It's partially less scary (good cleanups that help make things clearer, your comment about the code having been in a similar state once upon a time in patch 30), but in some ways even more scary (after reading through 30/30 and readily noticing a few missing areas and starting to dig and finding several more). > > I tested this in combination with his on-list series to add more > merge-ort testing: > https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.973.git.git.1614905738.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx/ > > I found a regression I'd caused in the merge-ort.c code with those > tests, fixed here. See the comment in merge-ort.c in 30/30. I've read through the whole series now. It is nicely structured, and has lots of good cleanups. Unfortunately, there are also some clear regressions noted in my comments on both patches 6 and 30. I'm particularly worried with patch 30's basic plan; I think it'd be far safer to have the tree-walking default to returning canonicalized modes but allowing callers to request it be off. I think each caller is going to need someone to audit the particular path for whether it can be safely switched over to using raw modes on a case-by-case basis and with the introduction of new tests. Some callers probably aren't worth the effort (e.g. merge-recursive). Others might be, but require a fair amount of work or other trade-offs. I'm split about whether merge-ort should consider it. Using raw_modes might allow me to fix one funny corner case issue in merge-ort that to my knowledge no user has ever hit in practice, but I'm not sure fixing that testcase is worth it. To fix it, we'd also have to allow writing tree objects with non-canonicalized modes to the object store (for a "temporary" tree defining the virtual merge-base); that means new objects with "broken"/"non-canonicalized" modes being written that users can access. > Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (30): > diff.c: remove redundant canon_mode() call > notes & match-trees: use name_entry's "pathlen" member > cache.h: add a comment to object_type() > tree-walk.h: add object_type member to name_entry > tree-walk.c: migrate to using new "object_type" field when possible > cache.h: have base_name_compare() take "is tree?", not "mode" > tree-walk.h users: switch object_type(...) to new .object_type > tree.h: format argument lists of read_tree_recursive() users > tree.h users: format argument lists in archive.c > archive: get rid of 'stage' parameter > tree.h API: make read_tree_fn_t take an "enum object_type" > tree-walk.h users: migrate "p->mode &&" pattern > tree-walk.h users: refactor chained "mode" if/else into switch > tree-walk.h users: migrate miscellaneous "mode" to "object_type" > merge-tree tests: test for the mode comparison in same_entry() > merge-ort: correct reference to test in 62fdec17a11 > fsck.c: switch on "object_type" in fsck_walk_tree() > tree-walk.h users: use temporary variable(s) for "mode" > tree-walk.h API: formatting changes for subsequent commit > tree-walk.h API: rename get_tree_entry() to get_tree_entry_mode() > tree-walk.h API users: use "tmp" for mode in shift_tree_by() > tree-walk.h API: Add get_tree_entry_type() > tree-walk.h API: add a get_tree_entry_path() function > tree-walk.h API: document and format tree_entry_extract() > tree-entry.h API: rename tree_entry_extract() to > tree_entry_extract_mode() > tree-walk.h API: add a tree_entry_extract_all() function > tree-walk.h API: add a tree_entry_extract_type() function > tree-walk.h API users: rename "struct name_entry"'s "mode" to > "raw_mode" > tree.h API users: rename read_tree_fn_t's "mode" to "raw_mode" > tree-walk.h API: move canon_mode() back out of decode_tree_entry() > > archive.c | 51 +++++++++++++----------- > blame.c | 9 +++-- > builtin/checkout.c | 7 +++- > builtin/fast-import.c | 8 ++-- > builtin/grep.c | 6 +-- > builtin/log.c | 7 ++-- > builtin/ls-files.c | 13 +++--- > builtin/ls-tree.c | 18 ++++----- > builtin/merge-tree.c | 32 +++++++++------ > builtin/mktree.c | 4 +- > builtin/pack-objects.c | 6 +-- > builtin/reflog.c | 3 +- > builtin/rm.c | 2 +- > builtin/update-index.c | 7 +++- > cache-tree.c | 2 +- > cache.h | 11 ++++-- > combine-diff.c | 8 ++-- > delta-islands.c | 2 +- > diff.c | 2 +- > fsck.c | 23 +++++------ > http-push.c | 6 ++- > line-log.c | 2 +- > list-objects.c | 20 +++++++--- > match-trees.c | 52 ++++++++++++------------ > merge-ort.c | 34 ++++++++++------ > merge-recursive.c | 33 ++++++++-------- > notes.c | 15 +++---- > object-name.c | 7 ++-- > pack-bitmap-write.c | 8 ++-- > read-cache.c | 16 ++++---- > revision.c | 12 ++++-- > t/t4300-merge-tree.sh | 44 +++++++++++++++++++++ > tree-diff.c | 44 ++++++++++++--------- > tree-walk.c | 89 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- > tree-walk.h | 67 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- > tree.c | 19 +++++---- > tree.h | 5 ++- > unpack-trees.c | 30 ++++++++------ > walker.c | 22 ++++++----- > 39 files changed, 482 insertions(+), 264 deletions(-) > > -- > 2.31.0.rc0.126.g04f22c5b82 >
