Fix core.sharedRepository = 2

For compatibility reasons, "git init --shared=all" does not write
"all" into the config, but a number.  In the shared setup, you
really have to support even older clients on the _same_ repository.

But git_config_perm() did not pick up on it.

Also, "git update-server-info" failed to pick up on the shared
permissions.

This patch fixes both issues, and adds a test to prove it.

Support wholesale directory renames in fast-import

Some source material (e.g. Subversion dump files) perform directory
renames without telling us exactly which files in that subdirectory
were moved.  This makes it hard for a frontend to convert such data
formats to a fast-import stream, as all the frontend has on hand
is "Rename a/ to b/" with no details about what files are in a/,
unless the frontend also kept track of all files.

The new 'R' subcommand within a commit allows the frontend to
rename either a file or an entire subdirectory, without needing to
know the object's SHA-1 or the specific files contained within it.
The rename is performed as efficiently as possible internally,
making it cheaper than a 'D'/'M' pair for a file rename.

17 years agoFix configuration syntax to specify customized hunk header patterns.
Junio C Hamano [Sat, 7 Jul 2007 08:49:58 +0000 (01:49 -0700)]
Fix configuration syntax to specify customized hunk header patterns.

This updates the hunk header customization syntax.  The special
case 'funcname' attribute is gone.

You assign the name of the type of contents to path's "diff"
attribute as a string value in .gitattributes like this:

*.java diff=java
*.perl diff=perl
*.doc diff=doc

If you supply "diff.<name>.funcname" variable via the
configuration mechanism (e.g. in $HOME/.gitconfig), the value is
used as the regexp set to find the line to use for the hunk
header (the variable is called "funcname" because such a line
typically is the one that has the name of the function in
programming language source text).

If there is no such configuration, built-in default is used, if
any.  Currently there are two default patterns: default and java.

test $GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL = xyz &&

the whole filter has a non-zero exit status. However, as demonstrated

none the wiser.

Also, a failing msg-filter would not have been caught, as was the
case with one of the tests.

17 years agoDon't smash stack when $GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES is too long
Jim Meyering [Tue, 3 Jul 2007 10:40:20 +0000 (12:40 +0200)]
Don't smash stack when $GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES is too long

There is no restriction on the length of the name returned by
get_object_directory, other than the fact that it must be a stat'able
git object directory.  That means its name may have length up to
PATH_MAX-1 (i.e., often 4095) not counting the trailing NUL.

Combine that with the assumption that the concatenation of that name and
suffixes like "/info/alternates" and "/pack/---long-name---.idx" will fit
in a buffer of length PATH_MAX, and you see the problem.  Here's a fix:

    sha1_file.c (prepare_packed_git_one): Lengthen "path" buffer
    so we are guaranteed to be able to append "/pack/" without checking.
    Skip any directory entry that is too long to be appended.
    (read_info_alternates): Protect against a similar buffer overrun.

Before this change, using the following admittedly contrived environment
setting would cause many git commands to clobber their stack and segfault
on a system with PATH_MAX == 4096:

  t=$(perl -e '$s=".git/objects";$n=(4096-6-length($s))/2;print "./"x$n . $s')
  export GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES=$t
  touch g
  ./git-update-index --add g

If you run the above commands, you'll soon notice that many
git commands now segfault, so you'll want to do this:

  unset GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES

17 years agoStart deprecating "git-command" in favor of "git command"
Linus Torvalds [Sat, 30 Jun 2007 18:49:17 +0000 (11:49 -0700)]
Start deprecating "git-command" in favor of "git command"

I realize that a lot of people use the "git-xyzzy" format, and we have
various historical reasons for it, but I also think that most people have
long since started thinking of the git command as a single command with
various subcommands, and we've long had the documentation talk about it
that way.

Slowly migrating away from the git-xyzzy format would allow us to
eventually no longer install hundreds of binaries (even if most of them
are symlinks or hardlinks) in users $PATH, and the _original_ reasons for
it (implementation issues and bash completion) are really long long gone.

Using "git xyzzy" also has some fundamental advantages, like the ability
to specify things like paging ("git -p xyzzy") and making the whole notion
of aliases act like other git commands (which they already do, but they do
*not* have a "git-xyzzy" form!)

Anyway, while actually removing the "git-xyzzy" things is not practical
right now, we can certainly start slowly to deprecate it internally inside
git itself - in the shell scripts we use, and the test vectors.

This patch adds a "remove-dashes" makefile target, which does that. It
isn't particularly efficient or smart, but it *does* successfully rewrite
a lot of our shell scripts to use the "git xyzzy" form for all built-in
commands.

(For non-builtins, the "git xyzzy" format implies an extra execve(), so
this script leaves those alone).

So apply this patch, and then run

make remove-dashes
make test
git commit -a

to generate a much larger patch that actually starts this transformation.

(The only half-way subtle thing about this is that it also fixes up
git-filter-branch.sh for the new world order by adding quoting around
the use of "git-commit-tree" as an argument. It doesn't need it in that
format, but when changed into "git commit-tree" it is no longer a single
word, and the quoting maintains the old behaviour).

NOTE! This does not yet mean that you can actually stop installing the
"git-xyzzy" binaries for the builtins. There are some remaining places
that want to use the old form, this just removes the most obvious ones
that can easily be done automatically.
