Edward Thomson 8f09a98e 2016-07-14T16:23:24 odb: freshen existing objects when writing When writing an object, we calculate its OID and see if it exists in the object database. If it does, we need to freshen the file that contains it.
Edward Thomson 002c8e29 2016-08-03T17:09:41 git_diff_file: move `id_abbrev` Move `id_abbrev` to a more reasonable place where it packs more nicely (before anybody starts using it).
Edward Thomson 152efee2 2016-08-02T18:43:12 Merge pull request #3865 from libgit2/ethomson/leaks Fix leaks, some warnings and an error
Edward Thomson 60e15ecd 2016-07-15T17:18:39 packbuilder: `size_t` all the things After 1cd65991, we were passing a pointer to an `unsigned long` to a function that now expected a pointer to a `size_t`. These types differ on 64-bit Windows, which means that we trash the stack. Use `size_t`s in the packbuilder to avoid this.
David Turner d81cb2e4 2016-07-15T13:32:23 remote: Handle missing config values when deleting a remote Somehow I ended up with the following in my ~/.gitconfig: [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = master rebase = true I assume something went crazy while I was running the git.git tests some time ago, and that I never noticed until now. This is not a good configuration, but it shouldn't cause problems. But it does. Specifically, if you have this in your config, and you perform the following set of actions: create a remote fetch from that remote create a branch off of the remote master branch called "master" delete the branch delete the remote The remote delete fails with the message "Could not find key 'branch.master.rebase' to delete". This is because it's iterating over the config entries (including the ones in the global config) and believes that there is a master branch which must therefore have these config keys. https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/3856
Andrius Bentkus f1dba144 2016-07-05T09:41:51 Add get user agent functionality.
Josh Triplett 2b80260e 2016-06-30T08:08:36 CHANGELOG.md: Document new flags for git_repository_open_ext Document GIT_REPOSITORY_OPEN_NO_DOTGIT and GIT_REPOSITORY_OPEN_FROM_ENV.
Josh Triplett 04d6ab6c 2016-06-30T08:08:06 CHANGELOG.md: Document behavior change in repository discovery
Carlos Martín Nieto 6669e3e8 2015-11-08T04:28:08 blob: remove _fromchunks() The callback mechanism makes it awkward to write data from an IO source; move to `_fromstream()` which lets the caller remain in control, in the same vein as we prefer iterators over foreach callbacks.
Carlos Martín Nieto e2bb9ed3 2015-11-04T10:39:55 CHANGELOG: add a note about _fromstream() and _fromstream_commit()
Carlos Martín Nieto cec320fe 2016-03-22T00:44:05 Merge pull request #3701 from jfultz/fix-0.24.0-changelog Fix some errors I found in the changelog for 0.24.0
John Fultz 0b24855e 2016-03-18T15:03:08 Fix some errors I found in the changelog for 0.24.0
Edward Thomson 30a94ab7 2015-12-24T22:52:23 merge driver: allow custom default driver Allow merge users to configure a custom default merge driver via `git_merge_options`. Similarly, honor the `merge.default` configuration option.
Carlos Martín Nieto 47cb42da 2016-03-03T22:56:02 commit: split creating the commit and writing it out Sometimes you want to create a commit but not write it out to the objectdb immediately. For these cases, provide a new function to retrieve the buffer instead of having to go through the db.
Carlos Martín Nieto c21c8f67 2016-03-03T20:18:55 CHANGELOG: prepre tamplate for release
Carlos Martín Nieto a7ef27af 2016-03-03T20:17:13 CHANGELOG: add note about WinHTTP cred handling
Edward Thomson f2dddf52 2016-02-28T15:51:38 turn on strict object validation by default
Carlos Martín Nieto 88ab3be6 2016-02-22T15:41:01 Fix a few checkout -> rebase typos
Carlos Martín Nieto f596946f 2016-02-19T13:52:04 CHANGELOG: add a few missing changes
Carlos Martín Nieto 82885255 2015-12-09T13:57:15 CHANGELOG: add some things we missed
Carlos Martín Nieto fc436469 2015-12-06T22:51:00 tree: mark a tree as already sorted The trees are sorted on-disk, so we don't have to go over them again. This cuts almost a fifth of time spent parsing trees.
Edward Thomson fa78782f 2015-10-22T17:00:09 merge: rename `git_merge_tree_flags_t` -> `git_merge_flags_t`
Carlos Martín Nieto ecdc0428 2015-11-12T19:20:36 Merge pull request #3448 from libgit2/cmn/custom-agent Support setting custom user-agent
Carlos Martín Nieto 027bbaa7 2015-11-12T17:20:30 CHANGELOG: add note about custom user-agent
Carlos Martín Nieto ad8509ef 2015-11-12T11:54:06 index: overwrite the path when inserting conflicts When we insert a conflict in a case-insensitive index, accept the new entry's path as the correct case instead of leaving the path we already had. This puts `git_index_conflict_add()` on the same level as `git_index_add()` in this respect.
