* [RFC PATCH v3 09/17] remote-helpers: Support custom transport options
From: Shawn O. Pearce @ 2009-10-15  3:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Daniel Barkalow
In-Reply-To: <1255577814-14745-1-git-send-email-spearce@spearce.org>

Some transports, like the native pack transport implemented by
fetch-pack, support useful features like depth or include tags.
These should be exposed if the underlying helper knows how to
use them.

* [RFC PATCH v3 10/17] Move WebDAV HTTP push under remote-curl
From: Shawn O. Pearce @ 2009-10-15  3:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Daniel Barkalow, Tay Ray Chuan, Mike Hommey
In-Reply-To: <1255577814-14745-1-git-send-email-spearce@spearce.org>

The remote helper interface now supports the push capability,
which can be used to ask the implementation to push one or more
specs to the remote repository.  For remote-curl we implement this
by calling the existing WebDAV based git-http-push executable.

Internally the helper interface uses the push_refs transport hook
so that the complexity of the refspec parsing and matching can be
reused between remote implementations.  When possible however the
helper protocol uses source ref name rather than the source SHA-1,
thereby allowing the helper to access this name if it is useful.

* [RFC PATCH v3 08/17] remote-helpers: Fetch more than one ref in a batch
From: Shawn O. Pearce @ 2009-10-15  3:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Daniel Barkalow
In-Reply-To: <1255577814-14745-1-git-send-email-spearce@spearce.org>

Some network protocols (e.g. native git://) are able to fetch more
than one ref at a time and reduce the overall transfer cost by
combining the requests into a single exchange.  Instead of feeding
each fetch request one at a time to the helper, feed all of them
at once so the helper can decide whether or not it should batch them.

* [RFC PATCH v3 11/17] Git-aware CGI to provide dumb HTTP transport
From: Shawn O. Pearce @ 2009-10-15  3:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <1255577814-14745-1-git-send-email-spearce@spearce.org>

The git-http-backend CGI can be configured into any Apache server
using ScriptAlias, such as with the following configuration:

  LoadModule cgi_module /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_cgi.so
  LoadModule alias_module /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_alias.so
  ScriptAlias /git/ /usr/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend/

Repositories are accessed via the translated PATH_INFO.

The CGI is backwards compatible with the dumb client, allowing all
older HTTP clients to continue to download repositories which are
managed by the CGI.

+git-http-backend(1)
+===================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-http-backend - Server side implementation of Git over HTTP
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git-http-backend'
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+A simple CGI program to serve the contents of a Git repository to Git
+clients accessing the repository over http:// and https:// protocols.
+
+By default, only the `upload-pack` service is enabled, which serves
+'git-fetch-pack' and 'git-ls-remote' clients, which are invoked from
+'git-fetch', 'git-pull', and 'git-clone'.
+
+This is ideally suited for read-only updates, i.e., pulling from
+git repositories.
+
+URL TRANSLATION
+---------------
+'git-http-backend' relies on the invoking web server to perform
+URL to path translation, and store the repository path into the
+PATH_TRANSLATED environment variable.  Most web servers will do
+this translation automatically, resolving the suffix after the
+CGI name relative to the server's document root.
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+Apache 2.x::
+	To serve all Git repositories contained within the '/git/'
+	subdirectory of the DocumentRoot, ensure mod_cgi and
+	mod_alias are enabled, and create a ScriptAlias to the CGI:
++
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+ScriptAlias /git/ /usr/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend/git/
+
+<Directory /usr/libexec/git-core>
+	Options None
+</Directory>
+<Files /usr/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend>
+	Options ExecCGI
+</Files>
+----------------------------------------------------------------
++
+To require authentication for reads, use a Directory
+directive around the repository, or one of its parent directories:
++
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+<Directory /var/www/git/private>
+	AuthType Basic
+	AuthName "Private Git Access"
+	Require group committers
+	...
+</Directory>
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Accelerated static Apache 2.x::
+	Similar to the above, but Apache can be used to return static
+	files that are stored on disk.	On many systems this may
+	be more efficient as Apache can ask the kernel to copy the
+	file contents from the file system directly to the network:
++
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+DocumentRoot /var/www
+
+ScriptAlias /git/        /usr/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend/git/
+Alias       /git_static/ /var/www/git/
+
+RewriteEngine on
+RewriteRule ^/git/(.*/objects/[0-9a-f]{2}/[0-9a-f]{38})$    /git_static/$1 [PT]
+RewriteRule ^/git/(.*/objects/pack/pack-[0-9a-f]{40}.pack)$ /git_static/$1 [PT]
+RewriteRule ^/git/(.*/objects/pack/pack-[0-9a-f]{40}.idx)$  /git_static/$1 [PT]
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+ENVIRONMENT
+-----------
+'git-http-backend' relies upon the CGI environment variables set
+by the invoking web server, including:
+
+* PATH_TRANSLATED
+* REMOTE_USER
+* REMOTE_ADDR
+* CONTENT_TYPE
+* QUERY_STRING
+* REQUEST_METHOD

