Russell Belfer 3b4c401a 2014-02-10T13:20:08 Decouple index iterator sort from index This makes the index iterator honor the GIT_ITERATOR_IGNORE_CASE and GIT_ITERATOR_DONT_IGNORE_CASE flags without modifying the index data itself. To take advantage of this, I had to export a number of the internal index entry comparison functions. I also wrote some new tests to exercise the capability.

Carlos Martín Nieto 24f3024f 2014-02-05T14:31:01 Split p_strlen into its own header We need this from util.h and posix.h, but the latter includes common.h which includes util.h, which means p_strlen is not defined by the time we get to git__strndup(). Split the definition on p_strlen() off into its own header so we can use it in util.h.

Jameson Miller b176eded 2013-09-19T14:52:57 Initial Implementation of progress reports during push This adds the basics of progress reporting during push. While progress for all aspects of a push operation are not reported with this change, it lays the foundation to add these later. Push progress reporting can be improved in the future - and consumers of the API should just get more accurate information at that point. The main areas where this is lacking are: 1) packbuilding progress: does not report progress during deltafication, as this involves coordinating progress from multiple threads. 2) network progress: reports progress as objects and bytes are going to be written to the subtransport (instead of as client gets confirmation that they have been received by the server) and leaves out some of the bytes that are transfered as part of the push protocol. Basically, this reports the pack bytes that are written to the subtransport. It does not report the bytes sent on the wire that are received by the server. This should be a good estimate of progress (and an improvement over no progress).

Russell Belfer d730d3f4 2013-07-31T16:40:42 Major rename detection changes After doing further profiling, I found that a lot of time was being spent attempting to insert hashes into the file hash signature when using the rolling hash because the rolling hash approach generates a hash per byte of the file instead of one per run/line of data. To optimize this, I decided to convert back to a run-based file signature algorithm which would be more like core Git. After changing this, a number of the existing tests started to fail. In some cases, this appears to have been because the test was coded to be too specific to the particular results of the file similarity metric and in some cases there appear to have been bugs in the core rename detection code where only by the coincidence of the file similarity scoring were the expected results being generated. This renames all the variables in the core rename detection code to be more consistent and hopefully easier to follow which made it a bit easier to reason about the behavior of that code and fix the problems that I was seeing. I think it's in better shape now. There are a couple of tests now that attempt to stress test the rename detection code and they are quite slow. Most of the time is spent setting up the test data on disk and in the index. When we roll out performance improvements for index insertion, it should also speed up these tests I hope.

Russell Belfer 114f5a6c 2013-06-10T10:10:39 Reorganize diff and add basic diff driver This is a significant reorganization of the diff code to break it into a set of more clearly distinct files and to document the new organization. Hopefully this will make the diff code easier to understand and to extend. This adds a new `git_diff_driver` object that looks of diff driver information from the attributes and the config so that things like function content in diff headers can be provided. The full driver spec is not implemented in the commit - this is focused on the reorganization of the code and putting the driver hooks in place. This also removes a few #includes from src/repository.h that were overbroad, but as a result required extra #includes in a variety of places since including src/repository.h no longer results in pulling in the whole world.
Russell Belfer 3e9e6cda 2013-06-07T09:54:33 Add safe memset and use it This adds a `git__memset` routine that will not be optimized away and updates the places where I memset() right before a free() call to use it.
Russell Belfer d958e37a 2013-05-17T17:21:45 Fix issues with git_diff_find_similar There are a number of bugs in the rename code that only were obvious when I started testing it against large old repos with more complex patterns. (The code to do that testing is not ready to merge with libgit2, but I do plan to add more thorough tests.) This contains a significant number of changes and also tweaks the public API slightly to make emulating core git easier. Most notably, this separates the GIT_DIFF_FIND_AND_BREAK_REWRITES flag into FIND_REWRITES (which adds a self-similarity score to every modified file) and BREAK_REWRITES (which splits the modified deltas into add/remove pairs in the diff list). When you do a raw output of core git, rewrites show up as M090 or such, not at A and D output, so I wanted to be able to emulate that. Publicly, this also changes the flags to be uint16_t since we don't need values out of that range. Internally, this contains significant changes from a number of small bug fixes (like using the wrong side of the diff to decide if the object could be found in the ODB vs the workdir) to larger issues about which files can and should be compared and how the various edge cases of similarity scores should be treated. Honestly, I don't think this is the last update that will have to be made to this code, but I think this moves us closer to correct behavior and I tried to document the code so it would be easier to follow..

