* Reference has invalid format: check maybe a bit to harsh?
From: Peter Oberndorfer @ 2011-10-31 19:14 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Michael Haggerty

Hi,

i am using the next branch for testing and i noticed the following:
about any git command i execute in a certain repo dies with
fatal: Reference has invalid format: 
'refs/patches/obd_development/blah:_various_improvements_remote_debugging'

This is probably caused by
dce4bab6567de7c458b334e029e3dedcab5f2648 add_ref(): verify that the refname is 
formatted correctly

The invalid refs(about 30, loose and packed) containing a ':' were created by 
stgit a long time ago(Dec 2006)

Personally i do not care too much, i patched my git to not die at this point 
but to only display a error.
-> The invalid refs are not accessible, but the rest of the repo still works.

But i'm just wondering if dieing when seeing a single invalid ref might be a 
bit too harsh since no git tools can be used anymore on this repo at all.


Small side note:
It seems t1402-check-ref-format.sh contains not test
for the invalid ref char ':' yet.
(i do not know if it is tested somewhere else...)

Thanks,
Greetings Peter

* [PATCH 3/3] MSVC: Remove unneeded header stubs

These headers are no longer needed since they are no longer

* [PATCH 1/3] Compile fix for MSVC: Do not include sys/resources.h
From: Vincent van Ravesteijn @ 2011-10-31 19:12 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: kusmabite, ramsay, msysgit, gitster, Vincent van Ravesteijn
In-Reply-To: <1320088364-25916-1-git-send-email-vfr@lyx.org>

Do not include header files when compiling with MSVC that do not
exist and which are also not included when compiling with MINGW.
A direct consequence is that git can be compiled again with MSVC
because the missing "sys/resources.h" is no longer included.

Instead of current

	#ifndef mingw32 is the only one that is strange
        ... everything for systems that is not strange ...
        #else
        ... include mingw specific tweaks ...
        #endif
        #ifdef msvc is also strange
        ... include msvc specific tweaks ...
        #endif

it turns things around and says what it wants to achieve in a more direct
way, i.e.

	#if mingw32
        #include "compat/mingw.h"
	#elif msvc
        #include "compat/msvc.h"
	#else
        ... all the others ...
	#endif

which makes it look simpler.

You have misread me this time.

I think the minimalistic "paste this line to your 'git pull' command line
and expect to get history leading to this commit" like you did in your
patch would be the solution that is the least painful and still useful,
which is an important criterion for wide adoption.

I however have a small trouble with "lieutenants use signed tags in order
to prove who they are to Linus", depending on the details.

It certainly lets you run "git tag --verify" after you pulled and will
give you assurance that you pulled the right thing from the right person,
but what do you plan to do to the tag from your lieutenants after you
fetched and verified?  I count 379 merges by you between 3.0 (2011-07-21)
and 3.1 (2011-10-24), which would mean you would see 4-5 tags per day on
average.  Will these tags be pushed out to your public history?

On one hand, we (not just you but the consumers of "Linus kernel") can
consider these tags are of ephemeral nature. Once they are used for _you_
to verify the authenticity, they are not needed anymore. The consumers of
"Linus kernel" by definition trusts what you publish, so as long as they
have a way to verify the tip commit you push out, they _should_ be happy.
If you take this stance, you would not push these tags out so that you do
not have to contaminate the tags namespace with them, and you might even
choose to discard them once you pulled and verified the lieutenants' tips
to avoid contamination of your own refs namespace.

On the other hand, the consumers of "Linus kernel" may want to say that
they trust your tree and your tags because they can verify them with your
GPG signature, but also they can independently verify the lieutenants'
trees you pulled from are genuine. Keeping signed tags and publishing them
is one way to make it possible, but 400 extra tags in 3 months feels like
an approach with too much downside (i.e. noise) for that benefit.

On Git mailing list, we have been toying with a couple of ideas. The
simplest one (cooking in next) is to allow committers to add gpg signature
in an additional header of the commit objects. "git show" and friends are
taught how to verify these signatures when asked.

This might have a potential downside on the lieutenants' workflow; after
integrating the work by their sub-lieutenants and by themselves, they
would test and review the result to convince themselves that it is worth
asking you to pull, and then they have to either

    (1) "commit --amend --gpg-signature" the tip; or

    (2) "commit --allow-empty --gpg-signature" to add an empty commit
        whose sole purpose is to hold the signature (and avoid amending
        the tip)

before pushing it out, asking you to pull.

