* cn/maint-lf-to-crlf-filter: lf_to_crlf_filter(): tell the caller we added "\n" when draining convert: track state in LF-to-CRLF filter
2011-12-18lf_to_crlf_filter(): resurrect CRLF->CRLF hackLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-10/+50
The non-streaming version of the filter counts CRLF and LF in the whole buffer, and returns without doing anything when they match (i.e. what is recorded in the object store already uses CRLF). This was done to help people who added files from the DOS world before realizing they want to go cross platform and adding .gitattributes to tell Git that they only want CRLF in their working tree. The streaming version of the filter does not want to read the whole thing before starting to work, as that defeats the whole point of streaming. So we instead check what byte follows CR whenever we see one, and add CR before LF only when the LF does not immediately follow CR already to keep CRLF as is.

2011-12-16lf_to_crlf_filter(): tell the caller we added "\n" when drainingLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+7
This can only happen when the input size is multiple of the buffer size of the cascade filter (16k) and ends with an LF, but in such a case, the code forgot to tell the caller that it added the "\n" it could not add during the last round. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-11-28convert: track state in LF-to-CRLF filterLibravatar Carlos Martín Nieto1-13/+37
There may not be enough space to store CRLF in the output. If we don't fill the buffer, then the filter will keep getting called with the same short buffer and will loop forever. Instead, always store the CR and record whether there's a missing LF if so we store it in the output buffer the next time the function gets called.

2011-11-21convert.c: Fix return type of git_path_check_eol()Libravatar Ramsay Jones1-1/+1
The git_path_check_eol() function converts a string value to the corresponding 'enum eol' value. However, the function is currently declared to return an 'enum crlf_action', which causes sparse to complain thus: SP convert.c convert.c:736:50: warning: mixing different enum types convert.c:736:50: int enum crlf_action versus convert.c:736:50: int enum eol In order to suppress the warning, we simply correct the return type in the function declaration.

2011-05-26stream filter: add "no more input" to the filtersLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+5
Some filters may need to buffer the input and look-ahead inside it to decide what to output, and they may consume more than zero bytes of input and still not produce any output. After feeding all the input, pass NULL as input as keep calling stream_filter() to let such filters know there is no more input coming, and it is time for them to produce the remaining output based on the buffered input.

2011-05-26Add streaming filter APILibravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+77
This introduces an API to plug custom filters to an input stream. The caller gets get_stream_filter("path") to obtain an appropriate filter for the path, and then uses it when opening an input stream via open_istream(). After that, the caller can read from the stream with read_istream(), and close it with close_istream(), just like an unfiltered stream. This only adds a "null" filter that is a pass-thru filter, but later changes can add LF-to-CRLF and other filters, and the callers of the streaming API do not have to change.

2011-05-20streaming_write_entry(): use streaming API in write_entry()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+23
When the output to a path does not have to be converted, we can read from the object database from the streaming API and write to the file in the working tree, without having to hold everything in the memory. The ident, auto- and safe- crlf conversions inherently require you to read the whole thing before deciding what to do, so while it is technically possible to support them by using a buffer of an unbound size or rewinding and reading the stream twice, it is less practical than the traditional "read the whole thing in core and convert" approach. Adding streaming filters for the other conversions on top of this should be doable by tweaking the can_bypass_conversion() function (it should be renamed to can_filter_stream() when it happens). Then the streaming API can be extended to wrap the git_istream streaming_write_entry() opens on the underlying object in another git_istream that reads from it, filters what is read, and let the streaming_write_entry() read the filtered result. But that is outside the scope of this series. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-05-09convert: make it harder to screw up adding a conversion attributeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-41/+38
The current internal API requires the callers of setup_convert_check() to supply the git_attr_check structures (hence they need to know how many to allocate), but they grab the same set of attributes for given path.

2011-05-09convert: give saner names to crlf/eol variables, types and functionsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-30/+31
Back when the conversion was only about the end-of-line convention, it might have made sense to call what we do upon seeing CR/LF simply an "action", but these days the conversion routines do a lot more than just tweaking the line ending. Raname "action" to "crlf_action". The function that decides what end of line conversion to use on the output codepath was called "determine_output_conversion", as if there is no other kind of output conversion. Rename it to "output_eol"; it is a function that returns what EOL convention is to be used. A function that decides what "crlf_action" needs to be used on the input codepath, given what conversion attribute is set to the path and global end-of-line convention, was called "determine_action". Rename it to "input_crlf_action". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Yes, it is clear that "eol" wants to mean some sort of end-of-line thing, but as the name of a global variable, it is way too short to describe what kind of end-of-line thing it wants to represent.

