Subject: [PATCH 2/3] archive: specfile support (--pretty=format: in archive files)

From: René Scharfe <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 03 Sep 2007 20:07:01 +0200

Add support for a new attribute, specfile.  Files marked as being
specfiles are expanded by git-archive when they are written to an
archive.  It has no effect on worktree files.  The same placeholders
as those for the option --pretty=format: of git-log et al. can be
used.

The attribute is useful for creating auto-updating specfiles.  It is
limited by the underlying function format_commit_message(), though.
E.g. currently there is no placeholder for git-describe like output,
and expanded specfiles can't contain NUL bytes.  That can be fixed
in format_commit_message() later and will then benefit users of
git-log, too.

This should already be sufficient for the use case which Michael and
Thomas described a while ago, viz. adding a commit ID file to
generated archives.

Why did it take me that long to come up with such a simple patch?
There was a vacation and a feature freeze in between, but above all
I was only recently able to convince myself (using ugly code) that
format_commit_message() can indeed be made to expand placeholders
to git-describe strings..

+Creating an archive
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+`specfile`
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If the attribute `specfile` is set for a file then git will expand
+several placeholders when adding this file to an archive.  The
+expansion depends on the availability of a commit ID, i.e. if
+gitlink:git-archive[1] has been given a tree instead of a commit or a
+tag then no replacement will be done.  The placeholders are the same
+as those for the option `--pretty=format:` of gitlink:git-log[1].