An alternative we have discussed was to store gpg signature for the commit
("push certificate") somewhere in notes tree and push that out, certifying
that the commit indeed came from the pusher, but that would:

 (1) require upstreams to fetch (and possibly suffer from merge conflicts
     in notes tree) push certificate whenever they pull from their
     lieutenants; and

 (2) require downstreams to also fetch the notes tree for "push
     certificates" (especially when the central repository is shared among
     multiple people) before adding their own signature and then push it
     back (and possiblly suffer from "non-fast-forward" in notes tree).

both of which are downsides coming from "notes" being not a very good
match for what these signatures are trying to achieve.

Namely, the current "notes" mechanism is designed to keep track of history
of changes made to notes attached to commits, but for the signature
application, we do not care about the order that signatures came to two
separate commits. "Non-fast-forward" conflicts while pushing, or having to
fetch and merge before adding one's own signature, are unwanted burden
imposed only by choosing to use "notes" for storing and conveying the
signature.

Also the "notes" approach would end up mixing "push certificates" for
different branches (this won't be an issue in your repository where there
is only one branch) into a single "notes" tree. We would want to use
something that behaves more like the "auto-following" semantics of tag
objects. You would want to fetch only signatures that are attached to the
commits you are fetching. Use of signed tags, or commit objects that can
be signed in-place, have this property, but storing signature in notes
tree does not give it to us.

I think further discussions on this should continue on the git mailing
list.

I have been pushing my updates out to code.google.com via authentication

* git rev-parse --since=1970-01-01 does not work reliably
From: Dmitry V. Levin @ 2011-10-31 16:17 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git

Hi,

git rev-parse --since=1970-01-01 (and other git commands that take
date string arguments like --since) may fail when --since=1970-01-01 is
given.  Whether it fails or not depends on current time and timezone data.
For example, "TZ=Europe/Paris git rev-parse --since=1970-01-01" fails two
hours a day (between 00:00 and 02:00 CET), and those who use more eastern
timezones are even less lucky.  In artificial timezones like UTC-24 it
always fails:

$ TZ=UTC-24 git rev-parse --since=1970-01-01
--max-age=18446744073709523490

The problem is that several internal git functions implicitly convert
time_t to unsigned long, so when time_t gets negative, all date string
processing breaks.

This seems to break pushing with https for me.
It never uses values from my '~/.netrc'.

If you are suggesting that the patch you gave is preferable to actually 
including T in the table, then I agree. Your patch is also better than 
what I sent because it includes the unusual word "filetype", which the 
user is likely to search for after seeing it in the git-status output.

The code from the tip commit crashes on ARM for me (and presumably
would also misbehave on other platforms that care about alignment):

 $ git branch -av
 Bus error

The following might avoid that:

	static inline unsigned int H(const unsigned char *sha1, int ix)
	{
		unsigned int hash;
		memcpy(&hash, sha1 + ix * sizeof(unsigned int),
				sizeof(unsigned int));
		return hash % (obj_hash_size - 1);
	}

Even better could be to start aligning the hashes we pass around,
using something like this:

	union object_hash {
		unsigned char sha1[20];
		uint32_t chunk[5];
	};

which could speed up functions like hashcpy(), hashcmp(), and
hasheq().  But it's probably not worth the fuss.

Call chain:

	cmd_branch -> print_ref_list -> for_each_rawref ->
	  do_for_each_ref -> do_one_ref(entry=0x175508) ->
	  append_ref(sha1=0x175509) ->
	  lookup_commit_reference_gently -> parse_object ->
	  parse_object_buffer -> lookup_commit -> lookup_object

This is from testing pu (ed7c265e), in case that's relevant.  Aside
from that, the topic looks neat. :)

There's also a "git bundler service":

PRN is a special filename on Windows to send data to the printer. As
this is generated during test 2 - use an alternate prefix.

Thanks, -m seems to help, even though the large binary files are
not touched by the rebased commits (instead, they are touched by
the commits on top of which I'm rebasing).

git-dirdiff being a wrapper script, I reasoned that the underlaying
command would already have printed a sufficient error message, so what
was left was just to exit. But you're right in that some of the commands
will not give sufficient context. I'll put in some more detailed error
handling.

Even if it is not part of Posix, I reckon since it is a part of the
coreutils, it is available in most GNU userlands, inclusive GnuWin32.
I don't have any live BSD systems available, but based on the man pages
it seems to be available there too, albeit with some different options.

