buddyspike a7b4b639 2019-08-24T12:14:31 ignore: correct handling of nested rules overriding wild card unignore problem: filesystem_iterator loads .gitignore files in top-down order. subsequently, ignore module evaluates them in the order they are loaded. this creates a problem if we have unignored a rule (using a wild card) in a sub dir and ignored it again in a level further below (see the test included in this patch). solution: process ignores in reverse order. closes #4963

Patrick Steinhardt 658022c4 2019-07-18T13:53:41 configuration: cvar -> configmap `cvar` is an unhelpful name. Refactor its usage to `configmap` for more clarity.
Patrick Steinhardt 6f6340af 2019-07-18T11:57:55 ignore: fix determining whether a shorter pattern negates another When computing whether we need to store a negative pattern, we iterate through all previously known patterns and check whether the negative pattern undoes any of the previous ones. In doing so we call `wildmatch` and check it's return for any negative error values. If there was a negative return, we will abort and bubble up that error to the caller. In fact, this check for negative values stems from the time where we still used `fnmatch` instead of `wildmatch`. For `fnmatch`, negative values indicate a "real" error, while for `wildmatch` a negative value may be returned if the matching was prematurely aborted. A premature abort may for example also happen if the pattern matches a prefix of the haystack if the pattern is shorter. Returning an error in that case is the wrong thing to do. Fix the code to compare for equality with `WM_MATCH`, only. Negative values returned by `wildmatch` are perfectly fine and thus should be ignored. Add a test that verifies we do not see the error.
Patrick Steinhardt f8346905 2019-07-12T09:03:33 attr_file: ignore macros defined in subdirectories Right now, we are unconditionally applying all macros found in a gitatttributes file. But quoting gitattributes(5): Custom macro attributes can be defined only in top-level gitattributes files ($GIT_DIR/info/attributes, the .gitattributes file at the top level of the working tree, or the global or system-wide gitattributes files), not in .gitattributes files in working tree subdirectories. The built-in macro attribute "binary" is equivalent to: So gitattribute files in subdirectories of the working tree may explicitly _not_ contain macro definitions, but we do not currently enforce this limitation. This patch introduces a new parameter to the gitattributes parser that tells whether macros are allowed in the current file or not. If set to `false`, we will still parse macros, but silently ignore them instead of adding them to the list of defined macros. Update all callers to correctly determine whether the to-be-parsed file may contain macros or not. Most importantly, when walking up the directory hierarchy, we will only set it to `true` once it reaches the root directory of the repo itself. Add a test that verifies that we are indeed not applying macros from subdirectories. Previous to these changes, the test would've failed.
Etienne Samson b883d370 2019-06-26T14:49:30 ignore: fix a missing commondir causing failures As with the preceding commit, the ignore code tries to load code from info/exclude, and we fail to ignore a non-existent file here.
Patrick Steinhardt 05f9986a 2019-06-14T08:06:05 attr_file: convert to use `wildmatch` Upstream git has converted to use `wildmatch` instead of `fnmatch`. Convert our gitattributes logic to use `wildmatch` as the last user of `fnmatch`. Please, don't expect I know what I'm doing here: the fnmatch parser is one of the most fun things to play around with as it has a sh*tload of weird cases. In all honesty, I'm simply relying on our tests that are by now rather comprehensive in that area. The conversion actually fixes compatibility with how git.git parser "**" patterns when the given path does not contain any directory separators. Previously, a pattern "**.foo" erroneously wouldn't match a file "x.foo", while git.git would match. Remove the new-unused LEADINGDIR/NOLEADINGDIR flags for `git_attr_fnmatch`.
Patrick Steinhardt de70bb46 2019-06-13T15:27:22 global: convert trivial `fnmatch` users to use `wildcard` Upstream git.git has converted its codebase to use wildcard in favor of fnmatch in commit 70a8fc999d (stop using fnmatch (either native or compat), 2014-02-15). To keep our own regex-matching in line with what git does, convert all trivial instances of `fnmatch` usage to use `wildcard`, instead. Trivial usage is defined to be use of `fnmatch` with either no flags or flags that have a 1:1 equivalent in wildmatch (PATHNAME, IGNORECASE).
Patrick Steinhardt 9d117e20 2019-04-05T10:22:46 ignore: treat paths with trailing "/" as directories The function `git_ignore_path_is_ignored` is there to test the ignore status of paths that need not necessarily exist inside of a repository. This has the implication that for a given path, we cannot always decide whether it references a directory or a file, and we need to distinguish those cases because ignore rules may treat those differently. E.g. given the following gitignore file: * !/**/ we'd only want to unignore directories, while keeping files ignored. But still, calling `git_ignore_path_is_ignored("dir/")` will say that this directory is ignored because it treats "dir/" as a file path. As said, the `is_ignored` function cannot always decide whether the given path is a file or directory, and thus it may produce wrong results in some cases. While this is unfixable in the general case, we can do better when we are being passed a path name with a trailing path separator (e.g. "dir/") and always treat them as directories.

