[PATCH] attr: support quoting pathname patterns in C style

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Full pattern must be quoted. So 'pat"t"ern attr' will give exactly
'pat"t"ern', not 'pattern'.

If Git fails to unquote it, it warns users and takes the pattern
literally. This keeps existing patterns that begin with a double
quotation mark work until they get annoyed by the warnings and fix
their patterns.

Also clarify that leading whitespaces are not part of the pattern and
document comment syntax.

 How about this? No more breaking current setups.
