refs: introduce a "ref paranoia" flag

2015-03-20T19:40:49Z

Most operations that iterate over refs are happy to ignore broken cruft. However, some operations should be performed with knowledge of these broken refs, because it is better for the operation to choke on a missing object than it is to silently pretend that the ref did not exist (e.g., if we are computing the set of reachable tips in order to prune objects). These processes could just call for_each_rawref, except that ref iteration is often hidden behind other interfaces. For instance, for a destructive "repack -ad", we would have to inform "pack-objects" that we are destructive, and then it would in turn have to tell the revision code that our "--all" should include broken refs. It's much simpler to just set a global for "dangerous" operations that includes broken refs in all iterations. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

read-cache: optionally disallow NTFS .git variants

2014-12-17T19:04:45Z

The point of disallowing ".git" in the index is that we would never want to accidentally overwrite files in the repository directory. But this means we need to respect the filesystem's idea of when two paths are equal. The prior commit added a helper to make such a comparison for NTFS and FAT32; let's use it in verify_path(). We make this check optional for two reasons: 1. It restricts the set of allowable filenames, which is unnecessary for people who are not on NTFS nor FAT32. In practice this probably doesn't matter, though, as the restricted names are rather obscure and almost certainly would never come up in practice. 2. It has a minor performance penalty for every path we insert into the index. This patch ties the check to the core.protectNTFS config option. Though this is expected to be most useful on Windows, we allow it to be set everywhere, as NTFS may be mounted on other platforms. The variable does default to on for Windows, though.

setup.c: support multi-checkout repo setup

2014-12-01T19:00:15Z

The repo setup procedure is updated to detect $GIT_DIR/commondir and set $GIT_COMMON_DIR properly. The core.worktree is ignored when $GIT_COMMON_DIR is set. This is because the config file is shared in multi-checkout setup, but checkout directories _are_ different. Making core.worktree effective in all checkouts mean it's back to a single checkout.

$GIT_COMMON_DIR: a new environment variable

2014-12-01T19:00:13Z

This variable is intended to support multiple working directories attached to a repository. Such a repository may have a main working directory, created by either "git init" or "git clone" and one or more linked working directories. These working directories and the main repository share the same repository directory. In linked working directories, $GIT_COMMON_DIR must be defined to point to the real repository directory and $GIT_DIR points to an unused subdirectory inside $GIT_COMMON_DIR. File locations inside the repository are reorganized from the linked worktree view point: - worktree-specific such as HEAD, logs/HEAD, index, other top-level refs and unrecognized files are from $GIT_DIR. - the rest like objects, refs, info, hooks, packed-refs, shallow... are from $GIT_COMMON_DIR (except info/sparse-checkout, but that's a separate patch) Scripts are supposed to retrieve paths in $GIT_DIR with "git rev-parse --git-path", which will take care of "$GIT_DIR vs $GIT_COMMON_DIR" business. The redirection is done by git_path(), git_pathdup() and strbuf_git_path(). The selected list of paths goes to $GIT_COMMON_DIR, not the other way around in case a developer adds a new worktree-specific file and it's accidentally promoted to be shared across repositories (this includes unknown files added by third party commands) The list of known files that belong to $GIT_DIR are: ADD_EDIT.patch BISECT_ANCESTORS_OK BISECT_EXPECTED_REV BISECT_LOG BISECT_NAMES CHERRY_PICK_HEAD COMMIT_MSG FETCH_HEAD HEAD MERGE_HEAD MERGE_MODE MERGE_RR NOTES_EDITMSG NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE ORIG_HEAD REVERT_HEAD SQUASH_MSG TAG_EDITMSG fast_import_crash_* logs/HEAD next-index-* rebase-apply rebase-merge rsync-refs-* sequencer/* shallow_* Path mapping is NOT done for git_path_submodule(). Multi-checkouts are not supported as submodules. Helped-by: Jens Lehmann Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git_path(): be aware of file relocation in $GIT_DIR

2014-12-01T19:00:11Z

We allow the user to relocate certain paths out of $GIT_DIR via environment variables, e.g. GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY, GIT_INDEX_FILE and GIT_GRAFT_FILE. Callers are not supposed to use git_path() or git_pathdup() to get those paths. Instead they must use get_object_directory(), get_index_file() and get_graft_file() respectively. This is inconvenient and could be missed in review (for example, there's git_path("objects/info/alternates") somewhere in sha1_file.c). This patch makes git_path() and git_pathdup() understand those environment variables. So if you set GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY to /foo/bar, git_path("objects/abc") should return /foo/bar/abc. The same is done for the two remaining env variables. "git rev-parse --git-path" is the wrapper for script use. This patch kinda reverts a0279e1 (setup_git_env: use git_pathdup instead of xmalloc + sprintf - 2014-06-19) because using git_pathdup here would result in infinite recursion: setup_git_env() -> git_pathdup("objects") -> .. -> adjust_git_path() -> get_object_directory() -> oops, git_object_directory is NOT set yet -> setup_git_env() I wanted to make git_pathdup_literal() that skips adjust_git_path(). But that won't work because later on when $GIT_COMMON_DIR is introduced, git_pathdup_literal("objects") needs adjust_git_path() to replace $GIT_DIR with $GIT_COMMON_DIR.
