git_repository_open_ext provides parameters for the start path, whether
to search across filesystems, and what ceiling directories to stop at.
git commands have standard environment variables and defaults for each
of those, as well as various other parameters of the repository. To
avoid duplicate environment variable handling in users of libgit2, add a
GIT_REPOSITORY_OPEN_FROM_ENV flag, which makes git_repository_open_ext
automatically handle the appropriate environment variables. Commands
that intend to act just like those built into git itself can use this
flag to get the expected default behavior.
git_repository_open_ext with the GIT_REPOSITORY_OPEN_FROM_ENV flag
respects $GIT_DIR, $GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM,
$GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES, $GIT_INDEX_FILE, $GIT_NAMESPACE,
$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY, and $GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES. In the
future, when libgit2 gets worktree support, git_repository_open_env will
also respect $GIT_WORK_TREE and $GIT_COMMON_DIR; until then,
git_repository_open_ext with this flag will error out if either
$GIT_WORK_TREE or $GIT_COMMON_DIR is set.
GIT_REPOSITORY_OPEN_NO_SEARCH does not search up through parent
directories, but still tries the specified path both directly and with
/.git appended. GIT_REPOSITORY_OPEN_BARE avoids appending /.git, but
opens the repository in bare mode even if it has a working directory.
To support the semantics git uses when given $GIT_DIR in the
environment, provide a new GIT_REPOSITORY_OPEN_NO_DOTGIT flag to not try
appending /.git.
git only checks ceiling directories when its search ascends to a parent
directory. A ceiling directory matching the starting directory will not
prevent git from finding a repository in the starting directory or a
parent directory. libgit2 handled the former case correctly, but
differed from git in the latter case: given a ceiling directory matching
the starting directory, but no repository at the starting directory,
libgit2 would stop the search at that point rather than finding a
repository in a parent directory.
Test case using git command-line tools:
/tmp$ git init x
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/x/.git/
/tmp$ cd x/
/tmp/x$ mkdir subdir
/tmp/x$ cd subdir/
/tmp/x/subdir$ GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/tmp/x git rev-parse --git-dir
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
/tmp/x/subdir$ GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/tmp/x/subdir git rev-parse --git-dir
/tmp/x/.git
Fix the testsuite to test this case (in one case fixing a test that
depended on the current behavior), and then fix find_repo to handle this
case correctly.
In the process, simplify and document the logic in find_repo():
- Separate the concepts of "currently checking a .git directory" and
"number of iterations left before going further counts as a search"
into two separate variables, in_dot_git and min_iterations.
- Move the logic to handle in_dot_git and append /.git to the top of the
loop.
- Only search ceiling_dirs and find ceiling_offset after running out of
min_iterations; since ceiling_offset only tracks the longest matching
ceiling directory, if ceiling_dirs contained both the current
directory and a parent directory, this change makes find_repo stop the
search at the parent directory.
Avoid declaring old-style functions without any parameters.
Functions not accepting any parameters should be declared with
`void fn(void)`. See ISO C89 $3.5.4.3.
Read a tree into an index using `git_index_read_index` (by reading
a tree into a new index, then reading that index into the current
index), then write the index back out, ensuring that our new index
is treesame to the tree that we read.
Instead of going through the usual steps of reading a tree recursively
into an index, modifying it and writing it back out as a tree, introduce
a function to perform simple updates more efficiently.
`git_tree_create_updated` avoids reading trees which are not modified
and supports upsert and delete operations. It is not as versatile as
modifying the index, but it makes some common operations much more
efficient.
`test_commit_commit__create_initial_commit_parent_not_current` was not correctly
testing that `HEAD` was not changed. Now we grab the oid that it was pointing to
before the call to `git_commit_create` and the oid that it's pointing to afterwards
and compare those.
While no extra header fields are defined for tags, git accepts them by
ignoring them and continuing the search for the message. There are a few
tags like this in the wild which git parses just fine, so we should do
the same.
In order to match the star-star, we disable the flag that's looking for
a single path element, but that leads to searching for the pattern in
the middle of elements in the input string.
Mark when we're handing a star-star so we jump over the elements in our
attempt to match the part of the pattern that comes after the star-star.
While here, tighten up the check so we don't allow invalid rules
through.
When we're dealing with proxy addresses, we only want a hostname and
port, and the user would not provide a path, so make it optional so we
can use this same function to parse git as well as proxy URLs.
When running as root, skip the unreadable file tests, because, well,
they're probably _not_ unreadable to root unless you've got some
crazy NSA clearance-level honoring operating system shit going on.
When we turned strict object creation validation on by default, we
forgot to inform the refs::create tests of this. They, in fact,
believed that strict object creation was off by default. As a result,
their cleanup function went and turned strict object creation off for
the remaining tests.
If we cannot dwim the input, set the error message to be explicit about
that. Otherwise we leave the error for the last failed lookup, which
can be rather unexpected as it mentions a remote when the user thought
they were trying to look up a branch.
When passing -DUSE_OPENSSL:BOOL=OFF to cmake the testsuite will
fail with the following error:
core::stream::register_tls [/tmp/libgit2/tests/core/stream.c:40]
Function call failed: (error)
error -1 - <no message>
Fix test to assume failure for tls when built without openssl.
While at it also fix GIT_WIN32 cpp to check if it's defined
or not.
Allow callers to specify a start path with a trailing slash to match
a submodule, instead of just a directory. This is for some legacy
behavior that's sort of dumb, but there it is.
If we're looking for a symlink, realpath will give us the resolved path,
which is not what we're after, but a canonicalized version of the path
the user asked for.
