Two things:
1) By default, Linux CMake puts -fPIC on the link line. So we remove that
for MINGW to avoid warnings that it will be ignored.
2) Similarly, move -fvisibility=hidden flag to be for non-mingw
compilation only to avoid warnings that it will be ignored.
The error codes from failed lookups of system and global files
on Windows were not consistent with the codes returned on other
platforms. This makes the error detection patterns match and
adds a unit test for the various errors.
This fixes two bugs:
* Issue #728 where git_status_file was not working for files
that contain spaces. This was caused by reusing the "fnmatch"
parsing code from ignore and attribute files to interpret the
"pathspec" that constrained the files to apply the status to.
In that code, unescaped whitespace was considered terminal to
the pattern, so a file with internal whitespace was excluded
from the matched files. The fix was to add a mode to that code
that allows spaces and tabs inside patterns. This mode only
comes into play when parsing in-memory strings.
* The other issue was undetected, but it was in the recently
added code to reload gitattributes / gitignores when they were
changed on disk. That code was not clearing out the old values
from the cached file content before reparsing which meant that
newly added patterns would be read in, but deleted patterns
would not be removed. The fix was to clear the vector of
patterns in a cached file before reparsing the file.
The function to convert UTF-16 to UTF-8 was only allocating a
buffer of wcslen(utf16str) bytes for the UTF-8 string, but that
is not sufficient if you have multibyte characters, and so when
those occured, the conversion was failing. This updates the
conversion functions to use the Win APIs to calculate the correct
buffer lengths.
Also fixes a comparison in the unit tests that would fail if
you did not have a particular environment variable set.
We used to consider a missing core.bare option to mean that the
repository was corrupt. This is too strict. Consider it a non-bare
repository if it's not set.
On Windows, we are having problems with home directories
that have non-ascii characters in them. This rewrites the
relevant code to fetch environment variables as UTF-16 and
then explicitly map then into UTF-8 for our internal usage.
If it's not available, an error saying so will be returned when trying
to use a https:// URL.
This also unifies a lot of the network code to use git_transport in
many places instead of an socket descriptor.
Welcome to yet another libgit2 release, this one being the
biggest we've shipped so far. Highlights on this release
include diff, branches, notes and submodules support. The new
diff API is shiny and powerful. Check it out.
Apologies, one more time, to all the early adopters for the
breaking API changes. We've been iterating on the error
handling for the library until we reached its current state,
which we believe it's significantly more usable both for normal
users and for developers of bindings to other languages.
Also, we've renamed a few legacy calls to ensure that the whole
external API uses a consistent naming scheme.
As always, check the API docs for the full list of new API calls
and backwards-incompatible changes.

Changelog of new features follows:
Attributes:
- Added function macros to check attribute values instead of having
to manually compare them
- Added support for choosing the attribute loading order (workdir files
vs index) and to skip the systems' default `.gitattributes`
- Fixed issues when fetching attribute data on bare repositories
Blob:
- Added support for creating blobs from any file on disk (not
restricted to the repository's working directory)
- Aded support for smudge filters when writing blobs to the ODB
- So far only CRLF normalization is available
Branches:
- Added a high-level branch API:
- git_branch_create
- git_branch_delete
- git_branch_list
- git_branch_move
Commit:
- Commit messages are now filtered to match Git rules (stripping
comments and adding proper whitespacing rules)
Config:
- Added support for setting and getting multivars
- Added `git_config_get_mapped` to map the value of a config
variable based on its defaults
Diff:
- Added full diff API:
- tree to tree
- index to tree
- workdir to index
- workdir to tree
- blob to blob
- Added helper functions to print the diffs as valid patchfiles
Error handling:
- New design for the error handling API, taking into consideration
the requirements of dynamic languages
Indexer:
- Added streaming packfile indexer
Merge:
- Added support for finding the merge base between two commits
Notes:
- Full git-notes support:
- git_note_read
- git_note_message/git_note_oid
- git_note_create
- git_note_remove
- git_note_free
- git_note_foreach
References:
- Added `git_reference_name_to_oid` helper to resolve
a reference to its final OID
- Added `git_reference_cmp` to compare two references with
a stable order
Remotes:
- Added support for writing and saving remotes
- `git_remote_add`
- `git_remote_save`
- Setters for all the attributes of a remote
- Switched remote download to the new streaming packfile indexer
- Fixed fetch on HTTP and Git under Windows
- Added `git_remote_supported_url` helper to check if a protocol
can be accessed by the library
- Added `git_remote_list`
Repository:
- Made `git_repository_open` smarter when finding the `.git` folder.
- Added `git_repository_open_ext` with extra options when
opening a repository
Revwalk:
- Added support for pushing/hiding several references through a glob
- Added helper to push/hide the current HEAD to the walker
- Added helper to push/hide a single reference to the walker
Status:
- Greatly improved Status implementation using the new `diff` code
as a backend
Submodules:
- Added a partial submodules API to get information about a
submodule and list all the submodules in a repository
- git_submodule_foreach
- git_submodule_lookup
Tag:
- Added `git_tag_peel` helper to peel a tag to its pointed object
- Tag messages are now filtered to match Git rules (stripping comments
and adding proper whitespacing rules)
Tree:
- Killed the old `git_tree_diff` API, which is replaced by the
new diff code.

Local fetch isn't implemented yet. Don't segfault on call, but set a
dummy for negotiate_fetch and terminate gracefully.
