This improves docs in some of the public header files, cleans
up and improves some of the example code, and fixes a couple
of pedantic warnings in places.
To answer if a single given file should be ignored, the path to
that file has to be processed progressively checking that there
are no intermediate ignored directories in getting to the file
in question. This enables that, fixing the broken old behavior,
and adds tests to exercise various ignore situations.
When I wrote the diff code, I based it on core git's diff output
which tends to split a type change into an add and a delete. But
core git's status has the notion of a T (typechange) flag for a
file. This introduces that into our status APIs and modifies the
diff code so it can be forced to not split type changes.
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.
File modes were both not being ignored properly on platforms
where they should be ignored, nor be diffed consistently on
platforms where they are supported.
This change adds a number of diff and status filemode change
tests. This also makes sure that filemode-only changes are
included in the diff output when they occur and that filemode
changes are ignored successfully when core.filemode is false.
There is no code that automatically toggles core.filemode
based on the capabilities of the current platform, so the user
still needs to be careful in their .git/config file.
The goal of this work is to rewrite git_status_file to use the
same underlying code as git_status_foreach.
This is done in 3 phases:
1. Extend iterators to allow ranged iteration with start and
end prefixes for the range of file names to be covered.
2. Improve diff so that when there is a pathspec and there is
a common non-wildcard prefix of the pathspec, it will use
ranged iterators to minimize excess iteration.
3. Rewrite git_status_file to call git_status_foreach_ext
with a pathspec that covers just the one file being checked.
Since ranged iterators underlie the status & diff implementation,
this is actually fairly efficient. The workdir iterator does
end up loading the contents of all the directories down to the
single file, which should ideally be avoided, but it is pretty
good.
This makes the git attributes and git ignores cache check
stat information before using the file contents from the
cache. For cached files from the index, it checks the SHA
of the file instead. This should reduce the need to ever
call `git_attr_cache_flush()` in most situations.
This commit also fixes the `git_status_should_ignore` API
to use the libgit2 standard parameter ordering.
This fixes the bug that @nulltoken found (thank you!) where
if there were untracked directories alphabetically after the
last tracked item, the diff implementation would deref a NULL
pointer.
The fix involved the code which decides if it is necessary
to recurse into a directory in the working dir, so it was
easy to add a new option `GIT_STATUS_OPT_RECURSE_UNTRACKED_DIRS`
to control if the contents of untracked directories should be
included in status.
This adds support for roughly-right tracking of submodules
(although it does not recurse into submodules to detect
internal modifications a la core git), and it adds support
for including unmodified files in diff iteration if requested.
This is a work in progress. This adds two new sets of tests,
the issue_592 tests from @nulltoken's pull request #601 and
some new tests for submodules. The submodule tests still have
issues where the status is not reported correctly. That needs
to be fixed before merge.
This reverts the changes to the GIT_STATUS constants and adds a
new enumeration to describe the type of change in a git_diff_delta.
I don't love this solution, but it should prevent strange errors
from occurring for now. Eventually, I would like to unify the
various status constants, but it needs a larger plan and I just
wanted to eliminate this breakage quickly.
This is a major reorganization of the diff code. This changes
the diff functions to use the iterators for traversing the
content. This allowed a lot of code to be simplified. Also,
this moved the functions relating to outputting a diff into a
new file (diff_output.c).
This includes a number of other changes - adding utility
functions, extending iterators, etc. plus more tests for the
diff code. This also takes the example diff.c program much
further in terms of emulating git-diff command line options.
After reviewing the gitignore support with Vicent, we came up
with a list of minor cleanups to prepare for merge, including:
* checking git_repository_config error returns
* renaming git_ignore_is_ignored and moving to status.h
* fixing next_line skipping to include \r skips
* commenting on where ignores are and are not included
Adds support for .gitignore files to git_status_foreach() and
git_status_file(). This includes refactoring the gitattributes
code to share logic where possible. The GIT_STATUS_IGNORED flag
will now be passed in for files that are ignored (provided they
are not already in the index or the head of repo).
There were quite a few places were spaces were being used instead of
tabs. Try to catch them all. This should hopefully not break anything.
Except for `git blame`. Oh well.
1. The license header is technically not valid if it doesn't have a
copyright signature.
2. The COPYING file has been updated with the different licenses used in
the project.
3. The full GPLv2 header in each file annoys me.
The `hashfile` function has been moved to ODB, next to `git_odb_hash`.
Global state has been removed from the dirent call in `status.c`,
because global state is killing the rainforest and causing global
warming.
Add git_status_hashfile() to get blob's object id for a file without adding
it to the object database or needing a repository at all.
This functionality is similar to `git hash-object` without '-w'.