Carlos Martín Nieto 7fafde63 2015-10-13T11:25:41 stream: allow registering a user-provided TLS constructor This allows the application to use their own TLS stream, regardless of the capabilities of libgit2 itself.
Jason Haslam 3138ad93 2015-07-16T10:17:16 Add diff progress callback.
Edward Thomson a32bc85e 2015-08-07T12:43:49 git_index_add: allow case changing renames On case insensitive platforms, allow `git_index_add` to provide a new path for an existing index entry. Previously, we would maintain the case in an index entry without the ability to change it (except by removing an entry and re-adding it.) Higher-level functions (like `git_index_add_bypath` and `git_index_add_frombuffers`) continue to keep the old path for easier usage.
Carlos Martín Nieto d83b2e9f 2015-09-05T03:54:06 filebuf: follow symlinks when creating a lock file We create a lockfile to update files under GIT_DIR. Sometimes these files are actually located elsewhere and a symlink takes their place. In that case we should lock and update the file at its final location rather than overwrite the symlink.
Arthur Schreiber fec4a68c 2015-08-26T23:08:03 Fix a typo [ci skip]
Carlos Martín Nieto 5340d63d 2015-07-12T12:50:23 config: perform unlocking via git_transaction This makes the API for commiting or discarding changes the same as for references.
Carlos Martín Nieto 36f784b5 2015-06-01T20:02:23 config: expose locking via the main API This lock/unlock pair allows for the cller to lock a configuration file to avoid concurrent operations. It also allows for a transactional approach to updating a configuration file. If multiple updates must be made atomically, they can be done while the config is locked.
Carlos Martín Nieto 01d0c02d 2015-07-12T19:08:06 refdb: delete a ref's reflog upon deletion Removing a reflog upon ref deletion is something which only some backends might wish to do. Backends which are database-backed may wish to archive a reflog, log-based ones may not need to do anything.
Carlos Martín Nieto 1cd96016 2015-07-10T19:32:04 Merge pull request #3301 from ethomson/warnings Clean up some warnings
Edward Thomson 9a99ca7b 2015-07-10T09:25:45 wildcard filters: move CHANGELOG message to 0.23+1
Edward Thomson 79698030 2015-06-29T22:51:18 git_cert: child types use proper base type
Carlos Martín Nieto 9847d80d 2015-07-09T18:21:31 Merge pull request #3281 from ethomson/wildcard_filters filters: custom filters with wildcard attributes
Carlos Martín Nieto 159061a8 2015-07-06T16:23:44 Update CHANGELOG with the release number
Carlos Martín Nieto 34065968 2015-07-01T17:49:07 submodule: completely remove reload_all The function was removed, but its declaration and changelog entry about its removal were forgotten. The comment in the test doesn't make any sense as the function doesn't exist anymore, so get rid of it as well.
Edward Thomson 63924435 2015-07-01T09:40:11 filters: custom filters with wildcard attributes Allow custom filters with wildcard attributes, so that clients can support some random `filter=foo` in a .gitattributes and look up the corresponding smudge/clean commands in the configuration file.
Carlos Martín Nieto ca2466ff 2015-06-29T15:02:19 CHANGELOG: add submodule changes
Edward Thomson c0280bdd 2015-06-25T18:55:48 Merge pull request #3255 from libgit2/cmn/rename-unspecified Rename FALLBACK to UNSPECIFIED
Edward Thomson 87987fd1 2015-06-25T15:26:43 Merge pull request #3246 from libgit2/cmn/dont-grow-borrowed Don't allow growing borrowed buffers
Carlos Martín Nieto c2418f46 2015-06-25T12:48:44 Rename FALLBACK to UNSPECIFIED Fallback describes the mechanism, while unspecified explains what the user is thinking.
Carlos Martín Nieto 3cf91d98 2015-06-24T20:21:54 Add CHANGELOG entries
Carlos Martín Nieto ede517bc 2015-06-06T09:40:50 curl: add CHANGELOG and THREADING entries
Edward Thomson bd670abd 2015-06-23T23:30:58 Merge pull request #3226 from libgit2/cmn/racy-diff-again racy-git, the missing link
Carlos Martín Nieto bb4896f2 2015-06-22T14:20:13 Add a note about racy-git in CHANGELOG
Carlos Martín Nieto a3f42fe8 2015-06-22T15:32:29 commit: allow retrieving an arbitrary header field This allows the user to look up fields which we don't parse in libgit2, and allows them to access gpgsig or mergetag fields if they wish to check the signature.
