2021-06-16comments: avoid using the gender of our usersLibravatar Felipe Contreras1-1/+1
We generally avoid specifying the gender of our users in order to be more inclusive, but sometimes a few slip by due to habit. Since by doing a little bit of rewording we can avoid this irrelevant detail, let's do so.

2021-04-14*: remove 'const' qualifier for struct index_stateLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-3/+3
Several methods specify that they take a 'struct index_state' pointer with the 'const' qualifier because they intend to only query the data, not change it. However, we will be introducing a step very low in the method stack that might modify a sparse-index to become a full index in the case that our queries venture inside a sparse-directory entry. This change only removes the 'const' qualifiers that are necessary for the following change which will actually modify the implementation of index_name_stage_pos().

2021-04-08add: warn when asked to update SKIP_WORKTREE entriesLibravatar Matheus Tavares1-0/+8
`git add` already refrains from updating SKIP_WORKTREE entries, but it silently exits with zero code when it is asked to do so. Instead, let's warn the user and display a hint on how to update these entries. Note that we only warn the user whey they give a pathspec item that matches no eligible path for updating, but it does match one or more SKIP_WORKTREE entries. A warning was chosen over erroring out right away to reproduce the same behavior `add` already exhibits with ignored files. This also allow users to continue their workflow without having to invoke `add` again with only the eligible paths (as those will have already been added).

2019-11-20pathspec: add new function to parse fileLibravatar Alexandr Miloslavskiy1-0/+10
This will be used to support the new option '--pathspec-from-file' in `git add`, `git-commit`, `git reset` etc. Note also that we specifically handle CR/LF line endings to support Windows better. To simplify code, file is first parsed into `argv_array`. This allows to avoid refactoring `parse_pathspec()`. I considered adding `nul_term_line` to `flags` instead, but decided that it doesn't fit there. The new code is mostly taken from `cmd_update_index()` and `split_mail_conv()`.

2017-12-19Merge branch 'bw/pathspec-match-submodule-boundary'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
An v2.12-era regression in pathspec match logic, which made it look into submodule tree even when it is not desired, has been fixed. * bw/pathspec-match-submodule-boundary: pathspec: only match across submodule boundaries when requested
2017-12-05pathspec: only match across submodule boundaries when requestedLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+1
Commit 74ed43711fd (grep: enable recurse-submodules to work on <tree> objects, 2016-12-16) taught 'tree_entry_interesting()' to be able to match across submodule boundaries in the presence of wildcards. This is done by performing literal matching up to the first wildcard and then punting to the submodule itself to perform more accurate pattern matching. Instead of introducing a new flag to request this behavior, commit 74ed43711fd overloaded the already existing 'recursive' flag in 'struct pathspec' to request this behavior. This leads to a bug where whenever any other caller has the 'recursive' flag set as well as a pathspec with wildcards that all submodules will be indicated as matches. One simple example of this is: git init repo cd repo git init submodule git -C submodule commit -m initial --allow-empty touch "[bracket]" git add "[bracket]" git commit -m bracket git add submodule git commit -m submodule git rev-list HEAD -- "[bracket]" Fix this by introducing the new flag 'recurse_submodules' in 'struct pathspec' and using this flag to determine if matches should be allowed to cross submodule boundaries.

The command line arguments passed to main() are valid for the life of a program, but the same is not true for all other argv-style arrays (e.g. when a caller creates an argv_array). Clarify that parse_pathspec does not rely on the argv passed to it to remain valid. This makes it easier to tell that callers like "git rev-list --stdin" are safe and ensures that that is more likely to remain true as the implementation of parse_pathspec evolves.

Since both 'match' and 'original' string entries in a pathspec_item are owned by the pathspec struct, they need to be freed when clearing the pathspec struct (in 'clear_pathspec()') and duplicated when copying the pathspec struct (in 'copy_pathspec()'). Also change the type of 'match' and 'original' to 'char *' in order to more explicitly show the ownership of the memory.

