Simplify the parsing of "grep.patternType" and "grep.extendedRegexp". This changes no behavior, but gets rid of complex parsing logic that isn't needed anymore. When "grep.patternType" was introduced in84befcd0a4(grep: add a grep.patternType configuration setting, 2012-08-03) we promised that: 1. You can set "grep.patternType", and "[setting it to] 'default' will return to the default matching behavior". In that context "the default" meant whatever the configuration system specified before that change, i.e. via grep.extendedRegexp. 2. We'd support the existing "grep.extendedRegexp" option, but ignore it when the new "grep.patternType" option is set. We said we'd only ignore the older "grep.extendedRegexp" option "when the `grep.patternType` option is set to a value other than 'default'". In a preceding commit we changed grep_config() to be called after grep_init(), which means that much of the complexity here can go away. As before both "grep.patternType" and "grep.extendedRegexp" are last-one-wins variable, with "grep.extendedRegexp" yielding to "grep.patternType", except when "grep.patternType=default". Note that as the previously added tests indicate this cannot be done on-the-fly as we see the config variables, without introducing more state keeping. I.e. if we see: -c grep.extendedRegexp=false -c grep.patternType=default -c extendedRegexp=true We need to select ERE, since grep.patternType=default unselects that variable, which normally has higher precedence, but we also need to select BRE in cases of: -c grep.extendedRegexp=true \ -c grep.extendedRegexp=false Which would not be the case for this, which select ERE: -c grep.patternType=extended \ -c grep.extendedRegexp=false Therefore we cannot do this on-the-fly in grep_config without also introducing tracking variables for not only the pattern type, but what the source of that pattern type was. So we need to decide on the pattern after our config was fully parsed. Let's do that by deferring the decision on the pattern type until it's time to compile it in compile_regexp(). By that time we've not only parsed the config, but also handled the command-line options. Those will set "opt.pattern_type_option" (*not* "opt.extended_regexp_option"!). At that point all we need to do is see if "grep.patternType" was UNSPECIFIED in the end (including an explicit "=default"), if so we'll use the "grep.extendedRegexp" configuration, if any. See my07a3d41173(grep: remove regflags from the public grep_opt API, 2017-06-29) for addition of the two comments being removed here, i.e. the complexity noted in that commit is now going away. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/patch-v8-09.10-c211bb0c69d-20220118T155211Z-avarab@gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
