Custom merge drivers need access to the names of the revisions they
are working on, so that the merge conflict markers they introduce
can refer to those revisions. The placeholders '%S', '%X' and '%Y'
are introduced to this end.

Gives all paths builtin objectmode values based on the paths' modes
(one of 100644, 100755, 120000, 040000, 160000). Users may use
this feature to filter by file types. For example a pathspec such as
':(attr:builtin_objectmode=160000)' could filter for submodules without
needing to have `builtin_objectmode=160000` to be set in .gitattributes
for every submodule path.
These values are also reflected in `git check-attr` results.
If the git_attr_direction is set to GIT_ATTR_INDEX or GIT_ATTR_CHECKIN
and a path is not found in the index, the value will be unspecified.
This patch also reserves the builtin_* attribute namespace for objectmode
and any future builtin attributes. Any user defined attributes using this
reserved namespace will result in a warning. This is a breaking change for
any existing builtin_* attributes.
Pathspecs with some builtin_* attribute name (excluding builtin_objectmode)
will behave like any attribute where there are no user specified values.

When an external merge driver dies with a signal, we should not
expect that the result left on the filesystem is in any useful
state. However, because the current code uses the return value from
run_command() and declares any positive value as a sign that the
driver successfully left conflicts in the result, and because the
return value from run_command() for a subprocess that died upon a
signal is positive, we end up treating whatever garbage left on the
filesystem as the result the merge driver wanted to leave us.
run_command() returns larger than 128 (WTERMSIG(status) + 128, to be
exact) when it notices that the subprocess died with a signal, so
detect such a case and return LL_MERGE_ERROR from ll_ext_merge().

These two sentences are confusing because the description of the text
attribute sounds exactly the same as the description of the text=auto
attribute:
"Setting the text attribute on a path enables end-of-line normalization"
"When text is set to "auto", the path is marked for automatic
end-of-line conversion"
Unless the reader is already familiar with the two variants, there's a
high probability that they will think that "end-of-line normalization"
is the same thing as "automatic end-of-line conversion".
It's also not clear that the phrase "When the file has been committed
with CRLF, no conversion is done" in the paragraph for text=auto does
not apply equally to the bare text attribute which is described earlier.
Moreover, it falsely implies that normalization is only suppressed if
the file has been committed. In fact, running `git add` on a CRLF file,
adding the text=auto attribute to the file, and running `git add` again
does not do anything to the line endings either.
On top of that, in several places the documentation for the eol
attribute sounds like either it does not affect normalization on checkin
or it forces normalization on checkin. It also sounds like setting eol
(or setting a config variable) is required to turn on conversion on
checkout, but the text attribute can turn on conversion on checkout by
itself if eol is unspecified.
Rephrase the documentation of text, text=auto, eol, eol=crlf, and eol=lf
to be clear about how they are the same, how they are different, and in
what cases conversion is performed.

The "diff" drivers specified by the "diff" attribute attached to
paths can now specify which algorithm (e.g. histogram) to use.
* jc/diff-algo-attribute:
diff: teach diff to read algorithm from diff driver
diff: consolidate diff algorithm option parsing
|
|
It can be useful to specify diff algorithms per file type. For example,
one may want to use the minimal diff algorithm for .json files, another
for .c files, etc.
The diff machinery already checks attributes for a diff driver. Teach
the diff driver parser a new type "algorithm" to look for in the
config, which will be used if a driver has been specified through the
attributes.
Enforce precedence of the diff algorithm by favoring the command line
option, then looking at the driver attributes & config combination, then
finally the diff.algorithm config.
To enforce precedence order, use a new `ignore_driver_algorithm` member
during options parsing to indicate the diff algorithm was set via command
line args.

The documentation for the eol attribute states that it is "effectively
setting the text attribute". However, this implies that it forces the
text attribute to always be set, which has not been the case since
6523728499 ("convert: unify the "auto" handling of CRLF", 2016-06-28).
Let's avoid confusing users (and the present author when trying to
describe Git's behavior to others) by clearly documenting in which
cases the "eol" attribute has effect.
Specifically, the attribute always has an effect unless the file is
explicitly set as -text, or the file is set as text=auto and the file is
detected as binary.

