git_index_read_tree() was exposing a parameter to provide the user with
a progress indicator. Unfortunately, due to the recursive nature of the
tree walk, the maximum number of items to process was unknown. Thus,
the indicator was only counting processed entries, without providing
any information how the number of remaining items.
The new Win32 global path search was not working with the
environment variable tests. But when I fixed the test, the new
codes use of getenv() was causing more failures (presumably because
of caching on Windows ???). This fixes the global file lookup to
always go directly to the Win32 API in a predictable way.
Introduce git_remote_stop() which sets a variable that is checked by
the fetch process in a few key places. If this is variable is set, the
fetch is aborted.
Fixed no-submodule speedup of new checkout code. Fixed missing
final update to progress (which may go away, I realize). Fixed
unused structure in header and incorrect comment.
To answer if a single given file should be ignored, the path to
that file has to be processed progressively checking that there
are no intermediate ignored directories in getting to the file
in question. This enables that, fixing the broken old behavior,
and adds tests to exercise various ignore situations.
Because fnmatch uses recursion, there were some input sequences
that cause seriously degenerate behavior. This imports a fix
that imposes a max recursion limiter to avoid the worst of it.
We used to require loose references to contain only an OID (possibly
after trimming the string). This is however not enough for letting us
lookup FETCH_HEAD, which can have a lot of content after the initial
OID.
Change the parsing rules so that a loose refernce must e at least 40
bytes long and the 41st (if it's there) must be accepted by
isspace(3). This makes the trim unnecessary, so only do it for
symrefs. This fixes#977.
