Adds --pathspec-from-file option for porcelain commands to avoid commandline
length limit.

So far I implemented it for git commit and git reset, but my goal is to
support other commands as well after these patches are reviewed.

The patches are based on the following discussions:
https://public-inbox.org/git/c3be6eff-365b-96b8-16d2-0528612fc1fc@syntevo.com/T/#u
There, --stdin-paths was suggested.
https://public-inbox.org/git/a38bc928-7ccd-e2d9-b89b-23298e9fa95d@syntevo.com/T/#u
There, --stdin-paths was extended to --paths-file.
https://public-inbox.org/git/pull.133.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/
https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/133Patch from Johannes, I used it
as base of my patch. There, --pathspec-from-file is suggested in discussion.

Major changes compared to patch from Johannes:

1) --pathspec-from-file allows to read file, not just stdin 2) 
--literal-pathspecs should be honored. This is a good improvement because it
keeps --pathspec-from-file much closer to passing args on commandline. Since
the goal of the new option is to avoid commandline length limit, both
behaviors should be close to each other. 3) Patches are designed with all
other git commands in mind

From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com>

This will be used to support the new option '--pathspec-from-file' in
`git add`, `git-commit`, `git reset` etc.

Note also that we specifically handle CR/LF line endings to support
Windows better.

To simplify code, file is first parsed into `argv_array`. This allows
to avoid refactoring `parse_pathspec()`.

I considered adding `nul_term_line` to `flags` instead, but decided
that it doesn't fit there.

The new code is mostly taken from `cmd_update_index()` and
`split_mail_conv()`.

From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com>

This option solves the problem of commandline length limit for UI's
built on top of git. Plumbing commands are not always a good fit, for
two major reasons:
1) Some UI's serve as assistants that help user run git commands. In
   this case, replacing familiar commands with plumbing commands will
   confuse most users.
2) Some UI's have started and grown with porcelain commands. Replacing
   existing logic with plumbing commands could be cumbersome and prone
   to various new problems.

The new option is designed to behave very close to pathspecs passed in
commandline args, so that switching from one to another is simple.

The new option allows to read either a specified file or `stdin`.
Reading from file is a good way to avoid competing for stdin, and
also gives some extra flexibility.

Decisions taken for simplicity:
1) The new option is declared incompatible with other options that
   could use `stdin`.
2) It is not allowed to pass some refspecs in args and others in file.
3) New options do not have shorthands to avoid shorthand conflicts.

Also add new '--pathspec-file-null' switch that mirrors '-z' used in
various places. Some porcelain commands, such as `git commit`, already
use '-z', therefore it needed a new unambiguous name.

Synchronize it to `git add`, which has a pretty good description.
This also better disambiguates <file>... header.

From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com>

This option solves the problem of commandline length limit for UI's
built on top of git. Plumbing commands are not always a good fit, for
two major reasons:
1) Some UI's serve as assistants that help user run git commands. In
   this case, replacing familiar commands with plumbing commands will
   confuse most users.
2) Some UI's have started and grown with porcelain commands. Replacing
   existing logic with plumbing commands could be cumbersome and prone
   to various new problems.

The new option is designed to behave very close to pathspecs passed in
commandline args, so that switching from one to another is simple.

The new option allows to read either a specified file or `stdin`.
Reading from file is a good way to avoid competing for stdin, and
also gives some extra flexibility.

Decisions taken for simplicity:
1) The new option is declared incompatible with other options that
   could use `stdin`.
2) It is not allowed to pass some refspecs in args and others in file.
3) New options do not have shorthands to avoid shorthand conflicts.

Also add new '--pathspec-file-null' switch that mirrors '-z' used in
various places. Some porcelain commands, such as `git commit`, already
use '-z', therefore it needed a new unambiguous name.

Hi Alexandr

Thanks for working on this. I've got a couple of comments about 
improving the error messages but this looks fine to me

Do these align with the 's' in "struct pathspec" ?

Hi Alexandr

This also looks good, I've got some minor comments below. If I'm 
complaining about whitespace and style issues you know the patch is 
quite good!

I think reset is a good example of the second reason - it's not straight 
forward to implement it in plumbing commands

I'm confused reset does not use stdin does it?

