Jeff King	f272696a35	t0021: use $PERL_PATH for rot13-filter.pl The rot13-filter.pl script hardcodes "#!/usr/bin/perl", and does not respect $PERL_PATH at all. That is a problem if the system does not have perl at that path, or if it has a perl that is too old to run a complicated script like the rot13-filter (but PERL_PATH points to a more modern one). We can fix this by using write_script() to create a new copy of the script with the correct #!-line. In theory we could move the whole script inside t0021-conversion.sh rather than having it as an auxiliary file, but it's long enough that it just makes things harder to read. As a bonus, we can stop using the full path to the script in the filter-process config we add (because the trash directory is in our PATH). Not only is this shorter, but it sidesteps any shell-quoting issues. The original was broken when $TEST_DIRECTORY contained a space, because it was interpolated in the outer script.

Lars Schneider	edcc85814c	convert: add filter.<driver>.process option Git's clean/smudge mechanism invokes an external filter process for every single blob that is affected by a filter. If Git filters a lot of blobs then the startup time of the external filter processes can become a significant part of the overall Git execution time. In a preliminary performance test this developer used a clean/smudge filter written in golang to filter 12,000 files.

See details here: https://github.com/github/git-lfs/pull/1382 This patch adds the `filter.<driver>.process` string option which, if used, keeps the external filter process running and processes all blobs with the packet format (pkt-line) based protocol over standard input and standard output. The full protocol is explained in detail in `Documentation/gitattributes.txt`. A few key decisions: * The long running filter process is referred to as filter protocol version 2 because the existing single shot filter invocation is considered version 1. * Git sends a welcome message and expects a response right after the external filter process has started. This ensures that Git will not hang if a version 1 filter is incorrectly used with the filter.<driver>.process option for version 2 filters. In addition, Git can detect this kind of error and warn the user. * The status of a filter operation (e.g. "success" or "error) is set before the actual response and (if necessary!) re-set after the response. The advantage of this two step status response is that if the filter detects an error early, then the filter can communicate this and Git does not even need to create structures to read the response. * All status responses are pkt-line lists terminated with a flush packet. This allows us to send other status fields with the same protocol in the future.

t0021: use $PERL_PATH for rot13-filter.pl

The rot13-filter.pl script hardcodes "#!/usr/bin/perl", and
does not respect $PERL_PATH at all. That is a problem if the
system does not have perl at that path, or if it has a perl
that is too old to run a complicated script like the
rot13-filter (but PERL_PATH points to a more modern one).

We can fix this by using write_script() to create a new copy
of the script with the correct #!-line. In theory we could
move the whole script inside t0021-conversion.sh rather than
having it as an auxiliary file, but it's long enough that
it just makes things harder to read.

As a bonus, we can stop using the full path to the script in
the filter-process config we add (because the trash
directory is in our PATH). Not only is this shorter, but it
sidesteps any shell-quoting issues. The original was broken
when $TEST_DIRECTORY contained a space, because it was
interpolated in the outer script.

convert: add filter.<driver>.process option

Git's clean/smudge mechanism invokes an external filter process for
every single blob that is affected by a filter. If Git filters a lot of
blobs then the startup time of the external filter processes can become
a significant part of the overall Git execution time.

In a preliminary performance test this developer used a clean/smudge
filter written in golang to filter 12,000 files. This process took 364s
with the existing filter mechanism and 5s with the new mechanism. See
details here: https://github.com/github/git-lfs/pull/1382

This patch adds the `filter.<driver>.process` string option which, if
used, keeps the external filter process running and processes all blobs
with the packet format (pkt-line) based protocol over standard input and
standard output. The full protocol is explained in detail in
`Documentation/gitattributes.txt`.

A few key decisions:

* The long running filter process is referred to as filter protocol
  version 2 because the existing single shot filter invocation is
  considered version 1.
* Git sends a welcome message and expects a response right after the
  external filter process has started. This ensures that Git will not
  hang if a version 1 filter is incorrectly used with the
  filter.<driver>.process option for version 2 filters. In addition,
  Git can detect this kind of error and warn the user.
* The status of a filter operation (e.g. "success" or "error) is set
  before the actual response and (if necessary!) re-set after the
  response. The advantage of this two step status response is that if
  the filter detects an error early, then the filter can communicate
  this and Git does not even need to create structures to read the
  response.
* All status responses are pkt-line lists terminated with a flush
  packet. This allows us to send other status fields with the same
  protocol in the future.
