When a caller asks ident_default_name() for the value, we fallback to auto-detecting if the strbuf is empty. That means that explicitly setting an empty string in the config is identical to not setting it at all. This is potentially confusing, as we usually accept a configured value as the final value.

We reject an empty name when formatting a strict ident, but don't notice an all-crud one because our check happens before the crud-removal step. We could skip past the crud before checking for an empty name, but let's make it a separate code path, for two reasons. One is that we can give a more specific error message. And two is that unlike a blank name, we probably don't want to kick in the fallback-to-username behavior. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* | | | ident: handle NULL email when complaining of empty nameJeff King2017-02-231-13/+13

However, the "email" pointer may be NULL here if we were planning to fill it in later from ident_default_email(). This was broken by 59f929596 (fmt_ident: refactor strictness checks, 2016-02-04). Prior to that commit, we would look up the default name and email before doing any other actions. So one solution would be to go back to that. However, we can't just do so blindly. The logic for handling the "!email" condition has grown since then. In particular, looking up the default email can die if getpwuid() fails, but there are other errors that should take precedence. Commit 734c7789a (ident: check for useConfigOnly before auto-detection of name/email, 2016-03-30) reordered the checks so that we prefer the error message for useConfigOnly. Instead, we can observe that while the name-handling depends on "email" being set, the reverse is not true. So we can simply set up the email variable first. This does mean that if both are bogus, we'll complain about the email before the name. But between the two, there is no reason to prefer one over the other.

If there isn't a canonical name, getaddrinfo() will generally return either a NULL addrinfo list, or one in which ai->ai_canonname is a copy of the original name. However, if the result of gethostname() looks like an IP address, then getaddrinfo() behaves differently on some systems. On OS X, it will return a "struct addrinfo" with a NULL ai_canonname, and we segfault feeding it to strchr(). This is hard to test reliably because it involves not only a system where we we have to fallback to gethostname() to come up with an ident, but also where the hostname is a number with no dots. But I was able to replicate the bug by faking a hostname, like: diff --git a/ident.c b/ident.c index e20a772..b790d28 100644 --- a/ident.c +++ b/ident.c @@ -128,6 +128,7 @@ static void add_domainname(struct strbuf *out, int *is_bogus) *is_bogus = 1; return; } + xsnprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "1"); if (strchr(buf, '.')) strbuf_addstr(out, buf); else if (canonical_name(buf, out) < 0) { and running "git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT" on an OS X system. Before this patch it segfaults, and after we correctly complain of the bogus "user@1.(none)" address (though this bogus address would be suitable for non-object uses like writing reflogs).

This is a good thing in some cases, like "git commit", because it means we do not racily assign different times to the author/committer fields of a single commit object. But as more programs start to make many commits in a single process (e.g., the recently builtin "git am"), it means that you'll get long strings of commits with identical committer timestamps (whereas before, we invoked "git commit" many times and got true timestamps). This patch addresses it by letting callers reset the cached time, which means they'll get a fresh time on their next call to git_committer_info() or git_author_info(). The first caller to do so is "git am", which resets the time for each patch it applies. It would be nice if we could just do this automatically before filling in the ident fields of commit and tag objects. Unfortunately, it's hard to know where a particular logical operation begins and ends. For instance, if commit_tree_extended() were to call reset_ident_date() before getting the committer/author ident, that doesn't quite work; sometimes the author info is passed in to us as a parameter, and it may or may not have come from a previous call to ident_default_date(). So in those cases, we lose the property that the committer and the author timestamp always match. You could similarly put a date-reset at the end of commit_tree_extended(). That actually works in the current code base, but it's fragile. It makes the assumption that after commit_tree_extended() finishes, the caller has no other operations that would logically want to fall into the same timestamp. So instead we provide the tool to easily do the reset, and let the high-level callers use it to annotate their own logical operations. There's no automated test, because it would be inherently racy (it depends on whether the program takes multiple seconds to run). But you can see the effect with something like: # make a fake 100-patch series top=$(git rev-parse HEAD) bottom=$(git rev-list --first-parent -100 HEAD | tail -n 1) git log --format=email --reverse --first-parent \ --binary -m -p $bottom..$top >patch # now apply it; this presumably takes multiple seconds git checkout --detach $bottom git am <patch # now count the number of distinct committer times; # prior to this patch, there would only be one, but # now we'd typically see several. git log --format=%ct $bottom.. | sort -u Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Helped-by: Paul Tan <pyokagan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This ends up with a lot of redundant conditionals, like checking want_name repeatedly. Worse, we want to know in many cases whether we are using the "default" ident, and we do so by comparing directly to the global strbuf, which violates the abstraction of the ident_default_* functions. Let's reorganize the function into a hierarchy of conditionals to handle similar cases together. The only case that doesn't just work naturally for this is that of an empty name, where our advice is different based on whether we came from ident_default_name() or not.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged. By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter. This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(), namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of them. The changes contained in this patch are: * introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch] * mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the respective thin wrapper. After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take over the shorter name strbuf_getline(). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This is OK for making a commit, where we have set IDENT_STRICT and would want to bail on bogus input. But for something like a reflog, where the ident is "best effort", it can be pain. For instance, even running "git clone" with a UID that is not in /etc/passwd will result in git barfing, just because we can't find an ident to put in the reflog. Instead of dying in xgetpwuid_self, we can instead return a fallback value, and set a "bogus" flag. For the username in an email, we already have a "default_email_is_bogus" flag. For the name field, we introduce (and check) a matching "default_name_is_bogus" flag. As a bonus, this means you now get the usual "tell me who you are" advice instead of just a "no such user" error. No tests, as this is dependent on configuration outside of git's control. However, I did confirm that it behaves sensibly when I delete myself from the local /etc/passwd (reflogs get written, and commits complain).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many of the date functions write into fixed-size buffers. This is a minor pain, as we have to take special precautions, and frequently end up copying the result into a strbuf or heap-allocated buffer anyway (for which we sometimes use strcpy!). Let's instead teach parse_date, datestamp, etc to write to a strbuf. The obvious downside is that we might need to perform a heap allocation where we otherwise would not need to. However, it turns out that the only two new allocations required are: 1. In test-date.c, where we don't care about efficiency. 2. In determine_author_info, which is not performance critical (and where the use of a strbuf will help later refactoring).

