Ronnie Sahlberg	7695d118e5	refs.c: change resolve_ref_unsafe reading argument to be a flags field resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref resolves successfully for writing but not for reading). Change this to be a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when we want this behaviour. While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output arguments at the end. As a nice side effect, this ensures that we can catch callers that were unaware of the new API so they can be audited. Give the wrapper functions resolve_refdup and read_ref_full the same treatment for consistency.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy	b790e0f67c	upload-pack: send shallow info over stdin to pack-objects Before `cdab485` (upload-pack: delegate rev walking in shallow fetch to pack-objects - 2013-08-16) upload-pack does not write to the source repository. `cdab485` starts to write $GIT_DIR/shallow_XXXXXX if it's a shallow fetch, so the source repo must be writable. git:// servers do not need write access to repos and usually don't have it, which means `cdab485` breaks shallow clone over git:// Instead of using a temporary file as the media for shallow points, we can send them over stdin to pack-objects as well.

Jeff King	0179c945fc	shallow: automatically clean up shallow tempfiles We sometimes write tempfiles of the form "shallow_XXXXXX" during fetch/push operations with shallow repositories. Under normal circumstances, we clean up the result when we are done. However, we do no take steps to clean up after ourselves when we exit due to die() or signal death. This patch teaches the tempfile creation code to register handlers to clean up after ourselves. To handle this, we change the ownership semantics of the filename returned by setup_temporary_shallow. It now keeps a copy of the filename itself, and returns only a const pointer to it. We can also do away with explicit tempfile removal in the callers. They all exit not long after finishing with the file, so they can rely on the auto-cleanup, simplifying the code. Note that we keep things simple and maintain only a single filename to be cleaned. This is sufficient for the current caller, but we future-proof it with a die("BUG"). Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	11 years ago

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy	ad491366de	make the sender advertise shallow commits to the receiver If either receive-pack or upload-pack is called on a shallow repository, shallow commits () will be sent after the ref advertisement (but before the packet flush), so that the receiver has the full "shape" of the sender's commit graph. This will be needed for the receiver to update its .git/shallow if necessary. This breaks the protocol for all clients trying to push to a shallow repo, or fetch from one. Which is basically the same end result as today's "is_repository_shallow() && die()" in receive-pack and upload-pack. New clients will be made aware of shallow upstream and can make use of this information. The sender must send all shallow commits that are sent in the following pack. It may send more shallow commits than necessary. upload-pack for example may choose to advertise no shallow commits if it knows in advance that the pack it's going to send contains no shallow commits. But upload-pack is the server, so we choose the cheaper way, send full .git/shallow and let the client deal with it. Smart HTTP is not affected by this patch. Shallow support on smart-http comes later separately. () A shallow commit is a commit that terminates the revision walker. It is usually put in .git/shallow in order to keep the revision walker from going out of bound because there is no guarantee that objects behind this commit is available.

Jeff King	115dedd722	upload-pack: bump keepalive default to 5 seconds There is no reason not to turn on keepalives by default. They take very little bandwidth, and significantly less than the progress reporting they are replacing. And in the case that progress reporting is on, we should never need to send a keepalive anyway, as we will constantly be showing progress and resetting the keepalive timer. We do not necessarily know what the client's idea of a reasonable timeout is, so let's keep this on the low side of 5 seconds. That is high enough that we will always prefer our normal 1-second progress reports to sending a keepalive packet, but low enough that no sane client should consider the connection hung.

