The fake objects in t1006 use dummy timestamps like "0000000000 +0000".
While this does make them look more like normal timestamps (which,
unless it is 1970, have many digits), it actually violates our fsck
checks, which complain about zero-padded timestamps.
This doesn't currently break anything, but let's future-proof our tests
against a version of hash-object which is a little more careful about
its input. We don't actually care about the exact values here (and in
fact, the helper functions in this script end up removing the timestamps
anyway, so we don't even have to adjust other parts of the tests).

When callers are using `cat-file` via one of the stdin-driven `--batch`
modes, all input is newline-delimited. This presents a problem when
callers wish to ask about, e.g. tree-entries that have a newline
character present in their filename.
To support this niche scenario, introduce a new `-z` mode to the
`--batch`, `--batch-check`, and `--batch-command` suite of options that
instructs `cat-file` to treat its input as NUL-delimited, allowing the
individual commands themselves to have newlines present.
The refactoring here is slightly unfortunate, since we turn loops like:
while (strbuf_getline(&buf, stdin) != EOF)
into:
while (1) {
int ret;
if (opt->nul_terminated)
ret = strbuf_getline_nul(&input, stdin);
else
ret = strbuf_getline(&input, stdin);
if (ret == EOF)
break;
}
It's tempting to think that we could use `strbuf_getwholeline()` and
specify either `\n` or `\0` as the terminating character. But for input
on platforms that include a CR character preceeding the LF, this
wouldn't quite be the same, since `strbuf_getline(...)` will trim any
trailing CR, while `strbuf_getwholeline(&buf, stdin, '\n')` will not.
In the future, we could clean this up further by introducing a variant
of `strbuf_getwholeline()` that addresses the aforementioned gap, but
that approach felt too heavy-handed for this pair of uses.
Some tests are added in t1006 to ensure that `cat-file` produces the
same output in `--batch`, `--batch-check`, and `--batch-command` modes
with and without the new `-z` option.

A future commit will want to ensure that various `--batch`-related
options produce the same output whether their input is newline
terminated, or NUL terminated (and a to-be-implemented `-z` option
exists).
To prepare for this, extract the given input(s) into separate variables
to that their LF characters can easily be converted into NUL bytes when
testing the new `-z` mode.
This is consistent with other tests in t1006 (which these days is no
longer a shining example of our CodingGuidelines).

Fix a regression in my 3b6a8db3b0 (object-file.c: use "enum" return
type for unpack_loose_header(), 2021-10-01) revealed both by running
the test suite with --valgrind, and with the amended "git fsck" test.
In practice this regression in v2.34.0 caused us to claim that we
couldn't parse the header, as opposed to not being able to unpack
it. Before the change in the C code the test_cmp added here would emit:
-error: unable to unpack header of ./objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
+error: unable to parse header of ./objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
I.e. we'd proceed to call parse_loose_header() on the uninitialized
"hdr" value, and it would have been very unlikely for that
uninitialized memory to be a valid git object.
The other callers of unpack_loose_header() were already checking the
enum values exhaustively. See 3b6a8db3b0 and
5848fb11ac (object-file.c: return ULHR_TOO_LONG on "header too long",

Add a new flag --batch-command that accepts commands and arguments
from stdin, similar to git-update-ref --stdin.
At GitLab, we use a pair of long running cat-file processes when
accessing object content. One for iterating over object metadata with
--batch-check, and the other to grab object contents with --batch.
However, if we had --batch-command, we wouldn't need to keep both
processes around, and instead just have one --batch-command process
where we can flip between getting object info, and getting object
contents. Since we have a pair of cat-file processes per repository,
this means we can get rid of roughly half of long lived git cat-file
processes. Given there are many repositories being accessed at any given
time, this can lead to huge savings.
git cat-file --batch-command
will enter an interactive command mode whereby the user can enter in
commands and their arguments that get queued in memory:
<command1> [arg1] [arg2] LF
<command2> [arg1] [arg2] LF
When --buffer mode is used, commands will be queued in memory until a
flush command is issued that execute them:
flush LF
The reason for a flush command is that when a consumer process (A)
talks to a git cat-file process (B) and interactively writes to and
reads from it in --buffer mode, (A) needs to be able to control when
the buffer is flushed to stdout.
Currently, from (A)'s perspective, the only way is to either
1. kill (B)'s process
2. send an invalid object to stdin.
1. is not ideal from a performance perspective as it will require
spawning a new cat-file process each time, and 2. is hacky and not a
good long term solution.
With this mechanism of queueing up commands and letting (A) issue a
flush command, process (A) can control when the buffer is flushed and
can guarantee it will receive all of the output when in --buffer mode.
--batch-command also will not allow (B) to flush to stdout until a flush
is received.
This patch adds the basic structure for adding command which can be
extended in the future to add more commands. It also adds the following
two commands (on top of the flush command):
contents <object> LF
info <object> LF
The contents command takes an <object> argument and prints out the object
contents.
The info command takes an <object> argument and prints out the object
metadata.
These can be used in the following way with --buffer:
info <object> LF
contents <object> LF
contents <object> LF
info <object> LF
flush LF
info <object> LF
flush LF
When used without --buffer:
info <object> LF
contents <object> LF
contents <object> LF
info <object> LF
info <object> LF