Patrick Steinhardt d22fd81c 2018-06-05T16:46:07 ignore: remove now-useless check for LEADINGDIR When checking whether a rule negates another rule, we were checking whether a rule had the `GIT_ATTR_FNMATCH_LEADINGDIR` flag set and, if so, added a "/*" to its end before passing it to `fnmatch`. Our code now sets `GIT_ATTR_FNMATCH_NOLEADINGDIR`, thus the `LEADINGDIR` flag shall never be set. Furthermore, due to the `NOLEADINGDIR` flag, trailing globs do not get consumed by our ignore parser anymore. Clean up code by just dropping this now useless logic.
Patrick Steinhardt 20b4c175 2018-06-05T16:12:58 ignore: fix negative leading directory rules unignoring subdirectory files When computing whether a file is ignored, we simply search for the first matching rule and return whether it is a positive ignore rule (the file is really ignored) or whether it is a negative ignore rule (the file is being unignored). Each rule has a set of flags which are being passed to `fnmatch`, depending on what kind of rule it is. E.g. in case it is a negative ignore we add a flag `GIT_ATTR_FNMATCH_NEGATIVE`, in case it contains a glob we set the `GIT_ATTR_FNMATCH_HASGLOB` flag. One of these flags is the `GIT_ATTR_FNMATCH_LEADINGDIR` flag, which is always set in case the pattern has a trailing "/*" or in case the pattern is negative. The flag causes the `fnmatch` function to return a match in case a string is a leading directory of another, e.g. "dir/" matches "dir/foo/bar.c". In case of negative patterns, this is wrong in certain cases. Take the following simple example of a gitignore: dir/ !dir/ The `LEADINGDIR` flag causes "!dir/" to match "dir/foo/bar.c", and we correctly unignore the directory. But take this example: *.test !dir/* We expect everything in "dir/" to be unignored, but e.g. a file in a subdirectory of dir should be ignored, as the "*" does not cross directory hierarchies. With `LEADINGDIR`, though, we would just see that "dir/" matches and return that the file is unignored, even if it is contained in a subdirectory. Instead, we want to ignore leading directories here and check "*.test". Afterwards, we have to iterate up to the parent directory and do the same checks. To fix the issue, disallow matching against leading directories in gitignore files. This can be trivially done by just adding the `GIT_ATTR_FNMATCH_NOLEADINGDIR` to the spec passed to `git_attr_fnmatch__parse`. Due to a bug in that function, though, this flag is being ignored for negative patterns, which is fixed in this commit, as well. As a last fix, we need to ignore rules that are supposed to match a directory when our path itself is a file. All together, these changes fix the described error case.
Patrick Steinhardt 251d8771 2018-04-06T12:24:10 attr_file: fix handling of directory patterns with trailing spaces When comparing whether a path matches a directory rule, we pass the both the path and directory name to `fnmatch` with `GIT_ATTR_FNMATCH_DIRECTORY` being set. `fnmatch` expects the pattern to contain no trailing directory '/', which is why we try to always strip patterns of trailing slashes. We do not handle that case correctly though when the pattern itself has trailing spaces, causing the match to fail. Fix the issue by stripping trailing spaces and tabs for a rule previous to checking whether the pattern is a directory pattern with a trailing '/'. This replaces the whitespace-stripping in our ignore file parsing code, which was stripping whitespaces too late. Add a test to catch future breakage.
