Edward Thomson 88323cd0 2021-03-20T09:52:17 path: git_path_isvalid -> git_path_validate If we want to validate more and different types of paths, the name `git_path_validate` makes that easier and more expressive. We can add, for example, `git_path_validate_foo` while the current name makes that less ergonomic.
Edward Thomson 7eb21516 2021-02-28T00:20:28 tree: deprecate `git_treebuilder_write_with_buffer` The function `git_treebuilder_write_with_buffer` is unnecessary; it is used internally as part of treebuilder writing, but it has little use to external callers. For callers that repeatedly write a treebuilder, we can supply them with a buffer in the treebuilder struct instead of recreating it. For ourselves, when we want a single buffer in our write loop, we can use an internal function.
Edward Thomson 8613133b 2020-04-05T22:21:30 tree: use GIT_ASSERT
Edward Thomson 3351506a 2020-01-18T17:38:36 tree functions: return an int Stop returning a void for functions, future-proofing them to allow them to fail.
Patrick Steinhardt e54343a4 2019-06-29T09:17:32 fileops: rename to "futils.h" to match function signatures Our file utils functions all have a "futils" prefix, e.g. `git_futils_touch`. One would thus naturally guess that their definitions and implementation would live in files "futils.h" and "futils.c", respectively, but in fact they live in "fileops.h". Rename the files to match expectations.
Edward Thomson 2375be48 2019-05-21T12:57:28 tree: return `size_t` for treebuilder entrycount We keep the treebuilder entrycount as a `size_t` - return that instead of downcasting to an `unsigned int`. Callers who were storing this value in an `unsigned int` will continue to downcast themselves, so there should be no behavior change for callers.
Edward Thomson 5d92e547 2019-06-08T17:28:35 oid: `is_zero` instead of `iszero` The only function that is named `issomething` (without underscore) was `git_oid_iszero`. Rename it to `git_oid_is_zero` for consistency with the rest of the library.
Patrick Steinhardt 03555830 2019-01-23T10:44:33 strmap: introduce high-level setter for key/value pairs Currently, one would use the function `git_strmap_insert` to insert key/value pairs into a map. This function has historically been a macro, which is why its syntax is kind of weird: instead of returning an error code directly, it instead has to be passed a pointer to where the return value shall be stored. This does not match libgit2's common idiom of directly returning error codes. Introduce a new function `git_strmap_set`, which takes as parameters the map, key and value and directly returns an error code. Convert all callers of `git_strmap_insert` to make use of it.
Patrick Steinhardt ef507bc7 2019-01-23T10:44:02 strmap: introduce `git_strmap_get` and use it throughout the tree The current way of looking up an entry from a map is tightly coupled with the map implementation, as one first has to look up the index of the key and then retrieve the associated value by using the index. As a caller, you usually do not care about any indices at all, though, so this is more complicated than really necessary. Furthermore, it invites for errors to happen if the correct error checking sequence is not being followed. Introduce a new high-level function `git_strmap_get` that takes a map and a key and returns a pointer to the associated value if such a key exists. Otherwise, a `NULL` pointer is returned. Adjust all callers that can trivially be converted.
Patrick Steinhardt 7e926ef3 2018-11-30T12:14:43 maps: provide a uniform entry count interface There currently exist two different function names for getting the entry count of maps, where offmaps offset and string maps use `num_entries` and OID maps use `size`. In most programming languages with built-in map types, this is simply called `size`, which is also shorter to type. Thus, this commit renames the other two functions `num_entries` to match the common way and adjusts all callers.
Patrick Steinhardt 351eeff3 2019-01-23T10:42:46 maps: use uniform lifecycle management functions Currently, the lifecycle functions for maps (allocation, deallocation, resize) are not named in a uniform way and do not have a uniform function signature. Rename the functions to fix that, and stick to libgit2's naming scheme of saying `git_foo_new`. This results in the following new interface for allocation: - `int git_<t>map_new(git_<t>map **out)` to allocate a new map, returning an error code if we ran out of memory - `void git_<t>map_free(git_<t>map *map)` to free a map - `void git_<t>map_clear(git<t>map *map)` to remove all entries from a map This commit also fixes all existing callers.
