Yay, always glad to see complicated string handling like this go away.
As the resulting conditional blocks are one-liners, I think you can drop
the curly braces, which will match our usual style:

  if (is_bundle)
	strip_suffix(start, ".bundle", &len);
  else
	strip_suffix(start, ".git", &len);

If you wanted to get really fancy, I think you could put a ternary
operator in the middle of the strip_suffix call. That makes it clear
that "len" is set in all code paths, but I think some people find
ternary operators unreadable. :)

This one can also be simplified using xstrfmt to:

  if (is_bare)
	dir = xstrfmt("%.*s.git", len, start);

Do we still need to cast "len" to an int to use it with "%.*" (it is
defined by the standard as an int, not a size_t)?

I like the idea about the ternary operator, will do.

Nice, will also do.

I think we're more on the safe side by keeping the cast, so I'll do that, too.

This looks vastly nicer than the original.

This however I had to read twice.  I'd say

	if (is_bare)
        	dir = xstrfmt(...);
	else
        	dir = xstrndup(...);

is much easier to read.

That's what I had locally before. Will revert to that.

The last one needs to be adjusted with s/end - start/len/.  The
last-minute rewrite without testing shows; your first two patches
correctly used "len" ;-)

No need to resend.  Will locally tweak before queuing.

Thanks.

I am currently on vacation and cannot bisect or debug this but I am
pretty confident that this patch changes the behaviour of directory name
guessing. With Git 2.4.6, cloning http://foo.bar/foo.git/ results in a
directory named foo and with Git 2.5.0, the resulting directory is
called foo.git.

Note how the end variable is decreased when the repository name ends
with a slash but that isn't taken into account when simply using
strip_suffix() later...

Is this intended?

I did not intend this change in behavior, and I can confirm that
reverting my patch restores the original behavior. Thanks for bringing
this to my attention, I'll work on a patch.

I think this regression is in v2.4.8, as well. We should be able to use
a running "len" instead of the "end" pointer in the earlier part, and
then use strip_suffix_mem later (to strip from our already-reduced
length, rather than the full NUL-terminated string). Like this:

Sadly we cannot just `strip_suffix_mem(repo, &len, "/.git"))` in the
earlier code, as we have to account for multiple directory separators. I
believe the above code does the right thing, though. I haven't looked at
how badly it interacts with the other guess_dir_name work from Patrick
Steinhardt that has been going on, though.

It shouldn't be hard rebasing my work onto this. If it's being
applied I'll come up with a new version.

Thanks, it is always nice when contributors are flexible and easy to
work with. :)

Hopefully the new tests I've added can help you out, as well.

You're welcome. And yes, your tests help me quite a lot here. Got
tedious to always set up the chroot. Guess I'll still send my
fixes for the chroot-tests as a separate patch series, even
though I don't require them anymore.

Short question on how to proceed: should I mention that my patch
series builds upon your patches or just include them in my
series?

Yeah, fixes for t1509 are definitely welcome.

I think we'll want to merge my patches separately, due to the
regression, so you should not include them. So hopefully the sequence
is:

  1. Junio picks them up as jk/guess-repo-name-regression or similar.

  2. They are merged to 'next', and then eventually to 'maint'.

  3. Mention the topic branch name (whatever Junio ends up picking for
     it) when you post your patches. Junio can then apply on top in his
     repo.

  4. If re-rolls keep going past step 2, then it becomes a non-issue, as
     'maint' gets merged to 'master'.

Looks like "git clone --bare host:foo/.git" is broken, too. I've added
some tests to cover the recently broken cases, as well as some obvious
normal cases (which the patch I sent earlier break!). And as a bonus, we
can easily cover Patrick's root-repo problems (so people will actually
run the tests, unlike the stuff in t1509. :) ).

This is crap, of course. Our "len" variable is computed from the start
of "repo", of which "start" is a subset. So we are indexing way out of
bounds here.

