Subject: Do you use "git-apply --show-files"?
Date: Sun, 16 Oct 2005 11:41:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7vek6lxq1d.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> (raw)
As a part of "funny pathname character" updates, I was reviewing
"apply.c" and have two questions on its "--show-files" flag.
* Unlike other informational flags like --stat and --summary,
it does not turn off "apply". Is it intentional?
* Do you (or anybody else) use it, and if so how?
The current code in the proposed updates branch decodes the same
C-style encoded pathnames GNU patch with proposed enhancements
would understand before applying patches, and when it needs to
show pathnames with --index-info, --stat, and --summary, it uses
the same encoded pathname to keep things on one line.
I think --show-files should also do the same for consistency,
but before I update it I wanted to ask the above questions. If
nobody uses it, I can just ignore the issues and probably
remove the flag.
The plan is to backport the git-apply change to the maint branch
to do a 0.99.8e before updated git-diff-* hits the master
branch. The only thing that would make a difference is embedded
SP. Currently they are not quoted, but they will be, like this:
: siamese; git diff
diff --git "a/Read Me" "b/Read Me"
index 3deac99..543a8f0 100644
--- "a/Read Me"
+++ "b/Read Me"