Jeff King	05e95155a1	upload-pack: send keepalive packets during pack computation When upload-pack has started pack-objects, there may be a quiet period while pack-objects prepares the pack (i.e., counting objects and delta compression). Normally we would see (and send to the client) progress information, but if "--quiet" is in effect, pack-objects will produce nothing at all until the pack data is ready. On a large repository, this can take tens of seconds (or even minutes if the system is loaded or the repository is badly packed). Clients or intermediate proxies can sometimes give up in this situation, assuming that the server or connection has hung. This patch introduces a "keepalive" option; if upload-pack sees no data from pack-objects for a certain number of seconds, it will send an empty sideband data packet to let the other side know that we are still working on it.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy	cdab485853	upload-pack: delegate rev walking in shallow fetch to pack-objects upload-pack has a special revision walking code for shallow recipients. It works almost like the similar code in pack-objects except: 1. in upload-pack, graft points could be added for deepening; 2. also when the repository is deepened, the shallow point will be moved further away from the tip, but the old shallow point will be marked as edge to produce more efficient packs. See `6523078` (make shallow repository deepening more network efficient - 2009-09-03). Pass the file to pack-objects via --shallow-file. This will override $GIT_DIR/shallow and give pack-objects the exact repository shape that upload-pack has. mark edge commits by revision command arguments. Even if old shallow points are passed as "--not" revisions as in this patch, they will not be picked up by mark_edges_uninteresting() because this function looks up to parents for edges, while in this case the edge is the children, in the opposite direction. This will be fixed in an later patch when all given uninteresting commits are marked as edges.

Michael Heemskerk	af04fa2a78	upload-pack: ignore 'shallow' lines with unknown obj-ids When the client sends a 'shallow' line for an object that the server does not have, the server currently dies with the error: "did not find object for shallow <obj-id>". The client may have truncated the history at the commit by fetching shallowly from a different server, or the commit may have been garbage collected by the server. In either case, this unknown commit is not relevant for calculating the pack that is to be sent and can be safely ignored, and it is not used when recomputing where the updated history of the client is cauterised. The documentation in technical/pack-protocol.txt has been updated to remove the restriction that "Clients MUST NOT mention an obj-id which it does not know exists on the server". This requirement is not realistic because clients cannot know whether an object has been garbage collected by the server.

Jeff King	f59de5d1ff	upload-pack: load non-tip "want" objects from disk It is a long-time security feature that upload-pack will not serve any "want" lines that do not correspond to the tip of one of our refs. Traditionally, this was enforced by checking the objects in the in-memory hash; they should have been loaded and received the OUR_REF flag during the advertisement. The stateless-rpc mode, however, has a race condition here: one process advertises, and another receives the want lines, so the refs may have changed in the interim. To address this, commit `051e400` added a new verification mode; if the object is not OUR_REF, we set a "has_non_tip" flag, and then later verify that the requested objects are reachable from our current tips. However, we still die immediately when the object is not in our in-memory hash, and at this point we should only have loaded our tip objects. So the check_non_tip code path does not ever actually trigger, as any non-tip objects would have already caused us to die. We can fix that by using parse_object instead of lookup_object, which will load the object from disk if it has not already been loaded. We still need to check that parse_object does not return NULL, though, as it is possible we do not have the object at all. A more appropriate error message would be "no such object" rather than "not our ref"; however, we do not want to leak information about what objects are or are not in the object database, so we continue to use the same "not our ref" message that would be produced by an unreachable object.

Jeff King	06f15bf1f3	upload-pack: make sure "want" objects are parsed When upload-pack receives a "want" line from the client, it adds it to an object array. We call lookup_object to find the actual object, which will only check for objects already in memory. This works because we are expecting to find objects that we already loaded during the ref advertisement. We use the resulting object structs for a variety of purposes. Some of them care only about the object flags, but others care about the type of the object (e.g., ok_to_give_up), or even feed them to the revision parser (when --depth is used), which assumes that objects it receives are fully parsed. Once upon a time, this was OK; any object we loaded into memory would also have been parsed. But since `435c833` (upload-pack: use peel_ref for ref advertisements, 2012-10-04), we try to avoid parsing objects during the ref advertisement. This means that lookup_object may return an object with a type of OBJ_NONE. The resulting mess depends on the exact set of objects, but can include the revision parser barfing, or the shallow code sending the wrong set of objects. This patch teaches upload-pack to parse each "want" object as we receive it. We do not replace the lookup_object call with parse_object, as the current code is careful not to let just any object appear on a "want" line, but rather only one we have previously advertised (whereas parse_object would actually load any arbitrary object from disk).

