* [PATCH 0/9] more robustness against pack corruptions
From: Nicolas Pitre @ 2008-10-29 23:02 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Junio C Hamano; +Cc: git

A few months ago I produced a set of patches to allow git to work even
in the presence of pack corruption given that the corrupted objects have
a good duplicate in the object store.  Turns out that this work was
rather incomplete and covered only a limited set of cases.

This series extend coverage to all cases I could think about, and make
repack-objects able to create a good pack in such conditions to "fix"
the corruption without having to perform a full repack.

Yes, this is all about the small and trivial patch I posted a while ago
that I intended to repost with a test case.  Well, the test failed
miserably, resulting in this series before it finally all passed.  ;-)

* [PATCH 1/9] close another possibility for propagating pack corruption
From: Nicolas Pitre @ 2008-10-29 23:02 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Junio C Hamano; +Cc: git
In-Reply-To: <1225321372-6570-1-git-send-email-nico@cam.org>

Abstract
--------

With index v2 we have a per object CRC to allow quick and safe reuse of
pack data when repacking.  this, however, doesn't currently prevent a
stealth corruption from being propagated into a new pack when _not_
reusing pack data as demonstrated by the modification to t5302 included
here.

The Context
-----------

The Git database is all checksumed with SHA1 hashes.  Any kind of
corruption can be confirmed by verifying this per object hash against
corresponding data.  However this can be costly to perform systematically
and therefore this check is often not performed at run time when
accessing the object database.

First, the loose object format is entirely compressed with zlib which
already provide a CRC verification of its own when inflating data.  Any
disk corruption would be caught already in this case.

Then, packed objects are also compressed with zlib but only for their
actual payload.  The object headers and delta base references are not
deflated for obvious performance reasons, however this leave them
vulnerable to potentially undetected disk corruptions.  Object types
are often validated against the expected type when they're requested,
and deflated size must always match the size recorded in the object header,
so those cases are pretty much covered as well.

Where corruptions could go unnoticed is in the delta base reference.
Of course, in the OBJ_REF_DELTA case,  the odds for a SHA1 reference to
get corrupted so it actually matches the SHA1 of another object with the
same size (the delta header stores the expected size of the base object
to apply against) are virtually zero.  In the OBJ_OFS_DELTA case, the
reference is a pack offset which would have to match the start boundary
of a different base object but still with the same size, and although this
is relatively much more "probable" than in the OBJ_REF_DELTA case, the
probability is also about zero in absolute terms.  Still, the possibility
exists as demonstrated in t5302 and is certainly greater than a SHA1
collision, especially in the OBJ_OFS_DELTA case which is now the default
when repacking.

Again, repacking by reusing existing pack data is OK since the per object
CRC provided by index v2 guards against any such corruptions. What t5302
failed to test is a full repack in such case.

The Solution
------------

As unlikely as this kind of stealth corruption can be in practice, it
certainly isn't acceptable to propagate it into a freshly created pack.
But, because this is so unlikely, we don't want to pay the run time cost
associated with extra validation checks all the time either.  Furthermore,
consequences of such corruption in anything but repacking should be rather
visible, and even if it could be quite unpleasant, it still has far less
severe consequences than actively creating bad packs.

So the best compromize is to check packed object CRC when unpacking
objects, and only during the compression/writing phase of a repack, and
only when not streaming the result.  The cost of this is minimal (less
than 1% CPU time), and visible only with a full repack.

Someone with a stats background could provide an objective evaluation of
this, but I suspect that it's bad RAM that has more potential for data
corruptions at this point, even in those cases where this extra check
is not performed.  Still, it is best to prevent a known hole for
corruption when recreating object data into a new pack.

What about the streamed pack case?  Well, any client receiving a pack
must always consider that pack as untrusty and perform full validation
anyway, hence no such stealth corruption could be propagated to remote
repositoryes already.  It is therefore worthless doing local validation
in that case.

* [PATCH 2/9] better validation on delta base object offsets
From: Nicolas Pitre @ 2008-10-29 23:02 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Junio C Hamano; +Cc: git
In-Reply-To: <1225321372-6570-2-git-send-email-nico@cam.org>

In one case, it was possible to have a bad offset equal to 0 effectively
pointing a delta onto itself and crashing git after too many recursions.
In the other cases, a negative offset could result due to off_t being
signed.  Catch those.

