git_packbuilder_write() used to write a packfile to the passed file
path. Instead, ask for a destination directory and create both the
packfile and an index, as most users probably do expect.
This adds ~/ prefix expansion for the value of core.attributesfile
and core.excludesfile, plus it fixes the fact that the attributes
cache was holding on to the string data from the config for a long
time (instead of making its own strdup) which could have caused a
problem if the config was refreshed. Adds a test for the new
expansion capability.
This improves the docs for GIT_DIFF_INCLUDE_UNTRACKED_CONTENT as
well as the other flags related to UNTRACKED items in diff, plus
it makes that flag now automatically turn on
GIT_DIFF_INCLUDE_UNTRACKED which seems like a reasonable dwim type
of change.
The GIT_CONFIG_LEVEL constants actually work well as an enum
because they are mutually exclusive, so this adds a typedef to
the enum and uses that everywhere that one of these constants are
expected, instead of the old code that typically used an unsigned
int.
This adds docs for the cache control options to git_libgit2_opts
and also tweaks the cache code so that if the cache is disabled,
then the next time we attempt to insert something into the cache
in question, we will actually clear any old cached objects.
In theory, if there was a problem reading the REUC data, the
read_reuc() routine could have left uninitialized and invalid
data in the git_index vector. This moves the line that inserts a
new entry into the vector down to the bottom of the routine so we
know all the content is already valid. Also, per @linquize, this
uses calloc to ensure no uninitialized data.
This extends the rename tests to make sure that every rename
scenario in the inner loop of git_diff_find_similar is actually
exercised. Also, fixes an incorrect assert that was in one of
the clauses that was not previously being exercised.
This moves the GIT_CVAR_ABBREV lookup out of the loop. Also, this
fixes git_diff_print_raw to actually use that constant instead of
hardcoding 7 characters.
This adds a couple more tests of different rename scenarios.
Also, this fixes a problem with the case where you have two
"split" deltas and the left half of one matches the right half of
the other. That case was already being handled, but in the wrong
order in a way that could result in bad output. Also, if the swap
also happened to put the other two halves into the correct place
(i.e. two files exchanged places with each other), then the second
delta was left with the SPLIT flag set when it really should be
cleared.
This flips rename detection around so instead of creating a
forward mapping from deltas to possible rename targets, instead
it creates a reverse mapping, looking at possible targets and
trying to find a source that they could have been renamed or
copied from. This is important because each output can only
have a single source, but a given source could map to multiple
outputs (in the form of COPIED records).
Additionally, this makes a couple of tweaks to the public rename
detection APIs, mostly renaming a couple of options that control
the behavior to make more sense and to be more like core Git.
I walked through the tests looking at the exact results and
updated the expectations based on what I saw. The new code is
different from the old because it cannot give some nonsense
results (like A was renamed to both B and C) which were part of
the outputs previously.
This adds a bunch more rename detection tests including checks
vs the working directory, the new exact match options, some more
whitespace variants, etc.
This also adds a git_futils_writebuffer helper function and uses
it in checkout. This is mainly added because I wanted an easy
way to write out a git_buf to disk inside my test code.
- Add new GIT_DIFF_FIND_EXACT_MATCH_ONLY flag to do similarity
matching without using the similarity metric (i.e. only compare
the SHA).
- Clean up the similarity measurement code to more rigorously
distinguish between files that are not similar and files that
are not comparable (previously, a 0 could either mean that the
files could not be compared or that they were totally different)
- When splitting a MODIFIED file into a DELETE/ADD pair, actually
make a DELETED/UNTRACKED pair if the right side of the diff is
from the working directory. This prevents an odd mix of ADDED
and UNTRACKED files on workdir diffs.
There are a number of bugs in the rename code that only were
obvious when I started testing it against large old repos with
more complex patterns. (The code to do that testing is not ready
to merge with libgit2, but I do plan to add more thorough tests.)
This contains a significant number of changes and also tweaks the
public API slightly to make emulating core git easier.
Most notably, this separates the GIT_DIFF_FIND_AND_BREAK_REWRITES
flag into FIND_REWRITES (which adds a self-similarity score to
every modified file) and BREAK_REWRITES (which splits the modified
deltas into add/remove pairs in the diff list). When you do a raw
output of core git, rewrites show up as M090 or such, not at A and
D output, so I wanted to be able to emulate that.
Publicly, this also changes the flags to be uint16_t since we
don't need values out of that range.
