[PATCH] log: add log.excludeDecoration config option

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

 



From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In 'git log', the --decorate-refs-exclude option appends a pattern
to a string_list. This list is used to prevent showing some refs
in the decoration output, or even by --simplify-by-decoration.

Users may want to use their refs space to store utility refs that
should not appear in the decoration output. For example, Scalar [1]
runs a background fetch but places the "new" refs inside the
refs/scalar/hidden/<remote>/* refspace instead of refs/<remote>/*
to avoid updating remote refs when the user is not looking. However,
these "hidden" refs appear during regular 'git log' queries.

A similar idea to use "hidden" refs is under consideration for core
Git [2].

Add the 'log.excludeDecoration' config option so users can exclude
some refs from decorations by default instead of needing to use
--decorate-refs-exclude manually. The config value is multi-valued
much like the command-line option.

There are several tests in t4202-log.sh that test the
--decorate-refs-(include|exclude) options, so these are extended.
Since the expected output is already stored as a file, simply add
new calls that replace a "--decorate-refs-exclude" option with an
in-line config setting.

    log: add log.excludeDecoration config option
    
    This was something hinted at in the "fetch" step of the background
    maintenance RFC. Should be a relatively minor addition to our config
    options.
    
    We definitely want this feature for microsoft/git (we would set
    log.excludeDecoration=refs/scalar/* in all Scalar repos), but we will
    wait for feedback from the community.
    
    Thanks, -Stolee
