* ar/run-command-hook-take-2:
builtin/receive-pack: avoid spinning no-op sideband async threads
|
|
Exit early if the hooks do not exist, to avoid spinning up/down
sideband async threads which no-op.
It is important to call the hook_exists() API provided by hook.[ch]
because it covers both config-defined hooks and the "traditional"
hooks from the hookdir. find_hook() only covers the hookdir hooks.
The regression happened because the no-op async threads add some
additional overhead which can be measured with the receive-refs test
of the benchmarks suite [1].
Reproduced using:
cd benchmarks/receive-refs && \
./run --revisions /path/to/git \
fc148b146ad41be71a7852c4867f0773cbfe1ff9~,fc148b146ad41be71a7852c4867f0773cbfe1ff9 \

The "structure" output for git-repo(1) shows the total inflated and disk
sizes of reachable objects in the repository, but doesn't show the size
of the largest individual objects. Since an individual object may be a
large contributor to the overall repository size, it is useful for users
to know the maximum size of individual objects.
While interating across objects, record the size and OID of the largest
objects encountered for each object type to provide as output. Note that
the default "table" output format only displays size information and not
the corresponding OID. In a subsequent commit, the table format is
updated to add table annotations that mention the OID.

We have started to see the following assert happen in our GitLab CI
pipelines for jobs that use Windows with Meson:
assertion "bc_ctl.arg_max >= LINE_MAX" failed: file "xargs.c", line 512, function: main
The assert in question verifies that we have enough room available to
pass at least `LINE_MAX` many bytes via the command line. The xargs(1)
binary in those jobs comes from Git for Windows, which in turn sources
the binaries from MSYS2, and has the following limits in place:
$ & "C:/Program Files/Git/usr/bin/bash.exe" -l -c 'xargs --show-limits </dev/null'
Your environment variables take up 17373 bytes
POSIX upper limit on argument length (this system): 12579
POSIX smallest allowable upper limit on argument length (all systems): 4096
Maximum length of command we could actually use: 18446744073709546822
Size of command buffer we are actually using: 12579
Maximum parallelism (--max-procs must be no greater): 2147483647
What's interesting to see is the limit of 16 exabits for the maximum
command line length. This value might seem a bit high, and it is indeed
the result of an underflow: our environment is larger than the POSIX
upper limit on argument length, and the value is computed by subtracting
the former from the latter. So what we get is the result of `2^64 -
(17373 - 12579)`.
This makes it clear that the problem here is the size of our environment
variables. A listing sorted by length yields the following result:
$ Get-ChildItem "Env:" |
Sort-Object { $_.Value.Length } -Descending |
Select-Object Name, @{Name="Length"; Expression={$_.Value.Length}}
Name Length
---- ------
GITLAB_FEATURES 6386
Path 706
PSModulePath 229
The GITLAB_FEATURES environment variable makes up for roughly a third of
the complete environment. This variable is a comma-separated list of
features available for the GitLab instance, and seemingly it has been
growing over time as GitLab added more and more features.
Fix the issue by unsetting the environment variable in "ci/lib.sh". This
ensures that the environment variables are now smaller than the upper
limit on argument length again, and that in turn fixes the assert in
xargs(1).

For SMTP servers that do "mutual certificate verification", the mail
client is required to present its own TLS certificate as well. This
patch adds --smtp-ssl-client-cert and --smtp-ssl-client-key for such
servers.
The problem of which private key for the certificate is chosen arises
when there are private keys in both the certificate and private key
file. According to the documentation of IO::Socket::SSL(link supplied),
the behaviour(the private key chosen) depends on the format of the
certificate. In a nutshell,
- PKCS12: the key in the cert always takes the precedence
- PEM: if the key file is not given, it will "try" to read one
from the cert PEM file
Many users may find this discrepancy unintuitive.
In terms of client certificate, git-send-email is implemented in a way
that what's possible with perl's SSL library is exposed to the user as
much as possible. In this instance, the user may choose to use a PEM
file that contains both certificate and private key should be
at their discretion despite the implications.

When "git diff --find-object=<oid>" is run outside a git repository,
the option parsing callback eagerly resolves the OID via
repo_get_oid(), which reaches get_main_ref_store() and hits a BUG()
assertion because no repository has been set up.
Check startup_info->have_repository before attempting to resolve the
OID, and return a user-friendly error instead.