As the 'lines' in the file are nul terminated perhaps it would be better 
to call this --pathspec-file-nul or --nul-termination. I think the use 
of --null to mean nul termination for config was a mistake (for grep it 
matches what GUN grep does but it's still unfortunate).

--pathspec-file would be shorter and still conveys the intent of the

As we have a separate synopsis line for --pathspec-from-file which does 
not mention <pathspec> it might be better just to say "read pathspecs 
from `<file>` instead of the command line".

This is sensible as -p is interactive so we wouldn't expect command line

Style nit: the coding guidelines state that if any branch of an if 
statement requires braces then all the branches should be braced. This 
is widely ignored though.

These days we tend to set up the expected files within the relevant test 
case using <<-\EOF to allow indentation and disallow substitution 
(unless it's needed of course)

If I've understood correctly this doesn't test if a path is correctly 
unquoted, only that it is accepted.

One thing I forgot to mention before is that if you're going to add 
these options to a number of commands then maybe it is worth defining a 
macro for each one in parse-options.h. There are a couple of examples of 
this at the end of that file.

It might be worth tailoring the message to the command rather than 
having exactly the same message for commit and reset

I think my comments from patch 3 about <pathspecs> and the option names 
apply here as well

I wonder if there is a way of calling parse_pathspec_file() from 
parse_and_validate_options() instead. Otherwise we end up validating 
options here instead which is a bit messy.

The test comments from patch 3 apply here as well I think.

Overall this series is nicely structured and is looking pretty good

Oh I think I've misunderstood. The '\\' in unquoted by printf, so git 
sees '\101' which is A so that is a real file.

'--pathspec-from-file' was kind of suggested instead of '--paths-file' 
by Junio here:
https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqtv9qr82q.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com/

so Junio added '-from' to previous writing. Hmm. What do you think, 
taking Junio's message into account?

As for whitespaces, sorry, will fix.

In my understanding, 'verify_state expect.a' should test that it's 
correctly understood. Am I wrong?

Good idea.

I thought that whole test package is about '--pathspec-from-file' so I'd 
rather not repeat that in every test name. Shall I change that?

I also was somewhat unhappy about duplication. But I didn't figure how 
to do that correctly. Currently the messages for 'git reset' and 'git 
commit' are almost identical.

Maybe in 2nd commit I should say something like "Extend 
`--pathspec-file-null` support to `git commit` (see previous patch for 
`git reset`)" ?

It is good to show which document to read more on <pathspec>, but
inserting it just before "This means..." breaks the flow of thought.

As we introduce/explain tree-ish and commit used in the synopsis in
the ealier part of the description, it probably is a much better
place to also introduce/explain pathspec, perhaps like so:

	 In the first and second form, ...
	 In the third form,  ...
	 The <tree-ish>/<commit> defaults to HEAD in all forms.
	+The <pathspec> is used to limit the paths affected by the
	+operation in the first two forms (see the entry for
	+'pathspec' in linkgit:gitglossary[7] for more details).

> +This means that `git reset <pathspec>` is the opposite of `git add
> +<pathspec>`. This command is equivalent to
> +`git restore [--source=<tree-ish>] --staged <pathspec>...`.

Any time I see "... X. This means Y." either in the doc or in the
proposed log message, I wish the author (not you in this case,
obviously) thought twice about rewriting so that they do not say one
thing and immediately have to rephrase it, i.e. either just say Y
without saying X, or saying X more clearly without having to say Y.

In this case, however, I think X and Y are related but both relevant.
The subcommand resets the index entries for chosen paths to match
what is in the tree-ish, which is the same as restoring from a tree
to the index.

It is not quite the opposite of adding to the index from the working
tree.  In this sequence:

	$ edit newfile
	$ git add newfile

and then further

	$ edit newfile
	$ git add newfile
	$ git reset -- newfile

we are taken back to the state _before_ any of the changes made to
newfile (in fact, since HEAD does not have newfile, the resulting
index would not know about it, either).

Thanks.

"UI's that serve as assistants that help user run git commands" does
not have to avoid plumbing commands at all.  Only the ones that "show"
the commands that are run on behalf of the users (perhaps so that the
users can learn from such examples?) do, and I think I learned that
it was your motivating use case from an earlier discussion.  Perhaps

	UIs that help users to formulate git commands to run need to

There is not a lot of sympathy for such argument ;-)

Did you mean refspec, not pathspec?

