Flip the default for color.ui to 'auto', which is what many tutorials recommend new users to do. * mm/color-auto-default: make color.ui default to 'auto' config: refactor management of color.ui's default value
2013-06-10make color.ui default to 'auto'Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-1/+1
Most users seem to like having colors enabled, and colors can help beginners to understand the output of some commands (e.g. notice immediately the boundary between commits in the output of "git log"). Many tutorials tell the users to set color.ui=auto as a very first step, which tend to indicate that color.ui=none is not the recommanded value, hence should not be the default. These tutorials would benefit from skipping this step and starting the real Git manipulations earlier. Other beginners do not know about color.ui=auto, and may not discover it by themselves, hence live with black&white outputs while they may have preferred colors. A few people (e.g. color-blind) prefer having no colors, but they can easily set color.ui=never for this (and googling "disable colors in git" already tells them how to do so), but this needs not occupy space in beginner-oriented documentations. A transition period with Git emitting a warning when color.ui is unset would be possible, but the discomfort of having the warning seems superior to the benefit: users may be surprised by the change, but not harmed by it. The default value is changed, and the documentation is reworded to mention "color.ui=false" first, since the primary use of color.ui after this change is to disable colors, not to enable it.

2013-05-15config: refactor management of color.ui's default valueLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+5
The meaning of get_colorbool_found and get_diff_color_found is "the config value if found, and -1 otherwise", but get_color_ui_found had a slightly different meaning, as it has the value 0 (which corresponds to the default value from the user point of view) when color.ui is unset. Make get_color_ui_found default to -1, and make it explicit that 0 is the default value when nothing else is found.

2013-04-15config: allow inaccessible configuration under $HOMELibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+2
The changes v1.7.12.1~2^2~4 (config: warn on inaccessible files, 2012-08-21) and v1.8.1.1~22^2~2 (config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errors, 2012-10-13) were intended to prevent important configuration (think "[transfer] fsckobjects") from being ignored when the configuration is unintentionally unreadable (for example with EIO on a flaky filesystem, or with ENOMEM due to a DoS attack). Usually ~/.gitconfig and ~/.config/git are readable by the current user, and if they aren't then it would be easy to fix those permissions, so the damage from adding this check should have been minimal. Unfortunately the access() check often trips when git is being run as a server. A daemon (such as inetd or git-daemon) starts as "root", creates a listening socket, and then drops privileges, meaning that when git commands are invoked they cannot access $HOME and die with fatal: unable to access '/root/.config/git/config': Permission denied Any patch to fix this would have one of three problems: 1. We annoy sysadmins who need to take an extra step to handle HOME when dropping privileges (the current behavior, or any other proposal that they have to opt into). 2. We annoy sysadmins who want to set HOME when dropping privileges, either by making what they want to do impossible, or making them set an extra variable or option to accomplish what used to work (e.g., a patch to git-daemon to set HOME when --user is passed). 3. We loosen the check, so some cases which might be noteworthy are not caught. This patch is of type (3). Treat user and xdg configuration that are inaccessible due to permissions (EACCES) as though no user configuration was provided at all. An alternative method would be to check if $HOME is readable, but that would not help in cases where the user who dropped privileges had a globally readable HOME with only .config or .gitconfig being private. This does not change the behavior when /etc/gitconfig or .git/config is unreadable (since those are more serious configuration errors), nor when ~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git is unreadable due to problems other than permissions.

When given a variable without a value, such as '[section] var' and asking git-config to treat it as a path, git_config_pathname returns an error and doesn't modify its output parameter. show_config assumes that the call is always successful and sets a variable to indicate that vptr should be freed. In case of an error however, trying to do this will cause the program to be killed, as it's pointing to memory in the stack.

