cover allow non-trailers and multiple-line trailers

In [1], Junio explained a possible redesign of trailer support in interpret-trailers and cherry-pick, something along these lines:

1. Support non-trailers and multi-line trailers in interpret-trailers
2. Create a helper function so that the new interpretation can be used elsewhere (e.g. in sequencer)
3. Modify "Signed-off-by" and "(cherry picked by" to use the helper function

My current plans for step 1 and step 2 require relatively significant refactoring in trailer.c, so I thought that I should send out a patch set covering only step 1 first for discussion, before continuing with my work on top of this patch set.

Support for steps 2 and 3, including my original use case of being looser in the definition of a trailer when invoking "cherry-pick -x" (and thus suppressing the insertion of a newline) will come in a subsequent patch set.

Jonathan Tan (5):
trailer: use singly-linked list, not doubly
trailer: streamline trailer item create and add
trailer: make args have their own struct
trailer: allow non-trailers in trailer block
trailer: support values folded to multiple lines

PATCH 1/5 trailer: use singly-linked list, not doubly

Use singly-linked lists (instead of doubly-linked lists) in trailer to keep track of arguments (whether implicit from configuration or explicit from the command line) and trailer items.

This change significantly reduces the code length and simplifies the code. There are now fewer pointers to be manipulated, but most trailer manipulations now require seeking from beginning to end, so there might be a slight net decrease in performance; however the number of trailers is usually small (10 to 15 at the most) so this should not cause a big impact.

Re: [PATCH 1/5] trailer: use singly-linked list, not doubly

Quoted 10 lines · Jonathan Tan

Use singly-linked lists (instead of doubly-linked lists) in trailer to keep track of arguments (whether implicit from configuration or explicit from the command line) and trailer items.

This change significantly reduces the code length and simplifies the code. There are now fewer pointers to be manipulated, but most trailer manipulations now require seeking from beginning to end, so there might be a slight net decrease in performance; however the number of trailers is usually small (10 to 15 at the most) so this should not cause a big impact.

It is overall a very good change, but can you split this into two independent patches? s/struct trailer_item/const &/ sprinkled all over the place is more or less unrelated change and it is very distracting to see the primary change of the way lists are handled.

It's true that the code can be simplified a lot by using a singly-linked list, but if we already had and used some generic functions or macros to handle doubly-linked list, I doubt there would be a significant simplification (as the generic code could not be deleted in this case).

There are now fewer pointers to be manipulated, but most trailer manipulations now require seeking from beginning to end, so there might be a slight net decrease in performance; however the number of trailers is usually small (10 to 15 at the most) so this should not cause a big impact.

By default we append new trailers at the end of the trailer list, so a singly-linked list is theoretically not well suited at all for handling trailer lists.

You say that at most there is a small number of trailers, and that may be true indeed for the Linux kernel and most projects these days, but I am not sure it is a good assumption to make in general.

For example if some projects use or start using "CC: *" trailers and tools to automatically append such trailers (perhaps using 'git interpret-trailers' for that purpose by the way) based on people who touched the same code, then it could very well be a common thing to have 20 or more trailers on patches/commits for these projects.

There could also be automated testing tools that add their own "Tested-by: *" trailers, and projects that require many people to add their "Reviewed-by: *" trailers to each patch/commit. And in general with millions of users, it is not very safe to make assumptions that they will all be "reasonable" in the way they use a feature.

Another thing is that when Git started, I doubt many people would have thought that there would often be more than just one or two "Signed-off-by: *" trailer, and now 10 or 15 doesn't seem unthinkable. In fact 'git interpret-trailers' has been made precisely because there are more and more trailers, so there is more and more a need for a tool to properly add and manage them.

We recently had a discussion on the list to increase the default abbreviation length because it was not foreseen at the beginning of Git that people would need a larger number of characters as projects grow.

So even for the Linux kernel, I am not sure that it is safe to assume that the number of trailers will not grow much over the years, especially if we work on the tool that can make it easy to easily and automatically add them.

Thanks,
Christian.

We didn't have such generic macros when you wrote the trailer code originally, but we do now, in list.h (they come from the kernel's doubly-linked list implementation). I used them recently in a series and found them pretty pleasant and complete.

Maybe it's worth trying the conversion here to see if it simplifies the code.

There are now fewer pointers to be manipulated, but most trailer manipulations now require seeking from beginning to end, so there might be a slight net decrease in performance; however the number of trailers is usually small (10 to 15 at the most) so this should not cause a big impact.

