Remove implicit reliance on the_repository global in the APIs
around tree objects and make it explicit which repository to work
in.
* rs/tree-wo-the-repository:
cocci: remove obsolete the_repository rules
cocci: convert parse_tree functions to repo_ variants
tree: stop using the_repository
tree: use repo_parse_tree()
path-walk: use repo_parse_tree_gently()
pack-bitmap-write: use repo_parse_tree()
delta-islands: use repo_parse_tree()
bloom: use repo_parse_tree()
add-interactive: use repo_parse_tree_indirect()
tree: add repo_parse_tree*()
environment: move access to core.maxTreeDepth into repo settings
|
|
The config setting core.maxTreeDepth is stored in a global variable and
populated by the function git_default_core_config. This won't work if
we need to access multiple repositories with different values of that
setting in the same process. Store the setting in struct repo_settings
instead and track it separately for each repository.

In Git for Windows, `has_symlinks` is set to 0 by default. Therefore, we
need to parse the config setting `core.symlinks` to know if it has been
set to `true`. In `git init`, we must do that before copying the
templates because they might contain symbolic links.
Even if the support for symbolic links on Windows has not made it to
upstream Git yet, we really should make sure that all the `core.*`
settings are parsed before proceeding, as they might very well change
the behavior of `git init` in a way the user intended.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3414

"core.commentChar=auto" that attempts to dynamically pick a
suitable comment character is non-workable, as it is too much
trouble to support for little benefit, and is marked as deprecated.
* pw/3.0-commentchar-auto-deprecation:
commit: print advice when core.commentString=auto
config: warn on core.commentString=auto
breaking-changes: deprecate support for core.commentString=auto
|
|
As support for this setting was deprecated in the last commit print a
warning (or die when WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES is enabled) if it is set.
Avoid bombarding the user with warnings by only printing it (a) when
running commands that call "git commit" and (b) only once per command.
Some scaffolding is added to repo_read_config() to allow it to
detect deprecated config settings and warn about them. As both
"core.commentChar" and "core.commentString" set the comment
character we record which one of them is used and tailor the
warning message appropriately.
Note the odd combination of die_message() followed by die(NULL)
is to allow the next commit to insert a call to advise() in the middle.

When "core.commentString" is set to "auto" then "git commit" will
automatically select the comment character ensuring that it is not the
first character on any of the lines in the commit message. This was
introduced by commit 84c9dc2c5a2 (commit: allow core.commentChar=auto
for character auto selection, 2014-05-17). The motivation seems to be
to avoid commenting out lines from the existing message when amending
a commit that was created with a message from a file.
Unfortunately this feature does not work with:
* commit message templates that contain comments.
* prepare-commit-msg hooks that introduce comments.
* "git commit --cleanup=strip --edit -F <file>" which means that it
is incompatible with
- the "fixup" and "squash" commands of "git rebase -i" as the
comments added by those commands are then treated as part of
the commit message.
- the conflict comments added to the commit message by "git
cherry-pick", "git rebase" etc. as these comments are then
treated as part of the commit message.
It is also ignored by "git notes" when amending a note.
The issues with comments coming from a template, hook or file are a
consequence of the design of this feature and are therefore hard to
fix.
As the costs of this feature outweigh the benefits, deprecate it and
remove it in Git 3.0. If someone comes up with some patches that fix
all the issues in a maintainable way then I'd be happy to see this
change reverted.
The next commits will add a warning and some advice for users on how
they can update their config settings.

The global variable 'merge_log_config', set via the "merge.log" or
"merge.summary" settings, is only used in 'cmd_fmt_merge_msg()' and
'cmd_merge()' to adjust the 'shortlog_len' variable.
Remove 'merge_log_config' globally and localize it in
'cmd_fmt_merge_msg()' and 'cmd_merge()'. Set its value by passing it in
'fmt_merge_msg_config()' by passing its pointer to the function via the
callback parameter.
This change is part of an ongoing effort to eliminate global variables,
improve modularity and help libify the codebase.

environment.c:get_git_namespace() learns the raw namespace from an
environment variable, splits it at "/", and appends them after
"refs/namespaces/"; the reason why it splits first is so that an
empty string resulting from double slashes can be omitted.
The split pieces do not need to be edited in any way, so an array of
strbufs is a wrong data structure to use. Instead split into a
string list and use the pieces from there.

In "config.c" we host both the business logic to read and write config
files as well as the logic to parse specific Git-related variables. On
the one hand this is mixing concerns, but even more importantly it means
that we cannot easily remove the dependency on `the_repository` in our
config parsing logic.
Move the logic into "environment.c". This file is a grab bag of all
kinds of global state already, so it is quite a good fit. Furthermore,
it also hosts most of the global variables that we're parsing the config
values into, making this an even better fit.
Note that there is one hidden change: in `parse_fsync_components()` we
use an `int` to iterate through `ARRAY_SIZE(fsync_component_names)`. But
as -Wsign-compare warnings are enabled in this file this causes a
compiler warning. The issue is fixed by using a `size_t` instead.
This change allows us to drop the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE`
declaration.

