Re: [PATCH 4/4] git-ack: record an ack

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

 



Hi Michael,

I have some inline comments below. Also, some parts of the patch do not
adhere to the style rules

 - tabs for indentation
 - $(...) for command substitution
 - no space after redirection operators
 - double-quotes around redirection targets

for shell scripts (from the file `Documentation/CodingGuidelines`).

If I am not mistaken, the exit code of `git-diff(1)` doesn't change
according to whether there are differences or not, unless the option
`--exit-code` is given.

Is it correct that this is a do-nothing operation? Is that a common
idiom? I found the null command (`:`, colon) to be used in many places
instead.

This seems incorrect to me. If `GIT_DIR` is already set, it might point
to an absolute path and not `.git`. If the environment variable is not
set, the state file `ACKS` ends up in the working directory.

Maybe `git-sh-setup(1)` can be of help. It uses

    git rev-parse --git-dir

to probe the path to the .git directory.

The restore flag seems to be missing from this list of declarations.
