A transaction allows you to lock multiple references and set up changes
for them before applying the changes all at once (or as close as the
backend supports).
This can be used for replication purposes, or for making sure some
operations run when the reference is locked and thus cannot be changed.
Instead of spreading the data in function arguments, some of which
aren't used for ssh and having a struct only for ssh, use a struct for
both, using a common parent to pass to the callback.
This option make it easy to ignore anything about the server we're
connecting to, which is bad security practice. This was necessary as we
didn't use to expose detailed information about the certificate, but now
that we do, we should get rid of this.
If the user wants to ignore everything, they can still provide a
callback which ignores all the information passed.
We should let the user decide whether to cancel the connection or not
regardless of whether our checks have decided that the certificate is
fine. We provide our own assessment to the callback to let the user fall
back to our checks if they so desire.
If the certificate validation fails (or always in the case of ssh),
let the user decide whether to allow the connection.
The data structure passed to the user is the native certificate
information from the underlying implementation, namely OpenSSL or
WinHTTP.
When using a bare repo with an index, libgit2 attempts to read
files from the index. It caches those files based on the path
to the file, specifically the path to the directory that contains
the file.
If there is no working directory, we use `git_path_dirname_r` to
get the path to the containing directory. However, for the
`.gitattributes` file in the root of the repository, this ends up
normalizing the containing path to `"."` instead of the empty
string and the lookup the `.gitattributes` data fails.
This adds a test of attribute lookups on bare repos and also
fixes the problem by simply rewriting `"."` to be `""`.
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.
It does the same as git_remote_supported_url() but has a name which
implies we'd check the URL for correctness while we're simply looking at
the scheme and looking it up in our lists.
While here, fix up the tests so we check all the combination of what's
supported.
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.
* 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://").
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.
Fixup git_attr_value's comment to be recognised as documentation, and
include the definitions needed for clang to parse reset.h such that
it shows up in the documentation.
This fixes#2430.
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.
As git_clone now has callbacks to configure the details of the
repository and remote, remove the lower-level functions from the public
API, as they lack some of the logic from git_clone proper.
Analogously to the remote creation callback, provide a way for the user
of git_clone() to create the repository with whichever options they
desire via callback.
When linking against libssh2, create the transport.h such that it
contains its definition for custom crypto and keyboard-interactive
callbacks.
If we don't link against libssh2, create an equivalent signature which
has void pointers instead of pointers to libssh2 structures.
This would be one way to fix#2438.
git_remote_set_transport now takes a transport factory rather than a transport
git_clone_options now allows the caller to specify a remote creation callback
If the user wants to keep a copy for themselves, they should make a
copy. It adds unnecessary complexity to make sure the returned entries
are valid until the builder is cleared.
Finding a filename in a vector means we need to resort it every time we
want to read from it, which includes every time we want to write to it
as well, as we want to find duplicate keys.
A hash-map fits what we want to do much more accurately, as we do not
care about sorting, but just the particular filename.
We still keep removed entries around, as the interface let you assume
they were going to be around until the treebuilder is cleared or freed,
but in this case that involves an append to a vector in the filter case,
which can now fail.
The only time we care about sorting is when we write out the tree, so
let's make that the only time we do any sorting.
