2015-01-14standardize usage info string formatLibravatar Alex Henrie1-1/+1
This patch puts the usage info strings that were not already in docopt- like format into docopt-like format, which will be a litle easier for end users and a lot easier for translators. Changes include: - Placing angle brackets around fill-in-the-blank parameters - Putting dashes in multiword parameter names - Adding spaces to [-f|--foobar] to make [-f | --foobar] - Replacing <foobar>* with [<foobar>...] Signed-off-by: Alex Henrie <alexhenrie24@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* jk/colors-fix: t4026: test "normal" color config: fix parsing of "git config --get-color some.key -1" docs: describe ANSI 256-color mode
2014-11-20config: fix parsing of "git config --get-color some.key -1"Libravatar Jeff King1-14/+13
Most of git-config's command line options use OPT_BIT to choose an action, and then parse the non-option arguments in a context-dependent way. However, --get-color and --get-colorbool are unlike the rest of the options, in that they are OPT_STRING, taking the option name as a parameter. This generally works, because we then use the presence of those strings to set an action bit anyway. But it does mean that the option-parser will continue looking for options even after the key (because it is not a non-option; it is an argument to an option). And running: git config --get-color some.key -1 (to use "-1" as the default color spec) will barf, claiming that "-1" is not an option. Instead, we should treat --get-color and --get-colorbool as action bits, just like --add, --get, and all the other actions, and then check that the non-option arguments we got are sane. This fixes the weirdness above, and makes those two options like all the others. This "fixes" a test in t4026, which checked that feeding "-2" as a color should fail (it does fail, but prior to this patch, because parseopt barfed, not because we actually ever tried to parse the color). This also catches other errors, like: git config --get-color some.key black blue which previously silently ignored "blue" (and now will complain that you gave too many arguments). There are some possible regressions, though. We now disallow these, which currently do what you would expect: # specifying other options after the action git config --get-color some.key --file whatever # using long-arg syntax git config --get-color=some.key However, we have never advertised these in the documentation, and in fact they did not work in some older versions of git. The behavior was apparently switched as an accidental side effect of d64ec16 (git config: reorganize to use parseopt, 2009-02-21).

2014-10-14color_parse: do not mention variable name in error messageLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+6
Originally the color-parsing function was used only for config variables. It made sense to pass the variable name so that the die() message could be something like: $ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'color.branch.plain' These days we call it in other contexts, and the resulting error messages are a little confusing: $ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)' fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable '--pretty format' $ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'command line' This patch teaches color_parse to complain only about the value, and then return an error code. Config callers can then propagate that up to the config parser, which mentions the variable name. Other callers can provide a custom message. After this patch these three cases now look like: $ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch error: invalid color value: bogus fatal: unable to parse 'color.branch.plain' from command-line config $ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)' error: invalid color value: bogus fatal: unable to parse --pretty format $ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus error: invalid color value: bogus fatal: unable to parse default color value Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Currently if we have a config file like, [foo] baz bar = and we try something like, "git config --add foo.baz roll", Git will segfault. Moreover, for "git config --add foo.bar roll", it will overwrite the original value instead of appending after the existing empty value. The problem lies with the regexp used for simulating --add in `git_config_set_multivar_in_file()`, "^$", which in ideal case should not match with any string but is true for empty strings. Instead use a regexp like "a^" which can not be true for any string, empty or not. For removing the segfault add a check for NULL values in `matches()` in config.c.

When the user has no ~/.gitconfig file, git config --global --edit used to launch an editor on an nonexistant file name. Instead, create a file with a default content before launching the editor. The template contains only commented-out entries, to save a few keystrokes for the user. If the values are guessed properly, the user will only have to uncomment the entries.

