	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.
	909d5494	2016-12-29T12:25:15		giterr_set: consistent error messages Error messages should be sentence fragments, and therefore: 1. Should not begin with a capital letter, 2. Should not conclude with punctuation, and 3. Should not end a sentence and begin a new one
	eb39284b	2016-04-25T12:16:05		tag: ignore extra header fields While no extra header fields are defined for tags, git accepts them by ignoring them and continuing the search for the message. There are a few tags like this in the wild which git parses just fine, so we should do the same.
	91f0d186	2015-12-21T20:49:14		typos in comments
	659cf202	2015-01-07T12:23:05		Remove the signature from ref-modifying functions 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.
	f1453c59	2015-02-12T12:19:37		Make our overflow check look more like gcc/clang's Make our overflow checking look more like gcc and clang's, so that we can substitute it out with the compiler instrinsics on platforms that support it. This means dropping the ability to pass `NULL` as an out parameter. As a result, the macros also get updated to reflect this as well.
	392702ee	2015-02-09T23:41:13		allocations: test for overflow of requested size Introduce some helper macros to test integer overflow from arithmetic and set error message appropriately.

	1ad15540	2014-10-24T08:23:14		Fixed memory leak in git_tag_delete()
	a37aa82e	2014-05-13T15:54:23		Some coverity inspired cleanups
	0b28217b	2014-01-15T12:51:31		refs: remove the _with_log differentiation Any well-behaved program should write a descriptive message to the reflog whenever it updates a reference. Let's make this more prominent by removing the version without the reflog parameters.
	26c1cb91	2013-12-09T09:44:03		One more rename/cleanup for callback err functions
	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.
	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.
	376e6c9f	2013-08-15T13:48:35		odb: wrap the stream reading and writing functions This is in preparation for moving the hashing to the frontend, which requires us to handle the incoming data before passing it to the backend's stream.
	ec24e542	2013-05-29T22:47:37		What are the chances, really
	b81cc1d6	2013-05-18T16:52:16		tag: Introduce git_tag_annotation_create()
	2b562c3a	2013-05-04T16:32:58		refs: remove the OID/SYMBOLIC filtering Nobody should ever be using anything other than ALL at this level, so remove the option altogether. As part of this, git_reference_foreach_glob is now implemented in the frontend using an iterator. Backends will later regain the ability of doing the glob filtering in the backend.
	0b726701	2013-04-30T13:13:38		object: Explicitly define helper API methods for all obj types
	203d5b0e	2013-04-29T18:20:58		Some cleanups Removed useless prototype and renamed object typecast functions declaration macro.
	d7761102	2013-04-29T14:22:06		Standardize cast versions of git_object accessors This removes the GIT_INLINE versions of the simple git_object accessors and standardizes them with a helper macro in src/object.h to build the function bodies.
	3f27127d	2013-04-16T11:51:02		Simplify object table parse functions This unifies the object parse functions into one signature that takes an odb_object.
	78606263	2013-04-15T00:05:44		Add callback to git_objects_table This adds create and free callback to the git_objects_table so that more of the creation and destruction of objects can be table driven instead of using switch statements. This also makes the semantics of certain object creation functions consistent so that we can make better use of function pointers. This also fixes a theoretical error case where an object allocation fails and we end up storing NULL into the cache.
	badd85a6	2013-04-10T17:10:17		Use git_odb_object_data/_size whereever possible This uses the odb object accessors so we can change the internals more easily...
	8842c75f	2013-04-03T22:30:07		What has science done.
	83cc70d9	2013-04-19T12:48:33		Move odb_backend implementors stuff into git2/sys This moves some of the odb_backend stuff that is related to the internals of an odb_backend implementation into include/git2/sys. Some of the stuff related to streaming I left in include/git2 because it seemed like it would be reasonably needed by a normal user who wanted to stream objects into and out of the ODB. Also, I added APIs for traversing the list of backends so that some of the tests would not need to access ODB internals.

