MacOS: precompose_argv_prefix()

2021-02-03T22:09:37Z

The following sequence leads to a "BUG" assertion running under MacOS: DIR=git-test-restore-p Adiarnfd=$(printf 'A\314\210') DIRNAME=xx${Adiarnfd}yy mkdir $DIR && cd $DIR && git init && mkdir $DIRNAME && cd $DIRNAME && echo "Initial" >file && git add file && echo "One more line" >>file && echo y | git restore -p . Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/git-test-restore-p/.git/ BUG: pathspec.c:495: error initializing pathspec_item Cannot close git diff-index --cached --numstat [snip] The command `git restore` is run from a directory inside a Git repo. Git needs to split the $CWD into 2 parts: The path to the repo and "the rest", if any. "The rest" becomes a "prefix" later used inside the pathspec code. As an example, "/path/to/repo/dir-inside-repå" would determine "/path/to/repo" as the root of the repo, the place where the configuration file .git/config is found. The rest becomes the prefix ("dir-inside-repå"), from where the pathspec machinery expands the ".", more about this later. If there is a decomposed form, (making the decomposing visible like this), "dir-inside-rep°a" doesn't match "dir-inside-repå". Git commands need to: (a) read the configuration variable "core.precomposeunicode" (b) precocompose argv[] (c) precompose the prefix, if there was any The first commit, 76759c7dff53 "git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode" addressed (a) and (b). The call to precompose_argv() was added into parse-options.c, because that seemed to be a good place when the patch was written. Commands that don't use parse-options need to do (a) and (b) themselfs. The commands `diff-files`, `diff-index`, `diff-tree` and `diff` learned (a) and (b) in commit 90a78b83e0b8 "diff: run arguments through precompose_argv" Branch names (or refs in general) using decomposed code points resulting in decomposed file names had been fixed in commit 8e712ef6fc97 "Honor core.precomposeUnicode in more places" The bug report from above shows 2 things: - more commands need to handle precomposed unicode - (c) should be implemented for all commands using pathspecs Solution: precompose_argv() now handles the prefix (if needed), and is renamed into precompose_argv_prefix(). Inside this function the config variable core.precomposeunicode is read into the global variable precomposed_unicode, as before. This reading is skipped if precomposed_unicode had been read before. The original patch for preocomposed unicode, 76759c7dff53, placed precompose_argv() into parse-options.c Now add it into git.c::run_builtin() as well. Existing precompose calls in diff-files.c and others may become redundant, and if we audit the callflows that reach these places to make sure that they can never be reached without going through the new call added to run_builtin(), we might be able to remove these existing ones. But in this commit, we do not bother to do so and leave these precompose callsites as they are. Because precompose() is idempotent and can be called on an already precomposed string safely, this is safer than removing existing calls without fully vetting the callflows. There is certainly room for cleanups - this change intends to be a bug fix. Cleanups needs more tests in e.g. t/t3910-mac-os-precompose.sh, and should be done in future commits.

parse-options: add --git-completion-helper-all

2020-08-20T00:46:17Z

--git-completion-helper excludes hidden options, such as --allow-empty for git commit. This is typically helpful, but occasionally we want auto-completion for obscure flags. --git-completion-helper-all returns all options, even if they are marked as hidden or nocomplete.

parse-options: teach "git cmd -h" to show alias as alias

2020-03-16T21:27:07Z

There is a long-standing NEEDSWORK comment that complains about inconsistency between how an aliased option ("git clone --recurse" which is the only one that currently exists) gives a help text in a usage-error message vs "git cmd -h"). Get rid of it and then make sure we say an option is an alias for another, instead of repeating the same short help text for both, which leads to "they seem to do the same---is there any subtle difference?" puzzlement to end-users.

Merge branch 'pb/am-show-current-patch'

2020-03-09T18:21:19Z

"git am --short-current-patch" is a way to show the piece of e-mail for the stopped step, which is not suitable to directly feed "git apply" (it is designed to be a good "git am" input). It learned a new option to show only the patch part. * pb/am-show-current-patch: am: support --show-current-patch=diff to retrieve .git/rebase-apply/patch am: support --show-current-patch=raw as a synonym for--show-current-patch am: convert "resume" variable to a struct parse-options: convert "command mode" to a flag parse-options: add testcases for OPT_CMDMODE()

parse-options: convert "command mode" to a flag

2020-02-20T21:20:40Z

OPTION_CMDMODE is essentially OPTION_SET_INT plus an extra check that the variable had not set before. In order to allow custom processing of the option, for example a "command mode" option that also has an argument, it would be nice to use OPTION_CALLBACK and not have to rewrite the extra check on incompatible options. In other words, making the processing of the option orthogonal to the "only one of these" behavior provided by OPTION_CMDMODE. Add a new flag that takes care of the check, and modify OPT_CMDMODE to use it together with OPTION_SET_INT. The new flag still requires that the option value points to an int, but any OPTION_* value can be specified as long as it does not require a non-int type for opt->value.

C: use skip_prefix() to avoid hardcoded string length

2020-01-31T21:03:45Z

We often skip an optional prefix in a string with a hardcoded constant, e.g. if (starts_with(string, "prefix")) string += 6; which is less error prone when written skip_prefix(string, "prefix", &string); Note that this changes a few error messages from "git reflog expire --expire=nonsense.timestamp", which used to complain by saying '--expire=nonsense.timestamp' is not a valid timestamp but with this change, we say 'nonsense.timestamp' is not a valid timestamp which is more technically correct (the string with --expire= as a prefix obviously cannot be a valid timestamp, but the error is about the part of the input without that prefix).

parse-options: allow --end-of-options as a synonym for "--"

2019-08-06T20:05:39Z

The revision option parser recently learned about --end-of-options, but that's not quite enough for all callers. Some of them, like git-log, pick out some options using parse_options(), and then feed the remainder to setup_revisions(). For those cases we need to stop parse_options() from finding more options when it sees --end-of-options, and to retain that option in argv so that setup_revisions() can see it as well. Let's handle this the same as we do "--". We can even piggy-back on the handling of PARSE_OPT_KEEP_DASHDASH, because any caller that wants to retain one will want to retain the other. I've included two tests here. The "log" test covers "--source", which is one of the options it handles with parse_options(), and would fail before this patch. There's also a test that uses the parse-options helper directly. That confirms that the option is handled correctly even in cases without KEEP_DASHDASH or setup_revisions(). I.e., it is safe to use --end-of-options in place of "--" in other programs. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
