This intended '\' literally, but it was actually '' because the \'became just ' (backslash-apostrophe becomes just aspostrophe).
This improves consistency, because most were already. For a few itallows backslashes to removed, improving readability. Even for theothers, some editors will highlight them as regular expressions nowthat they are raw string literals.
These are a couple strings that, in addition to not having anyescape sequences, don't represent regular expressions, Windowspaths, or anything else that would be clarified by raw literals.
In the git.diff.Diff class, the _index_from_patch_format and_index_from_raw_format methods' docstrings had still described themas reading from streams, even though they have instead read fromprocesses (and taken "proc", not "stream", arguments) sincegitpython-developers#519when the change was made ina5db3d3 to fix a freezing bug.This updates the docstrings to reflect that they read fromprocesses.
The message refers to the (public) working_tree_dir attribute byname, so that should be uncapitalized to reflect the case by whichit must be accessed, even when it appears at the beginning of asentence.
The git.objects.commit.Commit._deserialize method stopped acceptinga param_from_rev_list argument inae5a69f, but the documentationfor that parameter was never removed.Because that was the only part of the method's docstring, and it isa nonpublic method, and the associated _serialize method does nothave a docstring, this change simply removes the _deserializemethod's docstring without adding anything.
The local (i.e. late) import was removed in7b3ef45, but thecomment about it on (what was) the preceding line has persisteduntil now.
This changes master repositoryto superproject (master repository)in the RootModule class docstring and in the tutorial, to make evenclearer what this is referring to. This way, users who are lessfamiliar with submodules will be less likely to confuse this witha "master" branch (since "master" is one of the popular defaultbranch names), while users who are more familiar with submodulesand may search for the official term "superproject" will find thedocs when doing so.This retains "master repository" parenthesized rather thancompletely replacing it because although "superproject" is theofficial term for this, it is a bit obscure and unintuitive.
Since the hyphen spelling is what the official Git docs use.This change affects only docstrings.
Reference.set_object explains its handling of oldbinsha by quotinga comment from refs.c in the Git source code. However, that commentnow appears in refs/files-backend.c in that codebase. This updatesthe reference so readers can look it up and find the comment in itssurrounding context.The commit to the git project's source code that moved the codethat includes that comment is:git/git@7bd9bcf
This rarely-seen ValueError message had said SymbolicRef, and isnow changed to SymbolicReference.
Since the value of __class__ is a type, comparing it to anothertype object should use "is" rather than "==".Some of these, involving type(), were fixed inbf7af69, but flake8did not catch the .__class__ variation addressed here.
In the git module (including the modules it contains).This also makes one small change in doc/ to synchronize with achange made in a docstring.
The is_cygwin_git function returns False when we have is_win,because is_win is not True on Cygwin systems. The existing commentexplained why, but was tentative. The claims are accurate, so thisrewrites the comment to state it more definitively.
Within the git module.In Python 2, it was necessary to inherit from object to have anew-style class. In Python 3, all classes are new-style classes,and inheritance from object is implied.Usually, removing explicit inheritance from object is only a smallclarity benefit while modernizing Python codebases. However, inGitPython, the benefit is greater, because it is possible toconfuse object (the root of the Python class hierarchy) withObject (the root of the GitPython subhierarchy of classesrepresenting things in the git object model).
Most already were, but a few were strings.
Intentionally untouched test modules in this commit:- Modules where there are no such changes to be made.- Modules in test/performance/ -- will be done separately.- test/lib/ modules (these are test *helpers* and will be done separately).- test/test_util.py, because although it has a few comments that might be improved, it may make more sense to do that together with some further refactoring changes.
It benefits from a docstring because it is not referenced in codeor documentation, and its purpose is/was otherwise unclear.The docstring includes a reference togitpython-developers#1188 for more information.
This modifies content of the strings themselves, but only slightly.- Make an exception message more readable.- Improve spacing of the "python -c" script string in the sys.path test.