Jeff King	a6eec12638	upload-pack: drop lookup-before-parse optimization When we receive a "have" line from the client, we want to load the object pointed to by the sha1. However, we are careful to do: o = lookup_object(sha1); if (!o \|\| !o->parsed) o = parse_object(sha1); to avoid loading the object from disk if we have already seen it. However, since `ccdc603` (parse_object: try internal cache before reading object db), parse_object already does this optimization internally. We can just call parse_object directly.

Jeff King	74543a0423	pkt-line: provide a LARGE_PACKET_MAX static buffer Most of the callers of packet_read_line just read into a static 1000-byte buffer (callers which handle arbitrary binary data already use LARGE_PACKET_MAX). This works fine in practice, because: 1. The only variable-sized data in these lines is a ref name, and refs tend to be a lot shorter than 1000 characters. 2. When sending ref lines, git-core always limits itself to 1000 byte packets. However, the only limit given in the protocol specification in Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt is LARGE_PACKET_MAX; the 1000 byte limit is mentioned only in pack-protocol.txt, and then only describing what we write, not as a specific limit for readers. This patch lets us bump the 1000-byte limit to LARGE_PACKET_MAX. Even though git-core will never write a packet where this makes a difference, there are two good reasons to do this: 1. Other git implementations may have followed protocol-common.txt and used a larger maximum size. We don't bump into it in practice because it would involve very long ref names. 2. We may want to increase the 1000-byte limit one day. Since packets are transferred before any capabilities, it's difficult to do this in a backwards-compatible way. But if we bump the size of buffer the readers can handle, eventually older versions of git will be obsolete enough that we can justify bumping the writers, as well. We don't have plans to do this anytime soon, but there is no reason not to start the clock ticking now. Just bumping all of the reading bufs to LARGE_PACKET_MAX would waste memory. Instead, since most readers just read into a temporary buffer anyway, let's provide a single static buffer that all callers can use. We can further wrap this detail away by having the packet_read_line wrapper just use the buffer transparently and return a pointer to the static storage. That covers most of the cases, and the remaining ones already read into their own LARGE_PACKET_MAX buffers.

Jeff King	819b929d33	pkt-line: teach packet_read_line to chomp newlines The packets sent during ref negotiation are all terminated by newline; even though the code to chomp these newlines is short, we end up doing it in a lot of places. This patch teaches packet_read_line to auto-chomp the trailing newline; this lets us get rid of a lot of inline chomping code. As a result, some call-sites which are not reading line-oriented data (e.g., when reading chunks of packfiles alongside sideband) transition away from packet_read_line to the generic packet_read interface. This patch converts all of the existing callsites. Since the function signature of packet_read_line does not change (but its behavior does), there is a possibility of new callsites being introduced in later commits, silently introducing an incompatibility. However, since a later patch in this series will change the signature, such a commit would have to be merged directly into this commit, not to the tip of the series; we can therefore ignore the issue. This is an internal cleanup and should produce no change of behavior in the normal case. However, there is one corner case to note. Callers of packet_read_line have never been able to tell the difference between a flush packet ("0000") and an empty packet ("0004"), as both cause packet_read_line to return a length of 0. Readers treat them identically, even though Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt says we must not; it also says that implementations should not send an empty pkt-line. By stripping out the newline before the result gets to the caller, we will now treat the newline-only packet ("0005\n") the same as an empty packet, which in turn gets treated like a flush packet. In practice this doesn't matter, as neither empty nor newline-only packets are part of git's protocols (at least not for the line-oriented bits, and readers who are not expecting line-oriented packets will be calling packet_read directly, anyway). But even if we do decide to care about the distinction later, it is orthogonal to this patch. The right place to tighten would be to stop treating empty packets as flush packets, and this change does not make doing so any harder.

