git-clone: don't get fooled by $PWD

If you have /home/me/git symlink pointing at /pub/git/mine,
trying to clone from /pub/git/his/ using relative path would not
work as expected:

$ cd /home/me
        $ cd git
        $ ls ../
        his    mine
        $ git clone -l -s -n ../his/stuff.git

This is because "cd ../his/stuff.git" done inside git-clone to
check if the repository is local is confused by $PWD, which is
set to /home/me, and tries to go to /home/his/stuff.git which is
different from /pub/git/his/stuff.git.

We could probably say "set -P" (or "cd -P") instead, if we know
the shell is POSIX, but the way the patch is coded is probably
more portable.

Teach import-tars about GNU tar's @LongLink extension.

This extension allows GNU tar to process file names in excess of the 100
characters defined by the original tar standard. It does this by faking a
file, named '././@LongLink' containing the true file name, and then adding
the file with a truncated name. The idea is that tar without this
extension will write out a file with the long file name, and write the
contents into a file with truncated name.

Unfortunately, GNU tar does a lousy job at times. When truncating results
in a _directory_ name, it will happily use _that_ as a truncated name for
the file.

An example where this actually happens is gcc-4.1.2, where the full path
of the file WeThrowThisExceptionHelper.java truncates _exactly_ before the
basename. So, we have to support that ad-hoc extension.

Fix symlink handling in git-svn, related to PerlIO

After reading the leading contents from a symlink data obtained
from subversion, which we expect to begin with 'link ', the code
forked to hash the remainder (which should match readlink()
result) using git-hash-objects, by redirecting its STDIN from
the filehandle we read that 'link ' from.  This was Ok with Perl
on modern Linux, but on Mac OS, the read in the parent process
slurped more than we asked for in stdio buffer, and the child
did not correctly see the "remainder".

This attempts to fix the issue by using lower level sysseek and
sysread instead of seek and read to bypass the stdio buffer.

Shawn O. Pearce [Wed, 25 Apr 2007 08:02:27 +0000 (04:02 -0400)]
Actually handle some-low memory conditions

Tim Ansell discovered his Debian server didn't permit git-daemon to
use as much memory as it needed to handle cloning a project with
a 128 MiB packfile.  Filtering the strace provided by Tim of the
rev-list child showed this gem of a sequence:

  open("./objects/pack/pack-*.pack", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE <unfinished ...>
  <... open resumed> )              = 5

OK, so the packfile is fd 5...

  mmap2(NULL, 33554432, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0 <unfinished ...>
   <... mmap2 resumed> )             = 0xb5e2d000

and we mapped one 32 MiB window from it at position 0...

   mmap2(NULL, 31020635, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0x6000 <unfinished ...>
   <... mmap2 resumed> )             = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)

And we asked for another window further into the file.  But got
denied.  In Tim's case this was due to a resource limit on the
git-daemon process, and its children.

Now where are we in the code?  We're down inside use_pack(),
after we have called unuse_one_window() enough times to make sure
we stay within our allowed maximum window size.  However since we
didn't unmap the prior window at 0xb5e2d000 we aren't exceeding
the current limit (which probably was just the defaults).

But we're actually down inside xmmap()...

So we release the window we do have (by calling release_pack_memory),
assuming there is some memory pressure...

   munmap(0xb5e2d000, 33554432 <unfinished ...>
   <... munmap resumed> )            = 0
   close(5 <unfinished ...>
   <... close resumed> )             = 0

And that was the last window in this packfile.  So we closed it.
Way to go us.  Our xmmap did not expect release_pack_memory to
close the fd its about to map...

   mmap2(NULL, 31020635, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0x6000 <unfinished ...>
   <... mmap2 resumed> )             = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)

And so the Linux kernel happily tells us f' off.

   write(2, "fatal: ", 7 <unfinished ...>
   <... write resumed> )             = 7
   write(2, "Out of memory? mmap failed: Bad "..., 47 <unfinished ...>
   <... write resumed> )             = 47

And we report the bad file descriptor error, and not the ENOMEM,
and die, claiming we are out of memory.  But actually that mmap
should have succeeded, as we had enough memory for that window,
seeing as how we released the prior one.

Originally when I developed the sliding window mmap feature I had
this exact same bug in fast-import, and I dealt with it by handing
in the struct packed_git* we want to open the new window for, as the
caller wasn't prepared to reopen the packfile if unuse_one_window
closed it.  The same is true here from xmmap, but the caller doesn't
have the struct packed_git* handy.  So I'm using the file descriptor
instead to perform the same test.

Josh Triplett [Tue, 24 Apr 2007 07:51:35 +0000 (00:51 -0700)]
Create a sysconfdir variable, and use it for ETC_GITCONFIG

ETC_GITCONFIG defaults to $(prefix)/etc/gitconfig, so if you just set
prefix=/usr, you end up with a git that looks in /usr/etc/gitconfig, rather
than /etc/gitconfig as specified by the FHS.  Furthermore, setting
ETC_GITCONFIG does not fix the paths to any future system-wide configuration
files.

Factor out the path to the system-wide configuration directory into a variable
sysconfdir, normally set to $(prefix)/etc, but set to /etc when prefix=/usr .
This fixes the prefix=/usr problem for ETC_GITCONFIG, and allows centralized
configuration of any future system-wide configuration files without requiring
further action from package maintainers or other people building and
installing git.

dir.c(common_prefix): Fix two bugs

The function common_prefix() is used to find the common subdirectory of
a couple of pathnames. When checking if the next pathname matches up with
the prefix, it incorrectly checked the whole path, not just the prefix
(including the slash). Thus, the expensive part of the loop was executed
always.

The other bug is more serious: if the first and the last pathname in the
list have a longer common prefix than the common prefix for _all_ pathnames
in the list, the longer one would be chosen. This bug was probably hidden
by the fact that bash's wildcard expansion sorts the results, and the code
just so happens to work with sorted input.

Fix overwriting of files when applying contextually independent diffs

Noticed by applying two diffs of different contexts to the same file.

The check for existence of a file was wrong: the test assumed it was
a directory and reset the errno (twice: directly and by calling
lstat). So if an entry existed and was _not_ a directory no attempt
was made to rename into it, because the errno (expected by renaming
code) was already reset to 0. This resulted in error:

    fatal: unable to write file file mode 100644

For Linux, removing "errno = 0" is enough, as lstat wont modify errno
if it was successful. The behavior should not be depended upon,
though, so modify the "if" as well.

The test simulates this situation.
