Teach "am", "commit", "merge" and "rebase", when they are run with the "--quiet" option, to pass "--quiet" down to "gc --auto". * jc/auto-gc-quiet: auto-gc: pass --quiet down from am, commit, merge and rebase auto-gc: extract a reusable helper from "git fetch"

auto-gc: extract a reusable helper from "git fetch"

2020-05-07T19:24:33Z

Back in 1991006c (fetch: convert argv_gc_auto to struct argv_array, 2014-08-16), we taught "git fetch --quiet" to pass the "--quiet" option down to "gc --auto". This issue, however, is not limited to "fetch": $ git grep -e 'gc.*--auto' \*.c finds hits in "am", "commit", "merge", and "rebase" and these commands do not pass "--quiet" down to "gc --auto" when they themselves are told to be quiet. As a preparatory step, let's introduce a helper function run_auto_gc(), that the caller can pass a boolean "quiet", and redo the fix to "git fetch" using the helper.

run-command: trigger PATH lookup properly on Cygwin

2020-03-27T18:06:17Z

On Cygwin, the codepath for POSIX-like systems is taken in run-command.c::start_command(). The prepare_cmd() helper function is called to decide if the command needs to be looked up in the PATH. The logic there is to do the PATH-lookup if and only if it does not have any slash '/' in it. If this test passes we end up attempting to run the command by appending the string after each colon-separated component of PATH. The Cygwin environment supports both Windows and POSIX style paths, so both forwardslahes '/' and back slashes '\' can be used as directory separators for any external program the user supplies. Examples for path strings which are being incorrectly searched for in the PATH instead of being executed as is: - "C:\Program Files\some-program.exe" - "a\b\c.exe" To handle these, the PATH lookup detection logic in prepare_cmd() is taught to know about this Cygwin quirk, by introducing has_dir_sep(path) helper function to abstract away the difference between true POSIX and Cygwin systems.

Merge branch 'bc/run-command-nullness-after-free-fix'

C pedantry ;-) fix. * bc/run-command-nullness-after-free-fix: run-command: avoid undefined behavior in exists_in_PATH

run-command: avoid undefined behavior in exists_in_PATH

2020-01-07T19:59:07Z

In this function, we free the pointer we get from locate_in_PATH and then check whether it's NULL. However, this is undefined behavior if the pointer is non-NULL, since the C standard no longer permits us to use a valid pointer after freeing it. The only case in which the C standard would permit this to be defined behavior is if r were NULL, since it states that in such a case "no action occurs" as a result of calling free. It's easy to suggest that this is not likely to be a problem, but we know that GCC does aggressively exploit the fact that undefined behavior can never occur to optimize and rewrite code, even when that's contrary to the expectations of the programmer. It is, in fact, very common for it to omit NULL pointer checks, just as we have here. Since it's easy to fix, let's do so, and avoid a potential headache in the future. Noticed-by: Miriam R.

trace2: create new combined trace facility

2019-02-22T23:27:59Z

Create a new unified tracing facility for git. The eventual intent is to replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a unified set of git_trace2* routines. In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written. This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools. Trace2 defines 3 output targets. These are set using the environment variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT". These may be set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE). * GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command summary data. * GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE. It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread, repo, absolute and relative elapsed times. It reports events for child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function nesting. * GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a series of JSON records. Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance* routines.

Merge branch 'jc/run-command-report-exec-failure-fix' into maint

2018-12-15T03:24:34Z

A recent update accidentally squelched an error message when the run_command API failed to run a missing command, which has been corrected. * jc/run-command-report-exec-failure-fix: run-command: report exec failure

run-command: report exec failure

2018-12-12T08:06:50Z

In 321fd823 ("run-command: mark path lookup errors with ENOENT", 2018-10-24), we rewrote the logic to execute a command by looking in the directories on $PATH; as a side effect, a request to run a command that is not found on $PATH is noticed even before a child process is forked to execute it. We however stopped to report an exec failure in such a case by mistake. Add a logic to report the error unless silent-exec-failure is requested, to match the original code.