Quoted 7 lines

By default we append new trailers at the end of the trailer list, so a singly-linked list is theoretically not well suited at all for handling trailer lists.

You say that at most there is a small number of trailers, and that may be true indeed for the Linux kernel and most projects these days, but I am not sure it is a good assumption to make in general.

I agree. As somebody who has fixed quite a number of accidentally quadratic cases in the number of refs, width of the commit graph, etc, over the years, these things have a way of creeping up or finding pathological cases.

You _can_ append to a singly linked list in O(1) if you keep a tail pointer, but I think using list.h would be even nicer.

PATCH 2/5 trailer: streamline trailer item create and add

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Currently, creation and addition (to a list) of trailer items are spread across multiple functions. Streamline this by only having 2 functions:
one to parse the user-supplied string, and one to add the parsed information to a list.

PATCH 3/5 trailer: make args have their own struct

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Improve type safety by making arguments (whether from configuration or from the command line) have their own "struct arg_item" type, separate from the "struct trailer_item" type used to represent the trailers in the buffer being manipulated.

Also take the opportunity to refine the "struct trailer_item" definition by removing the conf (which is used only by arguments) and by removing const on the string fields, since those fields are owned by the struct.

This change also prepares "struct trailer_item" to be further differentiated from "struct arg_item" in future patches.

Currently, interpret-trailers requires all lines of a trailer block to be trailers (or comments) - if not it would not identify that block as a trailer block, and thus create its own trailer block, inserting a blank line. For example:

  echo -e "\na: b\nnot trailer" |
  git interpret-trailers --trailer "c: d"

would result in:

a: b
not trailer

c: d

Relax the definition of a trailer block to only require 1 trailer, so that trailers can be directly added to such blocks, resulting in:

a: b
not trailer
c: d

This allows arbitrary lines to be included in trailer blocks, like those in [1], and still allow interpret-trailers to be used.

This change also makes comments in the trailer block be treated as any other non-trailer line, preserving them in the output of interpret-trailers.

There are some possible inaccuracies in the master branch's find_trailer_start (in particular, handling of lines that *start* with a separator, which should not be considered a trailer line) - this patch preserves the existing behavior.

Currently, interpret-trailers requires that a trailer be only on 1 line. For example:

a: first line
second line

would be interpreted as one trailer line followed by one non-trailer line.

Make interpret-trailers support RFC 822-style folding, treating those lines as one logical trailer.

Let's see how the code handles one minor detail when we see 822 folding, namely, "what happens to the leading whitespace that signals the beginning of the second and subsequent lines?".

Is the length of value very frequently used once the list of trailer lines are fully parsed? If not, I'd rather not to have "struct strbuf" in a long-living structure like this one and instead prefer keeping it a simple and stupid "char *value".

Yes, I know the existing code in trailers overuses strbuf when there is no need, primarily because it uses the lazy "split into an array of strbufs" function. We shouldn't make it worse.

It is convenient if "value" is a strbuf to do this,

but it is easy to introduce a temporary strbuf in this scope and use it only to create the final value and detach it to last->value, i.e.

		if (last && isspace(*lines[i]->buf)) {
			struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT;
			strbuf_addf(&buf, "%s\n%s", last->value, lines[i]->buf);
			strbuf_strip_suffix(&buf, "\n");
			free(last->value);
			last->value = strbuf_detach(&buf, NULL);

By the way, I now see that the code handles the "minor detail" to keep the leading whitespace, which is good.

Thanks.

v2 cover allow non-trailers and multiple-line trailers

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Thanks, Peff, for the pointer to list.h. Using list.h does simplify the code by a similar amount to switching it to a singly-linked list, so I have done that (replacing my earlier "trailer: use singly-linked list, not doubly" patch). Another advantage is that I no longer need to change the algorithm, making for a smaller patch.

(There are some quirks resulting from list.h implementing a circular list, like needing to pass "head" as a sentinel when iterating from the middle of the list, but those are minor, and my original singly-linked list implementation had quirks too anyway like needing to pass a pointer to the next pointer.)