Edward Thomson 3aa6d96a 2019-01-20T20:38:25 tree: cast filename length in git_tree__parse_raw Quiet down a warning from MSVC about how we're potentially losing data. Ensure that we're within a uint16_t before we do.
Edward Thomson f673e232 2018-12-27T13:47:34 git_error: use new names in internal APIs and usage Move to the `git_error` name in the internal API for error-related functions.
Edward Thomson 168fe39b 2018-11-28T14:26:57 object_type: use new enumeration names Use the new object_type enumeration names within the codebase.
Patrick Steinhardt 852bc9f4 2018-11-23T19:26:24 khash: remove intricate knowledge of khash types Instead of using the `khiter_t`, `git_strmap_iter` and `khint_t` types, simply use `size_t` instead. This decouples code from the khash stuff and makes it possible to move the khash includes into the implementation files.
Patrick Steinhardt 7fafec0e 2018-10-29T18:32:39 tree: fix integer overflow when reading unreasonably large filemodes The `parse_mode` option uses an open-coded octal number parser. The parser is quite naive in that it simply parses until hitting a character that is not in the accepted range of '0' - '7', completely ignoring the fact that we can at most accept a 16 bit unsigned integer as filemode. If the filemode is bigger than UINT16_MAX, it will thus overflow and provide an invalid filemode for the object entry. Fix the issue by using `git__strntol32` instead and doing a bounds check. As this function already handles overflows, it neatly solves the problem. Note that previously, `parse_mode` was also skipping the character immediately after the filemode. In proper trees, this should be a simple space, but in fact the parser accepted any character and simply skipped over it. As a consequence of using `git__strntol32`, we now need to an explicit check for a trailing whitespace after having parsed the filemode. Because of the newly introduced error message, the test object::tree::parse::mode_doesnt_cause_oob_read needs adjustment to its error message check, which in fact is a good thing as it demonstrates that we now fail looking for the whitespace immediately following the filemode. Add a test that shows that we will fail to parse such invalid filemodes now.
Patrick Steinhardt f647bbc8 2018-10-29T17:25:09 tree: fix mode parsing reading out-of-bounds When parsing a tree entry's mode, we will eagerly parse until we hit a character that is not in the accepted set of octal digits '0' - '7'. If the provided buffer is not a NUL terminated one, we may thus read out-of-bounds. Fix the issue by passing the buffer length to `parse_mode` and paying attention to it. Note that this is not a vulnerability in our usual code paths, as all object data read from the ODB is NUL terminated.
Carlos Martín Nieto fd490d3e 2018-10-08T13:15:31 tree: unify the entry validity checks We have two similar functions, `git_treebuilder_insert` and `append_entry` which are used in different codepaths as part of creating a new tree. The former learnt to check for object existence under strict object creation, but the latter did not. This allowed the creation of a tree from an unowned index to bypass some of the checks and create a tree pointing to a nonexistent object. Extract a single function which performs these checks and call it from both codepaths. In `append_entry` we still do not validate when asked not to, as this is data which is already in the tree and we want to allow users to deal with repositories which already have some invalid data.
Edward Thomson 85eb2cb6 2018-08-26T11:33:42 Merge pull request #4727 from libgit2/cmn/null-oid-existing-tree tree: accept null ids in existing trees when updating
Carlos Martín Nieto f00db9ed 2018-07-27T12:00:37 tree: rename from_tree to validate and clarify the tree in the test
Carlos Martín Nieto 2dff7e28 2018-07-18T21:04:13 tree: accept null ids in existing trees when updating When we add entries to a treebuilder we validate them. But we validate even those that we're adding because they exist in the base tree. This disables using the normal mechanisms on these trees, even to fix them. Keep track of whether the entry we're appending comes from an existing tree and bypass the name and id validation if it's from existing data.
