[PATCH v2 2/5] remote: introduce remote.<name>.serverOption configuration

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

 



From: Xing Xin <xingxin.xx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, server options for Git protocol v2 can only be specified via
the command line option "--server-option" or "-o", which is inconvenient
when users want to specify a list of default options to send. Therefore,
we are introducing a new configuration to hold a list of default server
options, akin to the `push.pushOption` configuration for push options.

Initially, I named the new configuration `fetch.serverOption` to align
with `push.pushOption`. However, after discussing with Patrick, it was
renamed to `remote.<name>.serverOption` as suggested, because:

1. Server options are designed to be server-specific, making it more
   logical to use a per-remote configuration.
2. Using "fetch." prefixed configurations in git-clone or git-ls-remote
   seems out of place and inconsistent in design.

The parsing logic for `remote.<name>.serverOption` also relies on
`transport.c:parse_transport_option`, similar to `push.pushOption`, and
they follow the same priority design:

1. Server options set in lower-priority configuration files (e.g.,
   /etc/gitconfig or $HOME/.gitconfig) can be overridden or unset in
   more specific repository configurations using an empty string.
2. Command-line specified server options take precedence over those from
   the configuration.

Server options from configuration are stored to the corresponding
`remote.h:remote` as a new field `server_options`.  The field will be
utilized in the subsequent commit to help initialize the
`server_options` of `transport.h:transport`.

And documentation have been updated accordingly.
