The diff text widget is read-only, so there's zero point in
building an undo stack. This change reduces memory consumption of
this widget by about 95%.
Memory usage of the whole program for viewing a reference commit
before; 579'692'744 bytes, after: 32'724'446 bytes.
Test procedure:
- Choose a largish commit and check it out. In this case one with
90'802 lines, 5'006'902 bytes.
- Have a Tcl version with memory debugging enabled. This is,
build one with --enable-symbols=mem passed to configure.
- Instrument Gitk to regularly show a memory dump. E.g. by adding
these code lines at the very bottom:
proc memDump {} {
catch {
set output [memory info]
puts $output
}
after 3000 memDump
}
memDump
- Start Gitk, it'll load this largish commit into the diff text
field automatically (because it's the current commit).
- Wait until memory consumption levels out and note the numbers.
Note that the numbers reported by [memory info] are much smaller
than the ones reported in 'top' (1.75 GB vs. 105 MB in this case),
likely due to all the instrumentation coming with the debug
version of Tcl.

When -S or -G is used as a filter option, the resulting commit list
rarely contains all matching commits. Only a certain number of commits
are displayed and the rest are missing.
"git log --boundary -S" does not return as many boundary commits as you
might expect. gitk makes up for this in closevarcs() by adding missing
parent (boundary) commits. However, it does not change $numcommits,
which limits how many commits are shown. In the end, some commits at the

9ec26e7977 (difftool: fix argument handling in subdirs, 2016-07-18)
corrected how path arguments are handled in a subdirectory, but
it introduced a regression in how entries outside of the
subdirectory are handled by dir-diff.
When preparing the right-side of the diff we only include the
changed paths in the temporary area.
The left side of the diff is constructed from a temporary
index that is built from the same set of changed files, but it
was being constructed from within the subdirectory. This is a
problem because the indexed paths are toplevel-relative, and
thus they were not getting added to the index.
Teach difftool to chdir to the toplevel of the repository before
preparing its temporary indexes. This ensures that all of the
toplevel-relative paths are valid.

When Git's source code calls isatty(), it really asks whether the
respective file descriptor is connected to an interactive terminal.
Windows' _isatty() function, however, determines whether the file
descriptor is associated with a character device. And NUL, Windows'
equivalent of /dev/null, is a character device.
Which means that for years, Git mistakenly detected an associated
interactive terminal when being run through the test suite, which
almost always redirects stdin, stdout and stderr to /dev/null.
This bug only became obvious, and painfully so, when the new
bisect--helper entered the `pu` branch and made the automatic build & test
time out because t6030 was waiting for an answer.

There are occasions when you decide to abort an in-progress rebase and
move on to do something else but you forget to do "git rebase --abort"
first. Or the rebase has been in progress for so long you forgot about
it. By the time you realize that (e.g. by starting another rebase)
it's already too late to retrace your steps. The solution is normally
rm -r .git/<some rebase dir>
and continue with your life. But there could be two different
directories for <some rebase dir> (and it obviously requires some
knowledge of how rebase works), and the ".git" part could be much
longer if you are not at top-dir, or in a linked worktree. And
"rm -r" is very dangerous to do in .git, a mistake in there could
destroy object database or other important data.
Provide "git rebase --quit" for this use case, mimicking a precedent
that is "git cherry-pick --quit".

should have a reason for doing it beyond simply having two (seemingly)

it's not always the best approach.
The previous sentence made it look more like it was trying to say that

not the expected HEAD.
A new file "sequencer/abort-safety" is added to save the expected

