2020-08-18fetch-pack: do not lazy-fetch during ref iterationJonathan Tan2-34/+63
In order to determine negotiation tips, "fetch-pack" iterates over all refs and dereferences all annotated tags found. This causes the existence of targets of refs and annotated tags to be checked. Avoiding this is especially important when we use "git fetch" (which invokes "fetch-pack") to perform lazy fetches in a partial clone because a target of such a ref or annotated tag may need to be itself lazy-fetched (and otherwise causing an infinite loop). Therefore, teach "fetch-pack" not to lazy fetch whenever iterating over refs. This is done by using the raw form of ref iteration and by dereferencing tags ourselves.

2020-08-18fetch: only populate existing_refs if neededJonathan Tan1-4/+9
In "fetch", get_ref_map() iterates over all refs to populate "existing_refs" in order to populate peer_ref->old_oid in the returned refmap, even if the refmap has no peer_ref set - which is the case when only literal hashes (i.e. no refs by name) are fetched. Iterating over refs causes the targets of those refs to be checked for existence. Avoiding this is especially important when we use "git fetch" to perform lazy fetches in a partial clone because a target of such a ref may need to be itself lazy-fetched (and otherwise causing an infinite loop). Therefore, avoid populating "existing_refs" until necessary. With this patch, because Git lazy-fetches objects by literal hashes (to be done in a subsequent commit), it will then be able to guarantee avoiding reading targets of refs.

2020-08-18fetch: avoid reading submodule config until neededJonathan Tan2-4/+14
In "fetch", there are two parameters submodule_fetch_jobs_config and recurse_submodules that can be set in a variety of ways: through .gitmodules, through .git/config, and through the command line. Currently "fetch" handles this by first reading .gitmodules, then reading .git/config (allowing it to overwrite existing values), then reading the command line (allowing it to overwrite existing values). Notice that we can avoid reading .gitmodules if .git/config and/or the command line already provides us with what we need. In addition, if recurse_submodules is found to be "no", we do not need the value of submodule_fetch_jobs_config. Avoiding reading .gitmodules is especially important when we use "git fetch" to perform lazy fetches in a partial clone because the .gitmodules file itself might need to be lazy fetched (and otherwise causing an infinite loop). In light of all this, avoid reading .gitmodules until necessary. When reading it, we may only need one of the two parameters it provides, so teach fetch_config_from_gitmodules() to support NULL arguments. With this patch, users (including Git itself when invoking "git fetch" to lazy-fetch) will be able to guarantee avoiding reading .gitmodules by passing --recurse-submodules=no.

2020-08-18fetch: optionally allow disabling FETCH_HEAD updateJunio C Hamano4-5/+41
If you run fetch but record the result in remote-tracking branches, and either if you do nothing with the fetched refs (e.g. you are merely mirroring) or if you always work from the remote-tracking refs (e.g. you fetch and then merge origin/branchname separately), you can get away with having no FETCH_HEAD at all. Teach "git fetch" a command line option "--[no-]write-fetch-head". The default is to write FETCH_HEAD, and the option is primarily meant to be used with the "--no-" prefix to override this default, because there is no matching fetch.writeFetchHEAD configuration variable to flip the default to off (in which case, the positive form may become necessary to defeat it). Note that under "--dry-run" mode, FETCH_HEAD is never written; otherwise you'd see list of objects in the file that you do not actually have. Passing `--write-fetch-head` does not force `git fetch` to write the file. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2020-08-18mem-pool: use more standard initialization and finalizationElijah Newren4-23/+23
A typical memory type, such as strbuf, hashmap, or string_list can be stored on the stack or embedded within another structure. mem_pool cannot be, because of how mem_pool_init() and mem_pool_discard() are written. mem_pool_init() does essentially the following (simplified for purposes of explanation here): void mem_pool_init(struct mem_pool **pool...) { *pool = xcalloc(1, sizeof(*pool)); It seems weird to require that mem_pools can only be accessed through a pointer. It also seems slightly dangerous: unlike strbuf_release() or strbuf_reset() or string_list_clear(), all of which put the data structure into a state where it can be re-used after the call, mem_pool_discard(pool) will leave pool pointing at free'd memory. read-cache (and split-index) are the only current users of mem_pools, and they haven't fallen into a use-after-free mistake here, but it seems likely to be problematic for future users especially since several of the current callers of mem_pool_init() will only call it when the mem_pool* is not already allocated (i.e. is NULL). This type of mechanism also prevents finding synchronization points where one can free existing memory and then resume more operations. It would be natural at such points to run something like mem_pool_discard(pool...); and, if necessary, mem_pool_init(&pool...); and then carry on continuing to use the pool. However, this fails badly if several objects had a copy of the value of pool from before these commands; in such a case, those objects won't get the updated value of pool that mem_pool_init() overwrites pool with and they'll all instead be reading and writing from free'd memory. Modify mem_pool_init()/mem_pool_discard() to behave more like strbuf_init()/strbuf_release() or string_list_init()/string_list_clear() In particular: (1) make mem_pool_init() just take a mem_pool* and have it only worry about allocating struct mp_blocks, not the struct mem_pool itself, (2) make mem_pool_discard() free the memory that the pool was responsible for, but leave it in a state where it can be used to allocate more memory afterward (without the need to call mem_pool_init() again).

