This fix makes libgit2 capable of parsing annotated tag objects that lack
the optional message/description field.
Previously, libgit2 treated this field as mandatory and raised a tag_error on
such tags. However, the message field is optional.
An example of such a tag is refs/tags/v2.6.16.31-rc1 in Linux:
$ git cat-file tag refs/tags/v2.6.16.31-rc1
object afaa018cefb6af63befef1df7d8febaae904434f
type commit
tag v2.6.16.31-rc1

This improves docs in some of the public header files, cleans
up and improves some of the example code, and fixes a couple
of pedantic warnings in places.
This adds a new API that allows users to reload the config if the
file has changed on disk. A new config callback function to
refresh the config was added.
The modified time and file size are used to test if the file needs
to be reloaded (and are now stored in the disk backend object).
In writing tests, just using mtime was a problem / race, so I
wanted to check file size as well. To support that, I extended
`git_futils_readbuffer_updated` to optionally check file size in
addition to mtime, and I added a new function `git_filebuf_stats`
to fetch the mtime and size for an open filebuf (so that the
config could be easily refreshed after a write).
Lastly, I moved some similar file checking code for attributes
into filebuf. It is still only being used for attrs, but it
seems potentially reusable, so I thought I'd move it over.
This improves the naming for the rename related functionality
moving it to be called `git_diff_find_similar()` and renaming
all the associated constants, etc. to make more sense.
I also moved the new code (plus the existing `git_diff_merge`)
into a new file `diff_tform.c` where I can put new functions
related to manipulating git diff lists.
This also updates the implementation significantly from the
last revision fixing some ordering issues (where break-rewrite
needs to be handled prior to copy and rename detection) and
improving config option handling.
This adds a `git_diff_patch_print()` API which is more like the
existing API to "print" a patch from an entire `git_diff_list`
but operates on a single `git_diff_patch` object.
Also, it rewrites the `git_diff_patch_to_str()` API to use that
function (making it very small).
This implements the basis for diff rename and copy detection,
although it is based on simple SHA comparison right now instead
of using a matching algortihm. Just as `git_diff_merge` can be
used as a post-pass on diffs to emulate certain command line
behaviors, there is a new API `git_diff_detect` which will
update a diff list in-place, adjusting some deltas to RENAMED
or COPIED state (and also, eventually, splitting MODIFIED deltas
where the change is too large into DELETED/ADDED pairs).
This also adds a new test repo that will hold rename/copy/split
scenarios. Right now, it just has exact-match rename and copy,
but the tests are written to use tree diffs, so we should be able
to add new test scenarios easily without breaking tests.
libcryto's SHA-1 implementation is measurably better than the one that
ships with the library. If we link to it for HTTPS support already,
use that implementation instead.
Testing on a ~600MB of the linux repository, this reduces indexing
time by 40% and removes the hashing from the top spot in the perf
output.
Added `struct git_config_entry`: a git_config_entry contains the key, the value, and the config file level from which a config element was found.
Added `git_config_open_level`: build a single-level focused config object from a multi-level one.
We are now storing `git_config_entry`s in the khash of the config_file
- make sure temporary streamed blobs are created under the
.git/objects folder and not in the current path, whatever it is.
- do not make the name of the temp file depend on the hintpath.
git_index_read_tree() was exposing a parameter to provide the user with
a progress indicator. Unfortunately, due to the recursive nature of the
tree walk, the maximum number of items to process was unknown. Thus,
the indicator was only counting processed entries, without providing
any information how the number of remaining items.
The new Win32 global path search was not working with the
environment variable tests. But when I fixed the test, the new
codes use of getenv() was causing more failures (presumably because
of caching on Windows ???). This fixes the global file lookup to
always go directly to the Win32 API in a predictable way.
Introduce git_remote_stop() which sets a variable that is checked by
the fetch process in a few key places. If this is variable is set, the
fetch is aborted.
Fixed no-submodule speedup of new checkout code. Fixed missing
final update to progress (which may go away, I realize). Fixed
unused structure in header and incorrect comment.
To answer if a single given file should be ignored, the path to
that file has to be processed progressively checking that there
are no intermediate ignored directories in getting to the file
in question. This enables that, fixing the broken old behavior,
and adds tests to exercise various ignore situations.
Because fnmatch uses recursion, there were some input sequences
that cause seriously degenerate behavior. This imports a fix
that imposes a max recursion limiter to avoid the worst of it.
We used to require loose references to contain only an OID (possibly
after trimming the string). This is however not enough for letting us
lookup FETCH_HEAD, which can have a lot of content after the initial
OID.
Change the parsing rules so that a loose refernce must e at least 40
bytes long and the 41st (if it's there) must be accepted by
isspace(3). This makes the trim unnecessary, so only do it for
symrefs. This fixes#977.
The fix for fetching from empty repositories (22935b06d protocol:
don't store flushes; 2012-10-07) forgot to take into account the
deletion of the flush pkt in the HTTP transport. As a result, the HEAD
ref advertisement where we detect the remote's capabilities was
deleted instead. Fix this.
This started as a complex new test for checkout going through the
"typechanges" test repository, but that revealed numerous issues
with checkout, including:
* complete failure with submodules
* failure to create blobs with exec bits
* problems when replacing a tree with a blob because the tree
"example/" sorts after the blob "example" so the delete was
being processed after the single file blob was created
This fixes most of those problems and includes a number of other
minor changes that made it easier to do that, including improving
the TYPECHANGE support in diff/status, etc.
This is just some cleanup code, rearranging some of the checkout
code where TYPECHANGE support was added and adding some comments
to the diff header regarding the constants.
When I wrote the diff code, I based it on core git's diff output
which tends to split a type change into an add and a delete. But
core git's status has the notion of a T (typechange) flag for a
file. This introduces that into our status APIs and modifies the
diff code so it can be forced to not split type changes.
The adds a test for the submodule diff capabilities and then
fixes a few bugs with how the output is generated. It improves
the accuracy of OIDs in the diff delta object and makes the
submodule output more closely mirror the OIDs that will be used
by core git.
There are a few cases where diff should leave directories in
the diff list if we want to match core git, such as when the
directory contains a .git dir. That feature was lost when I
introduced some of the new submodule handling.
This restores that and then fixes a couple of related to diff
output that are triggered by having diffs with directories in
them.
Also, this adds a new flag that can be passed to diff if you
want diff output to actually include the file content of any
untracked files.
