Subject: [PATCH v15 0/6] fsmonitor: option to allow fsmonitor to run against network-mounted repos

From: "Eric DeCosta via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 04 Oct 2022 17:32:25 +0000

Follow-on to the work done to allow Windows to work against network-mounted
repos for macOS.

Have macOS take advantage of the same configuration option,
'fsmonitor.allowRemote' that was introduced for Windows. Setting this option
to true will override the default behavior (erroring-out) when a
network-mounted repo is detected by fsmonitor.

The added wrinkle being that the Unix domain socket (UDS) file used for IPC
cannot be created in a network location; instead $HOME is used if the
default location is on the network. The user may, optionally, set the
'fsmonitor.socketDir' configuration option to a valid, local directory if
$HOME itself is on the network or is simply not the desired location for the
UDS file.

An additional issue is that for mount points in the root directory, FSEvents
does not report a path that matches the worktree directory due to the
introduction of 'synthetic firmlinks'. fsmonitor must map the FSEvents paths
to the worktree directory by interrogating the root filesystem for synthetic
firmlinks and using that information to translate the path.

v15 differs from v14:

 * fix memory leak

v14 differs from v13:

 * code review feedback

v13 differs from v12:

 * code review feedback

v12 differs from v11:

 * bug fixes

v11 differs from v10:

 * incorporates code review feedback
 * fix memory leak in fsm-listen-darwin.c

v10 differs from v9:

 * incorporates code review feedback
 * improves error messaging for incompatible socket directory

v9 differs from v8:

 * incorporates code review feedback
 * check for incompatibility before communicating with fsmonitor

v8 differs from v7:

 * incorporates code review feedback
 * gets the rebase right

v7 differs from v6:

 * incorporates code review feedback

v6 differs from v5:

 * incorporates earlier, Windows-specific changes that have not made it back
   yet to the master branch
 * incorporates code review feedback
 * adds documentation for 'fsmonitor.allowRemote' and 'fsmonitor.socketDir'

v5 differs significantly from earlier versions:

 * redesign of handling 'fsmonitor.allowRemote' and 'fsmonitor.socketDir'
   such that these options are no longer added to the settings data
   structure but are rather read from config at point of use
 * refactoring of code for handling platform-specific file system checks via
   a common interface to avoid platform #ifdef in IPC code and be in-model
   with other platform-specific fsmonitor code
 * dealing with 'synthetic firmlinks' on macOS

Eric DeCosta (6):
  fsmonitor: refactor filesystem checks to common interface
  fsmonitor: relocate socket file if .git directory is remote
  fsmonitor: avoid socket location check if using hook
  fsmonitor: deal with synthetic firmlinks on macOS
  fsmonitor: check for compatability before communicating with fsmonitor
  fsmonitor: add documentation for allowRemote and socketDir options
