Since users are disposing the _contents_ of the oidarray, not freeing
the oidarray itself, the proper cleanup function is
`git_oidarray_dispose`. Deprecate `git_oidarray_free`.
When `git_repository_hashfile` is handed an absolute path, it determines
whether the path is within the repository's working directory or not.
This is necessary when there is no `as_path` specified.
If the path is within the working directory, then the given path should
be used for attribute lookups (it is the effective `as_path`). If it is
not within the working directory, then it is _not_ eligible.
Importantly, now we will _never_ pass an absolute path down to attribute
lookup functions.
Using a `git_oid *` in filter options was a mistake; it is a deviation
from our typical pattern, and callers in some languages that GC may need
very special treatment in order to pass both an options structure and a
pointer outside of it.
Introduce a function to create an email from a diff and multiple inputs
about the source of the diff.
Creating an email from a diff requires many more inputs, and should be
discouraged in favor of building directly from a commit, and is thus in
the `sys` namespace.
Create `git_email_*` which will encapsulate email creation and
application, and `git_email_create_from_commit` in particular, which
creates an email for a single commit.
This change makes `git_remote_name_is_valid` be part of the public
interface of the library. This is needed for other language bindings to
be able to find this symbol (like in git2go, when linking against
libgit2 dynamically).
Allow users to specify additional repository extensions that they want
to support. For example, callers can specify that they support
`preciousObjects` and then may open repositories that support
`extensions.preciousObjects`.
Similarly, callers may opt out of supporting extensions that the library
itself supports.
A `git_buf` is now a read-only structure as far as callers are
concerned. This is a mechanism that we can return data to callers
using memory that is owned by the library and can be cleaned up by
callers (using `git_buf_dispose`).
A `git_buf` can no longer be allocated by callers or provided to the
library.
Using a callback to set a resolve_url is not particularly idiomatic.
Deprecate it in favor of the `set_instance_url` and
`set_instance_pushurl` functions which can now be called from the
`git_remote_ready_cb` callback.
Introduce a new mechanism for `git_rebase_commit` for callers to
customize the experience. Instead of assuming that we produce the
commit for them, provide a commit creation callback that allows callers
to produce the commit themselves and return the resulting commit id.
Users may want to override the URL on a particular instance of a remote,
instead of updating the configuration. Previously, users could use a
callback to do this, but this is not particularly idiomatic.
This change introduces git_odb_write_multi_pack_index(), which creates a
`multi-pack-index` file from all the `.pack` files that have been loaded
in the ODB.
Fixes: #5399
Introduce GIT_OPT_SET_ODB_LOOSE_PRIORITY and GIT_OPT_SET_ODB_PACKED_PRIORITY
to allow overriding the default priority values for the default ODB
backends. Libgit2 has historically assumed that most objects for long-
running operations will be packed, therefore GIT_LOOSE_PRIORITY is
set to 1 by default, and GIT_PACKED_PRIORITY to 2.
When a client allows libgit2 to set the default backends, they can
specify an override for the two priority values in order to change
the order in which each ODB backend is accessed.
