The base refspecs changing can be a cause of confusion as to what is the
current base refspec set and complicate saving the remote's
configuration.
Change `git_remote_add_{fetch,push}()` to update the configuration
instead of an instance.
This finally makes `git_remote_save()` a no-op, it will be removed in a
later commit.
While this will rarely be different from the default, having it in the
remote adds yet another setting it has to keep around and can affect its
behaviour. Move it to the options.
Instead of having it set in a different place from every other callback,
put it the main structure. This removes some state from the remote and
makes it behave more like clone, where the constructors are passed via
the options.
As a first step in removing the repository-saving logic, don't allow
chaning the url or push url from a remote object, but change the
configuration on the configuration immediately.
Having the setting be different from calling its actions was not a great
idea and made for the sake of the wrong convenience.
Instead of that, accept either fetch options, push options or the
callbacks when dealing with the remote. The fetch options are currently
only the callbacks, but more options will be moved from setters and
getters on the remote to the options.
This does mean passing the same struct along the different functions but
the typical use-case will only call git_remote_fetch() or
git_remote_push() and so won't notice much difference.
The push object knows which remote it's associated with, and therefore
does not need to keep its own copy of the callbacks stored in the
remote.
Remove the copy and simply access the callbacks struct within the
remote.
When writing a configuration file, we want to take a lock on the
new file (eg, `config.lock`) before opening the configuration file
(`config`) for reading so that we can prevent somebody from changing
the contents underneath us.
When updating a configuration file, we want to copy the old data
from the file to preserve comments and funny whitespace, instead
of writing it in some "canonical" format. Thus, we keep a
pointer to the start of the line and the line length to preserve
these things we don't care to rewrite.
Previously we would try to be clever when writing the configuration
file and try to stop parsing (and simply copy the rest of the old
file) when we either found the value we were trying to write,
or when we left the section that value was in, the assumption being
that there was no more work to do.
Regrettably, you can have another section with the same name later
in the file, and we must cope with that gracefully, thus we read the
whole file in order to write a new file.
Now, writing a file looks even more than reading. Pull the config
parsing out into its own function that can be used by both reading
and writing the configuration.
When checking out with a case-insensitive working directory, we
want to change the case of items in the working directory to
reflect changes that occured in the checkout target. Diff now
has an option to break case-changing renames into delete/add.
Using FindFirstFile and FindNextFile in win32 allows us to
use the directory information that is returned, instead of
us having to get the file attributes all over again, which
is a distinct cost savings on win32.
The _next method shouldn't take a path pointer (and a path_len
pointer) as 100% of current users use the full path and ignore
the filename.
Plus let's add some docs and a unit test.
