Non-atomic updates ================== The atomicity of the reference transaction depends on all pre-checks being done in the first loop, before any changes have started being committed in the second loop. The problem is that write_ref_to_lockfile() (previously part of write_ref_sha1()), which is called from the second loop, contains two more checks: * It verifies that new_sha1 is a valid object * If the reference being updated is a branch, it verifies that new_sha1 points at a commit object (as opposed to a tag, tree, or blob). If either of these checks fails, the "transaction" is aborted during the second loop. But this might happen after some reference updates have already been permanently committed. In other words, the all-or-nothing promise of "git update-ref --stdin" could be violated. So these checks have to be moved to the first loop. File descriptor exhaustion ========================== The old code locked all of the references in the first loop, leaving all of the lockfiles open until later loops. Since we might be updating a lot of references, this could result in file descriptor exhaustion. The solution ============ After this patch, the code looks like for update in updates: acquire locks and check old_sha if changing value: write_ref_to_lockfile() else: close_ref() for update in updates: if changing value: commit_ref_update() for update in updates: if deleting value: unlink() rewrite packed-refs file for update in updates: if reference still locked: unlock_ref() This fixes both problems: 1. The pre-checks in write_ref_to_lockfile() are now done in the first loop, before any changes have been committed. If any of the checks fails, the whole transaction can now be rolled back correctly. 2. All lockfiles are closed in the first loop immediately after they are created (either by write_ref_to_lockfile() or by close_ref()). This means that there is never more than one open lockfile at a time, preventing file descriptor exhaustion. To simplify the bookkeeping across loops, add a new REF_NEEDS_COMMIT bit to update->flags, which keeps track of whether the corresponding lockfile needs to be committed, as opposed to just unlocked. (Since "struct ref_update" is internal to the refs module, this change is not visible to external callers.) This change fixes two tests in t1400.

| * ref_transaction_commit(): remove the local flags variableMichael Haggerty2015-05-121-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead, work directly with update->flags. This has the advantage that the REF_DELETING bit, set in the first loop, can be read in the second loop instead of having to be recomputed. Plus, it was potentially confusing having both update->flags and flags, which sometimes had different values.

For example, if a single line contains only the unicode character U+C9C4 (encoded as UTF-8 0xEC, 0xA7, 0x84) and that line is then changed to the unicode character U+C9C0 (encoded as UTF-8 0xEC, 0xA7, 0x80), when operating on bytes diff-highlight will show only the single byte change from 0x84 to 0x80 thus creating invalid UTF-8 and a broken diff display. Fix this by putting Perl into character mode when splitting the line and then back into byte mode after the split is finished. The utf8::xxx functions require Perl 5.8 so we require that as well. Also, since we are mucking with code in the split_line function, we change a '*' quantifier to a '+' quantifier when matching the $COLOR expression which has the side effect of speeding everything up while eliminating useless '' elements in the returned array.

But by using run_with_cmdline_limit, we can get the same effect with a much smaller number of tags. This makes the test fast enough that we can drop the EXPENSIVE prereq, which means people will actually run it. It was not documented to do so, but this test was also the only test of a clone-over-http that requires multiple POSTs during the conversation. We can continue to test that by dropping http.postbuffer to its minimum size, and checking that we get two POSTs.

When we see GIT_TRACE set like this, we print a warning to the user. However, we can do even better than that by just pointing it to descriptor 4, which all tests leave connected to the test script's stderr. That's likely what the user intended (and any scripts that do want to see GIT_TRACE output will set GIT_TRACE themselves). Not only does this avoid false negatives in the tests, but it means the user will actually see trace output for git calls that redirect their stderr (whereas before, it was sometimes confusingly buried in a file).

This can be annoying if the test script did any global setup, like starting apache or git-daemon, as it will not have an opportunity to clean up after itself. A subsequent run of the test won't be able to start its own daemon, and will either fail or skip the tests. Instead, let's trap SIGINT to make sure we do a clean shutdown, and just chain it to a normal exit (which will trigger any cleanup).

In olden times, before v1.6.0-rc0~194 (2008-06-27), git commit-tree and higher-level tools built on top of it were limited to writing 16 parents for a commit. Nowadays normal git operations are happy to write more parents when asked, so the motivation for this note in the fast-import documentation is gone and we can remove it.

But that is not what happens if "-p" is not specified. What happens is that the individual commits a merge commit introduces are replayed in order, and only any possible merge conflict resolutions or manual amendments to the merge commit are ignored. Get this straight in the docs. Also, do not say that merge commits are *tried* to be recreated. As that is true almost everywhere it is better left unsaid.

Many builtin commands use this function from builtin/ls-files.c, which is not a very healthy arrangement. ls-files might have been the first command to feel the need for such a helper, but the need is shared by everybody who uses the "match and then report" pattern. Move it to dir.c where match_pathspec() is defined. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
