Someone brought me a testcase where multiple git-clean invocations were
required to clean out unwanted files:
mkdir d{1,2}
touch d{1,2}/ut
touch d1/t && git add d1/t
With this setup, the user would need to run
git clean -ffd */ut
twice to delete both ut files.
A little testing showed some interesting variants:
* If only one of those two ut files existed (either one), then only one
clean command would be necessary.
* If both directories had tracked files, then only one git clean would
be necessary to clean both files.
* If both directories had no tracked files then the clean command above
would never clean either of the untracked files despite the pathspec
explicitly calling both of them out.
A bisect showed that the failure to clean out the files started with
commit cf424f5fd89b ("clean: respect pathspecs with "-d", 2014-03-10).
However, that pointed to a separate issue: while the "-d" flag was used
by the original user who showed me this problem, that flag should have
been irrelevant to this problem. Testing again without the "-d" flag
showed that the same buggy behavior exists without using that flag, and
has in fact existed since before cf424f5fd89b.
Add testcases showing that multiple untracked files within entirely
untracked directories cannot be cleaned when specifying these files to
git clean via pathspecs.

For a pathspec like 'foo/bar' comparing against a path named "foo/",
namelen will be 4, and match[namelen] will be 'b'. The correct location
of the directory separator is namelen-1.
The reason the code worked anyway was that the following code immediately
checked whether the first matchlen characters matched (which they do) and
then bailed and return MATCHED_RECURSIVELY anyway since wildmatch doesn't
have the ability to check if "name" can be matched as a directory (or
prefix) against the pathspec.

Even if a directory doesn't match a pathspec, it is possible, depending
on the precise pathspecs, that some file underneath it might. So we
special case and recurse into the directory for such situations. However,
we previously always added any untracked directory that we recursed into
to the list of untracked paths, regardless of whether the directory
itself matched the pathspec.
For the case of git-clean and a set of pathspecs of "dir/file" and "more",
this caused a problem because we'd end up with dir entries for both of
"dir"
"dir/file"
Then correct_untracked_entries() would try to helpfully prune duplicates
for us by removing "dir/file" since it's under "dir", leaving us with
"dir"
Since the original pathspec only had "dir/file", the only entry left
doesn't match and leaves nothing to be removed. (Note that if only one
pathspec was specified, e.g. only "dir/file", then the common_prefix_len
optimizations in fill_directory would cause us to bypass this problem,
making it appear in simple tests that we could correctly remove manually
specified pathspecs.)
Fix this by actually checking whether the directory we are about to add
to the list of dir entries actually matches the pathspec; only do this
matching check after we have already returned from recursing into the
directory.

The specific checks done in match_pathspec_item for the DO_MATCH_SUBMODULE
case are useful for other cases which have nothing to do with submodules.
Rename this constant; a subsequent commit will make use of this change.

For git clean, if a directory is entirely untracked and the user did not
specify -d (corresponding to DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO), then we usually do
not want to remove that directory and thus do not recurse into it.
However, if the user manually specified specific (or even globbed) paths
somewhere under that directory to remove, then we need to recurse into
the directory to make sure we remove the relevant paths under that
directory as the user requested.
Note that this does not mean that the recursed-into directory will be
added to dir->entries for later removal; as of a few commits earlier in
this series, there is another more strict match check that is run after
returning from a recursed-into directory before deciding to add it to the
list of entries. Therefore, this will only result in files underneath
the given directory which match one of the pathspecs being added to the
entries list.
Two particular considerations for this patch:
* If we want to only recurse into a directory when it is specifically
matched rather than matched-via-glob (e.g. '*.c'), then we could do
so via making the final non-zero return in match_pathspec_item be
MATCHED_RECURSIVELY instead of MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC.
(See final patch of this RFC series for details; note that the
relative order of MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC and
MATCHED_RECURSIVELY are important for such a change.))
* There is a growing amount of logic in read_directory_recursive() for
deciding whether to recurse into a subdirectory. However, there is
a comment immediately preceding this logic that says to recurse if
instructed by treat_path(). It may be better for the logic in
read_directory_recursive() to be moved to treat_path() (or another
function it calls, such as treat_directory()), but I did not feel
strongly about this and just left the logic where it was while
adding to it. Do others have strong opinions on this?

The way match_pathspec_item() handles names and pathspecs with trailing
slash characters, in conjunction with special options like
DO_MATCH_DIRECTORY and DO_MATCH_LEADING_PATHSPEC were non-obvious, and
broken until this patch series. Add a table in a comment explaining the
intent of how these work.

It appears that the wrong option got included in the list of what will
cause git-clean to actually take action. Correct the list.

The -d flag pre-dated git-clean's ability to have paths specified. As
such, the default for git-clean was to only remove untracked files in
the current directory, and -d existed to allow it to recurse into
subdirectories.
The interaction of paths and the -d option appears to not have been
carefully considered, as evidenced by numerous bugs and a dearth of
tests covering such pairings in the testsuite. The definition turns out
to be important, so let's look at some of the various ways one could
interpret the -d option:
A) Without -d, only look in subdirectories which contain tracked
files under them; with -d, also look in subdirectories which
are untracked for files to clean.
B) Without specified paths from the user for us to delete, we need to
have some kind of default, so...without -d, only look in
subdirectories which contain tracked files under them; with -d,
also look in subdirectories which are untracked for files to clean.
The important distinction here is that choice B says that the presence
or absence of '-d' is irrelevant if paths are specified. The logic
behind option B is that if a user explicitly asked us to clean a
specified pathspec, then we should clean anything that matches that
pathspec. Some examples may clarify. Should
git clean -f untracked_dir/file
remove untracked_dir/file or not? It seems crazy not to, but a strict
reading of option A says it shouldn't be removed. How about
git clean -f untracked_dir/file1 tracked_dir/file2
or
git clean -f untracked_dir_1/file1 untracked_dir_2/file2
? Should it remove either or both of these files? Should it require
multiple runs to remove both the files listed? (If this sounds like a
crazy question to even ask, see the commit message of "t7300: Add some
testcases showing failure to clean specified pathspecs" added earlier in
this patch series.) What if -ffd were used instead of -f -- should that
allow these to be removed? Should it take multiple invocations with
-ffd? What if a glob (such as '*tracked*') were used instead of
spelling out the directory names? What if the filenames involved globs,
such as
git clean -f '*.o'
or
git clean -f '*/*.o'
?
The current documentation actually suggests a definition that is
slightly different than choice A, and the implementation prior to this
series provided something radically different than either choices A or
B. (The implementation, though, was clearly just buggy). There may be
other choices as well. However, for almost any given choice of
definition for -d that I can think of, some of the examples above will
appear buggy to the user. The only case that doesn't have negative
surprises is choice B: treat a user-specified path as a request to clean
all untracked files which match that path specification, including
recursing into any untracked directories.
Change the documentation and basic implementation to use this
definition.
There were two regression tests that indirectly depended on the current
implementation, but neither was about subdirectory handling. These two
tests were introduced in commit 5b7570cfb41c ("git-clean: add tests for
relative path", 2008-03-07) which was solely created to add coverage for
the changes in commit fb328947c8e ("git-clean: correct printing relative
path", 2008-03-07). Both tests specified a directory that happened to
have an untracked subdirectory, but both were only checking that the
resulting printout of a file that was removed was shown with a relative
path. Update these tests appropriately.

