I ended up cleaning this up. Like I said, this isn't something I'm
personally that interested in. But it just seemed like a wart that this
one spot could not handle multi-byte characters that all the cool kids
are using in their prompts etc these days.
Plus it was kind of an interesting puzzle for how to lay out the
refactoring to make each step self-consistent. At the very least, I
think the first couple of cleanups are worth it even if we do not see
the whole thing through. ;)
It obviously nullifies kh/doc-commentchar-is-a-byte, which is in 'next'.
Sadly "git merge" does not find a conflict with the documentation update
in patch 15, so we'll have to remember to pick up one topic or the
other.
I'm using U+00BB as my commentChar for now to see if any bugs show up,
but I expect I'll get sick of it after a few days.
[01/15]: strbuf: simplify comment-handling in add_lines() helper
[02/15]: strbuf: avoid static variables in strbuf_add_commented_lines()
[03/15]: commit: refactor base-case of adjust_comment_line_char()
[04/15]: strbuf: avoid shadowing global comment_line_char name
These four are cleanups that could be taken independently.
[05/15]: environment: store comment_line_char as a string
This one preps us for incrementally moving code over to the new
system.
[06/15]: strbuf: accept a comment string for strbuf_stripspace()
[07/15]: strbuf: accept a comment string for strbuf_commented_addf()
[08/15]: strbuf: accept a comment string for strbuf_add_commented_lines()
[09/15]: prefer comment_line_str to comment_line_char for printing
[10/15]: find multi-byte comment chars in NUL-terminated strings
[11/15]: find multi-byte comment chars in unterminated buffers
[12/15]: sequencer: handle multi-byte comment characters when writing todo list
[13/15]: wt-status: drop custom comment-char stringification
These ones are the actual transition.
[14/15]: environment: drop comment_line_char compatibility macro
[15/15]: config: allow multi-byte core.commentChar
And then we tie it off by dropping the now-unused bits and loosening
the config logic.
