This adds a bunch of additional config values to the repository
config value cache and makes it easier to add a simple boolean
config without creating enum values for each possible setting.
Also, this fixes a bug in git_config_refresh where the config
cache was not being cleared which could lead to potential
incorrect values.
The work to start using the new cached configs will come in the
next couple of commits...
The goal of this work is to expose the search logic for "global",
"system", and "xdg" files through the git_libgit2_opts() interface.
Behind the scenes, I changed the logic for finding files to have a
notion of a git_strarray that represents a search path and to store
a separate search path for each of the three tiers of config file.
For each tier, I implemented a function to initialize it to default
values (generally based on environment variables), and then general
interfaces to get it, set it, reset it, and prepend new directories
to it.
Next, I exposed these interfaces through the git_libgit2_opts
interface, reusing the GIT_CONFIG_LEVEL_SYSTEM, etc., constants
for the user to control which search path they were modifying.
There are alternative designs for the opts interface / argument
ordering, so I'm putting this phase out for discussion.
Additionally, I ended up doing a little bit of clean up regarding
attr.h and attr_file.h, adding a new attrcache.h so the other two
files wouldn't have to be included in so many places.
Often `git_odb_read_header` will "fail" and have to read the
entire object into memory instead of just the header. When this
happens, the object is loaded and then disposed of immediately,
which makes it difficult to efficiently use the header information
to decide if the object should be loaded (since attempting to do
so will often result in loading the object twice).
This commit takes the existing code and reorganizes it to have
two new functions:
- `git_odb__read_header_or_object` which acts just like the old
read header function except that it returns the object, too, if
it was forced to load the whole thing. It then becomes the
callers responsibility to free the `git_odb_object`.
- `git_object__from_odb_object` which was extracted from the old
`git_object_lookup` and creates a subclass of `git_object` from
an existing `git_odb_object` (separating the ODB lookup from the
`git_object` creation). This allows you to use the first header
reading function efficiently without instantiating the
`git_odb_object` twice.
There is no net change to the behavior of any of the existing
functions, but this allows internal code to tap into the ODB
lookup and object creation to be more efficient.
This extends git_repository_init_ext further with support for
initializing the repository from an external template directory
and with support for the "create shared" type flags that make a
set GID repository directory.
This also adds tests for much of the new functionality to the
existing `repo/init.c` test suite.
Also, this adds a bunch of new utility functions including a
very general purpose `git_futils_mkdir` (with the ability to
make paths and to chmod the paths post-creation) and a file
tree copying function `git_futils_cp_r`. Also, this includes
some new path functions that were useful to keep the code
simple.
The extended version of repository init adds support for many
of the things that you can do with `git init` and sets up
structures that will make it easier to extend further in the
future.
Depending on the operation, we need to consider gitattributes
in both the work dir and the index. This adds a parameter to
all of the gitattributes related functions that allows user
control of attribute reading behavior (i.e. prefer workdir,
prefer index, only use index).
This fix also covers allowing us to check attributes (and
hence do diff and status) on bare repositories.
This was a somewhat larger change that I hoped because it had
to change the cache key used for gitattributes files.
This renamed `git_khash_str` to `git_strmap`, `git_hash_oid` to
`git_oidmap`, and deletes `git_hashtable` from the tree, plus
adds unit tests for `git_strmap`.
This updates khash.h with some extra features (like error checking
on allocations, ability to use wrapped malloc, foreach calls, etc),
creates two high-level wrappers around khash: `git_khash_str` and
`git_khash_oid` for string-to-void-ptr and oid-to-void-ptr tables,
then converts all of the old usage of `git_hashtable` over to use
these new hashtables.
For `git_khash_str`, I've tried to create a set of macros that
yield an API not too unlike the old `git_hashtable` API. Since
the oid hashtable is only used in one file, I haven't bother to
set up all those macros and just use the khash APIs directly for
now.
This adds support for a bunch of core.* settings that affect
diff and status, plus fixes up some incorrect implementations
of those settings from before. Also, this cleans up the
handling of config settings in the new submodules code and
in the old attrs/ignore code.
