Depending on the operation, we need to consider gitattributes
in both the work dir and the index. This adds a parameter to
all of the gitattributes related functions that allows user
control of attribute reading behavior (i.e. prefer workdir,
prefer index, only use index).
This fix also covers allowing us to check attributes (and
hence do diff and status) on bare repositories.
This was a somewhat larger change that I hoped because it had
to change the cache key used for gitattributes files.
This adds a `git_pool` object that can do simple paged memory
allocation with free for the entire pool at once. Using this,
you can replace many small allocations with large blocks that
can then cheaply be doled out in small pieces. This is best
used when you plan to free the small blocks all at once - for
example, if they represent the parsed state from a file or data
stream that are either all kept or all discarded.
There are two real patterns of usage for `git_pools`: either
for "string" allocation, where the item size is a single byte
and you end up just packing the allocations in together, or for
"fixed size" allocation where you are allocating a large object
(e.g. a `git_oid`) and you generally just allocation single
objects that can be tightly packed. Of course, you can use it
for other things, but those two cases are the easiest.
git_repository_free() calls git_odb_free() if the owned odb is not null.
According to the doc, when setting a new odb through git_repository_set_odb() the caller has to take care of releasing the odb by himself.
Adds a new public reference function `git_reference_lookup_oid`
that directly resolved a reference name to an OID without returning
the intermediate `git_reference` object (hence, no free needed).
Internally, this adds a `git_reference_lookup_resolved` function
that combines looking up and resolving a reference. This allows
us to be more efficient with memory reallocation.
The existing `git_reference_lookup` and `git_reference_resolve`
are reimplmented on top of the new utility and a few places in the
code are changed to use one of the two new functions.
git_repository_free() calls git_index_free() if the owned index is not null.
According to the doc, when setting a new index through git_repository_set_index() the caller has still to take care of releasing the index by itself.
In order to cope with this, this fix makes sure the index refcount is incremented when a new repository is being plugged a new index.
Add a new command `git_repository_open_ext` with extended options
that control how searching for a repository will be done. The
existing `git_repository_open` and `git_repository_discover` are
reimplemented on top of it. We may want to change the default
behavior of `git_repository_open` but this commit does not do that.
Improve support for "gitdir" files where the work dir is separate
from the repo and support for the "separate-git-dir" config. Also,
add support for opening repos created with `git-new-workdir` script
(although I have only confirmed that they can be opened, not that
all functions work correctly).
There are also a few minor changes that came up:
- Fix `git_path_prettify` to allow in-place prettifying.
- Fix `git_path_root` to support backslashes on Win32. This fix
should help many repo open/discover scenarios - it is the one
function called when opening before prettifying the path.
- Tweak `git_config_get_string` to set the "out" pointer to NULL
if the config value is not found. Allows some other cleanup.
- Fix a couple places that should have been calling
`git_repository_config__weakptr` and were not.
- Fix `cl_git_sandbox_init` clar helper to support bare repos.
When processing status for a newly checked out repo, it is
possible that there will be submodules that have not yet been
initialized. The only way to distinguish these from untracked
directories is to have some knowledge of submodules. This
commit adds a new submodule API which, given a name or path,
can determine if it appears to be a submodule and can give
information about the submodule.
This converts blob.c, fileops.c, and all of the win32 files.
Also, various minor cleanups throughout the code. Plus, in
testing the win32 build, I cleaned up a bunch (although not
all) of the warnings with the 64-bit build.
This also includes droping `git_buf_lasterror` because it makes no sense
in the new system. Note that in most of the places were it has been
dropped, the code needs cleanup. I.e. GIT_ENOMEM is going away, so
instead it should return a generic `-1` and obviously not throw
anything.
This makes so much sense that I can't believe it hasn't been done
before. Kill the old `git_fbuffer` and read files straight into
`git_buf` objects.
Also: In order to fully support 4GB files in 32-bit systems, the
`git_buf` implementation has been changed from using `ssize_t` for
storage and storing negative values on allocation failure, to using
`size_t` and changing the buffer pointer to a magical pointer on
allocation failure.
Hopefully this won't break anything.
This update addresses all of the feedback in pull request #570.
The biggest change was to create actual linked list stacks for
storing the tree and workdir iterator state. This cleaned up
the code a ton. Additionally, all of the static functions had
their 'git_' prefix removed, and a lot of other unnecessary
changes were removed from the original patch.
This fixes an issue which was detected while using one of the libgit2 bindings [0]. The lack of the trailing forward slash led the name of references returned by git_reference_listall() to be prefixed with a forward slash.