Jeff King	e58e57e49e	upload-pack: do not add duplicate objects to shallow list When the client tells us it has a shallow object via "shallow <sha1>", we make sure we have the object, mark it with a flag, then add it to a dynamic array of shallow objects. This means that a client can get us to allocate arbitrary amounts of memory just by flooding us with shallow lines (whether they have the objects or not). You can demonstrate it easily with: yes '0035shallow e83c5163316f89bfbde7d9ab23ca2e25604af290' \| git-upload-pack git.git We already protect against duplicates in want lines by checking if our flag is already set; let's do the same thing here. Note that a client can still get us to allocate some amount of memory by marking every object in the repo as "shallow" (or "want").

Jeff King	b7b021701c	upload-pack: use get_sha1_hex to parse "shallow" lines When we receive a line like "shallow <sha1>" from the client, we feed the <sha1> part to get_sha1. This is a mistake, as the argument on a shallow line is defined by Documentation/technical/pack-protocol.txt to contain an "obj-id". This is never defined in the BNF, but it is clear from the text and from the other uses that it is meant to be a hex sha1, not an arbitrary identifier (and that is what fetch-pack has always sent). We should be using get_sha1_hex instead, which doesn't allow the client to request arbitrary junk like "HEAD@{yesterday}". Because this is just marking shallow objects, the client couldn't actually do anything interesting (like fetching objects from unreachable reflog entries), but we should keep our parsing tight to be on the safe side. Because get_sha1 is for the most part a superset of get_sha1_hex, in theory the only behavior change should be disallowing non-hex object references. However, there is one interesting exception: get_sha1 will only parse a 40-character hex sha1 if the string has exactly 40 characters, whereas get_sha1_hex will just eat the first 40 characters, leaving the rest. That means that current versions of git-upload-pack will not accept a "shallow" packet that has a trailing newline, even though the protocol documentation is clear that newlines are allowed (even encouraged) in non-binary parts of the protocol. This never mattered in practice, though, because fetch-pack, contrary to the protocol documentation, does not include a newline in its shallow lines. JGit follows its lead (though it correctly is strict on the parsing end about wanting a hex object id). We do not adjust fetch-pack to send newlines here, as it would break communication with older versions of git (and there is no actual benefit to doing so, except for consistency with other parts of the protocol).

Junio C Hamano	daebaa7813	upload/receive-pack: allow hiding ref hierarchies A repository may have refs that are only used for its internal bookkeeping purposes that should not be exposed to the others that come over the network. Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from its initial advertisement by paying attention to the uploadpack.hiderefs multi-valued configuration variable. Do the same to receive-pack via the receive.hiderefs variable. As a convenient short-hand, allow using transfer.hiderefs to set the value to both of these variables. Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value of these variable is excluded from responses to requests made by "ls-remote", "fetch", etc. (for upload-pack) and "push" (for receive-pack). Because these hidden refs do not count as OUR_REF, an attempt to fetch objects at the tip of them will be rejected, and because these refs do not get advertised, "git push :" will not see local branches that have the same name as them as "matching" ones to be sent. An attempt to update/delete these hidden refs with an explicit refspec, e.g. "git push origin :refs/hidden/22", is rejected. This is not a new restriction. To the pusher, it would appear that there is no such ref, so its push request will conclude with "Now that I sent you all the data, it is time for you to update the refs. I saw that the ref did not exist when I started pushing, and I want the result to point at this commit". The receiving end will apply the compare-and-swap rule to this request and rejects the push with "Well, your update request conflicts with somebody else; I see there is such a ref.", which is the right thing to do. Otherwise a push to a hidden ref will always be "the last one wins", which is not a good default. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	12 years ago
Junio C Hamano	3f1da57fff	upload-pack: simplify request validation Long time ago, we used to punt on a large (read: asking for more than 256 refs) fetch request and instead sent a full pack, because we couldn't fit many refs on the command line of rev-list we run internally to enumerate the objects to be sent. To fix this, `565ebbf` (upload-pack: tighten request validation., 2005-10-24), added a check to count the number of refs in the request and matched with the number of refs we advertised, and changed the invocation of rev-list to pass "--all" to it, still keeping us under the command line argument limit. However, these days we feed the list of objects requested and the list of objects the other end is known to have via standard input, so there is no longer a valid reason to special case a full clone request.

