The prefix_filename() function returns a pointer to static storage, which makes it easy to use dangerously. We already fixed one buggy caller in hash-object recently, and the calls in apply.c are suspicious (I didn't dig in enough to confirm that there is a bug, but we call the function once in apply_all_patches() and then again indirectly from parse_chunk()). Let's make it harder to get wrong by allocating the return value. For simplicity, we'll do this even when the prefix is empty (and we could just return the original file pointer). That will cause us to allocate sometimes when we wouldn't otherwise need to, but this function isn't called in performance critical code-paths (and it already _might_ allocate on any given call, so a caller that cares about performance is questionable anyway). The downside is that the callers need to remember to free() the result to avoid leaking. Most of them already used xstrdup() on the result, so we know they are OK. The remainder have been converted to use free() as appropriate. I considered retaining a prefix_filename_unsafe() for cases where we know the static lifetime is OK (and handling the cleanup is awkward). This is only a handful of cases, though, and it's not worth the mental energy in worrying about whether the "unsafe" variant is OK to use in any situation.

This function takes the prefix as a ptr/len pair, but in every caller the length is exactly strlen(ptr). Let's simplify the interface and just take the string. This saves callers specifying it (and in some cases handling a NULL prefix). In a handful of cases we had the length already without calling strlen, so this is technically slower. But it's not likely to matter (after all, if the prefix is non-empty we'll allocate and copy it into a buffer anyway).

The hash-object command uses prefix_filename() without duplicating its return value. Since that function returns a static buffer, the value is overwritten by subsequent calls. This can cause incorrect results when we use --path along with hashing a file by its relative path, both of which need to call prefix_filename(). We overwrite the filename computed for --path, effectively ignoring it. We can fix this by calling xstrdup on the return value. Note that we don't bother freeing the "vpath" instance, as it remains valid until the program exit. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
When "hash-object" is run without "-w", we don't need to be in a git repository at all; we can just hash the object and write its sha1 to stdout. However, if we _are_ in a git repository, we would want to know that so we can follow the normal rules for respecting config, .gitattributes, etc. This happens to work at the top-level of a git repository because we blindly read ".git/config", but as the included test shows, it does not work when you are in a subdirectory. The solution is to just do a "gentle" setup in this case. We already take care to use prefix_filename() on any filename arguments we get (to handle the "-w" case), so we don't need to do anything extra to handle the side effects of repo setup. An alternative would be to specify RUN_SETUP_GENTLY for this command in git.c, and then die if "-w" is set but we are not in a repository. However, the error messages generated at the time of setup_git_directory() are more detailed, so it's better to find out which mode we are in, and then call the appropriate function.

Various clean-ups to the command line option parsing. * jk/options-cleanup: apply, ls-files: simplify "-z" parsing checkout-index: disallow "--no-stage" option checkout-index: handle "--no-index" option checkout-index: handle "--no-prefix" option checkout-index: simplify "-z" option parsing give "nbuf" strbuf a more meaningful name
It's a common pattern in our code to read paths from stdin, separated either by newlines or NULs, and unquote as necessary. In each of these five cases we use "nbuf" to temporarily store the unquoted value. Let's give it the more meaningful name "unquoted", which makes it easier to understand the purpose of the variable. While we're at it, let's also static-initialize all of our strbufs. It's not wrong to call strbuf_init, but it increases the cognitive load on the reader, who might wonder "do we sometimes avoid initializing them? why?".

The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as
the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these
codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL
and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long
time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged.
By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a
good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read
either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and
then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter.
This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(),
namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and
mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of
them. The changes contained in this patch are:
* introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch]
* mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with
either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the
respective thin wrapper.
After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would
become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make
this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take
over the shorter name strbuf_getline().

The synopsys text and the usage string of subcommands that read list of things from the standard input are often shown like this: git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes> This is problematic in a number of ways: * The way to use these commands is more often to feed them the output from another command, not feed them from a file. * Manual pages outside Git, commands that operate on the data read from the standard input, e.g "sort", "grep", "sed", etc., are not described with such a "< redirection-from-file" in their synopsys text. Our doing so introduces inconsistency. * We do not insist on where the output should go, by saying git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes> > <output> * As it is our convention to enclose placeholders inside <braket>, the redirection operator followed by a placeholder filename becomes very hard to read, both in the documentation and in the help text. Let's clean them all up, after making sure that the documentation clearly describes the modes that take information from the standard input and what kind of things are expected on the input.
