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.
We want to use the "checkout: moving from ..." message in order to let
git know when a change of branch has happened. Make the convenience
functions for this goal write this message.
This namespace is about behaving like git's branch command, so let's do
exactly that instead of taking a reflog message.
This override is still available via the reference namespace.
The signature for the reflog is not something which changes
dynamically. Almost all uses will be NULL, since we want for the
repository's default identity to be used, making it noise.
In order to allow for changing the identity, we instead provide
git_repository_set_ident() and git_repository_ident() which allow a user
to override the choice of signature.
Win32 DLLs have four fields for the version number (major, minor,
teeny, patch). If a consumer wants to build a custom DLL, it may
be useful to set the patchlevel version number in the DLL.
This value only affects the DLL version number, it does not affect
the resultant "version number", which remains major.minor.teeny.
Add structures and preliminary functions to take a buffer, file or
blob and write the contents in chunks through an arbitrary number
of chained filters, finally writing into a user-provided function
accept the contents.
On case insensitive filesystems, we may have files in the working
directory that case fold to a name we want to write. Remove those
files (by default) so that we will not end up with a filename that
has the unexpected case.
The implementation of the hashsig API disallows computing a signature on
small files containing only a few lines. This new flag disables this
behavior.
git_diff_find_similar() sets this flag by default which means that rename
/ copy detection of small files will now work. This in turn affects the
behavior of the git_status and git_blame APIs which will now detect rename
of small files assuming the right options are passed.
`git_merge_commits` (and thus `git_merge`) do not use the same
strategy as `git-merge-recursive` wherein they can produce an
artificial common ancestor that is the merge of all common
ancestors. Document this accordingly.
For the REUC and NAME entries, we use size_t internally, and we take
size_t for the get_byindex() functions, but the entrycount() functions
strangely cast to an unsigned int instead.
This introduces the functionality of submodule update in
'git_submodule_do_update'. The existing 'git_submodule_update' function is
renamed to 'git_submodule_update_strategy'. The 'git_submodule_update'
function now refers to functionality similar to `git submodule update`,
while `git_submodule_update_strategy` is used to get the configured value
of submodule.<name>.update.
Path validation may be influenced by `core.protectHFS` and
`core.protectNTFS` configuration settings, thus treebuilders
can take a repository to influence their configuration.
This option does not get persisted to disk, which makes it different
from the rest of the setters. Remove it until we go all the way.
We still respect the configuration option, and it's still possible to
perform a one-time prune by calling the function.