Users expect files in a nested git repository to be left alone unless
sufficiently forced (with two -f's). Unfortunately, in certain
circumstances, git would delete both tracked (and possibly dirty) files
and untracked files within a nested repository. To explain how this
happens, let's contrast a couple cases. First, take the following
example setup (which assumes we are already within a git repo):
git init nested
cd nested
>tracked
git add tracked
git commit -m init
>untracked
cd ..
In this setup, everything works as expected; running 'git clean -fd'
will result in fill_directory() returning the following paths:
nested/
nested/tracked
nested/untracked
and then correct_untracked_entries() would notice this can be compressed
to
nested/
and then since "nested/" is a directory, we would call
remove_dirs("nested/", ...), which would
check is_nonbare_repository_dir() and then decide to skip it.
However, if someone also creates an ignored file:
>nested/ignored
then running 'git clean -fd' would result in fill_directory() returning
the same paths:
nested/
nested/tracked
nested/untracked
but correct_untracked_entries() will notice that we had ignored entries
under nested/ and thus simplify this list to
nested/tracked
nested/untracked
Since these are not directories, we do not call remove_dirs() which was
the only place that had the is_nonbare_repository_dir() safety check --
resulting in us deleting both the untracked file and the tracked (and
possibly dirty) file.
One possible fix for this issue would be walking the parent directories
of each path and checking if they represent nonbare repositories, but
that would be wasteful. Even if we added caching of some sort, it's
still a waste because we should have been able to check that "nested/"
represented a nonbare repository before even descending into it in the
first place. Add a DIR_SKIP_NESTED_GIT flag to dir_struct.flags and use
it to prevent fill_directory() and friends from descending into nested
git repos.
With this change, we also modify two regression tests added in commit
91479b9c72f1 ("t7300: add tests to document behavior of clean and nested
git", 2015-06-15). That commit, nor its series, nor the six previous
iterations of that series on the mailing list discussed why those tests
coded the expectation they did. In fact, it appears their purpose was
simply to test _existing_ behavior to make sure that the performance
changes didn't change the behavior. However, these two tests directly
contradicted the manpage's claims that two -f's were required to delete
files/directories under a nested git repository. While one could argue
that the user gave an explicit path which matched files/directories that
were within a nested repository, there's a slippery slope that becomes
very difficult for users to understand once you go down that route (e.g.
what if they specified "git clean -f -d '*.c'"?) It would also be hard
to explain what the exact behavior was; avoid such problems by making it
really simple.
Also, clean up some grammar errors describing this functionality in the
git-clean manpage.
Finally, there is one somewhat related bug which this patch does not
fix, coming from the opposite angle. If the user runs
git clean -ffd
to force deletion of untracked nested repositories, and within an
untracked nested repo the user has ignored files (according to the inner
OR outer repositories' .gitignore), then not only will those ignored
files be left alone but the .git/ subdirectory of the nested repo will
be left alone too. I am not completely sure if this should be
considered a bug (though it seems like it since the lack of the
untracked file would result in the .git/ subdirectory being deleted),
but in any event it is very minor compared to accidentally deleting user
data and I did not dive into it.

We briefly mentioned this "ignored file in a nested repo fools 'git
clean -d'" issue in an unrelated thread as well, where Philip
suggested that the gitignore of the outer repository should not have
any effect on the nested repository. I'm inclined to agree.
https://public-inbox.org/git/e221aaf8-7d0b-6feb-3f58-1e9e4382939b@iee.email/
Now, 'git clean -X' is supposed to "Remove only files ignored by
Git.". I'm not entirely sure what 'git clean -ffdX' is supposed to do
(or whether it makes any sense in the first place), but it does delete
files in the nested repository that are ignored only in the outer
repository, both tracked (and possibly dirty) and untracked, even with
this patch series. Without this series '-fdX' is just as bad, but
with this patch (i.e. by not descending into nested repositories)
'-fdX' becomes sensible and leaves the nested repository alone.

cmd_clean() had the following code structure:
struct strbuf abs_path = STRBUF_INIT;
for_each_string_list_item(item, &del_list) {
strbuf_addstr(&abs_path, prefix);
strbuf_addstr(&abs_path, item->string);
PROCESS(&abs_path);
strbuf_reset(&abs_path);
}
where I've elided a bunch of unnecessary details and PROCESS(&abs_path)
represents a big chunk of code rather than an actual function call. One
piece of PROCESS was:
if (lstat(abs_path.buf, &st))
continue;
which would cause the strbuf_reset() to be missed -- meaning that the
next path to be handled would have two paths concatenated. This path
used to use die_errno() instead of continue prior to commit 396049e5fb62
("git-clean: refactor git-clean into two phases", 2013-06-25), but my

corruption in case it is possible to reach this continue statement.

I wonder whether it would be safer to call strbuf_reset() at the start
of each loop iteration instead of before 'continue'. That way we
wouldn't have to worry about another 'continue' statements forgetting
about it.
It probably doesn't really matter in this particular case (considering
that it's potentially dead code to begin with), but have a look at
e.g. diff.c:show_stats() and its several strbuf_reset(&out) calls
preceeding continue statements.

Ooh, I like that idea. I think I'll apply that here. I'll probably
leave diff.c:show_stats() as #leftoverbits for someone else, though I
really like the idea of fixing up other issues like this as you
suggest.

Well, to be fair, only the last three patches were about that issue.
The first 9 were about the other issues. It's just that your testcase
reminded me of my old series and gave me another nudge to dig it out
and see if it helped with your problem. I had to rebase it and look
back over it, and then found it didn't help with your problem, but by
then I had refamiliarized myself with the code so...