* [PATCH 3/9] make unpack_object_header() non fatal
From: Nicolas Pitre @ 2008-10-29 23:02 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Junio C Hamano; +Cc: git
In-Reply-To: <1225321372-6570-3-git-send-email-nico@cam.org>

It is possible to have pack corruption in the object header.  Currently
unpack_object_header() simply die() on them instead of letting the caller
deal with that gracefully.

So let's have unpack_object_header() return an error instead, and find
a better name for unpack_object_header_gently() in that context.  All
callers of unpack_object_header() are ready for it.

The check_object() function tries to get away with the least amount of
pack access possible when it already has partial information on given
object rather than calling the more costly packed_object_info().

When things don't look right, it should just give up and fall back to
packed_object_info() directly instead of die()'ing.

* [PATCH 6/9] make find_pack_revindex() aware of the nasty world
From: Nicolas Pitre @ 2008-10-29 23:02 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Junio C Hamano; +Cc: git
In-Reply-To: <1225321372-6570-6-git-send-email-nico@cam.org>

It currently calls die() whenever given offset is not found thinking
that such thing should never happen.  But this offset may come from a
corrupted pack whych _could_ happen and not be found.  Callers should
deal with this possibility gracefully instead.

* [PATCH 7/9] pack-objects: allow "fixing" a corrupted pack without a full repack
From: Nicolas Pitre @ 2008-10-29 23:02 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Junio C Hamano; +Cc: git
In-Reply-To: <1225321372-6570-7-git-send-email-nico@cam.org>

When the pack data to be reused is found to be bad, let's fall back to
full object access through the generic path which has its own strategies
to find alternate object sources in that case.  This allows for "fixing"
a corrupted pack simply by copying either another pack containing the
object(s) found to be bad, or the loose object itself, into the object
store and launch a repack without the need for -f.

* Pull request for sub-tree merge into /contrib/gitstats
From: Sverre Rabbelier @ 2008-10-29 23:06 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Junio C Hamano, Git Mailinglist

My work is available in the git repository at:

  git://repo.or.cz/git-stats.git master

Please use a subtree merge to put this in contrib/gitstats.

David Symonds (2):
      Insert the git_stats path to the start of os.sys.path, not 1 element in.
      Fix some spelling mistakes.

Sverre Rabbelier (237):
      Created a script to setup a repo to test metrics on.
      Converted the setupRepo script to python to allow creating the same repo.
      Added the use cases in text form.
      Added a README.
      Initial commit for notes branch
      Changelog for 28-05-2008

      Changelog for 31-05-2008
      Created a script that aggregates author activity in one part of
the content.
      Updated the script to handle merges and to treat '-' as 0.
      Modified author.activityInArea to take a list of strings instead
of a file.
      Added a module containing the wrappers for the commands.
      Replaced funny characters in use-cases.txt with whitespace.
      Created a script that handles index related activities.
      Added a script to handle data mining related to commit history.
      Created a 'touched' command in the wrapper module.
      Added pathsTouched to the history module.
      Created a commitTouched function and a prettyPrint helper function
      Wrapped the use-cases.txt document at ~72 characters.
      Created a list of metrics that can be used to indentify fixes.
      Added three more data mining functions to the history module
      Gave the setupRepo script some major TLC.
      Added commitdiffEqual functionality to the history module.
      Creating the repository in a temp directory, use tempfile.gettempdir().
      Improved the metrics documentation.
      Use 'os.path.join(a, b)' rather than 'a + os.sep + b'.
      Removed try/except from setupRepo but added a manual raise
      Use the same configurations as test-lib.sh in setupRepo
      Copied the test-lib.sh script from git.git/t
      Modified test-lib.sh to use ~/code/git as git dir.
      Added a basic test that sets up our test repository.
      Added a test that verifies the HEAD revision hash
      There is now a testcase to check HEAD, don't do it in setupRepo
      Added a basic dispatcher to stats.py.
      Moved things around a lot, and made commitTouches fixup nonrelative paths
      Added basic dispatching functionality for diff
      Added a __init__.py file since every module needs one
      Made stats.py add the directory containing git_stats to the path
      Moved stats.py up one directory
      We no longer require running from the root of the repository
      Prefixed private methods with _ and and made parseFileDiff
accept larger diffs
      Change 'PATHS' to 'COMMIT COMMIT' in the usage text
      Finished the dispatching function for commit.
      Moved stats.py back to the git_stats directory
      Removed the $GIT_STATS_PATH related code
      Removed extra newlines and replaced import with 'from .. import ..'
      Moved stats.py back up again.
      Moved diff.diffContains to commit.logContains
      Removed the executable bit on author.py and index.py
      Added dispatching to branch and finished branchList
      Added dispatching to the author module
      Added dispatching to the index module
      Started on testing author.py and found the first bug so far
      Bugfix for the author filter in author.py
      Created a test case to point out an unimplemented function
      Added a testcase to point out wrong output for 'stats.py branch -c'
      Bugfix for the branchList output in branch.py
      Finished the branch testcases, but no test for -r switch yet
      The testcases require two patches to git-python to run successfully

Cool!

