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.
Our mkdir helper was failing is a parent directory was not
accessible even if the child directory could be created.
This changes the helper to keep trying child directories
even when the parent is unwritable.
The old `allocfmt` is of no use to callers, as they are not able to free
the returned buffer. Export a new API that returns a static string that
doesn't need to be freed.
The online::push::notes test pushes a note but leaves it hanging
around for other tests to stumble across when they're validating
that they're seeing the refs they expect to see. Clean it up on
exit.
* Move the transport registration mechanisms into a new header under
'sys/' because this is advanced stuff.
* Remove the 'priority' argument from the registration as it adds
unnecessary complexity. (Since transports cannot decline to operate,
only the highest priority transport is ever executed.) Users who
require per-priority transports can implement that in their custom
transport themselves.
* Simplify registration further by taking a scheme (eg "http") instead
of a prefix (eg "http://").
In the check for multiline, we traverse the backslashes from the end
backwards and int the end assert that we haven't gone past the beginning
of the line. We make sure of this in the loop condition, but we also
check in the return value.
However, for certain configurations, a line in a multiline variable
might be empty to aid formatting. In that case, 'end' == 'start', since
we ended up looking at the first char which made it a multiline.
There is no need for the (end > start) check in the return, since the
loop guarantees we won't go further back than the first char in the
line, and we do accept the first char to be the final backslash.
This fixes#2483.
`git help ignore` has this to say about trailing slashes:
> If the pattern ends with a slash, it is removed for the purpose of
> the following description, but it would only find a match with a
> directory. In other words, foo/ will match a directory foo and
> paths underneath it, but will not match a regular file or a
> symbolic link foo (this is consistent with the way how pathspec
> works in general in Git).
Sure enough, having manually performed the same steps as this test,
`git status` tells us the following:
# On branch master
#
# Initial commit
#
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)
#
# new file: force.txt
#
# Untracked files:
# (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
# ../.gitignore
# child1/
# child2/
i.e. neither child1 nor child2 is ignored.
When writing 'bin/*' in the rules, this means we ignore very file inside
bin/ individually, but do not ignore the directory itself. Thus the
status listing should list both files under bin/, one untracked and one
ignored.
We always calculate multiple merge bases, but up to now we had only
exposed the "best" merge base.
Introduce git_oidarray which analogously to git_strarray lets us return
multiple ids.
git allows you to set which paths to use for the git server programs
when connecting over ssh; and we want to provide something similar.
We do this by providing a factory function which can be set as the
remote's transport callback which will set the given paths upon
creation.