When processing status for a newly checked out repo, it is
possible that there will be submodules that have not yet been
initialized. The only way to distinguish these from untracked
directories is to have some knowledge of submodules. This
commit adds a new submodule API which, given a name or path,
can determine if it appears to be a submodule and can give
information about the submodule.
Adds support for .gitignore files to git_status_foreach() and
git_status_file(). This includes refactoring the gitattributes
code to share logic where possible. The GIT_STATUS_IGNORED flag
will now be passed in for files that are ignored (provided they
are not already in the index or the head of repo).
Add support for git attribute macro definitions. Also, add
support for cache flush API to clear the attribute file content
cache when needed.
Additionally, improved the handling of global and system files,
making common utility functions in fileops and converting config
and attr to both use the common functions.
Adds a bunch more tests and fixed some memory leaks. Note that
adding macros required me to use refcounted attribute assignment
definitions, which complicated, but probably improved memory usage.
This adds APIs for querying git attributes. In addition to
the new API in include/git2/attr.h, most of the action is in
src/attr_file.[hc] which contains utilities for dealing with
a single attributes file, and src/attr.[hc] which contains
the implementation of the APIs that merge all applicable
attributes files.
The ownership semantics have been changed all over the library to be
consistent. There are no more "borrowed" or duplicated references.
Main changes:
- `git_repository_open2` and `3` have been dropped.
- Added setters and getters to hotswap all the repository owned
objects:
`git_repository_index`
`git_repository_set_index`
`git_repository_odb`
`git_repository_set_odb`
`git_repository_config`
`git_repository_set_config`
`git_repository_workdir`
`git_repository_set_workdir`
Now working directories/index files/ODBs and so on can be
hot-swapped after creating a repository and between operations.
- All these objects now have proper ownership semantics with
refcounting: they all require freeing after they are no longer
needed (the repository always keeps its internal reference).
- Repository open and initialization has been updated to keep in
mind the configuration files. Bare repositories are now always
detected, and a default config file is created on init.
- All the tests affected by these changes have been dropped from the
old test suite and ported to the new one.
The following files now have 0444 permissions:
- loose objects
- pack indexes
- pack files
- packs downloaded by fetch
- packs downloaded by the HTTP transport
And the following files now have 0666 permissions:
- config files
- repository indexes
- reflogs
- refs
This brings libgit2 more in line with Git.
Note that git_filebuf_commit() and git_filebuf_commit_at() have both
gained a new mode parameter.
The latter change fixes an important issue where filebufs created with
GIT_FILEBUF_TEMPORARY received 0600 permissions (due to mkstemp(3)
usage). Now we chmod() the file before renaming it into place.
Tests have been added to confirm that new commit, tag, and tree
objects are created with the right permissions. I don't have access to
Windows, so for now I've guarded the tests with "#ifndef GIT_WIN32".
To further match how Git behaves, this change makes most of the
directories libgit2 creates in a git repo have a file mode of
0777. Specifically:
- Intermediate directories created with git_futils_mkpath2file() have
0777 permissions. This affects odb_loose, reflog, and refs.
- The top level folder for bare repos is created with 0777
permissions.
- The top level folder for non-bare repos is created with 0755
permissions.
- /objects/info/, /objects/pack/, /refs/heads/, and /refs/tags/ are
created with 0777 permissions.
Additionally, the following changes have been made:
- fileops functions that create intermediate directories have grown a
new dirmode parameter. The only exception to this is filebuf's
lock_file(), which unconditionally creates intermediate directories
with 0777 permissions when GIT_FILEBUF_FORCE is set.
- The test runner now sets the umask to 0 before running any
tests. This ensurses all file mode checks are consistent across
systems.
- t09-tree.c now does a directory permissions check. I've avoided
adding this check to other tests that might reuse existing
directories from the prefabricated test repos. Because they're
checked into the repo, they have 0755 permissions.
- Other assorted directories created by tests have 0777 permissions.
1. The license header is technically not valid if it doesn't have a
copyright signature.
2. The COPYING file has been updated with the different licenses used in
the project.
3. The full GPLv2 header in each file annoys me.
The direct-writes commit left some (slow) internals methods that
were no longer needed. These have been removed.
