* New script to convert p4 repositories to git - git-p4c version 1.

I couldn't use git-p4 on my system because I kept running out of memory,
and I didn't like the workflow it imposed.
Also, it had various other issues with the repo I was trying to use,
mainly because it is not an ideal repository, however those are
(generally) the fault of the particular repo I was using, and not
git-p4. (Which is an excellent script by itself).

This script is severely crippled in that it doesn't (yet) allow one to
contribute changesets back to perforce, however it manages to read from
perforce with:
* No need to rebase.
* Mangling of file names. (Especially with regards to case sensitivity).
* Tagging of revisions with the perforce changesets.
* Ability to handle branches with spaces in the name.
* Ability to pretend that perforce doesn't exist. (That's the plan,
anyway).
* Be extremely memory efficient. It does NOT require as much memory as
does git-p4, even when the size of the change is large.
* Be easy to manually modify the repository, particularly if bad things
happen.

Unfortunately, not all of the above features may be reliable yet,
however I offer this script in order to obtain hopefully constructive
feedback so that I may improve the script and make it work very well.

Once I perfect this script, I plan to work on getting changes from git
back into perforce, which I have a few ideas as to how I might do it.
(None of which require rebasing).

It requires an OS that can efficiently utilise many open files and
pipes, and can run many processes. Such as Linux.  I seriously doubt it
can work on Windows.

It is called git-p4c, because 'git-p4' was taken, and I intended to
write it in C++.  I may still rewrite it in C++ if it is found
neccessary to use it on windows. (The Perforce C++ ABI will remove the
need to fork so many processes), but I won't be doing that before I
implement the write to perforce support.

Consider this to be experimental, not yet worthy of a version number.

Remember, I crave (constructive) feedback.

Thankyou.

* Getting submodules to follow symlinks?
From: Jonathan del Strother @ 2008-12-09 12:55 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git Mailing List

My git repository contains a symlink to another repository.  I'd like
to make that second repository a submodule of the first, in such a way
that when someone else clones the repository, there's no trace of the
original symlink.

Is this possible?

In the words of 4chan: "You're doing it wrong."

If QA decides what is appropriate for the stable branch, only QA should be 
pushing to stable (not just any dev. or team) and this should be enforced.

QA can retrieve commits from individual developers or teams, via email, by 
pulling from their private repositories, or pulling from "private" 
branches in the public repository.  The last seems most appropriate for 
your organization.

I think a better workflow would be for developers to pull from "stable" but 
push to "<username>-tbr" (TBR = to be reviewed).  Team leads would review 
code by pulling from "<developer>-tbr" and if it looked okay would push 
to "<team>-tbt" (TBT = to be tested).  Of course, if they needed to 
originate a change they could pull from "stable" instead of any individual 
developer's branch.  QA would pull from "<team>-tbt", build, deploy, and 
test and if it's good push to "stable".  Some automated process would 
watch "stable" and update production from it.

This way bad commits are generally rejected before they become part of 
history.  Hooks can be used to notify team leads and QA about new commits 
for review or testing.

To this end, I'd probably forbid non-ff commits to "stable".

Oh, you are right.

I've changed the script to follow the Git's conventions (at least I've
tried),  a few more error handling and some simplification. BTW, what
do you find hard with single line && chains?

I do not sent a diff because it is almost as big as the script itself.

* [PATCH] git-p4: Fix regression in p4Where method.
From: Tor Arvid Lund @ 2008-12-09 15:41 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Junio C Hamano, Simon Hausmann; +Cc: git, Tor Arvid Lund

Unfortunately, I introduced a bug in commit 7f705dc36 (git-p4: Fix bug in
p4Where method). This happens because sometimes the result from
"p4 where <somepath>" doesn't contain a "depotFile" key, but instead a
"data" key that needs further parsing. This commit should ensure that both
of these cases are checked.

