Let's not go that route please.  If Windows can't get away without 
runtime initializations then let's use them on all platforms.  There is 
no gain in exploding the code path combinations here wrt testing 
coverage.

Why can't you just cast the function pointer in your pthread_create 
wrapper instead?  No one cares about the returned value anyway.

What about doing this at the beginning of ll_find_deltas() instead?
And similarly for cleanup_threaded_delta_search(): call it right before 
leaving ll_find_deltas().  This way thread issues would remain more 
localized.  In fact I'd move the whole thing above in ll_find_deltas() 
as well (separately from this patch though).

Just to make sure that I read you correctly, do you mean that Linus now

I'd really rather prefer to keep '--bisect' for that, it doesn't make 
sense to export '--bisect-refs' to be the user-visible switch, and then 
have '--bisect' as some internal switch just for 'git rev-list'.

In fact, I'd argue that the ne wbehavior of 'git rev-list' is to some 
degree _better_ (ie the existing bad/good ones are implicit while doing 
bisection).

Yes, it is a behavioral change, but is it a bad one?

.. and perhaps we could introduce --bisect-refs as the "old behavior" of 
'--bisect' to git rev-list?

I kind of suspect that it is unlikely that people are using 'git rev-list 
--bisect' while _inside_ a bisection, but then wanting to bisect someting 
that is outside the set of commits we're currently actively bisecting.

But maybe I'm wrong.

Well, I could, but I just haven't set it up. :)

I commented out use-agent in the config. That worked. THANKS!

> 2 is a non-fatal error, 128 a fatal one, btw.

Well, the 2 was from running gpg alone, and 128 was from git erroring 
out.  According to the gpg docs:

"The program returns 0 if everything was fine, 1 if at least a signature 
was bad, and other error codes for fatal errors."

So, the docs consider 2 a fatal error, even though it appears it isn't.  
It seems that 
http://github.com/git/git/blob/a6dbf8814f433a7fbfa9cde6333c98019f6db1e4/builtin-tag.c#L202 
needs to be patched to something along the lines of:

rv = finish_command(&gpg)
if ((rv && rv !=2)  || !len || len < 0)

Probably digging in to the gpg source code to figure out what errors are 
and aren't fatal would be in order.

Thanks again for your help! Glad to know what I needed to do to sign my 
tags!

Not only that: they could have commited something the day before, and
pushed it the day after. In the particular case I have in mind, the
deliverable is an intermediate one, and we insist a lot on testing, so
the senario is not unlikely: commit dangerous code the day of the
deadline, and push it the day after. So, the reflog is definitely the
answer here.

But thanks anyway!

Maybe I'm wrong too, but I do not think that is plausible that people are
doing nested bisection that way.  It is probably a useful thing to do, but
if somebody has thought of doing so we would have at least seen a request
to add a way to tell "git-bisect" what names to use to record the good/bad
set of commits under to make their implementation easier.  I haven't, and
I take it an indication that it is very implausible that such scripts by
people exist to be broken by this change.

I was more worried about people who reinvented the wheel and are using
their own git-bisect.sh derivative.  It probably was forked from the
version that still used 'git rev-list --bisect", manually feeding good and
bad set of commits to it from the command line.  But then what they are
feeding would be the same as the new --bisect option implicitly gives them
anyway, so there won't be a regression either.

I can't think of any, and I just tried launching two

while true; do git pull; date > foo.txt ; git add .; git commit -m "xxx"; git push; done

in parallel, with two different users pushing to a --bare --shared
repository, and it did work well. But I may very well have missed
something.

(and actually, if it causes problem, it's an argument in favor of
defaulting to false when core.shared is true, not when core.bare).


Unless I missed something, I think core.logAllRefUpdates should be
enabled for bare repos.

Sorry, I wasn't following the discussion primarily because I am totally
uninterested in autoconf myself (it's purely a style issue and using a
single mechanism of echoing into config.mak is just as clean), so allow me
to ask a stupid question that might have been already answered while the
initial round was discussed.

I am a bit puzzled about the "warning" logic.  Is this because you expect
variables we typically give YesPlease/NoThanks as their values will not be
handled with this new PARSE_WITH_SET_MAKE_VAR() macro?

