Ever since mergetool--lib was split into multiple files in
v1.7.7-rc0~3^2~1 (2011-08-18), the Makefile takes care to reset umask

$(gitexecdir)/mergetools/.  Unfortunately it does not take into
account the possibility that the permission bits of the files being
copied might already be wrong.

Rather than fixing the "tar" incantation and making it even more
complicated, let's just use the "install" utility.  This only means
losing the ability to install executables and subdirectories of
mergetools/, which wasn't used.

Noticed by installing from a copy of git checked out with umask 002.

Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument

Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument that indicates what
is acceptable in the reference name (analogous to "git
check-ref-format"'s "--allow-onelevel" and "--refspec-pattern").  This
is more convenient for callers and also fixes a failure in the test
suite (and likely elsewhere in the code) by enabling "onelevel" and
"refspec-pattern" to be allowed independently of each other.

Also rename check_ref_format() to check_refname_format() to make it
obvious that it deals with refnames rather than references themselves.

Change bad_ref_char() to return a boolean value

Previously most bad characters were indicated by returning 1, but "*"
was special-cased to return 2 instead of 1.  One caller examined the
return value to see whether the special case occurred.

But it is easier (to document and understand) for bad_ref_char()
simply to return a boolean value, treating "*" like any other bad
character.  Special-case the handling of "*" (which only occurs in
very specific circumstances) at the caller.  The resulting calling
code thereby also becomes more transparent.

git check-ref-format: add options --allow-onelevel and --refspec-pattern

Also add tests of the new options.  (Actually, one big reason to add
the new options is to make it easy to test check_ref_format(), though
the options should also be useful to other scripts.)

Interpret the result of check_ref_format() based on which types of
refnames are allowed.  However, because check_ref_format() can only
return a single value, one test case is still broken.  Specifically,
the case "git check-ref-format --onelevel '*'" incorrectly succeeds
because check_ref_format() returns CHECK_REF_FORMAT_ONELEVEL for this
refname even though the refname is also CHECK_REF_FORMAT_WILDCARD.
The type of check that leads to this failure is used elsewhere in
"real" code and could lead to bugs; it will be fixed over the next few
commits.

Currently we linearly search through lists of refs when we need to

large number of refs.  By changing to a binary search we can make this

In order to be able to use a binary search we need to change from

13 years agogitweb: Fix links to lines in blobs when javascript-actions are enabled
Peter Stuge [Tue, 27 Sep 2011 09:51:00 +0000 (11:51 +0200)]
gitweb: Fix links to lines in blobs when javascript-actions are enabled

The fixLinks() function adds 'js=1' to each link that does not already
have 'js' query parameter specified. This is used to signal to gitweb
that the browser can actually do javascript when these links are used.

There are two problems with the existing code:

  1. URIs with fragment and 'js' query parameter, like e.g.

        ...foo?js=0#l199

     were not recognized as having 'js' query parameter already.

  2. The 'js' query parameter, in the form of either '?js=1' or ';js=1'
     was appended at the end of URI, even if it included a fragment
     (had a hash part).  This lead to the incorrect links like this

        ...foo#l199?js=1

     instead of adding query parameter as last part of query, but
     before the fragment part, i.e.

        ...foo?js=1#l199

13 years agoDon't sort ref_list too early
Julian Phillips [Tue, 27 Sep 2011 00:00:09 +0000 (01:00 +0100)]
Don't sort ref_list too early

get_ref_dir is called recursively for subdirectories, which means that
we were calling sort_ref_list for each directory of refs instead of
once for all the refs.  This is a massive wast of processing, so now
just call sort_ref_list on the result of the top-level get_ref_dir, so
that the sort is only done once.

In the common case of only a few different directories of refs the
difference isn't very noticable, but it becomes very noticeable when
you have a large number of direcotries containing refs (e.g. as
created by Gerrit).

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy [Sun, 25 Sep 2011 23:09:15 +0000 (09:09 +1000)]
git-read-tree.txt: update sparse checkout examples

The negation example uses '*' to match everything. This used to work
before 9037026 (unpack-trees: fix sparse checkout's "unable to match
directories") because back then, the list of paths is used to match
sparse patterns, so with the patterns

    *
    !subdir/

subdir/ always matches any path that start with subdir/ and "*" has no
chance to get tested. The result is subdir is excluded.

After the said commit, a tree structure is dynamically created and
sparse pattern matching now follows closely how read_directory()
applies .gitignore. This solves one problem, but reveals another one.

With this new strategy, "!subdir/" rule will be only tested once when
"subdir" directory is examined. Entries inside subdir, when examined,
will match "*" and are (correctly) re-added again because any rules
without a slash will match at every directory level. In the end, "*"
can revert every negation rules.

In order to correctly exclude subdir, we must use

    /*
    !subdir

to limit "match all" rule at top level only.

"*" rule has no actual use in sparse checkout and can be confusing to
users. While we can automatically turn "*" to "/*", this violates
.gitignore definition. Instead, discourage "*" in favor of "/*" (in
the second example).
