"core.commentChar=auto" that attempts to dynamically pick a
suitable comment character is non-workable, as it is too much
trouble to support for little benefit, and is marked as deprecated.
* pw/3.0-commentchar-auto-deprecation:
commit: print advice when core.commentString=auto
config: warn on core.commentString=auto
breaking-changes: deprecate support for core.commentString=auto
|
|
As support for this setting was deprecated in the last commit print a
warning (or die when WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES is enabled) if it is set.
Avoid bombarding the user with warnings by only printing it (a) when
running commands that call "git commit" and (b) only once per command.
Some scaffolding is added to repo_read_config() to allow it to
detect deprecated config settings and warn about them. As both
"core.commentChar" and "core.commentString" set the comment
character we record which one of them is used and tailor the
warning message appropriately.
Note the odd combination of die_message() followed by die(NULL)
is to allow the next commit to insert a call to advise() in the middle.

Object database sources are classified either as:
- Local, which means that the source is the repository's primary
source. This is typically ".git/objects".
- Non-local, which is everything else. Most importantly this includes
alternates and quarantine directories.
This locality is often computed ad-hoc by checking whether a given
object source is the first one. This works, but it is quite roundabout.
Refactor the code so that we store locality when creating the sources in
the first place. This makes it both more accessible and robust.

The 'extensions.preciousObjects' setting when set true, prevents
operations that might drop objects from the object storage. This setting
is populated in the global variable
'repository_format_precious_objects'.
Move this global variable to repo scope by adding it to 'struct
repository and also refactor all the occurences accordingly.
This change is part of an ongoing effort to eliminate global variables,
improve modularity and help libify the codebase.

In subsequent commits we'll get rid of our use of `the_repository` in
"odb.c" in favor of explicitly passing in a `struct object_database` or
a `struct odb_source`. In some cases though we'll need access to the
repository, for example to read a config value from it, but we don't
have a way to access the repository owning a specific object database.
Introduce parent pointers for `struct object_database` to its owning
repository as well as for `struct odb_source` to its owning object
database, which will allow us to adapt those use cases.
Note that this change requires us to pass through the object database to
`link_alt_odb_entry()` so that we can set up the parent pointers for any
source there. The callchain is adapted to pass through the object
database accordingly.

The `object_directory` structure is used as an access point for a single
object directory like ".git/objects". While the structure isn't yet
fully self-contained, the intent is for it to eventually contain all
information required to access objects in one specific location.
While the name "object directory" is a good fit for now, this will
change over time as we continue with the agenda to make pluggable object
databases a thing. Eventually, objects may not be accessed via any kind
of directory at all anymore, but they could instead be backed by any
kind of durable storage mechanism. While it seems quite far-fetched for
now, it is thinkable that eventually this might even be some form of a
database, for example.
As such, the current name of this structure will become worse over time
as we evolve into the direction of pluggable ODBs. Immediate next steps
will start to carve out proper self-contained object directories, which
requires us to pass in these object directories as parameters. Based on
our modern naming schema this means that those functions should then be
named after their subsystem, which means that we would start to bake the
current name into the codebase more and more.
Let's preempt this by renaming the structure. There have been a couple
alternatives that were discussed:
- `odb_backend` was discarded because it led to the association that
one object database has a single backend, but the model is that one
alternate has one backend. Furthermore, "backend" is more about the
actual backing implementation and less about the high-level concept.
- `odb_alternate` was discarded because it is a bit of a stretch to
also call the main object directory an "alternate".
Instead, pick `odb_source` as the new name. It makes it sufficiently
clear that there can be multiple sources and does not cause confusion
when mixed with the already-existing "alternate" terminology.
In the future, this change allows us to easily introduce for example a
`odb_files_source` and other format-specific implementations.

The `raw_object_store` structure is the central entry point for reading
and writing objects in a repository. The main purpose of this structure
is to manage object directories and provide an interface to access and
write objects in those object directories.
Right now, many of the functions associated with the raw object store
implicitly rely on `the_repository` to get access to its `objects`
pointer, which is the `raw_object_store`. As we want to generally get
rid of using `the_repository` across our codebase we will have to
convert this implicit dependency on this global variable into an
explicit parameter.
This conversion can be done by simply passing in an explicit pointer to
a repository and then using its `->objects` pointer. But there is a
second effort underway, which is to make the object subsystem more
selfcontained so that we can eventually have pluggable object backends.
As such, passing in a repository wouldn't make a ton of sense, and the
goal is to convert the object store interfaces such that we always pass
in a reference to the `raw_object_store` instead.
This will expose the `raw_object_store` type to a lot more callers
though, which surfaces that this type is named somewhat awkwardly. The
"raw_" prefix makes readers wonder whether there is a non-raw variant of
the object store, but there isn't. Furthermore, we nowadays want to name
functions in a way that they can be clearly attributed to a specific
subsystem, but calling them e.g. `raw_object_store_has_object()` is just
too unwieldy, even when dropping the "raw_" prefix.
Instead, rename the structure to `object_database`. This term is already
used a lot throughout our codebase, and it cannot easily be mistaken for
"object directories", either. Furthermore, its acronym ODB is already
well-known and works well as part of a function's name, like for example
`odb_has_object()`.