Edward Thomson a33deeb4 2018-02-28T12:20:23 win32: strncmp -> git__strncmp The win32 C library is compiled cdecl, however when configured with `STDCALL=ON`, our functions (and function pointers) will use the stdcall calling convention. You cannot set a `__stdcall` function pointer to a `__cdecl` function, so it's easier to just use our `git__strncmp` instead of sorting that mess out.
Patrick Steinhardt e28e17e6 2018-02-01T10:36:33 attr: avoid stat'ting files for bare repositories Depending on whether the path we want to look up an attribute for is a file or a directory, the fnmatch function will be called with different flags. Because of this, we have to first stat(3) the path to determine whether it is a file or directory in `git_attr_path__init`. This is wasteful though in bare repositories, where we can already be assured that the path will never exist at all due to there being no worktree. In this case, we will execute an unnecessary syscall, which might be noticeable on networked file systems. What happens right now is that we always pass the `GIT_DIR_FLAG_UNKOWN` flag to `git_attr_path__init`, which causes it to `stat` the file itself to determine its type. As it is calling `git_path_isdir` on the path, which will always return `false` in case the path does not exist, we end up with the path always being treated as a file in case of a bare repository. As such, we can just check the bare-repository case in all callers and then pass in `GIT_DIR_FLAG_FALSE` ourselves, avoiding the need to `stat`. While this may not always be correct, it at least is no different from our current behavior.
David Turner 5cb6a2c9 2017-10-29T12:28:43 Ignore trailing whitespace in .gitignore files (as git itself does)
Patrick Steinhardt 2d9ff8f5 2017-07-10T09:36:19 ignore: honor case insensitivity for negative ignores When computing negative ignores, we throw away any rule which does not undo a previous rule to optimize. But on case insensitive file systems, we need to keep in mind that a negative ignore can also undo a previous rule with different case, which we did not yet honor while determining whether a rule undoes a previous one. So in the following example, we fail to unignore the "/Case" directory: /case !/Case Make both paths checking whether a plain- or wildcard-based rule undo a previous rule aware of case-insensitivity. This fixes the described issue.
Patrick Steinhardt b8922fc8 2017-07-07T13:27:27 ignore: keep negative rules containing wildcards Ignore rules allow for reverting a previously ignored rule by prefixing it with an exclamation mark. As such, a negative rule can only override previously ignored files. While computing all ignore patterns, we try to use this fact to optimize away some negative rules which do not override any previous patterns, as they won't change the outcome anyway. In some cases, though, this optimization causes us to get the actual ignores wrong for some files. This may happen whenever the pattern contains a wildcard, as we are unable to reason about whether a pattern overrides a previous pattern in a sane way. This happens for example in the case where a gitignore file contains "*.c" and "!src/*.c", where we wouldn't un-ignore files inside of the "src/" subdirectory. In this case, the first solution coming to mind may be to just strip the "src/" prefix and simply compare the basenames. While that would work here, it would stop working as soon as the basename pattern itself is different, like for example with "*x.c" and "!src/*.c. As such, we settle for the easier fix of just not optimizing away rules that contain a wildcard.

