GIT's guts work with a forward slash as a path separators. We do not change
that. Rather we make sure that only "normalized" paths enter the depths
of the machinery.
We have to translate backslashes to forward slashes in the prefix and in
command line arguments. Fortunately, all of them are passed through
functions in setup.c.
A macro has_dos_drive_path() is defined that checks whether a path begins
with a drive letter+colon combination. This predicate is always false on
Unix. Another macro is_dir_sep() abstracts that a backslash is also a
directory separator on Windows.

This turns two switch/case statements into an if-else-if cascade because
we later do not want to have
case '/':
#ifdef __MINGW32__
case '\\':
#endif
but use a predicate is_dir_sep(foo) in order to check for the directory
separator.

Once we find the absolute paths for git_dir and work_tree, we can make
git_dir a relative path since we know pwd will be work_tree. This should
save the kernel some time traversing the path to work_tree all the time
if git_dir is inside work_tree.
Daniel's patch didn't apply for me as-is, so I recreated it with some
differences, and here are the numbers from ten runs each.
There is some IO for me - probably due to more-or-less random flushing of
the journal - so the variation is bigger than I'd like, but whatever:
Before:
real 0m8.135s
real 0m7.933s
real 0m8.080s
real 0m7.954s
real 0m7.949s
real 0m8.112s
real 0m7.934s
real 0m8.059s
real 0m7.979s
real 0m8.038s
After:
real 0m7.685s
real 0m7.968s
real 0m7.703s
real 0m7.850s
real 0m7.995s
real 0m7.817s
real 0m7.963s
real 0m7.955s
real 0m7.848s
real 0m7.969s
Now, going by "best of ten" (on the assumption that the longer numbers
are all due to IO), I'm saying a 7.933s -> 7.685s reduction, and it does
seem to be outside of the noise (ie the "after" case never broke 8s, while
the "before" case did so half the time).
So looks like about 3% to me.
Doing it for a slightly smaller test-case (just the "arch" subdirectory)
gets more stable numbers probably due to not filling the journal with
metadata updates, so we have:
Before:
real 0m1.633s
real 0m1.633s
real 0m1.633s
real 0m1.632s
real 0m1.632s
real 0m1.630s
real 0m1.634s
real 0m1.631s
real 0m1.632s
real 0m1.632s
After:
real 0m1.610s
real 0m1.609s
real 0m1.610s
real 0m1.608s
real 0m1.607s
real 0m1.610s
real 0m1.609s
real 0m1.611s
real 0m1.608s
real 0m1.611s
where I'ld just take the averages and say 1.632 vs 1.610, which is just
over 1% peformance improvement.
So it's not in the noise, but it's not as big as I initially thought and
measured.
(That said, it obviously depends on how deep the working directory path is
too, and whether it is behind NFS or something else that might need to
cause more work to look up).

Make git recognize a new environment variable that prevents it from
chdir'ing up into specified directories when looking for a GIT_DIR.
Useful for avoiding slow network directories.
For example, I use git in an environment where homedirs are automounted
and "ls /home/nonexistent" takes about 9 seconds. Setting
GIT_CEILING_DIRS="/home" allows "git help -a" (for bash completion) and
"git symbolic-ref" (for my shell prompt) to run in a reasonable time.

git_config() only had a function parameter, but no callback data
parameter. This assumes that all callback functions only modify

With this patch, every callback gets a void * parameter, and it is hoped

'0640' is a group-readable but not group-writable regardless of
user's umask value. Values compatible with old Git versions are written
as they were before, for compatibility reasons. That is, "1" for
"group" and "2" for "everybody".
"git config core.sharedRepository 0xxx" is also handled.

An earlier commit d089ebaa (setup: sanitize absolute and funny paths) made
get_pathspec() aware of absolute paths, but with a botched interface that
forced the callers to count the resulting pathspecs in order to detect
an error of giving a path that is outside the work tree.
This fixes it, by dying inside the function.
We had ls-tree test that relied on a misfeature in the original
implementation of its pathspec handling. Leading slashes were silently
removed from them. However we allow giving absolute pathnames (people
want to cut and paste from elsewhere) that are inside work tree these
days, so a pathspec that begin with slash _should_ be treated as a full
path. The test is adjusted to match the updated rule for get_pathspec().
Earlier I mistook three tests given by Robin that they should succeed, but
these are attempts to add path outside work tree, which should fail
loudly. These tests also have been fixed.

This function tests whether there is a C: style prefix in the argument.
It returns always 0 on Unix.
With this functions a number of conditionals #ifdef __MINGW32__/#endif
can be removed.
The getcwd() replacement was simplified: It tried to elide the translation
of backslashes to slashes if there was no drive prfix, but this
optimization is wrong: We could be looking at an UNC path, which we also
want to translate.

We recognized the drive letter and colon, but we did not copy them. So far
this was not a problem since the only call site used the same pointer for

This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests.
E.g., it replaces code like this:
if (some_expression)
free (some_expression);
with the now-equivalent:
free (some_expression);
It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL)
to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for
so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test.
Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html
FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following:
git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \
perl -0x3b -pi -e \
's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s'
Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like
"if (x) { free (x); }". But that's ok, since there were none like
that in git sources.
Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can
produce syntactically invalid C code. That happens when the
affected "if"-statement has a matching "else".
E.g., it would transform this
if (x)
free (x);
else
foo ();
into this:
free (x);
else
foo ();
There were none of those here, either.
If you're interested in automating detection of the useless
tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib:
[it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S
option to make it detect free-like functions with different names]

builtin-mv: minimum fix to avoid losing files
git-add: adjust to the get_pathspec() changes.
Make blame accept absolute paths
setup: sanitize absolute and funny paths in get_pathspec()
sanitary_path_copy() is only used by prefix_path(). A helper function
is_dir_sep() is introduced that checks for both '/' and '\\' on Windows.
Note that the remaining checks for '/' in prefix_path() don't need to
to be converted to is_dir_sep() since they operate on the sanitized path.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
The prefix_path() function called from get_pathspec() is
responsible for translating list of user-supplied pathspecs to
list of pathspecs that is relative to the root of the work
tree. When working inside a subdirectory, the user-supplied
pathspecs are taken to be relative to the current subdirectory.
Among special path components in pathspecs, we used to accept
and interpret only "." ("the directory", meaning a no-op) and
".." ("up one level") at the beginning. Everything else was
passed through as-is.
For example, if you are in Documentation/ directory of the
project, you can name Documentation/howto/maintain-git.txt as:
howto/maintain-git.txt
../Documentation/howto/maitain-git.txt
../././Documentation/howto/maitain-git.txt
but not as:
howto/./maintain-git.txt
$(pwd)/howto/maintain-git.txt
This patch updates prefix_path() in several ways:
- If the pathspec is not absolute, prefix (i.e. the current
subdirectory relative to the root of the work tree, with
terminating slash, if not empty) and the pathspec is
concatenated first and used in the next step. Otherwise,
that absolute pathspec is used in the next step.
- Then special path components "." (no-op) and ".." (up one
level) are interpreted to simplify the path. It is an error
to have too many ".." to cause the intermediate result to
step outside of the input to this step.
- If the original pathspec was not absolute, the result from
the previous step is the resulting "sanitized" pathspec.
Otherwise, the result from the previous step is still
absolute, and it is an error if it does not begin with the
directory that corresponds to the root of the work tree. The
directory is stripped away from the result and is returned.
- In any case, the resulting pathspec in the array
get_pathspec() returns omit the ones that caused errors.
With this patch, the last two examples also behave as expected.