* [RFC PATCH v3 13/17] Smart fetch and push over HTTP: server side
From: Shawn O. Pearce @ 2009-10-15  3:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <1255577814-14745-1-git-send-email-spearce@spearce.org>

Requests for $GIT_URL/git-receive-pack and $GIT_URL/git-upload-pack
are forwarded to the corresponding backend process by directly
executing it and leaving stdin and stdout connected to the invoking
web server.  Prior to starting the backend process the HTTP response
headers are sent, thereby freeing the backend from needing to know
about the HTTP protocol.

Requests that are encoded with Content-Encoding: gzip are
automatically inflated before being streamed into the backend.
This is primarily useful for the git-upload-pack backend, which
receives highly repetitive text data from clients that easily
compresses to 50% of its original size.

* [RFC PATCH v3 14/17] Discover refs via smart HTTP server when available
From: Shawn O. Pearce @ 2009-10-15  3:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Daniel Barkalow
In-Reply-To: <1255577814-14745-1-git-send-email-spearce@spearce.org>

Instead of loading the cached info/refs, try to use the smart HTTP
version when the server supports it.  Since the smart variant is
actually the pkt-line stream from the start of either upload-pack
or receive-pack we need to parse these through get_remote_heads,
which requires a background thread to feed its pipe.

* [RFC PATCH v3 12/17] Add stateless RPC options to upload-pack, receive-pack
From: Shawn O. Pearce @ 2009-10-15  3:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <1255577814-14745-1-git-send-email-spearce@spearce.org>

When --stateless-rpc is passed as a command line parameter to
upload-pack or receive-pack the programs now assume they may
perform only a single read-write cycle with stdin and stdout.
This fits with the HTTP POST request processing model where a
program may read the request, write a response, and must exit.

When --advertise-refs is passed as a command line parameter only
the initial ref advertisement is output, and the program exits
immediately.  This fits with the HTTP GET request model, where
no request content is received but a response must be produced.

HTTP headers and/or environment are not processed here, but
instead are assumed to be handled by the program invoking
either service backend.

* [RFC PATCH v3 05/17] Add multi_ack_detailed capability to fetch-pack/upload-pack
From: Shawn O. Pearce @ 2009-10-15  3:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <1255577814-14745-1-git-send-email-spearce@spearce.org>

When multi_ack_detailed is enabled the ACK continue messages returned
by the remote upload-pack are broken out to describe the different
states within the peer.  This permits the client to better understand
the server's in-memory state.

The fetch-pack/upload-pack protocol now looks like:

NAK
---------------------------------
  Always sent in response to "done" if there was no common base
  selected from the "have" lines (or no have lines were sent).

  * no multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed:

    Sent when the client has sent a pkt-line flush ("0000") and
    the server has not yet found a common base object.

  * either multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed:

    Always sent in response to a pkt-line flush.

