Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] receive-pack: detect aliased updates which can occur with symrefs
Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2010 18:08:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1271714912-56659-4-git-send-email-jaysoffian@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1271714912-56659-1-git-send-email-jaysoffian@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <1271694343-31876-2-git-send-email-jaysoffian@gmail.com>
When pushing to a remote repo the sending side filters out aliased
updates (e.g., foo:baz bar:baz). However, it is not possible for the
sender to know if two refs are aliased on the receiving side via
symrefs. Here is one such scenario:
$ git init origin
$ (cd origin && touch file && git add file && git commit -a -m intial)
$ git clone --bare origin origin.git
$ rm -rf origin
$ git clone origin.git client
$ git clone --mirror client backup.git &&
$ (cd backup.git && git remote set-head origin --auto)
$ (cd client &&
git remote add --mirror backup ../backup.git &&
echo change1 > file && git commit -a -m change1 &&
git push origin &&
git push backup
)
The push to backup fails with:
Counting objects: 5, done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 244 bytes, done.
Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done.
error: Ref refs/remotes/origin/master is at ef3... but expected 262...
remote: error: failed to lock refs/remotes/origin/master
To ../backup.git
262cd57..ef307ff master -> master
262cd57..ef307ff origin/HEAD -> origin/HEAD
! [remote rejected] origin/master -> origin/master (failed to lock)
error: failed to push some refs to '../backup.git'
The reason is that refs/remotes/origin/HEAD is a symref to
refs/remotes/origin/master, but it is not possible for the sending side
to unambiguously know this.
This commit fixes the issue by having receive-pack ignore any update to
a symref whose target is being identically updated. If a symref and its
target are being updated inconsistently, then the update for both fails
with an error message ("refusing inconsistent update...") to help
diagnose the situation.