2020-08-17multi-pack-index: use hash version byteDerrick Stolee4-13/+80
Similar to the commit-graph format, the multi-pack-index format has a byte in the header intended to track the hash version used to write the file. This allows one to interpret the hash length without having the context of the repository config specifying the hash length. This was not modified as part of the SHA-256 work because the hash length was automatically up-shifted due to that config. Since we have this byte available, we can make the file formats more obviously incompatible instead of relying on other context from the repository. Add a new oid_version() method in midx.c similar to the one in commit-graph.c. This is specifically made separate from that implementation to avoid artificially linking the formats. The test impact requires a few more things than the corresponding change in the commit-graph format. Specifically, 'test-tool read-midx' was not writing anything about this header value to output. Since the value available in 'struct multi_pack_index' is hash_len instead of a version value, we output "20" or "32" instead of "1" or "2". Since we want a user to not have their Git commands fail if their multi-pack-index has the incorrect hash version compared to the repository's hash version, we relax the die() to an error() in load_multi_pack_index(). This has some effect on 'git multi-pack-index verify' as we need to check that a failed parse of a file that exists is actually a verify error. For that test that checks the hash version matches, we change the corrupted byte from "2" to "3" to ensure the test fails for both hash algorithms.

2020-08-17commit-graph: use the "hash version" byteDerrick Stolee5-8/+62
The commit-graph format reserved a byte among the header of the file to store a "hash version". During the SHA-256 work, this was not modified because file formats are not necessarily intended to work across hash versions. If a repository has SHA-256 as its hash algorithm, it automatically up-shifts the lengths of object names in all necessary formats. However, since we have this byte available for adjusting the version, we can make the file formats more obviously incompatible instead of relying on other context from the repository. Update the oid_version() method in commit-graph.c to add a new value, 2, for sha-256. This automatically writes the new value in a SHA-256 repository _and_ verifies the value is correct. This is a breaking change relative to the current 'master' branch since 092b677 (Merge branch 'bc/sha-256-cvs-svn-updates', 2020-08-13) but it is not breaking relative to any released version of Git. The test impact is relatively minor: the output of 'test-tool read-graph' lists the header information, so those instances of '1' need to be replaced with a variable determined by GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH. A more careful test is added that specifically creates a repository of each type then swaps the commit-graph files. The important value here is that the "git log" command succeeds while writing a message to stderr.

In the ensure_core_worktree() function, we load the core.worktree value of the submodule repository using repo_config_get_string(). This function copies the string, but we never free it, leaking the memory. We can instead use the "tmp" version of that function to avoid the allocation at all.

2020-08-17config: drop git_config_get_string_const()Jeff King7-43/+16
As evidenced by the leak fixes in the previous commit, the "const" in git_config_get_string_const() clearly misleads people into thinking that it does not allocate a copy of the string. We can fix this by renaming it, but it's easier still to just drop it. Of the four remaining callers: - The one in git_config_parse_expiry() still needs to allocate, since that's what its callers expect. We can just use the non-const version and cast our pointer. Slightly ugly, but the damage is contained in one spot. - The two in apply are writing to global "const char *" variables, and need to continue allocating. We often mark these as const because we assign default string literals to them. But in this case we don't do that, so we can just declare them as real "char *" pointers and use the non-const version. - The call in checkout doesn't actually need a copy; it can just use the non-allocating "tmp" version of the function. The function is also mentioned in the MyFirstContribution document. We can swap that call out for the non-allocating "tmp" variant, which fits well in the example given. We'll drop the "configset" and "repo" variants, as well (which are unused). Note that this frees up the "const" name, so we could rename the "tmp" variant back to that. But let's give some time for topics in flight to adapt to the new code before doing so (if we do it too soon, the function semantics will change but the compiler won't alert us).

2020-08-17Documentation: mark `--object-format=sha256` as experimentalMartin Ågren5-1/+14
After eff45daab8 ("repository: enable SHA-256 support by default", 2020-07-29), vanilla builds of Git enable the user to run, e.g., git init --object-format=sha256 and hack away. This can be a good way to gain experience with the SHA-256 world, e.g., to find bugs that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256 make test doesn't spot. But it really is a separate world: Such SHA-256 repos will live entirely separate from the (by now fairly large) set of SHA-1 repos. Interacting across the border is possible in principle, e.g., through "diff + apply" (or "format-patch + am"), but even that has its limitations: Applying a SHA-256 diff in a SHA-1 repo works in the simple case, but if you need to resort to `-3`, you're out of luck. Similarly, "push + pull" should work, but you really will be operating mostly offset from the rest of the world. That might be ok by the time you initialize your repository, and it might be ok for several months after that, but there might come a day when you're starting to regret your use of `git init --object-format=sha256` and have dug yourself into a fairly deep hole. There are currently topics in flight to document our data formats and protocols regarding SHA-256 and in some cases (midx and commit-graph), we're considering adjusting how the file formats indicate which object format to use. Wherever `--object-format` is mentioned in our documentation, let's make it clear that using it with "sha256" is experimental. If we later need to explain why we can't handle data we generated back in 2020, we can always point to this paragraph we're adding here. By "include::"-ing a small blurb, we should be able to be consistent throughout the documentation and can eventually gradually tone down the severity of this text. One day, we might even use it to start phasing out `--object-format=sha1`, but let's not get ahead of ourselves... There's also `extensions.objectFormat`, but it's only mentioned three times. Twice where we're adding this new disclaimer and in the third spot we already have a "do not edit" warning. From there, interested readers should eventually find this new one that we're adding here. Because `GIT_DEFAULT_HASH` provides another entry point to this functionality, document the experimental nature of it too.