ACK %s
-----------------------------------
  * no multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed:

    Sent in response to "have" when the object exists on the remote
    side and is therefore an object in common between the peers.
    The argument is the SHA-1 of the common object.

  * either multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed:

    Sent in response to "done" if there are common objects.
    The argument is the last SHA-1 determined to be common.

ACK %s continue
-----------------------------------
  * multi_ack only:

    Sent in response to "have".

    The remote side wants the client to consider this object as
    common, and immediately stop transmitting additional "have"
    lines for objects that are reachable from it.  The reason
    the client should stop is not given, but is one of the two
    cases below available under multi_ack_detailed.

ACK %s common
-----------------------------------
  * multi_ack_detailed only:

    Sent in response to "have".  Both sides have this object.
    Like with "ACK %s continue" above the client should stop
    sending have lines reachable for objects from the argument.

ACK %s ready
-----------------------------------
  * multi_ack_detailed only:

    Sent in response to "have".

    The client should stop transmitting objects which are reachable
    from the argument, and send "done" soon to get the objects.

    If the remote side has the specified object, it should
    first send an "ACK %s common" message prior to sending
    "ACK %s ready".

    Clients may still submit additional "have" lines if there are
    more side branches for the client to explore that might be added
    to the common set and reduce the number of objects to transfer.

* [RFC PATCH v3 06/17] remote-curl: Refactor walker initialization
From: Shawn O. Pearce @ 2009-10-15  3:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Daniel Barkalow
In-Reply-To: <1255577814-14745-1-git-send-email-spearce@spearce.org>

We will need the walker, url and remote in other functions as the
code grows larger to support smart HTTP.  Extract this out into a
set of globals we can easily reference once configured.

* [RFC PATCH v3 04/17] Move "get_ack()" back to fetch-pack
From: Shawn O. Pearce @ 2009-10-15  3:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <1255577814-14745-1-git-send-email-spearce@spearce.org>

In 41cb7488 Linus moved this function to connect.c for reuse inside
of the git-clone-pack command.  That was 2005, but in 2006 Junio
retired git-clone-pack in commit efc7fa53.  Since then the only
caller has been fetch-pack.  Since this ACK/NAK exchange is only
used by the fetch-pack/upload-pack protocol we should keep move
it back to a private detail of fetch-pack.

* [RFC PATCH v3 03/17] fetch-pack: Use a strbuf to compose the want list
From: Shawn O. Pearce @ 2009-10-15  3:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <1255577814-14745-1-git-send-email-spearce@spearce.org>

This change is being offered as a refactoring to make later
commits in the smart HTTP series easier.

By changing the enabled capabilities to be formatted in a strbuf
it is easier to add a new capability to the set of supported
capabilities.

By formatting the want portion of the request into a strbuf and
writing it as a whole block we can later decide to hold onto
the req_buf (instead of releasing it) to recycle in stateless
communications.

When there is an error parsing the 4 byte length component we now
NUL terminate the string and display it as part of the die message,
this may hint as to what data was misunderstood by the application.

* [RFC PATCH v3 00/17] Return of smart HTTP
From: Shawn O. Pearce @ 2009-10-15  3:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git

This v3 series is a respin, and includes fixes to address reviewer
comments from v2.  The protocol specification is still omitted
from the series as I have not yet had a chance to merge reviewer
comments into the draft.

Major changes from v2:

  upload-pack:
  * multi_ack_2 renamed multi_ack_detailed

  helper:
  * options are now global
  * fetch is now a batch command (instead of fetch-multiple)
  * ftp:// no longer tries info/refs?service=git-upload-pack

  http-backend:
  * manual page
  * alternates files are now served as-is
  * uses proper QUERY_STRING parsing
  * GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL set to REMOTE_USER, for receive-pack reflog
  * receive-pack defaults to *ON* if REMOTE_USER is set

This series is still lacking:

  * The HTTP protocol documentation
  * Tests for the smart http transport code (existing tests pass)

I don't want to rush reviews, but I'm fast running of time to work on
this series right now.  Next week I am offline for vacation... and
then its time for GitTogether '09.  I plan to work on tests for
this series and the HTTP spec document draft, but that's it until
after GitTogether '09.

