<id>urn:sha1:457f96252fcfd64127f71e8663e2e4b6dfd4576c</id>
<content type='text'>
We accept the positive version of options whose long name starts with
"no-" and are defined without the flag PARSE_OPT_NONEG.  E.g. git clone
has an explicitly defined --no-checkout option and also implicitly
accepts --checkout to override it.

parse_long_opt() handles that by restarting the option matching with the
positive version when it finds that only the current option definition
starts with "no-", but not the user-supplied argument.  This code is
located almost at the end of the matching logic.

Avoid the need for a restart by moving the code up.  We don't have to
check the positive arg against the negative long_name at all -- the
"no-" prefix of the latter makes a match impossible.  Skip it and toggle
OPT_UNSET right away to simplify the control flow.

baa4adc66a (parse-options: disable option abbreviation with
PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN, 2019-01-27) turned off support for abbreviated
options when the flag PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN is given, as any shortened
option could also be an abbreviation for one of the unknown options.

The code for handling abbreviated options is guarded by an if, but it
can also be reached via goto.  baa4adc66a only blocked the first way.
Add the condition to the other ones as well.

Each of these were checked with
   gcc -E -I. ${SOURCE_FILE} | grep ${HEADER_FILE}
to ensure that removing the direct inclusion of the header actually
resulted in that header no longer being included at all (i.e. that
no other header pulled it in transitively).

...except for a few cases where we verified that although the header
was brought in transitively, nothing from it was directly used in
that source file.  These cases were:
  * builtin/credential-cache.c

  * builtin/send-pack.c

<title>parse-options: decouple "--end-of-options" and "--"</title>

<published>2023-12-06T22:21:45Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/git/commit/?id=9385174627cbb7301b1007912514a66b75d78f31'/>
<id>urn:sha1:9385174627cbb7301b1007912514a66b75d78f31</id>
<content type='text'>
When we added generic end-of-options support in 51b4594b40
(parse-options: allow --end-of-options as a synonym for "--",
2019-08-06), we made them true synonyms. They both stop option parsing,
and they are both returned in the resulting argv if the KEEP_DASHDASH
flag is used.

The hope was that this would work for all callers:

  - most generic callers would not pass KEEP_DASHDASH, and so would just
    do the right thing (stop parsing there) without needing to know
    anything more.

  - callers with KEEP_DASHDASH were generally going to rely on
    setup_revisions(), which knew to handle --end-of-options specially

But that turned out miss quite a few cases that pass KEEP_DASHDASH but
do their own manual parsing. For example, "git reset", "git checkout",
and so on want pass KEEP_DASHDASH so they can support:

  git reset $revs -- $paths

but of course aren't going to actually do a traversal, so they don't
call setup_revisions(). And those cases currently get confused by
--end-of-options being left in place, like:

   $ git reset --end-of-options HEAD
   fatal: option '--end-of-options' must come before non-option arguments

We could teach each of these callers to handle the leftover option
explicitly. But let's try to be a bit more clever and see if we can
solve it centrally in parse-options.c.

The bogus assumption here is that KEEP_DASHDASH tells us the caller
wants to see --end-of-options in the result. But really, the callers
which need to know that --end-of-options was reached are those that may
potentially parse more options from argv. In other words, those that
pass the KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT flag.

If such a caller is aware of --end-of-options (e.g., because they call
setup_revisions() with the result), then this will continue to do the
right thing, treating anything after --end-of-options as a non-option.

And if the caller is not aware of --end-of-options, they are better off
keeping it intact, because either:

  1. They are just passing the options along to somebody else anyway, in
     which case that somebody would need to know about the
     --end-of-options marker.

  2. They are going to parse the remainder themselves, at which point
     choking on --end-of-options is much better than having it silently
     removed. The point is to avoid option injection from untrusted
     command line arguments, and bailing is better than quietly treating
     the untrusted argument as an option.

This fixes bugs with --end-of-options across several commands, but I've
focused on two in particular here:

  - t7102 confirms that "git reset --end-of-options --foo" now works.
    This checks two things. One, that we no longer barf on
    "--end-of-options" itself (which previously we did, even if the rev
    was something vanilla like "HEAD" instead of "--foo"). And two, that
    we correctly treat "--foo" as a revision rather than an option.

    This fix applies to any other cases which pass KEEP_DASHDASH but not
    KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT, like "git checkout", "git check-attr", "git grep",
    etc, which would previously choke on "--end-of-options".

  - t9350 shows the opposite case: fast-export passed KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT
    but not KEEP_DASHDASH, but then passed the result on to
    setup_revisions(). So it never saw --end-of-options, and would
    erroneously parse "fast-export --end-of-options --foo" as having a
    "--foo" option. This is now fixed.