maybe_remove_timestamp() takes arguments, but it would be useful to have
a function that reads from stdin and strips the timestamp. This would
allow tests to pipe data into a function to remove timestamps, and
wouldn't have to always assign a variable. This is especially helpful
when the data is multiple lines.
Keep maybe_remove_timestamp() the same, but add a remove_timestamp

With the migration of --batch-all-objects to OPT_CMDMODE() in the
preceding commit one bug with combining it and other OPT_CMDMODE()
options was solved, but we were still left with e.g. --buffer silently
being discarded when not in batch mode.
Fix all those bugs, and in addition emit errors telling the user
specifically what options can't be combined with what other options,
before this we'd usually just emit the cryptic usage text and leave
the users to work it out by themselves.
This change is rather large, because to do so we need to untangle the
options processing so that we can not only error out, but emit
sensible errors, and e.g. emit errors about options before errors
about stray argc elements (as they might become valid if the option
were removed).
Some of the output changes ("error:" to "fatal:" with
usage_msg_opt[f]()), but none of the exit codes change, except in
those cases where we silently accepted bad option combinations before,
now we'll error out.

The usage of OPT_CMDMODE() in "cat-file"[1] was added in parallel with
the development of[3] the --batch-all-objects option[4], so we've
since grown[5] checks that it can't be combined with other command
modes, when it should just be made a top-level command-mode
instead. It doesn't combine with --filters, --textconv etc.
By giving parse_options() information about what options are mutually
exclusive with one another we can get the die() message being removed
here for free, we didn't even use that removed message in some cases,
e.g. for both of:
--batch-all-objects --textconv
--batch-all-objects --filters
We'd take the "goto usage" in the "if (opt)" branch, and never reach
the previous message. Now we'll emit e.g.:

When we're enumerating all objects in the object database, it doesn't
make sense to respect refs/replace. The point of this option is to
enumerate all of the objects in the database at a low level. By
definition we'd already show the replacement object's contents (under
its real oid), and showing those contents under another oid is almost
certainly working against what the user is trying to do.
Note that you could make the same argument for something like:
git show-index <foo.idx |
awk '{print $2}' |
git cat-file --batch
but there we can't know in cat-file exactly what the user intended,
because we don't know the source of the input. They could be trying to
do low-level debugging, or they could be doing something more high-level
(e.g., imagine a porcelain built around cat-file for its object
accesses). So in those cases, we'll have to rely on the user specifying
"git --no-replace-objects" to tell us what to do.
One _could_ make an argument that "cat-file --batch" is sufficiently
low-level plumbing that it should not respect replace-objects at all
(and the caller should do any replacement if they want it). But we have
been doing so for some time. The history is a little tangled:
- looking back as far as v1.6.6, we would not respect replace refs for
--batch-check, but would for --batch (because the former used
sha1_object_info(), and the replace mechanism only affected actual
object reads)
- this discrepancy was made even weirder by 98e2092b50 (cat-file:
teach --batch to stream blob objects, 2013-07-10), where we always
output the header using the --batch-check code, and then printed the
object separately. This could lead to "cat-file --batch" dying (when
it notices the size or type changed for a non-blob object) or even
producing bogus output (in streaming mode, we didn't notice that we
wrote the wrong number of bytes).
- that persisted until 1f7117ef7a (sha1_file: perform object
replacement in sha1_object_info_extended(), 2013-12-11), which then
respected replace refs for both forms.
So it has worked reliably this way for over 7 years, and we should make
sure it continues to do so. That could also be an argument that
--batch-all-objects should not change behavior (which this patch is
doing), but I really consider the current behavior to be an unintended
bug. It's a side effect of how the code is implemented (feeding the oids
back into oid_object_info() rather than looking at what we found while
reading the loose and packed object storage).
The implementation is straight-forward: we just disable the global
read_replace_refs flag when we're in --batch-all-objects mode. It would
perhaps be a little cleaner to change the flag we pass to
oid_object_info_extended(), but that's not enough. We also read objects
via read_object_file() and stream_blob_to_fd(). The former could switch
to its _extended() form, but the streaming code has no mechanism for
disabling replace refs. Setting the global flag works, and as a bonus,
it's impossible to have any "oops, we're sometimes replacing the object
and sometimes not" bugs in the output (like the ones caused by
98e2092b50 above).
The tests here cover the regular-input and --batch-all-objects cases,
for both --batch-check and --batch. There is a test in t6050 that covers
the regular-input case with --batch already, but this new one goes much
further in actually verifying the output (plus covering --batch-check
explicitly). This is perhaps a little overkill and the tests would be
simpler just covering --batch-check, but I wanted to make sure we're
checking that --batch output is consistent between the header and the
content. The global-flag technique used here makes that easy to get
right, but this is future-proofing us against regressions.