Carlos Martín Nieto 05b17964 2013-04-21T19:26:35 Make refcounting atomic
Russell Belfer e976b56d 2013-04-15T14:27:53 Add git__compare_and_swap and use it This removes the lock from the repository object and changes the internals to use the new atomic git__compare_and_swap to update the _odb, _config, _index, and _refdb variables in a threadsafe manner.
Russell Belfer 53607868 2013-04-15T00:09:03 Further threading fixes This builds on the earlier thread safety work to make it so that setting the odb, index, refdb, or config for a repository is done in a threadsafe manner with minimized locking time. This is done by adding a lock to the repository object and using it to guard the assignment of the above listed pointers. The lock is only held to assign the pointer value. This also contains some minor fixes to the other work with pack files to reduce the time that locks are being held to and fix an apparently memory leak.
Russell Belfer 4dcd8780 2013-04-19T17:17:44 Move refdb_backend to include/git2/sys This moves most of the refdb stuff over to the include/git2/sys directory, with some minor shifts in function organization. While I was making the necessary updates, I also removed the trailing whitespace in a few files that I modified just because I was there and it was bugging me.
Russell Belfer 62beacd3 2013-03-11T16:43:58 Sorting function cleanup and MinGW fix Clean up some sorting function stuff including fixing qsort_r on MinGW, common function pointer type for comparison, and basic insertion sort implementation (which we, regrettably, fall back on for MinGW).
Russell Belfer e40f1c2d 2013-03-08T16:39:57 Make tree iterator handle icase equivalence There is a serious bug in the previous tree iterator implementation. If case insensitivity resulted in member elements being equivalent to one another, and those member elements were trees, then the children of the colliding elements would be processed in sequence instead of in a single flattened list. This meant that the tree iterator was not truly acting like a case-insensitive list. This completely reworks the tree iterator to manage lists with case insensitive equivalence classes and advance through the items in a unified manner in a single sorted frame. It is possible that at a future date we might want to update this to separate the case insensitive and case sensitive tree iterators so that the case sensitive one could be a minimal amount of code and the insensitive one would always know what it needed to do without checking flags. But there would be so much shared code between the two, that I'm not sure it that's a win. For now, this gets what we need. More tests are needed, though.

Russell Belfer 851ad650 2013-01-09T16:00:16 Add payload "_r" versions of bsearch and tsort git__bsearch and git__tsort did not pass a payload through to the comparison function. This makes it impossible to implement sorted lists where the sort order depends on external data (e.g. building a secondary sort order for the entries in a tree). This commit adds git__bsearch_r and git__tsort_r versions that pass a third parameter to the cmp function of a user payload.

Russell Belfer 55cbd05b 2012-11-08T16:56:34 Some diff refactorings to help code reuse There are some diff functions that are useful in a rewritten checkout and this lays some groundwork for that. This contains three main things: 1. Share the function diff uses to calculate the OID for a file in the working directory (now named `git_diff__oid_for_file` 2. Add a `git_diff__paired_foreach` function to iterator over two diff lists concurrently. Convert status to use it. 3. Move all the string/prefix/index entry comparisons into function pointers inside the `git_diff_list` object so they can be switched between case sensitive and insensitive versions. This makes them easier to reuse in various functions without replicating logic. As part of this, move a couple of index functions out of diff.c and into index.c.

Russell Belfer 41a82592 2012-05-15T14:17:39 Ranged iterators and rewritten git_status_file The goal of this work is to rewrite git_status_file to use the same underlying code as git_status_foreach. This is done in 3 phases: 1. Extend iterators to allow ranged iteration with start and end prefixes for the range of file names to be covered. 2. Improve diff so that when there is a pathspec and there is a common non-wildcard prefix of the pathspec, it will use ranged iterators to minimize excess iteration. 3. Rewrite git_status_file to call git_status_foreach_ext with a pathspec that covers just the one file being checked. Since ranged iterators underlie the status & diff implementation, this is actually fairly efficient. The workdir iterator does end up loading the contents of all the directories down to the single file, which should ideally be avoided, but it is pretty good.

