2016-11-02t0021: fix filehandle usage on older perlLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
The rot13-filter.pl script calls methods on implicitly defined filehandles (STDOUT, and the result of an open() call). Prior to perl 5.13, these methods are not automatically loaded, and perl will complain with: Can't locate object method "flush" via package "IO::Handle" Let's explicitly load IO::File (which inherits from IO::Handle). That's more than we need for just "flush", but matches what perl has done since: http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/15e6cdd91beb4cefae4b65e855d68cf64766965d Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-11-02t0021: use $PERL_PATH for rot13-filter.plLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+0
The rot13-filter.pl script hardcodes "#!/usr/bin/perl", and does not respect $PERL_PATH at all. That is a problem if the system does not have perl at that path, or if it has a perl that is too old to run a complicated script like the rot13-filter (but PERL_PATH points to a more modern one). We can fix this by using write_script() to create a new copy of the script with the correct #!-line. In theory we could move the whole script inside t0021-conversion.sh rather than having it as an auxiliary file, but it's long enough that it just makes things harder to read. As a bonus, we can stop using the full path to the script in the filter-process config we add (because the trash directory is in our PATH). Not only is this shorter, but it sidesteps any shell-quoting issues. The original was broken when $TEST_DIRECTORY contained a space, because it was interpolated in the outer script.

2016-10-17convert: add filter.<driver>.process optionLibravatar Lars Schneider1-0/+192
Git's clean/smudge mechanism invokes an external filter process for every single blob that is affected by a filter. If Git filters a lot of blobs then the startup time of the external filter processes can become a significant part of the overall Git execution time. In a preliminary performance test this developer used a clean/smudge filter written in golang to filter 12,000 files. This process took 364s with the existing filter mechanism and 5s with the new mechanism. See details here: https://github.com/github/git-lfs/pull/1382 This patch adds the `filter.<driver>.process` string option which, if used, keeps the external filter process running and processes all blobs with the packet format (pkt-line) based protocol over standard input and standard output. The full protocol is explained in detail in `Documentation/gitattributes.txt`. A few key decisions: * The long running filter process is referred to as filter protocol version 2 because the existing single shot filter invocation is considered version 1. * Git sends a welcome message and expects a response right after the external filter process has started. This ensures that Git will not hang if a version 1 filter is incorrectly used with the filter.<driver>.process option for version 2 filters. In addition, Git can detect this kind of error and warn the user. * The status of a filter operation (e.g. "success" or "error) is set before the actual response and (if necessary!) re-set after the response. The advantage of this two step status response is that if the filter detects an error early, then the filter can communicate this and Git does not even need to create structures to read the response. * All status responses are pkt-line lists terminated with a flush packet. This allows us to send other status fields with the same protocol in the future.
