Prepare symlink caching for thread-safety

This doesn't actually change the external interfaces, so they are still
thread-unsafe, but it makes the code internally pass a pointer to a
local 'struct cache_def' around, so that the core code can be made
thread-safe.

The threaded index preloading will want to verify that the paths leading
up to a pathname are all real directories.

15 years agoAdd 'fill_directory()' helper function for directory traversal
Linus Torvalds [Thu, 14 May 2009 20:22:36 +0000 (13:22 -0700)]
Add 'fill_directory()' helper function for directory traversal

Most of the users of "read_directory()" actually want a much simpler
interface than the whole complex (but rather powerful) one.

In fact 'git add' had already largely abstracted out the core interface
issues into a private "fill_directory()" function that was largely
applicable almost as-is to a number of callers.  Yes, 'git add' wants to
do some extra work of its own, specific to the add semantics, but we can
easily split that out, and use the core as a generic function.

This function does exactly that, and now that much simplified
'fill_directory()' function can be shared with a number of callers,
while also ensuring that the rather more complex calling conventions of
read_directory() are used by fewer call-sites.

This also makes the 'common_prefix()' helper function private to dir.c,

  count + (*argcp - 1) + 1

git log: add '--merges' flag to match '--no-merges'

I do various statistics on git, and one of the things I look at is merges,
because they are often interesting events to count ("how many merges vs
how much 'real development'" kind of statistics). And you can do it with
some fairly straightforward scripting, ie

git rev-list --parents HEAD |
grep ' .* ' |
git diff-tree --always -s --pretty=oneline --stdin |
less -S

will do it.

But I finally got irritated with the fact that we can skip merges with
'--no-merges', but we can't do the trivial reverse operation.

So this just adds a '--merges' flag that _only_ shows merges. Now you can
do the above with just a

git log --merges --pretty=oneline

which is a lot simpler. It also means that we automatically get a lot of
statistics for free, eg

git shortlog -ns --merges

does exactly what you'd want it to do.

"dcommit all changes on my branch except the last one", we change the
meaning of the revision argument.  git-svn temporarily checks out $rev
for its work, meaning that

* if a branch is specified, that branch (_not_ the HEAD) is rebased as
  part of the dcommit,

If the objects that a client pushes to the server cannot be processed for
any reason, an error is reported back to the client via the git protocol.
We used to send quite detailed information if a system call failed if
unpack-objects is run. This can be regarded as an information leak. Now we
do not send any error details like we already do in the case where
index-pack failed.

Errors in system calls as well as the exit code of unpack-objects and
index-pack are now reported to stderr; in the case of a local push or via
ssh these messages still go to the client, but that is OK since these forms
of access to the server assume that the client can be trusted. If
receive-pack is run from git-daemon, then the daemon should put the error
messages into the syslog.

With this reasoning a new status report is added for the post-update-hook;
untrusted (i.e. daemon's) clients cannot observe its status anyway, others

"also using" sounds a little odd, plus we say combined with later on so

15 years agoFix various sparse warnings in the git source code
Linus Torvalds [Thu, 18 Jun 2009 17:28:43 +0000 (10:28 -0700)]
Fix various sparse warnings in the git source code

There are a few remaining ones, but this fixes the trivial ones. It boils
down to two main issues that sparse complains about:

 - warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer

   Sparse doesn't like you using '0' instead of 'NULL'. For various good
   reasons, not the least of which is just the visual confusion. A NULL
   pointer is not an integer, and that whole "0 works as NULL" is a
   historical accident and not very pretty.

   A few of these remain: zlib is a total mess, and Z_NULL is just a 0.
   I didn't touch those.

 - warning: symbol 'xyz' was not declared. Should it be static?

   Sparse wants to see declarations for any functions you export. A lack
   of a declaration tends to mean that you should either add one, or you
   should mark the function 'static' to show that it's in file scope.

   A few of these remain: I only did the ones that should obviously just
   be made static.

That 'wt_status_submodule_summary' one is debatable. It has a few related
flags (like 'wt_status_use_color') which _are_ declared, and are used by
builtin-commit.c. So maybe we'd like to export it at some point, but it's
not declared now, and not used outside of that file, so 'static' it is in
this patch.

daemon: send stderr of service programs to the syslog

If git-daemon is run with --detach or --inetd, then stderr is explicitly
redirected to /dev/null. But notice that the service programs were spawned
via execl_git_cmd(), in particular, the stderr channel is inherited from
the daemon. This means that errors that the programs wrote to stderr (for
example, via die()), went to /dev/null.

This patch arranges that the daemon does not merely exec the service
program, but forks it and monitors stderr of the child; it writes the
errors that it produces to the daemons log via logerror().

A consequence is that the daemon process remains in memory for the full
duration of the service program, but this cannot be avoided.
