Cleaned up the structure of the whole OS-abstraction layer.
fileops.c now contains a set of utility methods for file management used
by the library. These are abstractions on top of the original POSIX
calls.
There's a new file called `posix.c` that contains
emulations/reimplementations of all the POSIX calls the library uses.
These are prefixed with `p_`. There's a specific posix file for each
platform (win32 and unix).
All the path-related methods have been moved from `utils.c` to `path.c`
and have their own prefix.
Handle Symlinks if they can be handled in Win32. This is not even
compiled. Needs review.
The lstat implementation is modified from core Git.
The readlink implementation is modified from PHP.
When calling gitfo_exists() on a symbolic link, sometimes we need to
simply check whether the link exists and sometimes we need to check
whether the file pointed to by the symlink exists.
Introduce a new function gitfo_shallow_exists that only checks if the
link exists and revert gitfo_exists to the original functionality of
checking whether the file pointed to by the link exists.
gitfo_exists() used to error out if the given file was a symbolic link,
due to access() returning an error code. This is not expected behaviour,
as gitfo_exists() should only check whether the file itself exists, not
its link target if it is a symbolic link.
Fix this by calling gitfo_lstat() instead, which is just a wrapper for
lstat().
Also fix the same error in index_init_entry().
retrieve_device returns the file device for a given path (so that we can detect device change while walking through parent directories).
abspath returns a canonicalized path, symbolic link free.
retrieive_ceiling_directories_offset returns the biggest path offset that path match in the ceiling directory list (so that we can stop at ceiling directories).
Temporary files when doing streaming writes are now stored inside the
Objects folder, to prevent issues when moving files between
disks/partitions.
Add support for block writes to the ODB again (for those backends that
cannot implement streaming).
When the system temporary folder is located on a different volume than the working directory into which libgit2 is executing, MoveFileEx() requires an additional flag.
Hey. Apologies in advance -- I broke your bindings.
This is a major commit that includes a long-overdue redesign of the
whole object-database structure. This is expected to be the last major
external API redesign of the library until the first non-alpha release.
Please get your bindings up to date with these changes. They will be
included in the next minor release. Sorry again!
Major features include:
- Real caching and refcounting on parsed objects
- Real caching and refcounting on objects read from the ODB
- Streaming writes & reads from the ODB
- Single-method writes for all object types
- The external API is now partially thread-safe
The speed increases are significant in all aspects, specially when
reading an object several times from the ODB (revwalking) and when
writing big objects to the ODB.
Here's a full changelog for the external API:
blob.h
------
- Remove `git_blob_new`
- Remove `git_blob_set_rawcontent`
- Remove `git_blob_set_rawcontent_fromfile`
- Rename `git_blob_writefile` -> `git_blob_create_fromfile`
- Change `git_blob_create_fromfile`:
The `path` argument is now relative to the repository's working dir
- Add `git_blob_create_frombuffer`
commit.h
--------
- Remove `git_commit_new`
- Remove `git_commit_add_parent`
- Remove `git_commit_set_message`
- Remove `git_commit_set_committer`
- Remove `git_commit_set_author`
- Remove `git_commit_set_tree`
- Add `git_commit_create`
- Add `git_commit_create_v`
- Add `git_commit_create_o`
- Add `git_commit_create_ov`
tag.h
-----
- Remove `git_tag_new`
- Remove `git_tag_set_target`
- Remove `git_tag_set_name`
- Remove `git_tag_set_tagger`
- Remove `git_tag_set_message`
- Add `git_tag_create`
- Add `git_tag_create_o`
tree.h
------
- Change `git_tree_entry_2object`:
New signature is `(git_object **object_out, git_repository *repo, git_tree_entry *entry)`
- Remove `git_tree_new`
- Remove `git_tree_add_entry`
- Remove `git_tree_remove_entry_byindex`
- Remove `git_tree_remove_entry_byname`
- Remove `git_tree_clearentries`
- Remove `git_tree_entry_set_id`
- Remove `git_tree_entry_set_name`
- Remove `git_tree_entry_set_attributes`
object.h
------------
- Remove `git_object_new
- Remove `git_object_write`
- Change `git_object_close`:
This method is now *mandatory*. Not closing an object causes a
memory leak.
odb.h
-----
- Remove type `git_rawobj`
- Remove `git_rawobj_close`
- Rename `git_rawobj_hash` -> `git_odb_hash`
- Change `git_odb_hash`:
New signature is `(git_oid *id, const void *data, size_t len, git_otype type)`
- Add type `git_odb_object`
- Add `git_odb_object_close`
- Change `git_odb_read`:
New signature is `(git_odb_object **out, git_odb *db, const git_oid *id)`
- Change `git_odb_read_header`:
New signature is `(size_t *len_p, git_otype *type_p, git_odb *db, const git_oid *id)`
- Remove `git_odb_write`
- Add `git_odb_open_wstream`
- Add `git_odb_open_rstream`
odb_backend.h
-------------
- Change type `git_odb_backend`:
New internal signatures are as follows
int (* read)(void **, size_t *, git_otype *, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *)
int (* read_header)(size_t *, git_otype *, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *)
int (* writestream)(struct git_odb_stream **, struct git_odb_backend *, size_t, git_otype)
int (* readstream)( struct git_odb_stream **, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *)
- Add type `git_odb_stream`
- Add enum `git_odb_streammode`

We now use MoveFileEx, which is not assured to be atomic but works for
always (both if the destination exists, or if it doesn't) and is
available in MinGW.
Since this is a Win32 API call, complaint about lost or overwritten files
should be forwarded at Steve Ballmer.

The `rename` call doesn't quite work on Win32: expects the destination
file to not exist. We're using a native Win32 call in those cases --
that should do the trick.

Clean up a provided absolute or relative directory path.
This prettification relies on basic operations such as coalescing multiple forward slashes into a single slash, removing '.' and './' current directory segments, and removing parent directory whenever '..' is encountered. If not empty, the returned path ends with a forward slash.
For instance, this will turn "d1/s1///s2/..//../s3" into "d1/s3/".
This only performs a string based analysis of the path. No checks are done to make sure the path actually makes sense from the file system perspective.
