Always lock the index when we begin the merge, before we write
any of the metdata files. This prevents a race where another
client may run a commit after we have written the MERGE_HEAD but
before we have updated the index, which will produce a merge
commit that is treesame to one parent. The merge will finish and
update the index and the resultant commit would not be a merge at
all.
Introduce `git_indexwriter`, to allow us to lock the index while
performing additional operations, then complete the write (or abort,
unlocking the index).
Correct the merge failed cleanup test. Merge data should not be
cleaned up on conflicts, only on actual failure. And ORIG_HEAD
should not be removed at all.
Make our overflow checking look more like gcc and clang's, so that
we can substitute it out with the compiler instrinsics on platforms
that support it. This means dropping the ability to pass `NULL` as
an out parameter.
As a result, the macros also get updated to reflect this as well.
It fails at least on my computer, though it may depend on some unpredictable
factors (say, will realloc() extend the memory segment in place, or it will
allocate new memory).
`p_stat` calls `git_win32_path_from_utf8`, which canonicalizes the
path. Do not further try to modify the path, else we trim the
trailing slash from a root directory and try to access `C:` instead
of `C:/`.
Test to ensure that we can create a repository at the filesystem
root. Introduces a new test environment variable,
`GITTEST_INVASIVE_FILESYSTEM` for tests that do terrible things like
escaping the clar sandbox and writing to the root directory. It is
expected that the CI builds will enable this but that normal people
would not want this.
The .gitattributes cache should not reload .gitattributes in the
middle of checking out, only between checkout operations. Otherwise,
we'll spend all our time stat'ing and read'ing the gitattributes.
The structinit tests don't make sense unless structure padding
is uniformly initialized, which is unlikely to happen on release
builds. Only enable them for DEBUG builds. Further, rename them
to core::structinit.
On case insensitive filesystems, we may have files in the working
directory that case fold to a name we want to write. Remove those
files (by default) so that we will not end up with a filename that
has the unexpected case.
The documentation for `git_path_join_unrooted` states that the base
length will be returned, so that consumers like checkout know where
to start creating directories instead of always creating directories
at the directory root.
The implementation of the hashsig API disallows computing a signature on
small files containing only a few lines. This new flag disables this
behavior.
git_diff_find_similar() sets this flag by default which means that rename
/ copy detection of small files will now work. This in turn affects the
behavior of the git_status and git_blame APIs which will now detect rename
of small files assuming the right options are passed.
