With the isolation of complex reads, we can now try to refresh the
on-disk file before reading a value from it.
This changes the semantics a bit, as before we could be sure that a
string we got from the configuration was valid until we wrote or
refreshed. This is no longer the case, as a read can also invalidate the
pointer.
In order to have consistent views of the config files for remotes,
submodules et al. and a configuration that represents what is currently
stored on-disk, we need a way to provide a view of the configuration
that does not change.
The goal here is to provide the snapshotting part by creating a
read-only copy of the state of the configuration at a particular point
in time, which does not change when a repository's main config changes.
I introduced a leak into conflict cleanup by removing items from
inside the git_vector_remove_matching call. This simplifies the
code to just use one common way for the two conflict cleanup APIs.
When an index has an active snapshot, removing an item can cause
an error (inserting into the deferred deletion vector), so I made
the git_index_conflict_cleanup API return an error code. I felt
like this wasn't so bad since it is just like the other APIs.
I fixed up a couple of comments while I was changing the header.
The usefulness of these helpers came up for me while debugging
some of the iterator changes that I was making, so since they
have also been requested (albeit indirectly) I thought I'd include
them.
Again, laying groundwork for some index iterator changes, this
contains a bunch of code refactorings for index internals that
should make it easier down the line to add locking around index
modifications. Also this removes the redundant prefix_position
function and fixes some potential memory leaks.
git_branch_t is an enum so requesting GIT_BRANCH_LOCAL | GIT_BRANCH_REMOTE is not possible as it is not a member of the enum (at least VS2013 C++ complains about it).
This fixes a regression introduced in commit a667ca8298 (PR #1946).

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.
The reload_all call could end up dereferencing a NULL pointer if
there was an error while attempting to load the submodules config
data (i.e. invalid content in the gitmodules file). This fixes it.
`git_submodule` objects were already refcounted internally in case
the submodule name was different from the path at which it was
stored. This makes that refcounting externally used as well, so
`git_submodule_lookup` and `git_submodule_add_setup` return an
object that requires a `git_submodule_free` when done.
This finds a short id string that will unambiguously select the
given object, starting with the core.abbrev length (usually 7)
and growing until it is no longer ambiguous.
This adds `git_diff_buffers` and `git_patch_from_buffers`. This
also includes a bunch of internal refactoring to increase the
shared code between these functions and the blob-to-blob and
blob-to-buffer APIs, as well as some higher level assert helpers
in the tests to also remove redundancy.
* Make GIT_INLINE an internal definition so it cannot be used in
public headers
* Fix language in CONTRIBUTING
* Make index caps API use signed instead of unsigned values
This adds an API to amend an existing commit, basically a shorthand
for creating a new commit filling in missing parameters from the
values of an existing commit. As part of this, I also added a new
"sys" API to create a commit using a callback to get the parents.
This allowed me to rewrite all the other commit creation APIs so
that temporary allocations are no longer needed.
Let the user push committish objects and peel them to figure out which
commit to push to our queue.
This is for convenience and for allowing uses of
git_revwalk_push_glob(w, "tags")
with annotated tags.
Change the name to _matching() intead of _if(), and force _set_target()
to be a conditional update. If the user doesn't care about the old
value, they should use git_reference_create().
