Since the SOVERSION doesn't need to follow the library's version and
simply needs to be monotonically increasing whenever we release
something that breaks the ABI, we can set some number and allow multiple
versions of the library to be installed side-by-side.
We start here with the minor version as that's what we release for now,
and it allows to backport this change to earlier versions.
There is no reason why we need to use a callback here. A string array
fits better with the usage, as this is not an event and we don't need
anything from the user.
The documentation has shown this as a single enum for a long time. These
should in fact be two enums. One with the bits for the flags and another
with the bits for the extended flags.
If requested, git_clone_local_into() will try to link the object files
instead of copying them.
This only works on non-Windows (since it doesn't have this) when both
are on the same filesystem (which are unix semantics).
When git is given such a path, it will perform a "local clone",
bypassing the git-aware protocol and simply copying over all objects
that exist in the source.
Copy this behaviour when given a local path.
Diff and status do not want core.safecrlf to actually raise an
error regardless of the setting, so this extends the filter API
with an additional options flags parameter and adds a flag so that
filters can be applied with GIT_FILTER_OPT_ALLOW_UNSAFE, indicating
that unsafe filter application should be downgraded from a failure
to a warning.
This is a proposed adjustment to the trace APIs. This makes the
trace levels into a bitmask so that they can be selectively enabled
and adds a callback-level payload, plus a message-level payload.
This makes it easier for me to a GIT_TRACE_PERF callbacks that
are simply bypassed if the PERF level is not set.
This adds an option to refresh the stat cache while generating
status. It also rips out the GIT_PERF stuff I had an makes use
of the trace API to keep statistics about what happens during diff.
When diff is scanning the working directory, if it finds a file
where it is not sure if the index entry matches the working dir,
it will recalculate the OID (which is pretty expensive). This
adds a new flag to diff so that if the OID calculation finds that
the file actually has not changed (i.e. just the modified time was
altered or such), then it will refresh the stat cache in the index
so that future calls to diff will not have to check the oid again.
This reorganized the diff OID calculation to make it easier to
correctly update the stat cache during a diff once the flags to
do so are enabled.
This includes marking the path of a git_index_entry as const so
we can make a "fake" git_index_entry with a "const char *" path
and not get warnings. I was a little surprised at how unobtrusive
this change was, but I think it's probably a good thing.
The current version of the commit creation and amend function are unsafe
to use when passing the update_ref parameter, as they do not check that
the reference at the moment of update points to what the user expects.
Make sure that we're moving history forward when we ask the library to
update the reference for us by checking that the first parent of the new
commit is the current value of the reference. We also make sure that the
ref we're updating hasn't moved between the read and the write.
Similarly, when amending a commit, make sure that the current tip of the
branch is the commit we're amending.
This takes the `--stat` and related example options in the example
diff.c program and converts them to use the `git_diff_get_stats`
API which nicely formats stats for you.
I went to add bar-graph scaling to the stats formatter and noticed
that the `git_diff_stats` structure was holding on to all of the
`git_patch` objects. Unfortunately, each of these objects keeps
the full text of the diff in memory, so this is very expensive. I
ended up modifying `git_diff_stats` to keep just the data that it
needs to keep and allowed it to release the patches. Then, I added
width scaling to the output on top of that.
In making the diff example program match 'git diff' output, I ended
up removing an newline from the sumamry output which I then had to
compensate for in the email formatting to match the expectations.
Lastly, I went through and refactored the tests to use a couple of
helper functions and reduce the overall amount of code there.
I was playing with "git diff-index" and wanted to be able to
emulate that behavior a little more closely with the diff example.
Also, I wanted to play with running `git_diff_tree_to_workdir`
directly even though core Git doesn't exactly have the equivalent,
so I added a command line option for that and tweaked some other
things in the example code.
This changes a minor output thing in that the "raw" print helper
function will no longer add ellipses (...) if the OID is not
actually abbreviated.
Allow the credentials callback to return GIT_PASSTHROUGH to make the
transports code behave as though none was set.
This should make it easier for bindings to behave closer to the C code
when there is no credentials callback set at their level.
