[PATCH v3 0/6] Support triangular workflows

[PATCH v3 0/6] Support triangular workflows

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

After Jonathan's review of [1], I've decided to pick two changes to
apply in this iteration:

1. [1/6], [5/6] and [6/6] now use the return value of
   git_config_string(), hence handling configuration errors properly.
   I consider this a major and important improvement.

2. The commit message in [4/6] has been augmented with a small
   example.  This is mainly a nit, as full-blown examples are already
   present in the next two patches in the series.

Thanks.

[PATCH 1/6] remote.c: simplify a bit of code using git_config_string()

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

A small segment where handle_config() parses the branch.remote
configuration variable can be simplified using git_config_string().

[PATCH 2/6] t5516 (fetch-push): update test description

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

The file was originally created in bcdb34f (Test wildcard push/fetch,
2007-06-08), and only contained tests that exercised wildcard
functionality at the time.  In subsequent commits, many other tests
unrelated to wildcards were added but the test description was never
updated.  Fix this.

[PATCH 3/6] t5516 (fetch-push): introduce mk_test_with_name()

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

mk_test() creates a repository with the constant name "testrepo", and
this may be limiting for tests that need to create more than one
repository for testing.  To fix this, create a new mk_test_with_name()
which accepts the repository name as $1.  Reimplement mk_test() as a
special case of this function, making sure that no tests need to be
rewritten.  Do the same thing for check_push_result().

[PATCH 4/6] remote.c: introduce a way to have different remotes for fetch/push

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

Currently, do_push() in push.c calls remote_get(), which gets the
configured remote for fetching and pushing.  Replace this call with a
call to pushremote_get() instead, a new function that will return the
remote configured specifically for pushing.  This function tries to
work with the string pushremote_name, before falling back to the
codepath of remote_get().  This patch has no visible impact, but
serves to enable future patches to introduce configuration variables
to set pushremote_name.  For example, you can now do the following in
handle_config():

    if (!strcmp(key, "remote.pushdefault"))
       git_config_string(&pushremote_name, key, value);

Then, pushes will automatically go to the remote specified by
remote.pushdefault.

[PATCH 5/6] remote.c: introduce remote.pushdefault

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

This new configuration variable defines the default remote to push to,
and overrides `branch.<name>.remote` for all branches.  It is useful
in the typical triangular-workflow setup, where the remote you're
fetching from is different from the remote you're pushing to.

I think this is OK, and I do not mind if it gets applied. But what I was
hinting at in my earlier mail was that we might want to do this (I have
it as a separate patch on top of your 3/6 here, but it would make more
sense squashed in):

Subject: [PATCH] t5516: drop implicit arguments from helper functions

Many of the tests in t5516 look like:

  mk_empty &&
  git push testrepo ... &&
  check_push_result $commit heads/master

It's reasonably easy to see what is being tested, with the
exception that "testrepo" is a magic global name (it is
implicitly used in the helpers, but we have to name it
explicitly when calling git directly). Let's make it
explicit when call the helpers, too. This is slightly more
typing, but makes the test snippets read more naturally.

It also makes it easy for future tests to use an alternate
or multiple repositories, without a proliferation of helper
functions.

I would prefer to see a preparatory patch to teach mk_test/mk_empty
to _always_ take the new name (i.e. the result of your patch) and
then do whatever new things on top.

By the way, I am planning to _not_ look at new stuff today. I'd

I was going to say "shouldn't we return 0" here, both on successful read
of pushdefault, but also just when we have remote.*. But the answer is
"yes" to the first one (we know we have handled the key), but "no" to
the second, because we end up parsing remote.*.* later.

So I think this should at least be:

  if (!prefixcmp(key, "remote.")) {
          if (!strcmp(key + 7, "pushdefault"))
                  return git_config_string(&pushremote_name, key, value));
          /* do not return; we handle other remote.* below */
  }

but also possibly just move it with the other remote parsing, like:

I meant to mention that, too. It doesn't matter, as the intent is for it
always to be a simple name like "testrepo", but that assumption is not
documented anywhere. I suspect the quoting in my patch is sloppy, too.

