[RFC/PATCH v3 0/4] Disable "git status" comment prefix

[RFC/PATCH v3 0/4] Disable "git status" comment prefix

[Matthieu Moy]

So, here's a reroll that makes the code cleaner.

First patches are cleanups without behavioral changes, only the last
one does something new.

I'm waiting for more comments to decide what to do with the
configuration option. Right now, my preference would be to call it
status.oldStyle and default it to false (i.e. change the behavior, but
allow old-timers to get back the old one).

[PATCH v3 2/4] wt-status: use argv_array API

[Matthieu Moy]

No behavior change, but two slight code reorganization: argv_array_push
doesn't accept NULL strings, and duplicates its argument hence
summary_limit must be written to before being inserted into argv.

[PATCH v3 3/4] get rid of "git submodule summary --for-status"

[Matthieu Moy]

The --for-status option was an undocumented option used only by
wt-status.c, which inserted a header and commented out the output. We can
achieve the same result within wt-status.c, without polluting the
submodule command-line options.

This will make it easier to disable the comments from wt-status.c later.

Cool, thanks for implementing this!

But unfortunately this change collides with bc/submodule-status-ignored
(I added Brian to the CC) which is currently on its way to next. Your
patch will break the fix in the second commit, because that's only
enabled when the submodule script sees the --for-status option.

A solution for that would be to rebase your patches on top of pu, drop
the first two hunks of the change to git-submodule.sh and still pass
the --for-status option to git-submodule.sh. This would move adding the
comment characters into wt-status.c but will still enable the script to
honor the ignore=all setting when called by status.

Junio, what is our take on changing behavior of undocumented internally
used options? Do we have to add a new --for-status2 (which doesn't add
the comment characters) or is it ok to just change the behavior of the
existing option?

Because of the missing quotes around $for_status, it seems the test is

$ test -n   ; echo $?

Please don't. That changes the default behavior of submodule summary,
which never ignores any submodules. The ignore logic was added to core
git after commands like diff and status learned to check submodules for
modifications too. That was bad for people who used submodules to store
many and/or huge files in a way that wouldn't slow down diff or status,
as it slowed them down again. The ignore option allowed them to continue
using submodules for that purpose. They still need to have the submodule
script ignore the ignore settings, because running them is the point in
time they want to take the extra effort to look into those submodules
they normally ignore. And that's why the submodule totally lacks any
option to control the ignore behavior, which we would also have to add
if we would follow your proposal.

So I think it's either changing the default behavior of --for-status or
adding another option (--for-status-wo-comment or such) which will honor
the ignore setting only when called from status.

Right you are, I did not notice the missing "" in my review. Looks like
we also should add one or more tests making sure that submodule summary
and status never honor the ignore settings.

How do we want to handle this?  I can send a reroll and include some
new tests, but if this code is going away, then there's no point.

A reroll would be great, as I think your patch is a bugfix that should
go in rather soonish no matter how we continue with the comment signs.
Two new tests (one for submodule summary and one for submodule status)
with both the global ignore setting and a submodule specific one set
to "all" showing no impact on the output would suffice (and trigger the
then also fixed missing "" bug ;-).

I think we should go that route, --for-status is an internal option and
nobody should rely on its behavior.

This "fprintf()" looks bogus to me.  How about adding this on top?

[PATCH v3 4/4] status: introduce status.displayCommentChar to disable display of #

[Matthieu Moy]

Historically, "git status" needed to prefix each output line with '#' so
that the output could be added as comment to the commit message. This
prefix comment has no real purpose when "git status" is ran from the
command-line, and this may distract users from the real content.

Allow the user to disable this prefix comment. In the long run, if users
like the non-prefix output, it may make sense to flip the default value
to true.

Obviously, status.displayCommentChar applies to "git status" but is
ignored by "git commit", so the status is still commented in
COMMIT_EDITMSG.
