* Fix a typo in crlf conversion codeAlex Riesen2007-04-221-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | Also, noticed by valgrind: the code caused a read out-of-bounds. Some comments updated as well (they still reflected old calling conventions). Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen <raa.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* convert.c: restructure the attribute checking part.Junio C Hamano2007-04-211-20/+28
| | | | | | | | | | This separates the checkattr() call and interpretation of the returned value specific to the 'crlf' attribute into separate routines, so that we can run a single call to checkattr() to check for more than one attributes, and then interprete what the returned settings mean separately.

* Update 'crlf' attribute semantics.Junio C Hamano2007-04-191-49/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This updates the semantics of 'crlf' so that .gitattributes file can say "this is text, even though it may look funny". Setting the `crlf` attribute on a path is meant to mark the path as a "text" file. 'core.autocrlf' conversion takes place without guessing the content type by inspection. Unsetting the `crlf` attribute on a path is meant to mark the path as a "binary" file. The path never goes through line endings conversion upon checkin/checkout. Unspecified `crlf` attribute tells git to apply the `core.autocrlf` conversion when the file content looks like text. Setting the `crlf` attribut to string value "input" is similar to setting the attribute to `true`, but also forces git to act as if `core.autocrlf` is set to `input` for the path.

* Fix funny types used in attribute value representationJunio C Hamano2007-04-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was bothering me a lot that I abused small integer values casted to (void *) to represent non string values in gitattributes. This corrects it by making the type of attribute values (const char *), and using the address of a few statically allocated character buffer to denote true/false. Unset attributes are represented as having NULLs as their values. Added in-header documentation to explain how git_checkattr() routine should be called. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Allow more than true/false to attributes.Junio C Hamano2007-04-171-3/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows you to define three values (and possibly more) to each attribute: true, false, and unset. Typically the handlers that notice and act on attribute values treat "unset" attribute to mean "do your default thing" (e.g. crlf that is unset would trigger "guess from contents"), so being able to override a setting to an unset state is actually useful. - If you want to set the attribute value to true, have an entry in .gitattributes file that mentions the attribute name; e.g. *.o binary - If you want to set the attribute value explicitly to false, use '-'; e.g. *.a -diff - If you want to make the attribute value _unset_, perhaps to override an earlier entry, use '!'; e.g. *.a -diff c.i.a !diff This also allows string values to attributes, with the natural syntax: attrname=attrvalue but you cannot use it, as nobody takes notice and acts on it yet.

* Fix 'crlf' attribute semantics.Junio C Hamano2007-04-151-44/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Earlier we said 'crlf lets the path go through core.autocrlf process while !crlf disables it altogether'. This fixes the semantics to: - Lack of 'crlf' attribute makes core.autocrlf to apply (i.e. we guess based on the contents and if platform expresses its desire to have CRLF line endings via core.autocrlf, we do so). - Setting 'crlf' attribute to true forces CRLF line endings in working tree files, even if blob does not look like text (e.g. contains NUL or other bytes we consider binary). - Setting 'crlf' attribute to false disables conversion.

* Define 'crlf' attribute.Junio C Hamano2007-04-141-7/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This defines the semantics of 'crlf' attribute as an example. When a path has this attribute unset (i.e. '!crlf'), autocrlf line-end conversion is not applied. Eventually we would want to let users to build a pipeline of processing to munge blob data to filesystem format (and in the other direction) based on combination of attributes, and at that point the mechanism in convert_to_{git,working_tree}() that looks at 'crlf' attribute needs to be enhanced. Perhaps the existing 'crlf' would become the first step in the input chain, and the last step in the output chain. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Make AutoCRLF ternary variable.Linus Torvalds2007-02-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows you to do: [core] AutoCRLF = input and it should do only the CRLF->LF translation (ie it simplifies CRLF only when reading working tree files, but when checking out files, it leaves the LF alone, and doesn't turn it into a CRLF).

* Lazy man's auto-CRLFLinus Torvalds2007-02-141-0/+186
It currently does NOT know about file attributes, so it does its conversion purely based on content. Maybe that is more in the "git philosophy" anyway, since content is king, but I think we should try to do the file attributes to turn it off on demand. Anyway, BY DEFAULT it is off regardless, because it requires a [core] AutoCRLF = true in your config file to be enabled. We could make that the default for Windows, of course, the same way we do some other things (filemode etc). But you can actually enable it on UNIX, and it will cause: - "git update-index" will write blobs without CRLF - "git diff" will diff working tree files without CRLF - "git checkout" will write files to the working tree _with_ CRLF and things work fine. Funnily, it actually shows an odd file in git itself: git clone -n git test-crlf cd test-crlf git config core.autocrlf true git checkout git diff shows a diff for "Documentation/docbook-xsl.css". Why? Because we have actually checked in that file *with* CRLF! So when "core.autocrlf" is true, we'll always generate a *different* hash for it in the index, because the index hash will be for the content _without_ CRLF. Is this complete? I dunno. It seems to work for me. It doesn't use the filename at all right now, and that's probably a deficiency (we could certainly make the "is_binary()" heuristics also take standard filename heuristics into account). I don't pass in the filename at all for the "index_fd()" case (git-update-index), so that would need to be passed around, but this actually works fine. NOTE NOTE NOTE! The "is_binary()" heuristics are totally made-up by yours truly. I will not guarantee that they work at all reasonable. Caveat emptor. But it _is_ simple, and it _is_ safe, since it's all off by default. The patch is pretty simple - the biggest part is the new "convert.c" file, but even that is really just basic stuff that anybody can write in "Teaching C 101" as a final project for their first class in programming. Not to say that it's bug-free, of course - but at least we're not talking about rocket surgery here.