--tmpdir seems to be more of a problem in than respect than -d. I'll see
if I can find a set of options that are digestable to most platforms.

I think it is unfortunate to use the current directory as scratch space;
it can be a network disk, or even read-only. mktemp can in contrast make
a directory in a place which is not spilled to disk.

This design decision was probably appropriate in an earlier iteration,
but as you point out, it is indeed superfluous now! I apologize for not
realizing that myself.

Although being an able *user* of Git, I am not (yet) familiar enough
with the codebase to have a patch ready for `git diff` itself. It would
certainly require more rigorous testing.

Would it be better to have yet another configuration available for this 
option instead of reusing the existing infrastructure for `git difftool`?

Ideally, it should work the same way as `git difftool`.

As of now, files that are moved will turn up a different places in the
tree without any annotations, and off the top of my head I don't see any
obvious way to propagate such hints. If the diff tool is sophisticated
can probably use the same heuristics as Git currently does, but I am
unaware of any that is able to do that yet.

I would appreciate that! I'll submit a reworked proposal taking you

engagements, though.

git://github.com/torvalds/linux.git


they are big project, so they are huge.

thanks for your tips. it will let me have a try .

Resuming "git clone" is not currently possible in Git, and it would be
difficult to add such feature to Git; there were several attempts and
neither succeeded.

What you can do is generate a starter bundle out of your repository
(using "git bundle"), and serve this file via HTTP / FTP / BitTorrent,
i.e. some resumable transport.  Then you "git clone <bundle file>",
fix up configuration, and fetch the rest since bundle creation.

Though this is possible only if it is your project... or can ask
project administrator to provide bundle.

You might find [1] useful as a stopgap (thanks, Tomas!).

Something like Jeff's "priming the well with a server-specified
bundle" proposal[2] might be a good way to make the same trick
transparent to clients in the future.

Even with that, later fetches, which grab a pack generated on the fly
to only contain the objects not already fetched, are generally not
resumable.  Overcoming that would presumably require larger protocol
changes, and I don't know of anyone working on it.  (My workaround
when in a setup where this mattered was to use the old-fashioned
"dumb" http protocol.  It worked fine.)

Hope that helps,

The most practical form would be if Git supported such oneliner pull 
requests:

 git pull git://foo.com bar.branch                           \
  --pull-sha1 0acf00014bcfd71090c3b0d43c98e970108064e4       \
  --gpg-by: "Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>"                 \
  --gpg-sig: 8a6f134afd1d212fe21345

maintainers could just paste them into a shell and it would abort if 
it's not trusted. The maintainer verifies the visible, 'Ingo Molnar' 
bit. The 8a6f134afd1d212fe21345 is a signed-by-Ingo-Molnar version of 
this content:

    git://foo.com bar.branch 0acf00014bcfd71090c3b0d43c98e970108064e4

And Git would verify that what ends up being pulled is indeed 
0acf00014bcfd and also verifies that it was signed by me.

[ If we are extra diligent/paranoid then beyond the sha1 we might 
  even GPG sign the shortlog, or even the full raw log of all commits

  formatting version dependency though.

  Git could also double check foo.com's DNS coherency, or check it 
  against a known-trusted whitelist of domain names specified in the 
  maintainer's .gitconfig, as an extra layer. ]

Doing it in this form would remove all the mail formatting madness - 
one could paste such a pull request into a shell straight away, from 
HTML email, from text email, from MIME email, etc.

In fact i would trust such a Git based solution far more than any 
opaque, invisible tool that claims to have checked a signature with 
cooperation of my mail client (ha!).

careful about its key ID and signature parsing strategy, to protect 
against social engineering attacks.

For example neither this:

nor this:

  --pgp-by: "Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>"

malicious pull request should slip through in any fashion:

   keys from the public keyring automatically and just check 
   coherency of the pull request or such. [I'm sure people will be

The change is fine so I've applied this to the git-gui repository with a
fixed commit message. Thank you.

git-gui is hosted separately and merged into git-core at intervals so
the development version of git-gui is in fact hosted at 
git://repo.or.cz/git-gui.git although patches against the git-core
version seldom pose a problem to apply and are gratefully received.
(git am -p2 usually fixes them).

* [ANNOUNCE] Git 1.7.8.rc0
From: Junio C Hamano @ 2011-10-31  5:00 UTC (permalink / raw)

A release candidate Git 1.7.8.rc0 is available for testing.

