A number of diff APIs and the `git_checkout_index` API take a
`git_repository` object an operate on the index. This updates
them to take a `git_index` pointer explicitly and only fall back
on the `git_repository` index if the index input is NULL. This
makes it easier to operate on a temporary index.
The index iterator could previously only be created from a repo
object, but this allows creating an iterator from a `git_index`
object instead (while keeping, though renaming, the old function).
The reset hard tests had hardcoded expected file content and was
not correctly compensating for CRLF filtering when a file needed
to be reverted by the reset hard. This fixes that.
The existing p_lstat implementation on win32 is not quite POSIX
compliant when setting errno to ENOTDIR. This adds an option to
make is be compliant so that code (such as checkout) that cares
to have separate behavior for ENOTDIR can use it portably.
This also contains a couple of other minor cleanups in the
posix_w32.c implementations to avoid unnecessary work.
Returning NULL for the string when we haven't signaled an error
condition is counter-intuitive and causes unnecessary edge
cases. Return an empty string when asking for a string value for a
configuration variable such as '[section] var' to avoid these edge
cases.
If the distinction between no value and an empty value is needed, this
can be retrieved from the entry directly. As a side-effect, this
change stops the int parsing functions from segfaulting on such a
variable.
The `git_reset` API with the HARD option is still slightly
broken, but this test now does exercise the ability of the
command to revert modified files.
This is a major reworking of checkout strategy options. The
checkout code is now sensitive to the contents of the HEAD tree
and the new options allow you to update the working tree so that
it will match the index content only when it previously matched
the contents of the HEAD. This allows you to, for example, to
distinguish between removing files that are in the HEAD but not
in the index, vs just removing all untracked files.
Because of various corner cases that arise, etc., this required
some additional capabilities in rmdir and other utility functions.
This includes the beginnings of an implementation of code to read
a partial tree into the index based on a pathspec, but that is
not enabled because of the possibility of creating conflicting
index entries.
So, @nulltoken created a failing test case for checkout that
proved to be particularly daunting. If checkout is given only
a very limited strategy mask (e.g. just GIT_CHECKOUT_CREATE_MISSING)
then it is possible for typechange/rename modifications to leave it
unable to complete the request. That's okay, but the existing code
did not have enough information not to generate an error (at least
for tree/blob conflicts).
This led me to a significant reorganization of the code to handle
the failing case, but it has three benefits:
1. The test case is handled correctly (I think)
2. The new code should actually be much faster than the old code
since I decided to make checkout aware of diff list internals.
3. The progress value accuracy is hugely increased since I added
a fourth pass which calculates exactly what work needs to be
done before doing anything.
* Rework GIT_DIRREMOVAL values to GIT_RMDIR flags, allowing
combinations of flags
* Add GIT_RMDIR_EMPTY_PARENTS flag to remove parent dirs that
are left empty after removal
* Add GIT_MKDIR_VERIFY_DIR to give an error if item is a file,
not a dir (previously an EEXISTS error was ignored, even for
files) and enable this flag for git_futils_mkpath2file call
* Improve accuracy of error messages from git_futils_mkdir
