short i/o: fix calls to write to use xwrite or write_in_full

2007-01-08T23:44:47Z

We have a number of badly checked write() calls. Often we are expecting write() to write exactly the size we requested or fail, this fails to handle interrupts or short writes. Switch to using the new write_in_full(). Otherwise we at a minimum need to check for EINTR and EAGAIN, where this is appropriate use xwrite(). Note, the changes to config handling are much larger and handled in the next patch in the sequence. Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'sp/mmap'

2007-01-07T08:12:47Z

* sp/mmap: (27 commits) Spell default packedgitlimit slightly differently Increase packedGit{Limit,WindowSize} on 64 bit systems. Update packedGit config option documentation. mmap: set FD_CLOEXEC for file descriptors we keep open for mmap() pack-objects: fix use of use_pack(). Fix random segfaults in pack-objects. Cleanup read_cache_from error handling. Replace mmap with xmmap, better handling MAP_FAILED. Release pack windows before reporting out of memory. Default core.packdGitWindowSize to 1 MiB if NO_MMAP. Test suite for sliding window mmap implementation. Create pack_report() as a debugging aid. Support unmapping windows on 'temporary' packfiles. Improve error message when packfile mmap fails. Ensure core.packedGitWindowSize cannot be less than 2 pages. Load core configuration in git-verify-pack. Fully activate the sliding window pack access. Unmap individual windows rather than entire files. Document why header parsing won't exceed a window. Loop over pack_windows when inflating/accessing data. ... Conflicts: cache.h pack-check.c

diff-index --cached --raw: show tree entry on the LHS for unmerged entries.

2007-01-07T06:57:42Z

This updates the way diffcore represents an unmerged pair somewhat. It used to be that entries with mode=0 on both sides were used to represent an unmerged pair, but now it has an explicit flag. This is to allow diff-index --cached to report the entry from the tree when the path is unmerged in the index. This is used in updating "git reset -- " to restore absense of the path in the index from the tree. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Replace mmap with xmmap, better handling MAP_FAILED.

2006-12-29T19:36:45Z

In some cases we did not even bother to check the return value of mmap() and just assume it worked. This is bad, because if we are out of virtual address space the kernel returned MAP_FAILED and we would attempt to dereference that address, segfaulting without any real error output to the user. We are replacing all calls to mmap() with xmmap() and moving all MAP_FAILED checking into that single location. If a mmap call fails we try to release enough least-recently-used pack windows to possibly succeed, then retry the mmap() attempt. If we cannot mmap even after releasing pack memory then we die() as none of our callers have any reasonable recovery strategy for a failed mmap. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Merge branch 'maint'

* maint: diff --check: fix off by one error spurious .sp in manpages

diff --check: fix off by one error

When parsing the diff line starting with '@@', the line number of the '+' file is parsed. For the subsequent line parses, the line number should therefore be incremented after the parse, not before it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

simplify inclusion of system header files.

2006-12-20T17:51:35Z

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include system header files. (1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and xdelta code are exempt from the following rules; (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h, builtin.h, pkt-line.h); (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h" need not be included in individual C source files. (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem specific header files (e.g. expat.h). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

I hand munged the original patch when committing 1510fea78, and screwed up the conversion. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

make commit message a little more consistent and conforting

2006-12-16T06:29:54Z

It is nicer to let the user know when a commit succeeded all the time, not only the first time. Also the commit sha1 is much more useful than the tree sha1 in this case. This patch also introduces a -q switch to supress this message as well as the summary of created/deleted files. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Avoid accessing a slow working copy during diffcore operations.

2006-12-16T06:11:19Z

The Cygwin folks have done a fine job at creating a POSIX layer on Windows That Just Works(tm). However it comes with a penalty; accessing files in the working tree by way of stat/open/mmap can be slower for diffcore than inflating the data from a blob which is stored in a packfile. This performance problem is especially an issue in merge-recursive when dealing with nearly 7000 added files, as we are loading each file's content from the working directory to perform rename detection. I have literally seen (and sadly watched) paint dry in less time than it takes for merge-recursive to finish such a merge. On the other hand this very same merge runs very fast on Solaris. If Git is compiled with NO_FAST_WORKING_DIRECTORY set then we will avoid looking at the working directory when the blob in question is available within a packfile and the caller doesn't need the data unpacked into a temporary file. We don't use loose objects as they have the same open/mmap/close costs as the working directory file access, but have the additional CPU overhead of needing to inflate the content before use. So it is still faster to use the working tree file over the loose object. If the caller needs the file data unpacked into a temporary file its likely because they are going to call an external diff program, passing the file as a parameter. In this case reusing the working tree file will be faster as we don't need to inflate the data and write it out to a temporary file. The NO_FAST_WORKING_DIRECTORY feature is enabled by default on Cygwin, as that is the platform which currently appears to benefit the most from this option. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