Improve the error that's emitted in cases where we find a loose object
we parse, but which isn't at the location we expect it to be.
Before this change we'd prefix the error with a not-a-OID derived from
the path at which the object was found, due to an emergent behavior in
how we'd end up with an "OID" in these codepaths.
Now we'll instead say what object we hashed, and what path it was
found at. Before this patch series e.g.:
$ git hash-object --stdin -w -t blob </dev/null
e69de29bb2
$ mv objects/e6/ objects/e7
Would emit ("[...]" used to abbreviate the OIDs):
git fsck
error: hash mismatch for ./objects/e7/9d[...] (expected e79d[...])
error: e79d[...]: object corrupt or missing: ./objects/e7/9d[...]
Now we'll instead emit:
error: e69d[...]: hash-path mismatch, found at: ./objects/e7/9d[...]
Furthermore, we'll do the right thing when the object type and its
location are bad. I.e. this case:
$ git hash-object --stdin -w -t garbage --literally </dev/null
8315a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
$ mv objects/83 objects/84
As noted in an earlier commits we'd simply die early in those cases,
until preceding commits fixed the hard die on invalid object type:
$ git fsck
fatal: invalid object type
Now we'll instead emit sensible error messages:
$ git fsck
error: 8315[...]: hash-path mismatch, found at: ./objects/84/15[...]
error: 8315[...]: object is of unknown type 'garbage': ./objects/84/15[...]
In both fsck.c and object-file.c we're using null_oid as a sentinel
value for checking whether we got far enough to be certain that the
issue was indeed this OID mismatch.
We need to add the "object corrupt or missing" special-case to deal
with cases where read_loose_object() will return an error before
completing check_object_signature(), e.g. if we have an error in
unpack_loose_rest() because we find garbage after the valid gzip
content:
$ git hash-object --stdin -w -t blob </dev/null
e69de29bb2
$ chmod 755 objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
$ echo garbage >>objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
$ git fsck
error: garbage at end of loose object 'e69d[...]'
error: unable to unpack contents of ./objects/e6/9d[...]
error: e69d[...]: object corrupt or missing: ./objects/e6/9d[...]
There is currently some weird messaging in the edge case when the two
are combined, i.e. because we're not explicitly passing along an error
state about this specific scenario from check_stream_oid() via
read_loose_object() we'll end up printing the null OID if an object is
of an unknown type *and* it can't be unpacked by zlib, e.g.:
$ git hash-object --stdin -w -t garbage --literally </dev/null
8315a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
$ chmod 755 objects/83/15a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
$ echo garbage >>objects/83/15a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
$ /usr/bin/git fsck
fatal: invalid object type
$ ~/g/git/git fsck
error: garbage at end of loose object '8315a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f'

[...]
I think it's OK to leave that for future improvements, which would
involve enum-ifying more error state as we've done with "enum
unpack_loose_header_result" in preceding commits. In these
increasingly more obscure cases the worst that can happen is that
we'll get slightly nonsensical or inapplicable error messages.
There's other such potential edge cases, all of which might produce
some confusing messaging, but still be handled correctly as far as
passing along errors goes. E.g. if check_object_signature() returns
and oideq(real_oid, null_oid()) is true, which could happen if it
returns -1 due to the read_istream() call having failed.