The release tarballs are found at:

    http://code.google.com/p/git-core/downloads/list

and their SHA-1 checksums are:

4c437ecb17ba7d1b69cecd06eae9543ad35be7a6  git-1.7.8.rc0.tar.gz

856259f71c10b21620caa27dbc74c3794f0c6854  git-manpages-1.7.8.rc0.tar.gz

Also the following public repositories all have a copy of the v1.7.8.rc0
tag and the master branch that the tag points at:

  url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git
  url = https://code.google.com/p/git-core/
  url = git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git
  url = git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core
  url = https://github.com/gitster/git

There are a few topics that I would further merge down before -rc1 but
this should be pretty much it for the upcoming release, as far as "new
features" are concerned. Please test thoroughly to hunt for regressions.

Hopefully we can have something reasonable by late November before many in
the US will stop working and start stuffing themselves.


Git v1.7.8 Release Notes (draft)
================================

Updates since v1.7.7
--------------------

 * Some git-svn, git-gui, git-p4 (in contrib) and msysgit updates.

 * Updates to bash completion scripts.

 * The build procedure has been taught to take advantage of computed
   dependency automatically when the complier supports it.

 * The date parser now accepts timezone designators that lack minutes
   part and also has a colon between "hh:mm".

 * The contents of the /etc/mailname file, if exists, is used as the
   default value of the hostname part of the committer/author e-mail.

 * "git am" learned how to read from patches generated by Hg.

 * "git archive" talking with a remote repository can report errors
   from the remote side in a more informative way.

 * "git branch" learned an explicit --list option to ask for branches
   listed, optionally with a glob matching pattern to limit its output.

 * "git check-attr" learned "--cached" option to look at .gitattributes
   files from the index, not from the working tree.

 * Variants of "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" that take multiple
   commits learned to "--continue".

 * "git daemon" gives more human readble error messages to clients
   using ERR packets when appropriate.

 * Errors at the network layer is logged by "git daemon".

 * "git diff" learned "--minimal" option to spend extra cycles to come
   up with a minimal patch output.

 * "git diff" learned "--function-context" option to show the whole
   function as context that was affected by a change.

 * "git difftool" can be told to skip launching the tool for a path by
   answering 'n' to its prompt.

 * "git fetch" learned to honor transfer.fsckobjects configuration to
   validate the objects that were received from the other end, just like
   "git receive-pack" (the receiving end of "git push") does.

 * "git fetch" makes sure that the set of objects it received from the
   other end actually completes the history before updating the refs.
   "git receive-pack" (the receiving end of "git push") learned to do the
   same.

 * "git fetch" learned that fetching/cloning from a regular file on the
   filesystem is not necessarily a request to unpack a bundle file; the
   file could be ".git" with "gitdir: <path>" in it.

 * "git for-each-ref" learned "%(contents:subject)", "%(contents:body)"
   and "%(contents:signature)". The last one is useful for signed tags.

 * "git grep" used to incorrectly pay attention to .gitignore files
   scattered in the directory it was working in even when "--no-index"
   option was used. It no longer does this. The "--exclude-standard"
   option needs to be given to explicitly activate the ignore
   mechanism.

 * "git grep" learned "--untracked" option, where given patterns are
    searched in untracked (but not ignored) files as well as tracked
    files in the working tree, so that matches in new but not yet
    added files do not get missed.

 * The recursive merge backend no longer looks for meaningless
   existing merges in submodules unless in the outermost merge.

 * "git log" and friends learned "--children" option.

 * "git ls-remote" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests.

 * "git merge" learned the "--edit" option to allow users to edit the
   merge commit log message.

 * "git rebase -i" can be told to use special purpose editor suitable
   only for its insn sheet via sequence.editor configuration variable.

 * "git send-email" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests.

 * "git send-email" allows the value given to sendemail.aliasfile to begin
   with "~/" to refer to the $HOME directory.

 * "git send-email" forces use of Authen::SASL::Perl to work around
   issues between Authen::SASL::Cyrus and AUTH PLAIN/LOGIN.

 * "git stash" learned "--include-untracked" option to stash away
   untracked/ignored cruft from the working tree.

 * "git submodule clone" does not leak an error message to the UI
   level unnecessarily anymore.

