Re: [PATCH] Don't display crlf warning twice

Dimitry,
Thanks for finding the code path that leads to double printing
the warning.

Your traces reveal that it is a racy condition that can trigger
the double warnings.  In my test cases this apparently does not
happen, at least not on my machine.

Do you have a test case that reliably triggers the second call to
convert_to_git()?

'git add' could call crlf_to_git() twice, and this caused that the same crlf warning being display twice. The first time crlf_to_git() is called
when a file is added to index, and it could be called the second time
during writing the index.

This patches sets safe_crlf to false before the second call.

This would certainly work.

However I do not think it is the right place to fix ...

I mentioned earlier that crlf_to_git() would be called twice. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this behaviour and are not even sure if it ever happend.

I think I have found the cause. It can be seen from the following trace:

==============
#0 crlf_to_git (path=0x814b37e "a", src=0xb7fb4000 "Hello\r\nHello \r\nHello\n", len=20, buf=0xbfad504c, action=-1) at convert.c:89 #1 0x080e0454 in convert_to_git (path=0x814b37e "a", src=0xb7fb4000 "Hello\r\nHello\r\nHello\n", len=20, dst=0xbfad504c) at convert.c:578 #2 0x080b7194 in index_fd (sha1=0xbfad508c "", fd=7, st=0xbfad50d8, write_object=0, type=OBJ_BLOB, path=0x814b37e "a") at sha1_file.c:2345

Here, index_fd() is called with write_object=0 ...

while here index_fd() is called with write_object=1.

Without digging deeply through the code, this looks to me as if
we could base our decision wether to print a warning or not on
this difference.

My first take is: we should print a warning if write_object=1
and should be quiet if write_object=0.  The flag can easily be
passed to convert_to_git().

My assumption is that users would only be interested in the
warning if data is really written to the repository (and that
this is the meaning of write_object=1).  But maybe there are
cases where a warning is also appropriate even if the data
is not written?  I don't now.

Another question is if we should die() even if write_object=0;
or only if write_object=1?