we'll correctly emit zlib errors from zlib.c already in this case, so
we have no need to carry those return codes further down the

When we look up a missing object with cat_one_file() what error we
print out currently depends on whether we'll error out early in
get_oid_with_context(), or if we'll get an error later from
oid_object_info_extended().
The --allow-unknown-type flag then changes whether we pass the
"OBJECT_INFO_ALLOW_UNKNOWN_TYPE" flag to get_oid_with_context() or
not.
The "-p" flag is yet another special-case in printing the same output
on the deadbeef OID as we'd emit on the deadbeef_short OID for the
"-s" and "-t" options, it also doesn't support the
"--allow-unknown-type" flag at all.
Let's test the combination of the two sets of [-t, -s, -p] and

"git cat-file --batch-all-objects"" misbehaved when "--batch" is in
use and did not ask for certain object traits.
* zh/cat-file-batch-fix:
cat-file: merge two block into one
cat-file: handle trivial --batch format with --batch-all-objects
The --batch code to print an object assumes we found out the type of
the object from calling oid_object_info_extended(). This is true for
the default format, but even in a custom format, we manually modify
the object_info struct to ask for the type.
This assumption was broken by 845de33a5b (cat-file: avoid noop calls
to sha1_object_info_extended, 2016-05-18). That commit skips the call
to oid_object_info_extended() entirely when --batch-all-objects is in
use, and the custom format does not include any placeholders that
require calling it.
Or when the custom format only include placeholders like %(objectname) or
%(rest), oid_object_info_extended() will not get the type of the object.
This results in an error when we try to confirm that the type didn't
change:
$ git cat-file --batch=batman --batch-all-objects
batman
fatal: object 000023961a changed type!?
and also has other subtle effects (e.g., we'd fail to stream a blob,
since we don't realize it's a blob in the first place).
We can fix this by flipping the order of the setup. The check for "do
we need to get the object info" must come _after_ we've decided
whether we need to look up the type.

Change the validation logic in "mktag" to use fsck's fsck_tag()
instead of its own custom parser. Curiously the logic for both dates
back to the same commit[1]. Let's unify them so we're not maintaining
two sets functions to verify that a tag is OK.
The behavior of fsck_tag() and the old "mktag" code being removed here
is different in few aspects.
I think it makes sense to remove some of those checks, namely:
A. fsck only cares that the timezone matches [-+][0-9]{4}. The mktag
code disallowed values larger than 1400.
Yes there's currently no timezone with a greater offset[2], but
since we allow any number of non-offical timezones (e.g. +1234)
passing this through seems fine. Git also won't break in the
future if e.g. French Polynesia decides it needs to outdo the Line
Islands when it comes to timezone extravagance.
B. fsck allows missing author names such as "tagger <email>", mktag
wouldn't, but would allow e.g. "tagger [2 spaces] <email>" (but
not "tagger [1 space] <email>"). Now we allow all of these.
C. Like B, but "mktag" disallowed spaces in the <email> part, fsck
allows it.
In some ways fsck_tag() is stricter than "mktag" was, namely:
D. fsck disallows zero-padded dates, but mktag didn't care. So
e.g. the timestamp "0000000000 +0000" produces an error now. A
test in "t1006-cat-file.sh" relied on this, it's been changed to
use "hash-object" (without fsck) instead.
There was one check I deemed worth keeping by porting it over to
fsck_tag():
E. "mktag" did not allow any custom headers, and by extension (as an
empty commit is allowed) also forbade an extra stray trailing
newline after the headers it knew about.
Add a new check in the "ignore" category to fsck and use it. This
somewhat abuses the facility added in efaba7cc77 (fsck:
optionally ignore specific fsck issues completely, 2015-06-22).
This is somewhat of hack, but probably the least invasive change
we can make here. The fsck command will shuffle these categories
around, e.g. under --strict the "info" becomes a "warn" and "warn"
becomes "error". Existing users of fsck's (and others,
e.g. index-pack) --strict option rely on this.
So we need to put something into a category that'll be ignored by
all existing users of the API. Pretending that
fsck.extraHeaderEntry=error ("ignore" by default) was set serves
to do this for us.

