2013-04-29t0008: use named pipe (FIFO) to test check-ignore streamingLibravatar Adam Spiers1-21/+17
sleeps in the check-ignore test suite are not ideal since they can fail when the system is under load, or when a tool like valgrind is used which drastically alters the timing. Therefore we replace them with a more robust solution using a named pipe (FIFO). Thanks to Jeff King for coming up with the redirection wizardry required to make this work. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/220916 Signed-off-by: Adam Spiers <git@adamspiers.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-04-11check-ignore: allow incremental streaming of queries via --stdinLibravatar Adam Spiers1-5/+23
Some callers, such as the git-annex web assistant, find it useful to invoke git check-ignore as a persistent background process, which can then have queries fed to its STDIN at any point, and the corresponding response consumed from its STDOUT. For this we need to invoke check_ignore() once per line of standard input, and flush standard output after each result. The above use case suggests that empty STDIN is actually a reasonable scenario (e.g. when the caller doesn't know in advance whether any queries need to be fed to the background process until after it's already started), so we make the minor behavioural change that "no pathspec given." is no longer emitted in when STDIN is empty. Even though check_ignore() could now be changed to operate on a single pathspec, we keep it operating on an array of pathspecs since that is a more convenient way of consuming the existing pathspec API.

2013-04-11check-ignore: add -n / --non-matching optionLibravatar Adam Spiers1-32/+90
If `-n` or `--non-matching` are specified, non-matching pathnames will also be output, in which case all fields in each output record except for <pathname> will be empty. This can be useful when running check-ignore as a background process, so that files can be incrementally streamed to STDIN, and for each of these files, STDOUT will indicate whether that file matched a pattern or not. (Without this option, it would be impossible to tell whether the absence of output for a given file meant that it didn't match any pattern, or that the result simply hadn't been flushed to STDOUT yet.)

2013-04-11t0008: remove duplicated test fixture dataLibravatar Adam Spiers1-15/+1
The expected contents of STDOUT for the final --stdin tests can be derived from the expected contents of STDOUT for the same tests when --verbose is given, in the same way that test_expect_success_multi derives this for earlier tests.

2013-02-19name-hash: allow hashing an empty stringLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
Usually we do not pass an empty string to the function hash_name() because we almost always ask for hash values for a path that is a candidate to be added to the index. However, check-ignore (and most likely check-attr, but I didn't check) apparently has a callchain to ask the hash value for an empty path when it was given a "." from the top-level directory to ask "Is the path . excluded by default?" Make sure that hash_name() does not overrun the end of the given pathname even when it is empty. Remove a sweep-the-issue-under-the-rug conditional in check-ignore that avoided to pass an empty string to the callchain while at it. It is a valid question to ask for check-ignore if the top-level is set to be ignored by default, even though the answer is most likely no, if only because there is currently no way to specify such an entry in the .gitignore file. But it is an unusual thing to ask and it is not worth optimizing for it by special casing at the top level of the call chain.

2013-02-19t0008: document test_expect_success_multiLibravatar Adam Spiers1-0/+10
test_expect_success_multi() helper function warrants some explanation, since at first sight it may seem like generic test framework plumbing, but is in fact specific to testing check-ignore, and allows more thorough testing of the various output formats without significantly increase the size of t0008.

2013-01-10t0008: avoid brace expansionLibravatar René Scharfe1-2/+7
Brace expansion is a shell feature that's not required by POSIX and not supported by dash nor NetBSD's sh. Explicitly list all combinations instead. Also avoid calling touch by creating the test files with a redirection instead, as suggested by Junio.

This works in a similar manner to git-check-attr. Thanks to Jeff King and Junio C Hamano for the idea: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/108671/focus=108815 Signed-off-by: Adam Spiers <git@adamspiers.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
