look at uninitialized data, and increment the pointer beyond
one past the end of the allocated space. Since we don't
actually do anything with the data until after the check,
this is not a problem in practice.

because it provokes a spurious valgrind warning, let's just
move the initialization of entry to a safe place.

16 years agocorrect cache_entry allocation
Jeff King [Thu, 23 Oct 2008 04:30:58 +0000 (04:30 +0000)]
correct cache_entry allocation

Most cache_entry structs are allocated by using the
cache_entry_size macro, which rounds the size of the struct
up to the nearest multiple of 8 bytes (presumably to avoid
memory fragmentation).

There is one exception: the special "conflict entry" is
allocated with an empty name, and so is explicitly given
just one extra byte to hold the NUL.

However, later code doesn't realize that this particular
struct has been allocated differently, and happily tries
reading and copying it based on the ce_size macro, which
assumes the 8-byte alignment.

This can lead to reading uninitalized data, though since
that data is simply padding, there shouldn't be any problem
as a result. Still, it makes sense to hold the padding
assumption so as not to surprise later maintainers.

This fixes valgrind errors in t1005, t3030, t4002, and
t4114.

git fetch origin master:master

While it might make sense to store what you want to pull, it typically is

allowed when (an incorrect) "git pull origin master:master" tries to work
around by giving --update-head-ok to underlying "git fetch", and otherwise
we should refuse it, but somewhere along the lines we lost that behavior.

The check for the current branch is now _only_ performed in non-bare
repositories, which is an improvement from the original behaviour.

fix pread()'s short read in index-pack

Since v1.6.0.2~13^2~ the completion of a thin pack uses sha1write() for
its ability to compute a SHA1 on the written data.  This also provides
data buffering which, along with commit 92392b4a45, will confuse pread()
whenever an appended object is 1) freed due to memory pressure because
of the depth-first delta processing, and 2) needed again because it has
many delta children, and 3) its data is still buffered by sha1write().

Let's fix the issue by simply forcing cached data out when such an
object is written so it can be pread()'d at leisure.

16 years agogit-stash.sh: fix flawed fix of invalid ref handling (commit da65e7c1)

git-stash.sh: fix flawed fix of invalid ref handling (commit da65e7c1)

The referenced commit tried to fix a flaw in stash's handling of a user
supplied invalid ref. i.e. 'git stash apply fake_ref@{0}' should fail
instead of applying stash@{0}. But, it did so in a naive way by avoiding the
use of the --default option of rev-parse, and instead manually supplied the
default revision if the user supplied an empty command line. This prevented
a common usage scenario of supplying flags on the stash command line (i.e.
non-empty command line) which would be parsed by lower level git commands,
without supplying a specific revision. This should fall back to the default
revision, but now it causes an error. e.g. 'git stash show -p'

The correct fix is to use the --verify option of rev-parse, which fails
properly if an invalid ref is supplied, and still allows falling back to a
default ref when one is not supplied.

Convert stash-drop to use --verify while we're at it, since specifying
multiple revisions for any of these commands is also an error and --verify
makes it so.

git init: --bare/--shared overrides system/global config

If core.bare or core.sharedRepository are set in /etc/gitconfig or
~/.gitconfig, then 'git init' will read the values when constructing a
new config file; reading them, however, will override the values
specified on the command line.  In the case of --bare, this ends up
causing a segfault, without the repository being properly initialised;
in the case of --shared, the permissions are set according to the
existing config settings, not what was specified on the command line.

This fix saves any specified values for --bare and --shared prior to
reading existing config settings, and restores them after reading but
before writing the new config file.  core.bare is ignored in all
situations, while core.sharedRepository will only be used if --shared
is not specified to git init.

16 years agofix bogus "diff --git" header from "diff --no-index"

fix bogus "diff --git" header from "diff --no-index"

When "git diff --no-index" is given an absolute pathname, it
would generate a diff header with the absolute path
prepended by the prefix, like:

  diff --git a/dev/null b/foo

Not only is this nonsensical, and not only does it violate
the description of diffs given in git-diff(1), but it would
produce broken binary diffs. Unlike text diffs, the binary
diffs don't contain the filenames anywhere else, and so "git
apply" relies on this header to figure out the filename.

This patch just refuses to use an invalid name for anything
visible in the diff.

Now, this fixes the "git diff --no-index --binary a
/dev/null" kind of case (and we'll end up using "a" as the
basename), but some other insane cases are impossible to
handle. If you do

git diff --no-index --binary a /bin/echo

you'll still get a patch like

diff --git a/a b/bin/echo
old mode 100644
new mode 100755
index ...

and "git apply" will refuse to apply it for a couple of
reasons, and the diff is simply bogus.

And that, btw, is no longer a bug, I think. It's impossible
to know whethe the user meant for the patch to be a rename
or not. And as such, refusing to apply it because you don't
know what name you should use is probably _exactly_ the
right thing to do!
