Unlike previous conversions to C, where we started with a built-in helper, we start this conversion by adding an interception in the `run_add_interactive()` function when the new opt-in `add.interactive.useBuiltin` config knob is turned on (or the corresponding environment variable `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN`), and calling the new internal API function `run_add_i()` that is implemented directly in libgit.a. At this point, the built-in version of `git add -i` only states that it cannot do anything yet. In subsequent patches/patch series, the `run_add_i()` function will gain more and more functionality, until it is feature complete. The whole arc of the conversion can be found in the PRs #170-175 at https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git. The "--helper approach" can unfortunately not be used here: on Windows we face the very specific problem that a `system()` call in Perl seems to close `stdin` in the parent process when the spawned process consumes even one character from `stdin`. Which prevents us from implementing the main loop in C and still trying to hand off to the Perl script. The very real downside of the approach we have to take here is that the test suite won't pass with `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN=true` until the conversion is complete (the `--helper` approach would have let it pass, even at each of the incremental conversion steps).

add.ignoreErrors::
|
|
add.ignore-errors (deprecated)::
|
|
Tells 'git add' to continue adding files when some files cannot be
|
|
added due to indexing errors. Equivalent to the `--ignore-errors`
|
|
option of linkgit:git-add[1]. `add.ignore-errors` is deprecated,
|
|
as it does not follow the usual naming convention for configuration
|
|
variables.
|
|
|
|
add.interactive.useBuiltin::
|
|
[EXPERIMENTAL] Set to `true` to use the experimental built-in
|
|
implementation of the interactive version of linkgit:git-add[1]
|
|
instead of the Perl script version. Is `false` by default.
