Edward Thomson 6f7c4118 2015-11-17T08:38:46 config::global: use PROGRAMDATA configuration Query the `GIT_CONFIG_LEVEL_PROGRAMDATA` location when setting it up for tests, in case the test runner has sandboxed it.
Carlos Martín Nieto 8c7c5fa5 2015-10-20T17:42:42 config: add a ProgramData level This is where portable git stores the global configuration which we can use to adhere to it even though git isn't quite installed on the system.
Edward Thomson ac2fba0e 2015-09-16T15:07:27 git_futils_mkdir_*: make a relative-to-base mkdir Untangle git_futils_mkdir from git_futils_mkdir_ext - the latter assumes that we own everything beneath the base, as if it were being called with a base of the repository or working directory, and is tailored towards checkout and ensuring that there is no bogosity beneath the base that must be cleaned up. This is (at best) slow and (at worst) unsafe in the larger context of a filesystem where we do not own things and cannot do things like unlink symlinks that are in our way.
Carlos Martín Nieto 9a97f49e 2014-12-21T15:31:03 config: borrow refcounted references 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.
Russell Belfer 8487e237 2014-05-15T10:56:28 Better search path sandboxing There are a number of tests that modify the global or system search paths during the tests. This adds a helper function to make it easier to restore those paths and makes sure that they are getting restored in a manner that preserves test isolation.
Russell Belfer 0f603132 2014-05-01T14:47:33 Improve handling of fake home directory There are a few tests that set up a fake home directory and a fake GLOBAL search path so that we can test things in global ignore or attribute or config files. This cleans up that code to work more robustly even if there is a test failure. This also fixes some valgrind warnings where scanning search paths for separators could end up doing a little bit of sketchy data access when coming to the end of search list.