Patrick Steinhardt 73bd6411 2017-10-13T13:12:17 tree: implement function to parse raw data Currently, parsing objects is strictly tied to having an ODB object available. This makes it hard to parse an object when all that is available is its raw object and size. Furthermore, hacking around that limitation by directly creating an ODB structure either on stack or on heap does not really work that well due to ODB objects being reference counted and then automatically free'd when reaching a reference count of zero. Implement a function `git_tree__parse_raw` to parse a tree object from a pair of `data` and `size`.
Patrick Steinhardt f0a1d76a 2018-06-15T13:21:59 tree: remove unused function `git_tree__prefix_position`
Patrick Steinhardt 31f6b529 2018-06-15T13:21:08 tree: remove unused function `git_tree_entry_icmp`
Patrick Steinhardt ecf4f33a 2018-02-08T11:14:48 Convert usage of `git_buf_free` to new `git_buf_dispose`
Carlos Martín Nieto a7168b47 2018-05-22T16:13:47 path: reject .gitmodules as a symlink Any part of the library which asks the question can pass in the mode to have it checked against `.gitmodules` being a symlink. This is particularly relevant for adding entries to the index from the worktree and for checking out files.
Patrick Steinhardt 06b8a40f 2018-02-16T11:29:46 Explicitly mark fallthrough cases with comments A lot of compilers nowadays generate warnings when there are cases in a switch statement which implicitly fall through to the next case. To avoid this warning, the last line in the case that is falling through can have a comment matching a regular expression, where one possible comment body would be `/* fall through */`. An alternative to the comment would be an explicit attribute like e.g. `[[clang::fallthrough]` or `__attribute__ ((fallthrough))`. But GCC only introduced support for such an attribute recently with GCC 7. Thus, and also because the fallthrough comment is supported by most compilers, we settle for using comments instead. One shortcoming of that method is that compilers are very strict about that. Most interestingly, that comment _really_ has to be the last line. In case a closing brace follows the comment, the heuristic will fail.
Patrick Steinhardt c0487bde 2018-01-12T08:23:43 tree: reject writing null-OID entries to a tree In commit a96d3cc3f (cache-tree: reject entries with null sha1, 2017-04-21), the git.git project has changed its stance on null OIDs in tree objects. Previously, null OIDs were accepted in tree entries to help tools repair broken history. This resulted in some problems though in that many code paths mistakenly passed null OIDs to be added to a tree, which was not properly detected. Align our own code base according to the upstream change and reject writing tree entries early when the OID is all-zero.
Edward Thomson 2c99011a 2017-12-31T09:33:19 tree: standard error messages are lowercase Our standard error messages begin with a lower case letter so that they can be prefixed or embedded nicely. These error messages were missed during the standardization pass since they use the `tree_error` helper function.
Patrick Steinhardt 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.
Patrick Steinhardt 06abbb7f 2017-03-27T13:14:48 treebuilder: exit early if running OOM in `write_with_buffer` While writing the tree inside of a buffer, we check whether the buffer runs out of memory after each tree entry. While we set the error code as soon as we detect the OOM situation, we happily proceed iterating over the entries. This is not useful at all, as we will try to write into the buffer repeatedly, which cannot work. Fix this by exiting as soon as we are OOM.
Patrick Steinhardt 8d1e71f5 2017-03-27T13:14:05 treebuilder: remove shadowing variable in `write_with_buffer` The `git_tree_entry *entry` variable is defined twice inside of this function. While this is not a problem currently, remove the shadowing variable to avoid future confusion.
Patrick Steinhardt 4f9327fa 2017-03-27T13:11:38 treebuilder: fix memory leaks in `write_with_buffer` While we detect errors in `git_treebuilder_write_with_buffer`, we just exit directly instead of freeing allocated memory. Fix this by remembering error codes and skipping forward to the function's cleanup code.
