The framework to create lockfiles that are removed at exit is
first used to reliably write the index file, but it is

The earlier "git reset --hard" simplification stopped removing
leftover working tree files from a failed automerge, when
switching back to the HEAD version that does not have the
paths.
This patch, instead of removing the unmerged paths from the
index, drops them down to stage#0 but marks them with mode=0
(the same "to be deleted" marker we internally use for paths
deleted by the merge). one_way_merge() function and the
functions it calls already know what to do with them -- if the
tree we are reading has the path the working tree file is
overwritten, and if it doesn't the working tree file is
removed.

This adds a "tree_entry()" function that combines the common operation of
doing a "tree_entry_extract()" + "update_tree_entry()".
It also has a simplified calling convention, designed for simple loops
that traverse over a whole tree: the arguments are pointers to the tree
descriptor and a name_entry structure to fill in, and it returns a boolean
"true" if there was an entry left to be gotten in the tree.
This allows tree traversal with
struct tree_desc desc;
struct name_entry entry;
desc.buf = tree->buffer;
desc.size = tree->size;
while (tree_entry(&desc, &entry) {
... use "entry.{path, sha1, mode, pathlen}" ...
}
which is not only shorter than writing it out in full, it's hopefully less
error prone too.
[ It's actually a tad faster too - we don't need to recalculate the entry
pathlength in both extract and update, but need to do it only once.
Also, some callers can avoid doing a "strlen()" on the result, since
it's returned as part of the name_entry structure.
However, by now we're talking just 1% speedup on "git-rev-list --objects
--all", and we're definitely at the point where tree walking is no
longer the issue any more. ]
NOTE! Not everybody wants to use this new helper function, since some of
the tree walkers very much on purpose do the descriptor update separately
from the entry extraction. So the "extract + update" sequence still
remains as the core sequence, this is just a simplified interface.
We should probably add a silly two-line inline helper function for
initializing the descriptor from the "struct tree" too, just to cut down
on the noise from that common "desc" initializer.

Instead, just use the tree buffer directly, and use the tree-walk
infrastructure to walk the buffers instead of the tree-entry list.
The tree-entry list is inefficient, and generates tons of small
allocations for no good reason. The tree-walk infrastructure is
generally no harder to use than following a linked list, and allows
us to do most tree parsing in-place.

The "-u" flag means "update the working tree files", but to
other types of merges, it also implies "I want to keep my local
changes" -- because they prevent local changes from getting lost
by using verify_uptodate. The one-way merge is different from
other merges in that its purpose is opposite of doing something
else while keeping unrelated local changes. The point of
one-way merge is to nuke local changes. So while it feels
somewhat wrong that this actively loses local changes, it is the
right thing to do.

For some random reason (probably just because nobody noticed), the one-way
merge strategy didn't mark deleted files as deleted, so if you used
git-read-tree -m -u <newtree>
it would update the files that got changed in the index, but it would not
delete the files that got deleted.
This should fix it, and I can't imagine that anybody depends on the old

With "--prefix=<path>/" option, read-tree keeps the current
index contents, and reads the contents of named tree-ish under
directory at `<prefix>`. The original index file cannot have
anything at the path `<prefix>` itself, and have nothing in

This teaches read-tree to fully populate valid cache-tree when
reading a tree from scratch, or reading a single tree into an
existing index, reusing only the cached stat information (i.e.
one-way merge). We have already taught update-index about cache-tree,
so "git checkout" followed by updates to a few path followed by
a "git commit" would become very efficient.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
This teaches one-way and two-way "read-tree -m" (and its special
form, "read-tree --reset" as well) not to discard cache-tree but
invalidate only the changed parts of the tree. When switching
between related branches, this helps the eventual commit
(i.e. write-tree) by keeping cache-tree valid as much as
possible.
This does not prime cache-tree yet, but we ought to be able to
do that for no-merge (i.e. reading from a tree object) case and,
and also perhaps 1 way merge case.
With this patch applied, switching between the tip of Linux 2.6
kernel tree and a branch that touches one path (fs/ext3/Makefile)
from it invalidates only 3 paths out of 1201 cache-tree entries
in the index, and subsequent write-tree takes about a half as
much time as before.

move the fputc after disabling SIGALRM to ensure we go to the

Also add a NO_SA_RESTART option in the Makefile in case someone
doesn't have SA_RESTART but does restart (maybe older HP/UX?).
We want the builder to chose this specifically in case the
system both lacks SA_RESTART and does not restart stdio calls;

This adds "assume unchanged" logic, started by this message in the list
discussion recently:
<Pine.LNX.4.64.0601311807470.7301@g5.osdl.org>
This is a workaround for filesystems that do not have lstat()
that is quick enough for the index mechanism to take advantage
of. On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user
needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name
to be in the next commit.
You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the
CE_VALID bit:
git-update-index --assume-unchanged path...
git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path...
These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change
the object name recorded in the index file. Nor they add a new
entry to the index.
When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set,
the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically
after:
- update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the
index file.
- when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date.
- when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working
tree file and register the current object name to the index file.
The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index
entry. This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings.
Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be
unchanged most of the time. However, there are cases that
CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability:
- while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure
that the paths involved in the merge do not have local
modifications. This sacrifices performance for safety.
- when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs
to checkout the paths. Otherwise you can never check
anything out ;-).
- when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to
see if the index entry is up to date. You can start with
everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop
CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified.
Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does
not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working
tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the
index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index
--no-assume-unchanged path".
This version is not expected to be perfect. I think diff
between index and/or tree and working files may need some
adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should
automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID.
But the basics seem to work, and ready to be tested by people
who asked for this feature.
