First, the "errstr" handling here is arguably buggy, or at least hard to
read. Before this change we never clobber it if we find an issue, but
after we do. In the end it doesn't really matter, we error on one usage
error or the other, but it does make fore more confusing reading.
The patch-on-top mentioned below turns that into a "goto error".
Secondly, sorry about the semantic merge conflict, but while trying to
fix that issue today I started reviwing this in more depth, and wanted
to ask some questions first:
I don't get why we need to pass the algop around here at all. Why not
handle this like your previous change to e.g. show-index.c where we set
it globally?
Just doing it like that would make your TODO test pass, and we're a
one-shot command here, I see no reason not do do that.
I have a hacky WIP series on top of this which implements that mid-way,
the diff is also at the end of this E-Mail.
For my own re-rolling of my object.c changes I settled on passing a
"type_len" down to hash_literally() et al for reasons I won't go into
here. That would conflict with your in-flight changes (in a way that's
not hard to resolve), but not conflicting at all because we just used a
global repo_set_hash_algo() would be even better.
So here's the messy patches on top:
https://github.com/avar/git/compare/3e8b16d2e70...avar-bc/hash-transition-interop-part-1
The other part of that is to just support "git --object-format=sha256"
instead of needing every command to slowly aquire an --object-format
argument.
That's currently broken in that series for a reason I wanted to ask you
about. I know *why*, but I wonder what the best solution is.
Part how that's dealt with, i.e. if you think this direction of making
"git" take that argument directly, has to do with data in your wetware,
not something in-tree :) I.e. what the future direction is.
I.e. it's broken because we end up calling repo_set_hash_algo() in
several places, first via common-main.c, then with my patch below in
git.c's argument handling, and then via parse_options() and in setup.c,
e.g. hash-object.c's explicit setup_git_directory() call.
As you'll see from the setup_git_directory_gently() call below I had an
attempt to monkeypatch around that by detecting zero'd out structs in
setup_git_directory_gently().
But e.g. ./t5318-commit-graph.sh is still broken because we no longer
pay attention to "git init --object-format=*" since
check_repository_format() and validate_hash_algorithm() end up not only
validating config, but also (re-)setting it.
It seems to me that we need a separation of concerns there, to have the
default in one place, and validation in another. But maybe there's some
more subtle reason for why we're (re-)setting it in that manner, and I
ran out of hacking time today and figured I'd send this E-Mail off at
the end of the day :)
