Carlos Martín Nieto 9ba49bb5 2011-06-23T03:04:23 Add git_remote_connect and git_remote_ls These allow you to implement git-ls-remote when given a reference name and a repository. Signed-off-by: Carlos Martín Nieto <carlos@cmartin.tk>

Carlos Martín Nieto 4e913309 2011-06-17T16:38:21 Move transports to an inheritance model Rather than an 'private' pointer, make the private structures inherit from the generic git_transport struct. This way, we only have to worry about one memory allocation instead of two. The structures are so simple that this may even make the code use less memory overall.

Carlos Martín Nieto c4d0fa85 2011-06-16T01:54:19 Implement and use git_pkt_send_request This makes it easier to send a requqest for an URL. It assumes there is a socket where the string should go out to. Make git_pkt_gen_proto accept a command parameter, which defaults to git-upload-pack Signed-off-by: Carlos Martín Nieto <carlos@cmartin.tk>
Carlos Martín Nieto 7632e249 2011-06-13T23:01:12 Correctly handle network input Add a parameter to git_pkt_parse_line to tell it how much data you have in your buffer. If the buffer is too short, it returns an error saying so. Adapt the git transport to use this and fix the offset calculation. Add the GIT_ESHORTBUFFER error code.

Carlos Martín Nieto 63f91e1c 2011-06-22T16:52:30 Add git.git's fnmatch, which is really GNU's and the git__fnmatch wrapper If the strings match, git__fnmatch returns GIT_SUCCESS and GIT_ENOMATCH on failure to match. MSVC fixes: Added a test for _MSC_VER and (in that case) defined HAVE_STRING_H to 1 so it doesn't try to include <strings.h> which doesn't exist in the MSVC world. Moved the function declarations to use the modern inline ones so MSVC doesn't have a fit. Added casts everywhere so MSVC doesn't crap its pants. Signed-off-by: Carlos Martín Nieto <carlos@cmartin.tk>

Vicent Marti 37172582 2011-06-18T21:14:55 libgit2 v0.13.0 "Watermelon Wheat" On this rascalicious minor release of libgit2: - We've dropped support for Waf. All the build process is now managed through CMake for all platforms. - We've removed the custom backends from the repository. You can now find a collection of Custom backends on their own repo, under the libgit2 org. Including MySQL and Memcache backends, courtesy of the beardful Brian Lopez. - We are rocking a new documentation system, Docurium, courtesy of the insightful Scott Chacon. Check out the details for each single method in our external API and the way they've evolved through the history of the library: http://libgit2.github.com/libgit2/ This will certainly come in handy if you are developing bindings for the library. - You can now check the linked version of the library from your application or bindings, using `git_libgit2_version`. - We have a gazillion new features, courtesy of our invaluable collaborators, including: * Support for Config files! * Support for prefix-only reads on the ODB * Repository discovery * Support for the Unmerged Entries index extension * Better Windows support * 30.000 bug fixes (actual number may be lower) Thanks as always to everyone who makes this project possible.

Jakob Pfender ee4912bf 2011-06-07T11:15:23 Revert "common: Include stat.h in include/git2/common.h instead of src/common.h" This reverts commit df1c98ab6d6171ed63729195bd190b54b67fe530. As 8a27b6b reverts the exposition of struct stat to the external API, we do not need - indeed, do not want - struct stat to be in the outer include layer.
Jakob Pfender b74c867a 2011-06-07T11:11:09 blob: Stat path inside git_blob_create_fromfile 00582bc introduced a change that required the caller of git_blob_create_fromfile() to pass a struct stat with the stat information for the file. Several developers pointed out that this would make life hard for the bindings developers as struct stat isn't widely supported by other languages. Make git_blob_create_fromfile() stat the path itself, eliminating the need for the file to be stat'ed by the caller. This makes index_init_entry() more costly as the file will be stat'ed twice but makes life easier for everyone else.
Jakob Pfender cbf4f9f4 2011-05-25T16:31:14 common: Include stat.h in include/git2/common.h instead of src/common.h 00582bcb introduced a change to git_blob_create_fromfile() that required the caller to pass a stat struct. This means that we need to include stat.h higher in the hierarchy of includes.
Jakob Pfender 4d7905c5 2011-05-25T16:04:29 blob: Require stat information for git_blob_create_fromfile() In order to be able to write symlinks with git_blob_create_fromfile(), we need to check whether the file to be written is a symbolic link or not. Since the calling function of git_blob_create_fromfile() is likely to have stated the file before calling, we make it pass the stat. The reason for this is that writing symbolic link blobs is significantly different from writing ordinary files - we do not want to open the link destination but instead want to write the link itself, regardless of whether it exists or not. Previously, index_init_entry() used to error out if the file to be added was a symlink that pointed to a nonexistent file. Fix this behaviour to add the file regardless of whether it exists. This mimics git.git's behaviour.