I do not understand this part.  Wouldn't it natural to expect that
"-z", when used with "--pathspec-from-file", tell us that the named
file is NUL delimited collection of records?  What's different about
"--pathspec-file-null" that it is confusing to all it "-z"?

I actually do not mind not having "-z" and using only
"--pathspec-file-null".  A new option with long name that feels
similar to existing "-z" but does sufficiently different things so
that it needs a different name, however, feels counter-productive
for the purpose of using it in the UI that produces commands to be
learned by end-users.

When I invented the terms "pathspec", "refspec", etc. for this
project, I meant them to be collective nouns.  A pathspec is a set
of pathspec elements, each of which is usually given as a separate
argument on the command line.  So "Read pathspec from file" is good
(not "Read pathspecs from file").

And "Pathspec elements" are separated by LF or CR/LF.

A tangent.  Since we do not allow NUL in a pathspec element, we do
not even need the "-z" option.  When we read pathspec from a file,
we can take any of CRLF, LF or NUL as the separator.

Ah, sorry, that would not help very much.  With "-z" we are allowing
to express pathspec elements inside which there are embedded LF or
CR/LF.  Sorry about the noise.

   inside (the first) test_expect_success.

 - No SP between the redirection operator and its source/destination
   filename.

 - Quote end-of-here-document (EOF in the above) if you do not rely
   on parameter interpolation inside the here document; this helps
   readers by telling them that what is presented is used verbatim.

Hmm, wouldn't it be cleaner to use a lightweight tag or something to
keep checkpoint, instead of a variable that is hard to examine when
tests break and needs debugging?

This feeds "fileA.t<NUL>fileB.t" without <NUL> after "fileB.t" to
the command.  Intended?

Rather, perhaps

	printf "%s\0" fileA.t fileB.t

without q-to-nul, once you use printf anyway?

If you truly mean "delimiter" (as opposed to "terminator"),

	printf "fileA.t\0fileB.t"

can also lose " | q_to_nul".

Thanks.

"When files are given on..." is no longer true with this change (it
wasn't true with the code before this change anyway).

	When pathspec is given on the command line, commit the
	contents of the files that match the pathspec without
	recording the changes already added to the index. ...

The second sentence also says "these files", but that can be left
as-is, since it would refer to "the files that match ..." explained
in the above sentence.

I am not sure if we want to repeat this all over the place.

We do not say "For details about the <commit> syntax, see the
'SPECIFYING REVISIONS' section of linkgit:git-rev-parse[1]" for
every command that takes <commit> from the command line.

Is your urge to suggest adding this sentence coming from that you
are much more familiar with <commit> than <pathspec>?  In other
words, if you were more familiar with Git, would you still be adding
this (and not corresponding one for <commit>)?

I think all the comments I made on "reset" with these two options,
both to the proposed log message and to the patch text, applies to
this this step, too, so I won't repeat them.

Thanks for working on this topic.

Adds --pathspec-from-file option for porcelain commands to avoid commandline
length limit.

So far I implemented it for git commit and git reset, but my goal is to
support other commands as well after these patches are reviewed.

The patches are based on the following discussions:
https://public-inbox.org/git/c3be6eff-365b-96b8-16d2-0528612fc1fc@syntevo.com/T/#u
There, --stdin-paths was suggested.
https://public-inbox.org/git/a38bc928-7ccd-e2d9-b89b-23298e9fa95d@syntevo.com/T/#u
There, --stdin-paths was extended to --paths-file.
https://public-inbox.org/git/pull.133.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/
https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/133Patch from Johannes, I used it
as base of my patch. There, --pathspec-from-file is suggested in discussion.

Major changes compared to patch from Johannes:

1) --pathspec-from-file allows to read file, not just stdin

2) --literal-pathspecs should be honored. This is a good improvement because
it keeps --pathspec-from-file much closer to passing args on commandline.
Since the goal of the new option is to avoid commandline length limit, both
behaviors should be close to each other.

