2019-08-21userdiff: add a builtin pattern for dts filesLibravatar Stephen Boyd1-0/+2
The Linux kernel receives many patches to the devicetree files each release. The hunk header for those patches typically show nothing, making it difficult to figure out what node is being modified without applying the patch or opening the file and seeking to the context. Let's add a builtin 'dts' pattern to git so that users can get better diff output on dts files when they use the diff=dts driver. The regex has been constructed based on the spec at devicetree.org[1] and with some help from Johannes Sixt.

2019-04-02checkout: split part of it to new command 'switch'Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+2
"git checkout" doing too many things is a source of confusion for many users (and it even bites old timers sometimes). To remedy that, the command will be split into two new ones: switch and restore. The good old "git checkout" command is still here and will be until all (or most of users) are sick of it. See the new man page for the final design of switch. The actual implementation though is still pretty much the same as "git checkout" and not completely aligned with the man page. Following patches will adjust their behavior to match the man page.

2019-01-31Support working-tree-encoding "UTF-16LE-BOM"Libravatar Torsten Bögershausen1-1/+3
Users who want UTF-16 files in the working tree set the .gitattributes like this: test.txt working-tree-encoding=UTF-16 The unicode standard itself defines 3 allowed ways how to encode UTF-16. The following 3 versions convert all back to 'g' 'i' 't' in UTF-8: a) UTF-16, without BOM, big endian: $ printf "\000g\000i\000t" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c 0000000 g i t b) UTF-16, with BOM, little endian: $ printf "\377\376g\000i\000t\000" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c 0000000 g i t c) UTF-16, with BOM, big endian: $ printf "\376\377\000g\000i\000t" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c 0000000 g i t Git uses libiconv to convert from UTF-8 in the index into ITF-16 in the working tree. After a checkout, the resulting file has a BOM and is encoded in "UTF-16", in the version (c) above. This is what iconv generates, more details follow below. iconv (and libiconv) can generate UTF-16, UTF-16LE or UTF-16BE: d) UTF-16 $ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16 | od -c 0000000 376 377 \0 g \0 i \0 t e) UTF-16LE $ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16LE | od -c 0000000 g \0 i \0 t \0 f) UTF-16BE $ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16BE | od -c 0000000 \0 g \0 i \0 t There is no way to generate version (b) from above in a Git working tree, but that is what some applications need. (All fully unicode aware applications should be able to read all 3 variants, but in practise we are not there yet). When producing UTF-16 as an output, iconv generates the big endian version with a BOM. (big endian is probably chosen for historical reasons). iconv can produce UTF-16 files with little endianess by using "UTF-16LE" as encoding, and that file does not have a BOM. Not all users (especially under Windows) are happy with this. Some tools are not fully unicode aware and can only handle version (b). Today there is no way to produce version (b) with iconv (or libiconv). Looking into the history of iconv, it seems as if version (c) will be used in all future iconv versions (for compatibility reasons). Solve this dilemma and introduce a Git-specific "UTF-16LE-BOM". libiconv can not handle the encoding, so Git pick it up, handles the BOM and uses libiconv to convert the rest of the stream.

2018-05-02doc: keep first level section header in upper caseLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+2
When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper case even if we write it otherwise. Make all 1st section headers uppercase to keep it close to the final output. This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's a good idea to maintain a consistent style for 1st section headers. Some sections perhaps should become second sections instead, where case is kept, and for better organization. I will update if anyone has suggestions about this. While at there I also make some header more consistent (e.g. examples vs example) and fix a couple minor things here and there.

UTF supports lossless conversion round tripping and conversions between UTF and other encodings are mostly round trip safe as Unicode aims to be a superset of all other character encodings. However, certain encodings (e.g. SHIFT-JIS) are known to have round trip issues [1]. Add 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding', which contains a comma separated list of encodings, to define for what encodings Git should check the conversion round trip if they are used in the 'working-tree-encoding' attribute.

2018-04-16convert: add 'working-tree-encoding' attributeLibravatar Lars Schneider1-0/+80
Git recognizes files encoded with ASCII or one of its supersets (e.g. UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1) as text files. All other encodings are usually interpreted as binary and consequently built-in Git text processing tools (e.g. 'git diff') as well as most Git web front ends do not visualize the content. Add an attribute to tell Git what encoding the user has defined for a given file. If the content is added to the index, then Git reencodes the content to a canonical UTF-8 representation.

Make it safer to normalize the line endings in a repository. Files that had been commited with CRLF will be commited with LF. The old way to normalize a repo was like this: # Make sure that there are not untracked files $ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes $ git read-tree --empty $ git add . $ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization" The user must make sure that there are no untracked files, otherwise they would have been added and tracked from now on. The new "add --renormalize" does not add untracked files: $ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes $ git add --renormalize . $ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization" Note that "git add --renormalize <pathspec>" is the short form for "git add -u --renormalize <pathspec>".