2012-10-24git-config: use git_config_with_optionsLibravatar Jeff King1-42/+2
The git-config command has always implemented its own file lookup and parsing order. This was necessary because its duplicate-entry handling did not match the way git's internal callbacks worked. Now that this is no longer the case, we are free to reuse the existing parsing code. This saves us a few lines of code, but most importantly, it means that the logic for which files are examined is contained only in one place and cannot diverge. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
2012-10-24git-config: do not complain about duplicate entriesLibravatar Jeff King1-18/+9
If git-config is asked for a single value, it will complain and exit with an error if it finds multiple instances of that value. This is unlike the usual internal config parsing, however, which will generally overwrite previous values, leaving only the final one. For example: [set a multivar] $ git config user.email one@example.com $ git config --add user.email two@example.com [use the internal parser to fetch it] $ git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT Your Name <two@example.com> ... [use git-config to fetch it] $ git config user.email one@example.com error: More than one value for the key user.email: two@example.com This overwriting behavior is critical for the regular parser, which starts with the lowest-priority file (e.g., /etc/gitconfig) and proceeds to the highest-priority file ($GIT_DIR/config). Overwriting yields the highest priority value at the end. Git-config solves this problem by implementing its own parsing. It goes from highest to lowest priorty, but does not proceed to the next file if it has seen a value. So in practice, this distinction never mattered much, because it only triggered for values in the same file. And there was not much point in doing that; the real value is in overwriting values from lower-priority files. However, this changed with the implementation of config include files. Now we might see an include overriding a value from the parent file, which is a sensible thing to do, but git-config will flag as a duplication. This patch drops the duplicate detection for git-config and switches to a pure-overwrite model (for the single case; --get-all can still be used if callers want to do something more fancy). As is shown by the modifications to the test suite, this is a user-visible change in behavior. An alternative would be to just change the include case, but this is much cleaner for a few reasons: 1. If you change the include case, then to what? If you just stop parsing includes after getting a value, then you will get a _different_ answer than the regular config parser (you'll get the first value instead of the last value). So you'd want to implement overwrite semantics anyway. 2. Even though it is a change in behavior for git-config, it is bringing us in line with what the internal parsers already do. 3. The file-order reimplementation is the only thing keeping us from sharing more code with the internal config parser, which will help keep differences to a minimum. Going under the assumption that the primary purpose of git-config is to behave identically to how git's internal parsing works, this change can be seen as a bug-fix.

2012-10-24git-config: collect values instead of immediately printingLibravatar Jeff King1-15/+35
This is a refactor that will allow us to more easily tweak the behavior for multi-valued variables, and it will ultimately allow us to remove a lot git-config's custom code in favor of the regular git_config code. It does mean we're no longer streaming, and we're storing more in memory for the --get-all case, but in practice it is a tiny amount of data, and the results are instantaneous.

The get_value function has a goto label for cleaning up on errors, but it only cleans up half of what the function might allocate. Let's also clean up the key and regexp variables there. Note that we need to take special care when compiling the regex fails to clean it up ourselves, since it is in a half-constructed state (we would want to free it, but not regfree it). Similarly, we fix git_config_parse_key to return NULL when it fails, not a pointer to some already-freed memory. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

2012-02-17config: add include directiveLibravatar Jeff King1-10/+28
It can be useful to split your ~/.gitconfig across multiple files. For example, you might have a "main" file which is used on many machines, but a small set of per-machine tweaks. Or you may want to make some of your config public (e.g., clever aliases) while keeping other data back (e.g., your name or other identifying information). Or you may want to include a number of config options in some subset of your repos without copying and pasting (e.g., you want to reference them from the .git/config of participating repos). This patch introduces an include directive for config files. It looks like: [include] path = /path/to/file This is syntactically backwards-compatible with existing git config parsers (i.e., they will see it as another config entry and ignore it unless you are looking up include.path). The implementation provides a "git_config_include" callback which wraps regular config callbacks. Callers can pass it to git_config_from_file, and it will transparently follow any include directives, passing all of the discovered options to the real callback. Include directives are turned on automatically for "regular" git config parsing. This includes calls to git_config, as well as calls to the "git config" program that do not specify a single file (e.g., using "-f", "--global", etc). They are not turned on in other cases, including: 1. Parsing of other config-like files, like .gitmodules. There isn't a real need, and I'd rather be conservative and avoid unnecessary incompatibility or confusion. 2. Reading single files via "git config". This is for two reasons: a. backwards compatibility with scripts looking at config-like files. b. inspection of a specific file probably means you care about just what's in that file, not a general lookup for "do we have this value anywhere at all". If that is not the case, the caller can always specify "--includes". 3. Writing files via "git config"; we want to treat include.* variables as literal items to be copied (or modified), and not expand them. So "git config --unset-all foo.bar" would operate _only_ on .git/config, not any of its included files (just as it also does not operate on ~/.gitconfig).

