attr: add flag `--source` to work with tree-ish

2023-01-14T16:49:55Z

The contents of the .gitattributes files may evolve over time, but "git check-attr" always checks attributes against them in the working tree and/or in the index. It may be beneficial to optionally allow the users to check attributes taken from a commit other than HEAD against paths. Add a new flag `--source` which will allow users to check the attributes against a commit (actually any tree-ish would do). When the user uses this flag, we go through the stack of .gitattributes files but instead of checking the current working tree and/or in the index, we check the blobs from the provided tree-ish object. This allows the command to also be used in bare repositories. Since we use a tree-ish object, the user can pass "--source HEAD:subdirectory" and all the attributes will be looked up as if subdirectory was the root directory of the repository. We cannot simply use the `:` syntax without the `--source` flag, similar to how it is used in `git show` because any non-flag parameter before `--` is treated as an attribute and any parameter after `--` is treated as a pathname. The change involves creating a new function `read_attr_from_blob`, which given the path reads the blob for the path against the provided source and parses the attributes line by line. This function is plugged into `read_attr()` function wherein we go through the stack of attributes files.

convert trivial uses of strncmp() to skip_prefix()

2023-01-08T01:34:37Z

As with the previous patch, using skip_prefix() is more readable and less error-prone than a raw strncmp(), because it avoids a manually-computed length. These cases differ from the previous patch that uses starts_with() because they care about the value after the matched prefix. We can convert these to use skip_prefix() by introducing an extra variable to hold the out-pointer. Note in the case in ws.c that to get rid of the magic number "9" completely, we also switch out "len" for recomputing the pointer difference. These are equivalent because "len" is always "ep - string". Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

ws: drop unused parameter from ws_blank_line()

2022-12-13T13:16:23Z

We take a ws_rule parameter, but have never looked at it since the function was added in 877f23ccb8 (Teach "diff --check" about new blank lines at end, 2008-06-26). A comment in the function does mention how we _could_ use it, but nobody has felt the need to do so for over a decade. We could keep it around as reminder of what could be done, but the comment serves that purpose. And in the meantime, it triggers -Wunused-parameter. So let's drop it, which in turn allows us to drop similar arguments further up the callstack. I've left the comment intact. It does still say "ws_rule", but that name is used consistently in the whitespace code, so the meaning is clear. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

attr: remove an implicit dependency on the_index

2018-08-13T21:14:42Z

Make the attr API take an index_state instead of assuming the_index in attr code. All call sites are converted blindly to keep the patch simple and retain current behavior. Individual call sites may receive further updates to use the right index instead of the_index. There is one ugly temporary workaround added in attr.c that needs some more explanation. Commit c24f3abace (apply: file commited with CRLF should roundtrip diff and apply - 2017-08-19) forces one convert_to_git() call to NOT read the index at all. But what do you know, we read it anyway by falling back to the_index. When "istate" from convert_to_git is now propagated down to read_attr_from_array() we will hit segfault somewhere inside read_blob_data_from_index. The right way of dealing with this is to kill "use_index" variable and only follow "istate" but at this stage we are not ready for that: while most git_attr_set_direction() calls just passes the_index to be assigned to use_index, unpack-trees passes a different one which is used by entry.c code, which has no way to know what index to use if we delete use_index. So this has to be done later. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

attr: convert git_check_attrs() callers to use the new API

2017-02-01T21:46:52Z

The remaining callers are all simple "I have N attributes I am interested in. I'll ask about them with various paths one by one". After this step, no caller to git_check_attrs() remains. After removing it, we can extend "struct attr_check" struct with data that can be used in optimizing the query for the specific N attributes it contains.

attr: rename function and struct related to checking attributes

2017-02-01T21:46:52Z

The traditional API to check attributes is to prepare an N-element array of "struct git_attr_check" and pass N and the array to the function "git_check_attr()" as arguments. In preparation to revamp the API to pass a single structure, in which these N elements are held, rename the type used for these individual array elements to "struct attr_check_item" and rename the function to "git_check_attrs()".