Updates:
(-> 1/6)
- Added separate patch for const correctness changes (1/5 -> 2/6)
- Dropped singly-linked list patch, instead replacing existing doubly-linked list implementation with list.h
(5/5 -> 6/6)
- Used "char *" instead of "struct strbuf"
- Modified test slightly to test whitespace at beginning of line

Jonathan Tan (6):
trailer: improve const correctness
trailer: use list.h for doubly-linked list
trailer: streamline trailer item create and add
trailer: make args have their own struct
trailer: allow non-trailers in trailer block
trailer: support values folded to multiple lines

Re: [PATCH v2 2/6] trailer: use list.h for doubly-linked list

Quoted 4 lines · Jonathan Tan

Replace the existing handwritten implementation of a doubly-linked list in trailer.c with the functions and macros from list.h. This significantly simplifies the code.
---

The handcrafted one in trailer.c somehow did not use the common practice of using a doubly-linked cycle as a doubly-linked list with a designated fake element as the pointers to the first and to the last elements of the list (instead it used NULL as the "this is the end in this direction" convention just like a common singly-linked list), and this update removes the need for special cases handling the elements at the beginning and at the end that comes from that choice by switching to list.h macros. update_last/update_first can go, two parameters that were passed to point at the variables for the beginning and the end can go, the special cases for the initial condition in add_trailer_item() can go, all thanks to this change.

Very nice.

PATCH v2 3/6 trailer: streamline trailer item create and add

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Currently, creation and addition (to a list) of trailer items are spread across multiple functions. Streamline this by only having 2 functions:
one to parse the user-supplied string, and one to add the parsed information to a list.

PATCH v2 4/6 trailer: make args have their own struct

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Improve type safety by making arguments (whether from configuration or from the command line) have their own "struct arg_item" type, separate from the "struct trailer_item" type used to represent the trailers in the buffer being manipulated.

This change also prepares "struct trailer_item" to be further differentiated from "struct arg_item" in future patches.

PATCH v2 5/6 trailer: allow non-trailers in trailer block

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Currently, interpret-trailers requires all lines of a trailer block to be trailers (or comments) - if not it would not identify that block as a trailer block, and thus create its own trailer block, inserting a blank line. For example:

  echo -e "\na: b\nnot trailer" |
  git interpret-trailers --trailer "c: d"

would result in:

a: b
not trailer

c: d

Relax the definition of a trailer block to only require 1 trailer, so that trailers can be directly added to such blocks, resulting in:

a: b
not trailer
c: d

This allows arbitrary lines to be included in trailer blocks, like those in [1], and still allow interpret-trailers to be used.

This change also makes comments in the trailer block be treated as any other non-trailer line, preserving them in the output of interpret-trailers.

PATCH v2 6/6 trailer: support values folded to multiple lines

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Currently, interpret-trailers requires that a trailer be only on 1 line. For example:

a: first line
second line

would be interpreted as one trailer line followed by one non-trailer line.

Make interpret-trailers support RFC 822-style folding, treating those lines as one logical trailer.

PATCH v3 3/6 trailer: streamline trailer item create and add

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Currently, creation and addition (to a list) of trailer items are spread across multiple functions. Streamline this by only having 2 functions:
one to parse the user-supplied string, and one to add the parsed information to a list.

Re: [PATCH v3 3/6] trailer: streamline trailer item create and add

Quoted 6 lines · Jonathan Tan

Currently, creation and addition (to a list) of trailer items are spread across multiple functions. Streamline this by only having 2 functions:
one to parse the user-supplied string, and one to add the parsed information to a list.

PATCH v3 4/6 trailer: make args have their own struct

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Improve type safety by making arguments (whether from configuration or from the command line) have their own "struct arg_item" type, separate from the "struct trailer_item" type used to represent the trailers in the buffer being manipulated.

This change also prepares "struct trailer_item" to be further differentiated from "struct arg_item" in future patches.

The use of an extra variable here is more readable than my imagined version of inlining to_add into the list_add calls just to save aoe.

Looks good to me.

It probably is not "the only" correct diff, as you actually could shift it the other way by one to three lines. I am not sure which one among four possible diff is the easiest to grok, though. Both the above (picking the highest possible position) and the below (the other extreme) are probably easier to read than anything in between.

PATCH v3 5/6 trailer: allow non-trailers in trailer block

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Currently, interpret-trailers requires all lines of a trailer block to be trailers (or comments) - if not it would not identify that block as a trailer block, and thus create its own trailer block, inserting a blank line. For example:

  echo -e "\na: b\nnot trailer" |
  git interpret-trailers --trailer "c: d"

would result in:

a: b
not trailer

c: d

Relax the definition of a trailer block to only require 1 trailer, so that trailers can be directly added to such blocks, resulting in:

a: b
not trailer
c: d

This allows arbitrary lines to be included in trailer blocks, like those in [1], and still allow interpret-trailers to be used.

