Depending on the operation, we need to consider gitattributes
in both the work dir and the index. This adds a parameter to
all of the gitattributes related functions that allows user
control of attribute reading behavior (i.e. prefer workdir,
prefer index, only use index).
This fix also covers allowing us to check attributes (and
hence do diff and status) on bare repositories.
This was a somewhat larger change that I hoped because it had
to change the cache key used for gitattributes files.
This converts the git attr related code (including ignores) and
the git diff related code (and implicitly the status code) to use
`git_pools` for storing strings. This reduces the number of small
blocks allocated dramatically.
This updates to the latest clar which includes the helpers
`cl_assert_equal_s` and `cl_assert_equal_i`. Convert the code
over to use those and remove the old libgit2-only helpers.
This adds preliminary support for pathspecs to diff and status.
The implementation is not very optimized (it still looks at
every single file and evaluated the the pathspec match against
them), but it works.
The point of having `GIT_ATTR_TRUE` and `GIT_ATTR_FALSE` macros is to be
able to change the way that true and false values are stored inside of
the returned gitattributes value pointer.
However, if these macros are implemented as a simple rename for the
`git_attr__true` pointer, they will always be used with the `==`
operator, and hence we cannot really change the implementation to any
other way that doesn't imply using special pointer values and comparing
them!
We need to do the same thing that core Git does, which is using a
function macro. With `GIT_ATTR_TRUE(attr)`, we can change
internally the way that these values are stored to anything we want.
This commit does that, and rewrites a large chunk of the attributes test
suite to remove duplicated code for expected attributes, and to
properly test the function macro behavior instead of comparing
pointers.
