path.c: and an option to call real_path() in expand_user_path()

2017-04-15T06:51:38+00:00

In the next patch we need the ability to expand '~' to
real_path($HOME). But we can't do that from outside because '~' is part
of a pattern, not a true path. Add an option to expand_user_path() to do
so.

add an extra level of indirection to main()

2016-07-01T22:09:10+00:00

There are certain startup tasks that we expect every git
process to do. In some cases this is just to improve the
quality of the program (e.g., setting up gettext()). In
others it is a requirement for using certain functions in
libgit.a (e.g., system_path() expects that you have called
git_extract_argv0_path()).

Most commands are builtins and are covered by the git.c
version of main(). However, there are still a few external
commands that use their own main(). Each of these has to
remember to include the correct startup sequence, and we are
not always consistent.

Rather than just fix the inconsistencies, let's make this
harder to get wrong by providing a common main() that can
run this standard startup.

We basically have two options to do this:

 - the compat/mingw.h file already does something like this by
   adding a #define that replaces the definition of main with a
   wrapper that calls mingw_startup().

   The upside is that the code in each program doesn't need
   to be changed at all; it's rewritten on the fly by the
   preprocessor.

   The downside is that it may make debugging of the startup
   sequence a bit more confusing, as the preprocessor is
   quietly inserting new code.

 - the builtin functions are all of the form cmd_foo(),
   and git.c's main() calls them.

   This is much more explicit, which may make things more
   obvious to somebody reading the code. It's also more
   flexible (because of course we have to figure out _which_
   cmd_foo() to call).

   The downside is that each of the builtins must define
   cmd_foo(), instead of just main().

This patch chooses the latter option, preferring the more
explicit approach, even though it is more invasive. We
introduce a new file common-main.c, with the "real" main. It
expects to call cmd_main() from whatever other objects it is
linked against.

We link common-main.o against anything that links against
libgit.a, since we know that such programs will need to do
this setup. Note that common-main.o can't actually go inside
libgit.a, as the linker would not pick up its main()
function automatically (it has no callers).

The rest of the patch is just adjusting all of the various
external programs (mostly in t/helper) to use cmd_main().
I've provided a global declaration for cmd_main(), which
means that all of the programs also need to match its
signature. In particular, many functions need to switch to
"const char **" instead of "char **" for argv. This effect
ripples out to a few other variables and functions, as well.

This makes the patch even more invasive, but the end result
is much better. We should be treating argv strings as const
anyway, and now all programs conform to the same signature
(which also matches the way builtins are defined).

strbuf: introduce strbuf_getline_{lf,nul}()

2016-01-15T18:12:51+00:00

The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as
the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these
codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL
and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long
time ago.  No useful caller that uses other value has emerged.

By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a
good reason.  Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read
either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and
then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter.

This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(),
namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and
mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of
them.  The changes contained in this patch are:

 * introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch]

 * mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with
   either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the
   respective thin wrapper.

After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would
become a lot smaller.  An interim goal of this series is to make
this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take
over the shorter name strbuf_getline().

Make error message after failing commit_lock_file() less confusing

2015-12-01T23:17:23+00:00

The error message after a failing commit_lock_file() call sometimes
looks like this, causing confusion:

  $ git remote add remote git@server.com/repo.git
  error: could not commit config file .git/config
  # Huh?!
  # I didn't want to commit anything, especially not my config file!

While in the narrow context of the lockfile module using the verb
'commit' in the error message makes perfect sense, in the broader
context of git the word 'commit' already has a very specific meaning,
hence the confusion.

Reword these error messages to say "could not write" instead of "could
not commit".

While at it, include strerror in the error messages after writing the
config file or the credential store fails to provide some information
about the cause of the failure, and update the style of the error
message after writing the reflog fails to match surrounding error
messages (i.e. no '' around the pathname and no () around the error
description).

2015-05-06T18:33:24+00:00

Since only the xdg credentials file path is required, and

simplify the code by replacing home_config_paths() with
xdg_config_home().

git-credential-store: support XDG_CONFIG_HOME

2015-03-24T15:08:02+00:00

Add $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials to the default credential search
path of git-credential-store. This allows git-credential-store to
support user-specific configuration files in accordance with the XDG
base directory specification[1].

[1] http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html

~/.git-credentials has a higher precedence than
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials when looking up credentials.  This
means that if any duplicate matching credentials are found in the xdg
file (due to ~/.git-credentials being updated by old versions of git or
outdated tools), they will not be used at all. This is to give the user
some leeway in switching to old versions of git while keeping the xdg
directory. This is consistent with the behavior of git-config.

However, the higher precedence of ~/.git-credentials means that as long
as ~/.git-credentials exist, all credentials will be written to the
~/.git-credentials file even if the user has an xdg file as having a
~/.git-credentials file indicates that the user wants to preserve
backwards-compatibility. This is also consistent with the behavior of
git-config.

To make this precedence explicit in docs/git-credential-store, add a new
section FILES that lists out the credential file paths in their order of
precedence, and explain how the ordering affects the lookup, storage and
erase operations.

Also, update the documentation for --file to briefly explain the
operations on multiple files if the --file option is not provided.

Since the xdg file will not be used unless it actually exists, to
prevent the situation where some credentials are present in the xdg file
while some are present in the home file, users are recommended to not
create the xdg file if they require compatibility with old versions of
git or outdated tools. Note, though, that "erase" can be used to
explicitly erase matching credentials from all files.
