report_path_error(): move to dir.c

The expected call sequence is for the caller to use match_pathspec() repeatedly on a set of pathspecs, accumulating the "hits" in a separate array, and then call this function to diagnose a pathspec that never matched anything, as that can indicate a typo from the command line, e.g. "git commit Maekfile". Many builtin commands use this function from builtin/ls-files.c, which is not a very healthy arrangement. ls-files might have been the first command to feel the need for such a helper, but the need is shared by everybody who uses the "match and then report" pattern. Move it to dir.c where match_pathspec() is defined. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

untracked cache: guard and disable on system changes

2015-03-12T20:45:18Z

If the user enables untracked cache, then - move worktree to an unsupported filesystem - or simply upgrade OS - or move the whole (portable) disk from one machine to another - or access a shared fs from another machine there's no guarantee that untracked cache can still function properly. Record the worktree location and OS footprint in the cache. If it changes, err on the safe side and disable the cache. The user can 'update-index --untracked-cache' again to make sure all conditions are met. This adds a new requirement that setup_git_directory* must be called before read_cache() because we need worktree location by then, or the cache is dropped. This change does not cover all bases, you can fool it if you try hard. The point is to stop accidents.

untracked cache: invalidate at index addition or removal

2015-03-12T20:45:16Z

Ideally we should implement untracked_cache_remove_from_index() and untracked_cache_add_to_index() so that they update untracked cache right away instead of invalidating it and wait for read_directory() next time to deal with it. But that may need some more work in unpack-trees.c. So stay simple as the first step. The new call in add_index_entry_with_check() may look strange because new calls usually stay close to cache_tree_invalidate_path(). We do it a bit later than c_t_i_p() in this function because if it's about replacing the entry with the same name, we don't care (but cache-tree does).

untracked cache: mark what dirs should be recursed/saved

2015-03-12T20:45:16Z

If we redo this thing in a functional style, we would have one struct untracked_dir as input tree and another as output. The input is used for verification. The output is a brand new tree, reflecting current worktree. But that means recreate a lot of dir nodes even if a lot could be shared between input and output trees in good cases. So we go with the messy but efficient way, combining both input and output trees into one. We need a way to know which node in this combined tree belongs to the output. This is the purpose of this "recurse" flag. "valid" bit can't be used for this because it's about data of the node except the subdirs. When we invalidate a directory, we want to keep cached data of the subdirs intact even though we don't really know what subdir still exists (yet). Then we check worktree to see what actual subdir remains on disk. Those will have 'recurse' bit set again. If cached data for those are still valid, we may be able to avoid computing exclude files for them. Those subdirs that are deleted will have 'recurse' remained clear and their 'valid' bits do not matter. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

untracked cache: record/validate dir mtime and reuse cached output

2015-03-12T20:45:15Z

The main readdir loop in read_directory_recursive() is replaced with a new one that checks if cached results of a directory is still valid. If a file is added or removed from the index, the containing directory is invalidated (but not its subdirs). If directory's mtime is changed, the same happens. If a .gitignore is updated, the containing directory and all subdirs are invalidated recursively. If dir_struct#flags or other conditions change, the cache is ignored. If a directory is invalidated, we opendir/readdir/closedir and run the exclude machinery on that directory listing as usual. If untracked cache is also enabled, we'll update the cache along the way. If a directory is validated, we simply pull the untracked listing out from the cache. The cache also records the list of direct subdirs that we have to recurse in. Fully excluded directories are seen as "untracked files". In the best case when no dirs are invalidated, read_directory() becomes a series of stat(dir), open(.gitignore), fstat(), read(), close() and optionally hash_sha1_file() For comparison, standard read_directory() is a sequence of opendir(), readdir(), open(.gitignore), fstat(), read(), close(), the expensive last_exclude_matching() and closedir(). We already try not to open(.gitignore) if we know it does not exist, so open/fstat/read/close sequence does not apply to every directory. The sequence could be reduced further, as noted in prep_exclude() in another patch. So in theory, the entire best-case read_directory sequence could be reduced to a series of stat() and nothing else. This is not a silver bullet approach. When you compile a C file, for example, the old .o file is removed and a new one with the same name created, effectively invalidating the containing directory's cache (but not its subdirectories). If your build process touches every directory, this cache adds extra overhead for nothing, so it's a good idea to separate generated files from tracked files.. Editors may use the same strategy for saving files. And of course you're out of luck running your repo on an unsupported filesystem and/or operating system.

untracked cache: initial untracked cache validation

Make sure the starting conditions and all global exclude files are good to go. If not, either disable untracked cache completely, or wipe out the cache and start fresh. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
