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 Duy1-0/+63
:(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.

2013-07-15pathspec: make --literal-pathspecs disable pathspec magicLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+6
--literal-pathspecs and its equivalent environment variable are probably used for scripting. In that setting, pathspec magic may be unwanted. Disabling globbing in individual pathspec can be done via :(literal) magic. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-01-06t6130-pathspec-noglob: Windows does not allow a file named "f*"Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-1/+7
Windows disallows file names that contain a star. Arrange the test setup to insert the file name "f*" in the repository without the corresponding file in the worktree. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Acked-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-12-19add global --literal-pathspecs optionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+62
Git takes pathspec arguments in many places to limit the scope of an operation. These pathspecs are treated not as literal paths, but as glob patterns that can be fed to fnmatch. When a user is giving a specific pattern, this is a nice feature. However, when programatically providing pathspecs, it can be a nuisance. For example, to find the latest revision which modified "$foo", one can use "git rev-list -- $foo". But if "$foo" contains glob characters (e.g., "f*"), it will erroneously match more entries than desired. The caller needs to quote the characters in $foo, and even then, the results may not be exactly the same as with a literal pathspec. For instance, the depth checks in match_pathspec_depth do not kick in if we match via fnmatch. This patch introduces a global command-line option (i.e., one for "git" itself, not for specific commands) to turn this behavior off. It also has a matching environment variable, which can make it easier if you are a script or porcelain interface that is going to issue many such commands. This option cannot turn off globbing for particular pathspecs. That could eventually be done with a ":(noglob)" magic pathspec prefix. However, that level of granularity is more cumbersome to use for many cases, and doing ":(noglob)" right would mean converting the whole codebase to use "struct pathspec", as the usual "const char **pathspec" cannot represent extra per-item flags.