We stopped allowing symlinks for .gitmodules files in 10ecfa7649
(verify_path: disallow symlinks in .gitmodules, 2018-05-04), and we
stopped following symlinks for .gitattributes, .gitignore, and .mailmap
in the commits from 204333b015 (Merge branch 'jk/open-dotgitx-with-nofollow',
2021-03-22). The reasons are discussed in detail there, but we never
adjusted the documentation to let users know.
This hasn't been a big deal since the point is that such setups were
mildly broken and thought to be unusual anyway. But it certainly doesn't
hurt to be clear and explicit about it.

Add a diff driver for Scheme-like languages which recognizes top level
and local `define` forms, whether it is a function definition, binding,
syntax definition or a user-defined `define-xyzzy` form.
Also supports R6RS `library` forms, `module` forms along with class and
struct declarations used in Racket (PLT Scheme).
Alternate "def" syntax such as those in Gerbil Scheme are also
supported, like defstruct, defsyntax and so on.
The rationale for picking `define` forms for the hunk headers is because
it is usually the only significant form for defining the structure of
the program, and it is a common pattern for schemers to have local
function definitions to hide their visibility, so it is not only the top
level `define`'s that are of interest. Schemers also extend the language
with macros to provide their own define forms (for example, something
like a `define-test-suite`) which is also captured in the hunk header.
Since it is common practice to extend syntax with variants of a form
like `module+`, `class*` etc, those have been supported as well.
The word regex is a best-effort attempt to conform to R7RS[1] valid
identifiers, symbols and numbers.

Every %(describe) placeholder in $Format:...$ strings in files with the
attribute export-subst is expanded by calling git describe. This can
potentially result in a lot of such calls per archive. That's OK for
local repositories under control of the user of git archive, but could
be a problem for hosted repositories.
Expand only a single %(describe) placeholder per archive for now to
avoid denial-of-service attacks. We can make this limit configurable
later if needed, but let's start out simple.

It's typical to find Markdown documentation alongside source code, and
having better context for documentation changes is useful; see also
commit 69f9c87d4 (userdiff: add support for Fountain documents,
2015-07-21).
The pattern is based on the CommonMark specification 0.29, section 4.2
<https://spec.commonmark.org/> but doesn't match empty headings, as
seeing them in a hunk header is unlikely to be useful.
Only ATX headings are supported, as detecting setext headings would
require printing the line before a pattern matches, or matching a
multiline pattern. The word-diff pattern is the same as the pattern for
HTML, because many Markdown parsers accept inline HTML.

"git checkout" doing too many things is a source of confusion for many
users (and it even bites old timers sometimes). To remedy that, the
command will be split into two new ones: switch and restore. The good
old "git checkout" command is still here and will be until all (or most
of users) are sick of it.
See the new man page for the final design of switch. The actual
implementation though is still pretty much the same as "git checkout"
and not completely aligned with the man page. Following patches will
adjust their behavior to match the man page.

Users who want UTF-16 files in the working tree set the .gitattributes
like this:
test.txt working-tree-encoding=UTF-16
The unicode standard itself defines 3 allowed ways how to encode UTF-16.
The following 3 versions convert all back to 'g' 'i' 't' in UTF-8:
a) UTF-16, without BOM, big endian:
$ printf "\000g\000i\000t" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c
0000000 g i t
b) UTF-16, with BOM, little endian:
$ printf "\377\376g\000i\000t\000" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c
0000000 g i t
c) UTF-16, with BOM, big endian:
$ printf "\376\377\000g\000i\000t" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c
0000000 g i t
Git uses libiconv to convert from UTF-8 in the index into ITF-16 in the
working tree.
After a checkout, the resulting file has a BOM and is encoded in "UTF-16",
in the version (c) above.
This is what iconv generates, more details follow below.
iconv (and libiconv) can generate UTF-16, UTF-16LE or UTF-16BE:
d) UTF-16
$ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16 | od -c
0000000 376 377 \0 g \0 i \0 t
e) UTF-16LE
$ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16LE | od -c
0000000 g \0 i \0 t \0
f) UTF-16BE
$ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16BE | od -c
0000000 \0 g \0 i \0 t
There is no way to generate version (b) from above in a Git working tree,
but that is what some applications need.
(All fully unicode aware applications should be able to read all 3 variants,
but in practise we are not there yet).
When producing UTF-16 as an output, iconv generates the big endian version
with a BOM. (big endian is probably chosen for historical reasons).
iconv can produce UTF-16 files with little endianess by using "UTF-16LE"
as encoding, and that file does not have a BOM.
Not all users (especially under Windows) are happy with this.
Some tools are not fully unicode aware and can only handle version (b).
Today there is no way to produce version (b) with iconv (or libiconv).
Looking into the history of iconv, it seems as if version (c) will
be used in all future iconv versions (for compatibility reasons).
Solve this dilemma and introduce a Git-specific "UTF-16LE-BOM".
libiconv can not handle the encoding, so Git pick it up, handles the BOM
and uses libiconv to convert the rest of the stream.
(UTF-16BE-BOM is added for consistency)