Gah, I should know that any patch series I submitted from a year and a
half ago probably made that mistake. I've mostly trained myself out
of it now, but I certainly hadn't back then.
Thanks for pointing it out; will fix.

NOTE: This series builds on sg/clean-nested-repo-with-ignored, as it
(among other things) modifies his testcase from expect_failure
to expect_success. Also, Peff is probably the only one who
remembers v1 (and even he may have forgotten it): v1 was posted
a year and a half ago.
This patch series fixes a few issues with git-clean:
* Failure to clean when multiple pathspecs are specified, reported both
in April 2018[1] and again in May 2019[2].
* Failure to preserve both tracked and untracked files within a nested
Git repository reported a few weeks ago by SZEDER[3].

Changes since v2:
* Removed the RFC label
* Fixed up a few things SZEDER pointed out in v2 -- some commit
message improvements, and an extra safety precaution for the
final patch.
Stuff I'd like reviewer to focus on:
* Read the (long) commit messages for patches 9 & 10; do folks agree
with my declaration of "correct" behavior and my changes to the
few regression tests in those patches?

Also, clean up some grammar errors describing this functionality in the

- Finally, there is one somewhat related bug which this patch does not
- fix, coming from the opposite angle. If the user runs

- untracked nested repo the user has ignored files (according to the inner
- OR outer repositories' .gitignore), then not only will those ignored
- files be left alone but the .git/ subdirectory of the nested repo will
- be left alone too. I am not completely sure if this should be

Someone brought me a testcase where multiple git-clean invocations were
required to clean out unwanted files:
mkdir d{1,2}
touch d{1,2}/ut
touch d1/t && git add d1/t
With this setup, the user would need to run
git clean -ffd */ut
twice to delete both ut files.
A little testing showed some interesting variants:
* If only one of those two ut files existed (either one), then only one
clean command would be necessary.
* If both directories had tracked files, then only one git clean would
be necessary to clean both files.
* If both directories had no tracked files then the clean command above
would never clean either of the untracked files despite the pathspec
explicitly calling both of them out.
A bisect showed that the failure to clean out the files started with
commit cf424f5fd89b ("clean: respect pathspecs with "-d", 2014-03-10).
However, that pointed to a separate issue: while the "-d" flag was used
by the original user who showed me this problem, that flag should have
been irrelevant to this problem. Testing again without the "-d" flag
showed that the same buggy behavior exists without using that flag, and
has in fact existed since before cf424f5fd89b.
Add testcases showing that multiple untracked files within entirely
untracked directories cannot be cleaned when specifying these files to
git clean via pathspecs.

Looks like d1 and d2 are new directories and the paths we see in the
test are the only ones that are involved (i.e. we do not rely on any
leftover cruft in d[12]/ from previous tests). If so, perhaps it is
easier to follow by starting the tests with "rm -fr d1 d2 &&" or
something to assure the readers of the script (not this patch, but
the resulting file down the road) about the isolation? The same
comment applies to the remainder.
Also, you talked about tracked paths in the proposed log message; do
they not participate in reproducing the issue(s)?
Thanks.

If there is only one directory which has no tracked files, then the
user can clean up the files -- but confusingly, they have to issue the
same git-clean command multiple times. If multiple directories have
no untracked files, git-clean will never clean them out. I probably
didn't do a very good job explaining that although I started with the
case with one tracked, that I view the case without any as the more
general case -- and that solving it solves both problems. I could
probably make that clearer in the commit message. (Or maybe just add
more testcases even if slightly duplicative, I guess.)

My comment/puzzlement indeed was the lack of any tracked file in
your tests, even though the log message did talk about one's
presence making a difference in the outcome.

For a pathspec like 'foo/bar' comparing against a path named "foo/",
namelen will be 4, and match[namelen] will be 'b'. The correct location
of the directory separator is namelen-1.
The reason the code worked anyway was that the following code immediately
checked whether the first matchlen characters matched (which they do) and
then bailed and return MATCHED_RECURSIVELY anyway since wildmatch doesn't
have the ability to check if "name" can be matched as a directory (or
prefix) against the pathspec.

And the reason why name[namelen-1] may not be slash, in which case
your new code makes offset 0, is because we need to handle what
case? When path is "foo" (not "foo/")? Just makes me wonder why
this callee allows the caller(s) to be inconsistent, sometimes
including the trailing slash in <name, nemelen> tuple, sometimes
not.

Even if a directory doesn't match a pathspec, it is possible, depending
on the precise pathspecs, that some file underneath it might. So we
special case and recurse into the directory for such situations. However,
we previously always added any untracked directory that we recursed into
to the list of untracked paths, regardless of whether the directory
itself matched the pathspec.
For the case of git-clean and a set of pathspecs of "dir/file" and "more",
this caused a problem because we'd end up with dir entries for both of
"dir"
"dir/file"
Then correct_untracked_entries() would try to helpfully prune duplicates
for us by removing "dir/file" since it's under "dir", leaving us with
"dir"
Since the original pathspec only had "dir/file", the only entry left
doesn't match and leaves nothing to be removed. (Note that if only one
pathspec was specified, e.g. only "dir/file", then the common_prefix_len
optimizations in fill_directory would cause us to bypass this problem,
making it appear in simple tests that we could correctly remove manually
specified pathspecs.)
Fix this by actually checking whether the directory we are about to add
to the list of dir entries actually matches the pathspec; only do this
matching check after we have already returned from recursing into the
directory.

The specific checks done in match_pathspec_item for the DO_MATCH_SUBMODULE
case are useful for other cases which have nothing to do with submodules.
Rename this constant; a subsequent commit will make use of this change.

For git clean, if a directory is entirely untracked and the user did not
specify -d (corresponding to DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO), then we usually do
not want to remove that directory and thus do not recurse into it.
However, if the user manually specified specific (or even globbed) paths
somewhere under that directory to remove, then we need to recurse into
the directory to make sure we remove the relevant paths under that
directory as the user requested.
Note that this does not mean that the recursed-into directory will be
added to dir->entries for later removal; as of a few commits earlier in
this series, there is another more strict match check that is run after
returning from a recursed-into directory before deciding to add it to the
list of entries. Therefore, this will only result in files underneath
the given directory which match one of the pathspecs being added to the
entries list.
Two notes of potential interest to future readers:
* If we wanted to only recurse into a directory when it is specifically
matched rather than matched-via-glob (e.g. '*.c'), then we could do
so via making the final non-zero return in match_pathspec_item be
MATCHED_RECURSIVELY instead of MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC.
(Note that the relative order of MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC
and MATCHED_RECURSIVELY are important for such a change.) I was
leaving open that possibility while writing an RFC asking for the
behavior we want, but even though we don't want it, that knowledge
might help you understand the code flow better.
* There is a growing amount of logic in read_directory_recursive() for
deciding whether to recurse into a subdirectory. However, there is a
comment immediately preceding this logic that says to recurse if
instructed by treat_path(). It may be better for the logic in
read_directory_recursive() to ultimately be moved to treat_path() (or
another function it calls, such as treat_directory()), but I have
left that for someone else to tackle in the future.

