Instead of returning directly the pattern as the return value, I used an
out parameter, because the function also tests if the passed pathspecs
vector is empty. If yes, it considers that the path "matches", but in
that case there is no matched pattern per se.
This removes the need to explicitly pass the repo into iterators
where the repo is implied by the other parameters. This moves
the repo to be owned by the parent struct. Also, this has some
iterator related updates to the internal diff API to lay the
groundwork for checkout improvements.
This fixes some missed places where we can apply const-ness to
various public APIs.
There are still some index and tree APIs that cannot take const
pointers because we sort our `git_vectors` lazily and so we can't
reliably bsearch the index and tree content without applying a
`git_vector_sort()` first.
This also fixes some missed places where size_t can be used and
where const can be applied to a couple internal functions.
The index iterator could previously only be created from a repo
object, but this allows creating an iterator from a `git_index`
object instead (while keeping, though renaming, the old function).
This is a major reworking of checkout strategy options. The
checkout code is now sensitive to the contents of the HEAD tree
and the new options allow you to update the working tree so that
it will match the index content only when it previously matched
the contents of the HEAD. This allows you to, for example, to
distinguish between removing files that are in the HEAD but not
in the index, vs just removing all untracked files.
Because of various corner cases that arise, etc., this required
some additional capabilities in rmdir and other utility functions.
This includes the beginnings of an implementation of code to read
a partial tree into the index based on a pathspec, but that is
not enabled because of the possibility of creating conflicting
index entries.
There are some diff functions that are useful in a rewritten
checkout and this lays some groundwork for that. This contains
three main things:
1. Share the function diff uses to calculate the OID for a file
in the working directory (now named `git_diff__oid_for_file`
2. Add a `git_diff__paired_foreach` function to iterator over
two diff lists concurrently. Convert status to use it.
3. Move all the string/prefix/index entry comparisons into
function pointers inside the `git_diff_list` object so they
can be switched between case sensitive and insensitive
versions. This makes them easier to reuse in various
functions without replicating logic. As part of this, move
a couple of index functions out of diff.c and into index.c.
This adds a new API that allows users to reload the config if the
file has changed on disk. A new config callback function to
refresh the config was added.
The modified time and file size are used to test if the file needs
to be reloaded (and are now stored in the disk backend object).
In writing tests, just using mtime was a problem / race, so I
wanted to check file size as well. To support that, I extended
`git_futils_readbuffer_updated` to optionally check file size in
addition to mtime, and I added a new function `git_filebuf_stats`
to fetch the mtime and size for an open filebuf (so that the
config could be easily refreshed after a write).
Lastly, I moved some similar file checking code for attributes
into filebuf. It is still only being used for attrs, but it
seems potentially reusable, so I thought I'd move it over.
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.
This fixes git_index_add and git_index_append to behave more like
core git, preserving old filemode data in the index when adding
and/or appending with core.filemode = false.
This also has placeholder support for core.symlinks and
core.ignorecase, but those flags are not implemented (well,
symlinks has partial support for preserving mode information in
the same way that git does, but it isn't tested).