2017-06-30convert: add "status=delayed" to filter process protocolLibravatar Lars Schneider1-4/+65
Some `clean` / `smudge` filters may require a significant amount of time to process a single blob (e.g. the Git LFS smudge filter might perform network requests). During this process the Git checkout operation is blocked and Git needs to wait until the filter is done to continue with the checkout. Teach the filter process protocol, introduced in edcc8581 ("convert: add filter.<driver>.process option", 2016-10-16), to accept the status "delayed" as response to a filter request. Upon this response Git continues with the checkout operation. After the checkout operation Git calls "finish_delayed_checkout" which queries the filter for remaining blobs. If the filter is still working on the completion, then the filter is expected to block. If the filter has completed all remaining blobs then an empty response is expected. Git has a multiple code paths that checkout a blob. Support delayed checkouts only in `clone` (in unpack-trees.c) and `checkout` operations for now. The optimization is most effective in these code paths as all files of the tree are processed.

2017-06-15doc: do not use `rm .git/index` when normalizing line endingsLibravatar Andreas Heiduk1-1/+1
When illustrating how to normalize the line endings, the documentation in gitattributes tells the user to `rm .git/index`. This is incorrect for two reasons: - Users shouldn't be instructed to mess around with the internal implementation of Git using raw file system tools like `rm`. - Within a submodule or an additional working tree `.git` is just a file containing a `gitdir: <path>` pointer into the real `.git` directory. Therefore `rm .git/index` does not work. The purpose of the `rm .git/index` instruction is to remove all entries from the index without touching the working tree. The way to do this with Git is to use `read-tree --empty`.

2016-10-17convert: add filter.<driver>.process optionLibravatar Lars Schneider1-1/+154
Git's clean/smudge mechanism invokes an external filter process for every single blob that is affected by a filter. If Git filters a lot of blobs then the startup time of the external filter processes can become a significant part of the overall Git execution time. In a preliminary performance test this developer used a clean/smudge filter written in golang to filter 12,000 files. This process took 364s with the existing filter mechanism and 5s with the new mechanism. See details here: https://github.com/github/git-lfs/pull/1382 This patch adds the `filter.<driver>.process` string option which, if used, keeps the external filter process running and processes all blobs with the packet format (pkt-line) based protocol over standard input and standard output. The full protocol is explained in detail in `Documentation/gitattributes.txt`. A few key decisions: * The long running filter process is referred to as filter protocol version 2 because the existing single shot filter invocation is considered version 1. * Git sends a welcome message and expects a response right after the external filter process has started. This ensures that Git will not hang if a version 1 filter is incorrectly used with the filter.<driver>.process option for version 2 filters. In addition, Git can detect this kind of error and warn the user. * The status of a filter operation (e.g. "success" or "error) is set before the actual response and (if necessary!) re-set after the response. The advantage of this two step status response is that if the filter detects an error early, then the filter can communicate this and Git does not even need to create structures to read the response. * All status responses are pkt-line lists terminated with a flush packet. This allows us to send other status fields with the same protocol in the future.

2016-07-25Merge branch 'jc/renormalize-merge-kill-safer-crlf'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+9
"git merge" with renormalization did not work well with merge-recursive, due to "safer crlf" conversion kicking in when it shouldn't. * jc/renormalize-merge-kill-safer-crlf: merge: avoid "safer crlf" during recording of merge results convert: unify the "auto" handling of CRLF

Before this change, $ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes $ echo "* eol=crlf" >>.gitattributes would have the same effect as $ echo "* text" >.gitattributes $ git config core.eol crlf Since the 'eol' attribute had higher priority than 'text=auto', this may corrupt binary files and is not what most users expect to happen. Make the 'eol' attribute to obey 'text=auto' and now $ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes $ echo "* eol=crlf" >>.gitattributes behaves the same as $ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes $ git config core.eol crlf In other words, $ echo "* text=auto eol=crlf" >.gitattributes has the same effect as $ git config core.autocrlf true and $ echo "* text=auto eol=lf" >.gitattributes has the same effect as $ git config core.autocrlf input Signed-off-by: Torsten Bögershausen <tboegi@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-06-03userdiff: add built-in pattern for CSSLibravatar William Duclot1-0/+2
CSS is widely used, motivating it being included as a built-in pattern. It must be noted that the word_regex for CSS (i.e. the regex defining what is a word in the language) does not consider '.' and '#' characters (in CSS selectors) to be part of the word. This behavior is documented by the test t/t4018/css-rule. The logic behind this behavior is the following: identifiers in CSS selectors are identifiers in a HTML/XML document. Therefore, the '.'/'#' character are not part of the identifier, but an indicator of the nature of the identifier in HTML/XML (class or id). Diffing ".class1" and ".class2" must show that the class name is changed, but we still are selecting a class. Logic behind the "pattern" regex is: 1. reject lines ending with a colon/semicolon (properties) 2. if a line begins with a name in column 1, pick the whole line Credits to Johannes Sixt (j6t@kdbg.org) for the pattern regex and most of the tests.