Just as in b64d78ad02ca (max_tree_depth: lower it for MSVC to avoid
stack overflows, 2023-11-01), I encountered the same problem with the
clang builds on Windows/ARM64.
The symptom is an exit code 127 when t6700 tries to verify that `git
archive big` fails.
This exit code is reserved on Unix/Linux to mean "command not found".
Unfortunately in this case, it is the fall-back chosen by
Cygwin's `pinfo::status_exit()` method when encountering
the NSTATUS `STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW`, see
https://github.com/cygwin/cygwin/blob/cygwin-3.6.1/winsup/cygwin/pinfo.cc#L171
I verified manually that the stack overflow always happens somewhere
around tree depth 1403, therefore 1280 should be a safe bound in these
instances.

Above the declaration of git_work_tree_cfg, we have:
/* This is set by setup_git_dir_gently() and/or git_default_config() */
char *git_work_tree_cfg;
It can be verified that there is no function called
'setup_git_dir_gently' by running grep on the codebase:
$ grep -R setup_git_dir_gently .
./environment.c:/* This is set by setup_git_dir_gently() and/or git_default_config() */
The comment, introduced in e90fdc39b6 (Clean up work-tree handling), is
the only occurrence of the name 'setup_git_dir_gently'.
It probably meant 'setup_git_directory_gently' as that is a name of a
real function in setup.c. Correct it.

The "core.bigFileThreshold" setting is stored in a global variable and
populated via `git_default_core_config()`. This may cause issues in
the case where one is handling multiple different repositories in a
single process with different values for that config key, as we may or
may not see the correct value in that case. Furthermore, global state
blocks our path towards libification.
Refactor the code so that we instead store the value in `struct
repo_settings`, where the value is computed as-needed and cached.
Note that this change requires us to adapt one test in t1050 that
verifies that we die when parsing an invalid "core.bigFileThreshold"
value. The exercised Git command doesn't use the value at all, and thus
it won't hit the new code path that parses the value. This is addressed
by using git-hash-object(1) instead, which does read the value.

We include "compat/zlib.h" in "git-compat-util.h", which is
unnecessarily broad given that we only have a small handful of files
that use the zlib library. Move the header into "git-zlib.h" instead and
adapt users of zlib to include that header.
One exception is the reftable library, as we don't want to use the
Git-specific wrapper of zlib there, so we include "compat/zlib.h"
instead. Furthermore, we move the include into "reftable/system.h" so
that users of the library other than Git can wire up zlib themselves.

The variables `packed_git_window_size` and `packed_git_limit` are global
config variables used in the `packfile.c` file. Since it is only used in
this file, let's change it from being a global config variable to a
local variable for the subsystem.
With this, we rid `packfile.c` from all global variable usage and this
means we can also remove the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` guard from
the file.

The `delta_base_cache_limit` variable is a global config variable used
by multiple subsystems. Let's make this non-global, by adding this
variable independently to the subsystems where it is used.
First, add the setting to the `repo_settings` struct, this provides
access to the config in places where the repository is available. Use
this in `packfile.c`.
In `index-pack.c` we add it to the `pack_idx_option` struct and its
constructor. While the repository struct is available here, it may not
be set because `git index-pack` can be used without a repository.
In `gc.c` add it to the `gc_config` struct and also the constructor
function. The gc functions currently do not have direct access to a
repository struct.
These changes are made to remove the usage of `delta_base_cache_limit`
as a global variable in `packfile.c`. This brings us one step closer to
removing the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` definition in `packfile.c`
which we complete in the next patch.

Same as the preceding commits, storing the "core.warnAmbiguousRefs"
value globally is misdesigned as this setting may be set per repository.
Move the logic into the repo-settings subsystem. The usual pattern here
is that users are expected to call `prepare_repo_settings()` before they
access the settings themselves. This seems somewhat fragile though, as
it is easy to miss and leads to somewhat ugly code patterns at the call
sites.
Instead, introduce a new function that encapsulates this logic for us.
This also allows us to change how exactly the lazy initialization works
in the future, e.g. by only partially initializing values as requested

The value of "core.logAllRefUpdates" is being stored in the global
variable `log_all_ref_updates`. This design is somewhat aged nowadays,
where it is entirely possible to access multiple repositories in the
same process which all have different values for this setting. So using
a single global variable to track it is plain wrong.
Remove the global variable. Instead, we now provide a new function part
of the repo-settings subsystem that parses the value for a specific
repository. While that may require us to read the value multiple times,
we work around this by reading it once when the ref backends are set up
and caching the value there.

When the comment line character has been specified multiple times in the

because it unconditionally copies the string into `comment_line_str`
without free'ing the previous value. In fact, it can't easily free the
value in the first place because it may contain a string constant.
Refactor the code such that we track allocated comment character strings
via a separate non-constant variable `comment_line_str_to_free`. Adapt
sites that set `comment_line_str` to set both and free the old value
that was stored in `comment_line_str_to_free`.
This memory leak is being hit in t3404. As there are still other memory
leaks in that file we cannot yet mark it as passing with leak checking

Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we
slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead,
callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters.
It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this
variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there
is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during
code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the
patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces
that implicitly rely on `the_repository`.
Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code
units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is
to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable
anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes,
be it explicit or implicit
For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as
`the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an
implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at
the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add
guards as required (or even better, just remove them).
Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our
code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins
rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to
their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the
required changes at least a little bit more contained.

