2019-09-05treewide: rename 'exclude' methods to 'pattern'Libravatar Derrick Stolee1-1/+1
The first consumer of pattern-matching filenames was the .gitignore feature. In that context, storing a list of patterns as a 'struct exclude_list' makes sense. However, the sparse-checkout feature then adopted these structures and methods, but with the opposite meaning: these patterns match the files that should be included! It would be clearer to rename this entire library as a "pattern matching" library, and the callers apply exclusion/inclusion logic accordingly based on their needs. This commit renames several methods defined in dir.h to make more sense with the renamed 'struct exclude_list' to 'struct pattern_list' and 'struct exclude' to 'struct path_pattern': * last_exclude_matching() -> last_matching_pattern() * parse_exclude() -> parse_path_pattern() In addition, the word 'exclude' was replaced with 'pattern' in the methods below: * add_exclude_list() * add_excludes_from_file_to_list() * add_excludes_from_file() * add_excludes_from_blob_to_list() * add_exclude() * clear_exclude_list() A few methods with the word "exclude" remain. These will be handled seperately. In particular, the method "is_excluded()" is concretely about the .gitignore file relative to a specific directory. This is the important boundary between library and consumer: is_excluded() cares about .gitignore, but is_excluded() calls last_matching_pattern() to make that decision.

The first consumer of pattern-matching filenames was the .gitignore feature. In that context, storing a list of patterns as a list of 'struct exclude' items makes sense. However, the sparse-checkout feature then adopted these structures and methods, but with the opposite meaning: these patterns match the files that should be included! It would be clearer to rename this entire library as a "pattern matching" library, and the callers apply exclusion/inclusion logic accordingly based on their needs. This commit renames 'struct exclude' to 'struct path_pattern' and renames several variable names to match. 'struct pattern' was already taken by attr.c, and this more completely describes that the patterns are specific to file paths.

In check_ignore(), the first pathspec item determines the dtype for any subsequent ones. That means that a pathspec matching a regular file can prevent following pathspecs from matching directories, which makes no sense. Fix that by determining the dtype for each pathspec separately, by passing the value DT_UNKNOWN to last_exclude_matching() each time.

Since (ae8d08242 pathspec: pass directory indicator to match_pathspec_item()) the path matching logic has been able to cope with submodules without needing to strip off a trailing slash if a path refers to a submodule. Since the stripping the trailing slash is no longer necessary, remove the PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE flag.

2016-02-01give "nbuf" strbuf a more meaningful nameLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+6
It's a common pattern in our code to read paths from stdin, separated either by newlines or NULs, and unquote as necessary. In each of these five cases we use "nbuf" to temporarily store the unquoted value. Let's give it the more meaningful name "unquoted", which makes it easier to understand the purpose of the variable. While we're at it, let's also static-initialize all of our strbufs. It's not wrong to call strbuf_init, but it increases the cognitive load on the reader, who might wonder "do we sometimes avoid initializing them? why?".

2015-10-16usage: do not insist that standard input must come from a fileLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The synopsys text and the usage string of subcommands that read list of things from the standard input are often shown like this: git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes> This is problematic in a number of ways: * The way to use these commands is more often to feed them the output from another command, not feed them from a file. * Manual pages outside Git, commands that operate on the data read from the standard input, e.g "sort", "grep", "sed", etc., are not described with such a "< redirection-from-file" in their synopsys text. Our doing so introduces inconsistency. * We do not insist on where the output should go, by saying git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes> > <output> * As it is our convention to enclose placeholders inside <braket>, the redirection operator followed by a placeholder filename becomes very hard to read, both in the documentation and in the help text. Let's clean them all up, after making sure that the documentation clearly describes the modes that take information from the standard input and what kind of things are expected on the input.

2013-09-20Merge branch 'dw/check-ignore-sans-index'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+4
"git check-ignore" follows the same rule as "git add" and "git status" in that the ignore/exclude mechanism does not take effect on paths that are already tracked. With "--no-index" option, it can be used to diagnose which paths that should have been ignored have been mistakenly added to the index. * dw/check-ignore-sans-index: check-ignore: Add option to ignore index contents
2013-09-12check-ignore: Add option to ignore index contentsLibravatar Dave Williams1-2/+4
check-ignore currently shows how .gitignore rules would treat untracked paths. Tracked paths do not generate useful output. This prevents debugging of why a path became tracked unexpectedly unless that path is first removed from the index with `git rm --cached <path>`. The option --no-index tells the command to bypass the check for the path being in the index and hence allows tracked paths to be checked too. Whilst this behaviour deviates from the characteristics of `git add` and `git status` its use case is unlikely to cause any user confusion. Test scripts are augmented to check this option against the standard ignores to ensure correct behaviour.