Junio C Hamano	cbbe50db76	upload-pack: share more code We mark the objects pointed at our refs with "OUR_REF" flag in two functions (mark_our_ref() and send_ref()), but we can just use the former as a helper for the latter. Update the way mark_our_ref() prepares in-core object to use lookup_unknown_object() to delay reading the actual object data, just like we did in `435c833` (upload-pack: use peel_ref for ref advertisements, 2012-10-04).

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy	4dcb167fc3	fetch: add --unshallow for turning shallow repo into complete one The user can do --depth=2147483647 () for restoring complete repo now. But it's hard to remember. Any other numbers larger than the longest commit chain in the repository would also do, but some guessing may be involved. Make easy-to-remember --unshallow an alias for --depth=2147483647. Make upload-pack recognize this special number as infinite depth. The effect is essentially the same as before, except that upload-pack is more efficient because it does not have to traverse to the bottom anymore. The chance of a user actually wanting exactly 2147483647 commits depth, not infinite, on a repository with a history that long, is probably too small to consider. The client can learn to add or subtract one commit to avoid the special treatment when that actually happens. () This is the largest positive number a 32-bit signed integer can contain. JGit and older C Git store depth as "int" so both are OK with this number. Dulwich does not support shallow clone.

Jeff King	435c833237	upload-pack: use peel_ref for ref advertisements When upload-pack advertises refs, we attempt to peel tags and advertise the peeled version. We currently hand-roll the tag dereferencing, and use as many optimizations as we can to avoid loading non-tag objects into memory. Not only has peel_ref recently learned these optimizations, too, but it also contains an even more important one: it has access to the "peeled" data from the pack-refs file. That means we can avoid not only loading annotated tags entirely, but also avoid doing any kind of object lookup at all. This cut the CPU time to advertise refs by 50% in the linux-2.6 repo, as measured by: echo 0000 \| git-upload-pack . >/dev/null best-of-five, warm cache, objects and refs fully packed: [before] [after] real 0m0.026s real 0m0.013s user 0m0.024s user 0m0.008s sys 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s Those numbers are irrelevantly small compared to an actual fetch. Here's a larger repo (400K refs, of which 12K are unique, and of which only 107 are unique annotated tags): [before] [after] real 0m0.704s real 0m0.596s user 0m0.600s user 0m0.496s sys 0m0.096s sys 0m0.092s This shows only a 15% speedup (mostly because it has fewer actual tags to parse), but a larger absolute value (100ms, which isn't a lot compared to a real fetch, but this advertisement happens on every fetch, even if the client is just finding out they are completely up to date). In truly pathological cases, where you have a large number of unique annotated tags, it can make an even bigger difference. Here are the numbers for a linux-2.6 repository that has had every seventh commit tagged (so about 50K tags): [before] [after] real 0m0.443s real 0m0.097s user 0m0.416s user 0m0.080s sys 0m0.024s sys 0m0.012s Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	13 years ago
Jeff King	ff5effdf45	include agent identifier in capability string Instead of having the client advertise a particular version number in the git protocol, we have managed extensions and backwards compatibility by having clients and servers advertise capabilities that they support. This is far more robust than having each side consult a table of known versions, and provides sufficient information for the protocol interaction to complete. However, it does not allow servers to keep statistics on which client versions are being used. This information is not necessary to complete the network request (the capabilities provide enough information for that), but it may be helpful to conduct a general survey of client versions in use. We already send the client version in the user-agent header for http requests; adding it here allows us to gather similar statistics for non-http requests.

Junio C Hamano	f47182c852	server_supports(): parse feature list more carefully We have been carefully choosing feature names used in the protocol extensions so that the vocabulary does not contain a word that is a substring of another word, so it is not a real problem, but we have recently added "quiet" feature word, which would mean we cannot later add some other word with "quiet" (e.g. "quiet-push"), which is awkward. Let's make sure that we can eventually be able to do so by teaching the clients and servers that feature words consist of non whitespace letters. This parser also allows us to later add features with parameters e.g. "feature=1.5" (parameter values need to be quoted for whitespaces, but we will worry about the detauls when we do introduce them).

