We used to require loose references to contain only an OID (possibly
after trimming the string). This is however not enough for letting us
lookup FETCH_HEAD, which can have a lot of content after the initial
OID.
Change the parsing rules so that a loose refernce must e at least 40
bytes long and the 41st (if it's there) must be accepted by
isspace(3). This makes the trim unnecessary, so only do it for
symrefs. This fixes#977.
The fix for fetching from empty repositories (22935b06d protocol:
don't store flushes; 2012-10-07) forgot to take into account the
deletion of the flush pkt in the HTTP transport. As a result, the HEAD
ref advertisement where we detect the remote's capabilities was
deleted instead. Fix this.
The adds a test for the submodule diff capabilities and then
fixes a few bugs with how the output is generated. It improves
the accuracy of OIDs in the diff delta object and makes the
submodule output more closely mirror the OIDs that will be used
by core git.
There are a few cases where diff should leave directories in
the diff list if we want to match core git, such as when the
directory contains a .git dir. That feature was lost when I
introduced some of the new submodule handling.
This restores that and then fixes a couple of related to diff
output that are triggered by having diffs with directories in
them.
Also, this adds a new flag that can be passed to diff if you
want diff output to actually include the file content of any
untracked files.
The reference is only needed inside the function. We mistakenly
increased the reference counter causing the ODB not to get freed and
leaking descriptors.
Storing flushes in the refs vector doesn't let us recognize when the
remote is empty, as we'd always introduce at least one element into
it. These flushes aren't necessary, so we can simply ignore them.
We don't have anything useful that we could do with that oid anyway (We
need to query the submodule for the HEAD commit instead).
Without this, the following code creates the error "Failed to read
descriptor: Is a directory" when run against the submod2 test-case:
const char* oidstr = "873585b94bdeabccea991ea5e3ec1a277895b698";
git_tree* tree = resolve_commit_oid_to_tree(g_repo, oidstr);
git_diff_list* diff = NULL;
cl_assert(tree);
cl_git_pass(git_diff_workdir_to_tree(g_repo, NULL, tree, &diff));