This takes all of the functions that look up simple data about
paths (such as `git_futils_isdir`) and moves them over to path.h
(becoming `git_path_isdir`). This leaves fileops.h just with
functions that actually manipulate the filesystem or look at
the file contents in some way.
As part of this, the dir.h header which is really just for win32
support was moved into win32 (with some minor changes).
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.
This converts virtually all of the places that allocate GIT_PATH_MAX
buffers on the stack for manipulating paths to use git_buf objects
instead. The patch is pretty careful not to touch the public API
for libgit2, so there are a few places that still use GIT_PATH_MAX.
This extends and changes some details of the git_buf implementation
to add a couple of extra functions and to make error handling easier.
This includes serious alterations to all the path.c functions, and
several of the fileops.c ones, too. Also, there are a number of new
functions that parallel existing ones except that use a git_buf
instead of a stack-based buffer (such as git_config_find_global_r
that exists alongsize git_config_find_global).
This also modifies the win32 version of p_realpath to allocate whatever
buffer size is needed to accommodate the realpath instead of hardcoding
a GIT_PATH_MAX limit, but that change needs to be tested still.
The ownership semantics have been changed all over the library to be
consistent. There are no more "borrowed" or duplicated references.
Main changes:
- `git_repository_open2` and `3` have been dropped.
- Added setters and getters to hotswap all the repository owned
objects:
`git_repository_index`
`git_repository_set_index`
`git_repository_odb`
`git_repository_set_odb`
`git_repository_config`
`git_repository_set_config`
`git_repository_workdir`
`git_repository_set_workdir`
Now working directories/index files/ODBs and so on can be
hot-swapped after creating a repository and between operations.
- All these objects now have proper ownership semantics with
refcounting: they all require freeing after they are no longer
needed (the repository always keeps its internal reference).
- Repository open and initialization has been updated to keep in
mind the configuration files. Bare repositories are now always
detected, and a default config file is created on init.
- All the tests affected by these changes have been dropped from the
old test suite and ported to the new one.
This new version of the references code is significantly faster and
hopefully easier to read.
External API stays the same. A new method `git_reference_reload()` has
been added to force updating a memory reference from disk. In-memory
references are no longer updated automagically -- this was killing us.
If a reference is deleted externally and the user doesn't reload the
memory object, nothing critical happens: any functions using that
reference should fail gracefully (e.g. deletion, renaming, and so on).
All generated references from the API are read only and must be free'd
by the user. There is no reference counting and no traces of generated
references are kept in the library.
There is no longer an internal representation for references. There is
only one reference struct `git_reference`, and symbolic/oid targets are
stored inside an union.
Packfile references are stored using an optimized struct with flex array
for reference names. This should significantly reduce the memory cost of
loading the packfile from disk.
To further match how Git behaves, this change makes most of the
directories libgit2 creates in a git repo have a file mode of
0777. Specifically:
- Intermediate directories created with git_futils_mkpath2file() have
0777 permissions. This affects odb_loose, reflog, and refs.
- The top level folder for bare repos is created with 0777
permissions.
- The top level folder for non-bare repos is created with 0755
permissions.
- /objects/info/, /objects/pack/, /refs/heads/, and /refs/tags/ are
created with 0777 permissions.
Additionally, the following changes have been made:
- fileops functions that create intermediate directories have grown a
new dirmode parameter. The only exception to this is filebuf's
lock_file(), which unconditionally creates intermediate directories
with 0777 permissions when GIT_FILEBUF_FORCE is set.
- The test runner now sets the umask to 0 before running any
tests. This ensurses all file mode checks are consistent across
systems.
- t09-tree.c now does a directory permissions check. I've avoided
adding this check to other tests that might reuse existing
directories from the prefabricated test repos. Because they're
checked into the repo, they have 0755 permissions.
- Other assorted directories created by tests have 0777 permissions.
git_repository_config wants to take the global and system paths again
so that one can be explicit if needed.
The git_repository_config_autoload function is provided for the cases
when it's good enough for the library to guess where those files are
located.

GIT_EOVERFLOW means something different. Use GIT_ESHORTBUFFER. On the
way, remove a redundant sizeof(char).

1. The license header is technically not valid if it doesn't have a
copyright signature.
2. The COPYING file has been updated with the different licenses used in
the project.
3. The full GPLv2 header in each file annoys me.
