We do not error on "merge conflicts"; on the contrary, merge conflicts
are a normal part of merging. We only error on "checkout conflicts",
where a change exists in the index or the working directory that would
otherwise be overwritten by performing the checkout.
This *may* happen during merge (after the production of the new index
that we're going to checkout) but it could happen during any checkout.
We want to use the "checkout: moving from ..." message in order to let
git know when a change of branch has happened. Make the convenience
functions for this goal write this message.
The signature for the reflog is not something which changes
dynamically. Almost all uses will be NULL, since we want for the
repository's default identity to be used, making it noise.
In order to allow for changing the identity, we instead provide
git_repository_set_ident() and git_repository_ident() which allow a user
to override the choice of signature.
The old `allocfmt` is of no use to callers, as they are not able to free
the returned buffer. Export a new API that returns a static string that
doesn't need to be freed.
When diff finds an untracked directory, it emulates Git behavior
by looking inside the directory to see if there are any untracked
items inside it. If there are only ignored items inside the dir,
then diff considers it ignored, even if there is no direct ignore
rule for it.
Checkout was not copying this behavior - when it found an untracked
directory, it just treated it as untracked. Unfortunately, when
combined with GIT_CHECKOUT_REMOVE_UNTRACKED, this made is seem that
checkout (and stash, which uses checkout) was removing ignored
items when you had only asked it to remove untracked ones.
This commit moves the logic for advancing past an untracked dir
while scanning for non-ignored items into an iterator helper fn,
and uses that for both diff and checkout.
To emulate git, stash should not remove untracked git repositories
inside the parent repo, and checkout's REMOVE_UNTRACKED should
also skip over these items.
`git stash` actually prints a warning message for these items.
That should be possible with a checkout notify callback if you
wanted to, although it would require a bit of extra logic as things
are at the moment.
`git_submodule` objects were already refcounted internally in case
the submodule name was different from the path at which it was
stored. This makes that refcounting externally used as well, so
`git_submodule_lookup` and `git_submodule_add_setup` return an
object that requires a `git_submodule_free` when done.
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.