 * "git submodule update" learned to honor "none" as the value for
   submodule.<name>.update to specify that the named submodule should
   not be checked out by default.

 * When populating a new submodule directory with "git submodule init",
   the $GIT_DIR metainformation directory for submodules is created inside
   $GIT_DIR/modules/<name>/ directory of the superproject and referenced
   via the gitfile mechanism. This is to make it possible to switch
   between commits in the superproject that has and does not have the
   submodule in the tree without re-cloning.

 * "mediawiki" remote helper can interact with (surprise!) MediaWiki
   with "git fetch" & "git push".

 * "gitweb" leaked unescaped control characters from syntax hiliter
   outputs.

 * "gitweb" can be told to give custom string at the end of the HTML
   HEAD element.

 * "gitweb" now has its own manual pages.


Also contains other documentation updates and minor code cleanups.


Fixes since v1.7.7
------------------

Unless otherwise noted, all fixes in the 1.7.7.X maintenance track are
included in this release.

 * We used to drop error messages from libcurl on certain kinds of
   errors.
   (merge be22d92eac8 jn/maint-http-error-message later to maint).

 * Error report from smart HTTP transport, when the connection was
   broken in the middle of a transfer, showed a useless message on
   a corrupt packet.
   (merge 6cdf022 sp/smart-http-failure later to maint).

 * HTTP transport did not use pushurl correctly, and also did not tell
   what host it is trying to authenticate with when asking for
   credentials.
   (merge deba493 jk/http-auth later to maint).

 * "git branch -m/-M" advertised to update RENAME_REF ref in the
   commit log message that introduced the feature but not anywhere in
   the documentation, and never did update such a ref anyway. This
   undocumented misfeature that did not exist has been excised.
   (merge b0eab01 jc/maint-remove-renamed-ref later to maint).

 * Adding many refs to the local repository in one go (e.g. "git fetch"
   that fetches many tags) and looking up a ref by name in a repository
   with too many refs were unnecessarily slow.
   (merge 17d68a54d jp/get-ref-dir-unsorted later to maint).

 * "git fetch --prune" was unsafe when used with refspecs from the
   command line.
   (merge e8c1e6c cn/fetch-prune later to maint).

 * Report from "git commit" on untracked files was confused under
   core.ignorecase option.
   (merge 2548183b jk/name-hash-dirent later to maint).

 * The attribute mechanism did not use case insensitive match when
   core.ignorecase was set.
   (merge 6eba621 bc/attr-ignore-case later to maint).

 * "git bisect" did not notice when it failed to update the working tree
   to the next commit to be tested.
   (merge 1acf11717 js/bisect-no-checkout later to maint).

 * "git config --bool --get-regexp" failed to separate the variable name
   and its value "true" when the variable is defined without "= true".
   (merge 880e3cc mm/maint-config-explicit-bool-display later to maint).

 * "git remote rename $a $b" were not careful to match the remote name
   against $a (i.e. source side of the remote nickname).
   (merge b52d00aed mz/remote-rename later to maint).

 * "git diff --[num]stat" used to use the number of lines of context
   different from the default, potentially giving different results from
   "git diff | diffstat" and confusing the users.
   (merge f01cae918 jc/maint-diffstat-numstat-context later to maint).

 * "git merge" did not understand ":/<pattern>" as a way to name a commit.

 * "git mergetool" learned to use its arguments as pathspec, not a path to
   the file that may not even have any conflict.
   (merge 6d9990a jm/mergetool-pathspec later to maint).

 * "git pull" and "git rebase" did not work well even when GIT_WORK_TREE is
   set correctly with GIT_DIR if the current directory is outside the working
   tree.
   (merge 035b5bf jk/pull-rebase-with-work-tree later to maint).

 " "git push" on the receiving end used to call post-receive and post-update
   hooks for attempted removal of non-existing refs.
   (merge 160b81ed ph/push-to-delete-nothing later to maint).

 * "git send-email" did not honor the configured hostname when restarting
   the HELO/EHLO exchange after switching TLS on.
   (merge 155b940 md/smtp-tls-hello-again later to maint).

 * "gitweb" used to produce a non-working link while showing the contents
   of a blob, when JavaScript actions are enabled.
   (merge 2b07ff3ff ps/gitweb-js-with-lineno later to maint).

 * The logic to filter out forked projects in the project list in
   "gitweb" was broken for some time.
   (merge 53c632f jm/maint-gitweb-filter-forks-fix later to maint).