Makes sense. To clean named paths in such a directory, we'd need an
option to recurse into it to find them, yet make sure the directory
itself does not get removed.

The way match_pathspec_item() handles names and pathspecs with trailing
slash characters, in conjunction with special options like
DO_MATCH_DIRECTORY and DO_MATCH_LEADING_PATHSPEC were non-obvious, and
broken until this patch series. Add a table in a comment explaining the
intent of how these work.

The -d flag pre-dated git-clean's ability to have paths specified. As
such, the default for git-clean was to only remove untracked files in
the current directory, and -d existed to allow it to recurse into
subdirectories.
The interaction of paths and the -d option appears to not have been
carefully considered, as evidenced by numerous bugs and a dearth of
tests covering such pairings in the testsuite. The definition turns out
to be important, so let's look at some of the various ways one could
interpret the -d option:
A) Without -d, only look in subdirectories which contain tracked
files under them; with -d, also look in subdirectories which
are untracked for files to clean.
B) Without specified paths from the user for us to delete, we need to
have some kind of default, so...without -d, only look in
subdirectories which contain tracked files under them; with -d,
also look in subdirectories which are untracked for files to clean.
The important distinction here is that choice B says that the presence
or absence of '-d' is irrelevant if paths are specified. The logic
behind option B is that if a user explicitly asked us to clean a
specified pathspec, then we should clean anything that matches that
pathspec. Some examples may clarify. Should
git clean -f untracked_dir/file
remove untracked_dir/file or not? It seems crazy not to, but a strict
reading of option A says it shouldn't be removed. How about
git clean -f untracked_dir/file1 tracked_dir/file2
or
git clean -f untracked_dir_1/file1 untracked_dir_2/file2
? Should it remove either or both of these files? Should it require
multiple runs to remove both the files listed? (If this sounds like a
crazy question to even ask, see the commit message of "t7300: Add some
testcases showing failure to clean specified pathspecs" added earlier in
this patch series.) What if -ffd were used instead of -f -- should that
allow these to be removed? Should it take multiple invocations with
-ffd? What if a glob (such as '*tracked*') were used instead of
spelling out the directory names? What if the filenames involved globs,
such as
git clean -f '*.o'
or
git clean -f '*/*.o'
?
The current documentation actually suggests a definition that is
slightly different than choice A, and the implementation prior to this
series provided something radically different than either choices A or
B. (The implementation, though, was clearly just buggy). There may be
other choices as well. However, for almost any given choice of
definition for -d that I can think of, some of the examples above will
appear buggy to the user. The only case that doesn't have negative
surprises is choice B: treat a user-specified path as a request to clean
all untracked files which match that path specification, including
recursing into any untracked directories.
Change the documentation and basic implementation to use this
definition.
There were two regression tests that indirectly depended on the current
implementation, but neither was about subdirectory handling. These two
tests were introduced in commit 5b7570cfb41c ("git-clean: add tests for
relative path", 2008-03-07) which was solely created to add coverage for
the changes in commit fb328947c8e ("git-clean: correct printing relative
path", 2008-03-07). Both tests specified a directory that happened to
have an untracked subdirectory, but both were only checking that the
resulting printout of a file that was removed was shown with a relative
path. Update these tests appropriately.

Users expect files in a nested git repository to be left alone unless
sufficiently forced (with two -f's). Unfortunately, in certain
circumstances, git would delete both tracked (and possibly dirty) files
and untracked files within a nested repository. To explain how this
happens, let's contrast a couple cases. First, take the following
example setup (which assumes we are already within a git repo):
git init nested
cd nested
>tracked
git add tracked
git commit -m init
>untracked
cd ..
In this setup, everything works as expected; running 'git clean -fd'
will result in fill_directory() returning the following paths:
nested/
nested/tracked
nested/untracked
and then correct_untracked_entries() would notice this can be compressed
to
nested/
and then since "nested/" is a directory, we would call
remove_dirs("nested/", ...), which would
check is_nonbare_repository_dir() and then decide to skip it.
However, if someone also creates an ignored file:
>nested/ignored
then running 'git clean -fd' would result in fill_directory() returning
the same paths:
nested/
nested/tracked
nested/untracked
but correct_untracked_entries() will notice that we had ignored entries
under nested/ and thus simplify this list to
nested/tracked
nested/untracked
Since these are not directories, we do not call remove_dirs() which was
the only place that had the is_nonbare_repository_dir() safety check --
resulting in us deleting both the untracked file and the tracked (and
possibly dirty) file.
One possible fix for this issue would be walking the parent directories
of each path and checking if they represent nonbare repositories, but
that would be wasteful. Even if we added caching of some sort, it's
still a waste because we should have been able to check that "nested/"
represented a nonbare repository before even descending into it in the
first place. Add a DIR_SKIP_NESTED_GIT flag to dir_struct.flags and use
it to prevent fill_directory() and friends from descending into nested
git repos.
With this change, we also modify two regression tests added in commit
91479b9c72f1 ("t7300: add tests to document behavior of clean and nested
git", 2015-06-15). That commit, nor its series, nor the six previous
iterations of that series on the mailing list discussed why those tests
coded the expectation they did. In fact, it appears their purpose was
simply to test _existing_ behavior to make sure that the performance
changes didn't change the behavior. However, these two tests directly
contradicted the manpage's claims that two -f's were required to delete
files/directories under a nested git repository. While one could argue
that the user gave an explicit path which matched files/directories that
were within a nested repository, there's a slippery slope that becomes
very difficult for users to understand once you go down that route (e.g.
what if they specified "git clean -f -d '*.c'"?) It would also be hard
to explain what the exact behavior was; avoid such problems by making it
really simple.
Also, clean up some grammar errors describing this functionality in the
git-clean manpage.
Finally, there are still a couple bugs with -ffd not cleaning out enough
(e.g. missing the nested .git) and with -ffdX possibly cleaning out the
wrong files (paying attention to outer .gitignore instead of inner).
This patch does not address these cases at all (and does not change the
behavior relative to those flags), it only fixes the handling when given
a single -f. See
https://public-inbox.org/git/20190905212043.GC32087@szeder.dev/ for more
discussion of the -ffd[X?] bugs.