Jeff King	90108a2441	upload-pack: avoid parsing tag destinations When upload-pack advertises refs, it dereferences any tags it sees, and shows the resulting sha1 to the client. It does this by calling deref_tag. That function must load and parse each tag object to find the sha1 of the tagged object. However, it also ends up parsing the tagged object itself, which is not strictly necessary for upload-pack's use. Each tag produces two object loads (assuming it is not a recursive tag), when it could get away with only a single one. Dropping the second load halves the effort we spend. The downside is that we are no longer verifying the resulting object by loading it. In particular: 1. We never cross-check the "type" field given in the tag object with the type of the pointed-to object. If the tag says it points to a tag but doesn't, then we will keep peeling and realize the error. If the tag says it points to a non-tag but actually points to a tag, we will stop peeling and just advertise the pointed-to tag. 2. If we are missing the pointed-to object, we will not realize (because we never even look it up in the object db). However, both of these are errors in the object database, and both will be detected if a client actually requests the broken objects in question. So we are simply pushing the verification away from the advertising stage, and down to the actual fetching stage. On my test repo with 120K refs, this drops the time to advertise the refs from ~3.2s to ~2.0s. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	13 years ago
Jeff King	926f1dd954	upload-pack: avoid parsing objects during ref advertisement When we advertise a ref, the first thing we do is parse the pointed-to object. This gives us two things: 1. a "struct object" we can use to store flags 2. the type of the object, so we know whether we need to dereference it as a tag Instead, we can just use lookup_unknown_object to get an object struct, and then fill in just the type field using sha1_object_info (which, in the case of packed files, can find the information without actually inflating the object data). This can save time if you have a large number of refs, and the client isn't actually going to request those refs (e.g., because most of them are already up-to-date). The downside is that we are no longer verifying objects that we advertise by fully parsing them (however, we do still know we actually have them, because sha1_object_info must find them to get the type). While we might fail to detect a corrupt object here, if the client actually fetches the object, we will parse (and verify) it then. On a repository with 120K refs, the advertisement portion of upload-pack goes from ~3.4s to 3.2s (the failure to speed up more is largely due to the fact that most of these refs are tags, which need dereferenced to find the tag destination anyway).

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason	5e9637c629	i18n: add infrastructure for translating Git with gettext Change the skeleton implementation of i18n in Git to one that can show localized strings to users for our C, Shell and Perl programs using either GNU libintl or the Solaris gettext implementation. This new internationalization support is enabled by default. If gettext isn't available, or if Git is compiled with NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease, Git falls back on its current behavior of showing interface messages in English. When using the autoconf script we'll auto-detect if the gettext libraries are installed and act appropriately. This change is somewhat large because as well as adding a C, Shell and Perl i18n interface we're adding a lot of tests for them, and for those tests to work we need a skeleton PO file to actually test translations. A minimal Icelandic translation is included for this purpose. Icelandic includes multi-byte characters which makes it easy to test various edge cases, and it's a language I happen to understand. The rest of the commit message goes into detail about various sub-parts of this commit. = Installation Gettext .mo files will be installed and looked for in the standard $(prefix)/share/locale path. GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR can also be set to override that, but that's only intended to be used to test Git itself. = Perl Perl code that's to be localized should use the new Git::I18n module. It imports a __ function into the caller's package by default. Instead of using the high level Locale::TextDomain interface I've opted to use the low-level (equivalent to the C interface) Locale::Messages module, which Locale::TextDomain itself uses. Locale::TextDomain does a lot of redundant work we don't need, and some of it would potentially introduce bugs. It tries to set the $TEXTDOMAIN based on package of the caller, and has its own hardcoded paths where it'll search for messages. I found it easier just to completely avoid it rather than try to circumvent its behavior. In any case, this is an issue wholly internal Git::I18N. Its guts can be changed later if that's deemed necessary. See <AANLkTilYD_NyIZMyj9dHtVk-ylVBfvyxpCC7982LWnVd@mail.gmail.com> for a further elaboration on this topic. = Shell Shell code that's to be localized should use the git-sh-i18n library. It's basically just a wrapper for the system's gettext.sh. If gettext.sh isn't available we'll fall back on gettext(1) if it's available. The latter is available without the former on Solaris, which has its own non-GNU gettext implementation. We also need to emulate eval_gettext() there. If neither are present we'll use a dumb printf(1) fall-through wrapper. = About libcharset.h and langinfo.h We use libcharset to query the character set of the current locale if it's available. I.e. we'll use it instead of nl_langinfo if HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H is set. The GNU gettext manual recommends using langinfo.h's nl_langinfo(CODESET) to acquire the current character set, but on systems that have libcharset.h's locale_charset() using the latter is either saner, or the only option on those systems. GNU and Solaris have a nl_langinfo(CODESET), FreeBSD can use either, but MinGW and some others need to use libcharset.h's locale_charset() instead. =Credits This patch is based on work by Jeff Epler <jepler@unpythonic.net> who did the initial Makefile / C work, and a lot of comments from the Git mailing list, including Jonathan Nieder, Jakub Narebski, Johannes Sixt, Erik Faye-Lund, Peter Krefting, Junio C Hamano, Thomas Rast and others.