* | config --global --edit: create a template file if neededMatthieu Moy2014-07-251-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the user has no ~/.gitconfig file, git config --global --edit used to launch an editor on an nonexistant file name. Instead, create a file with a default content before launching the editor. The template contains only commented-out entries, to save a few keystrokes for the user. If the values are guessed properly, the user will only have to uncomment the entries. Advanced users teaching newbies can create a minimalistic configuration faster for newbies. Beginners reading a tutorial advising to run "git config --global --edit" as a first step will be slightly more guided for their first contact with Git.

Given this input: Your Name <email@example.com> 123456789 -0500\n We assume the name starts the line and runs until the first "<". That starts the email address, which runs until the first ">". Everything after that is assumed to be the timestamp. This works fine in the normal case, but is easily broken by corrupted ident lines that contain an extra ">". Some examples seen in the wild are: 1. Name <email>-<> 123456789 -0500\n 2. Name <email> <Name<email>> 123456789 -0500\n 3. Name1 <email1>, Name2 <email2> 123456789 -0500\n Currently each of these produces some email address (which is not necessarily the one the user intended) and end up with a NULL date (which is generally interpreted as the epoch by "git log" and friends). But in each case we could get the correct timestamp simply by parsing from the right-hand side, looking backwards for the final ">", and then reading the timestamp from there. In general, it's a losing battle to try to automatically guess what the user meant with their broken crud. But this particular workaround is probably worth doing. One, it's dirt simple, and can't impact non-broken cases. Two, it doesn't catch a single breakage we've seen, but rather a large class of errors (i.e., any breakage inside the email angle brackets may affect the email, but won't spill over into the timestamp parsing). And three, the timestamp is arguably more valuable to get right, because it can affect correctness (e.g., in --until cutoffs). This patch implements the right-to-left scheme described above. We adjust the tests in t4212, which generate a commit with such a broken ident, and now gets the timestamp right. We also add a test that fsck continues to detect the breakage.

* | format-patch: print in-body "From" only when neededjk/format-patch-fromJeff King2013-09-201-0/+29
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit a908047 taught format-patch the "--from" option, which places the author ident into an in-body from header, and uses the committer ident in the rfc822 from header. The documentation claims that it will omit the in-body header when it is the same as the rfc822 header, but the code never implemented that behavior. This patch completes the feature by comparing the two idents and doing nothing when they are the same (this is the same as simply omitting the in-body header, as the two are by definition indistinguishable in this case). This makes it reasonable to turn on "--from" all the time (if it matches your particular workflow), rather than only using it when exporting other people's patches.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We keep track of whether the user ident was given to us explicitly, or if we guessed at it from system parameters like username and hostname. However, we kept only a single variable. This covers the common cases (because the author and committer will usually come from the same explicit source), but can miss two cases: 1. GIT_COMMITTER_* is set explicitly, but we fallback for GIT_AUTHOR. We claim the ident is explicit, even though the author is not. 2. GIT_AUTHOR_* is set and we ask for author ident, but not committer ident. We will claim the ident is implicit, even though it is explicit. This patch uses two variables instead of one, updates both when we set the "fallback" values, and updates them individually when we read from the environment. Rather than keep user_ident_sufficiently_given as a compatibility wrapper, we update the only two callers to check the committer_ident, which matches their intent and what was happening already.

When future commits add more quality checks on the identity, each of these callers would want to use those checks, too.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most callers want to see all of "$name <$email> $date", but a few want only limited parts, omitting the date, or even the name. We already have IDENT_NO_DATE to handle the date part, but there's not a good option for getting just the email. Callers have to done one of: 1. Call ident_default_email; this does not respect environment variables, nor does it promise to trim whitespace or other crud from the result. 2. Call git_{committer,author}_info; this returns the name and email, leaving the caller to parse out the wanted bits. This patch adds IDENT_NO_NAME; it stops short of adding IDENT_NO_EMAIL, as no callers want it (nor are likely to), and it complicates the error handling of the function. When no name is requested, the angle brackets (<>) around the email address are also omitted. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
