Supported keywords are "error", "warning", "hint" and "success".

TODO:
 * make the coloring optional? What variable to use?
 * doc for the coloring option.
 * how to test?

Thanks for taking this upstream. :-)

This is the natural extension of the topic merged at a56fb3dcc09
(Merge branch 'js/colored-push-errors', 2018-05-08), which was merged
rather recently, so I'd think extending the color.transport option would be
useful here. (cc'd the authors of that series)

I think the best way to get started with a test is to be inspired by
8301266afa4 (push: test to verify that push errors are colored,
2018-04-21) from that series.

We do not do Change-Ids in git upstream. :/
As different workflows have different edges, everyone has their own
little script to deal with those. For example Brandon has
https://github.com/bmwill/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/check-patch
that contains a section to remove change ids

    # Remove Change-Id from patch
    sed -i "/Change-Id:/d" "$f"

> +void emit_sideband(struct strbuf *dest, const char *src, int n) {

Coding style: we start the brace in the next line for new functions
(but not after if/while/for)

Also I did not think hard enough in the internal review, as this function
is not emitting to the sideband. that is solely done by the xwrite
call in recv_sideband. So maybe prepare_sideband would be a better
name?

At the sideband layer, the sender only has the same level of
information as the receiver has regarding what the random bytes that
happens to be sent on the sideband, and that shows from the need to
guess with "keywords" in this code.  So if you are operating on the
sideband layer, I think the right way to do so would be to add the
coloring on the receiving end.  That way, talking to the same sender,
each receiver can decide if s/he prefers or capable of color.

    Hold your objection a bit.  I'll come back to it soon ;-)

It theoretically may make more sense to color on the sender side,
but that is true only if done at a higher layer that prepares a
string and calls into the sideband code to send.  That code must
know what the bytes _mean_ a lot better than the code at the
sideband layer, so we do not have to guess.

Having written all the above, I think you are doing this at the
receiving end, so this actually makes quite a lot of sense.  I was
fooled greatly by "EMIT_sideband", which in reality does NOT emit at
all.  That function is badly misnamed.

The function is more like "color sideband payload"; actual
"emitting" is still done at the places the code originally "emitted"
them to the receiving user.

That's an unusual trailer we do not use in this project.

In our codebase in C, asterisk sticks to the variable not the type.

Drop the last sentinel element, and instead stop iteration over the

Does anybody know if we already use the variable decl inside the
"for (...)" construct like this?  I know we discussed the idea of
using it somewhere as a weather-balloon to see if people with exotic
environment would mind, and I certainly do not mind making this
patch serve as such a weather-baloon, but if that is what we are
doing, I want the commit log message clearly marked as such, so that
we can later "git log --grep=C99" to see how long ago such an
experiment started.  

Note that we did attempt to start such an experiment once

cf. https://public-inbox.org/git/20170719181956.15845-1-sbeller@google.com/

but failed.

I wonder how this interacts with exotics like the progress output,
which is essentially a single long line with many CRs sprinkled in,
sent on many packets?  I offhand do not think of a possible bad
interaction, but others may be able to think of some.

Let's not lose SP around "+" on both sides.

Also you seem to be indenting some lines with all SP and some with
mixture of HT and SP.  We prefer to use as many 8-column HT and then
fill the remainder with SP if needed to align with the opening
parenthesis on line above it (imitate the way strbuf_addf() is split
into two lines in the original in this hunk).

Here, suffix is the "clear to the end of the line" sequence (used
mostly for progress display), so it is correct to exclude that from
the call to "color this sideband payload" helper.  Good.

Thanks.  While there are need for mostly minor fix-ups, the logic
seems quite sane.  I think we can start without configuration and
then "fix" it later.  

While I am OK with calling that variable "transport.<something>", we
should not define/explain it as "color output coming from the other
end over the wire transport".  Those who want to see messages
emitted remotely during "git fetch" in color would want to see the
messages generated by "git fetch" locally painted in the same color
scheme, so it makes sense to let "git fetch" pay attention and honor
that variable even for its own locally generated messages.  The
variable instead means "color any message, either generated locally
or remotely, during an operation that has something to do with
object transport", or something like that.

Thanks.

fixed.

Yes, I know. I forgot to strip it from v2 again, though :-(

Done

Done.

I elided this. (I had expected for the compile to enforce restrictions
like these using --std=c99.)

Fixed these, I think.

I need the configuration to be able to test this, though.

I used color.remote for the property,  but I'm happy to colorize the
bikeshed with another color.
