Several Git commands have subcommands to implement mutually exclusive
"operation modes", and they usually parse their subcommand argument
with a bunch of if-else if statements.
Teach parse-options to handle subcommands as well, which will result
in shorter and simpler code with consistent error handling and error
messages on unknown or missing subcommand, and it will also make
possible for our Bash completion script to handle subcommands
programmatically.
The approach is guided by the following observations:
- Most subcommands [1] are implemented in dedicated functions, and
most of those functions [2] either have a signature matching the
'int cmd_foo(int argc, const char **argc, const char *prefix)'
signature of builtin commands or can be trivially converted to
that signature, because they miss only that last prefix parameter
or have no parameters at all.
- Subcommand arguments only have long form, and they have no double
dash prefix, no negated form, and no description, and they don't
take any arguments, and can't be abbreviated.
- There must be exactly one subcommand among the arguments, or zero
if the command has a default operation mode.
- All arguments following the subcommand are considered to be
arguments of the subcommand, and, conversely, arguments meant for
the subcommand may not preceed the subcommand.
So in the end subcommand declaration and parsing would look something
like this:
parse_opt_subcommand_fn *fn = NULL;
struct option builtin_commit_graph_options[] = {
OPT_STRING(0, "object-dir", &opts.obj_dir, N_("dir"),
N_("the object directory to store the graph")),
OPT_SUBCOMMAND("verify", &fn, graph_verify),
OPT_SUBCOMMAND("write", &fn, graph_write),
OPT_END(),
};
argc = parse_options(argc, argv, prefix, options,
builtin_commit_graph_usage, 0);
return fn(argc, argv, prefix);
Here each OPT_SUBCOMMAND specifies the name of the subcommand and the
function implementing it, and the address of the same 'fn' subcommand
function pointer. parse_options() then processes the arguments until
it finds the first argument matching one of the subcommands, sets 'fn'
to the function associated with that subcommand, and returns, leaving
the rest of the arguments unprocessed. If none of the listed
subcommands is found among the arguments, parse_options() will show
usage and abort.
If a command has a default operation mode, 'fn' should be initialized
to the function implementing that mode, and parse_options() should be
invoked with the PARSE_OPT_SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONAL flag. In this case
parse_options() won't error out when not finding any subcommands, but
will return leaving 'fn' unchanged. Note that if that default
operation mode has any --options, then the PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT
flag is necessary as well (otherwise parse_options() would error out
upon seeing the unknown option meant to the default operation mode).
Some thoughts about the implementation:
- The same pointer to 'fn' must be specified as 'value' for each
OPT_SUBCOMMAND, because there can be only one set of mutually
exclusive subcommands; parse_options() will BUG() otherwise.
There are other ways to tell parse_options() where to put the
function associated with the subcommand given on the command line,
but I didn't like them:
- Change parse_options()'s signature by adding a pointer to
subcommand function to be set to the function associated with
the given subcommand, affecting all callsites, even those that
don't have subcommands.
- Introduce a specific parse_options_and_subcommand() variant
with that extra funcion parameter.
- I decided against automatically calling the subcommand function
from within parse_options(), because:
- There are commands that have to perform additional actions
after option parsing but before calling the function
implementing the specified subcommand.
- The return code of the subcommand is usually the return code
of the git command, but preserving the return code of the
automatically called subcommand function would have made the
API awkward.
- Also add a OPT_SUBCOMMAND_F() variant to allow specifying an
option flag: we have two subcommands that are purposefully
excluded from completion ('git remote rm' and 'git stash save'),
so they'll have to be specified with the PARSE_OPT_NOCOMPLETE
flag.
- Some of the 'parse_opt_flags' don't make sense with subcommands,
and using them is probably just an oversight or misunderstanding.
Therefore parse_options() will BUG() when invoked with any of the
following flags while the options array contains at least one
OPT_SUBCOMMAND:
- PARSE_OPT_KEEP_DASHDASH: parse_options() stops parsing
arguments when encountering a "--" argument, so it doesn't
make sense to expect and keep one before a subcommand, because
it would prevent the parsing of the subcommand.
However, this flag is allowed in combination with the
PARSE_OPT_SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONAL flag, because the double dash
might be meaningful for the command's default operation mode,
e.g. to disambiguate refs and pathspecs.
- PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION: As its name suggests, this flag
tells parse_options() to stop as soon as it encouners a
non-option argument, but subcommands are by definition not
options... so how could they be parsed, then?!
- PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN: This flag can be used to collect any
unknown --options and then pass them to a different command or
subsystem. Surely if a command has subcommands, then this
functionality should rather be delegated to one of those
subcommands, and not performed by the command itself.
However, this flag is allowed in combination with the
PARSE_OPT_SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONAL flag, making possible to pass
--options to the default operation mode.
- If the command with subcommands has a default operation mode, then
all arguments to the command must preceed the arguments of the
subcommand.
AFAICT we don't have any commands where this makes a difference,
because in those commands either only the command accepts any
arguments ('notes' and 'remote'), or only the default subcommand
('reflog' and 'stash'), but never both.
- The 'argv' array passed to subcommand functions currently starts
with the name of the subcommand. Keep this behavior. AFAICT no
subcommand functions depend on the actual content of 'argv[0]',
but the parse_options() call handling their options expects that
the options start at argv[1].
- To support handling subcommands programmatically in our Bash
completion script, 'git cmd --git-completion-helper' will now list
both subcommands and regular --options, if any. This means that
the completion script will have to separate subcommands (i.e.
words without a double dash prefix) from --options on its own, but
that's rather easy to do, and it's not much work either, because
the number of subcommands a command might have is rather low, and
those commands accept only a single --option or none at all. An
alternative would be to introduce a separate option that lists
only subcommands, but then the completion script would need not
one but two git invocations and command substitutions for commands
with subcommands.
Note that this change doesn't affect the behavior of our Bash
completion script, because when completing the --option of a
command with subcommands, e.g. for 'git notes --<TAB>', then all
subcommands will be filtered out anyway, as none of them will
match the word to be completed starting with that double dash
prefix.
[1] Except 'git rerere', because many of its subcommands are
implemented in the bodies of the if-else if statements parsing the
command's subcommand argument.
[2] Except 'credential', 'credential-store' and 'fsmonitor--daemon',
because some of the functions implementing their subcommands take
special parameters.

