git-sh-i18n--envsubst: our own envsubst(1) for eval_gettext() Add a git-sh-i18n--envsubst program which is a stripped-down version of the GNU envsubst(1) program that comes with GNU gettext for use in the eval_gettext() fallback. We need a C helper program because implementing eval_gettext() purely in shell turned out to be unworkable. Digging through the Git mailing list archives will reveal two shell implementations of eval_gettext that are almost good enough, but fail on an edge case which is tested for in the tests which are part of this patch. These are the modifications I made to envsubst.c as I turned it into sh-i18n--envsubst.c: * Added our git-compat-util.h header for xrealloc() and friends. * Removed inclusion of gettext-specific headers. * Removed most of main() and replaced it with my own. The modified version only does option parsing for --variables. That's all it needs. * Modified error() invocations to use our error() instead of error(3). * Replaced the gettext XNMALLOC(n, size) macro with just xmalloc(n). Since XNMALLOC() only allocated char's. * Removed the string_list_destroy function. It's redundant (also in the upstream code). * Replaced the use of stdbool.h (a C99 header) by doing the following replacements on the code: * s/bool/unsigned short int/g * s/true/1/g * s/false/0/g Reported-by: Johannes Sixt <j.sixt@viscovery.net> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

git-sh-i18n--envsubst(1)
========================
NAME
----
git-sh-i18n--envsubst - Git's own envsubst(1) for i18n fallbacks
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever.
This documentation is meant for people who are studying the
plumbing scripts and/or are writing new ones.
git-sh-i18n--envsubst is Git's stripped-down copy of the GNU
`envsubst(1)` program that comes with the GNU gettext package. It's
used internally by linkgit:git-sh-i18n[1] to interpolate the variables
passed to the the `eval_gettext` function.
No promises are made about the interface, or that this
program won't disappear without warning in the next version
of Git. Don't use it.