The "object-store-ll.h" header has been introduced to keep transitive
header dependendcies and compile times at bay. Now that we have created
a new "object-store.c" file though we can easily move the last remaining
additional bit of "object-store.h", the `odb_path_map`, out of the
header.
Do so. As the "object-store.h" header is now equivalent to its low-level
alternative we drop the latter and inline it into the former.

We don't provide a way to clear a `struct repo_settings`, and instead

We do not clear grafts part of the parsed object pool when clearing the

it from `parsed_object_pool_clear()`. Adapt `parsed_object_pool_new()`

Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we
slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead,
callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters.
It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this
variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there
is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during
code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the
patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces
that implicitly rely on `the_repository`.
Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code
units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is
to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable
anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes,
be it explicit or implicit
For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as
`the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an
implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at
the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add
guards as required (or even better, just remove them).
Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our
code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins
rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to
their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the
required changes at least a little bit more contained.

Similar as with the preceding commit, the worktree ref stores are always
looked up via `the_repository`. Also, again, those ref stores are stored
in a global map.
Refactor the code so that worktrees have a pointer to their repository.
Like this, we can move the global map into `struct repository` and stop
using `the_repository`. With this change, we can now in theory look up
worktree ref stores for repositories other than `the_repository`. In
practice, the worktree code will need further changes to look up
arbitrary worktrees.

Looking up submodule ref stores has two deficiencies:
- The initialized subrepo will be attributed to `the_repository`.
- The submodule ref store will be tracked in a global map.
This makes it impossible to have submodule ref stores for a repository
other than `the_repository`.
Modify the function to accept the parent repository as parameter and
move the global map into `struct repository`. Like this it becomes
possible to look up submodule ref stores for arbitrary repositories.
Note that this also adds a new reference to `the_repository` in
`resolve_gitlink_ref()`, which is part of the refs interfaces. This will
get adjusted in the next patch.

During the startup of Git, we call `initialize_the_repository()` to set
up `the_repository` as well as `the_index`. Part of this setup is also
to set the default object hash of the repository to SHA1. This has the
effect that `the_hash_algo` is getting initialized to SHA1, as well.
This default hash algorithm eventually gets overridden by most Git
commands via `setup_git_directory()`, which also detects the actual hash
algorithm used by the repository.
There are some commands though that don't access a repository at all, or
at a later point only, and thus retain the default hash function for
some amount of time. As some of the the preceding commits demonstrate,
this can lead to subtle issues when we access `the_hash_algo` when no
repository has been set up.
Address this issue by dropping the set up of the default hash algorithm
completely. The effect of this is that `the_hash_algo` will map to a
`NULL` pointer and thus cause Git to crash when something tries to
access the hash algorithm without it being properly initialized. It thus
forces all Git commands to explicitly set up the hash algorithm in case
there is no repository.

All users of `the_index` have been converted to use either a custom
`struct index_state *` or the index provided by `the_repository`. We can
thus drop the globally-accessible declaration of this variable. In fact,
we can go further than that and drop `the_index` completely now and have
it be allocated dynamically in `initialize_repository()` as all the
other data structures in it are.
This concludes the quest to make Git `the_index` free, which has started
with 4aab5b46f4 (Make read-cache.c "the_index" free., 2007-04-01).

When Git starts, one of the first things it will do is to call
`initialize_the_repository()`. This function sets up both the global
`the_repository` and `the_index` variables as required. Part of that
setup is also to set `the_repository.index = &the_index` so that the
index can be accessed via the repository.
When calling `repo_init()` on a repository though we set the complete
struct to all-zeroes, which will also cause us to unset the `index`
pointer. And as we don't re-initialize the index in that function, we
will end up with a `NULL` pointer here.
This has been fine until now becaues this function is only used to
create a new repository. git-init(1) does not access the index at all
after initializing the repository, whereas git-checkout(1) only uses
`the_index` directly. We are about to remove `the_index` though, which
will uncover this partially-initialized repository structure.
Refactor the code and create a common `initialize_repository()` function
that gets called from `repo_init()` and `initialize_the_repository()`.
This function sets up both the repository and the index as required.
Like this, we can easily special-case when `repo_init()` gets called
with `the_repository`.

The `fsmonitor` repo-setting data is allocated lazily. It needs to be
released in `repo_clear()` along the rest of the allocated data in
`repository`.
This is needed because the next commit will merge v2.39.4, which will
add a `git checkout --recurse-modules` call (which would leak memory
without this here fix) to an otherwise leak-free test script.

