We used to require loose references to contain only an OID (possibly
after trimming the string). This is however not enough for letting us
lookup FETCH_HEAD, which can have a lot of content after the initial
OID.
Change the parsing rules so that a loose refernce must e at least 40
bytes long and the 41st (if it's there) must be accepted by
isspace(3). This makes the trim unnecessary, so only do it for
symrefs. This fixes#977.
The fix for fetching from empty repositories (22935b06d protocol:
don't store flushes; 2012-10-07) forgot to take into account the
deletion of the flush pkt in the HTTP transport. As a result, the HEAD
ref advertisement where we detect the remote's capabilities was
deleted instead. Fix this.
This started as a complex new test for checkout going through the
"typechanges" test repository, but that revealed numerous issues
with checkout, including:
* complete failure with submodules
* failure to create blobs with exec bits
* problems when replacing a tree with a blob because the tree
"example/" sorts after the blob "example" so the delete was
being processed after the single file blob was created
This fixes most of those problems and includes a number of other
minor changes that made it easier to do that, including improving
the TYPECHANGE support in diff/status, etc.
This is just some cleanup code, rearranging some of the checkout
code where TYPECHANGE support was added and adding some comments
to the diff header regarding the constants.
When I wrote the diff code, I based it on core git's diff output
which tends to split a type change into an add and a delete. But
core git's status has the notion of a T (typechange) flag for a
file. This introduces that into our status APIs and modifies the
diff code so it can be forced to not split type changes.
The adds a test for the submodule diff capabilities and then
fixes a few bugs with how the output is generated. It improves
the accuracy of OIDs in the diff delta object and makes the
submodule output more closely mirror the OIDs that will be used
by core git.
There are a few cases where diff should leave directories in
the diff list if we want to match core git, such as when the
directory contains a .git dir. That feature was lost when I
introduced some of the new submodule handling.
This restores that and then fixes a couple of related to diff
output that are triggered by having diffs with directories in
them.
Also, this adds a new flag that can be passed to diff if you
want diff output to actually include the file content of any
untracked files.
