2025-01-21doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc filesbrian m. carlson1-37/+0
We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files. While not wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc, meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting. It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files, since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering. Let's do that here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where relevant. Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new extension as well. Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the documentation. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-06-25commit-graph: new Bloom filter version that fixes murmur3Taylor Blau1-1/+4
The murmur3 implementation in bloom.c has a bug when converting series of 4 bytes into network-order integers when char is signed (which is controllable by a compiler option, and the default signedness of char is platform-specific). When a string contains characters with the high bit set, this bug causes results that, although internally consistent within Git, does not accord with other implementations of murmur3 (thus, the changed path filters wouldn't be readable by other off-the-shelf implementatios of murmur3) and even with Git binaries that were compiled with different signedness of char. This bug affects both how Git writes changed path filters to disk and how Git interprets changed path filters on disk. Therefore, introduce a new version (2) of changed path filters that corrects this problem. The existing version (1) is still supported and is still the default, but users should migrate away from it as soon as possible. Because this bug only manifests with characters that have the high bit set, it may be possible that some (or all) commits in a given repo would have the same changed path filter both before and after this fix is applied. However, in order to determine whether this is the case, the changed paths would first have to be computed, at which point it is not much more expensive to just compute a new changed path filter. So this patch does not include any mechanism to "salvage" changed path filters from repositories. There is also no "mixed" mode - for each invocation of Git, reading and writing changed path filters are done with the same version number; this version number may be explicitly stated (typically if the user knows which version they need) or automatically determined from the version of the existing changed path filters in the repository. There is a change in write_commit_graph(). graph_read_bloom_data() makes it possible for chunk_bloom_data to be non-NULL but bloom_filter_settings to be NULL, which causes a segfault later on. I produced such a segfault while developing this patch, but couldn't find a way to reproduce it neither after this complete patch (or before), but in any case it seemed like a good thing to include that might help future patch authors. The value in t0095 was obtained from another murmur3 implementation using the following Go source code: package main import "fmt" import "github.com/spaolacci/murmur3" func main() { fmt.Printf("%x\n", murmur3.Sum32([]byte("Hello world!"))) fmt.Printf("%x\n", murmur3.Sum32([]byte{0x99, 0xaa, 0xbb, 0xcc, 0xdd, 0xee, 0xff})) } Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-06-25repo-settings: introduce commitgraph.changedPathsVersionTaylor Blau1-3/+23
A subsequent commit will introduce another version of the changed-path filter in the commit graph file. In order to control which version to write (and read), a config variable is needed. Therefore, introduce this config variable. For forwards compatibility, teach Git to not read commit graphs when the config variable is set to an unsupported version. Because we teach Git this, commitgraph.readChangedPaths is now redundant, so deprecate it and define its behavior in terms of the config variable we introduce. This commit does not change the behavior of writing (Git writes changed path filters when explicitly instructed regardless of any config variable), but a subsequent commit will restrict Git such that it will only write when commitgraph.changedPathsVersion is a recognized value.

2021-02-25commit-graph: use config to specify generation typeDerrick Stolee1-0/+6
We have two established generation number versions: 1: topological levels 2: corrected commit dates The corrected commit dates are enabled by default, but they also write extra data in the GDAT and GDOV chunks. Services that host Git data might want to have more control over when this feature rolls out than just updating the Git binaries. Add a new "commitGraph.generationVersion" config option that specifies the intended generation number version. If this value is less than 2, then the GDAT chunk is never written _or read_ from an existing file. This can replace our use of the GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_NO_GDAT environment variable in the test suite. Remove it.

2020-09-09commit-graph: respect 'commitGraph.readChangedPaths'Taylor Blau1-0/+4
Git uses the 'core.commitGraph' configuration value to control whether or not the commit graph is used when parsing commits or performing a traversal. Now that commit-graphs can also contain a section for changed-path Bloom filters, administrators that already have commit-graphs may find it convenient to use those graphs without relying on their changed-path Bloom filters. This can happen, for example, during a staged roll-out, or in the event of an incident. Introduce 'commitGraph.readChangedPaths' to control whether or not Bloom filters are read. Note that this configuration is independent from both: - 'core.commitGraph', to allow flexibility in using all parts of a commit-graph _except_ for its Bloom filters. - The '--changed-paths' option for 'git commit-graph write', to allow reading and writing Bloom filters to be controlled independently. When the variable is set, pretend as if no Bloom data was specified at all. This avoids adding additional special-casing outside of the commit-graph internals.
