[PATCH] Add git-config --remove-section, document --rename-section

[PATCH] Add git-config --remove-section, document --rename-section

[Paolo Bonzini]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 190 bytes --]

As per the subject.  The existing --rename-section option is 
undocumented, while --remove-section is added by this patch based on the 
code I had written for the "git branch" patch.

* git-config: document --rename-section, provide --remove-section

This patch documents the previously undocumented option --rename-section
and adds a new option to zap an entire section.

You desperately need tests for this code.

[PATCH] add test for git-config --remove-section

[Johannes Schindelin]

This adds a simple test if a section is properly removed, even if the 
section header is repeated in the config.

	Something like this? Totally untested (of course)...

Am I right assuming that you copied rename_section(), and modified it to 
be remove_section()?

How about modifying rename_section() so that if new_name == NULL, it 
removes the section?

But I like the way you extracted section_name_match(). Makes the code much 
more readable.

Yes, after extracting section_name_match.

It's not so immediate, because rename_section has to print all the non-section lines anyway, while remove_section has to remove them too.  I agree though that there is some duplicate code in getting the filename to open.

Thanks for writing the test, having an example will make my future work easier.

Of course you would have to move "int removing" and the related two lines 
to rename_section(), too.

The diff would be shorter, and if you then rename the function to 
rename_or_remove_section() it becomes all clearer.

You're welcome. Knowing how useful tests are is one of the good lessons of 
Extreme Programming...

It's more different than it looks like.  For example, remove_section needs this,

        if (buf[i] == '[') {
                if (section_name_match (&buf[i + 1], name)) {
		} else
			...
	}

while rename_section can use

        if (buf[i] == '[' && section_name_match (&buf[i+1], old_name)) {

and has more indenting in it.  The amount of indentation in the combined function is not makign things easier to read.

But it does not have to.

	if (buf[i] == '[') {
		if (section_name_match(&buf[i + 1], old_name) {
			if (new_name == NULL)
				remove = 1;
			else
				/* write new section */
			continue;
		}
		remove = 0;
	}
	if (!remove)
		/* write buf */

Try doing this and you'll see that the 8-character indentation makes it pretty hard. :-)

	I just made the changes to git_rename_section() myself, and added
	the test case (which I made a little nastier, too), then made sure
	that everything is fine.

	Paolo, do you agree with this patch? I left you as the author, 
	because you did all the hard work.