Edward Thomson 0e522f6e 2015-06-12T09:28:19 binary diff: document changes in CHANGELOG
Edward Thomson 2eecc288 2015-06-10T14:43:49 Introduce `git_filter_list_contains` `git_filter_list_contains` can be used to query a filter list to determine if a given filter will be run.
Patrick Steinhardt 771069e1 2015-05-21T12:46:04 Add CHANGELOG entry for url.*.insteadOf feature.
Carlos Martín Nieto a5670d4f 2015-05-29T20:09:46 CHANGELOG: fill in a few missing entries
Edward Thomson 885b94aa 2015-05-28T15:26:13 Rename GIT_EMERGECONFLICT to GIT_ECONFLICT We do not error on "merge conflicts"; on the contrary, merge conflicts are a normal part of merging. We only error on "checkout conflicts", where a change exists in the index or the working directory that would otherwise be overwritten by performing the checkout. This *may* happen during merge (after the production of the new index that we're going to checkout) but it could happen during any checkout.
Carlos Martín Nieto ff8d635a 2015-05-28T18:45:57 Merge pull request #3139 from ethomson/diff_conflicts Include conflicts when diffing
Carlos Martín Nieto 2b922832 2015-05-28T16:09:17 Merge pull request #3127 from libgit2/cmn/remote-fixups Tackle remote API issues from bindings
Edward Thomson 10549a2d 2015-05-19T18:26:04 Introduce `GIT_DIFF_FLAG_EXISTS` Mark the `old_file` and `new_file` sides of a delta with a new bit, `GIT_DIFF_FLAG_EXISTS`, that introduces that a particular side of the delta exists in the diff. This is useful for indicating whether a working directory item exists or not, in the presence of a conflict. Diff users may have previously used DELETED to determine this information.
Edward Thomson 9f545b9d 2015-05-19T11:23:59 introduce `git_index_entry_is_conflict` It's not always obvious the mapping between stage level and conflict-ness. More importantly, this can lead otherwise sane people to write constructs like `if (!git_index_entry_stage(entry))`, which (while technically correct) is unreadable. Provide a nice method to help avoid such messy thinking.
Edward Thomson 7c948014 2015-05-14T14:00:29 diff/status: introduce conflicts When diffing against an index, return a new `GIT_DELTA_CONFLICTED` delta type for items that are conflicted. For a single file path, only one delta will be produced (despite the fact that there are multiple entries in the index). Index iterators now have the (optional) ability to return conflicts in the index. Prior to this change, they would be omitted, and callers (like diff) would omit conflicted index entries entirely.
Edward Thomson ecd60a56 2015-05-14T11:52:48 conflicts: when adding conflicts, remove staged When adding a conflict for some path, remove the staged entry. Otherwise, an illegal index (with both stage 0 and high-stage entries) would result.
Carlos Martín Nieto ae5b9362 2015-05-17T15:11:45 remote: remove fetch parameter from create_anonymous An anonymous remote is not configured and cannot therefore have configured refspecs. Remove the parameter which adds this from the constructor.
Carlos Martín Nieto 1396c381 2015-05-18T16:04:55 errors: add GIT_EEOF to indicate early EOF This can be used by tools to show mesages about failing to communicate with the server. The error message in this case will often contain the server's error message, as far as it managed to send anything.
Carlos Martín Nieto e3435673 2015-05-18T15:51:55 ssh: read from stderr if stdout is empty When we fail to read from stdout, it's typically because the URL was wrong and the server process has sent some output over its stderr output. Read that output and set the error message to whatever we read from it.
Carlos Martín Nieto 70f7484d 2015-05-14T09:35:08 remote: get rid of the run-time refspec setters These were left over from the culling as it's not clear which use-cases might benefit from this. It is not clear that we want to support any use-case which depends on changing the remote's idea of the base refspecs rather than passing in different per-operation refspec list, so remove these functions.
Carlos Martín Nieto 9663d1bd 2015-05-14T08:29:50 Fix typos in the CHANGELOG
Carlos Martín Nieto 874cc35a 2015-05-14T15:24:15 index: add a CHANGELOG entry for the diff usage
Carlos Martín Nieto 98270f56 2015-05-14T08:26:02 Add CHANGELOG entry for index entry changes
Carlos Martín Nieto b1ae3e53 2015-04-26T02:20:22 Update CHANGELOG with the changes to the remotes
Edward Thomson 1f1f5c63 2015-05-11T14:10:24 checkout: better document the `baseline_index` opt
Edward Thomson 15fdf054 2015-05-11T14:06:47 stash application: document new API in CHANGELOG
Jameson Miller bf2ba529 2015-04-30T10:57:13 Update documentation for API changes
Carlos Martín Nieto 85247df0 2015-03-19T14:26:07 Update THREADING and CHANGELOG with SecureTransport details
Edward Thomson aa9bb425 2015-04-20T17:22:39 rebase: correct documentation, CHANGELOG
Edward Thomson f3a199dd 2015-03-17T15:53:04 rebase: init and open take a rebase_options `git_rebase_init` and `git_rebase_open` should take a `git_rebase_options` and use it for future rebase operations on that `rebase` object.