The description of 'PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN' starts with "Keep unknown
arguments instead of erroring out". This is a bit misleading, as this
flag only applies to unknown --options, while non-option arguments are
kept even without this flag.

Add a bug() function to use in cases where we'd like to indicate a
runtime BUG(), but would like to defer the BUG() call because we're
possibly accumulating more bug() callers to exhaustively indicate what
went wrong.
We already have this sort of facility in various parts of the
codebase, just in the form of ad-hoc re-inventions of the
functionality that this new API provides. E.g. this will be used to
replace optbug() in parse-options.c, and the 'error("BUG:[...]' we do
in a loop in builtin/receive-pack.c.
Unlike the code this replaces we'll log to trace2 with this new bug()
function (as with other usage.c functions, including BUG()), we'll
also be able to avoid calls to xstrfmt() in some cases, as the bug()
function itself accepts variadic sprintf()-like arguments.
Any caller to bug() can follow up such calls with BUG_if_bug(),
which will BUG() out (i.e. abort()) if there were any preceding calls
to bug(), callers can also decide not to call BUG_if_bug() and leave
the resulting BUG() invocation until exit() time. There are currently
no bug() API users that don't call BUG_if_bug() themselves after a
for-loop, but allowing for not calling BUG_if_bug() keeps the API
flexible. As the tests and documentation here show we'll catch missing
BUG_if_bug() invocations in our exit() wrapper.

The v3 bundle format has capabilities, allowing newer versions of Git to

understand these new capabilities will fail with a helpful warning.
Create a new capability allowing Git to understand that the contained
pack-file is filtered according to some object filter. Typically, this
filter will be "blob:none" for a blobless partial clone.

