Something like this works for me on Windows. I can update the patch
after the "normalize funny urls" topic settles.

t0060: sidestep surprising path mangling results on Windows

When an MSYS program (such as the bash that drives the test suite)
invokes git on Windows, absolute Unix style paths are transformed into
Windows native absolute paths (drive letter form). However, this
transformation also includes some simplifications that are not just
straight-forward textual substitutions:

- When the path ends in "/.", then the dot is stripped, but not the
  directory separator.

- When the path contains "..", then it is optimized away if possible,
  e.g., "/c/dir/foo/../bar" becomes "c:/dir/bar".

These additional transformations violate the assumptions of some
submodule path tests. We can avoid them when the input is already a
Windows native path, because then MSYS leaves the path unmolested.

Convert the uses of $PWD to $(pwd); the latter returns a native Windows
path.

Hi Junio,

what do you think about v11? Do you feel the series is becoming mature
enough for `next`?

I've already had that feeling a few rounds ago, but I haven't had a
chance to read the most recent one carefully myself to answer that
question honestly.

* [PATCHv3] submodule--helper: normalize funny urls
From: Stefan Beller @ 2016-10-18 21:06 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: gitster, j6t, Johannes.Schindelin
  Cc: git, venv21, dennis, jrnieder, Stefan Beller

The remote URL for the submodule can be specified relative
to the URL of the superproject in .gitmodules.  A top-level
git://site.xz/toplevel.git can specify in its .gitmodules

        [submodule "sub"]
                url = ../submodule.git
                path = sub

to say that git://site.xz/submodule.git is where the
submodule bound at its "sub/" is found.

However, when the toplevel is cloned like this:

        git clone git://site.xz/toplevel.git/. top

i.e. the toplevel specifies its URL with trailing "/.", the
code set the URL to git://site.xz/toplevel.git/submodule.git
for the submodule, which is nonsense.  This was because the
logic failed to treat trailing "/." any differently from
trailing "/<anything-without-slash>" when resolving a
relative URL "../<something>" off of it.  Stripping "/." at
the end does *not* take you one level up, even though
stripping "/<anything-without-slash>" does!

Some users may rely on this by always cloning with '/.' and having
an additional '../' in the relative path for the submodule, and this
patch breaks them. So why introduce this patch?

The fix in c12922024 (submodule: ignore trailing slash on superproject
URL, 2016-10-10) and prior discussion revealed, that Git and Git
for Windows treat URLs differently, as currently Git for Windows
strips off a trailing dot from paths when calling a Git binary
unlike when running a shell. Which means Git for Windows is already
doing the right thing for the case mentioned above, but it would fail
our current tests, that test for the broken behavior and it would
confuse users working across platforms. So we'd rather fix it
in Git to ignore any of these trailing no ops in the path properly.

We never produce the URLs with a trailing '/.' in Git ourselves,
they come to us, because the user used it as the URL for cloning
a superproject. Normalize these paths.

This removes the submodule entries from .git/config
(and it would remove the contents of that submodule, but they are moved)

Removing the git link here.

So we still have the entries in the .gitmodules file there.
Maybe add:

    name=$(git submodule-helper name $1)
    git config -f .gitmodules --unset submodule.$name.*
    git add .gitmodules

? (Could be optional)

> mv "${1}_" "$1"

Moving back into place and adding all files in there.

I think you can just remove the gitlink from the index and not from the working
tree ("git rm --cached $1")

Also look at the difference between plumbing and porcelain commands[1],
as plumbing is more stable than the porcelain, so it will be easier to maintain
this script.

I think this would be an actually reasonable feature, which Git itself
could support via "git submodule [de]integrate", but then we'd also want
to see the reverse, i.e. take a sub directory and make it a submodule.

[1] e.g. https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/

Heh, I guess I shouldn't have responded before seeing what this
breaks.  Applied on top of sb/submodule-ignore-trailing-slash, these
seem to break.

    t/trash directory.t3600-rm
    t/trash directory.t7403-submodule-sync
    t/trash directory.t7406-submodule-update
    t/trash directory.t7407-submodule-foreach
    t/trash directory.t7506-status-submodule

Some may be showing broken assumptions of the downstream, two wrongs
compensating each other and correcting one exposing breakage of the
other.  I didn't look at them deeply.

