Revision 6b3020a241e2c0a1eaa6b74a10a796603bb90975 authored by Jonathan Nieder on 01 December 2010, 18:36:15 UTC, committed by Junio C Hamano on 01 December 2010, 21:40:12 UTC
The "[add] ignore-errors" tweakable introduced by v1.5.6-rc0~30^2 (Add
a config option to ignore errors for git-add, 2008-05-12) does not
follow the usual convention for naming values in the git configuration
file.

What convention?  Glad you asked.

	The section name indicates the affected subsystem.

	The subsection name, if any, indicates which of
	an unbound set of things to set the value for.

	The variable name describes the effect of tweaking
	this knob.

	The section and variable names can be broken into
	words using bumpyCaps in documentation as a hint to
	the reader.  These word breaks are not significant
	at the level of code, since the section and variable
	names are not case sensitive.

The name "add.ignore-errors" includes a dash, meaning a naive
configuration file like

	[add]
		ignoreErrors

does not have any effect.  Avoid such confusion by renaming to the
more consistent add.ignoreErrors, but keep the old version for
backwards compatibility.

/* Help to copy the thing properly quoted for the shell safety.
 * any single quote is replaced with '\'', any exclamation point
 * is replaced with '\!', and the whole thing is enclosed in a
 * single quote pair.
 *
 * For example, if you are passing the result to system() as an
 * argument:
 *
 * sprintf(cmd, "foobar %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1))
 *
 * would be appropriate.  If the system() is going to call ssh to
 * run the command on the other side:
 *
 * sprintf(cmd, "git-diff-tree %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1));
 * sprintf(rcmd, "ssh %s %s", sq_quote(host), sq_quote(cmd));
 *
 * Note that the above examples leak memory!  Remember to free result from
 * sq_quote() in a real application.
 *
 * sq_quote_buf() writes to an existing buffer of specified size; it
 * will return the number of characters that would have been written
 * excluding the final null regardless of the buffer size.
