* [StGit PATCH 8/8] Remove the --force flag to "stg rebase" and "stg pull"
From: Karl Hasselström @ 2007-10-07 23:18 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Catalin Marinas; +Cc: git
In-Reply-To: <20071007231446.12626.14259.stgit@yoghurt>

Instead, always behave as if the force flag was given; that is, don't
check if rebasing would leave a dangling commit behind. Reasons:

  * The check for this was very strict and caused a lot of false
    positives.

  * Everything is recorded in the reflog, so we can't actually lose
    commits.

This fixes bug 9181.

Just clone it.  The clone will be much smaller.

* [StGit PATCH 0/5] Make push and refresh subdirectory safe
From: Karl Hasselström @ 2007-10-07 23:24 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Catalin Marinas; +Cc: git

This series makes push and refresh safe to use from subdirectories, by
using the infrastructure of the first patch to cd to the top of the
worktree.

As stated in the commit messages, this may not be an optimal long-term
solution, but we need to fix this quick. And the infrastructure isn't
good only for cd'ing to the top of the worktree.

This series is also available from

  git://repo.or.cz/stgit/kha.git safe

* [StGit PATCH 1/5] Infrastructure for current directory handling
From: Karl Hasselström @ 2007-10-07 23:24 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Catalin Marinas; +Cc: git
In-Reply-To: <20071007231949.13070.49517.stgit@yoghurt>

Add infrastructure to allow commands to specify if they need a git
repository, if they need to be called from within the working tree,
and if they should cd to the root of the working tree before doing
anything else.

For now, all commands are set to just require a repository (except
"stg clone", which is set to require nothing), which means the only
thing that's added is some very light error checking. The idea is to
tighten this for commands that turn out to need it.

* [StGit PATCH 3/5] Make "stg push" subdirectory safe
From: Karl Hasselström @ 2007-10-07 23:24 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Catalin Marinas; +Cc: git
In-Reply-To: <20071007231949.13070.49517.stgit@yoghurt>

Make "stg push" subdirectory safe by letting it internally cd up to
the top of the worktree. This is possibly not the best long-term fix;
one could argue that the push subroutine should instead be safe to run
from a subdirectory. However, pushing from a subdirectory currently
erases the parts of a patch that doesn't touch that subdirectory, and
that has to be fixed.

Currently, it doesn't work. Or rather, it does work for changes that
are already in the index, which is the case for newly added files; but
it doesn't work for changes that aren't in the index.

Actually, I am quite certain that git clone does not produce the first 
line; But I think that it was necessary to put in some line like that in 
older git, where the first ref was the one being merged by a pull.

But as I suspected, and Daniel replied, too, your issue is that both lines 
match "master".

You might want to delete the first line, and use "branch.<name>.remote" 
and "branch.<name>.merge" to force pull to merge "master" instead.

In the long run, it might be a good idea to cull duplicates in git-fetch, 
but for the moment I have enough other stuff to do ;-)

I think that all makes a lot of sense.  Three comments below about

I agree entirely.  That "Next" button is stupid stupid stupid.
What was I smoking that day?  :-)

I'm concerned about putting them into the Repository menu only
as then the main window is competely void and users are sort of
wondering what they should do next.  I think we should actually
do both.  Put them into the menu and as push buttons on the window.

This string needs to be i18n'd with [mc ...].

> +	listbox $w_body.recentlist \

Please make a field in this class called say "w_recentlist"
so you can use that field name instead of $w_body.recentlist.
This simplifies the code if we ever have to change the actual path
that the widget resides at, such as to alter the layout.

Why treat this as a Tcl list in a single value?  Why not make it
a true multi-value configuration entry in ~/.gitconfig, like how
remote.$name.fetch is a multi-value entry?  Does Windows allow
you to put " in a path name?  Because the above regex will make
a list of paths that contains " in one of the entries invalid.

I think you also want to have this function return back immediately
if [lsearch $recent $path] >= 0 as then you don't invoke git-config
to perform a no-op change in the configuration file.  As you well
know forking on Windows is a major cost.  We shouldn't run git-config
just because the user opened a recent repository.

In this case, I suggest just pushing it to git-gui-i18n.git, maybe as a 
temporary branch "for-shawn", and send a pull request.  That's the best 
way to ensure that nothing gets mangled.

Sweet, finally solved!  That brings test2 down to 340K.

However, the solution seems somewhat involved...it requires running
git-filter-branch, git reset, removing the .git/refs/original/
directory, editing .git/packed-refs in some editor, running git reflog
expire, cloning the resulting repository, and running git gc yet
again.  It seems like there has to be an easier way.  (Anyone have
one?)

Oh, and git-filter-branch could really use some explanatory note about
how to actually complete rewriting the history.

Thanks,
Elijah

From: Karl Hasselström @ 2007-10-07 23:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

In-Reply-To: <20071007232943.GA1262@diana.vm.bytemark.co.uk>

There's nothing new here; it's all just rebased on top of the updated
safe branch. In order, we have

  * David's patches that remove the "top" and "bottom" patch fields.
    These need a format version upgrade function (trivial), but are
    otherwise ready, I think.