3) Patches are designed with all other git commands in mind

Changes from V1: A lot of small changes here and there, in accordance with
review suggestions.

          commit: support the --pathspec-from-file option
      
     -    This option solves the problem of commandline length limit for UI's
     -    built on top of git. Plumbing commands are not always a good fit, for
     -    two major reasons:
     -    1) Some UI's serve as assistants that help user run git commands. In
     -       this case, replacing familiar commands with plumbing commands will
     -       confuse most users.
     -    2) Some UI's have started and grown with porcelain commands. Replacing
     -       existing logic with plumbing commands could be cumbersome and prone
     -       to various new problems.
     -
     -    The new option is designed to behave very close to pathspecs passed in
     -    commandline args, so that switching from one to another is simple.
     -
     -    The new option allows to read either a specified file or `stdin`.
     -    Reading from file is a good way to avoid competing for stdin, and
     -    also gives some extra flexibility.
     -
          Decisions taken for simplicity:
     -    1) The new option is declared incompatible with other options that
     -       could use `stdin`.
     -    2) It is not allowed to pass some refspecs in args and others in file.
     -    3) New options do not have shorthands to avoid shorthand conflicts.
     -
     -    Also add new '--pathspec-file-null' switch that mirrors '-z' used in
     -    various places. Some porcelain commands, such as `git commit`, already
     -    use '-z', therefore it needed a new unambiguous name.
     +    1) For now, `--pathspec-from-file` is declared incompatible with
     +       `--interactive/--patch`, even when <file> is not `stdin`. Such use
     +       case it not really expected. Also, it would require changes to
     +       `interactive_add()`.
     +    2) It is not allowed to pass pathspec in both args and file.

From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com>

Support for various porcelain commands will arrive via additional
patches.

`--pathspec-from-file` solves the problem of commandline length limit
for UIs built on top of git. Plumbing commands are not always a good
fit, for two major reasons:
1) Some UIs show executed commands to user. In this case, porcelain
   commands are expected. One reason for that is letting user learn git
   commands by clicking UI buttons. The other reason is letting user
   study the history of commands in case of any unexpected results. Both
   of these will lose most of their value if UI uses combinations of
   arcane plumbing commands.
2) Some UIs have started and grown with porcelain commands. Replacing
   existing logic with plumbing commands could be cumbersome and prone
   to various new problems.

`--pathspec-from-file` will behave very close to pathspec passed in
commandline args, so that switching from one to another is simple.

`--pathspec-from-file` will read either a specified file or `stdin`
(when file is exactly "-"). Reading from file is a good way to avoid
competing for `stdin`, and also gives some extra flexibility.

`--pathspec-file-nul` switch mirrors `-z` already used in various
places. Some porcelain commands, such as `git commit`, already use
`-z`, therefore it needed a new unambiguous name.

New options do not have shorthands to avoid shorthand conflicts. It is
not expected that they will be typed in console.

From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com>

This will be used to support the new option '--pathspec-from-file' in
`git add`, `git-commit`, `git reset` etc.

Note also that we specifically handle CR/LF line endings to support
Windows better.

To simplify code, file is first parsed into `argv_array`. This allows
to avoid refactoring `parse_pathspec()`.

I considered adding `nul_term_line` to `flags` instead, but decided
that it doesn't fit there.

The new code is mostly taken from `cmd_update_index()` and
`split_mail_conv()`.

From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com>

Decisions taken for simplicity:
1) For now, `--pathspec-from-file` is declared incompatible with
   `--patch`, even when <file> is not `stdin`. Such use case it not
   really expected. Also, it is harder to support in `git commit`, so
   I decided to make it incompatible in all places.
2) It is not allowed to pass pathspec in both args and file.

Synchronize it to `git add`, which has a pretty good description.
This also better disambiguates <file>... header.

From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com>

Decisions taken for simplicity:
1) For now, `--pathspec-from-file` is declared incompatible with
   `--interactive/--patch`, even when <file> is not `stdin`. Such use
   case it not really expected. Also, it would require changes to
   `interactive_add()`.
2) It is not allowed to pass pathspec in both args and file.

Already agreed that test is good, just a bit non-obvious.

I decided not to repeat '--pathspec-from-file' in every test, because 
test package already has it in description. Is that good?

I decided to move the general comment to base commit where options are 
introduced and not repeat it where options are supported.

The code looks a bit too entangled to support that without making it 
worse. The biggest concern I have is that parse_and_validate_options() 
will populate `pathspec` and some other function will need to remember 
to clean it up. I like it better when `pathspec` is handled in one place.

