It turns out that erroring out on duplicate commits is the right thing
to do, but git was not hitting the bug on the server-side.
Bring back a descriptive error message in case of duplicate entries and
error out.
If a packfile includes duplicate objects, we can choose to use the
secon copy instead of the first by using the same logic as if it were
the first.
Change the error condition from 0 to -1, which indicates a bad resize,
and set the OOM message in that case.
This does mean we will leak the first copy of the object. We can deal
with that later, but making fetches work is more important.
While this is not even close to a fix, we can at least set an error
message so we know which error we are facing. Up to know we just
returned an error without a message.
This was but down to 5 when GitHub made a change to their server which
made them stop honouring the include-tag request.
This has recently been corrected, so we can bring it back up to six.
Currently git_submodule_sync writes the submodule's URL to the
key 'branch.<REMOTE_NAME>.remote' while the reference
implementation of `git submodule sync` writes to
'remote.<REMOTE_NAME>.url', which is the intended behavior
according to git-submodule(1).
The current implementation does not set 'fire_callback' back to 0 for failed updates so the callback still fires.
Instead of adding yet another condition check to set 'fire_callback' to 0 if needed, considering this function should be a no-op for failed updates anyway, the best fix is to simplify its logic to check upfront if the update is a failed one.
The default behaviour for the packbuilder is to perform the work in a
single thread, which is fine for the public API, but we currently have
no way for a user to determine the number of threads to use when
creating the packfile, which makes our clone behaviour over the
filesystem quite a bit slower than what git offers.
This is a very particular scenario, in which we avoid spawning git by
being ourselves the server-side, so it's probably ok to auto-set the
threading, as the upload-pack process would do if we were talking to
git.
Currently we use the most naïve and inefficient method for figuring out
which objects to send to the remote whereby we end up trying to insert
subdirs which have not changed multiple times.
Instead, make use of the packbuilder's built-in more efficient method
which uses the walk to feed the object list and avoids inserting an
object and its descendants.
Most use-cases for the object packer communicate in terms of commits
which each side has. We already have an object to specify this
relationship between commits, namely git_revwalk.
By knowing which commits we want to pack and which the other side
already has, we can perform similar optimisations to git, by marking
each tree as interesting or uninteresting only once, and not sending
those trees which we know the other side has.
Keep the definitions in the headers, while putting the declarations in
the C files. Putting the function definitions in headers causes
them to be duplicated if you include two headers with them.
If a refspec could not be parsed, the git_refspec__parse function would
return an error value but would not provide additional error information
for the callers. This commit amends that function to set a more useful
error message.
When we rename a reference, we want the old and new ids to be the same
one (as we did not change it). The normal code path looks up the old id
from the current value of the brtanch, but by the time we look it up, it
does not exist anymore and thus we write a zero id.
Pass the old id explicitly instead.
use MSYS makefiles generator
add bash script for running mingw on appveyor
add --login and fix run paths
use msys style path to appveyor-mingw.sh
add mingw path to /etc/fstab
Clear the error message on git_libgit2_shutdown for all versions of
the library (no threads and Win32 threads). Drop the giterr_clear
in clar, as that shouldn't be necessary.