There are two different places where the --no-abbrev option is parsed,
and two different places where SHA-1s are abbreviated. We normally parse
--no-abbrev with setup_revisions(), but in the no-index case, "git diff"
calls diff_opt_parse() directly, and diff_opt_parse() didn't handle
--no-abbrev until now. (It did handle --abbrev, however.) We normally
abbreviate SHA-1s with find_unique_abbrev(), but commit 4f03666 ("diff:
handle sha1 abbreviations outside of repository, 2016-10-20) recently
introduced a special case when you run "git diff" outside of a
repository.
setup_revisions() does also call diff_opt_parse(), but not for --abbrev
or --no-abbrev, which it handles itself. setup_revisions() sets
rev_info->abbrev, and later copies that to diff_options->abbrev. It
handles --no-abbrev by setting abbrev to zero. (This change doesn't
touch that.)
Setting abbrev to zero was broken in the outside-of-a-repository special
case, which until now resulted in a truly zero-length SHA-1, rather than
taking zero to mean do not abbreviate. The only way to trigger this bug,
however, was by running "git diff --raw" without either the --abbrev or
--no-abbrev options, because 1) without --raw it doesn't respect abbrev
(which is bizarre, but has been that way forever), 2) we silently clamp
--abbrev=0 to MINIMUM_ABBREV, and 3) --no-abbrev wasn't handled until
now.
The outside-of-a-repository case is one of three no-index cases. The
other two are when one of the files you're comparing is outside of the
repository you're in, and the --no-index option.

When comparing tagnames, it is possible that a tagname contains more
than one of the configured prerelease suffixes around the first
different character. After fixing a bug in the previous commit such a
tagname is sorted according to the contained suffix which comes first
in the configuration. This is, however, not quite the right thing to
do in the following corner cases:
1. $ git -c versionsort.suffix=-bar
-c versionsort.suffix=-foo-baz
-c versionsort.suffix=-foo-bar
tag -l --sort=version:refname 'v1*'
v1.0-foo-bar
v1.0-foo-baz
The suffix of the tagname 'v1.0-foo-bar' is clearly '-foo-bar',
so it should be listed last. However, as it also contains '-bar'
around the first different character, it is listed first instead,
because that '-bar' suffix comes first the configuration.
2. One of the configured suffixes starts with the other:
$ git -c versionsort.prereleasesuffix=-pre \
-c versionsort.prereleasesuffix=-prerelease \
tag -l --sort=version:refname 'v2*'
v2.0-prerelease1
v2.0-pre1
v2.0-pre2
Here the tagname 'v2.0-prerelease1' should be the last. When
comparing 'v2.0-pre1' and 'v2.0-prerelease1' the first different
characters are '1' and 'r', respectively. Since this first
different character must be part of the configured suffix, the
'-pre' suffix is not recognized in the first tagname. OTOH, the
'-prerelease' suffix is properly recognized in
'v2.0-prerelease1', thus it is listed first.
Improve version sort in these corner cases, and
- look for a configured prerelease suffix containing the first
different character or ending right before it, so the '-pre'
suffixes are recognized in case (2). This also means that
when comparing tagnames 'v2.0-pre1' and 'v2.0-pre2',
swap_prereleases() would find the '-pre' suffix in both, but then
it will return "undecided" and the caller will do the right thing
by sorting based in '1' and '2'.
- If the tagname contains more than one suffix, then give precedence
to the contained suffix that starts at the earliest offset in the
tagname to address (1).
- If there are more than one suffixes starting at that earliest
position, then give precedence to the longest of those suffixes,
thus ensuring that in (2) the tagname 'v2.0-prerelease1' won't be
sorted based on the '-pre' suffix.
Add tests for these corner cases and adjust the documentation
accordingly.

Version sort with prerelease reordering sometimes puts tagnames in the
wrong order, when the common part of two compared tagnames overlaps
with the leading character(s) of one or more configured prerelease
suffixes. Note the position of "v2.1.0-beta-1":
$ git -c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix=-beta \
tag -l --sort=version:refname v2.1.*
v2.1.0-beta-2
v2.1.0-beta-3
v2.1.0
v2.1.0-RC1
v2.1.0-RC2
v2.1.0-beta-1
v2.1.1
v2.1.2
The reason is that when comparing a pair of tagnames, first
versioncmp() looks for the first different character in a pair of
tagnames, and then the swap_prereleases() helper function looks for a
configured prerelease suffix _starting at_ that character. Thus, when
in the above example the sorting algorithm happens to compare the
tagnames "v2.1.0-beta-1" and "v2.1.0-RC2", swap_prereleases() tries to
match the suffix "-beta" against "beta-1" to no avail, and the two
tagnames erroneously end up being ordered lexicographically.
To fix this issue change swap_prereleases() to look for configured
prerelease suffixes _containing_ the position of that first different
character.
Care must be taken, when a configured suffix is longer than the
tagnames' common part up to the first different character, to avoid
reading memory before the beginning of the tagnames. Add a test that
uses an exceptionally long prerelease suffix to check for this, in the
hope that in case of a regression the illegal memory access causes a
segfault in 'git tag' on one of the commonly used platforms (the test
happens to pass successfully on my Linux system with the safety check
removed), or at least makes valgrind complain.
Under some circumstances it's possible that more than one prerelease
suffixes can be found in the same tagname around that first different
character. With this simple bugfix patch such a tagname is sorted
according to the contained suffix that comes first in the
configuration for now. This is less than ideal in some cases, and the
following patch will take care of those.

