"git check-attr" learned to take an optional tree-ish to read the
.gitattributes file from.
* kn/attr-from-tree:
attr: add flag `--source` to work with tree-ish
t0003: move setup for `--all` into new block
The contents of the .gitattributes files may evolve over time, but "git
check-attr" always checks attributes against them in the working tree
and/or in the index. It may be beneficial to optionally allow the users
to check attributes taken from a commit other than HEAD against paths.
Add a new flag `--source` which will allow users to check the
attributes against a commit (actually any tree-ish would do). When the
user uses this flag, we go through the stack of .gitattributes files but
instead of checking the current working tree and/or in the index, we
check the blobs from the provided tree-ish object. This allows the
command to also be used in bare repositories.
Since we use a tree-ish object, the user can pass "--source
HEAD:subdirectory" and all the attributes will be looked up as if
subdirectory was the root directory of the repository.
We cannot simply use the `<rev>:<path>` syntax without the `--source`
flag, similar to how it is used in `git show` because any non-flag
parameter before `--` is treated as an attribute and any parameter after
`--` is treated as a pathname.
The change involves creating a new function `read_attr_from_blob`, which
given the path reads the blob for the path against the provided source and
parses the attributes line by line. This function is plugged into
`read_attr()` function wherein we go through the stack of attributes
files.

As with the previous patch, using skip_prefix() is more readable and
less error-prone than a raw strncmp(), because it avoids a
manually-computed length. These cases differ from the previous patch
that uses starts_with() because they care about the value after the
matched prefix.
We can convert these to use skip_prefix() by introducing an extra
variable to hold the out-pointer.
Note in the case in ws.c that to get rid of the magic number "9"
completely, we also switch out "len" for recomputing the pointer
difference. These are equivalent because "len" is always "ep - string".

We take a ws_rule parameter, but have never looked at it since the
function was added in 877f23ccb8 (Teach "diff --check" about new blank
lines at end, 2008-06-26). A comment in the function does mention how we
_could_ use it, but nobody has felt the need to do so for over a decade.
We could keep it around as reminder of what could be done, but the
comment serves that purpose. And in the meantime, it triggers
-Wunused-parameter.
So let's drop it, which in turn allows us to drop similar arguments
further up the callstack. I've left the comment intact. It does still
say "ws_rule", but that name is used consistently in the whitespace
code, so the meaning is clear.

Make the attr API take an index_state instead of assuming the_index in
attr code. All call sites are converted blindly to keep the patch
simple and retain current behavior. Individual call sites may receive
further updates to use the right index instead of the_index.
There is one ugly temporary workaround added in attr.c that needs some
more explanation.
Commit c24f3abace (apply: file commited with CRLF should roundtrip
diff and apply - 2017-08-19) forces one convert_to_git() call to NOT
read the index at all. But what do you know, we read it anyway by
falling back to the_index. When "istate" from convert_to_git is now
propagated down to read_attr_from_array() we will hit segfault
somewhere inside read_blob_data_from_index.
The right way of dealing with this is to kill "use_index" variable and
only follow "istate" but at this stage we are not ready for that:
while most git_attr_set_direction() calls just passes the_index to be
assigned to use_index, unpack-trees passes a different one which is
used by entry.c code, which has no way to know what index to use if we
delete use_index. So this has to be done later.

* 'jc/maint-1.6.0-blank-at-eof' (early part):
diff --whitespace: fix blank lines at end
core.whitespace: split trailing-space into blank-at-{eol,eof}
diff --color: color blank-at-eof
diff --whitespace=warn/error: fix blank-at-eof check
diff --whitespace=warn/error: obey blank-at-eof
diff.c: the builtin_diff() deals with only two-file comparison
apply --whitespace: warn blank but not necessarily empty lines at EOF
apply --whitespace=warn/error: diagnose blank at EOF
apply.c: split check_whitespace() into two
apply --whitespace=fix: detect new blank lines at eof correctly
apply --whitespace=fix: fix handling of blank lines at the eof
People who configured trailing-space depended on it to catch both extra
white space at the end of line, and extra blank lines at the end of file.
Earlier attempt to introduce only blank-at-eof gave them an escape hatch
to keep the old behaviour, but it is a regression until they explicitly
specify the new error class.
This introduces a blank-at-eol that only catches extra white space at the
end of line, and makes the traditional trailing-space a convenient synonym
to catch both blank-at-eol and blank-at-eof. This way, people who used
trailing-space continue to catch both classes of errors.

"git apply" strips new blank lines at EOF under --whitespace=fix option,
but neigher --whitespace=warn nor --whitespace=error paid any attention to
these errors.
Introduce a new whitespace error class, blank-at-eof, to make the
whitespace error handling more consistent.
The patch adds a new "linenr" field to the struct fragment in order to
record which line the hunk started in the input file, but this is needed
solely for reporting purposes. The detection of this class of whitespace
errors cannot be done while parsing a patch like we do for all the other
classes of whitespace errors. It instead has to wait until we find where
to apply the hunk, but at that point, we do not have an access to the
original line number in the input file anymore, hence the new field.
Depending on your point of view, this may be a bugfix that makes warn and
error in line with fix. Or you could call it a new feature. The line
between them is somewhat fuzzy in this case.
Strictly speaking, triggering more errors than before is a change in
behaviour that is not backward compatible, even though the reason for the
change is because the code was not checking for an error that it should
have. People who do not want added blank lines at EOF to trigger an error
can disable the new error class.

That is what the documentation says, but the code pretends as if all the

Among the whitespace error tokens, there is one kind that loosens the rule
when set: cr-at-eol. Which means that whitespace error token that is set

with the documentation.

After this patch, "written" counts the number of bytes up to and
including the most recently seen tab. This allows us to detect (and
count) spaces by comparing to "i".
This allows catching initial indents like '\t ' (a tab followed
by 8 spaces), while previously indent-with-non-tab caught only indents
that consisted entirely of spaces.
This also allows fixing an indent-with-non-tab regression, so we can
again detect indents like '\t \t'.

This commit unifies three separate places where whitespace checking was
performed:
- the whitespace checking previously done in builtin-apply.c is
extracted into a function in ws.c
- the equivalent logic in "git diff" is removed
- the emit_line_with_ws() function is also removed because that also
rechecks the whitespace, and its functionality is rolled into ws.c
The new function is called check_and_emit_line() and it does two things:
checks a line for whitespace errors and optionally emits it. The checking
is based on lines of content rather than patch lines (in other words, the
caller must strip the leading "+" or "-"); this was suggested by Junio on
the mailing list to allow for a future extension to "git show" to display
whitespace errors in blobs.
At the same time we teach it to report all classes of whitespace errors
found for a given line rather than reporting only the first found error.

The `core.whitespace` configuration variable allows you to define what
`diff` and `apply` should consider whitespace errors for all paths in
the project (See gitlink:git-config[1]). This attribute gives you finer
control per path.
For example, if you have these in the .gitattributes:
frotz whitespace
nitfol -whitespace
xyzzy whitespace=-trailing
all types of whitespace problems known to git are noticed in path 'frotz'
(i.e. diff shows them in diff.whitespace color, and apply warns about
them), no whitespace problem is noticed in path 'nitfol', and the
default types of whitespace problems except "trailing whitespace" are
noticed for path 'xyzzy'. A project with mixed Python and C might want
to have:
*.c whitespace
*.py whitespace=-indent-with-non-tab
in its toplevel .gitattributes file.
