This added a flag to the `git_repository_set_workdir()` function
that enables generation of a `.git` gitlink file that links the
new workdir to the parent repository. Essentially, the flag tells
the function to write out the changes to disk to permanently set
the workdir of the repository to the new path.
If you pass this flag as true, then setting the workdir to something
other than the default workdir (i.e. the parent of the .git repo
directory), will create a plain file named ".git" with the standard
gitlink contents "gitdir: <repo-path>", and also update the
"core.worktree" and "core.bare" config values.
Setting the workdir to the default repo workdir will clear the
core.worktree flag (but still permanently set core.bare to false).
BTW, the libgit2 API does not currently provide a function for
clearing the workdir and converting a non-bare repo into a bare one.
Adding a new config iteration function that let's you iterate
over just the config entries that match a particular regular
expression. The old foreach becomes a simple use of this with
an empty pattern.
This also fixes an apparent bug in the existing `git_config_foreach`
where returning a non-zero value from the iteration callback was
not correctly aborting the iteration and the returned value was
not being propogated back to the caller of foreach.
Added to tests to cover all these changes.
So far they only create a repo, setup the "origin"
remote, and fetch. The API probably needs work as
well; there's no way to get progress information
at this point.
Also uncovered a shortcoming; git_remote_download
doesn't fetch over local transport.
This fixes git_index_add and git_index_append to behave more like
core git, preserving old filemode data in the index when adding
and/or appending with core.filemode = false.
This also has placeholder support for core.symlinks and
core.ignorecase, but those flags are not implemented (well,
symlinks has partial support for preserving mode information in
the same way that git does, but it isn't tested).
git_commit() and git_tag() no longer prettify the
message by default. This has to be taken care of
by the caller.
This has the nice side effect of putting the
caller in position to actually choose to strip
the comments or not.
There are three actual changes in this commit:
1. When the trailing newline of a file is removed in a diff, the
change will now be reported with `GIT_DIFF_LINE_DEL_EOFNL` passed
to the callback. Previously, the `ADD_EOFNL` constant was given
which was just an error in my understanding of when the various
circumstances arose. `GIT_DIFF_LINE_ADD_EOFNL` is deprecated and
should never be generated. A new newline is simply an `ADD`.
2. Rewrote the `diff_delta__merge_like_cgit` function that contains
the core logic of the `git_diff_merge` implementation. The new
version doesn't actually have significantly different behavior,
but the logic should be much more obvious, I think.
3. Fixed a bug in `git_diff_merge` where it freed a string pool
while some of the string data was still in use. This led to
`git_diff_print_patch` accessing memory that had been freed.
The rest of this commit contains improved documentation in `diff.h`
to make the behavior and the equivalencies with core git clearer,
and a bunch of new tests to cover the various cases, oh and a minor
simplification of `examples/diff.c`.
File modes were both not being ignored properly on platforms
where they should be ignored, nor be diffed consistently on
platforms where they are supported.
This change adds a number of diff and status filemode change
tests. This also makes sure that filemode-only changes are
included in the diff output when they occur and that filemode
changes are ignored successfully when core.filemode is false.
There is no code that automatically toggles core.filemode
based on the capabilities of the current platform, so the user
still needs to be careful in their .git/config file.
Welcome to yet another libgit2 release, this one being the
biggest we've shipped so far. Highlights on this release
include diff, branches, notes and submodules support. The new
diff API is shiny and powerful. Check it out.
Apologies, one more time, to all the early adopters for the
breaking API changes. We've been iterating on the error
handling for the library until we reached its current state,
which we believe it's significantly more usable both for normal
users and for developers of bindings to other languages.
Also, we've renamed a few legacy calls to ensure that the whole
external API uses a consistent naming scheme.
As always, check the API docs for the full list of new API calls
and backwards-incompatible changes.

The goal of this work is to rewrite git_status_file to use the
same underlying code as git_status_foreach.
This is done in 3 phases:
1. Extend iterators to allow ranged iteration with start and
end prefixes for the range of file names to be covered.
2. Improve diff so that when there is a pathspec and there is
a common non-wildcard prefix of the pathspec, it will use
ranged iterators to minimize excess iteration.
3. Rewrite git_status_file to call git_status_foreach_ext
with a pathspec that covers just the one file being checked.
Since ranged iterators underlie the status & diff implementation,
this is actually fairly efficient. The workdir iterator does
end up loading the contents of all the directories down to the
single file, which should ideally be avoided, but it is pretty
good.
