Martin Ågren	d74b541e0b	branch: respect `pager.branch` in list-mode only Similar to `de121ffe5` (tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only, 2017-08-02), use the DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG-mechanism to only respect `pager.branch` when we are listing branches. We have two possibilities of generalizing what that earlier commit made to `git tag`. One is to interpret, e.g., --set-upstream-to as "it does not use an editor, so we should page". Another, the one taken by this commit, is to say "it does not list, so let's not page". That is in line with the approach of the series on `pager.tag` and in particular the wording in Documentation/git-tag.txt, which this commit reuses for git-branch.txt. This fixes the failing test added in the previous commit. Also adapt the test for whether `git branch --set-upstream-to` respects `pager.branch`.

Jeff King	27344d6a6c	git: add --no-optional-locks option Some tools like IDEs or fancy editors may periodically run commands like "git status" in the background to keep track of the state of the repository. Some of these commands may refresh the index and write out the result in an opportunistic way: if they can get the index lock, then they update the on-disk index with any updates they find. And if not, then their in-core refresh is lost and just has to be recomputed by the next caller. But taking the index lock may conflict with other operations in the repository. Especially ones that the user is doing themselves, which _aren't_ opportunistic. In other words, "git status" knows how to back off when somebody else is holding the lock, but other commands don't know that status would be happy to drop the lock if somebody else wanted it. There are a couple possible solutions: 1. Have some kind of "pseudo-lock" that allows other commands to tell status that they want the lock. This is likely to be complicated and error-prone to implement (and maybe even impossible with just dotlocks to work from, as it requires some inter-process communication). 2. Avoid background runs of commands like "git status" that want to do opportunistic updates, preferring instead plumbing like diff-files, etc. This is awkward for a couple of reasons. One is that "status --porcelain" reports a lot more about the repository state than is available from individual plumbing commands. And two is that we actually _do_ want to see the refreshed index. We just don't want to take a lock or write out the result. Whereas commands like diff-files expect us to refresh the index separately and write it to disk so that they can depend on the result. But that write is exactly what we're trying to avoid. 3. Ask "status" not to lock or write the index. This is easy to implement. The big downside is that any work done in refreshing the index for such a call is lost when the process exits. So a background process may end up re-hashing a changed file multiple times until the user runs a command that does an index refresh themselves. This patch implements the option 3. The idea (and the test) is largely stolen from a Git for Windows patch by Johannes Schindelin, 67e5ce7f63 (status: offer not to lock the index and update it, 2016-08-12). The twist here is that instead of making this an option to "git status", it becomes a "git" option and matching environment variable. The reason there is two-fold: 1. An environment variable is carried through to sub-processes. And whether an invocation is a background process or not should apply to the whole process tree. So you could do "git --no-optional-locks foo", and if "foo" is a script or alias that calls "status", you'll still get the effect. 2. There may be other programs that want the same treatment. I've punted here on finding more callers to convert, since "status" is the obvious one to call as a repeated background job. But "git diff"'s opportunistic refresh of the index may be a good candidate. The test is taken from 67e5ce7f63, and it's worth repeating Johannes's explanation: Note that the regression test added in this commit does not really verify that no index.lock file was written; that test is not possible in a portable way. Instead, we verify that .git/index is rewritten only when `git status` is run without `--no-optional-locks`.

Martin Ågren	595d59e2b5	git.c: ignore pager.* when launching builtin as dashed external When running, e.g., `git -c alias.bar=foo bar`, we expand the alias and execute `git-foo` as a dashed external. This is true even if git foo is a builtin. That is on purpose, and is motivated in a comment which was added in commit `441981bc` ("git: simplify environment save/restore logic", 2016-01-26). Shortly before we launch a dashed external, and unless we have already found out whether we should use a pager, we check `pager.foo`. This was added in commit `92058e4d` ("support pager.* for external commands", 2011-08-18). If the dashed external is a builtin, this does not match that commit's intention and is arguably wrong, since it would be cleaner if we let the "dashed external builtin" handle `pager.foo`. This has not mattered in practice, but a recent patch taught `git-tag` to ignore `pager.tag` under certain circumstances. But, when started using an alias, it doesn't get the chance to do so, as outlined above. That recent patch added a test to document this breakage. Do not check `pager.foo` before launching a builtin as a dashed external, i.e., if we recognize the name of the external as a builtin. Change the test to use `test_expect_success`.

