Going back over this, the git__removechar function was not
needed (only invoked once) and is actually mislabeled. As
implemented, it really only made sense for removing backslash
characters, since two of the "removed" characters in a row
would include the second one -- i.e. it really implements
stripping backslash-escaped strings where a backslash allows
internal whitespace in a word.
Per issue #533, the handling of relative paths in attribute
and ignore files was not right. Fixed this by pre-joining
the relative path of the attribute/ignore file onto the match
string when a full path match is required.
Unfortunately, fixing this required a bit more code than I
would have liked because I had to juggle things around so that
the fnmatch parser would have sufficient information to prepend
the relative path when it was needed.
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).
This updates to implementation of gitattribute macros to be much more
similar to core git (albeit not 100%) and to handle expansion of
macros within macros, etc. It also cleans up the refcounting usage
with macros to be much cleaner.
Also, this adds a new vector function `git_vector_insert_sorted()`
which allows you to maintain a sorted list as you go. In order to
write that function, this changes the function `git__bsearch()` to
take a somewhat different set of parameters, although the core
functionality is still the same.
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.
