* kf/askpass-config: Extend documentation of core.askpass and GIT_ASKPASS. Allow core.askpass to override SSH_ASKPASS. Add a new option 'core.askpass'.

2010-08-24pass "git -c foo=bar" params through environmentLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+54
Git uses the "-c foo=bar" parameters to set a config variable for a single git invocation. We currently do this by making a list in the current process and consulting that list in git_config. This works fine for built-ins, but the config changes are silently ignored by subprocesses, including dashed externals and invocations to "git config" from shell scripts. This patch instead puts them in an environment variable which we consult when looking at config (both internally and via calls "git config").

2010-06-06Add "core.eol" config variableLibravatar Eyvind Bernhardsen1-0/+16
Introduce a new configuration variable, "core.eol", that allows the user to set which line endings to use for end-of-line-normalized files in the working directory. It defaults to "native", which means CRLF on Windows and LF everywhere else. Note that "core.autocrlf" overrides core.eol. This means that [core] autocrlf = true puts CRLFs in the working directory even if core.eol is set to "lf".

2010-05-19Add per-repository eol normalizationLibravatar Eyvind Bernhardsen1-1/+1
Change the semantics of the "crlf" attribute so that it enables end-of-line normalization when it is set, regardless of "core.autocrlf". Add a new setting for "crlf": "auto", which enables end-of-line conversion but does not override the automatic text file detection. Add a new attribute "eol" with possible values "crlf" and "lf". When set, this attribute enables normalization and forces git to use CRLF or LF line endings in the working directory, respectively. The line ending style to be used for normalized text files in the working directory is set using "core.autocrlf". When it is set to "true", CRLFs are used in the working directory; when set to "input" or "false", LFs are used.

Some configuration variables can take boolean values in addition to enumeration specific to them.

2010-01-10ident.c: check explicit identity for name and email separatelyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+2
bb1ae3f (commit: Show committer if automatic, 2008-05-04) added a logic to check both name and email were given explicitly by the end user, but it assumed that fmt_ident() is never called before git_default_user_config() is called, which was fragile. The former calls setup_ident() and fills the "default" name and email, so the check in the config parser would have mistakenly said both are given even if only user.name was provided. Make the logic more robust by keeping track of name and email separately. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Acked-by: Santi Béjar <santi@agolina.net>

2009-10-19Introduce commit notesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+5
Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit message. These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF. The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1). The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes, maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we want to store them efficiently together with the other objects. This patch has been improved by the following contributions: - Thomas Rast: fix core.notesRef documentation - Tor Arne Vestbø: fix printing of multi-line notes - Alex Riesen: Using char array instead of char pointer costs less BSS - Johan Herland: Plug leak when msg is good, but msglen or type causes return Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Tor Arne Vestbø <tavestbo@trolltech.com> Signed-off-by: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> get_commit_notes(): Plug memory leak when 'if' triggers, but not because of read_sha1_file() failure

2009-09-13use write_str_in_full helper to avoid literal string lengthsLibravatar Jim Meyering1-1/+1
In 2d14d65 (Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers, 2009-09-03) I happened to notice two changes like this: - write_in_full(helper->in, "list\n", 5); + + strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n"); + write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len); + strbuf_reset(&buf); IMHO, it would be better to define a new function, static inline ssize_t write_str_in_full(int fd, const char *str) { return write_in_full(fd, str, strlen(str)); } and then use it like this: - strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n"); - write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len); - strbuf_reset(&buf); + write_str_in_full(helper->in, "list\n"); Thus not requiring the added allocation, and still avoiding the maintenance risk of literal string lengths. These days, compilers are good enough that strlen("literal") imposes no run-time cost. Transformed via this: perl -pi -e \ 's/write_in_full\((.*?), (".*?"), \d+\)/write_str_in_full($1, $2)/'\ $(git grep -l 'write_in_full.*"') Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-09-11push: make non-fast-forward help message configurableLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
This message is designed to help new users understand what has happened when refs fail to push. However, it does not help experienced users at all, and significantly clutters the output, frequently dwarfing the regular status table and making it harder to see.

2009-07-31config: Keep inner whitespace verbatimLibravatar Björn Steinbrink1-6/+4
Configuration values are expected to be quoted when they have leading or trailing whitespace, but inner whitespace should be kept verbatim even if the value is not quoted. This is already documented in git-config(1), but the code caused inner whitespace to be collapsed to a single space, breaking, for example, clones from a path that has two consecutive spaces in it, as future fetches would only see a single space.

2009-04-25Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliableLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+5
It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC) has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away, the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs. It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly. As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work around it in Git. At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().

2009-04-17Fix buffer overflow in config parserLibravatar Thomas Jarosch1-1/+1
When interpreting a config value, the config parser reads in 1+ space character(s) and puts -one- space character in the buffer as soon as the first non-space character is encountered (if not inside quotes). Unfortunately the buffer size check lacks the extra space character which gets inserted at the next non-space character, resulting in a crash with a specially crafted config entry. The unit test now uses Java to compile a platform independent .NET framework to output the test string in C# :o) Read: Thanks to Johannes Sixt for the correct printf call which replaces the perl invocation.

2009-03-17New config push.default to decide default behavior for pushLibravatar Finn Arne Gangstad1-0/+28
When "git push" is not told what refspecs to push, it pushes all matching branches to the current remote. For some workflows this default is not useful, and surprises new users. Some have even found that this default behaviour is too easy to trigger by accident with unwanted consequences. Introduce a new configuration variable "push.default" that decides what action git push should take if no refspecs are given or implied by the command line arguments or the current remote configuration. Possible values are: 'nothing' : Push nothing; 'matching' : Current default behaviour, push all branches that already exist in the current remote; 'tracking' : Push the current branch to whatever it is tracking; 'current' : Push the current branch to a branch of the same name, i.e. HEAD.

2009-02-21git_config(): not having a per-repo config file is not an errorLibravatar Felipe Contreras1-4/+13
Currently git_config() returns an error if there is no repo config file available (cwd is not a git repo); it will correctly parse the system and global config files, but still return an error. It doesn't affect anything else since almost nobody is checking for the return code (with the exception of 'git remote update'). A reorganization in 'git config' would benefit from being able to properly detect errors in git_config() without the noise generated when cwd is not a git repo.
