When we call convert_to_git in dry-run mode, it may still want to look at the source buffer, because some CRLF conversion modes depend on analyzing the source to determine whether it is in fact convertible CRLF text. However, the main motivation for convert_to_git's dry-run mode is that we would decide which method to use to acquire the blob's data (streaming versus in-core). Requiring this source analysis creates a chicken-and-egg problem. We are better off simply guessing that anything we can't analyze will end up needing conversion. This patch lets a caller specify a NULL src buffer when using dry-run mode (and only dry-run mode). A non-zero return value goes from "we would convert" to "we might convert"; a zero return value remains "we would definitely not convert".

By splitting this off, I think it makes it much more obvious if we want to re-visit the pessimism later (e.g., to optimistically assume that missing src buffers should be assumed to be binary if they are large). convert.c | 12 ++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/convert.c b/convert.c index 65fa9d5..aa7f72d 100644 --- a/convert.c +++ b/convert.c @@ -195,9 +195,17 @@ static int crlf_to_git(const char *path, const char *src, size_t len, char *dst; if (crlf_action == CRLF_BINARY || - (crlf_action == CRLF_GUESS && auto_crlf == AUTO_CRLF_FALSE) || !len) + (crlf_action == CRLF_GUESS && auto_crlf == AUTO_CRLF_FALSE) || + (src && !len)) return 0; + /* + * If we are doing a dry-run and have no source buffer, there is + * nothing to analyze; we must assume we would convert. + */ + if (!buf && !src) + return 1; + gather_stats(src, len, &stats); if (crlf_action == CRLF_AUTO || crlf_action == CRLF_GUESS) { @@ -532,7 +540,7 @@ static int ident_to_git(const char *path, const char *src, size_t len, { char *dst, *dollar; - if (!ident || !count_ident(src, len)) + if (!ident || (src && !count_ident(src, len))) return 0; if (!buf) -- 1.7.9.11.gca600 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
