This means that every time "make" is run, we see: GEN perl/PM.stamp in the output, even though it is not likely to have changed. Let's make this recipe completely silent, as we do for other auto-generated dependency files (e.g., GIT-CFLAGS).

| * | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Makefile: avoid timestamp updates to GIT-BUILD-OPTIONSJeff King2015-05-291-21/+22

We must do this to catch new options which may have come from the command-line or environment. However, we actually update the file's timestamp each time the recipe is run, whether anything changed or not. As a result, any files which depend on it (for example, all of the perl scripts, which need to know whether NO_PERL was set) will be re-built every time. Let's do our usual trick of writing to a tempfile, then doing a "cmp || mv" to update the file only when something changed.

This makes no sense, because: 1. git-instaweb has no build-time dependency on gitweb; it is a run-time dependency 2. gitweb is a directory that we want to recursively make in. As a result, its recipe is marked .PHONY, which causes "make" to rebuild git-instaweb every time it is run. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Dying is good, because it avoids commands running and doing damage in a potentially incorrect setup. But dying _there_ is bad, because it means that commands which do not even care about the work tree cannot run. This can make repairing the situation harder: [setup] $ git config core.bare true $ git config core.worktree /some/path [OK, expected.] $ git status fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense [Hrm...] $ git config --unset core.worktree fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense [Nope...] $ git config --edit fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense [Gaaah.] $ git help config fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense Instead, let's issue a warning about the bogus config when we notice it (i.e., for all commands), but only die when the command tries to use the work tree (by calling setup_work_tree). So we now get: $ git status warning: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense fatal: unable to set up work tree using invalid config $ git config --unset core.worktree warning: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense We have to update t1510 to accomodate this; it uses symbolic-ref to check whether the configuration works or not, but of course that command does not use the working tree. Instead, we switch it to use `git status`, as it requires a work-tree, does not need any special setup, and is read-only (so a failure will not adversely affect further tests). In addition, we add a new test that checks the desired behavior (i.e., that running "git config" with the bogus config does in fact work).

The error message was thus introduced to prevent confusion. However, since c5a84e9 (fetch --tags: fetch tags *in addition to* other stuff, 2013-10-30), git fetch --tags would fetch tags in addition to any configured refspecs. Hence, if any no merge candidates situation occurs, it is not because --tags was set. As such, this special error message is now irrelevant. To prevent confusion, remove this error message.

This has two downsides: 1. The error message is not very helpful, as it lacks any context about the file we are mapping: $ mkdir foo $ git config --file=foo some.key value fatal: Out of memory? mmap failed: No such device 2. We normally do not die in this code path; instead, we'd rather report the error and return an appropriate exit status (which is part of the public interface documented in git-config.1). This patch introduces a "gentle" form of xmmap which lets us produce our own error message. We do not want to use mmap directly, because we would like to use the other compatibility elements of xmmap (e.g., handling 0-length maps portably). The end result is: $ git.compile config --file=foo some.key value error: unable to mmap 'foo': No such device $ echo $? 3 Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

So in 520fc24 (Allow writing to the private index file mapping., 2005-04-26), we specified PROT_WRITE so that we could tweak the entries while we run (in our own MAP_PRIVATE copy-on-write version, of course). Later, 7a51ed6 (Make on-disk index representation separate from in-core one, 2008-01-14) stopped doing this; we copy the data into our in-core representation, and then drop the mmap immediately. We can therefore drop the PROT_WRITE flag. It's probably not hurting anything as it is, but it's potentially confusing. Note that we could also mark the mapping as "const" to verify that we never write to it. However, we don't typically do that for our other maps, as it then requires casting to munmap() it.

For example, we use it when walking unreachable but recent objects; we want to add what we can, but it's OK if the history is incomplete. However, we still print error messages for the missing objects, which can be confusing. This is not an error, but just a normal situation when transitioning from a repository last pruned by an older git (which can leave broken segments of history) to a more recent one (where we try to preserve whole reachable segments).

