Romain Geissler ff9a4c13 2011-06-06T17:14:30 Tree: Added a function that returns the type of a tree entry.
Vicent Marti 602ee38b 2011-06-04T20:44:14 repository: Export all internal paths
Vicent Martí 793545ef 2011-06-03T17:41:53 Merge pull request #227 from Romain-Geissler/discovery-path-v2 Discovery path v2
Romain Geissler fd0574e5 2011-06-04T01:01:20 Repository: Added the git_repository_discover function that finds by itself the git directory that manage a given directory path.
Vicent Marti 3a42e0a3 2011-06-03T21:38:55 index: Add `git_index_entry_stage` method As suggested by Romain-Geissler
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).
Vicent Martí 50b7334e 2011-06-01T09:58:21 Merge pull request #206 from nulltoken/topic/is-bare 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. I think this makes more sense.

Vicent Marti f4a936b5 2011-05-11T00:35:05 Bring back `git_strerror` We cannot totally deprecate this until the new error handling mechanisms are all in place.
Carlos Martín Nieto c0335005 2011-05-06T12:42:47 Move config to a backend structure Configuration options can come from different sources. Currently, there is only support for reading them from a flat file, but it might make sense to read it from a database at some point. 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 5711ca93 2011-05-09T21:58:26 Merge branch 'error-handling' into development
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");

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.

Vicent Marti 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>

Vicent Marti 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.