Marc Pegon c09093cc 2011-06-06T10:55:36 Renamed git_oid_match to git_oid_ncmp. As suggested by carlosmn, git_oid_ncmp would probably be a better name than git_oid_match, for it does the same as git_oid_cmp but only up to a certain amount of hex digits.

Vicent Marti d0323a5f 2011-06-01T21:25:56 short-oid: Cleanup
Marc Pegon da03c9f3 2011-05-29T11:45:34 Changed return value of git_oid_match to be consistent with the other compare methods (0 means oids match). Added method to compare prefixes of hex formatted oids.
Marc Pegon ac2b94ad 2011-05-28T21:24:25 Added a GIT_OID_MINPREFIXLEN constant to define the minimum length allowed for oid prefixes (set to 4, like in git). Consequently updated some object lookup methods and their documentation.
Marc Pegon dd453c4d 2011-05-27T22:46:41 Added git.git sha1 lookup method to replace simple binary search in pack backend. Implemented find_unique_short_oid for pack backend, based on git sha1 lookup method; finding an object given its full oid is just a particular case of searching the unique object matching an oid prefix (short oid). Added git_odb_read_unique_short_oid, which iterates over all the backends to find and read the unique object matching the given oid prefix. Added a git_object_lookup_short_oid method to find the unique object in the repository matching a given oid prefix : it generalizes git_object_lookup which now does nothing but calls git_object_lookup_short_oid.
Marc Pegon 53c0bd81 2011-05-27T22:37:10 Added error for ambiguous oid prefixes. Added methods to compare the first nth hexadecimal characters (i.e. packets of 4 bits) of OIDs.
Marc Pegon ecd6fdf1 2011-05-27T18:49:09 Added a read_unique_short_oid method to backends, to make it possible to find objects from sha1 prefixes in the future. Default implementations throw GIT_ENOTIMPLEMENTED for strict prefixes (i.e. length < GIT_OID_HEXSZ).

David Glesser 23123151 2011-05-30T09:03:55 Set the oid when a tag already exists. When a tag already exists, it can be useful to directly have the oid of the existed tag, just after trying to add it.
nulltoken fa9bcd81 2011-05-24T21:48:07 Add git_repository_is_bare() accessor
Vicent Marti b0b527e0 2011-05-20T03:20:12 config: Cleanup & renaming of the external API "git_config_backend" have been renamed to "git_config_file", which implements a generic interface to access a configuration file -- be it either on disk, from a DB or whatever mumbojumbo.

