Documentation

Overview

Package gitporcelain holds small shared helpers for parsing git's porcelain output. Both the runtime's working-tree scans and the acceptance reconciler read `git status --porcelain` lines; with core.quotePath=true (git's default) any path with a non-ASCII or special character is emitted C-quoted ("caf\303\251.txt"), which a naive parser would treat as a literal path.

func Unquote(p string) string

Unquote decodes a path as git porcelain output prints it when core.quotePath is active: wrapped in double quotes with C-style escapes (\t, \", \\ and \nnn octal bytes). Git's escapes are a subset of Go's string-literal escapes, so strconv.Unquote decodes them directly. A path git did not quote — or a malformed quote — is returned unchanged.