2012-02-17config: stop using config_exclusive_filenameLibravatar Jeff King1-24/+35
The git-config command sometimes operates on the default set of config files (either reading from all, or writing to repo config), and sometimes operates on a specific file. In the latter case, we set the magic global config_exclusive_filename, and the code in config.c does the right thing. Instead, let's have git-config use the "advanced" variants of config.c's functions which let it specify an individual filename (or NULL for the default). This makes the code a lot more obvious, and fixes two small bugs: 1. A relative path specified by GIT_CONFIG=foo will look in the wrong directory if we have to chdir as part of repository setup. We already handle this properly for "git config -f foo", but the GIT_CONFIG lookup used config_exclusive_filename directly. By dropping to a single magic variable, the GIT_CONFIG case now just works. 2. Calling "git config -f foo --edit" would not respect core.editor. This is because just before editing, we called git_config, which would respect the config_exclusive_filename setting, even though this particular git_config call was not about looking in the user's specified file, but rather about loading actual git config, just as any other git program would.

2011-08-19config: refactor get_colorbool functionLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+3
For "git config --get-colorbool color.foo", we use a custom callback that looks not only for the key that the user gave us, but also for "diff.color" (for backwards compatibility) and "color.ui" (as a fallback). For the former, we use a custom variable to store the diff.color value. For the latter, though, we store it in the main "git_use_color_default" variable, turning on color.ui for any other parts of git that respect this value. In practice, this doesn't cause any bugs, because git-config runs without caring about git_use_color_default, and then exits. But it crosses module boundaries in an unusual and confusing way, and it makes refactoring color handling harder than it needs to be.

2011-08-19color: delay auto-color decision until point of useLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
When we read a color value either from a config file or from the command line, we use git_config_colorbool to convert it from the tristate always/never/auto into a single yes/no boolean value. This has some timing implications with respect to starting a pager. If we start (or decide not to start) the pager before checking the colorbool, everything is fine. Either isatty(1) will give us the right information, or we will properly check for pager_in_use(). However, if we decide to start a pager after we have checked the colorbool, things are not so simple. If stdout is a tty, then we will have already decided to use color. However, the user may also have configured color.pager not to use color with the pager. In this case, we need to actually turn off color. Unfortunately, the pager code has no idea which color variables were turned on (and there are many of them throughout the code, and they may even have been manipulated after the colorbool selection by something like "--color" on the command line). This bug can be seen any time a pager is started after config and command line options are checked. This has affected "git diff" since 89d07f7 (diff: don't run pager if user asked for a diff style exit code, 2007-08-12). It has also affect the log family since 1fda91b (Fix 'git log' early pager startup error case, 2010-08-24). This patch splits the notion of parsing a colorbool and actually checking the configuration. The "use_color" variables now have an additional possible value, GIT_COLOR_AUTO. Users of the variable should use the new "want_color()" wrapper, which will lazily determine and cache the auto-color decision.

However, allowing such names there was useless, since there was no way to set them via config file, and no part of git actually tried to use section-less keys. This patch updates the test to use more realistic examples as well as adding its own test.

2010-02-22Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectoryLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+496
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n) [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab> builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c you get [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type] builtin/ builtin.h [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to] [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type] shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to] [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type] shortlog.c shortlog.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief. NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off around 100 choices or something. So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
