Handle atexit list internaly for unthreaded builds

2014-10-19T22:38:30Z

Wrap atexit()s calls on unthreaded builds to handle callback list internally. This is needed because on unthreaded builds, asyncs inherits parent's atexit() list, that gets run as soon as the async exit()s (and again at the end of async's parent process). That led to remove temporary files too early. Also remove a by-atexit-callback guard against this kind of issue in clone.c, as this patch makes it redundant. Fixes test 5537 (temporary shallow file vanished before unpack-objects could open it) BTW remove an unused variable in shallow.c.

clone: --dissociate option to mark that reference is only temporary

2014-10-15T21:34:45Z

While use of the --reference option to borrow objects from an existing local repository of the same project is an effective way to reduce traffic when cloning a project over the network, it makes the resulting "borrowing" repository dependent on the "borrowed" repository. After running git clone --reference=P $URL Q the resulting repository Q will be broken if the borrowed repository P disappears. The way to allow the borrowed repository to be removed is to repack the borrowing repository (i.e. run "git repack -a -d" in Q); while power users may know it very well, it is not easily discoverable. Teach a new "--dissociate" option to "git clone" to run this repacking for the user. Helped-by: Johannes Sixt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

refs.c: change resolve_ref_unsafe reading argument to be a flags field

2014-10-15T17:47:24Z

resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref resolves successfully for writing but not for reading). Change this to be a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when we want this behaviour. While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output arguments at the end. As a nice side effect, this ensures that we can catch callers that were unaware of the new API so they can be audited. Give the wrapper functions resolve_refdup and read_ref_full the same treatment for consistency. Signed-off-by: Ronnie Sahlberg Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

lockfile.h: extract new header file for the functions in lockfile.c

2014-10-01T20:56:14Z

Move the interface declaration for the functions in lockfile.c from cache.h to a new file, lockfile.h. Add #includes where necessary (and remove some redundant includes of cache.h by files that already include builtin.h). Move the documentation of the lock_file state diagram from lockfile.c to the new header file. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