use

And add a blank line before and after the pipe where it aids readability

If you're going to access the contents of every object in a
packfile, it's generally much more efficient to do so in
pack order, rather than in hash order. That increases the
locality of access within the packfile, which in turn is
friendlier to the delta base cache, since the packfile puts
related deltas next to each other. By contrast, hash order
is effectively random, since the sha1 has no discernible
relationship to the content.
This patch introduces an "--unordered" option to cat-file
which iterates over packs in pack-order under the hood. You
can see the results when dumping all of the file content:
$ time ./git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch | wc -c
6883195596
real 0m44.491s
user 0m42.902s
sys 0m5.230s
$ time ./git cat-file --unordered \
--batch-all-objects --buffer --batch | wc -c
6883195596
real 0m6.075s
user 0m4.774s
sys 0m3.548s
Same output, different order, way faster. The same speed-up
applies even if you end up accessing the object content in a
different process, like:
git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch-check |
grep blob |
git cat-file --batch='%(objectname) %(rest)' |
wc -c
Adding "--unordered" to the first command drops the runtime
in git.git from 24s to 3.5s.
Side note: there are actually further speedups available
for doing it all in-process now. Since we are outputting
the object content during the actual pack iteration, we
know where to find the object and could skip the extra
lookup done by oid_object_info(). This patch stops short
of that optimization since the underlying API isn't ready
for us to make those sorts of direct requests.
So if --unordered is so much better, why not make it the
default? Two reasons:
1. We've promised in the documentation that --batch-all-objects
outputs in hash order. Since cat-file is plumbing,
people may be relying on that default, and we can't
change it.
2. It's actually _slower_ for some cases. We have to
compute the pack revindex to walk in pack order. And
our de-duplication step uses an oidset, rather than a
sort-and-dedup, which can end up being more expensive.
If we're just accessing the type and size of each
object, for example, like:
git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch-check
my best-of-five warm cache timings go from 900ms to
1100ms using --unordered. Though it's possible in a
cold-cache or under memory pressure that we could do
better, since we'd have better locality within the
packfile.
And one final question: why is it "--unordered" and not
"--pack-order"? The answer is again two-fold:
1. "pack order" isn't a well-defined thing across the
whole set of objects. We're hitting loose objects, as
well as objects in multiple packs, and the only
ordering we're promising is _within_ a single pack. The
rest is apparently random.
2. The point here is optimization. So we don't want to
promise any particular ordering, but only to say that
we will choose an ordering which is likely to be
efficient for accessing the object content. That leaves
the door open for further changes in the future without
having to add another compatibility option.

The test for --batch-all-objects in t1006 covers a variety
of object storage situations, but one thing it doesn't cover
is that we avoid mentioning duplicate objects. We won't have
any because running "git repack -ad" will have packed them
all and deleted the loose ones.
This does work (because we sort and de-dup the output list),
but it's good to include it in our test. And doubly so for
when we add an unordered mode which has to de-dup in a
different way.
Note that we cannot just re-create one of the objects, as
Git will omit the write of an object that is already
present. However, we can create a new pack with one of the
objects, which forces the duplication.
One alternative would be to just use "git repack -a" instead
of "-ad". But then _every_ object would be duplicated as
loose and packed, and we might miss a bug that omits packed
objects (because we'd show their loose counterparts).

It can sometimes be useful to examine all objects in the
repository. Normally this is done with "git rev-list --all
--objects", but:
1. That shows only reachable objects. You may want to look
at all available objects.
2. It's slow. We actually open each object to walk the
graph. If your operation is OK with seeing unreachable
objects, it's an order of magnitude faster to just
enumerate the loose directories and pack indices.
You can do this yourself using "ls" and "git show-index",
but it's non-obvious. This patch adds an option to
"cat-file --batch-check" to operate on all available
objects (rather than reading names from stdin).
This is based on a proposal by Charles Bailey to provide a
separate "git list-all-objects" command. That is more
orthogonal, as it splits enumerating the objects from
getting information about them. However, in practice you
will either:
a. Feed the list of objects directly into cat-file anyway,
so you can find out information about them. Keeping it
in a single process is more efficient.
b. Ask the listing process to start telling you more
information about the objects, in which case you will
reinvent cat-file's batch-check formatter.
Adding a cat-file option is simple and efficient. And if you
really do want just the object names, you can always do:
git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname)' --batch-all-objects

