There are many scattered functions that look into the contents of
buffers to do various text manipulations (such as escaping or
unescaping data, calculating text stats, guessing if content is
binary, etc). This groups all those functions together into a
new file and converts the code to use that.
This has two enhancements to existing functionality. The old
text stats function is significantly rewritten and the BOM
detection code was extended (although largely we can't deal with
anything other than a UTF8 BOM).
Also removes the unnecessary check for filter
length, since git_filters_apply does the right
thing when there are none, and it's more efficient
than this.
Initial implementation. The relevant code is in `blob.c`: the blob write
function has been split into smaller functions.
- Directly write a file to the ODB in streaming mode
- Directly write a symlink to the ODB in direct mode
- Apply a filter, and write a file to the ODB in direct mode
When trying to write a file, we first call `git_filter__load_for_file`,
which populates a filters array with the required filters based on the
filename.
If no filters are resolved to the filename, we can write to the ODB in
streaming mode straight from disk. Otherwise, we load the whole file in
memory and use double-buffering to apply the filter chain. We finish
by writing the file as a whole to the ODB.
