* [PATCH 1/8] Convert many resolve_ref() calls to read_ref*() and ref_exists()
From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy @ 2011-11-17  9:32 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git

In-Reply-To: <1321522335-24193-1-git-send-email-pclouds@gmail.com>

resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer, which is not
safe for long-term use because if another resolve_ref() call happens,
the buffer may be changed.  Many call sites though do not care about
this buffer. They simply check if the return value is NULL or not.

Convert all these call sites to new wrappers to reduce resolve_ref()
calls from 57 to 34. If we change resolve_ref() prototype later on
to avoid passing static buffer out, this helps reduce changes.

* [PATCH 0/8] nd/resolve-ref v2
From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy @ 2011-11-17  9:32 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
  Cc: Junio C Hamano, Jeff King, Michael Haggerty, Jonathan Nieder,
	Ramkumar Ramachandra, Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy

The first part of actually nd/resolve-ref v2.

The last two patches are an attempt to catch overwriting faults in
future. git_pathname() and resolve_ref_unsafe() are guarded.

(Un)fortunately I ran "make memcheck" but found no new segfaults.
Either test coverage is insufficient, or we have done a very good
job of reviewing/testing git.git

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (8):
  Convert many resolve_ref() calls to read_ref*() and ref_exists()
  Rename resolve_ref() to resolve_ref_unsafe()
  Re-add resolve_ref() that always returns an allocated buffer
  cmd_merge: convert to single exit point
  Use resolve_ref() instead of resolve_ref_unsafe()
  Convert resolve_ref_unsafe+xstrdup to resolve_ref
  Guard memory overwriting in resolve_ref_unsafe's static buffer
  Enable GIT_DEBUG_MEMCHECK on git_pathname()

* BUG. git rebase -i  successfully continues (and also skips rewording) when pre-commit hook fails (exits with non-zero code)
From: Alexey Shumkin @ 2011-11-17  8:58 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git

For a project I have a pre-commit hook that monitors
whether files in a folder (scripts of DB) changed or not
and fails if another special file (DB version) did not changed, too.

So, I did some commits and then I decided to change the order of them.
Of course, I used a lovely "git rebase -i" command. I changed the order
of the commits, then rebasing went ok. But I noticed that my pre-commit
hook output failure message (one of the commits did not meet
above-mentioned condition). It's not too bad but ugly. But when I
decided to correct a message of that specific commit I ran
"git rebase -i" again, marked that commit for rewording, rewording did
not start (because pre-commit hook failed, obviously) and rebasing went
on (commit had an unchanged message) and successfully finished. That is
not what I expected.
I guess if any of hooks fail (which usually fail the commit), rebasing
have to be interrupted (as when there are conflicts)

Here is a sample to reproduce the error
git init .
echo content > file
git add -fv file
git commit -a -m 'first commit'
echo line 2 >> file
git commit -a -m 'secont commit' # note a typo ;)
echo '#!/bin/bash
echo commit failed
exit 1' > .git/hooks/pre-commit
chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
echo fail >> file
git commit -a -m 'failed commit' # to show that pre-commit hook fails
# and outputs "commit failed"
git reset --hard
git rebase -i HEAD^
# mark commit for rewording and exit an editor

note following output after all this:
>commit fail/1)
>Successfully rebased and updated refs/heads/master

Fine, but what about the buffer overflow (not an incredibly recent
regression, but certainly a fix) addressed in patch 2 of the series?

  To: git

Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with '-' are
only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'.

One nasty regression killed, hopefully we are good to go for the third
release candidate tomorrow.

Here are the repositories that have my integration branches:

With maint, master, next, pu, todo:

 - perhaps squash? show intent-to-add entries as "A" in verbose refresh
 - refresh_index: notice typechanges in output
 - read-cache: let refresh_cache_ent pass up changed flags
 - refresh_index: mark deletions in porcelain output
 - refresh_index: rename format variables

The tip two commits need to be squashed into one.

* jc/maint-pack-object-cycle (2011-11-16) 1 commit
 - pack-object: tolerate broken packs that have duplicated objects

Make the client side more robust against bogus pack stream; the problem
was discovered by accident while repacking a clone obtained from somewhat
buggy test server.