People like Dscho have to grow a thicker skin then.  There will _always_ 
be user complaints regardless of how balanced you try to make a UI.

Sure.  That's part of it, and beginners must get over with that 
perception.  Git is a professional tool and not a toy project anymore.  
Like any professional grade tool, there is a greater effort needed from 
beginners before being comfortable with the tool.

Right.  Removing features That _are_ being used sounds a bit backward. 
Just because they happen to be confusing to beginners is not a good 
justification to remove/cripple them IMHO.

Well, New users won't be new forever.  And Git is different from most 
other SCMs.  Eventually that difference is well understood by most 
not-so-new-anymore Git users.  Right now I have to deal with Perforce at 
$work and I find it _terribly_ confusing and obnoxious to use.  So it's 
only a question of getting used to something different.

IMHO this patch proposed by Daniel about the detached head is probably a 
good compromise.  It makes "confusing" operations more verbose to give 
new users a better feeling while keeping the flexibility intact.  And 
increased verbosity is less annoying than decreased flexibility.

I am personally undecided on this issue (my "this is the best option"
was the best of "a -f switch to commit, an 'expert' config option', or a
session-based option to commit").

But we really seem to have reached an impasse with how to proceed with
git ui.

People like Dscho are fed up with user complaints about parts of git
that can be unfriendly to new users. And I can understand that.  There
_is_ a perception that git is hard for beginners to use, and I don't
think that perception is entirely without merit. We expect the user to
understand the basic concepts of git, like history graphs, named refs
versus detached heads, tracking refs, the index, etc.

At the same time, I think that is what many of us _like_ about git. It
is based around simple and powerful concepts, and it doesn't get in your
way when you want to use those concepts in a powerful and flexible
manner. And I can understand resistance to making those features hard or
inconvenient to access; detached HEADs were invented for a reason, and
we want to use them.

So what is the right way to mediate between those desires? We have tried
or suggested several options, including:

  1. Educate users. Keep exposing them to the concepts, but make
     messages more clear. Improve documentation. This is largely the
     route taken with the index. Has it worked? I think there is still a
     perception among new users that the index is confusing.

  2. Use configuration options to differentiate behavior. This comes in
     the form of the sometimes-requested "expert/beginner mode" option.
     But it can also mean a config option for a specific behavior. The
     argument against it I have seen is that it can make git
     unpredictable for new versus old users. An old-timer helping a new
     person is more out-of-touch with what the new person's setup will
     do (which hurts when sitting at their terminal or when giving them
     advice online).

  3. Make a new porcelain interface that wraps the git plumbing. We have
     seen some examples of this. Obviously cogito was the first, and it
     has fallen by the wayside as people moved towards core git. That
     may be an artifact of its timing, though, as core git was a rapidly
     moving target, and power users wanted to use the new features. More
     recently we've had 'eg'. I don't know how many people are using it,
     but it is certainly not discussed on this list much. There are also
     GUIs wrapping git. I think these are subject to the same argument
     as (2), but even more so. An entirely new interface like 'eg' is
     really splitting the user base. As a git old-timer, I can keep up
     with what newbie options might impact git's behavior. But I haven't
     a clue how to do anything in 'eg'.

  4. Hide potentially dangerous behavior behind "-f" or similar options,
     or make it even more inaccessible. We have done this with some
     obviously dangerous cases, like "push -f" or "checkout -f", which
     can throw away data. But I think in cases where the behavior is
     simply confusing and not dangerous, we tend not to do this (at
     least I couldn't think of any examples off the top of my head). The
     obvious argument against it is that it inconveniences more
     experienced users. Dscho advocated "the good of the many" versus
     "the good of the few". And I can see some logic in that. At the
     same time, open source is about scratching itches. Is anyone really
     interested in doing something that makes our own itch worse?
     Everytime you use it, won't you be thinking about scratching?

