Copy the pointers into temporary vectors instead of assigning them tot
he same array so we don't mess up with someone else's memory by
accident (e.g. by sorting).
The callback-based method of listing remote references dates back to the
beginning of the network code's lifetime, when we didn't know any
better.
We need to keep the list around for update_tips() after disconnect() so
let's make use of this to simply give the user a pointer to the array so
they can write straightforward code instead of having to go through a
callback.
Removing arbitrary refspecs makes things more complex to reason
about. Instead, let the user set the fetch and push refspec list to
whatever they want it to be.
When downloading the default branch due to lack of refspecs, we still
need to write out FETCH_HEAD with the tip we downloaded, unfortunately
with a format that doesn't match what we already have.
This avoids sending our whole history bit by bit to the remote in cases
where there is no common history, just to give up in the end.
The number comes from the canonical implementation.
The correct behaviour when a remote has no refspecs (e.g. a URL from the
command-line) is to download the remote's HEAD. Let's do that.
This fixes#1261.
Seems that regexp in Mac OS X and Linux were behaving
differently: while in OS X the empty string didn't
match any value, in Linux it was matching all of them,
so the the second fetch refspec was overwritting the
first one, instead of creating a new one.
Using an unmatcheable regular expression solves the
problem (and seems to be portable).
At some moment git_config_delete_entry lost the ability to delete one entry of
a multivar configuration. The moment you had more than one fetch or push
ref spec for a remote you will not be able to save that remote anymore. The
changes in network::remote::remotes::save show that problem.
I needed to create a new git_config_delete_multivar because I was not able to
remove one or several entries of a multivar config with the current API.
Several tries modifying how git_config_set_multivar(..., NULL) behaved were
not successful.
git_config_delete_multivar is very similar to git_config_set_multivar, and
delegates into config_delete_multivar of config_file. This function search
for the cvar_t that will be deleted, storing them in a temporal array, and
rebuilding the linked list. After calling config_write to delete the entries,
the cvar_t stored in the temporal array are freed.
There is a little fix in config_write, it avoids an infinite loop when using
a regular expression (case for the multivars). This error was found by the
test network::remote::remotes::tagopt.
This tells the server that we speak it, but we don't make use of its
extra information to determine if there's a better place to stop
negotiating.
In a somewhat-related change, reorder the capabilities so we ask for
them in the same order as git does.
Also take this opportunity to factor out a fairly-indented portion of
the negotiation logic.
It was there to keep it apart from the one which read in from a file on
disk. This other indexer does not exist anymore, so there is no need for
anything other than git_indexer to refer to it.
While here, rename _add() function to _append() and _finalize() to
_commit(). The former change is cosmetic, while the latter avoids
talking about "finalizing", which OO languages use to mean something
completely different.