	6bb9fea1	2012-11-02T10:28:17		tags: Fixed the tag parser to correctly treat the message field as optional. This fix makes libgit2 capable of parsing annotated tag objects that lack the optional message/description field. Previously, libgit2 treated this field as mandatory and raised a tag_error on such tags. However, the message field is optional. An example of such a tag is refs/tags/v2.6.16.31-rc1 in Linux: $ git cat-file tag refs/tags/v2.6.16.31-rc1 object afaa018cefb6af63befef1df7d8febaae904434f type commit tag v2.6.16.31-rc1 tagger Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> 1162716505 +0100 $
	2f05339e	2012-07-10T08:53:05		Add git_tag_foreach
	3af06254	2012-09-20T22:42:22		Tags: teach git_tag_list not to include the 'refs/tags/' prefix Since quite a while now, git_branch_foreach has learnt to list branches without the 'refs/heads/' or 'refs/remotes' prefixes. This patch teaches git_tag_list to do the same for listing tags.
	d8057a5b	2012-08-27T11:53:59		Make git_object_peel a bit smarter This expands the types of peeling that `git_object_peel` knows how to do to include TAG -> BLOB peeling, and makes the errors slightly more consistent depending on the situation. It also adds a new special behavior where peeling to ANY will peel until the object type changes (e.g. chases TAGs to a non-TAG). Using this expanded peeling, this replaces peeling code that was embedded in `git_tag_peel` and `git_reset`.
	743a4b3b	2012-06-15T22:24:59		message: Expose git_message_prettify() git_commit() and git_tag() no longer prettify the message by default. This has to be taken care of by the caller. This has the nice side effect of putting the caller in position to actually choose to strip the comments or not.

	458b9450	2012-03-01T17:03:32		commit/tag: ensure the message is cleaned up 'git commit' and 'git tag -a' enforce some conventions, like cleaning up excess whitespace and making sure that the last line ends with a '\n'. This fix replicates this behavior. Fix libgit2/libgit2sharp#117

	3f46f313	2012-04-06T14:34:26		tag: Add git_tag_peel() which recursively peel a tag until a non tag git_object is met
	cb8a7961	2012-03-07T00:02:55		error-handling: Repository This also includes droping `git_buf_lasterror` because it makes no sense in the new system. Note that in most of the places were it has been dropped, the code needs cleanup. I.e. GIT_ENOMEM is going away, so instead it should return a generic `-1` and obviously not throw anything.
	b60deb02	2012-02-22T04:41:08		Export parse_tag_buffer as git_tag__parse_buffer.
	5e0de328	2012-02-13T17:10:24		Update Copyright header Signed-off-by: schu <schu-github@schulog.org>
	97769280	2011-11-30T11:27:15		Use git_buf for path storage instead of stack-based buffers This converts virtually all of the places that allocate GIT_PATH_MAX buffers on the stack for manipulating paths to use git_buf objects instead. The patch is pretty careful not to touch the public API for libgit2, so there are a few places that still use GIT_PATH_MAX. This extends and changes some details of the git_buf implementation to add a couple of extra functions and to make error handling easier. This includes serious alterations to all the path.c functions, and several of the fileops.c ones, too. Also, there are a number of new functions that parallel existing ones except that use a git_buf instead of a stack-based buffer (such as git_config_find_global_r that exists alongsize git_config_find_global). This also modifies the win32 version of p_realpath to allocate whatever buffer size is needed to accommodate the realpath instead of hardcoding a GIT_PATH_MAX limit, but that change needs to be tested still.
	45e79e37	2011-11-26T04:59:21		Rename all `_close` methods There's no difference between `_free` and `_close` semantics: keep everything with the same name to avoid confusions.
	9462c471	2011-11-25T08:16:26		repository: Change ownership semantics The ownership semantics have been changed all over the library to be consistent. There are no more "borrowed" or duplicated references. Main changes: - `git_repository_open2` and `3` have been dropped. - Added setters and getters to hotswap all the repository owned objects: `git_repository_index` `git_repository_set_index` `git_repository_odb` `git_repository_set_odb` `git_repository_config` `git_repository_set_config` `git_repository_workdir` `git_repository_set_workdir` Now working directories/index files/ODBs and so on can be hot-swapped after creating a repository and between operations. - All these objects now have proper ownership semantics with refcounting: they all require freeing after they are no longer needed (the repository always keeps its internal reference). - Repository open and initialization has been updated to keep in mind the configuration files. Bare repositories are now always detected, and a default config file is created on init. - All the tests affected by these changes have been dropped from the old test suite and ported to the new one.
	75abd2b9	2011-08-11T19:38:13		Free all used references in the source tree Since references are not owned by the repository anymore we have to free them manually now. Signed-off-by: schu <schu-github@schulog.org>
	3286c408	2011-10-28T14:51:13		global: Properly use `git__` memory wrappers Ensure that all memory related functions (malloc, calloc, strdup, free, etc) are using their respective `git__` wrappers.
	15b0bed2	2011-08-11T16:12:29		tag: allow the tagger field to be missing when parsing tags Instead of bailing out with an error, this sets tagger to NULL when the field is missing from the object. This makes it possible to inspect tags like this one: http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=tag;h=f25a265a342aed6041ab0cc484224d9ca54b6f41
	cf7b13f3	2011-08-11T14:05:55		tag: avoid a double-free when parsing tags without a tagger field The v0.99 tag in the Git repo triggers this behavior: http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=tag;h=d6602ec5194c87b0fc87103ca4d67251c76f233a Ideally, we'd allow the tag to be instantiated even though the tagger field is missing, but this at the very least prevents libgit2 from crashing. To test this bug, a new repository has been added based on the test branch in testrepo.git. It contains a "e90810b" tag that looks like this: object e90810b8df3e80c413d903f631643c716887138d type commit tag e90810b This is a very simple tag.
	87d9869f	2011-09-19T03:34:49		Tabify everything There were quite a few places were spaces were being used instead of tabs. Try to catch them all. This should hopefully not break anything. Except for `git blame`. Oh well.
	bb742ede	2011-09-19T01:54:32		Cleanup legal data 1. The license header is technically not valid if it doesn't have a copyright signature. 2. The COPYING file has been updated with the different licenses used in the project. 3. The full GPLv2 header in each file annoys me.

