Subject: git-jump: make `diff` work with filenames containing spaces
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=621ce9c1c6cfe5a6467ef62cb81992b3a318b70e;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

git-jump: make `diff` work with filenames containing spaces

In diff.c, we output a trailing "\t" at the end of any filename that
contains a space:

    case DIFF_SYMBOL_FILEPAIR_PLUS:
            meta = diff_get_color_opt(o, DIFF_METAINFO);
            reset = diff_get_color_opt(o, DIFF_RESET);
            fprintf(o->file, "%s%s+++ %s%s%s\n", diff_line_prefix(o), meta,
                    line, reset,
                    strchr(line, ' ') ? "\t" : "");
            break;

That is, for a file "foo.txt", `git diff --no-prefix` will emit:

    +++ foo.txt

but for "foo bar.txt" it will emit:

    +++ foo bar.txt\t

This in turn leads `git-jump` to produce a quickfix format like this:

    foo bar.txt\t:1:1:contents

Because no "foo bar.txt\t" file actually exists on disk, opening it in
Vim will just land the user in an empty buffer.

This commit takes the simple approach of unconditionally stripping any
trailing tab. Consider the following three examples:

1. For file "foo", Git will emit "foo".
2. For file "foo bar", Git will emit "foo bar\t".
3. For file "foo\t", Git will emit "\"foo\t\"".
4. For file "foo bar\t", Git will emit "\"foo bar\t\"".

Before this commit, `git-jump` correctly handled only case "1".

After this commit, `git-jump` correctly handles cases "1" and "2". In
reality, these are the only cases people are going to run into with any
regularity, and the other two are rare edge cases, which probably aren't
worth the effort to support unless somebody actually complains about
them.