The is_work_tree_watched() function in fsmonitor-watchman.sample has
two bugs:
1. Wrong variable in error check: After calling watchman_clock(), the
result is stored in $o, but the code checks $output->{error} instead
of $o->{error}. This means errors from the clock command are silently
ignored.
2. Double output violates protocol: When the retry path triggers (the
directory wasn't initially watched), output_result() is called with
the "/" flag, then launch_watchman() is called recursively which
calls output_result() again. This outputs two clock tokens to stdout,
but git's fsmonitor v2 protocol expects exactly one response.
Fix #1 by checking $o->{error} after watchman_clock().
Fix #2 by removing the recursive launch_watchman() call. The "/"
"everything is dirty" flag already tells git to do a full scan, and
git will call the hook again on the next invocation with a valid clock
token.
With the recursive call removed, the $retry guard is no longer needed
since it only existed to prevent infinite recursion. Remove it.
Apply the same fixes to the test helper scripts in t/t7519/.

When a non-ASCII character is detected in the body or subject of the email
the user is prompted with,
Which 8bit encoding should I declare [UTF-8]? foo
After this the input string is validated by the regex, based on the fact
that the charset string will be minimum 4 characters [1]. If the string is
more than 4 letters the email is sent, if not then a second prompt to
confirm is asked to the user,
Are you sure you want to use <foo> [y/N]? y
This relies on a length based regex heuristic check to validate the user
input, and can allow clearly invalid charset names to pass if the input is
greater than 4 characters.
Add a semantic validation of the charset name using the
Encode::find_encoding() which is a bundled module of perl. If the encoding
is not recognized, warn the user and ask for confirmation before proceeding.
After this validation the lenght based validation becomes redundant and also
breaks flow, so change the regex of valid input to any non blank string.
Make the encoding warning logic specific to the 8bit prompt, also add a
unique confirmation prompt which reduces the load on ask(), and improves
maintainability.
Additionally, the wording of the first prompt can confuse the user if not
read properly or under any default assumptions for a yes/no prompt. Change
the wording to make it explicitly clear to the user that the prompt needs a
string input, UTF-8 being the default.
The intended flow is,
Declare which 8bit encoding to use [default: UTF-8]? foobar
'foobar' does not appear to be a valid charset name. Use it anyway [y/N]?

As a dark-theme user, I use the Preferences dialog to set colors
for gitk. The only color I cannot change via that dialog is the
link foreground color, which leads to using the default link color
on a dark background that makes it hard to read.
Make the link foreground color also configurable in the Gitk
Preferences dialog's Color tab, so users won't need to dig into
the code/manual to check if it is configurable and can simply set

The list_aliases() function sets the util pointer of each list item to
a heap-allocated copy of the alias command value. Two callers failed
to free these util pointers:
- list_cmds() in git.c collects a string list with STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP
and clears it with string_list_clear(&list, 0), which frees the
duplicated strings (strdup_strings=1) but not the util pointers.
Pass free_util=1 to free them.
- list_cmds_by_config() in help.c calls string_list_sort_u(list, 0) to
deduplicate the list before processing completion.commands overrides.
When duplicate entries are removed, the util pointer of each discarded
item is leaked because free_util=0. Pass free_util=1 to free them.

When git-config stores a key of the form alias..name, it records
it under an empty subsection ([alias ""]). The new subsection-aware
alias lookup would see a non-NULL but zero-length subsection and
fall into the subsection code path, where it required a "command"
key and thus silently ignored the entry.
Normalize an empty subsection to NULL before any further processing
so that entries stored this way continue to work as plain
case-insensitive aliases, matching the pre-subsection behaviour.
Users who relied on alias..name to create an alias literally named
".name" may want to migrate to subsection syntax, which looks less confusing:
[alias ".name"]
command = <value>
Add tests covering both the empty-subsection compatibility case and
the leading-dot alias via the new syntax.

Add a new configuration variable status.compareBranches that allows
users to specify a space-separated list of branch comparisons in
git status output.
Supported values:
- @{upstream} for the current branch's upstream tracking branch
- @{push} for the current branch's push destination
Any other value is ignored and a warning is shown.
When not configured, the default behavior is equivalent to setting
`status.compareBranches = @{upstream}`, preserving backward
compatibility.
The advice messages shown are context-aware:
- "git pull" advice is shown only when comparing against @{upstream}
- "git push" advice is shown only when comparing against @{push}
- Divergence advice is shown for upstream branch comparisons
This is useful for triangular workflows where the upstream tracking
branch differs from the push destination, allowing users to see their
status relative to both branches at once.