I think that is what my patch does (it is meant to come at the point of
3/6, and then the rest would need to be rebased to just use "mk_test"
instead of "mk_test_with_name").

Yeah, I have several to look at (the "subdir/" in gitattributes is the
biggest one, I think).

Nice write-up. It may be easier to read if the new text is in a

Perhaps s/when pushing/for pushing/; Or "Specify what remote to push
to when on branch <name>, overriding `branch.<name>.remote` and
`remote.pushdefault`."

> +	In a typical triangular-workflow

Is there an "atypical triangular-workflow"?  Drop "typical" and
explain what you mean by triangular, perhaps like

	When you pull from one place (e.g. your upstream) and push
	to another place (e.g. your own publishing repository),

Then the rest of the text flows more naturally without ever
introducing a new lingo "triangular" that is not in glossary.

The description before and after are equally useless.  You might as
well use the following description:

	test_description='t5516-fetch-push.sh'

(Please don't actually do that.)

I gave a sketch of what I think might be a more useful description and

this one needs more work I guess.

"struct remote" has url and pushurl fields.  What do they mean in the
context of these two accessors?  /me is confused.

Is the idea that now I should not use pushurl any more, and that I
should use pushremote_get and use url instead?

I thought the basic idea from the user-level is:

 - If you have to use different URL to push to and fetch from the
   logically same location (e.g. git://k.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
   used for fetch, k.org:/pub/scm/git/git.git/ used for push), use
   url for fetch, pushurl for push and you don't have to bother with
   per-branch pushremote at all.  You are logically working with the
   same remote, perhaps called 'origin'.

 - If you push to and fetch from logically different repositories,
   (e.g. fetch from https://github.com/gitster/git, push to
   github.com:artagnon/git), you may want to call your upstream
   'origin' and your publishing repository 'mine'.  You set the
   remote.pushdefault to 'mine', perhaps like:

	[remote "mine"]
        	url = github.com:artagnon/git

   (this can also be written with remote.mine.pushurl).

By splitting remote_get() used for fetch and pushremote_get() used
for push, the latter function can return 'origin' and 'mine' for
these two cases, while remote_get() will return 'origin' for both of
these cases.  At the programming level, you would still ask what the
URL to be pushed to to the remote obtained here, and would use
pushurl if defined, or url otherwise.

Ram, am I following your thoughts correctly?

Ah, I think I see.  It might be more convenient to the caller if
pushremote_get returned a remote with url set to the pushurl, but
that would prevent sharing the struct with other callers that want
that remote for fetching.

So instead, the idea is something like

	remote: support a different default remote for pushing

	Teach remote_get() to accept an argument FOR_FETCH or FOR_PUSH
	that determines, when no remote is passed to it, whether to use
	the default remote for fetching or the default for pushing.

	The default remote for fetching is stored in the static var
	"default_remote_name", while the default for pushing, if set,
	is in "default_push_remote_name".

	Currently there is never a different default for pushing set
	but later patches will change that.

If remote_get() gained a new required parameter, that would force all
call sites to be examined (even any potential call sites added by new
patches in flight) and there would no longer be need for the
remote_get_1() function.

What do you think?
Jonathan

We started off with a generic "remote" (for both fetching and
pushing), then added .pushurl on top of this remote.  Now we've
introduced something called a pushremote, a logically distinct remote
from "remote"; pushremote_get() is meant to return this logically
different remote, falling back to the remote_get() codepath if not
present.  This is a perfect migration that trivially preserves
backward compatibility.

I'm sorry, but this is not worth a rebase.

Thanks for all good comments (not only to this one but to others in
the series).  I agree with all of them.

Micronit: I think this would be easier to explain if it came after
patch 6, since then you could say "In other words, it is a default for
branch.<name>.pushremote for all branches" and readers would not have
to wonder "Why does the more generic configuration override the more
specific one?".

My two cents,

[PATCH 5/6] remote.c: introduce remote.pushdefault

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

This new configuration variable defines the default remote to push to,
and overrides `branch.<name>.remote` for all branches.  It is useful
in the typical triangular-workflow setup, where the remote you're
fetching from is different from the remote you're pushing to.