No, we aren't hosted in any repository yet.  The pom file exists to
make it easier for people who prefer maven to build, but its not the
primary build system for jgit.

Use a Transport instance to execute a default fetch (no args) on say
the "remote" origin.  That will download the objects to the local
database, but it won't update a working directory.  But I'm not sure
you would care about the working directory in the backend of Jira.

Yea, about that, we wanted to write more tutorials on the API...  ;-)

How is this going to look in the "What's in git.git" email?
We don't use ChangeLog files in git.git and we don't have
notes branches, and we already have a README.

Most stuff in contrib/ has its commit messages with a prefix string
to make it more clear when looking at the shortlog what is being
impacted.  Maybe this should be re-written with filter-branch to
include a prefix before it merges.

If those are not significant enough to have a proper description, then 
I'd suggest you use 'git rebase -i' and its "squash" command to fold 
them into the appropriate commit.

They are there because the work was done incrementally, having them as
seperate commits shows when the changelog was modified. Having a
description for a change to the changelog is pretty senseless, since
it would be the same text as what is in the diff.

That said, sure, I can squash those commits no problem.

Sure, I'm fine with rewriting all commit messages to have a "gitstats:" prefix.

Basically I stole the pgm.Fetch code:

Transport tn = Transport.open(repository, "origin");
final FetchResult r;
List<RefSpec> toget = new ArrayList<RefSpec>();
try {
	r = tn.fetch(new TextProgressMonitor(), toget);
} finally {
	tn.close();
}

Can I assume that this enough to update the database?  If so I think  
I'm doing what you're suggesting.  After this (and not shown) is some  
logging code taken from Fetch, which results in the following:

 From /Users/longman/workspace2/work/../masterRepo/
     131dcf5..078d43f  master     -> origin/master

but there doesn't appear to be any specific mention of the incoming  
changes.

Well, the egit does provide some examples, just there's another API  
involved which can be confusing.  The code in the jira git plugin the  
key classes are GitManagerImpl and RevisionIndexer, but the  
RevisionIndexer has some Lucene (text search engine) API mixed-in.  
Plus I'm still even learning about git much less the jgit api so I  
can't vouch for quality or correctness ;-).  I could snip some code  
out and send it to you off-list for inclusion in the wiki maybe.

You would not need to use the temporary "revs" file by using something 
(totally untested, of course):

git filter-branch --commit-filter '
  if git diff-tree --exit-status -q "$GIT_COMMIT";
  then
    git commit-tree "$@";
  else
    skip_commit "$@";
  fi' HEAD

Of course, you could also mention that you could use

	git log --cherry-pick -p --pretty=format: ..<branch>@{1}

to verify that all skipped commits had empty diffs.  That one is also 
totally untested.

Ciao,
Dscho

Why not put the git diff-tree in the commit filter?

Is this tested?  It doesn't look like it does what the comment says...
surely you have to compare with the previous commit, not the null
commit?

* Re: Encoding problems using git-svn

In-Reply-To: <8b168cfb0810282014r789ac01dnec51824de1078f0@mail.gmail.com>

Ok, I made a quick change in git-svn script and seems like is working
now in my system with locale set to iso-8859-1.

Dunno if this is the right place to post this, but I hope someone
knowledgeable see this and tells if this would work as a general fix.

This patch is against 1.6.0.2

* [PATCH] Documentation: add a planning document for the next CLI revamp
From: Sam Vilain @ 2008-10-30  3:48 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git, git; +Cc: Sam Vilain, Sam Vilain

From: Sam Vilain <samv@vilain.net>

For cross-command CLI changes to be effective, they need to be
cohesively planned.  Add a planning document for this next set of
changes.

Signed-off-by: Sam Vilain <sam@vilain.net>

 Some suggestions, which have been briefly scanned over by some of the
 (remaining @4pm) GitTogether attendees.

