Tell git to look for top-level definitions for diff hunk headers in
Scheme files.

.gitattributes: New file.
.gitconfig: New file.
---
Hello Guix,

This patch improves the diff hunk headers for diffs on scheme files in this
repository.  These settings are always settable (and overridable) on a
per-user basis, but I think having them as defaults is nice.

This may help with patches applying in general, but the main goal is to make
etc/committer.scm a little less brittle.

The default "scheme" function regex (enabled with .gitattributes) recognizes
both toplevel and non-toplevel defines.  I've modified the regex in .gitconfig
to only recognize the toplevel defines.  I think this makes more sense for our
purposes.

Unfortunately, checked-in git config settings cannot be automatically used
(for security reasons), and must be enabled with a once-per-clone

  git config --local include.path ../.gitconfig

which isn't ideal.  I suppose we could make a 'make' target for setup like
this if we wanted to make it easy.

WDYT?

This seems nice to me.

That LGTM too.  Rather than a ‘make’ target, how about a adding a line
or two under “Contributing”?

Thanks,

Tell git where to look for diff hunk headers: top-level definitions for
Scheme files, and (sub)section headers for texi files.

* .gitattributes, etc/git/gitconfig: New files.
* doc/contributing.texi ("Submitting Patches"): Add subsection
"Configuring Git".  Document etc/git/gitconfig.
---
Changes from previous version:

* Added rule for .texi files

* Documented how to use the advanced settings in the manual (as well as some
  other related information)

Note that I am currently working on a rewrite of "Submitting Patches", so
"Configuring Git" will eventually get its own proper subsection.

"tex" is a built-in pattern for LaTeX.  To avoid confusion, I suggest
"texinfo", which is what the Emacs repo uses.

The '=' above should be a space:

  $ git config --local include.path=../etc/git/gitconfig
  error: invalid key: include.path=../etc/git/gitconfig

(This is true in the other examples as well.)

Just thinking aloud: the include.path approach above assumes a clone
with the standard $GIT_DIR and working tree layout, but that seems fine
because users with more unusual setups would know how to adjust it for
their case.  Also, for git-worktree users, the etc/git/gitconfig file in
the main worktree would be used within other worktrees, but for this use
case I doubt that will cause confusion.

I suspect the second variant was included to help those that are using
the git- variant to search (perhaps because that's how they'd refer to
the manpage or because they know about Git's exec path).  Not a big deal
either way, but keeping it around seems okay to me.

Fwiw the Emacs repo sets a simpler value (via autogen.sh):

  ^@node[[:space:]]+([^,[:space:]][^,]+)

Good point.  I was trying to use the built-in because it has a
whitespace regex defined in userdiff.c, but I just found that I can set
that with wordRegex, so I'll do that.  I'll take a look at the Emacs
repo as well.

Thanks for catching this.

I actually wrote about the worktree limitation at first, but I thought
including it would be more confusing to people who don't use them than
it would be helpful to people who do.

Hmmm.  I originally removed it because it results in two entries in the
index.  Perhaps I can index them as

  @cindex @code{git send-email} (or @code{git-send-email})

or similar.  What do you think?

I made this choice because we have several unnumbered subsections
without nodes that are fairly long.  Otherwise, nodes make a good
choice.

Also, their xfuncname will only show the node name as the diff hunk
header--not the whole line.  I also considered this (I think it's
cleaner) but I thought it might be confusing.  If others like it, let's
do it.

I don't see having entries in the index for different variants as an
issue (although I can see the point of view that it's just noise in this
case).  As for packing them into one line, dunno, think I'd just leave
it either as it is (separate lines) or how your patch has it.

But, again, I don't think it matters much either way (and perhaps wasn't
worth me commenting on it :]).

Tell git where to look for diff hunk headers: top-level definitions for
Scheme files, and (sub)section headers for texi files.

* .gitattributes, etc/git/gitconfig: New files.
* doc/contributing.texi ("Submitting Patches"): Add subsection
"Configuring Git".  Document etc/git/gitconfig.
---
Changes since v3 (thanks to Kyle for the suggestions):

* Diff name changed from "tex" to "texinfo"

* "texinfo" diff matches nodes rather than sections (this is what most
texinfo diff drivers seem to do)

* Examples fixed

+
+If you have not done so already, you may wish to set a name and email
+that will be associated with your commits (@pxref{telling git your name,
+, Telling Git your name, git, Git User Manual}).  If you wish to use a
+different name or email just for commits in this respository, you can
+use @command{git config --local}, or edit @file{.git/config} in the
+repository instead of @file{~/.gitconfig}.
+
+We provide some default settings in @file{etc/git/gitconfig} which
+modify how patches are generated, making them easier to read and apply.
+These settings can be applied by manually copying them to
+@file{.git/config} in your checkout, or by telling Git to include the
+whole file:
+
+@example
+git config --local include.path ../etc/git/gitconfig
+@end example
+
+From then on, any changes to @file{etc/git/gitconfig} would
+automatically take effect.
+
+Since the first patch in a series must be sent separately
+(@pxref{Sending a Patch Series}), it can also be helpful to tell
+@command{git format-patch} to handle the e-mail threading instead of
+@command{git send-email}:
+
+@example
+git config --local format.thread shallow
+git config --local sendemail.thread no
+@end example

Hi,

I have one last question:

AFAICS, there’s no Info-format Git manual, is there?  In that case, the
pxref above is incorrect, but we can use @uref instead and/or suggest
‘man git’ or similar.

The rest LGTM, thank you, and thanks Kyle!

Ludo’.

We don't currently build it, but there is.  In the git repo, in
Documentation/Makefile:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
info: git.info gitman.info
[...]
git.info: user-manual.texi
	$(QUIET_MAKEINFO)$(MAKEINFO) --no-split -o $@ user-manual.texi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It's available online at

  https://git-scm.com/docs/user-manual

and

  https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html


My other patch, #50683, adds this reference to htmlxref.cnf.

It looks like this commit contained the documentation changes only.
Fixed in f8b10932c86cf4c1657a67e8c484d76f757b64bd.  :-)