* jc/index-pack-reject-dups (2011-11-16) 1 commit
 - receive-pack, fetch-pack: reject bogus pack that records objects twice

And this is the prevention to reject such pack stream in the first place.

* jc/maint-name-rev-all (2011-11-15) 1 commit
 - name-rev --all: do not even attempt to describe non-commit object

Fix for a corner-case bug? that was present from day one of the command.

* ml/mailmap (2011-11-16) 1 commit

* hv/submodule-merge-search (2011-10-13) 4 commits
 - submodule.c: make two functions static
 - allow multiple calls to submodule merge search for the same path
 - push: Don't push a repository with unpushed submodules
 - push: teach --recurse-submodules the on-demand option

What the topic aims to achieve may make sense, but the implementation
looked somewhat suboptimal.

* sg/complete-refs (2011-10-21) 9 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-26 at d65e2b4)
 + completion: remove broken dead code from __git_heads() and __git_tags()

* sr/transport-helper-fix-rfc (2011-07-19) 2 commits

 - t5800: document inability to push new branch with old content

See comments on sr/fix-fast-export-tips topic.

* sr/fix-fast-export-tips (2011-11-05) 3 commits
 - fast-export: output reset command for commandline revs
 - fast-export: do not refer to non-existing marks
 - t9350: point out that refs are not updated correctly

The bottom commit from the stalled sr/transport-helper-fix-rfc topic is
fixed with this. It may make sense to drop the other topic and include
that commit in this series.

The command line parser is still too lax and accepts malformed input, but
this is a step in the right direction and tightening the command line now
should be doable without a low level surgery that touches codepaths that
are unrelated to the command line processing like the previous attempt
used to do.

* jc/lookup-object-hash (2011-08-11) 6 commits
 - object hash: replace linear probing with 4-way cuckoo hashing
 - object hash: we know the table size is a power of two
 - object hash: next_size() helper for readability
 - pack-objects --count-only
 - object.c: remove duplicated code for object hashing
 - object.c: code movement for readability

I do not think there is anything fundamentally wrong with this series, but
the risk of breakage far outweighs observed performance gain in one
particular workload.

* jc/verbose-checkout (2011-10-16) 2 commits
 - checkout -v: give full status output after switching branches
 - checkout: move the local changes report to the end

This is just to leave a record that the reason why we do not do this not
because we are incapable of coding this, but because it is not a good idea
to do this. I suspect people who are new to git that might think they need
it would soon realize the don't.

Will keep in 'pu' as a showcase for a while and then will drop.

Teaches "git add" to send large-ish blob data straight to a packfile.
This is a continuation to the "large file support" topic. I think this
codepath to move data from worktree to repository needs to become aware of
streaming, just like the checkout codepath that goes the other way, which
was done in the previous "large file support" topic in the 1.7.7 cycle.

* [PATCH] receive-pack, fetch-pack: reject bogus pack that records objects twice
From: Junio C Hamano @ 2011-11-17  6:04 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Shawn O. Pearce

When receive-pack & fetch-pack are run and store the pack obtained over
the wire to a local repository, they internally run the index-pack command
with the --strict option. Make sure that we reject incoming packfile that
records objects twice to avoid spreading such a damage.

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

 * Passing --strict from fetch-pack actually is a recent invention, so
   this will be only useful to 1.7.8 and later.

* [PATCH] pack-object: tolerate broken packs that have duplicated objects
From: Junio C Hamano @ 2011-11-17  6:04 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Shawn O. Pearce

When --reuse-delta is in effect (which is the default), and an existing
pack in the repository has the same object registered twice (e.g. one copy
in a non-delta format and the other copy in a delta against some other
object), an attempt to repack the repository can result in a cyclic delta
dependency, causing write_one() function to infinitely recurse into
itself.

Detect such a case and break the loopy dependency by writing out an object
that is involved in such a loop in the non-delta format.

That's perfect. I asked for an extra set of eyeballs from somebody who is
familiar with the codepath that had a problem, and that person eyeballed
and found the change to be an appropriate fix to the problem.

Either Acked-by or Reviewed-by is fine by me.

