    Fix repository discovery with ceiling_dirs at current directory git only checks ceiling directories when its search ascends to a parent directory. A ceiling directory matching the starting directory will not prevent git from finding a repository in the starting directory or a parent directory. libgit2 handled the former case correctly, but differed from git in the latter case: given a ceiling directory matching the starting directory, but no repository at the starting directory, libgit2 would stop the search at that point rather than finding a repository in a parent directory. Test case using git command-line tools: /tmp$ git init x Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/x/.git/ /tmp$ cd x/ /tmp/x$ mkdir subdir /tmp/x$ cd subdir/ /tmp/x/subdir$ GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/tmp/x git rev-parse --git-dir fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git /tmp/x/subdir$ GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/tmp/x/subdir git rev-parse --git-dir /tmp/x/.git Fix the testsuite to test this case (in one case fixing a test that depended on the current behavior), and then fix find_repo to handle this case correctly. In the process, simplify and document the logic in find_repo(): - Separate the concepts of "currently checking a .git directory" and "number of iterations left before going further counts as a search" into two separate variables, in_dot_git and min_iterations. - Move the logic to handle in_dot_git and append /.git to the top of the loop. - Only search ceiling_dirs and find ceiling_offset after running out of min_iterations; since ceiling_offset only tracks the longest matching ceiling directory, if ceiling_dirs contained both the current directory and a parent directory, this change makes find_repo stop the search at the parent directory.

  • libgit2 - the Git linkable library

    Travis Build Status AppVeyor Build Status Coverity Scan Build Status

    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. Additionally, the example code has been released to the public domain (see the separate license for more information).

    What It Can Do

    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:

    • SHA conversions, formatting and shortening
    • abstracted ODB backend system
    • commit, tag, tree and blob parsing, editing, and write-back
    • tree traversal
    • revision walking
    • index file (staging area) manipulation
    • reference management (including packed references)
    • config file management
    • high level repository management
    • thread safety and reentrancy
    • descriptive and detailed error messages
    • …and more (over 175 different API calls)

    Optional dependencies

    While the library provides git functionality without the need for dependencies, it can make use of a few libraries to add to it:

    • pthreads (non-Windows) to enable threadsafe access as well as multi-threaded pack generation
    • OpenSSL (non-Windows) to talk over HTTPS and provide the SHA-1 functions
    • LibSSH2 to enable the SSH transport
    • iconv (OSX) to handle the HFS+ path encoding peculiarities

    Initialization

    The library needs to keep track of some global state. Call

    git_libgit2_init();

    before calling any other libgit2 functions. You can call this function many times. A matching number of calls to

    git_libgit2_shutdown();

    will free the resources. Note that if you have worker threads, you should call git_libgit2_shutdown after those threads have exited. If you require assistance coordinating this, simply have the worker threads call git_libgit2_init at startup and git_libgit2_shutdown at shutdown.

    Threading

    See THREADING for information

    Conventions

    See CONVENTIONS for an overview of the external and internal API/coding conventions we use.

    Building libgit2 - Using CMake

    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 (version 2.8 or newer) 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 https://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 ON)
    • STDCALL: Build libgit2 as stdcall. Turn off for cdecl (Windows; defaults to ON)

    Compiler and linker options

    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

    MacOS X

    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.

    Windows

    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 website](http://libgit2.github.com/docs/guides/build-and-link/) 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}to cmake command when configuring.
