This refactors the diff output code so that an iterator object
can be used to traverse and generate the diffs, instead of just
the `foreach()` style with callbacks. The code has been rearranged
so that the two styles can still share most functions.
This also replaces `GIT_REVWALKOVER` with `GIT_ITEROVER` and uses
that as a common error code for marking the end of iteration when
using a iterator style of object.
It's implemented in revwalk.c so it has access to the revision
walker's commit cache and related functions. The algorithm is the one
used by git, modified so it fits better with the library's functions.
The code was already there, so factor it out and let users push an OID
by giving it a reference name. Only refs to commits are
supported. Annotated tags will throw an error.
It's not unusual to want the walker to act on HEAD, so add a
convencience function for the case that the user doesn't already have
a resolved HEAD reference.
git_revwalk_{push,hide}_glob() lets you push the OIDs of references
that match the specified glob. This is the basics for what git.git
does with the rev-list options --branches, --tags, --remotes and
--glob.
There were quite a few places were spaces were being used instead of
tabs. Try to catch them all. This should hopefully not break anything.
Except for `git blame`. Oh well.
1. The license header is technically not valid if it doesn't have a
copyright signature.
2. The COPYING file has been updated with the different licenses used in
the project.
3. The full GPLv2 header in each file annoys me.
The new revision walker uses an internal Commit object storage system,
custom memory allocator and much improved topological and time sorting
algorithms. It's about 20x times faster than the previous implementation
when browsing big repositories.
The following external API calls have changed:
`git_revwalk_next` returns an OID instead of a full commit object.
The initial call to `git_revwalk_next` is no longer blocking when
iterating through a repo with a time-sorting mode.
Iterating with Topological or inverted modes still makes the initial
call blocking to preprocess the commit list, but this block should be
mostly unnoticeable on most repositories (topological preprocessing
times at 0.3s on the git.git repo).
`git_revwalk_push` and `git_revwalk_hide` now take an OID instead
of a full commit object.
