[PATCH v6 00/13] Git filter protocol

From
larsxschneider@gmail.com <larsxschneider@gmail.com>
Date
Aug 25, 2016, 11:07 UTC
Message-ID
<20160825110752.31581-1-larsxschneider@gmail.com>
From: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@gmail.com>

The goal of this series is to avoid launching a new clean/smudge filter process for each file that is filtered.

A short summary about v1 to v5 can be found here: https://git.github.io/rev_news/2016/08/17/edition-18/

This series is also published on web: https://github.com/larsxschneider/git/pull/10

Thanks a lot for your reviews, Lars

## Changes since v5
### Peff
* http://public-inbox.org/git/20160810131541.ovpvgwdxjibae5gy%40sigill.intra.peff.net/
    * drop patch "pkt-line: add `gentle` parameter to format_packet()"
* http://public-inbox.org/git/20160810143321.q7mjirgr5ynml5ff@sigill.intra.peff.net/
    * drop patch "pkt-line: call packet_trace() only if a packet is actually send"
* http://public-inbox.org/git/20160810132814.gqnipsdwyzjmuqjy%40sigill.intra.peff.net/
    * make pkt-line write buffer static
    * replace PKTLINE_DATA_MAXLEN with sizeof(packet_write_buffer) - 4)
      in pkt-line.c to --> makes it easier to see that things are correct
* http://public-inbox.org/git/20160810133745.wagccvvf35o3pbwb%40sigill.intra.peff.net/
    * check max content length before using packet_write_fmt_gently()
### Junio
* http://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqpopg5yqf.fsf%40gitster.mtv.corp.google.com/
    *  change packet_write_gently_fmt() to packet_write_fmt_gently()
* http://public-inbox.org/git/xmqq8tw45vtg.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com/
    * rename packet_write() to packet_write_fmt() before adding new functions
## Stefan
* http://public-inbox.org/git/CAGZ79kboxgBRHSa2s7CKZ1Uo%3D13WT%3DrT8VHCNJNj_Q9jQzZAYw%40mail.gmail.com/
    * state more clearly that everything after version=2 is specific to version=2
    * do not duplicate protocol in commit message,
      summarize design decisions instead
    * use single line comment
    * remove unnessary braces
## Dscho
* http://public-inbox.org/git/alpine.DEB.2.20.1608181617240.4924@virtualbox/
    * wrap commit messages at 72