This futher improves some wording in docstrings and comments in ahandful of places within the git module.
:return: was used extensively, while :returns: only appeared in twodocstrings.
Changes that fix the message itself:- Add a missing space between words (two parts were concatenated, with no space at the edge of either).- Capitalize "GitPython" since that is the repo and project name.Changes that improve how the message is produced:- Make the entire literal part of the string the format string, instead of formatting the first part and concatenating the second part.- Pass the format string and k_env_git_repo variable as separate arguments to logging.info, so the logging machinery takes care of substituting it for %s, rather than doing the substitution.
This removes the Windows-specific information in the warningmessage in git_daemon_launched.After the associated functionality was updated ingitpython-developers#1684 and thewarning message was abridged accordingly, the functionality wasupdated again ingitpython-developers#1697, causing the message to be outdated and nolonger helpeful (since having git-daemon.exe in a PATH directory isno longer necessary or useful), without any corresponding change tothe message.
In the git module (including modules it contains).This does not add any new "# end" or "# END" comments. Instead, itimproves the consistency and clarity of existing ones by convertingeach "# end" comment to "# END" (since capitalization was not usedsystematically to indicate nesting level or other semanticinformation, and capitalizing "END" makes clear the nature of thecomment), and by adding some information to a few of the comments.This also removes end comments that did not provide information orsignificant visual indication that a "section" was ending, or wherethe visual indication they provided was at least as well providedby replacing them with a blank line. However, it does *not* attemptto apply this change everywhere it might be applicable.
I am glad there is an alternative explanation, and one that makes you appear less like a brand-new AI that is being tested undercover ;).
Depending on what the tool should be like, one can probably start with archived projects to be sure they (most probably) won't change. However, I also think that this should be more like a 'sync' that will pick up changes since the last sync. Maybe this can even allow to 'sync back' certain changes for a two-way connection. Of course, there is a lot of unknowns right now, I am merely dreaming something up 😁.
I really like that idea, and think that once frameworks exists that make certain 'sync' operations tenable it's possible to implement this for various sources without going crazy.
By that time it might even be straightforward enough to run it through a local transformer for actually useful summaries, and maybe more (like intelligence extractions based on a large context window).
That would be a super interesting application of a bot or browser plugin, and I'd not even be that surprised if it already existed somewhere. Whether it's worthwhile or 'good enough', I am also uncertain about.
I'd be happy to support you if you were to learn Rust by implementing a feature in
Yes, having
There is a tool that one dayshould be stable, and that is
select-repo () {local root=~/devecho -n$root/ {cd$root ein --quiet t find }| sk -q"$1"} so I can jump into repositories by fuzzy-searching them. And there is more. Maybe that's where one could add a tool that you always wanted and that coincidentally other may want too.
It sounds like you are working with some sort of patch queue - if so, which one? I useStacked Git.
I think that will be a win-win-win! The third 'win' is for more of the rationale and reasoning going into
Please do also optimize for whatever you think is best, contributing shouldn't be a chore and I'd never want to turn it into one. I admittedly also can't perform review the way I want, as GitHub doesn't make it easy to see which commit contributed to the final result that I am looking at. I also don't review commit by commit, which means I don't usually see or read all commit messages. This is solely a tooling issue though :/, and yes, one day I want to fix that too 😁.
On top of what was already said, it does seem like a tooling issue maybe, or maybe I just misunderstand this entirely. But again, ideally making contributions is fun and I want to do my part to help with that.
I'd consider that a chore as both ideally go away at some point - if there is a breaking change I'd consider, this would be one of them. The other one would have to do with
😁❤️🙏 |
Thanks! There is a substantial chance I will want to do that.
Yes, I believe that is what I'm looking for!
