[4/4] clone: allow configurable default for `-o`/`--origin`

Commit Message

Linus Arver via GitGitGadget Sept. 11, 2020, 6:25 p.m. UTC
From: Sean Barag <sean@barag.org>

While the default remote name of "origin" can be changed at clone-time
with `git clone`'s `--origin` option, it was previously not possible
to specify a default value for the name of that remote.  This commit
adds support for a new `clone.defaultRemoteName` config.

It's resolved in the expected priority order:

1. (Highest priority) A remote name passed directly to `git clone -o`
2. A `clone.defaultRemoteName=new_name` in config `git clone -c`
3. A `clone.defaultRemoteName` value set in `/path/to/template/config`,
   where `--template=/path/to/template` is provided
3. A `clone.defaultRemoteName` value set in a non-template config file
4. The default value of `origin`

This patch could have used a prep patch that had all consumers
of option_origin use remote_name instead, with this adjustment
to the way to use option_origin:

Then this patch introducing the config option would have a
very limited change in the builtin consisting of these two
hunks:

Interesting that you moved this test. Probably not necessary, and
just a mistake.

I didn't notice it earlier, but perhaps this subshell should be split
into its own multi-line section as follows:

> +	(

> +		git rev-parse --verify refs/remotes/origin/master

But even better, this is only one line so using
"git -C clone-default-origin rev-parse" is simpler:

This could be done using "git -c clone.defaultRemoteName=from_config" instead
of setting the global config.

And you use the -c option here.

We have the extra newline in these tests, too.

This has a side effect of making all the code locations that used to
refer to option_origin much easier to read, like ...

clone.defaultremotename is a single valued configuration variable,
and this correctly implements the "last one wins" behaviour (but
previous remote_name will leak every time clone.defaultremotename
is seen in the config stream).

Also this code arrangement is not quite satisfactory.  It means that
we cannot re-read any configuration variable that does not have an
accompanying command line option.  I thought the whole point of
doing the write_config() was so that anything came from the command
line option can be written back to the configuration file, so I am
not sure what the harm would be to update remote_name from the
configuration whether option_origin is used or not here.  Perhaps
add "clone.defaultremotename" to the set of configuration setting
write_config() uses, when --option is given from the command line,
and remove this special case?

By the way, I now realized why 2/4's "read twice" is OK.  init_db()
calls create_default_files() and we do clare the cached configset by
calling git_config_clear() there.

Thanks.

Number 3 is used twice in this list.

Great catch - fixed for v2.

That's true!  The special case was there mostly to keep --origin as the
highest priority, but that can be solved much more naturally by moving
the assignment from option_origin to remote_name down below the second
git_config call.  Included in v2.

That's a great idea!  Implemented for v2 :)
