Package: git
Version: 1:2.18.0~rc2-1
Severity: serious
Justification: breaks dgit test suite, breaks existing attempts not to corrupt
data
Firstly, apologies for filing this bug as RC. I wanted to prevent the
new git migrating. It breaks the dgit autopkgtest. For reasons I
don't understand, ci.debian.net thinks the dgit autopkgtest `always
failed' even though it passes just fine in testing. So britney has
reduced the migration delay to a mere 2 days, IMO wrongly. Can we
please keep this bug as RC for a little while at least while we decide
what to do about it ?
So, on to the actual problem:
Looking at the manpage for gitattributes(7) it mentions a new
attribute
working-tree-encoding
which affects the way files are checked in and out.
dgit and similar workflows need to disable this attribute, because
they require that git trees and source packages correspond, which
cannot be achieved if working trees made from source packages are not
identical to git trees once committed.
In #851679 I requested a way to disable all checkout-affecting
gitattributes. This has not yet been done AFAICT.
In lieu of that, dgit's test suite has a specific test to spot when
new attributes are introduced. It tries enabling them and seeing if
things go wrong. And indeed, that test has now tripped. (It failed,
in fact, simply because some of the values it attempted to set the
unknown working-tree-encoding attribute to were invalid, but IMO the
test has done its job.)
I think at the very least I will need to update dgit to disable
working-tree-encoding as well. I think the new git should probably
have a Breaks against the older dgit.
A proper fix for #851679 would stop this happening next time a new
gitattribute is introduced.
