For most real use cases, repositories with alternates use them as main
object storage. Checking the alternate for objects before the main
repository should result in measurable speedups.
Because of this, we're changing the sorting algorithm to prioritize
alternates *in cases where two backends have the same priority*. This
means that the pack backend for the alternate will be checked before the
pack backend for the main repository *but* both of them will be checked
before any loose backends.
We moved the "main" parsing to use 64 bits for the timestamp, but the
quick parsing for the revwalk did not. This means that for large
timestamps we fail to parse the time and thus the walk.
Move this parser to use 64 bits as well.
xdiff craps the bed on large files. Treat very large files as binary,
so that it doesn't even have to try.
Refactor our merge binary handling to better match git.git, which
looks for a NUL in the first 8000 bytes.
As refdb and odb backends can be allocated by client code, libgit2
can’t know whether an alternative memory allocator was used, and thus
should not try to call `git__free` on those objects.
Instead, odb and refdb backend implementations must always provide
their own `free` functions to ensure memory gets freed correctly.
When we do not trust the on-disk mode, we use the mode of an existing
index entry. This allows us to preserve executable bits on platforms
that do not honor them on the filesystem.
If there is no stage 0 index entry, also look at conflicts to attempt
to answer this question: prefer the data from the 'ours' side, then
the 'theirs' side before falling back to the common ancestor.
git expects an empty line after the binary data:

The last literal block of the generated patches were not containing the required empty line. Example:

git apply of that diff results in:
error: corrupt binary patch at line 9: diff --git a/binary_file2 b/binary_file2
fatal: patch with only garbage at line 10
The proper formating is:

Test an initial submodule update, where we are trying to checkout
the submodule for the first time, and placing a file within the
submodule working directory with the same name as the submodule
(and consequently, the same name as the repository itself).
`git_futils_mkdir` does not blindly call `git_futils_mkdir_relative`.
`git_futils_mkdir_relative` is used when you have some base directory
and want to create some path inside of it, potentially removing blocking
symlinks and files in the process. This is not suitable for a general
recursive mkdir within the filesystem.
Instead, when `mkdir` is being recursive, locate the first existent
parent directory and use that as the base for `mkdir_relative`.
Untangle git_futils_mkdir from git_futils_mkdir_ext - the latter
assumes that we own everything beneath the base, as if it were
being called with a base of the repository or working directory,
and is tailored towards checkout and ensuring that there is no
bogosity beneath the base that must be cleaned up.
This is (at best) slow and (at worst) unsafe in the larger context
of a filesystem where we do not own things and cannot do things like
unlink symlinks that are in our way.
When a file exists on disk and we're checking out a file that differs
in executableness, remove the old file. This allows us to recreate the
new file with p_open, which will take the new mode into account and
handle setting the umask properly.
Remove any notion of chmod'ing existing files, since it is now handled
by the aforementioned removal and was incorrect, as it did not take
umask into account.
Ensure that we can iterate the filesystem root and that paths come
back well-formed, not with an additional '/'. (eg, when iterating
`c:/`, expect that we do not get some path like `c://autoexec.bat`).
The previous commit left the comment referencing the earlier state of
the code, change it to explain the current logic. While here, change the
logic to avoid repeating the copy of the base pattern.
These are small pieces of data, so there is no advantage to allocating
them separately. Include the two ids inline in the struct we use to
check that the expected and actual ids match.
On case insensitive platforms, allow `git_index_add` to provide a new
path for an existing index entry. Previously, we would maintain the
case in an index entry without the ability to change it (except by
removing an entry and re-adding it.)
Higher-level functions (like `git_index_add_bypath` and
`git_index_add_frombuffers`) continue to keep the old path for easier
usage.