I agree that things are not perfect, but this seems to be a consequence 
of other existing problems. For example, I would have expected a 
structure instead of a handful of global variables. That would have 
solved many problems. However, I didn't have the bravery to dive into 
this refactoring.

I am a bit confused, is it correct that you don't expect me to change my

Let's think that this merely reinforces the first point :)

I didn't want to run into a situation where '-z' suddenly applies to 
multiple things (for example, if later it's decided to allow --patch 
with --pathspec-from-file).

Regarding UI, I think that (insert our UI name here) will not use 
'--pathspec-from-file' unless there are really many files. When it does 
happen, user will probably have an easier time understanding 
'--pathspec-file-nul' then '-z'.

I changed that. However, `git grep pathspecs` is quite interesting. My 
own taste says that "pathspecs" is more expected then "pathspec".

Yes, NUL delimiter allows to avoid escaping.

Tests overwhelmingly prefer escaped form (\EOF) instead, so I used that.

Kind of intended. I changed tests to always use trailing delimiters, and 
also added a new dedicated test without trailing delimiter.

Commit is a well known term, dating from ancient times like CVS or even 
older.

Pathspec, however, is something new. When I pretend to be someone new to 
git, I see it this way:
1) Let's read "git commit" documentation
2) Where on this commandline do I put my filename?!

So yes, I would repeat it in every location that could be popular for 
new users.

I do not know if removal of the only-half-correct "This is the
opposite of add" should be part of this change, or it should be a
separate fix.  The half-wrong sentene was not introduced by this
patch, so leaving it as-is is OK.  It just leaves another thing for
us to think about later.

Thanks.

That's more or less irrelevant.  

I am reacting to this from your change that you omitted quoting in
your reply:

> +For more details about the <pathspec> syntax, see the 'pathspec' entry
> +in linkgit:gitglossary[7].

That sentence is for those who have some notion of <pathspec> but
does not know enough about its syntax.

CVS does not let you specify <commit> like "master^{/^fix frotz}~4";
A user a user who is familiar with CVS's commits would still want to
refer to the section "For details about the <commit> syntax".

I am not advocating to add the reference to SPECIFYING REVISIONS
section; instead we should let readers know that every time they see
<defined word>, they can refer to the glossary for more details.

> Pathspec, however, is something new.

Compared to CVS, everything in Git may be new, but that was a news
in 2010, not this year.

My feeling is that this problem is separate from the topic I'm working 
on. I only touched docs to synchronize <pathspec>, so that I can 
copy&paste new option description in next commit without tailoring it to 
local speech. Also, I must admit that upon reading your explanation, I 
felt that I lack the experience to update the writing properly.

In the perfect world, I would expect _every_ 'pathspec' word in text to 
be an HTML-style link to a dedicated article, not just a paragraph in 
glossary.

MSDN is in general a good example [1]: there, it's easy to read only a 
small portion of article, ignoring anything you're not interested in, 
and still have all links at hand.

Regarding dedicated page: the content of 'pathspec' in glossary is 
already long enough for a page, and it could benefit from additional 
examples. Also, having a dedicated page makes linking easier, so that 
user doesn't have to scroll glossary.

Regarding links: I don't really understand what git's doc format allows. 
Is it just pure text in worst (or even average) case?

If it's usually something with clickable links, it could be worth to 
just insert links everywhere.

If it's usually plaintext, then "see the 'pathspec' entry in 
linkgit:gitglossary[7]" is a bit too verbose to repeat on every 
occasion. Still, I'd like to see links everywhere. One big reason is to 
let reader know that the explanation actually exists!

A compromise solution is to give every article header like this:

     This article uses the following terms which are explained
     in linkgit:gitglossary[7]:
     * pathspec
     * tree-ish
     * refspec

If it's close to top of article, then chances are that everyone will 
notice it. Also, it will not require extra verbosity in plaintext.

I now think that my arguments apply to <pathspec> AND <commit> in the 
same way. Indeed a user can't know complex <commit> variants until 
he/she reads it in git docs.

Yeah, I do think it is cleaner to leave it as a separate issue.

This is not so good.  The original pretended as if <paths> are the
exact pathnames, so it was sort-of OK for it to say "for all paths".
Since we are highlighting the fact that these are not pathnames but
the patterns to match pathnames, however, the description needs a
slight update to match, perhaps like

	ths form resets the index entries for all paths that match
	the `<pathspec>` to their...