Ugh. (I should have tested more than just t0060).

The underlying issue is two fold:

* in t3600 we'd need
diff --git a/t/t3600-rm.sh b/t/t3600-rm.sh
index d046d98..545d32f 100755

because the sub-submodule URL is actually the same as the submodule
(because we'd test lazily)

This looks ok from a bug fixers perspective.

However in t7403, we have a construct like:

    git clone . super

which then results in

    git -C super remote -v
...../git/t/trash directory.t7403-submodule-sync/. (fetch)

And the commit message of this patch claimed we'd never use
the /. syntax ourselves. (We could argue the stupid users in the test
suite are doing it wrong, because in practice nobody would use clone
to create a nested repository? Not sure I agree.)

However instead of fixing the levels of nesting, the fix is as easy as:

Same goes for t740{6,7} as well as t7506.

I think this change to the test suite is not warranted, because
we want to have the current behavior as-is as it seems like a nice
hack:

* Maybe we'd want to think about checking for the URL in git clone
  normalize the URL before configuring remote.origin.URL

* an often observed work flow for submodule tests seems:

    mkdir sub1 &&
    git -C sub1 init  &&
    ...

    git clone . super &&
    git -C super submodule add ../sub1
    ... # the ../sub1 looks intuitively correct

So const char** but with an additional number of slots, all we do
would be to compare this number of slots to the checks number of slots and
die("BUG:..."),  which is just a burden and no help.

Ok I will reroll with the const char** instead of the macro stuff that
I came up with,
(that would be type safe though uglier than the pure variant).

I do not think you got it. I am talking about wrapping struct around
an array of element,
not each element in the array. IOW

the structure around the array of elements (value) that allows us to have
something other than value[] in it. That is what I said "I do not see
the need for".

It is perfectly fine future-proofing to have

struct git_attr_result_value {
  const char *value;
};

and have the users of API declare

struct git_attr_result value[5];

or whatever. That way we could fatten the structure later if we wanted
to without having to update the users of API, and there is no downside.

Having wrapping strut around the array does have a huge downside,
and that is what I said I see no need for.

I am not sure if I see the upside on wrapping a single value except for
its future proofness, i.e. what if we want to transport information that
is valid for all values, e.g. an error code or that the result check was done
lazily (for non lazy you would need to do X) or ...

IOW I would expect there to be more use cases for information regarding
all the values and not each value enhanced by a thing.

We could just repeat the thing in each of the 5 values in
> struct git_attr_result value[5];
though.

I'll go with that.

I do not see anything other than future-proofing, either.  If we
need to touch all the code that uses the attributes to update the
API, I'd prefer to avoid having to do that again in the future.

This fix sounds entirely sane.  The "../." you touched was depending
on the buggy behaviour; it is exactly the case of "there were two
wrongs that were covering each other; after one of them gets fixed,
the other one's brokenness is exposed", right?

That sounds expected.  We do not have to add trailing "/.", but the
system ought to work with or without it correctly and the same way.

Isn't the issue the same as that "3600-rm" one?  I know you said
twofold upfront, but I am not sure I agree.

The "super" repository refers to its submodules with "../submodule"
in the test code we have, even though the submodule referred to
lives inside $TRASH, and by fixing the "trailing /. and trailing
/root are treated the same way" bug, its reference created in the
test ends up referring to one level above, perhaps in t/submodule,
instead of the intended place t/trash/submodule.  By using "root",
you are making their wrong references point at the right place.

Admittedly, the updated test above tests something different from
what it originally wanted to test, which feels somewhat distasteful
but I do not think it is wrong.

> I think this change to the test suite is not warranted, because
> we want to have the current behavior as-is ...

I am not sure.  Certainly we would want to make sure that the normal
case (i.e. no funny trailing junk) to work correctly, but we do want
to protect the fix from future breakage as well, no?

Perhaps we can do a preliminary step to update tests to primarily
check the cases that do not involve URL with trailing "/." by either
doing that double clone, or more preferrably, clone from "$(pwd)"
and adjust the incorrect submodule reference that have been relying
on the buggy behaviour.  With that "root" trick, the test would pass
with or without the fix under discussion, right?

