The reason for the failure is the new syntax for multi-section variables.

This patch makes the test succed, by changing

	[1.2.3]

into

	[1 "2.3"]

which is how subsections now end up being shown (you can still _parse_ 
them the old way, but they get created the new way, which is why the test 
fails)

That's a very strange test-case, and on the face of it the new syntax 
looks "worse", but if you were to be realistic about this kind of section 
name, it would more likely explain _what_ that number sequence means, so 
you would more realistically name your sections something like

	[version "1.2.3"]

which I think everybody agrees looks nicer than

	[version.1.2.3]

or similar.

Of course, I don't think we currently actually have any _users_ of any 
multi-level section names at all, so this is all entirely theoretical 
until we start actually using them.

* The 'next' branch, in addition, has these.

  - cvsserver and cvsexportcommit updates (Martin Langhoff and Martyn Smith)

    This is a new merge but not very new code.  Martin may want
    to comment on how ready they are.

  - built-in fmt-patch (Johannes Schindelin)

    I think this is ready, even though it does not have some
    things we have in format-patch (i.e. --attach, --signoff,
    --check).  If anybody deeply cares please stop me soon or
    better yet enhance with your patches; otherwise I would like
    to push this out to "master" sometime next week to supersede
    the git-format-patch script.

  - built-in grep (me)

    I think this is also ready, even though it robs users from
    having funky "grep" on their $PATH and invoke it.  Compared
    to GNU grep, it lacks -P (pcre), -Z (NUL-terminated output),
    -q (totally quiet), -z (NUL-terminated input), but all the
    commonly used ones including -f (from file), -F (fixed), -w
    (word regexp), -l/-L (files with/without match) and -n (line
    number) are implemented.  The same "stop me or else" comment
    applies.

  - use config "remote.$name.url" and friends for fetch/pull
    (Johannes Schindelin)

    I think this itself is ready; the only reason I do not plan
    to do so this week is to wait until the new config format
    discussion settles, at which time we would need to adjust
    this to the new format.

  - cache-tree (me)

    This has been stalled; I would want to redo it without using
    out-of-index data structure, but that would need the
    following steps, and lately I have too many distractions to
    concentrate on them.

    - review existing index/working-tree/tree walkers.

    - prepare a merge-tree style path walker that walks index,
      working tree, and zero or more trees in parallel.  This
      would probably have an interator interface to return list
      of either tree or blob <mode,sha1> to the caller.  Because
      index does not currently have tree entries, a "not
      up-to-date" tree entry would be returned from the index
      part of the walker if I base this change on "master".  I
      might base this on "next" and use information from
      cache-tree. 

    - using the parallel path walker, revamp diff-cache (both
      cached and non cached) to work out kinks to the walker API
      and see how well it performs.  If I base the work on
      "next", the code should be able to skip unchanged
      subtrees.

    - revamp diff-files (walks index and working tree), although
      this will not get any benefit from having tree entries in
      the index.

    - revamp read-tree (all forms).

    - if I based the work on "next", rip out the cache-tree
      dependency and make the walker return "not up-to-date"
      tree entries for index.

    - revamp update-index, apply, and write-tree to have tree
      entries in the index.  This probably involves revamping
      read-cache interface to update the index file contents.

    - review read-tree to make sure it correctly maintains the
      tree entries in the cache.

* The 'pu' branch, in addition, has the proposed configuration
  file syntax updates from Linus with a patch from Sean.  I
  haven't had time to really look at it, and it seems to fail a
  test right now, but I left it as is.  This is merged from a
  throw-away topic branch for now, but when I resume to gitting
  sometime next week I am hoping we have something ready to be
  tested (iow, "next" material) based on the list concensus.  At
  that time we might probably do backport to cope with the
  syntax updates for 1.3.X release and perhaps 1.2.X series just
  for fun.

That's what my stupid patch does now. It seems to work well for all cases, 
but if we were to care, we could have some special heuristics for 
different section names (ie "if subsection is all lower-case 
alphanumerics, and the section name is one of the following, use the 
old-fashioned format").

I don't see _why_ we'd ever do that, but we certainly _could_, if it were 
to make more sense that way for some section name.

However, if you already use a syntax like

	[section.subsection]
		key = 1

and then do

	git-repo-config --replace-all section.subsection.new 2

it will actually keep the old section header, so you'll end up with

	[section.subsection]
		key = 1
		new = 2

but if you create a _new_ subsection (and since subsections are now case 
sensitive, this example is a "new" subsection):

	git-repo-config --replace-all section.SubSection.new 3

you will now have

	[section.subsection]
		key = 1
		new = 2
	[section "SubSection"]
		new = 3

(ie notice how it did _not_ replace the old "section.subsection.new", 
because of how this is a _different_ subsection due to the subsectin 
rules, and notice how it will always create the new subsection with 
quotes).