cmd_clean() had the following code structure:
struct strbuf abs_path = STRBUF_INIT;
for_each_string_list_item(item, &del_list) {
strbuf_addstr(&abs_path, prefix);
strbuf_addstr(&abs_path, item->string);
PROCESS(&abs_path);
strbuf_reset(&abs_path);
}
where I've elided a bunch of unnecessary details and PROCESS(&abs_path)
represents a big chunk of code rather than an actual function call. One
piece of PROCESS was:
if (lstat(abs_path.buf, &st))
continue;
which would cause the strbuf_reset() to be missed -- meaning that the
next path to be handled would have two paths concatenated. This path
used to use die_errno() instead of continue prior to commit 396049e5fb62
("git-clean: refactor git-clean into two phases", 2013-06-25), but my
understanding of how correct_untracked_entries() works is that it will
prevent both dir/ and dir/file from being in the list to clean so this
should be dead code and the die_errno() should be safe. But I hesitate
to remove it since I am not certain.
However, we can fix both this bug and possible similar future bugs by
simply moving the strbuf_reset(&abs_path) to the beginning of the loop.
It'll result in N calls to strbuf_reset() instead of N-1, but that's a
small price to pay to avoid sneaky bugs like this.

This patch series fixes a few issues with git-clean:
* Failure to clean when multiple pathspecs are specified, reported both
in April 2018[1] and again in May 2019[2].
* Failure to preserve both tracked and untracked files within a nested
Git repository reported a few weeks ago by SZEDER[3].
It builds on sg/clean-nested-repo-with-ignored.

Someone brought me a testcase where multiple git-clean invocations were
required to clean out unwanted files:
mkdir d{1,2}
touch d{1,2}/ut
touch d1/t && git add d1/t
With this setup, the user would need to run
git clean -ffd */ut
twice to delete both ut files.
A little testing showed some interesting variants:
* If only one of those two ut files existed (either one), then only one
clean command would be necessary.
* If both directories had tracked files, then only one git clean would
be necessary to clean both files.
* If both directories had no tracked files then the clean command above
would never clean either of the untracked files despite the pathspec
explicitly calling both of them out.
A bisect showed that the failure to clean out the files started with
commit cf424f5fd89b ("clean: respect pathspecs with "-d", 2014-03-10).
However, that pointed to a separate issue: while the "-d" flag was used
by the original user who showed me this problem, that flag should have
been irrelevant to this problem. Testing again without the "-d" flag
showed that the same buggy behavior exists without using that flag, and
has in fact existed since before cf424f5fd89b.
Although these problems at first are perceived to be different (e.g.
never clearing out the requested files vs. taking multiple invocations
to get everything cleared out), they are actually just different
manifestations of the same problem. The case with multiple directories
that have no tracked files is the more general case; solving it will
solve all the others. So, I concentrate on it. Add testcases showing
that multiple untracked files within entirely untracked directories
cannot be cleaned when specifying these files to git clean via
pathspecs.

For a pathspec like 'foo/bar' comparing against a path named "foo/",
namelen will be 4, and match[namelen] will be 'b'. The correct location
of the directory separator is namelen-1.
However, other callers of match_pathspec_item() such as builtin/grep.c's
submodule_path_match() will compare against a path named "foo" instead of
"foo/". It might be better to change all the callers to be consistent,
as discussed at

The reason the code worked despite this sometimes-off-by-one error was

MATCHED_RECURSIVELY anyway since wildmatch doesn't have the ability to

Even if a directory doesn't match a pathspec, it is possible, depending
on the precise pathspecs, that some file underneath it might. So we
special case and recurse into the directory for such situations. However,
we previously always added any untracked directory that we recursed into
to the list of untracked paths, regardless of whether the directory
itself matched the pathspec.
For the case of git-clean and a set of pathspecs of "dir/file" and "more",
this caused a problem because we'd end up with dir entries for both of
"dir"
"dir/file"
Then correct_untracked_entries() would try to helpfully prune duplicates
for us by removing "dir/file" since it's under "dir", leaving us with
"dir"
Since the original pathspec only had "dir/file", the only entry left
doesn't match and leaves nothing to be removed. (Note that if only one
pathspec was specified, e.g. only "dir/file", then the common_prefix_len
optimizations in fill_directory would cause us to bypass this problem,
making it appear in simple tests that we could correctly remove manually
specified pathspecs.)
Fix this by actually checking whether the directory we are about to add
to the list of dir entries actually matches the pathspec; only do this
matching check after we have already returned from recursing into the
directory.

Hi Elijah,
I ran into a segfault on MacOS. I managed to bisect it down to
404ebceda0 (dir: also check directories for matching pathspecs,
2019-09-17), which should be the patch in the parent thread. The test
case below works fine without this patch applied but segfaults once it
is applied.
#!/bin/sh
git worktree add testdir
git -C testdir checkout master
git -C testdir fetch https://github.com/git/git.git todo
bin-wrappers/git -C testdir checkout FETCH_HEAD # segfault here
Note that the worktree part isn't necessary to reproduce the problem but
I didn't want my files to be constantly refreshed, triggering a rebuild
each time.
I also managed to get this backtrace from running lldb at the segfault
but it is based on the latest "jch" commit, 1cc52d20df (Merge branch
'jt/merge-recursive-symlink-is-not-a-dir-in-way' into jch, 2019-09-20).

Sorry for the information dump, I haven't had the time to properly look
into the issue but I just wanted to make sure that you're aware.
Thanks and hope this helps,

Thanks for testing and sending the heads up. Unfortunately, I cannot
reproduce on either Linux or Mac. Do you have some special ignore
files or sparse-checkout paths that are important to triggering?
What's in your config.mak? What compiler and version?
Here's what I did, just to verify:
cd ~/floss/git
git checkout 404ebceda0
NO_GETTEXT=1 make DEVELOPER=1 -j8 # I leave off the NO_GETTEXT=1 on linux
git worktree add testdir
git -C testdir checkout master
git -C testdir fetch https://github.com/git/git.git todo
bin-wrappers/git -C testdir checkout FETCH_HEAD
Did I get any of those steps wrong?
Thanks,
Elijah

Before, I had an empty config.mak and I also had the following
.git/info/exclude (these are two worktrees I have checked out):
/jch
/patches
aside from that, I don't think I've changed anything else. Anyway, to
double-check that it wasn't my setup that was broken, I ran
cd ..
git clone git git2
cd git2
make configure
./configure
and then followed the rest the steps and I could still reproduce it.

