15 years agofast-export: Avoid dropping files from commits
Elijah Newren [Wed, 25 Mar 2009 23:53:23 +0000 (17:53 -0600)] 
fast-export: Avoid dropping files from commits

When exporting a subset of commits on a branch that do not go back to a
root commit (e.g. master~2..master), we still want each exported commit to
have the same files in the exported tree as in the original tree.

Previously, when given such a range, we would omit master~2 as a parent of
master~1, but we would still diff against master~2 when selecting the list
of files to include in master~1.  This would result in only files that
had changed in the given range showing up in the resulting export.  In such
cases, we should diff master~1 against the root instead (i.e. use
diff_root_tree_sha1 instead of diff_tree_sha1).

There's a special case to consider here: incremental exports (i.e. exports
where the --import-marks flag is specified).  If master~2 is an imported
mark, then we still want to diff master~1 against master~2 when selecting
the list of files to include.

We can handle all cases, including the special case, by just checking
whether master~2 corresponds to a known object mark when deciding what to
diff against.

Before a process can be spawned by mingw_spawnve, arguments must be
surrounded by double-quotes if special characters are present.  This is
necessary because the startup code of the spawned process will expand
arguments that look like glob patterns.  "Normal" Windows command line
utilities expand only * and ?, but MSYS programs, including bash, are
different: They also expand braces, and this has already been taken care
of by compat/mingw.c:quote_arg().

But MSYS programs also treat single-quotes in a special way: Arguments
between single-quotes are spliced together (with spaces) into a word.
With this patch this treatment is avoided by quoting arguments that contain
single-quotes.

avoid possible overflow in delta size filtering computation

On a 32-bit system, the maximum possible size for an object is less than
4GB, while 64-bit systems may cope with larger objects.  Due to this
limitation, variables holding object sizes are using an unsigned long
type (32 bits on 32-bit systems, or 64 bits on 64-bit systems).

When large objects are encountered, and/or people play with large delta
depth values, it is possible for the maximum allowed delta size
computation to overflow, especially on a 32-bit system.  When this
occurs, surviving result bits may represent a value much smaller than
what it is supposed to be, or even zero.  This prevents some objects
from being deltified although they do get deltified when a smaller depth
limit is used.  Fix this by always performing a 64-bit multiplication.

that use compat/mingw.c; bash and perl (the other important executables

import-tars: separate author from committer

The import-tars script is typically employed to (re)create the past
history of a project from stored tars. Although assigning authorship in
these cases can be a somewhat arbitrary process, it makes sense to set
the author to whoever created the tars in the first place (if it's
known), and (s)he can in general be different from the committer
(whoever is running the script).

Implement this by having separate author and committer data, making them
settable from the usual GIT_* environment variables.

15 years agoTests on Windows: $(pwd) must return Windows-style paths
Johannes Sixt [Fri, 13 Mar 2009 22:35:24 +0000 (23:35 +0100)] 
Tests on Windows: $(pwd) must return Windows-style paths

Many tests pass $(pwd) in some form to git and later test that the output
of git contains the correct value of $(pwd). For example, the test of
'git remote show' sets up a remote that contains $(pwd) and then the
expected result must contain $(pwd).

Again, MSYS-bash's path mangling kicks in: Plain $(pwd) uses the MSYS style
absolute path /c/path/to/git. The test case would write this name into
the 'expect' file. But when git is invoked, MSYS-bash converts this name to
the Windows style path c:/path/to/git, and git would produce this form in
the result; the test would fail.

We fix this by passing -W to bash's pwd that produces the Windows-style
path.

There are a two cases that need an accompanying change:

- In t1504 the value of $(pwd) becomes part of a path list. In this case,
  the lone 'c' in something like /foo:c:/path/to/git:/bar inhibits
  MSYS-bashes path mangling; IOW in this case we want the /c/path/to/git
  form to allow path mangling. We use $PWD instead of $(pwd), which always
  has the latter form.

- In t6200, $(pwd) - the Windows style path - must be used to construct the
  expected result because that is the path form that git sees. (The change
  in the test itself is just for consistency: 'git fetch' always sees the
  Windows-style path, with or without the change.)

t2200, t7004: Avoid glob pattern that also matches files

On Windows, there is an unfortunate interaction between the MSYS bash and
git's command line processing:

- Since Windows's CMD does not do the wildcard expansion, but passes
  arguments like path* through to the programs, the programs must do the
  expansion themselves. This happens in the startup code before main() is
  entered.

- bash, however, passes the argument "path*" to git, assuming that git will
  see the unquoted word unchanged as a single argument.

But actually git expands the unquoted word before main() is entered.

In t2200, not all names that the test case is interested in exist as files
at the time when 'git ls-files' is invoked. git expands "path?" to only
the subset of files the exist, and only that subset was listed, so that the
test failed.  We now list all interesting paths explicitly.

In t7004, git exanded the pattern "*a*" to "actual" (the file that stdout
was redirected to), which is not what the was tested for. We fix it by
renaming the output file (and removing any existing files matching *a*).
This was originally fixed by Johannes Schindelin.

that need core.filemode=false. Two places where only 'chmod +x' was used
we also use this new function.

The function calls 'git update-index --chmod' without checking
core.filemode (unlike some of the call sites did). We do this because the
call sites *expect* that the executable bit ends up in the index (ie. it
is not the purpose of the call sites to *test* whether git treats
'chmod +x' and 'update-index --chmod=+x' correctly). Therefore, on
filesystems with core.filemode=true the 'git update-index --chmod' is a
no-op.

The function uses --add with update-index to help one call site in
t6031-merge-recursive. It makes no difference for the other callers.