Vicent Martí dda708e7 2012-03-09T19:55:50 error-handling: On-disk config file backend Includes: - Proper error reporting when encountering syntax errors in a config file (file, line number, column). - Rewritten `config_write`, now with 99% less goto-spaghetti - Error state in `git_filebuf`: filebuf write functions no longer need to be checked for error returns. If any of the writes performed on a buffer fail, the last call to `git_filebuf_commit` or `git_filebuf_hash` will fail accordingly and set the appropiate error message. Baller!
Russell Belfer ae9e29fd 2012-03-06T16:14:31 Migrating diff to new error handling Ended up migrating a bunch of upstream functions as well including vector, attr_file, and odb in order to get this to work right.
Vicent Martí cb8a7961 2012-03-07T00:02:55 error-handling: Repository This also includes droping `git_buf_lasterror` because it makes no sense in the new system. Note that in most of the places were it has been dropped, the code needs cleanup. I.e. GIT_ENOMEM is going away, so instead it should return a generic `-1` and obviously not throw anything.

Russell Belfer 83bfbdf5 2012-01-16T18:00:18 Remove poor git__removechar function Going back over this, the git__removechar function was not needed (only invoked once) and is actually mislabeled. As implemented, it really only made sense for removing backslash characters, since two of the "removed" characters in a row would include the second one -- i.e. it really implements stripping backslash-escaped strings where a backslash allows internal whitespace in a word.
Russell Belfer a51cd8e6 2012-01-16T16:58:27 Fix handling of relative paths for attrs Per issue #533, the handling of relative paths in attribute and ignore files was not right. Fixed this by pre-joining the relative path of the attribute/ignore file onto the match string when a full path match is required. Unfortunately, fixing this required a bit more code than I would have liked because I had to juggle things around so that the fnmatch parser would have sufficient information to prepend the relative path when it was needed.
Russell Belfer cfbc880d 2012-01-16T15:16:44 Patch cleanup for merge After reviewing the gitignore support with Vicent, we came up with a list of minor cleanups to prepare for merge, including: * checking git_repository_config error returns * renaming git_ignore_is_ignored and moving to status.h * fixing next_line skipping to include \r skips * commenting on where ignores are and are not included
Russell Belfer df743c7d 2012-01-09T15:37:19 Initial implementation of gitignore support Adds support for .gitignore files to git_status_foreach() and git_status_file(). This includes refactoring the gitattributes code to share logic where possible. The GIT_STATUS_IGNORED flag will now be passed in for files that are ignored (provided they are not already in the index or the head of repo).

Russell Belfer bd370b14 2011-12-30T15:00:14 Improved gitattributes macro implementation This updates to implementation of gitattribute macros to be much more similar to core git (albeit not 100%) and to handle expansion of macros within macros, etc. It also cleans up the refcounting usage with macros to be much cleaner. Also, this adds a new vector function `git_vector_insert_sorted()` which allows you to maintain a sorted list as you go. In order to write that function, this changes the function `git__bsearch()` to take a somewhat different set of parameters, although the core functionality is still the same.
Russell Belfer 73b51450 2011-12-28T23:28:50 Add support for macros and cache flush API. Add support for git attribute macro definitions. Also, add support for cache flush API to clear the attribute file content cache when needed. Additionally, improved the handling of global and system files, making common utility functions in fileops and converting config and attr to both use the common functions. Adds a bunch more tests and fixed some memory leaks. Note that adding macros required me to use refcounted attribute assignment definitions, which complicated, but probably improved memory usage.

There are no more "borrowed" or duplicated references. Main changes: - `git_repository_open2` and `3` have been dropped. - Added setters and getters to hotswap all the repository owned objects: `git_repository_index` `git_repository_set_index` `git_repository_odb` `git_repository_set_odb` `git_repository_config` `git_repository_set_config` `git_repository_workdir` `git_repository_set_workdir` Now working directories/index files/ODBs and so on can be hot-swapped after creating a repository and between operations. - All these objects now have proper ownership semantics with refcounting: they all require freeing after they are no longer needed (the repository always keeps its internal reference). - Repository open and initialization has been updated to keep in mind the configuration files. Bare repositories are now always detected, and a default config file is created on init. - All the tests affected by these changes have been dropped from the old test suite and ported to the new one.

