Unfortunately git-core uses the term "unborn branch" and "orphan
branch" interchangeably. However, "orphan" is only really there for
the checkout command, which has the `--orphan` option so it doesn't
actually create the branch.
Branches never have parents, so the distinction of a branch with no
parents is odd to begin with. Crucially, the error messages deal with
unborn branches, so let's use that.
This is a significant reorganization of the diff code to break it
into a set of more clearly distinct files and to document the new
organization. Hopefully this will make the diff code easier to
understand and to extend.
This adds a new `git_diff_driver` object that looks of diff driver
information from the attributes and the config so that things like
function content in diff headers can be provided. The full driver
spec is not implemented in the commit - this is focused on the
reorganization of the code and putting the driver hooks in place.
This also removes a few #includes from src/repository.h that were
overbroad, but as a result required extra #includes in a variety
of places since including src/repository.h no longer results in
pulling in the whole world.
Stash was sometimes obscuring the actual error code, replacing it
with a -1 when there was more descriptive value. This updates
stash to preserve the original error code more reliably along
with a variety of other error handling tweaks.
I believe this is an improvement, but arguably, preserving the
underlying error code may result in values that are harder to
interpret by the caller who does not understand the internals.
Discussion is welcome!
I've tried to map out the detailed behaviors of checkout and make
sure that we're handling the various cases correctly, along with
providing options to allow us to emulate "git checkout" and "git
checkout-index" with the various flags. I've thrown away flags
in the checkout API that seemed like clutter and added some new
ones. Also, I've converted the conflict callback to a general
notification callback so we can emulate "git checkout" output and
display "dirty" files.
As of this commit, the new behavior is not working 100% but some
of that is probably baked into tests that are not testing the
right thing. This is a decent snapshot point, I think, along the
way to getting the update done.
The diff constructor functions had some confusing names, where the
"old" side of the diff was coming after the "new" side. This
reverses the order in the function name to make it less confusing.
Specifically...
* git_diff_index_to_tree becomes git_diff_tree_to_index
* git_diff_workdir_to_index becomes git_diff_index_to_workdir
* git_diff_workdir_to_tree becomes git_diff_tree_to_workdir
This makes the diff functions that take callbacks both take
the payload parameter after the callback function pointers and
pass the payload as the last argument to the callback function
instead of the first. This should make them consistent with
other callbacks across the API.
A number of diff APIs and the `git_checkout_index` API take a
`git_repository` object an operate on the index. This updates
them to take a `git_index` pointer explicitly and only fall back
on the `git_repository` index if the index input is NULL. This
makes it easier to operate on a temporary index.
This is a major reworking of checkout strategy options. The
checkout code is now sensitive to the contents of the HEAD tree
and the new options allow you to update the working tree so that
it will match the index content only when it previously matched
the contents of the HEAD. This allows you to, for example, to
distinguish between removing files that are in the HEAD but not
in the index, vs just removing all untracked files.
Because of various corner cases that arise, etc., this required
some additional capabilities in rmdir and other utility functions.
This includes the beginnings of an implementation of code to read
a partial tree into the index based on a pathspec, but that is
not enabled because of the possibility of creating conflicting
index entries.