Building a "shared object" (DLL) in Windows includes 2 steps:
- specify __declspec(dllexport)
when building the library itself. MSVC will disallow itself from
optimizing these symbols out and reference them in the PE's
Exports-Table.
Further, a static link library will be generated. This library
contains the symbols which are exported via the declsepc above.
The __declspec(dllexport) becomes part of the symbol-signature
(like parameter types in C++ are 'mangled' into the symbol name,
the export specifier is mingled with the name)
- specify __declspec(dllimport)
when using the library. This again mingles the declspec into the
name and declares the function / variable with external linkage.
cmake automatically adds -Dgit2_EXPORTS to the compiler arguments
when compiling the libgit2 project.
The 'git2' is the name specified via PROJECT() in CMakeLists.txt.
This makes the git attributes and git ignores cache check
stat information before using the file contents from the
cache. For cached files from the index, it checks the SHA
of the file instead. This should reduce the need to ever
call `git_attr_cache_flush()` in most situations.
This commit also fixes the `git_status_should_ignore` API
to use the libgit2 standard parameter ordering.
'git commit' and 'git tag -a' enforce some conventions, like cleaning up excess whitespace and making sure that the last line ends with a '\n'. This fix replicates this behavior.
Fixlibgit2/libgit2sharp#117
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.
This allows the caller to update an internal structure or update the
user output with the tips that were updated.
While in the area, only try to update the ref if the value is
different from its old one.
Trying to send every single line immediately won't give us any speed
improvement and duplicates the code we need for other transports. Make
the git transport use the same buffer functions as HTTP.
This changes the git_remote_download() API, but the existing one is
silly, so you don't get to complain.
The new API allows to know how much data has been downloaded, how many
objects we expect in total and how many we've processed.
Adds a new public reference function `git_reference_lookup_oid`
that directly resolved a reference name to an OID without returning
the intermediate `git_reference` object (hence, no free needed).
Internally, this adds a `git_reference_lookup_resolved` function
that combines looking up and resolving a reference. This allows
us to be more efficient with memory reallocation.
The existing `git_reference_lookup` and `git_reference_resolve`
are reimplmented on top of the new utility and a few places in the
code are changed to use one of the two new functions.
This adds preliminary support for pathspecs to diff and status.
The implementation is not very optimized (it still looks at
every single file and evaluated the the pathspec match against
them), but it works.
This will allow us to index a packfile as soon as we receive it from
the network as well as storing it with its final name so we don't need
to pass temporary file names around.
It's implemented in revwalk.c so it has access to the revision
walker's commit cache and related functions. The algorithm is the one
used by git, modified so it fits better with the library's functions.
The code was already there, so factor it out and let users push an OID
by giving it a reference name. Only refs to commits are
supported. Annotated tags will throw an error.
Add a new command `git_repository_open_ext` with extended options
that control how searching for a repository will be done. The
existing `git_repository_open` and `git_repository_discover` are
reimplemented on top of it. We may want to change the default
behavior of `git_repository_open` but this commit does not do that.
Improve support for "gitdir" files where the work dir is separate
from the repo and support for the "separate-git-dir" config. Also,
add support for opening repos created with `git-new-workdir` script
(although I have only confirmed that they can be opened, not that
all functions work correctly).
There are also a few minor changes that came up:
- Fix `git_path_prettify` to allow in-place prettifying.
- Fix `git_path_root` to support backslashes on Win32. This fix
should help many repo open/discover scenarios - it is the one
function called when opening before prettifying the path.
- Tweak `git_config_get_string` to set the "out" pointer to NULL
if the config value is not found. Allows some other cleanup.
- Fix a couple places that should have been calling
`git_repository_config__weakptr` and were not.
- Fix `cl_git_sandbox_init` clar helper to support bare repos.
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.
When processing status for a newly checked out repo, it is
possible that there will be submodules that have not yet been
initialized. The only way to distinguish these from untracked
directories is to have some knowledge of submodules. This
commit adds a new submodule API which, given a name or path,
can determine if it appears to be a submodule and can give
information about the submodule.
This fixes the bug that @nulltoken found (thank you!) where
if there were untracked directories alphabetically after the
last tracked item, the diff implementation would deref a NULL
pointer.
The fix involved the code which decides if it is necessary
to recurse into a directory in the working dir, so it was
easy to add a new option `GIT_STATUS_OPT_RECURSE_UNTRACKED_DIRS`
to control if the contents of untracked directories should be
included in status.
This adds support for roughly-right tracking of submodules
(although it does not recurse into submodules to detect
internal modifications a la core git), and it adds support
for including unmodified files in diff iteration if requested.
