ENCODING_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD =

This threshold is carefully tweaked to prevent usage of encodings detected by CharlockHolmes with low confidence. If CharlockHolmes confidence is low, we’re better off sticking with utf8 encoding. Reason: git diff can return strings with invalid utf8 byte sequences if it truncates a diff in the middle of a multibyte character. In this case CharlockHolmes will try to guess the encoding and will likely suggest an obscure encoding with low confidence. There is a lot more info with this merge request: gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab_git/merge_requests/77#note_4754193

#detect_libgit2_binary?(data) ⇒ Boolean

EncodingDetector checks the first 1024 * 1024 bytes for NUL byte, libgit2 checks only the first 8000 (github.com/libgit2/libgit2/blob/2ed855a9e8f9af211e7274021c2264e600c0f86b/src/filter.h#L15), which is what we use below to keep a consistent behavior.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

This is like encode_utf8 except we skip autodetection of the encoding. We assume the data must be interpreted as UTF-8.

#unquote_path(filename) ⇒ Object

rubocop:disable Style/AsciiComments ‘unquote_path` decode filepaths that are returned by some git commands. The path may be returned in double-quotes if it contains special characters, that are encoded in octal. Also, some characters (see `ESCAPED_CHARS`) are escaped. eg. “311240304253305247305200310247306200” (quotes included) is decoded as ɠīŧŀȧƀ

Based on ‘unquote_c_style` from git source github.com/git/git/blob/v2.35.1/quote.c#L399 rubocop:enable Style/AsciiComments
