This changes `git_index_read` to have two modes - a hard index
reload that always resets the index to match the on-disk data
(which was the old behavior) and a soft index reload that uses
the timestamp / file size information and only replaces the index
data if the file on disk has been modified.
This then updates the git_status code to do a soft reload unless
the new GIT_STATUS_OPT_NO_REFRESH flag is passed in.
This also changes the behavior of the git_diff functions that use
the index so that when an index is not explicitly passed in (i.e.
when the functions call git_repository_index for you), they will
also do a soft reload for you.
This intentionally breaks the file signature of git_index_read
because there has been some confusion about the behavior previously
and it seems like all existing uses of the API should probably be
examined to select the desired behavior.
These changes fix the basic problem with GIT_DIFF_REVERSE being
broken for text diffs. The reversed diff entries were getting
added to the git_diff correctly, but some of the metadata was kept
incorrectly in a way that prevented the text diffs from being
generated correctly. Once I fixed that, it became clear that it
was not possible to merge reversed diffs correctly. This has a
first pass at fixing that problem. We probably need more tests
to make sure that is really fixed thoroughly.
Seems that regexp in Mac OS X and Linux were behaving
differently: while in OS X the empty string didn't
match any value, in Linux it was matching all of them,
so the the second fetch refspec was overwritting the
first one, instead of creating a new one.
Using an unmatcheable regular expression solves the
problem (and seems to be portable).
At some moment git_config_delete_entry lost the ability to delete one entry of
a multivar configuration. The moment you had more than one fetch or push
ref spec for a remote you will not be able to save that remote anymore. The
changes in network::remote::remotes::save show that problem.
I needed to create a new git_config_delete_multivar because I was not able to
remove one or several entries of a multivar config with the current API.
Several tries modifying how git_config_set_multivar(..., NULL) behaved were
not successful.
git_config_delete_multivar is very similar to git_config_set_multivar, and
delegates into config_delete_multivar of config_file. This function search
for the cvar_t that will be deleted, storing them in a temporal array, and
rebuilding the linked list. After calling config_write to delete the entries,
the cvar_t stored in the temporal array are freed.
There is a little fix in config_write, it avoids an infinite loop when using
a regular expression (case for the multivars). This error was found by the
test network::remote::remotes::tagopt.
This tells the server that we speak it, but we don't make use of its
extra information to determine if there's a better place to stop
negotiating.
In a somewhat-related change, reorder the capabilities so we ask for
them in the same order as git does.
Also take this opportunity to factor out a fairly-indented portion of
the negotiation logic.
It was there to keep it apart from the one which read in from a file on
disk. This other indexer does not exist anymore, so there is no need for
anything other than git_indexer to refer to it.
While here, rename _add() function to _append() and _finalize() to
_commit(). The former change is cosmetic, while the latter avoids
talking about "finalizing", which OO languages use to mean something
completely different.
This reorganizes a few of the examples so that the main function
comes first with the argument parsing extracted into a helper
that can come at the end of the file (so the example focuses more
on the use of libgit2 instead of command line support). This also
creates a shared examples/common.[ch] so that useful helper funcs
can be shared across examples instead of repeated.