No, this is because it's perfectly acceptable, in my opinion for a
user to say:

--with-pager=no
or
--with-editor=yes

Neither of those are smart things to do, but they're not necessarily
wrong, either.  I'm open to bailing on error for these, but I thought
leaving these as unvalidated, but with a warning, was more
flexible...if say a user wanted to have a pager called 'no' or
something.

For the variables that are accepting YesPlease/NoThanks, I think it's
more suitable to use the standard autoconf header/function/library
detection as it stands now.  This macro is more for 'oddball'
variables like DEFAULT_PAGER, DEFAULT_EDITOR, etc that aren't
necessarily easily detectable.  In some cases, even if it were
detectable, the detection might not be right.

Thanks

      Fix memory leak in helper method for disconnect
      Allow programs to not depend on remotes having urls
      Use a function to determine whether a remote is valid
      Allow fetch to modify refs
      Add a config option for remotes to specify a foreign vcs
      Add support for "import" helper command
      Allow helpers to report in "list" command that the ref is unchanged

Johan Herland (1):
      Basic build infrastructure for Python scripts

Johannes Schindelin (1):
      Allow specifying the remote helper in the url

Sverre Rabbelier (4):
      Write local refs written by the "import" helper command only once
      Honour the refspec when updating refs after import
      Allow helpers to request the path to the .git directory
      Add Python support library for remote helpers

* [PATCH v2 05/13] Add a config option for remotes to specify a foreign vcs

From: Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org>

If this is set, the url is not required, and the transport always uses
a helper named "git-remote-<value>".

It is a separate configuration option in order to allow a sensible
configuration for foreign systems which either have no meaningful urls
for repositories or which require urls that do not specify the system
used by the repository at that location. However, this only affects
how the name of the helper is determined, not anything about the
interaction with the helper, and the contruction is such that, if the
foreign scm does happen to use a co-named url method, a url with that
method may be used directly.

* [PATCH v2 09/13] Honour the refspec when updating refs after import
From: Sverre Rabbelier @ 2009-11-04 19:48 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git List, Johannes Schindelin, Daniel Barkalow, Johan Herland
  Cc: Sverre Rabbelier
In-Reply-To: <1257364098-1685-1-git-send-email-srabbelier@gmail.com>

This way the helper can write to 'refs/remotes/origin/*' instead of
writing to 'refs/heads/*'.

  Daniel, does this look good to you?

  Let's assume the following:
  * list: only HEAD is a symref (to refs/heads/<branch>), all other
          refs are '? refs/heads/<branch>'.
  * import: the helper creates branches under refs/remotes/<alias>/*
            (since the refspec code is not yet in that would allow
             it to create them under refs/<vcs>/<alias>/*)

  Now when updating the refs we do the following:
  transport-helper.c:145 "read_ref(posn->name, posn->old_sha1);"

  The value of posn->name looks like "refs/heads/<branch>". So what
  does this lookup do? It tries to lookup the new value of the ref
  _where it will be created_, this fails of course, since the ref
  currently only exists as "refs/remotes/origin/<branch>". So, we
  should instead be doing a lookup using posn->peer_ref->name, and
  not do a lookup at all if it posn->peer_ref is not set (which
  should not occur as we are passed only wanted peer refs).

  Please let me know if this makes sense and both this and 0008 can
  be squashed with 0007.

* [PATCH v2 07/13] Add support for "import" helper command
From: Sverre Rabbelier @ 2009-11-04 19:48 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git List, Johannes Schindelin, Daniel Barkalow, Johan Herland
  Cc: Daniel Barkalow, Sverre Rabbelier
In-Reply-To: <1257364098-1685-1-git-send-email-srabbelier@gmail.com>

From: Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org>

This command, supported if the "import" capability is advertized,
allows a helper to support fetching by outputting a git-fast-import
stream.

If both "fetch" and "import" are advertized, git itself will use
"fetch" (although other users may use "import" in this case).

	Undid the change to the read_ref line, see patch 0009 for a
	suggested proper fix.