Patrick Steinhardt 0c7f49dd 2017-06-30T13:39:01 Make sure to always include "common.h" first Next to including several files, our "common.h" header also declares various macros which are then used throughout the project. As such, we have to make sure to always include this file first in all implementation files. Otherwise, we might encounter problems or even silent behavioural differences due to macros or defines not being defined as they should be. So in fact, our header and implementation files should make sure to always include "common.h" first. This commit does so by establishing a common include pattern. Header files inside of "src" will now always include "common.h" as its first other file, separated by a newline from all the other includes to make it stand out as special. There are two cases for the implementation files. If they do have a matching header file, they will always include this one first, leading to "common.h" being transitively included as first file. If they do not have a matching header file, they instead include "common.h" as first file themselves. This fixes the outlined problems and will become our standard practice for header and source files inside of the "src/" from now on.

Patrick Steinhardt c5f3da96 2016-11-11T14:36:43 repository: use `git_repository_item_path` The recent introduction of the commondir variable of a repository requires callers to distinguish whether their files are part of the dot-git directory or the common directory shared between multpile worktrees. In order to take the burden from callers and unify knowledge on which files reside where, the `git_repository_item_path` function has been introduced which encapsulate this knowledge. Modify most existing callers of `git_repository_path` to use `git_repository_item_path` instead, thus making them implicitly aware of the common directory.

Patrick Steinhardt fcb2c1c8 2016-08-12T09:06:15 ignore: allow unignoring basenames in subdirectories The .gitignore file allows for patterns which unignore previous ignore patterns. When unignoring a previous pattern, there are basically three cases how this is matched when no globbing is used: 1. when a previous file has been ignored, it can be unignored by using its exact name, e.g. foo/bar !foo/bar 2. when a file in a subdirectory has been ignored, it can be unignored by using its basename, e.g. foo/bar !bar 3. when all files with a basename are ignored, a specific file can be unignored again by specifying its path in a subdirectory, e.g. bar !foo/bar The first problem in libgit2 is that we did not correctly treat the second case. While we verified that the negative pattern matches the tail of the positive one, we did not verify if it only matches the basename of the positive pattern. So e.g. we would have also negated a pattern like foo/fruz_bar !bar Furthermore, we did not check for the third case, where a basename is being unignored in a certain subdirectory again. Both issues are fixed with this commit.

Edward Thomson 9f779aac 2015-01-29T14:40:55 attrcache: don't re-read attrs during checkout During checkout, assume that the .gitattributes files aren't modified during the checkout. Instead, create an "attribute session" during checkout. Assume that attribute data read in the same checkout "session" hasn't been modified since the checkout started. (But allow subsequent checkouts to invalidate the cache.) Further, cache nonexistent git_attr_file data even when .gitattributes files are not found to prevent re-scanning for nonexistent files.
Carlos Martín Nieto e05b2ff1 2014-12-05T18:25:38 ignore: match git's rule negation rules A rule can only negate something which was explicitly mentioned in the rules before it. Change our parsing to ignore a negative rule which does not negate something mentioned in the rules above it. While here, fix a wrong allocator usage. The memory for the match string comes from pool allocator. We must not free it with the general allocator. We can instead simply forget the string and it will be cleaned up.
The rugged tests are fragile bbb988a5 2014-09-17T14:52:31 path: Fix `git_path_walk_up` to work with non-rooted paths
Russell Belfer f554611a 2014-05-06T12:41:26 Improve checks for ignore containment The diff code was using an "ignored_prefix" directory to track if a parent directory was ignored that contained untracked files alongside tracked files. Unfortunately, when negative ignore rules were used for directories inside ignored parents, the wrong rules were applied to untracked files inside the negatively ignored child directories. This commit moves the logic for ignore containment into the workdir iterator (which is a better place for it), so the ignored-ness of a directory is contained in the frame stack during traversal. This allows a child directory to override with a negative ignore and yet still restore the ignored state of the parent when we traverse out of the child. Along with this, there are some problems with "directory only" ignore rules on container directories. Given "a/*" and "!a/b/c/" (where the second rule is a directory rule but the first rule is just a generic prefix rule), then the directory only constraint was having "a/b/c/d/file" match the first rule and not the second. This was fixed by having ignore directory-only rules test a rule against the prefix of a file with LEADINGDIR enabled. Lastly, spot checks for ignores using `git_ignore_path_is_ignored` were tested from the top directory down to the bottom to deal with the containment problem, but this is wrong. We have to test bottom to top so that negative subdirectory rules will be checked before parent ignore rules. This does change the behavior of some existing tests, but it seems only to bring us more in line with core Git, so I think those changes are acceptable.

