[PATCH 2/3] git-am: Add command line parameter `--keep-cr` passing it to git-mailsplit.

[Stefan-W. Hahn]

The behaviour of git-mailsplit, which is called from git-am for
patches in mbox format, has been changed in commit c2ca1d79. The new
default behaviour will remove `\r` from line endings with `\r\n`.

If applying patches with the following command sequence

   git format-patch --stdout ... | git am ...

in repositories having files with dos and unix line endings,
git-mailsplit must be called with `--keep-cr` parameter.

This patch adds the command line parameter `--keep-cr` for git-am and
the configuration `am.keepcr`.

[PATCHv3 0/3] Using git-mailsplit in mixed line ending environment

[Stefan-W. Hahn]

Hello,

I'm using git in environments with files having dos or unix line
ending. I apply patches using 'git format-patch ... | git am ...'.
A change in git-mailsplit in commit c2ca1d79 introduced a change in
the default behaviour of git-mailsplit when splitting mbox patches. It
makes dos line endings to unix line endings. With this behaviour it is
impossible to apply patches.

The following patches introduce the '--kepp-cr' parameter to git-am an
an additional possibility to set '--keep-cr' via configuration for
git-am. Also I added missing description for '--keep-cr' of
git-mailsplit.

Second round:
I changed 'mailsplit.keep-cr' to 'mailsplit.keepcr' as suggested by Jakub
and comment in the testcase.

Third round:
I moved configuration 'mailsplit.keepcr' to 'am.keepcr' because
git-mailsplit can be used outside a git repository (thx Junio).

Stefan

Re: [PATCH 2/3] git-am: Add command line parameter `--keep-cr` passing it to git-mailsplit.

This might offend people who caused c2ca1d7 (Allow mailsplit (and hence
git-am) to handle mails with CRLF line-endings, 2009-08-04) to come into
existence in the first place, as their argument was that "git am" not
reading from the output from their MUA's save-as (Thunderbird I think it
was but I may be mistaken) was a _bug_.  I personally didn't like that
bugfix very much and we could have added --strip-cr to help them back
then, but that is not what happened.

Perhaps this would be a more agreeable description of the backstory?

    c2ca1d7 (Allow mailsplit (and hence git-am) to handle mails with CRLF
    line-endings, 2009-08-04) fixed "git mailsplit" to help people with
    MUA whose output from save-as command uses CRLF as line terminators by
    stripping CR at the end of lines.

    However, when you know you are feeding output from "git format-patch"
    directly to "git am", and especially when your contents have CR at the
    end of line, such stripping is undesirable.  To help such a use case,
    teach --keep-cr option to "git am" and pass that to "git mailinfo".

> This patch adds the command line parameter `--keep-cr` for git-am and
> the configuration `am.keepcr`.

If one sets am.keepcr (because he regularly runs format-patch piped to am
by hand), but occasionally wants to apply an e-mailed patch out of his MUA
that happens to write things out with CRLF, how would one do so, without
touching the configuration (and not forgetting to revert the change after
doing so)?

As a general rule, if you introduce a new configuration, you need to make
sure that the configuration can be overriden per invocation if necessary,
and it is usually done from the command line, i.e. "--no-keep-cr".

I have to warn you that it would be a lot more work that needs careful
thinking than adding a command line option alone, so you may want to split
this [PATCH 2/3] into two, one to add command line option, and the other
to add configuration.

Hence you would need something like:

    s/$/  Can be overriden by giving --no-keep-cr from the command line./

Also Documentation/git-am.txt would need something like:

--keep-cr::
--no-keep-cr::

Also you may have to set keepcr to --no-keep-cr or something (I won't do
the necessary thinking for you while writing this message), to deal with a
case where:

 - The user has am.keepcr set to true;

 - This particular invocation was made with --no-keep-cr from the command
   line;

 - It stopped due to unappliable patch in the series and $dotest/keepcr
   became empty;

 - The user dealt with the stoppage and restarted the command; we read
   empty from $dotest/keepcr.

If I am reading your patch correctly, I think the restarted command will
use keepcr=t that was set by reading from the configuration at the
beginning?

This should be 100755, if this need to be a new separate test.

These seem to be mailsplit test; are they necessary?  mailsplit is an
internal implementation detail of am, and we might later want to change
what it does as long as the change does not affect what the calling am
ends up doing, but even with benign change the above two test would fail.

If a long line bothers you, you can split the line at pipe like this:

	git format-patch -k --stdout start..master |
	git am --keep-cr -k -3 &&

Because the shell knows that you haven't finished your sentence yet when
it sees the pipe at the end of line, you do not need a backslash at the
end (the same goes for the && at the end).

> +        git diff master

"git diff" by default does not report presense or absense of difference
with its exit code.  A traditional way to check this is

	test -z "$(git diff master)"

You can choose to use a more modern

	git diff --exit-code master

Two tests are lacking.

 - test that "git am" fails without --keep-cr nor configuration when fed a
   history with CRLF.

 - test that "am.keepcr" can be countermanded per "git am" invocation;

Also I think t4252 needs to be taught about this new option, as I think
you would want the second ('please continue') invocation in this sequence

	$ git am --keep-cr mbox
        ... oops, one does not apply
        ... goes to fix
        $ git am

to keep your CR in the payload.

[PATCHv4 0/4] Using git-mailsplit in mixed line ending environment

[Stefan-W. Hahn]

Hello,

I'm using git in environments with files having dos or unix line
ending. I apply patches using 'git format-patch ... | git am ...'.
A change in git-mailsplit in commit c2ca1d79 introduced a change in
the default behaviour of git-mailsplit when splitting mbox patches. It
makes dos line endings to unix line endings. With this behaviour it is
impossible to apply patches.

The following patches introduce the '--kepp-cr', '--no-keep-cr'
parameter to git-am an an additional possibility to set '--keep-cr'
via configuration for git-am. Also I added missing description for
'--keep-cr' of git-mailsplit.

Second round:
I changed 'mailsplit.keep-cr' to 'mailsplit.keepcr' as suggested by Jakub
and comment in the testcase.

Third round:
I moved configuration 'mailsplit.keepcr' to 'am.keepcr' because
git-mailsplit can be used outside a git repository (thx Junio).

Fourth round:
I considered the replies from Junio and split up the patch introducing 
configuration am.keepcr in two. I introduced an '--no-keep-cr' to overwrite
configuration. I removed git-mailsplit tests from the test suite, they only 
showed the behaviour when using dos line ending.
I added some tests to show the correct behaviour in different situations
using the new parameters and configuration.

[PATCH 2/4] git-am: Add command line parameter `--keep-cr` passing it to git-mailsplit.

[Stefan-W. Hahn]

c2ca1d7 (Allow mailsplit (and hence git-am) to handle mails with CRLF
line-endings, 2009-08-04) fixed "git mailsplit" to help people with
MUA whose output from save-as command uses CRLF as line terminators by
stripping CR at the end of lines.

However, when you know you are feeding output from "git format-patch"
directly to "git am", and especially when your contents have CR at the
end of line, such stripping is undesirable.  To help such a use case,
teach --keep-cr option to "git am" and pass that to "git mailinfo".
