From 28a4e580218b79dd5a7d55c2a30431469129321d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2016 20:23:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] diff: always try to set up the repository If we see an explicit "--no-index", we do not bother calling setup_git_directory_gently() at all. This means that we may miss out on reading repo-specific config. It's arguable whether this is correct or not. If we were designing from scratch, making "git diff --no-index" completely ignore the repository makes some sense. But we are nowhere near scratch, so let's look at the existing behavior: 1. If you're in the top-level of a repository and run an explicit "diff --no-index", the config subsystem falls back to reading ".git/config", and we will respect repo config. 2. If you're in a subdirectory of a repository, then we still try to read ".git/config", but it generally doesn't exist. So "diff --no-index" there does not respect repo config. 3. If you have $GIT_DIR set in the environment, we read and respect $GIT_DIR/config, 4. If you run "git diff /tmp/foo /tmp/bar" to get an implicit no-index, we _do_ run the repository setup, and set $GIT_DIR (or respect an existing $GIT_DIR variable). We find the repo config no matter where we started, and respect it. So we already respect the repository config in a number of common cases, and case (2) is the only one that does not. And at least one of our tests, t4034, depends on case (1) behaving as it does now (though it is just incidental, not an explicit test for this behavior). So let's bring case (2) in line with the others by always running the repository setup, even with an explicit "--no-index". We shouldn't need to change anything else, as the implicit case already handles the prefix.