Vicent Marti 40774549 2011-05-11T00:42:43 libgit2 v0.12.0 "absolutely no reason" Hey, welcome to yet another minor libgit2 release. Sorry for the delay from the last one. As you'll see the changelog is quite extensive -- hopefully from now on we'll stick to more frequent minor releases. Together with the usual bugfixes, here's a list of the new key features: * Distfiles This version comes with proper distfiles as requested in #131. These are available in the Downloads section of the GitHub project. * Error handling A new error handling API has been implemented that allows the library to return detailed error messages together with the generic error codes. We hope this will be a great when wrapping and integrating the library New external method to get the last detailed error message: + git_lasterror(void) The old `git_strerror` still exists, but will be deprecated in the future as soon as every method in the library returns a valid error message. The task of writing error messages for every method is quite daunting. We appreciate pull requests with more error messages. Check the new error handling documentation in the following commit: https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/commit/fa59f18d0ddbbb98d45e33934fb0efc3e2bf1557 * Redis backend We now have a Redis backend courtesy of Dmitry Kovega. Just like the SQLite backend, this allows the library to store Git objects in a Redis key-value store. The backend requires the `hiredis` library. Use `--with-redis` when building libgit2 to enable building the backend if `hiredis` is available. * Commits New methods to access tree and parent data as a raw OID value instead of forcing a repository lookup + git_commit_tree_oid(git_commit *commit) + git_commit_parent_oid(git_commit *commit, unsigned int n) * Index The `git_index_add` method has been split into 4 different calls which allow for appending and replacing in-memory entries and on-disk files to the index. + git_index_add(git_index *index, const char *path, int stage) + git_index_add2(git_index *index, const git_index_entry *source_entry) + git_index_append(git_index *index, const char *path, int stage) + git_index_append2(git_index *index, const git_index_entry *source_entry) Index entries can now also be efficiently removed from the index: + git_index_remove(git_index *index, int position) * References Methods to force the creation and renaming of references, even if those already exist on the repository. + git_reference_create_symbolic_f(git_reference **ref_out, git_repository *repo, const char *name, const char *target) + git_reference_create_oid_f(git_reference **ref_out, git_repository *repo, const char *name, const git_oid *id) + git_reference_rename_f(git_reference *ref, const char *new_name) * Repository New auxiliary methods with repository information + git_repository_is_empty(git_repository *repo) + git_repository_path(git_repository *repo) + git_repository_workdir(git_repository *repo) * Signatures New method to create a signature with the current date/time + git_signature_now(const char *name, const char *email) * Tags Several wrappers to automate tag creation. + git_tag_create_frombuffer(git_oid *oid, git_repository *repo, const char *buffer) + git_tag_create_f(git_oid *oid, git_repository *repo, const char *tag_name, const git_oid *target, git_otype target_type, const git_signature *tagger, const char *message); + git_tag_create_fo(git_oid *oid, git_repository *repo, const char *tag_name, const git_object *target, const git_signature *tagger, const char *message) New functionality to delete and list tags in a repository without having to resort to the `references` API. + git_tag_delete(git_repository *repo, const char *tag_name) + git_tag_list(git_strarray *tag_names, git_repository *repo) * Trees All instances of `git_tree_entry` are now returned and handled as constant, to remind the user that these opaque types are not supposed to be manually free'd. The `git_tree_entry_2object` method now takes a `git_repository` argument which defines in which repository the resolved object should be looked up. (It is expected to be the same repository that contains the parent `git_tree` for the entry). + git_tree_entry_2object(git_object **object_out, git_repository *repo, const git_tree_entry *entry) New opaque type `git_treebuilder` with functionality to create and write trees on memory + git_treebuilder_create(git_treebuilder **builder_p, const git_tree *source) + git_treebuilder_clear(git_treebuilder *bld) + git_treebuilder_free(git_treebuilder *bld) + git_treebuilder_get(git_treebuilder *bld, const char *filename) + git_treebuilder_insert(git_tree_entry **entry_out, git_treebuilder *bld, const char *filename, const git_oid *id, unsigned int attributes) + git_treebuilder_remove(git_treebuilder *bld, const char *filename) + git_treebuilder_filter(git_treebuilder *bld, int (*filter)(const git_tree_entry *, void *), void *payload) + git_treebuilder_write(git_oid *oid, git_repository *repo, git_treebuilder *bld) New method to write an index file as a tree to the ODB. + git_tree_create_fromindex(git_oid *oid, git_index *index) Thanks to the usual guility parties that make this this happen, to all the new contributors who are starting to submit pull requests, and to the bindings developers who have to keep up with our shit.

Move the parsing code into src/config_file.c and create an include file include/git2/config_backend.h to allow for other backends to be developed. Signed-off-by: Carlos Martín Nieto <cmn@elego.de>
kelly.leahy ab86f159 2011-05-09T23:39:32 Fix issue #79 - git_lasterror() isn't appearing in git2.dll in windows. The GIT_EXPORT macro is used to declare a function to be externally accessible to other libraries. This commit uses GIT_EXPORT to declare the git_lasterror() function as externally exported. I verified with depends.exe that the function is available to external callers (i.e. in the exports table of the PE file).

