| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Optimize check_refname_component using SSE2 on x86_64. git rev-parse HEAD is a good test-case for this, since it does almost nothing except parse refs. For one particular repo with about 60k refs, almost all packed, the timings are: Look up table: 29 ms SSE2: 23 ms This cuts about 20% off of the runtime. Ondřej Bílka <neleai@seznam.cz> suggested an SSE2 approach to the substring searches, which netted a speed boost over the SSE4.2 code I had initially written.

| * | refs.c: change read_ref_at to use the reflog iteratorsrs/read-ref-atRonnie Sahlberg2014-06-031-105/+103
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | read_ref_at has its own parsing of the reflog file for no really good reason so lets change this to use the existing reflog iterators. This removes one instance where we manually unmarshall the reflog file format. Remove the now redundant ref_msg function. Log messages for errors are changed slightly. We no longer print the file name for the reflog, instead we refer to it as 'Log for ref <refname>'. This might be a minor useability regression, but I don't really think so, since experienced users would know where the log is anyway and inexperienced users would not know what to do about/how to repair 'Log ... has gap ...' anyway. Adapt the t1400 test to handle the change in log messages. Signed-off-by: Ronnie Sahlberg <sahlberg@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Avoid this using the new warn_dangling_symrefs() function which makes one pass over all refs and checks for all the deleted refs in one go, after they have all been deleted.

| |/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When 'git remote rm' or 'git remote prune' were used in a repository with many refs, and needed to delete many remote-tracking refs, a lot of time was spent deleting those refs since for each deleted ref, repack_without_refs() was called to rewrite packed-refs without just that deleted ref. To avoid this, call repack_without_refs() first to repack without all the refs that will be deleted, before calling delete_ref() to delete each one completely. The call to repack_without_ref() in delete_ref() then becomes a no-op, since packed-refs already won't contain any of the deleted refs.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add two new functions, reflog_exists and delete_reflog, to hide the internal reflog implementation (that they are files under .git/logs/...) from callers. Update checkout.c to use these functions in update_refs_for_switch instead of building pathnames and calling out to file access functions. Update reflog.c to use these to check if the reflog exists. Now there are still many places in reflog.c where we are still leaking the reflog storage implementation but this at least reduces the number of such dependencies by one. Finally change two places in refs.c itself to use the new function to check if a ref exists or not isntead of build-path-and-stat(). Now, this is strictly not all that important since these are in parts of refs that are implementing the actual file storage backend but on the other hand it will not hurt either.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old signature of update_refs() required a (const struct ref_update **) for its updates_orig argument. The "const" is presumably there to promise that the function will not modify the contents of the structures. But this declaration does not permit the function to be called with a (struct ref_update **), which is perfectly legitimate. C's type system is not powerful enough to express what we'd like. So remove the first "const" from the declaration. On the other hand, the function *can* promise not to modify the pointers within the array that is passed to it without inconveniencing its callers. So add a "const" that has that effect, making the final declaration (struct ref_update * const *).

This could happen if another process deletes the directory created by safe_create_leading_directories() just before we rename the file into the directory. As far as I can tell, this race could not occur internal to git. The only time that a directory under $GIT_DIR/logs is deleted is if room has to be made for a log file for a reference with the same name; for example, in the following sequence: git branch foo/bar # Creates file .git/logs/refs/heads/foo/bar git branch -d foo/bar # Deletes file but leaves .git/logs/refs/heads/foo/ git branch foo # Deletes .git/logs/refs/heads/foo/ But the only reason the last command deletes the directory is because it wants to create a file with the same name. So if another process (e.g., git branch foo/baz ) wants to create that directory, one of the two is doomed to failure anyway because of a D/F conflict.

For example, "git pack-refs --all" tries to delete the loose refs and any empty directories that are left behind. If a pack-refs process is running, then it might delete a directory that we need to put a new loose reference in. If safe_create_leading_directories() thinks this might have happened, then take its advice and try again (maximum three attempts).

| * | | sha1-name: pass len argument to interpret_branch_name()Felipe Contreras2013-09-031-1/+1
| | |/ | |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is useful to make sure we don't step outside the boundaries of what we are interpreting at the moment. For example while interpreting foobar@{u}~1, the job of interpret_branch_name() ends right before ~1, but there's no way to figure that out inside the function, unless the len argument is passed. So let's do that. Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| * | | refs: add update_refs for multiple simultaneous updatesBrad King2013-09-041-0/+100
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add 'struct ref_update' to encode the information needed to update or delete a ref (name, new sha1, optional old sha1, no-deref flag). Add function 'update_refs' accepting an array of updates to perform. First sort the input array to order locks consistently everywhere and reject multiple updates to the same ref. Then acquire locks on all refs with verified old values. Then update or delete all refs accordingly. Fail if any one lock cannot be obtained or any one old value does not match. Though the refs themselves cannot be modified together in a single atomic transaction, this function does enable some useful semantics. For example, a caller may create a new branch starting from the head of another branch and rewind the original branch at the same time. This transfers ownership of commits between branches without risk of losing commits added to the original branch by a concurrent process, or risk of a concurrent process creating the new branch first.