The swap_prereleases() helper function is responsible for finding
configured prerelease suffixes in a pair of tagnames to be compared,
but this function currently gets to see only the parts of those two
tagnames starting at the first different character. To fix some
issues related to the common part of two tagnames overlapping with
leading part of a prerelease suffix, this helper function must see
both full tagnames.
In preparation for the fix in the following patch, refactor
swap_prereleases() and its caller to pass two full tagnames and an
additional offset indicating the position of the first different
character.
While updating the comment describing that function, remove the
sentence about not dealing with both tagnames having the same suffix.
Currently it doesn't add much value (we know that there is a different

in both), and at the end of this patch series it won't even be true

Some context before we talk about the removed code.
This paint_down() is part of step 6 of 58babff (shallow.c: the 8 steps
to select new commits for .git/shallow - 2013-12-05). When we fetch from
a shallow repository, we need to know if one of the new/updated refs
needs new "shallow commits" in .git/shallow (because we don't have
enough history of those refs) and which one.
The question at step 6 is, what (new) shallow commits are required in
other to maintain reachability throughout the repository _without_
cutting our history short? To answer, we mark all commits reachable from
existing refs with UNINTERESTING ("rev-list --not --all"), mark shallow
commits with BOTTOM, then for each new/updated refs, walk through the
commit graph until we either hit UNINTERESTING or BOTTOM, marking the
ref on the commit as we walk.
After all the walking is done, we check the new shallow commits. If we
have not seen any new ref marked on a new shallow commit, we know all
new/updated refs are reachable using just our history and .git/shallow.
The shallow commit in question is not needed and can be thrown away.
So, the code.
The loop here (to walk through commits) is basically
1. get one commit from the queue
2. ignore if it's SEEN or UNINTERESTING
3. mark it
4. go through all the parents and..
5a. mark it if it's never marked before
5b. put it back in the queue
What we do in this patch is drop step 5a because it is not
necessary. The commit being marked at 5a is put back on the queue, and
will be marked at step 3 at the next iteration. The only case it will
not be marked is when the commit is already marked UNINTERESTING (5a
does not check this), which will be ignored at step 2.
But we don't care about refs marking on UNINTERESTING. We care about the
marking on _shallow commits_ that are not reachable from our current
history (and having UNINTERESTING on it means it's reachable). So it's
ok for an UNINTERESTING not to be ref-marked.

First of all, 1 << 31 is technically undefined behaviour, so let's just
use an unsigned literal.
If i is 'signed int' and gcc doesn't know that i is positive, gcc
generates code to compute the C99-mandated values of "i / 32" and "i %
32", which is a lot more complicated than simple a simple shifts/mask.
The only caller of paint_down actually passes an "unsigned int" value,
but the prototype of paint_down causes (completely well-defined)
conversion to signed int, and gcc has no way of knowing that the
converted value is non-negative. Just make the id parameter unsigned.
In update_refstatus, the change in generated code is much smaller,
presumably because gcc is smart enough to see that i starts as 0 and is
only incremented, so it is allowed (per the UD of signed overflow) to
assume that i is always non-negative. But let's just help less smart
compilers generate good code anyway.

paint_alloc() allocates a big block of memory and splits it into
smaller, fixed size, chunks of memory whenever it's called. Each chunk
contains enough bits to present all "new refs" [1] in a fetch from a
shallow repository.
We do not check if the new "big block" is smaller than the requested
memory chunk though. If it happens, we'll happily pass back a memory
region smaller than expected. Which will lead to problems eventually.
A normal fetch may add/update a dozen new refs. Let's stay on the
"reasonably extreme" side and say we need 16k refs (or bits from
paint_alloc's perspective). Each chunk of memory would be 2k, much
smaller than the memory pool (512k).
So, normally, the under-allocation situation should never happen. A bad
guy, however, could make a fetch that adds more than 4m new/updated refs
to this code which results in a memory chunk larger than pool size.
Check this case and abort.

