This moves the implementation of these two APIs into common code
that will be shared between the two. Also, this adds tests for
the `git_diff_blob_to_buffer` API. Lastly, this adds some extra
`const` to a few places that can use it.
Before this, we error out from `reference_matches_remote_head` if the
reference we're searching for does not exist.
Since we explicitly check if master is existing in `update_head_to_remote`
and error out if it doesn't, a repository without master branch could
not be cloned.
In fact this was later clobbered by what is fixed in #1194.
However, this patch introduces a `found` member in `head_info` and sets
it accordingly. That also saves us from checking the string length of
`branchname` a few times.
As a function that appears to only be called on error paths, I don't
think it makes sense for it to return an error, or clobber the global
giterr. Note that no existing callsites actually check the return
code.
In my own application, there are errors where the real error ends
up being hidden, as git_mwindow_file_deregister() clobbers the
global giterr. I'm not sure this error is even relevant?
I saw a repo in the wild today which had a master branch ref which was packed, but had no trailing newline. Git handled it fine, but libgit2 choked on it. Fix seems simple enough. If we don't see a newline, assume the end of the buffer is the end of the ref line.
It turns out that using REMOVE_UNTRACKED with checkout for this
particular test was causing the .gitattributes file to be removed
and so we do have to allow for the CRs in the created file...
There are a couple of checkout bugs fixed here. One is with
untracked working directory entries that are prefixes of tree
entries but not in a meaningful way (i.e. "read" is a prefix of
"readme.txt" but doesn't interfere in any way). The second bug
is actually a redo of 07edfa0fc640f85f95507c3101e77accd7d2bf0d
where directory entries in the index that are not in the diff
were not being removed correctly. That fix remedied one case
but broke another.
When checking out with the GIT_CHECKOUT_REMOVE_UNTRACKED option
and there was an entire tree in the working directory and in the
index that is not in the baseline nor target commit, the tree was
correctly(?) removed from the working directory but was not
successfully removed from the index. This fixes that and adds a
test of the functionality.
This moves a lot of the detailed checkout documentation into a new
file (docs/checkout-internals.md) and simplifies the public docs
for the checkout API.
For clone to work as expected, it should be using a SAFE_CREATE
checkout (i.e. create files that are missing, even if the target
tree matches the current HEAD).
Test a number of other cases, including intentionally forced
conflicts and deeper inspection that trees get created properly.
There is a still a bug in checkout because the first test here
(i.e. test_checkout_typechange__checkout_typechanges_safe) should
be able to pass with GIT_CHECKOUT_SAFE as a strategy, but it will
not because of some lingering submodule checkout issues.
There were a bunch of small bugs in the checkout code where I was
assuming that a typechange was always from a tree to a blob or
vice versa. This fixes up most of those cases. Also, there were
circumstances where the submodule definitions were changed by the
checkout and the submodule data was not getting reloaded properly
before the new submodules were checked out.
The notifications were broken from the various iterations over
this code and were not returning working dir item data correctly.
Also, workdir items that were alphabetically after the last item
in diff were not being processed.
