git: add performance tracing for git's main() function to debug scripts

2014-07-14T04:25:21Z

Use trace_performance to measure and print execution time and command line arguments of the entire main() function. In constrast to the shell's 'time' utility, which measures total time of the parent process, this logs all involved git commands recursively. This is particularly useful to debug performance issues of scripted commands (i.e. which git commands were called with which parameters, and how long did they execute). Due to git's deliberate use of exit(), the implementation uses an atexit routine rather than just adding trace_performance_since() at the end of main(). Usage example: > GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=~/git-trace.log git stash list Creates a log file like this: 23:57:38.638765 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000310107 s: git command: 'git' 'rev-parse' '--git-dir' 23:57:38.644387 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000261759 s: git command: 'git' 'rev-parse' '--show-toplevel' 23:57:38.646207 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000304468 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-colorbool' 'color.interactive' 23:57:38.648491 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000241667 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-color' 'color.interactive.help' 'red bold' 23:57:38.650465 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000243063 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-color' '' 'reset' 23:57:38.654850 trace.c:405 performance: 0.025126313 s: git command: 'git' 'stash' 'list' Signed-off-by: Karsten Blees Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

verify-commit: scriptable commit signature verification

2014-06-23T22:50:31Z

Commit signatures can be verified using "git show -s --show-signature" or the "%G?" pretty format and parsing the output, which is well suited for user inspection, but not for scripting. Provide a command "verify-commit" which is analogous to "verify-tag": It returns 0 for good signatures and non-zero otherwise, has the gpg output on stderr and (optionally) the commit object on stdout, sans the signature, just like "verify-tag" does.

git: avoid magic number with skip_prefix

2014-06-20T17:45:19Z

After handling options, any leftover arguments should be commands. However, we pass through "--help" and "--version", so that we convert them into "git help" and "git version" respectively. This is a straightforward use of skip_prefix to avoid a magic number, but while we are there, it is worth adding a comment to explain this otherwise confusing behavior.

use skip_prefix to avoid magic numbers

2014-06-20T17:44:45Z

It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it with a magic number, like: if (starts_with(foo, "bar")) foo += 3; This is easy to get wrong, since you have to count the prefix string yourself, and there's no compiler check if the string changes. We can use skip_prefix to avoid the magic numbers here. Note that some of these conversions could be much shorter. For example: if (starts_with(arg, "--foo=")) { bar = arg + 6; continue; } could become: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &bar)) continue; However, I have left it as: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) { bar = v; continue; } to visually match nearby cases which need to actually process the string. Like: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) { bar = atoi(v); continue; } Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git potty: restore environments after alias expansion

2014-06-10T19:00:53Z

Commit 4ad8332 (t0001: test git init when run via an alias - 2010-11-26) noted breakages when running init via alias. The problem is for alias to be used, $GIT_DIR must be searched, but 'init' and 'clone' are not happy with that. So we start a new process like an external command, with clean environment in this case. Env variables that are set by command line (e.g. "git --git-dir=.. ") are kept. This should also fix autocorrecting a command typo to "init" because it's the same problem: aliases are read, then "init" is unhappy with $GIT_DIR already set up because of that.
