[PATCHv3] rev-parse --parseopt: allow [*=?!] in argument hints

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

 



A line in the input to "rev-parse --parseopt" describes an option by
listing a short and/or long name, optional flags [*=?!], argument hint,
and then whitespace and help string.

We did not allow any of the [*=?!] characters in the argument hints.
The following input

    pair=key=value  equals sign in the hint

used to generate a help line like this:

    --pair=key <value>   equals sign in the hint

and used to expect "pair=key" as the argument name.

That is not very helpful as we generally do not want any of the [*=?!]
characters in the argument names.  But we do want to use at least the
equals sign in the argument hints.

Update the parser to make long argument names stop at the first [*=?!]
character.

Add test case with equals sign in the argument hint and updated the test
to perform all the operations in test_expect_success matching the
t/README requirements and allowing commands like

    ./t1502-rev-parse-parseopt.sh --run=1-2

to stop at the test case 2 without any further modification of the test
state area.

Sorry about that %)
I have included add the changes from 'pu' into this patch as well as your
comments.

Fixed.

I thought that if someone is reading only the <arg-hint> part it makes it
easier to understan what can they use.  If one reads description of all of
the pieces it is indeed redundant.

I have removed this hunk from the patch.

Agreed :)

I thought that the fact that it used to parse in reverse is kind of a low
level implementation detail.  And an example that I have inserted instead
makes it easier to understand what the change is about.  After all, the
fact that it used to parse in reverse, I think, is of no real value after
the change is in place.
