Merge branch 'jk/blame-commit-label' into maint

2015-02-25T06:09:54Z

"git blame HEAD -- missing" failed to correctly say "HEAD" when it tried to say "No such path 'missing' in HEAD". * jk/blame-commit-label: blame.c: fix garbled error message use xstrdup_or_null to replace ternary conditionals builtin/commit.c: use xstrdup_or_null instead of envdup builtin/apply.c: use xstrdup_or_null instead of null_strdup git-compat-util: add xstrdup_or_null helper

use xstrdup_or_null to replace ternary conditionals

2015-01-13T18:05:48Z

This replaces "x ? xstrdup(x) : NULL" with xstrdup_or_null(x). The change is fairly mechanical, with the exception of resolve_refdup, which can eliminate a temporary variable. There are still a few hits grepping for "?.*xstrdup", but these are of slightly different forms and cannot be converted (e.g., "x ? xstrdup(x->foo) : NULL").

Handle atexit list internaly for unthreaded builds

2014-10-19T22:38:30Z

Wrap atexit()s calls on unthreaded builds to handle callback list internally. This is needed because on unthreaded builds, asyncs inherits parent's atexit() list, that gets run as soon as the async exit()s (and again at the end of async's parent process). That led to remove temporary files too early. Also remove a by-atexit-callback guard against this kind of issue in clone.c, as this patch makes it redundant. Fixes test 5537 (temporary shallow file vanished before unpack-objects could open it) BTW remove an unused variable in shallow.c.

lockfile.h: extract new header file for the functions in lockfile.c

2014-10-01T20:56:14Z

Move the interface declaration for the functions in lockfile.c from cache.h to a new file, lockfile.h. Add #includes where necessary (and remove some redundant includes of cache.h by files that already include builtin.h). Move the documentation of the lock_file state diagram from lockfile.c to the new header file. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

lockfile: change lock_file::filename into a strbuf

2014-10-01T20:50:01Z

For now, we still make sure to allocate at least PATH_MAX characters for the strbuf because resolve_symlink() doesn't know how to expand the space for its return value. (That will be fixed in a moment.) Another alternative would be to just use a strbuf as scratch space in lock_file() but then store a pointer to the naked string in struct lock_file. But lock_file objects are often reused. By reusing the same strbuf, we can avoid having to reallocate the string most times when a lock_file object is reused.

trace: improve trace performance

2014-07-14T04:24:23Z

The trace API currently rechecks the environment variable and reopens the trace file on every API call. This has the ugly side effect that errors (e.g. file cannot be opened, or the user specified a relative path) are also reported on every call. Performance can be improved by about factor three by remembering the environment state and keeping the file open. Replace the 'const char *key' parameter in the API with a pointer to a 'struct trace_key' that bundles the environment variable name with additional, trace-internal state. Change the call sites of these APIs to use a static 'struct trace_key' instead of a string constant. In trace.c::get_trace_fd(), save and reuse the file descriptor in 'struct trace_key'. Add a 'trace_disable()' API, so that packet_trace() can cleanly disable tracing when it encounters packed data (instead of using unsetenv()).

shallow: verify shallow file after taking lock

2014-03-17T22:03:32Z

Before writing the shallow file, we stat() the existing file to make sure it has not been updated since our operation began. However, we do not do so under a lock, so there is a possible race: 1. Process A takes the lock. 2. Process B calls check_shallow_file_for_update and finds no update. 3. Process A commits the lockfile. 4. Process B takes the lock, then overwrite's process A's changes. We can fix this by doing our check while we hold the lock. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

shallow: automatically clean up shallow tempfiles

2014-02-27T20:07:13Z

We sometimes write tempfiles of the form "shallow_XXXXXX" during fetch/push operations with shallow repositories. Under normal circumstances, we clean up the result when we are done. However, we do no take steps to clean up after ourselves when we exit due to die() or signal death. This patch teaches the tempfile creation code to register handlers to clean up after ourselves. To handle this, we change the ownership semantics of the filename returned by setup_temporary_shallow. It now keeps a copy of the filename itself, and returns only a const pointer to it. We can also do away with explicit tempfile removal in the callers. They all exit not long after finishing with the file, so they can rely on the auto-cleanup, simplifying the code. Note that we keep things simple and maintain only a single filename to be cleaned. This is sufficient for the current caller, but we future-proof it with a die("BUG").