2013-09-09git-config: always treat --int as 64-bit internallyLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+4
When you run "git config --int", the maximum size of integer you get depends on how git was compiled, and what it considers to be an "int". This is almost useful, because your scripts calling "git config" will behave similarly to git internally. But relying on this is dubious; you have to actually know how git treats each value internally (e.g., int versus unsigned long), which is not documented and is subject to change. And even if you know it is "unsigned long", we do not have a git-config option to match that behavior. Furthermore, you may simply be asking git to store a value on your behalf (e.g., configuration for a hook). In that case, the relevant range check has nothing at all to do with git, but rather with whatever scripting tools you are using (and git has no way of knowing what the appropriate range is there). Not only is the range check useless, but it is actively harmful, as there is no way at all for scripts to look at config variables with large values. For instance, one cannot reliably get the value of pack.packSizeLimit via git-config. On an LP64 system, git happily uses a 64-bit "unsigned long" internally to represent the value, but the script cannot read any value over 2G. Ideally, the "--int" option would simply represent an arbitrarily large integer. For practical purposes, however, a 64-bit integer is large enough, and is much easier to implement (and if somebody overflows it, we will still notice the problem, and not simply return garbage).

This task emerged from b04ba2bb (parse-options: deprecate OPT_BOOLEAN, 2011-09-27). This commit introduces a change for the users, after this patch you can pass one of the config level flags multiple times: Before: $ git config --global --global --list error: only one config file at a time. usage: ... Afterwards this will work.

Using the same urlmatch_config_entry() infrastructure, add a new mode "--get-urlmatch" to the "git config" command, to learn values for the "virtual" two-level variables customized for the specific URL. git config [--<type>] --get-urlmatch <section>[.<key>] <url> With <section>.<key> fully specified, the configuration data for <section>.<urlpattern>.<key> for <urlpattern> that best matches the given <url> is sought (and if not found, <section>.<key> is used) and reported. For example, with this configuration: [http] sslVerify [http "https://weak.example.com"] cookieFile = /tmp/cookie.txt sslVerify = false You would get $ git config --bool --get-urlmatch http.sslVerify https://good.example.com true $ git config --bool --get-urlmatch http.sslVerify https://weak.example.com false With only <section> specified, you can get a list of all variables in the section with their values that apply to the given URL.

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.

2013-04-15config: 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.

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.

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.

When looking for $HOME/.gitconfig etc., it is OK if we cannot read them because they do not exist, but we did not diagnose existing files that we cannot read. * jk/config-warn-on-inaccessible-paths: warn_on_inaccessible(): a helper to warn on inaccessible paths attr: warn on inaccessible attribute files gitignore: report access errors of exclude files config: warn on inaccessible files
2012-09-03Merge branch 'jc/maint-config-exit-status'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+6
The exit status code from "git config" was way overspecified while being incorrect. Update the implementation to give the documented status for a case that was documented, and introduce a new code for "all other errors". * jc/maint-config-exit-status: config: "git config baa" should exit with status 1

2012-08-21config: warn on inaccessible filesLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
Before reading a config file, we check "!access(path, R_OK)" to make sure that the file exists and is readable. If it's not, then we silently ignore it. For the case of ENOENT, this is fine, as the presence of the file is optional. For other cases, though, it may indicate a configuration error (e.g., not having permissions to read the file). Let's print a warning in these cases to let the user know. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-07-16config: fix several access(NULL) callsLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-4/+12
When $HOME is unset, home_config_paths fails and returns NULL pointers for user_config and xdg_config. Valgrind complains with Syscall param access(pathname) points to unaddressable byte(s). Don't call blindly access() on these variables, but test them for NULL-ness before. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-06-25config: write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file when appropriateLibravatar Huynh Khoi Nguyen Nguyen1-4/+1
Teach git to write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config if - it already exists, - $HOME/.gitconfig file doesn't, and - The --global option is used. Otherwise, write to $HOME/.gitconfig when the --global option is given, as before. If the user doesn't create $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config, there is absolutely no change. Users can use this new file only if they want. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config will be used. Advice for users who often come back to an old version of Git: you shouldn't create this file.
