[PATCH v2 4/5] patch-id: rewrite code that detects the beginning of a patch

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

 



The get_one_patchid() function reads input lines until it finds a
patch header (the line that begins a patch), whose beginning is one
of:

 (1) an "<object name>", which is what "git diff-tree --stdin" shows;
 (2) "commit <object name>", which is what "git log" shows; or
 (3) "From <object name>",  which is what "git log --format=email" shows.

When it finds such a line, it returns to the caller, reporting the
<object name> it found, and the size of the "patch" it processed.

The caller then calls the function again, which then ignores the
commit log message, and then processes the lines in the patch part
until it hits another "beginning of a patch".

The above logic was fairly easy to see until 2bb73ae8 (patch-id: use
starts_with() and skip_prefix(), 2016-05-28) reorganized the code,
which made another logic that has nothing to do with the "where does
the next patch begin?" logic, which came from 2485eab5
(git-patch-id: do not trip over "no newline" markers, 2011-02-17)
that ignores the "\ No newline at the end", rolled into the same
single if() statement.

Let's split it out.  The "\ No newline at the end" marker is part of
the patch, should not appear before we start reading the patch part,
and does not belong to the detection of patch header.