2010-07-02Avoid conflicts when merging branches with mixed normalizationLibravatar Eyvind Bernhardsen1-2/+14
Currently, merging across changes in line ending normalization is painful since files containing CRLF will conflict with normalized files, even if the only difference between the two versions is the line endings. Additionally, any "real" merge conflicts that exist are obscured because every line in the file has a conflict. Assume you start out with a repo that has a lot of text files with CRLF checked in (A): o---C / \ A---B---D B: Add "* text=auto" to .gitattributes and normalize all files to LF-only C: Modify some of the text files D: Try to merge C You will get a ridiculous number of LF/CRLF conflicts when trying to merge C into D, since the repository contents for C are "wrong" wrt the new .gitattributes file. Fix ll-merge so that the "base", "theirs" and "ours" stages are passed through convert_to_worktree() and convert_to_git() before a three-way merge. This ensures that all three stages are normalized in the same way, removing from consideration differences that are only due to normalization. This feature is optional for now since it changes a low-level mechanism and is not necessary for the majority of users. The "merge.renormalize" config variable enables it.

2010-06-06Add "core.eol" config variableLibravatar Eyvind Bernhardsen1-24/+36
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.

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.

2010-05-11autocrlf: Make it work also for un-normalized repositoriesLibravatar Finn Arne Gangstad1-0/+49
Previously, autocrlf would only work well for normalized repositories. Any text files that contained CRLF in the repository would cause problems, and would be modified when handled with core.autocrlf set. Change autocrlf to not do any conversions to files that in the repository already contain a CR. git with autocrlf set will never create such a file, or change a LF only file to contain CRs, so the (new) assumption is that if a file contains a CR, it is intentional, and autocrlf should not change that. The following sequence should now always be a NOP even with autocrlf set (assuming a clean working directory): git checkout <something> touch * git add -A . (will add nothing) git commit (nothing to commit) Previously this would break for any text file containing a CR. Some of you may have been folowing Eyvind's excellent thread about trying to make end-of-line translation in git a bit smoother. I decided to attack the problem from a different angle: Is it possible to make autocrlf behave non-destructively for all the previous problem cases? Stealing the problem from Eyvind's initial mail (paraphrased and summarized a bit): 1. Setting autocrlf globally is a pain since autocrlf does not work well with CRLF in the repo 2. Setting it in individual repos is hard since you do it "too late" (the clone will get it wrong) 3. If someone checks in a file with CRLF later, you get into problems again 4. If a repository once has contained CRLF, you can't tell autocrlf at which commit everything is sane again 5. autocrlf does needless work if you know that all your users want the same EOL style. I belive that this patch makes autocrlf a safe (and good) default setting for Windows, and this solves problems 1-4 (it solves 2 by being set by default, which is early enough for clone). I implemented it by looking for CR charactes in the index, and aborting any conversion attempt if this is found.

2009-07-05run_command: return exit code as positive valueLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-1/+1
As a general guideline, functions in git's code return zero to indicate success and negative values to indicate failure. The run_command family of functions followed this guideline. But there are actually two different kinds of failure: - failures of system calls; - non-zero exit code of the program that was run. Usually, a non-zero exit code of the program is a failure and means a failure to the caller. Except that sometimes it does not. For example, the exit code of merge programs (e.g. external merge drivers) conveys information about how the merge failed, and not all exit calls are actually failures. Furthermore, the return value of run_command is sometimes used as exit code by the caller. This change arranges that the exit code of the program is returned as a positive value, which can now be regarded as the "result" of the function. System call failures continue to be reported as negative values. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-02-06safecrlf: Add mechanism to warn about irreversible crlf conversionsLibravatar Steffen Prohaska1-6/+41
CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data. autocrlf=true will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git. For text files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings such that we have only LF line endings in the repository. But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the conversion can corrupt data. If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right after committing you still have the original file in your work tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell git that this file is binary and git will handle the file appropriately. Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files converting CRLFs corrupts data. This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert. The mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the following values: - false: disable safecrlf mechanism - warn: warn about irreversible conversions - true: refuse irreversible conversions The default is to warn. Users are only affected by this default if core.autocrlf is set. But the current default of git is to leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism. The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command. The general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are: - we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the original file. - for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree we do not not print annoying warnings. There are exceptions. Even though... - "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the next checkout would, so the safety triggers; - "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the safety does not trigger; - "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add". To catch potential problems early, safety triggers. The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar way by Linus Torvalds.

2008-01-16treat any file with NUL as binaryLibravatar Dmitry Potapov1-2/+7
There are two heuristics in Git to detect whether a file is binary or text. One in xdiff-interface.c (which is taken from GNU diff) relies on existence of the NUL byte at the beginning. However, convert.c used a different heuristic, which relied on the percent of non-printable symbols (less than 1% for text files). Due to differences in detection whether a file is binary or not, it was possible that a file that diff treats as binary could be treated as text by CRLF conversion. This is very confusing for a user who sees that 'git diff' shows the file as binary expects it to be added as binary. This patch makes is_binary to consider any file that contains at least one NUL character as binary, to ensure that the heuristics used for CRLF conversion is tighter than what is used by diff.