  * David's conflict refactoring series, with some fixes by me, and
    removal of some commands that become superfluous. Almost ready,
    but it makes ugly conflict markers, and "stg resolved" should
    probably be removed.

The following changes since commit 2299c463794f214b750ecc33e24779243ddc5aff:
  Karl Hasselström (1):
        Make "stg refresh" subdirectory safe

are available in the git repository at:

  git://repo.or.cz/stgit/kha.git experimental

David Kågedal (9):
      Check bottom and invariants
      Remove the 'bottom' field
      Remove the 'top' field
      Split git.merge into two functions
      Leave working dir and index alone after failed (conflicting) push
      Added a test case to check what happens when push finds a conflict
      Simplify merge_recursive
      Use the output from merge-recursive to list conflicts
      Ask git about unmerged files

Karl Hasselström (9):
      Better error message if merge fails
      Fix "stg resolved" to work with new conflict representation
      Refactoring: pass more than one file to resolved()
      We keep the different stages of a conflict in the index now
      Clean up the logic in "stg resolved"
      "stg status --reset" is not needed anymore
      Remove "stg add"
      Remove "stg rm"
      Remove "stg cp"

Yea, that's an even better option.  :-)

I think this fix is better to begin with.  I found it especially confusing
when there was only a single line commit message.  Now the header looks
like a header :-)

you missed something. Your example compresses to about 124k.

I believe this should work:

git reflog expire --all --expire-unreachable=0
git gc --prune

Warning: all unreachable references will be removed!

What version of git are you running?  I reran all the steps to which
you responded (repeated below for clarity) with git-1.5.3.3 and still
get 11MB.  Also, you must have different filesystem extents than me
since an empty git repo takes 196k here[1], so I don't think any repo
is going to get down to 124k.

My understanding of the steps you suggest would work:

# Make a small repo
mkdir test
cd test
git init
echo hi > there
git add there
git commit -m 'Small repo'

# Add a random 10M binary file
dd if=/dev/urandom of=testme.txt count=10 bs=1M
git add testme.txt
git commit -m 'Add big binary file'

# Remove the 10M binary file
git rm testme.txt
git commit -m 'Remove big binary file'

# Compress the repo, see how big the repo is
git gc --aggressive --prune
du -ks .                       # 10548K
du -ks .git                    # 10532K

# Try to rewrite history to remove the binary file
git-filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -f testme.txt' HEAD
git reset --hard

# Try to recompress and clean up, then check the new size
git gc --aggressive --prune
du -ks .                       # 10580K !?!?!?
du -ks .git                    # 10564K

# Do the stuff Alex suggests to trim the history
rm -rf .git/refs/original/
vi .git/packed-refs
# Use vi to remove the line referring to refs/original...
git reflog expire --all
git gc --aggressive --prune
du -ks .                      # Still 10564K


Thanks,
Elijah

[1] An empty git repo takes 196k for me, as can be seen by:
$mkdir tmp
$cd tmp
$git init
$du -hs .
196K    .

Yes, this seems to work.  So the history-rewriting steps are

git-filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -f testme.txt' HEAD
git reset --hard
rm -rf .git/refs/original/
vi .git/packed-refs
# Use vi to remove the line referring to refs/original...
git reflog expire --all --expire-unreachable=0
git gc --prune

Seems like a wrapper is needed.  :-)

> Warning: all unreachable references will be removed!

What other scenarios could lead to unreachable references?  I don't
know how to determine whether this is safe or not (except that these
were test repositories anyway, so I don't care what happens to them).

Thanks!

It should be as easy as git filter-branch and git clone.

It does what it should do.  It is _your_ task to look at refs/original/* 
if everything went alright.  Then you just delete the checked refs.

What made your case so cumbersome was that you wanted the big objects out 
_now_, instead of having them in for a grace period.  BTW this grace 
period is in place to help _you_, not the program.  (In case you fscked up 
and need those objects back.)

Yes, a git filter-branch, git clone, AND git gc in the clone avoids
all those funny ref editing commands.  However, cloning a 5.6GB repo
(the size of one of the real repos I'm dealing with) will likely take
a long time (and may push me past the limits of disk space), so using
other steps to avoid the need to clone actually seems nicer.

Sure, I think that's a sane default.  And I think it's fine that it
should be my task to look at the refs to check that everything worked
okay and delete them.  But it's nearly impossible to figure out how to
do that!  _That_ is my complaint.  I got multiple misleading or
incomplete answers (both on this list and in #git) before getting some
working solutions, so this task is obviously far from trivial.  I
really think that adding instructions about how to check and delete
the relevant refs would be a very useful addition to the
documentation.

Thanks everyone for the help!

Elijah

It seems odd to me, by the way, that filter-branch has its own
home-grown backup mechanism.  Lots of other commands can "lose" commits,
but none of them keep an extra backup like this.

And I find it tedious for quicker jobs which it might otherwise be
useful for (e.g. rewrites of commits in my tree not yet in upstream),
unless I wrap it in a script that cleans up after itself.