So you _can_ continue to use the old subsection format, and it will work 
the way it always did, except for the fact that it would now be deprecated 
(if there were any multi-level users, which I don't think there are), and 
it is now case-sensitive (which makes sense in the new format with "" 
around it, but is illogical in the old deprecated one).

> It seems to handle everything, you have me convinced.

Hey, it was fun, and the only ugly part was the write-out of the quoted 
format.

And it should be perfectly easy to use. Modulo double-quotes in branch 
names, you can do trivial things like

	git repo-config "branch.$branchname.remote" "git://git.kernel.org/..."

and it will do the obvious thing.

My one complaint is that I think we should add an empty line for the case 
where we add a new sub-section to the end of a file. That's not a new 
problem, but that was really the only visually ugly part I noticed during 
testing.

You _can_ be user-friendly and machine-parseable at the same time!

So every mutli-part section is going to be of the form:

  [section "big long opaque string"]

It seems to handle everything, you have me convinced.

Well, obviously it's _simpler_ to have the machine-readable format as-is, 
and say "don't try to make it human-readable". But the repo-config patch 
to make it human-readable isn't that hard.

And it's _not_ that hard to make repo-config do the right thing.

Here's a pretty lightly tested patch (on top of my previous one) that does 
exactly that.

Actually, LF is already handled just fine in the value part:

[proski@dv .git]$ git-repo-config s1.k1 $'v1\nv2'
[proski@dv .git]$ grep [sk]1 config 
[s1]
        k1 = v1\nv2

Note that quoting doesn't solve this problem (unless multi-line section
headers are allowed), but backslash escaping does.

But I guess everybody prefers quotes for their friendly look.

Junio,

Sorry I see what you're driving at; how does a program break the section
name into it's constituent pieces.  I glossed over this issue because
it's exactly the same between Linus' proposal and mine.   The answer is,
they really can't, with either proposal.

All you can count on (by convention) is that there is an initial segment
that is terminated by a period; and a final segment that starts with a
period, and everything in between is an opaque unit.

    section.<random string>.keyname   value

Although the initial "section." isn't currently enforced (but easily
could be).  Actually i didn't yank out the bit from config.c that
validates the keyname, so without an additional patch the only way
to enter the extended names is by manual editing of the .git/config.

The same way they do now.  For instance git-repo-config processes
the config file using the same get_config() + callback as usual.  The
only issue is that they should no longer cast everything to lower first.

Also fixes similar issues in cg-admin-rewritehist and turn "set -e" on
there.

* [PATCH 2/2] Catch history inconsistency in cg-admin-rewritehist.
From: Yann Dirson @ 2006-05-09 22:32 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Petr Baudis; +Cc: git
In-Reply-To: <20060509222738.20814.57282.stgit@gandelf.nowhere.earth>


This assertion is triggered by a bug in "cg-object-id -p", which
ignores grafts, when we attempt to rewrite a grafted commit whose
original parent does not get rewritten.

Dying here prevents to leave the user with a corrupted rewriten history.

* [PATCH 0/2] Support for "set -e" in cogito script, and assertion in rewritehist
From: Yann Dirson @ 2006-05-09 22:27 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Petr Baudis; +Cc: git

The first patch is an updated version of the one posted on Apr 17th, which makes
cg-Xlib compatible with "set -e" for safer scripts, and converts cg-admin-rewritehist
to "set -e" mode.  The second ones makes the latter robust on one backquoted command,
for which "set -e" is not sufficient.  Let the devil bring shell programming into hell,
asap.

Linus,

I really tried to like your patch ;o)  But it breaks the repo-config command
line and causes mixing of some branches using old style [branch.xyz] and new
style [branch "XYZ"] which just doesn't seem to be the right thing to do.

The following patch produced for sake of discussion just allows section
headers to contain whatever characters are needed to get the job done.

git-repo-config works properly with no further need of change.  Section
headers become case sensitive but key identifiers within sections do not.
AFAIK there should be no backward compatibility issues with regard to
case sensitivity.  All tests pass after having been fixed up to remove
the assumption that section names are case insensitive.

The syntax is:

  [<random string>]

Here's how your example would look in this style:

  [email.torvalds@osdl.org]
        name = Linus Torvalds

And there's no strange syntax needed with repo-config to set and get it:

  $ git repo-config email.torvalds@osdl.org.name
  Linus Torvalds

and just to show that key names are still case insensitive:

  $ git repo-config email.torvalds@osdl.org.NAME
  Linus Torvalds

Setting new sections is unambiguous from the command line and
doesn't have to decide whether to use the [branch "<string>"] or
[branch.section.name] format.