The Generation Data (GDAT) and Generation Data Overflow (GDOV) chunks
store corrected commit date offsets, used for generation number v2.
Recent changes have demonstrated that previous versions of Git were
incorrectly parsing data from these chunks, but might have also been
writing them incorrectly.
I asserted [1] that the previous fixes were sufficient because the known
reasons for incorrectly writing generation number v2 data relied on
parsing the information incorrectly out of a commit-graph file, but the
previous versions of Git were not reading the generation number v2 data.
However, Patrick demonstrated [2] a case where in split commit-graphs
across an alternate boundary (and possibly some other special
conditions) it was possible to have a commit-graph that was generated by
a previous version of Git have incorrect generation number v2 data which
results in errors like the following:
commit-graph generation for commit <oid> is 1623273624 < 1623273710
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/f50e74f0-9ffa-f4f2-4663-269801495ed3@github.com/
[2] https://lore.kernel.org/git/Yh93vOkt2DkrGPh2@ncase/
Clearly, there is something else going on. The situation is not
completely understood, but the errors do not reproduce if the
commit-graphs are all generated by a Git version including these recent
fixes.
If we cannot trust the existing data in the GDAT and GDOV chunks, then
we can alter the format to change the chunk IDs for these chunks. This
causes the new version of Git to silently ignore the older chunks (and
disabling generation number v2 in the process) while writing new
commit-graph files with correct data in the GDA2 and GDO2 chunks.
Update commit-graph-format.txt including a historical note about these
deprecated chunks.

The previous patch demonstrates a bug where a MIDX's auxiliary object
order can become out of sync with a MIDX bitmap.
This is because of two confounding factors:
- First, the object order is stored in a file which is named according
to the multi-pack index's checksum, and the MIDX does not store the
object order. This means that the object order can change without
altering the checksum.
- But the .rev file is moved into place with finalize_object_file(),
which link(2)'s the file into place instead of renaming it. For us,
that means that a modified .rev file will not be moved into place if
MIDX's checksum was unchanged.
This fix is to force the MIDX's checksum to change when the preferred
pack changes but the set of packs contained in the MIDX does not. In
other words, when the object order changes, the MIDX's checksum needs to
change with it (regardless of whether the MIDX is tracking the same or
different packs).
This prevents a race whereby changing the object order (but not the
packs themselves) enables a reader to see the new .rev file with the old
MIDX, or similarly seeing the new bitmap with the old object order.
But why can't we just stop hardlinking the .rev into place instead
adding additional data to the MIDX? Suppose that's what we did. Then
when we go to generate the new bitmap, we'll load the old MIDX bitmap,
along with the MIDX that it references. That's fine, since the new MIDX
isn't moved into place until after the new bitmap is generated. But the
new object order *has* been moved into place. So we'll read the old
bitmaps in the new order when generating the new bitmap file, meaning
that without this secondary change, bitmap generation itself would
become a victim of the race described here.
This can all be prevented by forcing the MIDX's checksum to change when
the object order does. By embedding the entire object order into the
MIDX, we do just that. That is, the MIDX's checksum will change in
response to any perturbation of the underlying object order. In t5326,
this will cause the MIDX's checksum to update (even without changing the
set of packs in the MIDX), preventing the stale read problem.
Note that this makes it safe to continue to link(2) the MIDX .rev file
into place, since it is now impossible to have a .rev file that is
out-of-sync with the MIDX whose checksum it references. (But we will do
away with MIDX .rev files later in this series anyway, so this is
somewhat of a moot point).
In theory, it is possible to store a "fingerprint" of the full object
order here, so long as that fingerprint changes at least as often as the
full object order does. Some possibilities here include storing the
identity of the preferred pack, along with the mtimes of the
non-preferred packs in a consistent order. But storing a limited part of
the information makes it difficult to reason about whether or not there
are gaps between the two that would cause us to get bitten by this bug
again.