Then do the fix under discussion and introduce a test that clones
from "." refers to submodules with relative path and makes sure that
trailing "/." is interpreted correctly.

I took a couple of hours trying to get the same fix applied to the t7* tests,
but that doesn't seem to be as easy. I'll try again.

Correct.

I think it is. I was just showing how to quick fix the issue, and how wide the
impact was. More like assessing the situation of what is broken with
that patch, rather than proposing a way to go for fixing.

Exactly. So not intermediate "root" that we clone from, but adapting the
relative URLs. Maybe half the broken tests can switch to 'root' and the others
go with the current behavior of cloning . to super.

I assume so, (not tested).

OK.  We call a change to teach remove_state() to free the resource

* [PATCH 0/7] Rejecting useless merge bases
From: Junio C Hamano @ 2016-10-19  4:23 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <xmqqmvi2sj8f.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com>

This is a continuation of

    http://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqmvi2sj8f.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com

In a workflow where topic branches are first merged to the 'next'
integration branch to be tested before getting merged down to the
'master' integration branch to be consumed by the end users, merging
the 'master' branch back to the 'next' happens after topics graduate
to 'master' and release notes entries are written for them.

Git finds many merge bases between 'master' and 'next' while
creating this merge.  In addition to the tip of 'master' back when
we made such a merge back from 'master' to 'next' was made the last
time, which is the most reasonable merge base to explain the
histories of both branches, all the tips of topic branches that
graduated recently are merge bases.  Because these tips of topic
branches were already in 'next', the tip of 'next' reaches them, and
because they just graduated to 'master', the tip of 'master' reaches
them, too.  And these topics are independent most of the time (that
is the point of employing the topic-branch workflow), so they cannot
be reduced.

The merge-recursive machinery is very inefficient to compute this
merge, because it needs to create pointless virtual merge-base
commits across these many merge bases.  Conceptually, the point
where the histories of 'master' and 'next' diverged was the tip of
'master' back when we created such a merge back from 'master' to
'next' the last time, and in practice that is the only merge base
that matters.

The series allows us to ignore these tips of topics, which are
uninteresting merge bases, when running "git merge".  The example
merge with 12 merge bases:

    git checkout 4868def05e && git merge 659889482a

in our history takes about 1.22-1.33 seconds without the series,
while running the latter "git merge" with the "--fp-base-only"
option takes about 0.54-0.59 seconds.

* [PATCH 1/7] commit: simplify fastpath of merge-base computation
From: Junio C Hamano @ 2016-10-19  4:23 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <20161019042345.29766-1-gitster@pobox.com>

The get_merge_bases_many*() family of functions first call
merge_bases_many() to find all possible merge bases between a single
commit "one" and a set of other commits "twos[]".  Because this
typically involves traversing the commit graph, which uses the
object flags on the commits involved, the function needs to clear
the flags before it returns.

Except for one special case.  If "one" is exactly one of the "twos",
"one" is the merge base and merge_bases_many() returns a list of
merge bases with a single element, "one", on it, without smudging
the object flags of the commits at all.

We used to use a loop over "twos[]" array to see if this fast-path
would have kicked in in merge_bases_many(), in which case we can
return without cleaning the bits at all.  We can do the same by
inspecting the result in a more direct way, which is conceptually
cleaner.

* [PATCH 2/7] sha1_name: remove ONELINE_SEEN bit
From: Junio C Hamano @ 2016-10-19  4:23 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <20161019042345.29766-1-gitster@pobox.com>

28a4d94044 ("object name: introduce ':/<oneline prefix>' notation",
2007-02-24) started using its own bit from object->flags to mark
commits used while parsing the ":/token" extended SHA-1 syntax to
name a commit temporarily, and this was kept even when f7bff00314
("sha1_name.c: fix parsing of ":/token" syntax", 2010-08-02) found
and fixed a bug in its implementation.

The use of that flag bit, however, is limited to a single function,
get_sha1_oneline(), which first sets it for the commits sitting at
the tips of refs, uses the bit to avoid duplicate traversal while
walking the history, and then cleans the bit from all commits it
walked.

