This changes the get_entry() method to return a refcounted version of
the config entry, which you have to free when you're done.
This allows us to avoid freeing the memory in which the entry is stored
on a refresh, which may happen at any time for a live config.
For this reason, get_string() has been forbidden on live configs and a
new function get_string_buf() has been added, which stores the string in
a git_buf which the user then owns.
The functions which parse the string value takea advantage of the
borrowing to parse safely and then release the entry.
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.
Git for Windows will handle UNC paths only when in forward-slash
format, eg "//server/path". When given a UNC path as a remote,
rewrite standard format ("\\server\path") into this ridiculous
format.
* Move the transport registration mechanisms into a new header under
'sys/' because this is advanced stuff.
* Remove the 'priority' argument from the registration as it adds
unnecessary complexity. (Since transports cannot decline to operate,
only the highest priority transport is ever executed.) Users who
require per-priority transports can implement that in their custom
transport themselves.
* Simplify registration further by taking a scheme (eg "http") instead
of a prefix (eg "http://").
As git_clone now has callbacks to configure the details of the
repository and remote, remove the lower-level functions from the public
API, as they lack some of the logic from git_clone proper.
git_remote_set_transport now takes a transport factory rather than a transport
git_clone_options now allows the caller to specify a remote creation callback
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).
Cloning from an empty repo must set master's upstream to origin's
master, even if neither of them exist.
Fetching from a non-empty origin must then mark the master branch
for-merge. This currently fails.
Clone callbacks can return non-zero values to cancel the clone.
This adds some tests to verify that this actually works and updates
the documentation to be clearer that this can happen and that the
return value will be propagated back by the clone function.