In "git pull --rebase" this is used to know the hash of the tracking branch:

        . git-parse-remote &&

        test -z "$origin" && origin=$(get_default_remote)

Huh.  So I'm digging around sha1_file.c and I'm not yet sure why
your patch makes a difference.

has_sha1_file() calls find_pack_entry() to determine which pack has
the object, and at what offset (if found).  It doesn't care about
the offset, but it does care about the successful match.

find_pack_entry() already considers the bad_object_sha1 for each
pack, before it even tries the binary search within the index.
So if the entry was known to be bad has_sha1_file() will return 0,
unless the object is loose.

Where this breaks down is if the object is being created,
its very likely we didn't attempt to read it in this process.
The bad_object_sha1 table is transient and populated only when
unpacking an object entry fails.  So for example during a merge
if a tree was stored in a pack and is corrupt and the merge
result produces that same tree object we won't write it out with
write_sha1_file() because it exists in a pack, but since we never
read it we also don't know the pack entry is corrupt.

Its horribly inefficient to read every object before we write it
back out.  The best thing to do when faced with corruption is to
stop and repack, overlaying the object database from a known good
copy of the repository so pack-objects can use the good copy when
a corrupt object is identified.

So I agree with you that changing this in write_sha1_file() is a
bad idea for the normal good cases, but I also don't see how this
patch changes anything at all... the code path you introduced is
already implemented.

I had done something like this with a post-checkout hook. After checking
out any branch, the hook sets various branch.<name>.options.

Also, I wrote a hook to enforce "only no-ff commits can move stable" and
other fun stuff. It's out on github, in a semi-documented/unannounced
project with the email/trac/etc. hooks we put in place:

Yeah. If you register the submodule and then commit, the first
repository would contain the submodule information, and anyone who loads
submodules in another clone will not see the symlink.

You both have good points.  I sort of tend to side with your argument from
convenience point of view, if only because that resembles the way how
people traditionally arrange incremental backups "a full dump on Sunday
night, and every day incremental relative to the last full dump".  Dscho's
suggestion is akin to "a full dump on Sunday night, and every day
incremental relative to the previous day".  Both form obviously can
recreate the same contents, but often "incremental since the last full
synchronization point", even though it may make bigger dumps, is easier to
handle for humans.

If $IFS is set to LF, "$*" will be $1, $2, $3 concatenated with LF in
between.  The first character in $IFS is used for that purpose..

This is perl's way of saying "you don't have the SVN perl bindings in
some place I can find them".  I've not used git-svn under cygwin and
lack a windows computer to test, but on debian the SVN perl bindings are
in packages called libsvn-perl or libsvn-core-perl; I'd look for
similarly-named packages in cygwin's installer, or alternately packages
related to SVN.  If you're sure that the bindings are already installed,
you can fiddle with perl's module search path to detect them in an
unusual location: look at the -I flag to perl.

If that doesn't work, you can try building svn from source under cygwin,
and installing the perl bindings that way.

Hope that helps,

If your admin doesn't want to open SSH to the outside, then the
people who need it would need to VPN into your LAN first.  That's
how I do it on networks that don't allow any traffic from the
outside.

But like someone else ask, what alternative *would* your admin
prefer?  I'd rather use SSH than a yet-to-be-proven-secure
alternative app.

Especially on Windows where an opened file cannot be replaced, make
sure pack-objects always close packs it is about to replace. Even on
non Windows systems, this could save potential bad results if ever
objects were to be read from the new pack file using offset from the old
index.

This should fix t5303 on Windows.

It's up to the git-svn user to make sure that they prepare the refs to
be what git-svn expects.  This is something probably requiring more
documentation and/or git-svn features to be easier.

> Would it be the best practice?

Well, obscure stuff should never really be best practice.  The best practice
is to have a single git repository that is where the svn -> git migration
happens.  And git-svn could perhaps auto-init based on information in the
commit log or something.  Best practice is to enhance the tool to work the
way it Should(tm) :)

Restricted unix shells are a technology which has been proven secure for
decades now.  If you use git-shell, you are keeping the secure part of
SSH - the authentication and encryption - and restricting the SSH access
part to the bare minimum required for useful access to the required
services.

ie ... it all comes down to the shell you give those 'login' users as to
what they can do.
