Returning NULL for the string when we haven't signaled an error
condition is counter-intuitive and causes unnecessary edge
cases. Return an empty string when asking for a string value for a
configuration variable such as '[section] var' to avoid these edge
cases.
If the distinction between no value and an empty value is needed, this
can be retrieved from the entry directly. As a side-effect, this
change stops the int parsing functions from segfaulting on such a
variable.
The `git_reset` API with the HARD option is still slightly
broken, but this test now does exercise the ability of the
command to revert modified files.
This is a major reworking of checkout strategy options. The
checkout code is now sensitive to the contents of the HEAD tree
and the new options allow you to update the working tree so that
it will match the index content only when it previously matched
the contents of the HEAD. This allows you to, for example, to
distinguish between removing files that are in the HEAD but not
in the index, vs just removing all untracked files.
Because of various corner cases that arise, etc., this required
some additional capabilities in rmdir and other utility functions.
This includes the beginnings of an implementation of code to read
a partial tree into the index based on a pathspec, but that is
not enabled because of the possibility of creating conflicting
index entries.
So, @nulltoken created a failing test case for checkout that
proved to be particularly daunting. If checkout is given only
a very limited strategy mask (e.g. just GIT_CHECKOUT_CREATE_MISSING)
then it is possible for typechange/rename modifications to leave it
unable to complete the request. That's okay, but the existing code
did not have enough information not to generate an error (at least
for tree/blob conflicts).
This led me to a significant reorganization of the code to handle
the failing case, but it has three benefits:
1. The test case is handled correctly (I think)
2. The new code should actually be much faster than the old code
since I decided to make checkout aware of diff list internals.
3. The progress value accuracy is hugely increased since I added
a fourth pass which calculates exactly what work needs to be
done before doing anything.
* Rework GIT_DIRREMOVAL values to GIT_RMDIR flags, allowing
combinations of flags
* Add GIT_RMDIR_EMPTY_PARENTS flag to remove parent dirs that
are left empty after removal
* Add GIT_MKDIR_VERIFY_DIR to give an error if item is a file,
not a dir (previously an EEXISTS error was ignored, even for
files) and enable this flag for git_futils_mkpath2file call
* Improve accuracy of error messages from git_futils_mkdir
Apparently git_remote_list() includes even remotes for which git_remote_load() would fail. Sorry @nulltoken, false alarm.
This reverts commit f358ec143c.
This fix makes libgit2 capable of parsing annotated tag objects that lack
the optional message/description field.
Previously, libgit2 treated this field as mandatory and raised a tag_error on
such tags. However, the message field is optional.
An example of such a tag is refs/tags/v2.6.16.31-rc1 in Linux:
$ git cat-file tag refs/tags/v2.6.16.31-rc1
object afaa018cefb6af63befef1df7d8febaae904434f
type commit
tag v2.6.16.31-rc1

This improves docs in some of the public header files, cleans
up and improves some of the example code, and fixes a couple
of pedantic warnings in places.
