We want to use the "checkout: moving from ..." message in order to let
git know when a change of branch has happened. Make the convenience
functions for this goal write this message.
This namespace is about behaving like git's branch command, so let's do
exactly that instead of taking a reflog message.
This override is still available via the reference namespace.
The signature for the reflog is not something which changes
dynamically. Almost all uses will be NULL, since we want for the
repository's default identity to be used, making it noise.
In order to allow for changing the identity, we instead provide
git_repository_set_ident() and git_repository_ident() which allow a user
to override the choice of signature.
Win32 DLLs have four fields for the version number (major, minor,
teeny, patch). If a consumer wants to build a custom DLL, it may
be useful to set the patchlevel version number in the DLL.
This value only affects the DLL version number, it does not affect
the resultant "version number", which remains major.minor.teeny.
Windows headers #define some names that openssl uses too. Openssl
headers #undef the offending names before reusing them. But if those
offending Windows headers get included after the openssl headers the
namespace is polluted and nothing good happens.
Fixes issue #2850.
When the repository does not contain an index, emulate git's behavior
and upgrade to `SAFE_CREATE`. This allows us to check out repositories
created with `git clone --no-checkout`.
A repository can have multiple "reserved names" now, not just
a single "short name" for the repository folder itself. Refactor
to include a git_repository__reserved_names that returns all the
reserved names for a repository.
git_index_add_frombuffer enables now to store a memory buffer in the odb
and to store an entry in the index directly if the index is attached to a
repository.
Introduce GITTEST_INVASIVE_FS_STRUCTURE for things that are invasive
to your filesystem structure (like creating folders at your filesystem
root) and GITTEST_INVASIVE_FS_SIZE for things that write lots of data.
Provide a convenience function that creates a buffer that can be provided
to callers but will not be freed via `git_buf_free`, so the buffer
creator maintains the allocation lifecycle of the buffer's contents.
