* Add for_each_remote() function, and extend remote_find_tracking()Johannes Schindelin2007-07-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function for_each_remote() does exactly what the name suggests. The function remote_find_tracking() was extended to be able to search remote refs for a given local ref. The caller sets either src or dst (but not both) in the refspec parameter, and remote_find_tracking() will fill in the other and return 0. Both changes are required for the next step: simplification of git-branch's --track functionality.

* Move refspec pattern matching to match_refs().Daniel Barkalow2007-05-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This means that send-pack and http-push will support pattern refspecs, so builtin-push.c doesn't have to expand them, and also git push can just turn --tags into "refs/tags/*", further simplifying builtin-push.c check_ref_format() gets a third "conditionally okay" result for something that's valid as a pattern but not as a particular ref.

* Mechanical conversion to use prefixcmp()Junio C Hamano2007-02-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including idiotic conversions like if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3)) => if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo"))) This was done by using this script in px.perl #!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) { s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|; } if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) { s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|; } and running: $ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* short i/o: clean up the naming for the write_{in,or}_xxx familyAndy Whitcroft2007-01-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We recently introduced a write_in_full() which would either write the specified object or emit an error message and fail. In order to fix the read side we now want to introduce a read_in_full() but without an error emit. This patch cleans up the naming of this family of calls: 1) convert the existing write_or_whine() to write_or_whine_pipe() to better indicate its pipe specific nature, 2) convert the existing write_in_full() calls to write_or_whine() to better indicate its nature, 3) introduce a write_in_full() providing a write or fail semantic, and 4) convert write_or_whine() and write_or_whine_pipe() to use write_in_full().

| | | | | | | | | | | When passing the revisions list to pack-objects we do not check for errors nor short writes. Introduce a new write_in_full which will handle short writes and report errors to the caller.

* send-pack: fix pipeline.Junio C Hamano2006-12-291-5/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | send-pack builds a pipeline that runs "rev-list | pack-objects" and sends the output from pack-objects to the other side, while feeding the input side of that pipe from itself. However, the file descriptor that is given to this pipeline (so that it can be dup2(2)'ed into file descriptor 1 of pack-objects) is closed by the caller before the complex fork+exec dance! Worse yet, the caller already dup2's it to 1, so the child process did not even have to. I do not understand how this code could possibly have been working, but it somehow was working by accident. Merging the sliding mmap() code reveals this problem, presumably because it keeps one extra file descriptor open for a packfile and changes the way file descriptors are allocated. I am too tired to diagnose the problem now, but this seems to be a sensible fix. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* send-pack: tighten checks for remote namesJunio C Hamano2006-12-131-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | "git push $URL HEAD~6" created a bogus ref HEAD~6 immediately under $GIT_DIR of the remote repository. While we should keep refspecs that have arbitrary extended SHA-1 expression on the source side working (e.g. "HEAD~6:refs/tags/yesterday"), we should not create bogus ref on the other end.

* Allow git push to delete remote ref.Junio C Hamano2006-11-241-11/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows you to say git send-pack $URL :refs/heads/$branch to delete the named remote branch. The refspec $src:$dst means replace the destination ref with the object known as $src on the local side, so this is a natural extension to make an empty $src mean "No object" to delete the target.

* make git-push a bit more verboseNicolas Pitre2006-11-011-0/+1

| | | | | | | | | This adds a "int *flag" parameter to resolve_ref() and makes for_each_ref() family to call callback function with an extra "int flag" parameter.

* Add callback data to for_each_ref() family.Junio C Hamano2006-09-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a long overdue fix to the API for for_each_ref() family of functions. It allows the callers to specify a callback data pointer, so that the caller does not have to use static variables to communicate with the callback funciton. The updated for_each_ref() family takes a function of type int (*fn)(const char *, const unsigned char *, void *) and a void pointer as parameters, and calls the function with the name of the ref and its SHA-1 with the caller-supplied void pointer as parameters. The commit updates two callers, builtin-name-rev.c and builtin-pack-refs.c as an example. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are generating packs to update remote repositories we want to supply as much information as possible about the revisions that already exist to rev-list in order optimise the pack as much as possible. We need to pass two revisions for each branch we are updating in the remote repository and one for each additional branch. Where the remote repository has numerous branches we can run out of command line space to pass them. Utilise the git-rev-list --stdin mode to allow unlimited numbers of revision constraints. This allows us to move back to the much simpler unordered revision selection code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This abstracts away the size of the hash values when copying them from memory location to memory location, much as the introduction of hashcmp abstracted away hash value comparsion. A few call sites were using char* rather than unsigned char* so I added the cast rather than open hashcpy to be void*. This is a reasonable tradeoff as most call sites already use unsigned char* and the existing hashcmp is also declared to be unsigned char*. [jc: Splitted the patch to "master" part, to be followed by a patch for merge-recursive.c which is not in "master" yet.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This updates the type-enumeration constants introduced to reduce the memory footprint of "struct object" to match the type bits already used in the packfile format, by removing the former (i.e. TYPE_* constant macros) and using the latter (i.e. enum object_type) throughout the code for consistency. Eventually we can stop passing around the "type strings" entirely, and this will help - no confusion about two different integer enumeration.

* Improve git-peek-remoteLinus Torvalds2006-07-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes git-peek-remote able to basically do everything that git-ls-remote does (but obviously just for the native protocol, so no http[s]: or rsync: support). The default behaviour is the same, but you can now give a mixture of "--refs", "--tags" and "--heads" flags, where "--refs" forces git-peek-remote to only show real refs (ie none of the fakey tag lookups, but also not the special pseudo-refs like HEAD and MERGE_HEAD). The "--tags" and "--heads" flags respectively limit the output to just regular tags and heads, of course. You can still also ask to limit them by name too. You can combine the flags, so git peek-remote --refs --tags . will show all local _true_ tags, without the generated tag lookups (compare the output without the "--refs" flag). And "--tags --heads" will show both tags and heads, but will avoid (for example) any special refs outside of the standard locations. I'm also planning on adding a "--ignore-local" flag that allows us to ask it to ignore any refs that we already have in the local tree, but that's an independent thing. All this is obviously gearing up to making "git fetch" cheaper. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Shrink "struct object" a bitLinus Torvalds2006-06-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the "struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead. In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object when in 64-bit mode. Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually discarded. This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a 64-bit platform. There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example, probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious. Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx small integer constant.

Thus there is a need for logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH. - git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands. - exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in the following directories: 1. --exec-path (as used by "git") 2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable. 3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)). - git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to invoke "git-foo" commands. Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.

Here is the name mapping rules for refs. * If there is no ref mapping on the command line: - if '--all' is specified, it is equivalent to specifying <local> ":" <local> for all the existing local refs on the command line - otherwise, it is equivalent to specifying <ref> ":" <ref> for all the refs that exist on both sides. * <name> is just a shorthand for <name> ":" <name> * <src> ":" <dst> push ref that matches <src> to ref that matches <dst>. - It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of local refs. - It is an error if <dst> matches more than one remote refs. - If <dst> does not match any remote refs, either - it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the destination literally in this case. - <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must not exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched <src> locally is used as the name of the destination. For example, - "git-send-pack --all <remote>" works exactly as before; - "git-send-pack <remote> master:upstream" pushes local master to remote ref that matches "upstream". If there is no such ref, it is an error. - "git-send-pack <remote> master:refs/heads/upstream" pushes local master to remote refs/heads/upstream, even when refs/heads/upstream does not exist. - "git-send-pack <remote> master" into an empty remote repository pushes the local ref/heads/master to the remote ref/heads/master.
