There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks!
Just a minor suggestion about the format of the message.
BTW there's also talk over in Git for Windows that the quoting might be incorrect for PowerShell/CMD and how to address that, but nothing conclusive came out of it. Once it does (if it does), we will want to touch this error message, too.
There are many reasons why discovering a Git directory may fail. In particular, 8959555 (setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for the top-level directory, 2022-03-02) added ownership checks as a security precaution. Callers attempting to set up a Git directory may want to inform the user about the reason for the failure. For that, expose the enum discovery_result from within setup.c and into cache.h where discover_git_directory() is defined. I initially wanted to change the return type of discover_git_directory() to be this enum, but several callers rely upon the "zero means success". The two problems with this are: 1. The zero value of the enum is actually GIT_DIR_NONE, so nonpositive results are errors. 2. There are multiple successful states, so some positive results are successful. Instead of updating all callers immediately, add a new method, discover_git_directory_reason(), and convert discover_git_directory() to be a thin shim on top of it. Because there are extra checks that discover_git_directory_reason() does after setup_git_directory_gently_1(), there are other modes that can be returned for failure states. Add these modes to the enum, but be sure to explicitly add them as BUG() states in the switch of setup_git_directory_gently(). Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

In the meantime, I integrated #509 so that the CI should pass again. |
When running 'scalar reconfigure -a', such as at install time, Scalar has warning messages about the repository missing (or not containing a .git directory). Failures can also happen while trying to modify the repository-local config for that repository. These warnings may seem confusing to users who don't understand what they mean or how to stop them. Add a warning that instructs the user how to remove the warning in future installations. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>
