Description Adam Barth 2009-07-12 22:45:06 PDT
I now land all my patches via bugzilla-tool (in an SVN working copy), but when I land patches with executable files (like perl scripts), bugzilla-tool screws up and forgets the executable bit.  The makes me do a followup patch where I set the executable bit.
Comment 1 Eric Seidel (no email) 2009-07-12 23:08:09 PDT
Yeah, this has nothing really to do with bugzilla-tool.  It's more svn-apply.  Although I guess we'd have to make git format-patch understand executable bit too...
Comment 2 Adam Barth 2009-07-12 23:24:15 PDT
Mark Rowe tells me that git already understands the executable bit.  That's what the modes are telling you in git patch files.
Comment 3 Eric Seidel (no email) 2009-07-13 00:28:21 PDT
Ok.  The problem is still on the patch-application end I would assume.  I know that svn-create-patch includes this kind of information.  So we just need to make svn-apply smart enough to use it (I'm kinda surprised it is not already).
Comment 4 Eric Seidel (no email) 2009-11-11 12:26:55 PST
Turns out that this is actually already listed as a "fixme" in svn-apply:

# Missing features:
#
#   Handle property changes.

Patch

As a holdover to the complete refactoring or complete rewrite of svn-apply/unapply, I have put together a patch to add executable bit support.

Nit: Space between "=~" and "/" (this occurs in many different places)

Nit: I just looked it up and =~ returns true/false (1 or 0) automatically:
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlrequick.html#Simple-word-matching

Thus the last two lines could just be:

  return $patch =~/\n(Added|Deleted): svn:executable\n/;

In order to check the regex's for git I had to make a mini repo and see what the output was on a simple diff. You have a test for SVN, would it be possible to create a test for reading a git diff? That would also make it easy for a reviewer to see the format of a git diff for such a case, and how the regexes match it.

Patch with unit tests

Updated patch based on Eric's suggestions. Separated the parsing of the Git file mode into its own subroutine parseGitFileMode and added a unit test for it.
Comment 13 Daniel Bates 2010-04-09 00:25:16 PDT
Oops, I should say Joseph Pecoraro's suggestions, not Eric's.
Comment 14 Joseph Pecoraro 2010-04-09 16:43:01 PDT
Whoops, I wasn't CC'd. The new patch looks better to me. I'd still prefer someone who really works with perl  / scripts more often to look it over for a review. Adam or Eric? Thanks for addressing my comments Daniel!

Patch with unit tests

This look good.  But why is adding/removing the property not symmetric?  Why can't we just have a "toggle" method for the executable property?  Does adding the property not cause svn to chmod +x the file?

Patch with unit tests

Seems we should add a FIXME in this method about making it more generic:
 125 sub isSVNProperty($)
 126 {
 127     my ($patch) = @_;
 128     return $patch =~ /\n(Added|Deleted): svn:executable\n/;


We need a comment here to explain why this can't just be part of the _git2svn filter stuff.
appendSVNExecutableBitChangeToPatch


We should probably write a FIXME that these modes are fragile:
     $$patchRef .= "Added: svn:executable\n" if $fileMode eq "100755";
 139     $$patchRef .= "Deleted: svn:executable\n" if $fileMode eq "100644";

This line needs a comment:
 179     $propertyChangePath = "" if ($propertyChangePath && /^   (\+|-) \*$/);

Since the if is generic, maybe this should be a generically named subroutine:

392             # Change executable bit.
 393             if ($patch =~ /Added: svn:executable\n/) {
 394                 scmAddExecutableProperty($fullPath);
 395             } elsif ($patch =~ /Deleted: svn:executable\n/) {
 396                 scmRemoveExecutableProperty($fullPath);
 397             }

applySVNPropertyChange?

This needs a comment, or better yet to be turned into some sort of subroutine with a descriptive name:
 146     $propertyChangePath = "" if ($propertyChangePath && /^   (\+|-) \*$/);


Given that we do this check 3? 4? times, mabye this shoudl also be a subroutine:
 185     unless ($patch =~ m|^Index: ([^\r\n]+)| || $patch =~ m|^Property changes on: ([^\r\n]+)|) {
isStartOfPatchOrPropertyChange($line)?

This code is duplicated and should be shared:
             # Reverse change of executable bit.
 247             if ($patch =~ /Added: svn:executable\n/) {
 248                 scmRemoveExecutableProperty($fullPath);
 249             } elsif ($patch =~ /Deleted: svn:executable\n/) {
 250                 scmAddExecutableProperty($fullPath);
 251             }

maybe togglePropertyChange($patch, isApply=False) or something?

In general I think this looks fantastic!  I would love to see it cleaned up a little more though.

Just a side note regarding this patch.  I'm sorry I never got around to landing this--

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34033

That patch refactors svn-apply and svn-unapply to use a unit-tested parsePatch() method that returns a patch "object" (the method and unit tests have already been checked in):

http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebKitTools/Scripts/VCSUtils.pm?rev=56472#L549

If that were landed, then some of the logic in this patch could go into the parseDiffHeader() method:

http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebKitTools/Scripts/VCSUtils.pm#L387

and the diff object could be adjusted to have a property representing whether the executable bit should be set or unset.  I should really get around to landing that, which will require additional changes once this lands.

Patch with unit tests

Tab city batman!

You're right, parseStartOfPatchOrPropertyChange is not really a win.

+    if (my $filePath = parseStartOfPatchOrPropertyChange($_)) {
+        if (/^Index: (.+)/) {
+            $indexPath = $filePath;
+        } else {
+            $propertyChangePath = $filePath;
+        }

would hav ebeen cleaner as just:

if (index thingy) {

} else (property thingy) {

}

instead of the double-check inside the function.  Not sure.  I mean, you could have done two functions instead.

if (my filePath = parseStartOfPatch()) {

} else (my propertyName = prasePropertyChange()) {

}

Either way, I don't need to see this again.  But consider the above.

Updated patch to work correctly when patching a file that also has a property change. Refactored bookkeeping code to apply/unapply a patch and added a unit test Scripts/webkitperl/VCSUtils_unittest/processDiffAndPropertyChange.pl.

FYI, Dan and I discussed this report at the webkit-meeting.  We decided that it would make sense to land this patch first:

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34033

And then work together on incorporating the code in this report into the new unit-tested svn-apply code.  I should have an updated patch for bug 34033 shortly (within a couple days).
