Change the interaction between "grep.patternType=default" and
"grep.extendedRegexp=true" to make setting "grep.extendedRegexp=true"
synonymous with setting "grep.patternType=extended".
This changes our existing config parsing behavior as detailed below,
but in a way that's consistent with how we parse other
configuration.
Pedantically speaking we're probably breaking past promises here, but
I doubt that this will impact anyone in practice. The reduction in
complexity and resulting consistency with other default config
behavior is worth it.
When "grep.patternType" was introduced in 84befcd0a4a (grep: add a
grep.patternType configuration setting, 2012-08-03) we made two
seemingly contradictory promises:
1. You can set "grep.patternType", and "[setting it to] 'default'
will return to the default matching behavior".
2. Support the existing "grep.extendedRegexp" option, but ignore it
when the new "grep.patternType" is set, *except* "when the
`grep.patternType` option is set. to a value other than 'default'".
I think that 84befcd0a4a probably didn't intend this behavior, but
instead ended up conflating our internal "unspecified" state with a
user's explicit desire to set the configuration back to the
default.
I.e. a user would correctly expect this to keep working:
# ERE grep
git -c grep.extendedRegexp=true grep <pattern>
And likewise for "grep.patternType=default" to take precedence over
the disfavored "grep.extendedRegexp" option, i.e. the usual "last set
wins" semantics.
# BRE grep
git -c grep.extendedRegexp=true -c grep.patternType=basic grep <pattern>
But probably not for this to ignore the new "grep.patternType" option
entirely, say if /etc/gitconfig was still setting
"grep.extendedRegexp", but "~/.gitconfig" used the new
"grep.patternType" (and wanted to use the "default" value):
# Was ERE, now BRE
git -c grep.extendedRegexp=true grep.patternType=default grep <pattern>
I think that in practice nobody or almost nobody is going to be
relying on this obscure interaction, and as shown here it makes the
config parsing much simpler. We no longer have to carry a complex
state machine in "grep_commit_pattern_type()" and
"grep_set_pattern_type_option()".
We can also do away with the "int fixed" and "int pcre2" members in
favor of using "pattern_type_option" directly in "grep.c", as well as
dropping the "pattern_type_arg" variable in "builtin/grep.c" in favor
of using the "pattern_type_option" member directly.
See my 07a3d411739 (grep: remove regflags from the public grep_opt
API, 2017-06-29) for addition of the two comments being removed here,
i.e. the complexity noted in that commit is now going away.
