[PATCH v3] Verify index file before we opportunistically update it

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Before we proceed to "opportunistic update" we must verify that the
current index file is the same as the one that we read before. There
is a possible race if we don't do this:

  1. process A calls git-rebase

  2. process A applies 1st commit

  3. process B calls git-status

  4. process B reads index

  5. process A applies 2nd commit

  6. process B takes the lock, then overwrites process A's changes.

  7. process A applies 3rd commit

As an end result the 3rd commit will have a revert of the 2nd commit.
