7b459a1 gitk: Fix bug introduced in commit 67a4f1a7 In fixing the "can't unset idinlist" error, I moved the setting of idinlist into the loop that splits the parents into "new" parents (i.e. those of which this is the first child) and "old" parents. Unfortunately this is incorrect in the case where we hit the break statement a few lines further down, since when we come back in, we'll see idinlist($p) set for some parents that aren't in the list. This fixes it by moving the loop that sets up newolds and oldolds further down. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> 13 August 2007, 04:52:00 UTC

314c309 [PATCH] gitk: Handle MouseWheel events on Windows Windows, unlike X-Windows, sends mousewheel events by default to the window that has keyboard focus and uses the MouseWheel event to do so. The window to be scrolled must be able to take focus, but gitk's panels are disabled so cannot take focus. For all these reasons, a different design is needed to use the mousewheel on Windows. The approach here is to bind the mousewheel events to the top level window and redirect them based upon the current mouse position.

bd441de [PATCH] gitk: Enable selected patch text on Windows On windows, mouse input follows the keyboard focus, so to allow selecting text from the patch canvas we must not shift focus back to the top level.

67a4f1a gitk: Fix bug causing the "can't unset idinlist(...)" error Under some circumstances, having duplicate parents in a commit could trigger a "can't unset idinlist" Tcl error. This fixes the cause (the logic in layoutrows could end up putting the same commit into rowidlist twice) and also puts a catch around the unset to ignore the error.

4739809 Add support for an info version of the user manual These patches use docbook2x in order to create an info version of the git user manual. No existing Makefile targets (including "all") are touched, so you need to explicitly say make info sudo make install-info to get git.info created and installed. If the info target directory does not already contain a "dir" file, no directory entry is created. This facilitates $(DESTDIR)-based installations. The same could be achieved with sudo make INSTALL_INFO=: install-info explicitly. perl is used for patching up sub-par file and directory information in the Texinfo file. It would be cleaner to place the respective info straight into user-manual.txt or the conversion configurations, but I find myself unable to find out how to do this with Asciidoc/Texinfo.

fa54870 Merge branch 'jc/clone' * jc/clone: git-clone: aggressively optimize local clone behaviour. connect: accept file:// URL scheme 11 August 2007, 06:05:04 UTC
566b5c0 Optimize the three-way merge of git-read-tree As mentioned, the three-way case *should* be as trivial as the following. It passes all the tests, and I verified that a conflicting merge in the 100,000 file horror-case merged correctly (with the conflict markers) in 0.687 seconds with this, so it works, but I'm lazy and somebody else should double-check it [jc: followed all three-way merge codepaths and verified it removes when it should]. Without this patch, the merge took 8.355 seconds, so this patch really does make a huge difference for merge performance with lots and lots of files, and we're not talking percentages, we're talking orders-of-magnitude differences! Now "unpack_trees()" is just fast enough that we don't need to avoid it (although it's probably still a good idea to eventually convert it to use the traverse_trees() infrastructure some day - just to avoid having extraneous tree traversal functions).

If you do: git bundle create v2.6-20-v2.6.22.bndl v2.6.20..v2.6.22 the bundle records that it requires v2.6.20^0 commit (correct) and gives you tag v2.6.22 (incorrect); the bug is that the object it lists in fact is the commit v2.6.22^0, not the tag. This is because the revision range operation .. is always about set of commits, but the code near where my patch touches does not validate that the sha1 value obtained from dwim_ref() against the commit object name e->item->sha1 before placing the head information in the commit. The attached patch attempts to fix this problem. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 11 August 2007, 05:19:15 UTC
7fa8254 allow git-bundle to create bottomless bundle While "git bundle" was a useful way to sneakernet incremental changes, we did not allow: $ git bundle create v2.6.20.bndl v2.6.20 to create a bundle that contains the whole history to a well-known good revision. Such a bundle can be mirrored everywhere, and people can prime their repository with it to reduce the load on the repository that serves near the tip of the development.

d699676 Optimize the two-way merge of git-read-tree too This trivially optimizes the two-way merge case of git-read-tree too, which affects switching branches. When you have tons and tons of files in your repository, but there are only small differences in the branches (maybe just a couple of files changed), the biggest cost of the branch switching was actually just the index calculations. This fixes it (timings for switching between the "testing" and "master" branches in the 100,000 file testing-repo-from-hell, where the branches only differ in one small file). Before: [torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git checkout master real 0m9.919s user 0m8.461s sys 0m0.264s After: [torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git checkout testing real 0m0.576s user 0m0.348s sys 0m0.228s so it's easily an order of magnitude different. This concludes the series. I think we could/should do the three-way merge too (to speed up merges), but I'm lazy. Somebody else can do it. The rule is very simple: you need to remove the old entry if: - you want to remove the file entirely - you replace it with a "merge conflict" entry (ie a non-stage-0 entry) and you can avoid removing it if you either - keep the old one - or resolve it to a new one. and these rules should all be valid for the three-way case too.

