Merge branch 'jc/attr-source-tree'

2023-05-17T17:11:41Z

"git --attr-source= cmd $args" is a new way to have any command to read attributes not from the working tree but from the given tree object. * jc/attr-source-tree: attr: teach "--attr-source=" global option to "git"

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.

hash-ll.h: split out of hash.h to remove dependency on repository.h

2023-04-24T19:47:32Z

hash.h depends upon and includes repository.h, due to the definition and use of the_hash_algo (defined as the_repository->hash_algo). However, most headers trying to include hash.h are only interested in the layout of the structs like object_id. Move the parts of hash.h that do not depend upon repository.h into a new file hash-ll.h (the "low level" parts of hash.h), and adjust other files to use this new header where the convenience inline functions aren't needed. This allows hash.h and object.h to be fairly small, minimal headers. It also exposes a lot of hidden dependencies on both path.h (which was brought in by repository.h) and repository.h (which was previously implicitly brought in by object.h), so also adjust other files to be more explicit about what they depend upon.

abspath.h: move absolute path functions from cache.h

2023-03-21T17:56:52Z

This is another step towards letting us remove the include of cache.h in strbuf.c. It does mean that we also need to add includes of abspath.h in a number of C files. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

treewide: be explicit about dependence on gettext.h

2023-03-21T17:56:51Z

Dozens of files made use of gettext functions, without explicitly including gettext.h. This made it more difficult to find which files could remove a dependence on cache.h. Make C files explicitly include gettext.h if they are using it. However, while compat/fsmonitor/fsm-ipc-darwin.c should also gain an include of gettext.h, it was left out to avoid conflicting with an in-flight topic.

docs & comments: replace mentions of "git-add--interactive.perl"

2023-02-06T23:03:34Z

Now that we've removed "git-add--interactive.perl" let's replace mentions of it with "add-interactive.c". In the case of the "git add" documentation we were using it as an example filename, so the mention wasn't wrong, but using a dead file is slightly confusing. The "borrowed" comment here likewise isn't wrong, but let's mention the successor file instead. In the case of pathspec.c the implied TODO item should refer to the current code (and the comment may not even be current, I didn't check).