Actually, I am unfamiliar with patch queues. I work on multiple features on multiple branches, and I use stashes, often amend my most recent commit on a feature branch, sometimes rebase, and occasionally cherry-pick. I use various tools to examine repositories, but for performing mutations I just use the available
Perhaps so. In particular, if interactive rebases were extremely fast and easy, I might use them to disseminate insights into commit messages more often. The main feature I might want for this, especially if most information were in commit messages rather than pull requests but really there are many reasons I want this, is automatic rewriting of commit hashes, at least for references to ancestors. If X is on a feature branch, and Y is a descendant of it on the same feature branch, and Y's message refers to X by hash, and I rebase that feature branch onto some ancestor of X (changing X's hash), it would be nice to have an easy way for the reference in Y's commit message to be updated to the new X. Of course there are various edge cases, since there is not always exactly one commit that corresponds to the old X after a rebase.
I don't follow. What I mean to ask here is merely if uses of two-argument |
I truly think you should give As for the commit-rewrite feature, I am sure you could propose it there or contribute it yourself at some point, it seems very doable.
Apologies for causing confusion. I ttried to say that since I'd rather want to remove |
This removes a comment noting that a try-finally block had beenpresent (or had been intended), but was removed because someversion of Python had imposed a limitation on yield appearing intry-finally.That comment was obsolete as of58c5b99 (gitpython-developers#326), which wrapped therelevant code in a with-statement, because:1. Since then, the cleanup is done in a manner equivaent to try-finally.2. It turned out, as noted in that PR, that cleanup had not always been done automatically. (This was contrary to the prediction given in the comment.)3. At some point before that, the limitation that had prevented the use of try-finally no longer affected any supported version of Python. Specifically, it appears the only limitation that this could be was the limitation lifted in Python 2.5, where along with the addition of the close() method which causes try-finally to be called (and is itself called when a generator object is finalized), yield in a try-block with an associated finally-block became permitted, since the call to close() was sufficient to run the finally-block (by raising GeneratorExit). For details, see:https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/2.5.html#pep-342-new-generator-features(This obsolete comment was one of the things I discovered whileworking ongitpython-developers#1725, but I didn't include this change there, havingnot yet looked into the history of the code enough to be sure.)

I had missed these inf78587f (gitpython-developers#1725).
These are "non-reified docstrings" as described ingitpython-developers#1734. They arenot made part of the data model, but most editors will displaythem, including on symbols present in code of other projects thatuse the GitPython library. A number of these have already beenadded, but this adds what will probably be most of the remainingones.For the most part, this doesn't create documentation where therewasn't any, but instead converts existing comments to "docstrings."In a handful of cases, they are expanded, reworded, or a docstringadded.This also fixes some small style inconsistencies that were missedingitpython-developers#1725, and moves a comment that had become inadvertentlydisplaced due to autoformatting to the item it was meant for.The major omission here is HIDE_WINDOWS_KNOWN_ERRORS andHIDE_WINDOWS_FREEZE_ERRORS. This doesn't convert the comments abovethem to "docstrings," for a few reasons. They are not specific toeither of the symbols, they are oriented toward considerations thatare not really relevant except when developing GitPython itself,and they are out of date. Also, because HIDE_WINDOWS_KNOWN_ERRORSis listed in __all__, increasing the level of documentation for itmight be taken as a committment to preserve some aspect of itscurrent behavior, which could interfere with progress ongitpython-developers#790. SoI've kept those comments as comments, and unchanged, for now.

