This adds the ability for checkout to write to a target directory
instead of having to use the working directory of the repository.
This makes it easier to do exports of repository data and the like.
This is similar to, but not quite the same as, the --prefix option
to `git checkout-index` (this will always be treated as a directory
name, not just as a simple text prefix).
As part of this, the workdir iterator was extended to take the
path to the working directory as a parameter and fallback on the
git_repository_workdir result only if it's not specified.
Fixes#1332
This is a significant reorganization of the diff code to break it
into a set of more clearly distinct files and to document the new
organization. Hopefully this will make the diff code easier to
understand and to extend.
This adds a new `git_diff_driver` object that looks of diff driver
information from the attributes and the config so that things like
function content in diff headers can be provided. The full driver
spec is not implemented in the commit - this is focused on the
reorganization of the code and putting the driver hooks in place.
This also removes a few #includes from src/repository.h that were
overbroad, but as a result required extra #includes in a variety
of places since including src/repository.h no longer results in
pulling in the whole world.
This fixes of the file contents checks in checkout to give
slightly better error messages by directly calling the underlying
clar assertions so the file and line number of the top level call
can be reported correctly, and renames the helpers to not start
with "test_" since that is kind of reserved by clar.
This also enables some of the CRLF tests on all platforms that
were previously Windows only (by pushing a check of the native
line endings into the test body).
This fixes some places where the new tests were leaving the test
area in a bad state or were freeing data they should not free.
It also removes code that is extraneous to the core issue and
fixes an invalid SHA being looked up in one of the tests (which
was failing, but for the wrong reason).
This adds a helper function for the cases where you want to
quickly set a single boolean config value for a repository.
This allowed me to remove a lot of code.
It turns out that using REMOVE_UNTRACKED with checkout for this
particular test was causing the .gitattributes file to be removed
and so we do have to allow for the CRs in the created file...
There are a couple of checkout bugs fixed here. One is with
untracked working directory entries that are prefixes of tree
entries but not in a meaningful way (i.e. "read" is a prefix of
"readme.txt" but doesn't interfere in any way). The second bug
is actually a redo of 07edfa0fc640f85f95507c3101e77accd7d2bf0d
where directory entries in the index that are not in the diff
were not being removed correctly. That fix remedied one case
but broke another.
This flips checkout back to be driven off the changes between
the baseline and the target trees. This reinstates the complex
code for tracking the contents of the working directory, but
overall, I think the resulting logic is easier to follow.
I've tried to map out the detailed behaviors of checkout and make
sure that we're handling the various cases correctly, along with
providing options to allow us to emulate "git checkout" and "git
checkout-index" with the various flags. I've thrown away flags
in the checkout API that seemed like clutter and added some new
ones. Also, I've converted the conflict callback to a general
notification callback so we can emulate "git checkout" output and
display "dirty" files.
As of this commit, the new behavior is not working 100% but some
of that is probably baked into tests that are not testing the
right thing. This is a decent snapshot point, I think, along the
way to getting the update done.
A number of diff APIs and the `git_checkout_index` API take a
`git_repository` object an operate on the index. This updates
them to take a `git_index` pointer explicitly and only fall back
on the `git_repository` index if the index input is NULL. This
makes it easier to operate on a temporary index.
This is a major reworking of checkout strategy options. The
checkout code is now sensitive to the contents of the HEAD tree
and the new options allow you to update the working tree so that
it will match the index content only when it previously matched
the contents of the HEAD. This allows you to, for example, to
distinguish between removing files that are in the HEAD but not
in the index, vs just removing all untracked files.
Because of various corner cases that arise, etc., this required
some additional capabilities in rmdir and other utility functions.
This includes the beginnings of an implementation of code to read
a partial tree into the index based on a pathspec, but that is
not enabled because of the possibility of creating conflicting
index entries.
So, @nulltoken created a failing test case for checkout that
proved to be particularly daunting. If checkout is given only
a very limited strategy mask (e.g. just GIT_CHECKOUT_CREATE_MISSING)
then it is possible for typechange/rename modifications to leave it
unable to complete the request. That's okay, but the existing code
did not have enough information not to generate an error (at least
for tree/blob conflicts).
This led me to a significant reorganization of the code to handle
the failing case, but it has three benefits:
1. The test case is handled correctly (I think)
2. The new code should actually be much faster than the old code
since I decided to make checkout aware of diff list internals.
3. The progress value accuracy is hugely increased since I added
a fourth pass which calculates exactly what work needs to be
done before doing anything.
git_index_read_tree() was exposing a parameter to provide the user with
a progress indicator. Unfortunately, due to the recursive nature of the
tree walk, the maximum number of items to process was unknown. Thus,
the indicator was only counting processed entries, without providing
any information how the number of remaining items.
