* Move the transport registration mechanisms into a new header under
'sys/' because this is advanced stuff.
* Remove the 'priority' argument from the registration as it adds
unnecessary complexity. (Since transports cannot decline to operate,
only the highest priority transport is ever executed.) Users who
require per-priority transports can implement that in their custom
transport themselves.
* Simplify registration further by taking a scheme (eg "http") instead
of a prefix (eg "http://").
In the check for multiline, we traverse the backslashes from the end
backwards and int the end assert that we haven't gone past the beginning
of the line. We make sure of this in the loop condition, but we also
check in the return value.
However, for certain configurations, a line in a multiline variable
might be empty to aid formatting. In that case, 'end' == 'start', since
we ended up looking at the first char which made it a multiline.
There is no need for the (end > start) check in the return, since the
loop guarantees we won't go further back than the first char in the
line, and we do accept the first char to be the final backslash.
This fixes#2483.
* Removes mingw-compat.h
* Cleans up separation of compiler/platform idiosyncrasies
* Unifies mingw/msvc stat structures and functions
* (Tries to) hide more compiler specific implementation details (even in our internal API)
This works around strict aliasing rules letting some versions of
GCC (particularly on RHEL 6) thinking that they can skip updating the
size of the array when calculating the next element's offset.
Preallocating two commits doesn't make much sense as leaving allocation
to the first array usage will allocate a sensible size with room for
growth.
This preallocation has also been hiding issues with strict aliasing in
the tests, as we have fairly simple histories and never trigger the
growth.
git allows you to set which paths to use for the git server programs
when connecting over ssh; and we want to provide something similar.
We do this by providing a factory function which can be set as the
remote's transport callback which will set the given paths upon
creation.
