[PATCH v3] config: add --comment option to add a comment

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

 



From: Ralph Seichter <github@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce the ability to append comments to modifications
made using git-config. Example usage:

  git config --comment "changed via script" \
    --add safe.directory /home/alice/repo.git

based on the proposed patch, the output produced is:

  [safe]
    directory = /home/alice/repo.git #changed via script

Users need to be able to distinguish between config entries made
using automation and entries made by a human. Automation can add
comments containing a URL pointing to explanations for the change
made, avoiding questions from users as to why their config file
was changed by a third party.

The implementation ensures that a # character is unconditionally
prepended to the provided comment string, and that the comment
text is appended as a suffix to the changed key-value-pair in the
same line of text. Multi-line comments (i.e. comments containing
linefeed) are rejected as errors, causing Git to exit without
making changes.

Comments are aimed at humans who inspect or change their Git
config using a pager or editor. Comments are not meant to be
read or displayed by git-config at a later time.

     +    Users need to be able to distinguish between config entries made

     -    The use case which triggered my submitting this patch is
     -    my need to distinguish between config entries made using
     -    automation and entries made by a human. Automation can
     -    add comments containing a URL pointing to explanations
     -    for the change made, avoiding questions from users as to
     -    why their config file was changed by a third party.
     +    The implementation ensures that a # character is unconditionally
     +    prepended to the provided comment string, and that the comment
     +    text is appended as a suffix to the changed key-value-pair in the
     +    same line of text. Multi-line comments (i.e. comments containing
     +    linefeed) are rejected as errors, causing Git to exit without
     +    making changes.
      
     -    * Design considerations and implementation details:
     -
     -    The implementation ensures that a # character is always
     -    prepended to the provided comment string, and that the
     -    comment text is appended as a suffix to the changed key-
     -    value-pair in the same line of text. Multiline comments
     -    are deliberately not supported, because their usefulness
     -    does not justifiy the possible problems they pose when
     -    it comes to removing ML comments later.
     -
     -    * Target audience:
     -
     -    Regarding the intended consumers of the comments made:
     -    They are aimed at humans who inspect or change their Git
     -    config using a pager or editor. Comments are not meant
     -    to be read or displayed by git-config at a later time.