Vicent Marti de18f276 2011-07-07T01:46:20 vector: Timsort all of the things Drop the GLibc implementation of Merge Sort and replace it with Timsort. The algorithm has been tuned to work on arrays of pointers (void **), so there's no longer a need to abstract the byte-width of each element in the array. All the comparison callbacks now take pointers-to-elements, not pointers-to-pointers, so there's now one less level of dereferencing. E.g. int index_cmp(const void *a, const void *b) { - const git_index_entry *entry_a = *(const git_index_entry **)(a); + const git_index_entry *entry_a = (const git_index_entry *)(a); The result is up to a 40% speed-up when sorting vectors. Memory usage remains lineal. A new `bsearch` implementation has been added, whose callback also supplies pointer-to-elements, to uniform the Vector API again.

Moved the function declarations to use the modern inline ones so MSVC doesn't have a fit. Added casts everywhere so MSVC doesn't crap its pants. Signed-off-by: Carlos Martín Nieto <carlos@cmartin.tk>

Vicent Marti fa59f18d 2011-05-09T20:54:04 Change error handling mechanism once again Ok, this is the real deal. Hopefully. Here's how it's going to work: - One main method, called `git__throw`, that sets the error code and error message when an error happens. This method must be called in every single place where an error code was being returned previously, setting an error message instead. Example, instead of: return GIT_EOBJCORRUPTED; Use: return git__throw(GIT_EOBJCORRUPTED, "The object is missing a finalizing line feed"); And instead of: [...] { error = GIT_EOBJCORRUPTED; goto cleanup; } Use: [...] { error = git__throw(GIT_EOBJCORRUPTED, "What an error!"); goto cleanup; } The **only** exception to this are the allocation methods, which return NULL on failure but already set the message manually. /* only place where an error code can be returned directly, because the error message has already been set by the wrapper */ if (foo == NULL) return GIT_ENOMEM; - One secondary method, called `git__rethrow`, which can be used to fine-grain an error message and build an error stack. Example, instead of: if ((error = foobar(baz)) < GIT_SUCCESS) return error; You can now do: if ((error = foobar(baz)) < GIT_SUCCESS) return git__rethrow(error, "Failed to do a major operation"); The return of the `git_lasterror` method will be a string in the shape of: "Failed to do a major operation. (Failed to do an internal operation)" E.g. "Failed to open the index. (Not enough permissions to access '/path/to/index')." NOTE: do not abuse this method. Try to write all `git__throw` messages in a descriptive manner, to avoid having to rethrow them to clarify their meaning. This method should only be used in the places where the original error message set by a subroutine is not specific enough. It is encouraged to continue using this style as much possible to enforce error propagation: if ((error = foobar(baz)) < GIT_SUCCESS) return error; /* `foobar` has set an error message, and we are just propagating it */ The error handling revamp will take place in two phases: - Phase 1: Replace all pieces of code that return direct error codes with calls to `git__throw`. This can be done semi-automatically using `ack` to locate all the error codes that must be replaced. - Phase 2: Add some `git__rethrow` calls in those cases where the original error messages are not specific enough. Phase 1 is the main goal. A minor libgit2 release will be shipped once Phase 1 is ready, and the work will start on gradually improving the error handling mechanism by refining specific error messages. OTHER NOTES: - When writing error messages, please refrain from using weasel words. They add verbosity to the message without giving any real information. (<3 Emeric) E.g. "The reference file appears to be missing a carriage return" Nope. "The reference file is missing a carriage return" Yes. - When calling `git__throw`, please try to use more generic error codes so we can eventually reduce the list of error codes to something more reasonable. Feel free to add new, more generic error codes if these are going to replace several of the old ones. E.g. return GIT_EREFCORRUPTED; Can be turned into: return git__throw(GIT_EOBJCORRUPTED, "The reference is corrupted");

Carlos Martín Nieto 094aaaae 2011-05-05T15:16:15 config: store the section name separately The section and variable names use different rules, so store them as two different variables internally. This will simplify the configuration-writing code as well later on, but even with parsing, the code is simpler. Take this opportunity to add a variable to the list directly when parsing instead of passing through config_set.

