Subject: [PATCH v2 1/8] for-each-ref: add --stdin option
Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2023 17:20:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a1d9e0f6ff6660c9264673be18bc24956f74eb9c.1678468864.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.1489.v2.git.1678468863.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>
When a user wishes to input a large list of patterns to 'git
for-each-ref' (likely a long list of exact refs) there are frequently
system limits on the number of command-line arguments.
Add a new --stdin option to instead read the patterns from standard
input. Add tests that check that any unrecognized arguments are
considered an error when --stdin is provided. Also, an empty pattern
list is interpreted as the complete ref set.
When reading from stdin, we populate the filter.name_patterns array
dynamically as opposed to pointing to the 'argv' array directly. This
requires a careful cast while freeing the individual strings,
conditioned on the --stdin option.
