attr: teach "--attr-source=" global option to "git"

2023-05-06T21:34:09Z

Earlier, 47cfc9bd (attr: add flag `--source` to work with tree-ish, 2023-01-14) taught "git check-attr" the "--source=" option to allow it to read attribute files from a tree-ish, but did so only for the command. Just like "check-attr" users wanted a way to use attributes from a tree-ish and not from the working tree files, users of other commands (like "git diff") would benefit from the same. Undo most of the UI change the commit made, while keeping the internal logic to read attributes from a given tree-ish. Expose the internal logic via a new "--attr-source=" command line option given to "git", so that it can be used with any git command that runs as part of the main git process. Additionally, add an environment variable GIT_ATTR_SOURCE that is set when --attr-source is passed in, so that subprocesses use the same value for the attributes source tree.

environment: move comment_line_char from cache.h

This is one step towards making strbuf.c not depend upon cache.h. Additional steps will follow in subsequent commits. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

environment: make `getenv_safe()` a public function

2021-01-15T21:03:45Z

The `getenv_safe()` helper function helps to safely retrieve multiple environment values without the need to depend on platform-specific behaviour for the return value's lifetime. We'll make use of this function in a following patch, so let's make it available by making it non-static and adding a declaration. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
