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).
Returning NULL for the string when we haven't signaled an error
condition is counter-intuitive and causes unnecessary edge
cases. Return an empty string when asking for a string value for a
configuration variable such as '[section] var' to avoid these edge
cases.
If the distinction between no value and an empty value is needed, this
can be retrieved from the entry directly. As a side-effect, this
change stops the int parsing functions from segfaulting on such a
variable.
This adds a new API that allows users to reload the config if the
file has changed on disk. A new config callback function to
refresh the config was added.
The modified time and file size are used to test if the file needs
to be reloaded (and are now stored in the disk backend object).
In writing tests, just using mtime was a problem / race, so I
wanted to check file size as well. To support that, I extended
`git_futils_readbuffer_updated` to optionally check file size in
addition to mtime, and I added a new function `git_filebuf_stats`
to fetch the mtime and size for an open filebuf (so that the
config could be easily refreshed after a write).
Lastly, I moved some similar file checking code for attributes
into filebuf. It is still only being used for attrs, but it
seems potentially reusable, so I thought I'd move it over.
Added `struct git_config_entry`: a git_config_entry contains the key, the value, and the config file level from which a config element was found.
Added `git_config_open_level`: build a single-level focused config object from a multi-level one.
We are now storing `git_config_entry`s in the khash of the config_file
This file is not just read if the global config file (%HOME%/.gitconfig)
is not found, however, it is used everytime but with lower priority.

This cleans up a number of items suggested during code review
with @vmg, including:
* renaming "outside repo" config API to `git_config_open_default`
* killing the `git_config_open_global` API
* removing the `git_` prefix from the static functions in fileops
* removing some unnecessary functionality from the "cp" command
This extends git_repository_init_ext further with support for
initializing the repository from an external template directory
and with support for the "create shared" type flags that make a
set GID repository directory.
This also adds tests for much of the new functionality to the
existing `repo/init.c` test suite.
Also, this adds a bunch of new utility functions including a
very general purpose `git_futils_mkdir` (with the ability to
make paths and to chmod the paths post-creation) and a file
tree copying function `git_futils_cp_r`. Also, this includes
some new path functions that were useful to keep the code
simple.
Adding a new config iteration function that let's you iterate
over just the config entries that match a particular regular
expression. The old foreach becomes a simple use of this with
an empty pattern.
This also fixes an apparent bug in the existing `git_config_foreach`
where returning a non-zero value from the iteration callback was
not correctly aborting the iteration and the returned value was
not being propogated back to the caller of foreach.
Added to tests to cover all these changes.
This updates khash.h with some extra features (like error checking
on allocations, ability to use wrapped malloc, foreach calls, etc),
creates two high-level wrappers around khash: `git_khash_str` and
`git_khash_oid` for string-to-void-ptr and oid-to-void-ptr tables,
then converts all of the old usage of `git_hashtable` over to use
these new hashtables.
For `git_khash_str`, I've tried to create a set of macros that
yield an API not too unlike the old `git_hashtable` API. Since
the oid hashtable is only used in one file, I haven't bother to
set up all those macros and just use the khash APIs directly for
now.
Add a new command `git_repository_open_ext` with extended options
that control how searching for a repository will be done. The
existing `git_repository_open` and `git_repository_discover` are
reimplemented on top of it. We may want to change the default
behavior of `git_repository_open` but this commit does not do that.
Improve support for "gitdir" files where the work dir is separate
from the repo and support for the "separate-git-dir" config. Also,
add support for opening repos created with `git-new-workdir` script
(although I have only confirmed that they can be opened, not that
all functions work correctly).
There are also a few minor changes that came up:
- Fix `git_path_prettify` to allow in-place prettifying.
- Fix `git_path_root` to support backslashes on Win32. This fix
should help many repo open/discover scenarios - it is the one
function called when opening before prettifying the path.
- Tweak `git_config_get_string` to set the "out" pointer to NULL
if the config value is not found. Allows some other cleanup.
- Fix a couple places that should have been calling
`git_repository_config__weakptr` and were not.
- Fix `cl_git_sandbox_init` clar helper to support bare repos.
This adds support for a bunch of core.* settings that affect
diff and status, plus fixes up some incorrect implementations
of those settings from before. Also, this cleans up the
handling of config settings in the new submodules code and
in the old attrs/ignore code.
When processing status for a newly checked out repo, it is
possible that there will be submodules that have not yet been
initialized. The only way to distinguish these from untracked
directories is to have some knowledge of submodules. This
commit adds a new submodule API which, given a name or path,
can determine if it appears to be a submodule and can give
information about the submodule.
Includes:
- Proper error reporting when encountering syntax errors in a
config file (file, line number, column).
- Rewritten `config_write`, now with 99% less goto-spaghetti
- Error state in `git_filebuf`: filebuf write functions no longer
need to be checked for error returns. If any of the writes performed
on a buffer fail, the last call to `git_filebuf_commit` or
`git_filebuf_hash` will fail accordingly and set the appropiate error
message. Baller!
Add support for git attribute macro definitions. Also, add
support for cache flush API to clear the attribute file content
cache when needed.
Additionally, improved the handling of global and system files,
making common utility functions in fileops and converting config
and attr to both use the common functions.
Adds a bunch more tests and fixed some memory leaks. Note that
adding macros required me to use refcounted attribute assignment
definitions, which complicated, but probably improved memory usage.
Instead of just setting the value to NULL, which gives unwanted
results when asking for that variable after deleting it, delete the
variable from the list and re-write the file.
This converts virtually all of the places that allocate GIT_PATH_MAX
buffers on the stack for manipulating paths to use git_buf objects
instead. The patch is pretty careful not to touch the public API
for libgit2, so there are a few places that still use GIT_PATH_MAX.
This extends and changes some details of the git_buf implementation
to add a couple of extra functions and to make error handling easier.
This includes serious alterations to all the path.c functions, and
several of the fileops.c ones, too. Also, there are a number of new
functions that parallel existing ones except that use a git_buf
instead of a stack-based buffer (such as git_config_find_global_r
that exists alongsize git_config_find_global).
This also modifies the win32 version of p_realpath to allocate whatever
buffer size is needed to accommodate the realpath instead of hardcoding
a GIT_PATH_MAX limit, but that change needs to be tested still.
The ownership semantics have been changed all over the library to be
consistent. There are no more "borrowed" or duplicated references.
Main changes:
- `git_repository_open2` and `3` have been dropped.
- Added setters and getters to hotswap all the repository owned
objects:
`git_repository_index`
`git_repository_set_index`
`git_repository_odb`
`git_repository_set_odb`
`git_repository_config`
`git_repository_set_config`
`git_repository_workdir`
`git_repository_set_workdir`
Now working directories/index files/ODBs and so on can be
hot-swapped after creating a repository and between operations.
- All these objects now have proper ownership semantics with
refcounting: they all require freeing after they are no longer
needed (the repository always keeps its internal reference).
- Repository open and initialization has been updated to keep in
mind the configuration files. Bare repositories are now always
detected, and a default config file is created on init.
- All the tests affected by these changes have been dropped from the
old test suite and ported to the new one.
Our previous assumption that all paths in Windows are encoded in UTF-8
is rather weak, specially when considering that Git is
encoding-agnostic.
These set of functions allow the user to change the library's active
codepage globally, so it is possible to access paths and files on all
international versions of Windows.
Note that the default encoding here is UTF-8 because we assume that 99%
of all Git repositories will be in UTF-8.
Also, if you use non-ascii characters in paths, anywhere, please burn on
a fire.