	afeecf4f	2011-07-09T02:10:46		odb: Direct writes are back DIRECT WRITES ARE BACK AND FASTER THAN EVER. The streaming writer to the ODB was an overkill for the smaller objects like Commit and Tags; most of the streaming logic was taking too long. This commit makes Commits, Tags and Trees to be built-up in memory, and then written to disk in 2 pushes (header + data), instead of streaming everything. This is *always* faster, even for big files (since the git_filebuf class still does streaming writes when the memory cache overflows). This is also a gazillion lines of code smaller, because we don't have to precompute the final size of the object before starting the stream (this was kind of defeating the point of streaming, anyway). Blobs are still written with full streaming instead of loading them in memory, since this is still the fastest way. A new `git_buf` class has been added. It's missing some features, but it'll get there.
	d483a911	2011-07-08T18:31:05		signature: Fix optional header
	06c43821	2011-07-09T02:37:16		Remove unused methods The direct-writes commit left some (slow) internals methods that were no longer needed. These have been removed. Also, the Reflog code was using the old `git_signature__write`, so it has been rewritten to use a normal buffer and the new `writebuf` signature writer. It's now slightly simpler and faster.

	f79026b4	2011-07-04T11:43:34		fileops: Cleanup Cleaned up the structure of the whole OS-abstraction layer. fileops.c now contains a set of utility methods for file management used by the library. These are abstractions on top of the original POSIX calls. There's a new file called `posix.c` that contains emulations/reimplementations of all the POSIX calls the library uses. These are prefixed with `p_`. There's a specific posix file for each platform (win32 and unix). All the path-related methods have been moved from `utils.c` to `path.c` and have their own prefix.

	d5afc039	2011-06-28T19:15:48		Remove redundant methods from the API A bunch of redundant methods have been removed from the external API. - All the reference/tag creation methods with `_f` are gone. The force flag is now passed as an argument to the normal create methods. - All the different commit creation methods are gone; commit creation now always requires a `git_commit` pointer for parents and a `git_tree` pointer for tree, to ensure that corrupted commits cannot be generated. - All the different tag creation methods are gone; tag creation now always requires a `git_object` pointer to ensure that tags are not created to inexisting objects.

