Makefile: detect when PYTHON_PATH changes

When make is run, the python scripts are created from *.py files that
are changed to use the python given by PYTHON_PATH. And PYTHON_PATH

t1402: work around shell quoting issue on NetBSD

The test fails for me on NetBSD 6.0.1 and reports:

ok 1 - ref name '' is invalid
ok 2 - ref name '/' is invalid
ok 3 - ref name '/' is invalid with options --allow-onelevel
ok 4 - ref name '/' is invalid with options --normalize
error: bug in the test script: not 2 or 3 parameters to test-expect-success

The alleged bug is in this line:

invalid_ref NOT_MINGW '/' '--allow-onelevel --normalize'

invalid_ref() constructs a test case description using its last argument,
but the shell seems to split it up into two pieces if it contains a
space.  Minimal test case:

# on NetBSD with /bin/sh
$ a() { echo $#-$1-$2; }
$ t="x"; a "${t:+$t}"
1-x-
$ t="x y"; a "${t:+$t}"
2-x-y
$ t="x y"; a "${t:+x y}"
1-x y-

# and with bash
$ t="x y"; a "${t:+$t}"
1-x y-
$ t="x y"; a "${t:+x y}"
1-x y-

This may be a bug in the shell, but here's a simple workaround: Construct
the description string first and store it in a variable, and then use
that to call test_expect_success().

'Invocation', 'Commands', 'Capabilities', ...

Then it was decided that before giving a list of Commands, there
should be an overall description of the 'Input format', which was
a wise decision. However, this description was put as the very
first thing, with the rationale that any implementor would want
to know that first.

However, it seems an implementor would actually first need to
know how the remote helper will be invoked, so moving
'Invocation' to the front again seems logical. Moreover, we now

11 years agorefs: do not use cached refs in repack_without_ref
Jeff King [Fri, 21 Dec 2012 08:04:49 +0000 (03:04 -0500)]
refs: do not use cached refs in repack_without_ref

When we delete a ref that is packed, we rewrite the whole
packed-refs file and simply omit the ref that no longer
exists. However, we base the rewrite on whatever happens to
be in our refs cache, not what is necessarily on disk. That
opens us up to a race condition if another process is
simultaneously packing the refs, as we will overwrite their
newly-made pack-refs file with our potentially stale data,
losing commits.

You can demonstrate the race like this:

  # setup some repositories
  git init --bare parent &&
  (cd parent && git config core.logallrefupdates true) &&
  git clone parent child &&
  (cd child && git commit --allow-empty -m base)

  # in one terminal, repack the refs repeatedly
  cd parent &&
  while true; do
git pack-refs --all
  done

  # in another terminal, simultaneously push updates to
  # master, and create and delete an unrelated ref
  cd child &&
  while true; do
git push origin HEAD:newbranch &&
git commit --allow-empty -m foo
us=`git rev-parse master` &&
git push origin master &&
git push origin :newbranch &&
them=`git --git-dir=../parent rev-parse master` &&
if test "$them" != "$us"; then
echo >&2 "$them" != "$us"
exit 1
fi
  done

In many cases the two processes will conflict over locking
the packed-refs file, and the deletion of newbranch will
simply fail.  But eventually you will hit the race, which
happens like this:

  1. We push a new commit to master. It is already packed
     (from the looping pack-refs call). We write the new
     value (let us call it B) to $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master,
     but the old value (call it A) remains in the
     packed-refs file.

  2. We push the deletion of newbranch, spawning a
     receive-pack process. Receive-pack advertises all refs
     to the client, causing it to iterate over each ref; it
     caches the packed refs in memory, which points at the
     stale value A.

  3. Meanwhile, a separate pack-refs process is running. It
     runs to completion, updating the packed-refs file to
     point master at B, and deleting $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master
     which also pointed at B.

  4. Back in the receive-pack process, we get the
     instruction to delete :newbranch. We take a lock on
     packed-refs (which works, as the other pack-refs
     process has already finished). We then rewrite the
     contents using the cached refs, which contain the stale
     value A.

The resulting packed-refs file points master once again at
A. The loose ref which would override it to point at B was
deleted (rightfully) in step 3. As a result, master now
points at A. The only trace that B ever existed in the
parent is in the reflog: the final entry will show master
moving from A to B, even though the ref still points at A
(so you can detect this race after the fact, because the
next reflog entry will move from A to C).

We can fix this by invalidating the packed-refs cache after
we have taken the lock. This means that we will re-read the
packed-refs file, and since we have the lock, we will be
sure that what we read will be atomically up-to-date when we
write (it may be out of date with respect to loose refs, but
that is OK, as loose refs take precedence).

cases where the address is used as an example and is not valid.

Particularly annoying is the example "jane@laptop.(none)" which appears
in git-shortlog(1) as "jane@laptop[1].(none)", with note 1 saying:

1. jane@laptop
   mailto:jane@laptop

Fix this by escaping these email addresses with a leading backslash, to
prevent Asciidoc expanding them as inline macros.

In the case of mailmap.txt, render the address monospaced so that it
matches the block examples surrounding that paragraph.

cache-tree: invalidate i-t-a paths after generating trees

Intent-to-add entries used to forbid writing trees so it was not a
problem. After commit 3f6d56d (commit: ignore intent-to-add entries
instead of refusing - 2012-02-07), we can generate trees from an index
with i-t-a entries.

However, the commit forgets to invalidate all paths leading to i-t-a
entries. With fully valid cache-tree (e.g. after commit or
write-tree), diff operations may prefer cache-tree to index and not
see i-t-a entries in the index, because cache-tree does not have them.

cache-tree: fix writing cache-tree when CE_REMOVE is present

entry_count is used in update_one() for two purposes:

1. to skip through the number of processed entries in in-memory index
2. to record the number of entries this cache-tree covers on disk

Unfortunately when CE_REMOVE is present these numbers are not the same
because CE_REMOVE entries are automatically removed before writing to
disk but entry_count is not adjusted and still counts CE_REMOVE
entries.

Separate the two use cases into two different variables. #1 is taken
care by the new field count in struct cache_tree_sub and entry_count
is prepared for #2.