Russell Belfer 6a0956e5 2014-04-18T10:32:35 Pop ignore only if whole relative path matches When traversing the directory structure, the iterator pushes and pops ignore files using a vector. Some directories don't have ignore files, so it uses a path comparison to decide when it is right to actually pop the last ignore file. This was only comparing directory suffixes, though, so a subdirectory with the same name as a parent could result in the parent's .gitignore being popped off the list ignores too early. This changes the logic to compare the entire relative path of the ignore file.
Russell Belfer 823c0e9c 2014-04-17T11:53:13 Fix broken logic for attr cache invalidation The checks to see if files were out of date in the attibute cache was wrong because the cache-breaker data wasn't getting stored correctly. Additionally, when the cache-breaker triggered, the old file data was being leaked.
Russell Belfer e6e8530a 2014-04-14T12:31:17 Lock attribute file while reparsing data I don't love this approach, but achieving thread-safety for attribute and ignore data while reloading files would require a larger rewrite in order to avoid this. If an attribute or ignore file is out of date, this holds a lock on the file while we are reloading the data so that another thread won't try to reload the data at the same time.

Russell Belfer a9528b8f 2014-04-14T15:59:48 Fix core.excludesfile named .gitignore Ignore rules with slashes in them are matched using FNM_PATHNAME and use the path to the .gitignore file from the root of the repository along with the path fragment (including slashes) in the ignore file itself. Unfortunately, the relative path to the .gitignore file was being applied to the global core.excludesfile if that was also named ".gitignore". This fixes that with more precise matching and includes test for ignore rules with leading slashes (which were the primary example of this being broken in the real world). This also backports an improvement to the file context logic from the threadsafe-iterators branch where we don't rely on mutating the key of the attribute file name to generate the context path.
Russell Belfer 8f7bc646 2014-04-10T16:33:39 Fix bug popping ignore files during wd iteration There were a couple bugs in popping ignore files during iteration that could result in incorrect decisions be made and thus ignore files below the root either not being loaded correctly or not being popped at the right time. One bug was an off-by-one in comparing the path of the gitignore file with the path being exited during iteration. The second bug was not correctly truncating the path being tracked during traversal if there were no ignores on the list (i.e. when you have no .gitignore at the root, but do have some in contained directories).
Russell Belfer 25e0b157 2013-12-06T15:07:57 Remove converting user error to GIT_EUSER This changes the behavior of callbacks so that the callback error code is not converted into GIT_EUSER and instead we propagate the return value through to the caller. Instead of using the giterr_capture and giterr_restore functions, we now rely on all functions to pass back the return value from a callback. To avoid having a return value with no error message, the user can call the public giterr_set_str or some such function to set an error message. There is a new helper 'giterr_set_callback' that functions can invoke after making a callback which ensures that some error message was set in case the callback did not set one. In places where the sign of the callback return value is meaningful (e.g. positive to skip, negative to abort), only the negative values are returned back to the caller, obviously, since the other values allow for continuing the loop. The hardest parts of this were in the checkout code where positive return values were overloaded as meaningful values for checkout. I fixed this by adding an output parameter to many of the internal checkout functions and removing the overload. This added some code, but it is probably a better implementation. There is some funkiness in the network code where user provided callbacks could be returning a positive or a negative value and we want to rely on that to cancel the loop. There are still a couple places where an user error might get turned into GIT_EUSER there, I think, though none exercised by the tests.
Russell Belfer dab89f9b 2013-12-04T21:22:57 Further EUSER and error propagation fixes This continues auditing all the places where GIT_EUSER is being returned and making sure to clear any existing error using the new giterr_user_cancel helper. As a result, places that relied on intercepting GIT_EUSER but having the old error preserved also needed to be cleaned up to correctly stash and then retrieve the actual error. Additionally, as I encountered places where error codes were not being propagated correctly, I tried to fix them up. A number of those fixes are included in the this commit as well.

Russell Belfer ba8b8c04 2013-08-07T09:17:20 Improve building ignore file lists The routines to push and pop ignore files while traversing a directory had some issues. In particular, setting up the initial list would sometimes push an ignore file before it ought to be applied if the starting path was a directory containing an ignore file. Also, the pop function was not always matching the right part of the path and would fail to pop ignores from the list in some cases. This adds some tests that exercise a particular problematic case and then fixes the problems that I could find related to this. At some point, I'd like to isolate this ignore rule management code and rewrite it, but that's a larger project and right now, I'll opt to just try to fix the broken behaviors.

