With opportunistic ref updates, git has introduced the concept of having
base refspecs *and* refspecs that are active for a particular fetch.
Let's start by letting the user override the refspecs for download.
This is quite close to running "git for-each-ref" except:
1. It does not take any formatting or selection options at
all.
2. The output is not sorted.
I wrote it to look at debugging some issues with ref
iteration, but there's no reason it can't live on as an
example command.
This takes the `--stat` and related example options in the example
diff.c program and converts them to use the `git_diff_get_stats`
API which nicely formats stats for you.
I went to add bar-graph scaling to the stats formatter and noticed
that the `git_diff_stats` structure was holding on to all of the
`git_patch` objects. Unfortunately, each of these objects keeps
the full text of the diff in memory, so this is very expensive. I
ended up modifying `git_diff_stats` to keep just the data that it
needs to keep and allowed it to release the patches. Then, I added
width scaling to the output on top of that.
In making the diff example program match 'git diff' output, I ended
up removing an newline from the sumamry output which I then had to
compensate for in the email formatting to match the expectations.
Lastly, I went through and refactored the tests to use a couple of
helper functions and reduce the overall amount of code there.
I was playing with "git diff-index" and wanted to be able to
emulate that behavior a little more closely with the diff example.
Also, I wanted to play with running `git_diff_tree_to_workdir`
directly even though core Git doesn't exactly have the equivalent,
so I added a command line option for that and tweaked some other
things in the example code.
This changes a minor output thing in that the "raw" print helper
function will no longer add ellipses (...) if the OID is not
actually abbreviated.
This allows you to use a --repeat option to run status over and
over and see how the output changes as you make local directory
changes without reopening the git_repository object each time.
Also, adds a flag to explicitly list the submodules before status.
The order in this function is the opposite to what
create_with_fetchspec() has, so change this one, as url-then-refspec is
what git does.
As we need to break compilation and the swap doesn't do that, let's take
this opportunity to rename in-memory remotes to anonymous as that's
really what sets them apart.
`git_submodule` objects were already refcounted internally in case
the submodule name was different from the path at which it was
stored. This makes that refcounting externally used as well, so
`git_submodule_lookup` and `git_submodule_add_setup` return an
object that requires a `git_submodule_free` when done.
- Add minimal, patience diff options to diff example. libgit2
`diff_xdiff.git_xdiff_init` already supports these flags, so
no additional change is necessary.
- Remove minimal and patience flag addition from project list.
- added MSVC cmake definitions to disable warnings
- general.c is rewritten so it is ansi-c compatible and compiles ok on microsoft windows
- some MSVC reported warning fixes
