This is a significant reorganization of the diff code to break it
into a set of more clearly distinct files and to document the new
organization. Hopefully this will make the diff code easier to
understand and to extend.
This adds a new `git_diff_driver` object that looks of diff driver
information from the attributes and the config so that things like
function content in diff headers can be provided. The full driver
spec is not implemented in the commit - this is focused on the
reorganization of the code and putting the driver hooks in place.
This also removes a few #includes from src/repository.h that were
overbroad, but as a result required extra #includes in a variety
of places since including src/repository.h no longer results in
pulling in the whole world.
By zeroing out the memory when we free larger objects (i.e. those
that serve as collections of other data, such as repos, odb, refdb),
I'm hoping that it will be easier for libgit2 bindings to find
errors in their object management code.
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.
This clarifies the docs for git_repository_message and also adds
to the tests to explicitly check NUL termination of data when the
output buffer is smaller than the message size. There is a minor
behavior change so that a non-NULL output buffer will always be
NUL terminated (at length zero) if an error occurs.
When a repository is initialised, we need to probe to see if there is
a global config to load. If this is not the case, the user isn't able
to write to the global config without creating the backend and adding
it themselves, which is inconvenient and overly complex.
Unconditionally create and add a backend for the global config file
regardless of whether it exists as a convenience for users.
To enable this, we allow creating backends to files that do not exist
yet, changing the semantics somewhat, and making some tests invalid.
This removes the lock from the repository object and changes the
internals to use the new atomic git__compare_and_swap to update
the _odb, _config, _index, and _refdb variables in a threadsafe
manner.
This builds on the earlier thread safety work to make it so that
setting the odb, index, refdb, or config for a repository is done
in a threadsafe manner with minimized locking time. This is done
by adding a lock to the repository object and using it to guard
the assignment of the above listed pointers. The lock is only
held to assign the pointer value.
This also contains some minor fixes to the other work with pack
files to reduce the time that locks are being held to and fix an
apparently memory leak.
When creating files, instead of actually using GIT_FILEMODE_BLOB
and the other various constants that happen to correspond to
mode values, apparently I should be just using 0666 and 0777, and
relying on the umask to clear bits and make the value sane.
This fixes the rules for copying a template directory and fixes
the checks to match that new behavior. (Further changes to the
checkout logic to follow separately.)
The new tests were not taking core.filemode into account when
testing file modes after repo initialization. Fixed that and some
other Windows warnings that have crept in.
When PR #1359 removed the hooks from the test resources/template
directory, it made me realize that the tests for
git_repository_init_ext using templates must be pretty shabby
because we could not have been testing if the hooks were getting
created correctly.
So, this started with me recreating a couple of hooks, including
a sample and symlink, and adding tests that they got created
correctly in the various circumstances, including with the SHARED
modes, etc. Unfortunately this uncovered some issues with how
directories and symlinks were copied and chmod'ed. Also, there
was a FIXME in the code related to the chmod behavior as well.
Going back over the directory creation logic for setting up a
repository, I found it was a little difficult to read and could
result in creating and/or chmod'ing directories that the user
almost certainly didn't intend.
So that let to this work which makes repo initialization much
more careful (and hopefully easier to follow). It required a
couple of extensions / changes to core fileops utilities, but I
also think those are for the better, at least for git_futils_cp_r
in terms of being careful about what actions it takes.
This is an intermin solution. While this essentially disables the
--shared flag feature, previously external templates did not work
at all. This change fixes the previously corrected, and since
then failing, repo_init__extended_with_template() test.
The problem is now documented in the source code comments.
Added `struct git_config_entry`: a git_config_entry contains the key, the value, and the config file level from which a config element was found.
Added `git_config_open_level`: build a single-level focused config object from a multi-level one.
We are now storing `git_config_entry`s in the khash of the config_file
This file is not just read if the global config file (%HOME%/.gitconfig)
is not found, however, it is used everytime but with lower priority.