Edward Thomson eaf0d688 2015-03-17T17:53:07 rebase: block rebase_commit with unstaged changes
Edward Thomson 30640aa9 2015-03-17T10:04:08 rebase: identify a rebase that has not started In `git_rebase_operation_current()`, indicate when a rebase has not started (with `GIT_REBASE_NO_OPERATION`) rather than conflating that with the first operation being in-progress.
Edward Thomson 95d1624b 2015-03-24T08:34:12 Merge pull request #2947 from libgit2/cmn/notes-buf note: use a git_buf to return the default namespace
Shawn Landden b8c50808 2015-03-20T10:18:12 fix changelog
Edward Thomson 89ba9f1a 2015-03-18T13:17:04 Merge pull request #2967 from jacquesg/merge-whitespace Allow merges of files (and trees) with whitespace problems/fixes
Carlos Martín Nieto 385449b1 2015-03-04T01:23:20 note: use a git_buf to return the default namespace The caller has otherwise no way to know how long the string will be allocated or ability to free it. This fixes #2944.
Jacques Germishuys 70b0f128 2015-03-17T16:34:36 Added changelog entries for whitespace and patience merges.
Carlos Martín Nieto 8acf058f 2015-03-07T12:09:41 CHANGELOG: add notes about the annotated ref-modifying functions
Edward Thomson 12e1fff7 2015-03-12T18:04:25 Merge pull request #2973 from libgit2/cmn/local-pack-threading local: create pack with multiple threads
Carlos Martín Nieto 15f58174 2015-03-11T17:55:39 Merge commit 'refs/pull/2879/head' of ssh://github.com/libgit2/libgit2
Carlos Martín Nieto 0ef54a63 2015-03-11T17:16:39 local: create pack with multiple threads The default behaviour for the packbuilder is to perform the work in a single thread, which is fine for the public API, but we currently have no way for a user to determine the number of threads to use when creating the packfile, which makes our clone behaviour over the filesystem quite a bit slower than what git offers. This is a very particular scenario, in which we avoid spawning git by being ourselves the server-side, so it's probably ok to auto-set the threading, as the upload-pack process would do if we were talking to git.
Carlos Martín Nieto d578b45f 2015-03-08T16:46:33 refdb: use the same id for old and new when renaming a reference When we rename a reference, we want the old and new ids to be the same one (as we did not change it). The normal code path looks up the old id from the current value of the brtanch, but by the time we look it up, it does not exist anymore and thus we write a zero id. Pass the old id explicitly instead.
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.
Carlos Martín Nieto 41513659 2015-02-06T23:46:23 Update CHANGELOG with the reflog ident changes
Carlos Martín Nieto 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.
Edward Thomson 96b82b11 2015-02-14T11:44:05 checkout: remove `GIT_CHECKOUT_SAFE_CREATE` as a strategy
Damien PROFETA a275fbc0 2015-02-05T11:40:16 Add API to add a memory buffer to an index git_index_add_frombuffer enables now to store a memory buffer in the odb and to store an entry in the index directly if the index is attached to a repository.
Edward Thomson 1ac5acdc 2015-01-26T11:28:59 Merge pull request #2819 from libgit2/cmn/config-get-path config: add parsing and getter for paths
Sven Strickroth 0161e096 2014-11-13T19:30:47 Make binary detection work similar to vanilla git Main change: Don't treat chars > 128 as non-printable (common in UTF-8 files) Signed-off-by: Sven Strickroth <email@cs-ware.de>
Carlos Martín Nieto eac773d9 2015-01-14T15:05:43 config: add parsing and getter for paths
Edward Thomson 4d6f55ac 2015-01-14T10:26:26 CHANGELOG: include small file similarity detection
Carlos Martín Nieto 16bcf0c7 2015-01-13T19:29:00 Pre-fill the changelog with the subheadings
Carlos Martín Nieto b91f28be 2015-01-10T00:49:20 Reformat the changelog This should provide a easier way to see what kinds of changes we have, and a single place to look at the breaking changes.
Edward Thomson 61cd037e 2015-01-06T17:18:57 CHANGELOG: we've added git_describe
Edward Thomson 974d21c8 2015-01-05T15:10:38 CHANGELOG: add missing 0.22 changes
Carlos Martín Nieto c8b64f70 2015-01-05T20:20:08 Fix the version in CHANGELOG to 0.22 The release after 0.21 is 0.22. Add a new heading for the changes since 0.22.
