Smit Barmase 2f7dbbdac7 Support external .editorconfig (#46332)
Closes #41832

Extends https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/19455

When an internal `.editorconfig` is detected in the worktree, we
traverse parent directories up to the filesystem root looking for
additional `.editorconfig` files. All discovered external configs are
loaded and cached (shared when multiple worktrees reference the same
parent directories). When computing settings for a file, external
configs are applied first (from furthest to closest), then internal
configs.

For local projects, file watchers are set up for each external config so
changes are applied immediately. When a project is shared via collab,
external configs are sent to guests through the existing
`UpdateWorktreeSettings` proto message (with a new `outside_worktree`
field). SSH remoting works similarly.

Limitations: We don't currently take creation of new external editor
config files into account since they are loaded once on worktree add.

Release Notes:

- Added support for `.editorconfig` files outside the project directory.
Zed now traverses parent directories to find and apply EditorConfig
settings. Use `root = true` in any `.editorconfig` to stop inheriting
settings from parent directories.

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.

Sponsorship

Zed is developed by Zed Industries, Inc., a for-profit company.

If you’d like to financially support the project, you can do so via GitHub Sponsors. Sponsorships go directly to Zed Industries and are used as general company revenue. There are no perks or entitlements associated with sponsorship.