Martin Ågren	de121ffe57	tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only Using, e.g., `git -c pager.tag tag -a new-tag` results in errors such as "Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal" and a garbled terminal. Someone who makes use of both `git tag -a` and `git tag -l` will probably not set `pager.tag`, so that `git tag -a` will actually work, at the cost of not paging output of `git tag -l`. Use the mechanisms introduced in two earlier patches to ignore `pager.tag` in git.c and let the `git tag` builtin handle it on its own. Only respect `pager.tag` when running in list-mode. There is a window between where the pager is started before and after this patch. This means that early errors can behave slightly different before and after this patch. Since operation-parsing has to happen inside this window, this can be seen with `git -c pager.tag="echo pager is used" tag -l --unknown-option`. This change in paging-behavior should be acceptable since it only affects erroneous usages. Update the documentation and update tests. If an alias is used to run `git tag -a`, then `pager.tag` will still be respected. Document this known breakage. It will be fixed in a later commit. Add a similar test for `-l`, which works.

Martin Ågren	033fe3d92c	git.c: provide setup_auto_pager() The previous patch introduced a way for builtins to declare that they will take responsibility for handling the `pager.foo`-config item. (See the commit message of that patch for why that could be useful.) Provide setup_auto_pager(), which builtins can call in order to handle `pager.<cmd>`, including possibly starting the pager. Make this function don't do anything if a pager has already been started, as indicated by use_pager or pager_in_use(). Whenever this function is called from a builtin, git.c will already have called commit_pager_choice(). Since commit_pager_choice() treats the special value -1 as "punt" or "not yet decided", it is not a problem that we might end up calling commit_pager_choice() once in git.c and once (or more) in the builtin. Make the new function use -1 in the same way and document it as "punt". Don't add any users of setup_auto_pager just yet, one will follow in a later patch.

Martin Ågren	c409824cc2	git.c: let builtins opt for handling `pager.foo` themselves Before launching a builtin git foo and unless mechanisms with precedence are in use, we check for and handle the `pager.foo` config. This is done without considering exactly how git foo is being used, and indeed, git.c cannot (and should not) know what the arguments to git foo are supposed to achieve. In practice this means that, e.g., `git -c pager.tag tag -a new-tag` results in errors such as "Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal" and a garbled terminal. Someone who makes use of both `git tag -a` and `git tag -l` will probably not set `pager.tag`, so that `git tag -a` will actually work, at the cost of not paging output of `git tag -l`. To allow individual builtins to make more informed decisions about when to respect `pager.foo`, introduce a flag DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG. If the flag is set, do not check `pager.foo`. Do not check for DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG in `execv_dashed_external()`. That call site is arguably wrong, although in a way that is not yet visible, and will be changed in a slightly different direction in a later patch. Don't add any users of DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG just yet, one will follow in a later patch.

Johannes Schindelin	a9bcf6586d	alias: use the early config machinery to expand aliases Instead of discovering the .git/ directory, reading the config and then trying to painstakingly reset all the global state if we did not find a matching alias, let's use the early config machinery instead. It may look like unnecessary work to discover the .git/ directory in the early config machinery and then call setup_git_directory_gently() in the case of a shell alias, repeating the very same discovery again. However, we have to do this as the early config machinery takes pains not to touch any global state, while shell aliases expect a possibly changed working directory and at least the GIT_PREFIX and GIT_DIR variables to be set. This change also fixes a known issue where Git tried to read the pager config from an incorrect path in a subdirectory of a Git worktree if an alias expanded to a shell command.