2013-04-15dir.c: git-status --ignored: don't scan the work tree twiceLibravatar Karsten Blees1-1/+0
'git-status --ignored' still scans the work tree twice to collect untracked and ignored files, respectively. fill_directory / read_directory already supports collecting untracked and ignored files in a single directory scan. However, the DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED flag to enable this has some git-add specific side-effects (e.g. it doesn't recurse into ignored directories, so listing ignored files with --untracked=all doesn't work). The DIR_SHOW_IGNORED flag doesn't list untracked files and returns ignored files in dir_struct.entries[] (instead of dir_struct.ignored[] as DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED). DIR_SHOW_IGNORED is used all throughout git. We don't want to break the existing API, so lets introduce a new flag DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO that lists untracked as well as ignored files similar to DIR_COLLECT_FILES, but will recurse into sub-directories based on the other flags as DIR_SHOW_IGNORED does. In dir.c::read_directory_recursive, add ignored files to either dir_struct.entries[] or dir_struct.ignored[] based on the flags. Also move the DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED case here so that filling result lists is in a common place. In wt-status.c::wt_status_collect_untracked, use the new flag and read results from dir_struct.ignored[]. Remove the extra fill_directory call. builtin/check-ignore.c doesn't call fill_directory, setting the git-add specific DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED flag has no effect here. Remove for clarity. Update API documentation to reflect the changes. Performance: with this patch, 'git-status --ignored' is typically as fast as 'git-status'.

2013-04-11check-ignore: allow incremental streaming of queries via --stdinLibravatar Adam Spiers1-10/+5
Some callers, such as the git-annex web assistant, find it useful to invoke git check-ignore as a persistent background process, which can then have queries fed to its STDIN at any point, and the corresponding response consumed from its STDOUT. For this we need to invoke check_ignore() once per line of standard input, and flush standard output after each result. The above use case suggests that empty STDIN is actually a reasonable scenario (e.g. when the caller doesn't know in advance whether any queries need to be fed to the background process until after it's already started), so we make the minor behavioural change that "no pathspec given." is no longer emitted in when STDIN is empty. Even though check_ignore() could now be changed to operate on a single pathspec, we keep it operating on an array of pathspecs since that is a more convenient way of consuming the existing pathspec API.

2013-04-11check-ignore: move setup into cmd_check_ignore()Libravatar Adam Spiers1-20/+21
Initialisation of the dir_struct and path_exclude_check structs was previously done within check_ignore(). This was acceptable since check_ignore() was only called once per check-ignore invocation; however the next commit will convert it into an inner loop which is called once per line of STDIN when --stdin is given. Therefore moving the initialisation code out into cmd_check_ignore() ensures that initialisation is still only performed once per check-ignore invocation, and consequently that the output is identical whether pathspecs are provided as CLI arguments or via STDIN.

2013-04-11check-ignore: add -n / --non-matching optionLibravatar Adam Spiers1-17/+29
If `-n` or `--non-matching` are specified, non-matching pathnames will also be output, in which case all fields in each output record except for <pathname> will be empty. This can be useful when running check-ignore as a background process, so that files can be incrementally streamed to STDIN, and for each of these files, STDOUT will indicate whether that file matched a pattern or not. (Without this option, it would be impossible to tell whether the absence of output for a given file meant that it didn't match any pattern, or that the result simply hadn't been flushed to STDOUT yet.)

2013-02-19name-hash: allow hashing an empty stringLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Usually we do not pass an empty string to the function hash_name() because we almost always ask for hash values for a path that is a candidate to be added to the index. However, check-ignore (and most likely check-attr, but I didn't check) apparently has a callchain to ask the hash value for an empty path when it was given a "." from the top-level directory to ask "Is the path . excluded by default?" Make sure that hash_name() does not overrun the end of the given pathname even when it is empty. Remove a sweep-the-issue-under-the-rug conditional in check-ignore that avoided to pass an empty string to the callchain while at it. It is a valid question to ask for check-ignore if the top-level is set to be ignored by default, even though the answer is most likely no, if only because there is currently no way to specify such an entry in the .gitignore file. But it is an unusual thing to ask and it is not worth optimizing for it by special casing at the top level of the call chain.