As a tentative measure, for tonight's pushout, I am inclined to queue an
equivalent of this patch on top of both mh/ref-api-2 and mh/ref-api-3
topic and merge them to 'next' and 'pu'. I'd appreciate if you can double
check the two merges on master..pu after I push them out in a few hours.

* Suggestions for gitk
From: Michael Haggerty @ 2011-11-17  5:53 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git discussion list, Paul Mackerras

I use gitk every day and love it.  I have a few suggestions that IMO
would make it even better.  Please note that I've been collecting these
ideas for a while, and they are only small niggles about an excellent tool.

1. Add a "HEAD" button

Frequently I want to jump to the HEAD revision after having moved around
in the history for a while.  Since HEAD is not always at the top of the
revision list, I do this by typing "HEAD" into the "SHA1 ID" field.  Is
there a better way already?  If not, I think it would be very convenient
to have a small "HEAD" button near that field that causes gitk to jump
there.

2. Option to check out new branch

After I "Create new branch", I often want to check out the new branch
(the equivalent of "git checkout -b BRANCH REV").  So it would be
convenient if the dialog opened by right-clicking on a commit and select
"Create new branch" offered the option to check out the newly-created
branch.  For example, it could have a third confirmation button "Create
and check out", or it could have a tick box "Check out new branch".

3. Allow "Branches: many (N)" to be expanded

There is some limit above which the commit window doesn't list the
branches that contain the commit, but instead displays "Branches: many
(N)".  But sometimes one wants to know anyway.  For example, the field
could be a link that one could click on to open a dialog box listing all
of the branches containing the commit.

In fact, a tabular format would often be more convenient than the
current format (which is hard to skim through due to its horizontal
layout and often scrolls off the right side of the screen) even if there
are only a few branches, and the same applies to "Tags", "Precedes",
etc.  So perhaps this dialog could be made available in all cases, even
if the branches/tags/etc are expanded in the commit summary.

4. Hide "commit" part of window

When I'm trying to get an overview of the history, I am often not
interested in the commit summary.  So it would be great if there were a
hotkey to hide the "commit" part of the window and allow the "log" part
of the window to use the whole surface.  This would be like
Thunderbird's "F8" key (which I also use all the time), so if this
feature is implemented you might consider using "F8" for it.

5. Tab completion in "SHA1 ID" field

It would be wonderful if the SHA1 ID field supported some kind of tab
completion for branch names, similar to that offered by the git mode for
bash.  Currently it is painful to type a long branch name into this field.

6. Display "git log" command line

I assume that gitk is using something like "git log" to generate the
list of commits that it displays.  The "git log" command line can be
configured quite flexibly using the "F4" dialog.  So flexibly, in fact,
that I often wonder what options it is passing to "git log".  I think it
would be cool if gitk would display the "git log" command line that
corresponds to the options currently selected in the "F4" dialog.

7. Tags squeeze out commit message in the "log" window

If a commit has a tag, the tag is listed next in the first column of the
"log" window, pushing the first line of the commit message off to the
right.  If a commit has multiple tags, it can easily happen that the
tags push the commit's log message completely out of the window.  There
is no scrollbar, so there is no way to see the commit message in this
situation.

The inability to read the commit message is not such a problem, because
one can select the commit and see the commit message in the bottom part
of the window.  More frustrating is that in this situation, it is
impossible to get to the menu that is normally accessed by
right-clicking on the commit message.

So perhaps the menu could also be made available elsewhere, for example
by right-clicking on the blue dot on the "graph" part of the display,
and/or by right clicking on author and date associated with the commit.


I don't know tcl/tk; otherwise I'd try to make some of these changes by
myself...

Thanks for listening,
Michael

This is to avoid reaching free of uninitialized members.

With an invalid .mailmap (and perhaps in other cases), it can reach
free(mi->name) with garbage for example.

From: Junio C Hamano @ 2011-11-17  1:20 UTC (permalink / raw)

In-Reply-To: <20111116080716.GE13706@elie.hsd1.il.comcast.net>

Given that other functions like real_path() and mkpath() share the same
"perishable, use it immediately" property, and also git_path() is such a
short and sweet name, I am beginning to think that we probably should
leave these alone but document that *path() are "unsafe" somewhere and
just add *path_cpy() or your strbuf_addpath() function.