Johannes Schindelin	4557f1add2	rebase--helper: add a builtin helper for interactive rebases Git's interactive rebase is still implemented as a shell script, despite its complexity. This implies that it suffers from the portability point of view, from lack of expressibility, and of course also from performance. The latter issue is particularly serious on Windows, where we pay a hefty price for relying so much on POSIX. Unfortunately, being such a huge shell script also means that we missed the train when it would have been relatively easy to port it to C, and instead piled feature upon feature onto that poor script that originally never intended to be more than a slightly pimped cherry-pick in a loop. To open the road toward better performance (in addition to all the other benefits of C over shell scripts), let's just start somewhere. The approach taken here is to add a builtin helper that at first intends to take care of the parts of the interactive rebase that are most affected by the performance penalties mentioned above. In particular, after we spent all those efforts on preparing the sequencer to process rebase -i's git-rebase-todo scripts, we implement the `git rebase -i --continue` functionality as a new builtin, git-rebase--helper. Once that is in place, we can work gradually on tackling the rest of the technical debt. Note that the rebase--helper needs to learn about the transient --ff/--no-ff options of git-rebase, as the corresponding flag is not persisted to, and re-read from, the state directory.

Stefan Beller	3d415425c7	unpack-trees: support super-prefix option In the future we want to support working tree operations within submodules, e.g. "git checkout --recurse-submodules", which will update the submodule to the commit as recorded in its superproject. In the submodule the unpack-tree operation is carried out as usual, but the reporting to the user needs to prefix any path with the superproject. The mechanism for this is the super-prefix. (see `74866d757`, git: make super-prefix option) Add support for the super-prefix option for commands that unpack trees by wrapping any path output in unpacking trees in the newly introduced super_prefixed function. This new function prefixes any path with the super-prefix if there is one. Assuming the submodule case doesn't happen in the majority of the cases, we'd want to have a fast behavior for no super prefix, i.e. no reallocation/copying, but just returning path. Another aspect of introducing the `super_prefixed` function is to consider who owns the memory and if this is the right place where the path gets modified. As the super prefix ought to change the output behavior only and not the actual unpack tree part, it is fine to be that late in the line. As we get passed in 'const char *path', we cannot change the path itself, which means in case of a super prefix we have to copy over the path. We need two static buffers in that function as the error messages contain at most two paths. For testing purposes enable it in read-tree, which has no output of paths other than an unpack-trees.c. These are all converted in this patch. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	8 years ago

Jeff King	46df6906f3	execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal death When you hit ^C to interrupt a git command going to a pager, this usually leaves the pager running. But when a dashed external is in use, the pager ends up in a funny state and quits (but only after eating one more character from the terminal!). This fixes it. Explaining the reason will require a little background. When git runs a pager, it's important for the git process to hang around and wait for the pager to finish, even though it has no more data to feed it. This is because git spawns the pager as a child, and thus the git process is the session leader on the terminal. After it dies, the pager will finish its current read from the terminal (eating the one character), and then get EIO trying to read again. When you hit ^C, that sends SIGINT to git and to the pager, and it's a similar situation. The pager ignores it, but the git process needs to hang around until the pager is done. We addressed that long ago in `a3da882120` (pager: do wait_for_pager on signal death, 2009-01-22). But when you have a dashed external (or an alias pointing to a builtin, which will re-exec git for the builtin), there's an extra process in the mix. For instance, running: $ git -c alias.l=log l will end up with a process tree like: git (parent) \ git-log (child) \ less (pager) If you hit ^C, SIGINT goes to all of them. The pager ignores it, and the child git process will end up in wait_for_pager(). But the parent git process will die, and the usual EIO trouble happens. So we really want the parent git process to wait_for_pager(), but of course it doesn't know anything about the pager at all, since it was started by the child. However, we can have it wait on the git-log child, which in turn is waiting on the pager. And that's what this patch does. There are a few design decisions here worth explaining: 1. The new feature is attached to run-command's clean_on_exit feature. Partly this is convenience, since that feature already has a signal handler that deals with child cleanup. But it's also a meaningful connection. The main reason that dashed externals use clean_on_exit is to bind the two processes together. If somebody kills the parent with a signal, we propagate that to the child (in this instance with SIGINT, we do propagate but it doesn't matter because the original signal went to the whole process group). Likewise, we do not want the parent to go away until the child has done so. In a traditional Unix world, we'd probably accomplish this binding by just having the parent execve() the child directly. But since that doesn't work on Windows, everything goes through run_command's more spawn-like interface. 2. We do _not_ automatically waitpid() on any clean_on_exit children. For dashed externals this makes sense; we know that the parent is doing nothing but waiting for the child to exit anyway. But with other children, it's possible that the child, after getting the signal, could be waiting on the parent to do something (like closing a descriptor). If we were to wait on such a child, we'd end up in a deadlock. So this errs on the side of caution, and lets callers enable the feature explicitly. 3. When we send children the cleanup signal, we send all the signals first, before waiting on any children. This is to avoid the case where one child might be waiting on another one to exit, causing a deadlock. We inform all of them that it's time to die before reaping any. In practice, there is only ever one dashed external run from a given process, so this doesn't matter much now. But it future-proofs us if other callers start using the wait_after_clean mechanism. There's no automated test here, because it would end up racy and unportable. But it's easy to reproduce the situation by running the log command given above and hitting ^C.

