Only apply LEADING_DIR pattern munging to patterns in ignore and
attribute files, not to pathspecs used to select files to operate
on. Also, allow internal macro definitions to be evaluated before
loading all external ones (important so that external ones can
make use of internal `binary` definition).
Ignore patterns that ended with a trailing '/*' were still needing
to match against another actual '/' character in the full path.
This is not the same behavior as core Git.
Instead, we strip a trailing '/*' off of any patterns that were
matching and just take it to imply the FNM_LEADING_DIR behavior.
There was a latent bug where files that use macro definitions
could be parsed before the macro definitions were loaded. Because
of attribute file caching, preloading files that are going to be
used doesn't add a significant amount of overhead, so let's always
preload any files that could contain macros before we assemble the
actual vector of files to scan for attributes.
When traversing the directory structure, the iterator pushes and
pops ignore files using a vector. Some directories don't have
ignore files, so it uses a path comparison to decide when it is
right to actually pop the last ignore file. This was only
comparing directory suffixes, though, so a subdirectory with the
same name as a parent could result in the parent's .gitignore
being popped off the list ignores too early. This changes the
logic to compare the entire relative path of the ignore file.
The ssh-specific credentials allow the username to be missing. The idea
being that the ssh transport will then use the username provided in the
url, if it's available. There are two main issues with this.
The credential callback already knows what username was provided by the
url and needs to figure out whether it wants to ask the user for it or
it can reuse it, so passing NULL as the username means the credential
callback is suspicious.
The username provided in the url is not in fact used by the
transport. The only time it even considers it is for the user/pass
credential, which asserts the existence of a username in its
constructor. For the ssh-specific ones, it passes in the username stored
in the credential, which is NULL. The libssh2 macro we use runs strlen()
against this value (which is no different from what we would be doing
ourselves), so we then crash.
As the documentation doesn't suggest to leave out the username, assert
the need for a username in the code, which removes this buggy behavior
and removes implicit state.
git_cred_has_username() becomes a blacklist of credential types that do
not have a username. The only one at the moment is the 'default' one,
which is meant to call up some Microsoft magic.
Now that our strmap is no longer modified but replaced, we can use the
same strmap for the snapshot's values and it will be freed when we don't
need it anymore.
When we delete an entry, we also want to refresh the configuration to
catch any changes that happened externally.
This allows us to simplify the logic, as we no longer need to delete
these variables internally. The whole state will be refreshed and the
deleted entries won't be there.
With the isolation of complex reads, we can now try to refresh the
on-disk file before reading a value from it.
This changes the semantics a bit, as before we could be sure that a
string we got from the configuration was valid until we wrote or
refreshed. This is no longer the case, as a read can also invalidate the
pointer.
Current code sets the active map to a new one and builds it whilst it's
active. This is a race condition with someone else trying to access the
same config.
Instead, let's build up our new map and swap the active and new one.
In order to have consistent views of the config files for remotes,
submodules et al. and a configuration that represents what is currently
stored on-disk, we need a way to provide a view of the configuration
that does not change.
The goal here is to provide the snapshotting part by creating a
read-only copy of the state of the configuration at a particular point
in time, which does not change when a repository's main config changes.
On set, we set/add the value written to the config's internal values,
but we do not refresh old values.
Document this in a test in preparation for the refresh changes.
The checks to see if files were out of date in the attibute cache
was wrong because the cache-breaker data wasn't getting stored
correctly. Additionally, when the cache-breaker triggered, the
old file data was being leaked.
I don't love this approach, but achieving thread-safety for
attribute and ignore data while reloading files would require a
larger rewrite in order to avoid this. If an attribute or ignore
file is out of date, this holds a lock on the file while we are
reloading the data so that another thread won't try to reload the
data at the same time.
In the threading tests, I was still seeing a race condition where
the same item could end up being inserted multiple times into the
index. Preserving the sorted-ness of the index outside of the
`index_insert` call fixes the issue.
