git/config.c, branch v1.8.2.2

Merge branch 'jk/config-parsing-cleanup'

2013-02-04T18:24:50Z

Configuration parsing for tar.* configuration variables were broken. Introduce a new config-keyname parser API to make the callers much less error prone. * jk/config-parsing-cleanup: reflog: use parse_config_key in config callback help: use parse_config_key for man config submodule: simplify memory handling in config parsing submodule: use parse_config_key when parsing config userdiff: drop parse_driver function convert some config callbacks to parse_config_key archive-tar: use parse_config_key when parsing config config: add helper function for parsing key names

Merge branch 'jc/custom-comment-char'

2013-02-04T18:23:49Z

Allow a configuration variable core.commentchar to customize the character used to comment out the hint lines in the edited text from the default '#'. * jc/custom-comment-char: Allow custom "comment char"

config: add helper function for parsing key names

2013-01-23T16:41:49Z

The config callback functions get keys of the general form: section.subsection.key (where the subsection may be contain arbitrary data, or may be missing). For matching keys without subsections, it is simple enough to call "strcmp". Matching keys with subsections is a little more complicated, and each callback does it in an ad-hoc way, usually involving error-prone pointer arithmetic. Let's provide a helper that keeps the pointer arithmetic all in one place. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Reviewed-by: Jonathan Nieder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Enable minimal stat checking

2013-01-22T17:33:16Z

Specifically the fields uid, gid, ctime, ino and dev are set to zero by JGit. Other implementations, eg. Git in cygwin are allegedly also somewhat incompatible with Git For Windows and on *nix platforms the resolution of the timestamps may differ. Any stat checking by git will then need to check content, which may be very slow, particularly on Windows. Since mtime and size is typically enough we should allow the user to tell git to avoid checking these fields if they are set to zero in the index. This change introduces a core.checkstat config option where the the user can select to check all fields (default), or just size and the whole second part of mtime (minimal).

Allow custom "comment char"

2013-01-16T20:48:22Z

Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #, in their commit log message. Many tracking system recognise a token of # form, for example. The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end users. They have a choice between - Don't do it. Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add. Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g. $ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds. [jc: although I started the topic, all the tests and documentation updates, many of the call sites of the new strbuf_add_commented_*() functions, and the change to git-submodule.sh scripted Porcelain are from Ralf.] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano Signed-off-by: Ralf Thielow Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'jn/warn-on-inaccessible-loosen'

2013-01-07T06:11:16Z

Deal with a situation where .config/git is a file and we notice .config/git/config is not readable due to ENOTDIR, not ENOENT. * jn/warn-on-inaccessible-loosen: config: exit on error accessing any config file doc: advertise GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errors config, gitignore: failure to access with ENOTDIR is ok

Merge branch 'jk/error-const-return'

2013-01-06T07:42:00Z

Help compilers' flow analysis by making it more explicit that error() always returns -1, to reduce false "variable used uninitialized" warnings. Looks somewhat ugly but not too much. * jk/error-const-return: silence some -Wuninitialized false positives make error()'s constant return value more visible

silence some -Wuninitialized false positives

2012-12-15T18:45:59Z

There are a few error functions that simply wrap error() and provide a standardized message text. Like error(), they always return -1; knowing that can help the compiler silence some false positive -Wuninitialized warnings. One strategy would be to just declare these as inline in the header file so that the compiler can see that they always return -1. However, gcc does not always inline them (e.g., it will not inline opterror, even with -O3), which renders our change pointless. Instead, let's follow the same route we did with error() in the last patch, and define a macro that makes the constant return value obvious to the compiler.

mailmap: support reading mailmap from blobs

2012-12-12T19:12:35Z

In a bare repository, there isn't a simple way to respect an in-tree mailmap without extracting it to a temporary file. This patch provides a config variable, similar to mailmap.file, which reads the mailmap from a blob in the repository. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'jk/config-ignore-duplicates'

2012-11-21T21:16:44Z

Drop duplicate detection from "git-config --get"; this lets it better match the internal config callbacks, which clears up some corner cases with includes. * jk/config-ignore-duplicates: builtin/config.c: Fix a sparse warning git-config: use git_config_with_options git-config: do not complain about duplicate entries git-config: collect values instead of immediately printing git-config: fix regexp memory leaks on error conditions git-config: remove memory leak of key regexp t1300: test "git config --get-all" more thoroughly t1300: remove redundant test t1300: style updates
