When we insert a conflict in a case-insensitive index, accept the
new entry's path as the correct case instead of leaving the path we
already had.
This puts `git_index_conflict_add()` on the same level as
`git_index_add()` in this respect.
On case insensitive platforms, allow `git_index_add` to provide a new
path for an existing index entry. Previously, we would maintain the
case in an index entry without the ability to change it (except by
removing an entry and re-adding it.)
Higher-level functions (like `git_index_add_bypath` and
`git_index_add_frombuffers`) continue to keep the old path for easier
usage.
We create a lockfile to update files under GIT_DIR. Sometimes these
files are actually located elsewhere and a symlink takes their place. In
that case we should lock and update the file at its final location
rather than overwrite the symlink.
This lock/unlock pair allows for the cller to lock a configuration file
to avoid concurrent operations.
It also allows for a transactional approach to updating a configuration
file. If multiple updates must be made atomically, they can be done
while the config is locked.
Removing a reflog upon ref deletion is something which only some
backends might wish to do. Backends which are database-backed may wish
to archive a reflog, log-based ones may not need to do anything.
The function was removed, but its declaration and changelog entry about
its removal were forgotten.
The comment in the test doesn't make any sense as the function doesn't
exist anymore, so get rid of it as well.
Allow custom filters with wildcard attributes, so that clients
can support some random `filter=foo` in a .gitattributes and look
up the corresponding smudge/clean commands in the configuration file.
This allows the user to look up fields which we don't parse in libgit2,
and allows them to access gpgsig or mergetag fields if they wish to
check the signature.
We do not error on "merge conflicts"; on the contrary, merge conflicts
are a normal part of merging. We only error on "checkout conflicts",
where a change exists in the index or the working directory that would
otherwise be overwritten by performing the checkout.
This *may* happen during merge (after the production of the new index
that we're going to checkout) but it could happen during any checkout.
Mark the `old_file` and `new_file` sides of a delta with a new bit,
`GIT_DIFF_FLAG_EXISTS`, that introduces that a particular side of
the delta exists in the diff.
This is useful for indicating whether a working directory item exists
or not, in the presence of a conflict. Diff users may have previously
used DELETED to determine this information.
It's not always obvious the mapping between stage level and
conflict-ness. More importantly, this can lead otherwise sane
people to write constructs like `if (!git_index_entry_stage(entry))`,
which (while technically correct) is unreadable.
Provide a nice method to help avoid such messy thinking.
When diffing against an index, return a new `GIT_DELTA_CONFLICTED`
delta type for items that are conflicted. For a single file path,
only one delta will be produced (despite the fact that there are
multiple entries in the index).
Index iterators now have the (optional) ability to return conflicts
in the index. Prior to this change, they would be omitted, and callers
(like diff) would omit conflicted index entries entirely.
This can be used by tools to show mesages about failing to communicate
with the server. The error message in this case will often contain the
server's error message, as far as it managed to send anything.
When we fail to read from stdout, it's typically because the URL was
wrong and the server process has sent some output over its stderr
output.
Read that output and set the error message to whatever we read from it.
These were left over from the culling as it's not clear which use-cases
might benefit from this. It is not clear that we want to support any
use-case which depends on changing the remote's idea of the base
refspecs rather than passing in different per-operation refspec list, so
remove these functions.
