This is something we do on re-init but not when opening a
repository. This hasn't particularly mattered up to now as the version
has been 0 ever since the first release of git, but the times, they're
a-changing and we will soon see version 1 in the wild. We need to make
sure we don't open those.
We do not always want to put the id directly into the reflog, but we
want to speicfy what a user typed. For this use-case we provide
annotated version of a few functions which let the caller specify what
user-friendly name was used when asking for the operation.
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.
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.
A repository can have multiple "reserved names" now, not just
a single "short name" for the repository folder itself. Refactor
to include a git_repository__reserved_names that returns all the
reserved names for a repository.
This is supported by the underlying set_index() implementation
and setting the repository index to NULL is recommended by the
git_repository_set_bare() documentation.
Disallow:
1. paths with trailing dot
2. paths with trailing space
3. paths with trailing colon
4. paths that are 8.3 short names of .git folders ("GIT~1")
5. paths that are reserved path names (COM1, LPT1, etc).
6. paths with reserved DOS characters (colons, asterisks, etc)
These paths would (without \\?\ syntax) be elided to other paths - for
example, ".git." would be written as ".git". As a result, writing these
paths literally (using \\?\ syntax) makes them hard to operate with from
the shell, Windows Explorer or other tools. Disallow these.
When using a bare repo with an index, libgit2 attempts to read
files from the index. It caches those files based on the path
to the file, specifically the path to the directory that contains
the file.
If there is no working directory, we use `git_path_dirname_r` to
get the path to the containing directory. However, for the
`.gitattributes` file in the root of the repository, this ends up
normalizing the containing path to `"."` instead of the empty
string and the lookup the `.gitattributes` data fails.
This adds a test of attribute lookups on bare repos and also
fixes the problem by simply rewriting `"."` to be `""`.
Teach git_repository_init_ext to use relative paths for the gitlink
to the work directory. This is used when creating a sub repository
where the sub repository resides in the parent repository's
.git directory.
When using Iconv to convert unicode data and iconv doesn't like
the source data (because it thinks that it's not actual UTF-8),
instead of stopping the operation, just use the unconverted data.
This will generally do the right thing on the filesystem, since
that is the source of the non-UTF-8 path data anyhow.
This adds some tests for creating and looking up branches with
messy Unicode names. Also, this takes the helper function that
was previously internal to `git_repository_init` and makes it
into `git_path_does_fs_decompose_unicode` which is a useful in
tests to understand what the expected results should be.
Diff and status do not want core.safecrlf to actually raise an
error regardless of the setting, so this extends the filter API
with an additional options flags parameter and adds a flag so that
filters can be applied with GIT_FILTER_OPT_ALLOW_UNSAFE, indicating
that unsafe filter application should be downgraded from a failure
to a warning.
This takes the old submodule cache which was just a git_strmap
and makes a real git_submodule_cache object that can contain other
things like a lock and timestamp-ish data to control refreshing of
submodule info.