Although it is not incorrect, "are not expected to be quoted" feels
a bit weak as the technical description.  Are they not expected to
be quoted, but the command gracefully works on them even when they
are found to be quoted?

Rephrasing to avoid such misinterpretation may be worth doing,
perhaps

	... and are taken as-is without unquoting (i.e. as if
	`core.quotePath` is set to `false`).

or something like that?

Thanks.

What you added in [PATCH 3/6] (git reset doc) sends a slightly
different message, i.e.

    The <pathspec> is used to limit the paths affected by the operation
    (see the entry for 'pathspec' in linkgit:gitglossary[7] for more details).

and I think that was more appropriate than what we see here.  You
are referring your readers to the glossary entry not just for the
syntax but also the entire concept of <pathspec>.

IOW, it would be needed to drop "syntax" from "about the <pathspec>
syntax" from here to match the update to "git reset" documentation.

Thanks.

From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com>

Support for various porcelain commands will arrive via additional
patches.

`--pathspec-from-file` solves the problem of commandline length limit
for UIs built on top of git. Plumbing commands are not always a good
fit, for two major reasons:
1) Some UIs show executed commands to user. In this case, porcelain
   commands are expected. One reason for that is letting user learn git
   commands by clicking UI buttons. The other reason is letting user
   study the history of commands in case of any unexpected results. Both
   of these will lose most of their value if UI uses combinations of
   arcane plumbing commands.
2) Some UIs have started and grown with porcelain commands. Replacing
   existing logic with plumbing commands could be cumbersome and prone
   to various new problems.

`--pathspec-from-file` will behave very close to pathspec passed in
commandline args, so that switching from one to another is simple.

`--pathspec-from-file` will read either a specified file or `stdin`
(when file is exactly "-"). Reading from file is a good way to avoid
competing for `stdin`, and also gives some extra flexibility.

`--pathspec-file-nul` switch mirrors `-z` already used in various
places. Some porcelain commands, such as `git commit`, already use
`-z`, therefore it needed a new unambiguous name.

New options do not have shorthands to avoid shorthand conflicts. It is
not expected that they will be typed in console.

From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com>

This will be used to support the new option '--pathspec-from-file' in
`git add`, `git-commit`, `git reset` etc.

Note also that we specifically handle CR/LF line endings to support
Windows better.

To simplify code, file is first parsed into `argv_array`. This allows
to avoid refactoring `parse_pathspec()`.

I considered adding `nul_term_line` to `flags` instead, but decided
that it doesn't fit there.

The new code is mostly taken from `cmd_update_index()` and
`split_mail_conv()`.

From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com>

Decisions taken for simplicity:
1) For now, `--pathspec-from-file` is declared incompatible with
   `--patch`, even when <file> is not `stdin`. Such use case it not
   really expected. Also, it is harder to support in `git commit`, so
   I decided to make it incompatible in all places.
2) It is not allowed to pass pathspec in both args and file.

`git add` shows an example of good writing, follow it.
This also better disambiguates <file>... header.

From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com>

Decisions taken for simplicity:
1) For now, `--pathspec-from-file` is declared incompatible with
   `--interactive/--patch`, even when <file> is not `stdin`. Such use
   case it not really expected. Also, it would require changes to
   `interactive_add()`.
2) It is not allowed to pass pathspec in both args and file.

I think that a reference to `core.quotePath` could be confusing here, 
because it doesn't really affect the option. I have reworded it in V3, 
please see if you like it.

Thanks for pointing out!

This has shown me that I didn't synchronize docs enough. I have studied 
docs for other commands and found out that most of them list <pathspec> 
in a separate paragraph under options.

I find it very reasonable, because that's where I would normally expect 
it as a reader, together with other options.

So I adjusted 'git-reset' docs to also list <pathspec> under options.

From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com>

Support for various porcelain commands will arrive via additional
patches.

`--pathspec-from-file` solves the problem of commandline length limit
for UIs built on top of git. Plumbing commands are not always a good
fit, for two major reasons:
1) Some UIs show executed commands to user. In this case, porcelain
   commands are expected. One reason for that is letting user learn git
   commands by clicking UI buttons. The other reason is letting user
   study the history of commands in case of any unexpected results. Both
   of these will lose most of their value if UI uses combinations of
   arcane plumbing commands.
2) Some UIs have started and grown with porcelain commands. Replacing
   existing logic with plumbing commands could be cumbersome and prone
   to various new problems.