Jeff King	246f0edec0	execv_dashed_external: stop exiting with negative code When we try to exec a git sub-command, we pass along the status code from run_command(). But that may return -1 if we ran into an error with pipe() or execve(). This tends to work (and end up as 255 due to twos-complement wraparound and truncation), but in general it's probably a good idea to avoid negative exit codes for portability. We can easily translate to the normal generic "128" code we get when syscalls cause us to die. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	8 years ago
Jeff King	2b296c93d4	execv_dashed_external: use child_process struct When we run a dashed external, we use the one-liner run_command_v_opt() to do so. Let's switch to using a child_process struct, which has two advantages: 1. We can drop all of the allocation and cleanup code for building our custom argv array, and just rely on the builtin argv_array (at the minor cost of doing a few extra mallocs). 2. We have access to the complete range of child_process options, not just the ones that the "_opt()" form can forward.

Brandon Williams	0281e487fd	grep: optionally recurse into submodules Allow grep to recognize submodules and recursively search for patterns in each submodule. This is done by forking off a process to recursively call grep on each submodule. The top level --super-prefix option is used to pass a path to the submodule which can in turn be used to prepend to output or in pathspec matching logic. Recursion only occurs for submodules which have been initialized and checked out by the parent project. If a submodule hasn't been initialized and checked out it is simply skipped. In order to support the existing multi-threading infrastructure in grep, output from each child process is captured in a strbuf so that it can be later printed to the console in an ordered fashion. To limit the number of theads that are created, each child process has half the number of threads as its parents (minimum of 1), otherwise we potentailly have a fork-bomb.

Jeff King	6854a8f5c9	common-main: stop munging argv[0] path Since `650c44925` (common-main: call git_extract_argv0_path(), 2016-07-01), the argv[0] that is seen in cmd_main() of individual programs is always the basename of the executable, as common-main strips off the full path. This can produce confusing results for git-daemon, which wants to re-exec itself. For instance, if the program was originally run as "/usr/lib/git/git-daemon", it will try just re-execing "git-daemon", which will find the first instance in $PATH. If git's exec-path has not been prepended to $PATH, we may find the git-daemon from a different version (or no git-daemon at all). Normally this isn't a problem. Git commands are run as "git daemon", the git wrapper puts the exec-path at the front of $PATH, and argv[0] is already "daemon" anyway. But running git-daemon via its full exec-path, while not really a recommended method, did work prior to `650c44925`. Let's make it work again. The real goal of `650c44925` was not to munge argv[0], but to reliably set the argv0_path global. The only reason it munges at all is that one caller, the git.c wrapper, piggy-backed on that computation to find the command basename. Instead, let's leave argv[0] untouched in common-main, and have git.c do its own basename computation. While we're at it, let's drop the return value from git_extract_argv0_path(). It was only ever used in this one callsite, and its dual purposes is what led to this confusion in the first place. Note that by changing the interface, the compiler can confirm for us that there are no other callers storing the return value. But the compiler can't tell us whether any of the cmd_main() functions (besides git.c) were relying on the basename munging. However, we can observe that prior to `650c44925`, no other cmd_main() functions did that munging, and no new cmd_main() functions have been introduced since then. So we can't be regressing any of those cases. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	8 years ago