  $ git repo-config branch.branch.x y
  $ git repo-config branch.WonkKY.x y
  $ git repo-config --get-regexp branch.\*
  branch.branch.x y
  branch.WonkKY.x y

  [email.torvalds@osdl.org]
        name = Linus Torvalds
  [branch.branch]
        x = y
  [branch.WonkKY]
        x = y

* [BUG] "cg-object-id -p" ignore grafts, breaks cg-admin-rewritehist
From: Yann Dirson @ 2006-05-09 22:25 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: GIT list; +Cc: Petr Baudis


Currently (cogito 0.17.2), using "cg-object-id -p" to lookup a
commit's parents fetches information directly from the commit object
through "git-cat-file commit".  This causes all its callers to ignore
any grafts, and probably causes various problems.  The one I stumbled
upon is an inconstency in the data seen by cg-admin-rewritehist, when
a graft is used to replace the single parent of a commit with another
single parent - tentative recovery of a tarball import done on a wrong
branch, in the hope that cg-admin-rewritehist would allow to fix the
history as defined by the graft.

In that case, after identifying the commits to rewrite through legal
means, rewritehist attempts to lookup the parents for each of those
original commits and map them to already-rewritten ones, but
cg-object-id returns the pre-graft parent, which was not to be
rewritten, and the tool fails (miserably with an invalid rewritten
branch, as the exception is not caught).

A patch follows (depending on an updated "set -e" patch for
rewritehist) to have rewritehist at least abort in error when it can
identify such an inconsistency.

What should cg-object-id use to lookup parent information in a sane
way that does not ignore grafts ?

Oh, I thought parameters would use same syntax for short and long
options.  For optional args -C2 would make sense but -C 2 would be
ambiguous ("-C -- 2" or "-C2"?).  Maybe I'm just too drunk to
understand.

Didn't I just say -x=y where x is a single letter _is_ odd?
It is either -xy or -x y, not -x=y.

OK, if we don't support bundling flags at all then -x=y and -xy would do
the same thing and pickaxe's -Stext would work too.  But we could not
make option flag parsing global then (-S=value -> search "=value" or
"value"?).

Maybe we should just change -Stext to -S=text or -S text.

Better to support only -x=y or -x y, not both.

Actually, optional numeric arguments are the norm not exception.
Think of "diff -u" vs "diff -u20" for example.  Also I think it
is conventional not to use = for single-letter single-dash
options, so -C (no args -- use the default number of the
implementation whatever it is) and -C20 (the same behaviour in
principle as -C, but use my number instead of the default) are
sane, while -C=20 _is_ odd.

Having said that, I think abbreviating -u20 -n -r to -u20nr
going too far (-nru20 would be palatable perhaps), even if the
implementation allows such, unless you are entering "obfusucated
command line parameters" contest.

Sorry, there is no elegance to it as far as I can see.  A macro
invocation that creates a private function while it does not
look like a function definition is already bad, you cannot have
a comma in the stmt part, and the bare semicolons in the
parenthesised text look insane.

If your patch were like this, it would have been a bit easier
for me to understand what was going on during my first pass:

    static struct exec_args *ui_optparse
            (struct opt_spec *s, int ac, char **av, int *ac_p, int what)
    {
            struct exec_args *ea = one_arg(s, ac, av, ac_p);
            if (!ea) return NULL;
            switch (what) {
            case IGNORE_MISSING:
                    not_new = 1; break;
            case VERBOSE:
                    verbose = 1; break;
            case HELP:
                    usage(update_index_usage); break;
            }
            return nil_exec_args(ea);
    }

instead of

    gitopt_eat(opt_ignore_missing, not_new = 1;)
    gitopt_eat(opt_verbose, verbose = 1;)
    gitopt_eat(opt_h, usage(update_index_usage);)

Then, you would give an extra element in the table, and your
argument parsing/splitting routine passes that one to the
handler function:

    static const struct opt_spec update_index_ost[] = {
    ...
    { "ignore-missing", 0,	0, 0, ui_optparse, IGNORE_MISSING },
    { "verbose",	    0,	0, 0, ui_optparse, VERBOSE },
    { "help",	   'h',	0, 0, ui_optparse, HELP },
    { 0, 0 }

Another thing is I do not think we would want to make the
argument parsing into callback style interface like you did.  It
actively encourages the option variables to be global (you could
make it file scoped static but they are global nevertheless).
If you can make it an iterator style, it would be a lot easier
to see what is going on, I suspect.  Then you would not even
need the callback function pointers and small functions created
by magic eat() macros.

Lightly tested here.  Looks good.

I think optional arguments are still confusing.  We could support both
-C (no args) and -C=20 syntax.

Some other options use -x=y syntax so this would be confusing. Pickaxe's
-Stext syntax is a bit strange.  I think -S text or -S=text would be
more logical.

I wasn't overly happy with the addition of global variables to existing
files and the way they're set (setup_revisions).  But at least they're
static.  Of course, I'm not yet certain that I haven't introduced new
bugs.  All the tests pass, at least...

> And scary, especially the "eat" macros are very scary.

They look weird at first, but I think they help readability and
maintainability once you get used to them.  They let you focus on the
important part of the function while hiding the boring parts from you.
Quite elegant, imho.