Internally, this contains significant changes from a number of
small bug fixes (like using the wrong side of the diff to decide
if the object could be found in the ODB vs the workdir) to larger
issues about which files can and should be compared and how the
various edge cases of similarity scores should be treated.
Honestly, I don't think this is the last update that will have to
be made to this code, but I think this moves us closer to correct
behavior and I tried to document the code so it would be easier
to follow..
I frequently want to the the first N digits of an OID formatted
as a string and I'd like it to be efficient. This function makes
that easy and I could rewrite the OID formatters in terms of it.
Expose a way to retrieve, along with the target git_object, the reference
pointed at by some revparse expression (`@{<-n>}` or
`<branchname>@{upstream}` syntax).
In theory, if there was a problem reading the REUC data, the
read_reuc() routine could have left uninitialized and invalid
data in the git_index vector. This moves the line that inserts a
new entry into the vector down to the bottom of the routine so we
know all the content is already valid. Also, per @linquize, this
uses calloc to ensure no uninitialized data.
This adds an example implementation that emulates git cat-file.
It is a convenient and relatively simple example of getting data
out of a repository.
Implementing this also revealed that there are a number of APIs
that are still not using const pointers to objects that really
ought to be. The main cause of this is that `git_vector_bsearch`
may need to call `git_vector_sort` before doing the search, so a
const pointer to the vector is not allowed. However, for tree
objects, with a little care, we can ensure that the vector of
tree entries is always sorted and allow lookups to take a const
pointer. Also, the missing const in commit objects just looks
like an oversight.
Since I added the GIT_IDXENTRY_STAGE macro to extract the stage
from a git_index_entry, we probably don't need an internal inline
function to do the same thing.
Under some strange circumstances, diffs can end up listing files
that we can't actually open successfully. Instead of aborting
the git_diff_find_similar, this makes it so that those files just
won't be considered as valid rename/copy targets instead.
It is possible for there to be a submodule in a repository with
no .gitmodules file (for example, if the user forgot to commit
the .gitmodules file). In this case, core Git will just create
an empty directory as a placeholder for the submodule but
otherwise ignore it. We were generating an error and stopping
the checkout. This makes our behavior match that of core git.
Unlike blob updates, symlink updates cannot be done "in place"
writing over an old symlink. This means that in checkout when we
realize that we can safely update a symlink, we still need to
remove the old one before writing the new.
When the last item in a diff was an untracked directory that only
contained ignored items, the loop to scan the contents would run
off the end of the iterator and dereference a NULL pointer. This
includes a test that reproduces the problem and a fix.
There was a problem found in the Rugged test suite where the
refdb_fs_backend__next function could exit too early in some
very specific hashing patterns for packed refs. This ports
the Rugged test to libgit2 and then fixes the bug.
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.
If you use rename detection, the renamed and copied files would
not show any text diffs because the function that decides if
data should be loaded didn't know which sides of the diff to
load for those cases.
This adds a test that looks at the patch generated for diff
entries that are COPIED or RENAMED.
The git_status_file API was doing a hack to deal with files that
are inside ignored directories. The status scan was not reporting
any file in this case, so git_status_file would attempt a final
"stat()" call, and return IGNORED if the file actually existed.
On case-insensitive filesystems where core.ignorecase is set
incorrectly, this magic check can "succeed" and report a file
as ignored when it should actually return ENOTFOUND.
Now that we have the GIT_STATUS_OPT_RECURSE_IGNORED_DIRS, we can
use that flag to make sure that git_status_file() will look into
ignored directories and eliminate the hack completely, so we give
the correct error.
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.
When tagopt is set to '--tags', we should only take the default tags
refspec into account and ignore any configured ones.
Bring the code into compliance.
When a patch contained an eofnl change (i.e. the last line either
gained or lost a newline), the oldno and newno line number values
for the lines in the last hunk of the patch were not useful. This
makes them behave in a more expected manner.
This adds a new line origin constant for the special line that
is used when both files end without a newline.
In the course of writing the tests for this, I was having problems
with modifying a file but not having diff notice because it was
the same size and modified less than one second from the start of
the test, so I decided to start working on nanosecond timestamp
support. This commit doesn't contain the nanosecond support, but
it contains the reorganization of maybe_modified and the hooks so
that if the nanosecond data were being read by stat() (or rather
being copied by git_index_entry__init_from_stat), then the nsec
would be taken into account.
This new stuff could probably use some more tests, although there
is some amount of it here.
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
```
