18 years agogit-svn: fix several corner-case and rare bugs with 'commit'

git-svn: fix several corner-case and rare bugs with 'commit'

None of these were really show-stoppers (or even triggered)
on most of the trees I've tracked.

* Node change prevention for identically named nodes.  This is
  a limitation of SVN, but we find the error and exit before
  it's passed to SVN so we don't dirty our working tree when our
  commit fails.  git-svn will exit with an error code 1 if any
  of the following conditions are found:

  1.  a directory is removed and a file of the same name of the
      removed directory is created
  1a. a file has its parent directory removed and the file is
      takes the name of the removed parent directory::
          baz/zzz    =>  baz
  2.  a file is removed and a directory of the same name of the
      removed file is created.
  2a. a file is moved into a deeper directory that shares the
      previous name of the file::
          dir/$file  =>  dir/file/$file

  Since SVN cannot handle these cases, the user will have to
  manually split the commit into several parts.

* --rmdir now handles nested/deep removals. If dir/a/b/c/d/e/file
  is removed, and everything else is in the dir/ hierarchy is
  otherwise empty, then dir/ will be deleted when file is deleted
  from svn and --rmdir specified.

* Always assert that we have written the tree we want to write
  on commits.  This helped me find several bugs in the symlink
  handling code (which as been fixed).

* Several symlink handling fixes.  We now refuse to set
  permissions on symlinks.  We also always unlink a file
  if we're going to overwrite it.

* Apply changes in a pre-determined order, so we always have
  rename from locations handy before we delete them.

Gaah. It was trivial, and it happened to work fine for my test-case, but

Actually, I got interested in seeing how hard this is, and wrote a simple
first cut at doing a tree-optimized merger.

Let me shout a bit first:

  THIS IS WORKING CODE, BUT BE CAREFUL: IT'S A TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION
  RATHER THAN THE FINAL PRODUCT!

With that out of the way, let me descibe what this does (and then describe
the missing parts).

This is basically a three-way merge that works entirely on the "tree"
level, rather than on the index. A lot of the _concepts_ are the same,
though, and if you're familiar with the results of an index merge, some of
the output will make more sense.

You give it three trees: the base tree (tree 0), and the two branches to
be merged (tree 1 and tree 2 respectively). It will then walk these three
trees, and resolve them as it goes along.

The interesting part is:
 - it can resolve whole sub-directories in one go, without actually even
   looking recursively at them. A whole subdirectory will resolve the same
   way as any individual files will (although that may need some
   modification, see later).
 - if it has a "content conflict", for subdirectories that means "try to
   do a recursive tree merge", while for non-subdirectories it's just a
   content conflict and we'll output the stage 1/2/3 information.
 - a successful merge will output a single stage 0 ("merged") entry,
   potentially for a whole subdirectory.
 - it outputs all the resolve information on stdout, so something like the
   recursive resolver can pretty easily parse it all.

Now, the caveats:
 - we probably need to be more careful about subdirectory resolves. The
   trivial case (both branches have the exact same subdirectory) is a
   trivial resolve, but the other cases ("branch1 matches base, branch2 is
   different" probably can't be silently just resolved to the "branch2"
   subdirectory state, since it might involve renames into - or out of -
   that subdirectory)
 - we do not track the current index file at all, so this does not do the
   "check that index matches branch1" logic that the three-way merge in
   git-read-tree does. The theory is that we'd do a full three-way merge
   (ignoring the index and working directory), and then to update the
   working tree, we'd do a two-way "git-read-tree branch1->result"
 - I didn't actually make it do all the trivial resolve cases that
   git-read-tree does. It's a technology demonstration.

Finally (a more serious caveat):
 - doing things through stdout may end up being so expensive that we'd
   need to do something else. In particular, it's likely that I should
   not actually output the "merge results", but instead output a "merge
   results as they _differ_ from branch1"

However, I think this patch is already interesting enough that people who
are interested in merging trees might want to look at it. Please keep in
mind that tech _demo_ part, and in particular, keep in mind the final
"serious caveat" part.

In many ways, the really _interesting_ part of a merge is not the result,
but how it _changes_ the branch we're merging into. That's particularly
important as it should hopefully also mean that the output size for any
reasonable case is minimal (and tracks what we actually need to do to the
current state to create the final result).

The code very much is organized so that doing the result as a "diff
against branch1" should be quite easy/possible. I was actually going to do
it, but I decided that it probably makes the output harder to read. I
dunno.

Anyway, let's think about this kind of approach.. Note how the code itself
is actually quite small and short, although it's prbably pretty "dense".

As an interesting test-case, I'd suggest this merge in the kernel:

git-merge-tree $(git-merge-base 4cbf876 7d2babc4cbf876 7d2babc

which resolves beautifully (there are no actual file-level conflicts), and
you can look at the output of that command to start thinking about what
it does.

The interesting part (perhaps) is that timing that command for me shows
that it takes all of 0.004 seconds.. (the git-merge-base thing takes
considerably more ;)

The point is, we _can_ do the actual merge part really really quickly.

Linus

PS. Final note: when I say that it is "WORKING CODE", that is obviously by
my standards. IOW, I tested it once and it gave reasonable results - so it
must be perfect.

Whether it works for anybody else, or indeed for any other test-case, is
not my problem ;)

paths that are dirty in the working tree.  But we allow switching
branches with updated index ("read-tree -m -u $old $new" works that

Fix object re-hashing

The hashed object lookup had a subtle bug in re-hashing: it did

for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
if (objs[i]) {
.. rehash ..

where "count" was the old hash couny. Oon the face of it is obvious, since
it clearly re-hashes all the old objects.

However, it's wrong.

If the last old hash entry before re-hashing was in use (or became in use
by the re-hashing), then when re-hashing could have inserted an object
into the hash entries with idx >= count due to overflow. When we then
rehash the last old entry, that old entry might become empty, which means
that the overflow entries should be re-hashed again.

In other words, the loop has to be fixed to either traverse the whole
array, rather than just the old count.

(There's room for a slight optimization: instead of counting all the way
up, we can break when we see the first empty slot that is above the old
"count". At that point we know we don't have any collissions that we might
have to fix up any more. This patch only does the trivial fix)

Make "git clone" less of a deathly quiet experience

It used to be that "git-unpack-objects" would give nice percentages, but
now that we don't unpack the initial clone pack any more, it doesn't. And
I'd love to do that nice percentage view in the pack objects downloader
too, but the thing doesn't even read the pack header, much less know how
much it's going to get, so I was lazy and didn't.

Instead, it at least prints out how much data it's gotten, and what the
packing speed is. Which makes the user realize that it's actually doing
something useful instead of sitting there silently (and if the recipient
knows how large the final result is, he can at least make a guess about
when it migt be done).

So with this patch, I get something like this on my DSL line:

[torvalds@g5 ~]$ time git clone master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6 clone-test
Packing 188543 objects
  48.398MB  (154 kB/s)

where even the speed approximation seems to be roughtly correct (even
though my algorithm is a truly stupid one, and only really gives "speed in
the last half second or so").

Anyway, _something_ like this is definitely needed. It could certainly be
better (if it showed the same kind of thing that git-unpack-objects did,
that would be much nicer, but would require parsing the object stream as
it comes in). But this is  big step forward, I think.