Except for:- git.cmd, where docstrings were revised ina374b8c.- git.types, where docstring changes may best be made together with changes to how imports are organized and documented, which seems not to be in the same scope as the changes in this commit.This change, as well as those ina374b8c, are largely along thelinesgitpython-developers#1725, with most revisions here being to docstrings and a fewbeing to comments.The major differences between the kinds of docstring changes hereand those indgitpython-developers#1725 are that the changes here push somewhat harderfor consistency and apply some kinds of changes I was reluctant toapply widely ingitpython-developers#1725:- Wrap all docstrings and comments to 88 columns, except for parts that are decisively clearer when not wrapped. Note that semi- paragraph changes represented as single newlines are still kept where meaningful, which is one reason this is not always the same effect as automatic wrapping would produce.- Avoid code formatting (double backticks) for headings that precede sections and code blocks. This was done enough that it seems to have been intentional, but it doesn't really have the right semantics, and the documentation is currently rendering in such a way (including on readthedocs.org) where removing that formatting seems clearly better.- References (single backticks with a role prefix) and code spans (double backticks) everywhere applicable, even in the first lines of docstrings.- Single-backticks around parameter names, with no role prefix. These were mostly either formatted that way or emphasized (with asterisks). This is one of the rare cases that I have used single backticks without a role prefix, which ordinarily should be avoided, but to get a role for references to a function's parameters within that function, a plugin would be needed. In the rare case that one function's docstring refers to another function's parameters by names those are double-backticked as code spans (and where applicable the name of the referred-to function is single-backticked with the :func: or :meth: role).- All sections, such as :param blah:, :note:, and :return:, now have a newline before any text in them. This was already often but far from always done, and the style was overall inconsistent. Of consistent approaches that are clear and easy to write, this is the simplest. It also seems to substantially improve readability, when taken together with...- Sections are always separated by a blank line, even if they are very short.- Essentially unlimited use of `~a.b.c`, where applicable, to refer and link to the documentation for a.b.c while showing the text "a" and revealing "a.b.c" on hover. I had previously somewhat limited my use of this tilde notation in case readers of the source code itself (where it is not rendered) weren't familiar with it, but at the cost of less consistency in when an entity was referred to. There remain a couple places in git.util where I do not do this because the explicit form `a <a.b.c>`, which is equivalent, lined things up better and was thus easier to read.Those are the major differences between the approach taken hereand ingitpython-developers#1725, but not necessarily most of the changes done here(many of which are the same kinds of revisions as done there).Note that this commit only modifies some git/*.py files, and thereare more git/**/*.py files that remain to be revised accordingly.

The original problem where the backslash wasn't included in thedocstring at all was fixed in7dd2095 (gitpython-developers#1725), but the backslashstill did not appear in rendered Sphinx documentation, because itwas also treated as a reStructuredText metacharacter.Although that can be addressed by adding a further backslash toescape it, the effect is ambiguous when the docstring is read inthe code. So this just encloses it in a double-backticked codespan instead, which is a somewhat clearer way to show it anyway.
DateTime is not a class here, and the parameter is expected as int.This fixes a documentation bug I introduced incd16a35 (gitpython-developers#1725).

In6126997 (gitpython-developers#1725), I had meant to have the git.objects.tag moduledocstring say that the module defined the TagObject class, to helpensure no one would confuse this with the TagReference class. But Iinstead had it wrongly say it defined the TagReference class! Thisfixes that.
Incd16a35 (gitpython-developers#1725), I had taken "Treeish" to mean the type of thatexact name, git.index.base.Treeish. But that type is only usedwithin the git.index package (actually only in git.index.baseitself). It is also nonpublic: git.index.base.__all__ exists anddoes not list it.So most likely this was not intended in the git.diff.Diffable.diffdocstring. Even if intended, it does not appear accurate, since thegit.index.base.Treeish union includes bytes, and the logic inDiffable.diff and its helpers does not appear to accommodate bytes.A closer type is the public git.types.Tree_ish union, which isnarrower than git.index.base.Treeish, including neither str norbytes. However, it does not include str, and Diffable.diff doesaccept str to specify a tree-ish for diff-ing. It may be that"Treeish" in the pre-gitpython-developers#1725 docstring was capitalized for somereason other than to identify a type defined in GitPython's code.For now, I've changed it to refer to git.types.Tree_ish, but alsoexplicitly documented that a string can be used to specify atree-ish -- which is independently valuable, since previously theeffect of passing a str instance to the diff method was not statedanywhere in the method docstring. To clarify further, I included alink to tree-ish in gitglossary(7) as well.In addition, the original wording beforecd16a35 had included"(type)", which I had erroneously assumed was just meant to statethat it is a type (i.e. a class), so I had wrongly removed itwithout replacing it with anything when making it into a referenceto a type. But it was really an attempt to clarify thatDiffable.Index should be used directly, rather than an instance ofit. That is in effect the opposite of merely pointing out that itis a class; it is to express that it should be used in a way thatdoes not depend in any way on it being a class. This commit has thedocstring explicitly state that.