Vicent Marti fa59f18d 2011-05-09T20:54:04 Change error handling mechanism once again Ok, this is the real deal. Hopefully. Here's how it's going to work: - One main method, called `git__throw`, that sets the error code and error message when an error happens. This method must be called in every single place where an error code was being returned previously, setting an error message instead. Example, instead of: return GIT_EOBJCORRUPTED; Use: return git__throw(GIT_EOBJCORRUPTED, "The object is missing a finalizing line feed"); And instead of: [...] { error = GIT_EOBJCORRUPTED; goto cleanup; } Use: [...] { error = git__throw(GIT_EOBJCORRUPTED, "What an error!"); goto cleanup; } The **only** exception to this are the allocation methods, which return NULL on failure but already set the message manually. /* only place where an error code can be returned directly, because the error message has already been set by the wrapper */ if (foo == NULL) return GIT_ENOMEM; - One secondary method, called `git__rethrow`, which can be used to fine-grain an error message and build an error stack. Example, instead of: if ((error = foobar(baz)) < GIT_SUCCESS) return error; You can now do: if ((error = foobar(baz)) < GIT_SUCCESS) return git__rethrow(error, "Failed to do a major operation"); The return of the `git_lasterror` method will be a string in the shape of: "Failed to do a major operation. (Failed to do an internal operation)" E.g. "Failed to open the index. (Not enough permissions to access '/path/to/index')." NOTE: do not abuse this method. Try to write all `git__throw` messages in a descriptive manner, to avoid having to rethrow them to clarify their meaning. This method should only be used in the places where the original error message set by a subroutine is not specific enough. It is encouraged to continue using this style as much possible to enforce error propagation: if ((error = foobar(baz)) < GIT_SUCCESS) return error; /* `foobar` has set an error message, and we are just propagating it */ The error handling revamp will take place in two phases: - Phase 1: Replace all pieces of code that return direct error codes with calls to `git__throw`. This can be done semi-automatically using `ack` to locate all the error codes that must be replaced. - Phase 2: Add some `git__rethrow` calls in those cases where the original error messages are not specific enough. Phase 1 is the main goal. A minor libgit2 release will be shipped once Phase 1 is ready, and the work will start on gradually improving the error handling mechanism by refining specific error messages. OTHER NOTES: - When writing error messages, please refrain from using weasel words. They add verbosity to the message without giving any real information. (<3 Emeric) E.g. "The reference file appears to be missing a carriage return" Nope. "The reference file is missing a carriage return" Yes. - When calling `git__throw`, please try to use more generic error codes so we can eventually reduce the list of error codes to something more reasonable. Feel free to add new, more generic error codes if these are going to replace several of the old ones. E.g. return GIT_EREFCORRUPTED; Can be turned into: return git__throw(GIT_EOBJCORRUPTED, "The reference is corrupted");

Vicent Marti f7a5058a 2011-04-24T00:31:43 index: Refactor add/replace methods Removed the optional `replace` argument, we now have 4 add methods: `git_index_add`: add or update from path `git_index_add2`: add or update from struct `git_index_append`: add without replacing from path `git_index_append2`: add without replacing from struct Yes, this breaks the bindings.

Emmanuel Rodriguez 5adb48e4 2011-04-21T21:21:44 LIBGIT2_VER_MINOR now matches LIBGIT2_VERSION (0.11.0) LIBGIT2_VER_MINOR was left at 10 instead of 11.
Jakob Pfender 4c0b6a6d 2011-04-21T10:54:54 index: Add API for unmerged entries New external functions: - git_index_unmerged_entrycount: Counts the unmerged entries in the index - git_index_get_unmerged: Gets an unmerged entry from the index by name New internal functions: - read_unmerged: Wrapper for read_unmerged_internal - read_unmerged_internal: Reads unmerged entries from the index if the index has the INDEX_EXT_UNMERGED_SIG set - unmerged_srch: Search function for unmerged vector - unmerged_cmp: Compare function for unmerged vector New data structures: - git_index now contains a git_vector unmerged that stores unmerged entries - git_index_entry_unmerged: Representation of an unmerged file entry. It represents all three versions of the file at the same time, with one name, three modes and three OIDs
Jakob Pfender 729b6f49 2011-04-21T10:40:54 index: Allow user to toggle whether to replace an index entry When in the middle of a merge, the index needs to contain several files with the same name. git_index_insert() used to prevent this by not adding a new entry if an entry with the same name already existed.