Vicent Marti 72a3fe42 2011-03-18T19:38:49 I broke your bindings Hey. Apologies in advance -- I broke your bindings. This is a major commit that includes a long-overdue redesign of the whole object-database structure. This is expected to be the last major external API redesign of the library until the first non-alpha release. Please get your bindings up to date with these changes. They will be included in the next minor release. Sorry again! Major features include: - Real caching and refcounting on parsed objects - Real caching and refcounting on objects read from the ODB - Streaming writes & reads from the ODB - Single-method writes for all object types - The external API is now partially thread-safe The speed increases are significant in all aspects, specially when reading an object several times from the ODB (revwalking) and when writing big objects to the ODB. Here's a full changelog for the external API: blob.h ------ - Remove `git_blob_new` - Remove `git_blob_set_rawcontent` - Remove `git_blob_set_rawcontent_fromfile` - Rename `git_blob_writefile` -> `git_blob_create_fromfile` - Change `git_blob_create_fromfile`: The `path` argument is now relative to the repository's working dir - Add `git_blob_create_frombuffer` commit.h -------- - Remove `git_commit_new` - Remove `git_commit_add_parent` - Remove `git_commit_set_message` - Remove `git_commit_set_committer` - Remove `git_commit_set_author` - Remove `git_commit_set_tree` - Add `git_commit_create` - Add `git_commit_create_v` - Add `git_commit_create_o` - Add `git_commit_create_ov` tag.h ----- - Remove `git_tag_new` - Remove `git_tag_set_target` - Remove `git_tag_set_name` - Remove `git_tag_set_tagger` - Remove `git_tag_set_message` - Add `git_tag_create` - Add `git_tag_create_o` tree.h ------ - Change `git_tree_entry_2object`: New signature is `(git_object **object_out, git_repository *repo, git_tree_entry *entry)` - Remove `git_tree_new` - Remove `git_tree_add_entry` - Remove `git_tree_remove_entry_byindex` - Remove `git_tree_remove_entry_byname` - Remove `git_tree_clearentries` - Remove `git_tree_entry_set_id` - Remove `git_tree_entry_set_name` - Remove `git_tree_entry_set_attributes` object.h ------------ - Remove `git_object_new - Remove `git_object_write` - Change `git_object_close`: This method is now *mandatory*. Not closing an object causes a memory leak. odb.h ----- - Remove type `git_rawobj` - Remove `git_rawobj_close` - Rename `git_rawobj_hash` -> `git_odb_hash` - Change `git_odb_hash`: New signature is `(git_oid *id, const void *data, size_t len, git_otype type)` - Add type `git_odb_object` - Add `git_odb_object_close` - Change `git_odb_read`: New signature is `(git_odb_object **out, git_odb *db, const git_oid *id)` - Change `git_odb_read_header`: New signature is `(size_t *len_p, git_otype *type_p, git_odb *db, const git_oid *id)` - Remove `git_odb_write` - Add `git_odb_open_wstream` - Add `git_odb_open_rstream` odb_backend.h ------------- - Change type `git_odb_backend`: New internal signatures are as follows int (* read)(void **, size_t *, git_otype *, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *) int (* read_header)(size_t *, git_otype *, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *) int (* writestream)(struct git_odb_stream **, struct git_odb_backend *, size_t, git_otype) int (* readstream)( struct git_odb_stream **, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *) - Add type `git_odb_stream` - Add enum `git_odb_streammode` Signed-off-by: Vicent Marti <tanoku@gmail.com>
Vicent Marti 58d06cf1 2011-03-10T01:06:24 Rewrite the Pack backend The new pack backend is an adaptation of the original git.git code in `sha1_file.c`. It's slightly faster than the previous version and severely less memory-hungry. The call-stack of a normal pack backend query has been properly documented in the top of the header for future reference. And by properly I mean with ASCII diagrams 'n shit.
