Module attributes 

Gitattributes parsing and pattern matching for check-attr and validation.

Implements Git-consistent rule ordering, macro expansion ([attr]), binary expansion, ** globbing via crate::wildmatch, and optional case folding for core.ignorecase.

Structs

AttrRule

One line in a gitattributes file.

MacroTable

Macro definitions from [attr]name ... lines.

ParsedGitAttributes

Result of parsing a gitattributes file.

Enums

AttrValue

Parsed attribute value for display (check-attr output).

Constants

MAX_ATTR_FILE_BYTES

Maximum .gitattributes file size (bytes) before Git ignores the file.

MAX_ATTR_LINE_BYTES

Maximum length of a single .gitattributes line (bytes), matching Git (ATTR_MAX_LINE_LENGTH). Lines of this length or longer are ignored with a warning.

Functions

attr_rule_applies_to_path

Whether a rule from dir/.gitattributes may apply to rel_path (Git prepare_attr_stack).

attr_rule_matches

Match one parsed rule against a repo-relative path (Git path_matches / attr.c).

builtin_objectmode_index

builtin_objectmode from the index when --cached is used.

builtin_objectmode_worktree

Return builtin_objectmode value for a path (working tree), or None if unavailable.

builtin_warnings_for_rules

Collect warnings for invalid builtin_* assignments (check-attr continues).

collect_attrs_for_path

Merge assignments: later rules override earlier; within one expanded rule, last wins.

is_reserved_builtin_name

Returns true if name is reserved (builtin_* except the real builtin names Git allows).

load_gitattributes_bare

Bare repository: only info/attributes from disk (no in-repo .gitattributes file).

load_gitattributes_for_diff

Load merged .gitattributes rules for diff and merge (respects GIT_ATTR_SOURCE / attr.tree).

load_gitattributes_from_index

Load attributes from the index (stage 0) for .gitattributes paths only.

load_gitattributes_from_tree

Read .gitattributes blob from a tree object at tree_oid, recursively.

load_gitattributes_stack

Load the full stack of attribute rules for a normal repository (working tree).

normalize_rel_path

Normalize . / .. segments in a repo-relative path string.

parse_gitattributes_file_content

Parse one gitattributes file from disk (patterns are relative to attr_base, the directory containing the file — use "" for the repository root file).

parse_gitattributes_file_content_with_base

Parse attributes defined in a .gitattributes file located in attr_base (repo-relative, / separators, no trailing slash; empty string for the repository root).

path_relative_to_worktree

Resolve a user path to a repo-relative path (forward slashes).

quote_path_for_check_attr

Quote a path for check-attr output (C-style) when needed.

resolve_attr_treeish

Resolve attr.tree, GIT_ATTR_SOURCE, --source precedence for check-attr.

resolve_tree_oid

Parse a revision to a tree OID for attribute loading.

validate_rules_for_add

Validate user-defined attribute names in parsed rules (for git add).
