2012-12-19t4014: fix arguments to grepLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+3
These "expect-failure" tests were not looking for the right string in the patch file. For example: grep "^ *"S. E. Cipient" <scipient@example.com>\$" patch5 was looking for "^ *S." in these three files: "E." "Cipient <scipient@example.com>$" "patch5" With some implementations of grep, the lack of file "E." was reported as an error, leading to the failure of the test. With other implementations of grep, the pattern "^ *S." matched what was in patch5, without diagnosing the missing files as an error, and made these tests unexpectedly pass.

2012-10-18format-patch tests: check quoting/encoding in To: and Cc: headersLibravatar Jan H. Schönherr1-32/+66
git-format-patch does currently not parse user supplied extra header values (e. g., --cc, --add-header) and just replays them. That forces users to add them RFC 2822/2047 conform in encoded form, e.g. --cc '=?UTF-8?q?Jan=20H=2E=20Sch=C3=B6nherr?= <...>' which is inconvenient. We would want to update git-format-patch to accept human-readable input --cc 'Jan H. Schönherr <...>' and handle the encoding, wrapping and quoting internally in the future, similar to what is already done in git-send-email. The necessary code should mostly exist in the code paths that handle the From: and Subject: headers. Whether we want to do this only for the git-format-patch options --to and --cc (and the corresponding config options) or also for user supplied headers via --add-header, is open for discussion. For now, add test_expect_failure tests for To: and Cc: headers as a reminder and fix tests that would otherwise fail should this get implemented. Signed-off-by: Jan H.

2012-10-18format-patch: fix rfc2047 address encoding with respect to rfc822 specialsLibravatar Jan H. Schönherr1-1/+1
According to RFC 2047 and RFC 822, rfc2047 encoded words and and rfc822 quoted strings do not mix. Since add_rfc2047() no longer leaves RFC 822 specials behind, the quoting is also no longer necessary to create a standard-conforming mail. Remove the quoting, when RFC 2047 encoding takes place. This actually requires to refactor add_rfc2047() a bit, so that the different cases can be distinguished. With this patch, my own name gets correctly decoded as Jan H. Schönherr (without quotes) and not as "Jan H. Schönherr" (with quotes). Signed-off-by: Jan H. Schönherr <schnhrr@cs.tu-berlin.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-10-18format-patch: make rfc2047 encoding more strictLibravatar Jan H. Schönherr1-4/+11
RFC 2047 requires more characters to be encoded than it is currently done. Especially, RFC 2047 distinguishes between allowed remaining characters in encoded words in addresses (From, To, etc.) and other headers, such as Subject. Make add_rfc2047() and is_rfc2047_special() location dependent and include all non-allowed characters to hopefully be RFC 2047 conformant. This especially fixes a problem, where RFC 822 specials (e. g. ".") were left unencoded in addresses, which was solved with a non-standard-conforming workaround in the past (which is going to be removed in a follow-up patch). Signed-off-by: Jan H.

2012-06-12t: Replace 'perl' by $PERL_PATHLibravatar Vincent van Ravesteijn1-1/+1
GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS defines PERL_PATH to be used in the test suite. Only a few tests already actually use this variable when perl is needed. The other test just call 'perl' and it might happen that the wrong perl interpreter is used. This becomes problematic on Windows, when the perl interpreter that is compiled and installed on the Windows system is used, because this perl interpreter might introduce some unexpected LF->CRLF conversions.

2011-09-19t4014: clean up format.thread config after each testLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+4
The threading tests turn on format.thread, but never clean up after themselves, meaning that later tests will also have format.thread set. This is more annoying than most leftover config, too, because not only does it impact the results of other tests, but it does so non-deterministically. Threading requires the generation of message-ids, which incorporate the current time, meaning a slow-running test script may generate different results from run to run.

2011-08-29t4014: "no-add-headers" is actually called "no-add-header"Libravatar Thomas Rast1-2/+2
Since c426003 (format-patch: add --no-cc, --no-to, and --no-add-headers, 2010-03-07) the tests have checked for an option called --no-add-headers introduced by letting the user negate --add-header. However, the parseopt machinery does not automatically pluralize anything, so it is in fact called --no-add-header. Since the option never worked, is not documented anywhere, and implementing an actual --no-add-headers would lead to silly code complications, we just adapt the test to the code.

Most kinds of failure in 'git format-patch --stdout >output' will result in an empty 'output'. This slips past checks that only verify absence of output, such as the '! grep ...' that are quite prevalent in t4014. Introduce a helper check_patch() that checks that at least From, Date and Subject are present, thus making sure it looks vaguely like a patch (or cover letter) email. Then insert calls to it in all tests that do have positive checks for content. This makes two of the tests fail. Mark them as such; they'll be fixed in a moment.

2011-05-30format-patch: make zero-length subject prefixes prettierLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+18
If you give a zero-length subject prefix to format-patch (e.g., "format-patch --subject-prefix="), we will print the ugly: Subject: [ 1/2] your subject here because we always insert a space between the prefix and numbering. Requiring the user to provide the space in their prefix would be more flexible, but would break existing usage. This patch provides a DWIM and suppresses the space for zero-length prefixes, under the assumption that nobody actually wants "[ 1/2]".