Note that this does shut the door for callers which want to know if we
hit end-of-options, but don't otherwise need to keep unknown opts. The
obvious thing here is feeding it to the DWIM verify_filename()
machinery. And indeed, this is a problem even for commands which do
understand --end-of-options already. For example, without this patch,
you get:

  $ git log --end-of-options --foo
  fatal: option '--foo' must come before non-option arguments

because we refuse to accept "--foo" as a filename (because it starts
with a dash) even though we could know that we saw end-of-options. The
verify_filename() function simply doesn't accept this extra information.

So that is the status quo, and this patch doubles down further on that.
Commands like "git reset" have the same problem, but they won't even
know that parse-options saw --end-of-options! So even if we fixed
verify_filename(), they wouldn't have anything to pass to it.

But in practice I don't think this is a big deal. If you are being
careful enough to use --end-of-options, then you should also be using
"--" to disambiguate and avoid the DWIM behavior in the first place. In
other words, doing:

  git log --end-of-options --this-is-a-rev -- --this-is-a-path

works correctly, and will continue to do so. And likewise, with this
patch now:

  git reset --end-of-options --this-is-a-rev -- --this-is-a-path

will work, as well.

Continue the work of 12909b6b8a (i18n: turn "options are incompatible"
into "cannot be used together", 2022-01-05) and a699367bb8 (i18n:
factorize more 'incompatible options' messages, 2022-01-31) to use the
same parameterized error message for reporting incompatible command line
options.  This reduces the number of strings to translate and makes the
UI slightly more consistent.

<title>parse-options: make CMDMODE errors more precise</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0025dde775ea20c64dfedff17da15bbef047a1c9</id>
<content type='text'>
Only a single PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option can be specified for the same
variable at the same time.  This is enforced by get_value(), but the
error messages are imprecise in three ways:

1. If a non-PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option changes the value variable of a
PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option then an ominously vague message is shown:

   $ t/helper/test-tool parse-options --set23 --mode1
   error: option `mode1' : incompatible with something else

Worse: If the order of options is reversed then no error is reported at
all:

   $ t/helper/test-tool parse-options --mode1 --set23
   boolean: 0
   integer: 23
   magnitude: 0
   timestamp: 0
   string: (not set)
   abbrev: 7
   verbose: -1
   quiet: 0
   dry run: no
   file: (not set)

Fortunately this can currently only happen in the test helper; actual
Git commands don't share the same variable for the value of options with
and without the flag PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE.

2. If there are multiple options with the same value (synonyms), then
the one that is defined first is shown rather than the one actually
given on the command line, which is confusing:

   $ git am --resolved --quit
   error: option `quit' is incompatible with --continue

3. Arguments of PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE options are not handled by the
parse-option machinery.  This is left to the callback function.  We
currently only have a single affected option, --show-current-patch of
git am.  Errors for it can show an argument that was not actually given
on the command line:

   $ git am --show-current-patch --show-current-patch=diff
   error: options '--show-current-patch=diff' and '--show-current-patch=raw' cannot be used together

The options --show-current-patch and --show-current-patch=raw are
synonyms, but the error accuses the user of input they did not actually
made.  Or it can awkwardly print a NULL pointer:

   $ git am --show-current-patch=diff --show-current-patch
   error: options '--show-current-patch=(null)' and '--show-current-patch=diff' cannot be used together

The reasons for these shortcomings is that the current code checks
incompatibility only when encountering a PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option at the
command line, and that it searches the previous incompatible option by
value.

Fix the first two points by checking all PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE variables
after parsing each option and by storing all relevant details if their
value changed.  Do that whether or not the changing options has the flag
PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE set.  Report an incompatibility only if two options
change the variable to different values and at least one of them is a
PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option.  This changes the output of the first three
examples above to:

   $ t/helper/test-tool parse-options --set23 --mode1
   error: --mode1 is incompatible with --set23
   $ t/helper/test-tool parse-options --mode1 --set23
   error: --set23 is incompatible with --mode1
   $ git am --resolved --quit
   error: --quit is incompatible with --resolved

Store the argument of PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE options of type OPTION_CALLBACK
as well to allow taking over the responsibility for compatibility
checking from the callback function.  The next patch will use this
capability to fix the messages for git am --show-current-patch.

Use a linked list for storing the PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE variables.  This
somewhat outdated data structure is simple and suffices, as the number
of elements per command is currently only zero or one.  We do support
multiple different command modes variables per command, but I don't
expect that we'd ever use a significant number of them.  Once we do we
can switch to a hashmap.

Since we no longer need to search the conflicting option, the all_opts
parameter of get_value() is no longer used.  Remove it.

Extend the tests to check for both conflicting option names, but don't
insist on a particular order.
