As parents are older than their children, we're appending to the
commit list most of the time, which makes an ordered linked list quite
inefficient.
While we're there, don't sort the results list in the main loop, as
we're sorting them afterwards and it creates extra work.
There is no need walk down the parents of a merge base to mark them as
uninteresting because we'll never see them. Calculate the merge bases
in prepare_walk() so mark_uninteresting() can stop at a merge base
instead of walking all the way to the root.
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.
Add a new command `git_repository_open_ext` with extended options
that control how searching for a repository will be done. The
existing `git_repository_open` and `git_repository_discover` are
reimplemented on top of it. We may want to change the default
behavior of `git_repository_open` but this commit does not do that.
Improve support for "gitdir" files where the work dir is separate
from the repo and support for the "separate-git-dir" config. Also,
add support for opening repos created with `git-new-workdir` script
(although I have only confirmed that they can be opened, not that
all functions work correctly).
There are also a few minor changes that came up:
- Fix `git_path_prettify` to allow in-place prettifying.
- Fix `git_path_root` to support backslashes on Win32. This fix
should help many repo open/discover scenarios - it is the one
function called when opening before prettifying the path.
- Tweak `git_config_get_string` to set the "out" pointer to NULL
if the config value is not found. Allows some other cleanup.
- Fix a couple places that should have been calling
`git_repository_config__weakptr` and were not.
- Fix `cl_git_sandbox_init` clar helper to support bare repos.
There was a bug in git_buf_join_n when the contents of the
original buffer were joined into itself and the realloc
moved the pointer to the original buffer.
This adds support for a bunch of core.* settings that affect
diff and status, plus fixes up some incorrect implementations
of those settings from before. Also, this cleans up the
handling of config settings in the new submodules code and
in the old attrs/ignore code.
When processing status for a newly checked out repo, it is
possible that there will be submodules that have not yet been
initialized. The only way to distinguish these from untracked
directories is to have some knowledge of submodules. This
commit adds a new submodule API which, given a name or path,
can determine if it appears to be a submodule and can give
information about the submodule.
I decided that the COITERATE macro was, in the end causing
more confusion that it would save and decided just to write
out the loops that I needed for parallel diff list iteration.
It is not that much code and this just feels less obfuscated.
There was an error in the tree iterator where it would
delete two tree levels instead of just one when popping
up a tree level. Unfortunately the test data for the
tree iterator did not have any deep trees with subtrees
in the middle of the tree items, so this problem went
unnoticed. This contains the 1-line fix plus new test
data and tests that reveal the issue.
This gives `git_status_foreach()` back its old behavior of
emulating the "--untracked=all" behavior of git. You can
get any of the various --untracked options by passing flags
to `git_status_foreach_ext()` but the basic version will
keep the behavior it has always had.
This fixes the bug that @nulltoken found (thank you!) where
if there were untracked directories alphabetically after the
last tracked item, the diff implementation would deref a NULL
pointer.
The fix involved the code which decides if it is necessary
to recurse into a directory in the working dir, so it was
easy to add a new option `GIT_STATUS_OPT_RECURSE_UNTRACKED_DIRS`
to control if the contents of untracked directories should be
included in status.
This adds support for roughly-right tracking of submodules
(although it does not recurse into submodules to detect
internal modifications a la core git), and it adds support
for including unmodified files in diff iteration if requested.
This includes a few cleanups that came up while converting
these files.
This commit introduces a could new git error classes, including
the catchall class: GITERR_INVALID which I'm using as the class
for invalid and out of range values which are detected at too low
a level of library to use a higher level classification. For
example, an overflow error in parsing an integer or a bad letter
in parsing an OID string would generate an error in this class.