Commit 98e2092 taught cat-file to stream blobs with --batch,
which requires that we look up the object type before
loading it into memory. As a result, we now print the
object header from information in sha1_object_info, and the
actual contents from the read_sha1_file. We double-check
that the information we printed in the header matches the
content we are about to show.
Later, commit 93d2a60 allowed custom header lines for
--batch, and commit 5b08640 made type lookups optional. As a
result, specifying a header line without the type or size
means that we will not look up those items at all.
This causes our double-checking to erroneously die with an
error; we think the type or size has changed, when in fact
it was simply left at "0".
For the size, we can fix this by only doing the consistency
double-check when we have retrieved the size via
sha1_object_info. In the case that we have not retrieved the
value, that means we also did not print it, so there is
nothing for us to check that we are consistent with.
We could do the same for the type. However, besides our
consistency check, we also care about the type in deciding
whether to stream or not. So instead of handling the case
where we do not know the type, this patch instead makes sure
that we always trigger a type lookup when we are printing,
so that even a format without the type will stream as we
would in the normal case.

Commit c334b87b (cat-file: split --batch input lines on whitespace,
2013-07-11) taught `cat-file --batch-check` to split input lines on
the first whitespace, and stash everything after the first token
into the %(rest) output format element. It claimed:
Object names cannot contain spaces, so any input with
spaces would have resulted in a "missing" line.
But that is not correct. Refs, object sha1s, and various peeling
suffixes cannot contain spaces, but some object names can. In
particular:
1. Tree paths like "[<tree>]:path with whitespace"
2. Reflog specifications like "@{2 days ago}"
3. Commit searches like "rev^{/grep me}" or ":/grep me"
To remain backwards compatible, we cannot split on whitespace by
default, hence we will ship 1.8.4 with the commit reverted.
Resurrect its attempt but in a weaker form; only do the splitting
when "%(rest)" is used in the output format. Since that element did
not exist at all before c334b87, old scripts cannot be affected.
The existence of object names with spaces does mean that you
cannot reliably do:
echo ":path with space and other data" |
git cat-file --batch-check="%(objectname) %(rest)"
as it would split the path and feed only ":path" to get_sha1. But
that command is nonsensical. If you wanted to see "and other data"
in "%(rest)", git cannot possibly know where the filename ends and
the "rest" begins.
It might be more robust to have something like "-z" to separate the
input elements. But this patch is still a reasonable step before
having that. It makes the easy cases easy; people who do not care
about %(rest) do not have to consider it, and the %(rest) code
handles the spaces and newlines of "rev-list --objects" correctly.
Hard cases remain hard but possible (if you might get whitespace in
your input, you do not get to use %(rest) and must split and join
the output yourself using more flexible tools). And most
importantly, it does not preclude us from having different splitting
rules later if a "-z" (or similar) option is added. So we can make
the hard cases easier later, if we choose to.

This reverts commit c334b87b30c1464a1ab563fe1fb8de5eaf0e5bac; the
update assumed that people only used the command to read from
"rev-list --objects" output, whose lines begin with a 40-hex object
name followed by a whitespace, but it turns out that scripts feed
random extended SHA-1 expressions (e.g. "HEAD:$pathname") in which
a whitespace has to be kept.
If we get an input line to --batch or --batch-check that
looks like "HEAD foo bar", we will currently feed the whole
thing to get_sha1(). This means that to use --batch-check
with `rev-list --objects`, one must pre-process the input,
like:
git rev-list --objects HEAD |
cut -d' ' -f1 |
git cat-file --batch-check
Besides being more typing and slightly less efficient to
invoke `cut`, the result loses information: we no longer
know which path each object was found at.
This patch teaches cat-file to split input lines at the
first whitespace. Everything to the left of the whitespace
is considered an object name, and everything to the right is
made available as the %(reset) atom. So you can now do:
git rev-list --objects HEAD |
git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize) %(rest)'
to collect object sizes at particular paths.
Even if %(rest) is not used, we always do the whitespace
split (which means you can simply eliminate the `cut`
command from the first example above).
This whitespace split is backwards compatible for any
reasonable input. Object names cannot contain spaces, so any
input with spaces would have resulted in a "missing" line.
The only input hurt is if somebody really expected input of
the form "HEAD is a fine-looking ref!" to fail; it will now
parse HEAD, and make "is a fine-looking ref!" available as
%(rest).
