This extends git_repository_init_ext further with support for
initializing the repository from an external template directory
and with support for the "create shared" type flags that make a
set GID repository directory.
This also adds tests for much of the new functionality to the
existing `repo/init.c` test suite.
Also, this adds a bunch of new utility functions including a
very general purpose `git_futils_mkdir` (with the ability to
make paths and to chmod the paths post-creation) and a file
tree copying function `git_futils_cp_r`. Also, this includes
some new path functions that were useful to keep the code
simple.
The extended version of repository init adds support for many
of the things that you can do with `git init` and sets up
structures that will make it easier to extend further in the
future.
If you want to be absolutely safe with git_message_prettify, you
can now pass a NULL pointer for the buffer and get back the number
of bytes that would be copied into the buffer.
This means that an error is a non-negative return code and a
success will be greater than zero from this function.
Returning a negative cancels the walk, and returning a positive one
causes us to skip an entry, which was previously done by a negative
value.
This allows us to stay consistent with the rest of the functions that
take a callback and keeps the skipping functionality.
In the documentation for git_config_get_mapped, the sample mapping
array uses [3] but has 4 entries. Fix by dropping the size entirely and
letting the compiler figure it out.
Commit 0c9eacf3d2 introduced the function
git_attr_value and switched the GIT_ATTR_* macros to use it, but
attempting to use that function leads to a linker error (undefined
reference to `git_attr_value'). Export git_attr_value so programs can
actually call it.
This updates all the `foreach()` type functions across the library
that take callbacks from the user to have a consistent behavior.
The rules are:
* A callback terminates the loop by returning any non-zero value
* Once the callback returns non-zero, it will not be called again
(i.e. the loop stops all iteration regardless of state)
* If the callback returns non-zero, the parent fn returns GIT_EUSER
* Although the parent returns GIT_EUSER, no error will be set in
the library and `giterr_last()` will return NULL if called.
This commit makes those changes across the library and adds tests
for most of the iteration APIs to make sure that they follow the
above rules.
Fixes#824
Exporting variables in a dynamic library is a PITA. Let's keep
these values internally and wrap them through a helper method.
This doesn't break the external API. @arrbee, aren't you glad I turned
the `GIT_ATTR_` macros into function macros? ✨
The 'git revert/cherry-pick/merge -n' commands leave .git/MERGE_MSG
behind so that git-commit can find it. As we don't yet support these
operations, users who are shelling out to let git perform these
operations haven't had a convenient way to get this message.
These functions allow the user to retrieve the message and remove it
when she's created the commit.
git.git uses an inlined hashcmp function instead of memcmp, since it
performes much better when comparing hashes (most hashes compared
diverge within the first byte).
Measurements and rationale for the curious reader:

Renamed git_checkout_index to what it really was,
and removed duplicate code from clone.c. Added
git_checkout_ref, which updates HEAD and hands off
to git_checkout_head.
Added tests for the options the caller can pass to
git_checkout_*.
This makes sure that an error code returned by the callback function
of `git_tree_walk` will stop the iteration and get propagated back
to the caller verbatim.
Also, this adds a minor helper function `git_tree_entry_byoid` that
searches a `git_tree` for an entry with the given OID. This isn't
a fast function, but it's easier than writing the loop yourself as
an external user of the library.
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.
So far they only create a repo, setup the "origin"
remote, and fetch. The API probably needs work as
well; there's no way to get progress information
at this point.
Also uncovered a shortcoming; git_remote_download
doesn't fetch over local transport.