 Please keep it constructive! :)

+GIT command line revamp
+=======================
+
+This design document is designed for review and critique over planned
+direction for changing the command set used by git, rather than
+reviewing and critiquing individual changes.
+
+In general, old commands will be grandfathered for a year or longer,
+and all plumbing commands will still work as originally designed.
+
+Please bear in mind when critiquing that each of these changes might
+themselves have a progressive implementation, for instance the new
+behaviour being optional initially.
+
+Please try to be positive with your comments; let's try to come up
+with solutions and not argue about the details of the solutions
+presented until those details are submitted.  In particular, critical
+comments that do not acknowledge the presence of a problem are
+worthless at this stage.
+
+Add/rm/reset/checkout/revert
+----------------------------
+
+Many find these confusing.
+
+  * 'git stage' would do what 'git add' does now.
+
+  * 'git unstage' would do what 'git reset --' does now
+
+  * 'git status' would encourage the user to use
+    'git diff --staged' to see staged changes as a patch
+
+  * 'git commit' with no changes should give useful information about
+    using 'git stage', 'git commit -a' or 'git commit filename ...'
+
+  * 'git add' and 'git rm': no change
+
+  * 'git update-index' considered plumbing, not changed
+
+  * 'git revert' deprecated in favour of 'git cherry-pick --revert'
+
+  * 'git undo' would do what 'git checkout HEAD --' does now
+
+  * 'git checkout branch' would, if there is a remote branch called
+    'branch' on exactly one remote, do what
+    'git checkout -b branch thatremote/branch' does now.  If it is
+    ambiguous, it would be an error, forcing the explicit notation.
+
+  * 'git branch --switch' : alternative to checkout
+
+
+Push/pull
+---------
+
+These commands are asymmetric, and this seems mostly historical.
+
+  * 'git push --matching' does what 'git push' does today (without
+    explicit configuration)
+
+  * 'git push' with no ref args and no 'push =' configuration does
+    what:
+    'git push origin $(git symbolic-ref HEAD | sed "s!refs/heads/!!")'
+    does today.  ie, it only pushes the current branch.
+    If a branch was defined in branch.<name>.push, push to that ref
+    instead of the matching one.  If there is no matching ref, and
+    there is a branch.<name>.merge, push back there.
+
+  * 'git pull' behaviour unchanged
+
+  * 'git push' to checked out branch of non-bare repository not
+    allowed without special configuration.  Configuration available
+    that allows working directory to be updated, known caveats
+    notwithstanding.  Ideally, it would refuse only in situations
+    where a broken working copy would be left (because you couldn't
+    fix it), and work when it can be known to be safe.
+
+
+Informational
+-------------
+
+  * 'git branch' should default to '--color=auto -v'
+
+  * 'git tag -l' should show more information
+
+
+Working with patches
+--------------------
+
+  * 'git send-email' should prompt for all SMTP-related information
+    about sending e-mail when it is running with no configuration.
+    Because these days /usr/lib/sendmail is rarely configured
+    correctly.
+
+  * other git send-email functionality which has bitten people -
+    particularly building the recipient list - should prompt for
+    confirmation until configured to be automatic.
+
+  * 'git am -3' the default; with global option to make it not the
+    default for those that prefer the speed of -2
+
+
+Submodules
+----------
+
+  * submodules should be able to refer to symbolic ref names, svn
+    style - in the .gitmodules file.  The actual commit used is still
+    recorded in the index.
+
+  * when switching branches, if the checked out revision of a submodule
+    changes, then it should be switched as well
+
+  * 'git submodule update' should be able to be triggered when
+    switching branches (but not be the default behaviour)
+
+
+Others
+------
+
+  * 'git export' command that does what
+    'git archive --format=tar --prefix=dir | tar x' does now
+
+  * conflicted merges should point the user immediately to
+    'git mergetool' and mention you need to use 'git stage' to mark
+    resolved files and 'git commit' when done.
+
+  * 'git init --server' (or similar) should do everything required for
+    exporting::
+----
+chmod -R a+rX
+touch git-daemon-export-ok
+git gc
+git update-server-info
+chmod u+x .git/hooks/post-update
+git config core.sharedrepository=1
+----

As things currently stand this is not achievable behaviour.  The
behaviour of 'git push' is to push all matching refs.  If you are lucky
this is what you intended, but it also pushes any changes to *other*
branches that you have made.

I have tabled a change proposal to make it work as you suggest in a
separate thread.
