Currently :path and ref:path can be used to refer to a specific object
in index or ref respectively. "path" component is absolute path. This
patch allows "path" to be written as "./path" or "../path", which is

13 years agoupdate-index: migrate to parse-options API

update-index: migrate to parse-options API

--refresh and --really-refresh accept flags (like -q) and modify
an error indicator.  It might make sense to make the error
indicator global, but just pass the flags and a pointer to the error
indicator in a struct instead.

--cacheinfo wants 3 arguments.  Use the OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK
extension to grab them and PARSE_OPT_NOARG to disallow the "sticked"
--cacheinfo=foo form.  (The resulting message

$ git update-index --cacheinfo=foo
error: option `cacheinfo' takes no value

is unfortunately incorrect.)

--assume-unchanged and --no-assume-unchanged probably should use the
OPT_UYN feature; but use a callback for now so the existing MARK_FLAG
and UNMARK_FLAG values can be used.

--stdin and --index-info are still constrained to be the last argument
(implemented using the OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK extension).

--unresolve and --again consume all arguments that come after them
(also using OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK).

The order of options matters.  Each path on the command line is
affected only by the options that come before it.  A custom
argument-parsing loop with parse_options_step() brings that about.

In exchange for all the fuss, we get the usual perks: support for
un-sticked options, better usage error messages, more useful -h
output, and argument parsing code that should be easier to tweak
in the future.

So now in your builtin command, instead of passing prefix around,
when you want to convert a user-supplied path to a cwd-relative
path, you can use startup_info->prefix directly.

Caveat: As with the return value from setup_git_directory_gently(),
startup_info->prefix would be NULL when the original cwd is not a
subdir of the toplevel.

parse-options: allow git commands to invent new option types

parse-options provides a variety of option behaviors, including
OPTION_CALLBACK, which should take care of just about any sane
behavior.  All supported behaviors obey the following constraint:

 A --foo option can only accept (and base its behavior on)
 one argument, which would be the following command-line
 argument in the "unsticked" form.

Alas, some existing git commands have options that do not obey that
constraint.  For example, update-index --cacheinfo takes three
arguments, and update-index --resolve takes all later parameters as
arguments.

Introduces an OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK backdoor to parse-options so
such option types can be supported without tempting inventors of other
commands through mention in the public API.  Commands can set the
callback field to a function accepting three arguments: the option
parsing context, the option itself, and a flag indicating whether the
the option was negated.  When the option is encountered, that function
is called to take over from get_value().  The return value should be
zero for success, -1 for usage errors.

--binary, it will be rejected early, as we don't even have
the full sha1 of the pre- and post-images.

However, if the diff is generated with --full-index (but not
--binary), then we will actually try to apply it. If we have
the postimage blob, then we can take a shortcut and never
even look at the binary diff at all (e.g., this can happen
when rebasing changes within a repository).

If we don't have the postimage blob, though, we try to look
at the actual fragments, of which there are none, and get a
segfault. This patch checks explicitly for that case and
complains to the user instead of segfaulting. We need to

Then, when add_mapping is processing the latter line, new_email is NULL

Thus, when later we attempt to use the buffer behind that ->email pointer,

Maybe they do this because they read it in the Git user-manual.