So I don't know what the solution is. And maybe this is just useless
pontificating. But I feel like we have this discussion over and over,
every few months, about a different feature. I wish there were some way
to fix that.

Out of ideas,

I'm missing something fundamental here, I think.
I simply don't see the advantage of branching after committing
over branching before committing.

At worst, a temporary is cheap, eh?  So what is the value
of even allowing committing while HEAD is detached
(aside from the historical argument)?

Whatever is done about this... I'm afraid Git will end up less useful as 
operations that were possible before won't be anymore for "security's 
sake" unless some obnoxious override mode is involved.

Isn't the reflog already dealing with the security issue by making sure 
that nothing is "lost"?

Can't the user confusion be dealt with through some means other than 
making the tool less flexible?  I don't mind extra help message to be 
displayed after a headless commit is made for example.  But trying to 
make the tool more friendly should perhaps come from better education 
rather than added restrictions.

My thoughts only.

That makes the most sense to me. If "git checkout" could write metadata
into HEAD (or into DETACH_HEAD, as in Daniel's patch), then checkout
could record an "ok to commit" bit. And could also be used to change it
after the fact. E.g.:

  $ git checkout --detach=commit origin/master
  $ git commit ;# should be ok

  $ git checkout --detach=examine origin/master
  $ git commit ;# complain
  $ git checkout --detach=commit HEAD
  $ git commit ;# ok

I guess something like "rebase" should detach with "ok to commit", since
it is planning on attaching the commits later. I'm not sure about "git
bisect". I guess probably it should be "not ok to commit" to be on the
safe side, and then somebody can "git checkout --detach=commit" if they
want to.

The intent of "-e" is to pick and choose lines of the diff to apply, or
even to munge the lines. So it is safe to:

  - remove lines with a '+' (don't stage the addition)

  - munge any lines with a '+' (stage modified contents)

  - add lines with a '+' (stage an addition)

  - convert lines with a ' ' to '-' (stage removal)

  - convert lines with a '-' to ' ' (don't stage removal)

It is a bad idea to:

  - delete '-' lines

  - delete ' ' lines

  - add ' ' or '-' line

  - munge the contents of ' ' or '-' lines

But that is just off the top of my head; perhaps others can come up with
corner cases where one of the safe things breaks.

So this is warning about changing or deleting ' ' or '-' lines, which is
good. But you can change the first characters of those lines, but only
by interchanging the two. So I think both the previous text and your
text don't cover all cases.

Maybe it makes sense instead to do a quick overview of what is OK and
what is not (like the list above).

git does have a command to ignore files and directories: it's called
'emacs' (or 'vim' on some systems).

Seriously, the .gitignore file can contain a complex set of patterns
to ignore, and you can have .gitignore files at lower directories in a
hierarchy to override higher ones. This isn't something easily
contained in a simple command.

Well, _that_ is something we could fix in "git submodule", isn't it?

Right now, the only way "git submodule" command can summarize the changes
is by showing a left-right shortlog, but it wouldn't be so inconceivable
that somebody may come up with different and equally useful way to show
them, e.g. diffstat, and at that point, we would probably want to have
"git submodule summary --stat" or "git submodule summary --shortlog" (and
the default being --shortlog).

I am _not_ married to the naming "shortlog", by the way, and shortlog is
rather a bad name for it.  Sorry for suggesting it; it is quite different
from the actual "git shortlog" command output (and no I am not suggesting
to make the output similar to shortlog), but rather is more similar to
"log --left-right --oneline".  But I think you got the point.

Hello,

why does git don't have an "ignore" command, to ignore some files or
directories all the time.
In many project file structures you have IDE specified project files
or directories which
should not be tracked on git. All the time git says that you can add
these files, this is not
usable if you want to add many files with the "git add ." command.
I read on some pages by a google search that you can create
a ".gitignore" directory or something like that. But you had to do
this manually.

why there is no "ignore" command on git?

best regards

Ralf
