There are a number of bugs in the rename code that only were
obvious when I started testing it against large old repos with
more complex patterns. (The code to do that testing is not ready
to merge with libgit2, but I do plan to add more thorough tests.)
This contains a significant number of changes and also tweaks the
public API slightly to make emulating core git easier.
Most notably, this separates the GIT_DIFF_FIND_AND_BREAK_REWRITES
flag into FIND_REWRITES (which adds a self-similarity score to
every modified file) and BREAK_REWRITES (which splits the modified
deltas into add/remove pairs in the diff list). When you do a raw
output of core git, rewrites show up as M090 or such, not at A and
D output, so I wanted to be able to emulate that.
Publicly, this also changes the flags to be uint16_t since we
don't need values out of that range.
Internally, this contains significant changes from a number of
small bug fixes (like using the wrong side of the diff to decide
if the object could be found in the ODB vs the workdir) to larger
issues about which files can and should be compared and how the
various edge cases of similarity scores should be treated.
Honestly, I don't think this is the last update that will have to
be made to this code, but I think this moves us closer to correct
behavior and I tried to document the code so it would be easier
to follow..
I frequently want to the the first N digits of an OID formatted
as a string and I'd like it to be efficient. This function makes
that easy and I could rewrite the OID formatters in terms of it.
When the last item in a diff was an untracked directory that only
contained ignored items, the loop to scan the contents would run
off the end of the iterator and dereference a NULL pointer. This
includes a test that reproduces the problem and a fix.
There was a problem found in the Rugged test suite where the
refdb_fs_backend__next function could exit too early in some
very specific hashing patterns for packed refs. This ports
the Rugged test to libgit2 and then fixes the bug.
Nobody should ever be using anything other than ALL at this level, so
remove the option altogether.
As part of this, git_reference_foreach_glob is now implemented in the
frontend using an iterator. Backends will later regain the ability of
doing the glob filtering in the backend.
If you use rename detection, the renamed and copied files would
not show any text diffs because the function that decides if
data should be loaded didn't know which sides of the diff to
load for those cases.
This adds a test that looks at the patch generated for diff
entries that are COPIED or RENAMED.
The git_status_file API was doing a hack to deal with files that
are inside ignored directories. The status scan was not reporting
any file in this case, so git_status_file would attempt a final
"stat()" call, and return IGNORED if the file actually existed.
On case-insensitive filesystems where core.ignorecase is set
incorrectly, this magic check can "succeed" and report a file
as ignored when it should actually return ENOTFOUND.
Now that we have the GIT_STATUS_OPT_RECURSE_IGNORED_DIRS, we can
use that flag to make sure that git_status_file() will look into
ignored directories and eliminate the hack completely, so we give
the correct error.
This clarifies the docs for git_repository_message and also adds
to the tests to explicitly check NUL termination of data when the
output buffer is smaller than the message size. There is a minor
behavior change so that a non-NULL output buffer will always be
NUL terminated (at length zero) if an error occurs.
When a repository is initialised, we need to probe to see if there is
a global config to load. If this is not the case, the user isn't able
to write to the global config without creating the backend and adding
it themselves, which is inconvenient and overly complex.
Unconditionally create and add a backend for the global config file
regardless of whether it exists as a convenience for users.
To enable this, we allow creating backends to files that do not exist
yet, changing the semantics somewhat, and making some tests invalid.
When tagopt is set to '--tags', we should only take the default tags
refspec into account and ignore any configured ones.
Bring the code into compliance.
When a patch contained an eofnl change (i.e. the last line either
gained or lost a newline), the oldno and newno line number values
for the lines in the last hunk of the patch were not useful. This
makes them behave in a more expected manner.
This adds a new line origin constant for the special line that
is used when both files end without a newline.
In the course of writing the tests for this, I was having problems
with modifying a file but not having diff notice because it was
the same size and modified less than one second from the start of
the test, so I decided to start working on nanosecond timestamp
support. This commit doesn't contain the nanosecond support, but
it contains the reorganization of maybe_modified and the hooks so
that if the nanosecond data were being read by stat() (or rather
being copied by git_index_entry__init_from_stat), then the nsec
would be taken into account.
This new stuff could probably use some more tests, although there
is some amount of it here.
Currently git_branch_set_upstream when passed a local branch
creates invalid configuration, for ex. if we setup branch
'tracking_master' to track local 'master' libgit2 generates
the following config
```
[branch "track_master"]
remote = .
merge = .refs/heads/track_master
```
The merge value is invalid and calling git_branch_upstream on
'tracking_master' results in invalid reference error.
It should do:
```
[branch "track_master"]
remote = .
merge = refs/heads/master
```
Older versions of git would only write peeled entries for
items under refs/tags/. Newer versions will write them for
all refs, and we should be prepared to handle that.