This change also makes comments in the trailer block be treated as any other non-trailer line, preserving them in the output of interpret-trailers.

Another made up example, that I'd want to feed
in commit -s eventually:

--8<--
demonstrate colons in Java

First paragraph is not interesting.

Also if using another Language such as Java, where I point out Class::function() to be problematic
--8<--

This would lack the white space between the last paragraph and the Sign off ?

So for this patch I am mostly concerned about false positives hidden in actual text.

Hmph. That's a merge.

Merge branch 'rs/c-auto-resets-attributes'

When "%C(auto)" appears at the very beginning of the pretty format string, it did not need to issue the reset sequence, but it did.

* rs/c-auto-resets-attributes:
pretty: avoid adding reset for %C(auto) if output is empty

And neither of the two colon containing line remotely resembles how a typical RFC-822 header is formatted. So that may serve as a hint to how we can tighten it without introducing false negative.

Yes.

These are exactly why I mentioned "if certian number or percentage" in my earlier suggestion.

I think in practice, "A paragraph with at least one Signed-off-by:
line, and has no more than 3/4 of the (logical) lines that do not resemble how a typical RFC-822 header is formatted" or something along that line would give us a reasonable safety.

I think we should - the use case I had in mind when I started this is the Android Git repository, which does not use Signed-off-by. For example, I quoted this commit in an earlier e-mail [1]:

Ah, sorry, I misread your original suggestion.

Would this work then:
- at least one trailer line generated by Git ("(cherry picked by" or "Signed-off-by: ") or configured in the "trailer" section in git config AND at least 25% logical trailer lines
OR
- 100% logical trailer lines

The first part is your original suggestion except that I think that it is more consistent to allow other trailer lines as well (but I do not feel too strongly about this). The second part would satisfy the Android Git use case above, and also retain existing behavior when "Signed-off-by" (for example) is added to an existing footer that does not contain "Signed-off-by" yet.

What do you think?

Sure.

At that point, I doubt that the latter "100% logical trailer" makes much difference, though, because at least one of them is likely to be in the former set, or the users can easily make it so by throwing what they use like "Bug: ", "Test: " and "Change-ID: " in the "configured in the trailer section" category. FWIW, I do not think we mind terribly to tweak the definition of "generated by Git" class to "commonly used in Git managed projects" to include "Change-ID:" and friends.

PATCH v3 6/6 trailer: support values folded to multiple lines

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Currently, interpret-trailers requires that a trailer be only on 1 line. For example:

a: first line
second line

would be interpreted as one trailer line followed by one non-trailer line.

Make interpret-trailers support RFC 822-style folding, treating those lines as one logical trailer.

v4 cover allow non-trailers and multiple-line trailers

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Main changes are:
- implemented the previously discussed trailer block recognizing rule (recognized trailer + 25% trailers or 100% trailers)
- forbidding leading whitespace in trailers to avoid false positives

Once the recognized trailer + 25% trailers rule is implemented, implementing the 100% trailer rule gives us backwards compatibility and is only a few lines of code, so I included it.

Summary of changes from v3:
2/6->2/8:
- squashed Ramsay Jones's "static" patch
new->5/8:
- new patch
5/6->6/8:
- new trailer block recognizing rule
- reverted to the existing behavior of ignoring comments, since the number of trailers and non-trailers in the trailer block now matters more
new->7/8:
- new patch
6/6->8/8:
- updated trailer block recognizing code, since the continuation lines must not be counted if they follow a trailer line

Jonathan Tan (8):
trailer: improve const correctness
trailer: use list.h for doubly-linked list
trailer: streamline trailer item create and add
trailer: make args have their own struct
trailer: clarify failure modes in parse_trailer
trailer: allow non-trailers in trailer block
trailer: forbid leading whitespace in trailers
trailer: support values folded to multiple lines

PATCH v4 3/8 trailer: streamline trailer item create and add

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Currently, creation and addition (to a list) of trailer items are spread across multiple functions. Streamline this by only having 2 functions:
one to parse the user-supplied string, and one to add the parsed information to a list.

PATCH v4 4/8 trailer: make args have their own struct

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Improve type safety by making arguments (whether from configuration or from the command line) have their own "struct arg_item" type, separate from the "struct trailer_item" type used to represent the trailers in the buffer being manipulated.

This change also prepares "struct trailer_item" to be further differentiated from "struct arg_item" in future patches.

