- Add new GIT_DIFF_FIND_EXACT_MATCH_ONLY flag to do similarity
matching without using the similarity metric (i.e. only compare
the SHA).
- Clean up the similarity measurement code to more rigorously
distinguish between files that are not similar and files that
are not comparable (previously, a 0 could either mean that the
files could not be compared or that they were totally different)
- When splitting a MODIFIED file into a DELETE/ADD pair, actually
make a DELETED/UNTRACKED pair if the right side of the diff is
from the working directory. This prevents an odd mix of ADDED
and UNTRACKED files on workdir diffs.
There are a number of bugs in the rename code that only were
obvious when I started testing it against large old repos with
more complex patterns. (The code to do that testing is not ready
to merge with libgit2, but I do plan to add more thorough tests.)
This contains a significant number of changes and also tweaks the
public API slightly to make emulating core git easier.
Most notably, this separates the GIT_DIFF_FIND_AND_BREAK_REWRITES
flag into FIND_REWRITES (which adds a self-similarity score to
every modified file) and BREAK_REWRITES (which splits the modified
deltas into add/remove pairs in the diff list). When you do a raw
output of core git, rewrites show up as M090 or such, not at A and
D output, so I wanted to be able to emulate that.
Publicly, this also changes the flags to be uint16_t since we
don't need values out of that range.
Internally, this contains significant changes from a number of
small bug fixes (like using the wrong side of the diff to decide
if the object could be found in the ODB vs the workdir) to larger
issues about which files can and should be compared and how the
various edge cases of similarity scores should be treated.
Honestly, I don't think this is the last update that will have to
be made to this code, but I think this moves us closer to correct
behavior and I tried to document the code so it would be easier
to follow..
I frequently want to the the first N digits of an OID formatted
as a string and I'd like it to be efficient. This function makes
that easy and I could rewrite the OID formatters in terms of it.
This adds an example implementation that emulates git cat-file.
It is a convenient and relatively simple example of getting data
out of a repository.
Implementing this also revealed that there are a number of APIs
that are still not using const pointers to objects that really
ought to be. The main cause of this is that `git_vector_bsearch`
may need to call `git_vector_sort` before doing the search, so a
const pointer to the vector is not allowed. However, for tree
objects, with a little care, we can ensure that the vector of
tree entries is always sorted and allow lookups to take a const
pointer. Also, the missing const in commit objects just looks
like an oversight.
Move the git_index_entry to the very top, since it provides the
main structure that needs to be understood by the reader, then
move the bitmasks for the flags and the flags_extended under that
since they are details for looking at particular fields of the
structure.
This removes the functions to duplicate and free copies of a
git_index_entry and updates the comments to explain that you
should just use the public definition of the struct as needed.
This adds git_index_entry_dup to make a copy of an existing entry
and git_index_entry_free to release the memory of the copy. It
also updates the documentation for git_index_get_bypath and
git_index_get_byindex to make it clear that the returned structure
should *not* be modified.
The constants for extracting data from git_index_entry flags and
flags_extended are not named in a way that makes it easy to know
where to use each one. This improves the docs for the flags (and
slightly reorganizes them), so it should be more obvious.
It is possible for there to be a submodule in a repository with
no .gitmodules file (for example, if the user forgot to commit
the .gitmodules file). In this case, core Git will just create
an empty directory as a placeholder for the submodule but
otherwise ignore it. We were generating an error and stopping
the checkout. This makes our behavior match that of core git.
Nobody should ever be using anything other than ALL at this level, so
remove the option altogether.
As part of this, git_reference_foreach_glob is now implemented in the
frontend using an iterator. Backends will later regain the ability of
doing the glob filtering in the backend.
This clarifies the docs for git_repository_message and also adds
to the tests to explicitly check NUL termination of data when the
output buffer is smaller than the message size. There is a minor
behavior change so that a non-NULL output buffer will always be
NUL terminated (at length zero) if an error occurs.
This adds a new line origin constant for the special line that
is used when both files end without a newline.
In the course of writing the tests for this, I was having problems
with modifying a file but not having diff notice because it was
the same size and modified less than one second from the start of
the test, so I decided to start working on nanosecond timestamp
support. This commit doesn't contain the nanosecond support, but
it contains the reorganization of maybe_modified and the hooks so
that if the nanosecond data were being read by stat() (or rather
being copied by git_index_entry__init_from_stat), then the nsec
would be taken into account.
This new stuff could probably use some more tests, although there
is some amount of it here.
When diff encounters an untracked directory, there was a shortcut
that it took which is not compatible with core git. This makes
the default behavior no longer take that shortcut and instead look
inside the untracked directory to see if there are any untracked
files within it. If there are not, then the directory is treated
as an ignore directory instead of an untracked directory. This
has implications for the git_status APIs.
This removes the GIT_INLINE versions of the simple git_object
accessors and standardizes them with a helper macro in src/object.h
to build the function bodies.
Add a new git_oid_strcmp that compares a string OID with a hex
oid for sort order, and then reimplement git_oid_streq using it.
This actually should speed up git_oid_streq because it only reads
as far into the string as it needs to, whereas previously it would
convert the whole string into an OID and then use git_oid_cmp.