Work to support a repository that work with both SHA-1 and SHA-256
hash algorithms has started.
* eb/hash-transition: (30 commits)
t1016-compatObjectFormat: add tests to verify the conversion between objects
t1006: test oid compatibility with cat-file
t1006: rename sha1 to oid
test-lib: compute the compatibility hash so tests may use it
builtin/ls-tree: let the oid determine the output algorithm
object-file: handle compat objects in check_object_signature
tree-walk: init_tree_desc take an oid to get the hash algorithm
builtin/cat-file: let the oid determine the output algorithm
rev-parse: add an --output-object-format parameter
repository: implement extensions.compatObjectFormat
object-file: update object_info_extended to reencode objects
object-file-convert: convert commits that embed signed tags
object-file-convert: convert commit objects when writing
object-file-convert: don't leak when converting tag objects
object-file-convert: convert tag objects when writing
object-file-convert: add a function to convert trees between algorithms
object: factor out parse_mode out of fast-import and tree-walk into in object.h
cache: add a function to read an OID of a specific algorithm
tag: sign both hashes
commit: export add_header_signature to support handling signatures on tags

Similar to the preceding conversion of the AUTO_MERGE pseudo-ref, let's
convert the MERGE_AUTOSTASH ref to become a normal pseudo-ref as well.

In 70c70de616 (refs: complete list of special refs, 2023-12-14) we have
inrtoduced a new `is_special_ref()` function that classifies some refs
as being special. The rule is that special refs are exclusively read and
written via the filesystem directly, whereas normal refs exclucsively go
via the refs API.
The intent of that commit was to record the status quo so that we know
to route reads of such special refs consistently. Eventually, the list
should be reduced to its bare minimum of refs which really are special,
namely FETCH_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD.
Follow up on this promise and convert the AUTO_MERGE ref to become a
normal pseudo-ref by using the refs API to both read and write it
instead of accessing the filesystem directly.

In order to discern which ref storage format a repository is supposed to
use we need to start setting up and/or discovering the format. This
needs to happen in two separate code paths.
- The first path is when we create a repository via `init_db()`. When
we are re-initializing a preexisting repository we need to retain
the previously used ref storage format -- if the user asked for a
different format then this indicates an error and we error out.
Otherwise we either initialize the repository with the format asked
for by the user or the default format, which currently is the
"files" backend.
- The second path is when discovering repositories, where we need to
read the config of that repository. There is not yet any way to
configure something other than the "files" backend, so we can just
blindly set the ref storage format to this backend.
Wire up this logic so that we have the ref storage format always readily
available when needed. As there is only a single backend and because it
is not configurable we cannot yet verify that this tracking works as
expected via tests, but tests will be added in subsequent commits. To
countermand this ommission now though, raise a BUG() in case the ref
storage format is not set up properly in `ref_store_init()`.

Add a configuration option to enable updating and reading from
compatibility hash maps when git accesses the reposotiry.
Call the helper function repo_set_compat_hash_algo with the value
that compatObjectFormat is set to.

As part of the transition plan, we'd like to add a file in the .git
directory that maps loose objects between SHA-1 and SHA-256. Let's
implement the specification in the transition plan and store this data
on a per-repository basis in struct repository.

We currently have support for using a full stage 4 SHA-256
implementation. However, we'd like to support interoperability with
SHA-1 repositories as well. The transition plan anticipates a
compatibility hash algorithm configuration option that we can use to
implement support for this. Let's add an element to the repository
structure that indicates the compatibility hash algorithm so we can use
it when we need to consider interoperability between algorithms.
Add a helper function repo_set_compat_hash_algo that takes a
compatibility hash algorithm and sets "repo->compat_hash_algo". If
GIT_HASH_UNKNOWN is passed as the compatibility hash algorithm
"repo->compat_hash_algo" is set to NULL.
For now, the code results in "repo->compat_hash_algo" always being set
to NULL, but that will change once a configuration option is added.

The vast majority of files including object-store.h did not need dir.h
nor khash.h. Split the header into two files, and let most just depend
upon object-store-ll.h, while letting the two callers that need it
depend on the full object-store.h.
After this patch:
$ git grep -h include..object-store | sort | uniq -c
2 #include "object-store.h"
129 #include "object-store-ll.h"

Since this header showed up in some places besides just #include
statements, update/clean-up/remove those other places as well.
Note that compat/fsmonitor/fsm-path-utils-darwin.c previously got
away with violating the rule that all files must start with an include
of git-compat-util.h (or a short-list of alternate headers that happen
to include it first). This change exposed the violation and caused it
to stop building correctly; fix it by having it include
git-compat-util.h first, as per policy.