Like f0bca72dc77 (send-pack: use buffered I/O to talk to pack-objects, 2016-06-08), significantly reduce the number of system calls and simplify the code for sending object IDs to rev-list by using stdio's buffering. Take care to handle errors immediately to get the correct error code, and to flush the buffer explicitly before closing the stream in order to catch any write errors for these last bytes.

2020-08-14config: fix leaks from git_config_get_string_const()Jeff King10-13/+53
There are two functions to get a single config string: - git_config_get_string() - git_config_get_string_const() One might naively think that the first one allocates a new string and the second one just points us to the internal configset storage. But in fact they both allocate a new copy; the second one exists only to avoid having to cast when using it with a const global which we never intend to free. The documentation for the function explains that clearly, but it seems I'm not alone in being surprised by this. Of 17 calls to the function, 13 of them leak the resulting value. We could obviously fix these by adding the appropriate free(). But it would be simpler still if we actually had a non-allocating way to get the string. There's git_config_get_value() but that doesn't quite do what we want. If the config key is present but is a boolean with no value (e.g., "[foo]bar" in the file), then we'll get NULL (whereas the string versions will print an error and die). So let's introduce a new variant, git_config_get_string_tmp(), that behaves as these callers expect. We need a new name because we have new semantics but the same function signature (so even if we converted the four remaining callers, topics in flight might be surprised). The "tmp" is because this value should only be held onto for a short time. In practice it's rare for us to clear and refresh the configset, invalidating the pointer, but hopefully the "tmp" makes callers think about the lifetime. In each of the converted cases here the value only needs to last within the local function or its immediate caller.

2020-08-14checkout: fix leak of non-existent branch namesJeff King1-1/+3
We unconditionally write a branch name into a newly allocated buffer in new_branch_info->path, via setup_branch_path(). We then check to see if the branch exists; if not, we set that field to NULL, leaking the memory. We should take care to free() it when doing so.

2020-08-14submodule--helper: use strbuf_release() to free strbufsJeff King1-2/+2
The prepare_to_clone_next_submodule() function has a few local-variable strbufs. We use strbuf_reset() throughout the function to reuse the buffers over and over. But at the end of the function we also use strbuf_reset() as they go out of scope, which means we end up leaking their heap buffers. This should be strbuf_release() instead. These were introduced by 48308681b0 (git submodule update: have a dedicated helper for cloning, 2016-02-29), but it doesn't seem to have the same mistake elsewhere. Likewise, I looked for other instances of the pattern in the submodule--helper file but couldn't find any. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-08-14sequencer: avoid garbled merge machinery messages due to commit labelsElijah Newren3-12/+12
sequencer's get_message() exists to provide good labels on conflict hunks; see commits d68565402a ("revert: clarify label on conflict hunks", 2010-03-20) bf975d379d ("cherry-pick, revert: add a label for ancestor", 2010-03-20) 043a4492b3 ("sequencer: factor code out of revert builtin", 2012-01-11). for background on this function. These labels are of the form <commitID>... <commit summary> or parent of <commitID>... <commit summary> These labels are then passed as branch names to the merge machinery. However, these labels, as formatted, often also serve to confuse. For example, if we have a rename involved in a content merge, then it results in text such as the following: <<<<<<<< HEAD:foo.c int j; ======== int counter; >>>>>>>> b01dface... Removed unnecessary stuff:bar.c Or in various conflict messages, it can make it very difficult to read: CONFLICT (rename/delete): foo.c deleted in b01dface... Removed unnecessary stuff and renamed in HEAD. Version HEAD of foo.c left in tree. CONFLICT (file location): dir1/foo.c added in b01dface... Removed unnecessary stuff inside a directory that was renamed in HEAD, suggesting it should perhaps be moved to dir2/foo.c. Make a minor change to remove the ellipses and add parentheses around the commit summary; this makes all three examples much easier to read: <<<<<<<< HEAD:foo.c int j; ======== int counter; >>>>>>>> b01dface (Removed unnecessary stuff):bar.c CONFLICT (rename/delete): foo.c deleted in b01dface (Removed unnecessary stuff) and renamed in HEAD. Version HEAD of foo.c left in tree. CONFLICT (file location): dir1/foo.c added in b01dface (Removed unnecessary stuff) inside a directory that was renamed in HEAD, suggesting it should perhaps be moved to dir2/foo.c.