Russell Belfer 85b8b18b 2013-06-19T15:22:48 Add fn to check pathspec for ignored files Command line Git sometimes generates an error message if given a pathspec that contains an exact match to an ignored file (provided --force isn't also given). This adds an internal function that makes it easy to check it that has happened. Right now, I'm not creating a public API for this because that would get a little more complicated with a need for callbacks for all invalid paths.
Russell Belfer eac76c23 2013-04-22T14:27:36 Use config cache where possible This converts many of the config lookups that are done around the library to use the repository config cache. This was everything I could find that wasn't part of diff (which requires a larger fix).

Russell Belfer 5540d947 2013-03-15T16:39:00 Implement global/system file search paths The goal of this work is to expose the search logic for "global", "system", and "xdg" files through the git_libgit2_opts() interface. Behind the scenes, I changed the logic for finding files to have a notion of a git_strarray that represents a search path and to store a separate search path for each of the three tiers of config file. For each tier, I implemented a function to initialize it to default values (generally based on environment variables), and then general interfaces to get it, set it, reset it, and prepend new directories to it. Next, I exposed these interfaces through the git_libgit2_opts interface, reusing the GIT_CONFIG_LEVEL_SYSTEM, etc., constants for the user to control which search path they were modifying. There are alternative designs for the opts interface / argument ordering, so I'm putting this phase out for discussion. Additionally, I ended up doing a little bit of clean up regarding attr.h and attr_file.h, adding a new attrcache.h so the other two files wouldn't have to be included in so many places.
Russell Belfer 02df42dd 2012-11-19T16:33:30 Set up default internal ignores This adds "." ".." and ".git" to the internal ignores list by default - asking about paths with these files will always say that they are ignored.
Russell Belfer 52032ae5 2012-10-15T12:48:43 Fix single-file ignore checks To answer if a single given file should be ignored, the path to that file has to be processed progressively checking that there are no intermediate ignored directories in getting to the file in question. This enables that, fixing the broken old behavior, and adds tests to exercise various ignore situations.

Russell Belfer 11684104 2012-08-24T13:41:45 Fix crash with adding internal ignores Depending on what you had done before adding new items to the internal ignores list, it was possible for the cache of ignore data to be uninitialized.
Russell Belfer 2fb4e9b3 2012-08-22T11:42:00 Wrap up ignore API and add tests This fills out the ignore API and adds tests.
Russell Belfer f004c4a8 2012-08-21T17:26:39 Add public API for internal ignores This creates a public API for adding to the internal ignores list, which already existing but was not accessible. This adds the new default value for core.excludesfile also.

