[PATCH 1/3] t7006: add tests for how git config paginates

From: Martin Ågren <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-11 16:40:39

The next couple of commits will change how `git config` handles
`pager.config`, similar to how de121ffe5 (tag: respect `pager.tag` in
list-mode only, 2017-08-02) and ff1e72483 (tag: change default of
`pager.tag` to "on", 2017-08-02) changed `git tag`. Similar work has
also been done to `git branch`.

Add tests in this area to make sure that we don't regress and so that
the upcoming commits can be made clearer by adapting the tests. Add some
tests for `--list` and `--get`, one for `--edit`, and one for simple
config-setting.

In particular, use `test_expect_failure` to document that we currently
respect the pager-configuration with `--edit`. The current behavior is
buggy since the pager interferes with the editor and makes the end
result completely broken. See also b3ee740c8 (t7006: add tests for how
git tag paginates, 2017-08-02).

Remove the test added in commit 3ba7e6e29a (config: run
setup_git_directory_gently() sooner, 2010-08-05) since it has some
overlap with these. We could leave it or tweak it, or place new tests
like these next to it, but let's instead make the tests for `git config`
similar to the ones for `git tag` and `git branch`, and place them after
those.

[PATCH 2/3] config: respect `pager.config` in list/get-mode only

From: Martin Ågren <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-11 16:40:45

Similar to de121ffe5 (tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only,
2017-08-02), use the DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG-mechanism to only respect
`pager.config` when we are listing or "get"ing config.

Some getters give at most one line of output, but it is much easier to
document and understand that we page all of --get[-*] and --list, than
to divide the (current and future) getters into "pages" and "doesn't".

This fixes the failing test added in the previous commit. Also adapt the
test for whether `git config foo.bar bar` respects `pager.config`.

[PATCH 3/3] config: change default of `pager.config` to "on"

From: Martin Ågren <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-11 16:40:49

This is similar to ff1e72483 (tag: change default of `pager.tag` to
"on", 2017-08-02) and is safe now that we do not consider `pager.config`
at all when we are not listing or getting configuration. This change
will help with listing large configurations, but will not hurt users of
`git config --edit` as it would have before the previous commit.

Well, there was one recent instance of a misconfigured LESS causing the
pager not to quit automatically [1]. Your "Trading"-sentence does argue
nicely for rethinking my approach here.

A tweaked behavior could be documented as something like:

    `pager.config` is only respected when listing configuration, i.e.,
    when using `--list` or any of the `--get-*` which may return
    multiple results.

Maybe it doesn't look to complicated after all. I'd rather not give any
ideas about how we only page if there *are* more than one line of
result, i.e., that we'd examine the result before turning on the pager.
I think I've avoided that misconception here.

Thanks

[PATCH v2 0/3] Re: t7006: add tests for how git config paginates

From: Martin Ågren <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-21 18:52:04

This is v2 of my series to teach `git config` to only respect
`pager.config` when listing configuration, then changing the default to
"on". Thanks to Duy and Junio for feedback on the first version.

Based on Duy's feeback, I've changed the approach to more carefully
divide the various getters into "may produce multiple lines, so let's
page" vs "may not, so don't".

Junio hesitated whether we should add tests using `test_expect_success`,
then flip the test-definition, or whether we should start with a
"failure" that we then flip to "success". I have not done anything about
that, except to try and motivate the choice better in the commit message
of the second patch.

[PATCH v2 1/3] t7006: add tests for how git config paginates

From: Martin Ågren <hidden>

The next couple of commits will change how `git config` handles
`pager.config`, similar to how de121ffe5 (tag: respect `pager.tag` in
list-mode only, 2017-08-02) and ff1e72483 (tag: change default of
`pager.tag` to "on", 2017-08-02) changed `git tag`. Similar work has
also been done to `git branch`.

Add tests in this area to make sure that we don't regress and so that
the upcoming commits can be made clearer by adapting the tests. Add
tests for simple config-setting, `--edit`, `--get`, `--get-urlmatch`,
`get-all`, and `--list`. Those represent a fair portion of the various
options that will be affected by the next two commits.

Use `test_expect_failure` to document that we currently respect the
pager-configuration with `--edit`. The current behavior is buggy since
the pager interferes with the editor and makes the end result completely
broken. See also b3ee740c8 (t7006: add tests for how git tag paginates,
2017-08-02).

The next commit will teach simple config-setting and `--get` to ignore
`pager.config`. Test the current behavior as "success", not "failure",
since the currently expected behavior according to documentation would
be to page. The next commit will change that expectation by updating the
documentation on `git config` and will redefine those successful tests.

Remove the test added in commit 3ba7e6e29a (config: run
setup_git_directory_gently() sooner, 2010-08-05) since it has some
overlap with these. We could leave it or tweak it, or place new tests
like these next to it, but let's instead make the tests for `git config`
as similar as possible to the ones for `git tag` and `git branch`, and
place them after those.

[PATCH v2 2/3] config: respect `pager.config` in list/get-mode only

From: Martin Ågren <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-21 18:52:11

Similar to de121ffe5 (tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only,
2017-08-02), use the DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG-mechanism to only respect
`pager.config` when we are listing or "get"ing config.

We have several getters and some are guaranteed to give at most one line
of output. Paging all getters including those could be convenient from a
documentation point-of-view. The downside would be that a misconfigured
or not so modern pager might wait for user interaction before
terminating. Let's instead respect the config for precisely those
getters which may produce more than one line of output.

`--get-urlmatch` may or may not produce multiple lines of output,
depending on the exact usage. Let's not try to recognize the two modes,
but instead make `--get-urlmatch` always respect the config. Analyzing
the detailed usage might be trivial enough here, but could establish a
precedent that we will never be able to enforce throughout the codebase
and that will just open a can of worms.

This fixes the failing test added in the previous commit. Also adapt the
test for whether `git config foo.bar bar` and `git config --get foo.bar`
respects `pager.config`.

[PATCH v2 3/3] config: change default of `pager.config` to "on"

From: Martin Ågren <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-21 18:52:16

This is similar to ff1e72483 (tag: change default of `pager.tag` to
"on", 2017-08-02) and is safe now that we do not consider `pager.config`
at all when we are not listing or getting configuration. This change
will help with listing large configurations, but will not hurt users of
`git config --edit` as it would have before the previous commit.

 -------------
 `pager.config` is only respected when listing configuration, i.e., when
 using `--list` or any of the `--get-*` which may return multiple results.
+The default is to use a pager.