2013-10-28pathspec: stop --*-pathspecs impact on internal parse_pathspec() usesLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+7
Normally parse_pathspec() is used on command line arguments where it can do fancy thing like parsing magic on each argument or adding magic for all pathspecs based on --*-pathspecs options. There's another use of parse_pathspec(), where pathspec is needed, but the input is known to be pure paths. In this case we usually don't want --*-pathspecs to interfere. And we definitely do not want to parse magic in these paths, regardless of --literal-pathspecs. Add new flag PATHSPEC_LITERAL_PATH for this purpose. When it's set, --*-pathspecs are ignored, no magic is parsed. And if the caller allows PATHSPEC_LITERAL (i.e. the next calls can take literal magic), then PATHSPEC_LITERAL will be set. This fixes cases where git chokes when GIT_*_PATHSPECS are set because parse_pathspec() indicates it won't take any magic. But GIT_*_PATHSPECS add them anyway. These are export GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS=1 git blame -- something git log --follow something git log --merge "git ls-files --with-tree=path" (aka parse_pathspec() in overlay_tree_on_cache()) is safe because the input is empty, and producing one pathspec due to PATHSPEC_PREFER_CWD does not take any magic into account.

2013-07-15pathspec: support :(glob) syntaxLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+3
:(glob)path differs from plain pathspec that it uses wildmatch with WM_PATHNAME while the other uses fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME. The difference lies in how '*' (and '**') is processed. With the introduction of :(glob) and :(literal) and their global options --[no]glob-pathspecs, the user can: - make everything literal by default via --noglob-pathspecs --literal-pathspecs cannot be used for this purpose as it disables _all_ pathspec magic. - individually turn on globbing with :(glob) - make everything globbing by default via --glob-pathspecs - individually turn off globbing with :(literal) The implication behind this is, there is no way to gain the default matching behavior (i.e. fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME). You either get new globbing or literal. The old fnmatch behavior is considered deprecated and discouraged to use.

This makes 'original' suitable for passing to an external command because all pathspec magic is left in place, provided that the external command understands pathspec. The prefixing is needed because we usually launch a subcommand at worktree's top directory and the subcommand can no longer calculate the prefix itself. This slightly affects the original purpose of 'original' (i.e. reporting). We should report without prefixing.

2013-07-15parse_pathspec: add special flag for max_depth featureLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+5
match_pathspec_depth() and tree_entry_interesting() check max_depth field in order to support "git grep --max-depth". The feature activation is tied to "recursive" field, which led to some unwanted activation, e.g. 5c8eeb8 (diff-index: enable recursive pathspec matching in unpack_trees - 2012-01-15). This patch decouples the activation from "recursive" field, puts it in "magic" field instead. This makes sure that only "git grep" can activate this feature. And because parse_pathspec knows when the feature is not used, it does not need to sort pathspec (required for max_depth to work correctly). A small win for non-grep cases. Even though a new magic flag is introduced, no magic syntax is. The magic can be only enabled by parse_pathspec() caller. We might someday want to support ":(maxdepth:10)src." It all depends on actual use cases. max_depth feature cannot be enabled via init_pathspec() anymore. But that's ok because init_pathspec() is on its way to /dev/null.

2013-07-15add parse_pathspec() that converts cmdline args to struct pathspecLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+11
Currently to fill a struct pathspec, we do: const char **paths; paths = get_pathspec(prefix, argv); ... init_pathspec(&pathspec, paths); "paths" can only carry bare strings, which loses information from command line arguments such as pathspec magic or the prefix part's length for each argument. parse_pathspec() is introduced to combine the two calls into one. The plan is gradually replace all get_pathspec() and init_pathspec() with parse_pathspec(). get_pathspec() now becomes a thin wrapper of parse_pathspec(). parse_pathspec() allows the caller to reject the pathspec magics that it does not support. When a new pathspec magic is introduced, we can enable it per command after making sure that all underlying code has no problem with the new magic. "flags" parameter is currently unused. But it would allow callers to pass certain instructions to parse_pathspec, for example forcing literal pathspec when no magic is used. With the introduction of parse_pathspec, there are now two functions that can initialize struct pathspec: init_pathspec and parse_pathspec. Any semantic changes in struct pathspec must be reflected in both functions. init_pathspec() will be phased out in favor of parse_pathspec().