There is a formatting issue in "multi-pack-index.html", corresponding

and this commit fix the problem.
In ASCIIDOC, it doesn't treat an indented character as the
beginning of a sub-list. If we want to write a nested bulleted list, we
could just use ASTERISK without any DASH like:
"
* Level 1 list item
** Level 2 list item
*** Level 3 list item
** Level 2 list item
* Level 1 list item
** Level 2 list item
* Level 1 list item
"
The DASH can be used for bulleted list too, But the DASH is suggested
only to be used as the marker for the first level because the DASH
doesn’t work well or a best practice for nested lists,
like (dash is as level 2 below):
"
* Level 1 list item
- Level 2 list item
* Level 1 list item
"
ASTERISK is recommanded to use because it works intuitively and clearly
("marker length = nesting level") in nested lists, but the DASH can't.
However, when you want to write a non-nested bulleted lists, DASH works
too, like:
"
- Level 1 list item
- Level 1 list item
- Level 1 list item
"

A signature attached to a signed commit, and the contents of the
commit that merged a signed tag, are both recorded as a value of an
object header field as a multi-line value, and are subject to the
formatting convention for multi-line values in the headers, with a
leading SP signaling that the rest of the line is a continuation of
the previous line. Most notably, an empty line in such a multi-line
value would result in a line with a sole SP on it.
Examples in the signature-format technical documentation include a
few of these cases but we did not show these otherwise invisible SPs
in the example. These trailing spaces cannot be seen on display or
on paper, and forces the readers to look for them in their editors
or pagers, even if we added them to the document.
Extend the overview section to explain the multi-line value
formatting and highlight these otherwise invisible SPs by inventing
the "a dollar-sign at the end of line that appears after SP merely
signals that there is a SP there, and the dollar-sign itself does
not appear in the real file" notation, inspired by "cat -e" output,
to help readers to learn exactly where such "a single SP that is
originally an empty line" appears in the examples.

The reachability bitmap file used to be generated only for a single
pack, but now we've learned to generate bitmaps for history that
span across multiple packfiles.

Create "child_ready" event to capture the state of a child process
created in the background.
When a child command is started a "child_start" event is generated in
the Trace2 log. For normal synchronous children, a "child_exit" event
is later generated when the child exits or is terminated. The two events
include information, such as the "child_id" and "pid", to allow post
analysis to match-up the command line and exit status.
When a child is started in the background (and may outlive the parent
process), it is not possible for the parent to emit a "child_exit"
event. Create a new "child_ready" event to indicate whether the
child was successfully started. Also include the "child_id" and "pid"
to allow similar post processing.
This will be used in a later commit with the new "start_bg_command()".

We've never documented the fact that a client can provide multiple
ref-prefix capabilities. Let's describe the behavior.
We also never discussed the "best effort" nature of the prefixes. The
client side of git.git has always treated them this way, filtering the
result with local patterns. And indeed any client must do this, because
the prefix patterns are not sufficient to express the usual refspecs
(and so for "foo" we ask for "refs/heads/foo", "refs/tags/foo", and so
on).
So this may be considered a change in the spec with respect to client
expectations / requirements, but it's mostly codifying existing
behavior.

As was noted in 1a85b49b87 (parse-options: make OPT_ARGUMENT() more
useful, 2019-03-14) there's only ever been one user of the
OPT_ARGUMENT(), that user was added in 20de316e33 (difftool: allow
running outside Git worktrees with --no-index, 2019-03-14).
The OPT_ARGUMENT() feature itself was added way back in
580d5bffde (parse-options: new option type to treat an option-like
parameter as an argument., 2008-03-02), but as discussed in
1a85b49b87 wasn't used until 20de316e33 in 2019.
Now that the preceding commit has migrated this code over to using
"struct strvec" to manage the "args" member of a "struct
child_process", we can just use that directly instead of relying on
OPT_ARGUMENT.
This has a minor change in behavior in that if we'll pass --no-index
we'll now always pass it as the first argument, before we'd pass it in
whatever position the caller did. Preserving this was the real value
of OPT_ARGUMENT(), but as it turns out we didn't need that either. We
can always inject it as the first argument, the other end will parse
it just the same.
Note that we cannot remove the "out" and "cpidx" members of "struct
parse_opt_ctx_t" added in 580d5bffde, while they were introduced with
OPT_ARGUMENT() we since used them for other things.