This is a work in progress. This adds two new sets of tests,
the issue_592 tests from @nulltoken's pull request #601 and
some new tests for submodules. The submodule tests still have
issues where the status is not reported correctly. That needs
to be fixed before merge.
This includes a few cleanups that came up while converting
these files.
This commit introduces a could new git error classes, including
the catchall class: GITERR_INVALID which I'm using as the class
for invalid and out of range values which are detected at too low
a level of library to use a higher level classification. For
example, an overflow error in parsing an integer or a bad letter
in parsing an OID string would generate an error in this class.
This converts the map validation function into a macro, tweaks
the GITERR_OS system error automatic appending, and adds a
tentative new error access API and some quick unit tests for
both the old and new error APIs.
This migrates odb.c, odb_loose.c, odb_pack.c and pack.c to
the new style of error handling. Also got the unix and win32
versions of map.c. There are some minor changes to other
files but no others were completely converted.
This also contains an update to filebuf so that a zeroed out
filebuf will not think that the fd (== 0) is actually open
(and inadvertently call close() on fd 0 if cleaned up).
Lastly, this was built and tested on win32 and contains a
bunch of fixes for the win32 build which was pretty broken.
Includes:
- Proper error reporting when encountering syntax errors in a
config file (file, line number, column).
- Rewritten `config_write`, now with 99% less goto-spaghetti
- Error state in `git_filebuf`: filebuf write functions no longer
need to be checked for error returns. If any of the writes performed
on a buffer fail, the last call to `git_filebuf_commit` or
`git_filebuf_hash` will fail accordingly and set the appropiate error
message. Baller!
This also includes droping `git_buf_lasterror` because it makes no sense
in the new system. Note that in most of the places were it has been
dropped, the code needs cleanup. I.e. GIT_ENOMEM is going away, so
instead it should return a generic `-1` and obviously not throw
anything.
This reverts the changes to the GIT_STATUS constants and adds a
new enumeration to describe the type of change in a git_diff_delta.
I don't love this solution, but it should prevent strange errors
from occurring for now. Eventually, I would like to unify the
various status constants, but it needs a larger plan and I just
wanted to eliminate this breakage quickly.
This is a major reorganization of the diff code. This changes
the diff functions to use the iterators for traversing the
content. This allowed a lot of code to be simplified. Also,
this moved the functions relating to outputting a diff into a
new file (diff_output.c).
This includes a number of other changes - adding utility
functions, extending iterators, etc. plus more tests for the
diff code. This also takes the example diff.c program much
further in terms of emulating git-diff command line options.
* Implemented git_diff_index_to_tree
* Reworked git_diff_options structure to handle more options
* Made most of the options in git_diff_options actually work
* Reorganized code a bit to remove some redundancy
* Added option parsing to examples/diff.c to test most options
This fixes several bugs, updates tests and docs, eliminates the
FILE* assumption in favor of printing callbacks for the diff patch
formatter helpers, and adds a "diff" example function that can
perform a diff from the command line.
This reworks the diff API to separate the steps of producing
a diff descriptions from formatting the diff. This will allow
us to share diff output code with the various diff creation
scenarios and will allow us to implement rename detection as
an optional pass that can be run on a diff list.
This gets the basic plumbing in place for git_diff_blob.
There is a known issue where additional parameters like
the number of lines of context to display on the diff
are not working correctly (which leads one of the new
unit tests to fail).
The point of having `GIT_ATTR_TRUE` and `GIT_ATTR_FALSE` macros is to be
able to change the way that true and false values are stored inside of
the returned gitattributes value pointer.
However, if these macros are implemented as a simple rename for the
`git_attr__true` pointer, they will always be used with the `==`
operator, and hence we cannot really change the implementation to any
other way that doesn't imply using special pointer values and comparing
them!
We need to do the same thing that core Git does, which is using a
function macro. With `GIT_ATTR_TRUE(attr)`, we can change
internally the way that these values are stored to anything we want.
This commit does that, and rewrites a large chunk of the attributes test
suite to remove duplicated code for expected attributes, and to
properly test the function macro behavior instead of comparing
pointers.
It's not unusual to want the walker to act on HEAD, so add a
convencience function for the case that the user doesn't already have
a resolved HEAD reference.
git_revwalk_{push,hide}_glob() lets you push the OIDs of references
that match the specified glob. This is the basics for what git.git
does with the rev-list options --branches, --tags, --remotes and
--glob.
