Subject: [PATCH] fetch-pack: do not remove .git/shallow file when --depth is not specified
Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2013 09:17:26 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1377483446-24834-1-git-send-email-pclouds@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130826002202.GA26940@camk.edu.pl>

fetch_pack() can remove .git/shallow file when a shallow repository
becomes a full one again. This behavior is triggered incorrectly when
tags are also fetched because fetch_pack() will be called twice. At
the first fetch_pack() call:

 - shallow_lock is set up
 - alternate_shallow_file points to shallow_lock.filename, which is
   "shallow.lock"
 - commit_lock_file is called, which sets shallow_lock.filename to "".
   alternate_shallow_file also becomes "" because it points to the
   same memory.

At the second call, setup_alternate_shallow() is not called and
alternate_shallow_file remains "". It's mistaken as unshallow case and
.git/shallow is removed. The end result is a broken repository.

Fix this by always initializing alternate_shallow_file when
fetch_pack() is called. As an extra measure, check if args->depth > 0
before commit/rollback shallow file.

 3) Move alternate_shallow_file to struct fetch_pack_args, which will
    always be zero'd by memset

 I think #1 is better. It's the original condition before 6035d6a
 replaces it with "if (alternate_shallow_file)". Apparently I did not
 see that fetch_pack() could be called twice. #3 is also an option,
 but we still need static "shallow_lock" anyway, so I disregarded it.