Junio C Hamano	051e4005a3	helping smart-http/stateless-rpc fetch race A request to fetch from a client over smart HTTP protocol is served in multiple steps. In the first round, the server side shows the set of refs it has and their values, and the client picks from them and sends "I want to fetch the history leading to these commits". When the server tries to respond to this second request, its refs may have progressed by a push from elsewhere. By design, we do not allow fetching objects that are not at the tip of an advertised ref, and the server rejects such a request. The client needs to try again, which is not ideal especially for a busy server. Teach upload-pack (which is the workhorse driven by git-daemon and smart http server interface) that it is OK for a smart-http client to ask for commits that are not at the tip of any advertised ref, as long as they are reachable from advertised refs.

Josh Triplett	6b01ecfe22	ref namespaces: Support remote repositories via upload-pack and receive-pack Change upload-pack and receive-pack to use the namespace-prefixed refs when working with the repository, and use the unprefixed refs when talking to the client, maintaining the masquerade. This allows clone, pull, fetch, and push to work with a suitably configured GIT_NAMESPACE. receive-pack advertises refs outside the current namespace as .have refs (as it currently does for refs in alternates), so that the client can use them to minimize data transfer but will otherwise ignore them. With appropriate configuration, this also allows http-backend to expose namespaces as multiple repositories with different paths. This only requires setting GIT_NAMESPACE, which http-backend passes through to upload-pack and receive-pack.

Jeff King	b961219779	upload-pack: start pack-objects before async rev-list In a pthread-enabled version of upload-pack, there's a race condition that can cause a deadlock on the fflush(NULL) we call from run-command. What happens is this: 1. Upload-pack is informed we are doing a shallow clone. 2. We call start_async() to spawn a thread that will generate rev-list results to feed to pack-objects. It gets a file descriptor to a pipe which will eventually hook to pack-objects. 3. The rev-list thread uses fdopen to create a new output stream around the fd we gave it, called pack_pipe. 4. The thread writes results to pack_pipe. Outside of our control, libc is doing locking on the stream. We keep writing until the OS pipe buffer is full, and then we block in write(), still holding the lock. 5. The main thread now uses start_command to spawn pack-objects. Before forking, it calls fflush(NULL) to flush every stdio output buffer. It blocks trying to get the lock on pack_pipe. And we have a deadlock. The thread will block until somebody starts reading from the pipe. But nobody will read from the pipe until we finish flushing to the pipe. To fix this, we swap the start order: we start the pack-objects reader first, and then the rev-list writer after. Thus the problematic fflush(NULL) happens before we even open the new file descriptor (and even if it didn't, flushing should no longer block, as the reader at the end of the pipe is now active).
