Make diff and status perform soft index reload This changes `git_index_read` to have two modes - a hard index reload that always resets the index to match the on-disk data (which was the old behavior) and a soft index reload that uses the timestamp / file size information and only replaces the index data if the file on disk has been modified. This then updates the git_status code to do a soft reload unless the new GIT_STATUS_OPT_NO_REFRESH flag is passed in. This also changes the behavior of the git_diff functions that use the index so that when an index is not explicitly passed in (i.e. when the functions call git_repository_index for you), they will also do a soft reload for you. This intentionally breaks the file signature of git_index_read because there has been some confusion about the behavior previously and it seems like all existing uses of the API should probably be examined to select the desired behavior.

libgit2
is a portable, pure C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a
re-entrant linkable library with a solid API, allowing you to write native
speed custom Git applications in any language with bindings.
libgit2
is licensed under a very permissive license (GPLv2 with a special Linking Exception).
This basically means that you can link it (unmodified) with any kind of software without having to
release its source code.
libgit2
is already very usable and is being used in production for many applications including the GitHub.com site, in Plastic SCM
and also powering Microsoft’s Visual Studio tools for Git. The library provides:
While the library provides git functionality without the need for dependencies, it can make use of a few libraries to add to it:
libgit2
builds cleanly on most platforms without any external dependencies.
Under Unix-like systems, like Linux, *BSD and Mac OS X, libgit2 expects pthreads
to be available;
they should be installed by default on all systems. Under Windows, libgit2 uses the native Windows API
for threading.
The libgit2
library is built using CMake 2.6+
(http://www.cmake.org) on all platforms.
On most systems you can build the library using the following commands
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ cmake --build .
Alternatively you can point the CMake GUI tool to the CMakeLists.txt file and generate platform specific build project or IDE workspace.
To install the library you can specify the install prefix by setting:
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/install/prefix
$ cmake --build . --target install
For more advanced use or questions about CMake please read http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ.
The following CMake variables are declared:
BIN_INSTALL_DIR
: Where to install binaries to. LIB_INSTALL_DIR
: Where to install libraries to. INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR
: Where to install headers to. BUILD_SHARED_LIBS
: Build libgit2 as a Shared Library (defaults to ON) BUILD_CLAR
: Build Clar-based test suite (defaults to ON) THREADSAFE
: Build libgit2 with threading support (defaults to OFF) STDCALL
: Build libgit2 as stdcall
. Turn off for cdecl
(Windows; defaults to ON) CMake lets you specify a few variables to control the behavior of the compiler and linker. These flags are rarely used but can be useful for 64-bit to 32-bit cross-compilation.
CMAKE_C_FLAGS
: Set your own compiler flags CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH
: Override the search path for libraries ZLIB_LIBRARY
, OPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARY
AND OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY
:
Tell CMake where to find those specific libraries
If you want to build a universal binary for Mac OS X, CMake sets it
all up for you if you use -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="i386;x86_64"
when configuring.
You need to run the CMake commands from the Visual Studio command
prompt, not the regular or Windows SDK one. Select the right generator
for your version with the -G "Visual Studio X" option. See [the wiki] (https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/wiki/Building-libgit2-on-Windows) for more detailed instructions. Android ------- Extract toolchain from NDK using,
make-standalone-toolchain.shscript. Optionally, crosscompile and install OpenSSL inside of it. Then create CMake toolchain file that configures paths to your crosscompiler (substitute
{PATH}with full path to the toolchain): SET(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Linux) SET(CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION Android) SET(CMAKE_C_COMPILER {PATH}/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc) SET(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER {PATH}/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++) SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH {PATH}/sysroot/) SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER) SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY) SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY) Add
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE={pathToToolchainFile} -DANDROID=1to cmake command when configuring.
