The routines to push and pop ignore files while traversing a
directory had some issues. In particular, setting up the initial
list would sometimes push an ignore file before it ought to be
applied if the starting path was a directory containing an ignore
file. Also, the pop function was not always matching the right
part of the path and would fail to pop ignores from the list in
some cases.
This adds some tests that exercise a particular problematic case
and then fixes the problems that I could find related to this.
At some point, I'd like to isolate this ignore rule management
code and rewrite it, but that's a larger project and right now,
I'll opt to just try to fix the broken behaviors.
This rolls back the changes to fnmatch parsing from commit
2e40a60e84 except for the tests
that were added. Instead this adds couple of new flags that can
be passed in when attempting to parse an fnmatch pattern. Also,
this changes the pathspec match logic to special case matching a
filename with a '!' prefix against a negative pattern.
This fixes the build.
Command line Git sometimes generates an error message if given a
pathspec that contains an exact match to an ignored file (provided
--force isn't also given). This adds an internal function that
makes it easy to check it that has happened. Right now, I'm not
creating a public API for this because that would get a little
more complicated with a need for callbacks for all invalid paths.
This converts many of the config lookups that are done around the
library to use the repository config cache. This was everything I
could find that wasn't part of diff (which requires a larger fix).
The goal of this work is to expose the search logic for "global",
"system", and "xdg" files through the git_libgit2_opts() interface.
Behind the scenes, I changed the logic for finding files to have a
notion of a git_strarray that represents a search path and to store
a separate search path for each of the three tiers of config file.
For each tier, I implemented a function to initialize it to default
values (generally based on environment variables), and then general
interfaces to get it, set it, reset it, and prepend new directories
to it.
Next, I exposed these interfaces through the git_libgit2_opts
interface, reusing the GIT_CONFIG_LEVEL_SYSTEM, etc., constants
for the user to control which search path they were modifying.
There are alternative designs for the opts interface / argument
ordering, so I'm putting this phase out for discussion.
Additionally, I ended up doing a little bit of clean up regarding
attr.h and attr_file.h, adding a new attrcache.h so the other two
files wouldn't have to be included in so many places.
To answer if a single given file should be ignored, the path to
that file has to be processed progressively checking that there
are no intermediate ignored directories in getting to the file
in question. This enables that, fixing the broken old behavior,
and adds tests to exercise various ignore situations.
This creates a public API for adding to the internal ignores
list, which already existing but was not accessible.
This adds the new default value for core.excludesfile also.
Depending on the operation, we need to consider gitattributes
in both the work dir and the index. This adds a parameter to
all of the gitattributes related functions that allows user
control of attribute reading behavior (i.e. prefer workdir,
prefer index, only use index).
This fix also covers allowing us to check attributes (and
hence do diff and status) on bare repositories.
This was a somewhat larger change that I hoped because it had
to change the cache key used for gitattributes files.
We were not following the git behavior for leading slashes
in path names when matching git ignores and git attribute
file patterns. This should fix issue #638.
This converts the git attr related code (including ignores) and
the git diff related code (and implicitly the status code) to use
`git_pools` for storing strings. This reduces the number of small
blocks allocated dramatically.
This adds support for a bunch of core.* settings that affect
diff and status, plus fixes up some incorrect implementations
of those settings from before. Also, this cleans up the
handling of config settings in the new submodules code and
in the old attrs/ignore code.
This continues to add other files to the new error handling
style. I think the only real concerns here are that there are
a couple of error return cases that I have converted to asserts,
but I think that it was the correct thing to do given the new
error style.
This makes so much sense that I can't believe it hasn't been done
before. Kill the old `git_fbuffer` and read files straight into
`git_buf` objects.
Also: In order to fully support 4GB files in 32-bit systems, the
`git_buf` implementation has been changed from using `ssize_t` for
storage and storing negative values on allocation failure, to using
`size_t` and changing the buffer pointer to a magical pointer on
allocation failure.
Hopefully this won't break anything.
This update addresses all of the feedback in pull request #570.
The biggest change was to create actual linked list stacks for
storing the tree and workdir iterator state. This cleaned up
the code a ton. Additionally, all of the static functions had
their 'git_' prefix removed, and a lot of other unnecessary
changes were removed from the original patch.
This create a new git_iterator type of object that provides a
uniform interface for iterating over the index, an arbitrary
tree, or the working directory of a repository.
As part of this, git ignore support was extended to support
push and pop of directory-based ignore files as the working
directory is being traversed (so the array of ignores does
not have to be recreated at each directory during traveral).
There are a number of other small utility functions in buffer,
path, vector, and fileops that are included in this patch
that made the iterator implementation cleaner.
When building an attr path object, the code that checks if the
file is a directory was evaluating the file as a relative path
to the current working directory, instead of using the repo root.
This lead to inconsistent behavior.
This takes all of the functions that look up simple data about
paths (such as `git_futils_isdir`) and moves them over to path.h
(becoming `git_path_isdir`). This leaves fileops.h just with
functions that actually manipulate the filesystem or look at
the file contents in some way.
As part of this, the dir.h header which is really just for win32
support was moved into win32 (with some minor changes).
Per issue #533, the handling of relative paths in attribute
and ignore files was not right. Fixed this by pre-joining
the relative path of the attribute/ignore file onto the match
string when a full path match is required.
Unfortunately, fixing this required a bit more code than I
would have liked because I had to juggle things around so that
the fnmatch parser would have sufficient information to prepend
the relative path when it was needed.
After reviewing the gitignore support with Vicent, we came up
with a list of minor cleanups to prepare for merge, including:
* checking git_repository_config error returns
* renaming git_ignore_is_ignored and moving to status.h
* fixing next_line skipping to include \r skips
* commenting on where ignores are and are not included
This contains fixes for several issues discovered by MSVC and
by valgrind, including some bad data access, some memory
leakage (in where certain files were not being successfully
added to the cache), and some code simplification.
This gets rid of the crazy macro version of git_path_walk_up
and makes it into a normal function that takes a callback
parameter. This turned out not to be too messy.
This fixes issue 532 that attributes (and gitignores) could not
be checked for files that don't exist. It should be possible to
query such things regardless of the existence of the file.
Adds support for .gitignore files to git_status_foreach() and
git_status_file(). This includes refactoring the gitattributes
code to share logic where possible. The GIT_STATUS_IGNORED flag
will now be passed in for files that are ignored (provided they
are not already in the index or the head of repo).