Jeff King	57f5d52a94	common-main: call sanitize_stdfds() This is setup that should be done in every program for safety, but we never got around to adding it everywhere (so builtins benefited from the call in git.c, but any external commands did not). Putting it in the common main() gives us this safety everywhere. Note that the case in daemon.c is a little funny. We wait until we know whether we want to daemonize, and then either: - call daemonize(), which will close stdio and reopen it to /dev/null under the hood - sanitize_stdfds(), to fix up any odd cases But that is way too late; the point of sanitizing is to give us reliable descriptors on 0/1/2, and we will already have executed code, possibly called die(), etc. The sanitizing should be the very first thing that happens. With this patch, git-daemon will sanitize first, and can remove the call in the non-daemonize case. It does mean that daemonize() may just end up closing the descriptors we opened, but that's not a big deal (it's not wrong to do so, nor is it really less optimal than the case where our parent process redirected us from /dev/null ahead of time).

Jeff King	650c449250	common-main: call git_extract_argv0_path() Every program which links against libgit.a must call this function, or risk hitting an assert() in system_path() that checks whether we have configured argv0_path (though only when RUNTIME_PREFIX is defined, so essentially only on Windows). Looking at the diff, you can see that putting it into the common main() saves us having to do it individually in each of the external commands. But what you can't see are the cases where we _should_ have been doing so, but weren't (e.g., git-credential-store, and all of the t/helper test programs). This has been an accident-waiting-to-happen for a long time, but wasn't triggered until recently because it involves one of those programs actually calling system_path(). That happened with git-credential-store in v2.8.0 with `ae5f677` (lazily load core.sharedrepository, 2016-03-11). The program: - takes a lock file, which... - opens a tempfile, which... - calls adjust_shared_perm to fix permissions, which... - lazy-loads the config (as of `ae5f677`), which... - calls system_path() to find the location of /etc/gitconfig On systems with RUNTIME_PREFIX, this means credential-store reliably hits that assert() and cannot be used. We never noticed in the test suite, because we set GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM there, which skips the system_path() lookup entirely. But if we were to tweak git_config() to find /etc/gitconfig even when we aren't going to open it, then the test suite shows multiple failures (for credential-store, and for some other test helpers). I didn't include that tweak here because it's way too specific to this particular call to be worth carrying around what is essentially dead code. The implementation is fairly straightforward, with one exception: there is exactly one caller (git.c) that actually cares about the result of the function, and not the side-effect of setting up argv0_path. We can accommodate that by simply replacing the value of argv[0] in the array we hand down to cmd_main().

Jeff King	3f2e2297b9	add an extra level of indirection to main() There are certain startup tasks that we expect every git process to do. In some cases this is just to improve the quality of the program (e.g., setting up gettext()). In others it is a requirement for using certain functions in libgit.a (e.g., system_path() expects that you have called git_extract_argv0_path()). Most commands are builtins and are covered by the git.c version of main(). However, there are still a few external commands that use their own main(). Each of these has to remember to include the correct startup sequence, and we are not always consistent. Rather than just fix the inconsistencies, let's make this harder to get wrong by providing a common main() that can run this standard startup. We basically have two options to do this: - the compat/mingw.h file already does something like this by adding a #define that replaces the definition of main with a wrapper that calls mingw_startup(). The upside is that the code in each program doesn't need to be changed at all; it's rewritten on the fly by the preprocessor. The downside is that it may make debugging of the startup sequence a bit more confusing, as the preprocessor is quietly inserting new code. - the builtin functions are all of the form cmd_foo(), and git.c's main() calls them. This is much more explicit, which may make things more obvious to somebody reading the code. It's also more flexible (because of course we have to figure out _which_ cmd_foo() to call). The downside is that each of the builtins must define cmd_foo(), instead of just main(). This patch chooses the latter option, preferring the more explicit approach, even though it is more invasive. We introduce a new file common-main.c, with the "real" main. It expects to call cmd_main() from whatever other objects it is linked against. We link common-main.o against anything that links against libgit.a, since we know that such programs will need to do this setup. Note that common-main.o can't actually go inside libgit.a, as the linker would not pick up its main() function automatically (it has no callers). The rest of the patch is just adjusting all of the various external programs (mostly in t/helper) to use cmd_main(). I've provided a global declaration for cmd_main(), which means that all of the programs also need to match its signature. In particular, many functions need to switch to "const char " instead of "char " for argv. This effect ripples out to a few other variables and functions, as well. This makes the patch even more invasive, but the end result is much better. We should be treating argv strings as const anyway, and now all programs conform to the same signature (which also matches the way builtins are defined).