288f072 Optimize the common cases of git-read-tree This optimizes bind_merge() and oneway_merge() to not unnecessarily remove and re-add the old index entries when they can just get replaced by updated ones. This makes these operations much faster for large trees (where "large" is in the 50,000+ file range), because we don't unnecessarily move index entries around in the index array all the time. Using the "bummer" tree (a test-tree with 100,000 files) we get: Before: [torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git commit -m"Change one file" 50/500 real 0m9.470s user 0m8.729s sys 0m0.476s After: [torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git commit -m"Change one file" 50/500 real 0m1.173s user 0m0.720s sys 0m0.452s so for large trees this is easily very noticeable indeed.

2263147 Fix "git commit directory/" performance anomaly This trivial patch avoids re-hashing files that are already clean in the index. This mirrors what commit 0781b8a9b2fe760fc4ed519a3a26e4b9bd6ccffe did for "git add .", only for "git commit ." instead. This improves the cold-cache case immensely, since we don't need to bring in all the file contents, just the index and any files dirty in the index.

af3785d Optimize "diff --cached" performance. The read_tree() function is called only from the call chain to run "git diff --cached" (this includes the internal call made by git-runstatus to run_diff_index()). The function vacates stage without any funky "merge" magic. The caller then goes and compares stage #1 entries from the tree with stage #0 entries from the original index. When adding the cache entries this way, it used the general purpose add_cache_entry(). This function looks for an existing entry to replace or if there is none to find where to insert the new entry, resolves D/F conflict and all the other things. For the purpose of reading entries into an empty stage, none of that processing is needed. We can instead append everything and then sort the result at the end. This commit changes read_tree() to first make sure that there is no existing cache entries at specified stage, and if that is the case, it runs add_cache_entry() with ADD_CACHE_JUST_APPEND flag (new), and then sort the resulting cache using qsort(). This new flag tells add_cache_entry() to omit all the checks such as "Does this path already exist? Does adding this path remove other existing entries because it turns a directory to a file?" and instead append the given cache entry straight at the end of the active cache. The caller of course is expected to sort the resulting cache at the end before using the result. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 10 August 2007, 18:44:23 UTC
63c21c4 Revert "tweak manpage formatting" This reverts commit 524e5ffcf41a67ec113a9c3730ddc8fb8d3317f5. It is reported that this change breaks formatting with docbook 1.69. 10 August 2007, 18:32:42 UTC
933bf40 Start moving unpack-trees to "struct tree_desc" This doesn't actually change any real code, but it changes the interface to unpack_trees() to take an array of "struct tree_desc" entries, the same way the tree-walk.c functions do. The reason for this is that we would be much better off if we can do the tree-unpacking using the generic "traverse_trees()" functionality instead of having to the special "unpack" infrastructure. This really is a pretty minimal diff, just to change the calling convention. It passes all the tests, and looks sane. There were only two users of "unpack_trees()": builtin-read-tree and merge-recursive, and I tried to keep the changes minimal.

But if our branch is being created and there is no specific base to difference against in the rule our base will be '0'x40. This is (usually) not a valid tree-ish object in a Git repository, so there's nothing to difference against.