Also, the Reflog code was using the old `git_signature__write`, so
it has been rewritten to use a normal buffer and the new `writebuf`
signature writer. It's now slightly simpler and faster.
DIRECT WRITES ARE BACK AND FASTER THAN EVER. The streaming writer to the
ODB was an overkill for the smaller objects like Commit and Tags; most
of the streaming logic was taking too long.
This commit makes Commits, Tags and Trees to be built-up in memory, and
then written to disk in 2 pushes (header + data), instead of streaming
everything.
This is *always* faster, even for big files (since the git_filebuf class
still does streaming writes when the memory cache overflows). This is
also a gazillion lines of code smaller, because we don't have to
precompute the final size of the object before starting the stream (this
was kind of defeating the point of streaming, anyway).
Blobs are still written with full streaming instead of loading them in
memory, since this is still the fastest way.
A new `git_buf` class has been added. It's missing some features, but
it'll get there.
Hey. Apologies in advance -- I broke your bindings.
This is a major commit that includes a long-overdue redesign of the
whole object-database structure. This is expected to be the last major
external API redesign of the library until the first non-alpha release.
Please get your bindings up to date with these changes. They will be
included in the next minor release. Sorry again!
Major features include:
- Real caching and refcounting on parsed objects
- Real caching and refcounting on objects read from the ODB
- Streaming writes & reads from the ODB
- Single-method writes for all object types
- The external API is now partially thread-safe
The speed increases are significant in all aspects, specially when
reading an object several times from the ODB (revwalking) and when
writing big objects to the ODB.
Here's a full changelog for the external API:

It's no longer retarded. All object interdependencies are stored as OIDs
instead of actual objects. This should be hundreds of times faster,
specially on big repositories. Heck, who knows, maye it doesn't even
segfault -- wouldn't that be awesome?
What has changed on the API?
`git_commit_parent`, `git_commit_tree`, `git_tag_target` now return
their values through a pointer-to-pointer, and have an error code.
`git_commit_set_tree` and `git_tag_set_target` now return an error
code and may fail.
`git_repository_free__no_gc` has been deprecated because it's
stupid. Since there are no longer any interdependencies between
objects, we don't need internal reference counting, and GC
never fails or double-free's pointers.
`git_object_close` now does a very sane thing: marks an object
as unused. Closed objects will be eventually free'd from the
object cache based on LRU. Please use `git_object_close` from
the garbage collector `destroy` method on your bindings. It's
100% safe.
`git_repository_gc` is a new method that forces a garbage collector
pass through the repo, to free as many LRU objects as possible.
This is useful if we are running out of memory.
Disable garbage collection of cross-references to prevent
double-freeing. Internal reference management is now done
with a separate method.

All the commits have been squashed into a single one before refactoring
the final code, to keep everything tidy.
Individual commit messages are as follows:
Added repository reference looking up functionality placeholder.
Added basic reference database definition and caching infrastructure.
Removed useless constant.
Added GIT_EINVALIDREFNAME error and description. Added missing description for GIT_EBAREINDEX.
Added GIT_EREFCORRUPTED error and description.
Added GIT_ETOONESTEDSYMREF error and description.
Added resolving of direct and symbolic references.
Prepared the packed-refs parsing.
Added parsing of the packed-refs file content.
When no loose reference has been found, the full content of the packed-refs file is parsed. All of the new (i.e. not previously parsed as a loose reference) references are eagerly stored in the cached references storage.
The method packed_reference_file__parse() is in deer need of some refactoring. :-)
Extracted to a method the parsing of the peeled target of a tag.
Extracted to a method the parsing of a standard packed ref.
Fixed leaky removal of the cached references.
Ensured that a previously parsed packed reference isn't returned if a more up-to-date loose reference exists.
Enhanced documentation of git_repository_reference_lookup().
Moved some refs related constants from repository.c to refs.h.
Made parsing of a packed tag reference more robust.
Updated git_repository_reference_lookup() documentation.
Added some references to the test repository.
Added some tests covering tag references looking up.
Added some tests covering symbolic and head references looking up.
Added some tests covering packed references looking up.
Libgit2 is now officially include as