When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper
case even if we write it otherwise. Make all 1st section headers
uppercase to keep it close to the final output.
This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's
a good idea to maintain a consistent style for 1st section headers.
Some sections perhaps should become second sections instead, where
case is kept, and for better organization. I will update if anyone has
suggestions about this.
While at there I also make some header more consistent (e.g. examples
vs example) and fix a couple minor things here and there.

UTF supports lossless conversion round tripping and conversions between
UTF and other encodings are mostly round trip safe as Unicode aims to be
a superset of all other character encodings. However, certain encodings
(e.g. SHIFT-JIS) are known to have round trip issues [1].
Add 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding', which contains a comma separated
list of encodings, to define for what encodings Git should check the
conversion round trip if they are used in the 'working-tree-encoding'
attribute.
Set SHIFT-JIS as default value for 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding'.

Git recognizes files encoded with ASCII or one of its supersets (e.g.
UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1) as text files. All other encodings are usually
interpreted as binary and consequently built-in Git text processing
tools (e.g. 'git diff') as well as most Git web front ends do not
visualize the content.
Add an attribute to tell Git what encoding the user has defined for a
given file. If the content is added to the index, then Git reencodes
the content to a canonical UTF-8 representation. On checkout Git will
reverse this operation.

Make it safer to normalize the line endings in a repository.
Files that had been commited with CRLF will be commited with LF.
The old way to normalize a repo was like this:
# Make sure that there are not untracked files
$ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes
$ git read-tree --empty
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization"
The user must make sure that there are no untracked files,
otherwise they would have been added and tracked from now on.
The new "add --renormalize" does not add untracked files:
$ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes
$ git add --renormalize .
$ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization"
Note that "git add --renormalize <pathspec>" is the short form for
"git add -u --renormalize <pathspec>".
While at it, document that the same renormalization may be needed,
whenever a clean filter is added or changed.

Some `clean` / `smudge` filters may require a significant amount of
time to process a single blob (e.g. the Git LFS smudge filter might
perform network requests). During this process the Git checkout
operation is blocked and Git needs to wait until the filter is done to
continue with the checkout.
Teach the filter process protocol, introduced in edcc8581 ("convert: add
filter.<driver>.process option", 2016-10-16), to accept the status
"delayed" as response to a filter request. Upon this response Git
continues with the checkout operation. After the checkout operation Git
calls "finish_delayed_checkout" which queries the filter for remaining
blobs. If the filter is still working on the completion, then the filter
is expected to block. If the filter has completed all remaining blobs
then an empty response is expected.
Git has a multiple code paths that checkout a blob. Support delayed
checkouts only in `clone` (in unpack-trees.c) and `checkout` operations
for now. The optimization is most effective in these code paths as all
files of the tree are processed.

When illustrating how to normalize the line endings, the
documentation in gitattributes tells the user to `rm .git/index`.
This is incorrect for two reasons:
- Users shouldn't be instructed to mess around with the internal
implementation of Git using raw file system tools like `rm`.
- Within a submodule or an additional working tree `.git` is just a
file containing a `gitdir: <path>` pointer into the real `.git`
directory. Therefore `rm .git/index` does not work.
The purpose of the `rm .git/index` instruction is to remove all entries
from the index without touching the working tree. The way to do this
with Git is to use `read-tree --empty`.

Git's clean/smudge mechanism invokes an external filter process for
every single blob that is affected by a filter. If Git filters a lot of
blobs then the startup time of the external filter processes can become
a significant part of the overall Git execution time.
In a preliminary performance test this developer used a clean/smudge
filter written in golang to filter 12,000 files. This process took 364s
with the existing filter mechanism and 5s with the new mechanism. See
details here: https://github.com/github/git-lfs/pull/1382
This patch adds the `filter.<driver>.process` string option which, if
used, keeps the external filter process running and processes all blobs
with the packet format (pkt-line) based protocol over standard input and
standard output. The full protocol is explained in detail in
`Documentation/gitattributes.txt`.
A few key decisions:
* The long running filter process is referred to as filter protocol
version 2 because the existing single shot filter invocation is
considered version 1.
* Git sends a welcome message and expects a response right after the
external filter process has started. This ensures that Git will not
hang if a version 1 filter is incorrectly used with the
filter.<driver>.process option for version 2 filters. In addition,
Git can detect this kind of error and warn the user.
* The status of a filter operation (e.g. "success" or "error) is set
before the actual response and (if necessary!) re-set after the
response. The advantage of this two step status response is that if
the filter detects an error early, then the filter can communicate
this and Git does not even need to create structures to read the
response.
* All status responses are pkt-line lists terminated with a flush
packet. This allows us to send other status fields with the same
protocol in the future.

