Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] apply: set file mode when --reverse creates a deleted file
Date: Fri, 23 May 2025 23:40:44 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250524034046.2619-1-mark@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250523172154.93810-1-mark@chromium.org>
Commit 01aff0a (apply: correctly reverse patch's pre- and post-image
mode bits, 2023-12-26) revised reverse_patches() to maintain the desired
property that when only one of patch::old_mode and patch::new_mode is
set, the mode will be carried in old_mode. That property is generally
correct, with one notable exception: when creating a file, only new_mode
will be set. Since reversing a deletion results in a creation, new_mode
must be set in that case.
Omitting handling for this case means that reversing a patch that
removes an executable file will not result in the executable permission
being set on the re-created file.
Changes from v2:
* test_file_mode_common correctly fails when requested to verify the
presence of a file (by nonzero mode argument) that is actually absent.
* Test setup establishes tags at appropriate checkpoints with git tag,
and tests restore those checkpoints with git reset --hard, making
tests less sensitive to execution order and to the success of previous
tests.
* test_file_mode_common accepts full 6-digit file modes instead of
4-digit ones, and uses 000000 for absent files (as git diff --raw
does) instead of an empty string.
* File presence is assured with >f as opposed to touch f. Minor style
* fix at the point of test_file_mode_common's declaration.
Changes from v1:
* Reword the commit message as requested.
* Refactor the new test in accordance with review feedback, splitting it
up and increasing coverage.
* Introduce another new test for the specific problem that commit
01aff0a (apply: correctly reverse patch's pre- and post-image mode
bits, 2023-12-26) fixed.
