patch-id: use “patch ID” throughout

2026-01-09T14:07:21Z

The “Description” section decided to introduce and use the term “patch ID” for the ID value itself. Let’s use the same term on the options as well. Also make to sure to use bare “ID” instead of “id”. Signed-off-by: Kristoffer Haugsbakk Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

config: move Git config parsing into "environment.c"

2025-07-23T15:15:22Z

In "config.c" we host both the business logic to read and write config files as well as the logic to parse specific Git-related variables. On the one hand this is mixing concerns, but even more importantly it means that we cannot easily remove the dependency on `the_repository` in our config parsing logic. Move the logic into "environment.c". This file is a grab bag of all kinds of global state already, so it is quite a good fit. Furthermore, it also hosts most of the global variables that we're parsing the config values into, making this an even better fit. Note that there is one hidden change: in `parse_fsync_components()` we use an `int` to iterate through `ARRAY_SIZE(fsync_component_names)`. But as -Wsign-compare warnings are enabled in this file this causes a compiler warning. The issue is fixed by using a `size_t` instead. This change allows us to drop the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` declaration. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

config: drop `git_config()` wrapper

2025-07-23T15:15:18Z

In 036876a1067 (config: hide functions using `the_repository` by default, 2024-08-13) we have moved around a bunch of functions in the config subsystem that depend on `the_repository`. Those function have been converted into mere wrappers around their equivalent function that takes in a repository as parameter, and the intent was that we'll eventually remove those wrappers to make the dependency on the global repository variable explicit at the callsite. Follow through with that intent and remove `git_config()`. All callsites are adjusted so that they use `repo_config(the_repository, ...)` instead. While some callsites might already have a repository available, this mechanical conversion is the exact same as the current situation and thus cannot cause any regression. Those sites should eventually be cleaned up in a later patch series. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

builtin: use default hash when outside a repository

2025-07-01T21:58:24Z

We have some commands that can operate inside or outside a repository. If we're operating outside a repository, we clearly cannot use the repository's hash algorithm as a default since it doesn't exist, so instead, let's pick the default instead of specifically SHA-1. Right now this results in no functional change since the default is SHA-1, but that may change in the future. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

global: adapt callers to use generic hash context helpers

2025-01-31T18:06:11Z

Adapt callers to use generic hash context helpers instead of using the hash algorithm to update them. This makes the callsites easier to reason about and removes the possibility that the wrong hash algorithm is used to update the hash context's state. And as a nice side effect this also gets rid of a bunch of users of `the_hash_algo`. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

hash: stop typedeffing the hash context

2025-01-31T18:06:10Z

We generally avoid using `typedef` in the Git codebase. One exception though is the `git_hash_ctx`, likely because it used to be a union rather than a struct until the preceding commit refactored it. But now that it is a normal `struct` there isn't really a need for a typedef anymore. Drop the typedef and adapt all callers accordingly.

builtin/patch-id: fix type of `get_one_patchid()`

2024-12-06T11:20:05Z

In `get_one_patchid()` we assign either the result of `strlen()` or `remove_space()` to `len`. But while the former correctly returns a `size_t`, the latter returns an `int` to indicate the length of the stripped string even though it cannot ever return a negative value. This causes a warning with "-Wsign-conversion". In fact, even `get_one_patchid()` itself is also using an integer as return value even though it always returns the length of the patch, and this bubbles up to other callers. Adapt the function and its helpers to use `size_t` for string lengths consistently. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

global: mark code units that generate warnings with `-Wsign-compare`

2024-12-06T11:20:02Z

Mark code units that generate warnings with `-Wsign-compare`. This allows for a structured approach to get rid of all such warnings over time in a way that can be easily measured. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'jc/pass-repo-to-builtins'

2024-09-23T17:35:09Z

The convention to calling into built-in command implementation has been updated to pass the repository, if known, together with the prefix value. * jc/pass-repo-to-builtins: add: pass in repo variable instead of global the_repository builtin: remove USE_THE_REPOSITORY for those without the_repository builtin: remove USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE from builtin.h builtin: add a repository parameter for builtin functions

Revert "Merge branch 'jc/patch-id' into maint-2.46"

2024-09-16T22:12:06Z

This reverts commit 41c952ebacf7e3369e7bee721f768114d65e50c4, reversing changes made to 712d970c0145b95ce655773e7cd1676f09dfd215. Keeping a known breakage for now is better than introducing new regression(s).
