Jeff King c334b87b30 cat-file: split --batch input lines on whitespace If we get an input line to --batch or --batch-check that looks like "HEAD foo bar", we will currently feed the whole thing to get_sha1(). This means that to use --batch-check with `rev-list --objects`, one must pre-process the input, like: git rev-list --objects HEAD \| cut -d' ' -f1 \| git cat-file --batch-check Besides being more typing and slightly less efficient to invoke `cut`, the result loses information: we no longer know which path each object was found at. This patch teaches cat-file to split input lines at the first whitespace. Everything to the left of the whitespace is considered an object name, and everything to the right is made available as the %(reset) atom. So you can now do: git rev-list --objects HEAD \| git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize) %(rest)' to collect object sizes at particular paths. Even if %(rest) is not used, we always do the whitespace split (which means you can simply eliminate the `cut` command from the first example above). This whitespace split is backwards compatible for any reasonable input. Object names cannot contain spaces, so any input with spaces would have resulted in a "missing" line. The only input hurt is if somebody really expected input of the form "HEAD is a fine-looking ref!" to fail; it will now parse HEAD, and make "is a fine-looking ref!" available as %(rest).

	Git - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list.  The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
