[PATCH v8 08/30] fsmonitor-settings: remote repos on macOS are incompatible

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

 



From: Jeff Hostetler <jeffhost@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Teach Git to detect remote working directories on macOS and mark them as
incompatible with FSMonitor.

With this, `git fsmonitor--daemon run` will error out with a message
like it does for bare repos.

Client commands, like `git status`, will not attempt to start the daemon.

+/*
+ * Remote working directories are problematic for FSMonitor.
+ *
+ * The underlying file system on the server machine and/or the remote
+ * mount type (NFS, SAMBA, etc.) dictates whether notification events
+ * are available at all to remote client machines.
+ *
+ * Kernel differences between the server and client machines also
+ * dictate the how (buffering, frequency, de-dup) the events are
+ * delivered to client machine processes.
+ *
+ * A client machine (such as a laptop) may choose to suspend/resume
+ * and it is unclear (without lots of testing) whether the watcher can
+ * resync after a resume.  We might be able to treat this as a normal
+ * "events were dropped by the kernel" event and do our normal "flush
+ * and resync" --or-- we might need to close the existing (zombie?)
+ * notification fd and create a new one.
+ *
+ * In theory, the above issues need to be addressed whether we are
+ * using the Hook or IPC API.
+ *
+ * For the builtin FSMonitor, we create the Unix domain socket for the
+ * IPC in the .git directory.  If the working directory is remote,
+ * then the socket will be created on the remote file system.  This
+ * can fail if the remote file system does not support UDS file types
+ * (e.g. smbfs to a Windows server) or if the remote kernel does not
+ * allow a non-local process to bind() the socket.  (These problems
+ * could be fixed by moving the UDS out of the .git directory and to a
+ * well-known local directory on the client machine, but care should
+ * be taken to ensure that $HOME is actually local and not a managed
+ * file share.)
+ *
+ * So (for now at least), mark remote working directories as
+ * incompatible.
