"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. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
