2018-11-12build: fix broken command-list.h generation with core.autocrlfLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+1
The script generate-cmdlist.sh needs input text files in UNIX line ending to work correctly. It's been fine even with core.autocrlf set because Documentation/git-*.txt is forced LF conversion. But this leaves out gitk.txt and also Documentation/*config.txt that recently becomes new input for this script. Update the attribute file to force LF on all *.txt files to be on the safe side. For more details, please see 00ddc9d13c (Fix build with core.autocrlf=true - 2017-05-09) Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-08-29.gitattributes: add conflict-marker-size for relevant filesLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-0/+4
Some files in git.git contain lines that look like conflict markers, either in examples or tests, or in the case of Documentation/gitk.txt because of the asciidoc heading. Having conflict markers the same length as the actual content can be confusing for humans, and is impossible to handle for tools like 'git rerere'. Work around that by setting the 'conflict-marker-size' attribute for those files to 32, which makes the conflict markers unambiguous.

2018-04-27.gitattributes: add a diff driver for PythonLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+1
Declare that the *.py files in our tree are Python for the purposes of diffing, and as in 00ddc9d13c ("Fix build with core.autocrlf=true", 2017-05-09) set eol=lf on them, which makes sense like with the *.perl files.

2018-04-27.gitattributes: use the "perl" differ for PerlLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-3/+3
As noted in gitattributes(5) this gives better patch context for these types of files. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-04-27.gitattributes: add *.pl extension for PerlLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+1
Change the list of Perl extensions added in 00ddc9d13c ("Fix build with core.autocrlf=true", 2017-05-09) to also include *.pl, we have some of those in the tree, e.g. in t/. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-05-10Fix build with core.autocrlf=trueLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+7
On Windows, the default line endings are denoted by a Carriage Return byte followed by a Line Feed byte, while Linux and MacOSX use a single Line Feed byte to denote a line ending. To help with this situation, Git introduced several mechanisms over the last decade, most prominently the `core.autocrlf` setting. Sometimes, however, a single setting is incorrect, e.g. when certain files in the source code are to be consumed by software that can handle only LF line endings, while other files can use whatever is appropriate for the current platform. To allow for that, Git added the `eol` option to its .gitattributes handling, expecting every user of Git to mark their source code appropriately. Bash assumes that line-endings of scripts are denoted by a single Line Feed byte. Therefore, shell scripts in Git's source code are one example where that `eol=lf` option is *required*. When generating common-cmds.h, the Unix tools we use generally operate on the assumption that input and output deliminate their lines using LF-only line endings. Consequently, they would happily copy the CR byte verbatim into the strings in common-cmds.h, which in turn makes the C preprocessor barf (that interprets them as MacOS-style line endings). Therefore, we have to mark the input files as LF-only: command-list.txt and Documentation/git-*.txt. Quite a bit belatedly, this patch brings Git's own source code in line with those expectations by setting those attributes to allow for a correct build even when core.autocrlf=true. This patch can be validated even on Linux, by using this cadence: git config core.autocrlf true rm .git/index && git stash make -j15 DEVELOPER=1 Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Reviewed-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-07-07.gitattributes: set file type for C filesLibravatar René Scharfe1-1/+1
Set the diff attribute for C source file to "cpp" in order to improve git's ability to determine hunk headers. In particular it helps avoid showing unindented labels in hunk headers. That in turn is useful for git diff -W and git grep -W, which show whole functions now instead of stopping at a label.

2009-06-21.gitattributes: CR at the end of the line is an errorLibravatar Nanako Shiraishi1-1/+1
When a CR is accidentally added at the end of a C source file in the git project tree, "git diff --check" doesn't detect it as an error. $ echo abQ | tr Q '\015' >>fast-import.c $ git diff --check I think this is because the "whitespace" attribute is set to *.[ch] files without specifying what kind of errors are caught. It makes git "notice all types of errors" (as described in the documentation), but I think it is incorrectly setting cr-at-eol, too, and hides this error.

2008-02-11Define the project whitespace policyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
This establishes what the "bad" whitespaces are for this project. The rules are: - Unless otherwise specified, indent with SP that could be replaced with HT are not "bad". But SP before HT in the indent is "bad", and trailing whitespaces are "bad". - For C source files, initial indent by SP that can be replaced with HT is also "bad". - Test scripts in t/ and test vectors in its subdirectories can contain anything, so we make it unrestricted for now. Anything "bad" will be shown in WHITESPACE error indicator in diff output, and "apply --whitespace=warn" will warn about it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