We'd like to eventually support multi-byte comment prefixes, but the
comment_line_char variable is referenced in many spots, making the
transition difficult.
Let's start by storing the character in a NUL-terminated string. That
will let us switch code over incrementally to the string format, and we
can easily support the existing code with a macro wrapper (since we'll
continue to allow only a single-byte prefix, this will behave
identically).
Once all references to the "char" variable have been converted, we can
drop it and enable longer strings.
We'll still have to touch all of the spots that create or set the
variable in this patch, but there are only a few (reading the config,
and the "auto" character selector).

"git --no-lazy-fetch cmd" allows to run "cmd" while disabling lazy
fetching of objects from the promisor remote, which may be handy
for debugging.
* jc/no-lazy-fetch:
git: extend --no-lazy-fetch to work across subprocesses
git: document GIT_NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS environment variable
git: --no-lazy-fetch option
|
|
Modeling after how the `--no-replace-objects` option is made usable
across subprocess spawning (e.g., cURL based remote helpers are
spawned as a separate process while running "git fetch"), allow the
`--no-lazy-fetch` option to be passed across process boundaries.
Do not model how the value of GIT_NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS environment
variable is ignored, though. Just use the usual git_env_bool() to
allow "export GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH=0" and "unset GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH"
to be equivalents.
Also do not model how the request is not propagated to subprocesses
we spawn (e.g. "git clone --local" that spawns a new process to work
in the origin repository, while the original one working in the
newly created one) by the "--no-replace-objects" option, as this "do
not lazily fetch from the promisor" is more about a per-request
debugging aid, not "this repository's promisor should not be relied
upon" property specific to a repository.

Since this code path was recently converted to check for a NULL value,
it now behaves exactly like git_config_string(). We can shorten the code
a bit by using that helper.
Note that git_config_string() takes a const pointer, but our storage
variable is non-const. We're better off making this "const", though,
since the default value points to a string literal (and thus it would be
an error if anybody tried to write to it).

There seems to be some internal stack overflow detection in MSVC's
`malloc()` machinery that seems to be independent of the `stack reserve`
and `heap reserve` sizes specified in the executable (editable via
`EDITBIN /STACK:<n> <exe>` and `EDITBIN /HEAP:<n> <exe>`).
In the newly test cases added by `jk/tree-name-and-depth-limit`, this
stack overflow detection is unfortunately triggered before Git can print
out the error message about too-deep trees and exit gracefully. Instead,
it exits with `STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW`. This corresponds to the numeric
value -1073741571, something the MSYS2 runtime we sadly need to use to
run Git's test suite cannot handle and which it internally maps to the
exit code 127. Git's test suite, in turn, mistakes this to mean that the
command was not found, and fails both test cases.
Here is an example stack trace from an example run:

I verified manually that `traverse_trees_cur_depth` was 562 when that
happened, which is far below the 2048 that were already accepted into
Git as a hard limit.
Despite many attempts to figure out which of the internals trigger this
`STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW` and how to maybe increase certain sizes to avoid
running into this issue and let Git behave the same way as under Linux,
I failed to find any build-time/runtime knob we could turn to that
effect.
Note: even switching to using a different allocator (I used mimalloc
because that's what Git for Windows uses for its GCC builds) does not
help, as the zlib code used to unpack compressed pack entries _still_
uses the regular `malloc()`. And runs into the same issue.
Note also: switching to using a different allocator _also_ for zlib code
seems _also_ not to help. I tried that, and it still exited with
`STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW` that seems to have been triggered by a
`mi_assert_internal()`, i.e. an internal assertion of mimalloc...
So the best bet to work around this for now seems to just lower the
maximum allowed tree depth _even further_ for MSVC builds.

On my Linux system, all of our recursive tree walking algorithms can run
up to the 4096 default limit without segfaulting. But not all platforms
will have stack sizes as generous (nor might even Linux if we kick off a
recursive walk within a thread).
In particular, several of the tests added in the previous few commits
fail in our Windows CI environment. Through some guess-and-check
pushing, I found that 3072 is still too much, but 2048 is OK.
These are obviously vague heuristics, and there is nothing to promise
that another system might not have trouble at even lower values. But it
seems unlikely anybody will be too angry about a 2048-depth limit (this
is close to the default max-pathname limit on Linux even for a
pathological path like "a/a/a/..."). So let's just lower it.
Some alternatives are:
- configure separate defaults for Windows versus other platforms.
- just skip the tests on Windows. This leaves Windows users with the
annoying case that they can be crashed by running out of stack
space, but there shouldn't be any security implications (they can't
go deep enough to hit integer overflow problems).
Since the original default was arbitrary, it seems less confusing to
just lower it, keeping behavior consistent across platforms.
