On case insensitive filesystems, we may have files in the working
directory that case fold to a name we want to write. Remove those
files (by default) so that we will not end up with a filename that
has the unexpected case.
The checkout notify callback behavior on non-zero return values
was not being tested. This adds tests, fixes a bug with positive
values, and clarifies the documentation to make it clear that the
checkout can be canceled via this mechanism.
In git_checkout_tree, the first check tests if either repo or treeish is
NULL and says that eithor of them has to have a valid value. But there
is no code to handle the treeish == NULL case.
So, do something meaningful in that case: use HEAD instead.
Unfortunately git-core uses the term "unborn branch" and "orphan
branch" interchangeably. However, "orphan" is only really there for
the checkout command, which has the `--orphan` option so it doesn't
actually create the branch.
Branches never have parents, so the distinction of a branch with no
parents is odd to begin with. Crucially, the error messages deal with
unborn branches, so let's use that.
This adds the ability for checkout to write to a target directory
instead of having to use the working directory of the repository.
This makes it easier to do exports of repository data and the like.
This is similar to, but not quite the same as, the --prefix option
to `git checkout-index` (this will always be treated as a directory
name, not just as a simple text prefix).
As part of this, the workdir iterator was extended to take the
path to the working directory as a parameter and fallback on the
git_repository_workdir result only if it's not specified.
Fixes#1332
This fixes the checkout case when a file is modified between the
baseline and the target and yet missing in the working directory.
The logic for that case appears to have been wrong.
This also adds a useful checkout notify callback to the checkout
test helpers that will count notifications and also has a debug
mode to visualize what checkout thinks that it's doing.
This adds an option to checkout a la the diff option to turn off
fnmatch evaluation for pathspec entries. This can be useful to
make sure your "pattern" in really interpretted as an exact file
match only.
This moves a lot of the detailed checkout documentation into a new
file (docs/checkout-internals.md) and simplifies the public docs
for the checkout API.
Make checkout update entries in the index for all files that are
updated and/or removed, unless flag GIT_CHECKOUT_DONT_UPDATE_INDEX
is given. To do this, iterators were extended to allow a little
more introspection into the index being iterated over, etc.
This flips checkout back to be driven off the changes between
the baseline and the target trees. This reinstates the complex
code for tracking the contents of the working directory, but
overall, I think the resulting logic is easier to follow.
I've tried to map out the detailed behaviors of checkout and make
sure that we're handling the various cases correctly, along with
providing options to allow us to emulate "git checkout" and "git
checkout-index" with the various flags. I've thrown away flags
in the checkout API that seemed like clutter and added some new
ones. Also, I've converted the conflict callback to a general
notification callback so we can emulate "git checkout" output and
display "dirty" files.
As of this commit, the new behavior is not working 100% but some
of that is probably baked into tests that are not testing the
right thing. This is a decent snapshot point, I think, along the
way to getting the update done.
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 started as a complex new test for checkout going through the
"typechanges" test repository, but that revealed numerous issues
with checkout, including:
* complete failure with submodules
* failure to create blobs with exec bits
* problems when replacing a tree with a blob because the tree
"example/" sorts after the blob "example" so the delete was
being processed after the single file blob was created
This fixes most of those problems and includes a number of other
minor changes that made it easier to do that, including improving
the TYPECHANGE support in diff/status, etc.