	72a3fe42	2011-03-18T19:38:49		I broke your bindings Hey. Apologies in advance -- I broke your bindings. This is a major commit that includes a long-overdue redesign of the whole object-database structure. This is expected to be the last major external API redesign of the library until the first non-alpha release. Please get your bindings up to date with these changes. They will be included in the next minor release. Sorry again! Major features include: - Real caching and refcounting on parsed objects - Real caching and refcounting on objects read from the ODB - Streaming writes & reads from the ODB - Single-method writes for all object types - The external API is now partially thread-safe The speed increases are significant in all aspects, specially when reading an object several times from the ODB (revwalking) and when writing big objects to the ODB. Here's a full changelog for the external API: blob.h ------ - Remove `git_blob_new` - Remove `git_blob_set_rawcontent` - Remove `git_blob_set_rawcontent_fromfile` - Rename `git_blob_writefile` -> `git_blob_create_fromfile` - Change `git_blob_create_fromfile`: The `path` argument is now relative to the repository's working dir - Add `git_blob_create_frombuffer` commit.h -------- - Remove `git_commit_new` - Remove `git_commit_add_parent` - Remove `git_commit_set_message` - Remove `git_commit_set_committer` - Remove `git_commit_set_author` - Remove `git_commit_set_tree` - Add `git_commit_create` - Add `git_commit_create_v` - Add `git_commit_create_o` - Add `git_commit_create_ov` tag.h ----- - Remove `git_tag_new` - Remove `git_tag_set_target` - Remove `git_tag_set_name` - Remove `git_tag_set_tagger` - Remove `git_tag_set_message` - Add `git_tag_create` - Add `git_tag_create_o` tree.h ------ - Change `git_tree_entry_2object`: New signature is `(git_object **object_out, git_repository *repo, git_tree_entry *entry)` - Remove `git_tree_new` - Remove `git_tree_add_entry` - Remove `git_tree_remove_entry_byindex` - Remove `git_tree_remove_entry_byname` - Remove `git_tree_clearentries` - Remove `git_tree_entry_set_id` - Remove `git_tree_entry_set_name` - Remove `git_tree_entry_set_attributes` object.h ------------ - Remove `git_object_new - Remove `git_object_write` - Change `git_object_close`: This method is now *mandatory*. Not closing an object causes a memory leak. odb.h ----- - Remove type `git_rawobj` - Remove `git_rawobj_close` - Rename `git_rawobj_hash` -> `git_odb_hash` - Change `git_odb_hash`: New signature is `(git_oid *id, const void *data, size_t len, git_otype type)` - Add type `git_odb_object` - Add `git_odb_object_close` - Change `git_odb_read`: New signature is `(git_odb_object **out, git_odb *db, const git_oid *id)` - Change `git_odb_read_header`: New signature is `(size_t *len_p, git_otype *type_p, git_odb *db, const git_oid *id)` - Remove `git_odb_write` - Add `git_odb_open_wstream` - Add `git_odb_open_rstream` odb_backend.h ------------- - Change type `git_odb_backend`: New internal signatures are as follows int (* read)(void **, size_t *, git_otype *, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *) int (* read_header)(size_t *, git_otype *, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *) int (* writestream)(struct git_odb_stream **, struct git_odb_backend *, size_t, git_otype) int (* readstream)( struct git_odb_stream **, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *) - Add type `git_odb_stream` - Add enum `git_odb_streammode` Signed-off-by: Vicent Marti <tanoku@gmail.com>
	b5c5f0f8	2011-03-16T23:59:09		Fix headers for the new Revision Walker The "oid.h" header is now included instead of "object.h". The old "revwalk.h" header has been removed; it was empty.
	6b2a1941	2011-03-12T23:09:16		Fix the retarded object interdependency system It's no longer retarded. All object interdependencies are stored as OIDs instead of actual objects. This should be hundreds of times faster, specially on big repositories. Heck, who knows, maye it doesn't even segfault -- wouldn't that be awesome? What has changed on the API? `git_commit_parent`, `git_commit_tree`, `git_tag_target` now return their values through a pointer-to-pointer, and have an error code. `git_commit_set_tree` and `git_tag_set_target` now return an error code and may fail. `git_repository_free__no_gc` has been deprecated because it's stupid. Since there are no longer any interdependencies between objects, we don't need internal reference counting, and GC never fails or double-free's pointers. `git_object_close` now does a very sane thing: marks an object as unused. Closed objects will be eventually free'd from the object cache based on LRU. Please use `git_object_close` from the garbage collector `destroy` method on your bindings. It's 100% safe. `git_repository_gc` is a new method that forces a garbage collector pass through the repo, to free as many LRU objects as possible. This is useful if we are running out of memory.
	f335b42c	2011-03-05T01:17:59		Fix segmentation fault when freeing a repository Disable garbage collection of cross-references to prevent double-freeing. Internal reference management is now done with a separate method. Signed-off-by: Vicent Marti <tanoku@gmail.com>
	5de079b8	2011-02-28T12:12:26		Change the object creation/lookup API The methods previously known as git_repository_lookup git_repository_newobject git_repository_lookup_ref are now part of their respective namespaces: git_object_lookup git_object_new git_reference_lookup This makes the API more consistent with the new references API.