In any case, I do not like seeing many list regulars throwing too many
non-regression-fix patches during prerelease freeze period on the
list. Continuing development for the next cycle is encouraged and trying
to do so using workflows that you do not usually use is even more
encouraged, though. You would make more use of the release candidate Git
for such activities, and may uncover regressions before the final.

Thanks.

Sign-off?

Thanks. We might want to turn xmalloc() followed by memset(,0,) for the
allocation of the mailmap entry itself in the same function, but that is a
minor issue.

They point at commits they tag, and are essential for auto-following. They
have been there forever in ls-remote output and they are not the real
problem.

A recent topic that was merged at 9bd5000 tightened the refname checking
code without thinking and started to needlessly barf upon seeing them. I
think we have discussed about the issue on the list, but I do not think
there were fixes yet.

Thanks for reminding.

Michael, how does this look?

Subject: refs: loosen over-strict "format" check

The add_extra_ref() interface is used to add an extra-ref that is _not_
our ref for the purpose of helping auto-following of tags and reducing
object transfer from remote repository, and they are typically formatted
as a tagname followed by ^{} to make sure no valid refs match that
pattern. In other words, these entries are deliberately formatted not to
pass check-refname-format test.

A recent series however added a test unconditionally to the add_ref()
function that is called from add_extra_ref(). The check may be sensible
for other two callsites of the add_ref() interface, but definitely is
a wrong thing to do in add_extra_ref(). Disable it.

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* In general, we should make things lenient when we are reading from
  existing source, so that the code can be used to recover a repository
  with badly formatted refs left by other tools, and enforce the format
  check when we write things out. We may further need to loosen the checks
  introduced earlier by mh/check-ref-format-3 topic for similar breakages
  as they are discovered.

* [patch] color of branches in git status -sb
From: Nicolas Dudebout @ 2011-11-17  0:39 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git

The following patch fixes the fact that two colors of the status
output could not be configured in .git/config.

The color of the current branch could not be modified because of the
name WT_STATUS_ONBRANCH having been changed to WT_STATUS_LOCAL_BRANCH.

The color of the remote branch was not defined at all.

By the way, when I do 'git status' instead of git 'status -sb' the
local and remote branch do not get colored. Is this a desired
behavior?

* Git Gems
From: Hilco Wijbenga @ 2011-11-16 23:18 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git Users

Hi all,

Just today, I found out about 'git add -p'. I had never even thought
of this but, now that I know, I can't imagine life without it. :-)
Actually, it's a bit scary to note that the Git devs apparently aren't
just telepathic but they can read my thoughts even before I think
them. ;-)

All kidding aside, I'm starting to wonder which other Git Gems I don't
know about. For me, the list of Git Gems would include Git's Bash
command line prompt, 'git add -p', 'git rebase', 'git commit --amend',
and 'git-new-workdir'. I realize there are plenty of books and such
out there but I'm really just looking for a list of Git commands
and/or options that are worth looking into. Finding out more about a
particular command/script/option is easy, realizing that a particular
one is the one you need is not. Especially, if you don't even know you
have a problem.

As an example, 'git rebase' didn't really seem useful until I
understood (well, more or less) what it did. Until then, I just
naively assumed that merge commits and non-linear history were
something you simply had to live with. I'm guessing that, like me, a
lot of people come to Git with quite a few assumptions and
preconceived notions due to their exposure to other SCM tools. :-(

Cheers,

My first thought was that if we could turn back time, it would
probably be best for both git-daemon and gitweb to look for a file
named git-export-ok.  In the present world, maybe git-daemon-export-ok
is a good substitute for that.

What do you think?  Should the default in the makefile be changed?  If
so, how could we go about it to avoid disturbing existing
installations?  (For example, in a system where no repositories have
the export-ok files and "git daemon" is configured to run with
--export-all, the effect would be to make repos suddenly disappear
from the projects list in gitweb.  Unpleasant.)

Looking forward to your thoughts,
Jonathan

That site does not host any documentation directly, it merely links to 
other websites. One of those websites is 
http://schacon.github.com/git/git.html, but it has not seen any update 
since July 23, 2011.

That certainly sounds an interesting approach.