size does not really matter. But the pool size has no relation with
commit-slab. Stop using that macro here.

paint_alloc() is basically malloc(), tuned for allocating a fixed number
of bits on every call without worrying about freeing any individual
allocation since all will be freed at the end. It does it by allocating
a big block of memory every time it runs out of "free memory". "slab" is
a poor choice of name, at least poorer than "pool".

The "libify sequencer" topic stopped passing the die_on_error option
to hold_locked_index(), and this lost an error message from "git
merge --ff-only $commit" when there are competing updates in
progress.
The command still exits with a non-zero status, but that is not of
much help for an interactive user. The last thing the command says
is "Updating $from..$to". We used to follow it with a big error
message that makes it clear that "merge --ff-only" did not succeed.
What is sad is that we should have noticed this regression while
reviewing the change. It was clear that the update to the
checkout_fast_forward() function made a failing hold_locked_index()
silent, but the only caller of the checkout_fast_forward() function
had this comment:
if (checkout_fast_forward(from, to, 1))
- exit(128); /* the callee should have complained already */
+ return -1; /* the callee should have complained already */
which clearly contradicted the assumption X-<.
Add a new option LOCK_REPORT_ON_ERROR that can be passed instead of
LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR to the hold_lock*() family of functions and teach
checkout_fast_forward() to use it to fix this regression.
After going thourgh all calls to hold_lock*() family of functions
that used to pass LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR but were modified to pass 0 in
the "libify sequencer" topic "git show --first-parent 2a4062a4a8",
it appears that this is the only one that has become silent. Many
others used to give detailed report that talked about "there may be
competing Git process running" but with the series merged they now
only give a single liner "Unable to lock ...", some of which may
have to be tweaked further, but at least they say something, unlike
the one this patch fixes.

Callers of the hold_locked_index() function pass 0 when they want to
prepare to write a new version of the index file without wishing to
die or emit an error message when the request fails (e.g. somebody
else already held the lock), and pass 1 when they want the call to
die upon failure.
This option is called LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR by the underlying lockfile
API, and the hold_locked_index() function translates the paramter to
LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR when calling the hold_lock_file_for_update().
Replace these hardcoded '1' with LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR and stop
translating. Callers other than the ones that are replaced with
this change pass '0' to the function; no behaviour change is
intended with this patch.

Among the callers of hold_locked_index() that passes 0:
- diff.c::refresh_index_quietly() at the end of "git diff" is an
opportunistic update; it leaks the lockfile structure but it is
just before the program exits and nobody should care.
- builtin/describe.c::cmd_describe(),
builtin/commit.c::cmd_status(),
sequencer.c::read_and_refresh_cache() are all opportunistic
updates and they are OK.
- builtin/update-index.c::cmd_update_index() takes a lock upfront
but we may end up not needing to update the index (i.e. the
entries may be fully up-to-date), in which case we do not need to
issue an error upon failure to acquire the lock. We do diagnose
and die if we indeed need to update, so it is OK.
- wt-status.c::require_clean_work_tree() IS BUGGY. It asks
silence, does not check the returned value. Compare with
callsites like cmd_describe() and cmd_status() to notice that it
is wrong to call update_index_if_able() unconditionally.
The require_clean_work_tree() function calls hold_locked_index()
with die_on_error=0 to signal that it is OK if it fails to obtain
the lock, but unconditionally calls update_index_if_able(), which
will try to write into fd=-1.

When creating a stash, we need to look at the diff between
the working tree and HEAD, and do so using the git-diff
porcelain. Because git-diff enables porcelain config like
renames by default, this causes at least one problem. The
--name-only format will not mention the source side of a
rename, meaning we will fail to stash a deletion that is
part of a rename.
We could fix that case by passing --no-renames, but this is
a symptom of a larger problem. We should be using the
diff-index plumbing here, which does not have renames
enabled by default, and also does not respect any
potentially confusing config options.