Fixed some minor `git_repository_hashfile` issues:
- Fixed incorrect doc (saying that repo could be NULL)
- Added checking of object type value to acceptable ones
- Added more tests for various parameter permutations
The existing `git_odb_hashfile` does not apply text filtering
rules because it doesn't have a repository context to evaluate
the correct rules to apply. This adds a new hashfile function
that will apply repository-specific filters (based on config,
attributes, and filename) before calculating the hash.
This is a big redesign of the git_submodule_status API and the
implementation of the redesigned API. It also fixes a number of
bugs that I found in other parts of the submodule API while
writing the tests for the status part.
This also fixes a couple of bugs in the iterators that had not
been noticed before - one with iterating when there is a gitlink
(i.e. separate-work-dir) and one where I was treating anything
even vaguely submodule-like as a submodule, more aggressively
than core git does.
This cleans up a number of items suggested during code review
with @vmg, including:
* renaming "outside repo" config API to `git_config_open_default`
* killing the `git_config_open_global` API
* removing the `git_` prefix from the static functions in fileops
* removing some unnecessary functionality from the "cp" command
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.
The 'git revert/cherry-pick/merge -n' commands leave .git/MERGE_MSG
behind so that git-commit can find it. As we don't yet support these
operations, users who are shelling out to let git perform these
operations haven't had a convenient way to get this message.
These functions allow the user to retrieve the message and remove it
when she's created the commit.
This added a flag to the `git_repository_set_workdir()` function
that enables generation of a `.git` gitlink file that links the
new workdir to the parent repository. Essentially, the flag tells
the function to write out the changes to disk to permanently set
the workdir of the repository to the new path.
If you pass this flag as true, then setting the workdir to something
other than the default workdir (i.e. the parent of the .git repo
directory), will create a plain file named ".git" with the standard
gitlink contents "gitdir: <repo-path>", and also update the
"core.worktree" and "core.bare" config values.
Setting the workdir to the default repo workdir will clear the
core.worktree flag (but still permanently set core.bare to false).
BTW, the libgit2 API does not currently provide a function for
clearing the workdir and converting a non-bare repo into a bare one.
When the repository was reinitialized, every configuration change in repo_init_config() was directly performed against the file on the filesystem. However, a previous version of the configuration had previously been loaded in memory and attached to the repository, in repo_init_reinit().
The repository was unaware of the change and the stale cached version of the configuration never refreshed.
The call to repo_init_reinit already takes care of opening the
repository and giving us a git_repository object to give to the
caller. There is no need to call git_repository_open again.
This fixes git_index_add and git_index_append to behave more like
core git, preserving old filemode data in the index when adding
and/or appending with core.filemode = false.
This also has placeholder support for core.symlinks and
core.ignorecase, but those flags are not implemented (well,
symlinks has partial support for preserving mode information in
the same way that git does, but it isn't tested).
We used to consider a missing core.bare option to mean that the
repository was corrupt. This is too strict. Consider it a non-bare
repository if it's not set.
This adds a bunch of template files to the initialization for
hooks, info/exclude, and description. This makes our initialized
repo look more like core gits.
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 adds a `git_pool` object that can do simple paged memory
allocation with free for the entire pool at once. Using this,
you can replace many small allocations with large blocks that
can then cheaply be doled out in small pieces. This is best
used when you plan to free the small blocks all at once - for
example, if they represent the parsed state from a file or data
stream that are either all kept or all discarded.
There are two real patterns of usage for `git_pools`: either
for "string" allocation, where the item size is a single byte
and you end up just packing the allocations in together, or for
"fixed size" allocation where you are allocating a large object
(e.g. a `git_oid`) and you generally just allocation single
objects that can be tightly packed. Of course, you can use it
for other things, but those two cases are the easiest.
git_repository_free() calls git_odb_free() if the owned odb is not null.
According to the doc, when setting a new odb through git_repository_set_odb() the caller has to take care of releasing the odb by himself.