* [PATCH v2 12/13] Basic build infrastructure for Python scripts

In-Reply-To: <1257364098-1685-1-git-send-email-srabbelier@gmail.com>

From: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net>

This patch adds basic boilerplate support (based on corresponding Perl
sections) for enabling the building and installation Python scripts.

There are currently no Python scripts being built, and when Python
scripts are added in future patches, their building and installation
can be disabled by defining NO_PYTHON.

* [PATCH v2 13/13] Add Python support library for remote helpers
From: Sverre Rabbelier @ 2009-11-04 19:48 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git List, Johannes Schindelin, Daniel Barkalow, Johan Herland
  Cc: Sverre Rabbelier, David Aguilar, Johan Herland
In-Reply-To: <1257364098-1685-1-git-send-email-srabbelier@gmail.com>

This patch introduces parts of a Python package called
"git_remote_helpers" containing the building blocks for
python helper.
The actual remote helpers itself are NOT part of this patch.

The patch includes the necessary Makefile additions to build and install
the git_remote_cvs Python package along with the rest of Git.

This patch is based on Johan Herland's git_remote_cvs patch and
has been improved by the following contributions:
- David Aguilar: Lots of Python coding style fixes
- David Aguilar: DESTDIR support in Makefile

* [PATCH v2 11/13] Allow helpers to request the path to the .git directory
From: Sverre Rabbelier @ 2009-11-04 19:48 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git List, Johannes Schindelin, Daniel Barkalow, Johan Herland
  Cc: Sverre Rabbelier
In-Reply-To: <1257364098-1685-1-git-send-email-srabbelier@gmail.com>

The 'gitdir' capability is reported by the remote helper if it
requires the location of the .git directory. The location of the .git
directory can then be used by the helper to store status files even
when the current directory is not a git repository (such as is the
case when cloning).

The location of the .git dir is specified as an absolute path.

Signed-off-by: Sverre Rabbelier <srabbelier@gmail.com>

	Daniel, is this a good idea, or should we perhaps tell the
	helper the location of the git repository otherwise?

* [PATCH v2 08/13] Write local refs written by the "import" helper command only once
From: Sverre Rabbelier @ 2009-11-04 19:48 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git List, Johannes Schindelin, Daniel Barkalow, Johan Herland
  Cc: Sverre Rabbelier
In-Reply-To: <1257364098-1685-1-git-send-email-srabbelier@gmail.com>

At clone time the "import" helper command has already written a
packfile with all refs, so write_remote_refs will create a duplicate
entry for each ref returned by wanted_peer_refs. Prevent this
duplication by setting fetched_refs_written in the transport when
executing the "import" helper command and only adding the extra refs
if it is not set.

	I am not 100% sure this is the proper fix, but I do know that
	without this I get a .git/packed-refs file that has duplicate
	entries in it.

Your experiment justifies "could be enabled safely" and saying "should be"
based on that is a bit too strong and also premature.

The single most common reason why a bare repository is bare is because
nobody regularly logs in to the machine that hosts it and goes there to
access its contents.  As reflog is a local thing, and not exposed to
outside world, enabling it alone would not help a lot to people who do not
have such a direct access to the bare repository, which by definition is
the majority because the reason why the repository is bare to begin with.

Once we add ways to expose information kept in reflog of a bare repository
more effectively and conveniently, the argument could become "should be
enabled now it would be very useful to have one".

I mentioned a possible option to show reflog entry annotations in gitweb.
That was an example of such an addition of "a way to expose".

It also is plausible to teach git-daemon a remote "log" request; similar
to "git fetch" running "upload-pack" on the other end in the bare
repository, a "git log --remote" command may run "upload-log" on the other
end and this service may allow passing the "-g" option when it does so.
That would be another addition of "a way to expose".

* [PATCH v2 01/13] Fix memory leak in helper method for disconnect
From: Sverre Rabbelier @ 2009-11-04 19:48 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git List, Johannes Schindelin, Daniel Barkalow, Johan Herland
  Cc: Daniel Barkalow
In-Reply-To: <1257364098-1685-1-git-send-email-srabbelier@gmail.com>

From: Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org>

Since some cases may need to disconnect from the helper and reconnect,
wrap the function that just disconnects in a function that also frees
transport->data.
