[PATCH 1/1] attr: enable attr pathspec magic for git-add and git-stash

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

 



This lets users limit files or exclude files based on file
attributes during git-add and git-stash.
For example, the chromium project would like to use this like
"git add --all ':(exclude,attr:submodule)'", as submodules are managed in a
unique way and often results in submodule changes that users do not want in
their commits.

This does not change any attr magic implementation. It is only adding
attr as an allowed pathspec in git-add and git-stash, which was previously
blocked by GUARD_PATHSPEC and a pathspec mask in parse_pathspec()).
However, this does fix a bug in prefix_magic() where attr values were unintentionally removed.
This was hit whenever parse_pathspec() is called with PATHSPEC_PREFIX_ORIGIN as a flag,
which was the case for git-stash.
(But originally filed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAMmZTi-0QKtj7Q=sbC5qhipGsQxJFOY-Qkk1jfkRYwfF5FcUVg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/)

Furthermore, while other commands hit this code path it did not result in unexpected
behavior because this bug only impacts the pathspec->items->original field which is
NOT used to filter paths. However, git-stash does use pathspec->items->original when
building args used to call other git commands.
(See add_pathspecs() usage and implementation in stash.c)

It is possible that when the attr pathspec feature was first added in
b0db704652 (pathspec: allow querying for attributes, 2017-03-13),
"PATHSPEC_ATTR" was just unintentionally left out of a few GUARD_PATHSPEC() invocations.

Later, to get a more user-friendly error message when attr was used with git-add,
PATHSPEC_ATTR was added as a mask to git-add's invocation of parse_pathspec()
84d938b732 (add: do not accept pathspec magic 'attr', 2018-09-18).
However, this user-friendly error message was never added for git-stash.

No sorry, we can only assume this if there was element magic detected
by parse_element_magic(). So if element magic is not 0, we know the body
is in the expected form (either long or short).
I have added comments and a check for magic to guard against this.

While there are other commands that go through the prefix_magic path (like `git-add -i`),
AFAICT they are not actually impacted by the bug. The bug only impacts the value of
pathspec->items->original which is not used during pathspec matching. But git-stash
uses `original` to pass in as args to other commands it calls. I've included this
detail in the description above.

Thanks for spotting. fixed.