d47eed3 Teach the update-paranoid to look at file differences In some applications of the update hook a user may be allowed to modify a branch, but only if the file level difference is also an allowed change. This is the commonly requested feature of allowing users to modify only certain files. A new repository.*.allow syntax permits granting the three basic file level operations: A: file is added relative to the other tree M: file exists in both trees, but its SHA-1 or mode differs D: file is removed relative to the other tree on a per-branch and path-name basis. The user must also have a branch level allow line already granting them access to create, rewind or update (CRU) that branch before the hook will consult any file level rules. In order for a branch change to succeed _all_ files that differ relative to some base (by default the old value of this branch, but it can also be any valid tree-ish) must be allowed by file level allow rules. A push is rejected if any diff exists that is not covered by at least one allow rule. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

b767c79 Teach update-paranoid how to store ACLs organized by groups In some applications of this paranoid update hook the set of ACL rules that need to be applied to a user can be large, and the number of users that those rules must also be applied to can be more than a handful of individuals. Rather than repeating the same rules multiple times (once for each user) we now allow users to be members of groups, where the group supplies the list of ACL rules. For various reasons we don't depend on the underlying OS groups and instead perform our own group handling. Users can be made a member of one or more groups by setting the user.memberOf property within the "users/$who.acl" file: [user] memberOf = developer memberOf = administrator This will cause the hook to also parse the "groups/$groupname.acl" file for each value of user.memberOf, and merge any allow rules that match the current repository with the user's own private rules (if they had any). Since some rules are basically the same but may have a component differ based on the individual user, any user.* key may be inserted into a rule using the "${user.foo}" syntax. The allow rule does not match if the user does not define one (and exactly one) value for the key "foo". Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

cad3a20 pager: find out pager setting from configuration It was very unfortunate that we added core.pager setting to the configuration file; even when the underlying command does not care if there is no git repository is involved (think "git diff --no-index"), the user would now rightfully want the configuration setting to be honored, which means we would need to read the configuration file before we launch the pager. This is a minimum change in the sense that it restores the old behaviour of not even reading config in setup_git_directory(), but have the core.pager honored when we know it matters. Note that this does not cover "git -p --git-dir where command"; the -p option immediately trigger the pager settings before we even see --git-dir to learn where the configuration file is, so we will end up reading the configuration from the place where we would _normally_ find the git repository.

33a798c setup.c:verify_non_filename(): don't die unnecessarily while disambiguating If you have a working tree _file_ "foo", attempt to refer to a branch "foo/bar" without -- to disambiguate, like this: $ git log foo/bar tried to make sure that foo/bar cannot be naming a working tree file "foo/bar" (in which case we would say "which one do you want? A rev or a working tree file? clarify with -- please"). We run lstat("foo/bar") to check that. If it does not succeed, there is no ambiguity. That is good. But we also checked the error status for the lstat() and expected it to fail with ENOENT. In this particular case, however, it fails with ENOTDIR. That should be treated as "expected error" as well.

936492d unpack-trees.c: assume submodules are clean during check-out Sven originally raised this issue: If you have a submodule checked out and you go back (or forward) to a revision of the supermodule that contains a different revision of the submodule and then switch to another revision, it will complain that the submodule is not uptodate, because git simply didn't update the submodule in the first move. The current policy is to consider it is perfectly normal that checked-out submodule is out-of-sync wrt the supermodule index. At least until we introduce a superproject repository configuration option that says "in this repository, I do care about this submodule and at any time I move around in the superproject, recursively check out the submodule to match", it is a reasonable policy, as we currently do not recursively checkout the submodules at all. The most extreme case of this policy is that the superproject index knows about the submodule but the subdirectory does not even have to be checked out. The function verify_uptodate(), called during the two-way merge aka branch switching, is about "make sure the filesystem entity that corresponds to this cache entry is up to date, lest we lose the local modifications". As we explicitly allow submodule checkout to drift from the supermodule index entry, the check should say "Ok, for submodules, not matching is the norm" for now. Later when we have the ability to mark "I care about this submodule to be always in sync with the superproject" (thereby implementing automatic recursive checkout and perhaps diff, among other things), we should check if the submodule in question is marked as such and perform the current test.

d20602e gitweb: do not choke on recursive symlink If somebody used to advertise his repository that physically resides at /pub/lic.git/ as: git://git.example.com/pub/lic.git/ but now wants to use --base-path to allow: git://git.example.com/lic.git/ she can start git-daemon with --base-path option, like this: git-daemon --base-path=/pub --export-all During the transition, however, she would also want to allow older URL as well. One natural way to achieve that is to create a symlink: ln -s /pub /pub/pub so that a request to git://git.example.com/pub/lic.git/ is first translated by --base-path to a request to /pub/pub/lic.git/ which goes to /pub/lic.git, thanks to the symlink. So far so good. However, gitweb chokes if there is such a symlink (File::Find barfs with "/pub/pub is a recursive symbolic link"). Make the code ignore such a symlink.

