We use heuristics to make a decent guess at when we can save time and
space by linking object files during a clone. Unfortunately checking the
device id isn't enough, as those would be the same during e.g. a bind-mount,
but the OS still does not allow us to link between mounts of the same
filesystem.
If we fail to perform the links, fall back to copying the contents into
a new file as a last attempt.
The base refspecs changing can be a cause of confusion as to what is the
current base refspec set and complicate saving the remote's
configuration.
Change `git_remote_add_{fetch,push}()` to update the configuration
instead of an instance.
This finally makes `git_remote_save()` a no-op, it will be removed in a
later commit.
While this will rarely be different from the default, having it in the
remote adds yet another setting it has to keep around and can affect its
behaviour. Move it to the options.
Having the setting be different from calling its actions was not a great
idea and made for the sake of the wrong convenience.
Instead of that, accept either fetch options, push options or the
callbacks when dealing with the remote. The fetch options are currently
only the callbacks, but more options will be moved from setters and
getters on the remote to the options.
This does mean passing the same struct along the different functions but
the typical use-case will only call git_remote_fetch() or
git_remote_push() and so won't notice much difference.
We want to use the "checkout: moving from ..." message in order to let
git know when a change of branch has happened. Make the convenience
functions for this goal write this message.
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.
With opportunistic ref updates, git has introduced the concept of having
base refspecs *and* refspecs that are active for a particular fetch.
Let's start by letting the user override the refspecs for download.
When the fetch refspec does not include the remote's default branch, it
indicates an error in user expectations or programmer error. Error out
in that case.
This lets us get rid of the dummy refspec which can never work as its
zeroed out. In the cases where we did not find a default branch, we set
HEAD detached immediately, which lets us refactor the "normal" path,
removing `found_branch`.
A repository can have any number of references which we're not
interested in such as notes or tags. For the default branch calculation
we only care about branches. Make the decision about the number of
branches rather than the number of refs in general.
As git_clone now has callbacks to configure the details of the
repository and remote, remove the lower-level functions from the public
API, as they lack some of the logic from git_clone proper.
Analogously to the remote creation callback, provide a way for the user
of git_clone() to create the repository with whichever options they
desire via callback.
git_remote_set_transport now takes a transport factory rather than a transport
git_clone_options now allows the caller to specify a remote creation callback
Whe already worked out the kinks with the function used in the local
transport. Expose it and make use of it in the local clone method
instead of trying to work it out again.
If requested, git_clone_local_into() will try to link the object files
instead of copying them.
This only works on non-Windows (since it doesn't have this) when both
are on the same filesystem (which are unix semantics).
A call like git_clone("./foo", "./foo1") writes origin's url as './foo',
which makes it unusable, as they're relative to different things.
Go with git's behaviour and store the realpath as the url.
When git is given such a path, it will perform a "local clone",
bypassing the git-aware protocol and simply copying over all objects
that exist in the source.
Copy this behaviour when given a local path.
We have too many places where we repeat free code, so when adding the
new free to the generic code, it didn't take for the local transport.
While there, fix a C99-ism that sneaked through.
We set up the current branch after we fetch from the remote. This means
that the user's refspec may have already created this reference. It is
therefore not an error if we cannot create the branch because it already
exists.
This allows for the user to replicate git-clone's --mirror option.
Instead of changing the user-provided remote, duplicate it so we can add
the extra refspec without having to worry about unsetting it before
returning.
Clone callbacks can return non-zero values to cancel the clone.
This adds some tests to verify that this actually works and updates
the documentation to be clearer that this can happen and that the
return value will be propagated back by the clone function.
This changes the behavior of callbacks so that the callback error
code is not converted into GIT_EUSER and instead we propagate the
return value through to the caller. Instead of using the
giterr_capture and giterr_restore functions, we now rely on all
functions to pass back the return value from a callback.
To avoid having a return value with no error message, the user
can call the public giterr_set_str or some such function to set
an error message. There is a new helper 'giterr_set_callback'
that functions can invoke after making a callback which ensures
that some error message was set in case the callback did not set
one.
In places where the sign of the callback return value is
meaningful (e.g. positive to skip, negative to abort), only the
negative values are returned back to the caller, obviously, since
the other values allow for continuing the loop.
The hardest parts of this were in the checkout code where positive
return values were overloaded as meaningful values for checkout.
I fixed this by adding an output parameter to many of the internal
checkout functions and removing the overload. This added some
code, but it is probably a better implementation.
There is some funkiness in the network code where user provided
callbacks could be returning a positive or a negative value and
we want to rely on that to cancel the loop. There are still a
couple places where an user error might get turned into GIT_EUSER
there, I think, though none exercised by the tests.
This continues auditing all the places where GIT_EUSER is being
returned and making sure to clear any existing error using the
new giterr_user_cancel helper. As a result, places that relied
on intercepting GIT_EUSER but having the old error preserved also
needed to be cleaned up to correctly stash and then retrieve the
actual error.
Additionally, as I encountered places where error codes were not
being propagated correctly, I tried to fix them up. A number of
those fixes are included in the this commit as well.
The callback-based method of listing remote references dates back to the
beginning of the network code's lifetime, when we didn't know any
better.
We need to keep the list around for update_tips() after disconnect() so
let's make use of this to simply give the user a pointer to the array so
they can write straightforward code instead of having to go through a
callback.
Removing arbitrary refspecs makes things more complex to reason
about. Instead, let the user set the fetch and push refspec list to
whatever they want it to be.
This hooks up git_path_direach and git_path_dirload so that they
will take a flag indicating if directory entry names should be
tested and converted from decomposed unicode to precomposed form.
This code will only come into play on the Apple platform and even
then, only when certain types of filesystems are used.
This involved adding a flag to these functions which involved
changing a lot of places in the code.
This was an opportunity to do a bit of code cleanup here and there,
for example, getting rid of the git_futils_cleanupdir_r function in
favor of a simple flag to git_futils_rmdir_r to not remove the top
level entry. That ended up adding depth tracking during rmdir_r
which led to a safety check for infinite directory recursion. Yay.
This hasn't actually been tested on the Mac filesystems where the
issue occurs. I still need to get test environment for that.
