Edward Thomson 52e27b84 2018-10-10T12:42:54 reader: free is unused and unnecessary None of the reader implementations actually allocate anything themselves, so they don't need a free function. Remove it.
Edward Thomson 6fecf4d1 2018-11-04T11:47:46 apply: handle exact renames Deltas containing exact renames are special; they simple indicate that a file was renamed without providing additional metadata (like the filemode). Teach the reader to provide the file mode and use the preimage's filemode in the case that the delta does not provide one.)
Edward Thomson 0f4b2f02 2018-07-01T15:13:50 reader: optionally validate index matches workdir When using a workdir reader, optionally validate that the index contents match the working directory contents.
Edward Thomson 5b8d5a22 2018-07-01T13:42:53 apply: use preimage as the checkout baseline Use the preimage as the checkout's baseline. This allows us to support applying patches to files that are modified in the working directory (those that differ from the HEAD and index). Without this, files will be reported as (checkout) conflicts. With this, we expect the on-disk data when we began the patch application (the "preimage") to be on-disk during checkout. We could have also simply used the `FORCE` flag to checkout to accomplish a similar mechanism. However, `FORCE` ignores all differences, while providing a preimage ensures that we will only overwrite the file contents that we actually read. Modify the reader interface to provide the OID to support this.
Edward Thomson d73043a2 2018-03-19T20:10:31 reader: a generic way to read files from repos Similar to the `git_iterator` interface, the `git_reader` interface will allow us to read file contents from an arbitrary repository-backed data source (trees, index, or working directory).