This means that we may produce useless error messages if this situation is expected (e.g., because the object is marked UNINTERESTING, or because revs->ignore_missing_links is set). We can fix this by adding a new "parse_X_gently" form that takes a flag to suppress the messages. The existing "parse_X" form is already gentle in the sense that it returns an error rather than dying, and we could in theory just add a "quiet" flag to it (with existing callers passing "0"). But doing it this way means we do not have to disturb existing callers. Note also that the new flag is "quiet_on_missing", and not just "quiet". We could add a flag to suppress _all_ errors, but besides being a more invasive change (we would have to pass the flag down to sub-functions, too), there is a good reason not to: we would never want to use it. Missing a linked object is expected in some circumstances, but it is never expected to have a malformed commit, or to get a tree when we wanted a commit. We should always complain about these corruptions. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

In such cases, 'git rebase' leaves the sha1 of the commit being rewritten in "$state_dir"/stopped-sha, and subsequent 'git rebase --continue' will call the post-rewrite hook with this sha1 as <old-sha1> argument to the post-rewrite hook. The case of 'git rebase' stopping because of a failed 'exec' command is different: it gives the opportunity to the user to examine or fix the failure, but does not stop saying "here's a commit to edit, use --continue when you're done". So, there's no reason to call the post-rewrite hook for 'exec' commands. If the user did rewrite the commit, it would be with 'git commit --amend' which already called the post-rewrite hook. Fix the behavior to leave no stopped-sha file in case of failed exec command, and teach 'git rebase --continue' to skip record_in_rewritten if no stopped-sha file is found.

Reorder the paragraphs such that - the first short paragraph introduces the submodule concept, - the second paragraph highlights the usage of the submodule command, - the third paragraph giving background information, and finally - the fourth paragraph discusing alternatives such as subtrees and remotes, which we don't want to be confused with. This ordering deepens the knowledge on submodules with each paragraph. First the basic questions like "How/what" will be answered, while the underlying concepts will be taught at a later time. Making sure it is not confused with subtrees and remotes is not really enhancing knowledge of submodules itself, but rather painting the big picture of git concepts, so you could also argue to have it as the second paragraph. Personally I think this may confuse readers, specially newcomers though. Additionally to reordering the paragraphs, they have been slightly reworded.

In theory, git can go full-duplex; the client can consume our response while it is still sending the request. In practice, however, HTTP is a half-duplex protocol. Even if our client is ready to read and write simultaneously, we may have other HTTP infrastructure in the way, including the webserver that spawns our CGI, or any intermediate proxies. In at least one documented case[1], this leads to deadlock when trying a fetch over http. What happens is basically: 1. Apache proxies the request to the CGI, http-backend. 2. http-backend gzip-inflates the data and sends the result to upload-pack. 3. upload-pack acts on the data and generates output over the pipe back to Apache. Apache isn't reading because it's busy writing (step 1). This works fine most of the time, because the upload-pack output ends up in a system pipe buffer, and Apache reads it as soon as it finishes writing. But if both the request and the response exceed the system pipe buffer size, then we deadlock (Apache blocks writing to http-backend, http-backend blocks writing to upload-pack, and upload-pack blocks writing to Apache). We need to break the deadlock by spooling either the input or the output. In this case, it's ideal to spool the input, because Apache does not start reading either stdout _or_ stderr until we have consumed all of the input. So until we do so, we cannot even get an error message out to the client. The solution is fairly straight-forward: we read the request body into an in-memory buffer in http-backend, freeing up Apache, and then feed the data ourselves to upload-pack. But there are a few important things to note: 1. We limit the in-memory buffer to prevent an obvious denial-of-service attack. This is a new hard limit on requests, but it's unlikely to come into play. The default value is 10MB, which covers even the ridiculous 100,000-ref negotation in the included test (that actually caps out just over 5MB). But it's configurable on the off chance that you don't mind spending some extra memory to make even ridiculous requests work. 2. We must take care only to buffer when we have to. For pushes, the incoming packfile may be of arbitrary size, and we should connect the input directly to receive-pack. There's no deadlock problem here, though, because we do not produce any output until the whole packfile has been read. For upload-pack's initial ref advertisement, we similarly do not need to buffer. Even though we may generate a lot of output, there is no request body at all (i.e., it is a GET, not a POST).
