This adds `git_diff_buffers` and `git_patch_from_buffers`. This
also includes a bunch of internal refactoring to increase the
shared code between these functions and the blob-to-blob and
blob-to-buffer APIs, as well as some higher level assert helpers
in the tests to also remove redundancy.
* Make GIT_INLINE an internal definition so it cannot be used in
public headers
* Fix language in CONTRIBUTING
* Make index caps API use signed instead of unsigned values
On some systems, notably HP PA-RISC systems running Linux or HP-UX,
EWOULDBLOCK and EAGAIN are not the same value. POSIX (and these OSes) allow
EWOULDBLOCK to occur on write(2) (and send(2), etc.), so check explicitly
for this case as well as EAGAIN by defining and using a macro GIT_ISBLOCKED
that considers both.
The macro is necessary because MSYS does not provide EWOULDBLOCK and
compilation fails if an attempt is made to use it unconditionally. On most
systems, where the two values are the same, the compiler will simply
optimize this check out and it will have no effect.
This adds an API to amend an existing commit, basically a shorthand
for creating a new commit filling in missing parameters from the
values of an existing commit. As part of this, I also added a new
"sys" API to create a commit using a callback to get the parents.
This allowed me to rewrite all the other commit creation APIs so
that temporary allocations are no longer needed.
This fixes a number of warnings with the Windows 64-bit build
including a test failure in test_repo_message__message where an
invalid pointer to a git_buf was being used.
We need this from util.h and posix.h, but the latter includes common.h
which includes util.h, which means p_strlen is not defined by the time
we get to git__strndup().
Split the definition on p_strlen() off into its own header so we can use
it in util.h.
The current code issues a lot of strncmp() calls in order to check for
the end of the header, simply in order to copy it and start going
through it again. These are a lot of calls for something we can check as
we go along. Knowing the amount of parents beforehand to reduce
allocations in extreme cases does not make up for them.
Instead start parsing immediately and check for the double-newline after
each header field, leaving the raw_header allocation for the end, which
lets us go through the header once and reduces the amount of strncmp()
calls significantly.
In unscientific testing, this has reduced a shortlog-like usage (walking
though the whole history of a branch and extracting data from the
commits) of git.git from ~830ms to ~700ms and makes the time we spend in
strncmp() negligible.
Let the user push committish objects and peel them to figure out which
commit to push to our queue.
This is for convenience and for allowing uses of
git_revwalk_push_glob(w, "tags")
with annotated tags.
