A number of diff APIs and the `git_checkout_index` API take a
`git_repository` object an operate on the index. This updates
them to take a `git_index` pointer explicitly and only fall back
on the `git_repository` index if the index input is NULL. This
makes it easier to operate on a temporary index.
This fixes a number of warnings and problems with cross-platform
builds. Among other things, it's not safe to name a member of a
structure "strcmp" because that may be #defined.
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.
This improves docs in some of the public header files, cleans
up and improves some of the example code, and fixes a couple
of pedantic warnings in places.
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.
This improves the naming for the rename related functionality
moving it to be called `git_diff_find_similar()` and renaming
all the associated constants, etc. to make more sense.
I also moved the new code (plus the existing `git_diff_merge`)
into a new file `diff_tform.c` where I can put new functions
related to manipulating git diff lists.
This also updates the implementation significantly from the
last revision fixing some ordering issues (where break-rewrite
needs to be handled prior to copy and rename detection) and
improving config option handling.
This adds a `git_diff_patch_print()` API which is more like the
existing API to "print" a patch from an entire `git_diff_list`
but operates on a single `git_diff_patch` object.
Also, it rewrites the `git_diff_patch_to_str()` API to use that
function (making it very small).
