Subject: [PATCH v2 11/19] Do not read .git/info/attributes if there is no repository
Date: Sun, 21 Mar 2010 17:30:38 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1269167446-7799-12-git-send-email-pclouds@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1269167446-7799-1-git-send-email-pclouds@gmail.com>

This one is difficult to demonstrate by tests. So I'll describe the
call flow instead.

Say we do "git grep --no-index --show-function foo -- bar" in no
repository. The call flow would be:
 - ...
 - cmd_grep
 - grep_directory
 - grep_file
 - grep_buffer
 - grep_buffer_1
 - userdiff_find_by_path
 - git_checkattr("diff")
 - bootstrap_attr_stack
 - git_path("info/attributes")

Because no repository is found, git_dir in environment.c would be
NULL. When it reaches git_path("info/attributes"), it will
automatically set git_dir to ".git". If we have $(cwd)/.git/info/attributes
then that file will be read, no matter $(cwd)/.git is a valid
repository.

This bug is hard to be exposed, because after git_checkattr("diff")
finds something (wrong). It will look up for diff drivers from
.git/config. If we do thing correctly, .git/config will not be read,
thus no diff drivers, no visible impact. If .git/config is read,
git_dir must be set already, all this would not happen.
