gitattributes.txt: document how to normalize the line endings

2017-04-13T22:53:41Z

The instructions how to normalize the line endings should have been updated as part of commit 6523728499e 'convert: unify the "auto" handling of CRLF', (but that part never made it into the commit). Update the documentation in Documentation/gitattributes.txt and add a test case in t0025.

attr: support quoting pathname patterns in C style

2017-02-01T21:46:52Z

Full pattern must be quoted. So 'pat"t"ern attr' will give exactly 'pat"t"ern', not 'pattern'. Also clarify that leading whitespaces are not part of the pattern and document comment syntax.

docs: warn about possible '=' in clean/smudge filter process values

2016-12-06T19:29:52Z

A pathname value in a clean/smudge filter process "key=value" pair can contain the '=' character (introduced in edcc858). Make the user aware of this issue in the docs, add a corresponding test case, and fix the issue in filter process value parser of the example implementation in contrib.

contrib/long-running-filter: add long running filter example

Add a simple pass-thru filter as example implementation for the Git filter protocol version 2. See Documentation/gitattributes.txt, section "Filter Protocol" for more info. Signed-off-by: Lars Schneider Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

convert: add filter..process option

2016-10-17T18:45:52Z

Git's clean/smudge mechanism invokes an external filter process for every single blob that is affected by a filter. If Git filters a lot of blobs then the startup time of the external filter processes can become a significant part of the overall Git execution time. In a preliminary performance test this developer used a clean/smudge filter written in golang to filter 12,000 files. This process took 364s with the existing filter mechanism and 5s with the new mechanism. See details here: https://github.com/github/git-lfs/pull/1382 This patch adds the `filter..process` string option which, if used, keeps the external filter process running and processes all blobs with the packet format (pkt-line) based protocol over standard input and standard output. The full protocol is explained in detail in `Documentation/gitattributes.txt`. A few key decisions: * The long running filter process is referred to as filter protocol version 2 because the existing single shot filter invocation is considered version 1. * Git sends a welcome message and expects a response right after the external filter process has started. This ensures that Git will not hang if a version 1 filter is incorrectly used with the filter..process option for version 2 filters. In addition, Git can detect this kind of error and warn the user. * The status of a filter operation (e.g. "success" or "error) is set before the actual response and (if necessary!) re-set after the response. The advantage of this two step status response is that if the filter detects an error early, then the filter can communicate this and Git does not even need to create structures to read the response. * All status responses are pkt-line lists terminated with a flush packet. This allows us to send other status fields with the same protocol in the future.

gitattributes: Document the unified "auto" handling

2016-08-26T20:54:16Z

Update the documentation about text=auto: text=auto now follows the core.autocrlf handling when files are not normalized in the repository. For a cross platform project recommend the usage of attributes for line-ending conversions. Signed-off-by: Torsten Bögershausen Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
