Core git just looks for NUL bytes in files when deciding about
is-binary inside diff (although it uses a better algorithm in
checkout, when deciding if CRLF conversion should be done).
Libgit2 was using the better algorithm in both places, but that
is causing some confusion. For now, this makes diff just look
for NUL bytes to decide if a file is binary by content in diff.
This was just wrong. Added a test that verifying patch line
numbers even for hunks further into a file and then fixed the
algorithm. I needed to add a little extra state into the patch
so that I could track old and new file numbers independently,
but it should be okay.
Many delta bases are re-used. Cache them to avoid inflating the same
data repeatedly.
This version doesn't limit the amount of entries to store, so it can
end up using a considerable amound of memory.
This adds an option to checkout a la the diff option to turn off
fnmatch evaluation for pathspec entries. This can be useful to
make sure your "pattern" in really interpretted as an exact file
match only.
All the ODB backends have a specific refresh interface. When reading an
object, first we attempt every single backend: if the read fails, then
we refresh all the backends and retry the read one more time to see if
the object has appeared.
It is not legal inside our `p_mmap` function to mmap a zero length
file. This adds a test that exercises that case inside diff and
fixes the code path where we would try to do that.
The fix turns out not to be a lot of code since our default file
content is already initialized to "" which works in this case.
Fixes#1210
This moves the implementation of these two APIs into common code
that will be shared between the two. Also, this adds tests for
the `git_diff_blob_to_buffer` API. Lastly, this adds some extra
`const` to a few places that can use it.
Before this, we error out from `reference_matches_remote_head` if the
reference we're searching for does not exist.
Since we explicitly check if master is existing in `update_head_to_remote`
and error out if it doesn't, a repository without master branch could
not be cloned.
In fact this was later clobbered by what is fixed in #1194.
However, this patch introduces a `found` member in `head_info` and sets
it accordingly. That also saves us from checking the string length of
`branchname` a few times.
As a function that appears to only be called on error paths, I don't
think it makes sense for it to return an error, or clobber the global
giterr. Note that no existing callsites actually check the return
code.
In my own application, there are errors where the real error ends
up being hidden, as git_mwindow_file_deregister() clobbers the
global giterr. I'm not sure this error is even relevant?