I don't have NO_GETTEXT on Mac but I don't think it affects anything.

Looks correct to me. I don't see why this wouldn't reproduce. I'll send
you more information if I figure anything else out.

I looked into it a little more and I think I know why it's being
triggered.
When we checkout 'todo' from 'master', since they're completely
different trees, all of git's source files need to be removed. As a
result, the checkout process at some point invokes check_ok_to_remove().
This kicks off the following call chain:
check_ok_to_remove()
verify_clean_subdirectory()
read_directory()
read_directory_recursive() (this is called recursively, of course)
match_pathspec()
do_match_pathspec()
Where we segfault in do_match_pathspec() because ps is NULL:
GUARD_PATHSPEC(ps,
PATHSPEC_FROMTOP |
PATHSPEC_MAXDEPTH |
PATHSPEC_LITERAL |
PATHSPEC_GLOB |
PATHSPEC_ICASE |
PATHSPEC_EXCLUDE |
PATHSPEC_ATTR);
So why is ps == NULL? In verify_clean_subdirectory(), we call
read_directory() like this:
i = read_directory(&d, o->src_index, pathbuf, namelen+1, NULL);
where we explictly pass in a NULL and it is handed down the callstack. I
guess this means that we should be expecting that pathspecs can be NULL
in this path. So I've applied the patch at the bottom and it fixes the
problem.
I was wondering if we should stick a
if (!ps)
BUG("ps is NULL");
into do_match_pathspec(), though, so we can avoid these situations in
the future.
Also, I'm still not sure why the issue wasn't reproducible on your
side... I'm not too familiar with this area of the code, though.

The patch makes sense...but I'd really like to add a test, and
understand it better so I can check to see if there are any other bad
codepaths. Sadly, I still have no idea how to reproduce the bug. I
can put
char *oopsies = NULL;
printf("oopsies = %s\n", oopsies);
at the beginning of check_ok_to_remove() to verify that function is
never called and run the steps you gave with no problem. However, I
do notice that your reproduction steps involve 'master' which may have
local changes for you that I don't have. Is there any chance you can
reproduce this using a commit id that is already upstream instead of
'master'? I've been poking around unpack-trees.c for a bit but I'm
having a hard time reversing out of it what's different about our
setups and how to trigger.

That 'name="Gitweb" parameter caught my eye. origin/todo contains a
'Gitweb' file, with upper case 'G', while master contains a 'gitweb'
directory, with lower case 'g'.
Could it be that case (in)sensitivity plays a crucial rule in
triggering the segfault? FWIW I could reproduce it following Denton's
description on Travis CI's macOS VM with the debug shell access, and
it uses case insensitive file system.

Indeed, with 404ebceda0 the test below segfaults on case insensitive
fs, but not on a case sensitive one.

Case insensitivity is important because check_ok_to_remove() is

Commits 404ebceda01c ("dir: also check directories for matching
pathspecs", 2019-09-17) and 89a1f4aaf765 ("dir: if our pathspec might
match files under a dir, recurse into it", 2019-09-17) added calls to
match_pathspec() and do_match_pathspec() passing along their pathspec
parameter. Both match_pathspec() and do_match_pathspec() assume the
pathspec argument they are given is non-NULL. It turns out that
unpack-tree.c's verify_clean_subdirectory() calls read_directory() with
pathspec == NULL, and it is possible on case insensitive filesystems for
that NULL to make it to these new calls to match_pathspec() and
do_match_pathspec(). Add appropriate checks on the NULLness of pathspec
to avoid a segfault.
In case the negation throws anyone off (one of the calls was to
do_match_pathspec() while the other was to !match_pathspec(), yet no
negation of the NULLness of pathspec is used), there are two ways to
understand the differences:
* The code already handled the pathspec == NULL cases before this
series, and this series only tried to change behavior when there was
a pathspec, thus we only want to go into the if-block if pathspec is
non-NULL.
* One of the calls is for whether to recurse into a subdirectory, the
other is for after we've recursed into it for whether we want to
remove the subdirectory itself (i.e. the subdirectory didn't match
but something under it could have). That difference in situation
leads to the slight differences in logic used (well, that and the
slightly unusual fact that we don't want empty pathspecs to remove
untracked directories by default).

This patch applies on top of en/clean-nested-with-ignored, which is now
in next.
Denton found and analyzed one issue and provided the patch for the
match_pathspec() call, SZEDER figured out why the issue only reproduced
for some folks and not others and provided the testcase, and I looked
through the remainder of the series and noted the do_match_pathspec()
call that should have the same check.
So, I'm not sure who should be author and who should be helped-by; I
feel like their contributions are possibly bigger than mine. While I
tried to reproduce and debug, they ended up doing the work, and I just
looked through the rest of the series for similar issues and wrote up
a commit message. *shrug*

Eh, it doesn't really matter to me. GitHub appears to have de facto
standardised the Co-authored-by: trailer to allow credit to be split
amonst multiple authors so _maybe_ we could use that, but I'm pretty
impartial.

We should either remove this comment or change the justification. A

to.

I will clean this one too and send a v2 tomorrow; it's getting late.
Thanks for all the digging you did on this bug to get it sorted out,
Denton; I really appreciate it.

Note: Applies on top of en/clean-nested-with-ignored, in next.
As with v1, the authorship is really mixed, so I don't know if I
should use Co-authored-by (highlighted as a possibility by Denton), or
the far more common Helped-by (as suggested by Junio but based on a
more limited summary of the different contributions), or if perhaps
Denton or SZEDER should be marked as the author and I be marked as
Helped-by or Co-authored-by. Since Denton commented on round 1, I
used his suggestion for attribution in this round, but I'm open to
changing it to whatever works best.
Changes since v1:
- Removed comments that made sense in context of the original thread
but wouldn't be helpful to future readers.

Probably not worth a reroll but we're missing "gitweb directory" at the
end of the comment. Other than that, it looks good to me.
Thanks again for the prompt fix,

Yuck, I accidentally only removed half the comment when I intended to
remove it all? Whoops. I think it's worth a reroll; it's just a
single patch. I'll send it out.