Russell Belfer f917481e 2012-05-03T16:37:25 Support reading attributes from index Depending on the operation, we need to consider gitattributes in both the work dir and the index. This adds a parameter to all of the gitattributes related functions that allows user control of attribute reading behavior (i.e. prefer workdir, prefer index, only use index). This fix also covers allowing us to check attributes (and hence do diff and status) on bare repositories. This was a somewhat larger change that I hoped because it had to change the cache key used for gitattributes files.
Russell Belfer d58336dd 2012-04-26T10:51:45 Fix leading slash behavior in attrs/ignores We were not following the git behavior for leading slashes in path names when matching git ignores and git attribute file patterns. This should fix issue #638.
Russell Belfer 19fa2bc1 2012-04-17T15:12:50 Convert attrs and diffs to use string pools This converts the git attr related code (including ignores) and the git diff related code (and implicitly the status code) to use `git_pools` for storing strings. This reduces the number of small blocks allocated dramatically.
Russell Belfer 95dfb031 2012-03-30T14:40:50 Improve config handling for diff,submodules,attrs This adds support for a bunch of core.* settings that affect diff and status, plus fixes up some incorrect implementations of those settings from before. Also, this cleans up the handling of config settings in the new submodules code and in the old attrs/ignore code.
Russell Belfer 0d0fa7c3 2012-03-16T15:56:01 Convert attr, ignore, mwindow, status to new errors Also cleaned up some previously converted code that still had little things to polish.
Russell Belfer ab43ad2f 2012-03-14T11:07:14 Convert attr and other files to new errors This continues to add other files to the new error handling style. I think the only real concerns here are that there are a couple of error return cases that I have converted to asserts, but I think that it was the correct thing to do given the new error style.
Vicent Martí 13224ea4 2012-02-27T04:28:31 buffer: Unify `git_fbuffer` and `git_buf` This makes so much sense that I can't believe it hasn't been done before. Kill the old `git_fbuffer` and read files straight into `git_buf` objects. Also: In order to fully support 4GB files in 32-bit systems, the `git_buf` implementation has been changed from using `ssize_t` for storage and storing negative values on allocation failure, to using `size_t` and changing the buffer pointer to a magical pointer on allocation failure. Hopefully this won't break anything.
Russell Belfer 0534641d 2012-02-22T15:15:35 Fix iterators based on pull request feedback This update addresses all of the feedback in pull request #570. The biggest change was to create actual linked list stacks for storing the tree and workdir iterator state. This cleaned up the code a ton. Additionally, all of the static functions had their 'git_' prefix removed, and a lot of other unnecessary changes were removed from the original patch.
Russell Belfer b6c93aef 2012-02-21T14:46:24 Uniform iterators for trees, index, and workdir This create a new git_iterator type of object that provides a uniform interface for iterating over the index, an arbitrary tree, or the working directory of a repository. As part of this, git ignore support was extended to support push and pop of directory-based ignore files as the working directory is being traversed (so the array of ignores does not have to be recreated at each directory during traveral). There are a number of other small utility functions in buffer, path, vector, and fileops that are included in this patch that made the iterator implementation cleaner.
Russell Belfer adc9bdb3 2012-01-31T13:59:32 Fix attr path is_dir check When building an attr path object, the code that checks if the file is a directory was evaluating the file as a relative path to the current working directory, instead of using the repo root. This lead to inconsistent behavior.
Russell Belfer 63ab73be 2012-01-20T11:13:17 Merge branch 'fix-subdir-attr-paths' into development This resolves issue #535 and issue #533.
Russell Belfer 1744fafe 2012-01-17T15:49:47 Move path related functions from fileops to path This takes all of the functions that look up simple data about paths (such as `git_futils_isdir`) and moves them over to path.h (becoming `git_path_isdir`). This leaves fileops.h just with functions that actually manipulate the filesystem or look at the file contents in some way. As part of this, the dir.h header which is really just for win32 support was moved into win32 (with some minor changes).
Russell Belfer a51cd8e6 2012-01-16T16:58:27 Fix handling of relative paths for attrs Per issue #533, the handling of relative paths in attribute and ignore files was not right. Fixed this by pre-joining the relative path of the attribute/ignore file onto the match string when a full path match is required. Unfortunately, fixing this required a bit more code than I would have liked because I had to juggle things around so that the fnmatch parser would have sufficient information to prepend the relative path when it was needed.
Russell Belfer cfbc880d 2012-01-16T15:16:44 Patch cleanup for merge After reviewing the gitignore support with Vicent, we came up with a list of minor cleanups to prepare for merge, including: * checking git_repository_config error returns * renaming git_ignore_is_ignored and moving to status.h * fixing next_line skipping to include \r skips * commenting on where ignores are and are not included
Russell Belfer 1dbcc9fc 2012-01-11T21:07:16 Fix several memory issues This contains fixes for several issues discovered by MSVC and by valgrind, including some bad data access, some memory leakage (in where certain files were not being successfully added to the cache), and some code simplification.
Russell Belfer 0cfcff5d 2012-01-11T20:41:55 Convert git_path_walk_up to regular function This gets rid of the crazy macro version of git_path_walk_up and makes it into a normal function that takes a callback parameter. This turned out not to be too messy.
Russell Belfer 6a67a812 2012-01-11T16:01:48 Allow ignores (and attribs) for nonexistent files This fixes issue 532 that attributes (and gitignores) could not be checked for files that don't exist. It should be possible to query such things regardless of the existence of the file.
Russell Belfer df743c7d 2012-01-09T15:37:19 Initial implementation of gitignore support Adds support for .gitignore files to git_status_foreach() and git_status_file(). This includes refactoring the gitattributes code to share logic where possible. The GIT_STATUS_IGNORED flag will now be passed in for files that are ignored (provided they are not already in the index or the head of repo).
