I find the showindex example to be pretty useful on occasion, but
there were are couple of output tweaks I wanted, plus I wanted the
ability to specify a path to an actual index file instead of having
to open the whole repository. This makes those changes and expands
the example slightly.
When normalizing a reference name, if there is an error because
the name is invalid, then the memory allocated for storing the
name could be leaked if the caller was not careful and assumed
that the error return code meant that no allocation had occurred.
This fixes that by explicitly deallocating the reference name
buffer if there is an error in normalizing the name.
An earlier change to `git_diff_from_iterators` introduced a
memory leak where the allocated spoolandsort iterator was not
returned to the caller and thus not freed.
One proposal changes all iterator APIs to use git_iterator** so
we can reallocate the iterator at will, but that seems unexpected.
This commit makes it so that an iterator can be changed in place.
The callbacks are isolated in a separate structure and a pointer
to that structure can be reassigned by the spoolandsort extension.
This means that spoolandsort doesn't create a new iterator; it
just allocates a new block of callbacks (along with space for its
own extra data) and swaps that into the iterator.
Additionally, since spoolandsort is only needed to switch the
case sensitivity of an iterator, this simplifies the API to only
take the ignore_case boolean and to be a no-op if the iterator
already matches the requested case sensitivity.
Up to now, on windows we don't even bother to look if the user has a zlib
available somwhere.
In almost all larger commercial projects i've participated in, it was not
at all uncommon to have such a dependency somewhere in the source tree and
use it whereever required.
Searching for it, even if it's unlikely to be present, allows for such a
scenario (i.e. by prefilling the CMake-Cache).
