![]() `uploadpack.packObjectsHook` is the only 'protected configuration only' variable today, but we've noted that `safe.directory` and the upcoming `safe.bareRepository` should also be 'protected configuration only'. So, for consistency, we'd like to have a single implementation for protected configuration. The primary constraints are: 1. Reading from protected configuration should be fast. Nearly all "git" commands inside a bare repository will read both `safe.directory` and `safe.bareRepository`, so we cannot afford to be slow. 2. Protected configuration must be readable when the gitdir is not known. `safe.directory` and `safe.bareRepository` both affect repository discovery and the gitdir is not known at that point [1]. The chosen implementation in this commit is to read protected configuration and cache the values in a global configset. This is similar to the caching behavior we get with the_repository->config. Introduce git_protected_config(), which reads protected configuration and caches them in the global configset protected_config. Then, refactor `uploadpack.packObjectsHook` to use git_protected_config(). The protected configuration functions are named similarly to their non-protected counterparts, e.g. git_protected_config_check_init() vs git_config_check_init(). In light of constraint 1, this implementation can still be improved. git_protected_config() iterates through every variable in protected_config, which is wasteful, but it makes the conversion simple because it matches existing patterns. We will likely implement constant time lookup functions for protected configuration in a future series (such functions already exist for non-protected configuration, i.e. repo_config_get_*()). An alternative that avoids introducing another configset is to continue to read all config using git_config(), but only accept values that have the correct config scope [2]. This technically fulfills constraint 2, because git_config() simply ignores the local and worktree config when the gitdir is not known. However, this would read incomplete config into the_repository->config, which would need to be reset when the gitdir is known and git_config() needs to read the local and worktree config. Resetting the_repository->config might be reasonable while we only have these 'protected configuration only' variables, but it's not clear whether this extends well to future variables. [1] In this case, we do have a candidate gitdir though, so with a little refactoring, it might be possible to provide a gitdir. [2] This is how `uploadpack.packObjectsHook` was implemented prior to this commit. Signed-off-by: Glen Choo <chooglen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> |

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt
for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial
or git help tutorial
, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname>
or git help <commandname>
.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration
or git help cvs-migration
if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po
file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