3d5c418 git-clone: aggressively optimize local clone behaviour. This changes the behaviour of cloning from a repository on the local machine, by defaulting to "-l" (use hardlinks to share files under .git/objects) and making "-l" a no-op. A new option, --no-hardlinks, is also added to cause file-level copy of files under .git/objects while still avoiding the normal "pack to pipe, then receive and index pack" network transfer overhead. The old behaviour of local cloning without -l nor -s is availble by specifying the source repository with the newly introduced file:///path/to/repo.git/ syntax (i.e. "same as network" cloning). * With --no-hardlinks (i.e. have all .git/objects/ copied via cpio) would not catch the source repository corruption, and also risks corrupted recipient repository if an alpha-particle hits memory cell while indexing and resolving deltas. As long as the recipient is created uncorrupted, you have a good back-up. * same-as-network is expensive, but it would catch the breakage of the source repository. It still risks corrupted recipient repository due to hardware failure. As long as the recipient is created uncorrupted, you have a good back-up. * The new default on the same filesystem, as long as the source repository is healthy, it is very likely that the recipient would be, too. Also it is very cheap. You do not get any back-up benefit, though. None of the method is resilient against the source repository corruption, so let's discount that from the comparison. Then the difference with and without --no-hardlinks matters primarily if you value the back-up benefit or not. If you want to use the cloned repository as a back-up, then it is cheaper to do a clone with --no-hardlinks and two git-fsck (source before clone, recipient after clone) than same-as-network clone, especially as you are likely to do a git-fsck on the recipient if you are so paranoid anyway. Which leads me to believe that being able to use file:/// is probably a good idea, if only for testability, but probably of little practical value. We default to hardlinked clone for everyday use, and paranoids can use --no-hardlinks as a way to make a back-up. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 02 August 2007, 06:42:36 UTC
72a4f4b connect: accept file:// URL scheme We might make it something like: "if you use an url, we don't default to local", so the difference would be that git clone file:///directory/to/repo would work the way it does now, but git clone /directory/to/repo would default to "-l" behaviour.

0887465 git-sh-setup.sh: make GIT_EDITOR/core.editor/VISUAL/EDITOR accept commands The previous code only allowed specifying a single executable rather than a complete command like "emacsclient --alternate-editor vi" in those variables. Since VISUAL/EDITOR appear to be traditionally passed to a shell for interpretation (as corroborated with "less", "mail" and "mailx", while the really ancient "more" indeed allows only an executable name), the shell function git_editor has been amended appropriately. "eval" is employed to have quotes and similar interpreted _after_ expansion, so that specifying EDITOR='"/home/dak/My Commands/notepad.exe"' can be used for actually using commands with blanks. Instead of passing just the first argument of git_editor on, we pass all of them (so that +lineno might be employed at a later point of time, or so that multiple files may be edited when appropriate). Strictly speaking, there is a change in behavior: when git config core.editor returns a valid but empty string, the fallbacks are still searched. This is more consistent, and the old code was problematic with regard to multiple blanks. Putting in additional quotes might have worked, but quotes inside of command substitution inside of quotes is nasty enough to not reliably work the same across "Bourne shells".

e90fdc3 Clean up work-tree handling The old version of work-tree support was an unholy mess, barely readable, and not to the point. For example, why do you have to provide a worktree, when it is not used? As in "git status". Now it works. Another riddle was: if you can have work trees inside the git dir, why are some programs complaining that they need a work tree? IOW it is allowed to call $ git --git-dir=../ --work-tree=. bla when you really want to. In this case, you are both in the git directory and in the working tree. So, programs have to actually test for the right thing, namely if they are inside a working tree, and not if they are inside a git directory. Also, GIT_DIR=../.git should behave the same as if no GIT_DIR was specified, unless there is a repository in the current working directory. It does now. The logic to determine if a repository is bare, or has a work tree (tertium non datur), is this: --work-tree=bla overrides GIT_WORK_TREE, which overrides core.bare = true, which overrides core.worktree, which overrides GIT_DIR/.. when GIT_DIR ends in /.git, which overrides the directory in which .git/ was found. In related news, a long standing bug was fixed: when in .git/bla/x.git/, which is a bare repository, git formerly assumed ../.. to be the appropriate git dir. This problem was reported by Shawn Pearce to have caused much pain, where a colleague mistakenly ran "git init" in "/" a long time ago, and bare repositories just would not work.
