by the fetch-pack/upload-pack protocol we should move it back
to be a private detail of fetch-pack.

fetch-pack: Use a strbuf to compose the want list

2009-10-31T02:20:53+00:00

This change is being offered as a refactoring to make later
commits in the smart HTTP series easier.

By changing the enabled capabilities to be formatted in a strbuf
it is easier to add a new capability to the set of supported
capabilities.

By formatting the want portion of the request into a strbuf and
writing it as a whole block we can later decide to hold onto
the req_buf (instead of releasing it) to recycle in stateless
communications.

fetch-pack: close output channel after sideband demultiplexer terminates

2009-06-09T04:18:41+00:00

fetch-pack runs the sideband demultiplexer using start_async(). This
facility requires that the asynchronously executed function closes the
output file descriptor (see Documentation/technical/api-run-command.txt).
But the sideband demultiplexer did not do that. This fixes it.

In certain error situations this could lock up a fetch operation on
Windows because the asynchronous function is run in a thread; by not
closing the output fd the reading end never got EOF and waited for more
data indefinitely. On Unix this is not a problem because the asynchronous
function is run in a separate process, which exits after the function ends
and so implicitly closes the output.

Since the pack that is sent over the wire encodes the number of objects in
the stream, during normal operation the reading end knows when the stream
ends and terminates by itself, and does not lock up.

honor repack.usedeltabaseoffset when fetching packs

2009-05-02T05:13:43+00:00

If the local receiving repository has disabled the use of delta base
offset, for example to retain compatibility with older versions of
Git that predate OFS_DELTA, we shouldn't ask for ofs-delta support
when we obtain a pack from the remote server.
