Up to now, the idea was that the user would do all the operations for
one repository in the same thread. Thus we could have the
memory-mapped window information thread-local and avoid any locking.
This is not practical in a few environments, such as Apple's GCD which
allocates threads arbitrarily or the .NET CLR, where the OS-level
thread can change at any moment.
Make the control structure global and protect it with a mutex so we
don't depend on the thread currently executing the code.
If you want to be absolutely safe with git_message_prettify, you
can now pass a NULL pointer for the buffer and get back the number
of bytes that would be copied into the buffer.
This means that an error is a non-negative return code and a
success will be greater than zero from this function.
Returning a negative cancels the walk, and returning a positive one
causes us to skip an entry, which was previously done by a negative
value.
This allows us to stay consistent with the rest of the functions that
take a callback and keeps the skipping functionality.
There is a little cleanup necessary from PR #843. Since the
new callbacks return `GIT_EUSER` we have to be a little careful
about return values when they are used internally to the library.
Also, callbacks should be checked for non-zero return values,
not just less than zero.
This updates all the `foreach()` type functions across the library
that take callbacks from the user to have a consistent behavior.
The rules are:
* A callback terminates the loop by returning any non-zero value
* Once the callback returns non-zero, it will not be called again
(i.e. the loop stops all iteration regardless of state)
* If the callback returns non-zero, the parent fn returns GIT_EUSER
* Although the parent returns GIT_EUSER, no error will be set in
the library and `giterr_last()` will return NULL if called.
This commit makes those changes across the library and adds tests
for most of the iteration APIs to make sure that they follow the
above rules.
Fixes#824
Exporting variables in a dynamic library is a PITA. Let's keep
these values internally and wrap them through a helper method.
This doesn't break the external API. @arrbee, aren't you glad I turned
the `GIT_ATTR_` macros into function macros? ✨
The 'git revert/cherry-pick/merge -n' commands leave .git/MERGE_MSG
behind so that git-commit can find it. As we don't yet support these
operations, users who are shelling out to let git perform these
operations haven't had a convenient way to get this message.
These functions allow the user to retrieve the message and remove it
when she's created the commit.
Instad of each transport having its own function and logic to get to
its refs, store them directly in transport.
Leverage the new gitno_buffer to make the parsing and storing of the
refs use common code and get rid of the git_protocol struct.
This allows us to add capabilitites to both at the same time, keeps
them in sync and removes a lot of code.
gitno_buffer now uses a callback to fill its buffer, allowing us to
use the same interface for git and http (which uses callbacks).
For the transition, http is going to keep its own logic until the
git/common code catches up with the implied multi_ack that http
has. This also has the side-effect of making the code cleaner and more
correct regardingt he protocol.
git.git uses an inlined hashcmp function instead of memcmp, since it
performes much better when comparing hashes (most hashes compared
diverge within the first byte).
Measurements and rationale for the curious reader:

Renamed git_checkout_index to what it really was,
and removed duplicate code from clone.c. Added
git_checkout_ref, which updates HEAD and hands off
to git_checkout_head.
Added tests for the options the caller can pass to
git_checkout_*.
