Files in status will, be default, be sorted according to the case
insensitivity of the filesystem that we're running on. However,
in some cases, this is not desirable. Even on case insensitive
file systems, 'git status' at the command line will generally use
a case sensitive sort (like 'ls'). Some GUIs prefer to display a
list of file case insensitively even on case-sensitive platforms.
This adds two new flags: GIT_STATUS_OPT_SORT_CASE_SENSITIVELY
and GIT_STATUS_OPT_SORT_CASE_INSENSITIVELY that will override the
default sort order of the status output and give the user control.
This includes tests for exercising these new options and makes
the examples/status.c program emulate core Git and always use a
case sensitive sort.
When diff encounters an untracked directory, there was a shortcut
that it took which is not compatible with core git. This makes
the default behavior no longer take that shortcut and instead look
inside the untracked directory to see if there are any untracked
files within it. If there are not, then the directory is treated
as an ignore directory instead of an untracked directory. This
has implications for the git_status APIs.
This started out trying to look at the problems from issue #1425
and gradually grew to a broader set of fixes. There are two core
things fixed here:
1. When you had an ignore like "/bin" which is rooted at the top
of your tree, instead of immediately adding the "bin/" entry
as an ignored item in the diff, we were returning all of the
direct descendants of the directory as ignored items. This
changes things to immediately ignore the directory. Note that
this effects the behavior in test_status_ignore__subdirectories
so that we no longer exactly match core gits ignore behavior,
but the new behavior probably makes more sense (i.e. we now
will include an ignored directory inside an untracked directory
that we previously would have left off).
2. When a submodule only contained working directory changes, the
diff code was always considering it unmodified which was just
an outright bug. The HEAD SHA of the submodule matches the SHA
in the parent repo index, and since the SHAs matches, the diff
code was overwriting the actual status with UNMODIFIED.
These fixes broke existing tests test_diff_workdir__submodules and
test_status_ignore__subdirectories but looking it over, I actually
think the new results are correct and the old results were wrong.
@nulltoken had actually commented on the subdirectory ignore issue
previously.
I also included in the tests some debugging versions of the
shared iteration callback routines that print status or diff
information. These aren't used actively in the tests, but can be
quickly swapped in to test code to give a better picture of what
is being scanned in some of the complex test scenarios.
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.
