This added a flag to the `git_repository_set_workdir()` function
that enables generation of a `.git` gitlink file that links the
new workdir to the parent repository. Essentially, the flag tells
the function to write out the changes to disk to permanently set
the workdir of the repository to the new path.
If you pass this flag as true, then setting the workdir to something
other than the default workdir (i.e. the parent of the .git repo
directory), will create a plain file named ".git" with the standard
gitlink contents "gitdir: <repo-path>", and also update the
"core.worktree" and "core.bare" config values.
Setting the workdir to the default repo workdir will clear the
core.worktree flag (but still permanently set core.bare to false).
BTW, the libgit2 API does not currently provide a function for
clearing the workdir and converting a non-bare repo into a bare one.
Adding a new config iteration function that let's you iterate
over just the config entries that match a particular regular
expression. The old foreach becomes a simple use of this with
an empty pattern.
This also fixes an apparent bug in the existing `git_config_foreach`
where returning a non-zero value from the iteration callback was
not correctly aborting the iteration and the returned value was
not being propogated back to the caller of foreach.
Added to tests to cover all these changes.
This fixes git_index_add and git_index_append to behave more like
core git, preserving old filemode data in the index when adding
and/or appending with core.filemode = false.
This also has placeholder support for core.symlinks and
core.ignorecase, but those flags are not implemented (well,
symlinks has partial support for preserving mode information in
the same way that git does, but it isn't tested).
git_commit() and git_tag() no longer prettify the
message by default. This has to be taken care of
by the caller.
This has the nice side effect of putting the
caller in position to actually choose to strip
the comments or not.
There are three actual changes in this commit:
1. When the trailing newline of a file is removed in a diff, the
change will now be reported with `GIT_DIFF_LINE_DEL_EOFNL` passed
to the callback. Previously, the `ADD_EOFNL` constant was given
which was just an error in my understanding of when the various
circumstances arose. `GIT_DIFF_LINE_ADD_EOFNL` is deprecated and
should never be generated. A new newline is simply an `ADD`.
2. Rewrote the `diff_delta__merge_like_cgit` function that contains
the core logic of the `git_diff_merge` implementation. The new
version doesn't actually have significantly different behavior,
but the logic should be much more obvious, I think.
3. Fixed a bug in `git_diff_merge` where it freed a string pool
while some of the string data was still in use. This led to
`git_diff_print_patch` accessing memory that had been freed.
The rest of this commit contains improved documentation in `diff.h`
to make the behavior and the equivalencies with core git clearer,
and a bunch of new tests to cover the various cases, oh and a minor
simplification of `examples/diff.c`.
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.
