A symref inside the namespace gets renamed, we should make it point to
the target's new name.
This is for the origin/HEAD -> origin/master type of situations.
There is no reason why we need to use a callback here. A string array
fits better with the usage, as this is not an event and we don't need
anything from the user.
We must make sure that the name pointer remains valid, so make sure to
allocate the new one before freeing the old one and swap them so the
user never sees an invalid pointer.
We don't allow renames of anonymous remotes, so there's no need to
handle them.
A remote is always associated with a repository, so there's no need to
check for that.
Tighten up which references we consider for renaming so we don't try to
rename unrelated ones and end up with unexplained references.
If there is a reference on the target namespace, git overwrites it, so
let's do the same.
When renaming a lock file to its final location, we need to make sure
that it is replaced atomically.
We currently have a workaround for Windows by removing the target file.
This means that the target file, which may be a ref or a packfile, may
cease to exist for a short wile, which shold be avoided.
Implement the workaround only in Windows, by making sure that the file
we want to replace is writable.
Whe already worked out the kinks with the function used in the local
transport. Expose it and make use of it in the local clone method
instead of trying to work it out again.
The documentation has shown this as a single enum for a long time. These
should in fact be two enums. One with the bits for the flags and another
with the bits for the extended flags.
When removing the remote-tracking branches, build up the list and remove
in two steps, working around an issue with the iterator. Removing while
we're iterating over the refs can cause us to miss references.
Inside `git_remote_load`, the calls to `get_optional_config` use
`giterr_clear` to unset any errors that are set due to missing config
keys. If neither a fetch nor a push url config was found for a remote,
we should set an error again.
This adds another assertion to ensure that the reference name inside
the git_reference struct returned by `git_branch_create` is returned as
precomposed if `core.precomposeunicode` is enabled.
This fixes two issues I found when core.precomposeunicode is enabled:
* When creating a reference with a NFD string, the returned
git_reference would return this NFD string as the reference’s
name. But when looking up the reference later, the name would
then be returned as NFC string.
* Renaming a reference would not honor the core.precomposeunicode and
apply no normalization to the new reference name.