`--pathspec-from-file` will behave very close to pathspec passed in
commandline args, so that switching from one to another is simple.

`--pathspec-from-file` will read either a specified file or `stdin`
(when file is exactly "-"). Reading from file is a good way to avoid
competing for `stdin`, and also gives some extra flexibility.

`--pathspec-file-nul` switch mirrors `-z` already used in various
places. Some porcelain commands, such as `git commit`, already use
`-z`, therefore it needed a new unambiguous name.

New options do not have shorthands to avoid shorthand conflicts. It is
not expected that they will be typed in console.

From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com>

This will be used to support the new option '--pathspec-from-file' in
`git add`, `git-commit`, `git reset` etc.

Note also that we specifically handle CR/LF line endings to support
Windows better.

To simplify code, file is first parsed into `argv_array`. This allows
to avoid refactoring `parse_pathspec()`.

I considered adding `nul_term_line` to `flags` instead, but decided
that it doesn't fit there.

The new code is mostly taken from `cmd_update_index()` and
`split_mail_conv()`.

Decisions taken for simplicity:
1) For now, `--pathspec-from-file` is declared incompatible with
   `--patch`, even when <file> is not `stdin`. Such use case it not
   really expected. Also, it is harder to support in `git commit`, so
   I decided to make it incompatible in all places.
2) It is not allowed to pass pathspec in both args and file.

`git add` shows an example of good writing, follow it.
This also better disambiguates <file>... header.

Some code blocks were moved down to be able to test for `pathspec.nr`
in the next patch. Blocks are moved as is without any changes. This
is done as separate patch to reduce the amount of diffs in next patch.

From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com>

Decisions taken for simplicity:
1) For now, `--pathspec-from-file` is declared incompatible with
   `--interactive/--patch/--edit`, even when <file> is not `stdin`.
   Such use case it not really expected. Also, it would require changes
   to `interactive_add()` and `edit_patch()`.
2) It is not allowed to pass pathspec in both args and file.

It was added in [1]. I understand that the duplicate change was not
intentional and comes from an oversight.

Also, in explanation, there was only one section for two synopsis
entries.

Fix both problems by removing duplicate synopsis.

<paths> vs <pathspec> is resolved in next patch.

From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <alexandr.miloslavskiy@syntevo.com>

Decisions taken for simplicity:
1) For now, `--pathspec-from-file` is declared incompatible with
   `--patch`, even when <file> is not `stdin`. Such use case it not
   really expected.
2) It is not allowed to pass pathspec in both args and file.

`you must specify path(s) to restore` block was moved down to be able to
test for `pathspec.nr` instead, because testing for `argc` is no longer
correct.

`git switch` does not support the new options because it doesn't expect
`<pathspec>` arguments.

Let's wait and see they cook enough to graduate to 'master', and
build a separate series on top to teach other commands the option
using the facility introduced by the current series (which is the
first 6 patches you sent here).

Thanks.

My intent is to support more commands, so I was working on other patches 
in the background. Today more patches were ready and I wasn't sure 
whether to submit another topic or continue the old one. After some 
thinking, I decided to continue the old one.

Apparently, I guessed wrong :) Roger: I will wait until the first part 
graduates to 'master', then submit more patches.

Please give me an advice: when the time comes, shall I prepare even more 
patches and submit a massive branch, or shall I submit today's remaining 
patches, then wait again? I imagine that massive branches are scary and 
will deter reviewers?

Well I've split the new patches into its own topic to queue on the
am/pathspec-f-f-checkout branch, that builds directly on top of the
am/pathspec-from-file branch, for now.  I suspect that they may want
to be two topics (i.e. for "add" and for "checkout/restore"), but
I'd like to keep them out of 'next' either way for a while until the
base topic proves to be solid enough.

Scary will probably not be an issue for the follow-up topics around
the pathspec-from-file theme, but a huge topic tends to wear out the
author and the reviewers, inviting trivial bugs that would otherwise
be found easily go unnoticed.

Thanks.

OK, thanks! I will pause for now and wait until existing patches are in 
`master`.

I don't think it's so bad if the pathspec is cleaned up just after it is used, 
the diff below applies on top of your patch - see what you think. The diff 
also adds dies if --all is given with --pathspec-from-file which (together 
with a test) would be worth adding to you series I think.

