[PATCH v2] config: add '--sources' option to print the source of a config value

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

 



From: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@xxxxxxxxx>

If config values are queried using 'git config' (e.g. via '--list' flag
or the '--get*' flags) then it is sometimes hard to find the
configuration file where the values were defined.

Teach 'git config' the '--sources' option to print the source
configuration file for every printed value.

diff to v1:

* add documention
* produce a consistent (tab-delimited) format that can be parsed
* adhere declaration-after-statement style
* prefix every source line with the source type (file, stdin, blob, cmd)
* add relative path test case
* add blob ref test case
* add "git config --local" test case (Note: I think I found a bug there that I
  plan to fix/investigate in a seperate patch. Is it ok to leave the TODO?)
* add a test case to check funny character escapes (file name with tabs)

Sebastian suggested "--show-origin" as a better option name over "--sources".
I still believe "--sources" might be slightly better as I fear that users could
somehow related "origin" to "remote" kind of configs. However, I am happy to
change that if a majority prefers "--show-origin".

Thanks to Peff and Sebastian for the review,
Lars
