[PATCH v5 0/3] config: add '--sources' option to print the source of a config value

[larsxschneider]

From: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@gmail.com>

diff to v4:
* improve wording of "exit code" cleanup commit message (Thanks Peff)
* remove t1300 "--show-origin" test teardown (Thanks Peff)
* fix no parameter function prototype (Thanks Ramsay)
* use doublequotes instead of tabs to test quoted paths (Thanks Junio)

I though a while about Ramsay's suggestion to restore the old error messages
for config reads via stdin. Since reading the config via stdin is not that
common I don't think the increased complexity is worth the effort. Unless
Ramsay or someone else feels strongly about it, I would like to proceed and
keep the new error messages

Thanks for the review,
Lars

[PATCH v5 1/3] t: do not hide Git's exit code in tests using 'nul_to_q'

[larsxschneider]

From: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@gmail.com>

Git should not be on the left-hand side of a pipe, because it hides the exit
code, and we want to make sure git does not fail.

Fix all invocations of 'nul_to_q' (defined in /t/test-lib-functions.sh) using
this pattern. There is one more occurrence of the pattern in t9010-svn-fe.sh
which is too evolved to change it easily.

All remaining test code that does not adhere to the pattern can be found with
the following command:
git grep -E 'git.*[^|]\|($|[^|])'

[PATCH v5 2/3] config: add 'type' to config_source struct that identifies config type

[larsxschneider]

From: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@gmail.com>

Use the config type to print more detailed error messages that inform
the user about the origin of a config error (file, stdin, blob).

"type" is too broad a word in the context of configuration file, and
does not help readers as a variable or a field name in a structure.
You are not talking about "this is a binary typed variable", for
example.

If showing the origin is useful to the user, that origin should be
called origin, not type, I would think.

You seem to use in 3/3 "origin type", and I think that is a sensible
phrasing.  Renaming 'type' to 'origin' in this patch would not be a
good idea, but renaming it to 'origin_type' would be a great thing
to do.

In the context of configuration parsing, 'origin' would be like
"file called .git/config", "standard input", "command line's 3rd
argument", etc., i.e. for some origin types, it would consist of
<origin_type=file, origin_value=.git/config> pair, while some other
origin type (e.g. "standard input") there is no need for an
"origin_value" that further qualifies the origin.

Thanks.

OK, I agree. I will wait one more day for other comments and make a
reroll with the change tomorrow.

[PATCH v5 3/3] config: add '--show-origin' option to print the origin of a config value

[larsxschneider]

From: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@gmail.com>

If config values are queried using 'git config' (e.g. via --get,
--get-all, --get-regexp, or --list flag) then it is sometimes hard to
find the configuration file where the values were defined.

Teach 'git config' the '--show-origin' option to print the source
configuration file for every printed value.