Before this change,
$ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes
$ echo "* eol=crlf" >>.gitattributes
would have the same effect as
$ echo "* text" >.gitattributes
$ git config core.eol crlf
Since the 'eol' attribute had higher priority than 'text=auto', this may
corrupt binary files and is not what most users expect to happen.
Make the 'eol' attribute to obey 'text=auto' and now
$ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes
$ echo "* eol=crlf" >>.gitattributes
behaves the same as
$ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes
$ git config core.eol crlf
In other words,
$ echo "* text=auto eol=crlf" >.gitattributes
has the same effect as

CSS is widely used, motivating it being included as a built-in pattern.
It must be noted that the word_regex for CSS (i.e. the regex defining
what is a word in the language) does not consider '.' and '#' characters
(in CSS selectors) to be part of the word. This behavior is documented
by the test t/t4018/css-rule.
The logic behind this behavior is the following: identifiers in CSS
selectors are identifiers in a HTML/XML document. Therefore, the '.'/'#'
character are not part of the identifier, but an indicator of the nature
of the identifier in HTML/XML (class or id). Diffing ".class1" and
".class2" must show that the class name is changed, but we still are
selecting a class.
Logic behind the "pattern" regex is:
1. reject lines ending with a colon/semicolon (properties)
2. if a line begins with a name in column 1, pick the whole line

Traditionally, external low-level 3-way merge drivers are expected
to produce their results based solely on the contents of the three
variants given in temporary files named by %O, %A and %B on their
command line. Additionally allow them to look at the final path
(given by %P).
* jc/ll-merge-expose-path:
ll-merge: pass the original path to external drivers
|
|
The interface to custom low-level merge driver was modeled to be
capable of driving programs like "merge" (from the RCS suite) that
can produce result solely by looking at three files that hold
contents of common ancestor, ours and theirs. The information we
feed to the external drivers via the command line placeholders %O,
%A, and %B were designed to be purely about contents by giving
names of the temporary files that hold these variants without
exposing the original pathname. No matter where the result goes,
merging the same three variants should produce the same result,
contents is the king, that is the Git way.
The external driver interface, however, is meant to help people to
step outside the Git worldview, and sometimes people want to know
the final path that the resulting merged contents would be stored
in. Expose this to the external drivers via a new placeholder %P.

.gitattributes and .gitignore share the same pattern syntax but has

implementation accumulates more optimizations while attr's stays the

This patch reuses the core matching functions that are also used by

* "!pattern" syntax is forbidden in .gitattributes. As an attribute
can be unset (i.e. set to a special value "false") or made back to

By default, a missing filter driver or a failure from the filter driver is
not an error, but merely makes the filter operation a no-op pass through.
This is useful to massage the content into a shape that is more convenient
for the platform, filesystem, and the user to use, and the content filter
mechanism is not used to turn something unusable into usable.
However, we could also use of the content filtering mechanism and store
the content that cannot be directly used in the repository (e.g. a UUID
that refers to the true content stored outside git, or an encrypted
content) and turn it into a usable form upon checkout (e.g. download the
external content, or decrypt the encrypted content). For such a use case,
the content cannot be used when filter driver fails, and we need a way to
tell Git to abort the whole operation for such a failing or missing filter
driver.
Add a new "filter.<driver>.required" configuration variable to mark the
second use case. When it is set, git will abort the operation when the
filter driver does not exist or exits with a non-zero status code.

