Smart push over HTTP: client side

2009-11-05T01:58:15Z

The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports the git-receive-pack service, and if so, runs git-send-pack in a pipe to dump the command and pack data as a single POST request. The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request starts. This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified. For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server. The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas created by human authors against text sources with the occasional small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image). The configuration option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this buffer if the default is not sufficient. For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked". This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack file locally. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

recv_sideband: Bands #2 and #3 always go to stderr

2009-03-11T06:23:02Z

This removes the last parameter of recv_sideband, by which the callers told which channel bands #2 and #3 should be written to. Sayeth Shawn Pearce: The definition of the streams in the current sideband protocol are rather well defined for the one protocol that uses it, fetch-pack/receive-pack: stream #1: pack data stream #2: stderr messages, progress, meant for tty stream #3: abort message, remote is dead, goodbye! Since both callers of the function passed 2 for the parameter, we hereby remove it and send bands #2 and #3 to stderr explicitly using fprintf. This has the nice side-effect that these two streams pass through our ANSI emulation layer on Windows. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

improve handling of sideband message display

2008-09-03T21:51:10Z

Currently the code looks for line break characters in order to prepend "remote: " to every line received as many lines can be sent in a single chunk. However the opposite might happen too, i.e. a single message line split amongst multiple chunks. This patch adds support for the later case to avoid displays like: remote: Compressing objeremote: cts: 100% (313/313), done. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

recv_sideband: Do not use ANSI escape sequence on dumb terminals.

2008-01-09T20:23:59Z

The "clear to end of line" sequence is used to nicely output the progress indicator without leaving garbage on the terminal. However, this works only on ANSI capable terminals. We use the same check as in color.c to find out whether the terminal supports this feature and use a workaround (a few spaces in a row) if it does not. [jc: as an old fashoned git myself, and given the fact that the possible prefix and suffix are small number of short constant strings, I actually prefer a simpler-and-more-stupid approach. This is with Nico's clean-up.] Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

fix display overlap between remote and local progress

2007-11-04T08:56:53Z

It is possible for the remote summary line to be displayed over the local progress display line, and therefore that local progress gets bumped to the next line. However, if the progress line is long enough, it might not be entirely overwritten by the remote summary line. This creates a messed up display such as: remote: Total 310 (delta 160), reused 178 (delta 112)iB/s Receiving objects: 100% (310/310), 379.98 KiB | 136 KiB/s, done. So we have to clear the screen line before displaying the remote message to make sure the local progress is not visible anymore on the first line. Yet some Git versions on the remote side might be sending updates to the same line and terminate it with \r, and a separate packet with a single \n might be sent later when the progress display is done. This means the screen line must *not* be cleared in that case. Since the sideband code already has to figure out line breaks in the received packet to properly prepend the "remote:" prefix, we can easily determine if the remote line about to be displayed is empty. Only when it is not then a proper suffix is inserted before the \r or \n to clear the end of the screen line. Also some magic constants related to the prefix length have been replaced with a variable, making it similar to the suffix length handling. Since gcc is smart enough to detect that the variable is constant there is no impact on the generated code. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

cope with multiple line breaks within sideband progress messages

2007-10-17T06:54:56Z

A single sideband packet may sometimes contain multiple lines of progress messages, but we prepend "remote: " only to the whole buffer which creates a messed up display in that case. Make sure that the "remote: " prefix is applied to every remote lines. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

atomic write for sideband remote messages

2006-10-11T18:13:01Z

It has been a few times that I ended up with such a confusing display: |remote: Generating pack... |remote: Done counting 17 objects. |remote: Result has 9 objects. |remote: Deltifying 9 objects. |remote: 100% (9/9) done |remote: Unpacking 9 objects |Total 9, written 9 (delta 8), reused 0 (delta 0) | 100% (9/9) done The confusion can be avoided in most cases by writing the remote message in one go to prevent interleacing with local messages. The buffer declaration has been moved inside recv_sideband() to avoid extra string copies. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Move sideband server side support into reusable form.

2006-09-10T20:36:50Z

The server side support; this is just the very low level, and the caller needs to know which band it wants to send things out. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano (cherry picked from b786552b67878c7780c50def4c069d46dc54efbe commit)

Move sideband client side support into reusable form.

2006-09-10T20:36:35Z

This moves the receiver side of the sideband support from fetch-clone.c to sideband.c and its header file, so that archiver protocol can use it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
