This was but down to 5 when GitHub made a change to their server which
made them stop honouring the include-tag request.
This has recently been corrected, so we can bring it back up to six.
When we rename a reference, we want the old and new ids to be the same
one (as we did not change it). The normal code path looks up the old id
from the current value of the brtanch, but by the time we look it up, it
does not exist anymore and thus we write a zero id.
Pass the old id explicitly instead.
Clear the error message on git_libgit2_shutdown for all versions of
the library (no threads and Win32 threads). Drop the giterr_clear
in clar, as that shouldn't be necessary.
This changes the get_entry() method to return a refcounted version of
the config entry, which you have to free when you're done.
This allows us to avoid freeing the memory in which the entry is stored
on a refresh, which may happen at any time for a live config.
For this reason, get_string() has been forbidden on live configs and a
new function get_string_buf() has been added, which stores the string in
a git_buf which the user then owns.
The functions which parse the string value takea advantage of the
borrowing to parse safely and then release the entry.
We want to use the "checkout: moving from ..." message in order to let
git know when a change of branch has happened. Make the convenience
functions for this goal write this message.
This namespace is about behaving like git's branch command, so let's do
exactly that instead of taking a reflog message.
This override is still available via the reference namespace.
The signature for the reflog is not something which changes
dynamically. Almost all uses will be NULL, since we want for the
repository's default identity to be used, making it noise.
In order to allow for changing the identity, we instead provide
git_repository_set_ident() and git_repository_ident() which allow a user
to override the choice of signature.
When the repository does not contain an index, emulate git's behavior
and upgrade to `SAFE_CREATE`. This allows us to check out repositories
created with `git clone --no-checkout`.
git_index_add_frombuffer enables now to store a memory buffer in the odb
and to store an entry in the index directly if the index is attached to a
repository.
Introduce GITTEST_INVASIVE_FS_STRUCTURE for things that are invasive
to your filesystem structure (like creating folders at your filesystem
root) and GITTEST_INVASIVE_FS_SIZE for things that write lots of data.
Always lock the index when we begin the merge, before we write
any of the metdata files. This prevents a race where another
client may run a commit after we have written the MERGE_HEAD but
before we have updated the index, which will produce a merge
commit that is treesame to one parent. The merge will finish and
update the index and the resultant commit would not be a merge at
all.
Introduce `git_indexwriter`, to allow us to lock the index while
performing additional operations, then complete the write (or abort,
unlocking the index).
