This patch establishes a connection between a new file watcher daemon
and git. Each index file may have at most one file watcher attached to
it. The file watcher maintains a UNIX socket at
$GIT_DIR/index.watcher. Any process that has write access to $GIT_DIR
can talk to the file watcher.
A validation is performed after git connects to the file watcher to
make sure both sides have the same view. This is done by exchanging
the index signature (*) The file watcher keeps a copy of the signature
locally while git computes the signature from the index. If the
signatures do not match, something has gone wrong so both sides
reinitialize wrt. to file watching: the file watcher clears all
watches while git clears CE_WATCHED flags.
If the signatures match, we can trust the file watcher and git can
start asking questions that are not important to this patch.
This file watching thing is all about speed. So if the daemon is not
responding within 20ms (or even hanging), git moves on without it.
A note about per-repo vs global (or per-user) daemon approach. While I
implement per-repo daemon, this is actually implementation
details. Nothing can stop you from writing a global daemon that opens
unix sockets to many repos, e.g. to avoid hitting inotify's 128 user
instances limit.
If env variable GIT_NO_FILE_WATCHER is set, the file watcher is
ignored. 'WATC' extension is kept, but if the index is updated
(likely), it'll become invalid at the next connection.
(*) for current index versions, the signature is the index SHA-1
trailer. But it could be something else (e.g. v5 does not have SHA-1
trailer)