Currently, merging across changes in line ending normalization is

even if the only difference between the two versions is the line
endings. Additionally, any "real" merge conflicts that exist are
obscured because every line in the file has a conflict.
Assume you start out with a repo that has a lot of text files with CRLF
checked in (A):
o---C
/ \
A---B---D
B: Add "* text=auto" to .gitattributes and normalize all files to
LF-only
C: Modify some of the text files
D: Try to merge C
You will get a ridiculous number of LF/CRLF conflicts when trying to
merge C into D, since the repository contents for C are "wrong" wrt the
new .gitattributes file.
Fix ll-merge so that the "base", "theirs" and "ours" stages are passed
through convert_to_worktree() and convert_to_git() before a three-way
merge. This ensures that all three stages are normalized in the same
way, removing from consideration differences that are only due to
normalization.
This feature is optional for now since it changes a low-level mechanism
and is not necessary for the majority of users. The "merge.renormalize"
config variable enables it.

Introduce a new configuration variable, "core.eol", that allows the user
to set which line endings to use for end-of-line-normalized files in the

Change the semantics of the "crlf" attribute so that it enables
end-of-line normalization when it is set, regardless of "core.autocrlf".
Add a new setting for "crlf": "auto", which enables end-of-line
conversion but does not override the automatic text file detection.
Add a new attribute "eol" with possible values "crlf" and "lf". When
set, this attribute enables normalization and forces git to use CRLF or
LF line endings in the working directory, respectively.
The line ending style to be used for normalized text files in the
working directory is set using "core.autocrlf". When it is set to
"true", CRLFs are used in the working directory; when set to "input" or
"false", LFs are used.

This teaches the --color-words engine a more general interface that
supports two new modes:
* --word-diff=plain, inspired by the 'wdiff' utility (most similar to
'wdiff -n <old> <new>'): uses delimiters [-removed-] and {+added+}
* --word-diff=porcelain, which generates an ad-hoc machine readable
format:
- each diff unit is prefixed by [-+ ] and terminated by newline as
in unified diff
- newlines in the input are output as a line consisting only of a
tilde '~'
Both of these formats still support color if it is enabled, using it
to highlight the differences. --color-words becomes a synonym for
--word-diff=color, which is the color-only format. Also adds some
compatibility/convenience options.

Running a textconv filter can take a long time. It's
particularly bad for a large file which needs to be spooled
to disk, but even for small files, the fork+exec overhead
can add up for something like "git log -p".
This patch uses the notes-cache mechanism to keep a fast
cache of textconv output. Caches are stored in
refs/notes/textconv/$x, where $x is the userdiff driver
defined in gitattributes.
Caching is enabled only if diff.$x.cachetextconv is true.
In my test repo, on a commit with 45 jpg and avi files
changed and a textconv to show their exif tags:
[before]
$ time git show >/dev/null
real 0m13.724s
user 0m12.057s
sys 0m1.624s
[after, first run]
$ git config diff.mfo.cachetextconv true
$ time git show >/dev/null
real 0m14.252s
user 0m12.197s
sys 0m1.800s
[after, subsequent runs]
$ time git show >/dev/null
real 0m0.352s
user 0m0.148s
sys 0m0.200s
So for a slight (3.8%) cost on the first run, we achieve an
almost 40x speed up on subsequent runs.

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

The gitattributes documentation has a section on the "diff"
attribute, with subsections for each of the things you might
want to configure in your diff config section (external
diff, hunk headers, etc). The first such subsection
specifically notes that the definition of the diff driver
should go into $GIT_DIR/config, but subsequent sections do
not.
This location is implied if you are reading the
documentation sequentially, but it is not uncommon for a new
user to jump to (or be referred to) a specific section. For
a new user who does not know git well enough to recognize
the config syntax, it is not clear that those directives
don't also go into the gitattributes file.
This patch just mentions the config file in each subsection,
similar to the way it is mentioned in the first.

Currently, the hunk headers produced by 'diff -p' are customizable by
setting the diff.*.funcname option in the config file. The 'funcname' option
takes a basic regular expression. This functionality was designed using the
GNU regex library which, by default, allows using backslashed versions of
some extended regular expression operators, even in Basic Regular Expression
mode. For example, the following characters, when backslashed, are
interpreted according to the extended regular expression rules: ?, +, and |.
As such, the builtin funcname patterns were created using some extended
regular expression operators.
Other platforms which adhere more strictly to the POSIX spec do not
interpret the backslashed extended RE operators in Basic Regular Expression
mode. This causes the pattern matching for the builtin funcname patterns to
fail on those platforms.
Introduce a new option 'xfuncname' which uses extended regular expressions,
and advertise it _instead_ of funcname. Since most users are on GNU
platforms, the majority of funcname patterns are created and tested there.
Advertising only xfuncname should help to avoid the creation of non-portable
patterns which work with GNU regex but not elsewhere.
Additionally, the extended regular expressions may be less ugly and
complicated compared to the basic RE since many common special operators do
not need to be backslashed.
For example, the GNU Basic RE:
^[ ]*\\(\\(public\\|static\\).*\\)$
becomes the following Extended RE:
^[ ]*((public|static).*)$

not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to

escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.

CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
autocrlf=true will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and
CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git. For text
files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
conversion can corrupt data.
If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right
after committing you still have the original file in your work
tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell
git that this file is binary and git will handle the file
appropriately.
Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed
in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing
to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
converting CRLFs corrupts data.
This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about
an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert. The
mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the
following values:
- false: disable safecrlf mechanism
- warn: warn about irreversible conversions
- true: refuse irreversible conversions
The default is to warn. Users are only affected by this default
if core.autocrlf is set. But the current default of git is to
leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless
they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism.
The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command. The
general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are:
- we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an
irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the
original file.
- for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree
we do not not print annoying warnings.
There are exceptions. Even though...
- "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the
next checkout would, so the safety triggers;
- "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files
in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF
conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the
safety does not trigger;
- "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is
often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add". To
catch potential problems early, safety triggers.
The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar
way by Linus Torvalds. Thanks to Dimitry Potapov for insisting
on getting the naked LF/autocrlf=true case right.

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

The `core.whitespace` configuration variable allows you to define what
`diff` and `apply` should consider whitespace errors for all paths in
the project (See gitlink:git-config[1]). This attribute gives you finer
control per path.
For example, if you have these in the .gitattributes:
frotz whitespace
nitfol -whitespace
xyzzy whitespace=-trailing
all types of whitespace problems known to git are noticed in path 'frotz'
(i.e. diff shows them in diff.whitespace color, and apply warns about
them), no whitespace problem is noticed in path 'nitfol', and the
default types of whitespace problems except "trailing whitespace" are
noticed for path 'xyzzy'. A project with mixed Python and C might want
to have:
*.c whitespace
*.py whitespace=-indent-with-non-tab
in its toplevel .gitattributes file.

The description was meant to emphasizes that the project should remain
usable even if the filter driver was not used. This makes it more explicit
and removes the "here is rope to hang yourself" paraphrase.

As suggested by Junio and Johannes, change the name of the former
attribute specfile to export-subst to indicate its function rather
than purpose and to make clear that it is not applied to working tree
files.

As suggested by Johannes, --pretty=format: placeholders in specfiles
need to be wrapped in $Format:...$ now. This syntax change restricts
the expansion of placeholders and makes it easier to use with files
that contain non-placeholder percent signs.

Add support for a new attribute, specfile. Files marked as being
specfiles are expanded by git-archive when they are written to an
archive. It has no effect on worktree files. The same placeholders
as those for the option --pretty=format: of git-log et al. can be
used.
The attribute is useful for creating auto-updating specfiles. It is
limited by the underlying function format_commit_message(), though.
E.g. currently there is no placeholder for git-describe like output,
and expanded specfiles can't contain NUL bytes. That can be fixed
in format_commit_message() later and will then benefit users of
git-log, too.

with other VCSs
$Id$ is present already in SVN and CVS; it would mean that people
converting their existing repositories won't have to make any changes to
the source files should they want to make use of the ident attribute.
Given that it's a feature that's meant to calm those very people, it
seems obtuse to make them edit every file just to make use of it.
I think that bzr uses $Id$; Mercurial has examples hooks for $Id$;
monotone has $Id$ on its wishlist. I can't think of a good reason not
to stick with the de-facto standard and call ours $Id$ instead of
$ident$.

The interface is similar to the custom low-level merge drivers.
First you configure your filter driver by defining 'filter.<name>.*'
variables in the configuration.
filter.<name>.clean filter command to run upon checkin
filter.<name>.smudge filter command to run upon checkout
Then you assign filter attribute to each path, whose name
matches the custom filter driver's name.
Example:
(in .gitattributes)
*.c filter=indent
(in config)
[filter "indent"]
clean = indent
smudge = cat

The 'ident' attribute set to path squashes "$ident:<any bytes
except dollor sign>$" to "$ident$" upon checkin, and expands it
to "$ident: <blob SHA-1> $" upon checkout.
As we have two conversions that affect checkin/checkout paths,
clarify how they interact with each other.