Patrick Steinhardt 13c3bc9a 2017-01-27T14:32:23 strmap: remove GIT__USE_STRMAP macro
Patrick Steinhardt 73028af8 2017-01-27T14:20:24 khash: avoid using macro magic to get return address
Edward Thomson 44e8af8f 2017-01-21T22:51:50 Merge pull request #3892 from mitesch/shared_buffer Use a shared buffer in calls of git_treebuilder_write to avoid heap contention
Edward Thomson 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
Michael Tesch 87aaefe2 2016-08-09T12:23:19 write_tree: use shared buffer for writing trees The function to write trees allocates a new buffer for each tree. This causes problems with performance when performing a lot of actions involving writing trees, e.g. when doing many merges. Fix the issue by instead handing in a shared buffer, which is then re-used across the calls without having to re-allocate between calls.
Carlos Martín Nieto 89776585 2016-11-14T12:44:52 tree: look for conflicts in the new tree when updating We look at whether we're trying to replace a blob with a tree during the update phase, but we fail to look at whether we've just inserted a blob where we're now trying to insert a tree. Update the check to look at both places. The test for this was previously succeeding due to the bu where we did not look at the sorted output.
Carlos Martín Nieto b85929c5 2016-11-14T12:44:01 tree: use the sorted update list in our loop The loop is made with the assumption that the inputs are sorted and not using it leads to bad outputs.
Patrick Steinhardt 901434b0 2016-11-14T10:07:37 common: cast precision specifiers to int
Patrick Steinhardt 4974e3a5 2016-10-07T09:18:55 tree: validate filename and OID length when parsing object When parsing tree entries from raw object data, we do not verify that the tree entry actually has a filename as well as a valid object ID. Fix this by asserting that the filename length is non-zero as well as asserting that there are at least `GIT_OID_RAWSZ` bytes left when parsing the OID.
Edward Thomson fdf14637 2016-05-26T00:58:43 Merge pull request #3792 from edquist/misc Fix comment for GIT_FILEMODE_LINK
Carlos Martín Nieto a2cb4713 2016-05-24T14:30:43 tree: handle removal of all entries in the updater When we remove all entries in a tree, we should remove that tree from its parent rather than include the empty tree.
Carlos Martín Nieto 53412305 2016-05-19T15:29:53 tree: plug leaks in the tree updater
Carlos Martín Nieto 6ee08d2c 2016-05-19T15:22:02 tree: use the basename for the entry removal When we want to remove the file, use the basename as the name of the entry to remove, instead of the full one, which includes the directories we've inserted into the stack.
Carl Edquist c8fb2e15 2016-05-18T16:00:01 Fix comment for GIT_FILEMODE_LINK 0120000 is symbolic link, not commit
Carlos Martín Nieto 9464f9eb 2016-05-02T17:36:58 Introduce a function to create a tree based on a different one Instead of going through the usual steps of reading a tree recursively into an index, modifying it and writing it back out as a tree, introduce a function to perform simple updates more efficiently. `git_tree_create_updated` avoids reading trees which are not modified and supports upsert and delete operations. It is not as versatile as modifying the index, but it makes some common operations much more efficient.
Carlos Martín Nieto f5c874a4 2016-03-29T14:47:31 Plug a few leaks
Edward Thomson e2e4bae9 2016-03-22T00:18:44 tree: drop the now-unnecessary entries vector Remove the now-unnecessary entries vector. Add `git_array_search` to binary search through an array to accomplish this.
Carlos Martín Nieto 4ed9e939 2016-03-20T12:01:45 tree: store the entries in a growable array Take advantage of the constant size of tree-owned arrays and store them in an array instead of a pool. This still lets us free them all at once but lets the system allocator do the work of fitting them in.
Carlos Martín Nieto 60a194aa 2016-03-20T11:00:12 tree: re-use the id and filename in the odb object Instead of copying over the data into the individual entries, point to the originals, which are already in a format we can use.
Carlos Martín Nieto ea5bf6bb 2016-03-04T12:34:38 treebuilder: don't try to verify submodules exist in the odb Submodules don't exist in the objectdb and the code is making us try to look for a blob with its commit id, which is obviously not going to work. Skip the test if the user wants to insert a submodule.
Edward Thomson 2bbc7d3e 2016-02-23T15:00:27 treebuilder: validate tree entries (optionally) When `GIT_OPT_ENABLE_STRICT_OBJECT_CREATION` is turned on, validate the tree and parent ids given to treebuilder insertion.
