2023-03-06bundle: don't blindly apply prefix_filename() to "-"Junio C Hamano1-0/+7
A user can specify a filename to a command from the command line, either as the value given to a command line option, or a command line argument. When it is given as a relative filename, in the user's mind, it is relative to the directory "git" was started from, but by the time the filename is used, "git" would almost always have chdir()'ed up to the root level of the working tree. The given filename, if it is relative, needs to be prefixed with the path to the current directory, and it typically is done by calling prefix_filename() helper function. For commands that can also take "-" to use the standard input or the standard output, however, this needs to be done with care. "git bundle create" uses the next word on the command line as the output filename, and can take "-" to mean "write to the standard output". It blindly called prefix_filename(), so running it in a subdirectory did not quite work as expected. Introduce a new helper, prefix_filename_except_for_dash(), and use it to help "git bundle create" codepath.

2020-12-12abspath: add a function to resolve paths with missing componentsbrian m. carlson1-18/+46
Currently, we have a function to resolve paths, strbuf_realpath. This function canonicalizes paths like realpath(3), but permits a trailing component to be absent from the file system. In other words, this is the behavior of the GNU realpath(1) without any arguments. In the future, we'll need this same behavior, except that we want to allow for any number of missing trailing components, which is the behavior of GNU realpath(1) with the -m option. This is useful because we'll want to canonicalize a path that may point to a not yet present path under the .git directory. For example, a user may want to know where an arbitrary ref would be stored if it existed in the file system. Let's refactor strbuf_realpath to move most of the code to an internal function and then pass it two flags to control its behavior. We'll add a strbuf_realpath_forgiving function that has our new behavior, and leave strbuf_realpath with the older, stricter behavior.

2020-03-10real_path: remove unsafe APIAlexandr Miloslavskiy1-7/+1
Returning a shared buffer invites very subtle bugs due to reentrancy or multi-threading, as demonstrated by the previous patch. There was an unfinished effort to abolish this [1]. Let's finally rid of `real_path()`, using `strbuf_realpath()` instead. This patch uses a local `strbuf` for most places where `real_path()` was previously called. However, two places return the value of `real_path()` to the caller. For them, a `static` local `strbuf` was added, effectively pushing the problem one level higher: read_gitfile_gently() get_superproject_working_tree() [1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/1480964316-99305-1-git-send-email-bmwill@google.com/ Signed-off-by: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-03-21prefix_filename: simplify windows #ifdefJeff King1-9/+6
The prefix_filename function used to do an early return when there was no prefix on non-Windows platforms, but always allocated on Windows so that it could call convert_slashes(). Now that the function always allocates, we can unify the logic and make convert_slashes() the only conditional part.

2017-03-21prefix_filename: return newly allocated stringJeff King1-6/+4
The prefix_filename() function returns a pointer to static storage, which makes it easy to use dangerously. We already fixed one buggy caller in hash-object recently, and the calls in apply.c are suspicious (I didn't dig in enough to confirm that there is a bug, but we call the function once in apply_all_patches() and then again indirectly from parse_chunk()). Let's make it harder to get wrong by allocating the return value. For simplicity, we'll do this even when the prefix is empty (and we could just return the original file pointer). That will cause us to allocate sometimes when we wouldn't otherwise need to, but this function isn't called in performance critical code-paths (and it already _might_ allocate on any given call, so a caller that cares about performance is questionable anyway). The downside is that the callers need to remember to free() the result to avoid leaking. Most of them already used xstrdup() on the result, so we know they are OK. The remainder have been converted to use free() as appropriate. I considered retaining a prefix_filename_unsafe() for cases where we know the static lifetime is OK (and handling the cleanup is awkward). This is only a handful of cases, though, and it's not worth the mental energy in worrying about whether the "unsafe" variant is OK to use in any situation.

2017-03-21prefix_filename: drop length parameterJeff King1-1/+3
This function takes the prefix as a ptr/len pair, but in every caller the length is exactly strlen(ptr). Let's simplify the interface and just take the string. This saves callers specifying it (and in some cases handling a NULL prefix). In a handful of cases we had the length already without calling strlen, so this is technically slower. But it's not likely to matter (after all, if the prefix is non-empty we'll allocate and copy it into a buffer anyway).

2017-03-08real_pathdup(): fix callsites that wanted it to die on errorJohannes Schindelin1-2/+2
In 4ac9006f832 (real_path: have callers use real_pathdup and strbuf_realpath, 2016-12-12), we changed the xstrdup(real_path()) pattern to use real_pathdup() directly. The problem with this change is that real_path() calls strbuf_realpath() with die_on_error = 1 while real_pathdup() calls it with die_on_error = 0. Meaning that in cases where real_path() causes Git to die() with an error message, real_pathdup() is silent and returns NULL instead. The callers, however, are ill-prepared for that change, as they expect the return value to be non-NULL (and otherwise the function died with an appropriate error message). Fix this by extending real_pathdup()'s signature to accept the die_on_error flag and simply pass it through to strbuf_realpath(), and then adjust all callers after a careful audit whether they would handle NULLs well.

2016-12-22real_path: canonicalize directory separators in root partsJohannes Sixt1-12/+17
When an absolute path is resolved, resolution begins at the first path component after the root part. The root part is just copied verbatim, because it must not be inspected for symbolic links. For POSIX paths, this is just the initial slash, but on Windows, the root part has the forms c:\ or \\server\share. We do want to canonicalize the back-slashes in the root part because these parts are compared to the result of getcwd(), which does return a fully canonicalized path. Factor out a helper that splits off the root part, and have it canonicalize the copied part. This change was prompted because t1504-ceiling-dirs.sh caught a breakage in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES handling on Windows.

Some buffers created with PATH_MAX length are not checked when being written, and can overflow if PATH_MAX is not big enough to hold the path. Replace those buffers by strbufs so that their size is automatically grown if necessary. They are created as static local variables to avoid reallocating memory on each call. Note that prefix_filename() returns this static buffer so each callers should copy or use the string immediately (this is currently true).

Throughout git, it is assumed that the WIN32 preprocessor symbol is defined on native Windows setups (mingw and msvc) and not on Cygwin. On Cygwin, most of the time git can pretend this is just another Unix machine, and Windows-specific magic is generally counterproductive. Unfortunately Cygwin *does* define the WIN32 symbol in some headers.

10c4c88 (Allow add_path() to add non-existent directories to the path, 2008-07-21) introduced get_pwd_cwd() function in order to favor $PWD when getenv("PWD") and getcwd() refer to the same directory but are different strings (e.g. the former gives a nicer looking name via a symbolic link to an uglier looking automounted path). The function tried to determine if two directories are the same by running stat(2) on both and comparing ino/dev fields. Unfortunately, stat() does not fill any ino or dev fields in msysgit. But there is a telltale: both ino and dev are 0 when they are not filled correctly, so let's be extra cautious.

2010-10-03Fix 'clone' failure at DOS root directory.Eric Sunshine1-1/+5
Cloning via relative path fails for a project residing immediately under the root directory of a DOS drive. For instance, for project c:/foo, issuing "cd c:/" followed by "git clone foo bar" fails with error "Unable to find remote helper for 'c'". The problem is caused by make_nonrelative_path() incorrectly returning c://foo rather than c:/foo for input "foo". The bogus path c://foo is misinterpreted by transport_get() as a URL with unrecognized protocol "c", hence the missing remote helper error.

This is a problem if the argument is, for example, "../libexec/git-core", and that "../libexec" does not exist. Since the resolution of symbolic links is not required for elements in PATH, we can fall back to using make_nonrelative_path(), which simply prepends $PWD to the path.
