2017-05-17config: match both symlink & realpath versions in IncludeIf.gitdir:*Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+23
Change the conditional inclusion mechanism to support e.g. gitdir:~/git_tree/repo where ~/git_tree is a symlink to /mnt/stuff/repo. This worked in the initial version of this facility[1], but regressed later in the series while solving a related bug[2]. Now gitdir: will match against the symlinked path (e.g. gitdir:~/git_tree/repo) in addition to the current /mnt/stuff/repo path. Since this is already in a release version note in the documentation that this behavior changed, so users who expect their configuration to work on both v2.13.0 and some future version of git with this fix aren't utterly confused. 1. commit 3efd0bedc6 ("config: add conditional include", 2017-03-01) 2. commit 86f9515708 ("config: resolve symlinks in conditional include's patterns", 2017-04-05) Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The recently introduced conditional inclusion of configuration did not work well when early-config mechanism was involved. * nd/conditional-config-in-early-config: config: correct file reading order in read_early_config() config: handle conditional include when $GIT_DIR is not set up config: prepare to pass more info in git_config_with_options()
2017-04-17config: handle conditional include when $GIT_DIR is not set upLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+11
If setup_git_directory() and friends have not been called, get_git_dir() (because of includeIf.gitdir:XXX) would lead to die("BUG: setup_git_env called without repository"); There are two cases when a config file could be read before $GIT_DIR is located. The first one is check_repository_format(), where we read just the one file $GIT_DIR/config to check if we could understand this repository. This case should be safe. We do not parse include directives, which can only be triggered from git_config_with_options, but setup code uses a lower-level function. The concerned variables should never be hidden away behind includes anyway. The second one is triggered in check_pager_config() when we're about to run an external git command. We might be able to find $GIT_DIR in this case, which is exactly what read_early_config() does (and also is what check_pager_config() uses). Conditional includes and get_git_dir() could be triggered by the first git_config_with_options() call there, before discover_git_directory() is used as a fallback $GIT_DIR detection. Detect this special "early reading" case, pass down the $GIT_DIR, either from previous setup or detected by discover_git_directory(), and make conditional include use it.

2017-04-14config: resolve symlinks in conditional include's patternsLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+54
$GIT_DIR returned by get_git_dir() is normalized, with all symlinks resolved (see setup_work_tree function). In order to match paths (or patterns) against $GIT_DIR char-by-char, they have to be normalized too. There is a note in config.txt about this, that the user need to resolve symlinks by themselves if needed. The problem is, we allow certain path expansion, '~/' and './', for convenience and can't ask the user to resolve symlinks in these expansions. Make sure the expanded paths have all symlinks resolved. PS. The strbuf_realpath(&text, get_git_dir(), 1) is still needed because get_git_dir() may return relative path.

2017-03-11config: add conditional includeLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+57
Sometimes a set of repositories want to share configuration settings among themselves that are distinct from other such sets of repositories. A user may work on two projects, each of which have multiple repositories, and use one user.email for one project while using another for the other. Setting $GIT_DIR/.config works, but if the penalty of forgetting to update $GIT_DIR/.config is high (especially when you end up cloning often), it may not be the best way to go. Having the settings in ~/.gitconfig, which would work for just one set of repositories, would not well in such a situation. Having separate ${HOME}s may add more problems than it solves. Extend the include.path mechanism that lets a config file include another config file, so that the inclusion can be done only when some conditions hold. Then ~/.gitconfig can say "include config-project-A only when working on project-A" for each project A the user works on. In this patch, the only supported grouping is based on $GIT_DIR (in absolute path), so you would need to group repositories by directory, or something like that to take advantage of it. We already have include.path for unconditional includes. This patch goes with includeIf.<condition>.path to make it clearer that a condition is required. The new config has the same backward compatibility approach as include.path: older git versions that don't understand includeIf will simply ignore them.

2014-02-18config: teach "git config --file -" to read from the standard inputLibravatar Kirill A. Shutemov1-1/+15
The patch extends git config --file interface to allow read config from stdin. Editing stdin or setting value in stdin is an error. Include by absolute path is allowed in stdin config, but not by relative path. Signed-off-by: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill@shutemov.name> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-02-18config: disallow relative include paths from blobsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+16
When we see a relative config include like: [include] path = foo we make it relative to the containing directory of the file that contains the snippet. This makes no sense for config read from a blob, as it is not on the filesystem. Something like "HEAD:some/path" could have a relative path within the tree, but: 1. It would not be part of include.path, which explicitly refers to the filesystem. 2. It would need different parsing rules anyway to determine that it is a tree path. The current code just uses the "name" field, which is wrong. Let's split that into "name" and "path" fields, use the latter for relative includes, and fill in only the former for blobs.

2012-04-29config: expand tildes in include.path variableLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+8
You can already use relative paths in include.path, which means that including "foo" from your global "~/.gitconfig" will look in your home directory. However, you might want to do something clever like putting "~/.gitconfig-foo" in a specific repository's config file.

2012-02-17config: add include directiveLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+134
It can be useful to split your ~/.gitconfig across multiple files. For example, you might have a "main" file which is used on many machines, but a small set of per-machine tweaks. Or you may want to make some of your config public (e.g., clever aliases) while keeping other data back (e.g., your name or other identifying information). Or you may want to include a number of config options in some subset of your repos without copying and pasting (e.g., you want to reference them from the .git/config of participating repos). This patch introduces an include directive for config files. It looks like: [include] path = /path/to/file This is syntactically backwards-compatible with existing git config parsers (i.e., they will see it as another config entry and ignore it unless you are looking up include.path). The implementation provides a "git_config_include" callback which wraps regular config callbacks. Callers can pass it to git_config_from_file, and it will transparently follow any include directives, passing all of the discovered options to the real callback. Include directives are turned on automatically for "regular" git config parsing. This includes calls to git_config, as well as calls to the "git config" program that do not specify a single file (e.g., using "-f", "--global", etc). They are not turned on in other cases, including: 1. Parsing of other config-like files, like .gitmodules. There isn't a real need, and I'd rather be conservative and avoid unnecessary incompatibility or confusion. 2. Reading single files via "git config". This is for two reasons: a. backwards compatibility with scripts looking at config-like files. b. inspection of a specific file probably means you care about just what's in that file, not a general lookup for "do we have this value anywhere at all". If that is not the case, the caller can always specify "--includes". 3. Writing files via "git config"; we want to treat include.* variables as literal items to be copied (or modified), and not expand them. So "git config --unset-all foo.bar" would operate _only_ on .git/config, not any of its included files (just as it also does not operate on ~/.gitconfig).
