The following files now have 0444 permissions:
- loose objects
- pack indexes
- pack files
- packs downloaded by fetch
- packs downloaded by the HTTP transport
And the following files now have 0666 permissions:
- config files
- repository indexes
- reflogs
- refs
This brings libgit2 more in line with Git.
Note that git_filebuf_commit() and git_filebuf_commit_at() have both
gained a new mode parameter.
The latter change fixes an important issue where filebufs created with
GIT_FILEBUF_TEMPORARY received 0600 permissions (due to mkstemp(3)
usage). Now we chmod() the file before renaming it into place.
Tests have been added to confirm that new commit, tag, and tree
objects are created with the right permissions. I don't have access to
Windows, so for now I've guarded the tests with "#ifndef GIT_WIN32".
To further match how Git behaves, this change makes most of the
directories libgit2 creates in a git repo have a file mode of
0777. Specifically:
- Intermediate directories created with git_futils_mkpath2file() have
0777 permissions. This affects odb_loose, reflog, and refs.
- The top level folder for bare repos is created with 0777
permissions.
- The top level folder for non-bare repos is created with 0755
permissions.
- /objects/info/, /objects/pack/, /refs/heads/, and /refs/tags/ are
created with 0777 permissions.
Additionally, the following changes have been made:
- fileops functions that create intermediate directories have grown a
new dirmode parameter. The only exception to this is filebuf's
lock_file(), which unconditionally creates intermediate directories
with 0777 permissions when GIT_FILEBUF_FORCE is set.
- The test runner now sets the umask to 0 before running any
tests. This ensurses all file mode checks are consistent across
systems.
- t09-tree.c now does a directory permissions check. I've avoided
adding this check to other tests that might reuse existing
directories from the prefabricated test repos. Because they're
checked into the repo, they have 0755 permissions.
- Other assorted directories created by tests have 0777 permissions.
Hey. Apologies in advance -- I broke your bindings.
This is a major commit that includes a long-overdue redesign of the
whole object-database structure. This is expected to be the last major
external API redesign of the library until the first non-alpha release.
Please get your bindings up to date with these changes. They will be
included in the next minor release. Sorry again!
Major features include:
- Real caching and refcounting on parsed objects
- Real caching and refcounting on objects read from the ODB
- Streaming writes & reads from the ODB
- Single-method writes for all object types
- The external API is now partially thread-safe
The speed increases are significant in all aspects, specially when
reading an object several times from the ODB (revwalking) and when
writing big objects to the ODB.
Here's a full changelog for the external API:
blob.h

- Remove `git_blob_new`
- Remove `git_blob_set_rawcontent`
- Remove `git_blob_set_rawcontent_fromfile`

The `path` argument is now relative to the repository's working dir
- Add `git_blob_create_frombuffer`
commit.h

tag.h
-----
- Remove `git_tag_new`
- Remove `git_tag_set_target`
- Remove `git_tag_set_name`
- Remove `git_tag_set_tagger`
- Remove `git_tag_set_message`
- Add `git_tag_create`
- Add `git_tag_create_o`
tree.h
------
- Change `git_tree_entry_2object`:
New signature is `(git_object **object_out, git_repository *repo, git_tree_entry *entry)`
- Remove `git_tree_new`
- Remove `git_tree_add_entry`
- Remove `git_tree_remove_entry_byindex`
- Remove `git_tree_remove_entry_byname`
- Remove `git_tree_clearentries`

- Remove `git_tree_entry_set_attributes`
object.h
------------
- Remove `git_object_new
- Remove `git_object_write`
- Change `git_object_close`:
This method is now *mandatory*. Not closing an object causes a
memory leak.
odb.h
-----
- Remove type `git_rawobj`
- Remove `git_rawobj_close`
- Rename `git_rawobj_hash` -> `git_odb_hash`
- Change `git_odb_hash`:
New signature is `(git_oid *id, const void *data, size_t len, git_otype type)`
- Add type `git_odb_object`
- Add `git_odb_object_close`
- Change `git_odb_read`:
New signature is `(git_odb_object **out, git_odb *db, const git_oid *id)`
- Change `git_odb_read_header`:
New signature is `(size_t *len_p, git_otype *type_p, git_odb *db, const git_oid *id)`
- Remove `git_odb_write`
- Add `git_odb_open_wstream`
- Add `git_odb_open_rstream`
odb_backend.h
-------------
- Change type `git_odb_backend`:
New internal signatures are as follows
int (* read)(void **, size_t *, git_otype *, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *)
int (* read_header)(size_t *, git_otype *, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *)
int (* writestream)(struct git_odb_stream **, struct git_odb_backend *, size_t, git_otype)
int (* readstream)( struct git_odb_stream **, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *)
- Add type `git_odb_stream`
- Add enum `git_odb_streammode`

Tests are now declared with detailed descriptions and a short test name:
BEGIN_TEST(the_test0, "this is an example test that does something")
...
END_TEST
Modules are declared through a simple macro interface:
BEGIN_MODULE(mod_name)
ADD_TEST(the_test0);
...
END_MODULE
Error messages when tests fail have been greatly improved.

Test helper function which recursively copies the content of a
directory. This function has been tweaked to prevent stack overflows by
reusing the same path buffers on all recursive calls.
Libgit2 is now officially include as
#include "<git2.h>"
or indidividual files may be included as
#include <git2/index.h>

The maze with include dependencies has been fixed.
There is now a global include:
#include <git.h>
The git_odb_backend API has been exposed.

The constructor to git_repository is now called
'git_repository_open(path)'
and takes a path to a git repository instead of an existing ODB object.
Unit tests have been updated accordingly and the two test repositories
have been merged into one.

Basic write-back & in-memory editing for objects is now tested in t0403
(commits), t0802 (tags) and t0902 (trees).
Add new helper functions in test_helpers.c to remove the loose objects
created when doing write-back tests.

The 'git_obj' structure is now called 'git_rawobj', since
it represents a raw object read from the ODB.
The 'git_repository_object' structure is now called 'git_object',
since it's the base object class for all objects.