Edward Thomson aadad405 2016-02-11T14:28:31 tree: zap warnings around `size_t` vs `uint16_t`
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.
Carlos Martín Nieto 0174f21b 2015-12-02T18:56:31 tree: use a specialised mode parse function Instead of going out to strtol, which is made to parse generic numbers, copy a parse function from git which is specialised for file modes.
Patrick Steinhardt 9487585d 2015-12-01T14:19:29 tree: mark cloned tree entries as un-pooled When duplicating a `struct git_tree_entry` with `git_tree_entry_dup` the resulting structure is not allocated inside a memory pool. As we do a 1:1 copy of the original struct, though, we also copy the `pooled` field, which is set to `true` for pooled entries. This results in a huge memory leak as we never free tree entries that were duplicated from a pooled tree entry. Fix this by marking the newly duplicated entry as un-pooled.
Carlos Martín Nieto 95ae3520 2015-11-30T17:32:18 tree: ensure the entry filename fits in 16 bits Return an error in case the length is too big. Also take this opportunity to have a single allocating function for the size and overflow logic.
Carlos Martín Nieto ee42bb0e 2015-11-28T19:18:29 tree: make path len uint16_t and avoid holes This reduces the size of the struct from 32 to 26 bytes, and leaves a single padding byte at the end of the struct (which comes from the zero-length array).
Carlos Martín Nieto 2580077f 2015-11-15T00:44:02 tree: calculate the filename length once We already know the size due to the `memchr()` so use that information instead of calling `strlen()` on it.
Carlos Martín Nieto ed970748 2015-11-14T23:50:06 tree: pool the entry memory allocations These are rather small allocations, so we end up spending a non-trivial amount of time asking the OS for memory. Since these entries are tied to the lifetime of their tree, we can give the tree a pool so we speed up the allocations.
Carlos Martín Nieto 7132150d 2015-11-14T23:46:21 tree: avoid advancing over the filename multiple times We've already looked at the filename with `memchr()` and then used `strlen()` to allocate the entry. We already know how much we have to advance to get to the object id, so add the filename length instead of looking at each byte again.
Carlos Martín Nieto 84511143 2015-03-12T01:49:07 tree: add more correct error messages for not found Don't use the full path, as that's not what we are asserting does not exist, but just the subpath we were looking up.
Stefan Widgren c8e02b87 2015-02-15T21:07:05 Remove extra semicolon outside of a function Without this change, compiling with gcc and pedantic generates warning: ISO C does not allow extra ‘;’ outside of a function.
Edward Thomson 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.
Edward Thomson 2884cc42 2015-02-11T09:39:38 overflow checking: don't make callers set oom Have the ALLOC_OVERFLOW testing macros also simply set_oom in the case where a computation would overflow, so that callers don't need to.
Edward Thomson 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.
Carlos Martín Nieto 208a2c8a 2014-12-27T12:09:11 treebuilder: rename _create() to _new() This function is a constructor, so let's name it like one and leave _create() for the reference functions, which do create/write the reference.
Edward Thomson dce7b1a4 2014-12-16T19:24:04 treebuilder: take a repository for path validation Path validation may be influenced by `core.protectHFS` and `core.protectNTFS` configuration settings, thus treebuilders can take a repository to influence their configuration.
Vicent Marti 62155257 2014-11-25T00:14:52 tree: Check for `.git` with case insensitivy
Carlos Martín Nieto 7465e873 2014-09-29T09:07:41 index: fill the tree cache on write-tree An obvious place to fill the tree cache is on write-tree, as we're guaranteed to be able to fill in the whole tree cache. The way this commit does this is not the most efficient, as we read the root tree from the odb instead of filling in the cache as we go along, but it fills the cache such that successive operations (and persisting the index to disk) will be able to take advantage of the cache, and it reuses the code we already have for filling the cache. Filling in the cache as we create the trees would require some reallocation of the children vector, which is currently not possible with out pool implementation. A different data structure would likely allow us to perform this operation at a later date.