OnWindows, GitPython uses an untrusted search path if it uses a shell torun `git`, as well as when it runs `bash.exe` to interpret hooks. Ifeither of those features are used on Windows, a malicious `git.exe` or`bash.exe` may be run from an untrusted repository.### DetailsAlthough GitPython often avoids executing programs found in an untrustedsearch path since 3.1.33, two situations remain where this still occurs.Either can allow arbitrary code execution under some circumstances.#### When a shell is usedGitPython can be told to run `git` commands through a shell rather thanas direct subprocesses, by passing `shell=True` to any method thataccepts it, or by both setting `Git.USE_SHELL = True` and not passing`shell=False`. Then the Windows `cmd.exe` shell process performs thepath search, and GitPython does not prevent that shell from finding andrunning `git` in the current directory.When GitPython runs `git` directly rather than through a shell, theGitPython process performs the path search, and currently omits thecurrent directory by setting `NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath` in itsown environment during the `Popen` call. Although the `cmd.exe` shellwill honor this environment variable when present, GitPython does notcurrently pass it into the shell subprocess's environment.Furthermore, because GitPython sets the subprocess CWD to the root of arepository's working tree, using a shell will run a malicious `git.exe`in an untrusted repository even if GitPython itself is run from atrusted location.This also applies if `Git.execute` is called directly with `shell=True`(or after `Git.USE_SHELL = True`) to run any command.#### When hook scripts are runOn Windows, GitPython uses `bash.exe` to run hooks that appear to bescripts. However, unlike when running `git`, no steps are taken to avoidfinding and running `bash.exe` in the current directory.This allows the author of an untrusted fork or branch to cause amalicious `bash.exe` to be run in some otherwise safe workflows. Anexample of such a scenario is if the user installs a trusted hook whileon a trusted branch, then switches to an untrusted feature branch(possibly from a fork) to review proposed changes. If the untrustedfeature branch contains a malicious `bash.exe` and the user's currentworking directory is the working tree, and the user performs an actionthat runs the hook, then although the hook itself is uncorrupted, itruns with the malicious `bash.exe`.Note that, while `bash.exe` is a shell, this is a separate scenario fromwhen `git` is run using the unrelated Windows `cmd.exe` shell.### PoCOn Windows, create a `git.exe` file in a repository. Then create a`Repo` object, and call any method through it (directly or indirectly)that supports the `shell` keyword argument with `shell=True`:```powershellmkdir testrepogit init testrepocp ... testrepo git.exe # Replace "..." with any executable of choice.python -c "import git; print(git.Repo('testrepo').git.version(shell=True))"```The `git.exe` executable in the repository directory will be run.Or use no `Repo` object, but do it from the location with the `git.exe`:```powershellcd testrepopython -c "import git; print(git.Git().version(shell=True))"```The `git.exe` executable in the current directory will be run.For the scenario with hooks, install a hook in a repository, create a`bash.exe` file in the current directory, and perform an operation thatcauses GitPython to attempt to run the hook:```powershellmkdir testrepocd testrepogit initmv .git/hooks/pre-commit.sample .git/hooks/pre-commitcp ... bash.exe # Replace "..." with any executable of choice.echo "Some text" >file.txtgit add file.txtpython -c "import git; git.Repo().index.commit('Some message')"```The `bash.exe` executable in the current directory will be run.### ImpactThe greatest impact is probably in applications that set `Git.USE_SHELL= True` for historical reasons. (Undesired console windows had, in thepast, been created in some kinds of applications, when it was not used.)Such an application may be vulnerable to arbitrary code execution from amalicious repository, even with no other exacerbating conditions. Thisis to say that, if a shell is used to run `git`, the full effect ofCVE-2023-40590 is still present. Furthermore, as noted above, runningthe application itself from a trusted directory is not a sufficientmitigation.An application that does not direct GitPython to use a shell to run`git` subprocesses thus avoids most of the risk. However, there is nosuch straightforward way to prevent GitPython from running `bash.exe` tointerpret hooks. So while the conditions needed for that to be exploitedare more involved, it may be harder to mitigate decisively prior topatching.### Possible solutionsA straightforward approach would be to address each bug directly:- When a shell is used, pass `NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath` intothe subprocess environment, because in that scenario the subprocess isthe `cmd.exe` shell that itself performs the path search.- Set `NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath` in the GitPython processenvironment during the `Popen` call made to run hooks with a `bash.exe`subprocess.These need only be done on Windows.---### Release Notes<details><summary>gitpython-developers/GitPython (GitPython)</summary>###[`v3.1.41`](https://togithub.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/releases/tag/3.1.41):- fix Windows

Uh oh!
