Validating the workdir should not compare HEAD to working
directory - this is both inefficient (as it ignores the cache)
and incorrect. If we had legitimately allowed changes in the
index (identical to the merge result) then comparing HEAD to
workdir would reject these changes as different. Further, this
will identify files that were filtered strangely as modified,
while testing with the cache would prevent this.
Also, it's stupid slow.
The checkout code used to defer removal of "blocking" files in
checkouts until the blocked item was actually being written (since
we have already checked that the removing the block is acceptable
according to the update rules). Unfortunately, this resulted in
an intermediate index state where both the blocking and new items
were in the index which is no longer allowed. Now we just remove
the blocking item in the first pass so it never needs to coexist.
In cases where there are typechanges, this could result in a bit
more churn of removing and recreating intermediate directories,
but I'm going to assume that is an unusual case and the churn will
not be too costly.
There were some confusing issues mixing up the number of bytes
written to the zstream output buffer with the number of bytes
consumed from the zstream input. This reorganizes the zstream
API and makes it easier to deflate an arbitrarily large input
while still using a fixed size output.
This removes the fetchRecurse compiler warnings and makes the
behavior match the other submodule options (i.e. the in-memory
setting can be reset to the on-disk value).
When three-way merging indexes, we previously changed each path
as we read them, which would lead to us adding an index entry for
'foo', then removing an index entry for 'foo/file'. With the new
index requirements, this is not allowed. Removing entries in the
merged index, then adding them, resolves this. In the previous
example, we now remove 'foo/file' before adding 'foo'.
In case insensitive index mode, we would stop at a prefixed entry,
treating the provided search key length as a substring, not the
length of the string to match.
Writing a sample Javascript driver pointed out some extra
whitespace handling that needed to be done in the diff driver.
This adds some tests with some sample javascript code that I
pulled off of GitHub just to see what would happen. Also, to
clean up the userdiff test data, I did a "git gc" and packed
up the test objects.
Since I don't have permission yet on the code from Git, I decided
I'd take a stab at writing patterns for PHP and Javascript myself.
I think these are pretty weak, but probably better than the
default behavior without them.
I contacted a number of Git authors and lined up their permission
to relicense their work for use in libgit2 and copied over their
code for diff driver xfuncname patterns. At this point, the code
I've copied is taken verbatim from core Git although Thomas Rast
warned me that the C++ patterns, at least, really need an update.
I've left off patterns where I don't feel like I have permission
at this point until I hear from more authors.
Reorganize the builtin driver table slightly so that core Git
builtin definitions can be imported verbatim. Then take a few of
the core Git drivers and pull them in.
This also creates a test of diffs with the builtin HTML driver
which led to some small error handling fixes in the driver
selection logic.
This extends the diff driver parser to support multiline driver
definitions along with ! prefixing for negated matches. This
brings the driver function pattern parsing in line with core Git.
This also adds an internal table of driver definitions and a
fallback code path that will look in that table for diff drivers
that are set with attributes without having a definition in the
config file. Right now, I just populated the table with a kind
of simple HTML definition that is similar to the core Git def.
Don't try to determine whether the system supports file modes
when putting the tree data in the index during checkout. The tree's
mode is canonical and did not come from stat(2) in the first place.
It's hard or even impossible to correctly free the string buffer
allocated by git_patch_to_str in some circumstances. Drop the function
so people have to use git_patch_to_buf instead - git_buf has a dedicated
destructor.
Returning library-allocated strings from libgit2 works fine on Linux,
but may cause problems on Windows because there is no one C Runtime that
everything links against. With libgit2 not exposing its own allocator,
freeing the string is a gamble.
git_patch_to_str already serializes to a buffer, then returns the
underlying memory. Expose the functionality directly, so callers can use
the git_buf_free function to free the memory later.
The "merge none" (don't automerge) flag was only to aide in
merge trivial tests. We can easily determine whether merge
trivial resulted in a trivial merge or an automerge by examining
the REUC after automerge has completed.
The default merge_file level was XDL_MERGE_MINIMAL, which will
produce conflicts where there should not be in the case where
both sides were changed identically. Change the defaults to be
more aggressive (XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS) which will more aggressively
compress non-conflicts. This matches git.git's defaults.
Increase testing around reverting a previously reverted commit to
illustrate this problem.
Any well-behaved program should write a descriptive message to the
reflog whenever it updates a reference. Let's make this more prominent
by removing the version without the reflog parameters.
This changes git_signature_dup to actually honor oom conditions raised by
the call to git__strdup. It also aligns it with the error code return
pattern used everywhere else.