Jeff King	46c3cd44d7	setup: make startup_info available everywhere Commit `a60645f` (setup: remember whether repository was found, 2010-08-05) introduced the startup_info structure, which records some parts of the setup_git_directory() process (notably, whether we actually found a repository or not). One of the uses of this data is for functions to behave appropriately based on whether we are in a repo. But the startup_info struct is just a pointer to storage provided by the main program, and the only program that sets it up is the git.c wrapper. Thus builtins have access to startup_info, but externally linked programs do not. Worse, library code which is accessible from both has to be careful about accessing startup_info. This can be used to trigger a die("BUG") via get_sha1(): $ git fast-import <<-\EOF tag foo from HEAD:./whatever EOF fatal: BUG: startup_info struct is not initialized. Obviously that's fairly nonsensical input to feed to fast-import, but we should never hit a die("BUG"). And there may be other ways to trigger it if other non-builtins resolve sha1s. So let's point the storage for startup_info to a static variable in setup.c, making it available to all users of the library code. We _could_ turn startup_info into a regular extern struct, but doing so would mean tweaking all of the existing use sites. So let's leave the pointer indirection in place. We can, however, drop any checks for NULL, as they will always be false (and likewise, we can drop the test covering this case, which was a rather artificial situation using one of the test-* programs).

Jeff King	850d2fec53	convert manual allocations to argv_array There are many manual argv allocations that predate the argv_array API. Switching to that API brings a few advantages: 1. We no longer have to manually compute the correct final array size (so it's one less thing we can screw up). 2. In many cases we had to make a separate pass to count, then allocate, then fill in the array. Now we can do it in one pass, making the code shorter and easier to follow. 3. argv_array handles memory ownership for us, making it more obvious when things should be free()d and and when not. Most of these cases are pretty straightforward. In some, we switch from "run_command_v" to "run_command" which lets us directly use the argv_array embedded in "struct child_process".

Junio C Hamano	441981bc85	git: simplify environment save/restore logic The only code that cares about the value of the global variable saved_env_before_alias after the previous fix is handle_builtin() that turns into a glorified no-op when the variable is true, so the logic could safely be lifted to its caller, i.e. the caller can refrain from calling it when the variable is set. This variable tells us if save_env_before_alias() was called (with or without matching restore_env()), but the sole caller of the function, handle_alias(), always calls it as the first thing, so we can consider that the variable essentially keeps track of the fact that handle_alias() has ever been called. It turns out that handle_builtin() and handle_alias() are called only from one function in a way that the value of the variable matters, which is run_argv(), and it already keeps track of the fact that it already called handle_alias(). So we can simplify the whole thing by: - Change handle_builtin() to always make a direct call to the builtin implementation it finds, and make sure the caller refrains from calling it if handle_alias() has ever been called; - Remove saved_env_before_alias variable, and instead use the local "done_alias" variable maintained inside run_argv() to make the same decision.

