Commit Message

When applying multiple patches with git am, or when rebasing using the
am backend, it's possible that one of our patches has updated a
gitattributes file. Currently, we cache this information, so if a
file in a subsequent patch has attributes applied, the file will be
written out with the attributes in place as of the time we started the
rebase or am operation, not with the attributes applied by the previous
patch. This problem does not occur when using the -m or -i flags to
rebase.

To ensure we write the correct data into the working tree, expire the
cache after each patch that touches a path ending in ".gitattributes".

Ah. Thanks for a description of the issue.

OK, that seems like a sensible direction...

It's a shame that 'strip_path_suffix' doesn't take a 'char *out', and
accept NULL for that (which would save us the assignment and subsequent
'free'). In either case, this is certainly the appropriate function.

But, I'm not sure if 'dummy' is the best name for this variable or not.
My first thought was that I'd expect this to be named 'suffix' (or the
less descriptive 'p'), but I don't know if the change is warranted.
What *are* we supposed to call this variable?
"path_after_gitattributes" ;-)?

This definitely exercise the behavior here. Thanks for adding a test

I wouldn't be opposed to renaming 'dummy' to be something else, but in
the case that you don't feel a re-roll is necessary, please consider my:

Yeah, I felt the same way. We could refactor this out into two separate
functions, one which returns an ssize_t and one which actually
allocates, but I'm not sure it makes a huge amount of sense with just
one caller. The allocation is relatively small, and I've tried to make
sure it's called exactly once per patch so as not to be wasteful and
inefficient.

I struggled with this variable name, as I'm sure you guessed. I could
call it "has_suffix" or something similar. I have mixed feelings about
naming pointer variables like booleans since it makes things prone to
misreading, but I think that might be the sanest thing to do here. I can
certainly do "p" as well.

I'll see if there are other comments about directions to take here, and
then reroll.

I think you could do this with:

  size_t len;
  if (strip_suffix(patch->new_name, GITATTRIBUTES_FILE, &len) &&
      len > 0 && is_dir_sep(patch->new_name[len-1]))
          flush_attributes = 1;

Not sure if that is better or worse. It avoids the extra memory
boilerplate, but the logic is a slightly more subtle.

I think an approach like that would be fine with a comment. I'm not sure
this exact approach works with -p0, though, so I'll have to tweak it a
bit.

Subtle indeed :) because you have to allow len == 0 to catch the
toplevel .gitattributes file.

But there is an other subtlety here: when I read the commit message
saying "patch that touches a path ending in ".gitattributes"." and saw
the new call to strip_path_suffix(), I immediately thought what would
happen with a file called 'foo.gitattributes'.  Only when I looked
into strip_path_suffix() became it clear that it only removes full
path components, so such a filename won't cause any trouble (though
perhaps the worst thing that could happen is that we unnecessarily
flush the attributes cache).

I'll pretend I was leaving that as a puzzle for the readers. :)

Right. I think the term we want here is really "basename". So in fact:

  if (!strcmp(basename(patch->new_name), GITATTRIBUTES_FILE))

would do what we want, except for the annoying caveat that basename() is
allowed to modify its parameter (to remove trailing directory
separators, but we know we wouldn't have them here).

I think this is exactly the function I'm looking for. I'm a little
uncomfortable relying on the fact that typical implementations don't
modify the string when there's no trailing slash, though.

I think I'm going to end up refactoring out the strip_path_suffix
function into a has_path_suffix and use that. That will avoid the
allocation and it doesn't rely on the generosity of OS implementers.
