This started as a complex new test for checkout going through the
"typechanges" test repository, but that revealed numerous issues
with checkout, including:
* complete failure with submodules
* failure to create blobs with exec bits
* problems when replacing a tree with a blob because the tree
"example/" sorts after the blob "example" so the delete was
being processed after the single file blob was created
This fixes most of those problems and includes a number of other
minor changes that made it easier to do that, including improving
the TYPECHANGE support in diff/status, etc.
This patch changes the tag listing test helper to use a struct as input
parameter, which tells what we exactly expect.
As I don't think, we can rely on the fact that every os and every
filesystem will report the tags in the same order, I made this code
independent of the order that the tags are retrieved.
This expands the types of peeling that `git_object_peel` knows
how to do to include TAG -> BLOB peeling, and makes the errors
slightly more consistent depending on the situation. It also
adds a new special behavior where peeling to ANY will peel until
the object type changes (e.g. chases TAGs to a non-TAG).
Using this expanded peeling, this replaces peeling code that was
embedded in `git_tag_peel` and `git_reset`.
If you want to be absolutely safe with git_message_prettify, you
can now pass a NULL pointer for the buffer and get back the number
of bytes that would be copied into the buffer.
This means that an error is a non-negative return code and a
success will be greater than zero from this function.
git_commit() and git_tag() no longer prettify the
message by default. This has to be taken care of
by the caller.
This has the nice side effect of putting the
caller in position to actually choose to strip
the comments or not.
This fix complements cb0ce16bbe and cover the following additional use cases
- retrieving an object which has been previously searched, found and cached
- retrieving an object through an non ambiguous abbreviated id
'git commit' and 'git tag -a' enforce some conventions, like cleaning up excess whitespace and making sure that the last line ends with a '\n'. This fix replicates this behavior.
