remote.c: add branch_get_push

2015-05-22T16:33:08Z

In a triangular workflow, the place you pull from and the place you push to may be different. As we have branch_get_upstream for the former, this patch adds branch_get_push for the latter (and as the former implements @{upstream}, so will this implement @{push} in a future patch). Note that the memory-handling for the return value bears some explanation. Some code paths require allocating a new string, and some let us return an existing string. We should provide a consistent interface to the caller, so it knows whether to free the result or not. We could do so by xstrdup-ing any existing strings, and having the caller always free. But that makes us inconsistent with branch_get_upstream, so we would prefer to simply take ownership of the resulting string. We do so by storing it inside the "struct branch", just as we do with the upstream refname (in that case we compute it when the branch is created, but there's no reason not to just fill it in lazily in this case).

remote.c: return upstream name from stat_tracking_info

2015-05-22T16:32:34Z

After calling stat_tracking_info, callers often want to print the name of the upstream branch (in addition to the tracking count). To do this, they have to access branch->merge->dst[0] themselves. This is not wrong, as the return value from stat_tracking_info tells us whether we have an upstream branch or not. But it is a bit leaky, as we make an assumption about how it calculated the upstream name. Instead, let's add an out-parameter that lets the caller know the upstream name we found. As a bonus, we can get rid of the unusual tri-state return from the function. We no longer need to use it to differentiate between "no tracking config" and "tracking ref does not exist" (since you can check the upstream_name for that), so we can just use the usual 0/-1 convention for success/error.

remote.c: report specific errors from branch_get_upstream

2015-05-21T18:07:46Z

When the previous commit introduced the branch_get_upstream helper, there was one call-site that could not be converted: the one in sha1_name.c, which gives detailed error messages for each possible failure. Let's teach the helper to optionally report these specific errors. This lets us convert another callsite, and means we can use the helper in other locations that want to give the same error messages. The logic and error messages come straight from sha1_name.c, with the exception that we start each error with a lowercase letter, as is our usual style (note that a few tests need updated as a result).

remote.c: introduce branch_get_upstream helper

2015-05-21T18:04:42Z

All of the information needed to find the @{upstream} of a branch is included in the branch struct, but callers have to navigate a series of possible-NULL values to get there. Let's wrap that logic up in an easy-to-read helper. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

remote.c: provide per-branch pushremote name

2015-05-21T18:03:58Z

When remote.c loads its config, it records the branch.*.pushremote for the current branch along with the global remote.pushDefault value, and then binds them into a single value: the default push for the current branch. We then pass this value (which may be NULL) to remote_get_1 when looking up a remote for push. This has a few downsides: 1. It's confusing. The early-binding of the "current value" led to bugs like the one fixed by 98b406f (remote: handle pushremote config in any order, 2014-02-24). And the fact that pushremotes fall back to ordinary remotes is not explicit at all; it happens because remote_get_1 cannot tell the difference between "we are not asking for the push remote" and "there is no push remote configured". 2. It throws away intermediate data. After read_config() finishes, we have no idea what the value of remote.pushDefault was, because the string has been overwritten by the current branch's branch.*.pushremote. 3. It doesn't record other data. We don't note the branch.*.pushremote value for anything but the current branch. Let's make this more like the fetch-remote config. We'll record the pushremote for each branch, and then explicitly compute the correct remote for the current branch at the time of reading. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

remote.c: hoist branch.*.remote lookup out of remote_get_1

2015-05-21T18:03:49Z

We'll want to use this logic as a fallback when looking up the pushremote, so let's pull it out into its own function. We don't technically need to make this available outside of remote.c, but doing so will provide a consistent API with pushremote_for_branch, which we will add later.

remote.c: drop "remote" pointer from "struct branch"

2015-05-21T17:48:10Z

When we create each branch struct, we fill in the "remote_name" field from the config, and then fill in the actual "remote" field (with a "struct remote") based on that name. However, it turns out that nobody really cares about the latter field. The only two sites that access it at all are: 1. git-merge, which uses it to notice when the branch does not have a remote defined. But we can easily replace this with looking at remote_name instead. 2. remote.c itself, when setting up the @{upstream} merge config. But we don't need to save the "remote" in the "struct branch" for that; we can just look it up for the duration of the operation. So there is no need to have both fields; they are redundant with each other (the struct remote contains the name, or you can look up the struct from the name). It would be nice to simplify this, especially as we are going to add matching pushremote config in a future patch (and it would be nice to keep them consistent). So which one do we keep and which one do we get rid of? If we had a lot of callers accessing the struct, it would be more efficient to keep it (since you have to do a lookup to go from the name to the struct, but not vice versa). But we don't have a lot of callers; we have exactly one, so efficiency doesn't matter. We can decide this based on simplicity and readability. And the meaning of the struct value is somewhat unclear. Is it always the remote matching remote_name? If remote_name is NULL (i.e., no per-branch config), does the struct fall back to the "origin" remote, or is it also NULL? These questions will get even more tricky with pushremotes, whose fallback behavior is more complicated. So let's just store the name, which pretty clearly represents the branch.*.remote config. Any lookup or fallback behavior can then be implemented in helper functions. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

send-pack.c: add --atomic command line argument

2015-01-08T03:56:44Z

This adds support to send-pack to negotiate and use atomic pushes iff the server supports it. Atomic pushes are activated by a new command line flag --atomic. In order to do this we also need to change the semantics for send_pack() slightly. The existing send_pack() function actually doesn't send all the refs back to the server when multiple refs are involved, for example when using --all. Several of the failure modes for pushes can already be detected locally in the send_pack client based on the information from the initial server side list of all the refs as generated by receive-pack. Any such refs that we thus know would fail to push are thus pruned from the list of refs we send to the server to update. For atomic pushes, we have to deal thus with both failures that are detected locally as well as failures that are reported back from the server. In order to do so we treat all local failures as push failures too. We introduce a new status code REF_STATUS_ATOMIC_PUSH_FAILED so we can flag all refs that we would normally have tried to push to the server but we did not due to local failures. This is to improve the error message back to the end user to flag that "these refs failed to update since the atomic push operation failed."
