[PATCH 1/2] setup.c: initialize the_repository correctly in all cases

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

 



There are many ways for any command to access a git repository:

- most of them will try to discover the .git dir via
  setup_git_directory() and friends

- the server side programs already know where the repo is and prepare
  with enter_repo()

- special commands that deal with repo creation (init/clone) use
  init_db() once the new repo is ready for access.

- somebody accesses $GIT_DIR before any of above functions are called
  and accidentally sets up a git repository by set_git_dir() alone

"the_repository" is partially set up via set_git_dir() at some point
in all four cases. The hash algorithm though is configured later after
.git/config is read.

So far proper repo initialization is done only for the first case [1].
The second case is not covered (but that's fine [3]). The third case
was found and worked around in [2]. The fourth case is a buggy one,
which should be fixed already by jk/no-looking-at-dotgit-outside-repo
and never happens again.

This patch makes sure all cases initialize the hash algorithm in
the_repository correctly. Both second and third cases must run
check_repo_format() before "entering" it. Eventually we probably just
rename this function to init_repo() or something.

[1] 78a6766802 (Integrate hash algorithm support with repo setup -
    2017-11-12)

[2] e26f7f19b6 (repository: pre-initialize hash algo pointer -
    2018-01-19)

[3] the reason server side is still running ok with no hash algo
    before [2] is because the programs that use enter_repo() do very
    little then spawn a new program (like pack-objects or
    upload-archive) to do the heavy lifting. These programs already
    use setup_git_dir..()
