[PATCH v2 0/10] cleaning up check_repository_format_gently

[Jeff King]

This is a re-roll of:

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/288017

The changes from v1 are:

  - dropped original 10/10 that got rid of GIT_REPO_VERSION defines
    (David mentioned that he's going to be expanding their use, so the
    argument that they are not used does not make sense)

  - added new 10/10 marking messages for translation (suggested by Duy)

  - added int return value to new read_repository_format(); this is
    redundant with the error value returned in the struct, but allows a
    more idiomatic:

      if (read_repository_format(&format, file) < 0)
         ...

  - drop confusing comment from 06/10, in favor of a better explanation
    in the commit message

  - fixed newline regression from v1 when printing out unknown
    extensions. Note that because we switch from looping over warning()
    or die() to sticking errors into a strbuf (which the caller then
    feeds to warning/die), the format changed a bit.  Naively, it would
    become:

      warning: unknown extension: foo
      unknown:extension: bar

    but I turned it into the more pleasant:

      warning: unknown repository extensions found:
              foo
              bar

    I think it would be better still if warning() was smart enough to
    stick its prefix in front of all lines (like advise() does). But
    that's outside the scope of this series. And it probably doesn't
    matter much either way; this is not a message we'd expect anyone to
    see routinely.

[PATCH v2 01/10] setup: document check_repository_format()

[Jeff King]

This function's interface is rather enigmatic, so let's
document it further.

While we're here, let's also drop the return value. It will
always either be "0" or the function will die (consequently,
neither of its two callers bothered to check the return).

[PATCH v2 02/10] wrap shared_repository global in get/set accessors

[Jeff King]

It would be useful to control access to the global
shared_repository, so that we can lazily load its config.
The first step to doing so is to make sure all access
goes through a set of functions.

This step is purely mechanical, and should result in no
change of behavior.

[PATCH v2 03/10] lazily load core.sharedrepository

[Jeff King]

The "shared_repository" config is loaded as part of
check_repository_format_version, but it's not quite like the
other values we check there. Something like
core.repositoryformatversion only makes sense in per-repo
config, but core.sharedrepository can be set in a per-user
config (e.g., to make all "git init" invocations shared by
default).

So it would make more sense as part of git_default_config.
Commit 457f06d (Introduce core.sharedrepository, 2005-12-22)
says:

  [...]the config variable is set in the function which
  checks the repository format. If this were done in
  git_default_config instead, a lot of programs would need
  to be modified to call git_config(git_default_config)
  first.

This is still the case today, but we have one extra trick up
our sleeve. Now that we have the git_configset
infrastructure, it's not so expensive for us to ask for a
single value. So we can simply lazy-load it on demand.

This should be OK to do in general. There are some problems
with loading config before setup_git_directory() is called,
but we shouldn't be accessing the value before then (if we
were, then it would already be broken, as the variable would
not have been set by check_repository_format_version!). The
trickiest caller is git-init, but it handles the values
manually itself.

[PATCH v2 04/10] check_repository_format_gently: stop using git_config_early

[Jeff King]

There's a chicken-and-egg problem with using the regular
git_config during the repository setup process. We get
around it here by using a special interface that lets us
specify the per-repo config, and avoid calling
git_pathdup().

But this interface doesn't actually make sense. It will look
in the system and per-user config, too; we definitely would
not want to accept a core.repositoryformatversion from
there.

The git_config_from_file interface is a better match, as it
lets us look at a single file.

There are no more callers, and it's a rather confusing

we'll leave it as a separate (static) helper function.

[PATCH v2 06/10] setup: refactor repo format reading and verification

[Jeff King]

When we want to know if we're in a git repository of
reasonable vintage, we can call check_repository_format_gently(),
which does three things:

  1. Reads the config from the .git/config file.

  2. Verifies that the version info we read is sane.

  3. Writes some global variables based on this.

There are a few things we could improve here.

One is that steps 1 and 3 happen together. So if the
verification in step 2 fails, we still clobber the global
variables. This is especially bad if we go on to try another
repository directory; we may end up with a state of mixed
config variables.

The second is there's no way to ask about the repository
version for anything besides the main repository we're in.
git-init wants to do this, and it's possible that we would
want to start doing so for submodules (e.g., to find out
which ref backend they're using).

We can improve both by splitting the first two steps into
separate functions. Now check_repository_format_gently()
calls out to steps 1 and 2, and does 3 only if step 2
succeeds.

Note that the public interface for read_repository_format()
and what check_repository_format_gently() needs from it are
not quite the same, leading us to have an extra
read_repository_format_1() helper. The extra needs from
check_repository_format_gently() will go away in a future
patch, and we can simplify this then to just the public
interface.

[PATCH v2 07/10] init: use setup.c's repo version verification

[Jeff King]

We check our templates to make sure they are from a
version of git we understand (otherwise we would init a
repository we cannot ourselves run in!). But our simple
integer check has fallen behind the times. Let's use the
helpers that setup.c provides to do it right.

[PATCH v2 08/10] setup: unify repository version callbacks

[Jeff King]

Once upon a time, check_repository_format_gently would parse
the config with a single callback, and that callback would
set up a bunch of global variables. But now that we have
separate workdirs, we have to be more careful. Commit
31e26eb (setup.c: support multi-checkout repo setup,
2014-11-30) introduced a reduced callback which omits some
values like core.worktree. In the "main" callback we call
the reduced one, and then add back in the missing variables.

Now that we have split the config-parsing from the munging
of the global variables, we can do it all with a single
callback, and keep all of the "are we in a separate workdir"
logic together.

Nobody reads this anymore, and they're not likely to; the
interesting thing is whether or not we passed
check_repository_format(), and possibly the individual
"extension" variables.