This commit adds basic git notes support to libgit2, namely:
* git_note_read
* git_note_message
* git_note_oid
* git_note_create
* git_note_remove
In the long run, we probably want to provide some convenience callback
mechanism for merging and moving (filter-branch) notes.

This is legacy compat stuff for when `deflateBound` is not defined, but
we're not embedding zlib and that function is always available. Kill
that with fire.
git_commit_create is supposed to update the given reference
"update_ref", but segfaulted in case of a yet to be born

This lovely and much delayed release of libgit2 ships from the cold city
of Brussels, which is currently hosting FOSDEM 2012.
There's been plenty of changes since the latest stable release, here's a
full summary:
- Git Attributes support (see git2/attr.h)
There is now support to efficiently parse and retrieve information
from `.gitattribute` files in a repository. Note that this
information is not yet used e.g. when checking out files.
- .gitignore support
Likewise, all the operations that are affected by `.gitignore` files
now take into account the global, user and local ignores when
skipping the relevant files.
- Cleanup of the object ownership semantics
The ownership semantics for all repository subparts (index, odb,
config files, etc) has been redesigned. All these objects are now
reference counted, and can be hot-swapped in the middle of
execution, allowing for instance to add a working directory and an
index to a repository that was previously opened as bare, or to
change the source of the ODB objects after initialization.
Consequently, the repository API has been simplified to remove all
the `_openX` calls that allowed setting these subparts *before*
initialization.
- git_index_read_tree()
Git trees can now be read into the index.
- More reflog functionality
The reference log has been optimized, and new API calls to rename
and delete the logs for a reference have been added.
- Rewrite of the References code with explicit ownership semantics
The references code has been mostly rewritten to take into account
the cases where another Git application was modifying a repository's
references while the Library was running.
References are now explicitly loaded and free'd by the user, and
they may be reloaded in the middle of execution if the user suspects
that their values may have changed on disk. Despite the new
ownership semantics, the references API stays the same.
- Simplified the Remotes API
Some of the more complex Remote calls have been refactored into
higher level ones, to facilitate the usual `fetch` workflow of a
repository.
- Greatly improved thread-safety
The library no longer has race conditions when loading objects from
the same ODB and different threads at the same time. There's now
full TLS support, even for error codes. When the library is built
with `THREADSAFE=1`, the threading support must be globally
initialized before it can be used (see `git_threads_init()`)
- Tree walking API
A new API can recursively traverse trees and subtrees issuing callbacks for
every single entry.
- Tree diff API
There is basic support for diff'ing an index against two trees.
- Improved windows support
The Library is now codepage aware under Windows32: new API calls
allow the user to set the default codepage for the OS in order to
avoid strange Unicode errors.
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
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).
Add support for git attribute macro definitions. Also, add
support for cache flush API to clear the attribute file content
cache when needed.
Additionally, improved the handling of global and system files,
making common utility functions in fileops and converting config
and attr to both use the common functions.
Adds a bunch more tests and fixed some memory leaks. Note that
adding macros required me to use refcounted attribute assignment
definitions, which complicated, but probably improved memory usage.
This adds APIs for querying git attributes. In addition to
the new API in include/git2/attr.h, most of the action is in
src/attr_file.[hc] which contains utilities for dealing with
a single attributes file, and src/attr.[hc] which contains
the implementation of the APIs that merge all applicable
attributes files.
Instead of just setting the value to NULL, which gives unwanted
results when asking for that variable after deleting it, delete the
variable from the list and re-write the file.

The ownership semantics have been changed all over the library to be
consistent. There are no more "borrowed" or duplicated references.
Main changes:
- `git_repository_open2` and `3` have been dropped.
- Added setters and getters to hotswap all the repository owned
objects:
`git_repository_index`
`git_repository_set_index`
`git_repository_odb`
`git_repository_set_odb`
`git_repository_config`
`git_repository_set_config`
`git_repository_workdir`
`git_repository_set_workdir`
Now working directories/index files/ODBs and so on can be
hot-swapped after creating a repository and between operations.
- All these objects now have proper ownership semantics with
refcounting: they all require freeing after they are no longer
needed (the repository always keeps its internal reference).
- Repository open and initialization has been updated to keep in
mind the configuration files. Bare repositories are now always
detected, and a default config file is created on init.
- All the tests affected by these changes have been dropped from the
old test suite and ported to the new one.
reference_rename used to delete an old reflog file when renaming a
reference to not confuse git.git. Don't do this anymore but let the user
take care of writing a reflog entry.