Junio C Hamano	9d1d2b7fad	git: remove an early return from save_env_before_alias() When help.autocorrect is in effect, an attempt to auto-execute an uniquely corrected result of a misspelt alias will result in an irrelevant error message. The codepath that causes this calls save_env_before_alias() and restore_env() in handle_alias(), and that happens twice. A global variable orig_cwd is allocated to hold the return value of getcwd() in save_env_before_alias(), which is then used in restore_env() to go back to that directory and finally free(3)'d there. However, save_env_before_alias() is not prepared to be called twice. It returns early when it knows it has already been called, leaving orig_cwd undefined, which is then checked in the second call to restore_env(), and by that time, the memory that used to hold the contents of orig_cwd is either freed or reused to hold something else, and this is fed to chdir(2), causing it to fail. Even if it did not fail (i.e. reading of the already free'd piece of memory yielded a directory path that we can chdir(2) to), it then gets free(3)'d. Fix this by making sure save_env() does do the saving when called. While at it, add a minimal test for help.autocorrect facility. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	9 years ago
Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy	57ea7123c8	git.c: make sure we do not leak GIT_* to alias scripts The unfortunate commit `d95138e` (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when work tree is set, like $GIT_DIR - 2015-06-26) exposes another problem, besides git-clone that's described in the previous commit. If GIT_WORK_TREE (or even GIT_DIR) is exported to an alias script, it may mislead git commands in the script where the repo is. Granted, most scripts work on the repo where the alias is summoned from. But nowhere do we forbid the script to visit another repository. The revert of `d95138e` in the previous commit is sufficient as a fix. However, to protect us from accidentally leaking GIT_* environment variables again, we restore certain sensitive env before calling the external script. GIT_PREFIX is let through because there's another setup side effect that we simply accepted so far: current working directory is moved. Maybe in future we can introduce a new alias format that guarantees no cwd move, then we can unexport GIT_PREFIX.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy	86d26f240f	setup.c: re-fix `d95138e` (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when .. Commit `d95138e` [1] attempted to fix a .git file problem by setting GIT_WORK_TREE whenever GIT_DIR is set. It sounded harmless because we handle GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE side by side for most commands, with two exceptions: git-init and git-clone. "git clone" is not happy with `d95138e`. This command ignores GIT_DIR but respects GIT_WORK_TREE [2] [3] which means it used to run fine from a hook, where GIT_DIR was set but GIT_WORK_TREE was not (). With `d95138e`, GIT_WORK_TREE is set all the time and git-clone interprets that as "I give you order to put the worktree here", usually against the user's intention. The solution in `d95138e` is reverted earlier, and instead we reuse the solution from `c056261` [4]. It fixed another setup-messed- up-by-alias by saving and restoring env and spawning a new process, but for git-clone and git-init only. Now we conclude that setup-messed-up-by-alias is always evil. So the env restoration is done for _all_ commands, including external ones, whenever aliases are involved. It fixes what `d95138e` tried to fix, without upsetting git-clone-inside-hooks. The test from `d95138e` remains to verify it's not broken by this. A new test is added to make sure git-clone-inside-hooks remains happy. () GIT_WORK_TREE was not set _most of the time_. In some cases GIT_WORK_TREE is set and git-clone will behave differently. The use of GIT_WORK_TREE to direct git-clone to put work tree elsewhere looks like a mistake because it causes surprises this way. But that's a separate story.

Stefan Beller	74703a1e4d	submodule: rewrite `module_list` shell function in C Most of the submodule operations work on a set of submodules. Calculating and using this set is usually done via: module_list "$@" \| { while read mode sha1 stage sm_path do # the actual operation done } Currently the function `module_list` is implemented in the git-submodule.sh as a shell script wrapping a perl script. The rewrite is in C, such that it is faster and can later be easily adapted when other functions are rewritten in C. git-submodule.sh, similar to the builtin commands, will navigate to the top-most directory of the repository and keep the subdirectory as a variable. As the helper is called from within the git-submodule.sh script, we are already navigated to the root level, but the path arguments are still relative to the subdirectory we were in when calling git-submodule.sh. That's why there is a `--prefix` option pointing to an alternative path which to anchor relative path arguments.

Paul Tan	73c2779f42	builtin-am: implement skeletal builtin am For the purpose of rewriting git-am.sh into a C builtin, implement a skeletal builtin/am.c that redirects to $GIT_EXEC_PATH/git-am if the environment variable _GIT_USE_BUILTIN_AM is not defined. Since in the Makefile git-am.sh takes precedence over builtin/am.c, $GIT_EXEC_PATH/git-am will contain the shell script git-am.sh, and thus this allows us to fall back on the functional git-am.sh when running the test suite for tests that depend on a working git-am implementation. Since git-am.sh cannot handle any environment modifications by setup_git_directory(), "am" is declared with no setup flags in git.c. On the other hand, to re-implement git-am.sh in builtin/am.c, we need to run all the git dir and work tree setup logic that git.c typically does for us. As such, we work around this temporarily by copying the logic in git.c's run_builtin(), which is roughly: prefix = setup_git_directory(); trace_repo_setup(prefix); setup_work_tree(); This redirection should be removed when all the features of git-am.sh have been re-implemented in builtin/am.c.
