This fixes two bugs: * Issue #728 where git_status_file was not working for files that contain spaces. This was caused by reusing the "fnmatch" parsing code from ignore and attribute files to interpret the "pathspec" that constrained the files to apply the status to. In that code, unescaped whitespace was considered terminal to the pattern, so a file with internal whitespace was excluded from the matched files. The fix was to add a mode to that code that allows spaces and tabs inside patterns. This mode only comes into play when parsing in-memory strings. * The other issue was undetected, but it was in the recently added code to reload gitattributes / gitignores when they were changed on disk. That code was not clearing out the old values from the cached file content before reparsing which meant that newly added patterns would be read in, but deleted patterns would not be removed. The fix was to clear the vector of patterns in a cached file before reparsing the file. |

libgit2 - the Git linkable library
libgit2 is a portable, pure C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a re-entrant linkable library with a solid API, allowing you to write native speed custom Git applications in any language with bindings.
libgit2 is licensed under a very permissive license (GPLv2 with a special Linking Exception). This basically means that you can link it (unmodified) with any kind of software without having to release its source code.
- Mailing list: libgit2@librelist.org
- Archives: http://librelist.com/browser/libgit2/
- Website: http://libgit2.github.com
- API documentation: http://libgit2.github.com/libgit2
- Usage guide: http://libgit2.github.com/api.html
What It Can Do
libgit2 is already very usable.
- SHA conversions, formatting and shortening
- abstracted ODB backend system
- commit, tag, tree and blob parsing, editing, and write-back
- tree traversal
- revision walking
- index file (staging area) manipulation
- reference management (including packed references)
- config file management
- high level repository management
- thread safety and reentrancy
- descriptive and detailed error messages
- ...and more (over 175 different API calls)
Building libgit2 - Using CMake
libgit2 builds cleanly on most platforms without any external dependencies.
Under Unix-like systems, like Linux, *BSD and Mac OS X, libgit2 expects pthreads to be available;
they should be installed by default on all systems. Under Windows, libgit2 uses the native Windows API
for threading.
The libgit2 library is built using CMake 2.6+ (http://www.cmake.org) on all platforms.
On most systems you can build the library using the following commands
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ cmake --build .
Alternatively you can point the CMake GUI tool to the CMakeLists.txt file and generate platform specific build project or IDE workspace.
To install the library you can specify the install prefix by setting:
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/install/prefix
$ cmake --build . --target install
If you want to build a universal binary for Mac OS X, CMake sets it
all up for you if you use -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="i386;x86_64"
when configuring.
For more advanced use or questions about CMake please read http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ.
The following CMake variables are declared:
INSTALL_BIN: Where to install binaries to.INSTALL_LIB: Where to install libraries to.INSTALL_INC: Where to install headers to.BUILD_SHARED_LIBS: Build libgit2 as a Shared Library (defaults to ON)BUILD_CLAR: Build Clar-based test suite (defaults to ON)THREADSAFE: Build libgit2 with threading support (defaults to OFF)
