See lines 59-60 from 44b1ff4c12/src/filter.c which contain a couple of lines of code to ignore an EOF at the end of a file when detecting if it is a text file or not. These came from this contribution that Dmitry made to core Git back in 2008 (f9dd4bf4e5) which was committed by Junio.
Dmitry gave his permission for these changes to be included in LibGit2 as well via email to vmg and myself
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.
