Junio C Hamano	5f73076c1a	"Assume unchanged" git 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. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago
Junio C Hamano	75a46f6b0e	write-tree: check extra arguments and die but be a bit more helpful. "git-write-tree junk" complains and dies, but it does not say what option it supports. Die with the usage string in such a case. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago

Petr Baudis	c899350e9d	write-tree is now willing to write empty tree Cogito wants to be able to do some initial commit at the time of cg-init, which may be empty in case when cg-init is called in an empty tree.	20 years ago
Junio C Hamano	8eef4d3ed1	Notice index that has path and path/file and refuse to write such a tree. Kay Sievers noticed that you can have both path and path/file in the cache and write-tree happily creates a tree object from such a state. Since a merge can result in such situation and the user should be able to see the situation by looking at the cache, rather than forbidding add_cache_entry() to create such conflicts, fix it by making write-tree refuse to write such an nonsensical tree. Here is a test case. -- test case -- $ ls -a ./ ../ $ git-init-db defaulting to local storage area $ date >path $ git-update-cache --add path $ rm path $ mkdir path $ date >path/file $ git-update-cache --add path/file $ git-ls-files --stage 100644 1738f2536b1201218c41153941da065cc26174c9 0 path 100644 620c72f1c1de15f56ff9d63d6d7cdc69e828f1e3 0 path/file $ git-ls-tree $(git-write-tree) ;# using old one 100644 blob 1738f2536b1201218c41153941da065cc26174c9 path 040000 tree ec116937f223e3df95aeac9f076902ae1618ae98 path $ ../git-write-tree ;# using new one You have both path and path/file fatal: write-tree: not able to write tree $ exit Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	20 years ago

Linus Torvalds	a44c9a5e2e	Simplify "write_sha1_file()" interfaces The write function now adds the header to the file by itself, so there is no reason to duplicate it among all the users any more.	20 years ago
Brad Roberts	7223a88ce7	[PATCH] fix for memory leak in write-tree.c Fix a memory leak in write-tree.c, not freeing the directory buffer.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	c347ea5d6f	write-tree: refuse to write out trees with unmerged index entries. Of course, we can't even generate such an index yet, but give me some time. This is a cunning plan. Let's see if it actually works. (I feel like Wile E Coyote, waiting for the big rock to fall).	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	ccc4feb579	Convert the index file reading/writing to use network byte order. This allows using a git tree over NFS with different byte order, and makes it possible to just copy a fully populated repository and have the end result immediately usable (needing just a refresh to update the stat information).	20 years ago
Petr Baudis	2de381f919	[PATCH] Consolidate the error handling Now there is error() for "library" errors and die() for fatal "application" errors. usage() is now used strictly only for usage errors. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@ucw.cz>	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	121481abf8	Make "update-cache" a bit friendlier to use (and harder to mis-use). It now requires the "--add" flag before you add any new files, and a "--remove" file if you want to mark files for removal. And giving it the "--refresh" flag makes it just update all the files that it already knows about.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	d6d3f9d012	This implements the new "recursive tree" write-tree. It's got some debugging printouts etc still in it, but testing on the kernel seems to show that it does indeed fix the issue with huge tree files for each commit.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	19b2860cba	Use "-Wall -O2" for the compiler to get more warnings. And fix up the warnings that it pointed out. Let's keep the tree clean from early on. Not that the code is very beautiful anyway ;)	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	8bc9a0c769	Add copyright notices. The tool interface sucks (especially "committing" information, which is just me doing everything by hand from the command line), but I think this is in theory actually a viable way of describing the world. So copyright it.	20 years ago
