clone: Supply the right commit hash to post-checkout when -b is used

When we use -b <branch>, we may checkout something else than what the
remote's HEAD references, but we still used remote_head to supply the
new ref value to the post-checkout hook, which is wrong.

So instead of using remote_head to find the value to be passed to the
post-checkout hook, we have to use our_head_points_at, which is always
correctly setup, even if -b is not used.

This also fixes a segfault when "clone -b <branch>" is used with a
remote repo that doesn't have a valid HEAD, as in such a case
remote_head is NULL, but we still tried to access it.

     specify a branch to merge. We can't use the configured
     one because it applies to the default remote.

  5. We fetched from a specified remote, and a refspec was
     given, but it ended up not fetching anything (this is
     actually hard to do; if the refspec points to a remote
     branch and it doesn't exist, then fetch will fail and
     we never make it to this code path. But if you provide

not encountered.  The conservative choice has been made to set NO_MMAP in
the Makefile to avoid this flaw.  The GNU C compiler does not produce this
behavior.

The segfault happens in refs.c:read_ref_at().  The mmap succeeds, and the
loop is executed properly until rec is rewound into the first line (reflog
entry) of the file.  The segfault is caught by test 28 of
t1400-update-ref.sh which fails when 'git rev-parse --verify "master@{May 25

Ramsay Jones [Thu, 8 Oct 2009 15:33:31 +0000 (16:33 +0100)] 
Fix the exit code of MSVC build scripts on cygwin

During an MSVC build on cygwin, the make program did not notice
when the compiler or linker exited with an error. This was caused
by the scripts exiting with the value returned by system() directly.

On POSIX-like systems, such as cygwin, the return value of system()
has the exit code of the executed command encoded in the first byte
(ie the value is shifted up by 8 bits). This allows the bottom
7 bits to contain the signal number of a terminated process, while
the eighth bit indicates whether a core-dump was produced. (A value
of -1 indicates that the command failed to execute.)

The make program, however, expects the exit code to be encoded in the
bottom byte. Futhermore, it apparently masks off and ignores anything
in the upper bytes.

However, these scripts are (naturally) intended to be used on the
windows platform, where we can not assume POSIX-like semantics from
a perl implementation (eg ActiveState). So, in general, we can not
assume that shifting the return value right by eight will get us
the exit code.

In order to improve portability, we assume that a zero return from
system() indicates success, whereas anything else indicates failure.
Since we don't need to know the exact exit code from the compiler
or linker, we simply exit with 0 (success) or 1 (failure).

15 years agoFix MSVC build on cygwin
Ramsay Jones [Thu, 8 Oct 2009 15:21:44 +0000 (16:21 +0100)] 
Fix MSVC build on cygwin

In the MSVC section of the Makefile, BASIC_CFLAGS is set to a
value which contains the string "-DWIN32-D_CONSOLE". This results
in a (single) malformed -Define being passed to the compiler.
At least on my cygwin installation, the msvc compiler seems to
ignore this parameter, without issuing an error or warning, and
results in the WIN32 and _CONSOLE macros being undefined. This
breaks the build.

In order to fix the build, we simply insert a space between the
two -Define parameters, "-DWIN32" and "-D_CONSOLE", as originally
intended.

has showbranch.default defined, we used to rely on the fact that our
handcrafted option parsing loop never looked at av[0].

The array of default strings had the first real command line argument in
default_arg[0], but the option parser wanted to look at the array starting
at av[1], so we assigned the address of -1th element to av to force the
loop start working from default_arg[0].

This no longer worked since 5734365 (show-branch: migrate to parse-options
API, 2009-05-21), as parse_options_start() saved the incoming &av[0] in
its ctx->out and later in parse_options_end() it did memmove to ctx->out
(with ctx->cpidx == 0), overwriting the memory before default_arg[] array.

I am not sure if this is a bug in parse_options(), or a bug in the caller,
and tonight I do not have enough concentration to figure out which.  In

Ramsay Jones [Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:49:24 +0000 (19:49 +0100)] 
Fix some printf format warnings

commit 51ea551 ("make sure byte swapping is optimal for git"
2009-08-18) introduced a "sane definition for ntohl()/htonl()"
for use on some GNU C platforms. Unfortunately, for some of
these platforms, this results in the introduction of a problem
which is essentially the reverse of a problem that commit 6e1c234
("Fix some warnings (on cygwin) to allow -Werror" 2008-07-3) was
intended to fix.

In particular, on platforms where the uint32_t type is defined
to be unsigned long, the return type of the new ntohl()/htonl()
is causing gcc to issue printf format warnings, such as:

    warning: long unsigned int format, unsigned int arg (arg 3)

(nine such warnings, covering six different files). The earlier
commit (6e1c234) needed to suppress these same warnings, except
that the types were in the opposite direction; namely the format
specifier ("%u") was 'unsigned int' and the argument type (ie the
return type of ntohl()) was 'long unsigned int' (aka uint32_t).

In order to suppress these warnings, the earlier commit used the
(C99) PRIu32 format specifier, since the definition of this macro
is suitable for use with the uint32_t type on that platform.
This worked because the return type of the (original) platform
ntohl()/htonl() functions was uint32_t.

In order to suppress these warnings, we change the return type of
the new byte swapping functions in the compat/bswap.h header file
from 'unsigned int' to uint32_t.

date version if they have done so, and the sequence number
otherwise.
