The code correctly detects that forced creation of a branch on a
nonbare repo should not be able to overwrite a branch which is
the HEAD reference. But there's no reason to prevent this on
a bare repo, and in fact, git allows this. I.e.,
git branch -f master new_sha
works on a bare repo with HEAD set to master. This change fixes
that problem, and updates tests so that, for this case, both the
bare and nonbare cases are checked for correct behavior.
Differentiate between the ref_name used to create an annotated_commit
(that can subsequently be used to look up the reference) and the
description that we resolved this with (which _cannot_ be looked up).
The description is used for things like reflogs (and may be a ref name,
and ID something that we revparsed to get here), while the ref name must
actually be a reference name, and is used for things like rebase to
return to the initial branch.
Removing a reflog upon ref deletion is something which only some
backends might wish to do. Backends which are database-backed may wish
to archive a reflog, log-based ones may not need to do anything.
When we look for which remote corresponds to a remote-tracking branch,
we look in the refspecs to see which ones matches. If none do, we should
abort. We currently ignore the error message from this operation, so
let's not do that anymore.
As part of the test we're writing, let's test for the expected behaviour
if we cannot find a refspec which tells us what the remote-tracking
branch for a remote would look like.
We do not always want to put the id directly into the reflog, but we
want to speicfy what a user typed. For this use-case we provide
annotated version of a few functions which let the caller specify what
user-friendly name was used when asking for the operation.
This changes the get_entry() method to return a refcounted version of
the config entry, which you have to free when you're done.
This allows us to avoid freeing the memory in which the entry is stored
on a refresh, which may happen at any time for a live config.
For this reason, get_string() has been forbidden on live configs and a
new function get_string_buf() has been added, which stores the string in
a git_buf which the user then owns.
The functions which parse the string value takea advantage of the
borrowing to parse safely and then release the entry.
This namespace is about behaving like git's branch command, so let's do
exactly that instead of taking a reflog message.
This override is still available via the reference namespace.
The signature for the reflog is not something which changes
dynamically. Almost all uses will be NULL, since we want for the
repository's default identity to be used, making it noise.
In order to allow for changing the identity, we instead provide
git_repository_set_ident() and git_repository_ident() which allow a user
to override the choice of signature.
We look up a reference in order to figure out if it's the current
branch, which we need to free once we're done with the check.
As a bonus, only perform the check when we're passed the force flag, as
it's a useless check otherwise.
Any well-behaved program should write a descriptive message to the
reflog whenever it updates a reference. Let's make this more prominent
by removing the version without the reflog parameters.
This adds giterr_user_cancel to return GIT_EUSER and clear any
error message that is sitting around. As a result of using that
in places, we need to be more thorough with capturing errors that
happen inside a callback when used internally. To help with that,
this also adds giterr_capture and giterr_restore so that when we
internally use a foreach-type function that clears errors and
converts them to GIT_EUSER, it is easier to restore not just the
return value, but the actual error message text.
Create a git_branch_iterator type which is equivalent to the foreach but
lets us write loops instead of callbacks.
Since the introduction of git_reference_shorthand(), the added value of
passing the name is reduced.
Unfortunately git-core uses the term "unborn branch" and "orphan
branch" interchangeably. However, "orphan" is only really there for
the checkout command, which has the `--orphan` option so it doesn't
actually create the branch.
Branches never have parents, so the distinction of a branch with no
parents is odd to begin with. Crucially, the error messages deal with
unborn branches, so let's use that.
Nobody should ever be using anything other than ALL at this level, so
remove the option altogether.
As part of this, git_reference_foreach_glob is now implemented in the
frontend using an iterator. Backends will later regain the ability of
doing the glob filtering in the backend.
Currently git_branch_set_upstream when passed a local branch
creates invalid configuration, for ex. if we setup branch
'tracking_master' to track local 'master' libgit2 generates
the following config
```
[branch "track_master"]
remote = .
merge = .refs/heads/track_master
```
The merge value is invalid and calling git_branch_upstream on
'tracking_master' results in invalid reference error.
It should do:
```
[branch "track_master"]
remote = .
merge = refs/heads/master
```
A remote can have a multitude of refspecs. Up to now our git_remote's
have supported a single one for each fetch and push out of simplicity
to get something working.
Let the remotes and internal code know about multiple remotes and get
the tests passing with them.
Instead of setting a refspec, the external users can clear all and add
refspecs. This should be enough for most uses, though we're still
missing a querying function.
Return the size we'd need to write to instead of simply an
error. Split the function into two to be used later by the upstream
configuration functions.
