When a list of refspecs is passed to fetch (what git would consider
refspec passed on the command-line), we not only need to perform the
updates described in that refspec, but also update the remote-tracking
branch of the fetched remote heads according to the remote's configured
refspecs.
These "fetches" are not however to be written to FETCH_HEAD as they
would be duplicate data, and it's not what the user asked for.
The configured/base fetch refspecs need to be taken into account in
order to implement opportunistic remote-tracking branch updates. DWIM
them and store them in the struct, but don't do anything with them yet.
We can only DWIM when we've connected to the remote and have the list of
the remote's references. Adding or setting the refspecs should not
trigger an attempt to DWIM the refspecs as we typically cannot do it,
and even if we did, we would not use them for the current fetch.
With opportunistic ref updates, git has introduced the concept of having
base refspecs *and* refspecs that are active for a particular fetch.
Let's start by letting the user override the refspecs for download.
This option make it easy to ignore anything about the server we're
connecting to, which is bad security practice. This was necessary as we
didn't use to expose detailed information about the certificate, but now
that we do, we should get rid of this.
If the user wants to ignore everything, they can still provide a
callback which ignores all the information passed.
If the certificate validation fails (or always in the case of ssh),
let the user decide whether to allow the connection.
The data structure passed to the user is the native certificate
information from the underlying implementation, namely OpenSSL or
WinHTTP.
git_remote_set_transport now takes a transport factory rather than a transport
git_clone_options now allows the caller to specify a remote creation callback
A symref inside the namespace gets renamed, we should make it point to
the target's new name.
This is for the origin/HEAD -> origin/master type of situations.
There is no reason why we need to use a callback here. A string array
fits better with the usage, as this is not an event and we don't need
anything from the user.
We must make sure that the name pointer remains valid, so make sure to
allocate the new one before freeing the old one and swap them so the
user never sees an invalid pointer.
We don't allow renames of anonymous remotes, so there's no need to
handle them.
A remote is always associated with a repository, so there's no need to
check for that.
Tighten up which references we consider for renaming so we don't try to
rename unrelated ones and end up with unexplained references.
If there is a reference on the target namespace, git overwrites it, so
let's do the same.
When removing the remote-tracking branches, build up the list and remove
in two steps, working around an issue with the iterator. Removing while
we're iterating over the refs can cause us to miss references.
Inside `git_remote_load`, the calls to `get_optional_config` use
`giterr_clear` to unset any errors that are set due to missing config
keys. If neither a fetch nor a push url config was found for a remote,
we should set an error again.
When the current branch is unborn, git will still mark the current
branch's upstream for-merge if there is an upstream configuration. The
only non-constrived case is cloning from an empty repository which then
gains history. origin's master should be marked for-merge.
In order to do this, we cannot use the high-level wrappers that expect a
reference, as we may not have one. Move over to the internal ones that
expect a reference name, which we do have.
This fixes `git_submodule_sync` to correctly update the remote URL
of the default branch of the submodule along with the URL in the
parent repository config (i.e. match core Git's behavior).
Also move some useful helper logic from the submodule code into
a shared config API `git_config__update_entry` that can either set
or delete an entry with constraints like not overwriting or not
creating a new entry. I used that helper to update a couple other
places in the code.
The order in this function is the opposite to what
create_with_fetchspec() has, so change this one, as url-then-refspec is
what git does.
As we need to break compilation and the swap doesn't do that, let's take
this opportunity to rename in-memory remotes to anonymous as that's
really what sets them apart.
