The problem:
Mac OS X may manipulate file names containing unicode on file systems
HFS+, VFAT or SAMBA.
When a file using unicode code points outside ASCII is created on a HFS+ drive,
the file name is converted into decomposed unicode and written to disk.
No conversion is done if the file name is already decomposed unicode.
Calling open("\xc3\x84", ...) whith a precomposed "Ä" yields the same
result as open("\x41\xcc\x88",...) with a decomposed "Ä".
This precomposition is done for all file system calls like
creat(), open(), fopen(), stat/lstat() etc.
The result is that readdir() will return the file names in decomposed unicode,
even if the user expects precomposed unicode.
In opposite to HFS+ stores Mac OS X files on a VFAT drive (e.g. an USB drive),
in precomposed unicode, but readdir() returns file names in decomposed unicode.
When a git repository is stored on a network share using SAMBA, file names are
send over the wire and written to disk on the remote system in precomposed
unicode.
To be compatible with HFS+ and VFAT returns Mac OS X readdir()
decomposed unicode.
NFS mounted from Linux is fully transparent and does not need all this.
Summary:
filenames which are unicode equivalent in their precomposed or decomposed
form are folded onto the same file system object.
Calling readdir() returns always the decomposed form.
The unicode decomposition creates some problems:
- "git add" needs the decomposed form on the command line,
so that the file name is picked up when readdir() is called
to build a list of files on disk.
- The decomposed form is not (easily) available on the keyboard.
To work around this, a wildcard could be used in "git add":
Instead of using "git add Märchen.txt" the user needs to enter
"git add M*rchen", "git add M<TAB>" or "git add *".
- "git log", "git mv" and all other commands needs the decomposed form
to find the file name which is stored as decomposed in the index.
- The file names are stored in decomposed unicode in the index, but
precomposed on disk.
This makes it impossible to use this repository under e.g.
Linux or Windows:
All files appear to be deleted in the decomposed form and
untracked in the precomposed form.
Knowing that Mac OS X writes file names as precomposed to disk,
and treats precomposed and decomposed file names as equal, git under Mac OS X
can be improved to revert the unicode decomposition of file names.
A new confguration variable is added: "core.precomposedunicode"
If set to false, git behaves exactly as older versions of git.
When a new git version is installed and there is a repository
where the configuration "core.precomposedunicode" is not present,
the new git is backward compatible.
If set to true, git allows forces the index to only use precomposed unicode.
The code in compat/precomposed_utf8.c implements basically 4 new functions:
precomposed_utf8_opendir(), precomposed_utf8_readdir(),
precomposed_utf8_closedir() precompose_argv()
As theere are only precomposed unicode file names in the index,
and precomposed and decomposed are treated as equal by the OS,
all arguments into git (argv[1]..argv[n]) are converted into
precomposed unicode.
This is done in parse-options.c by calling precompose_argv().
This function is actually a #define, and it is only defined under Mac OS.
Nothing is converted on any other OS.
The argv[] conversion allows to use the TAB filename completion done by the
shell on command line.
It tolerates other tools which use readdir() to feed decomposed file names
into git.
Auto sensing:
When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone",
"core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false".
The user needs to activate this feature manually.
She typically sets core.precomposedunicode to "true" on HFS and VFAT,
or file systems mounted via SAMBA onto a Linux box.
