[PATCH v10 0/3]

[PATCH v10 0/3]

[David Turner]

Change text explaining that --follow-symlinks only works with
--batch{-check,}; now it is presented as a missing feature rather than
a necessary evil.

[PATCH 1/3] tree-walk: learn get_tree_entry_follow_symlinks

[David Turner]

Add a new function, get_tree_entry_follow_symlinks, to tree-walk.[ch].
The function is not yet used.  It will be used to implement git
cat-file --batch --follow-symlinks.

The function locates an object by path, following symlinks in the
repository.  If the symlinks lead outside the repository, the function
reports this to the caller.

[PATCH 2/3] sha1_name: get_sha1_with_context learns to follow symlinks

[David Turner]

Wire up get_sha1_with_context to call get_tree_entry_follow_symlinks
when GET_SHA1_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS is passed in flags. G_S_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS
is incompatible with G_S_ONLY_TO_DIE because the diagnosis
that ONLY_TO_DIE triggers does not at present consider symlinks, and
it would be a significant amount of additional code to allow it to
do so.

[PATCH 3/3] cat-file: add --follow-symlinks to --batch

[David Turner]

This wires the in-repo-symlink following code through to the cat-file
builtin.  In the event of an out-of-repo link, cat-file will print
the link in a new format.

[PATCH v10 0/3]

[nbelakovski]

From: Nickolai Belakovski <nbelakovski@gmail.com>

Added test_i18ncmp per instructions from Szeder

Is there some other part of the infrastructure that's testing for this? Because it did not fail in any of my Travis CI builds.

Travis CI results: https://travis-ci.org/nbelakovski/git/builds/525801210

Nickolai Belakovski (3):
  ref-filter: add worktreepath atom
  branch: update output to include worktree info
  branch: add worktree info on verbose output

Testing with GETTEXT_POISON was broken since 6cdccfce (i18n: make
GETTEXT_POISON a runtime option, 2018-11-08), and didn't catch any of
these issues.  See:

  https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqlg0bvppc.fsf_-_@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com/T/#u

The fix f88b9cb603 (gettext tests: export the restored
GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON, 2019-04-15) was merged to master just last
week.

Ah I see, thanks for the info.

Hi,

am I the only person who is puzzled every time this patch series with a
completely empty subject and without any further explanation about the
intent in the mail body is sent?

Ciao,
Johannes

Sorry, I'm not very accustomed to mailing list development. I had
assumed that this was being threaded with the other messages in the
series, hence leaving the subject blank and only putting new info in
the body.

In the future I'll add in an appropriate subject and brief re-hash in
the body. Thanks for bringing it up.

Hi Nickolai,

The openness of a mailing list-centric development is that everybody with
an email address can participate [*1*].

The downside is that *anybody* with *any* mail program can be a reader, so
you cannot assume *anything* about how people will read your mails. Some
will read it in a mail program that color-codes levels of quotation.
Others will not have any color whatsoever. Some thread. Some don't. In
most mail programs, you cannot even search for a Message-ID. Which can be
non-unique.

So the perceived benefits of this way to run a project come at a price.

Thank you,
Johannes

Footnote *1*: Of course, it is not *all* that open. If you cannot convince
your mail program to send mails in plain text only, and to stop
reformatting mails e.g. to make them look better on cell phones (refusing
this is the price of requiring patches to be sent in whitespace-preserving
plain text emails), then you're not invited to the party. This is why I
sometimes say, not altogether without reason, that you can use *any*
mail program to participate in the Git project as long as it is `mutt`.
