This makes it easy to take a buffer containing a path with relative
references (i.e. .. or . path segments) and resolve all of those
into a clean path. This can be applied to URLs as well as file
paths which can be useful.
As part of this, I made the drive-letter detection apply on all
platforms, not just windows. If you give a path that looks like
"c:/..." on any platform, it seems like we might as well detect
that as a rooted path. I suppose if you create a directory named
"x:" on another platform and want to use that as the beginning
of a relative path under the root directory of your repo, this
could cause a problem, but then it seems like you're asking for
trouble.
* `git_buf_rfind` (with tests and tests for `git_buf_rfind_next`)
* `git_buf_puts_escaped` and `git_buf_puts_escaped_regex` (with tests)
to copy strings into a buffer while injecting an escape sequence
(e.g. '\') in front of particular characters.
On GNU, the d_name field of the dirent structure is defined as "char d_name[1]",
so we must allocate more than sizeof(struct dirent) bytes, just like on Sun.
Once a file is registered, there is no way to deregister it, even
after the structure that contains it is no longer needed and has been
freed. This may be the source of #624.
Allow and use the deregister function to remove our file from the
global list.
Currently, the first call of git_indexer_stream_add adds the data to the
underlying pack file and opens it for later use, but doesn't start
parsing the already available data.
This means, git_indexer_stream_finalize only works if
git_indexer_stream_add was called at least twice. Kill this limitation
by parsing available data immediately.
When the repository was reinitialized, every configuration change in repo_init_config() was directly performed against the file on the filesystem. However, a previous version of the configuration had previously been loaded in memory and attached to the repository, in repo_init_reinit().
The repository was unaware of the change and the stale cached version of the configuration never refreshed.