2011-04-26pretty: quote rfc822 specials in email addressesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+42
If somebody has a name that includes an rfc822 special, we will output it literally in the "From:" header. This is usually OK, but certain characters (like ".") are supposed to be enclosed in double-quotes in a mail header. In practice, whether this matters may depend on your MUA. Some MUAs will happily take in: From: Foo B. Bar <author@example.com> without quotes, and properly quote the "." when they send the actual mail. Others may not, or may screw up harder things like: From: Foo "The Baz" Bar <author@example.com> For example, mutt will strip the quotes, thinking they are actual syntactic rfc822 quotes. So let's quote properly, and then (if necessary) we still apply rfc2047 encoding on top of that, which should make all MUAs happy.

2011-04-14format-patch: wrap email addresses after long namesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+15
We already wrap names in "from" headers, which tend to be the long part of an address. But it's also possible for a long name to not be wrapped, but to make us want to wrap the email address. For example (imagine for the sake of readability we want to wrap at 50 characters instead of 78): From: this is my really long git name <foo@example.com> The name does not overflow the line, but the name and email together do. So we would rather see: From: this is my really long git name <git@example.com> Because we wrap the name separately during add_rfc2047, we neglected this case. Instead, we should see how long the final line of the wrapped name ended up, and decide whether or not to wrap based on that. We can't break the address into multiple parts, so we either leave it with the name, or put it by itself on a line. Test by Erik Faye-Lund.

2011-02-23format-patch: wrap long header linesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+84
Subject and identity headers may be arbitrarily long. In the past, we just assumed that single-line headers would be reasonably short. For multi-line subjects that we squish into a single line, we just "pre-folded" the data in pp_title_line by adding a newline and indentation. There were two problems. One is that, although rare, single-line messages can actually be longer than the recommended line-length limits. The second is that the pre-folding interacted badly with rfc2047 encoding, leading to malformed headers. Instead, let's stop pre-folding the subject lines, and just fold everything based on length in add_rfc2047, whether it is encoded or not.

2010-06-16format-patch: Add a signature option (--signature)Libravatar Stephen Boyd1-0/+52
By default, git uses the version string as the signature for all patches output by format-patch. Many employers (mine included) require the use of a signature on all outgoing mails. In a format-patch | send-email workflow there isn't an easy way to modify the signature without breaking the pipe and manually replacing the version string with the signature required. Instead of doing all that work, add an option (--signature) and a config variable (format.signature) to replace the default git version signature when formatting patches. This does modify the original behavior of format-patch a bit. First off the version string is now placed in the cover letter by default. Secondly, once the configuration variable format.signature is added to the .config file there is no way to revert back to the default git version signature. Instead, specifying the --no-signature option will remove the signature from the patches entirely. Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <bebarino@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-11-10format-patch: Always generate a patchLibravatar Björn Gustavsson1-0/+18
Jeff King recently reinstated -p to suppress the default diffstat (as -p used to work before 68daa64, about 14 months ago). However, -p is also needed in combination with certain options (e.g. --stat or --numstat) in order to produce any patch at all. The documentation does not mention this. Since the purpose of format-patch is to produce a patch that can be emailed, it does not make sense that certain combination of options will suppress the generation of the patch itself. Therefore: * Update 'git format-patch' to always generate a patch. * Since the --name-only, --name-status, and --check suppresses the generation of the patch, disallow those options, and remove the description of them in the documentation. * Remove the reference to -p in the description of -U. * Remove the descriptions of the options that are synonyms for -p plus another option (--patch-with-raw and --patch-with-stat). * While at it, slightly tweak the description of -p itself to say that it generates "plain patches", so that you can think of -p as "plain patch" as an mnemonic aid.

2009-11-08format-patch: make "-p" suppress diffstatLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+21
Once upon a time, format-patch would use its default stat plus patch format only when no diff format was given on the command line. This meant that "format-patch -p" would suppress the stat and show just the patch. Commit 68daa64 changed this to keep the stat format when we had an "implicit" patch format, like "-U5". As a side effect, this meant that an explicit patch format was now ignored (because cmd_format_patch didn't know the reason that the format was set way down in diff_opt_parse). This patch unbreaks what 68daa64 did (while still preserving what 68daa64 was trying to do), reinstating "-p" to suppress the default behavior. We do this by parsing "-p" ourselves in format-patch, and noting whether it was used explicitly. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This function replaces sequences of 'chmod +x' and 'git update-index --chmod=+x' in the test suite, whose purpose is to help filesystems that need core.filemode=false.

We do this because the call sites *expect* that the executable bit ends up in the index (ie. it is not the purpose of the call sites to *test* whether git treats 'chmod +x' and 'update-index --chmod=+x' correctly). Therefore, on filesystems with core.filemode=true the 'git update-index --chmod' is a no-op. The function uses --add with update-index to help one call site in t6031-merge-recursive. It makes no difference for the other callers. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>
2009-02-21format-patch: support deep threadingLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+120
For deep threading mode, i.e., the mode that gives a thread structured like + [PATCH 0/n] Cover letter `-+ [PATCH 1/n] First patch `-+ [PATCH 2/n] Second patch `-+ ... we currently have to use 'git send-email --thread' (the default). On the other hand, format-patch also has a --thread option which gives shallow mode, i.e., + [PATCH 0/n] Cover letter |-+ [PATCH 1/n] First patch |-+ [PATCH 2/n] Second patch ... To reduce the confusion resulting from having two indentically named features in different tools giving different results, let format-patch take an optional argument '--thread=deep' that gives the same output as 'send-mail --thread'. With no argument, or 'shallow', behave as before. Also add a configuration variable format.thread with the same semantics.
