When trying to determine if we can safely overwrite an existing workdir
item, we may need to calculate the oid for the workdir item to determine
if its identical to the old side (and eligible for removal).
We previously did this regardless of the type of entry in the workdir;
if it was a directory, we would open(2) it and then try to read(2).
The read(2) of a directory fails on many platforms, so we would treat it
as if it were unmodified and continue to perform the checkout.
On FreeBSD, you _can_ read(2) a directory, so this pattern failed. We
would calculate an oid from the data read and determine that the
directory was modified and would therefore generate a checkout conflict.
This reliance on read(2) is silly (and was most likely accidentally
giving us the behavior we wanted), we should be explicit about the
directory test.
According to the reference the git_checkout_tree and git_checkout_head
functions should accept NULL in the opts field
This was broken since the opts field was dereferenced and thus lead to a
crash.
When `git_repository__cvar` fails we may end up with a
`ignorecase` value of `-1`. As we subsequently check if
`ignorecase` is non-zero, we may end up reporting that data
should be removed when in fact it should not.
Err on the safer side and set `ignorecase = 0` when
`git_repository__cvar` fails.
Drop some of the layers of indirection between the workdir and the
filesystem iterators. This makes the code a little bit easier to
follow, and reduces the number of unnecessary allocations a bit as
well. (Prior to this, when we filter entries, we would allocate them,
filter them and then free them; now we do the filtering before
allocation.)
Also, rename `git_iterator_advance_over_with_status` to just
`git_iterator_advance_over`. Mostly because it's a fucking long-ass
function name otherwise.
Many code paths in checkout need the final, full on-disk path of the
file they're writing. (No surprise). However, they all munge the
`data->path` buffer themselves to get there. Provide a nice helper
method for them.
Plus, drop the use `git_iterator_current_workdir_path` which does the
same thing but different. Checkout is the only caller of this silly
function, which lets us remove it.
Disambiguate the reset and reset_range functions. Now reset_range
with a NULL path will clear the start or end; reset will leave the
existing start and end unchanged.
Allow `git_index_read` to handle reading existing indexes with
illegal entries. Allow the low-level `git_index_add` to add
properly formed `git_index_entry`s even if they contain paths
that would be illegal for the current filesystem (eg, `AUX`).
Continue to disallow `git_index_add_bypath` from adding entries
that are illegal universally illegal (eg, `.git`, `foo/../bar`).
When examining the working directory and determining whether it's
up-to-date, only consider the nanoseconds in the index entry when
built with `GIT_USE_NSEC`. This prevents us from believing that
the working directory is always dirty when the index was originally
written with a git client that uinderstands nsecs (like git 2.x).
Untangle git_futils_mkdir from git_futils_mkdir_ext - the latter
assumes that we own everything beneath the base, as if it were
being called with a base of the repository or working directory,
and is tailored towards checkout and ensuring that there is no
bogosity beneath the base that must be cleaned up.
This is (at best) slow and (at worst) unsafe in the larger context
of a filesystem where we do not own things and cannot do things like
unlink symlinks that are in our way.
When a file exists on disk and we're checking out a file that differs
in executableness, remove the old file. This allows us to recreate the
new file with p_open, which will take the new mode into account and
handle setting the umask properly.
Remove any notion of chmod'ing existing files, since it is now handled
by the aforementioned removal and was incorrect, as it did not take
umask into account.
The header src/cc-compat.h defines portable format specifiers PRIuZ, PRIdZ, and PRIxZ. The original report highlighted the need to use these specifiers in examples/network/fetch.c. For this commit, I checked all C source and header files not in deps/ and transitioned to the appropriate format specifier where appropriate.
This lets us specify in the status call which ignore rules we want to
use (optionally falling back to whatever the submodule has in its
configuration).
This removes one of the reasons for having `_set_ignore()` set the value
in-memory. We re-use the `IGNORE_RESET` value for this as it is no
longer relevant but has a similar purpose to `IGNORE_FALLBACK`.
Similarly, we remove `IGNORE_DEFAULT` which does not have use outside of
initializers and move that to fall back to the configuration as well.
As submodules are becomes more like values, we should not let a status
check to update its properties. Instead of taking a submodule, have
status take a repo and submodule name.
Having this cache and giving them out goes against our multithreading
guarantees and it makes it impossible to use submodules in a
multi-threaded environment, as any thread can ask for a refresh which
may reallocate some string in the submodule struct which we've accessed
in a different one via a getter.
This makes the submodules behave more like remotes, where each object is
created upon request and not shared except explicitly by the user. This
means that some tests won't pass yet, as they assume they can affect the
submodule objects in the cache and that will affect later operations.
When updating the index during a diff, preserve the original mode,
which prevents us from dropping the mode to what we have interpreted
as on our system (eg, what the working directory claims it to be,
which may be a lie on some systems.)
When checking out some file 'foo' that has been modified in the
working directory, allow the checkout to proceed (do not conflict)
if 'foo' is identical to the target of the checkout.
We do not error on "merge conflicts"; on the contrary, merge conflicts
are a normal part of merging. We only error on "checkout conflicts",
where a change exists in the index or the working directory that would
otherwise be overwritten by performing the checkout.
This *may* happen during merge (after the production of the new index
that we're going to checkout) but it could happen during any checkout.
When checking out with a case-insensitive working directory, we
want to change the case of items in the working directory to
reflect changes that occured in the checkout target. Diff now
has an option to break case-changing renames into delete/add.
In checkout.c and filter.c we were casting a sub struct
to a parent struct which breaks the strict aliasing rules
in C. However we can use .parent or .base to access the
parent struct to avoid the build warnings.
In remote.c the local variable error was not initialized
or updated in some cases. For unintialized error a build
warning will be generated. So always keep error variable
up-to-date.
This changes the get_entry() method to return a refcounted version of
the config entry, which you have to free when you're done.
This allows us to avoid freeing the memory in which the entry is stored
on a refresh, which may happen at any time for a live config.
For this reason, get_string() has been forbidden on live configs and a
new function get_string_buf() has been added, which stores the string in
a git_buf which the user then owns.
The functions which parse the string value takea advantage of the
borrowing to parse safely and then release the entry.
When the repository does not contain an index, emulate git's behavior
and upgrade to `SAFE_CREATE`. This allows us to check out repositories
created with `git clone --no-checkout`.