Yes it is a pain that the builtin functions tend to use a lot of global 
variables rather than a structure.

Unfortunately, your reply came too late, topic was cooking in pu/next 
for a while and merged into master yesterday: c58ae96f.

I understand that your patch consists of two parts:

1) Adding test for --all
------------------------
I must admit that I overlooked that there was a similar test for 
args-based pathspec. I will add this part in my next topic for 
--pathspec-from-file. I expect it to appear in the next day or two. I 
will try to remember to CC you to it.

2) Moving parsing/validation into `parse_and_validate_options()`
------------------------
Again, I agree that having parsing/validation outside is suboptimal.
However, with current code, I find it to be a choice between two evils, 
and my choice was "outside but clear" to "inside but obscure".

What I find obscure in your suggestion/patch is that innocently looking 
`prepare_index()` suddenly clears pathspec as well. It's even harder to 
see when called through `dry_run_commit()`.

Now, let me illustrate. There's a similar case in my TODO list, this 
time involving a real bug in git. In `init_db()`, the bug occurs in 
`set_git_dir(real_path(git_dir))`, also due to unexpected clearing.

Now that I pointed my finger at it, please try to find what's wrong. I 
imagine that it won't be easy at all. And it's way harder when there's 
no reason to dig deep into a very specific line of code.

I really try to avoid such type of pitfalls. That's why my choice 
between two evils is what I did.

Ah I thought it might be a bit late to fix up the patch, there could 
always be a follow patch though.

Thanks, one other thing I forgot to mention yesterday is to ask what the 
expected behavior is if the user passes an empty file to 
--pathspec-from-file. With no pathspecs on the command line commit, 
checkout, reset and restore-files all default to operating on all paths 
but passing --pathspec-from-file implies the user wants to specify 
specific paths so I think it would perhaps be better to error out if no 
paths are given. There is a precedent for this in checkout-index which 
does nothing if no paths are given (though I can't remember if it errors 
out or not).

It would be easy enough to clear pathspec in cmd_commit() I just didn't 
bother to do it.

If I had to hazard a guess I'd say that either set_git_dir() calls 
real_path() which messes up the path passed to it or it does not copy 
the path passed to it and it is messed up by some other code calling 
real_path() after set_git_dir() has returned. If my guess is correct (I 
wouldn't be surprised if it's wrong) I think that's a bit different to 
the pathspec case as it's about the lifetime of the return value of a 
function rather than a function freeing an argument passed to it.

Best Wishes

Phillip

Back when I composed patch for `git commit`, I spent some time thinking 
about this question. I agree that empty `--pathspec-from-file` is weird. 
Eventually I decided that `--pathspec-from-file` shall be as close as 
possible to passing pathspec args. So empty file should behave the same 
way as passing zero pathspec args. It's more or less the question "if 
user does something unexpected, what is expected?". I decided that 
treating as zero args doesn't sound dangerous to me, and it's a very 
weird case anyway, so let's just treat as zero args.

Yes, this thought also came to me after I replied. I agree that this is 
viable and seems to solve most problems.

Now I'm in the situation where before me, code already wasn't perfect, 
and I can continue to extend it in the same direction, or try to 
refactor to make it better. I actually choose the second path: [1][2]. 
These were two "don't" lessons for me, as both topics now gather dust in 
mail graveyard. No good deed remains unpunished, I guess?

Both cases are about lifetime that ends where it was not expected. You 
can probably agree that it never makes code easier to understand, and at 
best it will be properly accounted for and does not explode. Again, both 
choices were somewhat evil.

If nobody commented on your patches, that is not a punishment.  It
could have been that reviewers were busy addressing other issues
back then, in which case a gentle ping by resending a polished
version (it could be that the changes were not presented well to
attract reviewers' attention---polishing the proposed log messages
without changing the patch text might be all it takes to make them
realize that the topic is worth looking at) would help.

I actually was meaning to read and comment on [1], but lack of time
pushed it down in my queue.  Sorry about that.

Thanks for letting me know! This is actually a relief.

I will then merge both topics with my next '--pathspec-from-file' batch, 
because they are all parts of one work. I just thought that since they 
can be submitted separately I should do that, maybe that was a mistake.