Carlos Martín Nieto c2f8b215 2014-09-28T07:00:49 index: write out the tree cache extension Keeping the cache around after read-tree is only one part of the optimisation opportunities. In order to share the cache between program instances, we need to write the TREE extension to the index. Do so, taking the opportunity to rename 'entries' to 'entry_count' to match the name given in the format description. The included test is rather trivial, but works as a sanity check.
Carlos Martín Nieto 966fb207 2014-06-25T21:25:44 tree: free in error conditions As reported by coverity, we would leak some memory in error conditions.
Carlos Martín Nieto fcc60066 2014-06-09T22:59:32 treentry: no need for manual size book-keeping We can simply ask the hasmap.
Carlos Martín Nieto 978fbb4c 2014-06-09T22:45:23 treebuilder: don't keep removed entries around If the user wants to keep a copy for themselves, they should make a copy. It adds unnecessary complexity to make sure the returned entries are valid until the builder is cleared.
Carlos Martín Nieto 4d3f1f97 2014-06-09T04:38:22 treebuilder: use a map instead of vector to store the entries Finding a filename in a vector means we need to resort it every time we want to read from it, which includes every time we want to write to it as well, as we want to find duplicate keys. A hash-map fits what we want to do much more accurately, as we do not care about sorting, but just the particular filename. We still keep removed entries around, as the interface let you assume they were going to be around until the treebuilder is cleared or freed, but in this case that involves an append to a vector in the filter case, which can now fail. The only time we care about sorting is when we write out the tree, so let's make that the only time we do any sorting.
Carlos Martín Nieto 2c11d2ee 2014-06-09T23:23:53 treebuilder: insert sorted By inserting in the right position, we can keep the vector sorted, making entry insertion almost twice as fast.
Russell Belfer 882c7742 2014-02-04T10:01:37 Convert pqueue to just be a git_vector This updates the git_pqueue to simply be a set of specialized init/insert/pop functions on a git_vector. To preserve the pqueue feature of having a fixed size heap, I converted the "sorted" field in git_vectors to a more general "flags" field so that pqueue could mix in it's own flag. This had a bunch of ramifications because a number of places were directly looking at the vector "sorted" field - I added a couple new git_vector helpers (is_sorted, set_sorted) so the specific representation of this information could be abstracted.
Carlos Martín Nieto f000ee4e 2014-01-24T18:23:46 tree: remove legacy 'oid' naming Rename git_tree_entry_byoid() to _byid() as per the convention.

Russell Belfer 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.
Russell Belfer 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.

Russell Belfer f240acce 2013-09-05T11:20:12 Add more file mode permissions macros This adds some more macros for some standard operations on file modes, particularly related to permissions, and then updates a number of places around the code base to use the new macros.
Russell Belfer 114f5a6c 2013-06-10T10:10:39 Reorganize diff and add basic diff driver This is a significant reorganization of the diff code to break it into a set of more clearly distinct files and to document the new organization. Hopefully this will make the diff code easier to understand and to extend. This adds a new `git_diff_driver` object that looks of diff driver information from the attributes and the config so that things like function content in diff headers can be provided. The full driver spec is not implemented in the commit - this is focused on the reorganization of the code and putting the driver hooks in place. This also removes a few #includes from src/repository.h that were overbroad, but as a result required extra #includes in a variety of places since including src/repository.h no longer results in pulling in the whole world.
Russell Belfer 58206c9a 2013-05-16T10:38:27 Add cat-file example and increase const use in API This adds an example implementation that emulates git cat-file. It is a convenient and relatively simple example of getting data out of a repository. Implementing this also revealed that there are a number of APIs that are still not using const pointers to objects that really ought to be. The main cause of this is that `git_vector_bsearch` may need to call `git_vector_sort` before doing the search, so a const pointer to the vector is not allowed. However, for tree objects, with a little care, we can ensure that the vector of tree entries is always sorted and allow lookups to take a const pointer. Also, the missing const in commit objects just looks like an oversight.

Russell Belfer 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.

Russell Belfer 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.
