* send-email: make message-id generation a bit more robustJunio C Hamano2007-09-171-4/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Earlier code took Unix time and appended a few random digits. If you are firing off many messages within a second, you could issue the same id to different messages, which is a no-no. If you send out 31 messages within a single second, with random integer taken out of rand(4200), you have about 10% chance of producing the same message ID. This fixes the problem by uses a prefix string which is constant-per-invocation (time and pid), with a serial number for each message generated by the process appended at the end.

* git-apply: fix whitespace strippingJ. Bruce Fields2007-09-171-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The algorithm isn't right here: it accumulates any set of 8 spaces into tabs even if they're separated by tabs, so <four spaces><tab><four spaces><tab> is converted to <tab><tab><tab> when it should be just <tab><tab> So teach git-apply that a tab hides any group of less than 8 previous spaces in a row.

* apply --index-info: fall back to current index for mode changesJohannes Schindelin2007-09-162-2/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "git diff" does not record index lines for pure mode changes (i.e. no lines changed). Therefore, apply --index-info would call out a bogus error. Instead, fall back to reading the info from the current index. Incidentally, this fixes an error where git-rebase would not rebase a commit including a pure mode change, and changes requiring a threeway merge. Noticed and later tested by Chris Shoemaker.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "Discussion" section has a lot of useful information, but is a little wordy, especially for an already-long man page, and is designed for an audience more of potential git hackers than users, which probably doesn't make as much sense as git matures. Also, I (perhaps foolishly) forked a version in the user manual, which has been significantly rewritten in an attempt to address some of the above problems. So, remove this section and replace it by a (very terse) summary of the original material--my attempt at the World's Shortest Git Overview--and a reference to the appropriate chapter of the user manual. It's unfortunate to remove something that's been in this place for a long time, as some people may still depend on finding it there. But I think we'll want to do this some day anyway.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The descriptions of the various object types should all be a subsection of the "Object Database" section. I cribbed most of this chapter from the README (now core-intro.txt and git(7)), because there's stuff in there people need to know and I was too lazy to rewrite it. The audience isn't quite right, though--the chapter is a mixture of user- and developer- level documentation that isn't as appropriate now as it was originally. So, reserve this chapter for stuff users need to know, and move the source code introduction into a new "git hacking" chapter where we'll also move any hacker-only technical details.

* | revision walker: --cherry-pick is a limited operationJohannes Schindelin2007-09-152-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We used to rely on the fact that cherry-pick would trigger the code path to set limited = 1 in handle_commit(), when an uninteresting commit was encountered. However, when cherry picking between two independent branches, i.e. when there are no merge bases, and there is only linear development (which can happen when you cvsimport a fork of a project), no uninteresting commit will be encountered. So set limited = 1 when --cherry-pick was asked for. Noticed by Martin Bähr. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* Fix the rename detection limit checkingLinus Torvalds2007-09-143-3/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds more proper rename detection limits. Instead of just checking the limit against the number of potential rename destinations, we verify that the rename matrix (which is what really matters) doesn't grow ridiculously large, and we also make sure that we don't overflow when doing the matrix size calculation. This also changes the default limits from unlimited, to a rename matrix that is limited to 100 entries on a side. You can raise it with the config entry, or by using the "-l<n>" command line flag, but at least the default is now a sane number that avoids spending lots of time (and memory) in situations that likely don't merit it. The choice of default value is of course very debatable. Limiting the rename matrix to a 100x100 size will mean that even if you have just one obvious rename, but you also create (or delete) 10,000 files, the rename matrix will be so big that we disable the heuristics. Sounds reasonable to me, but let's see if people hit this (and, perhaps more importantly, actually *care*) in real life.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) pushes happen less often than fetches, so the bandwidth saving is much less visible in that case overall. 2) thin packs have to be complemented with missing delta bases to be valid, so many received thin packs will take more disk space. 3) the bother of repacking should be distributed amongst "clients" i.e. fetchers and pushers as much as possible, and not the server being fetched or pushed, to keep disk and CPU usage low on the server. This is why a fetch should get thin packs but a push should not. Both Nico and I have been assuming that --no-thin was the default behavior of git-push ever since Nico introduced --fix-thin into the index-pack process, which allowed fetch and receive-pack to avoid exploding packfiles received during transfer.

* git-tag -s must fail if gpg cannot sign the tag.Carlos Rica2007-09-092-4/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of this patch code and message was written by Shawn O. Pearce. I made some tests to know what the problem was, and then I changed the code related with the SIGPIPE signal. If the user has misconfigured `user.signingkey` in their .git/config or just doesn't have any secret keys on their keyring and they ask for a signed tag with `git tag -s` we better make sure the resulting tag was actually signed by gpg. Prior versions of builtin git-tag allowed this failure to slip by without error as they were not checking the return value of the finish_command() so they did not notice when gpg exited with an error exit status. They also did not fail if gpg produced an empty output or if read_in_full received an error from the read system call while trying to read the pipe back from gpg. Finally, we did not actually honor any return value from the do_sign function as it returns ssize_t but was being stored into an unsigned long. This caused the compiler to optimize out the die condition, allowing git-tag to continue along and create the tag object. However, when gpg gets a wrong username, it exits before any read was done and then the writing process receives SIGPIPE and program is terminated. By ignoring this signal, anyway, the function write_or_die gets EPIPE from write_in_full and exits returning 0 to the system without a message. Here we better call to write_in_full directly so we can fail printing a message and return safely to the caller. With these issues fixed `git-tag -s` will now fail to create the tag and will report a non-zero exit status to its caller, thereby allowing automated helper scripts to detect (and recover from) failure if gpg is not working properly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently I found that doing a sequence like the following: git-new-workdir a b ... git-new-workdir a b by accident will cause a (and now also b) to have an infinite cycle in its refs directory. This is caused by git-new-workdir trying to create the "refs" symlink over again, only during the second time it is being created within a's refs directory and is now also pointing back at a's refs. This causes confusion in git as suddenly branches are named things like "refs/refs/refs/refs/refs/refs/refs/heads/foo" instead of the more commonly accepted "refs/heads/foo". Plenty of commands start to see ambiguous ref names and others just take ages to compute. git-clone has the same safety check, so git-new-workdir should behave just like it. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the preimage we are patching is shorter than what the patch text expects, we tried to match the buffer contents at the "original" line with the fragment in full, without checking we have enough data to match in the preimage. This caused the size of a later memmove() to wrap around and attempt to scribble almost the entire address space. Not good. The code that follows the part this patch touches tries to match the fragment with line offsets. Curiously, that code does not have the problem --- it guards against reading past the end of the preimage. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