There was an error while loading.Please reload this page.
This revises comments and docstrings, to improve clarity, readability, stylistic consistency, in some cases accuracy, and (for docstrings) Sphinx formatting and cross-linking. It also contains a few other related changes.
Short summary of the most notable changes
In both comments and docstrings, my changes included rewording for clarity, as well as changes in capitalization, punctuation, and so forth.
For comments, which were in a variety of styles, I converted them to be sentences (or in some cases fragments formatted as sentences), except in a minority of cases when doing so seemed like it would worsen readability. I did this because, in addition to improving stylistic consistency and being encouraged by PEP-8, this tended to make their structure clearer (especially in cases of comments over multiple lines that were convertible to multiple separate sentences). This comment style was also one of the styles already represented throughout the codebase.
For docstrings, there were a number of places where the formatting looked one way when reading the raw docstring, but very different, and arguably less readable, as rendered by Sphinx. In cases where this was clearly unintended and the effect was significant, such as markup that was intended to represent an unordered list but instead represented a running paragraph with literal asterisks, I fixed the formatting. In cases where the intent was less clear, such as non-wrapping newlines conveying a break more major than that between sentences but less major than that between paragraphs, I preserved the style where possible but did not make changes to cause it to be newly reflected in rendered documentation.
Kinds of other changes
There are also some other changes, described below, including somecode changes, mainly for clarity, that I believe to be sufficiently related or where there is otherwise a reason to include them here rather than proposing them separately.
Some specific changes (not to code) are described in commit messages but not this PR description, but this is noted below. Specifically, a handful of changes to docstrings are for accuracy, and to allow them to carry specific rationales and to be reviewed individually, they each have individual commits and are not currently relisted here.
Line length in docstrings
I found that many docstrings were already written, or almost entirely written, with a hard wrap of 88 columns. It makes sense that this would be done, because it is the
black
default, even thoughblack
does not enforce line length in docstrings, and furthermore the maximum line length this this project has been set at the much higher 120 columns. I think that a width of 120, or even 100, in docstrings, reduces readability when reading the docstrings in the code (of course it does not affect what Sphinx renders), so this is probably another reason a smaller width was used in most cases.Where width was consistent, as well as where making it consistent didn't seem like it would improve readability, I left it alone. Otherwise, I prioritized consistency within each docstring and with nearby docstrings, but overall (when making changes that would justify it) preferred the prevailing 88 column width. To amuch lesser extent, I preferred a width of 88 columns for comments, but only where that style was otherwise being used. I did not format code to make it narrower. We may want to reduce the
black
maximum line length from 120 to 100 or even the default of 88, but I definitely would consider that beyond the scope of this PR.Documentation generated from tests
This includes changes to comments in portions of the two test modules from which documentation is generated. This is not special, but I wanted to note it here to properly characterize what parts of the generated documentation are and are not affected.