PATCH v4 5/8 trailer: clarify failure modes in parse_trailer

In reply to Jonathan Tan

The parse_trailer function has a few modes of operation, all depending on whether the separator is present in its input, and if yes, the separator's position. Some of these modes are failure modes, and these failure modes are handled differently depending on whether the trailer line was sourced from a file or from a command-line argument.

Extract a function to find the separator, allowing the invokers of parse_trailer to determine how to handle the failure modes instead of making parse_trailer do it.

Hmm, I fear that iterating over a line one-byte-at-a-time and running strchr(separators, *c) on it for each byte has a performance implication over running a single call to strcspn(line, separators).

If we do that, there is also the necessity of creating a string that combines the separators and '=' (I guess '\n' is not necessary now, since all the lines are null terminated). I'm OK either way.

(We could cache that string, although I would think that if we did that, we might as well write the loop manually, like in this patch.)

I wonder if there is a legit reason to look for '=' in the first place. "Signed-off-by= Jonathan Tan <[email protected]>" does not look like a valid trailer line to me.

Isn't that a remnant of lazy coding in the original that tried to share a single parser for contents and command line options or something?

That is true - I think we can take the allowed separators as an argument (meaning that we can have different behavior for file parsing and command line parsing), and since we already have that string, we can use strcspn. I'll try this out in the next reroll.

Sounds good. Thanks.

The following is a tangent that I think this topic should ignore, but we may want to revisit it sometime later.

I think the design of the "separator" mechanism is one of the things we botched in the current system. If I recall correctly, this was introduced to allow people write "Bug# 538" in the trailer section and get it recognised as a valid trailer.

When I say that this was a botched design, I do not mean to say that we should have instead forced projects to adopt "Bug: 538" format. The design is botched because the users' wish to allow "Bug# 538" or "Bug #538" by setting separators to ":#" from the built-in ":" does not mean that they would want "Signed-off-by# me <[email protected]>" to be accepted.

If I were guiding a topic that introduce this feature from scratch today, I would probably suggest a pattern based approach, e.g. a built-in "[-A-Za-z0-9]+:" [*1*] may be the default prefix that is used to recognize the beginning of a trailer, and a user or a project that wants "Bug #538" would be allowed to add an additional pattern, e.g. "Bug *#", that recognises a custom trailer line that is used by the project.

[Footnote]

*1* Or more lenient "[A-Za-z0-9][- A-Za-z0-9]*:".

They made me think that you were against too much flexibility, so I removed functionality that allowed to put separators into the ".key" config options, and now you are saying that we botched the thing and that you would like more flexibility of this kind back.

Anyway I think it is still possible to add back such kind of functionality in a backward compatible way for example by adding ".extendedKey" config options.

Correct. Pay attention to the fact that I said _we_ botched.

If an initial design made by a topic author is crappy, that may be author's botch. Once a topic goes through a review cycle by getting reviewed, rerolled, re-reviewed, ... to the point that those involved accept the result, and we later realize that it was not good, the botch no longer is author's alone. If it is shipped as part of a release, then it is not just the authors and the reviewers but everybody. We collectively stopped at a place that was not ideal and share the blame ;-).

Yup, or with trailer.keyPattern that is multi-values, or with any number of alternatives.

If we do that, there is also the necessity of creating a string that combines the separators and '=' (I guess '\n' is not necessary now, since all the lines are null terminated). I'm OK either way.

(We could cache that string, although I would think that if we did that, we might as well write the loop manually, like in this patch.)

Quoted 7 lines

I wonder if there is a legit reason to look for '=' in the first place. "Signed-off-by= Jonathan Tan <[email protected]>" does not look like a valid trailer line to me.

Isn't that a remnant of lazy coding in the original that tried to share a single parser for contents and command line options or something?

I think the relevant discussion was this one:

I was about to suggest this function can be simplified and maybe even inlined by the use of strspn or strcspn, but I think manual processing of the string is fine, too, as it would not really be shorter.

Quoted 3 lines

Hmm, I fear that iterating over a line one-byte-at-a-time and running strchr(separators, *c) on it for each byte has a performance implication over running a single call to strcspn(line, separators).

(We could cache that string, although I would think that if we did that, we might as well write the loop manually, like in this patch.)

Actually I guess we could generate the separators_and_equal string whenever we obtain new separators from the config. I'll do this in the next reroll.