Commits 404ebceda01c ("dir: also check directories for matching
pathspecs", 2019-09-17) and 89a1f4aaf765 ("dir: if our pathspec might
match files under a dir, recurse into it", 2019-09-17) added calls to
match_pathspec() and do_match_pathspec() passing along their pathspec
parameter. Both match_pathspec() and do_match_pathspec() assume the
pathspec argument they are given is non-NULL. It turns out that
unpack-tree.c's verify_clean_subdirectory() calls read_directory() with
pathspec == NULL, and it is possible on case insensitive filesystems for
that NULL to make it to these new calls to match_pathspec() and
do_match_pathspec(). Add appropriate checks on the NULLness of pathspec
to avoid a segfault.
In case the negation throws anyone off (one of the calls was to
do_match_pathspec() while the other was to !match_pathspec(), yet no
negation of the NULLness of pathspec is used), there are two ways to
understand the differences:
* The code already handled the pathspec == NULL cases before this
series, and this series only tried to change behavior when there was
a pathspec, thus we only want to go into the if-block if pathspec is
non-NULL.
* One of the calls is for whether to recurse into a subdirectory, the
other is for after we've recursed into it for whether we want to
remove the subdirectory itself (i.e. the subdirectory didn't match
but something under it could have). That difference in situation
leads to the slight differences in logic used (well, that and the
slightly unusual fact that we don't want empty pathspecs to remove
untracked directories by default).
Denton found and analyzed one issue and provided the patch for the
match_pathspec() call, SZEDER figured out why the issue only reproduced
for some folks and not others and provided the testcase, and I looked
through the remainder of the series and noted the do_match_pathspec()
call that should have the same check.

As with v1, the authorship is really mixed, so I don't know if I
should use Co-authored-by (highlighted as a possibility by Denton), or
the far more common Helped-by (as suggested by Junio but based on a
more limited summary of the different contributions), or if perhaps
Denton or SZEDER should be marked as the author and I be marked as
Helped-by or Co-authored-by. Since Denton commented on round 1, I
used his suggestion for attribution in this round, but I'm open to
changing it to whatever works best.

Just wondering, how did you generate this patch? Did you manually edit
the last patch and resend it or is this a bug in our diff machinery?
(Side note, I _hate_ how bad the feedback for git apply/am is. We should
probably give more information than "error: corrupt patch at line 62"
such as why patches are corrupt (unexpected characters, too many/few
lines, something else?).)

I manually edited because it "was so simple" and of course just
compounded the problem because I didn't fix the count, as you pointed
out. Gah. Thanks for checking. Clearly, I'm bouncing between too
many things this morning, and need to wait until I'm not so distracted
and rushing so I don't mess things up. I'll sound out a v4 in a few
hours when I've cleaned a few other things off my plate.

I was going to send out a new version this morning, but it looks like
Junio already picked up the patch and fixed it up (the tip of
en/clean-nested-with-ignored already has what we want), so I won't
resend after all. Thanks Denton, SZEDER, and Junio.

I don't like this test ;)
I only intended it as a "here is how to reliably reproduce the
segfault without all the clutter of the full git.git repository" that
I wrote way past my bedtime. But I think that:
- it shouldn't have the CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS prereq. Yes, that
segfault could only be triggered on a case insensitive filesystem,
but the given sequence of commands should succeed in a case
sensitive file system just as well.
(Have no idea why I added that prereq in the first place; as I
said above, it was way past my bedtime...)
- it's in the wrong test script; it would be better among other
tests checking what 'git checkout' should or must not overwrite
when switching branches, but not sure which test script that is.
(I think I added it to this test script, because it stood out a
bit when grepping for case insensitive fs in the test suite; I
play the "past my bedtime" card again :)
- it's already satisfied by 'git checkout master' not failing, but
it doesn't check whether the resulting contents of the worktree
are as expected.
- it still bothers me why that additional subdir was necessary to
trigger the segfault. Did you look into it?

The specific checks done in match_pathspec_item for the DO_MATCH_SUBMODULE
case are useful for other cases which have nothing to do with submodules.
Rename this constant; a subsequent commit will make use of this change.

For git clean, if a directory is entirely untracked and the user did not
specify -d (corresponding to DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO), then we usually do
not want to remove that directory and thus do not recurse into it.
However, if the user manually specified specific (or even globbed) paths
somewhere under that directory to remove, then we need to recurse into
the directory to make sure we remove the relevant paths under that
directory as the user requested.
Note that this does not mean that the recursed-into directory will be
added to dir->entries for later removal; as of a few commits earlier in
this series, there is another more strict match check that is run after
returning from a recursed-into directory before deciding to add it to the
list of entries. Therefore, this will only result in files underneath
the given directory which match one of the pathspecs being added to the
entries list.
Two notes of potential interest to future readers:
* If we wanted to only recurse into a directory when it is specifically
matched rather than matched-via-glob (e.g. '*.c'), then we could do
so via making the final non-zero return in match_pathspec_item be
MATCHED_RECURSIVELY instead of MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC.
(Note that the relative order of MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC
and MATCHED_RECURSIVELY are important for such a change.) I was
leaving open that possibility while writing an RFC asking for the
behavior we want, but even though we don't want it, that knowledge
might help you understand the code flow better.
* There is a growing amount of logic in read_directory_recursive() for
deciding whether to recurse into a subdirectory. However, there is a
comment immediately preceding this logic that says to recurse if
instructed by treat_path(). It may be better for the logic in
read_directory_recursive() to ultimately be moved to treat_path() (or
another function it calls, such as treat_directory()), but I have
left that for someone else to tackle in the future.

The way match_pathspec_item() handles names and pathspecs with trailing
slash characters, in conjunction with special options like
DO_MATCH_DIRECTORY and DO_MATCH_LEADING_PATHSPEC were non-obvious, and
broken until this patch series. Add a table in a comment explaining the
intent of how these work.