Other documentation - only one small change
Although most of the the docstring changes affect generated documentation, and the documentation in
doc/
should also be revised and updated (and in some places stands to benefit more from such changes than anything here), the purpose of this pull request is not to revise or update the separate documentation indoc/
.This does include one change to the contents of
doc/
, to avoid introducing an inconsistency when rewording a docstring for clarity whose wording was also used in the tutorial. Other that that and a change inconf.py
, it does not modify any tracked files indoc/
.How the changes are divided into commits
Formatting, rewording, and style changes such as to capitalization and punctuation, as well as the repair and introduction of Sphinx cross-linking changes and code-formatting changes (such as placing every multi-paragraph docstring's closing
"""
on its own line) are done in a small number of commits, most pertaining to organizational sections of the code.In contrast, accuracy improvements, even though they account for a much smaller volume of change, are each done in their own commit, so they can havecommit messages that explain their rationale and to make them easier to review.
Although I had considered describing each of those changes here, I have not thought of a way to do so that I think would clearly be more useful than the commit messages themselves. Furthermore, this description is already rather long. So I have not reproduced that information here. However, I would be pleased to expand this PR description on request, either about that or in other ways.
What is omitted
In areas where accuracy might be improved but it is unclear how, or where reviewing the changes seems like it would be easier done separately, or where the changes should be accompanied by code changes that themselves are not natural to include here, I have omitted such changes entirely from this pull request. (One such area I discovered while working on this but did not include in it was#1712, which I instead fixed in#1714.)
The changes in this PR are probably incomplete, in the sense that I most likely have missed some things.
In some areas, I have avoided making changes that I anticipate would create conflicts, or other confusion, with work I have on other feature branches that I plan to open PRs for soon. In practice, the only major omission that arises due to this is in
test/test_util.py
, which is mostly unrevised since I intend to propose changes there soon, for makingxfail
markings more precise, that will involve reorganizing that code.Changes to code
Finally, please note thatthis PR does contain some code changes. They are as follows:
r
andR
respectively). Commit messages contain further information about this. Conceptually, I felt this came along with fixing docstring bugs where'\'
was intended to represent itself literally but instead represented''
because a non-raw docstring turned\'
into'
. There is also an argument to be made that strings are the core concept of this pull request (hence the branch name).object
is removed. This is a legacy of Python 2, where it was needed to make a new-style class. This project no longer supports (and is already considerably incompatible with) Python 2, and in Python 3 all classes are new-style classes. The reason this is a clarity improvement sufficiently related to documentation that it seemed appropriate to include here is that GitPython has anObject
class that could be confused withobject
.x.__class__ == t
are changed tox.__class__ is t
. In#1673, I fixed the corresponding problem fortype(x) == t
, butflake8
does not detect the.__class__
variant. The reason this change isconvenient here is that most of these changes were on the same or an adjacent line to something I was already changing, so making them separately would in most cases have incurred a conflict. But the reason I think it'sreasonable to include this here is that a number of GitPython's objects havetype
attributes that pertain to Git and GitPython's data model rather than to the Python object model, and that hold strings that are (correctly) compared with==
. Comparingx.__class__
withis
, as the relatedtype(x)
is compared but as the unrelatedx.type
is not compared, makes the distinction easier to heed, I think.__slots__ = "slot"
for a single slotslot
, but it is discouraged in preference for__slots__ = ("slot",)
, which was already being done in most cases. I fixed the few occurrences of the former to bring them in line with that.Although readability would be further improved by replacing two-argument
super
calls with zero-argumentsuper()
--which is also something Python 3 adds that is related to new-style classes and thus arguably beckoned by those last three bullet points--I have omitted this. The reason is that this change would require special attention in review to ensure that it is only done in cases where the meaning of the code is not changed. (That is likely every occurrence ofsuper
in the whole repository, but they would still have to be checked individually.)
