xdiff craps the bed on large files. Treat very large files as binary,
so that it doesn't even have to try.
Refactor our merge binary handling to better match git.git, which
looks for a NUL in the first 8000 bytes.
As refdb and odb backends can be allocated by client code, libgit2
can’t know whether an alternative memory allocator was used, and thus
should not try to call `git__free` on those objects.
Instead, odb and refdb backend implementations must always provide
their own `free` functions to ensure memory gets freed correctly.
When we do not trust the on-disk mode, we use the mode of an existing
index entry. This allows us to preserve executable bits on platforms
that do not honor them on the filesystem.
If there is no stage 0 index entry, also look at conflicts to attempt
to answer this question: prefer the data from the 'ours' side, then
the 'theirs' side before falling back to the common ancestor.
SSL_shutdown() does not like it when we pass an unitialized ssl context
to it. This means that when we fail to connect to a host, we hide the
error message saying so with OpenSSL's indecipherable error message.
git expects an empty line after the binary data:
literal X
...binary data...
<empty_line>
The last literal block of the generated patches were not containing the required empty line. Example:
diff --git a/binary_file b/binary_file

git apply of that diff results in:
error: corrupt binary patch at line 9: diff --git a/binary_file2 b/binary_file2
fatal: patch with only garbage at line 10
The proper formating is:

If the header doesn't look like a header (e.g. if it doesn't have a ":"
or if it has newlines), report "custom HTTP header '%s' is malformed".
If the header has the same name as a header already set by libgit2 (e.g.
"Host"), report "HTTP header '%s' is already set by libgit2".
This allows us to remove OS checks from source code, instead relying
on CMake to detect whether or not `struct stat` has the nanoseconds
members we rely on.
Check that the repository directory is beneath the workdir before
adding it to the list of reserved paths. If it is not, then there
is no possibility of checking out files into it, and it should not
be a reserved word.
This is a particular problem with submodules where the repo directory
may be in the super's .git directory.
Test an initial submodule update, where we are trying to checkout
the submodule for the first time, and placing a file within the
submodule working directory with the same name as the submodule
(and consequently, the same name as the repository itself).
When there is a comment at the end of a section, git keeps it there,
while we write the new variable right at the end.
Keep comments buffered and dump them when we're going to output a
variable or section, or reach EOF. This puts us in line with the config
files which git produces.
