When generating diffs for binary files, we load and decompress
the blobs in order to generate the actual diff, which can be very
costly. While we cannot avoid this for the case when we are
called with the `GIT_DIFF_SHOW_BINARY` flag, we do not have to
load the blobs in the case where this flag is not set, as the
caller is expected to have no interest in the actual content of
binary files.
Fix the issue by only generating a binary diff when the caller is
actually interested in the diff. As libgit2 uses heuristics to
determine that a blob contains binary data by inspecting its size
without loading from the ODB, this saves us quite some time when
diffing in a repository with binary files.
According to the reference the git_checkout_tree and git_checkout_head
functions should accept NULL in the opts field
This was broken since the opts field was dereferenced and thus lead to a
crash.
When calling `http_connect` on a subtransport whose stream is already
connected, we first close the stream in case no keep-alive is in use.
When doing so, we do not reset the transport's connection state,
though. Usually, this will do no harm in case the subsequent connect
will succeed. But when the connection fails we are left with a
substransport which is tagged as connected but which has no valid
stream attached.
Fix the issue by resetting the subtransport's connected-state when
closing its stream in `http_connect`.
The .gitignore file allows for patterns which unignore previous
ignore patterns. When unignoring a previous pattern, there are
basically three cases how this is matched when no globbing is
used:
1. when a previous file has been ignored, it can be unignored by
using its exact name, e.g.
foo/bar
!foo/bar
2. when a file in a subdirectory has been ignored, it can be
unignored by using its basename, e.g.
foo/bar
!bar
3. when all files with a basename are ignored, a specific file
can be unignored again by specifying its path in a
subdirectory, e.g.
bar
!foo/bar
The first problem in libgit2 is that we did not correctly treat
the second case. While we verified that the negative pattern
matches the tail of the positive one, we did not verify if it
only matches the basename of the positive pattern. So e.g. we
would have also negated a pattern like
foo/fruz_bar
!bar
Furthermore, we did not check for the third case, where a
basename is being unignored in a certain subdirectory again.
Both issues are fixed with this commit.
Support reading and writing index v4. Index v4 uses a very simple
compression scheme for pathnames, but is otherwise similar to index v3.

When failing to initialize a new stransport stream, we try to
release already allocated memory by calling out to
`git_stream_free`, which in turn called out to the stream's
`free` function pointer. As we only initialize the function
pointer later on, this leads to a `NULL` pointer exception.
Furthermore, plug another memory leak when failing to create the
SSL context.
Only provide the empty tree internally, which matches git's behavior.
If we provide the empty blob then any users trying to write it with
libgit2 would omit it from actually landing in the odb, which appear
to git proper as a broken repository (missing that object).
The `SSLCopyPeerTrust` call can succeed but fail to return a trust
object if it can't load the certificate chain and thus cannot check the
validity of a certificate. This can lead to us calling `CFRelease` on a
`NULL` trust object, causing a crash.
Handle this by returning ECERTIFICATE.
Since writing multiple objects may all already exist in a single
packfile, avoid freshening that packfile repeatedly in a tight loop.
Instead, only freshen pack files every 2 seconds.
Don't try to determine when sysdirs are uninitialized. Instead, simply
initialize them all at `git_libgit2_init` time and never try to
reinitialize, except when consumers explicitly call `git_sysdir_set`.
Looking at the buffer length is especially problematic, since there may
no appropriate path for that value. (For example, the Windows-specific
programdata directory has no value on non-Windows machines.)
Previously we would continually trying to re-lookup these values,
which could get racy if two different threads are each calling
`git_sysdir_get` and trying to lookup / clear the value simultaneously.
After 1cd65991, we were passing a pointer to an `unsigned long` to
a function that now expected a pointer to a `size_t`. These types
differ on 64-bit Windows, which means that we trash the stack.
Use `size_t`s in the packbuilder to avoid this.
Somehow I ended up with the following in my ~/.gitconfig:
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = master
rebase = true
I assume something went crazy while I was running the git.git tests
some time ago, and that I never noticed until now.
This is not a good configuration, but it shouldn't cause problems. But
it does. Specifically, if you have this in your config, and you
perform the following set of actions:
create a remote
fetch from that remote
create a branch off of the remote master branch called "master"
delete the branch
delete the remote
The remote delete fails with the message "Could not find key
'branch.master.rebase' to delete". This is because it's iterating over
the config entries (including the ones in the global config) and
believes that there is a master branch which must therefore have these
config keys.

Ensure that we include conflicts when calling `git_index_read_index`,
which will remove conflicts in the index that do not exist in the new
target, and will add conflicts from the new target.
Most of `git_index_read_index` is common to reading any iterator.
Refactor it out in case we want to implement `read_tree` in terms of it
in the future.