The -d flag pre-dated git-clean's ability to have paths specified. As
such, the default for git-clean was to only remove untracked files in
the current directory, and -d existed to allow it to recurse into
subdirectories.
The interaction of paths and the -d option appears to not have been
carefully considered, as evidenced by numerous bugs and a dearth of
tests covering such pairings in the testsuite. The definition turns out
to be important, so let's look at some of the various ways one could
interpret the -d option:
A) Without -d, only look in subdirectories which contain tracked
files under them; with -d, also look in subdirectories which
are untracked for files to clean.
B) Without specified paths from the user for us to delete, we need to
have some kind of default, so...without -d, only look in
subdirectories which contain tracked files under them; with -d,
also look in subdirectories which are untracked for files to clean.
The important distinction here is that choice B says that the presence
or absence of '-d' is irrelevant if paths are specified. The logic
behind option B is that if a user explicitly asked us to clean a
specified pathspec, then we should clean anything that matches that
pathspec. Some examples may clarify. Should
git clean -f untracked_dir/file
remove untracked_dir/file or not? It seems crazy not to, but a strict
reading of option A says it shouldn't be removed. How about
git clean -f untracked_dir/file1 tracked_dir/file2
or
git clean -f untracked_dir_1/file1 untracked_dir_2/file2
? Should it remove either or both of these files? Should it require
multiple runs to remove both the files listed? (If this sounds like a
crazy question to even ask, see the commit message of "t7300: Add some
testcases showing failure to clean specified pathspecs" added earlier in
this patch series.) What if -ffd were used instead of -f -- should that
allow these to be removed? Should it take multiple invocations with
-ffd? What if a glob (such as '*tracked*') were used instead of
spelling out the directory names? What if the filenames involved globs,
such as
git clean -f '*.o'
or
git clean -f '*/*.o'
?
The current documentation actually suggests a definition that is
slightly different than choice A, and the implementation prior to this
series provided something radically different than either choices A or
B. (The implementation, though, was clearly just buggy). There may be
other choices as well. However, for almost any given choice of
definition for -d that I can think of, some of the examples above will
appear buggy to the user. The only case that doesn't have negative
surprises is choice B: treat a user-specified path as a request to clean
all untracked files which match that path specification, including
recursing into any untracked directories.
Change the documentation and basic implementation to use this
definition.
There were two regression tests that indirectly depended on the current
implementation, but neither was about subdirectory handling. These two
tests were introduced in commit 5b7570cfb41c ("git-clean: add tests for
relative path", 2008-03-07) which was solely created to add coverage for
the changes in commit fb328947c8e ("git-clean: correct printing relative
path", 2008-03-07). Both tests specified a directory that happened to
have an untracked subdirectory, but both were only checking that the
resulting printout of a file that was removed was shown with a relative
path. Update these tests appropriately.

Users expect files in a nested git repository to be left alone unless
sufficiently forced (with two -f's). Unfortunately, in certain
circumstances, git would delete both tracked (and possibly dirty) files
and untracked files within a nested repository. To explain how this
happens, let's contrast a couple cases. First, take the following
example setup (which assumes we are already within a git repo):
git init nested
cd nested
>tracked
git add tracked
git commit -m init
>untracked
cd ..
In this setup, everything works as expected; running 'git clean -fd'
will result in fill_directory() returning the following paths:
nested/
nested/tracked
nested/untracked
and then correct_untracked_entries() would notice this can be compressed
to
nested/
and then since "nested/" is a directory, we would call
remove_dirs("nested/", ...), which would
check is_nonbare_repository_dir() and then decide to skip it.
However, if someone also creates an ignored file:
>nested/ignored
then running 'git clean -fd' would result in fill_directory() returning
the same paths:
nested/
nested/tracked
nested/untracked
but correct_untracked_entries() will notice that we had ignored entries
under nested/ and thus simplify this list to
nested/tracked
nested/untracked
Since these are not directories, we do not call remove_dirs() which was
the only place that had the is_nonbare_repository_dir() safety check --
resulting in us deleting both the untracked file and the tracked (and
possibly dirty) file.
One possible fix for this issue would be walking the parent directories
of each path and checking if they represent nonbare repositories, but
that would be wasteful. Even if we added caching of some sort, it's
still a waste because we should have been able to check that "nested/"
represented a nonbare repository before even descending into it in the
first place. Add a DIR_SKIP_NESTED_GIT flag to dir_struct.flags and use
it to prevent fill_directory() and friends from descending into nested
git repos.
With this change, we also modify two regression tests added in commit
91479b9c72f1 ("t7300: add tests to document behavior of clean and nested
git", 2015-06-15). That commit, nor its series, nor the six previous
iterations of that series on the mailing list discussed why those tests
coded the expectation they did. In fact, it appears their purpose was
simply to test _existing_ behavior to make sure that the performance
changes didn't change the behavior. However, these two tests directly
contradicted the manpage's claims that two -f's were required to delete
files/directories under a nested git repository. While one could argue
that the user gave an explicit path which matched files/directories that
were within a nested repository, there's a slippery slope that becomes
very difficult for users to understand once you go down that route (e.g.
what if they specified "git clean -f -d '*.c'"?) It would also be hard
to explain what the exact behavior was; avoid such problems by making it
really simple.
Also, clean up some grammar errors describing this functionality in the
git-clean manpage.
Finally, there are still a couple bugs with -ffd not cleaning out enough
(e.g. missing the nested .git) and with -ffdX possibly cleaning out the
wrong files (paying attention to outer .gitignore instead of inner).
This patch does not address these cases at all (and does not change the
behavior relative to those flags), it only fixes the handling when given
a single -f. See
https://public-inbox.org/git/20190905212043.GC32087@szeder.dev/ for more
discussion of the -ffd[X?] bugs.

cmd_clean() had the following code structure:
struct strbuf abs_path = STRBUF_INIT;
for_each_string_list_item(item, &del_list) {
strbuf_addstr(&abs_path, prefix);
strbuf_addstr(&abs_path, item->string);
PROCESS(&abs_path);
strbuf_reset(&abs_path);
}
where I've elided a bunch of unnecessary details and PROCESS(&abs_path)
represents a big chunk of code rather than an actual function call. One
piece of PROCESS was:
if (lstat(abs_path.buf, &st))
continue;
which would cause the strbuf_reset() to be missed -- meaning that the
next path to be handled would have two paths concatenated. This path
used to use die_errno() instead of continue prior to commit 396049e5fb62
("git-clean: refactor git-clean into two phases", 2013-06-25), but my
understanding of how correct_untracked_entries() works is that it will
prevent both dir/ and dir/file from being in the list to clean so this
should be dead code and the die_errno() should be safe. But I hesitate
to remove it since I am not certain.
However, we can fix both this bug and possible similar future bugs by
simply moving the strbuf_reset(&abs_path) to the beginning of the loop.
It'll result in N calls to strbuf_reset() instead of N-1, but that's a
small price to pay to avoid sneaky bugs like this.