PATCH v4 6/8 trailer: allow non-trailers in trailer block

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Currently, interpret-trailers requires all lines of a trailer block to be trailers (or comments) - if not it would not identify that block as a trailer block, and thus create its own trailer block, inserting a blank line. For example:

  echo -e "\nSigned-off-by: x\nnot trailer" |
  git interpret-trailers --trailer "c: d"

would result in:

Signed-off-by: x
not trailer

c: d

Relax the definition of a trailer block to require that the trailers (i) are all trailers, or (ii) contain at least one Git-generated trailer and consists of at least 25% trailers.

Signed-off-by: x
not trailer
c: d

(i) is the existing functionality. (ii) allows arbitrary lines to be included in trailer blocks, like those in [1], and still allow interpret-trailers to be used.

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Currently, interpret-trailers allows leading whitespace in trailer lines. This leads to false positives, especially for quoted lines or bullet lists.

Forbid leading whitespace in trailers.

PATCH v4 8/8 trailer: support values folded to multiple lines

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Currently, interpret-trailers requires that a trailer be only on 1 line. For example:

a: first line
second line

would be interpreted as one trailer line followed by one non-trailer line.

Make interpret-trailers support RFC 822-style folding, treating those lines as one logical trailer.

v5 cover allow non-trailers and multiple-line trailers

In reply to Jonathan Tan

I've updated patch 5/8 to use strcspn and to pass in the list of separators, meaning that we no longer accept '=' in file input (and also updated its commit message accordingly).

We also discussed inlining find_separator, but after looking at the code, I think that it is more convenient if find_separator returns -1 when there is no separator, because of the 3 times it is used (as of 8/8), it is checked twice with '>= 1' (since both "no separator" and "string begins with separator" are handled in the same way - treating them as a non-trailer line). So I have left it as its own function.

No other updates.

Replace the existing handwritten implementation of a doubly-linked list in trailer.c with the functions and macros from list.h. This significantly simplifies the code.

PATCH v5 3/8 trailer: streamline trailer item create and add

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Currently, creation and addition (to a list) of trailer items are spread across multiple functions. Streamline this by only having 2 functions:
one to parse the user-supplied string, and one to add the parsed information to a list.

PATCH v5 4/8 trailer: make args have their own struct

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Improve type safety by making arguments (whether from configuration or from the command line) have their own "struct arg_item" type, separate from the "struct trailer_item" type used to represent the trailers in the buffer being manipulated.

This change also prepares "struct trailer_item" to be further differentiated from "struct arg_item" in future patches.

PATCH v5 5/8 trailer: clarify failure modes in parse_trailer

In reply to Jonathan Tan

The parse_trailer function has a few modes of operation, all depending on whether the separator is present in its input, and if yes, the separator's position. Some of these modes are failure modes, and these failure modes are handled differently depending on whether the trailer line was sourced from a file or from a command-line argument.

Extract a function to find the separator, allowing the invokers of parse_trailer to determine how to handle the failure modes instead of making parse_trailer do it. In this function, also take in the list of separators, so that we can distinguish between command line arguments (which allow '=' as separator) and file input (which does not allow '=' as separator).

PATCH v5 6/8 trailer: allow non-trailers in trailer block

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Currently, interpret-trailers requires all lines of a trailer block to be trailers (or comments) - if not it would not identify that block as a trailer block, and thus create its own trailer block, inserting a blank line. For example:

  echo -e "\nSigned-off-by: x\nnot trailer" |
  git interpret-trailers --trailer "c: d"

would result in:

Signed-off-by: x
not trailer

c: d

Relax the definition of a trailer block to require that the trailers (i) are all trailers, or (ii) contain at least one Git-generated trailer and consists of at least 25% trailers.

Signed-off-by: x
not trailer
c: d

(i) is the existing functionality. (ii) allows arbitrary lines to be included in trailer blocks, like those in [1], and still allow interpret-trailers to be used.

PATCH v5 7/8 trailer: forbid leading whitespace in trailers

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Currently, interpret-trailers allows leading whitespace in trailer lines. This leads to false positives, especially for quoted lines or bullet lists.

Forbid leading whitespace in trailers.

PATCH v5 8/8 trailer: support values folded to multiple lines

In reply to Jonathan Tan

Currently, interpret-trailers requires that a trailer be only on 1 line. For example:

a: first line
second line

would be interpreted as one trailer line followed by one non-trailer line.

Make interpret-trailers support RFC 822-style folding, treating those lines as one logical trailer.