Which is exactly what the general-purpose TMP_MARK bit meant to be
used for isolated case was invented for.  Replace ONELINE_SEEN with
TMP_MARK and retire the former.

* [PATCH 3/7] merge-base: stop moving commits around in remove_redundant()
From: Junio C Hamano @ 2016-10-19  4:23 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <20161019042345.29766-1-gitster@pobox.com>

The merge-base computation is performed in two steps.  First,
paint_down_to_common() traverses the history to find all possible
merge bases (and more), and then remove_redundant() checks the
result and culls the ones that can be reached from another commit
in the result.

The latter received an array of commits, and then returned the same
array after reordering the elements in it, moving the surviving ones
to the front and returning the number of surviving ones.

This arrangement works, but it makes it cumbersome for the callers
when they want to see the array's contents intact (e.g. the caller
may want to keep an additional per-commit data in an independent
array that parallels the array of commits).

Stop moving commits around in the array, and instead mark the ones
that are not merge bases with the STALE bit in their object->flags
bitword.

"git merge-base" names its internal workhorse helper function
"get_merge_bases_many_0()", which takes one "can we get away without
clearing the object->flags bits because we know we are the last
caller?" parameter.  Make the parameter into a flags word to make it
extensible and rename it to get_merge_bases_opt().  Use it to turn
get_merge_bases_many_dirty() wrapper into a C-preprocessor macro.

* [PATCH 5/7] merge-base: mark bases that are on first-parent chain
From: Junio C Hamano @ 2016-10-19  4:23 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <20161019042345.29766-1-gitster@pobox.com>

In a workflow where topic branches are first merged to the 'next'
integration branch to be tested before getting merged down to the
'master' integration branch to be consumed by the end users, merging
the 'master' branch back to the 'next' happens after topics graduate
to 'master' and release notes entries are written for them.

Git finds many merge bases between 'master' and 'next' while
creating this merge.  In addition to the tip of 'master' back when
we made such a merge back from 'master' to 'next' was made the last

because they just graduated to 'master', the tip of 'master' reaches

The merge-recursive machinery is very inefficient to compute this

where the histories of 'master' and 'next' diverged was the tip of

'next' the last time, and in practice that is the only merge base
that matters.

Update the logic in paint_down_to_common() so that it can mark if a
merge-base commit was reached by following the first-parent chain of
either side of the merge to find such commit, and give an option to
get_merge_bases_opt() to return only merge-base commits that are on
the first-parent chain, so that a later step of this series can
introduce a command line option to enable it and avoid feeding
useless merge bases to the merge machinery.

* [PATCH 6/7] merge-base: limit the output to bases that are on first-parent chain
From: Junio C Hamano @ 2016-10-19  4:23 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <20161019042345.29766-1-gitster@pobox.com>

A new option "--fp-only" limits the output to the merge bases that
are on the first-parent chain from the branches being merged.

* [PATCH 7/7] merge: allow to use only the fp-only merge bases
From: Junio C Hamano @ 2016-10-19  4:23 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <20161019042345.29766-1-gitster@pobox.com>

Teach "git merge" a new option "--fp-base-only" that tells it to
consider only merge bases that are on the first-parent chain.

This speeds up back-merges needed in the topic branch workflow.  The
merge of 'master' back into 'next' used as an example in the RFD
article <xmqqmvi2sj8f.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com>, i.e.

    git checkout 4868def05e && git merge 659889482a

in our history takes about 1.22-1.33 seconds without the series,
while running the latter "git merge" with the "--fp-base-only"
option takes about 0.54-0.59 seconds.

I see why you would want to disable the normal output when there is a
custom format. But it seems a shame that the GPG information cannot be
retrieved as part of that format.

I think in the long run we'd want something like pretty.c's "%G"
placeholders for the ref-filter pretty-printer. But I think we are OK to
do this patch without it. It allows at least:

  tag=v2.0.0
  got=$(git verify-tag --format='%(tag)' "$tag") &&
  test "$tag" = "$got" ||
  echo >&2 "verification failed"

which is better than what we have now, and can be extended in the
future.
