git/path.c, branch v1.6.2

Introduce the function strip_path_suffix()

2009-02-20T06:45:48Z

The function strip_path_suffix() will try to strip a given suffix from a given path. The suffix must start at a directory boundary (i.e. "core" is not a path suffix of "libexec/git-core", but "git-core" is). Arbitrary runs of directory separators ("slashes") are assumed identical. Example: strip_path_suffix("C:\\msysgit/\\libexec\\git-core", "libexec///git-core", &prefix) will set prefix to "C:\\msysgit" and return 0.

Revert "validate_headref: tighten ref-matching to just branches"

2009-02-12T21:02:09Z

This reverts commit b229d18a809c169314b7f0d048dc5a7632e8f916, at least until we figure out how to work better with TopGit that points HEAD to refs/top-bases/ hierarchy.

Remove unused normalize_absolute_path()

2009-02-07T20:23:30Z

This function is now superseded by normalize_path_copy(). Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Test and fix normalize_path_copy()

2009-02-07T20:23:30Z

This changes the test-path-utils utility to invoke normalize_path_copy() instead of normalize_absolute_path() because the latter is about to be removed. The test cases in t0060 are adjusted in two regards: - normalize_path_copy() more often leaves a trailing slash in the result. This has no negative side effects because the new user of this function, longest_ancester_length(), already accounts for this behavior. - The function can fail. The tests uncover a flaw in normalize_path_copy(): If there are sufficiently many '..' path components so that the root is reached, such as in "/d1/s1/../../d2", then the leading slash was lost. This manifested itself that (assuming there is a repository at /tmp/foo) $ git add /d1/../tmp/foo/some-file reported 'pathspec is outside repository'. This is now fixed. Moreover, the test case descriptions of t0060 now include the test data and expected outcome. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Fix GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES on Windows

2009-02-07T20:23:29Z

Using git with GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES crashed on Windows due to a failed assertion in normalize_absolute_path(): This function expects absolute paths to start with a slash, while on Windows they can start with a drive letter or a backslash. This fixes it by using the alternative, normalize_path_copy() instead, which can handle Windows-style paths just fine. Secondly, the portability macro PATH_SEP is used instead of expecting colons to be used as path list delimiter. The test script t1504 is also changed to help MSYS's bash recognize some program arguments as path list. (MSYS's bash must translate POSIX-style path lists to Windows-style path lists, and the heuristic did not catch some cases.)

Move sanitary_path_copy() to path.c and rename it to normalize_path_copy()

2009-02-07T20:23:29Z

This function and normalize_absolute_path() do almost the same thing. The former already works on Windows, but the latter crashes. In subsequent changes we will remove normalize_absolute_path(). Here we make the replacement function reusable. On the way we rename it to reflect that it does some path normalization. Apart from that this is only moving around code.

validate_headref: tighten ref-matching to just branches

2009-01-29T09:00:43Z

When we are trying to determine whether a directory contains a git repository, one of the tests we do is to check whether HEAD is either a symlink or a symref into the "refs/" hierarchy, or a detached HEAD. We can tighten this a little more, though: a non-detached HEAD should always point to a branch (since checking out anything else should result in detachment), so it is safe to check for "refs/heads/".
