File modes were both not being ignored properly on platforms
where they should be ignored, nor be diffed consistently on
platforms where they are supported.
This change adds a number of diff and status filemode change
tests. This also makes sure that filemode-only changes are
included in the diff output when they occur and that filemode
changes are ignored successfully when core.filemode is false.
There is no code that automatically toggles core.filemode
based on the capabilities of the current platform, so the user
still needs to be careful in their .git/config file.
git_status_file would always return GIT_ENOTFOUND for these files.
The underlying bug was that git__strcmp_cb, which is used by
git_path_with_stat_cmp to sort entries in the working directory,
compares strings based on unsigned chars (this is confirmed by the
strcmp(3) manpage), while git__prefixcmp, which is used by
workdir_iterator__entry_cmp to search for a path in the working
directory, compares strings based on char. So the sort puts this path at
the end of the list, while the search expects it to be at the beginning.
The fix was simply to make git__prefixcmp compare using unsigned chars,
just like strcmp(3). The rest of the change is just adding/updating
tests.
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.
Creating a workdir iterator on a directory with absolutely
no files was returning an error (GIT_ENOTFOUND) instead of
an iterator for nothing. This fixes that and includes two
new tests that cover that case.
There was a bug where tracked files inside directories that were
inside ignored directories where not being found by status. To
make that a little clearer, if you have a .gitignore with:
ignore/
And then have the following files:
ignore/dir/tracked <-- actually a tracked file
ignore/dir/untracked <-- should be ignored
Then we would show the tracked file as being removed (because
when we got the to contained item "dir/" inside the ignored
directory, we decided it was safe to skip -- bzzt, wrong!).
This update is much more careful about checking that we are
not skipping over any prefix of a tracked item, regardless of
whether it is ignored or not.
As documented in diff.c, this commit does create behavior that
still differs from core git with regards to the handling of
untracked files contained inside ignored directories. With
libgit2, those files will just not show up in status or diff.
With core git, those files don't show up in status or diff
either *unless* they are explicitly ignored by a .gitignore
pattern in which case they show up as ignored files.
Needless to say, this is a local behavior difference only, so
it should not be important and (to me) the libgit2 behavior
seems more consistent.
The goal of this work is to rewrite git_status_file to use the
same underlying code as git_status_foreach.
This is done in 3 phases:
1. Extend iterators to allow ranged iteration with start and
end prefixes for the range of file names to be covered.
2. Improve diff so that when there is a pathspec and there is
a common non-wildcard prefix of the pathspec, it will use
ranged iterators to minimize excess iteration.
3. Rewrite git_status_file to call git_status_foreach_ext
with a pathspec that covers just the one file being checked.
Since ranged iterators underlie the status & diff implementation,
this is actually fairly efficient. The workdir iterator does
end up loading the contents of all the directories down to the
single file, which should ideally be avoided, but it is pretty
good.
This makes the git attributes and git ignores cache check
stat information before using the file contents from the
cache. For cached files from the index, it checks the SHA
of the file instead. This should reduce the need to ever
call `git_attr_cache_flush()` in most situations.
This commit also fixes the `git_status_should_ignore` API
to use the libgit2 standard parameter ordering.
When a repo is first created, there is no HEAD yet and attempting
to diff files in the index was showing nothing because a tree
iterator could not be constructed. This adds an "empty" iterator
and falls back on that when the head cannot be looked up.
Depending on the operation, we need to consider gitattributes
in both the work dir and the index. This adds a parameter to
all of the gitattributes related functions that allows user
control of attribute reading behavior (i.e. prefer workdir,
prefer index, only use index).
This fix also covers allowing us to check attributes (and
hence do diff and status) on bare repositories.
This was a somewhat larger change that I hoped because it had
to change the cache key used for gitattributes files.
We were not following the git behavior for leading slashes
in path names when matching git ignores and git attribute
file patterns. This should fix issue #638.
When processing status for a newly checked out repo, it is
possible that there will be submodules that have not yet been
initialized. The only way to distinguish these from untracked
directories is to have some knowledge of submodules. This
commit adds a new submodule API which, given a name or path,
can determine if it appears to be a submodule and can give
information about the submodule.
This gives `git_status_foreach()` back its old behavior of
emulating the "--untracked=all" behavior of git. You can
get any of the various --untracked options by passing flags
to `git_status_foreach_ext()` but the basic version will
keep the behavior it has always had.
This fixes the bug that @nulltoken found (thank you!) where
if there were untracked directories alphabetically after the
last tracked item, the diff implementation would deref a NULL
pointer.
The fix involved the code which decides if it is necessary
to recurse into a directory in the working dir, so it was
easy to add a new option `GIT_STATUS_OPT_RECURSE_UNTRACKED_DIRS`
to control if the contents of untracked directories should be
included in status.
This "fixes" the broken t18 status tests to accurately reflect
the new behavior for "created" untracked subdirectories. See
discussion in the PR for more details.
This also contains the submodules unit test that I forgot to
git add, and ports most of the t18-status.c tests to clar (still
missing a couple of the git_status_file() single file tests).
This is a work in progress. This adds two new sets of tests,
the issue_592 tests from @nulltoken's pull request #601 and
some new tests for submodules. The submodule tests still have
issues where the status is not reported correctly. That needs
to be fixed before merge.
This reverts the changes to the GIT_STATUS constants and adds a
new enumeration to describe the type of change in a git_diff_delta.
I don't love this solution, but it should prevent strange errors
from occurring for now. Eventually, I would like to unify the
various status constants, but it needs a larger plan and I just
wanted to eliminate this breakage quickly.
It turns out that commit 31e9cfc4cbcaf1b38cdd3dbe3282a8f57e5366a5
did not fix the GIT_USUSED behavior on all platforms. This commit
walks through and really cleans things up more thoroughly, getting
rid of the unnecessary stuff.
To remove the use of some GIT_UNUSED, I ended up adding a couple
of new iterators for hashtables that allow you to iterator just
over keys or just over values.
In making this change, I found a bug in the clar tests (where we
were doing *count++ but meant to do (*count)++ to increment the
value). I fixed that but then found the test failing because it
was not really using an empty repo. So, I took some of the code
that I wrote for iterator testing and moved it to clar_helpers.c,
then made use of that to make it easier to open fixtures on a
per test basis even within a single test file.
This is a major reorganization of the diff code. This changes
the diff functions to use the iterators for traversing the
content. This allowed a lot of code to be simplified. Also,
this moved the functions relating to outputting a diff into a
new file (diff_output.c).
This includes a number of other changes - adding utility
functions, extending iterators, etc. plus more tests for the
diff code. This also takes the example diff.c program much
further in terms of emulating git-diff command line options.
Add unit tests to confirm ignore directory pattern matches and
to confirm that ignore and attribute files are loaded properly
into the attribute file cache.