As it turns out, this actually makes things simpler. We can stop using
"len" entirely in the early part, and leave it as-is with pointer math
(the patch I sent earlier did not really make anything simpler, anyway).
And then we can just compute the length of "start" here, minus
everything we've stripped off the end (i.e., "len = end - start").

Here are the patches.

[PATCH 1/2] clone: add tests for output directory

[Jeff King]

When we run "git clone $url", clone guesses from the $url
what to name the local output directory. We don't have any
test coverage of this, so let's add some basic tests.

This reveals a few problems:

  - cloning "foo.git/" does not properly remove the ".git";
    this is a recent regression from 7e837c6 (clone:
    simplify string handling in guess_dir_name(), 2015-07-09)

  - likewise, cloning foo/.git does not seem to handle the
    bare case (we should end up in foo.git, but we try to
    use foo/.git on the local end), which also comes from
    7e837c6.

  - cloning the root is not very smart about URL parsing,
    and usernames and port numbers may end up in the
    directory name

All of these tests are marked as failures.

[PATCH 2/2] clone: use computed length in guess_dir_name

[Jeff King]

Commit 7e837c6 (clone: simplify string handling in
guess_dir_name(), 2015-07-09) changed clone to use
strip_suffix instead of hand-rolled pointer manipulation.
However, strip_suffix will strip from the end of a
NUL-terminated string, and we may have already stripped some
characters (like directory separators, or "/.git"). This
leads to commands like:

  git clone host:foo.git/

failing to strip the ".git".

We must instead convert our pointer arithmetic into a
computed length and feed that to strip_suffix_mem, which will
then reduce the length further for us.

It would be nicer if we could drop the pointer manipulation
entirely, and just continually strip using strip_suffix. But
that doesn't quite work for two reasons:

  1. The early suffixes we're stripping are not constant; we
     need to look for is_dir_sep, which could be one of
     several characters.

  2. Mid-way through the stripping we compute the pointer
     "start", which shows us the beginning of the pathname.
     Which really give us two lengths to work with: the
     offset from the start of the string, and from the start
     of the path. By using pointers for the early part, we
     can just compute the length from "start" when we need
     it.

I suspect you _could_ clean up this logic further, but I
really wanted to do the minimal fix for the regression.
Especially because Patrick is hopefully going to sweep
through and make it all more robust soon enough. :)

Thanks a lot Peff for fixing my bugs, I should have known that you'll be able to come up with something much sooner than I would ;-)

This all looks good to me!

Sorry, my fault; I should have been much less trusting while queuing
a patch like that offending one that was meant to be a no-op.

I reviewed it, too. :-/

I actually did give some thought to that while working on the fix. Why
did we miss what in retrospect was a pretty obvious bug? I saw two
interesting bits:

  1. From the diff context, it looked like a perfectly reasonable
     change; the shrinking of the "end" pointer happened further up
     in the function.

     So I guess the lesson is not to trust reading just the diff, and
     to really read the whole of the modified function. But that's easy
     to say in retrospect; most of the time the bits outside the context
     aren't interesting, and we can't afford to read the whole code
     base for each patch. It's a judgement call where to stop looking at
     the surrounding context of a given change (e.g., the function, the
     callers, their callers, etc).

  2. We didn't have any test coverage in this area; when I wrote even
     basic tests, it caught the problem.

     I hate to set a rule like "if you are cleaning something up, make
     sure there is decent test coverage". Lots of trivial-looking
     patches really are trivial, and it doesn't make sense to insist the
     submitter add a new battery of tests.

So I dunno. This was definitely preventable, but that is all in
retrospect. Bugs will happen, and we usually catch them while cooking.
The biggest pain is that this slipped through to a release, and that may
just be a measure of how few people were impacted (the cases it affected
were relatively obscure).

I could take anything, even chicken scratches on a piece of paper,
for a small change like this.

But let's make sure we see text/plain out of "submitgit", as the
whole point of it is to allow people generate the common denominator
format out of a commit pushed to GitHub.

Thanks for letting them know.
