maintenance: replace run_auto_gc()

2020-09-17T18:30:05Z

The run_auto_gc() method is used in several places to trigger a check for repo maintenance after some Git commands, such as 'git commit' or 'git fetch'. To allow for extra customization of this maintenance activity, replace the 'git gc --auto [--quiet]' call with one to 'git maintenance run --auto [--quiet]'. As we extend the maintenance builtin with other steps, users will be able to select different maintenance activities. Rename run_auto_gc() to run_auto_maintenance() to be clearer what is happening on this call, and to expose all callers in the current diff. Rewrite the method to use a struct child_process to simplify the calls slightly. Since 'git fetch' already allows disabling the 'git gc --auto' subprocess, add an equivalent option with a different name to be more descriptive of the new behavior: '--[no-]maintenance'. Update the documentation to include these options at the same time. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

strvec: convert remaining callers away from argv_array name

2020-07-28T22:02:18Z

We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once, or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits. Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different names is OK). This patch converts all of the remaining files, as the resulting diff is reasonably sized. The conversion was done purely mechanically with: git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' | xargs perl -i -pe ' s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g; s/argv_array/strvec/g; ' We'll deal with any indentation/style fallouts separately.

strvec: rename files from argv-array to strvec

2020-07-28T22:02:17Z

This requires updating #include lines across the code-base, but that's all fairly mechanical, and was done with: git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' | xargs perl -i -pe 's/argv-array.h/strvec.h/' Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'ta/wait-on-aliased-commands-upon-signal' into master

2020-07-15T23:29:43Z

When an aliased command, whose output is piped to a pager by git, gets killed by a signal, the pager got into a funny state, which has been corrected (again). * ta/wait-on-aliased-commands-upon-signal: Wait for child on signal death for aliases to externals Wait for child on signal death for aliases to builtins

Wait for child on signal death for aliases to builtins

2020-07-07T20:14:05Z

When you hit ^C all the processes in the tree receives it. When a git command uses a pager, git ignores this and waits until the pager quits. However, when using an alias there is an additional process in the tree which didn't ignore the signal. That caused it to exit which in turn caused the pager to exit. This fixes that for aliases to builtins. This was originally fixed in 46df6906 (execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal death, 2017-01-06), but was broken by ee4512ed (trace2: create new combined trace facility, 2019-02-22) and then b9140840 (git: avoid calling aliased builtins via their dashed form, 2019-07-29).

auto-gc: extract a reusable helper from "git fetch"

2020-05-07T19:24:33Z

Back in 1991006c (fetch: convert argv_gc_auto to struct argv_array, 2014-08-16), we taught "git fetch --quiet" to pass the "--quiet" option down to "gc --auto". This issue, however, is not limited to "fetch": $ git grep -e 'gc.*--auto' \*.c finds hits in "am", "commit", "merge", and "rebase" and these commands do not pass "--quiet" down to "gc --auto" when they themselves are told to be quiet. As a preparatory step, let's introduce a helper function run_auto_gc(), that the caller can pass a boolean "quiet", and redo the fix to "git fetch" using the helper.

run-command.h: fix mis-indented struct member

2020-02-22T17:05:34Z

An accidental conversion of a tab to 4 spaces snuck into 4c4066d95d (run-command: move doc to run-command.h, 2019-11-17), messing up the alignment when you have the project-recommended 8-width tabstops. Let's revert that line. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

run-command: move doc to run-command.h

2019-11-18T06:21:29Z

Move the documentation from Documentation/technical/api-run-command.txt to run-command.h as it's easier for the developers to find the usage information beside the code instead of looking for it in another doc file. Documentation/technical/api-run-command.txt is removed because the information it has is now redundant and it'll be hard to keep it up to date and synchronized with the documentation in the header file.

*.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using sed

2019-05-05T06:20:08Z

There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations. Finish the job by removing all instances of "extern" for function declarations in headers using sed. This was done by running the following on my system with sed 4.2.2: $ git ls-files \*.{c,h} | grep -v ^compat/ | xargs sed -i'' -e 's/^$\s*$extern $[^(]*([^*]$/\1\2/' Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much as possible. Then, leftover instances of extern were found by running $ git grep -w -C3 extern \*.{c,h} and manually checking the output. No other instances were found. Note that the regex used specifically excludes function variables which _should_ be left as extern. Not the most elegant way to do it but it gets the job done.

*.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using spatch

2019-05-05T06:20:06Z

There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations. Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern` declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch. This was the Coccinelle patch used: @@ type T; identifier f; @@ - extern T f(...); and it was run with: $ git ls-files \*.{c,h} | grep -v ^compat/ | xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much as possible.
